Chapter 144: Dead?

Fusu decided to go looking for Zhang Liang first, taking advantage of the fact that the news of Jin Yi's arrival had not yet spread, to meet Zhang Liang before he escaped, if not to convince him to serve the Qin State, at least to express the importance he attached to him. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info And Han Xiu in Xinzheng, if he has already died, he is useless in the past now, and if he is not dead, he should not leave at will.

The next day, Ji Chang led a group of Langzhong to start the household registration statistics of Yangzhai City, and Tian Zhi and others were there, and the work was carried out smoothly. Xiong Qi stayed in Yangzhai for three days, and Fusu also accompanied him in Yangzhai, always thinking about Zhang Liang, don't run away.

When Xiong Qi left Yangzhai, Fusu and Tian Zhi went out of the city to see each other off.

"Fusu, Yingchuan is not stable, I will leave Xiong Jian behind to protect your safety." When the time of parting came, Xiong Qi said to Fusu.

Fusu had the heart to refuse, but seeing Xiong Qi's non-negotiable expression, he nodded and accepted.

"Thank you, Prime Minister."

"I heard that you also gave a recital to the king, reminding you of the drought in Yingchuan County, but you have a heart." Xiong Qi was quite satisfied with Fusu's performance in the past few days, and praised it.

"I can't be praised by the prime minister, if there is no reminder from the prime minister, I can't think of this, I'm ashamed." Fusu said modestly.

"Okay, you go back, send it again, and it'll be in Xu County."

Fusu bowed down and listened to Xiong Qi's frame in the carriage until he couldn't see it anymore, and then slowly returned.

Back in Yangzhai, Fusu used the excuse of carrying out household registration statistics separately, speeding up, and explained to Tian Zhi, who sent some guards and servants to follow, but there was not much obstruction, but only reminded Fusu to pay attention to safety.

Fusu gladly accepted, changed into ordinary clothes, and led ten Lang Zhong out of Yangzhai City and galloped towards the southwest.

Jiaxian County is not far from Yangzhai, and it took less than half a day for them to rush to the place and be picked up in the post house by the county order. Fusu declined the county order's kindness to immediately pick up the wind and wash the dust for them, and let him find an older official, and went out with Meng An and a kind of guard.

"It's up ahead." The old official named Chen Quanshui didn't know who the noble prince in front of him was, although he was dressed ordinarily, he could command the county order, and there were so many attendants, it was estimated that he was from Xianyang.

"Old Chen, you didn't bring the wrong place, right?" Fusu listened to a noise in the distance, and there seemed to be a faint cry floating out.

"Don't worry, son, never, the little old man has lived in Jiaxian for generations, and he knows very well about the ministers and doctors in the city, the Zhang family is a rare rich family in Jiaxian, I will never be mistaken." Chen Quanshui swore solemnly.

"Hmm." Fusu nodded and walked towards the mansion, where there was indeed a plaque of Zhang's mansion hanging on the door.

Fusu and the others walked into the house, only to see that there was chaos everywhere, a mess, bursts of mourning, and no one came to inquire, so they had to wait quietly at the door.

Seeing this, Chen Quanshui walked to the courtyard by himself, and after a while, he came over with an old servant wearing filial piety clothes.

The old servant looked at Fusu and said, "I don't know what happened to the son's coming to the Zhang family?" ”

"I wonder what's going on in your house? Can Zhang Liang be at home? Fusu asked.

Before the old servant could answer, a loud shout came from a distance: "Zhang Liang is dead, you go!" ”

Fusu followed the prestige, a young girl who looked clear-eyed, fifteen or sixteen years old, also wearing filial piety clothes, with tears on her face, and a young man with two hand-held sticks, came out of the courtyard and looked at him with an unkind face.

Yu Bai dodged, stood in front of Fusu and looked at the girl with a wary face, Xiong Jian got closer to Fusu, and his hand was already holding the hilt of the sword.

Fusu took a step forward and asked the girl, "Zhang Liang died?" Who are you? ”

"Dead! You don't care who I am, get out, or don't blame me for being rude! The girl found that the other party was numerous, and all of them seemed to be strong in martial arts, so she did not continue to approach Fusu and them, and replied from a distance.

Fusu pondered for a while, couldn't figure out what the situation was, and said to the old servant beside him: "I'm a friend of Zhang Liang, can I go and worship?" ”

"I don't need to!" The girl said coldly.

The old servant beside him did not speak, and when he looked at the girl, he was full of distress and love.

Fusu opened his mouth and wanted to continue to say something, but before he could speak, a young man next to the girl shouted: "I don't need to say it, why don't you get out quickly, do you want to be beaten!" After speaking, he raised the stick in his hand, signaling that if Fusu didn't leave, he would be beaten.

Fusu's face was unpredictable, he groaned, and said: "I have no malice, I did come to find Zhang Liang, since Zhang Liang died, let me pay tribute." ”

After Fusu finished speaking, he walked forward, Yubai and the guards followed closely, getting closer and closer to the girl, the girl was a little scared in her eyes, but she covered it well, her face remained the same, and the young man next to her raised the stick, trying to stop Fusu from approaching, but was stopped by the girl.

The girl turned around and walked inside, ignoring Fusu and the others. The old servant walked in front of Fusu and led the way.

Fusu walked through a porch, and it was indeed the layout of the mourning hall in front of him, and he could see a man lying in the middle of the mourning hall, and there were seven or eight women kneeling around him, sobbing in a low voice.

Under the guidance of the old servant, Fusu worshiped the deceased, Fusu did not speak, but secretly observed, the mourning hall was very poorly arranged, the deceased was about twenty years old, skinny, corpse spots had appeared on his face, and a faint smell of corpses came out.

Maybe it was Fusu's worship that made everyone in the mourning hall lose so much hostility towards Fusu, and they all returned the salute to Fusu, but the girl did not express it.

Fusu didn't care, took out a stack of gold bills from Meng An, handed it to the old servant, and in the old servant's surprise, turned around and left.

The girl's face was a little strange at this time, and she seemed to want to say something when she saw Fusu leave, but she didn't say anything in the end.

Fusu stood outside Zhang's mansion, looking up at the sky, silent.

Chen Quanshui, who was on the side, saw that Fusu casually gave the Zhang family a stack of gold, and had already decided that Fusu must be a big man, looked at Fusu's face, and said in a low voice: "I'm afraid that the son has misunderstood, I have some friendship with the Zhang family, and I know that it was not Zhang Liang who died, but the second son of the Zhang family, named Zhang Gao." ”

When Fusu heard Chen Quanshui's words, he turned his head to look at him and said, "What's going on?" ”

"Alas, speaking of which, these people in the Zhang family are also quite pitiful, Gongzi Gaoyi."

Fusu didn't respond, just waited quietly.

"When Prime Minister Zhang Cheng was alive, the Zhang family was immeasurably beautiful, and the two generations of the Zhang family did the Xiangguo of the Five Dynasties, not to mention in Jiaxian, even in the whole of South Korea, there was no one to compare, and the nobles who came to the Zhang family every year did not know how many. But after Prime Minister Zhang Cheng died twenty years ago, all this changed, Zhang Liang was only two years old at the time, Zhang Gao was just born, and there were only two men left in Zhang Mansion, how could they afford Zhang Mansion, fortunately, Zhang Chengxiang's younger brother was still there, but Zhang Liang and they were not bullied. When Zhang Liang was sixteen years old, his uncle also died, and Zhang Liang went to Xinzheng to seek an official, but this time it was six or seven years, and he did not get the official position, but he offended many Xinzheng magnates and was driven back to Jiaxian. ”
