Chapter 22: Persecution

"You are Zhang Han?"

A fat gentleman said with a cold face: "What are you messing around here about?" The ancestral hall of my Zhang family in Puzhou can also come and kneel any cat or dog? ”

Another tall and thin gentleman also said: "You should leave quickly, otherwise, take the post to the official, show you to the public, and then take you to the army, and don't want to turn over in this life!" ”

"Third uncle," Zhang Han first asked Zhang Xuezeng, Zhang Xuezeng replied with a wry smile, and then Zhang Han faced the two and said with a smile: "I don't know what the two elders are called, please forgive Xiao Ke for being rude." As for why he knelt in the ancestral hall, it was because Xiao Ke was a descendant of Feng Pangong's descendants, and a serious clansman of the Zhang family in Puzhou, how could this ancestral hall not kneel? ”

The fat gentleman said angrily: "What nonsense, your grandfather left Puzhou with the god lord back then, and he is no longer a member of the Zhang family in Puzhou." ”

The tall and thin gentleman looked dissatisfied, coughed lightly, and said: "Besides, he has no evidence, how can he be said to be the descendant of Brother Zhang Yun?" Could it be that whoever came to say that he was the descendant of Feng Pangong, we all have to recognize it? ”

Zhang Han nodded lightly, it turned out that these two people were the same generation as Zhang Yin and Zhang Yun's brothers.

With such a high rank in the clan, it is of course very appropriate to come and preside over such a thing.

Zhang Yun was squeezed out back then, it's very simple, the clan needs a person, not a talent at your fingertips, when Zhang Yun leaves, he must be full of resentment, how can these people look at Zhang Yun's descendants to easily recognize their ancestors and return to their ancestors?

Besides, he can still please Zhang Yin, and he came to beat Zhang Han, a water dog, and it was really easy to get freehand.

The current situation is really bad to the extreme!

Liang Hong's face was discouraged, his hands were a little trembling, and Yusheng was also his home and hard work, if He Yusheng was finished, although he could easily find the next home with his talent and accumulated connections, and continue to be his shopkeeper, but such a result was really not what he wanted.

Maybe people in later generations can change jobs as freely as eating, at least in the current era, Liang Hong can't pass the psychological level.

Liang Xing and Yang Qiu still looked indifferent, and their faces were more or less curious, but they didn't know how Zhang Han was going to pass this pass.

This little proprietor, his previous performance was enough to make them admire, he acted steadily and ruthlessly, and he was calm and decisive in case of trouble, but Zhang Han couldn't think about this matter in front of him after all?

……

Zhang Han still had a smile on his face, looked at the fat gentleman, and said with a smile: "My grandfather was divided back then, but he never had a clan from outside, and the god was also enshrined at home, and he never dared to slack off on the New Year's Festival. ”

This truth really doesn't make sense.

The tall and thin gentleman glanced at the fat gentleman with an embarrassed face, and said to Zhang Han impatiently: "Whether my cousin is out of the clan or separated from the family, these are two things, the important thing is how can you prove your identity?" On my Puzhou Zhang family's side, no one has seen you, and you haven't brought anyone from your house to come, just by what you say, the second grandfather will recognize you, so that you can recognize your ancestors and return to your ancestors. If my Puzhou Zhang family is a small family, I am afraid that you may not come to return to the sect, is this the truth? ”

This thin man is in his fifties, his face is shrewd, his eyes are shining with excitement, his words are like knives, almost forcing Zhang Han into a corner, and there is almost no room for argument on the top of the words.

This matter, according to what the thin man said, no matter how big the trouble is, the Puzhou Zhang family will not lose any face, Zhang Ran will not lose face, and the most people who know will say a few words about Zhang Ran is mean, and they will not feel embarrassed by the second master...... What Zhang Ran wants is face, as for his mean temperament, this has long been a public opinion, and Zhang Ran himself is very clear in his heart.

If you don't use such words, I'm afraid that Zhang Han will be able to run away to complain, and the matter involves famous religions, which is a major event that is more important than the criminal murder case, and the official reputation of the magistrate concerned will ...... It may be difficult for future generations to imagine that the magistrates were most concerned not about murder and robbery, but about famous cases.

As long as a county is famous for teaching cases, such as the case of promiscuity and incest, and the case of father and son killing each other, as soon as this kind of case comes out, the magistrate should not think about it when he takes the exam every three years...... This is the surface of Confucian governance, and even the Son of Heaven has to talk about the friendship of relatives, not to mention all living beings?

Indoctrination is absolutely above the criminal law, and the magistrate can bend the law with affection, but he must not abolish the law.

As soon as the tall and thin gentleman said this, the people around him who originally sympathized with Zhang Han also nodded frequently, Zhang Xuezeng wanted to speak, but his lips twitched, and he also closed his mouth.

Of course, he could see that Zhang Han and Zhang Cheng were very similar in appearance, almost carved out of a mold, so what?

Which of these grandfathers who spoke didn't know that Zhang Han was indeed Zhang Yun's bloodline? Who doesn't recognize? It's nothing more than opening your eyes to be blind, and if you recognize it, you can't pretend that you can't recognize it!

"This young man, get up and get out of here."

"Yes, I can't tell you about it, do you still have an elder in your family? I'll talk about it next time. ”

"It's also the Zhang family's kindness, if you change those families, someone is so messing around in front of the ancestral hall, first take the board and talk about it, and send so many elders to persuade with good words."

"Well, it's hard for a Qing official to decide family affairs, so let's say a few words."

Some of the onlookers have nothing to do with it, just look at the excitement, and some are kind-hearted, and come forward to persuade Zhang Han to leave quickly, otherwise Zhang Yan will be impatient, and Zhang Han will have to eat the loss in front of him...... I didn't see those nursing homekeepers, they were already with Liang Xing and Yang Qiu, and if one was wrong, the two sides would fight.

There are also those who talk to the Zhang family with the Shunfeng flag, stepping on Zhang Hanlai, and they are very happy.

There are different opinions, and there are all kinds of situations in the world, and it is also a rare experience for Zhang Han.

"I didn't expect to use this trick ......"

Just when everyone thought that Zhang Han had nothing to do, Zhang Han took a deep breath first, and then smiled suddenly.

"Liang Xing, take out the painting I have prepared."

"Yes, young proprietor."

Liang Xing and the house slaves in Zhangfu in Puzhou opposite were almost face to face, and both sides could reach out as soon as they stretched out, and the provocation in Liang Xing's eyes and the evil spirit on his face shocked many people...... These house slaves, that is, it is okay to bully the mud legs on Zhuangzi, but when they meet Liang Xing and Yang Qiu, who are full of evil and ruthless faces, they are always only bluffing, and they don't really dare to do it.

Besides, they had to wait for the order, but fortunately, before the break, Zhang Han called Liang Xing over.

"This is a portrait of my grandfather and my father, and those who know it know it, and I don't want to say more."

Before Zhang Han came here, he had already considered the situation in front of him, and he was still drawing with charcoal, but he was painting with his grandfather and father.

In the main house of his house, the tablets and portraits of his grandfather and father were originally enshrined, and the typical Chinese portrait painting method is more elegant, more than smart, more charming, and less realistic.

According to the portrait and his mother's suggestion, Zhang Han drew two paintings with charcoal before leaving home, and after Chang's affirmation, he brought them out.

"It's lifelike, it's so similar."

This is Chang's painting at that time, looking at the portraits of the grandfather and Zhang Chengye, Chang's was sad at that time, and cried for a while, and Zhang Han also persuaded him for a while before he got better.

These two paintings can be regarded as a "big killer", Zhang Han just waited for the other party's paintings to squeeze him into the corner, and said that he was dead, so he took out these two paintings.

At the moment, the Quartet was displayed, and the people present looked around, and the "buzzing" sound suddenly sounded.

People's eyes are not blind, Zhang Yun, Zhang Cheng, Zhang Han, the three generations of grandchildren are almost carved out of a mold, especially Zhang Yun and Zhang Han, may be inherited from generation to generation, and their appearance is more similar than that between Zhang Han and Zhang Cheng, father and son.

"Elephant, elephant!"

Finally, someone suddenly spoke out, but it was Zhang Xuezeng, who had endured until now.

This sentence seemed to make the flood gate suddenly open and vent, and the people who were talking in a low voice around all said loudly together: "Elephant, Brother Han is a blood relative of the eldest master, this can't be wrong!" ”

"What does the second master say now?"

"Anyway, I don't think someone has the face to say it."

"Hehe, eating people with a short mouth, now I know that young people may not be able to be bullied, this time it's really embarrassing."

"Who painted this picture? I want to inquire clearly, my mother has been dead for many years, and every time I think about it, it hurts my liver and intestines, if I can draw such a picture, I often get up early to offer incense and pray, and I can also relieve the pain in my heart a little. ”

"Who knows? Let's ask Brother Han later. ”

The fat and thin gentlemen both had flushed faces, and there were loud sneers and sarcasts around them, but this time, they all worked together and came at the two of them.

The original helper is not easy to speak, after all, the three generations of grandchildren on this portrait are too similar, this painting is also too real, too realistic, these two people have seen Zhang Yun, know that the painting is not fake, they are cheeky and say no, this is also unspeakable, but they are indeed just entrusted by others, but they are not at home, after a while, they have to cover their faces with the sleeves of their robes, and leave quickly, behind these two people, there was a burst of laughter.

"Third uncle." Zhang Han didn't show a happy look on his face, with what he knows about Zhang Ran now, I'm afraid that this old man won't bow his head to this point, and now bowing his head is a complete disgrace, the older he gets, the more stubborn he becomes, and Zhang Ran, who loves face, I'm afraid he won't give in so simply.

"Brother Han speaks." Zhang Xuezeng just got in the way, and he didn't dare to pat his chest to ensure that Zhang Han was Zhang Yun's descendant, so he could only not speak on the side, he was the kind of zealous and righteous warm-hearted, the most enthusiastic, and he felt very guilty about his performance just now, so he patted his chest and said to Zhang Han: "As long as the third uncle can do it, he will definitely help you." ”

"I would like to ask the third uncle to say a few words for me......"

Zhang Han pulled Zhang Xuezeng to the side, and there were some idlers in the crowd who wanted to come over to listen, and Liang Hong separated the crowd.

"That's ......"

Zhang Han's words were very concise and clear, and he finished speaking after a long time.

Zhang Xuezeng's face was a little weird, he didn't expect that at Zhang Han's age, he had actually learned to lure Zhang Yan to his advantage.

The words and things are very simple, Zhang Han asked for the protection of Puzhou, and he would send two thousand silver every year, which was regarded as a contribution to the family after returning to the sect.
