In the evening, Zhang Guoyuan returned to his residence, bathed and changed clothes, and came to the study, only to see a chubby man in his fifties already waiting there. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

"I've seen Zhang Zhenshou." The man said respectfully.

"Lu Qianhu is very polite." Zhang Guoyuan said with a smile.

"Lu Qianhu saw what Zhao Lie did in the past two days, did you regret your decision to go out of Beijing?"

"I have no regrets, but I am glad that my family has gone this way, and I saw the rivers and mountains broken along the way, and the people were in distress, and my heart was sad, long live what the Lord took was a mess." Lu Ping sighed.

"It's enough for you to say this to my ears, don't say much, you, you haven't been promoted for many years, your mouth is a big deal." Zhang Guoyuan nodded and sighed.

"Lu is fifty and two years old this year, and he has been patrolling the small capital all his life, and it is also a happy life to have the opportunity to come out to serve the country, and this trip will definitely complete the things that the Lord of Long Live explains." Lu Pinghun said indifferently.

"I want you to be born in a noble family, it is said that it is good to enjoy a leisure, you have to be nosy, but you have to be nosy everywhere, but you have been in Beijing for half your life, you think about the water is clear and there are no fish, you still haven't understood it." Zhang Guoyuan shook his head and said.

"Lu Mou just didn't want to take food and salary like his brother in his life, recite poems, avoid the heat, and have more babies, this life is too boring." Lu Ping shook his head and said.

Zhang Guoyuan knew his temperament, and it was also because Lu Ping was more sincere that he recommended this old friend's younger brother to Long Live Ye, of course, Lu Ping also happened to be on duty in Jinyi Weinan Town.

"What do you think of Zhao Lie?" Since he is not convinced, Zhang Guoyuan will not talk much, and the business is important.

"Interesting. Interesting. Lu Ping said with a smile.

"How interesting." Zhang Guoyuan said strangely. How interesting.

"This Zhao Lie, I heard in Jingshi, is a peerless general. I thought that it must be first-class with Mangui, but he was better at using soldiers than Mangui, but he didn't expect that this person looked as black and rough as Mangui, but his mind was meticulous, and the excuse of not going to Beijing made everyone speechless. Lu Ping recalled Zhao Lie's expression and smiled.

"Well, at a young age, you can train an elite army, and you have repeatedly defeated Jiannu. If you don't count the gains, you will destroy tens of thousands of rebels in three wars and take the fortified city of Dengzhou, you can't be a simple character, but I'm afraid you will be disappointed. Zhang Guoyuan said solemnly.

"Of course, there is a legend that is right, he must have personally killed Jiannu." Lu Ping affirmed.

"Oh, how so." Zhang Guoyuan said strangely.

"Today I saw Zhao Lie in the inner room just a light send, and he made Zu Dale a stumbling one, you must know that Zu Dale is a general in Liaodong, and he has fought with Jiannu more than once in Liaodong. Zhao Lie just pushed lightly... Lu Ping learned Zhao Lie and made a gesture.

"Oh, I was talking to Master Zhu at that time. Did not see. Zhang Guoyuan squinted.

"Besides, the person next to Zhao Lie is not simple." Lu Ping said.

"Which person, how different." Zhang Guoyuan looked at Lu Ping.

"It's the general who is about the same age as Zhao Lie, this person is not far from Zhao Lie's left and right, but he is stealing the air but carefully observing the people in the room, it is all the people." Lu Ping said.

"That's a staff role." Zhang Guoyuan nodded, Lu Ping looked very carefully, and it seemed that he had not chosen the wrong person.

"No, this person must have seen blood, he is not a literati, it is not simple." Lu Ping shook his head and said.

"It seems that there are indeed capable people around this Zhao Lie. It's no wonder that he has reached this position at such an age, you know, he is simply forced by the court to do it. Zhang Guoyuan whispered.

"Don't worry, Lord Zhang, soon we will know who made the decision in the Zhao family, whether it is Zhao Haiming or Zhao Lie, and whether there are Zhuge and the like around him." Lu Ping immediately patted his chest.

"Well, the emperor has high hopes for us, and we can't ignore it." Zhang Guoyuan sighed, this errand is not easy, only he knows the things here, and he won't even say it.

"Don't worry, my lord, Lu Ping will not disappoint His Majesty." Lu Ping arched his hand.

The next day, Lu Ping, who was dressed in a short dress and was undoubtedly the same as the common people, quietly walked out of the official office from the side door with three servants.

Lu Ping came to walk on the street and saw that many damaged buildings were being repaired, and many people were leveling the streets, but the broken doors and windows were repaired, and the potholed streets were leveled.

As for the soldiers who came to the door to loot money and food, there were countless cases, and the destruction of houses was not counted.

Bang, one turned his head and fell to the ground, jumping up a few mud spots and landing on the surface of Lu Ping's feet.

Lu Ping's entourage was just about to get angry, but Lu Ping glared, and several people didn't dare to speak.

"I'm sorry, brother, as soon as this hand shakes, the brick will fall, look at this..." A middle-aged man standing on the courtyard wall laughed with him.

"It's okay, who doesn't have a broken hand, here you go." Lu Ping picked up the brick and handed it to the middle-aged man.

"How does this make, you see, alas." The middle-aged man wiped his dirty hands on his tattered clothes before taking the brick.

Lu Ping is also a fat old man dressed as a commoner, but he is also superior to a low-status craftsman.

"I said big brother, the ground is going to freeze, it's so cold, you're still working, you see your hands are a little cracked." Lu Ping was very affectionate.

"Alas, cold, tell my brother, it's cold, but I have a salary to take, don't hide it from my brother, my family has long been cut off, if it weren't for Lord Zhao's money to repair the streets and alleys, and repair the rebels, I would have to beg every day." The craftsman rubbed his hands vigorously, and then he was busy with the work, he spread the mortar, smoothed it with a trowel, and then put the bricks on them, and gently tapped them with a trowel to make them flush with the adjacent bricks.

"Big brother, come on." Lu Ping picked up a piece from the green brick on the ground and handed it to the craftsman with great discernment.

"Thank you, brother, alas, if it weren't for the eldest son of the family who was called to help the beam inside, there wouldn't be even a person who handed over the bricks." I know some of them, and the craftsman is not polite, he does break his hands here.

"These are all hired by Lord Zhao." Lu Ping pointed to these busy people nearby in surprise.

"That is, Lord Zhao employs thousands of people in Dengzhou, and almost every family has men working to earn wages." The craftsman laughed.

"Another corrupt official." Lu Ping's companion Lao Zhou pouted.

"What you say, what you say." The craftsman's frightened eyes looked at Lao Zhou fixedly.

"Corrupt officials and corrupt officials, or where did they get so much money to hire so many people to do things and buy people's hearts." Lao Zhou was a little louder.

"You are talking nonsense, Lord Zhao's family has a maritime trade business, which has just started, but Lord Zhao has never been rich or unkind, the Zhao family has spent hundreds of thousands of taels of silver on the army, and how many Yi people have been killed in Zhuozhou and Xuanchuan, this Kong Youde is rebellious, and Lord Zhao has been wiped out in several wars, this looks at my Dengzhou people's money and food have been robbed by the rebels, so I will find some work, let me wait for a way to live, you, you,"

The more the craftsman spoke, the more excited he became, pointing at Lao Zhou's face flushed and speechless.

A couple of filthy men ran out, "Dad, what's going on." ”

One of the young men shouted anxiously.

"Ahem," the craftsman coughed a few times, "they say that Lord Zhao is a corrupt official." ”

"Who said it, who of you said it," the young man pointed at a few people with the hammer in his hand, "It's not a good thing that there are more corrupt officials like this, it's really a bastard, it's not comfortable to see me and other people to support my family, well, you are outsiders." ”

"Little brother, don't worry, I'm not from Dengzhou, I'm from Weihai." Lu Ping said with a grin.

"Oh, no wonder, it turned out to be from Weihai." The young man put the hammer down, and suddenly he wheeled the hammer towards Lu Ping. "This is a rebel, a spy."

The other people also pounced on Lu Ping and the others.

Lu Ping put his left hand in gear, and pushed the young man's back with his right hand, and the young man flew out.

"Run." Lu Ping shouted, and he ran out with a swiftness that didn't match his chubby body.

The same is true for the others, if you don't run, you can't do it, and more than a dozen people with axes and shovels came out of the back yard, which is the rhythm of shooting them here.

Several people ran out of the street in a fit of rage until they couldn't see the chaser.

"Well, Lao Zhou is good, this temptation is good." Lu Ping gasped, "This, this Zhao Lie is really special enough to buy people's hearts." ”

"Ahem, ahem, this is nothing, but, Qianhu, this Zhao Lie is shouting now, even the governor is not good." Old Monday sat on the ground with his ass.

"Hmph, I think even what Lord Long Live said is not as good as what Lord Zhao said." Lu Ping said gloomily.

"My lord, this place is evil." Another from humanity.

"Hmph, everywhere is the world of the Ming Dynasty. Let's go, let's see. Lu Ping held the old waist and said.

Until after noon, they walked all over Dengzhou in Zhou Jiuli, and many of them were like this, which made Lu Ping's heart heavier and heavier.

Several people were hungry and chose a braised noodle shop to satisfy their hunger, why they chose one, this is because diagonally opposite is the Dengzhou camp, which used to be the standard camp, and now it is the military camp of the soldiers under Zhao Lie.

Each of them ordered a double portion of braised noodles and ate it, only Lu Ping chewed slowly, but his eyes were staring at the camp.

Outside the camp, thirty soldiers of the Broken Army were guarded, either armed with iron guns or muskets, and they stood in line one by one, looking ahead, their eyes constantly scanning the surrounding situation.

By the time Lu Ping finished eating slowly, it was already a stick of incense, and the other three had already finished eating.

"Lu Tou, they haven't moved since we came in." Lao Zhou clicked his mouth.

Lu Ping didn't say anything, he shouted to the worker, "It's too cold outside, I'll wait here to warm up for a while, you give me some hot water, and I'll give you another table of meal money." ”

Okay, the guy agreed, this good thing didn't agree, he hurriedly told the back to boil water.

A few people have been here for an hour, and these soldiers are still like this, and the iron armor on their bodies is covered with some mist, but they still stand upright.

Lu Ping and Lao Zhou glanced at each other in surprise, is this still human.

Then came the changing of the guard, and the rest of the soldiers were still the same, just there standing vigilantly watching everywhere.

On the way back, several people were silent.

"Lao Zhou, look at the team of soldiers outside who bought it back, their cars have been inspected." Lu Ping broke the silence.

"Well, Lu Tou, as long as such a soldier has seen blood and survived, it is too terrible." Lao Zhou exhaled white air.

Lu Ping nodded, looked at the gray sky and sighed. (To be continued.) )
