From Yanzhou to Dingbei, there was a total delay of three and a half days on the road.

Dingbei is really just a border town, sparsely populated. There are only two staggered streets in the town, and some of the sparse shanty houses look a little bleak.

According to the news obtained by Yang Zhao, Zhangzhu did not take much effort to come to a low shop, which is a shop that sells paper ties, and there are a lot of bamboos used to make paper ties, and some bamboo strips that have been chopped thinly. From the door, there are some finished products inside, from the spiritual house to all kinds of paper-tied spiritual vessels, colorful, indescribably beautiful, but this beauty reveals a gloomy taste.

"Is anyone there, please?" Zhangzhu hadn't seen anyone for a long time, so he asked in a loud voice.

No one answered for a long time, and the leap student wondered: "Is it a mistake?" ”

Just when everyone was puzzled, they suddenly saw half a face appear behind a spiritual house, and asked gloomily: "What do you want to buy?" ”

This situation made several people at the scene startled, even Fu Zhangzhu's face changed slightly, she gasped and said, "May I ask if this is Zhao Geng's house?" "Are you sure you're talking to people and not ghosts? Zhangzhu didn't expect that she would also be afraid of these one day.

"What are you looking for Zhao Geng?" The man in the back walked out, and when he reached the bright place, he saw that it was a forty-five-year-old half-old man, with gray hair, a wrinkled face, wearing a green shirt, and holding a jar of paste in his hand, and it seemed that he was busy working in the back.

"We are from Yanzhou, we are his friends, we want to visit him, is he at home?"

The man looked at the two of them several times, and finally looked inward: "Lao Jiu, someone is looking for you." ”

At this time, Zhao Geng was busy in the backyard, and he didn't hear it for a while, so the half-old man said to them: "I guess he didn't hear it, you go to the back to find him." ”

It seems that there is no mistake, Zhangzhu went to the house, Yan Sheng felt that this shop was a little gloomy and terrible, but the room was not very bright, and the eyes of those paper villains were even more terrifying, he didn't notice his feet, he felt that he had kicked something, and when he looked at it, he saw that it was a black coffin. Yan Sheng suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, he took a few steps back, and then supported Chu Yuanzhen.

"Second son, watch your step."

Zhangzhu came out of the back door, and sure enough, he saw a relatively spacious courtyard, but there were a lot of semi-finished products in the courtyard, and there were two or three craftsmen busy, some helping to build shelves, some pasting paper, and some were bowing their heads to paint. Zhangzhu saw the man who was busy tying the wreath in the corner, the man was squatting, his figure couldn't be knocked out, but his age seemed to be right.

She didn't go over immediately, and shouted first: "Zhao Geng!" ”

Sure enough, the man who was busy tying flowers looked back, and he saw the three people who appeared at the door. He didn't know any of them, these were customers who came to buy things, he stood up and walked towards them,

"What are you going to buy?"

Yan Sheng felt that this was too taboo, and hurriedly said: "We are not here to buy things, we are here to see Zhao Geng." ”

See him?! Zhao Geng was even more puzzled in his heart, he looked at the three of them back and forth, and said in surprise: "How many are you?" ”

Zhangzhu said simply and clearly: "We are from Yanzhou, we came to ask you something, is it convenient for you?" ”

Zhao Geng looked at the white and beautiful woman in front of him, although he didn't know what these people were doing when they came to the door, but he still enthusiastically invited them to sit in the house.

Zhao Geng didn't understand why these people came to him, he asked Yuan Zhen and Zhangzhu to serve tea, and they were carefully accompanied by him.

Zhangzhu opened his mouth first: "It's really offensive that we came uninvited, but this trip is that we have to go, I heard that you served in the army in the big camp in the north a few years ago?" ”

Zhao Geng immediately thought of the Xie case, he had left the barracks for several years, and he was still found, this was to mention the events of the year, he didn't know the details of these people, so he spoke more carefully.

"Where did you hear about me?"

Zhangzhu also said straight to the point: "Of course it's where you used to stay." We heard from other soldiers, we heard that you used to be General Xie's personal guard? ”

Zhao Geng's eyes narrowed slightly, and he also admitted happily: "I have stayed under General Xie's account for two years." ”

"Oh? Two years is not a long time. After hearing that General Xie's matter came out, the imperial court carried out a major purge of his old department, and most of his subordinates disappeared, and some of them were obviously killed. I heard that General Xie was under his tent before he entered Beijing? ”

These people belong to the imperial court? Isn't the Xie case already closed, why do you still mention this matter? Zhao Geng secretly felt that something was wrong.

"Although I am his personal guard, I don't know anything about it. Don't even think about it. ”

Zhao Geng's attitude made Zhangzhu not surprised, as her father's guard, she didn't believe it if she didn't know anything about the events of the year. Zhao Geng was about to leave, and Chu Yuanzhen spoke at this time.

"Don't worry, we are not people sent by the imperial court, and we will definitely not tell the upper authorities and say half a word about you. We also know that General Xie's case is complicated, and some places were hastily closed before they were fully clarified. We just wanted to get a little bit of information from you about what happened back then, can you tell us what you know? ”

Zhao Geng looked at them in disbelief and said, "Who are you?" ”

Zhangzhu calmly replied, "I am his daughter." ”

Zhao Geng was stunned at this moment, and he looked at Fu Zhangzhu in disbelief. Seeing that he didn't believe it, Zhangzhu said, "Do you want me to practice a set of Xie family boxing for you in person?" Zhangzhu said and got up.

At this time, Zhao Geng spoke again: "I don't know much about General Xie's family affairs. ”

"I can name the three generations of the Xie family, and I also know those nephews and nieces. Still don't believe it? ”

Zhao Geng hesitated, and after a while, he nodded and said, "Even if you are really his daughter, but I heard that the entire Xie family has suffered, what else can you do to inquire about the affairs of the year?" ”

Zhangzhu said: "I want to avenge my father's grievances, the Xie family has been loyal and martyred for generations, and I am not allowed to be slandered and insulted." It is engraved on the pillar of shame in history. ”

Zhao Geng saw that the palm bead was like this, he believed it a little in his heart, and he sat down again.

"What do you want to know?"

"Naturally, it's about everything about my father in the camp. ”

Zhao Geng was a little embarrassed, and Yuan Zhen added: "You don't have to mind, just say whatever you know." ”

Zhao Geng looked at the two people in front of him, the man was handsome and the woman was pretty. Are these two really here to overturn the case for General Xie? The events of that year have been sealed in his heart for a long time, and since he came back from Yanzhou, he has never mentioned anything about the things in the camp to anyone, even if it is his pillow person.
