Take the capital of the Son of Heaven, the most powerful dynasty in Dongzhou, and under the rule of its third-class feudal monarch, who is more prosperous compared with a county government in the west that has risen due to sea trade, it is simply compared to who is more like a divine bird than the phoenix in the sky and the black chicken on the ground, although Zhong Wuli's words are not wrong, but they are inevitably a little ridiculous.

Zhang Haisheng listened to his stubbornness, lowered his head and smiled without making a sound, and then raised his head curiously, and picked up a large number of ready-to-wear shops in front of him.

This shop was built in the west square of the 'East City West Fang', a place of trading demarcated by the Nanyang City government, with a blue brick façade and low steps paved with white stone, which looks magnificent and clean.

On the eaves of the gate sticking out of the eaves are hung with a brocade cloth banner, and the four black flat characters of 'Yi Ji Yizhuang' are written, and there are all kinds of shops doing clothing and food business around, and the street business is very prosperous.

The shopkeeper of the clothing village was a middle-aged fat man with a white face and a short figure, and when he saw Zhong Wuli taking Zhang Haisheng into the door, he didn't wait for the guy hired by the shop to come forward, so he laughed and greeted: "No wonder I heard a magpie singing spring in front of my house this morning, it turned out that Lord Zhong had arrived."

Please sit, please sit, Cui San, don't serve tea yet. ”

After that, he looked at Zhang Haisheng who was looking around around Zhong Wuli, as if he didn't see the white cloth gown on his body, which was used as a robe and was extremely ill-fitting, and praised with a smile: "This is the little son of that family, he has an extraordinary spirit, and he is afraid that he will not be a tiger general again." ”

The human race has risen with difficulty in the wilderness, and the biggest battle is to kill and conquer, so the brave are highly respected among the people, and they are all highly regarded by the people, not to mention that Zhong Wuli is a military general who serves the country and has an official body, so it is normal for this shopkeeper to be so welcome.

Zhong Wuli, who was accustomed to being feared and flattered, sat down on a pear blossom wooden chair in the shop, took a sip of the tea that the young man had kindly served, patted Zhang Huansheng's head next to him and said, "This kid is the son of my own soldiers, and he is a hard-working man.

The old lady died in childbirth and died early, and the old man had his head cut off by a blow on the killing field a few days ago.

Now that he has lost his parents and has no clan to rely on, he has broken his brain due to excessive grief and has contracted the disease of leaving his soul, so he has to be sent to Tzu Chi Hall.

I thought that although I had the custody of the government, I always had to bring some change of clothes and shoes, so I came to you. ”

Hearing this, the shopkeeper didn't dare to play poor anymore, and said with a dry smile, "I see, then please wait a while." Then he turned around and personally picked out a few plain clothes and shoes made of muslin cloth that were not expensive or cheap, and sent them up.

Zhong Wuli nodded and paid the money, asked Zhang Huansheng to change into a set on the spot, and turned the rest into a burden to carry on his back, then said goodbye to the shopkeeper, and took Zhang Huansheng out of Yizhuang.

After that, the two found a nearby restaurant to eat and drink, and Zhong Wuli sent Zhang Huansheng to Tzu Chi Hall.

The Tzu Chi Hall in Nanyang Mansion is located on the outskirts of the North City Gate, and the mottled stone-walled courtyard is square, hundreds of zhang in length and width, surrounded by dense trees.

There are countless houses in the church, but most of them are old, all built on both sides of a seven-foot avenue that is already potholed, and at the end is a large empty courtyard paved with fine sand.

Although it is a place to raise the young and support the elderly, there is no power, but it is set up according to the edict of the first monarch of Xuguo, and it can be regarded as a party office.

The Si Tang of Nanyang Tzu Chi Hall is a tall and thin middle-aged man with a seven-foot-tall body, a face without four taels of horizontal flesh, and when he dealt with Zhong Wuli in the official room where he was struggling to maintain a decent appearance, although his tone was quite respectful, his face was still full of depression and incomprehension.

Listen to Zhong Wuli according to what he said in the clothing village. After the ghost finished talking about Zhang Huansheng's life experience, such a clever guy had already followed the conversation and took the initiative to accept this lonely and poor 'military orphan', which could be regarded as selling a good in front of the military general who was arrogant and difficult to provoke at a glance.

But he asked seriously: "My lord, since the father of this child sacrificed his life for the country, can he have military registration documents?" ”

"I'm the Xiaofeng Army, all the documents are in the hands of the military division bookkeeper personally ordered by General Sueye, I came in a hurry today, but I forgot to bring it," Zhong Wuli frowned and said: "Although this kid's father is only my own soldier, he is quite brave in battle, and he is also appreciated by the general.

If the cousin has to be a military member to take care of this child, then follow me to the general. ”

Zhong Wuli is the position of a school captain, and he belongs to the position of the sixth rank in the Nine Rank Officials Law of the Xu Kingdom, even if all the countries of the human race are military attaches and are more valuable than civil officials, but after all, he is not the chief official of the Tzu Chi Hall, even if the Si Tang does not give him face, he will not be able to return the color immediately.

But the official residence is four-grade, with the end of the Yinhai County garrison general and the edict envoy, but it is different, just find an excuse for the bandits, you can send this Jiupin Sitang to the edict, and then it will be difficult to think of it.

Hearing Zhong Wuli say this, Si Tang couldn't help but be furious, his face turned red, his fists clenched, and he actually stood up from the big seat, as if he was about to have a seizure, but in the face of Zhong Wuli's indifferent expression and the fierce aura faintly revealed between his eyebrows, he finally swallowed the anger in his heart.

For the five buckets of rice to bend over his own life, he bowed down, and said in a trembling voice: "My lord's words are serious, and the lower official will order someone to settle down here, this little child." ”

"That's the best," Zhong Wuli nodded with satisfaction when he heard this, "Since that's the case, then the general will leave."

By the way, the general also personally instructed Si Tang to treat this kid well, and promised that he would come to see it in person in the future, so please pay more attention. ”

When the words landed, he touched Zhang Huansheng's head and said, "Hello Sheng settled here, I will come to see you in a few days." He stood up and bowed his hand to the officer, and went straight out of the office and walked away.

Seeing Zhong Wuli behaving like this, Si Tang's annoyed body trembled, but he didn't get angry, he pointed at him without being upset, turned his head and ordered the messenger waiting behind him: "Go, go and put this kid in the 'orphan book', find a room to settle down." ”

When the words landed, Zhang Huansheng suddenly said: "I'm not afraid of a dilapidated house, but I can't sleep when I share it with others." ”

Hearing this, Si Tang's angry eyes widened, his gaze turned to Zhang Huansheng and stared fiercely, seeing his fearful and cowardly appearance, but he smiled bitterly like a deflated ball, and muttered to himself: "Xia Yingxi, you are afraid of the majesty of the general and captain, do you still want to take your anger out on a little child..."

After that, he shook his head and commanded, "That's it, let's arrange a separate place for this kid." ”
