In the clearing in the forest, Liu Jian and Zhao Yun sat on the ground.

Zhao Yun crossed his knees and sat quietly opposite Liu Jian, his head was lowered, his brows were furrowed, and his expression looked extremely complicated.

And behind Zhao Yun, his so-called "fox friends and dog friends" and "idle men in the market" are also sitting cross-legged behind Zhao Yun, whether it is their demeanor or posture, they are exactly the same as Zhao Yun, and they are completely surprising.

Liu Jian looked back and forth at the group of teenagers in front of him, shook his head, and sighed:

"An idle man in the market, a dog falcon, unlearned, unskilled, and unscrupulous, but in fact, it is clearly a group of young men who have worked hard and have ambitions...... The day before yesterday at your Zhao family, you and the others called friends and made a loud noise, all of them were pretended, right?"

Faced with Liu Jian's questioning, Zhao Yun was silent at first.

But then, as if he had figured it out, he said:

"Yes!"

Liu Jian leaned forward again: "You are at odds with your brother, and you are rude in front of me and others, and you and your brother have already discussed, right?"

Zhao Yun took a deep breath: "Yes!"

Liu Jian continued: "Those so-called volunteers under your brother Zhao Jun are also fakes at all, and you don't have two thousand volunteers in Zhending County at all! Isn't that right?"

Zhao Yunzheng said, "There are righteous troops, but there are less than two thousand."

Liu Jian said: "The so-called two thousand righteous soldiers are just a means used by your brother and the county magistrate of Zhending to defraud the state and county of weapons, money and food? Right? They are lying! is deceiving the prime minister, deceiving the king of Changshan, and also deceiving me!"

Zhao Yun took a deep breath and slowly closed his eyes.

At this time, he completely lost the desperate youthful recklessness that he had when he quarreled with Zhao Jun in the Zhao family a few days ago.

At this moment, he seemed calm and calm, and when he heard Liu Jian tell him and his brother's big secret, he didn't have any waves.

This is the real young Zhao Yun, this is his true appearance.

Including the teenagers behind him, they didn't have the hustle and bustle when Liu Jian saw them for the first time, and they all sat upright, and they all didn't lose their demeanor.

Liu Jianyan said: "From the first time I saw your so-called righteous army, I felt that something was wrong, although those soldiers of the righteous army looked very strong and well-trained, but most of them didn't know each other, if it was really a township rebel army, most of them should be neighbors, and they must be familiar with each other, this is a major feature of the righteous army, and they can't hide it from my eyes!"

Zhao Yun nodded, "Yes."

"And the other time in your Zhao family, you and your brothers were scolded by Zhao Jun as soon as they entered the door, and then your brother and you began to argue, provoking you to be unhappy and rude, since you went back to the bedroom, it seems that there are no flaws, but if you think about it, there were many jerky and contrived actions during the period, but we all drank too much wine at the time and didn't think about it."

"This is clearly your brother's deliberate attitude, your brother doesn't want you to have any contact with us nobles, so he makes a joke to argue with you, and you and the others are also deliberately disrespectful in front of us, in order to avoid us, right?"

Zhao Yun took a deep breath: "What Uncle Fang said is good."

"As I expected, you all know a little bit about your brother and the county commander making a fake rebel army and defrauding the state and county of money and food, and your brother Zhao Jun and you are pretending to be like this, so that you and others can stay out of the matter and protect you, right?" ….

The young man Zhao Yun stood up, clasped his hands, and made a long gesture towards Liu Jian, and pleaded:

"Since Uncle Fang has seen through us, Yun only asks Uncle Fang to temporarily forgive my brother's sins, Zhao Yun is willing to join the army as a pawn before the battle, and the merit will be compensated, if there is merit, Yun does not ask for any promotion, but only wants to atone for his brother when he beheads the enemy when he breaks the thief on the border of the Han Dynasty."

Behind Zhao Yun, those young men also stood up and saluted Liu Jian together:

"We are willing to fight with our lives, but we have merit, I don't want to be promoted and rewarded, I just want to atone for Brother Zhao!"

Liu Jian raised his hand and said, "The law of the imperial court is here, and I don't have the final say on anything!" You need to follow the rules of the imperial court!"

"It's up to you to tell the truth!"

"People, wrong once, maybe

There is still a chance to make amends, but if you make mistakes again and again, you will fall deeper and deeper, and I am afraid that no one will be able to wait."

"The reason why I didn't expose Zhao Jun in person three days ago is because I always feel that Zhao Jun is not a stupid and dull man who is greedy for money and profits and will use such a stupid method to cheat money! There must be something hidden in it."

"Zhao Yun, today's pastor is secretly looking for you here, just to listen to the truth! This is really what happened, why did Zhao Jun do such a big crime, if you know the details, just say it!"

"I can't guarantee that I will definitely spare Zhao Jun, he can't hide from the guilt he deserves! But it should not be his punishment, and this pastor will never be biased to let him take the blame for others, of course, you can not say it, I will verify it myself in the future, and you will choose for yourself!"

When the words fell, there was silence in the field.

Then, I saw Zhao Yun kneeling on one knee.

He hugged his fist towards Liu Jian and said, "Yun Jiu has heard the name of Liu Yuanjun, who has broken Xianbei, and when I see it today, he is indeed a hero! The heroic souls of the 1,700 heroes of Changshan can be seen!"

After saying that, he saw Zhao Yun turn his head, but the little brothers behind him said:

"Kneel down for Uncle Fang!"

Brush!

I saw that these teenage boys knelt down in front of Liu Jian in unison, and their movements were so neat that they were shocking.

Rao is Liu Jian and Cheng Pu have been in battle for a long time, and they are also very surprised at this moment.

Really well trained!

Zhao Yun stood up and walked to the first boy's side.

That young man was the same boy who sent wild things to Zhao Jun at Zhao's house the day before yesterday, but was refuted by Zhao Jun and asked him to take it back.

Zhao Yun said, "Lan, take off your outer clothes."

The young man didn't say a word, and directly took off his outer clothes.

On his body that had not yet grown, there were three deep scars on his chest, although the scabs had fallen off to reveal new flesh, but they were still shocking, and it was conceivable how seriously the young man had been injured in the first place.

Zhao Yun said, "Uncle Fang, don't hide it! At the time of the Yellow Turban Uprising, the Prime Minister of Changshan and the King of Changshan all abandoned the country and left, and the thieves who were originally hiding in the Taihang Mountains took advantage of the Yellow Turban to rise up, robbed by fire, and repeatedly sent troops to loot the counties, and I Zhending County can be said to bear the brunt!"

"At that time, the thieves of Taihang plundered the county warehouse, and they were still not satisfied, but the Wubao forts around the county were heavily guarded, and there were apprentices to help defend them, and the thieves did not dare to attack them, so they were in the township, how many villagers' goods and grains were robbed by thieves, how many people's fathers and brothers were killed by thieves, and how many people's mothers, aunts, wives and sisters were humiliated by thieves!" ….

"At that time, Chu Yan and her father called on the villagers to hide in the mountains and forests, but after all, there are still people who can't leave, what about those villagers who can't go into the mountains and can only guard their homes and land? If there are no soldiers in the country, will you be harmed by thieves?"

"So my brother Zhao Jun recruited young people from the township to form a righteous army, self-sufficient, and used the people to fill the army to resist the thieves!"

After that, Zhao Yun stretched out his hand to the young man who was showing his upper body, and said, "This is my righteous brother Xiahou Lan, he lost his father since he was a child, and there are only two brothers in the family, Xiahou Zhi and Xiahou Qi, and the three brothers all responded to my brother's call to join the righteous army to protect Zhending!"

"The three brothers defend Zhending, when the two brothers fight with the thief, they all fight bravely and die without retreating, Lan is fifteen years old this year, he was stabbed three times in the chest, and he almost died, and he had to get up after lying on the couch for two months, Lan's mother was weak and could not farm, and the thief could only sell the land to Haoyou in this county after retreating, and buy medicine for Lan to treat his injuries, and the men of the family were all mourned in order to protect Zhending, but in the end they didn't even have the field, shouldn't the court give money and food to give compensation?!!

When he said this, there was a faint mist in the eyes of the young Zhao Yun, his teeth trembled slightly, and his voice was a little excited.

He took a deep breath and walked over to another kneeling teenager.

"Take off your clothes and show Uncle Fang!"

The boy had stripped off his clothes, and he had a large scar on his lower left abdomen, and the skin around him was healed, but the torn flesh was blurred.

"This is Chen Xiong, a native of my village, his father and his uncle and brother, who were all killed by thieves when resisting the thieves of Taihang, and his family of men beheaded 17 thieves and rescued more than 20 women and children who were taken captive, but they gained nothing! When his father was killed by a thief with a rain of arrows, Chen Xiong was in the abdomen

An arrow, still wounded and desperately carrying his father's corpse back to the battle, his mother cried for three days, unable to see, Chen Xiong took care of his mother, and after the war, Bo Tian was also purchased by Haoyou, do they deserve the whole family to die, and they don't even stutter food!"

When Liu Jian heard this, he was silent.

Zhao Yun stretched out his hand and pointed to a young man: "This Wang Huanwang brother, thirteen years old, both parents died at the hands of thieves, and his two sisters were robbed into Taihang Mountain by thieves, and their lives and deaths are still unknown!" If it weren't for my brother who brought him into the rebel army and provided him with food, he wouldn't have survived at all, and he wouldn't want to join the rebel army to avenge his parents! But their houses were burned down, and the homestead was not even sold, so it was directly occupied, who cares about him?!"

Speaking of this, Zhao Yun waved his hand vigorously and said loudly, "Take off all the clothes on your bodies!" Show it to Uncle Fang!"

Under Zhao Yun's command, everyone took off their clothes.

It's just a group of teenagers, and each of them is more or less scarred, which is shocking.

Zhao Yun pursed his lips, his eyes were slightly red, and asked Liu Jiandao, "Two thousand rebels, there were indeed two thousand rebels at the beginning, but now, there are less than three hundred people left, and those 1,700 people are already dead souls!" What Uncle Fang saw in Zhending recently was the number of gangsters who were borrowed by Zhending County's order to find a local haoyou, and they were all Haoyou's slaves!"

"Fang Bo saw two thousand fake rebels at this moment, but he didn't know that the 1,700 people who died, in the situation of no state minister, no county order, and no official army, fought to the death and thieves for this land. ….

"But now, the thieves have retreated, Changshan is peaceful, and a new county order has arrived...... But the family of the 1,700 sons who died had no one to support them, and the fields they left behind were encroached upon by those who were watchers, and my Zhao family almost used up all the grain stock, and they were unable to settle a few families!"

"At this time, my brother can choose not to ask, or he can choose not to ask, but if this is the case, my Zhao clan has no shame to exist between heaven and earth!"

"Chu Yan can abduct villagers into the countryside as thieves, but my Zhao family can't! All my brother can do is to compromise with the county order, unite with the heroes, pretend to spread the momentum of the righteous army, and defraud the county of money and food! My brother didn't do it for money, he just wanted the 1,700 villagers to look at the nine springs, that's all."

Liu Jian asked, "In that case, why did your brother specially invite me to Zhending after he got my promise, aren't you afraid that I will see the flaws?"

"He's afraid! But there is no way, with so much money, food and equipment, Uncle Fang just agreed, how can he easily allow it, if he doesn't see the real person, how can he put grain in the country?"

Liu Jian said again: "The Haoyou family will not cooperate with you in vain, how much do they want for the baggage and goods promised to you by the state and county?"

"Seventy percent."

Liu Jian's fists couldn't help clenching.

After a while, his hands were released again.

He looked at the young men who were still kneeling in front of him.

These children, all to defend Zhending, fought with their families on the front line, and finally had nothing.

They are all orphans of the souls of the true heroes.

Perhaps, they are the real orphans of the Zhao family.

"Arise, all of you." Liu Jian's voice trembled a little.

Frowned
