Su Qi'an looked at it, and in the column of prisoners, a young man with a disheveled hair stood up, and his words were a little hesitant.

Su Qi'an looked at it, and the person who spoke was in rags, and his loose hair covered his appearance, and he couldn't see who this person was at all.

But that voice made Su Qi'an feel a sense of familiarity, and his brows furrowed slightly, "Are you?"

Hearing Su Qi'an's question, this person was very excited, and hurriedly stepped forward, and the soldiers beside him saw this and wanted to protect Su Qi'an, but they were stopped.

This person played with his long hair and hurriedly said, "Mr. Su, it's me, I'm Chen Dao."

As soon as these words came out, Su Qi'an was shocked.

He looked at this person carefully, with a little surprise, "Chen? How could it be you, how did you come to Jiaozhou, how did you become a prisoner, what happened?"

Chen Dao's appearance surprised Su Qi'an, and he didn't hate Chen Dao.

In the original Battle of Kyoto, Chen Zhi did not run away directly with Zheng Liang's group of sons, but fought with the Tongguan defenders.

Although Tongguan was finally breached, Chen Zhi's performance was still obvious to all.

The son of a dignified prince, the powerful marquis of Kyoto, Chen Zhibi called other powerful children, and he still had some blood in his heart.

This is enough to make Su Qi'an look at him with admiration.

He remembered that after the Battle of Kyoto, Chen Zhi was also rewarded for his merits, and it stands to reason that now he should have lived a very prosperous life in Kyoto, how could he become a prisoner and be exiled to Jiaozhou.

finally met Su Qi'an, which really scared Su Qi'an.

Looking at Chen Dao, who recognized himself, his face was excited, and he wanted to say something, but because he was too excited, some words couldn't be said.

Su Qi'an hurriedly comforted him, and with a look of motion, he handed over the prisoners and homeless people detained here to Wu Yong and Song Biao, and he took Chen Zhi and turned around and left.

Su Qi'an can probably guess what Chen looks like now, but he is afraid that his family is in the middle of the road and what has happened.

It is estimated that some words are long, this is not a place to talk, there are many people, it is better to find a room, Su Qi'an and Chen Zhi have a good chat.

As Su Qi'an took the two prisoners away in a row, and it seemed that he had discovered their shining points, the soldiers escorted them very carefully.

This makes these homeless prisoners excited in their hearts, they are prisoners, they are guilty, even if they are not guilty, they are just outcasts, but they are also the most humble and low-level people with no identity in Daliang.

But this Hou Ye, instead of disliking them, was respectful to the so-called talents.

How did this not make everyone quite excited, at this time, Wu Yong exerted his level of eloquence and took advantage of the situation to say.

"You have all seen it, my lord has always been eager for talents, not only for talents, but also for skilled craftsmen from all walks of life."

"As long as you have the ability to contribute to the construction of Tucheng, you will be able to be erased by Lord Hou if you are charged with a crime and enter Tucheng."

"What are you waiting for such a great opportunity? If you miss it, you won't have a next time."

After saying this, all of a sudden, the group of prisoners and displaced people became excited, stood up one after another, and shouted.

"I... I, I'm a blacksmith from Zhongzhou, and I'm good at making all kinds of iron tools and farm tools, and it's no exaggeration to say that as long as I have enough materials, there is no tool I can't build."

"And me, I'm from the Northwest Frontier, and I'm good at raising horses, and all the horses that have passed through my hands are all good at fighting."

「……」

For a time, among this group of prisoners and homeless people, all of a sudden, characters from all walks of life popped up.

There are horse breeders, blacksmiths, carpenters, farmers, flood controllers, weavers...

It can be said that basically all walks of life are included, and watching the crowd actively show their skills.

Wu Yong nodded and asked Song Biao to take his soldiers and check them one by one.

Su Qi'an needs all kinds of skilled craftsmen, Wu Yong is the person who screens, and only after passing his level can he become a member of Tucheng.

And then after a long time

According to the contribution made by oneself, whether to transfer to the R&D department or not.

Among them, the purpose is to avoid people who fish in troubled waters or even make trouble.

Selecting suitable talents for the R&D department is one of the key tasks of Wu Yong.

As this group of homeless prisoners screened one by one, at this time, Su Qi'an, who took Chen Zhi to a quiet room.

The two began to talk, and through the conversation, Su Qi'an could basically know why Chen Zhi was in such a situation.

After Su Qi'an left Kyoto and returned to Xizhou, the nightmare of the Chen family began.

Chen Guogong, who was a first-class prince, was defenseless in the government the next day, and was directly impeached by Zheng and Zhao.

The reason for impeachment was also simple, in addition to the identity of Guogong at that time, Chen Guogong was the most important top military and political chief in charge of the security of Kyoto.

However, under his responsibility, instead of discovering the invading wolf cavalry, he almost caused the wolf cavalry to break through Kyoto.

Although Su Qi'an finally turned the tide and resolved the crisis in Kyoto, Chen Guogong's poor protection could not be shirked.

After the court dealt with Su Qi'an's affairs, Chen Guogong was directly impeached.

Chen Guogong, who was impeached, knew that he was wrong and accepted the punishment, but who knew that Zheng and Zhao, the two Guogongs, instead of stopping, intensified their efforts.

Wantonly impeachment, I don't know where to collect, about Chen Guogong in Kyoto for so many years, using his status as a first-class official, wantonly suppressing officials in various ministries.

Connived at the people in the government and maliciously acquired major stores in Kyoto, causing complaints from the people of Kyoto.

If it weren't for this sudden series of incriminating evidence, Su Xuanyong would have wanted to make a big deal small, and simply put the title from the first grade to the second grade.

The certifiable physical evidence is there, and this matter is in a uproar in Kyoto, and it is difficult for Su Xuanyong to press it down.

I had no choice but to hand over this matter to the second prince and the fourth prince for interrogation, and this interrogation lasted a month.

More and more criminal evidence has been involved, and it has even been found that Chen Guogong's mansion has hidden many military contraband.

As soon as this incident was exposed, everyone in Kyoto was in an uproar.

In the end, he was dismissed from the title of Duke of Chen Guo, and the mansion of Chen Guo was directly swept to the end, and he was demoted to a commoner, but he was relegated to Chen Guogong's hard work for many years.

Together with his family, he was left with one life, but the death penalty could be avoided, and the living crime could not be escaped, and the whole family was exiled to the state.

Kyoto is thousands of miles away from Jiaozhou, and the road is far away.

This journey can be described as quite hard, bandits robbery, illness, can be described as the norm.

Stopping and stopping all the way, when they came to Jiaozhou, less than one-third of the Chen family of thousands of people were still alive.

The rest of the people either died of illness in the middle of sleeping in the middle of the meal, or were intercepted and killed by bandits.

Among them, Chen Zhi's father, Chen Guogong.

On the way to exile Jiaozhou, I walked about 500 miles, perhaps because I couldn't accept this reality, or maybe I was depressed in my heart.

In the end, he was indignant and died of illness on the way.

And Chen Zhi and others, who arrived in Jiaozhou alive, also had a miserable life.

Exile in Jiaozhou is not a blessing, it is to serve as a servant, and there are more than 300 people left, Chen Zhi can contact them, and there are only a dozen people around him.

As for the others, they were all dispersed and assigned to serve in other places in Jiaozhou, Chen is still in such a miserable state, not to mention, the children of other families, I am afraid that there will be more than one luck.

Listening to Chen Zhi's narration, Su Qi'an also had a complicated look on his face.

The Chen family, which was originally famous in Kyoto, only fell in the blink of an eye.

The family has collapsed, and the power accumulated over the years has become a thing of the past, which can be described as a broken family.

A generation of powerful marquis Chen has fallen to the point where he is now, which can't help but make people feel embarrassed.

For the Chen family, Chen Guogong, Su Qi'an didn't have much good feelings, and in the impeachment in Kyoto, this Chen Guogong did not target Su Qi'an.

But for Chen Zhi of the Chen family, Su Qi'an is not so disgusted, no matter how it is said, they are comrades-in-arms who have been on the battlefield together twice.

Not to say that it is like a brother, but it is not a hate.

And now that the huge Chen family has been wiped out, and Chen Guogong has also died of illness, there is no need for Su Qi'an to get along with Chen Zhi's remnant family.

Chen Zhi's face was very calm when he talked about these things, and it seemed that the experience during this period of time had made him grow a lot.

This kind of ups and downs has not yet been crushed, and this Chen Zhi is indeed much stronger than those gentlemen in some aspects.

Su Qi'an patted Chen Zhi on the shoulder and said softly, "Chen Zhi, since you have come to Tucheng County, you will live here with peace of mind in the future, and as for the people of your lost family, I will also send someone to look for them."

Su Qi'an's words moved Chen Zhi very much, he didn't say a word, he actually pounced and knelt down directly in front of Su Qi'an.

"Chen Dao, what are you doing here?"

Su Qi'an wanted to help, but Chen Zhi refused to get up, he said seriously.

"Mr. Su, this kneeling is Chen Zhi on behalf of the family members to express his gratitude to Mr. for his great kindness."

"The Chen family has been standing in Kyoto for many years and has many friends, but after the Chen family had an accident, no one was willing to lend a hand, and they hid as far as they could, for fear of bad luck."

"I've seen through this kind of hot and cold world, but Mr. Su, you, are so righteous and helpful, it's ashamed to say that your father dealt with you like that when he was alive, he impeached you.

"I have tried to persuade my father many times to no avail, but I didn't expect that the Chen family would still help my husband regardless of his previous suspicions in the most difficult time, which made me feel quite guilty."

"Mr. is very gracious, Chen Zhi is unforgettable, I have nothing to repay Mr. now, but Chen Zhi swears, as long as Mr. can use me, just speak."

"Even if you go up the knife mountain and go down to the sea of fire, Chen Zhi will not hesitate to do it."

Chen Zhi's words were very sincere, and his head was heavily kowtowed on the ground a few times, and when Su Qi'an helped him up.

His eyes were visibly red.

What is charcoal in the snow, today Chen Zhi really understood, and he regretted it very much in his heart.

If he had known that there would be this day, he would have persuaded his father to help Su Qi'an.

It's a pity that there is no regret medicine in this world, and what Chen can do so far is to obey Su Qi'an's orders.

Even if Su Qi'an asked him to commit suicide on the spot now, he would definitely not be ambiguous.

With Su Qi'an's promise to him, Chen died without regrets.
