Chapter Seventy-Eight: Zhang Yuan
The man who was controlled by the soldiers broke free violently, and he suddenly rushed in front of Gu Qingzhang, as if he was going to die with him.
Gu Qingzhang reacted immediately, he quickly flashed and grabbed him with his backhand.
"It's not good," after the man was caught by him, Gu Qingzhang quickly realized that something was wrong, "He wants to bite his tongue and kill himself!" β
He quickly stretched out his left hand to jam the man's mouth, and instructed the soldiers on the side: "Go find a rope and tie his hands and feet." β
After the man was completely tied up and confirmed that there was no possibility of getting rid of it, Gu Qingzhang let go of one of his hands.
He said coldly: "Brush up his hair, and then wipe the dust off his face with a handkerchief, and see who it is." β
After the soldiers did everything, Gu Qingzhang saw this face clearly.
The man has been trying to resist during this period, and others may not be able to understand it, but Gu Qingzhang keenly noticed that he seemed to want to hit the blade of his own soldier and try to beg for death.
"Put away all the knives," he said, and the more he looked at the face in front of him, the more familiar it became, "...... Have I seen you somewhere? β
Hearing this, the other party's originally closed eyes suddenly opened, and he looked at Gu Qingzhang and barely squeezed out a smile.
"It turned out to be Ning Anhou," he spoke with great difficulty, and seemed to jump out word by word, "Down is Zhang Yuan, the iron official of Tengzhou, Jingdong Road." β
Gu Qingzhang furrowed his eyebrows suspiciously, and his hand still did not loosen the grip on him: "The iron official of Jingdong Road? This year, have I seen you in the capital? β
Zhang Yuan nodded with difficulty, and he squeezed out a flattering smile.
"Master Hou," he said, "just now, the official didn't recognize you, thinking it was just another group of bandits." β
Gu Qingzhang let go of the hand that was pinching him and asked, "I don't know where Master Zhang's official office is?" β
"Master Hou is so tied up," Zhang Yuan looked up and down, and smiled bitterly, "I can't get it myself." This little brother, please help me get it. β
The soldiers searched his chest as he said, and indeed found an official certificate.
Gu Qingzhang opened the official mask and found that the appearance and name on it could be matched one by one, and then looking at the official style, it was not a disguise.
When he was inspecting the official, Zhang Yuan had been observing his actions, and seeing Gu Qingzhang loosen his frowning brows, he no longer seemed to doubt his identity, and couldn't help but raise a slight contemptuous smile at the corner of his mouth.
It's just the next secondβ
"Tie him up and stuff his mouth with a cloth ball," Gu Qingzhang coldly ordered his soldiers, "Let people watch him and don't allow him to commit suicide." β
Zhang Yuan's eyes widened in disbelief, and he wanted to quibble again, but he was blocked by the cloth in his mouth and couldn't speak, so he could only let out a "whine" sound unwillingly.
The flaws on his body are too obvious, and Gu Qingzhang doesn't need to distinguish them too much.
It's just that Zhang Yuan's official is true, but it surprised him a little, he originally thought that the other party was just an impostor, but he didn't expect that he was really a court official, and he was also in an important position and in charge of iron mines.
I'm afraid there's a lot going on here.
Gu Qingzhang said: "Hold it first, and I'll ask you when you go back." β

The matter has been almost settled, and now the people who followed Gan Cheng to rebel have not been counted.
These people are poor people, there are street gangsters, in general, the crowd is mixed, it is difficult to deal with, Gu Qingzhang knows that these people must not be wiped out, otherwise it will be difficult to do it in the future.
He pondered for a moment and said, "Kill the few small leaders led by you, and the rest of the ordinary soldiers will all disarm, follow us, and then register after arriving in Lingzhou City." β
At present, he has indeed solved the problem of the rebel army, but if the problem of food, food and clothing for the people is not solved in the future, then there will be two or three uprisings soon.
The prefect of Lingzhou had already been killed by Gan Cheng, and Gan Cheng died at the hands of Gu Qingzhang, so they almost entered Lingzhou City, where the door was wide open, almost smoothly.
It's just that the people of Lingzhou have long been dead.
When Gu Qingzhang entered the city, there was hardly any shadow of the people on both sides of the road, and the young man was either killed, or he was dragged to the army and died on the way to the army.
In the entire Lingzhou City, there may only be some old and weak women and children left.
Gu Qingzhang led people all the way to the Zhizhou Mansion, which had been occupied by Gan Cheng and his family, and as soon as Gu Qingzhang walked to the front of the mansion, there was a bunch of warblers and warblers to greet him at the door.
When he walked into the courtyard, his whole face suddenly became gloomy.
"You say," he asked Gua Er beside him through gritted teeth, "Is it too late for me to dig up the grave and pull out Gan Cheng's corpse and whip it?" β
Gua Er's eyes widened in shock at the scene in front of him, and muttered, "It's a mother's ......."
Without him, it was only because Gan Cheng not only built the entire mansion magnificently in this short period of time, but also stuffed it with all kinds of women and prostitutes.
Looking around, I am afraid that the women of the entire Lingzhou City are here, Gu Qingzhang estimates that there are more than that, maybe some of them were looted along the way.
"Obedient," Gua Erha said, in front of a group of delicate girls, his eyes didn't even know where to put it, "I can't find my mother-in-law anymore, where is the reason, Hou Ye." β
Gu Qingzhang jumped.
He looked around briefly, and among the many anxious women, he chose the one with the calmest expression, and he beckoned the other party to come over.
"You are all from Lingzhou?" The aroma of the other party's walking room made him frown slightly, and he took a few steps back without a trace, "Or is it anywhere?" β
The girl who was called over was outstanding and tall, and she replied with low eyebrows: "Lord Qiyu, the slave family is a native of Lingzhou. β
"As for the rest of the sisters, some are from Tengzhou and some are from Jiaoao...... But they are all Jingdong Road people. β
Gu Qingzhang nodded, his heart was clear, and he asked in a gentle tone: "Gan Cheng has been ambushed by the traitor, do you want to go home?" If you want to return home, I will send you back. β
When it came to returning home, the prostitute was fine, and the rest of the women hugged each other and began to cry.
The woman who replied looked slightly sad, she smiled reluctantly, and said, "My lord is joking, like us, we are just dead ears when we get home." β
Gu Qingzhang thought of the harsh criticism of the woman by the etiquette, and couldn't help but sigh slightly in his heart.
Just when he was distressed, Gua Er on the side suddenly jumped out and said happily: "What kind of broken flowers and willows, girl, don't talk nonsense, an old bachelor like us, there is not even a mother-in-law." β
Gu Qingzhang's expression moved.
"There are also many soldiers under my command who have never been married," he thought for a moment and said thoughtfully, "It's just that they are from Gusu Mansion, if you are willing to leave your hometown, you might as well go and see each other." β
