In the early morning of the second year, Zhang Yun resisted with his hand, the sunlight that shot at his face, rubbed his head with his hand, and said with a little pain, and said to himself: "Sure enough, I still can't drink too much!" ”

Zhang Yun sat up and thought about how to appease the families of those soldiers who died in battle.

Although he said that he would give them a large sum of money, but can money buy the lives of his relatives? Not really.

Zhang Yun rubbed his head vigorously, sighed, and said to himself helplessly: "Forget it, let's take one step at a time, if you really run into your family and lose control, with Zhao Hu by your side, it should be considered safe." ”

As soon as he thought of this, Zhang Yun began to stand up, quickly got dressed, and then quickly washed up and came to the outside of the barracks.

Zhao Hu and Chen Rui had already waited there with Zhang Yun's personal soldiers, and after everyone saw Zhang Yun coming, they hurriedly saluted.

Zhang Yun smiled lightly, nodded in response, then waved his hand and walked in the direction of the market.

Zhao Hu asked with a puzzled face: "My lord, aren't we going to Chen Rui's village today?" Why go to the bazaar? ”

Zhang Yun patted Zhao Hu's head and scolded with a smile: "You go to someone else's house, go empty-handed" caused everyone to laugh.

Zhang Yun went to the market for a turn, because the grain Zhang Yun brought back stabilized the price, and the three major families were raided, so the market in Dengzhou City was barely recovered, but there were not many types, and he bought two pork and a cart of cabbage......

Zhang Yun asked Zhao Hu to find a few carts, and then followed Chen Rui and went straight to Chenjia Village on the outskirts of Dengzhou.

This is a small mountain village outside Dengzhou City, with a permanent population of less than 1,000 people, surrounded by mountains and rivers, but the scene at this time is a little ugly, just in autumn, the leaves have already been swept away by the villagers, and the whole village looks a little dead and silent.

After Zhang Yun walked to the entrance of the village, he immediately became lively, and the chief learned that Zhang Yun was coming today, so he brought people early to welcome him at the entrance of the village.

Zhang Yun looked at these people who came to welcome them, old and young, all wearing shabby clothes, their faces were dirty, but their eyes were full of light and hope.

The first man was about forty-five or sixteen years old, and he was extremely strong, and he looked like he had been a soldier.

Before he came, Chen Rui introduced him to his third uncle, Chen Wu, who was the chief of the village.

Zhang Yun shook hands with him with a smile, and then said with a smile: "You guys are so troublesome, I'm embarrassed, I knew this, I came in quietly." Hahaha......"

When the man heard this, he smiled and waved his hand, and said solemnly: "If it weren't for the adults you took our people out to fish, we would have starved to death, and you are our reborn parents!" After speaking, he was about to kneel down towards Zhang Yun.

Seeing this, Zhang Yun hurriedly helped him up, and said in a loud voice: "Uncle, you are serious, I went out to bring more than 1,000 soldiers from Dengzhou this time, but only more than 800 people came back, I am ashamed." ”

When the man heard this, a trace of sadness flashed in his eyes, and then it was fleeting.

He sighed and said open-mindedly: "It's all fate, they didn't hold on, it's all because their lives are not hard enough, and it has nothing to do with adults." ”

Zhang Yun didn't know how to answer, so he had to look at Chen Rui.

Seeing this, Chen Rui barely squeezed out a smile on his usually cold face, and said with a smile: "Oh, third uncle, what are you talking about here pulling Lord Zhang, hurry up and let Lord Zhang come into my house." ”

When Chen Wu heard this, he also patted his head, and said embarrassedly: "Oh, it's all my fault, I'm chatting with Master Zhang, hurry up, go to my house." ”

Zhang Yun waved his hand, indicating that he had said that he was going to Chen Rui's house, and Chen Wu had to follow Zhang Yun to Chen Rui's house.

After passing a few paths, I came to the other end of the village, which was Chen Rui's home, and I saw that the door was a little broken, and there were some small vegetables in front of the door, as well as garlic seedlings.

Chen Rui pushed them away and shouted inside: "Sister-in-law, Huzi, come out, Master Zhang has come to see you." ”

Then, I saw a handsome young woman, holding a waist-high child, and walked out.

It was Chen Long's wife, Zhao Lan, and his son Chen Hu, as soon as Chen Hu saw his uncle coming back, he immediately broke free of his mother's hand, screamed and ran in front of Chen Rui, Chen Rui smiled and lifted him high.

Zhao Lan smiled politely and said with some sadness: "Master Zhang, third uncle, sit down, I'll go get you something to drink." The corners of her eyes were red, and she had obviously just cried.

When Zhang Yun saw his appearance, his heart couldn't help but tighten, and he said secretly: "Sure enough, money is not everything. ”

Chen Wu saw that Zhao Lan ignored Zhang Yunai's answer, for fear that Zhang Yun would be angry, so he hurriedly explained to Zhang Yun: "This Chen Long's daughter-in-law is not sensible, I will accompany you for her." ”

Zhang Yun waved his hand and said with some guilt: "I caused him to kill his husband, and people threw their faces at me, I deserve it, it's okay, I can accept it." ”

After hearing this, Chen Wu breathed a sigh of relief, and then boasted to Zhang Yun, what kind of Zhang is magnificent, has energy, and so on.

Zhang Yun was also a little tired of hearing this kind of words, and stopped him with a wave of his hand.

Then, Zhang Yun waved to the people behind him, and then a soldier walked in with the gifts that Zhang Yun bought.

Zhang Yun said to Chen Wu with a smile: "Uncle, today we will take the whole village to have a good meal, you go to find a few villagers with better skills, and they will be in the middle of the village tonight." ”

When Chen Wu heard this, his face was full of smiles, he nodded quickly, and then quickly ran out of the yard to call someone to start cooking.

Zhang Yun called Zhao Hu and asked him to take the child out to play, while he stayed in the courtyard with Chen Rui, wanting to comfort Zhao Lan.

After Chen Rui saw everyone leaving, he walked in front of Zhao Lan, knelt on the ground with a plop, and cried: "Sister-in-law, it's all my fault, if I wasn't weak, my brother wouldn't have been the first to go to sea, it's all my fault!" I'm not human, I'm not human......" After speaking, he kept slapping his cheek with his hand.

Zhao Lan hurriedly grabbed him, held back her tears, and whimpered: "Sister-in-law doesn't blame you, I really don't blame you......"

Chen Rui heard this, and broke out again, and the two hugged each other and cried.

This may be the last softness in Chen Rui's heart, you must know that before, he was stabbed four times by Han Meng, and he didn't shed tears, and he didn't say anything in the face of death, but now he cried like a child.

Chen Rui's parents died when he was less than 10 years old, when Chen Long was only 18 years old and had just married Zhao Lan.

Therefore, Zhao Lan and Chen Long are like his parents, now that Chen Long is dead, how can Chen Rui not be sad.

After a long time, the sound of crying gradually decreased, Zhao Lan looked at Zhang Yun in the distance, felt a little out of shape, her face was slightly red, and she said embarrassedly: "Let Master Zhang see and laugh." ”

Zhang Yun smiled and waved his hand, and said softly: "Beasts still have feelings, let alone people, human nature." ”

After Chen Rui's true feelings were revealed, he returned to the previous iceberg mode, and Zhang Yun was speechless for a while.

Zhang Yun had no choice but to change the topic to Zhao Lan, and said with a smile: "Chen Rui is now my personal commander, don't worry, he will definitely be able to take care of you two, I also gave him 500 taels of gold before, which is enough for your family to be prosperous and rich." ”

Zhao Lan naturally knew about the five hundred taels of gold, and after listening to Zhang Yun's words, she shook her head and said with a smile: "My lord, we are an ordinary ordinary people's family, we don't need so much, didn't you give my husband a pension?" I'll ask Rui to give you back the gold, and you can use it to compensate for the dead and disabled. ”

After Zhang Yun heard this, he looked at Zhao Lan again, this woman is also a small jasper, I didn't expect to be so generous, it was five hundred taels of gold and said no, don't want it?

Zhang Yun waved his hand and said with a tough attitude: "That is Chen Rui's first achievement, how can I take it back?" Besides, even if you don't want to, your son Huzi will have to spend money to go to school in the future, and it will cost money to buy a house, and it will cost money to marry a daughter-in-law......"

After Zhao Lan heard this, her face became a little solemn, she didn't expect so much.

Seeing her hesitating, Zhang Yun secretly smiled: "Sure enough, the child is the mother's biggest weakness." ”

"In the future, your son will be a jinshi in the imperial examination, and he will be a big official, how can he nest in this small mountain village? I'm going to ask Chen Rui to take you back to the capital together, it's good or convenient to have a teacher anywhere, you just need this money! ”

After Zhao Lan heard this, she cast an inquiring glance at Chen Rui, and Chen Rui nodded at him.

Zhao Lan had to nod, and then said: "But five hundred taels of gold is too much, let's keep half of it, and keep the remaining half to care for other people." ”

Zhang Yun explained to her frantically, saying that the gold was not a pension, but a bounty, and Zhao Lan never let go, Zhang Yun couldn't resist her, so he had to agree to her request.

"Later, from other places, make up for his son." Zhang Yun sighed inwardly.

Then, Zhang Yun went to other people's homes and continued to comfort the living.

After having gold, Zhang Yun's pension work was done smoothly.

Even some people wanted Zhang Yun to cut him down immediately, and then count him dead, which made Zhang Yun speechless for a while.

As night fell, the whole village was filled with the aroma of pork, and the villagers began to chatter in the middle of the village.

"I heard that this time Lord Zhang came to pay for the pension, not only did he have the original silver, but each family could also share one or two gold?"

"I heard that it was the first merit of the second child of the Chen family to kill pirates, and Lord Zhang rewarded it, and they took out subsidies for us poor people."

"Then the second child of the Chen family, I heard that now he is the commander of the Qin soldiers with Master Zhang, and his future is indispensable."

"I want to introduce my daughter to him."

......

After taking care of the last family in Chenjia Village, Zhang Yun came to the center of the village.

Seeing that Chen Wu was already waiting there, he waited for Zhang Yun to come and start the banquet, after Chen Wu saw Zhang Yun coming, he immediately ran over and said respectfully: "Master Zhang, you are all ready, you can start the banquet at any time." ”

Zhang Yun nodded, and Chen Wu yelled towards the kitchen behind, "Open the table!" ”

Then, many young men began to carry plates, shuttled around the feast, and began to serve dishes, and each dish was quickly swept away.

After all, they had just experienced a famine, and they were all hungry and afraid, so how could they not eat more at this time.

Zhang Yun looked at everyone's eating appearance, raised the bowl, and shouted to everyone: "I, Zhang Yun, am incompetent, resulting in the death of your father, brother, and husband in battle, and I, Zhang Yun, have made amends to you." Then, he raised his wine and drank it down.

Chen Wu then stood up and said with a majestic face: "Lord Zhang's move is interesting enough, your man, if you die on the battlefield, is it not easy to understand?" If any of you dare to be verbose in the future, don't blame me for turning my face. ”

After hearing this, the villagers also nodded, saying that they would never bother Zhang Yun again in the future.

There were no superfluous words throughout the banquet, only the sound of people constantly bowing their heads and cooking.

Zhang Yun didn't eat much before he felt full, if it was late today, Zhang Yun felt that he couldn't go back tonight, so he asked Chen Wu to find a place for these brothers to live.

Chen Wu patted his chest and said confidently: "Master Zhang, this matter is on me." ”

After the dinner party dispersed, Chen Rui returned to his home.

Zhang Yun and Zhao Hu and others followed Chen Wu to his home, his family is worthy of being the richest man in the village, it is more than enough for Zhang Yun to live in these dozens of people, Zhang Yun and Chen Wu exchanged pleasantries for a while, Chen Wu said goodbye and left, Zhang Yun immediately lay on the bed and fell asleep.

"I hope Han Cheng's pacification work will also go well."

Han Cheng didn't follow Zhang Yun, and Zhang Yun asked him to be responsible for appeasing the others, which could be regarded as making up for his mistakes.

"Today is finally the first level, and the next thing is to deal with the two troubles in the prison."
