In the afternoon, the two brothers of the Zhang family in Anyang Pavilion made a special trip to Beiguo Pavilion and visited Zu Zhao.

The Zhang brothers had already heard about what happened to their ancestors yesterday, and with such a big event, they naturally couldn't stand idly by.

After a period of communication, Zhang Yuan and Zhang Yu both admired Zu Zhao. Now that he and Zu Zhao are working together on the Xihe Bridge to prepare for theft, they should be regarded as their own people. Because of this, they inevitably came to help. Of course, they also know that it is more than enough to deal with this matter with the power of the ancestral family, but what should be done in the passing of human favor must be done.

Zu Zhao met with the two brothers of the Zhang family in the side hall. Refreshments are served and greetings are over.

Since he decided to invite the two brothers of the Zhang family to participate in the drill activities at Xihe Bridge together, it goes without saying that he hopes to use the power of the Zhang family or at least Zhang Yuan and Zhang Yu in the future. This horse robbery is a good opportunity, whether or not the Taiping Daoists are responsible for it, as long as everything is done properly, it can be an excuse for preemptive strike.

Therefore, at this time, it will only be beneficial and harmless to further draw together the relationship between the two brothers of the Zhang family.

"I have not had such a big case in Xu Wu and Lingzhi counties for many years, which is really outrageous."

"Don't worry, my grandfather, if there is anything we can contribute, even if I am instructed, I will never shirk."

"The two of them are attentive, Zu Zhao remembers it in his heart. I have to say that this incident is really appalling. In the past ten days, we have gathered at Xihe Bridge to practice, not just to guard against thieves in winter this year. I didn't expect thieves to run rampant so much. In these few days, the whole village is trying their best to track down the whereabouts of the thieves, and as soon as there is news, they will make these thieves pay for their blood debts. Zu Zhao said in a positive voice.

"Hateful thief, it's really not enough to deter people if you don't give some color." Zhang Yu said in agreement.

"Speaking of Lingzhi County, my brother and I also had some acquaintances when I arrived. In addition, it seems that Han Yigong and Han Zhuangshi are also Lingzhi people. In the next few days, brother, I will make arrangements to assist the ancestor to inquire about the news from Lingzhi County. Zhang Yuan looked serious, but his tone of voice was also very serious, as if he wanted to do what he said.

"With the help of Brother Wenyi, I will be able to get twice the result with half the effort. Thank you in advance. Zu Zhao said politely. He believed Zhang Yuan's words very much, after all, Zhang Yuan was a ranger and had a wide range of friends, and if he could contact some rangers in Lingzhi County through the other party, it would definitely be much more convenient to inquire about the news.

After that, Zu Zhao took the initiative to mention the practice of the Xihe Bridge. Even though the ancestral family has no time to get out for the time being, the Zhang brothers and the rangers of Anyang Pavilion can continue to practice Xi if they have leisure on weekdays. Even if it's just running two laps at random, practicing Xi riding and archery, or even just getting together at a regular time every day, it's better than nothing.

Hearing Zu Zhao's words, Zhang Yuan felt quite emotional in his heart. He had guessed earlier that Zu Zhao was definitely not a thing in the pool, and everything he did must have long-term considerations. Such a major accident happened in the ancestral family, but Zu Zhao still remembered to insist on drilling, which shows that his real purpose is not simply to practice.

"Zu Gongzi's words, Zhang must have taken it to heart. Fortunately, Xihe Bridge is not far from the county seat, if there is any dispatch from Zu Gongzi's side, he only needs to send someone to Xihe Bridge to find me and wait, and we can come over faster. "

Hehe, Brother Wenyi is so heartfelt, I am grateful."

"It's not too early, then I'll say goodbye to Ah in advance. It's better to go back and send someone to Lingzhi County as soon as possible.

"Then there will be work." Zu Zhao did not stay long, and there was no etiquette Xi of leaving people for dinner in this era.

After sending off the two brothers Zhang Yuan and Zhang Pre, the sunset was already in the west.

Zu Zhao went to the horse farm to prepare the horses, and in less than half a moment, Zu Zhan walked to the backyard quickly.

Looking for Zu Zhao, Zu Zhan hurriedly said: "Eldest son, the county lieutenant Wen is here, saying that he wants to see you."

Zu Zhao wiped his hands and asked, "Oh, but there are clues from the county government?"

Zu Zhan shook his head and said, "Not really. The county lieutenant Wen came on behalf of Chen Xianjun and said that it was about the county inspection of this year. Although

it is a good thing to inspect the examination, Zu Zhao is not the slightest happy now, not only that, but he feels that Chen Xianjun really has ulterior motives for mentioning this matter at this time. I have long expected that Chen Xianjun is by no means a person who does practical things, and everything he does is perfunctory, presumably he is still unwilling to be involved in the horse robbery case outside the county border, but he does not want to offend the ancestral family, so he chose to arrange an inspection and assessment at this time, on the one hand, he can flatter the ancestral family, and on the other hand, he can also divert his attention to some extent.

His eyebrows frowned slightly, and he said with a little heaviness: "Lord County Jun is really good at doing things."

Zu Zhan didn't understand Zu Zhao's words, but he didn't want to ask anything.

followed Zu Zhao out of the racecourse and turned to the front hall. On the way, Zu Zhan told Zu Zhao that the old man did not go to meet Wentai. Hearing this, a thought flashed in Zu Zhao's heart, his grandfather was definitely not a fool, and naturally he could guess that Chen Xianjun was attentive, and not going to meet Wentai could be regarded as a statement.

Coming to the front hall, Wentai was using tea.

Zu Zhao and Zu Zhan stepped forward to greet him, Wentai's face was not very good, and he responded indifferently.

After taking a seat, Zu Zhao said without changing his face: "With Lord Lao Wen coming here this time, Lord Chen is really hard, and he has to take care of the inspection in his busy schedule.

Wentai put down the tea bowl and said in a rough voice: "Who said it wasn't." The county has to be busy cracking the horse robbery case, preparing for theft in the winter this year, and sorting out the reclamation work for the spring of next year. The county lord is not in a hurry, everything seems to be in the palm of his hand. In short, we subordinates can't guess his thoughts.

At the beginning, seeing Wentai's bad face, Zu Zhao thought that the other party was blaming the Zu family for not having elders to greet him, but he only called a few teenagers to entertain guests, which was really undignified. And the first half of Wentai's words just now was frustrated, obviously complaining about the matter, who knew that when the conversation changed, it suddenly changed to ridiculing Chen Xianjun. This series of ups and downs really made Zu Zhao and Zu Zhan a little incomprehensible.

In terms of official age, Wentai is more senior than Chen Xianjun, but it is a pity that his background in military costume is not welcomed. Wentai has been in Xu Wuxian for almost five years, and Chen Xianjun was only appointed last year, and his popularity and prestige in the county are more or less incomparable.

Zu Zhao and Zu Zhan looked at each other and did not answer Wentai's words.

Wen Tai sighed, wrinkled his brows and said, "There are a lot of chaos in the county, and I don't know if I can be safe and stable this year." The eldest prince and the eldest prince are both blessed people, and I am afraid that they will not know the complaints outside.

Zu Zhao secretly smiled bitterly: I didn't come to inform the inspection on my behalf, why is he so full of complaints today!

Although Zu Zhan was also embarrassed, he still followed Wen Tai's words and said: "What Master Wen said made the juniors really uncomfortable. In this world of peace, how can my generation turn a blind eye? It's just that even so, the younger generations are useless, and the only thing they can do is their duty.

Wen Tai suddenly laughed, and glanced at Zu Zhao with deep meaning. He said rudely: "I'm just joking." Chen Xianjun asked me to make a special trip to inform my grandfather that on the third day of the next lunar month, the county will hold a year's inspection, and the eldest prince only needs to go through the motions, and there is nothing to worry about.

Zu Zhao smiled and said: "Lord Chen is very loving, and the younger generation is grateful."

Wen Tai put his hands on the chair and made a gesture to get up, he said, "That's it, there is nothing else to do today." Later, I will meet with the county's Sifu and Zu Youjiao to see if there are new clues in the investigation of the horse robbery case.

Zu Zhao nodded slowly, at the moment, the whole county is only afraid that they are staring at the "horse robbery case", and it is rare that there are still Wentai in the county government who are willing to do some facts. He said very solemnly: "In this way, there must really be Master Lauwen."

Wentai's face was expressionless, as if he was knowingly asking, and he seemed to pretend not to know, and said, "What do you have to do?"

Zu Zhao's face changed slightly, and then he laughed, and said: "Since Lord Lao Wen has taken such pains to track down the horse robbery case, he will give justice to my ancestral family."

Wen Tai sneered: "Even if it weren't for General Zu, I, Wen Tai, would definitely not be sloppy within my duties."

Zu Zhao knew that Wentai deliberately didn't give himself a good face, but he didn't have anything unpleasant, maintained a gentle face, said a few words of promise, and then sent Wentai away.

When returning to the inner courtyard with Zu Zhan, Zu Zhan said worriedly: "This county lieutenant has always been a strange person, going straight to the point, and no one will give face. But these days, I've become more and more tempered. Alas, I always feel that this year's winter will not be peaceful.

Zu Zhao glanced at Zu Zhan, although his cousin looked like a scholar and a weak scholar, he was somewhat a capable person, and it could be seen from what he said just now that he also had some insight. He remained silent and said, "I'm afraid that there are already many people in the world who covet this is not peaceful."

Zu Zhan straightened it up, puzzled: "Eldest prince, this..."Zu

Zhao interrupted: "Say it casually, there is no other meaning." "
