Northern Song Dynasty: It’s a showdown, who said I, Zhao Zhen, don’t have a son?

Chapter 130 Qingmuzhai

After leaving the state capital, Zhao He felt relieved, and Zhou Fei was waiting outside the door.

"Young Master, it's really a great honor for me to be treated to a meal by Envoy Han!"

As soon as he said this, Zhao He immediately became furious: "Why don't you come in with me? I was so panicked just now. At least give me some sense of security!"

Zhou Fei waved his hand: "It's you who I invited, not me. Besides, having face-to-face communication with a big shot like this is also a kind of exercise!"

"I don't want to keep exercising like this."

Zhao He murmured, and Zhou Fei then said: "The inn has been found. It was recommended by the officers and soldiers just now. I went to see it and it's not bad."

Zhao He nodded: "Envoy Han Anping also introduced me to a few people in the flower business. Let's go visit them in two days. Let's get familiar with the local flowers in these two days."

There are many kinds of local flowers. As for what to choose and what kind of effect it will produce, you have to carefully select it. Of course, it also takes time to understand and ponder the local market.

The two immediately rushed to the inn and rested for the night.

The next morning, I started to visit the local morning market and tried my best to find out the local price level.

Qinzhou was originally a popular place for exiled officials, and there were definitely a lot of scum, but there were many capable officials above the court who were demoted here. After arriving here, they began to develop local industries and benefit the people as much as possible.

Liu Tong was one of them. This man had an excellent reputation in the local area. Countless people praised him for his great strategy. He should not be demoted in a place like this.

Presumably, at the end of his three-year term, the Ten Thousand People's Umbrella and the common people's farewell are essential, but where the court will dispatch him is another matter.

He saw Liu Tong at the wonton stall in the morning market.

This man was wearing an official robe, but he was not feared by the people. The people would even take the initiative to talk to Liu Tong, and Liu Tong would smile and nod in response.

Damn it, the Song Dynasty actually had such good officials?

Zhao He was surprised for a moment, then Liu Tong cast his eyes over, seeming to have some impression of Zhao He.

"Young man, I look familiar. Have we met somewhere?"

Zhao He complained about this poem, then handed it over and said: "Yesterday in the state capital, the boy and the magistrate met."

Liu Tong nodded, but said nothing more.

After eating, I left quickly.

Zhao He was a little confused.

After all, the look in his eyes last night seemed to be very disgusting to him, and of course it was just because he had a big quarrel with Han Qi.

Han Qi was demoted to this position last year, and his reputation in the local area was very high. When the people of Qinzhou heard that Han Qi had been demoted to this position, they took to the streets to see him off on the day he took office.

Han Qi played a vital role in the entire Song Dynasty. You may not have heard of the names of those literati, but you must have heard of Han Qi. They were the ones who truly fought bloody battles for the Song Dynasty.

The Lingnan generation is different from other places. There is a phenomenon of redundant soldiers and officials. All local officials have been demoted. The local army has to serve as soldiers because they cannot afford to eat. It is not like other places where there are more Xiang troops than regular troops. So much so that military spending is huge.

In a second-level administrative region, the total number of officers and soldiers in the entire region is only 1...

After Han Qi took office, he reformed the military system without saying a word and immediately started training troops. This was considered a habit of a veteran on the battlefield, and he couldn't see the local officers and soldiers acting like this.

In half a year, the strength of the army has more than doubled, and several groups of bandits who dared to clamor against the government have been defeated.

It is conceivable that Han Qi's ability is definitely the top warrior of the Song Dynasty.

Zhou Fei chuckled at the side: "No matter where the young man goes, he is always so eye-catching!"

Zhao He curled his lips and said nothing. He didn't want to be noticed by these people. It would be better to be noticed by Lu Zhi. He could teach himself some martial arts and become a peerless master...

Keep busy, for my perfume business, for my spice empire!

Fifty miles away from Qinzhou City, in Qingmuzhai, a certain decent-looking heroine who had been left on the road finally arrived home.Looking at the familiar village, Lu Zhi's eyes did not show joy, but he was thinking about how to explain to everyone in the village.

The people in the village soon discovered Lu Zhi, with expressions of surprise on their faces.

"Master, you are finally back. Where are Wang Yong and the others? Are they still outside?"

"Master, where is my man?"

"When the master comes back, he must have succeeded in killing those Japanese people. Hurry up and have a drink to celebrate!"

At this moment, almost everyone in the village had gathered around.

"All dead."

Everyone was in an uproar immediately. The woman who originally had a look of joy on her face was stunned for a moment, and then laughed twice: "Lu Zhi, please stop making fun of us. They must still be outside now, right?"

"Haha, she just came back. This makes us all happy, don't you think so?"

The crowd fell into a deathly silence, but the woman still had a smile on her face. She kept asking everyone questions, tears rolled down her face, and then she rushed towards Lu Zhi as if she was crazy.

"Why are they all dead? Why are they all dead? You are the best in martial arts. Why don't you save them? Lu Zhi, speak up!"

Lu Zhi was expressionless and did not give any explanation.

In their line of work, they live with their heads in their belts and lose their wealth and life at the drop of a hat. There is nothing they can do about it.

But the woman seemed unable to accept the reality, and still tore Lu Zhi's clothes and hair randomly. She still did not calm down after being pulled away by others.

"Quiet!"

An old man appeared, his voice was a little weak, he was obviously old.

Lu Zhi raised his hands to the old man and said, "Master."

Fang Houren frowned and asked, "Lu Zhi, how are things going when we go to Bianjing?"

Lu Zhi then said: "Kill 18 Japanese envoys and one dog officer in the court. Except for me, all of them died in Bianjing."

The old man's body suddenly trembled, and then his voice trembled: "It's not that there are people over there in Bianjing, those people..."

"All dead."

The people present were in an uproar, and discussions arose. The woman's eyes suddenly turned red and said: "They are so skilled in martial arts, how could they die so easily? You are talking nonsense, you are talking nonsense!"

Lu Zhi shook his head: "The strength of Kaifeng Mansion is too strong. After we killed those assassins, we could have retreated, but we were stopped by the dog officers of Kaifeng Mansion. The man who killed Brother Jiang Feng was named Cao Lang, and he was the strongest. "

The old man took a few steps back suddenly and almost lost his balance: "How could it be possible? There was obviously a plan by people from Bianjing. How could so many people die? They could all come back..."

Lu Zhi stepped forward to support the old man and said calmly: "Master, we have tried our best to avenge ourselves. We should not send people to die in the future. There are too many people in Bianjing. As long as the imperial court has contact with the Japanese country, we will not be able to kill them." Finished."

"There is no need for us to die. If I hadn't been helped by someone, it would have been difficult for me to come back."

The old man looked at Lu Zhi, his eyes were cloudy and his expression was complicated.

"Those Japanese people killed so many of us, how could they just let go..."

"But we shouldn't die for this anymore."

Looking at Lu Zhi, who seemed a bit unfamiliar, Fang Houren was silent for a long time.

"Go and rest first. I'll settle things in the village. You've been running around for so long..."
