When I got home, it was past twelve o'clock, which meant that the light and seven years had arrived.

Zhang He never thought that he would use this method to celebrate the New Year.

Arrangements were made for three nursing homes to stay, and Zhang Jia was ordered to prepare more meals for three people in the future, and then went back to the room to rest.

The Painted Dragon Holding Heavenly Halberd was put back into the money cellar, even though it was not used tonight. It was just placed in Zhang Fei's hand, and with his momentum, the servants of the Zhao family did not dare to move.

It would be better to say that the original purpose of weapons is to intimidate. Only when deterrence fails, blood will be drawn.

On the first day of the new year, Zhang He went to see Zhang Lu as usual. I don't know if it was an illusion, but her attitude became better again.

"My mother was very happy when she heard that we had defeated the Zhao family." When leaving, Zhang Fei revealed the secret.

The Zhao family is indeed unkind, but the outsiders are still so domineering, and the Zhang family's iron shop was squeezed out by them.

But the Zhao family may not give up. Sooner or later, meat and wine will take aim. Zhang Lu has had a headache for a long time.

"Gongsun Bogui interrogated the five people overnight and got a lot of evidence. The Zhao family will soon be in trouble!" Shao Bue talked about the gossip he had received.

"Brother, the Zhao family will not be unlucky, at least not very unlucky." Zhang He shook his head, "If you can receive the news, how could the Zhao family not receive the news? Naturally, they will strengthen their response. It is best to let the county magistrate take good care of it.

Five people, don’t let strangers bring them food, otherwise they will be in trouble even if their witness is gone.”

Zhang Fei was stunned when he heard this, and immediately sent someone to inform him. Looking back, it was necessary to be exaggerated and powerful, so he did not think of this move.

"Even without this, he won't be punished much. After all, he is the Zhao family, Zhao Zhong's Zhao family." Zhang He shook his head. No matter what the Ling Emperor's purpose was, the eunuchs were supported by him.
p>

Now is the time when the power of eunuchs is overwhelming, and this situation will continue for another five years.

In five years, it is not easy to overthrow a local tycoon. Even the county magistrate and prefect may not be able to withstand it.

After all, because Huangfu Song, the future Jizhou governor, offended the eunuchs, both Jizhou governor and Zuo Cheqi general were removed from their positions, and their titles were reduced from 8,000 households to 2,000 households.

Even if Gongsun Zan is a fool, the prefect is not a fool. He knows how to weigh the pros and cons.

Lessons can be learned, but they cannot be forced to death.

Sure enough, the next day someone delivered meals to several nursing homes.

The jailer received Gongsun Zan's instructions, or rather a threat, to find other living animals to try the food. As a result, after half an hour, these living animals began to twitch and died soon after.

The jailer thought that Gongsun Zan had told him that if these five prisoners died accidentally, the responsibility would fall on them. He was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat. He felt a lingering fear in his heart and quickly threw away the food.

On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, the prefect stepped in to calm the matter, and the Zhao family handed over their illegal gains and compensated Zhang He with part of the money.

When things reach this level, forget it.

Five nurses broke into private houses and did some illegal things. They were punished for several crimes and sold into official slaves.

As a result, the Zhao family spent money to buy it back from the government the next day.

It is equivalent to paying a bail and bailing the person out. This routine is very familiar to Zhang He.

These five people will die in the future, but before they die, they can be used to appease the hearts of other nursing homes.

"Brother, look..." Zhang He thought of this and immediately found Zhang Fei and whispered a few words to him.

"Dadao, it would be a waste if you don't study." Zhang Fei looked at Zhang He with some heartache, "No, I will move all the books to you when you get back. You should read more books when you have time."

After getting to know him during this period, I discovered that this young man is not only talented in martial arts, but also has a good brain, and his personality is gentle and not as violent as him.

If you can study hard and become a disciple of a famous teacher in the future, even if you cannot strive for filial piety and integrity, you can still become a famous scholar first.

"I'm still busy with forging, how can I have time to read?" Zhang He immediately retorted, there is really no need to read those Confucian classics.

Zhang Fei did not object when he heard this. In the past twenty years of the Han Dynasty, celebrities have been in power, and many people have been recruited as officials, regardless of their talents and learning.

When Zhang He said he wanted to become famous, Zhang Fei supported him.

After all, compared to waiting in line to be filial and honest, becoming a famous scholar and accepting conscription is also a shortcut to becoming an official.

Zhang He asked Zhang Lu to say hello every day, and Zhang Fei spent some money to publicize this matter everywhere.

Zhang He was so miserable in the past, but now he can still be so filial to his father's wife. Many officials nodded silently.

Regardless of whether you agree or not, official praise must be given. After all, the great man governed the country with benevolence and filial piety, which is politically correct.

"Forget it, Xuande invited us to have a drink. Do you want to go?" Zhang Fei changed the topic.

We had said we were going to treat a guest before, but we had a lot of social activities the year before, so it was only on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year that we started to have more free time.

"Go, of course!" Zhang He would certainly not miss the opportunity to have in-depth interactions with Liu Bei.

Especially when he knew that Zhang Fei planned to take over the Zhang family's property after he became an official, he felt that he had to take action.

This is of course Zhang Fei's doting on him, but the problem is that the world will soon change, and staying in Zhuoxian may not be a good thing.

The place to drink is still Zhangjia Restaurant, and with wine, of course there must be meat, fragrant roast chicken, roast lamb legs, and three small plates of pickles. It is not luxurious, but it is definitely rich!

"I always said that I would treat you two to a drink, but I didn't expect that I am so busy that I have no time today. I am so ashamed!" Liu Bei saw the two of them coming hand in hand and stood up to greet them in person.

"Wherever, whoever is not busy before the year, just have something to drink!" Zhang Fei laughed, and Zhang He nodded with a smile.

Zhang Fei is the direct eldest son, and he is a concubine. Normally, Zhang Fei is responsible for stepping forward, and he is mainly responsible for checking for leaks and filling them.

Of course, there is nothing wrong with Zhang Fei. He doesn't care about these rules. He can interrupt as he pleases, but it will look very rude to outsiders.

Socializing is different from a real banquet. From the moment he sat down, Liu Bei was chatting with Zhang Fei, and the food on the table remained motionless.

Zhang He was not idle either. He would pour wine for the two of them and would chime in with them from time to time.

"I've always heard that there is a great craftsman in the Zhang family, but I didn't know that it was Dadao." After wondering for a long time, Liu Bei looked at Zhang Fei and complained, "Yide is really unkind, hiding Dadao so well."

"I'm not afraid to tell Xuande..." Zhang Fei shook his head, "I didn't know that I had a concubine until the beginning of last year. My father hid Dadao and his son so well that I didn't even know about it.

But there is one thing. Dadao is not only good at blacksmithing, but also excellent in martial arts. He is rarely calmer and smarter than me. It's a pity that he hasn't studied for a few years. If he can become a disciple of a famous master, his achievements may surpass mine!"

This is like a drunkard who doesn't care about drinking and has already taken up the idea of ​​Liu Bei's mentor.

After all, Lu Zhi is also a great Confucian of the time. If he can be named under his name, let alone other things, he can at least enter the Confucian circle, and at the same time he can be considered a fellow sect with Liu Bei, Gongsun Zan.

"If it is as Yide said, Bei would not mind recommending it to his mentor." Liu Bei said with a smile.

I can't tell the talent at the moment, but I have seen the martial arts myself. I easily defeated seven thieves who were besieging me. This martial arts is indeed good.

Especially Zhang He's physique, who would have thought that such a thin figure could have such strength.

On the other hand, it is not surprising that Zhang Fei, with his tall and muscular figure, is stronger.

Whether it was to consolidate Zhang Fei's friendship or to win over a great craftsman, Liu Bei decided to make good friends with Zhang He...

Both parties have their own ideas, so the wine is naturally enjoyable.

As a result, just after returning home, Zhang Yuan handed over an invitation. It was Gongsun Zan who invited Zhang He over, and Yan Xiaomei planned to thank him for what happened before.

It took seven or eight days to say thank you. Should you be so deliberate?

Zhang He complained in his heart.
