Chapter 38 Adviser Chen Ping
Hou Xi did not come alone, and accompanied him, Hu Zhuang, an important figure of the Hu clan in Yangwu City. The Hu family and the Zhang family were in Yangwu. The situation of intermarriage between the big clans was very common. If you look closely, Hu Zhuang and Zhang Fu were also considered as a relative.
"Aping, go and hear what Hou Sima said." Zhang Fu waved his hand, straightened his clothes, and went to the front hall to welcome guests.
"Listen to Ahon's order!" The young man lowered his head and responded, tidied up his clothes, his expression still calm.
Hou Xi came here for the sake of previous discussions. After confirming that Li Yuan was outside the city and was preparing to enter the city, Hou Xi, who was excited, hurriedly discussed with Hu Zhuang and He Ping how to deal with the matter. These days, they were urged by Zhao Ben's people almost every day. Most of the male members of Junyi were transferred to the city, and only Zhang Fu's family had surplus and could pay for the money to exempt labor service. Now that the major change is imminent, Hou Xi decided to first come to Zhang Fu's famous one to find out.
These days, if it weren't for Zhang Fu Kang's mercy, Hou Xi and Hu Zhuang would have had a harder time facing difficulties. At that time, the resettlement conditions that Yang Xiong agreed to when he retreated to Xingyang would have become nothing to do when he arrived at Zhao Ben.
"Wen Zhang, I have to inform you about some things. The county magistrate has a new order to recruit all male members of the age in the city to guard the city within three days. The healthy women in the family should also be given a rank, thinking it is labor service." Hou Xi sat down and bowed his hands to Zhang Fu and said solemnly.
The Zhang family is a big family, and Zhang Fu is also the elders elected by Yangwu and Junyi people. Hou Xi and Hu Zhuang must plan something. They cannot say that they must get the support of Zhang Fu, but at least Zhang Fu should not object. Zhao Ben's over-the-top levy and taxation made Zhang Fu very dissatisfied. Hou Xi believed that Zhang Fu would resonate with him after he said this.
"What, Hou Sima, you are right. This Zhao Gou really doesn't want to live anymore." Before Zhang Fu could speak, Zhang Kuo, who was listening on the side, jumped up first.
The Zhang family has been a wealthy family for generations, especially after Zhang Yi and the two served as prime ministers of Qin and Wei, they have been living a prosperous life with a pampered and prosperous life. They were asked to guard the city and their wives and children to move stones, which made Zhang Cai not anxious.
"Sit down, why are you anxious? Learn more about Aping." Zhang Fu looked down and scolded him. However, looking at his face, he was also very ugly.
Zhao Ben's this time really touched Zhang Fu's bottom line. He originally thought that no matter how much trouble the city was, as long as his Zhang family lived their own life peacefully, they would always be able to overcome difficulties. He never thought that Zhao Ben would do such a move and guard the city Heng. He had no eyes and no swords and guns. What would happen if he was killed or injured?
"Wen Zhang, whether Zhao Ben wants to live or not does not have to do with us. There are many people in this city who want to live. If anything happens, Mr. Zhang must be calm." Hou smiled happily. The loss of sorrow for many days made him look refreshed.
"Change? Sima said——, Oh, you have to be careful. If the wind is gone, the wind will be heard." Zhang Fu was shocked. Although he had heard of the forces in the city opposing Zhao Ben, Zhang Fu was still unprepared when he said that he really wanted to use a knife and a gun. Liu Bang's army was blocking at least through a city wall outside the city. If there was chaos in the city, who would know what would happen together?
"Don't worry, Mr. Zhang, you won't make any mistakes this time. In a few days, when Mr. Zhang sees him, he will understand everything." Hou Xi stood up happily and prepared to say goodbye and leave.
"Hou Sima, Elder Hu will go slowly! Aping, go and give it a gift." Zhang Fu ordered, and the young man who had not made a sound responded in a low voice, taking Hou Xi and Hu Zhuang to the gate.
When Hou Xi and Hu Zhuang came to Zhang Fu, they mainly had to get a shot of vaccination, that is, what actions they did next? Please don’t object to Mr. Zhang, or at least remain silent.
"Hou Sima, in a few days, who will come? I, Aweng, know this person?" The young man bowed and said goodbye to Hou Xi and Hu Zhuang, and suddenly asked.
"Well, ah, I'll know in two days that Brother Chen is traveling in Linji, why did he return to Xingyang?" Hou Xixu responded, and without saying it thoroughly, he rushed to Hu Zhuang. This big change is imminent, and Li Yuan is about to enter the city. Their direct descendants are unable to do anything about the war, and they have planned a lot of things. Since the purpose of coming to Zhang Fu has achieved, they are busy planning for the next thing.
——.
Chen Ping slowly paced back from the door. Zhang Fu was still sitting in the hall, frowning and not talking. Zhang Zhong beside him was so anxious that his face turned red, but he didn't dare to disturb him.
"Aping, come and persuade Ah Weng. I haven't spoken for a long time, so I'm so anxious." Zhang Zhong saw Chen Ping coming in and hurriedly stepped forward and said.
In this family, Mr. Zhang Fu has always been in charge of the family. Zhang Zhong has been living in the shadow of Mr. Zhang for so many years and has not experienced anything. In terms of wisdom and cleverness, he is not as good as his son-in-law.
"Aweng, I just saw Hou Sima and Elder Hu's expressions, and they were all very happy. If this was just a united anti-Zhao, it would not be a big happy event." Chen Ping stepped forward and said, "My father-in-law always had to take into account the face of his father-in-law. Zhang Zhong couldn't hide the matter in his heart. In addition, he did have something to say to Zhang Fu.
"Aping, what you mean is that Hou Xi and Hu Zhuang will benefit from the great change. I'm afraid that this is not possible. The magistrate of Fan County, Guan Gongcao, the royal family, and those unknown forces are not vegetarians." Zhang Fu shook his head, and Chen Ping's words made him feel a little confused.
Chen Ping is a fellow villager in Yangwu. He met this grandson-in-law with his own eyes. Not only did he have a good face, but he also studied under Huang Lao and had a very good knowledge. In the past two years, Chen Ping has received funding from the Zhang family and traveled to Wei and Chu. He has a wide range of friendship and can be regarded as an insightful person.
Chen Ping's face was calm and silent for a while. Fang Shi said, "Aweng, I'm just guessing this. I originally wanted to go out of the city and go to the camp of Liu Envoy of Wu'an Hou to talk to him. Now, you can't be anxious."
"Oh, wait a little longer. Let's slow down the tragedy of Daliang. If there was no way, we would never take that step. Please pay more attention to Su Niang, don't get angry about these things." Zhang Fu sighed and ordered Chen Ping.
Being the head of a big family, the scenery is glory and it is also very tiring. Chen Ping's wife, Zhang Fu's granddaughter Zhang Suniang, has been engaged to someone five times, but she can't marry someone because of one kind of thing. Perhaps because of pity, Zhang Fu is very pitying to Zhang Suniang.
"Don't worry, Ah Weng, I've been staying at home these few days to take care of Su'er." Chen Ping nodded and responded. Now Zhang Su Niang has been pregnant for more than seven months, and it's time to be unable to move. She went from Junyi to Xingyang in the previous round and vomited all the way from the donkey cart. If the city gets messy, it would be bad.
