Chapter 8 Zhenjiang Zhao Family

In the wall of the mansion on the south side of Zhenjiang County, there are hundreds of cylindrical wooden stakes nailed to the ground, varying in depth and length, some are thick and some are thin. An old man in his sixties was wearing a white training robe and leaped on the wooden stakes. His feet were moving, and the strength of his legs could sank a wooden stake with a diameter of more than 30 centimeters to the ground with one foot. Although he could only vaguely see a few strands of black silk, his face was as bright as the glow of the night, and his rosy spirit was.

Others only know that the Zhao family is a family in Zhenjiang County, but his ancestors were Hanlin Academicians who had a heavy responsibility in the previous dynasty. After abandoning literature and martial arts, everyone in the family practiced martial arts. When Zhao'er Lang became an adult, he had to go out to explore the world. However, it is true that he made friends and attracted people from all walks of life. Over time, the Zhao family has a considerable force in the world. In terms of strength, the Zhao family is much more powerful than those simple official families and merchant families.

But what others don’t know is that his Zhao family is not just a small family in Zhenjiang. In the south of the Yangtze River, he will one day return as a master!

Zhenjiang is not only a family of Zhao, but Zhao Lin, the head of the Zhao family, not only works for business, but also does good deeds to poor families. Therefore, the Yu family, the first merchant in Zhenjiang, and the Cui family, a scholarly family, and some people in the martial arts world follow the leader of his Zhao family. In addition, Zhenjiang County covers a large area and is surrounded by forests several times larger than the county town. Here, the Zhao family has become a powerful local emperor.

After Zhao Lin finished his merits, he meditated on the thickest wooden stake to adjust his breath for a while as he was used to. Although he was old, he never missed martial arts. He would understand and understand it thoroughly every time he practiced.

But this time he was obviously a little anxious, so he closed his eyes and adjusted his breathing for one-third of his usual time. He suddenly opened his eyes. His eyes were full of rapidity and excitement, and his breathing was not as even as possible. He got off the wooden stake, called the tea-making maid, and slowly drank tea on the stone table next to the wooden stake.

"Go and call Manager Wang."

The maid leaned over and retreated, and halfway through the way, she encountered Manager Wang, who had a bruise on her face and was cursing in her mouth, so she quickly called him: "Manager Wang, Master is calling you in the martial arts training ground!"

When Manager Wang heard this, he immediately changed into a happy and flattering face and rushed to the martial arts training ground. The night before, he hurried back, risking being driven out of the Zhao family, and making a fuss to see the master. Although he met as he wished, he also truthfully informed the head of the family that he had seen. However, the head of the family didn't seem to care about it at the time and did not trust his words. After a long night, he was beaten and insulted because he did not complete the task assigned by the young master, which made him very angry.

Now that the old man came to him, he must have believed what he said, and he could not have any rewards to receive! Thinking about his walking steps much lighter.

Manager Wang came to the practice room. Zhao Lin, wearing a white robe, sat at the stone table in a spirit. When Manager Wang arrived, he was drinking tea in his hand and smiled.

"Manager Wang, what's your face?"

The matters in the mansion have always been in charge of the master, and even if an ant dies, he will know it as soon as possible.

Manager Wang lowered his body, bowed properly, and replied, "Master, I was accidentally dealt with this face by a servant." The old man was the head of the family. How could he not know that the injury on his face was beaten by his precious grandson, but he pretended to ask him ignorantly. He was a wise man, but he also knew how to calculate and to be valued. This is also a knowledge of loyalty.

"Oh?" Zhao Lin looked up at Manager Wang. This person is a little more opportunistic, but his brain is smart and easy to deal with. "Then he has to keep snacks in the future. How can those who want to do things for me be so careless?"

Manager Wang listened to the admonition in a low voice, but unexpectedly, the old man wanted to use him. He quickly knelt down on the ground with joy and said that he would definitely be loyal.

"Yeah, get up. I heard that Ziyu is preparing my birthday gift?"

After hearing the old man’s question, Manager Wang thought he must have known what happened in the forest. If he didn’t blame him, he would have acquiesced. So he said obscurely: “Don’t worry, Master, the young master is extremely talented and respects you. The gift he prepared this time will definitely surprise you!”

Zhao Lin nodded in a dim and continued, "That's good, then, I have something to leave to you to do, but I don't want a third person to know about this, do you understand?"

Manager Wang immediately expressed his thoughts, "Please rest assured, lord!"

"There is a magic weapon in the southeast, and you have made great achievements in your insight. I have decided to take people to personally and seize this magic weapon to shock my Zhao family. I want you to bring my hand to gather the heroes of the Jianghu area in the Zhenjiang area and go to the southeast with me."

Manager Wang was ecstatic when he got this job and bowed to him and left with the order of the head of the family.

The people in the Zhenjiang area are all righteous men who work on their own. Although there are few people with high martial arts skills, they can also gather the help for the Zhao family. Manager Wang is worthy of being an old fox who has been playing in the Zhao family for many years. In just three days, he summoned a group of righteous men and moved quietly into the Zhao family's house in Dongyuan.

Since Zhan Yi and Wang Qing sent Zhan Xiao to the town clinic for treatment, they returned to the forest. The town's food and accommodation cost a lot and it is not convenient to get along. After he informed his wife and son about the situation, the two planned that five days later, it was the market day. In the town, Zhan Yi would hunt more wild animals in the forest. At that time, the more ones would be pushed to the town to sell, so that they could go and see Zhan Xiao. In fact, if Xiaotian was not young and needed someone to take care of him, Lin Ronghua would have rushed to the town to see Zhan Xiao long ago.

Before dawn, the hunters in the forest woke up early and took their families to the town, hoping to sell the goods at a good price as soon as possible and then buy some useful items at home.

As usual, the Zhanyi family rushed to the town with Wang Qing's family. He entrusted Wang Qing to sell his three wild furs and some rare but unrealistic gadgets in the forest, while his family rushed to the clinic.

Under the treatment of Mrs. Mei, the wounds on his back, face and wrists had basically healed, but his right hand was not able to use strength in a short period of time due to the veins of his veins. He knew that the effective treatment was due to his promise to Mrs. Mei's conditions. So even though Mrs. Mei would occasionally disappear for half a day or several hours, he did not rush to leave.

First of all, he would keep his promise. Although he had tried the medicine several times, there was no other discomfort except for the pain and itch in his abdomen after he had just tried the poison. After Mrs. Mei gave him the medicine again, the pain and itch were gone. He gradually felt relieved and no longer took the theory of the poison test. Mrs. Mei did not receive half of the triage fee after he cured his injuries, and she was still very grateful for the sales.

Secondly, his experience in the forest caused him to be disabled for the rest of his life, and he could never swallow this tone! The town government has regulations and policies compared with hunters who survive on the forest land around him. He wants to report to the government to seek justice for himself.

While he was pondering, the curtain beside the bed was pulled open roughly, and what came towards him was the worry of his mother Lin Ronghua's face.

Today is market day, and he guessed that his parents would definitely come, but he didn't expect it to be so early.

"Xiao'er, my Xiao'er!"

Seeing that Zhan Xiao was wrapped in gauze on his hands, Lin Ronghua couldn't help but shed tears immediately. "Who is it? How could you hurt you to such a level!" She was worried about her son's injuries, and she didn't notice the surprise in her eyes when she saw her.

Zhan Yi led Zhan Yuntian and then arrived. He looked at his blood-faced eldest son with a worried look on his face and signaled to his eldest son that he did not tell Lin Ronghua about his disability. Zhan Yuntian has been very obedient and quiet these days. At this time, he came to Zhan Xiao's bed like a little adult, climbed to his bedside, reached out and gently touched the gauze wrapped in the wound on his wrist.

"Brother Xiao, Xiaotian will make you laugh, and it won't hurt soon." He looked serious, and it made people feel soft. "You must get better quickly. Xiaotian is waiting for my brother to come back to teach me how to catch big fish in a trap!"

Xiaotian's words made Zhan Xiao and Zhan Yi breathe at the same time. He could no longer teach Xiaotian anything again. Zhan Xiao's expression was sad but quickly recovered. He took a deep breath, looked at Zhan Yi seriously, and said, "Dad, do you know that the person who hurt me was from the Zhao family in this town?"

Zhan Yi and Lin Ronghua looked at each other in disbelief, not knowing when and why the Zhao family wanted to kill their son.

"Zhao family?"

A female voice came from the door of the curtain. Mrs. Mei was also dressed in black, standing beside his curtain and asked curiously. Several people looked at her strangely. Seeing that Mrs. Mei's eyes were full of fun, even Dr. Cai was surprised why Mrs. Mei was interested in the Zhao family.

Lin Ronghua hugged his youngest son and passed by Mrs. Mei and left the hut. What they talked about was that it was not suitable for Xiaotian to hear it, no matter whether it was good or bad.

Seeing that his mother and his younger brother went out, Zhan Xiao continued, "I saw a small piece of old woods cut down in our forest during the day. At night, I went to find out what happened. But in a few words, the other party was going to kill me. I accidentally realized their identity, and the man injured me to the point of being disabled!" At this point, Zhan Xiao had red eyes and a face full of unwillingness. At this moment, he was so hated, but he still couldn't clench the fist of his right hand. It was really useless!

"If there wasn't a strange blue light suddenly appeared in the sky, then Manager Wang seemed to have something urgent to suddenly throw me into a trap and left. Otherwise, I would have never seen my parents and brother again!"

"It's too much to deceive people! It's just too much to deceive people!" Zhan Yi suddenly stood up after hearing this, his face full of anger, his teeth clattered, and his arms clenched with fists were full of blue veins.

Mrs. Mei suddenly asked seriously: "You said, is there a piece of blue light? What kind of blue light? In what direction?" She was a little excited in her tone.

Zhan Xiao looked at Mrs. Mei in surprise, "I was in my woodland at that time, and to the southeast there, there was a little blue light, and then the red light was covered by the blue light, which looked more like silk fog, oh, and there were flashes of stars."

After hearing this, Mrs. Mei seemed a little excited and her slender five fingers held them heavily.

Zhan Yi was still angry and kept gasping for breath. "Xiao'er, you are recuperating here. I will go to the government to sue him in the Zhao family today. Please wait. If I can't even ask for justice for my son, why are you calling me?"

After saying that, he hurriedly walked out.

When Mrs. Mei saw Zhan Yi leaving, she looked at Zhan Xiao and said, "Your name is Xiao, what's your surname?"

"Sir Zhan, Zhan Xiao."

Mrs. Mei narrowed her eyes and continued, "Okay! Boy, today's thing is considered as if I owe you a favor, and I will repay it later. It is important. You, a hunter, don't understand the importance of this." As she said that, she pulled out a silver hairpin from her head and handed it to Zhan Xiao, "I will leave if I have important things today. I will meet you tomorrow. With this silver hairpin, you can ask me to do anything within my ability."
