Imperial County Magistrate

"General Zhang Ying of the Zuo Army of the Economic and Strategy Department."

"General Zhang Wuyuan of the Right Army of the Economic Strategy Department."

"The cavalry captain Zhang Qiunian and the infantry commander Zhang Qian...tsk tsk, you old Zhang family really do all the good things for your own family."

in the hall.

Zhao Kang crossed his legs and looked through the roster in his hand. There were nearly a hundred or so people in the hall, all of whom were branches of the Zhang family. Some were wearing armor and some were wearing civilian clothes.

Those whose names were read all fell to the ground and trembled.

It’s no wonder they are timid. Who wouldn’t be scared to see the mountains of human body parts outside?
Zhang Jieyu, who had not yet recovered from his father's murder, said nothing and only dared to look at Zhao Kang from the corner of his eye.

After writing down the people on the roster one by one, Zhao Kang said: "Tomorrow, Zhang Ying and Zhang Wuyuan will lead all the existing soldiers and horses to gather and wait for deployment. The rest of the people should go back to their homes to find their mothers."

He really didn't have much time to deal with the group of crooked melons and cracked jujubes below. Not to mention other things, there were only a few so-called captains, captains, captains, generals, etc., all of them were as round as potatoes and melon seeds.

It’s really hard for them to come to see me wearing armor.

After hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and was about to get up and leave. Zhao Kang then smiled and said: "In addition, from today on, you are no longer officials of the Economic and Strategy Department, but please don't act recklessly, otherwise I will be very angry." Not happy."

"Follow... obey..."

"We know, we know!"

Watching everyone leave, the pale-faced Zhang Jieyu was at a loss. Zhao Kang pointed to the chair beside him and asked him to sit down. Then he said calmly: "You have to be my manager for a while."

Zhang Jieyu raised his head. He was in a trance at the moment. Zhang Tao's pleas and curses before his death echoed in his mind.

Zhao Kang continued: "Then go to the capital of Emperor Yuan and give me something to give to Emperor Yuan."

"Imperial Capital...Imperial Capital?" Zhang Jieyu said blankly.

He was no stranger to the Imperial Capital and had been there once. Every year, the Economic Affairs Department would bring in a large amount of gold and silver and hand it over to Xiao Wudao.

Zhao Kang hummed: "After you finish what I told you, I will let you go free, so you have to calm down during this period and not give me any clues."

"I, I understand." Zhang Jieyu responded quickly.

Zhao Kang: "Open your mouth."

"what?"

Immediately afterwards, Zhang Jieyu felt something being popped into his mouth by Zhao Kang. He wanted to spit it out but couldn't. He looked at Zhao Kang in horror: "What did you feed me?"

"The most vicious poison in the world is a person who is half crazy when he smiles."

Zhao Kang casually tapped Zhang Jieyu as he spoke: "My finger has blocked the spread of poison, but as time goes by, the poison spreads. Without my rescue, you will die miserably when the drug takes effect. "

"Don't look at me with such bitterness and hatred. I'm also afraid that after you go to the imperial capital, you will bring hundreds of thousands of Da Yuan soldiers to attack me."

Zhao Kang smiled and said: "But as long as you are obedient, the toxicity will not occur. Okay, you can go down."

Feeling extremely sad and angry, but unable to express his anger, Zhang Jieyu left the hall in despair.

Gao Chong said at this time: "Master, why are you still keeping these Zhang family members? Wouldn't it be better to kill them all?"

Zhao Kang smiled: "They still need to stabilize the situation temporarily. Besides, I'm not a butcher. I love peace."

Gao Chong was speechless, and then he heard Zhao Kang say again: "As soon as Nian Kang and the others arrive, you must integrate the entire Eastern Region as quickly as possible, mine and forge. Nuoti, how is the research on the firearms blueprints going?" Li Nuoti hurriedly said: "Master, after your guidance, I have figured it all out. As long as I have enough manpower, I can make the firearms we need as quickly as possible."

"Very good, I'm looking forward to your performance. What's wrong with you, Batian?"

Looking at Huang Batian raising his hand, Zhao Kang asked doubtfully.

Huang Batian is very similar to the original Brother Diao. He is single-minded and basically does what the other party says. He rarely takes the initiative to ask questions.

Huang Batian scratched his head: "It's nothing, sir. I just want to ask you where you got that poison? Why haven't I heard you tell me about it before?"

"Would you like some of the mud you just rubbed off your body?"

……

It seemed that even the moon was covered with blood.

In the empty hall, Zhao Kang sat alone on a big chair. This position was occupied by the Emperor of Xia. Of course, no matter how courageous the Zhang family was, they would not dare to get a dragon chair or something like that.

A beautiful figure seemed to be riding on the wind, quietly walking into the hall, feeling very uneasy every step he took.

A pair of autumn eyes moved up, and she saw the person sitting on the big chair looking at her with half-closed eyes.

She was newly dressed in jet-black clothes, with a hint of gray hair swaying casually. Her right hand was casually placed on the head of the chair, and her left hand was slightly holding her cheek. Her lazy posture exuded an aura that was difficult for ordinary people to achieve, as if Nothing can enter his eyes anymore, as if he is above everything else.

At this moment, his eyes suddenly turned to him, thinking about how terrifying those people had said about this person before, Du Ningyan quickly lowered his head to perform the blessing ceremony, and said cautiously: "They asked their concubine to come and serve you."

There was some helplessness in her words. If this person hadn't appeared, today would have been her wedding day.

Although Zhang Jieyu is not a good person and she has no right to choose, the most important day in the life of a daughter's family turns into a sea of ​​corpses and blood, which makes people feel a little sad after all.

Especially when you have just gotten married, but you have to serve another man you have never met.

Fortunately, she was born as a dancing girl, and she was deliberately trained by the Red Mansion. She was going to be sent to the Economic Strategy Department so that one of her could achieve enlightenment, and the others would follow the chickens and dogs to ascend to heaven.

Only then could Du Ningyan accept it, otherwise a woman who usually valued her reputation would probably have hanged herself by now.

"Opportunistically, I really followed Zhang Mingyuan."

Zhao Kang smiled. Who would let the other party take care of him at this time? Apart from the surviving Zhang family members, he couldn't think of anyone else.

Listening to Zhao Kang's laughter, Du Ningyan dared to raise her head and look carefully at the man who ruined her wedding day.

Zhao Kang said at this time: "I heard that you are the number one dancer?"

Du Ningyan nodded lightly when he heard this: "I have learned dance since I was a child, and it's pretty good."

"I don't care about serving you. Just dance to relieve my boredom." Zhao Kang said.

"As ordered."

Although there was no silk and bamboo music, as the number one dancer, Du Ningyan's professionalism was obviously not compromised, and her long skirt with water sleeves danced beautifully.

I don’t know how long it took, but the sky turned blue.

Du Ningyan, who was out of the hall, was panting and bent over, hanging her legs, and glanced at the door of the hall angrily.

"You bastard thing, it really made me dance all night!" (End of Chapter)
