Chapter 340 Night Tour of Chang'an(2/2)

Zhang Huan felt sad. When the old man saw him, he smiled and patted his shoulder, "Young man, it's okay. We are old and have no requirements. Just have a meal to eat. It's better than them."

The old man pointed to the small vendors next to him, "They have old people above and young people below, so they rely on selling these things to support the family!"

"Uncle, are you selling things here? Is the government responsible for it?"

"Why don't you care!" A vendor next to him said angrily: "We sell things here, and earn a little money, even selling rice is not enough. But the shops in the west city thought we had robbed their business, so they ran to the government to complain. As a result, there were yamen runners coming to find trouble every day, as if they were robbed. They ran as fierce as robbers. They were smashed into the stall after running slower, and some were caught to eat boards and paid the ransom before they could be released."

"No matter how hard they are, they are all going home." The old man added with a smile: "And we are in a corner. Although the business is not good, it is easier for the people from the government to run away."

"I'm still saying run, can you run?" The old lady scolded him with a little unhappy, "I got a stick yesterday, and my life was almost sent away!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she heard the door of the house like a thunderous nest. Countless small vendors rushed towards this side with big bags. Passersby cried and called their parents, and it was a mess. Zhang Huan was quick-eyed and quickly pulled Hua Jinxiu to his side.

"Uncle Yang, run away!" The vendor next to him ran away with a bag of four corners of the street cloth.

The old man's face turned pale and his voice trembled, "Oh no, they are here."

"Old man, come and help me collect it!" The old lady was so anxious that her hands were trembling, but she couldn't hold it away.

Zhang Huan held the two old men and said, "Don't be afraid, I'm here, let's see who dares to touch you!"

He stood up and ordered his soldiers, "Go and pull them for me!"

After the order was ordered, the soldiers rolled up their sleeves and rushed to the front.

The old man looked at Zhang Huan in surprise, "Is the guy also an official?"

Zhang Huan smiled and said, "What do you think?"

The old man shook his head, "The officials will not come to us to buy things, nor will they sit on the ground with me. I don't think so."

Zhang Huan smiled but did not answer. At this time, the personal soldiers pushed and rushed over a dozen officers and kicked them over in front of Zhang Huan, "Governor, it's these people who do evil."

"Governor?" The old man's heart suddenly jumped up.

The servants are not yamen runners, they are the kind that have no formal organization. They let them do the hard and tiring things that the yamen runners are unwilling to do. They also have to eat and make money. Therefore, it is ten times more cruel to squeeze the people than those yamen runners. No matter which dynasty or generation, they are a major cancer in society. Relying on them to make money is also a major unspoken rule in the officialdom since ancient times.

Zhang Huan walked up to them with his hands behind his back and asked coldly: "Who asked you to smash the stall?"

These servants were all busy in the market. They knew that they had met a big man today, and the soldiers were called the governor of this person, and this official was not something they could afford.

A head of the leader said tremblingly: "It is the order of the Wang County Magistrate of Chang'an County, we dare not refuse to obey."

"Governor, I'll find their county magistrate." A personal captain stepped forward and said.

"No!" Zhang Huan turned around and said to Fang Wuqing who followed him like a shadow: "You go to Yanshoufang next door and find Jingzhao Yin Han Yannian for me."

The old couple finally understood that the young man in front of them was a remarkable person. The old couple knelt down, "Master, we don't know, please forgive me!"

Zhang Huan quickly helped them up and comforted them with a smile, "Don't be afraid, two old men. We are fellow villagers, and your youngest son has gone to my Longyou army, so he is not an outsider."

"You are..." The old man vaguely understood a little.

"Old man, you will know in the future." Zhang Huan waved his hand and called two personal soldiers and handed them over to them, "Let them be properly placed for me, and I will send a message to Longyou immediately, and order Hu Yong to find their son."

The personal soldiers took the order and quickly helped the old man aside. After a while, Jingzhao Yinong Han Yannian and Chang'an County Magistrate Liu Shi rushed over in a panic, and Liu Shi happened to be in his mansion.

Han Yannian was the original Taiyuan Yin, Zhang Ruohao promoted him. After the Zhang family fell, he surrendered to Pei Jun. He had just been transferred from Hedong to serve as Jingzhao Yin at the beginning of the year. He knew Zhang Huan. He hurried forward to salute, "Jingzhao Yin Han Yannian met Zhang Shangshu!"

When Liu Shi, the county magistrate of Chang'an County, saw the officers kneeling on the ground, his head suddenly became bigger, and he hurriedly stepped forward tremblingly and said, "I am not in charge of Chang'an County, Liu Shi, who is the county magistrate of Chang'an County, meets Shangshu Zhang!"

At this time, almost all the small vendors came back quietly. They stood from afar, staring at everything that happened. Zhang Huan sneered and pointed at the vendors and said to Han Yannian: "I want to ask Han Envoy Han for a love affair. Can I allow them to make a living here in the future and let them find a way out?"

Han Yannian sighed inwardly. He even called himself in this small matter, clearly trying to make things bigger and gain public opinion. This matter will surely become a major interesting news that caused a sensation in Chang'an tomorrow.

"The Secretary of State has an order, how dare you not obey me?" He turned around and said to Liu Shi: "I will leave this matter to you!"

"Subordinate to obey the order!"

Liu Shi quickly walked to the vendors and whispered: "I am the county magistrate of Chang'an County. This road can be distributed to you in the future, but you must not gather people to cause trouble, and you must not do illegal activities."

Seeing the expression of ecstasy on everyone's faces, he took advantage of their shouting and said, "You should thank Zhang Shangshu of the Ministry of War for this matter. He is sympathetic to the people and considers your livelihood. Remember..."

Before he could finish speaking, his voice was drowned by the deafening cheers. Zhang Huan smiled slightly and said to Hua Jinxiu: "Let's go back!"
