Chapter 173 Rescue

"Damn it, what kind of weather is this?!"

The door was kicked open hard, and a rugged-looking, dark-faced man wearing a large official robe, with an air of air and a wide open chest, came out.

"You untouchables, why don't you get out of the way for me..."

Seeing the fire that was already lit inside, the dark-faced man's eyes lit up. Just as he was about to speak, he noticed the middle-aged man staring at him and the brother behind him with an unkind expression. He couldn't help but swallow it back. The last half sentence.

There was strength in numbers, and it was in the wilderness. It was uncertain how effective his official skin would be, so it was better to be polite.

As for Lin Chen, who had fewer people and seemed easier to bully, he ignored him intentionally or unintentionally.

When this guy came in, Lin Chen directly used the psychological invisibility technique to infinitely reduce the presence of himself and the fire beside him.

Even if it sees it, it will be ignored subconsciously.

After encountering a tough fight, the black-faced man suddenly felt angry in his heart, and shouted to the back: "You losers, why don't you come in quickly and start the fire!"

Soon, the rest of the people entered one after another behind him. The already small temple became a bit crowded as two groups of people entered one after another.

The black-faced men looked like a team escorted by the government. Although there were only seven or eight people, they were all wearing official uniforms, and they also pushed in a prisoner wearing handcuffs and anklets.

The prisoner was quite unique. He was an old man with gray hair, but his back was straight and his face was calm. Even though he was reduced to the level of a prisoner, he still had an indescribable magnanimity.

"You, you, you!" The black-faced man pointed at several pawns and shouted, "Hurry up and find firewood to make a fire!"

Seeing a young government servant holding clothes in front of the old man, the dark-faced man's expression suddenly darkened.

He walked up and kicked the younger yamen servant: "Boy, can't you hear my order?!"

"Old gentleman, your whole body is soaked. If you don't change into dry clothes, you will easily catch the cold." The younger yamen servant rubbed his kicked butt and said quickly.

"Hey, I don't see how kind you are. Why don't you usually give your rations and monthly money to the orphans and old people? Why are you pretending to be a good person here!" the black-faced man sneered.

"I..." The younger Yamen servant was said like this and was speechless for a moment. His face turned red and he froze on the spot.

On the side, an older government servant saw this and quickly came over and grabbed the young man: "My nephew is a little ignorant and offended the adults. I hope you can forgive me."

Immediately afterwards, he handed over another piece of broken silver.

When the dark-faced man saw this, his eyes lit up slightly, he took it calmly and put it in his arms.

"Children make mistakes, it's okay, I won't care about it, just go to work!"

The younger Yamen servant wanted to say something more, but was forcibly pulled away by the older Yamen servant.

"Humph, if you don't discipline me, you still think you are really lawless!"

The black-faced man snorted coldly and turned to leave.

But after taking a look at the old man, he suddenly thought of his mother at home. After a moment of silence, he picked up the dry clothes that fell on the ground.

Then, he threw it over: "Old guy, change your clothes, lest something happens later, and those gentlemen have to blame me!"

"Thank you." The old man nodded slightly to express his gratitude.

The black-faced man didn't say anything, but turned around and left. These days, whether he is expressing kindness or accepting gratitude, he is easily laughed at by the crowd.

Soon, another pile of flames rose again. Several people gathered around, roasting the flames, constantly driving away the moisture from their bodies. At the same time, they took out the dry food they carried with them and started to eat.

Suddenly, the dark-faced man moved his nose and smelled a strong fragrance. Looking sideways, he saw a group of people roasting golden and crispy roast ducks as he just entered the temple.

"This..." Several people couldn't help but swallow their saliva, and the black-faced man couldn't help swallowing. He felt that the grain cakes in his hands suddenly tasted tasteless.

"Sir, in this wilderness, the other party suddenly brought out the roast duck. I'm afraid, something is wrong..." At this time, the elderly yamen officer who had been escorting prisoners out all the time quickly reminded him.

When the black-faced man heard this, his whole body trembled. He realized something was wrong and immediately became alert: "I know, be careful and let everyone take care of this guy."

The aroma inside the temple is getting stronger and stronger, but except for the sound of swallowing saliva and the sound of rain outside the temple, the place is getting more and more silent.

Bah~

The next moment, a sound broke the silence. It was a group of middle-aged men eating roast duck.

‘There should be no problem, right? Am I overthinking it? ’ Seeing this scene, the black-faced man couldn’t help but swallow his saliva, and he couldn’t help but think of buying and selling.

"These brothers, I..."

The black-faced man just stood up and wanted to say something, but he felt his body suddenly became weak and he immediately became paralyzed.

W-what's going on? !

Not only that, he also saw the government servants who came with him falling down one after another.

"No, the aroma is poisonous!" The black-faced man wanted to take out the antidote pills, but he couldn't hold on and passed out.

"Haha! Just listen to me!" The young boy Xiao Wu jumped up and said proudly, "My methods are still powerful. They all fell down one after another without taking action!"

They didn't work on the roast duck, but on the aroma. Take the detoxification pills in advance and mix the poison into the roast duck to avoid being noticed.

"Stop talking nonsense, save people!" The middle-aged man ignored him and rushed forward directly to the old man's side, while the others tied up the government servants on the ground.

"Zhang Xiang, Zhang Xiang." The old man opened the chains on his body and took detoxification pills and water. The old man slowly woke up from the call.

Looking at this scene, the middle-aged man couldn't help but let out a long breath.

The person they rescued was none other than the Great Qian Dynasty, the former prime minister who promoted the reform--Zhang Zhiping!

"Um... who are you?" Zhang Zhiping, who woke up from a coma, looked at the person in front of him, touched his somewhat swollen head, and asked.

"We brothers are from the green forest. We have long heard that Prime Minister Zhang is a wise man. This time he was framed by a traitor and fled to the border. We are here to rescue him." The middle-aged man clasped his fists and said respectfully.

"The green forest hero..." Zhang Zhiping's mind was a little fuzzy. He sat on the ground and calmed down for a while before slowly waking up.

"Are you Mr. Zhang?" Xiao Wu, who was on the side, came over at this moment.

"Xiaowu, go back quickly, don't offend Mr. Zhang!" Seeing this, the middle-aged man's face darkened.

"Haha, it's okay. This kid has a lot of cleverness, I quite like it." Zhang Zhiping looked at the clever kid in front of him, seemed to have thought of something, and couldn't help but smile.

"I hope you won't offend your husband." Seeing this scene, the middle-aged man couldn't help but sighed helplessly and agreed.

"Brother, these officials have been tied up. Do we want to go next?" At this time, a man in black came up from the side.

"This..." The middle-aged man looked at Zhang Zhiping.

"Knock them unconscious and put them in the side hall. They are all poor people. They are just following orders." Zhang Zhiping shook his head and sighed softly.

"Everything is as Prime Minister Zhang said." The middle-aged man nodded and immediately ordered.

Soon, everything was taken care of on the field.

"Xiang Zhang, next, our brothers have arranged a safe place, you can..."

"If possible, I hope you will send me back to the court." Zhang Zhiping said solemnly.

"Can... eh?" The middle-aged man raised his head sharply, "Prime Minister Zhang, the court is surrounded by crises now. Those treacherous ministers and sycophants want you to die. If you go back at this time, there may be unexpected dangers!"

"I know, but if you want to advance the reform, you can only do it in the imperial court!"

"But your changes have failed. The emperor... and those traitorous ministers completely disagree with your changes." The middle-aged man said with a solemn expression.

"I still have a chance. Once the reform is successful, there will be huge benefits. By then, not only will the people benefit, but these guys will also get greater benefits. I believe they will not refuse!" Zhang Zhiping said firmly.

"Old sir, do you think that as long as the pie is made big enough, no matter how you divide it, the people at the bottom will get a share?" At this time, a voice suddenly came from beside them.

"Who?!" The middle-aged man's face changed drastically, and he suddenly turned his head to look, only to see a young man in white standing next to him and asked.

When did he come here? I didn't notice it at all? And the drug is so useless to him? !

The expressions of the middle-aged man and the man in black changed one after another, and they each took a step back, with fear in their eyes.

Zhang Zhiping glanced at Lin Chen and said extraordinarily calmly: "Yes, I think as long as the benefits are big enough and enough, no matter how they are divided, they will be left in the hands of the people."

"Everything in the world is for profit. Everything in the world is for profit. Only by the continuous expansion of interests can the wealthy families and landlords take a step back for the time being, allowing the people at the bottom to survive and thus continue peace!"

"Really?" Lin Chen's eyes were incomprehensible and he said faintly, "I think that continuing peace has nothing to do with interests, but rather, it has to do with people's hearts!"
