Wei and Jin cooks

Ever since Zhao Hanzhang left, Magistrate Chai County has been worried.

He was afraid that the rebels would come from Aoyang and Xiping and he would be unstoppable. He was also afraid that Zhao Hanzhang would abduct his people, and he still couldn't stand the Zhao family's mother and son.

But this fear soon turned into worry, because the Zhao family actually sent four children in. It was said that they were sent out overnight by Xiping.

The rebel army actually forced the Zhao family to send out the fire, and Magistrate Chai immediately had the idea of ​​​​escape.

But he still held on and did not dare to run away, because Zhao Hanzhang had said when he persuaded him before that surrendering if it didn't work would also save the people in the city.

The magistrate of Chaixian County received the news of the war situation in Xiping while being frightened.

I heard that the magistrate of Xiping County died in the city, and that the city of Xiping County was destroyed, causing heavy casualties;

I heard that Zhao took back Xiping County with his troops and drove away the rebels;

I heard that the person Zhao sent to regain Xiping County was a girl, the third wife of the Zhao family, and the granddaughter of Zhao Changyu;

I heard that Zhao Sanniang was very powerful. She rebuilt the county, appeased the people, distributed relief grains, and led the people in the county to harvest in autumn;

I heard that Zhao Sanniang defeated Zhao Ming and is still the actual person in charge of Zhao's Wubao. Zhao Zhongyu in the capital was sidelined;

I heard... Magistrate Chai heard a lot of rumors, and the worry on his face slowly turned into expressionless.

The first thing he asked after going to office every day was, "Is Zhao Sanniang back?"

Chang Ning told him with a complicated look, "There is no news."

Today Magistrate Chai received the same reply and couldn't help but get angry. Finally he couldn't help but ask, "Why is she so relieved? Her mother and brother are still in my hands."

Chang Ning was silent, do you dare to do anything to Wang and Zhao Erlang?

Don’t you have to entertain each other with delicious food and drinks?

Magistrate Chai looked sad, "Zhao's four children are also here with us. Why aren't they in a hurry?"

Ms. Zhao was really anxious, especially the parents of the four children.

They had already sent people to Shangcai to pick him up, but they didn't know until they arrived at Shangcai's manor that he had been sent to the county town.

In the manor, they can pick you up as soon as you want, but not in the county.

Not to mention that Magistrate Chai didn't agree, even Ji Yuan didn't agree.

"Since the person is sent to the city, he is the same as Erlang and Er Niang. He was entrusted by Sanniang to Magistrate Chai. If Sanniang doesn't come back for a day, they will not be able to leave the city for a day. This is good faith."

Magistrate Chai was deeply moved by this attitude. In recent days, he and Ji Yuan have become brothers with different surnames, and their relationship is heating up rapidly.

Magistrate Chai thought about it carefully. With the Zhao family's powerful position in Runan, if they forcefully take the person away, he really can't stop him. So Ji Yuan keeps his promise and thinks about him like this, how can he not? Where is your heart?

Magistrate Chai didn't know that Chang Ning was extremely silent when he saw how moved he was. He wanted to tell him that the reason why Ji Yuan stopped Zhao's people from taking away the four children was not just to keep them as magistrate of Chai County. Ling's hostage was also left as Zhao Hanzhang's hostage.

Do you really think those four children are in the hands of Magistrate Chai?

They were clearly in Zhao Hanzhang's hands.

As long as the Zhao family cannot pick them up for a day, their lifeline will be in Zhao Hanzhang's hands.

This can be seen from how successful Zhao Hanzhang's stay in Xiping County was, especially after the appointment of the magistrate and chief registrar of Xiping County.

Zhao Ming, a local wealthy nobleman who was once a middle-class scholar, was actually appointed as the county magistrate.

Who will be left with the vacant county magistrate?

Chang Ning knew it by thinking with his toes.

However, Magistrate Chai's feelings for Ji Yuan have been warming up rapidly recently, and Ji Yuan's villain has instigated a relationship between him and Magistrate Chai, so that he has been often suspected and reprimanded recently, so Chang Ning did not tell these things.

Magistrate Chai wouldn't believe it anyway, and in the end he would be scolded.

Chang Ning, a Buddhist, was waiting for Zhao Hanzhang to come back and replace him.

People in several rooms in Wubao were also waiting.

Even though there were only four children and four sets of parents sent out, there were still a bunch of relatives standing behind them.

After sending people to Shangcai for the first time but failing to bring him back, the relatives in Wubao had a new understanding of Zhao Hanzhang.

Before Wubao was besieged, Zhao Hanzhang was a smart junior in their eyes. If he had to define an identity, it would be the granddaughter of the eldest son and the actual decision-maker of the eldest son;

But, she is still a child.

After Wubao was besieged and liberated, Zhao Hanzhang was seen by them as a capable, bold, and smart junior, a girl who could discuss clan affairs;

After being unable to pick up the child, they finally realized that Zhao Hanzhang alone could stand in the same position as Zhao to discuss important matters.

So, what does she want from Zhao?

At this moment, she was no longer just Zhao Sanniang in the eyes of her relatives, she was also Zhao Hanzhang.

Zhao Sanniang is the Sanniang of the Zhao family and must obey the family's arrangements, but Zhao Hanzhang obviously does not.

Zhao Hanzhang handed over the county seat to Fu Tinghan, took two hundred people with him and returned to Wubao with Zhao Ming.

When they met again, it was only ten days later, but Zhao Song felt that it was longer than a year. He looked at Zhao Hanzhang quietly.

However, as before, Zhao Hanzhang jumped off his horse and ran towards Zhao Song with a smile on his face, saluted and called: "Fifth Uncle."

Zhao Song's expression softened involuntarily, and he nodded slightly and said, "I'm back."

Zhao Hanzhang nodded fiercely, with an admiring look on his face, "I'm back. Xiping County is finally on the right track now, so I can come back."

Zhao Hanzhang pointed to the dark circles under her eyelids and said, "Look, I haven't been able to sleep well for ten consecutive days. I can only sleep for two or three hours every day."

Zhao Song couldn't help but feel distressed, "Why do you sleep so little?"

"Xiping County has suffered heavy casualties and is full of waste. There are too many things to do. I am young and have little experience, so I can only stay up late to deal with official duties."

Zhao Song sighed and finally couldn't help but ask, "Why do you, a girl, do such a thankless thing?"

Zhao Hanzhang's voice was low, "Fifth uncle, when I saw the smoke in Xiping in Shangcai, I knew that Wubao was in danger. At that time, I didn't have many people on hand, let alone weapons and horses. It was nothing to ask for."

"I was burning inside and out, and I was very afraid that something would happen to Wubao. There are thousands of our Zhao clan members here. What should I do if something happens to you?" Zhao Hanzhang said: "So I can only plead everywhere and talk to the county. He ordered us to borrow troops, and reluctantly asked my mother and Erlang to go to Shangcai County as hostages in order to exchange for some weapons and horses for the tribe."

"I swore at that time that as long as I could keep Wubao, I would accumulate strength. If something like this happened again in the future, I would never take my mother and younger brother as hostages in exchange for troops."

Zhao Song looked at her in surprise. He didn't expect her to have such thoughts. He was heartbroken for a moment. He couldn't help crying while holding her hand, "Good boy, I'm sorry for you."

The person who had just brought Zhao Hanzhang back had arranged it. When Zhao Ming came back, he saw his grandfather and grandson holding each other's arms and crying.

Zhao Ming:......

I was obviously still angry these days that I saw the wrong person, why is it okay now?

Good night
