Chapter 17, Han Dangyi

Walking along the way of the onlookers retreated into the shade of the big trees, the first thing Zu Zhao saw was Zhang Yuan, who was hung on the branch, and the two rangers who were usually close to Zhang Yuan. The three were dejected, like homeless dogs, with ragged and dusty clothes, and their faces had different degrees of bruises. It seems that Zhang Yuan had struggled before, but unfortunately it didn't work. At this moment, he was exhausted and didn't even have the strength to look up.

Look at the man sitting on the side of the tree root, it was none other than the mountain village man who suddenly appeared last time to comment on Zu Zhao and Zhang Yuan's attempt at the arrow method. Although the other party is the winner of the fight at this moment, it is obviously not so easy. There are also many scars on the body and face, and there is a bloody wound at the root of the neck, and a blood stain goes straight into the neckline. Next to him was an ancient vine bow, tied with a straw in the center of the bow.

Brawls between rangers are common, and it is not uncommon for even more people to kill people, but whether they win or lose, they will have a decent ending more or less. Either die, or disappear after begging for mercy, or lie down and use all means to revenge, etc. Zhang Yuan and two other rangers were beaten to death by bullying more and less, which is very embarrassing. At present, they are still tied to the branches to show the public. This kind of shame is simply more serious and cruel than the lives of these rangers.

Zhang, who was walking in the front, witnessed this scene and had already gritted his teeth and resentful. Relying on the scene with more than a dozen ancestors behind him, he impulsively rushed forward and shouted to the "village man": "Unknown child, let's see how long you are so arrogant. If you let my eldest brother go now and wait for me to kowtow and admit your mistake, maybe the young master will spare your life if he is happy!"

Hearing this loud noise, Zhang Yuan, who was tied to the branches, finally raised his head. After seeing his brother lead his ancestral brothers, his face was full of joy, but soon faded. Personal embarrassment can't show three or five points of embarrassment, and I can only take all the words in my throat back to my stomach.

The "village man" stared at Zhang Yu coldly, poured a sip of water, threw the water bag aside, and put on alert.

Zuzu Zhao kicked the horse's stomach, quickly rushed to the front to stop Zhang Yu, who was shouting, and scolded him, "Shut up."

Zhang's anger was in full swing, and his inertia was about to lose his temper with Zu Zhao. However, after seeing Zu Zhao's expressionless face, he felt a trace of coolness in his heart and immediately woke up and quickly silenced.

Zu Zhao came to the tree, turned over and fell off his horse. First, he took a look at Zhang Yuan, who was full of entangled faces, turned to the "village man" who was still sitting under the tree, arched his hand to the other party, and said lukewarmly, "I didn't expect to meet the hero again today. It's a coincidence. I don't know what's wrong with my brother and the hero. Why did they get into such a situation?

The "village man" snorted coldly, his face was pale, and said calmly and solemnly, "There is no need to talk nonsense. Since you are helping them, you can beat them."

Zu Zhao appreciated the other party's non-strong blood in his heart. He smiled indifferently and further said, "The strong man misunderstood. He didn't come here to cause trouble or not. On the contrary, he came on a special trip to turn a war into jade. In fact, I don't know what happened, and there is no way to determine who is wrong. If you simply follow the words of the Zhang brothers and the strong man has never defended, I'm afraid that this matter will become more and more out of control.

The "village man" sneered and said, "It's getting more and more out of control? Humph, are you afraid that you can bully me?"

Zu Zhao frowned slightly and said calmly, "A strong man, you are by no means unreasonable. There must be a saying. Admittedly, when I first met the hero, I knew that the hero was an open and aboveboard person. What can't be explained?

Zhang Pre, who was still on the horse's back, heard the conversation between Zu Zhao and the "village man". He was anxious and quickly interrupted, "Mr. Zu, this man is rude and unreasonable. What else do you have? Did the eldest son come to save my eldest brother?

Zu Zhao glanced at Zhang Pre with a stern look. Zhang Yuton felt that his back was cold, and he didn't expect that a person who was comparable to his own age would have such a sharp momentum.

The "village man" also noticed the change in Zu Zhao's face, and even a trace of surprise flashed on his face.

Zu Zhao turned around, looked at the "village man" calmly, and asked in a calm tone, "If the hero trusts you, I hope you can be honest with him. Although he is young, he still has a clear understanding of the most basic Jianghu morality.

The "village man" showed admiration and nodded: "Mr. Zu is young but moral, which makes me admire him very much."

Zhang Yuan, who was hung on the branch, was not far from the two, and the conversation between the two was also clearly heard. He knew that Zu Zhao was never as impulsive and reckless as his brother Zhang Yu, and he was bound to investigate the matter clearly. Instead of waiting for humiliation, it's better to be open and confess, so that there is no way to save face.

At the thought of this, without waiting for the "village man" to talk about the cause of the incident, Zhang Yuanqiang shouted with a sense of confidence: "Yes, it was I, Zhang Wenyi who deliberately sought this man's trouble, but I was not as good as others and tied them up. In terms of martial arts, I was convinced and had nothing else to say. Today, it was Zhang Wenyi who was wrong and shamelessly asked for help from Mr. Zu. However, Zhang Yu didn't know what was good or bad. He actually had to bother Mr. Zu's coming from afar. Instead, he looked at my appearance. I, Zhang Wenyi, dare to do it. If there is a mistake, I will admit it. At this time, I am wrong.

By the last sentence, the voice was hoarse.

In the face of Zhang Yuan's sudden active confession, everyone present had different degrees of accidents. Zhang Yu was at a loss and didn't know what to say at this moment. He was stunned on the spot.

Zu Zhao has guessed the general idea of the matter for a long time, so there is not much surprise. Zhang Yuan's realization is not a bad thing, so as not to make the originally simple things more and more complicated. He is very gratified that Zhang Yuan has such an awareness. It can be seen that the other party is more or less elegant, and he is by no means a pure market hooligan.

The village man smiled and said, "He knows well."

Zhang was so angry that he couldn't help chasing and saying, "There are few people coming out today. You're lucky."

When the "village man" heard this, he replied disdainfully, "What are you afraid of no matter how many people are? Who am I, Han Yigong afraid of?"

After Zu Zhao heard that the mysterious "village man" reported his home, his heart suddenly had some shock: Han Dang, the word Yigong.

He remembered that Han Dang, a famous general of Eastern Wu, was originally from Lingzhi County, Liaoxi County, Youzhou. Lingzhi County and Xu Wu County were originally adjacent to each other, and it was not difficult for the two places to communicate with each other. Not only that, history books record that Han Dang is good at shooting and has superior arm strength. When they first met, they have shown their preference for the art of bow shooting.

It seems that it is Han Dang and Han Yigong himself!

He was also tied up and said angrily to his brother, "A Yu, shut up, don't be ashamed again."

Zhang Pre had no choice but to say more.

Zu Zhao arched his hand again to the villager who called himself "Han Yigong" in front of him and said sincerely, "Since the matter has been clear, it is obvious that Zhang Wenyi can't absolve himself from the blame. However, Han Zhuangshi has taught him a lesson, and even tied him and the other two companions to the tree. The crime is not enough to be punished. It's better to make concessions and turn big things into small things. As for Han Zhuangshi's injury, my Zu Zhaoyi should bear the cost of the soup.

Although Han Yigong still has merit in Zu Zhao's performance and does not want to make too much trouble about today's affairs, he still doesn't want to have a good face with Zhang Yuan and Zhang Yu, so he said angrily: "These little people are self-righteous. Today, I just want to teach them a lesson so that he can We know that not everyone is so easy to bully.

Zu Zhao could see that Han Yigong was still angry, and he further persuaded: "Han Zhuangshi, I don't know if I can give you the next thin face. Although he is not a leading person, if Han Zhuangshi can sell me today, he will do his best and will never refuse at all.

Han Yigong said carelessly, "Why should I sell you as a favor?"

Zu Zhao smiled flatly and said meaningfully, "Han Zhuangshi should have heard of it, and it is not appropriate to solve the enemy. Brother Zhang Wenyi has taken the initiative to admit defeat and received the punishment he deserves, which is more or less like this for Han Zhuangshi. If Han Zhuangshi insists on turning small things into big, although Zhang Wenyi has suffered a loss today, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not hold a grudge, and he will find another opportunity to revenge. When you come and go, the grudges accumulate more and more, and no one can feel at ease. Is that all right?"

After a brief thought, Han Yigong was deeply understanding the reason and immediately laughed and said, "Mr. Ancestor is a good person. With Mr. Zu's bad words, I, Han Dang, will sell this favor."

Zu Zhao turned around and ordered Zu Ji, "Let down Brother Wenyi quickly."

Zu Ji answered and jumped off his horse quickly. Zhang, who was beside him, also turned over and fell down. He came to the big tree together and released Zhang Yuan and the other two rangers.

Gongsun Long was confused and thought that there would be another fight. At that time, he could also show his skills and earn some gimmicks for the Gongsun family more or less. Unexpectedly, the matter was solved by Zu Zhao in a few words.

When the matter was resolved peacefully, Zu Zhao naturally breathed a sigh of relief. Even if the matter was not perfect, at least there was a decent ending. After seeing Zhang Yuan settle down with the other two rangers, he turned around and said to Han Dang, "Everyone is happy that the big thing has become small. A few days ago, I saw Han Zhuangshi, and I admired Han Zhuangshi's mastery of bow and shooting skills. Today, due to clumsiness, it is also a fate. If Han Zhuangshi doesn't dislike it, he sincerely invites Han Zhuangshi to a restaurant in the town for a rest, drink a glass of water and wine, and officially get to know Han Zhuangshi.

Han Dang glanced at Zhang Yuan, Zhang Yu and others beside him, and his face was still fiery.

Seeing this, Zu Zhao smiled and said, "As the saying goes, you don't know each other. Brother Zhang Wenyi has often offended Han Zhuangshi, but there is nothing wrong with him. It is important to repent in time. This time, I went to the restaurant on a special trip, hoping to make Zhang Wenyi apologize to Han Zhuangshi. Of course, if Han Zhuangshi is really inconvenient, he will not dare to force him to give him five or two powers of silver as soup.

After listening to Zu Zhao's words, Han Dang naturally thought about it. Zu Zhao had such a demeanor and style at a young age, and had already shown a different side. He is a heroic person. Since the other party invites him so sincerely, he will look narrow if he doesn't go, or he will be afraid of these rangers. Thinking of this, he answered coldly, "Mr. Zu's kindness, Han is not as good as obeying."
