Chapter 191 We don’t have money to give you

Zhao Hongjing’s attendant whispered, “Sir, the capital has never been checked so hard before. Could it be that they are targeting our man?”

Zhao Hongjing was much more alert this time. He looked at the huge queue and said to the victims behind him, “Brothers, it seems that we will not be checked today. Why don’t you wait here for a while while I go to find out what is going on?”

Those people had just arrived and didn’t know anything. They were naturally happy to have Zhao Hongjing, a local who was willing to help.

Zhao Hongjing squeezed to the front and found that the people being checked were not from the Jingzhao Yinfu. Judging from their clothes, they were from the city defense camp.

Fortunately, his coarse clothes today were ordinary and no one recognized him.

Instead, a policeman dressed as a small leader pushed him away and said, "What are you pushing for? Are you in a hurry to be reincarnated? Can't you see that everyone is queuing up?"

Zhao Hongjing nodded and stuffed a piece of silver into his hand, and asked politely, "Sir, what are you checking? I just want to ask when it will be my turn!"

The policeman weighed the silver in his sleeve and softened his tone, "According to a wire report, A large number of disaster victims from Xiling came to the capital. In order not to affect the imperial examination, all people entering and leaving had to check their identities. What do you do?"

Zhao Hongjing began to talk nonsense: "I am from the capital. I went out to do some small business. I almost ran out of my trousers. I had no choice but to come back."

The official took advantage of him and saw that he was alone, so he said: "Since you are from the capital and you are the only one here, take out your Bring your ID card, I'll let you go in first."

Zhao Hongjing smiled awkwardly and said, "I still have two followers. In that case, I'll go call them and come."

I don't know if the official got some benefits or liked Zhao Hongjing, so he kindly reminded him, "You must also have the ID cards of your followers. Everyone must be strictly checked."

Zhao Hongjing said with a bitter face, "What can I do? Some of them are my family's slaves, and their indentures are all in the mail. It's at home. Who do you think would go out with that thing?"

The officer said patiently, "It's not difficult. You can keep the person, take the indenture, and then go to the city defense camp to verify his identity, and then you can take him away."

Zhao Hongjing nodded vigorously and thanked him, "I understand, I understand, thank you, sir."

After leaving the city gate, Zhao Hongjing's smiling face suddenly turned cold. These people really came for the disaster victims and witnesses.

I was only investigating the disaster victims, why would they even check the indentures of the slaves who accompanied me.

It's no wonder that when he found Lao Diao, those people were just trying to silence him.

Lao Diao was the relative of Wang Duozi. Because he was mean and mean, everyone called him Lao Diao.

It seems that he can't bring those disaster victims and Lao Diao who asked for help.

Zhao Hongjing kept thinking in his mind, what should he do about this matter.

It is definitely not possible to force his way in, because it will expose the target and put these witnesses who are favorable to his brother in danger.

Fortunately, they are already outside the capital. As long as he enters the capital, his family will definitely find a way to let these people into the city. As

soon as he went back, the disaster victims asked eagerly: "Brother, what's going on? What are you investigating?"

Zhao Hongjing made a gesture of silence and said nervously: "This is not the place to talk, let's go."

He took the disaster victims and Lao Diao to the side road.

Fortunately, there were many people in the queue, and many people couldn't wait and went back, so they were not so conspicuous.

They walked for a long time before Zhao Hongjing stopped and said to those people, "They are investigating the disaster victims from Xiling. They say there was a riot in Xiling and they are afraid that you will affect the Spring Examination."

After hearing this, a young man could not help but curse, "Bullshit! Lord Zhao was doing a good job, but they arrested him without asking any questions. We are here to reason and testify for Lord Zhao, how come we have become a mob!"

Another person was also filled with righteous indignation and said, "That's right, let's go and reason with them. What's wrong with them being officials? There are so many of us, I don't believe we can't make ourselves clear." After

the two of them instigated everyone, they became excited and clamored to go to the officers and soldiers to seek justice.

Zhao Hongjing hurriedly advised: "Brothers, this is not the time to act on impulse. Think about it, Lord Zhao was doing well, why was he suddenly arrested? Someone must want to frame him!"

"Yes, that's why we have to testify for Lord Zhao!" The victims were excited.

Zhao Hongjing smiled bitterly and said: "Lord Zhao is an imperial minister, and he was arrested. You guys were killed before you could even argue."

"It's just a death. If it weren't for Lord Zhao, we would have died half a year ago. No matter if it's useful or not, we have to try. Folks, follow me!" The young man said loudly.

Zhao Hongjing was moved by their fearless spirit. They were just ordinary people. The only thing they could do now was to fight with their lives to save their brother's life.

Zhao Hongjing really wanted to tell them his identity and how grateful he was to them, but now was not the time.

With red eyes, he said, "Brothers, I really admire your spirit, but if you continue like this, once you reach the city gate, you will be taken down by the soldiers as a mob, and they will not give you any chance to speak."

The noisy crowd suddenly quieted down. What Zhao Hongjing said was true. They were not afraid of death, but such sacrifice was meaningless.

The young man took off his coat, threw it heavily on the ground, and said dejectedly: "This won't work, and that won't work. We have come thousands of miles from Xiling, are we going back in disgrace? Our fellow villagers have chipped away at this expense, and I can't face going back."

"That's right, what should we do?" Everyone became anxious.

Zhao Hongjing saw that the time was almost right, so he said, "I really didn't expect you to go to such lengths for a stranger. If you trust me, I have a way!"

Everyone's eyes lit up, and they all looked at Zhao Hongjing fixedly. The young man patted Zhao Hongjing's shoulder and said, "Why didn't you tell me earlier if there was a way? Isn't this a waste of time?"

Zhao Hongjing smiled awkwardly. He also wanted to tell it earlier. Wasn't it because he was afraid that there would be people who shouldn't be among the disaster victims?

"It's my fault. I didn't expect you to be so determined."

The old man stepped forward and said, "Brother, just tell me what you can do, but let me make it clear in advance that our food has been used up, and we rely on you for food these days. We don't have money to give you!" "

"
