"I see you, my lord!"
"No need to be so polite. Zhang Yan, why don't you rest in your tent? Why did you come to my place?" Lin Zedong was quite surprised. He and Zhang Yan were in the same camp, but this was the first time that the other party took the initiative to come to him. There were some doubts in his heart, but after a little thought, he could guess a little bit. It should be related to the letter from the Zhang family that he took yesterday.
Speaking of Zhang Yan's family background, Lin Zedong also knew about it. When Zhang Yan took out the Kongming Lantern before, he sent a note to the local government office in Langyuan, asking them to check Zhang Yan's family background and past. The results are clear and without any problems. However, it is also a pity that there is no sign of how Zhang Yan acquired his ability in miscellaneous studies.
Of course, what Yubei Mountain Fortress wants to investigate is Zhang Yan's background, not how he got his abilities. As long as there are no problems with him, there is no need to care too much about anything else.
But after understanding it, Lin Zedong also knew that the situation at Zhang Yan's family was not good, but of course it was not miserable. There were many people in the army who were even worse. Even because of Zhang Yan's military industry, the farmland exchanged has been divided, and the Zhang family's life should gradually improve in the future.
Therefore, Lin Zedong never mentioned the affairs of Zhang Yan's family. However, Zhang Yan came over quickly after getting the letter from home. Lin Zedong secretly wondered if something had happened at home?
"Sir, I have something to ask for, and I hope you can help me!" Zhang Yan bowed slightly, with a respectful attitude. After much thought, he decided to take on the responsibilities that his body's predecessor had failed to fulfill. Of course, he could leave it alone, but his nature prevented him from doing so.
Since he has taken possession of this body, he should accept everything in this body instead of picking and choosing. It is also appropriate to repay the opportunity given by my predecessor.
Zhang Yan, a member of the Zhang family, cannot ignore it. So he came to find Lin Zedong.
First of all, Lin Zedong has the most contact with Zhang Yan, and Zhang Yan also knows his temper better. Asking him for help should not be rejected. Secondly, Lin Zedong's favors were relatively easy to repay, and it was not like asking someone of Song Qinghe's level for help. The variables behind it might be unclear.
Lin Zedong was startled for a moment, then his eyes lit up and he smiled: "Zhang Yan, although you and I work together in the military, and we are different, we are equals. Take off this official robe, and I would rather call you your title." Friend. So, if you have anything to say, just say it."
"My lord's kindness will be borne in mind by my subordinates!" Then Zhang Yan expressed his worries.
After hearing this, Lin Zedong stood up from his seat unconsciously. His brows furrowed slightly. After pacing for a while, he looked at Zhang Yan and asked in a deep voice: "Are you sure you didn't set the fire? The person who died in the fire was not caused by you? He didn't even have anything to do with you?"
Zhang Yan couldn't just say that he was worried about the safety of his family. He had to have a good reason. Otherwise, asking people to help without explaining anything would make people feel disrespectful and not like asking for help.
Besides, what kind of person was Zhang Yan in his previous life? He was just a timid ordinary person. He had no memories of killing people, no thoughts, and no reason at all. He himself also had the idea to go back and reverse the case, but now it seemed upright to tell him in advance.
"Sir, I don't dare to lie if everything is true. When I first decided the case, I only admitted the crime after being beaten and couldn't do anything about it. Now that I have been cleared of serious crimes, I have no reason to quibble. I'm just worried that there are so many people in my family now. The property has been stolen, and thieves are coveting it, so I would like to ask you to find a solution."
Some things don’t need to be said too clearly, because Zhang Yan’s current identity is not enough. He can only talk about many things about himself and not others. But the result can be said. It depends on whether Lin Zedong believes it or not, or how much he believes it. .
Although Lin Zedong felt that what Zhang Yan said was a little too deep, he still believed it. After all, no matter how you think about it, there is no need for a person who has used military service to wash away his serious sins to slander a human life case, because it will not benefit him at all.
When Zhang Yan talked about it at this time, it was clear that he had no choice but to worry that his family would be remembered or even murdered because he did not die but got the land instead.
It makes sense logically. And Zhang Yan didn't say it, but he hinted at the two words "unjust case" and "seeking wealth". How could Lin Zedong not understand?
"It's not easy for me to ask about local matters, and it's probably not easy to hear what you're saying. It's better to be prepared and ask from top to bottom. But I have an old friend in Langyuan City. He is a city guard in the garrison. Langyuan was transferred at the end of last year. He should be able to help you. When the time comes, let him find a military reason to visit your home more and spread the word. It can also scare Xiaoxiao.
If you are still worried, I can also help you find ways to relocate your family to another place, but this will take a long time. You think about it. "Lin Zedong thought for a long time before giving Zhang Yan two options to choose from.
Zhang Yan was silent for a moment before replying: "My lord, I don't want to cause too much trouble to you. Come to think of it, those young people don't dare to do anything harmful to the world under the eyes of a dignified city guard officer, and the elderly at home are not in good health." Well, my brother is also disabled and inconvenient, so it’s better not to move.”
Lin Zedong was also straightforward. He actually felt that the first method was enough to protect the Zhang family. So he continued: "Well, I will write a letter to my good friend right now and use the military's expedited channel. It will be delivered to him in five days at the latest. Don't worry, my good friend is an upright and trustworthy person and will definitely handle it." It has to be done properly.”
Hearing this, Zhang Yan once again bowed deeply and thanked: "My lord, I have nothing to repay you for your high righteousness. I only have this little book of tricks for you to play with, just for fun in your spare time." After saying this, he handed over a book with more than ten pages. The pamphlet was handed to Lin Zedong. This was the return gift he prepared.
"This is?"
"These are some other uses of the Bagua array. Please correct me."
"Bagua array? Other ways to use it?" Lin Zedong didn't quite understand what he heard, but after getting familiar with the Bagua array, he thought it couldn't be an ordinary thing, so he opened the booklet and wanted to take a quick look at it, at least flip through it twice. Page to see what happens.
As a result, after reading just one page, Lin Zedong couldn't move his eyes away. After he quickly finished reading the page after page, he suddenly raised his head, with a look of shock on his face, and at the same time asked in an urgent tone: "Is there more? "
"Sir, there are many changes in the Bagua formation. These are all things I have just thought about in my free time. They can be used as a deception method or in the layout of the battle formation. Even my subordinates feel that they can be deployed even for big battles. It has some uses. However, I have never experienced a large battle formation, so there are bound to be errors and omissions. You can make changes and improvements based on your own experience."
The implication is that Lin Zedong needs to figure out the following content himself.
Lin Zedong felt regretful for a moment, then carefully put the book away and said seriously: "Zhang Yan, I accept your love!"
