The Ultimate Prodigal Son - Chapter 1007
[Chapter 1007 Infected with a Cold]
“If possible, I would like you to be my elder brother. With you by my side, I can also know a lot of things.”
Zhang Yang also hurried over and hugged the fast horse censor, which gave the fast horse censor an unprecedented sense of warmth.
The consciousness was so painful that he couldn’t speak.
Suddenly, the fast horse censor knelt down in front of Zhang Yang’s mother.
“I don’t have my surname. My family used to be a slave, so I only have my own name.”
“My name is Zihao. I have never told anyone this name, and it is also to hide the reality that I am a slave.”
The fast horse censor now has such a high position, since he is a slave. There is
a clear rule in Yan State that people born as slaves are not worthy of being officials in the court no matter how talented they are.
The fast horse censor also hid his identity and made a living in Yan State.
Now that he can tell his identity, it seems that he no longer regards Zhang Yang’s family as an outsider.
“I now agree that you are my son, and you can officially use your own surname in the future.”
“I will call you Brother Zihao from now on, okay?”
“Zhang Zihao will be your name in the future, and our family welcomes you to join us.”
The father, who has always been taciturn, also welcomed the joining of the fast horse censor.
“It is a blessing for me to be able to come to your house. You can give me a home and let me hear such warmth. My life is worth it.”
After the fast horse censor finished speaking, he was a little nervous, and the cold wind today
made him faint directly. He knocked heavily on the ground and lost consciousness.
After seeing him faint, everyone helped him to the bed, and Zhang Yang’s mother personally fed him the boiled fish soup.
Wood is very precious on weekdays, and it is used for burning unless it is absolutely necessary.
But now Zhang Yang’s father is burning all the only few pieces of wood in the house.
Instantly, the temperature of the whole room rose, and the face of the fast horse censor gradually returned to its rosy color.
Now the sun has risen over the hillside, and the people of the entire fishing village have begun their day’s work.
“It’s time to start work, the villagers who haven’t gotten up yet are already behind.”
Every day, there are such villagers reminding them to carry out tasks.
“Here it comes, today I must catch a big fish.”
“The big fish must be mine, and today I will catch a few more pearls for my wife.”
The villagers in the village have already started planning their goals for today.
But Zhang Yang’s family still has such responsibilities and responsibilities. They must provide a large amount of labor to the State of Yan.
It is used to make military uniforms and busy transportation.
But I’m afraid that this task is not easy to complete. Everyone is doing a series of labor for their own livelihood.
This is likely to delay everyone’s progress, and some people may go hungry because of it.
But now is not the time to be stunned, the village chief also came to Zhang Yang’s house.
“Old Zhang, it’s time to get up and start work. Why are you a little late today?”
“Your house is so bright, did you light firewood? What kind of happy event is your family having today? You dare to light firewood, it seems that the whole village will come to your house to warm up.”
The village chief also said as he pushed open the door, and the scene in front of him also stunned the village chief.
In a small house withered by wind and rain, a blazing fire was burning on the ground. The temperature in the room was in sharp contrast with the humid climate outside. There was
also a person in official uniform lying on the bed, obviously suffering from a cold.
Zhang Yang’s mother, however, was holding a spoon to feed the official.
Zhang Yang’s father was also sitting next to him, and even the village chief saw Zhang Yang, whom he had not seen for a long time.
“Is there a rare guest in your house? Hasn’t Zhang Yang followed Lord Lin to the palace to be an official?”
The scene in front of him also made the village chief scratch his head for a while, and many doubts arose in his heart, which could not be answered for a while.
“Come in first, I will tell you what happened later.”
Zhang Yang’s father also asked the village chief to come over, and the village chief came to the fire pile to keep warm.
“Hello, village chief, this official is the fast horse censor, and the two of us came to the village to do business on the order of the emperor.”
“Look, this is the emperor’s handwritten edict.”
While speaking, Zhang Yang also took out the emperor’s handwritten edict from his pocket.
Even Zhang Yang’s parents had never seen such a thing, and everyone was instantly attracted by it.
“How do you have such a thing? Are you really following the emperor’s order?”
“Son, don’t joke like that. Lord Lin doesn’t seem to hold a very high position, so how come you have the emperor’s order?”
Zhang Yang’s parents were also terrified. Common people were not qualified to see the emperor’s order.
“I’m sorry I hid it for so long. Before I left, the emperor gave me something like this, asking me to convince our villagers to help the royal family.”
The village chief was also stunned. He looked at the official in front of him and the imperial edict in Zhang Yang’s hand.
“It seems that what you said is true. If something really happened to the court, then we villagers will do our best to help.”
The village chief also understood the origin of this official. It seems that he came back with Zhang Yang to ask for help from the villagers.
The village chief also ran out immediately and summoned representatives from the whole village to Zhang Yang’s house for a meeting.
Under the order of the village chief, a few moments later, people of all sizes came to the crowded Zhang Yang’s house.
“What’s the matter, village chief? We should go out to sea to fish now. Now we are wasting time here!”
“The village chief caught a good fish last night, so he is not in a hurry to go out to sea now.”
“Is there any new welfare? Really, tell me quickly.”
At this time, the representatives were ready one by one, and the village chief began his own conversation.
“Did everyone see this outsider on the bed?”
The village chief also pointed to the fast horse censor lying on the bed, and everyone looked over.
“Who is this? Is he picked up from the sea?”
“Who this person is has nothing to do with me, he can’t bring me fresh fish.”
Some vulgar people also shouted, it seems that they don’t care about the identity of the Fast Horse Censor.
And some new villagers also saw the official uniform of the Fast Horse Censor.
“Could this be an official?”
“Why did an official come to us? Did something important happen?”
The villagers also talked about the Fast Horse Censor on the bed.
“Everyone, please be patient. There have been earth-shaking changes in the court recently. It is also facing many crises.”
“And this official came here this time, of course, to ask for something important.”
