Xu Xirong couldn't help but looked the big man up and down, and saw that although he was full of stubble, his clothes were tattered, and his appearance was haggard, he was tall and strong with a heroic spirit, so he couldn't help but look at him with admiration.
Xu Xirong nodded and said, "Strong man, you may as well speak up if you have anything to say."
The big man still looked directly at Xu Xirong's face and said, "Dare to ask Commander Xu, do we need to pay a fee to register here?"
At this time, Zhang Zhiyou, who was standing aside, suddenly turned pale when he heard the big man ask this sentence.
Several clerks who registered for registration were also pale with fright.
Xu Xirong looked at him strangely and said: "What is the strong man talking about? The soldiers of the Chu government recruited everyone to defend Wuchang and resist the bandits. It is too late for you to sign up and welcome them. How can they charge fees?"
"Oh? So Commander Xu, you don't know?"
When Xu Xirong heard this, he immediately understood what was going on. Although the Wuchang Mansion is eager to recruit soldiers, the defeated soldiers and vagrants who can join the soldiers of the Chu Mansion will have a livelihood and a way out. Fubing, those who don't pay money will not be registered, and they cannot join. In this way, anyone who wants to join must pay the regular money first.
"All officers of the recruiting office stand up!" Xu Xirong shouted majestically.
Several clerks came out hesitantly.
"Who among you has received the registration fee, stand up!"
Several staff members looked at each other in blank dismay, but did not speak.
"I'll say it again, whoever paid the registration fee will stand up!" Xu Xirong shouted angrily.
Several office staff still did not move, but looked at Zhang Zhiyou who was asking for help.
Seeing them looking at him, Zhang Zhiyou couldn't help being anxious, and shouted: "What are you looking at? Whoever collects the money will stand up. Do you have to wait for Commander Xu to find out?"
There was anger in the eyes of several staff members, a younger staff member suddenly spat on the ground, stepped forward and said to Xu Xirong: "Commander Xu, we have collected all the money"
"What?" Xu Xirong was furious.
"However, it's not what we want to charge" the young clerk continued.
"Who asked you to accept it?" Xu Xirong asked.
"It's him" The young clerk pointed it out.
Zhang Zhiyou knew something was wrong when the young clerk stood up, and was slowly backing away at this time, planning to slip away and hide at He Yuxian's place while everyone was not paying attention.
But the young clerk had already pointed at him at this time, and everyone's eyes were on him. How could he sneak away under the watchful eyes of everyone?
What's more, Xu Xirong has already looked at him.
"Master Zhang, is what he said the truth?" Xu Xirong asked Zhang Zhiyou closely.
"Nonsense," Zhang Zhi saw that he couldn't slip away, and shouted anxiously with a pale face, "Which bastard asked him to collect money? Master Xu, don't listen to this kid's nonsense, he is trying to drag me into the water, obviously He took the money on his own initiative, Mr. Xu, arrest these people and ask them to see if they recruit!"
Since ancient times, officials and officials have protected each other, Zhang Zhiyou said while winking at Xu Xirong, hoping that he could save his face and arrest these people first.
But under the watchful eyes of everyone, public anger is hard to offend, even if Xu Xirong knew that he was a confidant of the He University scholar - Zhang Zhiyou was originally a long-term follower of the He Mansion - he did not dare to protect him at this time.
What's more, when the other staff heard that Zhang Zhiyou asked Xu Xirong to arrest them and question them, they were already angry, and they all came up to testify that Zhang Zhiyou asked them to charge the fee.
Zhang Zhiyou was furious, and cursed: "You idiots, are you trying to rebel!"
Xu Xirong yelled at him and said, "Master Zhang, what else do you have to say?"
"Master Xu, you and I are colleagues, you can't listen to one-sided opinions on this matter" Zhang Zhiyou looked at Xu Xirong begging for mercy and said.
"Needless to say take it!" Xu Xirong shouted to the soldiers of the Chu Mansion who were standing by.
"Xu, how dare you!" Zhang Zhiyou shouted angrily, looking for an opportunity to retreat and escape.
The soldiers of the Chu government more or less knew Zhang Zhiyou's identity, so they were a little hesitant.
"Not yet? Violators will be punished by military law!" Xu Xirong shouted.
The soldiers of the Chu government finally rushed forward, holding Zhang Zhiyou by the arm.
"The surname is Xu, remember it!" Zhang Zhiyou was pressed on the back, and he looked at Xu fiercely with his neck stuck.Xi Rong said.
Xu Xirong didn't look at him, and ordered the soldiers of the Chu Mansion who were escorting him: "Take him to the Grand Scholars' Mansion and let the Grand Scholars deal with them!"
The Chu Mansion soldiers agreed and escorted him away.
Seeing that the soldiers of the Chu government escorted him away, Xu Xirong turned around and said to the staff: "Since I was ordered to do this, I will spare you for the time being. You go back and do things with your heart, and if you commit any crimes, you will be punished." No punishment!"
Several people cupped their hands towards Xu Xirong and said, "Thank you Commander Xu." Then they turned and walked towards the recruiting office.
"Wait a minute," Xu Xirong suddenly shouted to them, "When will you hand over your greedy money?"
"Report to Commander Xu, our share will be handed over tonight, but Master Zhang took most of the money" said the young clerk.
Xu Xirong nodded and said: "Master Zhang, I will take care of it, you go to work first."
Several clerks returned to the registration desk at the recruitment office and sat down.
At this time, Xu Xirong looked at the crowd who came to apply for the recruitment and said: "Everyone, my Wuchang Mansion recruits soldiers for the purpose of defending Wuchang Mansion and resisting bandits. There is no selfishness. The soldiers of the Chu Mansion welcome you to join us. We do not charge any registration fees for recruiting troops. , Anyone who meets the enlistment requirements will join the soldiers of the Chu Mansion with a generous salary, and in the future, they will be rewarded for their meritorious service in defending against bandits, and punished for their deeds. You don¡¯t have to have any doubts, you can sign up with confidence!¡±
Everyone cheered after seeing Xu Xirong's treatment just now, and after hearing what he said at the moment, they flocked to the registration office to sign up.
Xu Xirong stopped the big man who was the first to come out to answer, and asked, "Strong man, what's your name?"
The big man bowed his hands respectfully and said, "Dahan Zhang has met Commander Xu."
"Dahan Zhang? Okay, good name. Hurry up and sign up. After you sign up, report directly to me." Xu Xirong seemed to admire Zhang Dahan very much and wanted to train him himself.
Zhang Dahan bowed his hands respectfully to him, then turned and went to the registration office.
At this time, several men who came with him at the registration desk surrounded him and asked him, "What's going on?"
Zhang Dahan shook his head and said: "It's okay, let's sign up first."
Xu Xirong watched Zhang Dahan go to the registration desk to sign up, and then turned around and left with two entourages.
"Go to the University Scholars' Mansion!" Xu Xirong said to the two relatives. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
