Chapter 007: Wei Hanzhi

Heng Yuan? Is this my name in this era? Zheng Yong sat down and pondered. He was still puzzled about how he had traveled through time, as everyone who knew "Zheng Yong" regarded him as the "Zheng Yong" of this era.

What exactly happened inside, Zheng Yong had no idea at all. How could he dare to respond to Wei Hanzhi's words? He could only listen as Wei Hanzhi spoke to himself:

Hengyuan, you are still young; do not act so impulsively. A dead person cannot speak, but he can still do a few good deeds for the living. As for Zhang Hong, just burn a bit more paper money for him in the future

Zheng Yong?'' The officer saw a young man walking out while responding loudly. He was slightly taken aback, and after receiving a definite answer, he said with a stern face: ``Come with me, Commander Wei wants to see you immediately!''

Zheng Yongxin had a rough idea of the situation. It seemed that Wei Hanzhi truly cherished his real nephew, which was why he had taken him along with the bearded scholars to complete a task that was originally supposed to be easy. Who would have thought that an incident would occur instead

As if sensing Zheng Yong's thoughts, Wei Hanzhi smiled nonchalantly

After they carefully closed the door, Wei Hanzhi coldly said, "Sit down, Hengyuan, you have worked hard these days"

He had no idea what the real "Zheng Yong" was like, fearing that he might accidentally reveal too much. Thus, he attributed the credit for killing Jin Shunzi to Huzi. In his heart, he felt deeply grateful to Huzi the scholar, believing that if this could truly earn him some merit, it would serve as a consolation to Huzi's spirit.

"Captain You, thank you for your hard work. My nephew and I have a few words to exchange, so please step outside for a moment." Wei Hanzhi's words always sounded somewhat sarcastic, leaving one feeling rather uncomfortable.

Your suffering and grievances are well understood by your uncle. Therefore, after you returned, you did not come to find him. Out of spite, you became a mere soldier. Your uncle does not blame you, truly does not blame you; you have always had such a stubborn temperament since childhood. However, your uncle genuinely thought that hetushucom.com was just an easy task, intending for you to make a trip there, after which he could arrange a good position for you upon your return.

Saying this, he turned around and walked away without looking back

Seeing Zheng Yongmo remain silent, Wei Hanzhi unexpectedly let out a sigh: "Hengyuan, I know you are still blaming your uncle in your heart for sending you to such a dangerous place. Your uncle happened to be at the Second Battalion to handle some matters and saw the roster of newly recruited soldiers. Upon seeing your name on it, he immediately recognized you by your appearance..."

Is it that Zhang Hong with the scruffy beard?

He was chattering away, and Zheng Yong felt a twinge of emotion. It was indeed a challenge to get someone like Wei Hanzhi to say such words. Although he had no blood relation to him, in this era, apart from this false uncle, he truly had no other family.

Indeed, Jin Shunzi was the one who committed the murder, but Wei Hanzhi's words caused Zheng Yong's initial fondness and closeness towards him to diminish significantly.

A gloomy voice came from inside, and the officer cautiously pushed open the door, leading Zheng Yong in.

Come in

As soon as I entered, I was surprised to see their company commander, You Youwei, also at the company headquarters. In the position that should have been occupied by the company commander, there now sat a middle-aged man in casual clothes, thin and wiry. At that moment, You Youwei had completely lost the imposing demeanor he once had in front of the soldiers, displaying a face full of caution and humility, tinged with a hint of fear. He looked as if he were afraid that disaster was about to strike.

That damned Jin Shunzi, I have already sent someone to take care of him!" Wei Hanzhi said resentfully, thinking that he probably still did not know that Jin Shunzi had already died at Zheng Yong's hands. He vented his anger for a while, then suddenly let out a heavy sigh.

"Yes, yes, Commander Wei, please take your time to chat. I will have someone prepare a meal. I sincerely invite Commander Wei and Brother Zheng to honor us with your presence. You must come." While maintaining a smiling face, You Youwei accompanied the officer who brought Zheng Yonglai and retreated out.

Following behind the officer in a daze, I unexpectedly walked all the way to the company headquarters. The officer loudly announced at the door: "Report to Commander Wei, soldier Zheng Yong from the first squad of the first platoon of the second battalion of the 26th regiment of the 8th division has arrived!"

By this time, Zheng Yong had already understood a few things. It seemed that the lean middle-aged man was none other than Wei Hanzhi, the Chief Wei. Could it be that he was his nephew? It appeared that Wei Hanzhi had quite a background; otherwise, the former Huzi and Xiucai, now known as You Wei, would not react with such fear at the mention of this name, even going so far as to give up his chance to escape.

In the report, Zheng Yong did not dare to harbor any resentment towards his uncle. Zheng Yong stood up and said loudly, "It was just that the Easterners were pursuing too closely that I feared being intercepted halfway. I happened to see the recruitment notice, which is why I temporarily stayed here. As for that Jin Shunzi, he has already been killed by Huzi"

Wei Hanzhi nodded slightly, seeing that his nephew did not blame him, a hint of relief appeared in his eyes. He waved his hand, inviting Zheng Yong to sit down: "When we return to m.hetushucom.com, do not say that it was Zhang Hong who killed Jin Shunzi; you must say that it was you who killed Jin Shunzi"

"Commander Wei? Which Commander Wei?" Before Zheng Yong could react, Ouyang Ping had already given him a light kick on the backside: "What the hell are you still doing here? Commander Wei Hanzhi, if you delay any longer, you won't even have a head left, you brat."

Zheng Yong was momentarily taken aback, but he immediately understood the implication of Wei Hanzhi's words; he intended to attribute the credit to his nephew.

I heard that something happened to you, and my mind just exploded. You are the only son of my sister. Although your surname is Zheng, you will inherit the Wei family's business in the future, as you are the only one from both the Zheng and Wei families. If something really happened to you, how am I supposed to explain it to my sister...

"Brother Zheng, Brother Zheng!" Upon seeing Zheng Yong enter, You Youwei appeared exceptionally elated, quickly stepping forward to grasp Zheng Yong's hand, his words carrying a hint of flattery: "I say, Brother Zheng, since you are the nephew of Commander Wei, why didn't you mention it to me? I have truly wronged you these past few days, indeed I have..."
