Today, the Han Dynasty is based on the orthodox dominance, and as the enemy of the court, the Yellow Turban Army has been defined as a thief.

Scholars have always paid attention to etiquette.

Monarchs and ministers, fathers and sons, this is the righteousness of Confucianism, and everyone who reads respects it.

Therefore, the Yellow Turban Army rarely has scholars to join.

Even some scholars who don't know the taste of sorrow will regard the yellow scarf as a major problem for the imperial court and want to expel it.

Although Jiang Lu is a scholar, he is not old-fashioned, he lives at the bottom, reflecting a lot of helplessness, but he is not very interested in the Yellow Turban Army, although he does not like the wealthy family, but he respects the law and discipline of the imperial court, and the Yellow Turban Uprising is a great rebellion, this is the anti-thief.

He deigned to be a slum in Sifangli, but he had a lot of connections and well-informed information in Shilin, and the most popular name in Wuyin County since December last year was Mushan.

Mushan has always been a thief among the remnants of the Nanyang Yellow Turban, and he is a wanted object in the county.

Last year, Makiyama suddenly led troops to attack the county seat.

After the first battle, the power of Wuyin County changed, and the Emperor of Wuyin and the head of the scholar clan, the Zhu family, were wiped out, and in the Shilin, it caused an uproar.

Later, it was said that Makiyama died during the attack on the county seat.

However, some people say that Mushan Golden Cicada broke out of its shell, assumed the name Zhang Chuan, and became the county lieutenant in the county government.

He is still relatively well-informed, and learned from a scholar in the county government that Zhang Chuan is Mushan, and he has been surprised for a long time, but he has never entered the official career, but he is just the identity of a scholar, and the officialdom is soft-spoken, and it is difficult to say anything.

He didn't expect Mushan's son to come to the door.

"Let's go!" Jiang Lu has a very hard temper, he doesn't like it, he doesn't like it, he doesn't agree with each other, and immediately drives people away, saying: "Although I, Jiang Haoming, am just a down-and-out reader, I don't dare to be with thieves!" ”

His words are bright, and his enlightenment was made for him at the time of the crown, but few people know about it in recent years.

"Old thing, you have a thief when you open your mouth, a thief when you shut up, you look for death!"

Tan Zong was a little angry, holding the hilt of his sword in his hand, and glaring angrily.

"Brother Tan, what are you doing, in front of Mr., don't be rude, stand back!" Mu Jing hurriedly snorted.

"Humph!"

Tan Zong snorted coldly, took a step back, and looked at Jiang Lu with slanted eyes, he was not interested in this cold man at all, the so-called first person from the Yin and Han Sect was just a rotten Confucian who was just a cloud of people.

"What is a thief, sir?"

Mu Jing had a good temper, and he was not provoked by Jiang Lu's temper, he just asked indifferently.

"The Yellow Turban Rebellion, the disaster in the world, hundreds of people were displaced, so they died, this is a sin, the perpetrators are thieves, and you resist the tyranny of the imperial court, but burn, kill and loot ordinary people, isn't it the act of thieves?"

Jiang Lu asked rhetorically.

"Then let me ask you again, sir, why is this the Yellow Turban Rebellion back then?"

Mu Jing smiled coldly: "Is it the fault of the great sage and good teacher, or our fault, don't we want to live a quiet life at sunrise, who is difficult to lick the blood on the knife and is forced to this step, because we can't live anymore!" ”

"You said that the yellow scarf is a thief, that's right, you're right, we are thieves!"

"But what we want to steal, what we want to rob, it's not money, it's just a peace, who can give it to us, the court?"

Mu Jing's words rose with momentum, and when it came to argumentation, he would not lose to anyone, as long as it was not explicitly endorsed, he was also a college student with a full stomach, and he had analyzed this history countless times.

"This young man's words are so sharp, he must not be a person who is unlearned, I didn't expect that the anti-thief Mushan would have such a unicorn!"

Jiang Lu's face was very gloomy, his eyes flashed with a complicated light, looking at this scrappy young man, there was an inexplicable trace of weakness in his heart.

He is not a man who reads books.

He has his own vision, knowledge and judgment.

The Yellow Turban Rebellion, he has found countless reasons, he can think that Zhang Jiao bewitched the people, but the reason for the mediocrity of the imperial court cannot be avoided in it.

But he just doesn't want to admit it.

Because he is a scholar, the Confucian principle, the monarch is a minister, and the minister is not suspicious of the king, which is a big disrespect.

"Sir, even if we take 10,000 steps back, we are thieves!" Mu Jing continued: "Is Mr. unwilling to teach us because of this, Zi said, there is no class to teach, Mr. is full of poetry and books, don't you know what it means? ”

"Is there a class to teach?"

When Jiang Lu heard this, his breath was slightly suffocated.

This is a sentence from the Analects, Mu Jing refuted him with this, he had nothing to say, after all, he could not refute the scriptures left by the sage, otherwise he would be spurned by the people in Shilin and would not be able to gain a foothold in Shilin.

"Childe, the water is ready, please drink water!"

At this time, the child Tong Jiang San came out of the small kitchen not far away, holding a pot of boiling hot water in his hand, holding two tattered porcelain bowls, pouring two cups of water, and handing one to Mu Jing, interrupting the somewhat stiff atmosphere between the two sides.

"Really sensible!"

Mu Jing touched the child's head with a smile and said admiringly.

"San'er, come back!" Jiang Lu didn't dare to let his children get too close to the young master of the thief's den.

"Oh!"

The child, Jiang San, obediently returned to his father's side, stood beside his father, and looked at the young man in front of him who was much older than him with some curiosity.

"Sir, this time I came with sincerity!"

Mu Jingdao: "Back then, the Yellow Turban Uprising, no one can say right or wrong, but the Yellow Turban Army failed, we bear this result, our parents are thieves, this is unchangeable, unless we can overthrow the imperial court, but our generation of teenagers, but we don't want to be called thieves, we have a heart to be good, I don't know if Mr. is willing to teach or not!" ”

"Do you have a heart for good?" Jiang Lu was suspicious and smiled coldly.

"No one is born willing to be a thief!"

"But thieves are hard to change!"

"It's hard to change doesn't mean that it can't be changed, it depends on Mr.'s ability, or is Mr.'s so-called verbal argument just to fool some scholars, and he has no ability to teach people knowledge and guide people to goodness?"

"How much ability a certain family has, a certain family knows in their hearts, you don't need to provoke a certain family!" Jiang Lu snorted coldly: "A certain family doesn't eat this set!" ”

"Then Mr. didn't have the courage to come to our Jingping Village?"

"Don't do bad things in a certain life, don't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door in the middle of the night, you can't go anywhere, just Jingping Village, even if I go, you can bear me!"

"Did you agree?" Mu Jing reacted quickly.

"Mu Gongzi, you have tricked me?" Jiang Lu's expression trembled slightly, and his eyes became a little jealous when he looked at Mu Jing.

"Mr. is talented, there are few in the world, I am naturally stalked, and I can't let it go!"

"I need to think about it!"

Jiang Lu said in a deep voice.

It is undeniable that Mu Jing brought up one thing that attracted him.

He thinks he is a very stylish reader, who can withstand oppression, withstand injuries, and resist temptation, but he has the weakness of a reader.

Scholars have a good name, and many readers are willing to give their names to their reputation, which is to leave their names in history rather than bend their waists for five buckets of rice.

If it is really as Mu Jing said, their generation of yellow turban teenagers has a heart for goodness, if he can teach and guide him, he will definitely be able to leave a heavy mark in history in the future, which is a dream of a scholar.

"Then I'll wait for Mr. in Jingping Village!"

Mu Jing stood up and bowed: "It's already afternoon, Mr. should still have class, so I won't bother Mr., I will say goodbye first, as for this gift, I think Mr. will like it, if Mr. doesn't like it, then abandon it out of the wilderness!" ”

After speaking, he walked out, and Tan Zong followed behind him and walked out as well.

After the two walked out of the door, Mu Jing stood up and looked back at the hut, a playful smile on the corner of his mouth.

Tan Zong asked in a low voice: "Young master, this person has such a hard temper, and regards us as thieves, and has always had to distinguish the line with us, will he agree?" ”

"No!"

Mu Jing said indifferently: "His eyes tell me that the so-called consideration is just an expedient measure, and he will not agree to what I want!" ”

He had seen countless such statements in the mall, and he could tell the truth from the false at a glance.

This Jiang Lu seems to be unwilling to go along with him.

"Then the young master is still so polite to him?" Tan Zong's face was solemn, and he said, "I'll kill him!" ”

"Kill him, you go and compensate me a scholar!"

Mu Jing was a little angry.

Only by reading can you be reasonable, and reading is open to long knowledge, so the officials who have been officials in these years are basically scholars, and a person who does not know a few big words may be able to charge into battle as a pioneer general, but he can't be a small county order.

Therefore, the reading talent will be superior.

Why is this era called the era of wealthy families, because the wealthy families control eighty percent of the world's scholars by inheriting knowledge, and control most of the officials in the world.

Mu Jing can't help it, what he wants to do can't be done by some reckless people, he must find some people who have read books to do it, but the people who have read books in Jingping Village can count them on one hand, and most of them are some readers who only know a few words.

So now he is a little concerned about Liu Bei's grievances in the thatched house.

Talented people are all so arrogant.

"Didn't the young master say that he wouldn't agree?"

"Whether he willingly agrees or refuses unwillingly, since I have taken a fancy to him, he must become a member of my martial arts hall, otherwise, I would rather destroy him!" Mu Jing's character has always been so domineering, which will achieve his achievements in his previous life.

"Brother Tan, you go and help me do two things!" Mu Jing said in a deep voice.

"Please be less in charge!"

Tan Zong's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly surrendered his hand.

Mu Jing bowed his head to his ear and said a few words carefully: "You go to find the ...... in the city Then you asked Lei Hu to take a few people to wait outside the city, and as soon as you saw him out of the city, he immediately took him back to Jingping Village. ”

"Got it!"

Tan Zong took the order and went quickly.

……

In the thatched hut, under the banyan tree.

"Gifts?"

Jiang Lu looked at the big red brocade box, pondered for a while, or opened the brocade box, there was no gold and silver in the brocade box, which could be regarded as his impression of Mu Jing a little better, if Mu Jing smashed him with gold and silver wealth, he would not be a bird.

"Dad, these are all books!" The child Tong Jiang San flipped through the pages, and there were a total of four books.

"Yes!"

Jiang Lu looked at these books, flipped through them gently, and looked at some of the contents, his face that had been tense relaxed, and the corners of his eyes couldn't help but show a look of excitement, and said with some sighs: "Dong Gong's personal annotation of "Spring and Autumn", the only one in the world, is the only one among the only books, and these three, "Qiao's Shangshu" is the experience of Qiao Gong reading the book, which is extremely precious, Dongfang Shuo's "Difficult to Answer Guests" in the world only Cai Gong has a unique book, this should be a rubbing, but even if it is a rubbing, There are not many in the world, I didn't expect him to get it, and this "Zhou Li", hidden in the world, there is not much, I used to want to read, but it is difficult to read, it is rumored that the Zhu family has a copy in his hand, if I guess correctly, this is all they copied the Zhu mansion to get! ”

This gift was given to him, and he was a little in a dilemma.

He didn't want to go to Jingping Village, the real reason was that he didn't want to get involved in the battle between the Yellow Turban Army and the Shi clan, such a struggle was too cruel, and his identity, as a scholar from a poor family, had an extraordinary reputation among Shilin, and if he joined the camp, it would be a lifelong thing.

It is against morality to accept this gift.

But it doesn't ......

He was not reconciled.

What he asked for for a long time and couldn't ask for, fell from the sky, and he was reluctant to throw it away.

The so-called reader, is the reputation of reading, he is a poor scholar, reading a book is too difficult, when he was a child, the knowledge was stolen, he worshipped a rural half-hung reader as a teacher in his youth, most of the classic books in the world are in the hands of the wealthy family, he is high-minded, unwilling to bow his head, naturally not read many books.
