Liu Linzong's brows furrowed slightly, and he also found that Liu Yu noticed Yang Linzi's action, and said with a smile: "Liu Lizheng, this friend of mine, is a bit clean, I'm sorry." ”

Liu Yu hooked the corners of his mouth: "It's okay, the difference between the shishu, the high and the low, is the norm in the world, but I didn't expect Mr. Yang to be such a fairy-like person, and it is inevitable that this is the case, Mr. Liu, please do it." ”

Liu Linzong nodded, clasped his fists and saluted: "See you again!" ”

When everyone's figures disappeared into the distance, Xu Xianzhi walked over and said hatefully: "These people are really too disrespectful, can't they touch the things we touch?" Hmph, looking at the white-clothed Xiushi eating crabs, I thought he was a living immortal, but I didn't expect it, it's just a ............."

Liu Yu shook his head: "Okay, there are no cold people at the door, no scholars at the bottom grade, people and us, they are heaven and earth, and if we are entangled in these, we will only ask for trouble." ”

Xu Xianzhi sighed: "Brother Liu, haven't you always wanted to wait for the northern scholars?" Although these two people are businessmen written on the road guide, they must be the Gaomen family of Jiangdong, why don't you run up and ask? Or are you afraid of humiliation? ”

Liu Yu shook his head: "It's not a matter of self-inflicted humiliation. It's just that these two people are obviously Jiangnan scholars, but they want to hang the name of a businessman, do you think that those who came to Beijing at this time are really here to enjoy the mountains and rivers? Speaking of this, a gleam flashed in his eyes, "There is a famous hall in the middle!" ”

Xu Xianzhi's eyes widened, and he said strangely: "Famous? What's famous? I think that Yang Linzi is a little arrogant, compared to the Diao Gongzi I saw today, it is good. ”

Liu Yu's brows furrowed: "Diao Gongzi? Is it the new son of the Diao Kui family? ”

Xu Xianzhi nodded: "Well, I heard that it is Diao Kui's younger brother, I don't know what the name is, it should be correct." Because, I saw Liu Yi leading the way in front. ”

The corners of Liu Yu's mouth hooked: "Liu Yi Liu Xile?" Isn't he engaged in the state (a subordinate official of the governor of the state and county, a clerk who runs errands), a dignified official, and a scholar, it is really embarrassing to lead the way for a younger brother who is a thorn! ”

Xu Xianzhi said with a smile: "Zhuge Kongming once married Nanyang, and Xie Xianggong also had a time when he lived in seclusion in Dongshan!" Like Liu Yi, he tends to be inflammatory, sharpens his head and wants to make friends with scholars to climb up, lead horses and whips for the people of the state officials' families, and his reputation among scholars is ruined. Even if you can mix with a petty official first, your future development will be very limited. ”

Liu Yu shook his head: "It's a pity, it's a pity, Liu Xile is also a person with real talent and learning, so he was mixed like this." However, in the future, our Jingkou Town will be difficult to find peace. ”

Xu Xianzhi's face changed: "What does it mean to be uneasy?" What ability does Diao Kui have to change this Jingkou Town? There were so many high-ranking families who came out of the town to Jingkou before, isn't it just like that? ”

Liu Yu sighed: "It's different, in the past, the Wang family, the Xi family, and the Huan family went out of the town of Jingkou to recruit people here, the Northern Expedition to the Central Plains, and make contributions." Coupled with the fact that this place is so close to Jiankang, these people don't want to cause trouble here and provoke a civil uprising. Here, they will leave after a few years of official work at most, and they will not buy industry, so they will not have too many contradictions with the people of Jingkou. ”

But the Diao family is different, although his family is not a first-class family, it is notoriously greedy. Diao Kui's grandfather Diao Xie has a reputation as a loyal minister of the founding of the country, and for so many years, although the Diao family has not been able to hold any important positions in the DPRK and China, he has been wantonly looting in the places where he works, buying industries extensively, and leaving a notoriety of the Diao family wherever he goes. ”

"Xianzhi, you also know that those northerners have no land, and after coming here, they can only live and work on the public fields of the imperial court."

"Unless they are soldiers and can be deducted from taxes, otherwise, the tax of three hundreds of rice per person per year is not something they can afford when they are newcomers. Diao Kui was afraid that he took a fancy to this, so he asked for an errand out of the town. ”

Xu Xianzhi suddenly realized: "I see! But then again, do you think the two people who came just now will be high-ranking families like the Wang family, the Xie family, the Yu family, and the Xi family? ”

Liu Yu smiled slightly: "It's hard to say, let's take a step and see a step." But just now I offended Diao Gongzi, others are afraid of his Diao family, I'm not afraid! Jingkou is not a place where they can do whatever they want, if they are bullied, they have to endure it, is it still a Jingkou man? ”

Xu Xianzhi shook his head: "They can't bully you now, but those newcomers from the north are estimated to be difficult to fight against them, and the three families who left just now are afraid that they will be unlucky." ”

Liu Yu's brows furrowed: "No, since they have come to our Jingkou, they are our Jingkou people, we can't watch them being bullied!" I'm going to the Assassin's Mansion now. ”

A trace of doubt flashed in Xu Xianzhi's eyes: "What are you doing here?" Nosy? Not to mention that you are just a small Lizheng, even if you can protect a few today, can you still protect them every day? Besides, when these people come to Jingkou, they always have to survive and find something to do, do you have something to let them do? ”

Liu Yu gritted his teeth: "The imperial court has its own laws and disciplines, and the exiles have their own ways to settle them, I can't let them be deceived and become his servants of the Diao family!" If the newcomers are treated like this, then in less than two years, this Jingkou will really become his surname Diao! ”

As he spoke, he turned and strode toward the south.

The sound of the waves is still the same, and the ferry, which was still full of people just now, gradually calmed down.

The entrance of the capital is not big, and the county where the Thorn Mansion is located is a small county town, and the loess city wall is more than one zhang high, and the total is only four or five miles long, so that there are not many residents in the city, a few ordinary alleys, and a few slanting grass trees.

Liu Yu walked like a fly, walking quickly on the road of this small city paved with bluestone slabs, and from time to time there were shopkeepers and acquaintances in the shops on both sides to greet him, but he ignored it and walked straight in the direction of the county guard's mansion.

Because, he had vaguely seen that there were many people gathered outside the lobby, stretching their necks to look in, obviously something had happened.

In a wine shop with the brand name "Linjiang Xian" that Liu Yu walked by, on a private seat with a wide view on the second floor, Yang Linzi and Liu Linzong, who had just left the ferry, knelt opposite each other and sat on two couches.

On the small table in front of them, a pot of green plum wine was boiling over a warm fire, and the aroma of the wine was overflowing, mixed with the taste of two plates of fresh fish tart, which made people's appetite move.

And Liu Linzong's gaze followed Liu Yu on the road outside the window, and moved to the Thorn History Mansion dozens of steps away, and he smiled slightly: "It seems that there is a good show to be staged." ”
