Meng Yi listened to the ridicule of Li Jing by a group of scholars, angry and angry, and said in his heart how could he comment on a person's reputation with his career and merit, but he couldn't find a reason to refute it for a while, and his face turned red as an apple in anger.

When Mr. Suiyuan saw that his apprentice was like this, he couldn't get past it, so he said, "This Li Jing's person, has he ever written any poems?" If there is, you might as well say it and everyone will taste it. ”

Everyone heard Mr. Suiyuan say this, and then echoed: "If you are really talented and famous, there must be poems that have been circulated in the world, and you must have read this son's masterpiece by your friends, you might as well read one or two poems for everyone to appreciate and see if you can really do it." ”

When Meng Yi heard this, he opened his mouth, and he wanted to read out the poem that Li Jing read that day, but after thinking about it, the poem he read on that day was contrary to common sense, and I was afraid that he would be attacked by various attacks, and the people sitting here represented almost all the scribes in Donghu County. If Li Jing has ambitions and fame in the future, these people may become an obstacle to him.

Just as he was hesitating, Mr. Xiling sneered: "If you are really talented, how can you not even have poems." It's better to send it away quickly, don't disturb today's poetry meeting. ”

"I heard him improvise a poem below, but this poem is a bit shocking, I'm afraid you won't be able to accept it."

When Meng Yi heard Mr. Xiling say this, a wave of anger rose in his heart, and he couldn't help blurting out the above words.

Her words aroused everyone's interest, and even Zhang Shao'an, the owner of this room who lacked interest, was also interested, "Since there are poems, read them and listen to them, is it better than Mr. Suiyuan." ”

Meng Yi was in a dilemma at this time, and finally gritted his teeth and read Li Jing's poem, "Life is precious, and love is more valuable." If it is free, both can be thrown. ”

Mr. Suiyuan's eyes couldn't help but light up, and he liked this kind of poem that released his true temperament very much.

The others showed a look of disdain, and one named Wu Youwei sneered: "How can this person be born with his evil nature to make such a crooked poem." ”

Another Xiucai named Zhang Kang echoed: "Since ancient times, there has been a saying about poetry and words, and when I look at this poem, I can judge that this son is not a person who governs the country by Confucianism, but a Taoist vain person." ”

Meng Yi also thought that this poem would be refuted by everyone, but he never expected it to escalate to a dispute over Taoism. If Li Jing was buttoned up with such a big hat, he wouldn't want to mix in the ranks of Han civil officials who respected Confucianism in the future.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but say: "Friend Zhang's words are too heavy. ”

Zhang Kang sneered: "It's better to say it lightly. Just look at the meaning of his poems, life is the cheapest, and my Confucianism has always had the saying that 'life is precious'; what kind of false 'freedom' does he think is the most important, and this is very contrary to my Confucianism's 'monarchy, ministers, and ministers, and general ethics', and is it the virtue that our generation of scholars should have. ”

Meng Yi didn't know much about the scriptures, and when he met people who ate on these things to debate, it was tantamount to looking for death. When he was talking, Mr. Sui Yuan suddenly spoke, "Since everyone has a lot of opinions about Li Jing, why don't you invite him in and question him face to face." ”

Meng Yi saw that the scholars who were going to kill Li Jing were about to say something to stop them, and they didn't want to start preventing Li Jing from entering the door, but now they reversed themselves and echoed Mr. Suiyuan's words.

Zhang Shaoan nodded, and ordered the subordinates who were serving on the side to invite Li Jing.

Seeing this, Meng Yi was helpless, so she could only secretly pray that Li Jing would not be sprayed to death by the saliva of the scholars.

Fourth Master Qiao on the side saw Meng Yi's worries, and comforted him in a low voice: "You don't have to care, don't you say that Li Jing is not like me from the Qing Dynasty, maybe something interesting will happen!" I think that's what Mr. Suiyuan thinks. ”

When Meng Yi heard this, she couldn't help but look at Mr. Suiyuan, and saw the expectant look on his face, which confirmed Qiao Siye's words.

At this time, Li Jing waited outside the gate for nearly half an hour, feeling irritable for no reason, he looked at the sky, "Damn, it's almost time for lunch, why hasn't anyone come out to deliver the message." ”

Li Jue was also a little impatient, "Big brother, why don't we give the copied Diamond Sutra to that sect, let's go back!" ”

When Li Jing heard this, he narrowed his eyes and looked at the door.

When the man saw Li Jing's eyes, he was so frightened that he shrank his neck back, not daring to look out of the door.

At this time, a family member walked out of the gate and shouted at Li Jing and Li Jue who were standing at the door: "Which of you Li Jing, my lord is invited." ”

Li Jing saw that the family Ding looked arrogant, he was angry, and he didn't answer, he nodded at Li Jue and motioned for him to follow him in, and strode towards the gate.

After saying the above words, the family saw that there was no answer, and was wondering that this was unreasonable, thinking that the Li Jing who had attracted the scolding of the scholars had already left, and the two people standing outside the gate were just the subordinates of the scholars who came with them.

When he was suspicious, he saw Li Jing and Li Jue walking towards the gate, and subconsciously stopped the two of them, "What are you doing?" ”

Li Jing didn't bother to pay attention to him, and pointed to the door, which seemed to mean that he would explain, you help grandpa and I explain.

The man was beaten, and he saw Li Jing's ruthlessness again, so he beat an abrupt one in his heart for no reason, and a smile appeared on his frightened face, and he stepped forward and said to the family: "Brother Sun, this, this person is Li Jing." ”

The family was stunned for a moment, and then said to Li Jing: "I just called you, why shouldn't you?" ”

Li Jing pursed his lips, "What kind of thing are you, dare to talk to your master like this?" ”

The family was taken aback, looked Li Jing up and down, and saw that he was only sixteen years old, and his clothes were extremely shabby, and he knew that he was a poor boy at a glance, so he couldn't help sneering: "Look at your poor and sour appearance, you dare to call 'master'?" Really treat the word 'master' as, even a dog can bite it twice! ”

This time, it was Li Jing's turn to be stunned, he didn't expect this inconspicuous family in front of him to be so good at harming people.

Li Jing hasn't recovered from his mind yet, so Li Jue can't do it, he just saw his eldest brother show his might, and he was taught a lesson by his eldest brother, and he was thinking about how to behave in front of his eldest brother, but he didn't expect the opportunity to come so soon. So, he went around to Li Jing silently and punched the family in the face.

Although he is young, he usually eats a lot, and he is used to doing coolies, his strength is surprisingly great, and his strength is enough, this punch went down, only to see that Ding's two front teeth flew out of his mouth, and a mouthful of old blood almost sprayed on Li Jing's face.

Hmm——!

The family screamed, his body was unsteady, and he fell to the ground.

Li Jue's face turned pale with fright, although he had fought, he had never seen blood.

At this time, Li Jing walked up to Li Jue, patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Good job, this kind of guy who doesn't know how to respect people should be taught a lesson." This is the person who does great things, and this is my brother. ”

As he spoke, he stepped on the family who was about to get up, and said coldly: "In the future, show respect to the poor, don't take advantage of people, sooner or later you will be punished." ”

Hearing Li Jing say this, Li Jue's hanging heart let go again, anyway, he killed the eldest brother.

The family was stepped on so hard by Li Jing, and fell down again, snorted, and fainted.

Li Jing ignored the family and raised his eyes to look at the door.

Menzi was so frightened by Li Jing's look at it that he trembled, and he barely squeezed out a smile on his face, "Second master, the little one knows that he is wrong, and he will respect the poor in the future." ”

Li Jing nodded, "It's good to know that it's wrong, show the way for your master, and go to your master." ”

When the door heard this, he was startled, the big family is the most rules, and the gatekeeper is optimistic about the door, if he violates the rules, he will be beaten on the board, and he will be driven out of the house.

Menzi suddenly knelt down, "The second master spares the little one, if I violate the rules set by the master, he and the second master will definitely be kicked out by the master if he takes it to the master, and then my family will have no way to live." ”

In the middle of the Qianlong period, the population grew dramatically, and land and grain were increasingly concentrated in the hands of a small number of landlords and Manchus. The common people are as cheap as the grassroots, and there was a strange incident in Xiayi, Henan, where a child was sold for 240 Wen, which was unimaginable in other prosperous times of the Chinese Dynasty. According to the current grain price and the current grain price, it is equivalent to about 50 to 70 yuan.

There will definitely be no land or much money for the big families, and the competition in the outside society is very fierce, and it is hard to imagine what else can be done after being kicked out.

Li Jing is not an unreasonable person, he beats people out of a kind of ruffian spirit developed when he was a soldier, most of those who have been soldiers will have this habit, when the other party does not respect you or insults you in person, they will not help but give the other party two punches.

However, when they see poor people or people in danger, they will help these people without hesitation, even if it is at the cost of their lives, this is a soldier, they have both shortcomings and indelible advantages.

This characteristic has been perfectly embodied in Li Jing, he saw that Menzi said pitiful, he felt a little unhappy, helped him up, and said lightly: "Okay, I won't embarrass you." Don't kneel down to people casually in the future, you know? ”

When Menzi heard him say this, his face suddenly showed joy, and he couldn't stop nodding.

At this moment, Steward Wang walked out with a few black-clothed men, and it turned out that a subordinate in the mansion saw that Li Jue had beaten that family, so he went to report to Steward Wang.

After Steward Wang found out, he came out with a few black-clothed men, and when he saw that it was Li Jing again, he couldn't help frowning, "Why don't you young man know what to do, I let you go last time." You cut inch by inch, and beat another subordinate on our house. Do you want to rebel and be a purr! ”

Li Jing sneered in his heart, Lao Tzu was ready to do this, and said: "The old gentleman can eat things indiscriminately, but he can't talk nonsense." It was your dad who came to invite me in. But this messenger saw that I was dressed in shabby clothes and insulted each other, so he beat him. ”

Steward Wang didn't know about his old man Li Jing, and when he heard Li Jing say this, he couldn't help but be stunned, and hurriedly called a big man in black to report and ask if it was true.

After a while, the big man turned back, and there was another family member with him.

It turned out that Zhang Shao'an and his group saw that Li Jing had not arrived for a long time, so they ordered another subordinate to urge, and happened to meet the black-clothed man who went to confirm.

Steward Wang saw that there was indeed something going on, and he thought that the unlucky family who was beaten might have scolded others like Menzi, and it was not easy to pursue it, so he let another subordinate who came to lead Li Jing lead Li Jing and Li Hao away.

The subordinate didn't seem to care how many people there were on the other side, he just led the way, walked through the front yard, and soon came to the 'Qiu Yan Pavilion'.

Li Jing couldn't help but feel curious when he saw the crowd of people not far in front of him, and asked the subordinate: "This big brother, what is the house doing, why are so many people gathered?" ”

The guy was like a stuffy gourd, and only replied, "You'll know when you arrive." And he did not speak.

When he got closer, Li Jing found several old men sitting around a stone table, surrounded by a group of scholars in Confucian robes, and Meng Yi was among them.

Outside of this group, there were more than a dozen people dressed in short beats.

These people are looking at him and Li Jue without exception, as an excellent special soldier, observing the surrounding environment is one of the compulsory courses, he can feel that most people are hostile to him, and he can't help but scold in his heart, Nima, I just came to return the scriptures, by the way, I helped the old lady quit her job, to see if I can get back a little money for copying books and my wife's salary, as for making it like a public trial conference?

He cursed in his heart and walked closer.
