On the boat from Hefei to Hangzhou, Wang Feng and Wang Yu leisurely stroked the lost and recovered property, full of joy. Although this is only fifty or sixty percent of the stolen property, it has shrunk a lot, but it is of great significance, after all, it has saved face and brought out the resentment in my heart.

This is a two-story boat, with more than 100 guests up and down, Wang Feng and Wang Yu sitting upstairs by the window. Soon after the boat sailed, the second deception opened the baggage, took beef jerky and roast chicken to eat, Wang Yu took out a small jar of wine from his pocket, the two chatted while eating, Wang Yu asked: "Brother, do you know what is interesting in Hangzhou?" ”

Wang Feng said while eating chicken legs: "It's much more fun." ”

"I heard that the scenery of West Lake in Hangzhou is pleasant," Wang Yu said, "and when I get to Hangzhou, I will visit the West Lake first." ”

Wang Feng said: "You only know the West Lake, in fact, Hangzhou has countless scenic spots, Lingyin Temple is burning incense, Yuewang Temple is elegant and deep, Xianghu Lake is shining, nine streams and eighteen streams are verdant, Hangzhou City is shoulder to shoulder, bustling, a single Hangzhou city is enough for you and my brother to play for three or five months." By the way, I heard that the great sage Fang Qing has taught Confucianism in Jiuxi and Eighteen Streams for more than 20 years, and no one in Jiangsu and Zhejiang is disrespectful, it is a Confucian holy land. ”

Wang Yuqi said: "The great sage Fang Qing I know that he is a senior disciple of Zhang Ying, Zhang Li, and Zhang Huan, the three heroes of the Zhang family in Zhejiang. It's just that you haven't been to Hangzhou, how can you be so familiar with the geography of Hangzhou? ”

Wang Feng grinned and said: "I am a showman, not famous, and I can know the world." ”

Wang Yu saw that his brother was so proud, and immediately poured cold water and said: "You know so much that it is useful, I only need to be proficient in one line, digging out the heart, with this technique, walking all over the world is like a leisurely stroll." ”

"Yes, proficient in the art of digging out your heart, going south and north to defraud people of money, that's effortless," a voice came from the side.

Wang Feng and Wang Yu were greatly surprised, and when they looked back, they saw Lu Qi walking over with a bottle of chrysanthemum wine and a smile.

Oops, I was followed, and the second cheater was secretly surprised.

Wang Yu instinctively put the treasure he had just tricked back into hiding under the table.

"How can you have chrysanthemum wine in this yellow soup, come, drink mine," Lu Qi seemed to see an old friend, and naturally sat down opposite the two kings, picked up Wang Yu's unfinished wine jar and put it on the ground, and gently pushed the Moutai Spring he brought in front of Wang Yu.

"Those who stalk others are dirty, those who eavesdrop on others are despicable, those who come uninvited are shameless, and we do not welcome dirty, despicable, and shameless people," Wang Feng said coldly and unhurriedly, giving a cold ass to the smiling Lu Qi.

"What about Liujia, Zhangchuan, and Qiuguang? Let's show up together," Wang Yu said impatiently, his expression was cold, and his face was fearless.

Although Wang Feng and Wang Yu are not good at martial arts, they have traveled south and north, mixed in the rivers and lakes for many years, and also have some means, so they are not afraid.

Lu Qi heard this, knowing that they saw themselves as a gang with Liujia, Zhangchuan, and Qiuguang, and it was no wonder that they stole the things of the two kings, and now the things appeared in the hands of the three of Liujia, the two kings naturally had this suspicion, didn't they also see the two cheats in Putian and the three cheats in Hefei as a gang before? Perhaps, at this time, Liujia and the two kings will also regard me and the two kings as a raccoon dog!

Lu Qi said with a smile: "Brother Wang Feng is reasonable, but unfortunately he has missed a lot, those who sneak into the room of the "Return of the Guest" inn are dirty, those who peep at the two tickets are despicable, and those who steal music in front of the three big kings are shameless when they see others being deceived. ”

Wang Feng and Wang Yu were shocked, but he didn't expect that Lu Qi had secretly entered the inn room where he lived, and had already found his own ticket, and what was even more terrifying was that he actually saw that he had deceived the three of Liujia.

"You're not an accomplice?" The Wang brothers said in unison.

Lu Qi smiled, "I'm not afraid of the two jokes, I stole all your treasures and was blackmailed by the three of them, and I was looking for a chance to punish them, but I didn't expect you to deceive the baby back, this is good, the thing is returned to the original owner, the story has a perfect ending, hahaha, providence." ”

"Oh? The perfect ending? I'm afraid the story isn't over yet," Wang Feng said lukewarmly.

"Did you say you came here just to congratulate us?" Wang Yu scoffed.

Luffy sighed: "After this experience, Luffy deeply feels that ill-gotten wealth cannot last long, I have never slept peacefully since I stole your belongings, and I am not sure to carry these many treasures on my back every day, and in the end I still fall short." Liu Jia, Zhang Chuan, and Qiuguang deceived me with good intentions, but in the end, they were not as happy as me? As for you, you first deceived me with the purple gold bowl, and you never thought that I would take revenge, and the gains outweighed the losses. Now that things are returned to their original owners, who said that it is not providence? ”

Wang Feng and Wang Yu were still on guard, and Lu Qi sighed and said, "Alas! I wanted to come and make friends, but I didn't want to bluff the two of them like great enemies, so Lu Qi said goodbye and was disturbed. ”

"Ha, joke, who was our brother afraid of?" Wang Yu took out the box hidden under the table and put it on the table and said: "Brother Qi, since you invited my brother to drink, how can we eat you for nothing, I will go to the kitchen to pick up a few good dishes, and I will get drunk with you today." ”

Wang Feng secretly thought, in this cabin, you Lu Qi will not dare to steal, and said: "Yes, Brother Lu Qi wait a minute, my brother and I will come when we go." ”

After Wang Jia'er deceived away, Lu Qi glanced at the wooden box and wondered secretly: "These two brothers are also quite bold, how can I be a dignified thief behind you two liars?" So he sat there, not glancing at the wooden box.

After a while, the second deception really brought a roast pig's feet, a plate of peanuts, and a plate of mutton, and the three of them drank heartily, as if they had been separated from their best friends for a long time. When it was dark, the three of them were drunk and slept on the table and in their clothes.

After more than ten days of eating and drinking like this, after the boat arrived at the Xingchang Wharf in Hangzhou, Lu Qi got off the boat to go, and Wang Yu shouted behind him: "Tomorrow, my brothers and I will enjoy the autumn in the West Lake, why don't you go?" Lu Qi turned around and said, "It's okay, where will we meet at West Lake." Wang Yu said with a smile: "The broken bridge is the place where the white lady of the Xu Immortal Society, how about you and I meet on the broken bridge tomorrow, haha." Lu Qi laughed and said, "Very good, tomorrow the bridge will be broken." ”

The next day, the West Lake broke the bridge, and the strange and the wind and Hugo really broke the bridge.

The three of them chatted as they walked, and Lu Qi told the two kings about his experience in Luoshan, and the two kings recalled the story of Lu Qi cheating everywhere, and the three of them talked very closely. When he walked to the foot of the Lei Feng Pagoda, Lu Qi stared at the tower, thinking a lot, Wang Feng saw that Lu Qi had a mind, and asked, "What are you thinking?" Lucci shook his head sadly and did not answer. Wang Yu teased: "Brother, why do you need to ask more, he thinks about the white lady." Lu Qi said: "The White Lady is kind-hearted and eliminates harm for the people, but she was pressed under the Lei Feng Tower, my friend is upright, and he is in peace and goodness, and he was put on death row to be beheaded. ”

Wang Feng saw that Lu Qi looked sad, not like a disguise, and asked with concern: "Oh? What's wrong with your friend?" Wang Yu also said urgently: "How can your friend be peaceful and peaceful, and how can he be put on death row?" ”

Lu Qi originally thought that Tang Xi was insatiable and evil, and that he was a lackey of the government and Bai Wei, and hated him to the core, so when the beggar investigated the ghost killer, Lu Qi confessed that he had seen Tang Xi haunt the Dragon King Villa. Since learning the truth about Tang Xi's murder, Lu Qi is extremely remorseful, and he accidentally killed the life of a real hero.

When the second king asked, Lu Qi felt that it was his responsibility to publicize Tang Xi's heroic deeds.

"Can the two of you know about the Luoshan ghost killer case?" Lucci asked the two kings.

"You know, the head catcher Tang Xi disguised himself as a cowardly and fearful slippery ghost, his true face is a murderous killer, he pretended to be Wei Tuo and killed dozens of people, this matter is known to everyone in the world," Wang Yu said.

Lu Qi said indignantly: "That's all nonsense from the government, all the demons killed by Tang Zhutou are all demons in the rivers and lakes, there is no innocent person, these wicked people, the government ignores them, and allows them to do evil, Tang Zhutou is just making decisions for the people and implementing the way of heaven, what's wrong?" What is the sin? ”

Speaking of this, Lu Qi gritted his teeth and clenched his fists, as if he wanted to avenge Tang Xi.

Wang Feng said: "Tang Xi's murder, there have been rumors on the rivers and lakes for a long time, but there are different opinions, there is no consensus, the government and the people have their own rhetoric, Brother Qi, you can tell us in detail, and teach my brothers to know the real heroes." ”

Lu Qi was also willing to tell the story, the three of them found a remote wood, sat on two stone benches, Lu Qi killed Tang Jun by someone, Tang Xi secretly investigated, disguised as the god Wei Tuo to rob and kill the enemy and other evil people in detail.

After hearing this, the second king clapped his hands and sighed at Tang Xi's sentence of beheading. Seeing that Lu Qi was still sad, Wang Yu both comforted and ridiculed: "The world is reversed, black and white are not distinguished, the laws of the court are cowardly and incompetent, and the wicked are rampant and no one can control them." But it's a good thing to think about it the other way, if the law is strict and the court is strong, I'm afraid that the three of you and I are not here to swim in the West Lake, but to gnaw in the prison. ”

"As long as the world is good and the people are free from suffering, Lu Qi is willing to go to prison," Lu Qi said.

Wang Feng took over the topic and said: "Yes, in today's world, the official eunuchs are indifferent and ruthless, the merchants and hawkers are mercenary, the ruffians and hooligans are vicious and ruthless, and the poor people are hungry and cold. The imperial court turned a blind eye to this, but some people with lofty ideals stood in the wind, worked tirelessly, and sought a good way to govern the country, which was admirable and admirable. I heard that there are four great talents in the world: one is the Eastern Confucian Fang Qing, who is in Hangzhou; the second is South Flokong, in the lake Guangheng Mountain; the third is Wang Shan, who is the West Dao, who practiced in Heming Mountain, Sichuan; The last Cao Yin of the Northern Law heard that he had been expelled from the capital. ”

Lu Qi asked anxiously: "What is this Eastern Confucian Fang Qing of Hangzhou?" ”

Wang Feng said: "I just heard, it is said that Fang Young is only more than forty years old, but he is a great Confucian, he takes Hangzhou as the center, lectures in several surrounding provinces, teaches the way of benevolence and righteousness, and educates all people to be good." ”

Lu Qi suddenly thought, "Since the saint is right in front of us, why don't we visit?" ”

Wang Yu praised: "Okay, I want to see if he is a true saint full of wealth or a hypocrite who is in an uproar." ”

"If he's a hypocrite, I'll steal him penniless," laughed Luffy. Wang Yu was not to be outdone: "If he is a hypocrite, I promise to deceive him so that he only has one pants left." ”

The three of them laughed.

On the morning of the next day, Lu Qi, Wang Feng, and Wang Yu dressed lightly, talked and laughed along the way, and hurried to the nine streams and eighteen streams outside Hangzhou. The Great Sage Fang Qing has been receiving apprentices and lecturing here for many years, and many officials and celebrities from Jiangsu and Zhejiang have also come here. Today is the day of the lecture, so there is an endless stream of people who come to listen to the lecture on the mountain road, just like rushing to the market.

The three of them entered the mountain, and it was indeed a beautiful scenery, but they saw that the stream was clear, the woods were lush, the birds were singing and the flowers were fragrant, the roads were clean, and they were walking on the stone paths in the forest, and they were in a relaxed and comfortable mood. Walking and walking, I saw a small wooden house in an ancient pine forest in front of me, outside the wooden house there was a lawn that could accommodate six or seven hundred people sitting on the ground, in the middle of the grass there were many stones of different shapes and sizes standing in a disorderly manner, each stone stood one or two people, or sat three or four people, and there were also two or three hundred people sitting cross-legged on the grass, everyone was half-around the small wooden house, there was a large wooden board at the door of the wooden house, and one person sat cross-legged facing everyone, and there was a low wooden table on the right side of this person, on which several thick books were placed.

The three of Lu Qi guessed that Fang Qing was lecturing, and walked forward quickly, and there was indeed a wooden sign on the side of the road, and the arrow pointed to the log cabin in the forest, which read: "Fang Qing lectures on the scriptures". The three of them hurried along the path through the woods, into the meadow, and also sat down on the empty rock.

Fang Qing's face was delicate, his eyes were attentive, he was full of energy, he was wearing a cyan robe, and he looked elegant.

Coincidentally, what Fang Qing was talking about today happened to be a gentleman and a villain, and I saw him sitting cross-legged on the wooden board, smiling and talking.

"The sages advocate benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, wisdom, and faith, advocate gentlemen, despise villains, and dare to ask what is a gentleman? What is a villain? Fang Qing's voice was loud, his language was unhurried, and hundreds of listeners were silent.

Fang Qing said: "Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty, as the Ninth Five-Year Emperor, can investigate the suffering of prisoners, waste meat punishment, and benevolence. Zuo Botao and his friends went to seek officials together, and there was a lack of food and clothing in the mountains, so he would rather starve himself to death, save the food to help his friends achieve fame, and righteousness. Liu Zi Bird stays at the city gate at night, hugging the sleeping beauty without chaos, and the etiquette is also. Although Guan Zhong is old, he can distinguish the poison of Yiya boiling, the hypocrisy of erecting the palace from the palace, and the fake of abandoning the king, and wisdom. At the end, I dated someone under the tree, met the rising water, swore not to miss the appointment, hugged the pillar and died, and the letter was also. ”

"Professor Fang, what is a villain? Is it true that a person who lacks benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, wisdom, and faith is a villain? A teenager asked, standing up.

"Villains not only lack benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, wisdom, and faith. The villain wants to believe in himself for the sake of his birth, he wants to be loved by others for deceit, and he wants to be good to himself for the sake of animals. The villain is too greedy to do things, and he is not wise enough to be anticlimactic, and he can't last. Villains have existed since ancient times, and today they are the most widespread! In today's world, dishonesty, unrighteousness, lack of benevolence, disloyalty, and lack of manners are the bane of chaos in the world and poor people's livelihood! Fang Qing is lecturing here, just to hope that everyone will be gentlemen, and take benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and faith as the criterion, so that the world will return to peace and the people will be peaceful again."

One person got up and asked: "Professor Fang, in Xia Qiantang County, the main patrol and arrest post, under the law advocated by my great emperor, all the people are equal, and you are here to divide people into gentlemen and villains, causing people to have a hierarchy, and it seems inappropriate to secretly coincide with the old system of the former Yuan!" ”

Before Fang Qing could answer, another person brushed his sleeves and said: "The younger generation Xiao Zhongchun, who is a servant of Ningbo Mansion, as a member of the public family, is also the same as this Wen Si brother, admires the law of the Ming Dynasty, and foolishly thinks that the country is chaotic, and only the law can break the evil and establish righteousness, and clarify the universe. The younger generation is stupid, fortunately, don't be surprised. ”

Fang Qing said with a smile: "It turns out that the two of them are both public servants in the government, which is disrespectful. ”

Wen Si and Xiao Zhongchun thanked each other: "Don't dare." ”

Fang Qing said: "There is a difference between a gentleman and a villain, from ancient times to the present, all dynasties, how can it be that Fang Qing is separated?" Under the law, all the people are equal, and Fang Qing respects it, but the law is only used in court disputes, and cannot be extended to the righteousness of the rivers and lakes. Let me give you an example, if two beggars come to eat at home, and you give him the only steamed bun, and after a while another beggar comes, and you don't have steamed buns, and the beggar goes to the county government to accuse you of favoritism, saying that you discriminate against beggars under the law, two adults, if I am the county magistrate, and you say that I sentenced you to give the plaintiff a steamed bun according to the law? Or is it to judge beggars for being unreasonable with morality? ”

After Fang Qing finished speaking, the hall laughed loudly, Wen Si and Xiao Zhongchun looked at everyone left and right, very embarrassed.

Fang Qing said with a smile: "The law has the territory of the law, and the morality has the world of morality, and the two can complement each other and are irreplaceable." ”

Seeing that he was in an embarrassment, Xiao Zhongchun thought for a moment, got up and bowed and asked, "Professor Fang, how can I tell the difference between a gentleman and a villain?" ”

This is a simple question at first hearing, but complex when thinking about it, and Xiao Zhongchun asked this question with a faint taste of challenge.

Fang Qing calmly replied with a smile: "The ancient sages have already given the answer, first, the gentleman is not compared, and the villain is not thoughtful; second, the gentleman is in righteousness, and the villain is in profit; third, the beauty of a gentleman's adulthood, and the evil of a villain's adulthood; Fourth, gentlemen are harmonious but different, villains are the same but not harmonious; Fifth, the gentleman is frank and, and the villain is often a relative; Sixth, the gentleman asks for himself, and the villain asks for others. Gentlemen and villains are distinct, why is it difficult to identify? ”

Xiao Zhongchun asked again: "May I ask Professor Fang, do gentlemen and villains have something in common?" ”

"Of course there is, the gentleman does not admit that he is a gentleman, and the villain does not admit that he is a villain," the great Confucian also amused, and everyone laughed.

Xiao Zhongchun asked again: "Is there a difference between a hypocrite and a villain?" ”

Fang Qing replied: "Yes." The hypocrite is the villain inside, the gentleman outside, the villain is the villain on the inside, and the villain on the outside. Hypocrites often pretend to be good people, but good people often mistake him for a gentleman if they don't discern carefully. ”

Xiao Zhongchun asked, "What about the true gentleman and the pseudo-villain?" ”

Fang Qing replied: "There is also a difference, a true gentleman is a gentleman inside and outside, a pseudo-villain is a gentleman in his heart, and his external behavior is a villain." Sometimes, a gentleman has no choice but to cater to the world, pretending to be a villain, or to save the world, or to walk the whole body, or to walk in the world for the avenue, if you don't argue carefully, the world will also be mistaken for a villain. ”

Xiao Zhongchun asked, "Is there a difference between a true gentleman and a gentleman?" ”

Fang Qing replied: "Yes, a true gentleman is a gentleman of innate nature, and his high virtue comes from his nature; A gentleman is nurtured, and his high virtue is good at education. ”

Seeing that Xiao Zhongchun was about to run out of donkey skills, Wen Si got up again, bowed again, and made a difficulty: "Professor Fang is really rich and rich, Wen Si still has doubts and asks for advice, 'The way to establish a person, only benevolence and righteousness', right?" ”

Fang Qing replied: "This is the words in Ge Hong's book "Hug Puzi", which emphasizes the importance of benevolence and righteousness, which I think is in line with Confucian teachings and should be promoted. ”

Wen Si asked again: "Ge Hong said again: 'If you are benevolent, the law will not stand, and if you are widowed, you will invade the top. If there is more benevolence and righteousness, it will be an obstacle to the implementation of the law, and the result will be that the country will be chaotic, but can we still advocate benevolence and righteousness in this case? ”

Fang Qing replied: "'If you are benevolent, the law will not be established' means that you should not be too merciful when enforcing the law for officials, otherwise you will not be able to strictly enforce the law. For example, if a person kills someone and should be beheaded, if the official sees the prisoner crying and begging for mercy and releases him, of course, this is 'the law is not established'. But the benevolence advocated by Confucianism is the benevolence of the people, and if the people are benevolent and righteous, no one will break the law, wouldn't it be better? ”

"Zuo Biography" said: 'There is virtue in the Tai, followed by meritorious service, followed by speech, although it has not been abandoned for a long time, this is immortal, Confucianism advocates 'virtue, meritorious service, speech', Professor Fang is the great sage today, may I ask what is virtue? Or is it work? Or is it? Xiao Zhongchun sharply attacked again.

Fang Qing laughed loudly: "Lord Xiao is mistaken, Fang Qing is just a scholar, what kind of great sage, ashamed!" Ashamed! Fang Qing's virtue is shallow, his character is low, how can he be virtuous? Fang Qing has no power to restrain the chicken, and he has no talent in his chest, how can he make meritorious contributions? Fang Qing just admired the sages and used the books of the sages to spread virtue and righteousness, so how could he make a statement? However, in the autumn of the country's peril, when the people of the lofty ideals spilled their blood, now the world, the world lacks benevolence and less righteousness, thieves swarm, and the people are poor. On morality, merit, and speech, how can you compare with the two adults? ”

Xiao Zhongchun blushed and retreated, and Wen Si got up again and asked: "The sage Confucius traveled around the world, the official worshiped Sikong, the great Sikou, and the Lu Xiang, and then opened the museum to teach, famous all over the world, Professor Fang is knowledgeable and ambitious, why don't you follow the sage's precedent, become an official, and then seek his own affairs in his position, and promote Confucianism, which can not only make meritorious contributions and fame, but also profit and enrich himself, isn't it more meaningful than staying in this corner of the place to give lectures?" ”

Fang Qing said with a smile: "Contains morality, benevolence and righteousness, perfect behavior, and noble sentiments, this is very rich, why do you need to wear gold and silver?" Ambitious, broad-minded, aggressive, and indomitable, this is very noble, why do you need to add officials to the knighthood, and glorify your ancestors? Isn't it meaningful for Fang Qing to give lectures and preach here, preach benevolence and righteousness, praise propriety and faith, promote wisdom and loyalty, and be able to make some contributions to the world? If a thief, a liar, or even a murderer comes to listen to my lectures, as long as there is a shock in the heart, a restraint in the behavior, a good thought in the heart, a change in the past, and respect for benevolence and righteousness, isn't that a very meritorious thing? Therefore, although Fang Qing is poor, he has a peaceful heart, and in this corner of the place, he does not have the slightest sense of grievance. ”

Fang Qingcai was outstanding, and Lu Qi was excited when he heard it, and he shouted loudly, and couldn't help but applaud. When everyone present heard the applause, they all turned their eyes to Lucci, and then the applause was thunderous and cheers erupted. Seeing this, Wen Si and Xiao Zhongchun looked embarrassed, and although they were reluctant, they had to clap their palms with the crowd.

After Fang Qing finished teaching, everyone left one after another, and Weiqi, wind, and rain stood still.

There were already attendants packing up the tables, chairs and books, Fang Qing saw that there were three teenagers who were not leaving, so he came over with a smile, and Lu Qi, Wang Feng, and Wang Yu hurriedly greeted him. Fang Qing said: "The three teenagers are full of vitality, which academy must be students, right?" Lu Qi said with a guilty face: "Professor Fang, we are not students, we only came to be taught because we respect you." Fang Qing said: "What I am talking about is the essence of Confucianism in terms of morality, and the three are willing to come, which means that the three are seekers and good people." ”

"Haha, Professor Fang, he is the thief you just said," Wang Yu blurted out without concealment.

Wang Feng was shocked, glared at Wang Yu fiercely, and scolded: "Hugh jokes in front of Professor Fang," and said to Fang Qing: "Professor Fang Hugh wants to be weird, my brother loves to amuse." ”

Lu Qi smiled: "Professor Fang, I won't tell you, I am really a thief, that is, the villain you just said, I came to listen to your lecture today, and I insulted your reputation, I am really sorry!" ”

Fang Qing was slightly stunned, looked at the three energetic teenagers, his face was kind, and he said with a smile: "Didn't I say just now, a gentleman and a villain have in common that the gentleman does not admit that he is a gentleman, and the villain does not admit that he is a villain, and you say that you are a villain, which means that you are not a villain." ”

"No, I'm really a villain, this brother is not joking, to tell you the truth, I am a thief, the two of them are liars, the three of us came here, I didn't think I was different before, and after listening to your class today, I realized that what I did was a villain." Lucci's words were sincere, although slightly ashamed, but he was neither humble nor arrogant.

Wang Feng and Wang Yu laughed embarrassedly on the side.

"Oh, what a coincidence, I inadvertently said thieves and liars today, I really met thieves and liars, this is the fate of several of us, if the three of you don't dislike it, go to my cabin to sit and taste a mountain tea." Fang Qing sincerely invited.

Lu Qi and Wang Feng were surprised by Fang Qing's tolerance, they really didn't expect the Great Sage to be so sincere to thieves and liars.

"Okay, this house is so small, will you live here?" Wang Yu didn't care whether Wang Feng and Lu Qi agreed or not, and went into the cabin while talking.

In the cabin, the four of them sat around the square table, the attendant poured a cup of tea for each person, Fang Qing said: "There is always a misunderstanding in the world, thinking that a gentleman is clean and self-conscious, not greedy for money, sex, fame, and profit, and wrong!" In fact, gentlemen, like villains, love money, lust, pleasure, fame and fortune. The ancients said, 'Food, sex, and sex,' gluttony and lust are human nature, so what's wrong?' Therefore, it is not necessary for you young people to pursue pleasure, Fang Qing not only does not object, but also supports it very much. But the Three Laws should not be violated. ”

Lucci asked, "What are the three laws?" ”

Fang Qingdao: "The three rules of a gentleman are: love money and take it in a good way; greedy for sex, ask for courtesy; Benevolence and righteousness come first. Fang Qing thought that as long as you didn't break through these three rules, there would be no fault in any pursuit of wealth and pleasure. It is not right that you steal other people's property and deceive other people's property, which violates the three rules of the gentleman, but the fact that the three of you are willing to come to listen to my lecture shows that you yearn for high virtue and pursue light. I believe that you are the 'pseudo-villains' I just talked about. ”

"Or is it a villain?" Wang Yu teased with a sad face.

Fang Qing said with a smile: "The pseudo-villain makes people mistakenly think that they are villains, but they are still gentlemen in their bones, I hope that the three of you will make a pilgrimage to get rid of evil spirits and be a real gentleman from now on." ”

After hearing this, Lu Qi was moved, thinking that he had no money and no face to return to Luoshan, so it was better to follow Fang Qing for the time being, and then make plans in the future, so he stood up and knelt down neatly dressed and said solemnly: "Professor Fang, do you accept apprentices, Lu Qi is willing to always follow him and listen to your teachings." ”

Fang Qing smiled slightly, but the second king was greatly surprised.

"Hey, what are you going to eat if you don't steal?" Wang Yu** reminded Lu Qi nakedly.

Lu Qi said to the second king: "I have been a thief for seven or eight years, although I have had fun, but after eating and drinking, I am not happy in my heart, today I listened to Professor Fang's class, I found the reason, because these money are ill-gotten gains, ill-gotten wealth does not last long, I have been busy for so many years, and finally I have nothing. ”

After Lu Qi finished speaking, his eyes looked at Fang Qing, eagerly looking forward to the reply.

"Very good, you are willing to make a pilgrimage to get rid of evil spirits, congratulations, but I live a simple life here, you have to think about it," Fang Qing looked at Lu Qi eagerly.

"Don't be afraid, I can endure hardship." Lucci said firmly.

Fang Qing was overjoyed, helped Lu Qi up and said: "Okay, in the future, we will work together to promote Confucianism, promote benevolence and righteousness, and use Confucian holy teachings to arouse the goodwill in the hearts of the people, purify the hearts of the people, purify the people's customs, and rejuvenate China." ”

For Lu Qidi's decision, the two kings were extremely melancholy, but they were helpless.

Wang Feng Wang Yu was reluctant to leave the Nine Creeks and Eighteen Streams, Lu Qi sent him to the bottom of the mountain, Wang Feng said: "I really didn't expect you to make such a choice, but I'm still happy for you." Lu Qi said: "I hope you two brothers will stop deceiving people, worship under the saint like me, although life is harder, but your heart is steady." Wang Yu said: "You are a pseudo-villain, our brothers are real villains, and real villains can't enter the temple hall." ”

The second deception was about to leave, Lu Qi suddenly stopped and said: "Two, there is a matter that Lu Qi has to tell the truth, after you deceived Liu Jia, Zhang Chuan, and Qiuguang, I left a letter for the three of them, I wanted to humiliate them, but I inadvertently confided in our whereabouts, just in case, the two of you should leave Hangzhou as soon as possible." Wang Yu smiled: "Three deceptions and stupidity, Hangzhou City is so big, how can they find me?" I'll write to them as soon as I go back today, explaining the inn where we are staying, so that it will be convenient for people to come and find it, haha! ”

Lu Qi was shocked when he heard this: "Brother can't be reckless, if you really send a letter, this Hefei three fraudsters will definitely come to seek revenge." ”

Wang Yu waved his hand and changed the subject: "Don't worry about poverty, pseudo-villain, I'll send you wine and meat in a few days!" ”
