"Huh! What an arrogant boy, but an old man with a personality like you kid likes it. Don't ask who the old man is, the old man said that if he can call the shots, he can definitely call the shots, hum! Even if the old man can't be the master, naturally someone will be in charge, in short, today the two of you bet that since the old man has encountered it, it will be difficult to change. The old man's speech sounded very verbose, but his tone was extremely firm, and there was almost no room for Zhou Zhi and Liu Long to refute anything.

Liu Long naturally hoped to make a bet with Zhou Zhi this time, so he was stunned for a moment and said, "Since the old man came out to take care of things, then I, Liu Long, will believe you." Today, I made a bet with Zhou Zhi, and that's it. At that time, if anyone loses and does not fulfill the contract, please ...... at that time."

Before Liu Long finished speaking, the old man interrupted him and said, "You don't need to bother, the old man will naturally appear at that time!" ”

It is even more decisive.

Liu Long didn't say much, although he didn't know this old man, he had already judged that since this old man had such a big tone, he would definitely not be an ordinary person. Although Boye County is a small place, it is the only way for Zhending Mansion and southerners to go to Baoding Mansion or the capital. In Hakuno Prefecture, there are often unexpected big people. The old man in front of him was naturally a big man in Liu Long's mind.

Liu Long looked at the old man carefully, as if he wanted to remember the old man's appearance, and then bowed deeply to the old man and walked away.

In the courtyard of the inn, Xiao Fu and Gao Gongjia were still waiting for him, and after listening to Liu Long's account of what had happened, although the two of them were very surprised, they were also very excited and happy.

Xiao Fu and Gao Gongjia said almost in unison, "When Young Master Liu wins the little three yuan, he is as good-looking as the country boy Zhou Zhi." The most pity is that the old thing Liu Yu, this time it is going to be unlucky. The reputation is ruined, and that old thing may be! ”

"Haha!" The three of them laughed in unison and walked out of the inn slowly.

At this time, Zhou Zhi was already standing in front of the old man, and the old man with an unknown surname was inserted into a jar, which really annoyed Zhou Zhi.

This world is really a bit strange, everyone has it, and there are people who like to meddle with other people's affairs. The key is that he has never met this old man, and the old man is too idle and overbearing.

Qi Yanwu stood beside Zhou Zhi, and also glared at the old man.

The old man smiled indifferently and said, "Zhou Zhi boy, how can you hate the old man so much?" Then Liu Long's boy is gone, the old man might as well tell your old man's name and surname, and the old man's name is Liu Yi. ”

Zhou Zhi secretly thought, Liu Xuan? It seems that I have never heard of it in the history books of the Ming Dynasty. But since the old man can be Liu Yu's master, it has a lot to do with Liu Yu after all. Liu Xuan? Liu Yu? are all surnamed Liu, could it be that they are brothers?

Just as Zhou Zhi was thinking with a cold face, Liu Yi stroked his gray beard and said with a smile, "Zhou Zhi boy, Liu Long has already left, and the matter of your bet with him has been settled, what is the use of you still hating the old man so much at this time?"

Besides, the old man is old, don't you, a young man, know how to respect and treat the old man after reading so many books? ”

"You...... You're too domineering! Zhou Zhi still said so coldly.

Liu Yi didn't care, and said, "Maybe you haven't heard of the old man's name and surname, but now, Zhou Zhi boy, you come in and meet someone with me." The man you are going to see,...... Hehe! ”

Before Liu Xuan finished speaking, he made a mysterious appearance and turned back to the room.

Zhou Zhi went in behind him.

The opposite room was a crotch room, there were two rooms, the oil lamp in the back room was burning very strongly, and under the lamp sat an old man with crane hair and a childish face, and the old man must be at least eighty years old. Hearing the sound of footsteps, the old man suddenly opened his eyes, and a pair of eyes were very deep and shining.

The old man's gaze quickly caught Zhou Zhi, and immediately stared at Zhou Zhi, as if he wanted to see through everything about Zhou Zhi, and looked up and down.

Under the aggressive gaze of the old man, Zhou Zhi felt cold inexplicably, and somehow, the anger against Liu Yi just now disappeared in an instant.

The old man's first feeling to Zhou Zhi was that this person was too powerful, and the old man must be an extraordinarily shrewd person, and he could even be said to be an old man.

"Zhou Zhi boy, do you recognize him?" Liu Yi turned around, still asking Zhou Zhi with a smile.

At this time, Zhou Zhi disappeared because of the anger in his heart, and the old man opposite seemed to be born with a majesty that people had to admire. Zhou Zhi arched his hand and said, "The kid is clumsy, I really can't recognize it!" ”

"Huh! It's okay not to know him, but if you haven't heard of his name, then you shouldn't. His name is Wang Shu! Liu Yi then said.

It is said that it is through the crowd, and even at this time, the most ordinary people have heard of Wang Shu's name.

Wang Shuzi Zongguan, a native of Sanyuan, Shaanxi, was a virtuous minister in the middle of the Ming Dynasty.

In the thirteenth year of orthodoxy, Wang Shu was admitted to the Jinshi examination and was selected as a Shujishi. Later, he successively served as the left commentator of Dali Temple, the deputy of Dali Temple, the prefect of Yangzhou, the political envoy of Jiangxi, the governor of Henan, the left Shilang of the Nanjing Criminal Department, the left deputy capital of the imperial history, the secretary of the Nanjing Military Department, the secretary of the Ministry of Officials, and finally the official at least Fu and the prince and the prince.

Wang Shu is upright and strict, and he is straightforward.

"Two capitals and twelve departments, one unique Wang Shu." It is precisely because of Wang Shu that the government in the Chenghua period was not completely abandoned, and it is because of Wang Shu that there was a good situation of "Hongzhi Zhongxing" in the Hongzhi period.

It is now the tenth year of Hongzhi, and Wang Shu has already become a priest because he is too old. But the people's admiration for Wang Shu has not diminished in the slightest.

Zhou Zhi was stunned for a while, but he didn't expect to meet this legendary big man in this small Boye County.

"Huh! Have you ever seen that this kid is stupid when he hears your name? Liu Shu said with a smile.

Wang Shu also smiled heartily.

It was only at this time that Zhou Zhi came back to his senses, hurriedly knelt on his knees, and said in a loud voice, "The kid has seen Lord Wang!" ”

The boy knelt down to his parents, but Zhou Zhi thought that Wang Shu could afford to kneel on his own. This kneeling of Zhou Zhi represents his worship and admiration for Wang Shu.

Wang Shu was not surprised by Zhou Zhi's gift, looked at Zhou Zhi, and said very casually, "Get up, boy, the old man and Liu Yu are best friends, and the old man thinks that he can be Liu Yu's master, so he let the old man's student Liu Yi go outside to talk to you." Hehe! Don't blame the old man! ”

With Wang Shu involved, in Zhou Zhi's thoughts, Liu Yu and Liu Daru will definitely not blame themselves. Although it is very inappropriate to bet on other people's reputations, Wang Shu has come forward, what else can he say?

Thinking of this, Zhou Zhi hurriedly said, "Since Lord Wang has come forward, that kid naturally has nothing to say, but since Lord Wang is in charge of this matter, I have to bother Lord Wang to take care of it to the end, and let Liu Daru of Lixian County accept Zhou Zhi as an apprentice." ”
