Duanmu Ci stepped forward and touched the black horse distressedly, tears flowing. The black pony hissed in gratitude, its voice full of sadness.

Fang Jishi came to the horse that Duanmu Ci was riding, looked up and down, left and right, but still shook his head, giving up the idea of changing horses. This horse, just like an ordinary strong horse, has nothing special. The black colt's injuries healed and he is still a good horse.

Now the black colt has been tamed by him and has become its new master. Unless he gives it to Duanmu again, otherwise! This guy didn't dare to disobey him.

"What are you doing here?" Seeing that Duanmu Ci had a good relationship with Hei Ju, Fang Jishi asked coldly.

"Me? Engong! Duanmu Ci's hand was placed on the black horse, looked at Fang Jishi, and said, "I'm here to chase Engong!" Engong! Thank you! Thank you for saving your life. ”

Fang Jishi interrupted: "Don't come with me like this! We've got it all right. ”

Talking! Step forward and take the reins of the black pony, ready to leave.

"Eun Gong! I'm Duanmuci! Engong! Duanmu Ci grabbed the clothes of the square cornerstone and said, "I have visited you at your house with my sister-in-law!" Unfortunately, you weren't at home at the time, and I left later. Engong! Didn't my sister-in-law tell you? ”

"Sister-in-law? Your sister-in-law? Who is your sister-in-law? ”

"Fang Qin is my sister-in-law, and Kong Li is my brother!"

"Fang Qin?" Fang Jishi shook his eyes and said to himself, "Fang Qin is your sister-in-law?" ”

"That was a few years ago, Eungong! I asked my sister-in-law to take me there, and I went to visit on purpose! Engong! ”

Fang Jishi thought for a moment and said, "It seems that there is such a thing? Are you that person? What is it called? Zigong? ”

"Zigong! Right! My name is Zigong! Compound surname Duanmu! Seeing that Engong remembered, Duanmu Ci said excitedly.

"Oh?" Fang Jishi nodded. Forthwith! A wave of his hand swept Duanmu Ci's hand away from the clothes.

"It's you! You brought a lot of stuff with you, didn't you? ”

"No respect! Not a tribute! Duanmu rubbed his hands and replied embarrassedly.

Fang Jishi pulled his face down and said in a deep voice: "I hate others giving me gifts the most, so! I'm very angry! ……”

"This?"

"I asked Fang Qin to pull all the Dongdong back, and I also trained Fang Qin!"

"This?"

"If you admire me, you can come to me directly, why bring so many gifts? Think our cornerstone hasn't seen a gift? Who do you think of our cornerstone? Am I the kind of businessman who values profit over righteousness? ”

"Eun Gong!" When Duanmu Ci heard this, he was so frightened that his knees weakened, so he knelt down for Fang Jishi.

Explained: "Engong! Eun Gong, I didn't mean that! I? I didn't bring many expensive gifts! Engong! I? I Duanmu Ci is a businessman, my family background is okay, I usually interact with people, and I usually bring these gifts, and there is no meaning of bribery or stammering! Engong! I am like a family with Sister-in-law Fang Qin and Brother Kong Li! They can testify to me! ……”

"That's it! Say no more! Get up! Don't kneel for others at every turn! Are you a soft bone? Get up! Fang Jishi said, and with a light lift of his hand, he gave Duanmu to stand up.

"Eun Gong! Listen to me! ……”

"If you have something to say, if you have a fart, let it go! Don't talk nonsense about what to explain anymore! Say! What are you chasing me for? You won't go to Qufu City with the car, and you won't go to Qi Country with the car? Iron! That's all money! That's a lot of money for ten carts! Fang Jishi interrupted.

"Eun Gong!" Duanmu Ci then said: "I may have been framed!" Engong! Thank you for saving me! If it weren't for Engong's rescue, I Duanmuci might have died. ”

"That's a lot of nonsense!" Fang Jishi said in disgust. After saying that, he led the horse and walked forward.

"Eun Gong! Listen to me! Engong! I doubt it! I was framed probably because of my husband's business......"

"Why is it that your husband is involved again? You? Fang Jishi stood up and asked angrily.

"Eun Gong! That was not what I meant! Duanmu Ci hurriedly rushed up and explained: "I also heard about it in the afternoon, and Mr. fell into Sandu. I doubt it? Am I not? What about me smuggling iron to the country of Qi? Am I not? If this matter involves the gentleman, the gentleman will die! Engong! ……”

"Let's go! Go deep into the grove! It's inconvenient to talk here. When Fang Jishi heard this, he became serious.

Right now! The matter of Confucius has already involved him, and if the matter of Zigong smuggling iron to Qi is also involved, Confucius will die without a place to be buried.

If that's really the case? That's a big problem! There will only be more people involved, and a large number of people will die.

The two led the horse into the depths of the grove to the place they had chosen before. Fang Jishi first used the kung fu of opening the eyes of heaven to conduct a search in the grove, and found no danger, so he was relieved.

The two horses are scattered aside, allowing them to graze and roam freely. The black horse may have seen the old master's submission to the new master, and was completely desperate. In the end, I had to accept the reality, obediently obeyed, and did not dare to betray the new master. The new owner is too terrifying, he can't kill you?

"You say! What are your thoughts? Fang Jishi asked.

"Me? I don't know? I? Duanmu Ci thought for a while and said, "I'm also guessing!" I don't know what's going on on my side? I have been away from the country of Lu for a long time, and I have been doing some business on the side of the country of Chu.

This is not? I finally got ten truckloads of goods together, and I hurried back. There was nothing to do along the way, but last night, I was about to enter Qufu City, I was going to enter the city at dawn, and then hand over the goods to Shangfeng. Outcome! I met the man in black from the Chu State......"

Duanmuci was a businessman, and when he passed through Lu on business, he heard people say how Confucius was, so he came here. After communicating with Confucius, he felt that Confucius's doctrine and ideas were okay, so he worshipped his teacher and followed Confucius to learn how to behave and behave.

He didn't come to learn professionally. But! In addition to doing business, I come to live for a while. He is not in a small business, their family has always been in a big business. People who do big business are generally very idle, and the main thing they usually do is to spend money everywhere to make connections. Once the business is down, you can eat it for several lifetimes.

One day, he met a high-ranking minister of the Lu State. This relationship was known through Mr. Confucius, an important minister who was Ji Huanzi's retainer.

The two hit it off and talked about the iron of strategic materials. The important minister said that as long as he could get iron, he could sell it to the Qi State, and the Qi State was willing to buy it at a high price. He promised that he could get iron, but the cost was very high, and he didn't have that much money.

The minister said that money is not an issue! As long as you can get iron, the Qi State is willing to pay this money and is willing to pay a heavy reward.

That's it! And that was it. He went to the state of Chu, and through the old relationship of his fathers, he smuggled out the iron of the state of Chu. Cost! He didn't give out a single point, and it was all paid by the Qi State side through other channels. All he had to do was get the iron out and transport it to the Qi country through their family's trade routes, and then get paid.

Outcome! Last night, that is, this morning, the caravan arrived outside Qufu City, but something still happened.

So! It is easy to implicate Confucius in this matter. Because! It was through Confucius's relationship that he came to know the important minister.
