Chapter 9:-for-tat

The stone city was built by Sun Quan of the Three Kingdoms, which is in the shape of a ring, and the enclosure is stacked on top of the mountain. The city tiger sits on the side of the Taotao River, guarding the dangerous gateway of Jiangdong, and can look north to the Central Plains.

The light of the sun, draped in the four sides of the military fortress made of solid stones, seemed to cross a layer of gold for it. An ox cart came to it, and the guard guarding the gate stepped forward to stop it, but the officer behind the cart walked a few briskly and grabbed the guard for a while. The driver of the cart smiled indifferently, raised his hand and raised his whip, and the ox cart set off again.

The road is sloping, and the ox cart welcomes the sun all the way, winding around the intestines, and going straight to the top of the mountain.

Zhuang Ding saw the ox cart stretching up from the high place, and reported to the master beside him. Although the master waited for a short time, he was impatient, smiled, waved his wide sleeves, and stepped on the clogs to enter the county office.

After a short time, the ox cart arrived, and the coachman settled down with Xiao Langjun. That Xiao Langjun straightened his crown, slightly adapted to the slightly dazzling sunlight, patted his face lightly, and looked up.

"Stone Town!"

Three vigorous characters are prominently displayed in the eyes, signed: Sun Zhongmou.

"You are here to stay." Liu Nong was not in the mood to look at Sun Quan's true handwritings, so he commanded Liu Xu, spoke slowly, and nodded lightly at him.

Liu Zhi said: "If Xiao Langjun encounters disharmony, he will shout. ”

"Hmm."

Liu Nong responded softly, glanced at the servants on both sides of the door, took a deep breath, lifted the hem of the corners of his robe, held his head high, looked straight ahead, and stepped into the door with the lead officer. He and Liu Zhi had already made up their minds, if Zhang Kai's brother wanted to forcibly commit misdeeds with others, and there was nothing to be done, Liu Zhi would stab him in with the name of Wei Ji.

After entering the door, there are two rows of green willow sandwich road, the road is paved with bluestone, Liu Nong swings the left and right wind sleeves, walks slowly, the sound of clogs stepping on the stone is stable and not chaotic.

When I came to the main hall, I saw a person kneeling in the hall, wearing a rather gorgeous Confucian costume, and his buttocks were pouted high, revealing the green socks and clogs under his feet. Confucian costumes should be elegant and plain soul, such an indecent dress, it is really a tiger instead of a dog. This should be Zhang Kai's brother.

"Bring people in!"

There was a soft cry in the hall, and there was a person sitting on the right side of the hall, dressed as a county man, a middle-aged man about thirty years old. The complexion is slightly dark, the lips are thin and the eyebrows are sharp, but there is a stock that is not angry and arrogant.

The messenger ran out of the hall, bowing his head apologetically. Liu Nong didn't embarrass him, smiled slightly, and shook the messenger into the hall, kneeling on his knees instead of kneeling.

Zhang Fang, the county magistrate, shouted: "Why don't you kneel? ”

Liu Nong arched his hand towards the county and said loudly: "The children of the scholar clan, they don't kneel down to the adults, and they don't lean to the people. Only kneeling to heaven and earth and parents, why is the county surprised? ”

Since Liu Bang, the founder of the Han Dynasty, he has been extremely worried about the elite children of the family, and all officials do not need to bow down to the Son of Heaven. In the Wei and Jin dynasties, the family was even more self-respecting, and this county was only an eight-grade turbidity history, not a Qing official such as the prince washing horses and the Zhongshu Sheren, but generally filled by the children of the Shu family, Liu Nong of course would not kneel to him.

"Oh, son of the scholars."

Zhang Fang, the county magistrate, leaned back slightly, swept away Zhang Yan, who was still with his head down, and said, "Your Excellency Zhang Yan, are you suing a homeless person or a scholar?" ”

Zhang Xi hurriedly raised his head, pointed at Liu Nong, and said loudly: "Back to Zhang Xiancheng, this kid is not a scholar, just a homeless person who fled south, and rented my family to live. My brother went to collect the rent, he pretended to be a scholar, and ordered someone to beat my brother to death, and asked the county to be the master of the small people......"

His voice dragged on sharply and sharply, and he shook a handful of snot and tears, as if he was full of heartache.

"Hugh is noisy!"

Zhang Fang drank in a deep voice, touched his convex chin, and said in a casual voice: "Since you are a homeless person, why don't you kneel when you see this county?" And the crime of pretending to be a scholar is added to the crime, and the little children are so bold and reckless, arsoning servants and injuring people to death. Although he was young, the law was unforgiving, and he was temporarily imprisoned. Where is Xu Jie? ”

The head of the errand officer was suspicious, it was a matter of the scholars, and the prince was going to be imprisoned before he could ask, which was very inappropriate, but the county official might as well be in charge now, and this person was also within the responsibilities of the county officer.

He had no choice but to step forward and replied in a humming voice: "Xu Jie is here!" ”

Zhang Fang said: "I order you to go quickly and bring his family and servants together, there must be no mistake!" ”

"No!"

Liu Nong has been watching the county Cheng give orders, but he didn't make a sound, and sneered in his heart: That guy who killed my brother was planted with me, and he dared to be so arrogant, it turned out that there was you, the hanging man, as a dependent. And you, the county, don't ask about the indiscriminate situation, and want to solve this case quickly, probably because you are afraid of my previous identity and afraid of being implicated in extraneous branches.

"Wait!"

Liu Nong pressed his knees, stood up straight, shook his robe, straightened his green crown, and said slowly: "Why did the county judge determine that Liu Nong was not a scholar based on just one side? ”

"As far as the county knows......"

"It's a good one as far as this county knows!"

Liu Nong shouted, took three steps forward, walked through the two errands who came to take him, pointed to the county and shouted: "Dare to ask the county Cheng, it was only half an hour before and after, the incident happened so suddenly, you are neither the master nor the classic history, how can you know that Liu Nong is not a child of the scholar clan?" Could it be that you checked Liu's inside story in advance? If Liu is a homeless person, he is mixed with Mang, but he is just a drop in the ocean, and he is so taken care of by the county. Could it be that the county has an old relationship with me? It's not old, so Liu wants to ask the county Cheng, what is the intention of this translation? Could it be that I want to seek my young and ignorant with the villain......"

After speaking, he stood tall and angry, and did not entangle with him who killed Zhang Kai.

And he drank so loudly that he immediately suppressed the cadres in the hall and the county Cheng and Zhang Kai's brother. The people who came from the south are mixed together, who can easily distinguish his roots! Those errands were even more peeping, Liu Nong's words were reasonable and well-founded, and he analyzed the matter bit by bit. A big conspiracy is connected little by little in those three Mo Fei. Zhang Kai may really be his younger brother and county Cheng......

If you lose a word, you will collapse for a thousand miles.

Zhang Fang was shocked, couldn't sit still anymore, stood up, and shouted: "Pretending to be a scholar, arsoning with servants, and daring to roar in front of this county, where is the left and right, I can't take it!" ”

"Planting dirt and marrying trouble, stubborn and shameless. The husband is arrogant, heaven and earth, let it perish! ”

Liu Nong smiled coldly and stood with his hands in his hands.

When the servants saw his demeanor and demeanor, they were suspicious when they heard his words, how could they dare to capture him again. The county Cheng and that Zhang Yan died, wanting to slander and bully the children of the Shi family, they were not stupid, and they couldn't accompany them to their lives. There was the smart one, who quietly stepped into the back hall, wanting to report to the prefect, but saw a man in a wide suit who was secretly laughing.

"Shh

The man in wide clothes stretched out his fingers and leaned against his mouth, walked out of the back hall, and walked to the front of the hall. Dare to ask, what is arrogance? ”

Finally lured you out!

The corners of Liu Nong's mouth curved slightly, and he replied: "Virtue is not lonely, there must be neighbors, and vice versa." His body is upright, and he does not give orders; His body is not right, although he does not obey orders. ”

Whether in this life or in the next generation, he is not proficient in Confucianism, Taoism, and Xuanxuan. I can answer this sentence because it was given by the masters of later generations.

"Huh!"

The man in the wide suit was slightly stunned, and when he walked to the entrance of the hall, he could see clearly that the child was really a young child of seven or eight years old. Not only is his mind quick, but he is also familiar with the Analects. Although this Analect is a compulsory lesson for the children of the scholars and the poor families, they will learn it when they first learn it. But his two sentences, respectively from "The Analects - Liren" and "Analects - Zilu", are cleverly blended together, which is in line with the scene at this time, and precisely outlines the embarrassment of a person who is virtuous and has a corpse in position.

"Mansion ......"

"Fujun!"

All the errand soldiers breathed a sigh of relief, and the county man was shocked and anxious, his face became darker, and he trembled and bowed deeply to the man in wide clothes. The man in the wide suit didn't look at him, he passed by him, looked Liu Nong up and down, left and right for a while, and praised: "The little pine in the wind, although young, is proud. Mo is not a Weibi person, he was ......"

The county Cheng secretly gritted his teeth, turned to the Fu Jun and saluted again: "Fu Jun, this boy is indeed pretending to be a child of the Shi clan!" ”

Zhu Fujun was interrupted by someone, he was extremely unhappy in his heart, waved the sleeves of his robe, and shouted angrily: "This mansion is in the hall, how can you speak, you stand aside, if what he says is true, you need to accept the consequences!" ”

"No!"

Zhang Fang stepped aside, feeling apprehensive and trembling.

Although the difference between the county and the prince is only one product, this Zhu Fujun Zhu Tao is from the Jiangdong Zhu family, and he is the top local family of gate valves. And although he is also surnamed Zhang, he can't fight with the Jiangdong top valve Zhang, and he can't fight with eight poles. In the Jin Dynasty, the Shi clan wanted to control the Shu clan's cold door, but they turned their palms in between.

The Shi clan and the Shu clan are different from heaven and earth.

Zhu Fujun frowned slightly, as if he was thinking about where he had just spoken. pondered carefully, but he couldn't think of anything, and he was even more angry in his heart, and he put the county aside, trembling and dangerous, and he was really a lonely person with virtue. I looked at Liu Nong again, but I saw him standing in the middle of the hall, surrounded by everyone, but he was neither humble nor arrogant, quiet and generous, and the breeze blew through the robe, causing the corners of the robe to spread slowly.

The wind is about to go, and the clouds and mud are also real!

He thought again about what the noble man in his courtyard had said, and said that this boy was not only beautiful in style, but also a brilliant poet who wrote a good poem.

remembered the question he got occasionally, so he smiled and said: "The county Cheng said that you pretended to be a scholar to commit murder, and you said that the county Cheng colluded with others to frame you, and I won't judge which of you is right or wrong." I have a question, if you answer it, whether you are a scholar or not, you will no longer be held accountable for hurting others, and you will be investigated to the end what you said. But if you don't answer, then you will be punished for each one's sin. Do you dare to answer? ”

Debate, talk!

Liu Nong's heart jumped slightly, but his face did not change, and he waved his hand and saluted: "Please ask Fujun to ask the question!" ”

"Good!"

It's really neat, Zhu Tao stroked his palms and praised, wandering left and right for a while, as if brewing, half loud, and said loudly: "Zi said: Don't suffer from no place, suffer from not standing; Do not suffer from the known, seek to be knowable. Please quote Lao Zhuang Xuanjing and answer. ”

As he spoke, he gently stroked the white hairy deer in his hand, leaned obliquely on the side of the case, and looked at Liu Nong with interest with a pair of thick eyebrows and big eyes, with a smile on the corner of his mouth. Since the nobles came to help, of course he would not cure Liu Nong's crimes, but if he could make it difficult for this little Langjun in the wind of the jade tree, why not.

Liu Nong groaned for dozens of breaths, and couldn't help but walk around the stone in the hall, and the clogs stepped on eighteen sounds, his eyes lit up suddenly, and he replied: "The way of heaven is more than what is lost, and what is not enough." The way of man is not, and the loss is not enough to give more than ......"

Speaking of this, he muttered again and explained: "If you live in the temple, you are worried about the people, and if you are far away from the rivers and lakes, you are worried about your residence." The power of people is long and short, and the length is not as long, and it is not suitable because of the position. All the troubles and thoughts are made up by the heart, and the heart is replenished, and you can know it. Boy, it's a lie. ”

After speaking, he retreated to his original position, holding his breath, not squinting, not arrogant, nor dry. Even a pair of crystal eyes seemed to be holding smoke clouds, a little foggy.

In this way, it increases the appearance.

"Wonderful!"

When Zhu Tao first heard him quote Lao Tzu's words, he was a little jerky, and it seemed that there was something wrong with the text. But after his supplemental explanation, chew carefully, and feel that the aftertaste is endless. It seems that the autumn wind blows across the river, and it seems that it is in the vast sea of clouds, and there is a round of red sun hanging high in the head, which illuminates people's body and mind. He has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and he wanted to join the army, and he chased the Central Plains with his horse. However, the family did not follow, but let him come to this stone city, to be a busy prince, and he had been depressed for a long time.

If you live in a high temple, you will worry about its people; If you are far away from the rivers and lakes, you will be worried about your residence.

With this words, he suddenly felt open-minded. Yes, although he is a corner of the mansion, according to his Zhu Tao's ability, as long as he sharpens every day, how can there be no day when the generals are outside!

I was excited, and I couldn't help but throw away the white-haired deer in my hand, squatted down, and held Liu Nong's shoulders and arms tightly with both hands. It startled Liu Nong, and his body couldn't stop twisting and swinging. This, this Zhu Fujun Zhu Tao, I haven't heard of him having a habit of Longyang and twins.

"Come with me!"

Zhu Tao took Liu Nong's hand and quickly turned to the back hall. Said in passing: "Left and right, take Zhang Xiancheng to prison, Xu Jie, return after investigation!" ”

"Yes!"

Xu Jie gave an order, and grabbed Zhang Xiancheng left and right, and turned down so sharply, Zhang Xi had already been scared into a pile of mud, his whole body was like a trembling sieve, and there was a puddle of water stains under him.

And in the distance behind the hall, Zhu Fujun's praise kept coming: "Wonderful! ”

"Wonderful!"
