Chapter 63 Late Night Emergency Order
,,,,,,,,,,,,
A huge thing, Liu Jing finally got a certain solution through his various efforts and some kind of luck.
The Tao family was generous and exempted Gan Ning from returning the deposit of a thousand taels of gold, which made Gan Ning no longer suffer any losses in this matter, and also relieved Liu Jing's guilt.
Not only that, the Tao family also signed a contract with him to buy and sell slaves, perfectly filling the last loophole. Gan Ning's role in slave trading became a trustee, going to Runan to buy slaves for Liu Jing.
In this way, the entire incident was complete from the process to the law, leaving Zhang Yun impeccable.
He started to be busy since he encountered a situation at noon, and he was busy until it was dark, and he could barely come to an end. Liu Jing breathed a sigh of relief, and his heart hanging in the air could finally let go of half.
Now, as long as he waits until the last two slave contracts are delivered, all the legal books are already in place, and he can explain this to Liu Biao tomorrow.
Liu Jing went home extremely briskly as if he had taken off a burden.
...........
But the operation of all things in the world has its own rules, and nothing will be smooth sailing. It is precisely the old saying that planning things depends on people and success in heaven often comes when major events are about to be settled.
Liu Jing paced back and forth in the room with his hands behind his back. It was already the hour, but the last two slave contracts were not delivered for a long time, and Liu Jing's heart hangs again.
Inferred from time to time, these two slave contracts should have been completed long ago, but why weren't they sent? Is there something unexpected happening?
Liu Jing was already a little anxious. He was not worried about these two slave contracts, but about the reasons that affected these two slave contracts must have been some major changes that led to an accident.
At this moment, a sound of horse hooves came faintly from afar, which was also very far away in the quiet night. Liu Jing stopped and his ears stood up. He had a very strong premonition that the sound of horse hooves came towards him.
The sound of horse hooves disappeared at his door, and then there was a thumping knock on the door. It was very anxious, and someone was shouting: "Mr. Jinggong Jinggong"
Before Uncle Meng went to open the door, Liu Jing quickly walked into the courtyard and opened the gate. There were two guards outside. Liu Jing recognized that it was Liu Biao's two confidant guards Zhang Zhi and Luo Zhu.
"What's the matter?" Liu Jing asked nervously.
Zhang Zhi took out Liu Biao's silver medal and bowed and said, "Mr. Zhou ordered his uncle to return home immediately."
Liu Jing sighed in his heart. He had guessed that Liu Biao's order to return home must have something to do with the two slave contracts.
"Okay, I'll pack up some things, and I'll go with you now."
Liu Jing brought all the books with him, took the horse out of the door, and galloped towards the south gate of Fancheng with them.
.............
In Liu Biao's study, Wang Ji stood with his hands down, lowered his head, and looked depressed. Liu Biao paced back and forth in the room with his hands behind his back, his face full of anger, and couldn't help but look back and glar at Wang Ji, "You are so bold, you dare to do such a thing."
Wang Ji secretly hated Cai Mao in his heart. He didn't know how Cai Mao knew about his creation of the contract, so he secretly sued Liu Biao. As a result, Liu Biao sent guards to the county government and brought out the two slave contracts, which made the matter a big deal.
Wang Ji was Liu Biao's son-in-law. Liu Biao did not make any statement about this matter, but called him back to his house and scolded him severely.
"I did this inappropriately, but the law also allows for the redeem afterwards."
"You still dare to argue"
Liu Biao angrily rebuked, "Today is the day, you can take advantage of this opportunity to make up for his slaves. Is this a normal behavior? "
Wang Ji sighed deeply and dared not speak anymore.
At this time, a report from the guard came from outside the door: "Lord, Duke Jing is here."
"Let him in"
After a moment, Liu Jing quickly walked into the room, knelt down and bowed, "My nephew greets my uncle."
Liu Biao glanced at Liu Jing with dissatisfaction. It was only two months before he caused so many things. This nephew is really not simple.
Liu Biao walked back to the table, threw a thick stack of slave contracts in front of him, and said coldly: "You tell me yourself, I don't want to listen to any more quibblings."
Liu Jing considered it, but he couldn't hide it anymore. If he kept it still, he would only make himself more passive. Then let's talk about it frankly.
"Uncle, can you talk privately?"
Liu Biao nodded and said to Wang Ji: "Go and write me a certificate of guarantee for this matter, and I will guarantee that I will not commit it again next time."
"It's my subordinate who gave up."
Wang Ji didn't dare to look at Liu Jing, so he bowed and stepped back. Liu Biao closed the door and sat down. Then he slowly said: "There are only two of us in the room now. Explain me honestly what's going on."
Liu Jing started from what he had just entered You Jiao, first talking about his grudges with Zhang Yun, and then explained the story of today's life in detail without any concealment. Finally, he took out all the letters and contracts from the bag he carried with him and placed them in front of Liu Ping.
"Actually, I have done it perfectly and took everything to me. If there is no trouble in the Prince Wang tonight, then this matter will be perfect. But no matter what, I will not hide it from my uncle. This is just an explanation to my husband."
Liu Biao picked up the books and looked at them one by one. He was surprised. He never expected that his nephew would handle the matter so well in just half a day. Not only did he ask the county yard to re-establish the slave contract, but he also convinced the Tao family to re-establish the slave contract. This is not something that ordinary people can do.
He pondered for a moment and asked again: "Why is the Tao family willing to help you?"
Liu Biao was extremely smart. It must be Kuai Yue's instruction that the county magistrate was willing to replenish slaves. So the Tao family had never been around forever. How could they help Jing'er so much? They even waived Gan Ning's deposit of 1,000 taels of gold? This was quite small. Liu Biao realized that his nephew must have some relationship with the Tao family.
Liu Jing pondered for a moment and said, "I don't know if my uncle knows that I killed Huang Yi, the nephew of Huang Zu, in Wuchang City."
Liu Biao picked up Huang Zu's apology from the table, looked at it and said, "I know this. It is said that Huang Yi snatched the girl in broad daylight and was killed in chaos, but it was not your move."
"It was actually the one who actually killed Huang Yi, the daughter of the Tao family, an ignorant young lady. Because I took the blame afterwards, the Tao family was very grateful to me and specially sent someone to Xiangyang to thank me, so I had a friendship with the Tao family."
Liu Biao nodded, and Huang Zu's report also said that the real murderer who killed Huang Yi was related to the Tao family, which coincided with Liu Jing's statement.
Liu Biao walked a few steps behind his back, which shocked him. Only then did he realize that his nephew Zhang Yun had a secret selfish intention and actually sold military slaves alone, hiding everything from him. No wonder he worked so hard on this matter. It turned out to be a trap he set.
Liu Biao looked at Liu Jing again. He went from being angry with Liu Jing at the beginning to understanding the situation and approving his abilities.
At this time, most of Liu Biao's dissatisfaction with Liu Jing had gradually disappeared, and Liu Jing did not hide anything at all, which made Liu Biao feel deeply relieved. Moreover, Liu Jing handled this matter perfectly and had such a strong ability, which was really impressive.
Liu Biao remembered Kuai Yue's evaluation of Liu Jing again. He was a rare talent. It was indeed good. No wonder Kuai Yue was willing to help him do this. Kuai Yue was very sensible and wanted to win over Liu Jing.
Thinking of this, Liu Biao's expression calmed down and asked again: "Why are you so partial to Gan Ning and take such a big risk for him? Why is this?"
Regarding Gan Ning's affairs, Liu Jing has always wanted to convince Liu Biao, but unfortunately Liu Biao cherishes his reputation and refuses to reuse Gan Ning. Liu Jing is very worried about experiencing this incident, so Gan Ning is unwilling to stay in Jingzhou anymore. No matter what, Liu must make it clear that white talents are reused.
"Uncle, Gan Ning and his nephew never knew each other, but his nephew had long heard that he was very skilled in martial arts and extraordinary courage. Such talent was the strong support for us to fight Cao's army south in the future. My nephew did not want him to be wronged in Jingzhou and turned to Jiangdong."
Speaking of this, Liu Jing took a deep breath and said, "You must know that both Cai Zhong and Zhang Yun have personal grudges with him. If his uncle cannot support him, it is very likely that Zhang Yun and Cai Zhong and others will use public service to help others and force Gan Ning away. This is the result that my nephew most reluctant to see."
"Do you really think so?" Liu Biao looked at Liu Jing and said.
Liu Jing nodded, "My nephew is very worried. Once Cao's army goes south, the Jingzhou gentry will have to prepare for the determination to fight Cao's army."
Liu Jing touched Liu Biao's heart disease with one sentence, and he didn't say anything for a long time. Finally, Liu Biao said lightly: "Okay, I won't blame you for this matter. Since you have done the work well, the affairs of the slaves of the Five Army will be settled. I have my own arrangements for Gan Ning's affairs. You can go back."
"Yes, my nephew said goodbye"
Liu Jing breathed a sigh of relief in his heart and handed over all the books to Liu Biao, so he stepped down.
Liu Biao stood in front of the window with his hands behind his back, thinking for a long time. Although his nephew is a talented person, he must control himself in his hands so that he can play his role. Don't let him take away his limelight.
Thinking of this, Liu Biao immediately ordered: "Come the elder"
Soon, Liu Qi walked into the study and knelt down and bowed, "Father, please give me instructions."
"What do you think of Jing'er?"
"Brother Jing is a mature young man, smart and capable, and can be of great use."
After a moment of silence, Liu Biao asked again: "Do you think he is the kind of ambitious person?"
Liu Qi shook his head, "Father, he is only sixteen years old. He has only been in Jingzhou for more than two months. How could he have ambition? My father is too worried. The child doesn't think he has any ambitions."
"But your mother told me that Jing'er is very ambitious and wants to replace you brothers."
Liu Qi bit his lips and said, "Brother Jing is a very strong person. He has a strong sense of self-esteem and does not know how to compromise. Because of the Cai family's marriage, he and his mother have already had a quarrel. His mother hates him to the core and hopes that his father can understand the situation."
Although Liu Biao was a suspicious person, he didn't think of his wife's words for a few words. He suspected that his nephew was ambitious, but Liu Jing's performance in the past two months was eye-catching, which made Liu Biao a little worried.
But then again, nephew is nephew. Unless he is appointed by himself, he has no legal basis for inheriting his foundation. No matter how capable he is, officials will not recognize him as the lord of Jingzhou.
Thinking of this, Liu Biao felt relieved again, temporarily let go of his concern for Liu Jing, and said to Liu Qi: "Gan Ning is indeed a talent, and I don't want him to be forced to leave Jingzhou. Zhang Yun may be detrimental to him tomorrow. You can take advantage of this opportunity to stop Zhang Yun and make Gan Ning grateful to you and be loyal to you. Do you understand what it means to be a father?"
Liu Qi nodded silently, "The boy understands it."
