Chapter 9 tit for tat
The Stone City was built by Sun Quan of the Three Kingdoms, and is circular in shape, surrounded by layers and surrounds the top of the mountain. The city is lying on the side of the surging river water, guarding the dangerous gateways in the east of the Yangtze River, and can also look north toward the Central Plains.
The light of the sun was draped in all directions of the military fortress built with solid stones, as if it had crossed a layer of gold for it. A ox cart came to it, and the city guard guarding the gate stepped forward to stop it, but the servant behind the ox cart took a few quick steps, holding the city guard and whispered. The driver on the ox cart smiled indifferently, raised his hand and raised his whip, and the ox cart started again.
The road was on a slope, and the ox cart was facing the sun, circling the bent hearts, and heading straight to the top of the mountain.
Zhuang Ding saw Wanyan's ox cart on the high ground and reported to the master beside him. Although the master waited for a while, he felt annoyed. He smiled, waved his wide sleeves, stepped on his clogs and entered the county office.
Soon, the ox cart arrived, and the coachman took the young man to settle down. The young man made a whole crown, slightly adapted to the slightly dazzling sunshine, gently patted his face, and looked up.
"Stone City!"
Three large characters with vigorous pen tips are prominent in the eyes, signed by: Sun Zhongmou.
"You are here." Liu Nong was not in the mood to take a closer look at Sun Quan's original works. He ordered Liu Shi, and his words were gentle, nodding at him again.
Liu said, "If the little man meets a disagreement, just shout."
"Um."
Liu Nong responded softly, glanced at the officers on both sides of the door, took a breath, lifted up the hem of the corner of the robe, raised his head and chest, and looked straight ahead. He and Liu Xun had already made a plan. If Zhang Kai's brother had sex with others and wanted to forcefully do something and had no choice, Liu Xun would enter with Wei Jie's name.
After entering the door, there were two rows of green willows sandwiched on the road, with bluestones covered with them. Liu Nong walked slowly with his left and right wind sleeves. The sound of clogs stepping on the stone was steady but not chaotic.
When I arrived at the main hall, I saw a man kneeling in the hall, wearing a gorgeous Confucian uniform, with his butt raised high, revealing the green socks and wooden clogs under his feet. The Confucian uniform should be elegant and innocent. Such an incongruous outfit is really a dog that can be painted without being a tiger. This should be Zhang Kai's brother.
"Bring people in!"
A light shout came from the hall, and a man sat on the right side of the hall, dressed as a county magistrate. He was a middle-aged man in his thirties. He had a slightly dark face, thin lips and sharp eyebrows, but he was not angry and powerful.
The officer ran out of the hall and lowered his head apologetically. Liu Nong didn't make things difficult for him. He smiled slightly, and as the officer shook into the hall, he knelt down on his knees instead of kneeling down.
County Magistrate Zhang Fang shouted: "Why don't you kneel?"
Liu Nong bowed to the county magistrate and said loudly: "Children of the gentry do not kneel down from the adults, and do not fall into the common people. Just kneel down from the heaven and earth to the parents, why are the county magistrates surprised?"
Since the founding king of the Han Dynasty, Liu Bang, he has been extremely worried about the elite children of aristocratic families, and all officials do not need to kneel down to the emperor when they go to court. During the Wei and Jin Dynasties, the aristocratic families even valued their own identities. This county magistrate was just an eighth-rank turbid historian, not the prince Xima, and the clean officials like the Secretariat of the Central Secretariat were generally held by poor families of commoners, so Liu Nong would certainly not kneel down to him.
"Oh, the children of the gentry."
County Magistrate Zhang Fang leaned back slightly, swept the Zhang Xing, who was still bowing his head, and said, "Zhang Xing, are you suing for refugees or gentry?"
Zhang Xu looked up quickly, pointed at Liu Nong, and shouted: "Report to the county magistrate Zhang, this little boy is not a genius, but a refugee who fled south, rented my house to live. My brother went to urge the rent. He pretended to be a genius and ordered his servants to beat my brother to death. Ask the county magistrate to make the decision for the common people..."
His voice was dragged sharply and violently, and he was even more snot and tears, as if he was filled with heartache.
"Don't make noise!"
Zhang Fang shouted in a deep voice, touched his convex chin, and said in a loud voice: "Since he is a refugee, why don't he kneel when he sees this county magistrate? And he also pretends to be a gentry and is guilty of being a crime. The little child is so bold and reckless that he will commit murder and hurt people. Although he is young, the law is not merciless, so he will be imprisoned for the time being. Where is Xu Jie?"
The officer looked surprised and suspicious. It was related to the aristocratic clans. The monarch of the mansion had to be imprisoned before he could even ask. It was very inappropriate. However, the county magistrate might as well take charge. This was also within the responsibility of the county magistrate.
He had no choice but to step forward and replied in a buzzing voice: "Xu Jie is here!"
Zhang Fang said: "I ordered you to go quickly and bring your family and servants together, so there must be no mistakes!"
"promise!"
Liu Nong kept watching the county magistrate issue orders, but without saying a word, he sneered in his heart: That guy killed my brother and got me dirty. He dared to be so arrogant. It turned out that you, the chief magistrate, was relying on it. And you, the county magistrate, wanted to quickly declare this case without asking any questions. It should be because he was afraid of my previous identity and the consequences of the situation.
"Let's wait!"
Liu Nong pressed his knees, stood up straight, shook his robe, straightened his head Qingguan, and said slowly: "Why did the county magistrate confirm that Liu Nong is not a gentry based on his words alone?"
"As far as the county magistrate knows..."
"As far as the county magistrate knows!"
Liu Nong shouted loudly, took three steps forward, and passed by his two servants, pointing at the county magistrate and shouted: "I dare to ask the county magistrate, it took only half an hour before and after, and the incident happened so suddenly. You are neither the master nor the clan. How can you know that Liu Nong is not a child of the gentry? Could it be that you have investigated Liu's internal information in advance? If Liu is a refugee, mixed with the miracle, but just a drop in the ocean, the county magistrate is so taken care of by the county magistrate. Could it be that the county magistrate has an old age? Since there is no old, Liu wants to ask the county magistrate, what is the intention of this? Could it be that I am planning with a villain to have a young and ignorant..."
After saying that, he stood upright with an angry face, and did not bother him who killed Zhang Kai.
And his shout of clang clang immediately suppressed a servant in the hall, the county magistrate and Zhang Kai's brother. The families who came from the south were mixed together, and who could easily distinguish his roots! The servants were even more familiar with each other. Liu Nong's words were reasonable and well-founded, and he analyzed the matter without revealing it. A huge conspiracy was connected little by little among the three. Zhang Kai, perhaps it was his brother and the county magistrate...
A loss of words will lead to a thousand miles of defeat.
Zhang Fang was shocked and could no longer sit still. She stood up and shouted, "I pretended to be a gentry and even if I commit a crime, I dared to roar in front of the county magistrate. Where is the left and right? I won't take it down!"
"If you make a dirty trick, you will be cruel and shameless. You will be arrogant and destructive!
Liu Nong smiled coldly and stood with his hands behind his back.
The officers saw his demeanor and manners, and they were suspicious after hearing his words. How dare they capture them again? The county magistrate and Zhang Yan were trying to slander and bully the children of the scholars. They were not stupid and they didn't want to accompany them to die. Then the intelligent one quietly walked into the back hall and wanted to report to the prefect, but they saw a man in a wide dress on his face, smiling secretly.
"Shh!"
The man in a wide-clothed suit stretched his finger and leaned against his mouth, walked out of the back hall, and walked towards the hall. Before the person arrived, he heard the sound first: "A good man wants to be arrogant, and the heaven and earth will perish. I dare to ask, what is arrogant?"
Finally led you out!
Liu Nong's mouth bent slightly, and he disappeared in a flash. He replied: "If virtue is not alone, there must be neighbors, and vice versa. If his body is upright, he will do it without orders; if his body is not upright, he will not follow even if he is ordered."
Whether in this or later generations, he was not proficient in Confucianism and Taoism. He was able to answer this sentence because this sentence was given by a master in later generations.
"Huh!"
The man in a broad suit was slightly shocked. When he walked to the hall, he could see the child clearly. He was indeed a young child of seven or eight years old. He was not only quick-minded, but also familiar with the Analects. Although the Analects of Confucius is a compulsory lesson for the gentry and poor families to learn when they were first practiced. However, his two sentences were from "The Analects of Confucius - Li Ren" and "The Analects of Confucius - Zilu", which cleverly blended together, just in line with the scene at this time, and precisely outlined the embarrassment of a person who had lost his virtues and was in the throne.
"Mr...."
"Mr.
All the officers were relieved, and the county magistrate was shocked and anxious, his face darker, and he trembled deeply at the man in Kuanfu. The man in Kuanfu didn't look at him. He passed by him and looked Liu Nong up and down, left and right, and praised him: "Little Song, who is young, is proud. Is it a man in the Weibi, who was..."
The county magistrate gritted his teeth and turned around and bowed to the Duke again and said, "Duke, this child is indeed pretending to be a child of the aristocratic clan!"
Zhu Fujun was interrupted and felt very displeased. He waved his sleeves and shouted angrily: "I have no choice but to ask questions in the house of my Fujun. How can you speak? You stand aside. If what he said is true, you need to accept the consequences!"
"promise!"
Zhang Fang stepped aside, feeling nervous and trembling all over.
Although the county magistrate and the court lord are only one-rate difference, Zhu Tao, the Zhu family, came from the Zhu family in Jiangdong, and is a top local family. Nian Gang was his immediate superior. This was just someone else who came to this stone city to practice and accumulate qualifications. Although his surname is Zhang, he could not fight with the Zhang family in Jiangdong. During the Jin Dynasty, the gentry wanted to control the poor families of the common people, but they were just in a while.
The gentry and common people are different from the world and clouds.
Zhu Fujun frowned slightly, as if he was thinking about what he had just said. He pondered and could not remember it any longer. He became even more angry and said that county magistrate was trembling and cowardly. He was indeed a lonely person with a lone virtue. When he looked at Liu Nong again, he saw him standing in the hall, surrounded by people, looking at him, but he was neither humble nor arrogant, calm and generous. The breeze blew across the robe, causing the robe to spread slowly.
It’s really a mud when you’re about to leave!
He thought about what the noble man in his yard said, saying that this child was not only elegant and elegant, but also wrote a good poem, and was a talented person.
Thinking of the question I accidentally got, he smiled and said, "The county magistrate said you pretended to be a gentry and committed a crime. You said that the county magistrate colluded with others to frame you, and I will not talk about who you are right or wrong. I have a question. If you answered, no matter whether you are a genius or not, you will no longer pursue your crime of hurting others. You will also investigate what you said to the end. But if you fail, then you will be punished. Do you dare to answer?"
Difficult to debate, talk!
Liu Nong's heart jumped slightly, but his face did not change, and he bowed and said, "Please give me a question!"
"good!"
It was really straightforward and straightforward. Zhu Tao stroked his palm and praised him. He wandered around and seemed to be brewing. After a while, he said loudly: "The Master said: Don't worry about not having a position, don't worry about not having a place; don't worry about knowing it, so I can know it. Please lead the Laozi and Zhuangzi to answer the mystery of the scriptures."
As he said that, he caressed the white hair in his hand and leaned obliquely against the side of the hall. He looked at Liu Nong with thick eyebrows and big eyes with interest, and a smile on the corner of his mouth. Since noble people came to help him, he certainly would not cure Liu Nong's crime, but if he could make this young man in a good mood, what would it be wrong?
Liu Nong pondered for dozens of breaths, and couldn't help but walk around the stone in the hall. After eighteen sounds of clogs, his eyes lit up suddenly and he replied: "The way of heaven can reduce the excess and make up for the deficiency. The way of man is not the way, and the loss is not enough to serve the excess..."
Speaking of this, he pondered and explained: "When living in the high temple, one would worry about the people, and when living in the far away of the rivers and lakes, one would worry about the people. People's strengths are both long and short, and they are not as good as their position. What troubles and thoughts are all caused by the mind, and they can be supplemented by the mind, and then they can know it. Boy, I said it absurdly."
After saying that, he retreated back to his original position, calmed his mind, looked at him without squinting, nor saw arrogance or dryness. Even his bright eyes seemed to be filled with smoke and clouds, with some mist.
This will increase your appearance.
"How wonderful!"
When Zhu Tao first heard what he quoted Lao Tzu, he seemed a little awkward, and it seemed that he was not right about the topic. However, after his re-explanation, he chewed it carefully and felt that he had endless aftertaste. It was like the autumn wind blowing across the river, and it seemed like he was in a vast sea of clouds. A red sun was hanging high towards the head, which made people's body and mind clear. He had been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and he wanted to enter the army, lift his horse and chase the Central Plains. However, the family refused to rely on him, but instead asked him to come to this stone city and be a mansion that was so idle that he felt depressed for a long time.
If you live in a high temple, you will worry about your people; if you live in a far away world, you will worry about your people.
After saying this, he suddenly felt open-minded. Yes, although he was a mansion, he could rely on Zhu Tao's ability, as long as he worked hard every day, he would not have a general outside for a day!
He was excited and couldn't help but throw the white hair in his hand away, squatted down, holding Liu Nong's shoulders and arms tightly with both hands, and there was a floating water hidden in his eyes, as if he was looking at Liu Nong like a daughter, unable to speak. Liu Nong was startled and his body was squeamish. This, Zhu Tao, the king of Zhu's family, had never heard of him as a habit of Long Yang, a twin child.
"Follow me!"
Zhu Tao held Liu Nong's hand and quickly turned to the back hall. He said: "Left and right, take County Chief Zhang to the prison. Xu Jie, report it after investigation!"
"Abide by the order!"
Xu Jie asked the order and grabbed the county magistrate Zhang left and right. After such a sudden turn, Zhang Xing was already scared into a pile of mud, his whole body was like a shaking sieve, and there was a pool of water stains under him.
And in the distance behind the hall, Zhu Fujun's praise was constantly coming: "What a wonderful thing!"
"How wonderful!"
