Chapter 5 Fox Fake Tiger Might

Liu Jun would never be able to make people ride on his neck to poop, and he could still swallow his anger.

When Liu Jun walked out of the Zhang family's gate with a large silver ingot of more than three pounds in his hands, he felt like he was exhaling and raising his eyebrows. Although bullying an ancient country bully was a bit disgusting, someone stepped on it. Since this butcher hit the gun himself, it would be no wonder that he would step on him.

As soon as Liu Jun left the Zhang family's gate, Liu An, the old servant at home, immediately came up to greet him, "Second Young Master, is it okay?"

"What can happen? Mr. Zhang is still willing to reason. I went over and talked to him a few words and explained it clearly immediately. Look, Mr. Zhang said that he had not killed pigs for a long time. Today, he was happy to see the pig and insisted on buying our pigs to practice. I originally said that he gave it to him, but Mr. Zhang was very generous and said that my Zhang family is not short of money at all. In the end, he forced me to pay for 100 taels of silver, which was considered to be the money to buy pigs. I just wanted to leave me at his house for pig slaughtering rice. I couldn't bother me, so I said goodbye."

Liu An listened to Liu Jun talking nonsense seriously, and was amused and laughed. However, seeing that the second young master came back intact, he felt relieved. He was holding two large silver ingots in his hand, and he became worried again. Could it be that the young master just now hit him and forced him to rob two silver ingots back, this God, Master.

At the door of the Liu family, the little girl Baoer was already looking forward. When she saw the two of them coming, she hurried forward and said, "Dad." Baoer first called Liu An "Dad".

This is Liu An who is truly Baoer's biological father. Baoer is also considered a child of the Liu family. Liu An used to be the book boy of his father Liu Xiu, and later became the housekeeper of the Liu family, a custodian, accountant, etc. He married Liu Jun's mother's dowry girl, and then gave birth to Baoer and a son.

Liu An's wife was still comfortable with her mistress, her son was responsible for the Liu family's land rent, and she was also a coachman, while Baoer was responsible for serving Liu Jun. When he was not at home, he helped wash clothes and pour tea.

In addition to Liu Anbaoer's family, there are two servants in the Liu family. The girl cooks in the kitchen, the man does odd jobs, and several children work in the village. Another family is the family whom Liu Zhao's wife Mei brought from the family to accompany the house after marriage, which is dedicated to serving the house.

The Liu family is not small, with three slaves and more than a dozen servants in the family. In addition to the three brothers, Liu Jun also has four sisters, and there is also an aunt in the mother. The three brothers are all one mother and two of them are married, and there are two who are waiting to be named after the word "The Youngest Sister" was born to Aunt Zhao.

When I entered the house, the Liu family was already in full, including Aunt Zhao whom I hadn't seen just now and two sisters. The servants of the three families were also standing in the corridor.

Everyone was relieved to see that Liu Jun was back with full strength.

But when Liu Jun put 100 taels of silver on the table and said what he had just said to Liu An, Dad Liu and Boss Liu both changed color, "Oh, how can this work? You can stop when you see it. Since the Zhang family apologized, it's enough to drive the pig back. How can they ask for their family's silver? It's still a hundred taels? How can this work? Come on, send the silver back."

"Dad, our pig has been killed by the Liu family. The money is for selling pigs. They voluntarily give it to you. Look, there are still handprints." Liu Jun is not greedy for this hundred taels of silver, but if he returns the money, he is not admitting his conscience to the Liu family. Wouldn't the hard work of the performance just now be in vain?

Besides, when Liu Jun was in the Zhang family, he was actually cheating. He didn't know the son of Liu Qiao, the handsome man in Jinyi, and he was not a brother. He just used the tiger's skin as a banner and pretended to be a tiger's power. The most important thing at this time is to keep it tight. If you go back the money now, wouldn't it be for the Zhang family to see through it?

If his fraud is discovered, the local bully like Zhang butcher will definitely take revenge.

In fact, when Liu Jun was in the Zhang family, he deliberately used his identity as a martial artist, saying that all martial artists were children of military officers and hereditary military officers. In fact, he was just bullying Zhang butcher without knowledge.

The martial arts of local garrisons are indeed mainly composed of young military officers under the age of 25 and hereditary military officers over the age of 15, but not all of them are martial artists.

Just like the martial arts examinations are not all martial artists, but also those who are well-versed in military tactics and outstanding in their strategy and courage are recommended by civil and military officials from all over the world. In fact, martial artists are not all children of military officers and hereditary military officers.

Before Chongzhen, in addition to the martial arts in the vassal area, due to the flooding of Liaodong, martial arts began to be established in various parts of the north, no longer limited to military vassal areas, but also set up martial arts in various prefectures, prefectures, counties and counties, attaching martial arts to Confucianism.

In the tenth year of Chongzhen, the court even ordered that all the prefectures, prefectures and county schools all set up military students and were admitted to the examinations of the school officials. However, at that time, people valued literature and over military officials, and the world did not despise the examinations of martial artists.

However, martial artists are still equivalent to scholars after all. Although they are inferior, they are also a way out for many people.

Liu Jun took this path, but his ability to enter martial arts was not due to the identity of officers and hereditary military officers. At this time, there were five qualifications for martial arts students to be admitted.

The first is young military officers under the age of 25, the second is hereditary military officers who have not yet succeeded to the post, and they should attack the shepherd. The third is that the rest of the military officers who are over ten years old will be abandoned. The fourth is that the current military officers over fifty years old will be older than the age of 50, and the fifth is that the strict selection of folk martial arts outstanding, with real talents and knowledge and aspirations to martial artists.

Among these five types, Liu Jun is the strictly selected folk martial arts scholar with outstanding skills, real talent and aspirations. However, he entered the martial arts of prefectures and counties, but the martial arts of Huangzhouwei, which is a bit mysterious.

Just because of his neat skills in knocking down all the men in the Zhang family just now, it can be seen that Liu Jun is indeed good at martial arts.

After all, his ability to pass the martial arts exam was completely related to the current situation. Liaodong suffered many years of defeat, Qing soldiers continued to invade the pass, while Central Plains bandits were everywhere, and the court used troops continuously, and those outstanding brave young people were urgently needed for the country.

However, most scholars in the Ming Dynasty were unwilling to be military officers, and ordinary people who were willing did not have the ability. Therefore, Liu Jun, a scholar-in-law who had studied and was good at playing swords and sticks, became a martial arts student who had no surprises.

Unfortunately, a country bully like Zhang Butcher was not very clear about these things about the court, and it also made Yi Feng pull the tiger's skin and open the flag, making the fox pretend to be powerful.

Although Liu Jun exclaimed a snort to the Liu family, this solution made the Liu family feel worried. It was not as good as the breakfast.

After dinner, Mr. Liu called Liu Jun into the study.

"Tell your father honestly, what's going on?"

"Actually, Dad doesn't need to remember this. The evil people need to be beaten by the evil people. I'm just using a little trick." As he said, Liu Jun told the story of Liu Qiao pulling the Jinyi Shishi and the tiger skin to threaten the butcher Zhang. "Dad, don't worry, I'm sorry that the butcher Zhang doesn't dare to confront Liu Jinwu's family."

Hearing this happened, Dad Liu sighed and remained silent for a long time.

"Actually, there is something I didn't plan to tell you brothers. This is also a shame for the ancestors back then, but now that it is already like this, I'll tell you. In fact, our Xiwan Liu family moved from Suokou River."

Liu Jun was stunned, "Does our Xiwan Liu family and Suokouhe Liu family have relatives?"

"It's not just about having relatives, my father is your grandfather's name is Liu Chengye, and your great-grandfather's name is Liu Shouyou."

"Liu Shouyou? The governor of the Jinyiwei in Wanli period? He served as the chief tutor of the crown prince, the left governor of the fifth governor's office, Liu Shouyou, the commander of the Jinyiwei, the crown prince's Taibao, the Minister of War, the left censor of the Censorate, and the title of Shaobao, and the posthumously named Liu Shouyou, the son of Liu Tianhe, who was named Zhuangxiang?" Liu Jun asked in surprise.

Dad Liu nodded.

Liu Jun was really surprised now. Who is Liu Tianhe, who is Liu Shouyou, and who is Liu Qiao. These are all first-rank officials with Gong Bao. Especially Liu Tianhe, who is the largest official in Macheng so far, is the Minister of War. Anyone in Macheng who doesn’t know this Liu Gongbao.

He was once the governor of Shaanxi and was in charge of the three borders. During the Jiajing period, he was summoned to be the governor of the Ministry of War. Since then, his descendants Liu Shouyou, Liu Chengxi and Liu Qiao have inherited the positions of Jinyiwei for three generations. Liu Shouyou and Liu Qiao both took charge of Jinyiwei, especially Liu Shouyou, who was the younger brother of a famous minister, and was even called Liu Jinwu, the Grand Commander of Jinyiwei.

He didn't expect that their Xiwan Liu family was actually from the Liu family of Suokouhe, one of the four major families in Macheng, and his grandfather was also the son of Dashuai Liu.

"But why did my grandfather moved here and no longer interact with the Liu family in Suokouhe over the years?" Liu Jun asked strangely, "I didn't even hug such a thick thigh?"

There is naturally a reason for this, and the reason is actually very simple. Liu Shouyou was a Jinyi Maleman and a very upright person. He strongly supported Feng Bao and Zhang Juzheng's reforms while in office.

Liu Jun's grandfather was originally a concubine's son. At that time, he followed his father to Beijing and went to the Imperial College for study. In the end, he was lost in the Jin Mi in Kyoto and did a lot of things that were harmful to the family style with a group of playboys. In the end, Liu Shouyou directly practiced family rules, drove out of the family, and even broke out of the family genealogy.

Liu Chengye was kicked out of his house, and later returned to his hometown in Macheng, moved out of Suokouhe, and settled in Xiwan, marrying a wife and having children. Decades have passed, and Liu Chengye has long passed away, and his identity is long unknown. If Liu Dad had not mentioned it today, Liu Jun would have really been like other people in Xiwan, and he would not have known that the Liu family was really a member of the Jinghu Ding Clan.

It turned out that he just wanted to use the tiger skin to pull a big banner and pretend to be a tiger's power, but he didn't expect that the Liu family was really a nobleman. Liu Jun couldn't help but start to move his mind. Although his grandfather was kicked out of the house and was dismissed from the family tree, these years have passed, can he really stop interacting with him like his father?

This is not right. What is the status of the Liu family? Let’s say that the contemporary patriarch Liu Qiao is the grandson of Liu Shouyou’s brother Liu Shouji. Well, he is a brother of the same generation as his father. Originally, the position of the Liu family’s hereditary Jinyiwei was in Liu Shouyou’s branch. Later, it was passed to Liu Shouyou’s son Liu Chengxi. After Liu Chengxi did not pass it to his son, but to his nephew Liu Qiao.

During the Tianqi period, Liu Qiao was in charge of the Jinyiwei North Town Fushi, but because he did not cooperate with the eunuch party, he was dismissed from his post and returned home. After Chongzhen ascended the throne, he soon became re-established and even more reused. Now he is a big shot in the capital.

He has such a big boss, a grandmaster in Jinyi, and there is no reason to pretend to be a tiger's power and under the guise of a banner. He should go directly to the Liu family in Suokouhe and come to recognize his relatives.

If you have such a thigh, don’t hold it at this time, when will you wait?
