Liu Jing, who had been complained to by Xie Liang a thousand times in his heart, was now in the book store. He had not originally planned to come here. The book store was a quiet place for other people, but it was just the opposite for him. He would think about it every time he came.

Being pestered by the Confucian scholars in the library, there was rarely any quiet time.

Some of them asked for calligraphy, some asked for advice on classics, some wanted to be city officials, and some showed their talents.

The most terrifying thing is the last kind of person. If he is really talented, Liu Jing would not mind being courteous and courteous and trying to win over him. But unfortunately, he is a person with high ambitions and low abilities, and he has no self-awareness. He talks in front of him and tells him what he should do and what he shouldn't do.

, if you don't listen to me, you are stubborn and don't accept honest advice.

But Liu Jing still wanted to greet him with a smile, once or twice... He could only stay away from the book store.

This time, because the fish and meat in the house were running out, I was going to get some fresh carps from my brother Liu Liang. When I passed by the bookstore, I was bumped into by the owner of the bookstore.

The owner of the bookstore invited Liu Jing in and said with a smile: "What a coincidence. The villain was about to send a servant to the market to invite Liu Jun, and Liu Jun came to the door himself."

"What do you want from me?" Liu Jing asked as he followed him into the study room. There were seven or eight Confucian scholars sitting in the study room. The savior Liu Yao was not among them, nor was the man with high ambitions and low hands.

The owner of the book shop nodded and said: "To be fair to Liu Jun, someone has just repaid the 20,000 pledged books on Liu Jun's behalf. I want to inform Liu Jun to come and collect the pledged books."

Liu Jing stopped and turned to look at the owner of the bookstore. He couldn't help but asked in astonishment: "Someone paid back 20,000 yuan for me? Who is it?"

The owner of the bookstore did not dare to hide anything, so he answered truthfully: "It's Mr. Cao Chengfu, the left thief."

"Achievements?" Liu Jing couldn't hide the surprise on his face. Several candidates flashed through his mind, but the name "Achievements" did not exist. He thought to himself: "How could it be him? Is he... showing favor to me? Yes.

Is this necessary?”

Liu Jing's guess was absolutely correct. His move was indeed a gesture of goodwill, and he had struggled with it for several days before taking action.

The reason why he was so entangled was because he had always been at odds with Liu Pan, and was also at odds with Liu Zong. Trying to show favor to Liu Jing would not achieve any results.

But he did it in the end, for only one reason: he wanted to resolve the "misunderstanding" between the two. There was no deep hatred between the two, and there was really no need to form a grudge over a mere 20,000 yuan. Even if Liu Jing didn't appreciate it.

, he also wants to make this gesture.

From this we can see how much he feared Liu Jing in his heart, he was as fearful as a tiger.

As a confidant deeply trusted by Zhang Xian, the governor of Changsha, Qi Qi is not afraid of Liu Pan. Although the latter has a great reputation, he is a noble person and disdains the use of means, and it is difficult for normal laws to pose a fatal threat to him.

Because Liu Zong has been living in the wilderness for a long time, his influence on the upper echelons of Changsha is limited. As long as he is not pushed into a hurry and does desperate things, there is nothing to worry about in terms of performance. He has a sense of proportion.

But Liu Jing is different. He has been in the city for less than a month. Through various means, using Liu Zong and District Hero as a stepping stone, he has successfully established an unparalleled prestige.

There is no ranger who is not afraid of him.

What's even more frightening is that his reputation is so great that Zhang Xian repeatedly mentions it to his close disciples like them, and he can't hide his admiration in his words. Depending on the situation, he may be appointed as the chief clerk within a year or two.

, main book.

If Liu Jing also became Zhang Xian's confidant, with all the tricks he showed in the city, would he still have a way to survive?

When I thought of this, I couldn't help but break into a cold sweat.

Therefore, he wanted to resolve the grudge between the two as soon as possible, at least not to let Liu Jing have "unfavorable" thoughts towards him.

"I will return the money to the results. I will return the money for the pledge in the future." Liu Jing knew what the results meant, but he couldn't accept it. Liu Pan was not only his clan brother, but also the person who helped him enter the official career.

Wouldn't compromising with grades make you an ungrateful person?

There was a hint of embarrassment on the face of the owner of the book store, and he smiled bitterly and said: "Mr. Cheng Teng had expected that Mr. Liu would not agree, so he burned the loan deed in front of the villain."

Liu Jing shook his head and said with a smile: "He thinks he can force me to acquiesce by doing this?"

The owner of the bookstore was acting dumb on the sidelines. He couldn't afford to offend a big shot like Liu Jing and Ji Ji. It was difficult to be caught in the middle. I just hoped not to get angry with him.

Liu Jing thought about it carefully and finally gave up the plan of asking the owner of the bookstore to return the money to the results.

However, he was not prepared to take away the books immediately. He would wait until he communicated with his clan brother Liu Pan before making a decision.

Liu Jing said after a while: "I'll leave the book here for now."

"promise."

Seeing that Liu Jing's attitude seemed to have relaxed, the owner of the bookstore secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He was really afraid that Liu Jing would not compromise with the score and force him to refund the money. The score did not dare to blame Liu Jing, and 90% of the time he would express his anger.

to his head.

The owner of the book shop temporarily put his mind behind him, and a smile appeared on his face again, and he said: "Liu Jun, Xiaoren Book Shop recently received a book called "Qianfu Lun", which was written by Wang Fu Wangjie, a native of Anding, Liangzhou.

write."

Liu Jing couldn't help but said in surprise: "Wang Jiexin's name has been well-known among us for a long time, but it is said that he has been dead for twenty or thirty years, and I have never heard of him writing a book to establish his theory, Qianfu theory, Qianfu theory... Wang Jiexin does not change his character.

Chi."

Wang Fu was one of the few great scholars in the frontier areas of Liangzhou. Although he lived in seclusion and was not an official all his life, he was famous for a while. Ma Rong in Guanzhong and Zhang Heng in Nanyang were both friendly to him.

, this shows how great his reputation and knowledge are.

In Sanming, Liangzhou, General Huangfu Gui returned to his hometown. He ignored two thousand stones and welcomed Wang Fu. As a result, people at the time said: "Seeing only two thousand stones is not as good as a tuck." The tuck is the clothing of Confucian scholars and also refers to it.

Confucian.

"I've never heard of this before," the owner of the bookshop continued, flattering him: ""Qianfu Lun" is a book of political theory, which I don't know much about. It's more suitable for someone as ambitious as Liu Jun.

A gentleman who cares about the world."

Liu Jing became more and more curious and asked, "I wonder where the book is?"

The owner of the bookstore said: "This kind of book cannot be easily shown to others. It is hidden in the back room by the villain. Liu Jun will wait a moment. I will get it for Liu Jun now."

Liu Jing shook his head secretly. The purpose of writing a book was to spread his thoughts and be seen by more people. Hiding the book would lose its meaning.

Soon the owner of the bookstore came out with several scrolls of bamboo slips and placed them on the case in front of Liu Jing.

Liu Jing casually picked up a volume called "Praise for Learning": "What heaven and earth value is human beings; what saints value is righteousness; what virtue and righteousness value is wisdom; what wisdom seeks is knowledge."
