Volume Four, Three Southern Counties, Chapter 368, Overbearing
Stealing the chicken but losing the rice is a monster like Heizi!
When Lu Jiuzhang heard about the five spiritual grasses, he put his foot down.
It’s okay, I gained one more plant, so it’s not a loss.
"However, Mr. Jiu, you still owe me dozens of spiritual herbs. How about I withhold these five spiritual herbs from you now and treat them as a partial return to me?" Heizi asked.
"Forget it, I'd better go find the Bai family girl. Let her see clearly what kind of person you are? No, what kind of monster you are!"
Lu Jiuzhang scolded.
"No, no, no, can't I give it to you?"
Heizi took out the spiritual grass and gave it to Lu Jiuzhang.
What a loss, what a huge loss!
Heizi felt so uncomfortable!
In the cabin, Bai Xiaosu naturally heard the conversation between a man and a demon, and couldn't help laughing.
She knew that Heizi, a big idiot, would definitely not be able to trick Master Jiu.
…
The ship kept going north.
It was around evening when we finally arrived at Shuizhou County.
The coast is bustling with candlelight flickering.
Under the cover of night, the entire Shuizhou County has a unique beauty.
"This is one of the richest counties in the Zhou Dynasty!"
The little fat man Zhou Zheng said, "The annual taxes paid to the Zhou Dynasty every year are astronomical figures. The prosperity of Shuizhou County is second only to Jingzhao Mansion."
"How about compared to Beilu County?"
Heizi poked his head out and asked.
"These two counties are not comparable at all, okay?" Little Fatty Zhou Zheng said with a bitter smile, "For example, Shuizhou County is the rich young master, and Beilu County... well, it is almost equivalent to the mansion.
Just a handyman!"
Although this comparison is not appropriate, it also illustrates the situation of the two counties.
The boat slowly docked and people were walking on the streets of Shuizhou County.
There was a gentle breeze and it was quite comfortable.
It's still a bit cold in Beilu County at this time, and sometimes it even snows.
As for Nanxiang County, it’s too hot.
On the other hand, in Shuizhou County, the climate in this season is the most suitable.
We found an inn and everyone settled in.
Then everyone sat on the second floor of the inn to eat something and sacrifice their stomachs.
"The cuisine of Shuizhou County was rated as one of the eight major cuisines of the Zhou Dynasty, second only to the cuisine of Jingzhao Prefecture." Zhou Zheng continued, "The status of Jingzhao Prefecture is extraordinary after all."
"Many of the world's famous chefs are concentrated in Jingzhao Mansion."
"If nothing else, let's just say that the cook in my house was hired from Shuizhou County. The food he cooks is amazing!"
The little fat man couldn't help but praise him.
The food in Shuizhou County was indeed good, and Lu Jiuzhang's appetite greatly increased and he ate a lot.
"stop!"
At this moment, a shouting sound suddenly came from downstairs.
I saw four or five big men chasing a girl.
That girl ran very fast, but no matter how fast she was, how could she run faster than those men?
In just the blink of an eye, the girl was overtaken and surrounded by four or five men.
"Little prince, haven't you been talking about Shuizhou County all the way? Why haven't you mentioned this before?" Heizi deliberately teased the young prince Zhou Zheng.
"How did I know this would happen?"
Zhou Zheng couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.
Just when he was about to rescue him, Lu Jiuzhang pressed him down, "Let's see what's going on first?"
Everyone gathered around, only Xuanji and the second uncle Luo Fusheng were still eating food.
The second uncle, Luo Fusheng, was carefree, as if he didn't care about anything.
As for the mystery, his face was indifferent, as if he didn't hear it.
…
Downstairs, four or five men surrounded a woman in coarse clothes.
The leading man even shouted, "You dare to steal our young master's things, are you seeking death?"
"I didn't, I didn't steal!"
The woman cried, "I really didn't steal it!"
She asked for help from those around her.
But most people were indifferent and just watching the fun.
"Let's go, I'll take you to my young master's house to inquire and see if you stole anything!"
The leading man among them grabbed the woman's collar with one hand and tried to drag her away.
"Wait!"
At this time, a poor scholar walked out of the crowd.
He was carrying a bookcase with almost all the paint peeling off, and he was wearing a washed white gown. "Brothers, is there any misunderstanding? We might as well clarify it in person."
"Who the hell can tell you clearly, who are you?"
The leading man shouted, "Do you know that this is the matter of the young master of the Li family? How dare you, a shabby scholar, take care of it? Are you really tired of living?"
"I think the lamp cannot be turned on and the principle cannot be discerned. Everything must be governed by a principle. If there is no reason at all and people are simply arrested, wouldn't it be a bit of nonsense?"
The poor scholar cupped his hand and said, "I am not talented, I am Liu Yuren from the south of the city."
"Liu Yuren? Never heard of it." The big man shouted, "If you dare to stop me again, believe it or not, I will beat you up too?"
After that, the big man pushed the poor scholar, grabbed the woman, and started to move forward.
"Wait a minute, the sage taught me that as a Confucian scholar, you should stand up in the face of injustice." The scholar who called himself Liu Yuren stopped in front of the big man.
Upstairs, Heizi looked at Lu Jiuzhang and the fat little Zhou Zheng, "Did the saint say this?"
"Do I know?" Lu Jiuzhang shook his head.
"I don't even know. I haven't loved reading since I was a child."
Zhou Zheng shook his head, "But it makes sense that I don't know. Master Jiu, it's a little unreasonable if you don't know. Aren't you a fifth-grade Confucian?"
"With this ability, you can become the dean of an academy in a county!"
"If you practice for a few more years, you will become a great Confucian at least!"
"Who said you only need to understand Confucian and Taoist items?" Lu Jiuzhang asked, "I don't understand!"
"I despise you!"
Zhou Zhengdao.
He is obviously a fifth-grade Confucian and Taoist disciple of a saint, but he doesn't even know what the saint said.
This fifth grade of Confucianism and Taoism is not a mixed bag, right?
"If you despise me again, I will pluck out your eyeballs."
Lu Jiuzhang threatened.
It is precisely because of the Kuixing Tower standing in the sea of consciousness that Lu Jiuzhang was able to become a fifth-grade Confucian and Taoist.
But Lu Jiuzhang has never read the teachings of saints.
"I know!"
Peng Qiang, who had not spoken for a long time, said, "The sage said - if you do not do what is right, you will have no courage. This sentence comes from the first volume of the ninety-eight volumes of [Holy Words]. There is also something about this situation in the second volume.
Description: Be filial when you come in, be a younger brother when you go out, be sincere and trustworthy, love everyone, and be kind."
"Hey, you can't tell!" Zhou Zheng joked, "You are a martial artist, but you know a lot."
"I understand this. Although my father scolds Confucian scholars every day, he sent me to my husband's place to study scriptures since I was a child. But like you, the young prince, I don't like studying very much."
"[The Holy Word] has a total of ninety-eight volumes. Every time I read a book, I just turn to the first two volumes. As time goes by, I only remember the contents of the first two or three volumes."
"Later, my father saw that I was really useless, so he asked me to practice martial arts!"
