Wang Ji's officialdom theory of interests is full of worldly style and obsceneness. Liu Jing did not agree with it, but Wang Ji was very close to him and actually agreed to complete the five slave contracts. In this way, the private military slaves were turned into legal slave transactions.

The owner of the slave also changed from Gan Ning to him, Liu Jing, and completely put Gan Ning away from this matter, which made Liu Jing breathe a sigh of relief.

Of course, he also knew that the risk of this matter was very high and most people would not do it easily. After all, it was as many as five. If it was investigated, the situation would become very serious, and the person involved would even be dismissed from office and questioned. It can only be said that in this matter, he owed Kuai Yue a great favor.

But why did Kuai Yue be willing to give such a great favor to him? Is it impossible for him to give Zhang Ping's head? Liu Jing knew very well that Zhang Ping's head was actually not worth a lot.

If Zhang Ping's head is not valuable, then his identity is valuable. In fact, Liu Jing also vaguely guessed that Kuai Yue's real purpose is to win over him.

This is not a bad thing

Although Liu Jing did not accept Wang Ji's theory of officialdom in a favorable way, he also had to find ways to win over the forces of the gentry in Jingzhou. If he could get the support of the Kuai family, he would have the opportunity to establish his own power.

At dusk, Liu Jing returned to Fancheng's home with the first completed Fennuqi. As soon as he entered the door, the little maid Xiaobao ran up and said anxiously: "Why did you come back?"

Liu Jing lit the tip of his round and raised nose and smiled, "Why, I'm not at home, so I'll have no rice to cook."

"Not"

Xiao Bao stamped his feet and said, "There are guests coming to see you. It has been here since yesterday afternoon to today."

"Oh, now, is he still here?"

"I just left not long ago. Come quickly and leave a lot of things for you."

Xiaobao led Liu Jing to the living room, and saw a pile of boxes of large and small sizes piled up on the living room table, with forty or fifty pieces. Uncle Meng was sorting them out one by one.

"Master, these are all expensive things." Uncle Meng opened a box and couldn't help but sigh.

Liu Jing walked forward and saw a fan-sized Ganoderma lucidum in the box, which was at least over the age of age. Liu Jing knew who the person was. He opened another small box, which contained two dried snake gallbladders, the size of a pigeon egg.

"Who is the Tao family here?" Liu Jing asked hurriedly.

Xiaobao handed him a greeting, "This is a visiting book left by the guest."

Liu Jing took the post and saw that it said, "Chaisang Tao Zhan respectfully worshipped Gong Jing."

Tao Zhan frowned. He knew that the head of the family was Tao Sheng, so he didn't know who Tao Zhan was.

Uncle Meng smiled and said, "This Tao Zhan is about forty years old. I went to inquire, but it was strange. I had never heard of this person in the Tao family. I guess he is an elder of the Tao family. I feel that he is very polite and has no hindrance."

"Uncle Meng, then I'll go out and you can hold these books for me."

Liu Jing handed the slave to Uncle Meng, and walked out quickly. Xiaobao chased him to the door and shouted, "Master, let's go after dinner."

"I've been very busy these two days, you don't have to worry about me." Liu Jing's voice has gone away.

...........

Soon, Liu Jing came to the gate of the Tao Business Company again. He did not expect that the Tao family would come so quickly, and it was Tao Sheng's brother. It seemed that Tao Zhan had a greater status than Tao Zheng last time.

Today is the sun, and Tao Zhan doesn't even care about family sacrifices. From this point of view, it can be seen that the Tao family attaches great importance to the affairs of the Sun brother and sister.

After waiting in front of the gate for a while, a burst of rapid footsteps came from the gate. More than a dozen people came out. Liu Jing saw Tao Zheng at first sight, and he came too.

Beside Tao Zheng is a middle-aged man in his forties. He is of medium size, has a soft outline, bright eyes, and looks very smart. It can be seen that this person is pampered and well-maintained. Maybe he is Tao Zhan.

But Tao Zhan smiled and bowed long, "I'm going to the Duke Jing's mansion after going to the Duke Jing's mansion. Duke Jing is not there, but he didn't expect to come to the door in person."

Seeing that Tao Zhan's hands were slender and tender, like a woman, Liu Jing couldn't help but feel a little funny. He was so well maintained, so he quickly replied, "I went back to Liu's mansion to worship his ancestors yesterday. I'm sorry, I let Master Tao run in vain."

"I am going to the door abruptly. Please sit in the house."

"please"

Everyone was polite to each other, and Liu Jing bowed to Tao Zheng again. The two greeted each other and entered the mansion together.

Tao Zheng deliberately slowed down. He looked at Tao Zhan and Liu Jing from behind and greeted each other and sighed quietly. Is this a bit too much?

However, when I remembered my father's order before leaving, if the problem was serious, I would be willing to kill someone to silence him. This made Tao Zheng very worried. How could he kill someone to silence him?

Sitting down in the living room, Tao Zheng looked at everyone, and everyone retreated one after another, only Tao Zhan and Tao Zheng accompanied Liu Jing. Tao Zhan smiled and said, "Mr. Jing has not been in Jingzhou for a long time, but has been acclaimed many times. Now Jingzhou is a little famous. Even the Tao family of Chaisang has heard of the name of the Lord. Gong Jing's future is unlimited."

"Senior has been awarded too much, and he is not good at the world affairs. Please give me some advice."

"Mr. Jing is humble."

Tao Zhanxun glanced at Tao Zheng, saw that he had no expression on his face, and smiled and said, "This time I came from Chaisang, mainly to thank Gong Jing for protecting the reputation of our Tao family. He did not spread the news. The head of the family thought that the second uncle's gratitude was not enough to express the Tao family's wishes, so he asked me to come and express my sincere respect to Gong."

After saying that, he stood up and bowed deeply to Liu Jing. Liu Jing waved his hand quickly, "This is just a matter of Sun's brothers and sisters coming to Jingzhou for fun, and the Tao family is full of the friendship of landlords. I don't think it is a big deal. Your mansion doesn't have to worry too much."

Although he comforted him, the Tao family did not think so. Tao Zhan made a special trip from Chaisang, not to listen to Liu Jing's explanation.

Tao Zhan pondered for a moment, then smiled faintly, "Of course I understand the kindness of Duke Jing, but I also asked Duke Jing to understand the Tao family's importance to this matter, because the head of the family really didn't know about this matter. For this reason, the head of the family was very thunderous and beat the second duke hard and punished him not to participate in the clan festival in 2009. After all, the Tao family is just a businessman, and they dare not touch some things, and they cannot violate them."

When Liu Jing saw Tao Zheng bowing his head and saying nothing, he understood what Tao Zhan meant. The Tao family actually didn't believe in him.

Liu Jing had a clear understanding. I am afraid that the collusion between the Tao family and Jiangdong was not as simple as taking the Sun brothers and sisters to visit Jingzhou. There might be Dazhang behind it. What he saw was just a small part of the water.

That's why the Tao family was so nervous. Tao Zhan actually gave up the family sacrifice and rushed to Xiangyang. Liu Jing was almost certain that the Tao family and Jiangdong must have had a deeper collusion.

Liu Jing smiled, "I met the Sun brother and sister in Chibi just because of the Luma incident, and ended up having an unpleasant thing, that's all, so I don't think this matter is serious. It's just the Tao family's way of being a guest."

Tao Zhan looked at Liu Jing deeply, trying to find any clues from his expression and eyes, but he found nothing.

Tao Zhan lowered his head and thought, is he really only knows so much? If this is the case, it would be reassuring, I am afraid that his words would not be true.

Although he was still a little worried, Tao Zhan knew that he could not get anything out of Liu Jing. He asked again, "Please forgive me for taking the blame. I want to confirm again that only the official knows about this matter, right?"

Liu Jing nodded, "Since I have promised the second uncle, I will never break my promise."

"Thank you, Gong Jing, for keeping the secret for the Tao family."

Tao Zhan stopped mentioning this matter, changed the topic and smiled: "In addition, regarding the medicinal materials required by the public, my head has promised to provide the public with all his strength, and he has as much as he needs. If you have any other needs, please put forward it. As long as the Tao family can do it, I will do my best."

Liu Jing was embarrassed and quickly thanked him, "Thank you for your good deeds, there is no need for you for the time being."

At this time, a manager appeared at the door and gave Tao Zhan a wink. Tao Zhan understood, apologized to Liu Jing, and got up and went out.

Liu Jing apologized to Tao Zheng again: "Liu Jing apologized for causing the two officials to be blamed."

Tao Zheng waved his hand, "This is my young and ignorant. I am causing trouble for my family and deserves to be blamed, and it has nothing to do with Gong Jing."

As soon as he finished speaking, Tao Zhan heard outside angrily, "How could he do this? We have paid the deposit. Now there is no one. Is it just like this to deal with us? Is it so uncredible? No wonder he can only do a disaster."

Tao Zhan's voice became very sharp, which made Liu Jing stunned for a moment, but his attention turned to the content, and his heart moved, who was talking about this disaster?

Tao Zhan walked in from outside with anger on his face and walked into the living room. He restrained his anger again and smiled back on his face, "Haha, I'm sorry."

Liu Jing asked with a smile: "Do Dow Trading Company recently bought a batch of special goods?"

"What does the special goods mean by the official?" Tao Zhan asked, stroking his beard.

"For example, five slaves..." Liu Jing stopped and watched Tao Zhan's expression change.

Tao Zhan was stunned, with a look of surprise in his eyes. How could Liu Jing know about this? He asked in confusion: "How do you know?"

"Of course I know, I also know that this is a transaction made by Gan Ning and Tao's family, isn't it right?"

Tao Zhan nodded, he did not deny, "It is true. The Tao family needs a boat guard, so Gan Ning took the initiative to contact him and said that he had five strong Yellow Turban Army slaves in his hand and could be sold to us. We have signed a contract, and the Tao family also paid a thousand taels of gold deposit, hey."

Tao Zhan sighed and said hatefully: "It's a pity that Gan Ning is not trustworthy. He actually said that there is no military slave, and the deposit can only be refunded half. Isn't this teasing the Tao family?"

Liu Jing secretly cried out in his heart, then this matter would be easy to deal with, it can be said that it was solved easily, this was simply God's will.

Liu Jing hurriedly said, "The affairs of the slaves of the Five Army are not that simple. I beg the Tao family to give me a face and help me."

Tao Zhan smiled, his eyes were particularly bright, "You may as well tell me how to help you, the Tao family is very happy."

.........

Liu Jing said goodbye and left. Tao's uncle and nephew kept sending him to the mansion. Looking at him walking away, Tao Zhan suddenly covered his mouth and burst out laughing. The laughter was clearly a young woman.

Tao Zheng glared at her fiercely, "If you have the ability, keep pretending to the end and see how others expose you."

He turned around and walked into the mansion. Tao Zhan hurriedly followed and said with a smile: "Second brother will destroy the bridge when crossing the river, or if I don't have me, I will really be punished to stop the New Year's sacrifice."

Her sweet voice was indeed the voice of a girl. Tao Zheng couldn't help but stop for a few steps. This incident made his father angry. If the younger sister hadn't pleaded hard, she would have been punished to stop the New Year's sacrifice, not as simple as this year.

"Okay, I won't talk about you anymore, but I don't think it's right for you to dress up as an elder. Liu Jing misunderstood and thought that the Tao family attached great importance to it. Even the elders came over without sacrificial sacrifices. Do you understand?"

"Don't worry, I understand in my heart."

Tao Zhan's eyes turned and smiled again: "Does I dress up like me?"

"Why don't you look like it? This is your uniqueness. Even your voice has changed. I really don't know how you can do it." Tao Zheng smiled bitterly and sighed.

The brother and sister slowly walked towards the backyard, and Tao Zheng asked again: "I want to rush back to attend the sacrifices of Shanghai and Shang Ding Ri. Don't you go back with me?"

Tao Zhan shook his head, "My father asked me to pay attention to his movements to prevent Sun's family affairs from leaking. I also handle the affairs of the five slaves this time. Although I gave up, I want to see the final result. My second brother will go back by myself and I will stay in Xiangyang."

Tao Zheng looked at her and said with a smile: "This Liu Jing looks pretty, don't fall in love for a long time."

"snort"

Tao Zhan curled his lips disdainfully, "I don't know how many young men are with a handsome appearance. As for how easy it is to fall in love, my second brother underestimates me."

Speaking of this, Tao Zhan smiled mischievously again, "But I'm very curious. What did he want to do for those medicines? A Gu said that those medicines are all medicines for cultivating the foundation and Guyuan. Could it be that he is used to practice martial arts?"

"This is someone's private matter, so don't worry."

Tao Zheng looked at her again, and saw that she still looked like a middle-aged man, and couldn't help but sigh: "You are like this and you talk about women, which makes people feel very strange. You should hurry up and restore your true colors. I really can't stand it."
