Eighteen years passed in a flash.
It was another year of warmth in Sizhou City's prefecture.
Ciyang was a place of water and land, and a hundred miles southwest of it was Jining City, a large place of transport.
Business and travelers gathered, and it was an unprecedented prosperity.
Over the past few years, the weather had been beautiful, and the disaster of water and drought had not happened.
The people of Cenzhou were very prosperous.
The most fortunate thing was that they had a honest magistrate.
It was the magistrate of Changzhou City who had dealt with the officials clearly, and the thieves were not prosperous.
When it came to Lord Li, everyone in the Hezhou City praised him sincerely, "Qingtian." The house of Cenzhou was the old place of the ancient Kingdom of Lu during the Spring and Autumn Period.
It was a place of great value and a place of great talent.
Since ancient times, there had been a large number of heroes.
From Kong Laozi, the Wen Shengzi, to Song Jiang, the chief bandit who occupied a mountain and became king, all kinds of things were exposed.
After Lord Li took office, he ran the runhouse, which emphasized literary.
Ten years of education, the house of Cenzhou was full of literary customs, great scholars gathered, and more students.
At dusk, the lessons in the Northern City Manor had just ended.
All the scholars hurried home with their backpacks on their backs.
Three young scholars walked out of the door of the dormitory.
They were all dressed like strangers, two tall and one short.
The short one on the right was handsome and refined, looking like a real white-faced scholar.
However, the one on the left had big eyes and bushy eyebrows.
He had strong muscles and looked like a martial arts examiner rather than a scholar.
He was quite attractive.
The one in the middle was also not inferior.
He was eight feet tall, with an apeback and a bee like a bee.
His eyes were very bright and unusual, and there was a faint smile on his mouth.
He was quite a lively and easy-going young man.
The three of them walked slowly and chatted and laughed softly.
The laughter of the rough man was very loud, attracting the attention of passers-by.
The gentle scholar said, "Brother Wang, Brother Li, would you like to sit in the teahouse in front?
Make two jugs of tea to relax." The rough man shook his head and said, "What's the taste of drinking tea?
I think we'd better go to the restaurant there and get some grain of best-quality sorghum.
We'll never go home until we're drunk." The refined scholar was shocked and hurriedly said, "No, no, absolutely no!
Brother Wang wants to compete with me in drinking again.
I'm afraid that you can't accept it." The rough and bold man surnamed Wang was extremely proud, and then burst into laughter.
The young man couldn't help but smile and say, "Don't say that Little Meng can't accept it.
This younger brother is no match for this younger brother of yours.
Also, this younger brother has been drinking so much alcohol that he's provoked uncle's thunderous rage.
I'm afraid he'll have to suffer again.
How can this younger brother bear it?" This younger brother was extremely afraid of his father, and he kept quiet after hearing this.
He didn't dare to mention anything about drinking again.
This was probably a lesson he had taught him before.
That little Meng was extremely relieved and said with a smile, "Brother Li's words are reasonable.
The teacher who drinks is famous and has a good interest.
Brother Wang can drink wine like an ox.
I don't agree with you." They flattered each other, but brother Wang didn't mind and smiled.
They strolled into the teahouse.
People in Shandong were good at wine and not good at tea.
There were many restaurants in the city, but there was only one teahouse.
The teahouse was full of guests, including scholars, farmers, merchants, and businessmen.
The three guests were regular guests here.
The Tea Master hurriedly came forward to greet them and said, "Have you three just finished class?
Please follow me.
The seats are reserved for you three." He led them to the second floor and pointed to a seat near the window.
He said, "Please sit down, gentlemen.
What tea are you drinking today?" The young man surnamed Li said, "A pot of Longjing tea." The Tea Master went downstairs to make tea.
The young man surnamed Li looked around and saw four strong men sitting next to him.
They were magnanimous and drinking like oxen.
The young man surnamed Li couldn't help but frown.
Most of the guests upstairs were learned scholars, so they should at least pretend to be mediocre and elegant.
Why did these four vulgar idiots come here?
The stout man on the opposite side seemed to find that someone was looking at him.
He raised his head alertly.
His eyes were unfriendly and there was a hint of provocation in them.
The young man surnamed Li was very unhappy.
On second thought, he laughed and said, "I don't like him.
I'm afraid he has the same feeling.
It's not worth it to be bored for such a small thing." Thinking about it, he felt relieved and looked at the seat next to him.
They were three middle-aged men with average looks, wearing silks and satins, looking like nouveau riche.
They were all talking big on the other side.
One of them had a fat body and a mouth full ofPLCs, as if he was a local.
He said, "Mr.
Tian, I've been to many places when I went out to do business, but unfortunately I've never been to the south.
I've heard people say how prosperous Jiangnan City is.
Mr.
Tian is knowledgeable from the south.
Can you tell me more about it so that my frog at the bottom of the well can broaden my horizon?" Boss Tian had a pointed mouth andCONe cheeks.
He said with mellifluous mumbles, "If we were in the south of the Yangtze River, we would be the richest man in the world, and there is nowhere to go.
Brother Liu, you know, every year the imperial court will pay taxes, almost every one of us Atmospheric Branch, Songcheng Lake, and Hangzhou Province.
It can be said that we have feed and support all of the people in the south of the Yangtze River." Hearing his boast, Boss Liu and Zhou Fei were already displeased.
However, Boss Tian continued, "There are many talents and beautiful women in the south of the Yangtze River, and the peddlers can write with their pen and pen in their mouth.
Don't say that Nanjing is the first big city in the world, even bigger than the capital.
It's a big city in Suzhou, with a million permanent residence.
It's a prosperous city." One side became more and more excited while the other side became more and more impatient.
Boss Liu coughed heavily.
Only then did Boss Tian find that the two people looked strange.
He quickly said, "Of course, your place is not worse than the south of the Yangtze River." He laughed hollowly to cover up his embarrassment.
Boss Liu looked complacent.
He stroked the goatee under his jaw and said with a smile, "Yes.
There have been several years of rich life, and we are very rich.
Our business is also extraordinarily prosperous, and we have made a lot of money.
We don't have to travel thousands of miles like in the previous years, and have suffered from hardships.
We just need to sit at home and let gold and silver flow into your waist like flowing water." Boss Tian's face was full of envy, and his saliva almost flowed down.
He asked, "Brother, could you please teach us something." Boss Liu said, "No, it's all thanks to the magistrate of the prefecture, Hong Fu.
In terms of our magistrate, he is really a good official that will only appear once in a century." After a series of praises came up, they were endless.
The young man surnamed Li was secretly pleased, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
The scholar surnamed Meng gently touched him, leaned over his ear and whispered, "Brother Li, they're praising your Lordship." It turned out that the young man surnamed Li was the son of the magistrate of the prefecture, known as Tianci.
Mr.
Li was right.
He had received a gift from the heaven when he was old, so he got his name.
When Mr.
Li arrived in Cenzhou 18,years ago, he was still a sturdy young man.
One of his companions was called Wang Zhiyuan, while the other was known as Meng Wenying.
They were both children of official families with good moral standing.
In the past, Tianci talked about his ambitions with them, and they made friends with each other.
Tianci had heard too many praises from his father in his daily life.
Those people were not his father's subordinates, but just his classmates and friends.
He did not take them seriously.
When he heard a few strangers praising his father today, it was obvious that they were sincere words and would not be false.
Tianci was secretly gratified and delighted.
Suddenly, the strong man in the opposite seat laughed loudly, and his laughter was full of ridicule.
However, there was a funny person next to him, asking, "Why did you laugh?" The second brother said sarcastically, "The dog emperor searched for the cream of the people.
He was so greedy that his sky was three feet high.
The dog emperor's corrupt officials were as greedy as evil ghosts and as vicious as wolves.
The dog emperor's assistant, Li Mingxuan, was called "Master Qingtian" because he was less greedy.
Do you think it's funny?" The four of them all laughed together.
The person who asked the question said, "Second brother is right.
The world's crows are black, how could there be any upright official?
The dog official Li Mingfu seems to be seeking reputation, but in his bones, he's still not as greedy." The four people's voices were loud and clear, drawing the attention of the guests upstairs.
They had all heard them.
Tianci's words entered his ears and he could not help but be enraged.
He was about to lose his temper.
Wang Zhiyuan, however, could not hold back his anger any longer.
He leaped up and pointed at the burly man, scolding him, "You dog, how audacious of you!
How dare you insult Lord Li!
Our Cenzhou Prefecture is a place ruled by the rules of the heavens.
You can't be so presumptuous." The burly man didn't give in.
He stood up, crossed his arms over his chest, and said with an evil smile, "The son of a dog officer is a dog.
I say, a dog, I'm naturally bold and I'm not afraid of the law.
What can you do to me?
Come up and try if you have the guts." Wang Zhiyuan was furious and was about to make a move.
Meng Wenwu was extremely worried.
He pulled him back hurriedly and then pressed down on Tianci who was eager to fight.
He whispered, "Your honor, you don't have to mind my fault.
Why bother yourself arguing with these two fools?
Sit down, drink some tea, and drink some tea." The scholar was well-bred.
It was rude for him to start a fight.
The two suppressed their anger and sat down angrily.
They ignored the taunting looks and ignored them.
After this dispute, the three people's spirits were greatly reduced, and they took a few swigs of wine before they left.
After leaving the teahouse, Wang and Meng took their leave and returned home one after another.
Tianci walked alone in low spirits, his mind rising and falling, and he thought, "My father has worked hard all his life for the sake of the country and the people.
What he has done is worthy of the world and the people of the country.
In the end, he has been insulted by several dog heads for no reason.
My father often said, "The present Emperor is a rare wise emperor, but those dog heads have said a lot of rude words.
If the sages teach the future generations of people what they do and what they do, they love Shan Shan.
Are those dog heads blind?" He thought for a while and turned a few streets.
There was a courtyard, a brick wall, and a red lacquered door by the side of the road.
He was home.
Tianci gently knocked on the knocker and called out loudly, "Uncle Youyi, I'm back." The door creaked open and a silver-haired elder with wrinkled wrinkles appeared.
He said with a smile, "My good young master, you're finally back.
Miss has been waiting for an entire afternoon and is in a very bad mood.

Young master, you have to be careful." Tianci smiled and asked, "Is my dad back?" He said righteously, "He hasn't come back yet." Tianci nodded.
His father was busy with official business and always went home late.
Tianci had become accustomed to it.
At this moment, a silvery sound came from the hall.
"Elder brother, why did you come back so late?
I've been waiting for you for a long time." A delicate and pretty little girl jumped out of laughter.
The girl was 13,or 14,years old, with a graceful figure and picturesque eyes.
She wore a bright red suit, and her temple was still sweating.
She held a narrow long sword in her hand.
The blade had not yet been opened, which was a blunt thing for training.
Seeing his sister's smiling face, Tianci's depressed mood was swept away.
He said, "Today, Gu'zi was very excited.
When he talked about books, his mouth was like a river.
He talked non-stop.
Everyone was fascinated by his words, so it was a little late for us to end the class." The little girl hugged her brother's arm and said cutely, "What nonsense.
I must've gone off with some of your evil associates.
I've already confessed, am I right?" Seeing this, Tianci was even more afraid to tell the truth.
So he continued to spout nonsense, "My good sister, I dare not lie to you.
Look at me carefully, I am not drunk or beaten black and blue because of the yellow soup.
How can you say that I fooled around?
Today, I told you the lecture of Breaking Obsession to the late spring shower, and only the sage 'I and the point' gave a high remark.
It is strange to say that it was not said by predecessors.
I have benefited a lot from it." The little girl said, "I read this part of the book once.
It talked about the path of sons.
It was pointed out by the four disciples of Gongxi and Qinghua.
On the way to sons, they were willing to introduce themselves.
Only they once said that " bath, dance, and write." The Sage Kong agreed with them and sighed.
"I agree with the point." This part of the book had already been settled.
It would be very boring to ask the old man to hang on to the end of the book." Tianci laughed.
"When a man swallows the dates, he does not seek to have any solution.
There is no confuse.
From the literal perspective, 'I and the point' do agree with his former ambition.
But Guzi has another brilliant view.
His mind is only that he is unique.
It is totally different from the original idea of a saint being both good and evil.
It is not worth analogism for later generations.
A good man's ambition is everywhere.
Accordingly, he should consider the whole world as his own duty to save the world.
A son should have his own ambition.
The saying 'I and the point' is just what people once experienced after Zhou You and your country suffered setbacks.
They sigh about the decline of the king's Tao and the decline of the world.
Most of the scholars of Song have poor literary principles and not asked about the spiritual nature.
They make careless comments, but do not know the good intention of the saint.
You are deeply influenced by the poison left by Song Shu, and so are the people.
Disappointed, it has been a waste!" The little girl smiled and said, "Too sour.
Old sour Ding taught a group of little sour boys who only knew how to bite words and chew on the horns.
That old man Gu became angry the moment he thought of it.
He came to visit us a few days ago, but he refused to leave once the topic was started.
This caused dad to accompany him until late at night." Tianci couldn't help laughing and said, "Gu's son is a learned old scholar, full of knowledge.
Daddy talked with him so happily that it was late at night.
You don't understand adults' things." The little girl was dissatisfied, so she turned her face to Tianci and sneered.
She knew that if she continued to argue with him, she would suffer a lot.
So she quickly changed the topic and asked, "Sister, you have been practicing swordsmanship all afternoon.
Have you made any progress?" The little girl immediately became excited.
She pulled Tianci up and left.
"I've just practiced a few supreme arts.
Let's have a competition.
I'm no match for me." The brother and sister brought each other to the backyard.
The backyard was originally a small garden.
Tianci became interested in martial arts when he was ten.
Mr.
Li couldn't bear to take advantage of the situation, so he separated the backyard from the backyard into a martial arts field.
He built knives, spears, spears, arrows, and other instruments for training.
He also invited a few masters.
These people were either boxers who set up a martial arts center in the city or colleagues who knew how to play with weapons.
Their martial arts was mediocre.
But little Tianci was very talented and was willing to put on hard work.
He never stopped practicing.
Over the years, he had grown up from young and several masters were no longer his opponents.
In the backyard, he no longer invited his master.
He only practiced hard in the backyard.
He often sparred with Wang Zhiyuan.
Wang Zhiyuan also practiced some martial arts from his family.
He was barely able to withstand the master's SOX.
The little girl saw that her brother learned martial arts as well.
When the master taught his brother, she just drew the calabash gourd by the side.
Without a master, she invited him to do good for him.
The one near Zhu, the one near Mo, the dark one around Mo.
Unexpectedly she had learned a good martial arts.
Today, the little girl had created a few trump cards for herself in the backyard.
She wanted to compete with her brother when it was itchy.
As soon as she arrived at the backyard, she could not wait to set up a defensive posture and cried out, "Brother, please enter!" Tianci secretly laughed at his sister's victory.
He tucked the hem of his robe around his waist and took out a heavy broadsword from the weapon rack, dancing it into a ball of white light.
"Come on!
Let's see if your newly mastered unique skill will work." The little girl was angry and anxious, and she looked afraid.
She pouted and said, "No, I want to compete with you in sword skills.
Take the sword now." Tianci laughed and said, "If I want to deal with you with a new trick, I have to show my trump card.
If you're afraid, we won't fight with each other." The little girl teased, "Your strength is as strong as a bull.
When you wield a broadsword, I dare not touch my long sword.
You bully me." The more she said, the more aggrieved she felt, and tears welled up in her eyes.
The next scene would be a scene of crying, and the world would be turned upside down.
Tianci had taught him a lesson in the past.
Once bitten by a snake, he would be afraid of trouble for ten years.
So he hurriedly said, "My good sister, let's just fight with swords." He put down the broadsword and wielded a sword.
He casually drew a sword flower, only to find it very light and awkward.
Tianci gave a bitter smile and said, "Oh no, it doesn't work.
I'm bound to lose this time." The little girl's desire to win rose again, and she became more confident.
She laughed and said, "You deserve it!
Who told you not to practice the sword carefully?" She practiced it as she said.
When Tianci was not prepared, her long sword danced like the blue clouds, rushing straight to Tianci's palace.
Her attacks were fierce.
The new unique skills she came up with were really extraordinary.
Tianci was dazzled for a moment, but he was unable to move.
He could not use brute force to take it head-on, taking advantage of his sister's weak body.
He had no choice but to retreat.
The little girl gained the upper hand and attacked.
Her sword danced up and down, and her attacks became more violent.
But she was too arrogant.
She was too focused on attacking and neglected the defense.
Her footwork was also disordered.
Tianci was waiting for this opportunity.
He suddenly stooped down and brandished his long sword to protect his upper body.
His legs swept toward the girl's feet like the wind.
He was caught off guard when the girl's sudden move caught him off guard.
The girl's sword movements were all messed up.
If he was careless, Tianci would hit her ankle and she would almost fall.
Tianci stood up and said with a smile, "Thanks for your mercy!" This Jianghu saying was learned from his master.
It would seem inappropriate to use it now.
The little girl was not disappointed.
She threw the sword on the ground and shouted, "I'm so mad!" Then she turned and ran away.
Tianci knew his sister's temper well.
She had said too much just now.
If he lost, she would not be able to walk away.
He was so ashamed and resentful that he did not need to mind her.
So he did not chase after her but just practiced by himself.
Soon it was getting dark, but Tianci did not stop practicing.
First, he shut down the knife, practiced a few pistols, and finally lifted the stone lock to train his strength.
The stone lock weighing more than a hundred pounds was as light as a piece of cake in his hand.
The little girl jumped up and down and came to the courtyard again, with a big smile on her face.
Obviously, she had already thrown away her failure just now.
She said with a smile, "Brother, stop practicing.
Dad's calling you." Tianci had a lot of questions to ask his father.
He asked, "Where's dad?
What do you want me to do?" The little girl threatened, "He's in the study.
I just complained to dad that you bullied me.
He's in a rage and is ready to give you a good lesson.
Be careful, don't say that you didn't warn me." Tianci smiled and rejected it.
His father often lectured him with honesty, but he was never angry.
His father was always kind and patient, and lured him along, and allowed him to refute.
Sometimes, the Headmaster and Tianci had their own ways.
They argued, and his father did not get angry.
In the end, they could finally find out who was right and who was wrong and who was wrong.
His father praised his own ideas.
He also respected his father's magnanimity.
If things went on like this, it would almost become a daily lesson for the father and his son.
It would be a pleasure to them.
He rushed to the study and saw Lord Li holding a teacup in one hand and reading a scroll in the other.
The room was simply furnished.
There were only a few mountains and rivers, a few scrolls, and a few books.
Tianci called gently, "Daddy." The Punisher stood aside.
