Chapter 111 The confused Pei Gong
On the way to Liu's house, Jiao Li also heard from the Pei County magistrate and others about Liu Ji's situation. They all said that this man was a scoundrel, idle and had nothing to do. There is no achievement.
One person speaking ill of a person may be maliciously slandering that person; two persons speaking ill of him may be conspiring with another person to slander that person.
But so many people say that even this person’s father thinks so, so there is probably something wrong.
Jiao Li also didn’t understand why the king said to invite Liu Ji’s family, and even named Liu Ji to invite Liu Ji to Xianyang. Maybe it was as Liu Taigong said, someone had slandered the king and asked the king to invite Liu Ji to Xianyang. Liu Ji had a misunderstanding.
But why did this person fall into Liu Ji's slander? Liu Ji only had a slight reputation in Peixian County, but in the whole world, he was just an unknown person. Who could he make enemies with?
When Liu Taigong and Jiao Li met, on the other side, Liu Jiao found his third brother Liu Ji at Fan Kuai's house.
Liu Jizheng was sitting in front of a table with a pot of fragrantly cooked dog meat on it. Liu Ji held a dog leg in his right hand. While eating the meat, he gestured with his left hand to brag to the younger brothers in the room. .
The younger brothers in the room listened with gusto, and their eyes shone brightly. If their inner activities at this moment could be directly expressed in words, they would be "Big brother is mighty!", "Big brother is awesome!", "Shengdangru." Big Brother!" and other words.
At this moment, someone opened the door curtain in a hurry. Liu Ji stopped bragging and glanced over.
Seeing that the visitor was his younger brother Liu Jiao, with a heavy look of panic on his face, Liu Ji frowned: "Jiao, why are you so panicked?"
He was suddenly interrupted, and he was listening to Liu Ji bragging with great interest. The younger brothers looked displeased, but when they heard that the person coming was the eldest brother and younger brother, they all relaxed and didn't say anything, but they all looked concerned.
If the elder brother has something to do, the younger brother should do his part!
Liu Jiao said solemnly: "Brother, a group of people came to our house. I heard that the county magistrate is accompanying this group of people. My father and eldest brother have returned home, and they asked me to come find you."
Liu Jiao did not say that Liu Xuan asked him to go home quickly after finding his third brother Liu Ji.
He understood that Liu Xuan did not ask him to go home with his third brother at all, but to take him away so that his third brother could find a way to solve the problem or take him to escape.
Liu Ji also realized the seriousness of the problem, but he did not show any embarrassment. Instead, he comforted Liu Jiao. He took a bite of the dog leg and said with a smile: "What a big deal, maybe it's because A great news has come to our family?”
Liu Jiao was also affected by Liu Ji’s relaxed tone, and his heavy heart couldn’t help but relax, he thought. After thinking about it, he said: "Zhuo Ye is just like what my brother said, saying it is a good thing."
One of the younger brothers in the room said: "Brother, although it is a good thing, I still want to go home as soon as possible. I will I'd like to go with my brother and see who they are!"
Fan Kuai also said: "Yes, brother, I still have to go home and take a look, just in case those people..."
< br>
Fan Kuai made a subtle killing gesture to Liu Ji.
All the boys in the room began to persuade Liu Ji to go home and have a look. They were willing to go with Liu Ji.
Liu Jiao looked at this scene and was quite surprised. He had heard that his third brother Liu Ji was quite prestigious among these people, but he didn’t expect him to be so high. What they meant was exactly : If the group of people who come to their house are evil, then the third brother and his brother will kill that group of people.
But according to Zhuo, the officials of that group may be higher than the county magistrate. If they kill the group, they will all become fugitives and be wanted.
At this moment, Liu Jiao thought that his third brother Liu Ji was not as useless as his father and sister-in-law said, indolent and idle.
"Bang!"
Liu Ji slapped the dog's leg heavily on the case, shocking Liu Jiao.
Liu Ji stood up, wiped the oil from his hands on his clothes casually, walked up to Fan Kuai and other young men, and bowed down in front of their puzzled eyes. "Ji Xin accepts the good intentions of the brothers. However, this is a matter for the Ji family. I don't know the blessings and misfortunes. How can I let the brothers also fall into the fire?"
Fan Kuai suddenly said displeased: "What did brother say? Brother is our brother, and he is our relative. If brother has something at home, that means we have something. If we watch today, how will others see us in the future?"
"My brother usually helps me a lot, but now that he has something to do, how can I back down!"
If a younger brother can't afford to eat, Liu Ji will take him to his home to eat; if a younger brother has no money to spend, Liu Ji will give it to him Money, even Liu Ji himself didn't have much money.
Many people here have eaten at Liu Ji's house, and Liu Ji's sister-in-law is tired of going there too many times.
One time when Liu Ji brought someone over to eat, his sister-in-law kept scraping the bottom of the pot and pretended that the meal was finished. But after the people left, Liu Ji entered the kitchen and saw that there was still rice in the pot. Then he knew what was going on, and he felt resentment towards his sister-in-law.
Other younger brothers also spoke up, and Liu Jicheng sighed: "Ji dare not refuse the kindness of brothers. If that's the case, then follow my orders."
The younger brother in the room suddenly became quiet, only to hear Liu Jidao: "Those who are the only children in the family are not allowed to go with them, and those with young sons are not allowed to go with them..."
Liu Jicai said two things, and then one of the younger brothers said anxiously: " Brother!"
The younger brother just said the word "brother" when he was interrupted sharply: "I said Listen to my order, either leave alone and Ji go home, or listen to what I have to say."
"I know the good intentions of all brothers, but this is a matter for Ji's family, how can it affect all brothers. ?”
After Liu Ji said this, the younger brother swallowed back what he wanted to say and listened silently to Liu Ji’s arrangements.
In such a short period of time, Liu Ji came up with a solution.
After finishing his order, Liu Ji glanced at Fan Kuai and gestured to Liu Jiao.
Fan Kuai understood and hit Liu Jiao on the back of the head, making him unconscious.
Liu Ji supported Liu Jiao's body, handed it to a younger brother, and entrusted him: "Hand it, he will be handed over to you."
After that, he gave another shout to the younger brothers. Bye, he wants to go home to see what's going on. If he can't come back, he will let his younger brothers who won't go with him take Liu Jiao away to preserve the incense for the Liu family.
Liu Ji took his younger brother who was going with him, found some weapons, and hurried back to Liu's house. On the road, a fellow villager told him: "Liu Ji, why are you still here? Go home quickly, you want to be rich." Now that you are rich, don’t forget us.”
Liu Ji and his brothers were confused. The situation seemed to be different from what they thought. What was going on?
The group of people who came to his house is not a disaster, is it really a blessing? But why?
The biggest official he knew was Zhang Er, and Zhang Er was only a county magistrate. But according to the report, the visitor asked the county magistrate to accompany him. The official must be bigger than the county magistrate. I have never known anyone who is such a high official.
This was also the reason why he immediately thought that the person coming was evil.
How is it possible that an unknown official came to tell him the good news?
It’s probably a disaster!
But now the villagers actually told him that he was going to be prosperous, which meant that the person who came here was doing good things to him, which made Liu Ji confused for a while.
Is there really a high-ranking official he doesn’t know who is sending him blessings?
