"By the way," Liu Jing took out a letter from his arms, handed it to Huan Jie, and said, "This is a letter written by the Duke to Huan Jun. He specifically asked me to deliver it to Huan Jun."
Huan Jie took the letter with a smile on his face. When the Jingzhou army came across the river the year before last, he was inspired by Liu Jing and worked for his second brother Huan Yi to get the post of Leiyang order in Guiyang County, and asked the latter to lead it.
He led a large number of Huan clan members to go south to avoid disaster, so as to prevent their family from being harmed by them.
As Linxiang was besieged by the Jingzhou army, the two brothers completely lost contact with each other. After two years, Huanjie once again received a letter from his second brother. He was overjoyed beyond words.
Liu Jing added: "Not long ago, all the officials from Guiyang County came to Leiyang to welcome the Duke to take charge of Guiyang. Now I think that the Duke has entered Chen County and succeeded him as the Grand Administrator of Guiyang."
Huan Jie was very pleased to hear this and sighed: "My Huan family has lived in Dianzhou County for several generations, and now I finally have a man with two thousand dan in my family."
Originally, Huan Yi's father Huan Sheng was expected to become the prefect of Liangqianshi in Huanjie. He was famous in the south for his talent and virtue, and was promoted to minister. Unfortunately, he died of illness in his prime and could not go further.
Huan Jie then expressed his gratitude to Liu Jing. Huan Yi's appointment as the governor of Guiyang was a move to win over Zhang Xian when he was dying, so that Huan Jie could devote himself to assisting his eldest son Zhang Yi.
However, this was just a name. The officials in Guiyang County refused to let Huan Yi take over Guiyang until Liu Jing recently annihilated the Jingzhou army. The officials in Guiyang were afraid that Liu Jing, who had always been friendly with Huan Yi, would settle their scores in the future.
Then he hurriedly made amends and made up for his mistakes.
Therefore, it is said that Huan Yi can become a veritable two thousand stone, all thanks to Liu Jing's contribution.
Liu Jing exchanged greetings with Huan Jie for a while, and then turned to look at the students who were standing at the side with hands tied.
He is not tall in stature, has a long and narrow face, sharp eyes like an eagle's, a high and long nose bridge, and slightly downward corners of his mouth, making it hard to get along with him at first glance. However, he is such a cruel person, and he led the crowd just now.
When the ministers met Liu Jing, they were quite flattering. In comparison, Huan Jie seemed more dignified. But Liu Jing didn't think it was strange. This was the way of survival for the cruel officials in the Han Dynasty, respecting the superiors and being cruel to the inferiors.
Liu Jing opened his mouth and said: "Cheng Teng, after so many years, are you all right?"
The two of them had an affair back then, but later they paid back the 20,000 yuan and took the initiative to resolve the grudge. After that, they became more submissive to Liu Jing. As long as Liu Jing gave instructions, he would complete them with all his heart, and he could still be regarded as half of his own people.
Liu Jing subconsciously glanced at the stern-looking Liu Liang beside him. In the past, his father was beaten to death by his grades. In the past, he was young and humble and had no way to get grades. Now...
Liu Jing felt that he needed to remind Liu Liang privately so that he would not go too far.
Qi Qi also noticed Liu Liang, and secretly complained in his heart. Although Liu Liang was valued by Liu Jing in the past, as a junior official of fifteen or sixteen years old, Qi Qi was one of the "Five Officials" of Prefect Zhang Xian, so naturally he would not regard him
I never thought that in just a few years, the other party would follow Liu Jing and soar into the sky.
If Liu Liang insists on retaliating, Qi Qi will be helpless. The only way is to ask Liu Jing to make peace with him and pay a large amount of money to compensate Liu Liang and his son. For the sake of his own life, Qi Qi will naturally not be stingy with money.
Zhi Zhi instantly calmed down and bowed again, saying: "We and other officials in Linxiang are looking forward to Liu Jun's return day and night to ensure the people's livelihood..."
Liu Jing stepped forward to lift the score up and said with a smile, "Why is Cheng Teng so polite?"
Zhang Zhi said sternly: "If this is not the case, it is not enough to show the villain's respect for Liu Jun."
Liu Jing smiled and shook his head, and then spoke to several county officials respectively. Since there were so many Changsha county officials who came to greet him, Liu Jing would definitely not be able to take care of everyone, so in the end he could only encourage the officials in public to settle the matter. .
After meeting with the officials in Changsha, Liu Jing turned to Wang Qiang, Ou Xiong, Song Lin and others.
Liu Jing strode to Wang Qiang, took his hand, and laughed and said: "Zijian, that day you asked for a meeting alone and suggested that I take advantage of the victory to attack Linxiang. Although I agreed to your suggestion, I was not without worries. Now that Linxiang has been defeated in the battle, the counties in the north of Changsha have also been sorted out, just as you said that day."
Wang Qiang did not take any credit and was arrogant. He replied in a deep voice: "The villain's advice is just following the trend and there is nothing surprising about it. Liu Jun promotes benevolent and righteous soldiers and defies the people to attack crimes. He is invincible in every battle and invincible in every attack."
Liu Jing shook his head and said: "When it comes to benevolence and righteousness, there is no one who can compare with King Wen in ancient and modern times. But if there is no Lu Shang, how can we destroy Shang? Since ancient times, 'Thousands of armies are easy to get, but one general is hard to find.' Zijian, you have contributed so much." , to be the best among the generals, there is no need to be modest."
Wang Qiang's cold and deep face was slightly moved, and he said: "The villain was originally a poor and lowly person, and he was harmed by traitors. It was Liu Jun who took the villain out of the world, entrusted him with important tasks, and granted him military power. Such a favor, the villain Even if a person is devastated, he cannot repay the misfortune."
"You deserve this." Liu Jing said with a smile. The so-called "traitor" in Wang Qiang's words undoubtedly refers to Pan Qin, the "Zi Qian family". Wang Qiang had previously mentioned in his letter that he had killed him and would Tens of millions of his "unjust family properties" were confiscated, but no further details were given.
Liu Jing hated loan sharking so much that he would kill him. He was worried that Wang Qiang would kill innocent people indiscriminately, so he simply asked about it.
Wang Qiang briefly told what happened. Liu Jing learned that he only killed Pan Qin and those who had participated in beating him. He couldn't help but feel relieved and praised: "The meaning of "Spring and Autumn": 'Good deeds spread to descendants. The evil will stop itself.' You have done a good job in not taking your anger out on Pan Qin's family."
"..." Wang Qiang's eyes twitched. Liu Jing's words of praise made him feel guilty. If Liu Zhu hadn't appeared in time to stop him, he would have killed all the men, women and children in Pan Qin's family.
Liu Jing then praised Ou Xiong and Song Lin again, saying that they indeed played a vital role in the capture of Linxiang. The Linxiang powerful coalition forces organized by Ou Xiong have always acted as a vanguard. , took the lead in advancing into Linxiang, and only after the situation was completely stabilized did Liu Jingjun enter the city.
After meeting with the civil and military officials, the Changsha County officials respectfully invited Liu Jing to get into the carriage. Liu Jing looked at the crowds of people outside Jindu and the enthusiastic Linxiang people. He shook his head and said: "Confucius was in the township party, and he was as miserable as ever. I'll go back." How can you ignore your fellow villagers and leave alone when you get to your hometown?" After that, Liu Jing ignored everyone's dissuasion and walked out of Jindu, waving to thousands of Linxiang people around him.
Liu Jing's approachable approach made the people in Linxiang even more excited. The cheers soared into the sky and shook the sky. They continued until Liu Jing left in the car.
