Liu Jing's decision to spare Zhou's horse and severely punish the four Wang and Yin not only won the unanimous love of the city officials, but also made the onlookers marvel.
"Liu Jun is really a gentleman! As a servant of a district city, he will not hesitate to offend the hero District Yuan Bo!"
"As long as Lord Liu upholds justice, who will dare to act wildly in the market in the future?"
Some people even sighed: "I heard that Liu Jun stood up for Jing Man and convinced Zhou Wei, but I didn't agree with it. I thought that Zhou Wei was the slave of his brother Liu Bosi after all. If he were replaced by Uncle Yuan, he would
Then I may not dare to intervene. Alas! I just found out today that I was very wrong! I should look for an opportunity to apologize to Liu Jun in person."
The people next to him laughed at him and said, "Haha, aren't you just wishful thinking? How can you see Mr. Liu just by saying you want to see him?"
The man said seriously: "Why not? Mr. Liu is not afraid of the powerful, but he is very kind to us and other subordinates..."
"Yes, Mr. Liu is a kind man. Whenever we meet on the road and someone salutes him, no matter whether he is a scholar or a commoner, he will receive a response."
"Uncle Ou Yuan has a ferocious temperament and has always acted unscrupulously. I'm afraid he won't let it go."
"Does he still dare to be reckless with Liu Jun?..."

Han law: "If you use a sword to injure someone in a fight, you will become the Dan of the City; the thief will be punished by the first degree, and he will be guilty of the same crime as the conspirator."
That is to say, fighting and wounding someone with a weapon is a crime of being beaten; a thief's injury is an intentional wounding, which is an additional crime of first degree, and being beaten with a pair of pincers; an accomplice who participates in the conspiracy is guilty of the same crime as the person who committed the crime.
In other words, although only one of the four Wang Yin was able to injure someone with a blade, the other three could not escape the relationship and would be severely punished, and none of the four could escape.
Not only that, Han law: "If a lower lord beats a higher lord, he will be fined four taels." The same is true for civilians who offend young officials. A large fine will be waiting for them. If they do not pay, they will be severely punished.
Liu Jing was too lazy to pay attention to Wang Yin and others anymore, so he asked the city warden to take them away and put them in the city prison to await the verdict against Cao Cao.
Then he led a group of city officials into the wine shop. When he saw Ma Zhou, he found that the latter had been put on heavy shackles. With a look of hesitation on his face, he asked the chief of the pavilion: "Who put the shackles on him?"
?He has done no fault, so why should he be regarded as a sinner? Let’s take off the shackles soon.”
"No." A thin layer of sweat broke out on the forehead of the pavilion chief. In fact, there is nothing wrong with putting shackles on Ma Zhou. He is not an ordinary person, but a highly skilled martial artist who can easily defeat four rangers. Who knows if he will be there?
When they got close, they suddenly broke out into trouble, kidnapped the officials and fled.
However, against all calculations, Liu Jinghui did not count on Liu Jinghui's efforts to save Ma Zhou. The pavilion chief could only admit that he was unlucky. In order to make up for his mistake and try his best to save his image in front of Liu Jing, he pushed away the pavilion soldiers and personally defended Ma Zhou.
Take off the shackles.
Ma Zhou has been silent since Liu Jing came in. The pavilion chief knew that he had doubts in his heart. This man was outstanding in martial arts and Liu Jing valued him. In the future, he might not be able to be accommodated by a small market servant. At this time, he might as well sell
A good one whispered in his ear:
"Liu Jun was very angry that those four people dared to openly attack the city officials in the downtown area. He has personally given the order. They will definitely not escape severe punishment. At the very least, they will be sentenced to being tortured by a pair of pincers, so there is nothing to worry about."
Ma Zhou's thick eyebrows stretched, and the big stone hanging in his heart finally fell. The pavilion chief's previous worries were justified. He did have the idea of hijacking officials to escape, but the chance of success was too low, not even 10%.
, instead of risking almost certain death by kidnapping officials, it is better to take a gamble on Liu Jing.
With Liu Jing's usual style, he may not be able to lend a helping hand to him. Even if the probability is low, it is definitely much higher than hijacking an official to escape. Ma Zhou even thinks that the probability is between 50 and 50, and he does not
I know where this inexplicable confidence comes from.
Facts have proved that he was right.
Liu Jingzhen helped him.
Ma Zhou took off his shackles, took back the sword from the hands of the pavilion chief, hung it on his waist, then stood upright with a solemn face, bowed and thanked Liu Jing: "Thank you very much, Mr. Liu, for your kindness. I, Ma Zhou, swear here today that in the future Liu Jing will
You have an order, and even if you go through fire and water, you will do whatever you want. If you violate it, heaven and man will punish you!"
"It doesn't have to be like this. If you don't support the city officials, what's the use of my city history?" Liu Jing smiled and helped Ma Zhou up. Seeing that his arm was bandaged quite casually and was faintly soaked in blood, he asked with concern: "Your arm
How's the injury? Is it okay?"
Ma Zhou replied: "Thank you very much, Mr. Liu, for caring about me. It's just a minor injury, it's not worth mentioning."
Liu Jing shook his head and said: "Don't you know the truth of 'a dike of a thousand miles will collapse in an ant nest'? No injury is a small matter, so you should find a doctor to treat the wound as soon as possible."
"No." Ma Zhou felt very warm in his heart.
Liu Jing invited Ma Zhou to go to the market together. At the same time, he sent an official to the doctor's office to ask for a doctor, and another official to the market to buy medicine. Ma Zhou was very moved. At this time, Liu Jing asked him to fight for his life, and he also
Never frown.
Liu Jing returned to the market building and found Xie Liang waiting at the door of the market building with a worried look on his face, obviously he had learned the news.
"Liu Jun, you can just protect me, why bother to embarrass Uncle Ou Yuan? Uncle Ou Yuan has always been a tough man, there is really no need to provoke him." Xie Liang came closer and whispered, with a hint of complaint in his tone.
Liu Jing glanced at him sideways and said with a sullen look on his face: "The other party openly attacked the city officials in the downtown area. Do you want me to turn a blind eye to this?"
Liu Jing's businesslike appearance immediately left Xie Liang speechless.
Taking Ma Zhou to the room on the second floor, Liu Jing poured water for him and asked: "How old are you this year? Do you have any words?"
Ma Zhou hurriedly took the water cup with both hands and replied: "I am just twenty this year, and I don't have a nickname yet, the small character is A Zhou." After a pause, he added: "That is my name, because my father's surname is Ma, so
Mother’s surname is Zhou.”
Liu Dingding nodded. It was very common in the Han Dynasty to take the surname of the parents as a name, even for the Liu family in Longqiu. In the final analysis, it was because the literacy rate in the Han Dynasty was too low, so taking the surname of the parents was considered a good idea. Generally, it was
They are called Mr. Bo, Mr. Mr. and so on.
Then Liu Jing suggested: "How can a real man interact with others without words? If you don't mind it, how about I pick a word for you?"
"Thank you, Mr. Liu..." This was a great thing that he wished for. How could Ma Zhou not want to? He immediately bowed and said, "Please give me the words, Mr. Liu."
Liu Jing pondered for a moment and then said: "My martial arts skills are extraordinary, but I am reckless. You need to know that impulsiveness and wretchedness are not only the source of disaster, but also an obstacle to success."
" said: 'You must not be careless.' So I chose the word Zi Jin for you, hoping that you can think carefully before doing anything in the future."
Ma Zhou stared blankly at Liu Jing, with tears filling his eyes. He had never shed tears since he had his hair tied at the age of fifteen. However, today Liu Jing showed kindness and kindness and treated each other sincerely, and finally he couldn't help but shed tears.
