Liu Heng stayed in the Kou Mansion until midnight.
Kou Ji wanted to keep him overnight in Kou Mansion, but he refused.
He said that he had been promoted, and his friends in the dandy circle wanted to celebrate him, so he found a secret prostitute in Bianjing City. He originally wanted to invite Kou Ji there, but Kou Ji couldn't get out of bed now, so he planned to go alone.
Kou Ji reminded him a few words, asking him to pay attention and not to let the officials of the Yushi Yan pay attention, otherwise the newly promoted official might be demoted again.
Liu Heng agreed and left the Kou Mansion under the cold moonlight.
A night of silence.
The next morning, the sky was clear and clear.
Liu Heng and Cao Yi rushed to the Kou Mansion together.
One of them pushed a Koji bus and the other held a bearskin blanket to Ko Ji's bedroom.
"Fourth brother, the weather is nice today. The two of us will push you out for a walk..."
Liu Heng pushed Kou Gongqi into Kou Ji's bedroom and said with a smile.
Kou Ji glanced at the two of them, then his eyes fell on the Kou bus in Liu Heng's hand. He frowned and said, "Isn't this thing made by the Kou government?"
Liu Heng grinned, pushed Kou Gongqi to Kou Ji's bed, and said: "Fourth brother is indeed the fourth brother. His eyes are really poisonous. He can tell at a glance that this thing is not made by Kou's house."
While looking at the Kou bus in Liu Heng's hand, Kou Ji muttered: "I made this thing. If you bring a counterfeit thing in front of me, what's the difference between doing it like a slave?"
After Kou Ji looked at Kou's bus, he commented: "The imitation is good, but unfortunately there are a few key parts that are not done well. It will definitely be bumpy after you get on it.
There are also problems with the bearings and rivets, and their lifespan will not be too long.
Did your family’s craftsmen make it?”
When Liu Heng heard Kou Ji's criticism, he nodded slowly and said, "What the fourth brother said is, if the fourth brother has time, can you give them some advice?"
Kou Ji was stunned for a moment and asked, "What do you want this for?"
After a pause, Kou Ji looked at Liu Heng and said unexpectedly: "You want to make a profit from this?"
Liu Heng shook his head and said with a smile: "Didn't someone invite me to have a drink last night? Some of them wanted to make money from this thing and secretly made many copies. Although it was not as good as the Kou bus made by the Kou government, it was still usable.
They want to send you a message through me.
First, I want you to go over and give them some pointers.
Secondly, I want you to open your mouth and allow them to sell this thing.
If someone else made this thing, they would definitely copy it and sell it. But if you made this thing, and you don’t say anything, they wouldn’t dare to sell it.”
Kou Ji couldn't laugh or cry and said: "If they can make friends with you, they must have a lot of background behind them. There is no reason to be afraid of me, right?"
Liu Heng smiled and said: "Although you don't hang out in the dandy circle, you are still a member of the dandy circle. Naturally, they have to abide by the rules of the circle and give you some face."
Kou Ji said unexpectedly: "In business, you have to do whatever it takes. When did you learn to follow the rules?"
Liu Heng said frankly: "When people like us do business, we can only be regarded as half-businessmen. We naturally have to abide by the rules, otherwise conflicts will easily arise. Conflicts in our lives cannot be solved by ordinary money."
Hearing this, Kou Ji nodded thoughtfully and said, "I understand... go back and tell them that they can sell this thing however they want and I won't stop them.
I can also provide them with drawings to save them from wasting money on fumbling around.
After all, when I originally built this thing, I didn’t do it to make money.”
When Liu Heng heard this, he grinned, "Fourth brother is so generous..."
Kou Ji raised his hand and said, "Don't rush to praise me. The reason why I am so generous is also conditional."
Liu Heng was stunned and said in astonishment: "What conditions?"
After hesitating for a moment, he looked at Kou Ji with a strange expression and said, "Fourth brother wants to get 10% of it?"
Kou Ji glared at Liu Heng and cursed with a smile: "Am I such a philistine in your eyes?"
Liu Heng shook his head quickly and smiled dryly.
Kou Ji said seriously: "I don't care how they make money, but at the end of every year, they must donate a thousand Kou buses to the Six Diseases Museum and Loneliness Garden organized by the imperial court."
The Liuji Pavilion and Loneliness Garden are charitable institutions organized by the imperial court. They began in the Southern and Northern Dynasties and are still in use today.
The former takes in poor patients, while the latter takes in lonely elderly people and children whose parents have died and have no one to take care of them.
Liu Heng said with some astonishment: "Fourth brother is doing a good deed?"
Kou Ji shook his head and said with a smile: "It's not about doing good deeds. I just don't want to make money from Kou's bus, and I don't want to see them taking my things in vain, so I came up with this method."
Liu Heng opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.
Cao Yi stood aside with a bitter face and said sadly: "You two were chatting so happily that you almost forgot about me."
When Kou Ji and Liu Heng heard this, they were speechless and laughed.
Kou Ji looked at the bearskin blanket in Cao Yi's hand and said with a smile, "I have a lot of these in my house..."
Cao Yi rolled his eyes and said, "The ones in your house are from your house, and the ones I gave to you are from me. Can they be the same?"
Cao Yi raised the bearskin blanket in his hand and said, "This is the best one I carefully selected in the house."
Kou Ji smiled and said: "Since it is your intention, then I will accept it."
When Cao Yi heard this, he smiled with satisfaction.
He handed the bearskin blanket in his hand to Koji.
As soon as Kou Ji got the blanket, he heard Liu Heng say with a smile: "Kou's bus is here and the blanket is here, so don't stay at home. Let's push you out for a walk."
Kou Ji stared at the Kou bus in Liu Heng's hand, looked it over twice, shook his head and said, "I don't dare to sit on that Kou bus in your hand."
"Kou Zhong! Kou Zhong!"
Kou Ji said hello twice, and Kou Zhong appeared in the room.
"Young Master, what are your orders?"
Kou Ji ordered: "Go to the craftsmen in the house and ask them to choose a good Kou bus and send it to me."
Kou Zhong was stunned for a moment and asked, "Young Master, are you going out?"
Kou Ji nodded.
Kou Zhong reminded: "Then you have to dress warmly, it's cold outside today."
Kou Ji waved his hand and said, "You don't need to remind me, I know what to do."
Kou Zhong nodded and said no more.
He exited Kou Ji's bedroom, and not long after, he pushed a Kou Ji's bus to Kou Ji's bedroom.
Kou Ji put on a fox fur coat and asked Cao Yi and Liu Heng to help him sit on Kou's bus. He also covered him with a bearskin blanket sent by Cao Yi, and then let Cao Yi and Liu Heng push him out.
Enter the Kou Mansion.
There is no way to get through the front door.
Ever since the news spread that Kou Zhun planned to depose the Criminal Division, the gate of Kou's mansion, which had been quiet for a few days, was once again crowded with people.
The only difference is that last time it was officials from the capital who blocked the door and gave gifts, but this time it was relatives sent by officials from various places to block the door and give gifts.
The three of them could only go through the back door.
The back door was also crowded with people, but not as many as the front door.
Kou Ji wanted to use the secret door, but the secret door was too small, and the Kou Ji's bus was too big, so he couldn't get out.
So I can only go through the back door.
The three people arrived at the back door.
Liu Heng pretended to be evil and drove away those who blocked the door to give gifts, and then Cao Ji pushed Kou Ji out.
Those who came to give gifts were driven to both sides of the alley and watched Kou Ji leave in a Kou bus. They shouted at Kou Ji's Kou bus, hoping that Kou Ji would stop so that they could give generous gifts.
Climb a hypocritical.
Kou Ji ignored them, but urged Cao Yi and pushed him to leave quickly.
Cao Yi pushed Kou Ji forward a few steps.
A young man wearing a sheepskin coat pulled his neck and shouted at Koji.
"Kou Ji! Kou Ji! I am your brother! I am your brother!"
Kou Ji raised his eyebrows and glanced at the young man, but ignored him.
When the young man saw that Kou Ji ignored him, he became anxious. He took out a silver coin from his sleeve and threw it at Kou Ji.
"Shua~"
Then, in everyone's astonished eyes, a figure fell from the wall. The figure drew a knife and cut the silver pen in half. The sword's power continued unabated, and it was approaching the young man who threw the silver pen.
When Kou Ji saw this, he was startled and shouted hurriedly: "Don't hurt anyone's life!"
When the knife holder heard this, the knife in his hand drew an arc in the air, cut the young man's clothes, cut the young man's chest, and fell into the scabbard.
The man holding the knife turned around and stared at Kou Ji blankly.
Kou Ji saw a look of dissatisfaction in his eyes.
"He is really an evil star. He wants to kill people when he draws his sword..."
Kou Ji muttered in his heart and raised his hand to Mute Hu, "Thank you for your work..."
Duhu stared at Kou Ji blankly for a long time, then slowly walked out of the crowd, found a dark place, and disappeared in front of people.
"call……"
A stream of hot air sprayed onto Kou Ji's neck. Kou Ji turned around and saw Cao Yi looking at the place where the mute tiger disappeared with lingering fear on his face.
Kou Ji asked in astonishment: "Is he that scary?"
Cao Yan said in a deep voice: "Anyone who dares to kill someone in front of the late emperor is a madman. Even a madman is terrifying."
Kou Ji nodded thoughtfully.
Then I saw that Liu Heng had captured the young man who threw the silver medal at Kou Ji.
Liu Heng angrily dragged the young man to Kou Ji and said angrily: "How should I deal with this guy?"
Kou Ji glanced at the people watching around him and whispered: "Take him and leave here first."
Liu Heng nodded, dragged the young man and walked out of the alley.
Cao Yi pushed the Kou bus and followed Liu Heng closely.
This time the people who were around giving gifts stopped shouting.
They were frightened by what Mute Tiger had done just now.
Out of the alley.
Liu Heng dragged the young man to a wine shop, entered the wine shop, and threw the young man at the door of the wine shop.
Cao Ji pushed Kou Ji and followed him to the wine shop.
Kou Ji frowned, stared at the young man, and said in a deep voice: "On weekdays, there are many people who come to the Kou Mansion and pretend to be relatives of the Kou Mansion, but this is the first time I have seen you being so rash.
You narrowly escaped with your life this time, but you won't be so lucky next time."
"get out……"
Kou Ji waved his hand.
Liu Heng shouted: "Fourth brother, he almost hurt you, how could you let him go so easily?"
Cao Ji suggested: "Why don't you leave it to me? I'll throw him into the prison of the Ministry of Punishment for a month. After one month, if he is alive, he will not dare to pretend to be a relative of the Kou government."
Kou Ji shook his head slightly, "Forget it..."
The young man raised his head, stared at Kou Ji, and said in a deep voice: "I am really your brother..."
Kou Ji was a little unhappy, "I am the only son in the family, where can I get an elder brother?"
Liu Heng went up and kicked the young man over, and said angrily: "Has this guy lost his mind and gone crazy? When I spared his life, he refused to do so. How about throwing him into the Jinshui River to feed the bastard?"
The young man got up from the ground, stared at Kou Ji, and said in a deep voice: "My mother married your father, and I also adopted your father's name. Do you think I am your brother?"
When Kou Ji heard this, he frowned and said, "I have never heard that my father had a second marriage."
When the young man heard what Kou Ji said, he looked a little sad. He gritted his teeth and whispered: "My mother is from a humble background. She married your father and can only be a concubine."
Kou Ji frowned and said in a deep voice: "As my father, even if I want to find a concubine, there is no need to find a woman with a son as old as you."
When the young man heard this, he subconsciously clenched his fists and gritted his teeth.
He didn't want to say more, but if he didn't say anything, according to Liu Heng and Cao Yi, his life would probably be over.
The young man gritted his teeth and said in humiliation: "My mother used to be a young lady from a wealthy family. She was fair and beautiful. Unfortunately, my father died young and the family fell into decline. We were left alone and widowed, guarding a piece of thin farmland.
Your father was greedy for my mother's beauty, so he visited me several times and took my mother as his concubine."
When Kou Ji heard what the young man said, he smiled sarcastically, "Your words are full of loopholes, and you have the nerve to lie to me about them? Since your mother is a young lady from a wealthy family, even if your father died young, she can take you back with her.
Go to her natal family. When she returns to her natal family, which can be called a wealthy family, will you mother and son starve? Will you live guarding a piece of thin farmland?
besides!
If my father really took your mother as a concubine, shouldn't the most important thing you do is kill him?
He took your mother by force and behaved like a robber.
If you don’t kill him and take your mother back, are you going to accept the thief as your father?”
Liu Heng snorted from the side: "This guy is a liar. In order to deceive, he even ignored his own mother's reputation. People like him should be beaten to death with sticks and thrown into mass graves."
Wolf."
Kou Ji did not respond to Liu Heng's words, but stared at the young man and said coldly: "What else do you have to say?"
The young man gritted his teeth and refused to say a word.
Kou Ji looked him up and down and told Cao Yi, "When you went out, did you bring your entourage with you?"
Cao Yi nodded and said: "Take them with you. I'll let them wait at a distance, for fear that they will disturb the conversation between the three of us. I will call them over right away."
After saying this, Cao Yan left the wine shop.
Kou Ji stared at the young man and said coldly: "I will have you sent to the prison of the Ministry of Punishment in a moment. The cell leader in the cell is mine. If he knows what you did today, he will definitely
I’ll treat you well.”
The young man's heart trembled, his body trembled, and he gritted his teeth and said: "I said... I will tell you everything."
When Kou Ji heard the young man's words, instead of relaxing, his brows furrowed even more tightly.
