When the scholar heard Liu Haojia's words, his face turned pale at first and his body swayed! But then he forced himself to calm down and said, "Since the Marquis has given permission, the student will give a brief explanation."
Then he briefly explained what happened during the argument in the restaurant. The scholar became happier and more excited as he talked, feeling as if he possessed the truth! But when he saw Liu Haojia's expression, he gradually became less confident!
Because Liu Haojia's expression changed from concentration at the beginning, to surprise, to impatience, to "are you a fool", which made his mentality a little unbalanced! However, he insisted in the end: "I hope we can still think about the common people. Until the livelihood problems of hundreds of thousands of people are not solved, we will temporarily stop using the method of drying salt!"
After saying that, he raised his head and looked at Liu Hao's house with burning eyes. For a moment, he felt that he had become a hero praying for the people, and he was almost moved by himself! But he found Liu Haojia looking at him with an extremely strange look, which made him think that he might have something on his face.
After he finished speaking, Liu Haojia said slowly: "That's all?"
The scholar nodded and said, "Yes, that's it!"
Liu Haojia looked at the scholars again and said, "He has finished speaking. Do you have anything to add?"
Everyone said they had nothing to add, but one of them was stupid and said, "Brother Si Yu has already said it very clearly and completely. We have nothing to add!"
The cousin Si Yu was called out like this, and all the work he had done without giving his name just now was in vain! Seeing the scholar in front of him blushing and turning white, even Liu Haojia couldn't help laughing!
But Liu Haojia didn't laugh at him. Instead, he waited for the scholars to calm down and said, "To be honest, it is easy for me to solve your problem! But I don't want to tell you the answer now!"
Hearing Liu Haojia's previous words, the scholars were quite happy. They felt that they had made a contribution and bought time for the people of the world to find a turning point! But the second half of what he said made them angry! You are a distinguished member of the Ming Dynasty, but you don't care about the people. You have a solution but you don't use it. This is simply too much!
However, the scholar opposite Liu Haojia still suppressed his anger and said: "If you are angry because of what happened just now, we can apologize to you!"
Liu Haojia said: "That's not the case. I just said that this matter is over! I am angry because some of you just said that I am a vulgar martial artist! And the people around me actually seem to agree! Just because of this, I am I’m very unhappy!”
The scholar looked like he was about to laugh when he heard this, but he still said: "Master Marquis, that was just a slip of the tongue. We had no such intention!"
Liu Haojia snorted and said: "You said you didn't have such thoughts, but I don't believe it! Usually you literati always say that my warriors are vulgar and unreasonable, well, today I want to see who is vulgar. unreasonable!"
Hearing this, the scholar cursed Liu Haojia in his heart, "You warriors who ride horses and swing swords all day long don't even know the saint's subtle words and righteousness, and you still say that you are not vulgar?" But he did not dare to say this in front of Liu Haojia. He could only whisper: "If Mr. Hou is angry because of this, the student can apologize on behalf of his classmates!"
Liu Haojia waved his hand and said, "You don't need to apologize! I just want to compete with you and see who is the vulgar and unreasonable person!"
The scholar had no choice but to say: "What about the Marquis?"
Liu Haojia said loudly: "You students always say how great you are, then you choose the three most powerful people to compete with me. If you win, I will recognize this vulgar name and tell you the answer." ! If you lose, hum!"
The scholar said: "I just don't know what the Marquis wants to compete with? If it's to compete with the students in battle to kill the enemy, you can't do it!"
Liu Haojia said: "Of course it's something you should learn more than you should!"
There was a trap in Liu Haojia's words, but these scholars didn't hear it! Because when these scholars heard that Liu Haojia was going to compete with them on what they should learn, they subconsciously thought it was about reading and writing, so they immediately became excited! You are a martial arts student
Competing with scholars in reading and writing is not asking for death!
In addition, they really wanted to see Liu Haojia embarrassed, so they immediately started to recommend him. Not long after, two people walked out of the crowd and stood together with the scholar in front of Liu Haojia. It seemed that the three of them were the ones the scholars introduced!
A person who came out later raised his hands in high spirits and said: "Master Hou, the three of us were introduced by everyone. The student's last name is..."
Just as he said this, Liu Haojia raised his hand to stop him and said, "Hey, don't say your name, lest something happens in the future and I will retaliate against you in private!" "
But the man smiled and said: "I think with the magnanimity of the Marquis, I would definitely not do such a dirty thing! And if the Marquis really wanted to take revenge, I would have just eaten a meal and been beaten! So the student Don’t be afraid to give your name!"
Liu Haojia saw his impassioned look and immediately understood that this person was not a righteous person at all, but simply wanted to make a name for himself among the scholars! Think about it, defeating a prince in a competition is such a honorable thing!
But Liu Haojia is not disgusted with his thoughts! There are people who are motivated. Life itself is a fighting arena. Those who have the ability to rise to the top should naturally think of more ways! So he simply nodded and said, "That's true!" It's too easy to take revenge on you now! So tell me your names one by one! As for me, you should all know who my surname is! ".
The man nodded to show that he knew, and then said: "Master Hou, the student's surname is Wu. The two characters are "Feng" and "Cunrui"! His ancestral home is Shandong, and he was a Jinshi!"
The scholar who first spoke to Liu Haojia raised his hand and said, "The student's surname is Jin, with a single character of Pu, and a pseudonym of Siyu. His ancestral home is Shanxi, and he is also a Jinshi!"
Another scholar also raised his hand and said: "The student's surname is Jiang, his single name is Lin, and his surname is Shuangmu! His ancestral home is Shaanxi, and he is also a Jinshi."
Liu Haojia nodded and said, "Okay, okay! It turns out that the three of you are all Jinshi, and you are all from the north!"
Then Liu Haojia raised his head and said loudly to all the scholars: "Who else among you is a Jinshi? Raise your hand and let me see!"
As a result, among the many scholars, not one of them raised their hands. Seeing this, Liu Haojia shook his head and said, "It seems that among these dozens of people, only three of you are Jinshi! So who are the people with good backgrounds?"
