Chapter 31 Cai Sheng

"The villain's surname is Tao, his given name is Guan, and his word is Ziyi..."

When Dwarf Tao Guan felt an unprecedented respect from Liu Jing, and couldn't help but shed tears on the spot, he saw a white figure rushing over at a very fast speed.

This is a suave young man with a white robe and a bamboo crown and a long sword on his waist. He can only hear him urgently say: "Dwarf slave, why are you crying, but this son bullies you? Nai Gong..."

"Cai Jun, shut up!" Tao Guan, the dwarf slave, turned pale with fright. He only hated that he was short and couldn't stop Cai Sheng's mouth in time. "Do you know who he is?"

Liu Jing also recognized this person as Cai Sheng, the backer of the dwarf Taoguan market. After he went back, he asked his clan brother Liu Zong and learned that this person was the most famous ranger in Linxiang in recent years.

It is said that this person's swordsmanship is very terrifying. He has fought swords hundreds of times in the past few years, and has always been invincible. Therefore, he has a high prestige in the eyes of Linxiang Rangers and Evil Boys.

Liu Zong and Ou Xiong tried their best to get him into the family, but Cai Sheng was very angry and didn't think much of Liu Zong and Ou Xiong. He believed that the two of them were able to achieve today's achievements by relying on the power of the family. In my heart, I thought they were inferior to me.With this kind of thought in mind, naturally, he wouldn't go to Liu and District, and let them drive him.

"I don't care who he is! Dwarf, if he insults you, I will not give up with him." Cai Sheng glared at Liu Jing, the latter's official uniform crown sword did not make him retreat half a point, instead he held the sword in his hand. The handle, with a flying expression, looks like he doesn't take Liu Jing seriously.

I have to say that Liu Jing is really worried. He asks himself that he has never slackened in practicing swordsmanship, but due to his talent, his swordsmanship is definitely far inferior to Cai Sheng, and he has little experience in fighting swords. Poor, once the other party overreacted and drew swords to conflict, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Fortunately, the blood splattered five steps did not happen, and Tao Guan, the dwarf slave, rescued him in time: "Cai Jun, don't talk nonsense! Didn't you mention 'Virtue Liu Jun' to me two days ago, now Liu Jun You are right in front of you, how can you speak madly? Why don't you apologize to Liu Jun?"

"Ah? He is 'Virtuous Liu Jun'?" Cai Sheng's eyes kept wandering around the two of them, and he asked, "Then why did you cry just now?"

"Talking about old things, I don't feel tears."

Cai Sheng was speechless. He knew a lot about Tao Guan's past. He stood facing Liu Jing, bent at a [-]-degree angle, bowed his head, and sincerely apologized: "The surname is Cai Mingsheng, the word is Hongchao, he was born in the market, and his speech is rude. , If there is any collision with Liu Jun, please forgive Liu Jun."

"It's not strange for those who don't know." Liu Jing boasted: "What's more, he is a friend without avoiding officials, and he speaks up with justice. He is really a righteous man."

Cai Sheng has always been the first in the word "righteousness". Liu Jing praised him for other things, but he may not be happy. He praised him as a righteous man, but he just scratched his itch. He was happy and turned his head to Tao Guan and said, "Dwarf slave, you Did you hear me, 'Virtuous Liu Jun' praised me as a 'righteous man'."

"I heard." Dwarf Tao Guan replied with a smile.

When Cai Sheng was complacent, his arm was suddenly grabbed by an old man in Tsing Yi who got out of nowhere, and he only heard him shout, "Good you Cai Hongchao, you can be counted as caught."

This scene is quite strange. Cai Sheng, as the most famous ranger in Linxiang in recent years, dares to embarrass him, but this person dares to stroke his beard.

Cai Sheng was stunned for a moment, but when he saw who was coming, he suddenly felt that something was wrong.

Since ancient times, "paying off debts is only right and proper".

Facing the debt collectors, even though Cai Sheng, who had beaten Linxiang's invincible hand, couldn't stand his back, he took out the small pouch that was floating in his arms, shook it in front of the other party, and sighed: "Deng Gong, look at you too. Arrived, I've been empty lately, and I really have no money. You can give me a few more days. Don't worry, I, Cai Hongchao, are definitely not someone who doesn't pay back his debts."

"You always say that every time you come to my tavern for alcoholic beverages on credit," the owner of the tavern didn't want to eat him and shouted, "You already owe a thousand money! You must pay it back today!"

"What?" Cai Sheng was shocked when he heard the words: "It's only been so long, how can you owe so much?"

The owner of the tavern snorted coldly: "Recently, the price of rice has risen sharply, and the wine has naturally also risen. Besides, you not only drink it yourself, but you also frequently entertain others, so how can you spend less. Now it's not much, just a thousand dollars."

Cai Sheng looked suspicious and said, "Deng Gong, you didn't take advantage of my unpreparedness, did you write a few more notes?"

"The loan deeds you left are all there. If you don't believe me, you can go and see for yourself."

Seeing that the owner of the tavern was so righteous, Cai Sheng stopped talking and turned to look at Tao Guan, the young slave.

The owner of the wine shop counted the number of people, and the total was only a hundred dollars. He shook his head and said, "This amount of money is not enough."

The crowd around him gradually became crowded, and Cai Sheng felt a great loss of face. He gritted his teeth and took off the long sword from his waist, before sending it into the arms of the owner of the wine shop.

The owner of the restaurant did not dare to take the sword, he sighed heavily, and said: "Cai Hongchao, I respect you as a hero in the market, so I will give you the wine, but I have to rely on the restaurant to support the family, so I can use it this time. The sword pays off the debt, so what can I use next time? If I continue to owe it like this, it won’t be long before my restaurant will close.”

Liu Jing suddenly said from the side: "It's not unreasonable to worry about your steps, and it's true that Cai Hongchao is shy, so let's do this, the money he owes will be paid for him."

He originally planned to fulfill the agreement today, and ordered a dove car for his nephew Hutou, and prepared some small gifts for his younger brother Liu He and younger sister Liu Rao. .

"Is it true?" The owner of the restaurant didn't expect things to take a turn.

Cai Sheng's face changed greatly, and he said with shame: "Liu Jun, you and I are just friends, how can you pay me to pay my debts."

"No." Liu Jing shook his head and said, "Haven't you heard of 'beautiful as new, as old as ever'? Although you and I have only known each other for a short time, I think that you are a gentleman who is worthy of my heart, so I borrowed money. Pay your debts, why not?"

Liu Jing has always taken money very lightly, like a ranger like Cai Sheng, who is known for his swordsmanship. He can make the other party owe a favor by spending a mere thousand dollars. This is a rare and lucky thing. If it is replaced by a clan brother Liu Zong is here, let alone one thousand dollars, even ten thousand dollars will not hesitate.

"I didn't expect Liu Jun to be so fancy." Cai Sheng said: "I'm afraid it will be difficult to pay off for a while."

Liu Jing suddenly remembered the scene from the past, and laughed loudly: "If you are rich in the future, you can repay me tenfold and a hundredfold."

"..." Cai Sheng and Tao Guan couldn't help looking at each other, feeling very strange in their hearts, wasn't this a big statement made by the former, how could Liu Jing know?

In the end, Cai Sheng accepted Liu Jing's good intentions, so that everything finally came to a happy outcome. The owner of the restaurant walked away happily with the money in his hands. There was no excitement to watch, and the crowd gradually dispersed.

Cai Sheng didn't know what to say at this time, and stood there awkwardly.

"Why do you have to be like this," Liu Jing said in a loud voice, "A man is living in a troubled world. He is a prince in life and a temple food in death, so he will live up to it! Money is something outside the body, so why should you care too much? The daughter will come back after it's gone.' I think it's true, what do you think about your steps?"

"'A man is living in troubled times, he is a prince in life, and he is a temple food in death.' After a while, he felt agitated and said loudly:

"Liu Jun's actions of 'gong farming and supporting guests' and 'giving a good book to save neighbors' spread widely, and everyone called him 'virtuous Liu Jun', and he was deeply admired by everyone below.

I originally thought that Liu Jun was a gentleman with a gentle personality and a humble and kind-hearted character. After meeting, I found out that Liu Jun is actually a man with lofty hearts and ambitions! "

Tao Guan was envious, Liu Jing needless to say, now he is famous, becoming a celebrity in Changsha is just a matter of course, even Cai Sheng, there is no chance that he will take off in the future.

And as a frail dwarf, his future has long been doomed. He sells cakes for a lifetime in the market, and uses the money he earns to support his parents, his brothers, and his nephews, and then he slowly grows old in loneliness and hardship. until death...

This seems to be his destiny...
