Chapter 50
A black shadow flashed, and a young man wearing a green brocade robe and a scarf wrapped in a head walked into the room. From his age, his confidence in his eyes, and his calmness and calmness, Liu Jing judged that this person had a great status in the Tao family.
Liu Jing stood up and smiled and said, "This guy is..."
"I'm in the middle of the Chaisang Tao Zheng, Master Jing can call me Tao Er." After all, he is a person with a status, and Tao Zheng does not want to pretend to be a chief manager of the business.
"It turns out that he is the second in command, and he has long been famous!" Liu Jing had inquired about the Tao family in advance. The second young master Tao seemed to be in charge of the Tao family's internal affairs regardless of business.
"Please sit down with Mr. Jing!"
Tao Zheng did not have any greetings. He was a very pragmatic person. Perhaps he was nervous. He took out the note and put it on the table and asked, "What do these two words from Mr. Jing mean?"
He stared at Liu Jing with sharp eyes, and he would not let go of every expression on the other person's face.
Liu Jing smiled faintly, "I met a brother and sister in Chibi Town. I had a friend who killed thieves side by side in Wuchang City, so everyone was honest. The elder brother was called Sun Kuang and the younger sister was called Sun Ren. They fled from Wuchang City with the help of the Tao family. The second leader should not be ignorant!"
Tao Zheng's back was already wet, and he secretly complained in his heart, how could these brothers and sisters be so naive and actually say their real names? Isn't this going to kill the Tao family?
He complained in his heart, but couldn't admit it, "I'm sorry, I don't understand what Mr. Jing means. Who are the Sun brothers and sisters? What does this have to do with my Tao family?"
Liu Jing's face darkened, he stood up and put away his long sword and said coldly: "Since the Tao family disdained to talk to me, then please ask your head and the provincial governor to discuss! Let's say goodbye."
After saying that, he strode outward, Tao Zheng was very anxious. Although he had made arrangements, Liu Jing's majestic figure must have a high martial arts skills. What if Teacher Luo can't stop it? Once he turns his back on the scene, it will be too late to save it.
"Please stay! Please stay!"
Tao Zheng hurriedly stopped Liu Jing and bowed repeatedly, "If you have something to discuss, please sit down."
Tao Zheng turned around and shouted, "Go and change the tea!"
This is a signal, which is to tell people outside that everyone must leave the yard. The maids and servants have left, and several big men are guarding the gate of the yard and no one is allowed to enter the yard.
At this time, he and Liu Jing were only within a few feet of radius. Liu Jing put away his knife and his face calmed down a little.
"I think the second head of the army should be a wise man. Why is it not that the army came to surround the Gui Shang Mansion, but that I came alone. Can I explain this again?"
Tao Zheng smiled bitterly, "It's important to be serious, and some actions are normal. I hope Mr. Jing will forgive me."
"I am bluntly, the Tao family did not handle this matter properly. If they are not careful, they will be confiscated and exterminated. They will take such a great risk, but the Tao family has no profit. If something happens to the brother and sister, they will anger Sun Quan. The Tao family will be too uncautious."
Tao Zheng nodded silently, "Young Master Jing is right. This matter is indeed an inappropriate treatment of the Tao family, and his father was also furious."
He was suddenly shocked again. This was Liu Biao's nephew! He was actually heartbroken with him. He looked at Liu Jing in surprise, really not understanding what he meant.
"Didn't I say it when I entered the door? I actually came to do a deal with the Tao family."
Liu Jing looked at him with a smile.
Tao Zheng had the talent of being a businessman in his blood. When he heard Liu Jing say the word "buy and sell", he immediately understood. His heart suddenly relaxed. As long as the other party was willing to collect money, everything would be easy to negotiate.
As the saying goes, "Works who work hard seek power," he can think of many ways to make money when Liu Jing comes, but all the ways are not as good as those who offer it with both hands.
The Tao family has too much money, so it is not impossible to help them spend a lot. More importantly, even if Liu Jing has money, he may not be able to buy precious medicinal materials such as thirty-year-old snake gallbladder and a hundred-year-old Ganoderma lucidum. The Tao family can easily get it. What can’t be obtained by the leading merchants in Jingzhou and even the entire south?
Looking at Tao Zheng's look of anticipation, Liu Jing smiled slightly, "I have encountered some trouble recently. I want to get some medicine, but I have no idea how to start. I know that the Tao family is doing a big business. Can you ask the Tao family to help me?"
Tao Zheng smiled bitterly, "It is the honor of the Tao family to be able to serve Master Jing. In fact, the young master only needs to send someone to deliver the medicine list. We will immediately collect the medicine and give it to the young master. There is no need for Mr. Jing to come here in person."
His implication was to tell Liu Jing that if it was just for a little medicine, there was no need to use that incident to threaten the Tao family.
Liu Jing understood what he meant and smiled in his heart. No matter medicine or money, it was nothing to the Tao family, it was just a drop in the bucket. With the face of Liu Biao's nephew, even if he did not mention the matter between the Sun family and the brothers and sisters, the Tao family would give the money with both hands. The key is that Liu Jing had other profound meanings, and it would be absolutely not a bad thing to be able to make friends with the Tao family.
"It's nothing. I came to my house in person just to show my sincerity. I want the Tao family to know that in fact, the Tao family and I are on the same boat."
Both sides were fighting a puzzle, and Liu Jing was also telling him, 'I know the matter between the Sun brother and sister, but I don't plan to expose the Tao family and I am willing to make friends with the Tao family.'
The two of them looked at each other and laughed tacitly.
Liu Jing took out a list of medicines, which had only six medicines on it. In fact, Yu Zhenren gave him more than thirty prescriptions, and other medicines were easier to get. Only six medicines were slightly precious. Not only were they priced, but they were also rare in general medicine shops. He could only ask the Tao family.
Tao Zheng took the medicine list and looked at it. Without asking any more questions, he immediately nodded and said, "Don't worry! Within ten days, the Dow Trading Company will get all these drugs, and the young master will have as much as he wants."
"Thank you!"
Liu Jing stood up and said goodbye, "I have been disturbed today. If I have time, I will definitely visit Lingzun to Chaisang."
At this time, a manager came in with a plate of gold, a total of ten ingots, about two hundred taels. Tao Zheng personally presented the gold to Liu Jing, "This is my little intention. Please accept it by Master Jing."
Liu Jing knew that if he didn't accept it, Tao Zheng might not be able to sleep tonight. He didn't refuse, so he accepted it happily, bowed and left.
Tao Zheng kept sending Liu Jing out of the gate. Looking at his long-distance back, Tao Zheng's face changed and he immediately turned around and ordered: "Go and prepare the boat quickly, I will go back to Chaisang immediately."

As night fell, Liu Jing came to the Han River alone. His intensive training period had ended and his physical strength had increased greatly. The following is strength training. This is a long training process that takes at least three years.
Liu Jing looked at both sides and saw that this was a gravel river beach west of Fancheng. It was rarely visited and was extremely quiet. It was a good place to practice martial arts.
Liu Jing slowly pulled out his sword and stared at a small tree more than ten steps away. He shouted loudly and ran out quickly, like thunder, and lightning slashed out, and there was a sound of wind and thunder hidden in the sword light.
‘Crack!’ The small tree with a bowl was chopped into two pieces with one knife.
Liu Jing raised his head and breathed a long sigh. He practiced this knife for ten days before he finally achieved it. The seemingly simple knife contained the essence of twenty-four attacks.
Including the change of power, it gives people the illusion that it is like a sudden thunder. It seems not fast, but it is too late to cover the ears. This is the profound meaning of the change of wind and thunder, and it is impossible to cover the ears and thunder.
This is no longer the same as his previous martial arts. This sword finally made him enter the ranks of generals.
But Liu Jing also knew in his heart that this move was a little weaker than the Thirteen-style Hundred Birds and Phoenix Gun, which was mainly due to insufficient strength. As long as he practiced a thousand pounds of strength and used this move, it would be enough to compete with Zhao Yun.
The key is strength. He slowly walked to the riverside. The next step was to start training strength. Zhao Yun's training method was to log wood. After three years of logging, he gained divine power. Liu Jing's training method was different, which was swimming. This was specially formulated by Liu Jing because of the water in the south.
Whether in his past or present life, Liu Jing can swim, and he swims well. He takes out a pill of Yijin Pill and chews it in his mouth, then opens a small wine bottle, and drinks the strong wine inside.
In just a moment, a raging fire ignited in his body, which was so burning that it was unbearable. He hid his clothes and pants on the shore, then jumped into the rolling Han River.

Two days later, Liu Jing finally got his first position in Jingzhou: Hanshuiyoushuo, a position between the army and government affairs. It was originally a Jingzhou naval army, but later assigned to the local area. It is now under Xiangyang County, which is directly under the prefect. Its duties are to patrol the Hanshui River, arrest water thieves, inspect merchants to pay taxes, and maintain order on the river.
"There are three tour houses on the Han River. You are responsible for the second tour house. You are in charge of the section from Fancheng to Yicheng County. There are 120 subordinates and more than 30 large and small ships...."
Wang Ji, the governor of Xiangyang County, personally led Liu Jing to office. Wang Ji was about 30 years old, with a medium figure, beautiful eyebrows and gentle temperament. He was the brother of the famous Wang Can clan and Liu Biao's son-in-law.
Liu Biao's eldest daughter Liu Wan married Wang Ji five years ago. The couple respected each other and were very loving. They had one son and one daughter. The eldest son was named Wang Ye and was only four years old this year.
Wang Ji was also from Shanyang County, Gaoping County. Ten years ago, he took his brother Wang Can to take refuge in Jingzhou and was valued by Liu Biao.
Perhaps because of his fellow countrymen, Wang Ji was particularly enthusiastic about Liu Jing.
Liu Jing deliberately learned the dialect of his hometown from Uncle Meng for more than a month. Although his Taishan County accent was still quite heavy, he had a little Gaoping accent in his words. Wang Ji heard this local accent and felt very friendly.
The two rode horses to the official office of the Youjiao Office. Wang Ji pointed to the dock not far away and smiled and said, "This is the East Wharf of Fancheng, which is much smaller than the West Wharf. However, only official boats are allowed to be parked. Did you see that the ships in the distance are the official boats of your Youjiao Office."
Liu Jing looked at the water. There were more than ten dilapidated small boats moored on the water. He couldn't help but frowned slightly, "Didn't you say there are more than thirty ships?"
Wang Ji smiled, "The other ships have been patrolling the water surface. I have specially instructed that several Youjiao officials should be here!"
The two of them walked a few more steps, and several followers were a little far away from them. The smiles on Wang Ji's face slowly disappeared. He glanced at Liu Jing meaningfully, "This position is not as simple as you think. I only have one word to tell you, speak less and take more attention."
