Chapter 131 An old scumbag

Some live narrow-mindedly, while others live open-mindedly.

Why not get over it yourself? As long as the Changsun family put down their posture slightly, it will be over.

The sun shines on this Chang'an area, and the morning in Jingyang is very quiet.

Occasionally, you can hear a few dog barking.

Li Yifu found someone to move into Jingyang according to Li Zheng's request.

Not many people come to move to each other every day.

Li Yifu watched people go to the county government to register and commit crimes.

But there are only a few families every day, just waiting to move like this, how long will it take to be enough?

His Majesty refuses to join the court and the Marquis of Jingyang County refuses to join the court.

As the saying goes, gods and immortals suffer when they fight.

Li Zheng can't get along with His Majesty now.

His Majesty is now unable to get along with Li Zheng again.

Li Yifu felt tired, and in the end he had to do such hard work by himself.

Li Zheng and Li Tai sat at the door of the house with a bowl of noodles and ate breakfast.

Li Ke came with someone.

"Li Zheng, I brought you someone here."

Sucking the noodles, Li Zheng turned his head and saw the person coming. Wasn't this person the one who came to meet him with Li Chongyi?

Xu Jingzong stepped forward and bowed a little and said, "I have met the Marquis of Jingyang County in the Lower."

Suck the noodles into your mouth in one breath.

Li Zheng chewed and swallowed it and asked, "Are you Xu Jingzong?"

Xu Jingzong nodded, "The county marquis knows me?"

Li Zheng put down the bowl in his hand and said, "You are the famous Xu Jingzong, how could I not recognize you?"

Xu Jingzong also looked puzzled. When did he become famous?

"You were born in the Xu family of Gaoyang County. You were quite talented when you were young. During the former Sui Dynasty, you were named Shuzuo of Huaiyang. After your father was killed by the rioters, you defected to the Wagang Army and became Li Mi's secretary, just remembering."

Listening to these words, Xu Jingzong looked at Li Zheng and became alert. Li Zheng was just a twelve-year-old child, how could he know that he had so many things?

"Later, you were valued as the 18th bachelor of the Qin Palace. You had no credit, so you were not valued. You were not well-known and your fate was not very good."

When he heard Li Zheng talk about his reputation, Xu Jingzong hurriedly said, "Marquis of County, I have never known you. In order to get rid of your reputation as soon as you meet, your reputation in the court and the country is quite good. If you don't believe that the Marquis of County will go and inquire!"

For the sake of reputation, Xu Jingzong was filled with righteous indignation.

In ancient times, scholars valued fame. If a person's reputation ruined his career in this life, there would be no hope.

For fame, they will even fight with others.

When talking about his reputation, Xu Jingzong naturally needs to defend it.

Li Zheng smiled awkwardly, "Sorry, I'll just say it casually."

Xu Jingzong has a good reputation now, but his reputation will not be very good in the future.

Li Ke said, "This man found me last night and said that he could help the county marquis to provide advice against the Japanese."

Li Zheng quickly pulled Li Ke aside and said, "Your Highness, how can you tell others about dealing with the Japanese?"

Li Ke looked back at Xu Jingzong who was standing awkwardly and said, "I saw that this person was very sincere when he came to me, so I told him."

"You didn't even know what other people were thinking, so you told him?"

Li Zheng sighed, "What if he sued us? He died before he could succeed!"

Li Ke nodded seriously, "You said this, but it makes sense. Why don't I kill him to silence me?"

Xu Jingzong: “…”

Li Zheng came to Xu Jingzong and said, "Do you think there is a plan to deal with the Japanese?"

Xu Jingzong wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "I have a way to deal with the Japanese when I return to Jingyang County."

"Do you know how I'm going to deal with them?"

"Let them never return to Japan."

Li Zheng nodded as if he was a sacred man, "Then I'll leave it to you."

Leave this to yourself?

Xu Jingzong looked puzzled: "Aren't the county marquis afraid that I will report you?"

Li Zheng smiled and said, "Do you want to try it?"

Xu Jingzong gave a slight tribute, "I'll try as much as possible."

"Go and do it." After Li Zheng said that, he saw a bag of things hanging around Xu Jingzong's waist, "What is this?"

After taking a look at the cloth bag around his waist, Xu Jingzong explained: "It's just some wolfberry, and the few kilograms of wolfberry at home have been eaten up."

Wolfberry? Li Zheng asked again: "Do you have a wife?"

Although I don’t know why Li Zheng asked this, Xu Jingzong shook his head and said, “No.”

Li Zheng nodded clearly.

Confused, Xu Jingzong became more confused and asked, "What does the county marquis mean?"

"My family has no wife, and the consumption of wolfberry is so great. I think it's an old scumbag."

Xu Jingzong bowed and asked, "I dare to ask the county marquis, what a scumbag?"

Li Zheng quickly waved his hand and said, "It's nothing, you go and do the business. If this matter is done, I will reward you well."

"The reward is not necessary. The official just wants to stay by the county marquis and serve the county marquis."

Xu Jingzong is not a good person or a bad person.

There have been many controversies about this person in history, and some even say that he is a person who is very good at taking the blame.

Li Zheng said again: "If this matter cannot be done, or it may be exposed?"

"It definitely has nothing to do with the county marquis. I'm just trying to do it."

He nodded pertinently, and Li Zheng nodded and sighed: "It's indeed a rare talent, so I'll leave it to you."

Xu Jingzong turned around and left.

After he left, Li Tai asked Li Zheng in a low voice, "Do you believe such a stranger so easily?"

As the eighteen bachelor of the Qin Palace back then, the eighteen bachelors now have their own prospects. Only Xu Jingzong has been floating and sank for so many years.

Some people like him need to do something most to prove their abilities.

Li Zheng thought to himself, are people like Xu Jingzong coming to surrender to him?

What about me, a person who is unintentional in the court?

Of course, Xu Jingzong didn't think so in his heart, nor did he want to follow him sincerely.

He just regarded himself as a springboard, a springboard that could jump to Li Shimin, allowing Li Shimin to see his abilities.

There are too many talents around Li Shimin now, and Xu Jingzong cannot compete with those people. Li Shimin may have forgotten him for a long time.

People like him are just using me to show his abilities, and in the end he will still choose the court.

Ignoring Li Tai, Li was fiddling with the pulp in the jar and said, "You go and call the aunts in the village, I have some manual work for them to do."

Li Tai glanced at Li Zheng a few more suspiciously and went to call someone.
