Gan Ning’s risk now does not come from Zhang Yun, but Liu Biao. Although Gan Ning has no position for the time being, Liu Biao accepted his surrender after all, and Zhang Yun did not dare to arrest people randomly without evidence.

But Zhang Yun would report to Liu Biao and exaggerate the facts. In addition, he was Liu Biao's nephew, which caused Liu Biao's anger. In addition, Liu Biao did not care about Gan Ning, so Gan Ning's situation would be dangerous.

Fortunately, today is the day, and there are many things to do. Even if Liu Biao wants to ask about this matter, he will have to wait until tomorrow.

He Liu Jing can use the remaining precious time today to complete all the missing things and get Gan Ning out of his guilt.

Now it depends on whether Gan Ning can cooperate with him.

"General Gan, if I propose to give me all the slaves of the Five Army, can you agree?"

It was a bit abrupt, but this was the key to the problem. If you want Gan Ning to escape from the crime, only Liu Jing would follow up on this matter. Otherwise, even if Gan Ning’s slave trafficking is legal, it would also arouse Liu Biao’s suspicion. Not everyone can do such slave trafficking.

Gan Ning was silent. Of course, he understood what Liu Jing meant to help him escape from his crime, but he had already collected a deposit of 1,000 taels of gold from the next family. If the military slave was transferred to Liu Jing, the gold would have to be returned to others, and he would suffer a great loss.

But Gan Ning was a smart and sensible person after all. He just remained silent for a moment and agreed with gaze, "Okay, I will transfer all of these five army slaves to you. I will give you their information, and you don't have to give me any compensation, even if I give it to you."

Liu Jing smiled and said, "Let's talk about compensation, let's talk about the crisis first."

............

Liu Jing met Kuai Yue at Fancheng Wharf. He asked Liu Hu to send a letter to Kuai Yue. When Kuai Yue heard that it was something that mattered to Zhang Yun, he rushed over on a horse.

"Nephew, what happened?" Kuai Yue saw Liu Jing and asked loudly from afar.

Liu Jing urged him to come forward and bowed and smiled, "Uncle Shi, it's hard to talk here, let's change the place."

Kuai Yue nodded and came to a secluded place with Liu Jing. Kuai Yue ordered his subordinates to take the wind, and then he was anxious to ask Liu Jing, "What happened?"

Liu Jing said what happened in the original form, but did not hide it from Kuai Yue. Kuai Yue gradually understood it and frowned and said, "Are you really planning to bear this risk for Gan Ning? You know that the provincial governor may be disgusted with you because of this matter. Although Gan Ning is a talent, you will lose more. Think about it again."

Liu Jing shook his head, "I know there will be risks, but there are some things that I do for my own beliefs, do for righteousness, and will not consider too much interests."

Kuai Yue sighed softly, no wonder Liu Jing was willing to sacrifice his life to save Zhao Yun. His mind was indeed different from ordinary people and would not be hindered by immediate interests. Gan Ning is a talent, and it would be a pity to lose it. It would be better to help him with his own plan for the long term.

Thinking of this, Kuai Yue nodded and smiled, "Now I understand, okay I can help you."

Liu Jing was overjoyed and hurriedly gave a deep bow, "Thank you, Uncle Shi."

Kuai Yue smiled, "Actually, when I was young, I was just like you, and I was loyal. I advised He Jin not to believe in eunuchs. If He Jin didn't listen, I would pursue him relentlessly, but he annoyed him. If I was not stubborn at the time, I could have been awarded a high-ranking official. Oh, forget it, don't mention the past, I will go to Wang Junzhu and ask him to help him. You can go to him later."

"Thank you for your help"

Kuai Yue smiled, patted his shoulder, and looked at him and said, "You are a person who is interested. I help you because of this. I hope you don't disappoint me."

He raised his head and smiled, urged the horse to leave, and after walking a few steps, Kuai Yue turned around and said, "I would like to advise you one more thing, don't underestimate the governor of the state, his heart is like a mirror."

Kuai Yue left long, and Liu Jing understood what Kuai Yue meant. He pondered for a long time, but this matter could not be hidden from Liu Biao.

"Brother Jing"

Liu Hu also rode on a horse and asked strangely: "It seems that it's over if you just say a few words?"

Liu Jing smiled and said, "I will ask Mr. Kuai to do something. I will go to the county munition later."

"I'll go with you."

Liu Jing shook his head, "You go to the Youjiao Station with me first. I will take you to know some brothers. Zhang Ping should be on duty tonight, but he is locked up by me, so you will be the one who will serve him."

"But..." Liu Hu was a little panicked, "I don't know anything, how do you let me be on duty?"

Liu Jing smiled slightly, "Of course there will be someone to follow you. You are the nephew of the provincial governor, and there are many people who want to curry favor with you."

Liu Hu scratched his head, looking forward and worried in his heart, and followed Liu Jing to Youjiao.

.........

In the afternoon, Liu Biao, who had finished the day of the festival, took Liu Qi out of the prefecture yard and got up before dawn, and Liu Biao seemed a little tired.

As soon as he walked to the carriage, Zhang Yun, who had been waiting beside him, quickly came up and said with a smile: "Thank you for your hard work, uncle."

Liu Biao also likes this nephew very much. He is smart and capable, and can lead troops to fight. He is his right-hand man. There are many officials today, and officials from all over Jingzhou gather in Xiangyang. Liu Biao did not notice that Zhang Yun did not attend the He Dian today.

"Is there anything wrong with the nephew?" Liu Biao asked with a smile.

"Uncle, my nephew has something important to report."

Liu Biao nodded, "Let's talk about it when you get on the carriage."

He got a little tired and got on the carriage. When Zhang Yun and Liu Qi saw the greeting, they also got on the carriage. The carriage slowly started and drove towards the gate of the state yamen.

In the carriage, Zhang Yun carefully reported to Liu Biao about Gan Ning's private military slaves. "Uncle, this matter is absolutely true. My nephew received the exact information. Gan Ning bought the five army slaves from Runan and now hid somewhere along the Bishui coast. My nephew suspected that Gan Ning had ulterior motives to buy these five army slaves."

"What's his intention?" Liu Biao asked with his eyes closed.

"He is recruiting troops and increasing his strength."

Liu Biao's eyes opened slightly, a murderous intent flashed across, and then closed it again.

"Is there any basis for you to say this?"

"Last night, my nephew's clan brother, that is, when the Youjiao thief Cao inspected the Han River, he found Gan Ning's military slave trafficking. He went up to investigate and found the military slave. Gan Ning was afraid that the matter would be trapped, so he arrested him and locked him up in the inn. This matter is absolutely true. My nephew is willing to use his head to guarantee it."

Zhang Yun's words finally angered Liu Biao. Liu Biao also knew about Runan's slave sales, but he didn't expect Gan Ning to participate. He said coldly: "What a Jinfan thief. I kindly took him in, but he dared to sell military slaves privately. Do I think my Jingzhou law is a joke?"

After a pause, Liu Biao asked lightly again: "I heard that you sent out a group last night. Is it because of this?"

Zhang Yun was startled, "I sent out some of my personal soldiers just because I was in a hurry to save my clan brothers. I just put pressure on them to release them. I did not take any action and quickly withdrew the troops. Without my uncle's consent, I certainly didn't dare to do anything."

Liu Biao didn't say anything for a long time. He closed his eyes and didn't know what to think. After a while, Liu Biao slowly said: "Don't send troops at will. If you need to send troops, you can report to me. As long as the reason is legitimate, I will agree."

"It's my nephew's mind"

Zhang Yun was secretly happy that as long as he received the authorization of Liu Biao, he immediately sent troops to arrest Gan Ning. At that time, he became famous in the army.

At this moment, Liu Qi, who had been silent, suddenly asked: "The governor of Youjiao is not Jingdi. His subordinates were arrested, would he not care?"

Liu Biao was stunned, and then he remembered the incident of Liu Jing being appointed as the governor of Youjiao. He couldn't help but take a strange look at Zhang Yun.

Zhang Yun secretly hated Liu Qi in his heart, but he had a solution, so he hurriedly said: "Of course, Brother Jing has the responsibility to check this matter, but he has a close relationship with Gan Ning and will be in a dilemma. I suggest that it is best not to let him inquire."

Although Liu Biao was bewitched by Zhang Yun for a moment, he was a person who did big things and the lord of Jingzhou. He also had his own shrewdness. He heard that Zhang Yun had obvious prejudices towards Liu Jing in his words.

Liu Jing is the governor of Youjiao. He is responsible for arresting thieves and inspecting tax evasion slaves. Liu Jing is responsible for this matter, but what Zhang Yun said makes sense. Liu Jing is likely to cover up Gan Ning.

After pondering for a long time, Liu Biao said slowly: "Don't make a big deal about this."

Zhang Yun was overjoyed, and Liu Biao agreed. He immediately said: "Don't worry, uncle, nephew has his own sense of responsibility."

At this time, Liu Qi reminded again: "Father, today is the day."

A sentence reminded Liu Biao, and Liu Biao added: "Well, today is the day, you can't move troops, let's talk about it tomorrow."

Liu Biao closed his eyes and didn't want to listen to anything anymore. Zhang Yun dared not refuse to obey, but he had to wait until tomorrow. He was very angry and stared at Liu Qi's back.

But since Liu Biao agreed, tomorrow will be tomorrow. He insisted on making Gan Ning pay the price of bleeding. Zhang Yun gritted his teeth.

Zhang Yun left, Liu Biao opened his eyes again, and looked at Zhang Yun's back as he walked away, and he couldn't help but sneer.

...........

The Xiangyang County and County Office is located in the south of Xiangyang City. It covers a much smaller area and scale than the state office. Today is the day, and most officials are resting at home, so the county office seems very quiet.

But it was a different scene in the county magistrate's official room. The famous Shuzuo was busy checking his name and registering slaves. A list of five slaves was placed in front of them.

They need to register and file these slaves one by one, and then issue slave contracts. The workload is quite large, and they must be busy until late at night.

However, although the famous Shuzuo worked hard, he was willing to do so. Everyone had a heavy piece of gold in their pockets, which made them extremely motivated. They had both instructions from their bosses and extra income. Although they were a little harder, they felt particularly comfortable in their hearts and a sense of dignity that was worth the effort.

In the room next door, the county magistrate Wang Ji was chatting with Liu Jing about the division of factions in Jingzhou. Wang Ji was happy to express his own opinions on this topic.

"Where there is an officialdom, there is a dispute over interests, and there is a dispute over interests, there is a faction. This is very normal. It is like a piece of cake, which is only so big in total, but everyone wants to divide it, how much can each person get?

Besides, the cake in Jingzhou has been divided long ago, so there is no place to allow foreign food sharing, so Gong Jing should not feel unfair. Everyone understands the truth, but it involves your own interests, that is, interests are the most important."

Wang Ji is Liu Biao's son-in-law. He is also an exotic person based on the region, but Wang Ji does not admit that he is a pure exotic person.

"The so-called foreign faction refers to people whose hometown is not Jingzhou. Then the lord should be an foreign faction, but no one would think so. Therefore, we have always believed that in addition to the foreign faction and local faction, there should be a follower of the Dragon faction, that is, a relative with the lord or a disciple. For example, I, Zhang Yun, Yi Ji, and even Jing Gong, we are not from Jingzhou, but we are not simply northern gentry. Jingzhou gentry fully accepts this."

Liu Jing nodded. He understood Wang Ji's theory of interests, but he might not agree.

"I think the provincial governor should set up a special institution, such as Jixian Academy, Hanlin Academy, etc., to accommodate some outstanding northern gentry, such as Zhuge Liang, Xu Shu, Cui Zhouping, Shi Guangyuan, Sima Hui, etc. These talents are like precious wealth, and it is a pity to abandon them."

Wang Ji smiled and exhorted in the tone of an experienced person: "Although Duke Jing's idea is good, it's not easy to talk about it. The Jingzhou gentry absolutely does not allow such yamen to exist. At the beginning, the lord proposed to subsidize these northern gentry who came to Jingzhou to take refuge in the month, but was strongly opposed by the Jingzhou gentry. In the end, the lord promised to give priority to the Jingzhou gentry in the use of official positions, so that it was able to pass.

Gong Jing, the officialdom is complicated, and the lord actually understands many things, but he is also helpless. Gong Jing is young and energetic. In addition, he has just arrived in Jingzhou and does not understand the situation. This feeling is understandable. However, Gong Jing will gradually understand that the interests of the officialdom are fundamental. If you want to keep your own interests, you must cooperate with the local faction. I am a person who has experienced it, and you can see more thoroughly than you."

At this time, a Shuzo walked in with a thick stack of slave contracts, bowed and bowed, saying, "Mr. Prince, this is the first batch of slave contracts that have been completed, please check it out."
