Xie Zezhi dragged Jiang Zhixia to the second floor of the teahouse. It was located in the middle of the street and could see the situation on both sides of Mo Mianxu and Wensheng Shenjun.

"Sit down and have a cup of tea first." Xie Zezhi calmly poured a cup of tea for Jiang Zhixia and placed it in front of her.

"Sorry, I'm very bored right now and don't have the patience to drink tea with you." She turned around and left.

"Two parts lactose really snows."

She sat back instantly, "Actually, it's not particularly boring."

Seeing her sitting there obediently with an expectant look on her face, Xie Zezhi raised the corners of his mouth slightly and said, "You can rest assured. Before I left just now, I cast a spell to seal the power of Lord Wensheng. You don't have to worry."

He paused and then said: "That new disciple of yours..."

"How's your investigation going?" Jiang Zhixia knew that he couldn't sit still, and would definitely investigate to the end whenever there was suspicion.

"According to Tu Tu, he is a Sanxian who has been practicing there for five hundred years. That day he was caught by a spider spirit and had his immortal bones extracted. He was saved by a passing disciple of the Xuxuan Sect. After that, he came to the Lingqing Sect." Xie Zezhi looked serious. road:

"But I always feel that his behavior is unreasonable. A person without immortal bones should go to a place with spiritual energy. What are you doing here? You might as well put him next to me."

"You?" Jiang Zhixia shook her head, "Let's forget it. If he really has an agenda, wouldn't this be inviting a wolf into the house? There are more important secrets around you than mine. Why don't you just stay here with me? Anyway, the Lingqing Sect has nothing. What else could he gain?"

She looked at Lu Chennian, who was staying with Liu Mosi and the others in the street, with no warmth in her eyes, "He better not have other thoughts, or I will kill him."

Xie Zezhi was silent for a while, and then asked the question, "Do you still dream about him?"

After asking, he unconsciously clasped his hands, waiting for her answer.

She rolled her eyes, knowing that Xie Zezhi was talking about Ji Chen, "Very few. It's annoying to dream about that kind of thing all the time."

The waiter brought the lactose to the table. Jiang Zhixia picked up the spoon and took a sip. The sweetness spread in her mouth, which made her feel very good. "The only difference between us is that amount. If he is still alive, I will give him a sword and we will be even."

"I thought you were going to cut him into pieces."

"I thought about it before, but then I stopped thinking about it."

"why?"

"Because there's nothing to hate."

He loosened his hands and said with relief, "It's fine."

No hate means no love.

Jiang Zhixia was eating when the shouts of Liu Mosi and the others came from downstairs.

"It's free, come and take a look~"

"There are so many benefits. If you miss it, you won't have the chance."

Curious, she stretched out her head to take a look, and saw that the people downstairs were running towards Mo Muxu. Soon a crowd gathered around his stall.

A porter with ordinary clothes and dark skin came over to join in the fun while taking a break. He asked Mo Yansu: "What are you giving me for free?"

Mo Yanxu took out a fan to fan him, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, little brother, let me ask you, how much money can you make when you are busy all day long?"

When it came to money, he was a little embarrassed, "I worked hard all day and got fifty cents. But I am single and I can spend enough."

"That's not right." Mo Yanxu continued: "I heard that the accountant who sells cloth in the back street can earn two hundred cash a day."

"You said he could read and keep accounts. Poor people like us can't even read, so who can give us two hundred coins?"

"Well, now I'll let you earn two hundred coins for nothing, are you willing?"

Most of the people in the crowd were ordinary people, and few people could earn so much in a day. When they heard this, they all became interested and asked him for money.

"Don't worry, everyone. I'll be waiting for you at the first house on the right side of Sandao Hutong today at You time. If you go, I'll give it to you."

"real or fake?"

"If it's true or not, can you tell if you go and see it this afternoon? Anyway, I won't charge you any money. If it's false, you won't lose anything if you go back?" Mo Yanxu said to them: "Those who want to go there Look for the names that my junior sister has written for you, and then you can press your fingerprints."

"That's right, let's go?"

"Take it and have a look."

"I'll go too, write it for me"

Everyone lined up at Mo Jiexu's small table, and students after school came over to help maintain order.

When Bantian Wensheng Shenjun was hiding in the corner and saw this scene, he snorted coldly: "Isn't it just giving money? I have it too."

He stepped away to find Zhang Yaozu.

It was mid-summer at this time, and the sun had not set yet. In the small courtyard rented by Mo Jianxu, more than twenty people crowded in. These people were sitting on long benches, chatting.

There were several students standing in the corner of the courtyard. They came to study with Mo Jianxu on their own initiative, but they didn't know the content of today's study yet.

"Senior brother, there are more than fifty names on the paper." Liu Mosi was discouraged as she counted less than half of the people in the yard. "I heard from Xiao Liu that Lord Wen Sheng found Zhang Yaozu and promised to give them three hundred yuan a day. Wen, a lot of people went there.

"It's okay. It's only the first day, don't be in a hurry."

It's almost time. Mo Yanxu stood in front and said to everyone: "Everyone is here to receive the two hundred coins."

"Yeah, otherwise we wouldn't come. Send the money quickly, I'm waiting to buy something."

"After you have collected it here, I have to go to the next one."

"Okay, okay, everyone." Mo Yanxu appeased everyone, "You all know that the accountant earns two hundred yuan a day because he can read and do accounts. If you can also read, then you can also earn two hundred yuan. Is it a hundred cents? What I gave you for free was not ready-made money, but words and culture."

When the people heard that no money would be paid, they immediately lost interest.

"I won't come if I don't have money. I still have to learn to read, but I don't have that much time."

"That's it, I'm going to learn some words as a coolie. If I don't learn them, I won't learn them."

"I saw a man at the west entrance of the street today who said he would give me money if I went to his place. Let's go to his house."

Everyone wanted to leave, but unexpectedly the courtyard door was closed. Lu Chennian stood at the door with a sword in his hand, and his serious look scared them away.

The students came forward to persuade them to stay. They didn't dare to cause trouble to Lu Chennian, but they saw that the students were easy to bully, so they yelled and cursed, saying that these ignorant scholars were amusing themselves as poor people, and even the books of sages had been read into the dog's belly.

The students were so angry that they started quarreling with them.

Mo Xiuxu is as stable as a mountain.

After waiting for a while, he shouted loudly: "Everyone, everyone, since no one wants to learn to read, it's because I didn't think well. Please return the two hundred Wen to me, and you can leave."

"What nonsense are you talking about? When do we owe you two hundred cents?"

Mo Yanxu took out a piece of paper covered with handprints from his sleeve, handed it to Liu Mosi, and asked her to read the content aloud.

It was written on the piece of paper that everyone was willing to sell themselves to Mo Jianxu as a servant for 200 coins for twenty years without any wages. After the expiration of twenty years, two hundred coins and interest will be returned, with an interest of three cents per year. If he breaks the contract, he will have to pay Mo Shensu two hundred words.

After finishing reading, the crowd was in an uproar, and the noise was even louder than before.

"I worked for you for free for twenty years, and I still owe you money in the end."

"We didn't get any money at all. You coaxed us to press the fingerprints."

"Let's go to the county government to sue him!"

Mo Yanxu shook his folding fan and smiled so hard that he deserved to be beaten: "There are everyone's fingerprints on this. If the county magistrate knew about it, what do you think he would do?"

There are fingerprints and names, so who cares what the county magistrate will do?

Everyone froze on the spot, feeling extremely regretful for believing Mo Shenshu's lies.

Taking this opportunity, Mo Jianxu said: "Everyone, you always say that poor people are illiterate and will not delay moving goods and working. But can you guarantee that those literate masters will not lie to you?"

"How could I not be deceived by them?" One of them said: "Last year I worked as a day laborer for a wealthy man in the next county. Before I went, their housekeeper said they would give me eight dollars a month. Only after I drew the deposit did I find out that the amount written on their contract was eight dollars. Money for a year. I can’t sue, so I can only work for their family cowardly.”

"You're back after all." An old man said: "At first, someone said that my daughter could work as a maid in a wealthy family. They said that after signing the pledge, they would first give us two taels as a deposit, and then give us six taels. But they changed hands and sold me. My daughter was sold to the pit of fire.

I went to complain to the authorities, and they produced a contract saying that my daughter entered the brothel voluntarily, and it had our father and daughter's fingerprints on it. Not only was their daughter not rescued, but they were also sentenced to two taels of silver. Why……"

The old man sighed heavily and squatted on the ground wiping tears.

"Everyone, what do you think the purpose of studying is?" Mo Jianxu helped the old man up, "To test for fame? To make money? You are right. But the most basic thing about studying is to protect yourself from being deceived by those who know how to read. After we become literate, we We can learn things by reading books, and we can learn from the experience in the books and avoid detours. We no longer need to be laughed at by them and say that we are "blind".

Even if I give you five hundred coins a day, will it be enough to withstand their deception in the future? "

After saying that, he tore off the papers in his hands and asked Lu Chennian to open the door.

"Dear fellow villagers, this is the first lesson I teach you. Whether you want to continue learning or not is entirely up to you. The door is open, and those who want to leave can leave at any time, but you are also welcome to come back at any time.

I will wait for you here at Youshi every day. We only study for half an hour, so as not to delay everyone's work. I promise not to charge you a penny. "

Everyone looked at me, and I looked at you, and sat back on their stools silently, no one left.

Mo Yanxu's class has officially begun.

Jiang Zhixia and Xie Zezhi stood outside the courtyard wall. She hugged her shoulders and asked proudly: "How are you doing? My senior brother is great, isn't he?"

"It's good to start from the demand side and not make random promises. But Wensheng Shenjun seems to have more people."

Jiang Zhixia said disdainfully: "So what? He directly paid the people to stay there. I'll see how many people can stay in the end."

After saying that, she turned and left.

"Why are you going?"

"I'm going to tear down the house for him and see what else he can teach."

"Come back here!"
