"A hero, according to the Qin law, assist in the capture of thieves. The government has rewards. The hero cannot leave like this!" Meng Tian stopped the middle-aged man, worried that he was a child, and he was a slight person, but when he spoke, he used Qin law as a shield.

"But I haven't heard that I must go and receive the reward?" The middle-aged man was stunned, hugged his arm and smiled, "Isn't it okay to be chivalrous and help others?"

Meng Tian understood that this person was a typical knight in this era, almost a character living in martial arts novels, not seeking glory and wealth, but only seeking revenge. The chivalrous culture in Chinese society has a long history and is particularly prosperous in the Warring States Period. The chivalrous violated the ban with martial arts, and Qin vigorously suppressed the knights who did not do anything to produce and wandered around, but the chivalrous culture was not banned in Qin, but it was much more low-key. Thinking of this, Meng Tian was both curious and scared. If this person had just stood by the assassin, he was afraid that he would have been a corpse at this time.

"The Qin law stipulates that helping others is rewarded, and you don't go to receive rewards. This is a simple elevation of social moral standards. What do people in the future think about it!" Meng Tian thought for a while, and only criticized the atmosphere of helping others but not receiving rewards. "Zi Lu helped those who fell into the water and received rewards calmly. He got a cow. Confucius was very happy when he heard about it, and even praised that people would use it to rescue those who fell into the water. Zigong helped those who fell into the water, but did not go to the government to receive rewards according to regulations. After Confucius learned about it, he criticized Zigong. Heroes, what is the difference between your behavior and Zigong?"

The man heard it, his eyes were a little playful, and he looked at Meng Tian curiously. He naturally knew Confucius' teachings. Qin was not as good as Qi and Lu, and did not promote Confucianism. Confucius did not have much reputation in Qin, but instead spoke most of the critical words. The boy in front of him was young, wearing a sword, and had an extraordinary temperament. He was mostly a descendant of aristocratic people. He spoke lessons but mentioned Confucius' teachings. Could it be that this child's family had a tradition of Confucianism?

"If three people go, there must be my teacher. You are right. I, Bu Xing, will go with you to receive the reward!" Bu Xing no longer insisted and followed Meng Tian, ​​thinking in his heart that I have been studying abroad for many years and have heard about Zigong and Yan Hui's reputation. The Zixia lineage where I am in is not famous now. I remember that when Wei Wenhou was alive, Zixia was the teacher of Wenhou. How prosperous was the Xihe School? It was really a fate!

Meng Tian was about to go to the county government, and a team of soldiers rushed over. The first cavalry general was Meng Wu. After receiving the news of the assassin's assassination, he ordered his generals to strengthen their protection for Zhao Ji, while personally rushing to Meng Tian's direction. Damn assassin, Damn County Magistrate, how can I manage public security? If my son Meng Tian has any problems, it depends on how you will be in charge?

"Meng Tian, ​​isn't your fault? Are you injured?" Meng Wu was very concerned about Meng Wu's current situation, but for his duty, he still first asked about Ying Zheng's situation.

"Father, the young master is fine. Thanks to this hero Bu Xing's help, my young master and I can be safe and sound." Meng Tian took the opportunity to recommend Bu Xing to Meng Wu. He made up his mind and found an opportunity to persuade Meng Wu to accept Bu Xing as a visitor to the Meng family.

"Thank you for helping me!" Meng Wu bowed and thanked her, looking at Bu Xing secretly. Seeing that he had a hint of elegance in his martial arts and his age was comparable to him, he nodded in his heart and felt a lot of good feelings. The Meng family's ancestral home is Qi and practices martial arts in the times, but it is not only based on his blood and courage, but also attaches great importance to family traditions and is quite close to people who value both civil and military affairs.

Meng Tian greeted a group of soldiers to protect Ying Zheng to take a shower and change clothes. The soldiers who participated in the killing of the assassin carried the assassin's body to the county government. Their eyes at the corpse were full of heat, and they were already looking forward to bounty and titles in their hearts.

After receiving the news of the assassin's assassination, the Dali County Magistrate was so shocked that he could hardly stand his footing. Since taking office, the Dali County Magistrate has never committed such a vicious crime. Although he was unaware of it, according to the regulations on the assessment of officials, it would inevitably affect his year-end assessment. When he came to his senses, he quickly notified the county magistrate to strengthen his vigilance and never make any mistakes.

The county jail examined the body, and the county magistrate made records. After the situation was verified, he evaluated the merits and rewarded it. It was already evening. The officials of Qin State were very efficient in their work, and the matters that could be handled on the same day could not be delayed until tomorrow. These grassroots Qin officials left a deep impression on Meng Tian. The Qin State was booming, and the Qin army was invincible and defeated. In addition to martial arts, it was also due to the efficiency of the operation of the entire national system.

"Mr. Bu, it's getting late. Why don't you go back to the camp with us to rest for a night?" When Bu Xing was about to say goodbye, Meng Tian first invited him.

"Yes, I just went to the county government. Your test is recorded that you are from Shangjun. When I was young, I joined the army in Shangjun. Speaking of which, I haven't returned to Shangjun to see it for several years." Meng Wu had never thought of inviting Bu Xing to the military camp, but Meng Tian showed expectation on his face and could not bear to disobey Meng Tian's wishes.

Bu Xing did not refuse. He knew that the person in front of him was Meng Wu, the son of the general Meng Ao of Qin, and was also a powerful general of Qin. The Meng family came from Qi, where Confucianism was prosperous, and the Meng family should not reject Confucianism. Perhaps, we can take this as an opportunity to pioneer Confucianism in Qin and rebuild the glory of the Xihe School.

On the way back to the camp, Meng Tian consciously landed behind Meng Wu, listening more and speaking less. Between the lines, Meng Tian learned more information. It turned out that Bu Xing was from Shangjun, who had been doing business for generations, but he had no interest in doing business. No wonder, the merchants of Qin were rich, but they did not have a particularly high social status. At the age of 20, he decided to go out of Hangu Pass with his sword to find a famous teacher to learn sword. After he got out of the army, Ren Xia was dissolute. When he was in Chu, he encountered thieves and almost died. After walking for a while at the critical moment of life and death, he felt that the life of a knight was a little boring, and he could not help the world and the people, and left his name in history. When he was confused, he met a hermit and scholar in the mountains on the way, so he worshipped his disciples and lived in the mountains.

"Later, I realized that Mr. Zixia passed it on to Confucius' disciple Zixia, but now few people mention Zixia's reputation." Bu Xing sighed, "Mr. Before his death, he taught me to revive Zixia's learning, and I dare not carry it day and night. After leaving the mountain, I went to Qi, where Confucianism was prosperous and I wanted to run a school to make a living, but I didn't expect that most Confucian scholars in Qi prefer empty talk and not practical. I think that when Zixia went to Wei to give lectures, the Xihe School was prosperous for a while, and in Qin and Jin, people emphasized practicality. The fact that Confucianism in Qin was not prosperous may be an opportunity for my Zixia."

"I didn't expect that the sir was actually a Confucian scholar?" Meng Tian tilted his head. He thought in his heart that Bu Xing should be a complete swordsman.

"I am a Confucian scholar, what's so strange about it?" Bu Xing was a little puzzled. Why did Meng Tian make a fuss?

"I thought Confucian scholars were all like jade faces and had no power to tie a chicken with their hands!" Meng Tian smiled. In the impression of later generations, those who read sages were useless and were scholars who were extremely despised and wiped out the martial spirit of the Han people. But unexpectedly, Bu Xing, who had just shot an assassin and drew his sword to kill people, was also a Confucian scholar.

"What's so strange about this? Confucius is proficient in the six arts and is very skilled in martial arts. The Zilu you just mentioned was born under the name of Master after being defeated by Master." Bu Xing thought about when Confucian scholars gave the impression that they were powerless, that's not bad. How could the Meng family help him to prosper Confucianism in Qin? "Wu Qi, do you know? Before he learned military strategy, he first learned Confucianism. When he met Wei Wenhou, he was wearing not armor, but Confucian uniforms...."
