The onlookers were eager to hear what they had to say, but it was impossible. After Zhang Rui listened to Du Mu for a while, Zhang Rui asked the bandit team members to separate the onlookers from the villagers in an open space.

The two men were whispering something. Suddenly, I saw Zhang Rui slap Du Mu.

This sudden change made the villagers stunned, and they couldn't react at all.

At this time, I saw Zhang Rui say to everyone: "This damn guy actually dares to lie to me, I decided to kill him personally." ”

Du Mu was desperately kowtowing there and begging for mercy, and even the members of the bandit suppression team felt that Du Mu actually dared to deceive the sixth brother, and he must not let him die so easily.

The crowd is surging, and all kinds of shouting and killing sounds.

"Folks, I, Zhang Liu, am very grateful to all the folks for their help. Nothing happened next. As a token of my gratitude to all the folks, I hereby announce that all those present will receive a tael of silver. Zhang Rui said to the villagers who were holding forks, sickles, hoes and other farm tools in their hands

"Wow......"

"What did the sixth brother just say?"

"A tael of silver?"

"Three of you came to your house? Your grandfather is here too? ”

………

Zhang Rui's words were tantamount to throwing a big stone in the calm water among the villagers, and it exploded and boiled at once.

Among the villagers, there are many "old people" in their fifties who can't believe that they can fight, but they just watch a lot of excitement. There are also some children who are only about thirteen or fourteen years old, who just follow the adults in the family, and they can't think of making a silver tael.

When did silver make so much money? A tael of silver, I haven't seen it before, but now I can actually get it in my hand? I can't think about it. Sure enough, if you want to follow the sixth brother, there are definitely a lot of benefits.

"Steward Li, come here." Zhang Rui shouted at Li Ming, who was in a daze in the distance

Hearing Zhang Rui's words, Li Chao hurriedly ran over. He asked Zhang Rui, "What's the matter with the sixth brother looking for the little one?" ”

"You can count?" Zhang Rui asked

"Yes."

"That's okay, here's six hundred taels, I guess it's enough for one or two of the villagers here. You help me to exchange money and send it down. Can it be done? Zhang Rui said and took out the silver ticket from his arms and handed it to Li Ming.

Li Chao listened to Zhang Rui's words, where did he dare to refuse. He could only agree, but he didn't understand it in his heart. This is six hundred taels of silver, and it was given to this group of mud legs? It hurts to think about it, I really can't understand Zhang Liu.

The villagers watched Zhang Rui hand the silver ticket to Li Ming, and their hearts were very excited. sang praises to Zhang Rui, and was a little skeptical about people who didn't believe in rumors very much.

Six hundred taels of silver, what a huge sum of money. But the sixth brother didn't even think about it and gave himself and others, you know, we didn't help in anything.

Later, Zhang Rui arranged for Li Si, Wu Lei, Li Niushi, and twenty other members of the bandit team to assist Li Chao in this matter.

Because there was money to receive, the villagers all left with Li Chao and the others, and they didn't forget to thank Zhang Rui before leaving.

After a while, the villagers left

Li Sigou handed Zhang Rui a bag of silver and copper coins that the dead bandits had touched on their bodies. There are also silver tickets on Li Ba and some bandits, and he didn't understand how much it was.

Zhang Rui borrowed the silver ticket handed by Li Sigou and glanced at it, and there were actually more than two thousand taels, one of which was one thousand taels, one was five hundred taels, and the others ranged from two hundred taels to fifty taels.

"I really didn't expect that this five-boss is much richer than the sixth-master." Zhang Rui thought in his heart.

"Today, all the brothers of our bandit suppression team, each of you can give five taels of silver."

When the bandit team members present heard this, they all cheered. Many people feel as if they haven't done anything, so they just come out and stand up.

Next, Liu Shishi was rewarded with two taels of silver for being the first to carry out Zhang Rui's order, and Hong Hu and Cheng Long were rewarded with three taels for their meritorious service. And Li Deyun, Li Decai and the two of them killed the most enemies and took the most credit, and they were directly rewarded with an additional twenty taels.

The sound of rewards continued, and the people who were rewarded were full of smiles. Those who were not rewarded were either envious or unwilling.

"Your reward will be given to you later, and the rest will be more dangerous. If any of you don't want to go, you can stand up and go back, and the money will be given to you later. Zhang Rui said to everyone

"We all believe that Sixth Brother is coming to suppress the bandits, and he will not be afraid of death." A young man next to Zhang Rui said with a smile on his face

"Yes, that's what Nine Dogs said I wanted to say." Another young man not far from him said

………

"Thank you very much for your trust, after this time, as long as you are willing to stay, you will be a member of my bandit team." Zhang Rui said with some emotion

As soon as these words came out, everyone cheered again.

Suddenly, I saw Zhang Rui untie the rattan tied to Du Mu's hand, helped Du Mu up and said, "Brother Du, I have been offended." ”

"Don't dare, don't dare, everything is a last resort." Du Mu wiped the dirt on his face and said.

This sudden scene confused the bandits who were still tied to the side and the bandit members around them.

"Now Brother Du Mu is also a member of our bandit team, and he will take us to attack Zhilian Mountain in a while." Zhang Rui said to the puzzled people around him

"Yes, in Xia Du Mu, I have seen all the brothers!" Du Mu bowed his hand and said around the surroundings

Although the people of the bandit suppression team couldn't understand it, Zhang Rui said what he said. If you can understand Zhang Rui, this is not normal.

So, everyone nodded their heads in return.

The bandits tied to the side saw it and hurriedly shouted for help to Du Mu.

"Sixth brother, do you see this?" Du Mu looked at the bandits who were still squatting on the ground and said to Zhang Rui

"You've explained to them in the past that it's okay if they're willing to help. But if they're still going to be stubborn, then they get it. Zhang Rui looked at the bandits and said to Du Mu, and then motioned for the bandit members who were watching the bandits to leave, and asked Du Mu to go over and talk to them.

……

In Du Mu's words, both soft and hard. All the bandits defected one after another, saying that they wanted to "start anew". Make a gift for Zhang Rui to win Zhilian Mountain.

It turns out that the strength of Zhilian Mountain has not only risen sharply recently, but also "the wealth is widely advanced".

Ten days before Zhang Rui killed Lei Leopard, Zhong Wuliang, the second leader, and Guo Jiatang, the fourth leader, tied up the rich son of a salt merchant in Guangdong and extorted 20,000 taels of silver. So he took twenty-six of his men and went to collect the money.

And four days before Zhang Rui killed Lei Leopard, the big boss Zhou Tongtie tied up the second son of a big grain merchant in Hunan, extorted 10,000 taels of silver, and took 20 second-hand people out to collect money.

Excluding the people who were killed by Zhang Rui, there are now only three masters in the entire cottage, Liu Muxiu, and more than a dozen bandits, and there are only two old bandits. And Liu Muxiu is a scholar who only cares about accounts, without any force, and he was also a bandit who had to go up the mountain to be oppressed by the government.

Therefore, as long as the gate of Zhilianshan Cottage is deceived and the two old bandits are solved, the entire Zhilianshan is a matter of handicap. In this regard, Zhang Rui has no reason not to give it a go.
