Chapter 59: Skeleton Thieves
"Brother Li, come on, this group of people are all in our way!"
The shopkeeper heard the sound of the dishes shattering, and tiptoed in to take a look, and was delighted.
Before the words fell, Xiao Er and the woman came in, Xiao Er stroked his unkempt hair and said: "Spare you like a ghost, drink the old lady's footwashing water, it seems that this black guy is a rich man, I will first see how much silver is in the money bag." ”
That Xiao Eryi grabbed Song Jiang's money bag, but he felt that something was wrong, why couldn't his hand reach for the bag, what force was stopping him? He looked down and saw that his elbow was clenched by Huachen and he couldn't move.
Xiao Er was shocked and wanted to forcibly pull out, but before he moved, he was hugged and pressed to the ground by Hua Chen, and he fell into a lot of meat, and he could only gasp. At the same time, the bewitched man stood up and surrounded him and the woman.
At this time, even the mentally handicapped can figure out with their toes, and they have been pecked in the eyes by geese all day long, and they have fallen into the trap of others. Seeing this, the shopkeeper standing at the door ran away early, leaving the dumbfounded proprietress and Xiao Er lying on the ground.
The little two also knew the general situation, although he was pressed to the ground by Huachen, he blurted out the words of begging for mercy: "Xiao Ke has eyes and doesn't know Mount Tai, offends all heroes, I hope you heroes will show mercy!" Mountains and rivers meet, today's grace, he repays each other every day! ”
Song Jiang asked, "A word of offense will let me let you go?" You must have killed a lot of people by doing this kind of unreasonable business, and it is an exclusive business, right? If it weren't for my cleverness today, the four of us would have confessed to your black shop. You said that if you were replaced by me, could I spare you? ”
Xiao Er said with a smile: "It is better to settle the dispute, as long as the hero keeps the lives of my husband and wife, I will agree to any request, and you can take the gold and silver in the store." If the heroes insist on taking my life......"
He suddenly said viciously: "It's not me Li Li who scares you, if I urge the judge to die, you will definitely not be able to get out of Jieyangling alive!" ”
"Huh! I'm not afraid of flashing my tongue when I talk too much, I want to see if we can get out of Jieyangling......"
Halfway through speaking, Song Jiang suddenly asked, "Are you Li Li?" Jianghu people call Li Li, who urged the judge? ”
Li Li looked at Song Jiang in surprise and replied: "It's here, I don't know how my brother knows Li Li's name?" ”
Song Jiang hurriedly asked Huachen to let go of Li Li, helped him up and said, "It's really a big flood that washed the Dragon King Temple, and the family doesn't recognize the family." I was offended a lot just now, and I apologized to my brother in Song Jiang, Yuncheng, Xiashan Mountain. ”
"Isn't it timely rain Song Gongming!?"
After receiving an affirmative answer, Li Li bowed down and said, "The younger brother has no eyes, and he almost hurt his brother." ”
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and the atmosphere was suddenly relaxed. Li Li invited everyone to re-sit and instructed the Hun family to re-serve the food and wine.
Song Jiang asked, "Why are you the second brother?" ”
Li Li smiled and said the reason.
It turned out that Li Li deliberately changed positions with Xiao Er, singing the double reed with a red and white face, the purpose was to paralyze the guests, most people like to be smart and speculate on other people's things, what Xiao Er seduced the boss lady, the master is weak and the servant is strong...... As long as they can think of it, it will become a topic of conversation at their dinner table.
In this way, the guests are weak in defense and are easy to be tricked. Song Jiang thinks about it, the gossip news of later generations is the topic of people's after-dinner conversations, sex, violence, and death are the themes of this kind of news, and all kinds of self-righteous posts are flying all over the sky.
Li Li can take advantage of this weakness of people to make a fuss, which shows that the "urging judge" is not a reckless man who only understands violence, but still has a certain amount of wisdom.
While everyone was staggering, they only heard the noise outside the door, and many people poured into the hotel box. The big man in the lead has thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a short beard around his mouth, which is much cooler than Jacky Cheung.
He saw that Li Li and the others were fine, and turned to the fake shopkeeper Zhen Xiaoer and said, "Didn't you say that Li Li was taken down?" Chengxin lied to me, don't you want to beg for a fight? ”
Xiao Er was also at a loss, and stammered: "This?······ ······ just now"
Li Li stood up and said, "There was a misunderstanding, Brother Li came to me to introduce a few characters to you." ”
As he spoke, he pointed at Song Jiang and said: "This is the famous Yuncheng in the rivers and lakes, Song Jiang and Song Gongming!" ”
When the man heard this, he bowed his head and said: "Li Jun has not been able to worship his face, he usually misses it, he just wants to go to Yuncheng to visit his brother, but he is riddled with mundane things, and his fate is shallow, and it is really a great blessing for me to see my brother today." ”
Song Jiang picked up Li Jun and said: "The hero of the mixed river dragon is young and deserves his name. ”
"Don't you hurry up and see my brother!"
Li Jun pointed to the two behind him and said: "They are two brothers, the elder brother is called to be Dongjiao Tongwei, and the younger brother is called to be the mirage Tong Meng, both of whom are good at water, and they follow their brothers to live on the Yangtze River." ”
After the two worshipped, Song Jiang introduced Ruan Xiaoqi and others, as well as his brother Song Qing's experience, if you pass by to take more care, everyone agreed, and then added wine to the table, and the sky was dark for all the heroes to drink.
The next day, he couldn't resist Li Jun's warm invitation and bid farewell to Li Li, and Song Jiang and his party went to Li Junzhuang.
Li Jun is really a figure with an identity in Jieyang, and Zhuangzi is very magnificent. A row of weeping willows outside the door lives up to the spring, the branches are as thick and soft as the dense hair of a beauty, straight to the ground, dancing with the breeze to show more graceful posture, and the willow leaves are tender and green to show full of vitality.
The decoration of the home is elegant and atmospheric, there is no vulgar luxury, but it shows nobility in elegance. It seems that Li Jun is a little restrained and not particularly flamboyant.
Song Jiang and the others sat down in the living room, Li Jun was not married, and there were no relatives at home, only some subordinates.
He arranged the food and drink, and was hospitable, and everyone was happy to eat and drink. During this period, Li Jun proposed to marry Song Jiang as brothers with different surnames. Song Jiang readily agreed, so the two burned incense and kowtowed to drink blood wine, and immediately became righteous, and the Tong brothers showed envious eyes.
During the dinner, Li Jun talked about the "three tyrants" here. Jieyangling himself and Li Li are a tyrant, the brothers Mu Hong and Mu Chun in Jieyang Town are a tyrant, and Zhang Heng and Zhang Shun brothers on the Xunyang River are a tyrant.
Song Jiang knows that the "three tyrants" have a backer, an area of land, and a bully of water, firmly controlling the entire Jieyang region, and Li Jun is the head of the "three tyrants".
In the conversation, I couldn't see Li Jun have the slightest smugness, and the person who spat and smashed a pit in Jieyang actually had such a state of mind, which shows that Mingjianglong is not a reckless man who only knows how to grab silver, but a scheming person. If this person is used to develop the underground forces of Jieyang, it must be a good choice.
So that night, after the banquet, Song Jiang went to Li Jun's room alone for a deep conversation, and the conversation was recorded as follows:
Song Jiang: Brother, do you know my current identity? Worshipping me may bring you calamity, do you regret it?
Li Jun: Where did my brother go, Li Jun is willing to worship with his brother without the slightest regret, and he is willing to be in the same boat with his brother in the future, sharing weal and woe!
Song Jiang: Brother, can you know that I got into a lawsuit, and I killed Yan Po first, and Qingfeng Mountain fell last. Now it has annexed Shadow Mountain and Huangshan Gate, and has also formed an alliance with Erlong Mountain and Peach Blossom Mountain and is the leader of the alliance. With such an identity, he will definitely be despised by the imperial court, so he will take the road of no return in the future, won't this bring disaster to his brothers?
Li Jun: My brother's deeds are spread in the rivers and lakes, and I know a little bit about it. Li Jun admires his brother's character, what his brother does is a hero's behavior, Li Jun is not only not afraid, but also supports his brother, and is willing to join hands with his brother to fight for a future together, but regrets in this life!
Song Jiang: My brothers don't know anything, but now the court is corrupt and traitors are in charge. does not resist the outside world, and the fat grandson who is full of money is countless every year; Internally, he wantonly oppressed the people, showed his grandfather power, and levied taxes and levies from time to time. Now the people are not living, the heroes from all walks of life are ready to move, the court is actually strong outside, and then it will be troubled, so we must strengthen our strength in order to survive in the troubled times.
Li Jun: Brother, is it not intentionally competing for the best?
Song Jiang: This is a very early matter, and we are just working hard to have more security in troubled times. Brothers often go to sea must know a truth, the small sail is difficult to move an inch in the strong wind and waves, only to watch the destroyed life, and the big ship can move smoothly in the storm, its own hard is the last word, otherwise people are soft-spoken, who is impatient to pay attention to you.
Li Jun: When my brother spoke, Li Junmao suddenly opened, I don't know what Li Jun needs to do now, please let my brother know.
Song Jiang: In addition to keeping the Jieyang area firmly in your own hands, you should also make a fuss on the water. Build large ships to recruit more sailors, develop the water transportation industry, and at the same time train water forces to set sail to deal with traitors, corrupt officials, and gentry and bullies.
Li Jun: Li Jun remembered, in the future, he will follow his brother in the wind and rain, and he will never complain, and he is willing to follow his brother for the rest of his life and open up a world.
Half a year later, there was a team of pirates in the Xunyang River and even other waters, they were well-organized, brave and good at fighting, came and went without a trace, everyone wore a skull mask, specially hijacked the ships and property of traitorous profiteers, corrupt officials, and gentry and bullies, and the waterway was terrified, and the rivers and lakes called it "skeleton thieves".
