Chapter 288: Grievances in the rivers and lakes
Unexpectedly, after waiting for more than ten days, Zhang Kui did not come to look for trouble, but Ma Xiong sent an invitation.
When Mu Hong heard Ma Xiong, he said disdainfully: "That broken house in Jieyang Town? ”
Xiaoba said: "The heroes of Liangshan made trouble in Jiangzhou before, killing and injuring many officials, and his brother Ma Ying made up for the vacancy, became an official, and gained a little power. Ma Xiong relied on his brother's power to act as a prestige in Jieyang Town, and he became a hegemon alone, and everyone was afraid of him, and he was nicknamed the Black God."
Mu Hong sneered: "It is that there are no tigers in the mountains, and the monkey is called the king." When my brother was here, how dare he be big. ”
Li Jun gritted his teeth and said, "Could it be that this is the one who killed my uncle?" ”
Xiaoba said: "Although it's not the hand of this guy, it has nothing to do with him." This guy invited the master to Jieyang Town, wanting to force the master to hand over the goods. The master rejected him on the spot, and Ma Xiong was afraid of the master's martial arts, and he didn't dare to embarrass the master. Behind his back, he went to the official mansion to denounce it, and asked Jiangzhou to bring people to arrest the master. ”
When Li Jun heard this, he couldn't help gritting his teeth and said: "If we and other children of the rivers and lakes have any grievances, they should be resolved in the rivers and lakes, but Ma Xiong's gang has broken the rules." Could it be that my uncle died at the hands of the government? ”
Xiaoba shook his head and said, "No, fortunately, a friend of mine, Wang Er, learned the news from Ma Xiong and leaked it to us." Seeing that he couldn't escape the arrest of the government, the master led people to ambush them on the road and killed all those officials. ”
Li Jun patted the case and said: "It's good to kill, shouldn't I be hurt if I kill these officials with my uncle's martial arts?" ”
Xiaoba nodded and said, "In this battle, Master was not injured. After killing the officers and soldiers, the master said, to get to the bottom of it, it is all for Zhang Kui, wait for me to kill this house first, and then kill the dog man and woman surnamed Ma when I come back. Then he led Yu Gui and the others to Xiaogushan to kill Zhang Kui, because the younger brother had a family, the master did not let me participate in the killing of the official and the aftermath.
After Master left. I didn't dare to sleep, so I waited in the house. At the fifth watch that night, several fire families carried the master back, and his face was like yellow wax, and his mind was shriveled. It turned out that the master was there and Zhang Kui, but he didn't want to be plotted by them, he was hit by a medicine fork in the chest, and his senior brother Yu Gui was also plotted and lost his life. The master stayed up until dawn and died. ”
Li Jun listened to Xiaoba's words. couldn't help but feel sour, his eyes were hot, and a wave of heroic tears came down his eyes, crying out bitterly: "I don't want my uncle to die so painfully, if I don't avenge him, I will live in vain!" ”
After that, he wiped away his tears, jumped up, and immediately went to Xiaogushan to kill Zhang Kui.
Mu Hong grabbed Li Jun and said, "Brother, slow down!" Revenge should be avenged. It was only later that the village was relocated. Hachi hasn't explained it yet, and it's not too late to pay attention to it when the preparation is finished. ”
Li Jun sat down patiently and said, "It's okay!" Little Hachi. Tell me quickly, what about the future? ”
Xiaoba said: "I did too much because of this matter, and I leaked the news, not a trick." He hurriedly buried the old man's house. All the things in the house were destroyed, and all traces were destroyed. He also commanded the people of the village. Don't make a noise, lest you get involved in lawsuits. Later, an official came to ask, but the people in the village had already received my orders, and they did not show their filling. It's just that Zhang Kui's gang still sent people to set fire a few times, and the people in the village were suspicious, so they had to move here to hide. ”
Li Jun shouted: "What kind of birds are you afraid of!" He came to set fire to kill people, so I returned him to kill people and set fires, and he was not a good man, so he had to hide in the muddy pool. ”
Zhu Xiaoba bowed his head and said, "It's shameful to say!" Because my master and brother were killed, I often wanted to take revenge, but I couldn't do it alone; All the fire families are useless, and they can't succeed in many points, so they startle the snake, but they make preparations, and I wanted to go to Liangshanbo to visit the eldest brother and complain about the grievances. First, the road is far away and the place is unfamiliar; Second, because the old mother and wife are often deaf, they don't let go out, they pull one of my hearts, and they want to do it several times. Because of this, there is a dilemma, put the great enmity aside, and postpone it until now, it's really ashamed to think about it! ”
Li Jun said: "Hugh said those reasons, I only blame you for not coming to the news." ”
Zhu Xiaoba was also ashamed, and he didn't dare to explain.
Mu Hong hurriedly said: "Don't blame Xiaoba, let him and us avenge our uncle." ”
Zhu Xiaoba hurriedly said: "The younger brother is willing to take revenge with the two elder brothers." ”
That night, Li Jun and Mu Hong had dinner and stayed at Zhu Xiaoba's house to discuss revenge.
Easy to pass overnight.
The next day, Li Jun got up, took out the fragments of silver around him, and asked Zhu Xiaoba to go to the comprador incense candles, the dark skull, the fresh fruits, all kinds of rituals, as soon as everything was ready, after eating, he walked out of the gate of Zhu's house.
Xiaoba led the way, Mu Hong helped take the sacrifice, and Li Jun changed into filial piety clothes and followed behind.
A group of three people came up the ridge until Li Fu's grave, Xiaoba and Mu Hong took out the sacrifices, laid them down one by one in front of the grave, put incense on them, lit candles, and Li Jun fell down and bowed.
He said: "On that day, my uncle did not listen to his nephew, refused to go with him, and stayed here, resulting in a tragic death, which is very sad. Today, my nephew is here to pay respects, and I want to design revenge for you, and hope that my uncle will be silently blessed! ”
Li Jun said goodbye, burned the ingot silk with his own hands, and cried loudly on the ground, causing Mu Hong and Xiaoba to feel very panicked and sad to accompany tears.
After the memorial service, I packed up all my things, went up to the mountain together, and returned to Xiaoba's house.
The three of them walked into the house, only to see six or seven people sitting there, and when they saw Li Jun coming back, they stood up and said, "So happy, Brother Li is really back!" They all got up and saluted, calling for the eldest brother one after another.
When Li Jun saw it, they were all little brothers who had never followed him to Liangshan in the old days.
One of them, named Golden Carp Shi Quan, first said: "Brother Li, I haven't seen you for many years, why is the wind blowing here?" Yesterday someone walked by the foot of the ridge and saw you standing there, staring at a grass house. When we came back and talked about it, we didn't believe it, saying that the eldest brother is now a general in Daliang, and when he comes back, he will not see the wrong person? Most of us were puzzled and unbelieving, and when it was a lie, we had nothing to do, so we made an appointment to come and find out. I don't want to be really the eldest brother and Brother Mu Hong, how can it not be happy! ”
At the moment, everyone was very happy and said goodbye to each other; Li Jun also confessed his intentions, grieving the murder of his uncle, and bent on seeking revenge on Zhang Kui.
Shi Quan shouted again: "Brother Li, when you talk about this, you are really angry!" Since the three tyrants went here, no one has dominated the city, so Zhang Kui has come out of the house, and secretly colluded with the bully Ma Xiong in Jieyang Town, the bigger the momentum, the more rampant one day a day, the one who follows the other is born, and the one who goes against the other dies. In the past, we took care of our eldest brother, and sometimes we went to Jiangzhong to catch up with a little business, as long as the eldest brother had nothing to say, who dared to bully. Unexpectedly, the recent personnel changes, Zhang Kui's house is wanton, nosy, unjust, self-proclaimed subordinates are powerful, and the small gang is not in his eyes. Speaking of the places around here recently, no one dares to do it except for his henchmen who have been rushing on the river. If you want to make a little deal, you must first go and make a joint with him, ask him to agree, and then divide it equally with each other. Otherwise, if you do it yourself, he will not let you be safe and useful, either he will come forward to oppose you, or the public will come to chase you, and if you miss a little, your life will be suspended. ”
Another sea ghost Hu Yong interjected and said: "This house has become more and more fierce recently, don't say that you must listen to his instructions to rush to buy and sell, and divide it equally, that is, he will divide the fishing, and he will also draw a fish tax, if you should not, he will chop you into the water, and even the boat will be cut off." Seeing that there is only his power here, there is no way to call the heavens, and there is no way to enter the earth, if you talk about your life, I am afraid that it will not be as good as a dog. ”
Everyone complained, only to make a bastard river dragon Li Jun's eyes red with anger, and shouted: "My anger is on the top beam, don't mention this dog man and woman again." When we were dominant, we were not so domineering. The good man wants to be cool, so I rushed to the little lonely mountain and cut off the head with a knife. ”
Everyone said in unison: "Okay, fortunately, Brother Li is back at this time, the time of death has arrived, and he can get out of this evil breath!" ”
Shi Quandao: "Brother Li is determined to take revenge, why fight sooner or later, we haven't been together for many years, and we are also bitter in lovesickness." It's rare to meet again today, so I just get some wine and meat, and everyone will be happy for a few days, and then go there to do it. ”
Li Jun shook his head and said: "I can't bear it for a day, and besides, my Liang is about to wipe out the Song Dynasty, and I need to rush back as soon as possible if I take revenge." ”
Shi Quandao: "We also heard that the Liang soldiers were strong and strong, defeated the 200,000 army of the Song Dynasty, and occupied many state capitals. My brother must also be a general, but it's a pity that we didn't know the real dragon in the old days, so we didn't go to Liangshan with my brother last year. I regret it now, I don't expect to be a general like my brother, but I am also majestic as a pawn under my brother. I don't know if my brother is willing to bring the deed, will we? ”
As he spoke, several people fell to the ground together.
Li Jun helped everyone up and said, "They are all old brothers, when you are willing, when I take revenge, we will go north together, and then I can get together with those brothers of Daliang." ”
Everyone was also very happy when they heard that Li Jun was willing to take them.
Li Jun saw that he had received help from a few more people, so he wanted to take someone to kill Zhang Kui.
Zhu Xiaoba hurriedly persuaded: "Da Lang is anxious, Ma Xiong is not what he used to be, his subordinates are powerful and well-informed; In addition, Jieyang Town is a noisy place, and there are officers and soldiers guarding the town. ”
Li Jun said: "If you are cautious, you can't kill people, and if you want to kill, you are not careful." Your nickname is in vain to call the water rhinoceros, but you are so cowardly that you have to be regarded as a water rat. ”
Mu Hong saw that Xiaoba was embarrassed, so he said: "Brother, I don't think Xiaoba is timid, just because there are many ears and eyes there, and I am afraid that I can't do it in a hurry." If they are allowed to escape, we will have to wait until we lead the army south. It's better to wait until the night to do it. ”
Golden Carp Shi Quan also said: "Big brother, wait a minute, let's get some wine and food, everyone eats until the evening, and when they are full, they just go to kill." ”
Xiaoba also said: "Let me go to Wang Er, he knows Ma Xiong's situation well, and with him leading the way, he should save a lot of trouble." ”
When Li Jun heard this, he said patiently: "Then you guys go." (To be continued.) )
