Regarding Lu Zhishen's whereabouts and whereabouts, Yang Zhi on Erlong Mountain did not know. Since the "flower monk" left the cottage, the original second village owner Yang Zhi naturally became the master of the village, but this "green-faced beast" has a bumpy career, several ups and downs, and the grass is just its helpless choice.

Therefore, without Lu Zhishen's Erlong Mountain, all the minions can be regarded as herding sheep, Yang Zhi spends his leisure time practicing boxing and swords all day long, and has no intention of managing the affairs of the cottage. The minions are no longer restrained, where do they care about the rules of the cottage, go against the past behavior, and rob the passing merchants. Although it has a bad reputation, the grain, grass and weapons in the village are not as short as before, and they can be regarded as living a "normal" cottage life.

Lu Zhishen ran away, Yang Zhi didn't care about anything, and now the only person who is really in charge of the mountain is Cao Zheng, the "knife ghost" who snatched the foundation here with these two at the beginning.

This Cao Zheng is a native of Kaifeng Mansion, his ancestors were born as butchers, and he liked to practice guns and sticks since he was a child, because he lived next to the Lin family, but he got some guidance from Lin Chong, and then lost his capital because of making a living, and escaped from Tokyo in desperation, and finally settled in a restaurant under Huangnigang. thought that he was an ancestral craft, killing pigs and sheep, and that method was really clean and neat, so he got the blue eyes of the restaurant owner and recruited him as a son-in-law.

Like this kind of wild roadside restaurant, even if it doesn't make a living from that human meat bun, it has some force in this chaotic world full of bandits. More than a dozen guys in the store are brave people, and they can go into battle with a pig-killing knife, and Cao Zheng's old father-in-law also fought in the green forest when he was young, even Cao Zheng's Hun family has some bravery.

Such a family later went up the mountain, with Lu Zhishen and Yang Zhizhao on it, and Cao Zheng himself also has some ability, although he can't be the official leader of the cottage, but among the leaders of the minions, he is the hidden leader.

That Yang Zhi doesn't care about anything, the snake can't do it without a head, and under the recommendation of the leaders, this Cao Zheng has become the second owner of the cottage, and his actions can be regarded as justifiable.

Speaking of which, Cao Zheng is also quite intellectual, he originally designed to kill the "Golden Eye Tiger" Deng Long and rob the foundation of Erlong Mountain, although he relied on the force of Lu Zhishen and Yang Zhi, but if Cao Zheng was not plotting in it, with the dangerous terrain of Erlong Mountain, Lu Zhishen and Yang Zhi would have no chance of success even if they had the ability.

Since he is responsible for the affairs of the cottage, Cao Zheng also needs to plan, and the people in the surrounding villages have daily offerings, but they can't start. Rabbits still don't eat the grass next to the nest, which is not only a rule, but also the only way to save life in the green forest. Otherwise, if the public is angry, the officers and soldiers will come to suppress it, and with the guidance of such locals who are familiar with the inside of the village, even if the officers and soldiers cannot break the village, it will inevitably damage a lot of strength, and the gains outweigh the losses.

Hit the idea to the past merchants, Cao Zheng immediately ordered people to set up a hotel on the side of the official road more than 20 miles away from the main village of Erlong Mountain, or use the original gang of guys, not to make money, only to be the eyes and ears of the cottage. There is a business trip that passes through here and has abundant goods, and you can immediately go up the mountain to pass a message, and then the village has its own arrangements.

This kind of method is much more clever than Li Lina and other black shops that make human meat buns, not only do they not have to bear the reputation of a black shop in the green forest, they can eliminate the vigilance of some well-informed old people who are well-informed and travel, and they do not delay the sale of cottages, which can be described as two pence.

On this day, there was a Taoist from afar on the official road, dressed in a brocade robe, carrying a pine pattern bronze sword, wearing a dusty half in his arms, but sitting down was a good green donkey, walking around, the mountain breeze caressed, the clothes fluttered, there was a bit of the atmosphere of the Taoist.

It was nearly noon, and the man stopped in front of the store, and handed over the big green donkey under him to the guy who came to greet him, but he entered the house.

"This immortal chief, is it for dinner or for settling?"

Seeing such a character enter the store, the guys in the store are all poisonous, knowing that this ten ** is also a heroic figure on the green forest road, and they are all masters who can't rub sand in their eyes, how dare they slack off, and immediately come up to greet them politely.

"Prepare a few refreshing vegetarian dishes."

The man took a look at the furnishings in the store, then untied a gourd from his waist, handed it to the fellow, and said, "If there is good wine, fill this gourd, and if it is mixed with a little water, I will not rest with you!" ”

"Immortal Chief sit here, wait a while, and you'll have it immediately!"

The guy immediately yelled a few times at the back kitchen, and then scooped out the bright wine in an urn in front of the cabinet and filled the gourd.

Seeing that this guy's behavior was not evasive, the Dao Chang bowed slightly, looking quite satisfied. I think he is also used to walking the rivers and lakes, this boundary is close to Erlong Mountain, but he has to be careful, if it is a careless, the overturning of the boat in the gutter is not a joke.

After a while, when the meal was served, the tip of the Taoist's nose passed, and he knew that there was no additional "seasoning" in it, so he immediately ate a full meal, and when he went out, he gave a reward of 20 Wen, and in the man's thousand thanks, he left.

The man was sent away, but the guy at the counter smiled proudly, and hurriedly asked people to send a message to the village, saying that it could not be a big deal.

That person is a person in the green forest, although the wealth is not exposed, but the pocket must be rich, this kind of black and black business is really good to make a living.

The Taoist didn't know that he had been targeted, and he walked along the mountain road all the way, but he didn't want to just walk twenty miles, but in the forest in front of him was killing twenty or thirty strongmen with sharp blades in his hands.

"I don't know if it's a person from Erlong Mountain in person? In Xiashui Boliang Mountain, under the throne of Chaotian, the grandson of the 'Cloud Dragon' wins! ”

Suddenly there was a great change, but the man was flat, just smiling, and he didn't even get off the back of the donkey, but just stood on it, holding his fists from afar.

"It turned out to be Gongsun Daochang, but it was abrupt, don't be surprised!"

The leader of this descent is the "knife ghost" Cao Zheng, who heard that it was a black and black business, and was worried that his subordinates were not opponents, so he went out in person, but he didn't want the water to wash the Dragon King Temple, and the family didn't recognize the family.

This Gongsun Sheng married Cao Zheng's oral master Lin Chong in Liangshanbo, and he is still an "elder", but they are all brothers in the green forest, and they are not so particular.

Waving his hand and repelling a group of minions, Cao Zheng took the initiative to meet him and arched his hand: "I don't know if my master is good?" ”

Gongsun Sheng had also heard Lin Chong talk about this Cao Zheng in Liangshan, and he was not a real disciple, but since the other party said this, he wanted to give face and share face, so he immediately smiled and said: "Lin Jiaotou is all right on the mountain, and he has nothing to worry about practicing the people in the village all day long!" ”

The two exchanged pleasantries for a while, this Cao Zheng was going to invite people up the mountain to entertain him, but Gongsun Sheng retreated, so he had to nod and agree.
