Zhang Qing and Sun Erniang watched Shi Jin and everyone go up the ridge, and then returned to the hotel.

After entering the hotel, Zhang Qing hesitated, but said, "The second sister-in-law is really going to go to Shandong with them?" ”

Sun Erniang heard Zhang Qing's words, raised her eyebrows, glared at Zhang Qing and said: "Shi Dalang is so righteous, and he didn't force us, is it possible that you want to be that repeated villain?" ”

Zhang Qing said with a smile: "I'm just afraid that they will make a big fuss and attract the imperial court to encircle and suppress." Since the second sister-in-law has already made up her mind, then we will go with Shi Dalang, that is, when I die, I will die in front of you. ”

When Sun Erniang heard Zhang Qing say this, she turned her anger into joy, glanced at her husband, and said, "Why are you saying such unlucky words." Although we are not short of money to use here, those officials come here every now and then, how can they be happy. If you follow Shi Dalang, you don't have to be afraid of those who are public, and you can follow them to kill corrupt officials and bullies when your hands are itchy, isn't it happy? ”

Zhang Qing had thought about abandoning this livelihood earlier and going to other places to live in peace, but Sun Erniang felt that it was difficult to be a good citizen in this world, and she was unwilling to leave her hometown to be oppressed by officials.

The two of them relied on gold and silver to deal with the officials of Mengzhou here, and it was difficult for them to turn back, so they could only continue to do that harmful thing here.

Now it seems that Sun Erniang is willing to abandon this black shop and go to Shandong, although she is not a good citizen, but she can atone for some of their past sins for Tianxingdao.

Although the road ahead is difficult and dangerous, he Zhang Qing is not a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death.

After making up his mind, Zhang Qing nodded and said, "Okay, the second sister-in-law will clean up and be soft." I'll ask the Fire family to see how many are willing to go with us. ”

Sun Erniang also has a spilled temperament, and she cleaned up the softness immediately.

Nothing to say for a night.

Early the next morning, Zhang Qing and Sun Erniang brought three Huo families who were willing to go together to the ridge.

The bulky family in the hotel was left to a few Huo families who were reluctant to leave for sale, Zhang Qing and Sun Erniang had been entrenched here for many years, and there were also some enemies.

As soon as the two left, the remaining Huo family could not gain a foothold here, so they could only find another livelihood.

Zhang Qing is not afraid that they will continue to do that harmful thing here.

When the five of them went up to the waist of the ridge, they saw Shi Jin and Yang Chun with a few people.

Shi Jin is also very happy about Zhang Qing and Sun Erniang's joining, no matter where they occupy the mountain as kings, the hotel is indispensable to be the eyes and ears of the hotel and recruit heroes from all over the world.

Zhang Qing and his wife are familiar with hotel affairs and the affairs of the rivers and lakes, and both of them have martial arts, which is enough to suppress ordinary men in the rivers and lakes, so as not to weaken the name of Liangshan.

Several people were also temperamental people, and after a little greeting, they had breakfast on the ridge, and the group continued to march eastward.

Along the way, everyone walked in the hinterland of the Central Plains, and there were no fellow rivers and lakes along the way to occupy the mountains as kings, and they all took a detour when they encountered the state capital, and only when they encountered the tax card did they rampage.

After walking for more than 20 days, I saw that there was no fight in Jeju.

After crossing the Yellow River, Shi Jin sent a few capable minions to Lijiadaokou to contact Zhu Wu and Chen Da.

Before entering the territory of Jeju, everyone got the news that Yangsan was not settled.

Chen Da had already taken more than a dozen minions to hold Liangshan to prevent other fellow Jianghu from taking the lead.

Zhu Wu built a hotel at the Lijia Road crossing, and at the same time bought grain and grass supplies.

Shi Jin is not the first to take a fancy to Liangshan's location.

Shuibo, with its complex terrain, has always been a place for strongmen and bandits.

When Dou Jiande raised troops in the Tang Dynasty, he also occupied the reedy Gaojibo.

In the Song Dynasty, although Liangshan Shuibo did not have an uprising team, it was also a continuous robber.

Many fishermen became robbers when they entered the water, killing people and robbing money, which gave all officials in Shandong a headache.

A few years ago, when Pu Zongmeng was the governor of Yunzhou, he put ten fishermen on the edge of the water to protect them, and they entered the berth together, and they had to go out of the berth at night, otherwise they would be punished as robbers. Even if it is a petty thief, cut the tendons.

Under the cruel punishment of Pu Zongmeng, Liang Shanshui Bo was deprived of robbers.

However, Pu Zongmeng was also impeached by the imperial history for being cruel to politics and dismissed from his official position, so the successor officials did not dare to use such a harsh criminal law, so Liangshan was full of thieves.

The year before last, Ren Liang mentioned the Xing Prison in Shandong, and took the five families as a guarantee, and engraved a number on the ship, and without a number, you could not enter the water. The place at the junction of the state and county is all divided by stone tablets, but there is a theft, so the officials in charge are urged to arrest it, and there are no robbers in Liangshan Shuibo.

Ren Liang also made outstanding achievements in Shandong, and was added to the Cabinet of Secretaries and transferred to Shaanxi as deputy envoy.

The new Shandong Xingjiao has no prestige, and the corrupt officials in various states only want to fill their pockets, and when they encounter theft, they pass the buck to each other, so there are robbers in Liangshan Shuibo again, but there are no people who have set up camp in Liangshan.

After Zhu Wu came to Shandong to inquire about the situation of Liangshan Shuibo, he felt that Shi Jin was quite lucky.

There are still three or five miles away from the Li family crossing, and I saw Zhu Wu and Chen Da coming on horseback.

After a dozen zhang separation, Chen Da shouted at the top of his voice: "My brother is finally here and wants to kill me." ”

Shi Jin saw the two of them coming to greet him, and he also stepped forward.

More than a foot apart, the three of them reined in their horses.

Shi Jin hugged his fists and smiled: "After a long time, how are the two brothers?" ”

Before Zhu Wu could speak, Chen Da shouted: "I also eat and sleep, but I can't eat and drink, and I'm suffocating." ”

Shi Jin smiled: "It's hard to be a brother, let's have a good meal tonight." ”

"Okay."

As soon as Shi Jin's words fell, Chen Da shouted.

Zhu Wu and Chen Da have been friends for a long time, so they naturally know that they have suffocated him for more than 20 days.

He was still a little worried that Chen Da would regret it, and he didn't want Chen Da to really drink a drop of alcohol, which showed Shi Jin's status in his heart.

Similarly, the people of Shaohua Mountain, who came from afar with Shi Jin, traveled for more than 20 days in a row, although they ate good wine and meat every day, and had money from time to time, but after walking for more than 20 days, everyone's patience was somewhat to the limit. Therefore, after Shi Jin sent someone to contact Zhu Wu, he asked Zhu Wu to prepare a large amount of wine and meat.

Yang Chun also brought Zhang Qing and Sun Erniang up.

Everyone saw the salute, exchanged pleasantries a little, and then came to the Li family road entrance together.

There are still seven or eight earthen houses in the distance, half of which are still under construction, and the few that have been built can be seen from the color of the earth on the walls and the thatched color of the roofs.

Shi Jin had already heard the minions who led the way talk about Zhu Wu's construction of a hotel at the Lijia Road crossing, but he didn't expect the progress to be so fast, and said a little unexpectedly: "Brother is so fast." ”

Zhu Wu explained: "The weather is getting colder, and everyone can't stay in tents for a long time, so the younger brother took it upon himself to buy adobe bricks and green bricks. In gold and silver lure. Bewildered, the people of Sixiang all brought the adobe bricks they were going to build houses in, and the Bobian Hotel only coped with the official errands, and more adobe bricks were transported to Liangshan. ”

Chen Da said with a smile: "More than ten houses have been built on the mountain, and after a while, you can move in." ”

Shi Jin heard that the progress on the mountain was faster, and said happily: "Good job, we will try to let all the brothers live in the house before the winter solstice." Money is not a problem, we robbed several temples and Taoist temples along the way, and there are more than 20,000 yuan in the cottage account, and your share is also recorded in the account. is gone, there are corrupt officials and gentry everywhere in the world, and there are tens of thousands of yuan. ”

Chen Da heard that Shi Jin actually led people to rob tens of thousands of yuan, and shouted: "Brother is amazing, I knew that those bald donkeys hid so much money, and we didn't rob the house, just rob them." ”

Zhu Wu shook his head and said: "Some incense temples and Taoist temples in Huazhou are in the city, how can we rob them." ”

Shi Jin said with a smile: "What Brother Zhu Wu said is that what we looted was only some temples and Taoist temples with low incense. If it is replaced by a place like Wuyue Temple and Daxiangguo Temple, I am afraid that there will be hundreds of thousands of rans to loot a place. ”

Chen Da was speechless: "Those bald donkeys don't use knives or guns, but they rob more than us." ”

Yang Chun said: "After our looting, I am afraid that the temples outside the city will have to be moved to the city, and it will be difficult to find this good fat sheep in the future." ”

Shi Jin also knew that they would rob them all the way, which would inevitably lead to the fall of temples outside the city, and said with a smile: "Without the temple, you can still rob those corrupt officials and inferior gentry, just for the way of heaven." ”

Chen Da said hatefully: "First kill a few dukes by Shuibo, you don't know, these days, those guys come to extort every now and then, and I don't know how much gold and silver they have defrauded." If it weren't for the fear of making a mistake, I would have cut off their heads one by one. ”

Shi Jin said with a smile: "Let them be happy first, and then we will take it back with the profits." ”

The group laughed and came to the water.

When the masons who built the house saw Zhu Wu and Chen Da bringing a group of people with knives and guns, they all looked at each other in fright, not knowing what to do.

In the past few days, they also found that a large number of bricks and wood had been transported, but Zhu Wu only said that there were three other hotels under construction by Shuibo, so some of the bricks and wood were transported.

Now that they see a large number of people coming in the fight, how do they not know that they have fallen into the robbers' den.

Today's wages don't need to be thought about, if these strongmen can let them go back, they should burn high incense.

Zhu Wu saw that all the masons stopped their hands, trembled, and said with a smile: "Don't be afraid, we are not robbers who rob houses. You just have to work, and your wages will still be settled once a day, and you will never be in arrears of your wages. ”

In order to attract nearby craftsmen, Zhu Wu entertained these craftsmen with good wine and meat every day, and the wages were also paid at the end of the day.

When the masons heard Zhu Wu say this, they were a little relieved.

If they are not strongmen, I am afraid no one will believe them. But looking at the people behind them, although they can't say that they are kind and kind, they are not fierce and evil, and they really don't seem to intend to embarrass them.

There were already three small boats parked at the water's edge, each with two minions.

The dozen or so minions brought by Zhu Wu and Chen Da were all people who grew up by the water, and it was no problem to get into the water and support the boat.

Zhu Wudao: "These days, the younger brother has also bought more than 50 large and small ships, but they are just afraid of being vigilant, and they are all hidden in the reeds. We first took one boat up the mountain, and the other two boats carried some children who could support the boat to sail the boat, and it didn't take much time to cross everyone. ”

Thinking of those appearances of being dukes, Chen Dawu gritted his teeth and said: "Those dog thieves are also shameless, they always come and go every day, they really treat us as fat sheep, and I don't know how much money we have cheated." If the master hits them again, he must take the principal back with interest, and reward them with another knife. ”

Shi Jin's mind is now on the mighty Liangshan Shui in front of him, and said with a smile: "After today, no one should dare to come to beg for death again." ”

Although he was eager to enter the berth immediately and see the situation of this Liangshan Shuibo, he also knew that half of the people who traveled a hundred miles were ninety, and if they all crossed over, when there were officers and soldiers to kill them, I was afraid that most of them would be killed.

He said to Zhu Wu again: "It's the first time I've seen such a mighty water pool, and I'm about to take a look at this water pool." You beckon some of your brothers who can hold the boat to come and steer the boat, and we'll be the last to get there. ”

"Okay."

Zhu Wu heard Shi Jin say this, and went to the back team to find a minions who could support the boat.
