Li Zongliang smiled, casually walked to the middle of the courtyard and stopped, turned his head to look at Zhang Tiemu and the others who were surrounded by him with an excited face, and said with a smile: "I don't use my hands, only one leg, otherwise you Second Master Wei will laugh at me for bullying you." ”

Wei Shuisheng stood on the edge of the courtyard with his hands behind his back, listened to Li Zongliang's words, shook his head with a smile, Li Erhuai clasped his hands in front of his chest, looked at Zhang Tiemu and shouted: "Fight hard!" If anyone is pustuple, go back and clean him up alone! ”

Li Xiaoqi stood beside Wei Shuisheng with bright eyes, waiting to see the excitement with an excited face, Li Zonggui leisurely clasped his hands, stood next to Li Xiaoyi, and raised his chin at Zhang Tiemu and others, with a hint of disdain: "Beat them like this, what's the use of big brother, I'll just go!" ”

While speaking, Zhang Tiemu stomped his feet violently, waved his fists, and shouted and rushed towards Li Zongliang, Li Zongliang put his hands behind his back, raised his feet, very light and casual, as if he was casually lifting his feet, and just kicked on the side of Zhang Tiemu's thighs, with force, Zhang Tiemu, who kicked straight away, was a dog gnawing mud and fell to the ground, his strength was not gone, and he slid forward a few steps, and more than a dozen people behind him rushed up with a swarm of bees, Li Zongliang kicked out one by one with one foot, and kicked out one by one in a circle, and kicked more than a dozen people to the ground in the blink of an eye. Falling into a piece in the courtyard, covering the sore spots, sighing and screaming, Li Zongliang dusted off his clothes and retreated to the side with a smile.

Li Xiaoqi clapped his hands desperately and cheered, Wei Shuisheng raised his hand and patted Li Xiaoyi's head: "This is nothing, they have just been stuck for a few days, and they don't have any rules, just with a brute force, they just rushed up in a swarm, looking for someone to fight." ”

Li Xiaoqi bent her eyes and nodded with a smile, looking at Zhang Tiemu who barely got up from the ground, sat on the ground with his head down, and spit out the soil in his mouth, she was in a good mood, she really didn't expect the eldest brother's skills to be so good, she knew this, she should have let the eldest brother beat them hard two days ago, this convinces people's hearts, especially like Zhang Tiemu, if you want him to serve, you have to beat him so that he can't find the north, and then give some sweetness, these fifteen people, no, fourteen, Sister Zhang doesn't count first, she naturally has someone to subdue, These fourteen croppers who want to be mountain bandits, if they don't clean them up, she and her brothers will not be able to live at ease in this mountain bandit.

Li Xiaoqi watched it for two more days, and breathed a sigh of relief, these people were trained by Li Erhuai for five or six days, and were beaten by Li Zongliang, and the next day Li Xiaoqi instigated Wei Shuisheng to beat him again with one to thirteen, Wei Shuisheng was much more ruthless than Li Zongliang, and Li Xiaoqi was so heartbroken that he lost a lot of herbs. Li Erhuai's well-defined drills and these two fights made Zhang Tiemu's gang of mountain bandits, and then look at Li Shiliang and the four of them, their eyes were from the bottom up, and they were convinced in fear, and they were half subdued.

Li Xiaoqi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and turned her attention to those mansion copies, but there were only a few copies of the mansion in her hand, and those things in the Taiping Mansion were not brought out except silver, Li Xiaoqi thought about it for most of the day, ate at night, crowded between Li Zongliang and Wei Shuisheng, roasted the fire, and talked about Qian Wenxuan, the former governor of Zhengcheng, that is, the matter of Qian Wenxuan's evacuation.

"What do you want to do?" Wei Shuisheng turned his head to look at Li Xiaoqi and asked, Li Xiaoqi didn't answer his words, and counted the account with his fingers: "Big brother, our big mule, plus the car, sold a total of eighty-three taels of silver, that day to buy medicine, food, oil and salt, and two cars for Shikan's legs, that day, I went to fifteen or sixteen taels of silver, and Brother Erhuai bought those saws or something, and went to more than two taels of silver, and now we only have more than sixty taels of silver left, and the grain we bought last time is not much more than today, at most the day after tomorrow, I have to go into the city to buy food, and I have calculated that we twenty of us will have to eat at least four hundred dollars a day, and one or two taels of silver for two days. ”

Li Zongliang smiled and was about to speak, when Li Xiaoqi patted his arm: "You listen to me first." It stands to reason that these sixty taels of silver, just eating grain, are enough to eat for three or four months, but big brother, look at it, those poor mountain bandits, no clothes and no shoes, just forget about shoes, wear straw sandals, but what about clothes? It's already the wax moon, and if you don't add clothes, you won't be able to hold it out of the fire, and there are bedding, you have to add some, you can't always rely on people to keep warm, right? I calculated, just according to a set of cotton pants and cotton jackets for one person, not much to say, three catties of cotton count, cotton alone, one person will get more than two hundred dollars, two people have a set of bedding, no matter how cheap, cotton alone, it will cost fourteen or fifteen taels of silver. ”

"Three catties of cotton for one person is not enough! are all big men, and three catties of cotton are only a thin cotton jacket, how can this be enough for a cotton clothes? Inadequate! Li Erhuai interrupted Li Xiaoyi's words and corrected, Li Xiaoqi sighed, spread his hands and said: "Brother Erhuai, don't be so particular, let's make up for it first, that's it, plus the cloth, this item, you have to remove nearly thirty taels of silver, this matter, you can't delay, you have to go to Zhengcheng to buy it back, there are only thirty taels of silver left, it's full, that is, eat for two months, you can't even get through the winter, and you have to have no accident, if something happens, this silver will be gone in the blink of an eye." ”

Li Zongliang frowned, seeing that Li Xiaoqi didn't speak, Wei Shuisheng looked at Li Xiaoqi and said with a smile: "If Xiaoqi has any plans, just say it directly, my eldest brother and I will listen." ”

Li Xiaoqi looked at Wei Shuisheng, then turned his head to look at Li Zongliang, and muttered in a low voice: "I just settle the score, and I didn't think about anything, really, okay, it was Brother Shui Sheng who asked me to say it, big brother, don't blame me!" ”

"Say it." Li Zongliang said a little helplessly, Li Xiaoqi turned around and touched the scroll from the bed, flipped through it, found the copy that said Qian Wenxuan's withdrawal, handed it to Li Zongliang, and pointed to Qian Wenxuan's name and said: "This person, I inquired with Brother Guizi that day, nicknamed Qian Huzi, in Zhengcheng in the past few years, good things have not been done at all, net money, Zhengcheng's land has been scraped by him three feet, this time because of the unfavorable Qingye, was withdrawn, the new Zhizhou will arrive in half a month, as soon as the new Zhizhou comes, he has to leave this Zhengcheng, or go back to his hometown, Either go to Taiping Mansion to find a way to make a comeback, I inquired with Brother Guizi, his hometown is from Xinyang. ”

"Little guy wants to hit him?" Wei Shuisheng's eyebrows twisted into one place, and Li Xiaoqi nodded: "He is the most suitable, he is so capable, it is needless to say that he has silver, this silver is still ill-gotten gains, and it doesn't hurt the honesty, let's rob the greedy and help the poor, and take it rightly, this is one, two, his silver is greedy, and this trip is withdrawn from the messenger, that is, he is robbed, he must not dare to make a noise, that is, he is a corrupt official who has been removed, and Zhang Luo will not make a big deal, let's not rob more, just take a little, don't let him feel too distressed, like this, There won't be any big trouble. ”

"What Xiao Qi said is good, but how can we rob this silver? They are officials in the courtyard of the deep house! Li Erhuai glanced at Li Xiaoqi and said, Li Xiaoqi ignored him, only turned his head to look at Wei Shuisheng, Wei Shuisheng frowned, the stick in his hand was on fire for a while, and he was silent for a while, before he looked at Li Xiaoqi and said: "The road to Taiping Mansion and Xinyang is through this mountain, but we are a small road at the foot of the West Mountain, which is remote and difficult to walk. ”

"I have a way! It will definitely be done! Li Xiaoqi listened to Wei Shuisheng's words, smiled so much that his eyes bent into crescents, turned his head to look at Li Zongliang and asked expectantly, "What does the eldest brother mean?" ”

Li Zongliang looked at Wangwang's fire, was silent for a long time, turned his head to look at Li Xiaoyi, nodded, Li Xiaoqi excitedly held Li Zongliang with one hand, and Wei Shuisheng with the other, and said with a smile: "Since we have fallen grass, we have to look like we have fallen grass, and we have to make a profit!" That's what I thought••••••"

Early the next morning, Li Xiaoqi got up before dawn on a rare day, Wei Shuisheng pushed Li Xiaoqi with a wheelbarrow, Li Zonggui took Zhang Gouzi and Jiang Shuncai to follow, and the group rushed to Zhengcheng.

Zhang Gouzi and Jiang Shun are picked out by Li Xiaoqi coldly at these geniuses, Zhang Gouzi is only sixteen years old this year, the youngest one in the group of mountain bandits, the person has not yet grown, extremely thin, looks as if he is only thirteen or fourteen years old, his eyes are smart, clever and pleasing, his hands and feet are extremely sharp, he climbs trees quickly, and his biggest strength is to learn words, learn Li Erhuai, they speak Chizhou official dialect, and they seem to be born and raised in Chizhou, Li Xiaoqi admires his strength.

Jiang Shuncai is seventeen years old this year, contrary to Zhang Gouzi, he looks a little like Li Erhuai, he is solid, with thick eyebrows and small eyes, thick lips, and a simple face, but in his heart, he has a belly and a ghost idea, listens to people, and can hear seven tones in three minutes, among these fifteen people, he has the most eyes.

Went down the mountain and got on the official road, the sun warmly shone on the pedestrians who were hurrying, Li Xiaoqi sat in the car, and talked with Zhang Gouzi and Jiang Shuncai with a smile: "I heard that the place where we live now was originally the territory of Black Tiger Village?" ”

"Hmm." Jiang Shuncai glanced at Zhang Gouzi and replied cautiously, Li Xiaoqi squinted his eyes and smiled, and then asked: "I want to hear about this Black Tiger Village, I heard that the big leader of this Black Tiger Village is a hero, specializing in robbing the rich and helping the poor?" ”

Zhang Gouzi and Jiang Shuncai laughed, Jiang Shuncai looked at Zhang Gouzi, and when he spoke first, Zhang Gouzi grinned: "I haven't heard of who he has helped, the leader of Black Tiger Village only does big business, how can the poor have the money to rob him?" If you want to do big business, of course, you can only specialize in robbing the rich! ”
