Chapter 2: Murder and arson
"Hey!"
Li Liye raised his eyebrows and scolded:
"I don't know, you still have such ambition?"
He stretched out his finger and tapped it on Ghost Li's chest, and said with hatred:
"You kid, you don't know anything!"
"If you go down to the earth that day and get admitted to the public office, you naturally don't have to live under others."
"If you are willing to practice martial arts hard, and in the future, you will be able to join the old minister, maybe you can also win a wife."
"No matter how bad it is, as long as you are willing to endure hardships, I will send you to learn a trade, at least you can be a household."
"But you guy, you can only read and write, you can't endure hardships when you practice martial arts, you can't even bear to learn crafts, why can't you live under people for a long time?"
"What do you want to do?"
"Is it possible that you want to learn from that strong man?"
Li Gui raised his eyebrows, raised his chin, and said in all directions:
"Cutting the path is just child's play, it's not promising!"
"Have you ever heard of the second uncle, there is a saying that kills people and sets fires to be recruited?"
Li Liye was startled, and after looking his nephew up and down, he suddenly laughed.
"It's not that the second uncle looks down on you, just your small body, and you still want to rebel?"
"Do you know how many officials there are in this county, and which one can you beat?"
"That is the blue-eyed tiger Li Yun, a single knife, which one is not convinced?"
"It's you, it's your second uncle and I, who have practiced martial arts since childhood, and I think that there are few opponents in this Yishui County, so I don't dare to say a word of rebellion."
"You, it's better to rest early!"
Li Ghost is not angry, if he is a normal person, who would dare to believe that in this great Song Dynasty, rebellion can be so easy?
There was the Song Dynasty, and there were more than 400 rebellions, large and small, and the Northern and Southern Song Dynasty together had a history of only 319 years. In other words, on average, there is more than one rebellion every year.
And the Song Dynasty is also the most recruited in all dynasties.
The officials in the court are very knowledgeable about the economy, and when repeated encirclement and suppression fail, they will inevitably choose the most economical way to solve the problem once and for all.
In fact, they also know in their hearts that most of the rebels are forced by officials to rebel against the people, and they are desperate, so instead of wasting gold and silver to encircle and suppress, it is better to simply send a petty official away.
In the land of the Song Dynasty, it was quite difficult to completely overthrow the imperial court in one fell swoop.
Although the people live in hardship, most of them have a very strong sense of identity with the imperial court, and if they want to be a group of rebellious ministers and thieves, they really have to be forced to be desperate.
But if the purpose of the rebellion is to recruit peace, it will be much easier.
Why did so many former officers and generals finally descend to Liangshan, isn't it because Song Jiangkou said "just wait for the court to recruit peace, and sooner or later become an official"?
If Song Jiang changes his caliber and dares to say something "When we wait for a different day, we will build a country here, and all of them have the position of princes", what do you think of those official generals?
Even if you die, you have to fight hard with this kind of "rebellious ministers and thieves".
Li Ghost himself has no resistance to Zhao'an.
I think that Zhang Shicheng and Zhang Xianzhong were recruited at the beginning, but in the end they all rebelled.
For this kind of successful rebellion experience, of course, Li Gui also has to learn from it.
If you rebel and resist the attack of the imperial court, you can recruit An as a petty official.
When the strength and fame are accumulated, then find an excuse to turn against it again, and make the trouble bigger, as long as it can block the advance of the imperial court, and then recruit An, you can become a big official.
Historically, if you want to be a big official, you have to do great things.
No matter how big the matter is, you will decide how big an official you can be.
Back then, if Sun Monkey hadn't made a big fuss in the underworld and took the book of life and death, he would not have been recruited by the heavenly court to be Bi Ma Wen. If he hadn't beaten the Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals led by Li Jing, the Heavenly King of Tota, he would not be qualified to be a Monkey King. If it weren't for him making trouble in the Heavenly Palace, it would be impossible for him to become a Buddha who defeated him.
As for whether Ghost Li can be the emperor in the end, he still has to take one step at a time, and it is still uncertain.
Whether to be an emperor or not has never been decided by the emperor himself.
"Second uncle, the little nephew has made up his mind, and the second uncle will persuade him again."
Seeing that Ghost Li was resolute and not a joke, Li Liye panicked.
"Ahh
"This rebellion is not a joke, but it must not be foolish!"
"If it's because of the debt over there, don't worry, the second uncle still has some savings here, and it doesn't matter if I help you pay it off."
Ghost Li reached out and grabbed Li Liye's shoulder and pushed him out the door.
"Second uncle, you honest man don't want to get involved in the little nephew's affairs again, beware of the little nephew's rebellion in the future!"
"What do you call that? Your second uncle, how can I be, how can I ......" Li Liye changed color and was about to refute, but halfway through his words, his tongue knotted for some reason, and he couldn't say the hard words anyway.
"Second uncle, you have a family and a mouth, so you don't have to be involved by me. From today on, we have cut off contact, if I really have a day of recruitment in the future, and then try to repay the second uncle. ”
Li Liye is burly and has been practicing martial arts for a long time, but at this time, he is soft and soft, and he is easily pushed out of the door by Li Gui.
Ghost Li slammed the broken door shut, shaking the beams of the house and the straw fell, and then shouted loudly in the room:
"A certain copper coin of his own family, how to spend it, how to spend it, why come here to make noise?"
"Don't think that your surname is also Li, so you think that you are the same Li as a certain family!"
"Our family's affairs have nothing to do with you in the future, and you don't want to come to the door again!"
In the slums, the houses are already close, and Ghost Li's loud voice immediately attracted the curious attention of the neighbors.
Li Liye, who was outside the door, looked around and saw those three aunts and six women who were probing their brains in the streets and alleys, and immediately understood Li Gui's thoughts and knew that things were no longer possible, so he had to shake his head helplessly, and scolded in the same voice:
"I'm going to take you crazy bastard!"
"I have a few pounds and a few taels, and I don't pee and take pictures, and I have some unrealistic spring and autumn dreams all day long!"
"Aren't you afraid that one day you will commit a lawsuit, eat the yamen and condemn you, and cut off your bird's head?"
"You don't want to be controlled by me, is it possible that I am willing to take care of you?"
"In the future, you can do it yourself, Lao Tzu is too lazy to take care of your rammer!"
After scolding, he frowned, lowered his head and went worriedly.
Ghost Li, who was in the house, listened to the words of the second uncle outside the door who seemed to be scolding, but was actually still persuading, and sighed secretly in his heart.
If he wasn't a traveler, he wouldn't have to follow this second uncle who cared about him, and he wouldn't be short of food.
But here's the problem, if he wasn't a traveler, this Li Ghost himself wouldn't know how good the second uncle was to him, and sooner or later he would be hacked to death by Li Kui with an axe, and then take the meat to roast and eat.
He listened attentively, and when the sound of footsteps was gone, he pushed the door out again, looked around, and exclaimed in a wicked voice to the eyes that looked at him curiously:
"Look at the birds!"
The old and weak women and children around them suddenly scattered, not daring to provoke this fierce man.
Li Ghost looked around fiercely, and seeing that no one dared to peek at him anymore, he strode towards the city.
If it is getting late today, he has not eaten water and rice for a day, and his chest has long been attached to his back, and the top priority is to fill his stomach first, and then think about anything else.
Now that he was penniless and discredited, it was impossible for anyone to give him credit.
In the past, when he was short of money, he used to do some casual work, or help the rich and noble, and he could also earn a few pennies in rewards, and he would not starve to death.
If you're lucky, you can still have some leftovers, so you can beat your teeth or try your luck at the gambling house.
But now that he has changed his soul, he is impatient to continue to work and do business, let alone help others and be a dog?
After eliminating all inefficient means of making money, the only way he was left to make a fortune was robbery.
Anyway, sooner or later, it's going to be the opposite, so I just took this opportunity to make a name for myself.
In the world of Water Margin, the difference between the famous and the unknown is very big.
If it is famous, others will inevitably bow their heads when they encounter it, call themselves brothers, and take the initiative to send gold and silver to their hands, and even the position of the master of the cottage can be obtained at their fingertips.
But if it's just a miscellaneous fish, even if you come to the door to fight the autumn breeze, you will be looked down upon by others, and you will be sent away with three melons and two dates.
Wu Erlang is a hero who fights tigers, the head of the leopard is the head of the 800,000 forbidden army, and the flower monk is Lu Tishi, and then look at what Tota Heavenly King, what jade unicorn, all of them are well-known, what is his name Li Ghost?
It's better to be famous sooner!
