Chapter 162 Cutting the grass does not remove the roots, the spring breeze blows and grows again
As soon as Fang Qiong's words came out, everyone changed color.
Niu Wenzhong hurriedly shouted:
"Shut up!"
"Hugh is talking nonsense!"
Liang Shan was furious, jumped up, pointed at Fang Qiong and shouted:
"Wu Na man, you make your words clear!"
"If you dare to slander me Liangshan, we won't break with you!"
Fang Qiong pursed his lips and turned his head away, but he didn't speak, and the popular three corpse gods of Luda and the others jumped violently, and they were about to come up and fight.
Ghost Li hurriedly drank:
"Everyone, slow down!"
and said to Niu Wenzhong:
"Since my brother is going up the mountain, he can't be polite to us."
"Since everyone wants to be brothers in the future, then you have to have something to say."
"No matter how ugly it is, it's a big deal that everyone fights, it's better than holding it in your heart and making a fuss!"
After Niu Wenzhong listened, he carefully looked at the faces of the people around him, and it didn't seem to be fake, so he said bluntly:
"Since the elder brother said so, the younger brother will not hide it."
"I waited for this journey, in order to avoid the eyes and ears of the imperial court, disguised as a caravan, and everywhere I went, I traded with the locals."
"After arriving in Shandong, everywhere I went, many people in villages and towns around the country scolded Liangshan angrily."
"Those people said conclusively, saying that what bad things the Liangshan thieves had done, they were all happening around them, and they had noses and eyes, and they didn't seem to be fake."
"I've also inquired about it, but it's just a trivial matter of stealing chickens and dogs!"
"I'm a hero, what we do is to buy and sell the rivers and lakes, and what can we do if we do all the things that kill people?"
"There are a lot of foolish people in this world, and my brother doesn't have to take these things to heart."
After hearing this, the group of heroes exploded, and Wu Song smashed the table with a slap, and shouted with a red face:
"Someone will pretend to be a person from Liangshan!"
"I miss my Liangshan brother, who dares to go down the mountain indiscriminately without a military order?"
"If there is something wrong in only one or two townships and counties, it will be done, and there will be unscrupulous people who will do it privately."
"But listening to what you said, it is clear that there are all the surrounding counties and townships, and it is definitely not something that can be done by three or two people!"
And they all shouted,
"Not bad!"
"If I knew which dog thief dared to act in the name of my Liangshan, I would skin his dog and kill his whole family!"
Seeing that everyone was aggressive, Ghost Li turned his head and asked Zhu Guidao:
"Brother Zhu Gui, you are in charge of the intelligence under the mountain, have you ever heard of this?"
Zhu Gui heard that Ghost Li's voice was not good, and hurriedly fell to the ground, cold sweat broke out, and apologized:
"Brother, it's all the younger brother's, he arranged a lot of detailed work in vain, but he never got any news, and asked his brother to surrender!"
Ghost Li ignored him, and turned his head to ask Luda: "Master, when you come back, have you heard of these things?" ”
Lu Zhishen touched his bare head, shook his head and said:
"When the Sprinkler family came back, they only cared about hurrying up, but they didn't have any dealings with the people in various places, and they didn't pay attention to these."
"Otherwise, if someone knew that someone dared to ruin my Liangshan reputation, he would have been killed a long time ago, and he would have been able to stay until today?"
Ghost Li bowed slightly, swept his gaze, and called Ma Ling, the newly ascended divine horse, over to him.
"Brother Ma Ling, you have fast legs, I bother you to go down the mountain, run around the surrounding villages and towns, hide your identity and listen to the information. Especially the situation in the surrounding four counties, it is important to find out clearly. ”
Ma Lingchu went up the mountain and was about to make meritorious service, when he heard this kind of distribution, his spirits immediately perked up, and he hugged his fists and promised:
"Brother, don't worry, the younger brother will go around here, and he will definitely inquire about this matter."
Ma Ling pinched the trick and recited the mantra, and went down the mountain on the second wheel of wind and fire, and did not take a boat, but passed directly on the water.
Everyone continued to eat and drink on the mountain, but at this time, everyone was anxious, where was there still the slightest thought of having fun, and they all just lowered their heads and drank there sullenly, just waiting for Ma Ling to bring back the news, and then went down the mountain to find someone to settle accounts.
Fang Qiong saw that the atmosphere was dull and depressing, worried that he had said the wrong thing, and he was restless on the side, even Niu Wenzhong and the others who came with him were also worried.
Ghost Li reassured:
"Brothers, don't do that."
"Speaking of which, my brothers and I still have to thank you."
"If it weren't for a few brothers to wake up, I'm afraid we would still be in the dark."
"On this mountain, they are all like-minded good men, and what they pay attention to is to face to face with gongs and drums, no matter good or bad, what to say."
"Even if you are angry and scold your mother, you have to scold in person, if anyone scolds behind your back, you are not a hero!"
"Come, brothers, let's thank Niu Wenzhong and Fang Qiong brothers first."
The crowd hurriedly raised their bowls and apologized:
"I'm angry, but not for the brothers, but for those impostor thieves under the mountain, a few brothers are generous, don't be angry."
Niu Wenzhong and the others hurriedly picked up the wine bowl and replied: "But it was me and a few others who didn't investigate it carefully, so they believed the rumors, and blamed the brothers, and the brothers don't blame them." ”
Everyone drank all the wine in the bowl, looked at each other and smiled, and their hearts were gone.
The horse's legs were indeed fast, but it was only about half an hour before it came back like a gust of wind.
"Brother, I went to the surrounding townships and counties for a walk, pretending to be a Taoist priest passing by, and followed the villagers to ask around, and sure enough, there were many foolish people scolding me Liangshan."
"The surrounding four counties are slightly better, and there are rumors in some townships, but there are not in others."
"I secretly went to the scolding village and asked carefully, and there were few murders and goods, but mostly all kinds of trivial things, such as the loss of livestock and the theft of widows...... And so on, you name it. ”
"I secretly caught a few splashes and tortured them and learned that now in the townships, if something bad happens, those who are righteous and upright will not catch thieves, and they will all be thrown on my Liangshan head, which will damage my Liangshan reputation!"
"I went to the surrounding four counties again, picked some splashes and interrogated them, and sure enough."
"The gentry of the four surrounding counties have been killed cleanly, except for the remaining big Zhuangzi, the current Lizheng and Baozheng are just ordinary rich families, and they are afraid of my Liangshan methods, but few dare to slander my Liangshan."
"It's just that in some villages, there are Lizheng and Baozheng colluding with the government, taking advantage of this opportunity to engage in land annexation, risking the name of Liangshan, seizing all the land that has been divided, and becoming a new powerful again!"
"These are afraid that we will go back, so they will splash all kinds of dirty water, whether there is it or not, on Liangshan."
"And out of these four counties, the gentry outside are even more unscrupulous, wantonly slandering my Liangshan, and even doing some cruel things to rely on my Liangshan."
"Those foolish people are ignorant and let the village sages manipulate them, and those landlords and clan elders will believe whatever they say."
"Now the name of my Liangshan is no longer smelly outside the four counties!"
Hearing this, the group of heroes immediately exploded.
Ghost Li "snapped" and threw the wine bowl to the ground, Huo Ran stood up and shouted:
"Chop the grass without removing the roots, the spring breeze blows and grows again!"
"Sure enough, those gentry and heroes should be killed!"
"It's just that it's only been a little more than a year, and new Haoqiang has emerged again, and sure enough, the frequency of our going down the mountain is still too low, and we have to go down the mountain often to sweep!"
"Brothers, let's write down this banquet first, and follow me down the mountain to do the way for the heavens."
"After we've killed those pests, let's drink again!"
Everyone agreed with a bang, got up and copied the guys, and immediately lit the military horses and went down the mountain with them.
