Ming Zuo

Chapter 107 Changes [Leader Plus Change]

The so-called Dongping Water Park is actually the famous Liangshan Water Park.

In the fifth year of Jinmingchang, the Yellow River broke through Yangwu, and diverted its flow in Liangshan Pond for nearly a hundred years, resulting in serious siltation, so that Jishui was submerged, Heze was flattened, the lake gradually dried up, and the area of ​​the pool was greatly reduced.

"History of Jin Shihuo Zhi" contains: "The Yellow River has moved its old course, and the water in Liangshan Park has receded, and the land is very wide."

In the Ming Dynasty, the entire water area evolved into four independent lakes.

There are three lakes in the south, namely Mata Lake, Nanwang Lake and Shushan Lake.

A hundred miles away is the largest Anshan Lake.

Huitong River crosses Anshan Lake and divides the lake into two.

The water in the east of the river gradually subsided in the future, and finally left a large lake, which is Dongping Lake.

However, Anshan Lake in Hexi completely disappeared, witnessing the vicissitudes of life.

The warm spring breeze came from the south, welcoming the fleet to Shouzhangji.

Zuo Fu and Zuo Gui accompanied Lu Jingyuan, looking at the environment curiously.

"Back then, Liangshan's hundred and eight generals were famous and omnipotent, but in the end they ended up in disarray. Now, the vast Liangshan River has lost its former prestige, but the rivers and lakes are still the same. .”

Lu Jingyuan's emotion reminded Zuo Gui of a sentence Zuo Menggeng once said.

"Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes. It doesn't matter whether there are such mountains and rivers."

Lu Jingyuan savored it and couldn't help sighing.

"Fourth Master has extraordinary insight, I admire him."

Zuo Gui hurriedly said: "My name is Lu Tang now, the old man must not forget."

Knowing that Lu Jingyuan was going to Dongping Shuibo to help Li Qingshan, Zuo Fu and Zuo Gui discussed with him, and they changed their names to Lu's juniors to accompany them.

Zuo Fu's pseudonym was Lu Jiang, and Zuo Gui's pseudonym was Lu Tang.

A few people chatted and laughed, and the boat docked.

Lu Jingyuan was rather surprised.

"It's weird, I told Li Tianwang a long time ago, the old man came today, why didn't anyone come?"

Not only did no one come, but it was obvious that the atmosphere in the entire Shou Zhang Ji was not quite right.

Shouzhangji, the closest to the water park in Shouzhang County, was originally an important distribution center for merchants, so it is bustling and prosperous.As far as a few people could see, the town was very quiet.Occasionally, passers-by walked in a hurry.

From far and near, some idlers looked at this side vigilantly, as if they regarded them as enemies.

"Could something have happened?"

Lu Tai saw that there was no way out, and said, "Go and ask, my son."

He ran towards an idle man, he didn't know what to say from a distance, he could clearly see the idle man showing joy, and followed Lu Tai quickly.

"Father, something has happened. Li Tianwang was attacked by Xiaoxiao yesterday and was seriously injured. I'm afraid the leader will be worse this time."

The expressions of Zuo Fu and the others changed suddenly, knowing that this matter was no small matter.

Li Qingshan is the leader, he was injured at this time, it can be said that the combat strength here is greatly damaged.

Lu Jingyuan asked the idle man, "Do you know why Li Tianwang was injured?"

The idle man led the way first, and explained the situation at the same time.

It turned out that someone lost the fishing boat in Shouzhangji yesterday, Li Qingshan led people to help search, and found the boat thief deep in the puddle.

When he was about to capture him, a few thieves suddenly jumped up and besieged Li Qingshan back and forth.I don't know who it was, stabbed Li Qingshan in the confusion, right in the stomach.

If it weren't for Li Qingshan's martial arts skills, he avoided the critical point, he might have died on the spot.

"Hey, what should I do?"

Lu Jingyuan was just restless, but Zuo Fu was sensitive to what was wrong.

"Have you caught the thief who hurt people?"

The idler was furious.

"No. Those thieves are very good at water. They jumped into the water after hurting the king of heaven. Our brothers searched for a day and a night, but they couldn't find them. If they were caught by us, they would have to tear these beasts to pieces. No way."

Zuo Fu looked at the idle man.

"I didn't ask my elder brother Gao's name."

The idle man said that his name is Jiang Wu, a local fisherman.

Zuo Fu asked again: "Brother fishes for a living all year round, the water quality should be excellent."

Jiang Wu smiled proudly.

"Needless to say, we soak in the water every day, and have been playing with water since the womb."

Zuo Fu casually said a few words of praise and fooled it.

Zuo Gui pulled him back a few steps, and asked in a low voice, "Is there something wrong?"

Zuo Fu peeped at no one around, lowered his voice and said: "Can you run away among a group of people who play with water all the year round, do you believe it?"

The water is not like on land, no matter how good the water is, it is impossible to hide forever underwater, there will always be times when it will show up.

These fishermen have been active in the water all year round, and they have long been familiar with the terrain and terrain.No matter how good the thieves' water skills are, it would be foolish to try to escape from their siege and search by diving.

Zuo Gui reacted immediately.

"You mean someone here..."

Zuo Fu hurriedly reminded: "Longtan and tiger's lair, be careful."

Several people followed Jiang Wu all the way, and finally came to a small courtyard.

This place is bustling with people of all kinds inside and out.The sound of shouting and killing sounded from time to time, quickly bringing up a scene.

Just by looking at these, one can feel the popularity of that Heavenly King Li Qingshan.

Jiang Wu squeezed in for a while, the crowd parted left and right, and several men walked quickly.

"Brother Lu, you have worked hard all the way."

Lu Jingyuan didn't have time to exchange pleasantries, so he asked, "Second Brother Li, how is the situation of the Heavenly King?"

The man took a careful look around and said in a low voice: "It's not convenient here, brother let me go in."

Immediately, he led a few people across the yard, and went into the house, leaving an inquiring look.

The house covered with yellow mud is gloomy and obstructs people's sight.The moment I entered the room, I couldn't help but see darkness, and then I gradually got used to it.

After entering the back room, the sunlight came in through the window, which made it a little better.

Lying on the kang was a strong man in his fifties, covered with a thick quilt, leaning his back against the wall, with a tired expression on his face. When he saw Lu Jingyuan walking in, he forced a smile on his face.

"Brother Lu is here, so I don't worry."

With tears in his eyes, Lu Jingyuan leaned over to the kang, grabbed the opponent's hand, and kept talking.

"Brother was so careless, why did he get hurt?"

That strong man is Li Qingshan.

His eyes swept over, and he looked at the people brought by Lu Jingyuan one by one, and couldn't help asking: "Nephew Lu Taixian is an old acquaintance, these two..."

Lu Jingyuan cheered up and told about Zuo Fu and Zuo Gui's fabricated identities.

Hearing that he was a junior of the Lu family, Li Qingshan didn't care, showing a desolate expression.

"This time the leading meeting, it seems that Guo Yunbiao is bound to win."

Lu Jingyuan hurriedly comforted: "Even if my brother is injured, but in the seven competitions, as long as we win four games, we will win."

Li Qingshan was not doing well yet, but the person who led them into the house was full of anger.

"Brother Lu probably doesn't know that the people from Boping Merchant are not coming."

Hearing this, Lu Jingyuan was shocked.

"Why is this? Without him, the purple-faced star king Shang Jianping, where can we gather people?"

Seeing that Zuo Fu and Zuo Gui were puzzled, Lu Tai introduced them in a low voice.

It turns out that the dispute over the water pool does not only involve the people and bandits living around the water pool.Many people who rely on the canal for their livelihood also participated in it.

Most of them are on Li Qingshan's side.

It was only because when Li Qingshan had the upper hand, he acted fairly, each family was free to come and go through the canal, and it was convenient to take goods.

When Guo Yunbiao occupied the water berth, as long as the merchant ships did not fly the official flag, they had to pay twenty taels of silver to cross the river.

When you need a tracker to drag it, the asking price is three times more expensive than Li Qingshan.

Comparing the two, it is clear at a glance who the big guy should choose.

It is also for this reason that Lu Jingyuan came all the way from Linqing to help him.

Most of the time, the Changfeng Escort also takes the canal.

What I earned was hard money, and I had to pay a lot of tolls, so I had to lose money.

To maintain the business, the only way is to help Li Qingshan win the leading meeting and prevent Guo Yunbiao from getting involved.

It is precisely because of the help of heroes from three mountains and five mountains that Li Qingshan was able to compete with Guo Yunbiao, a green forest tycoon, as a butcher.

Unexpectedly, on the eve of this year's leading meeting, Li Qingshan was injured, and another person who assisted Boping merchants would not come.

This is equivalent to losing two good players.

No wonder the Shouzhangji is clouded and everyone is in danger.

Once they lose the leading meeting this time, everyone will not be able to go fishing, and their income will be lost out of thin air. I am afraid that they will not be able to live on.

For people like Lu Jingyuan, it is impossible to do business along the canal line in the future.

He has always supported Li Qingshan.

If Guo Yunbiao is allowed to control the canal this time, the Changfeng Escort will never let the boats of the Changfeng Escort give more money.

But if you don't use the canal, the business of Changfeng Escort Bureau will definitely plummet.

For a while, the atmosphere in the earthen house was extremely suppressed.

"Brother, Guo Yunbiao sent someone here."

The sound of reports outside the house was like dark clouds adding to the haze, and everyone changed color.

"How dare you come here? I'm going to kill him."

Seeing that his brothers were violent, Li Qingshan quickly stopped.

"stop."

The man looked angry and very unwilling.

"Brother, that bastard Guo Yunbiao must have done it on purpose."

Even though Li Qingshan was injured, the might of the tiger still exists.

"When is it your turn to call the shots?"

The man huffed and huffed for a while, but finally he didn't dare to disobey him.Angrily, he ran to the side, sullen and angry.

Li Qingshan then said: "Help me up and put on my clothes."

Lu Jingyuan and the others quickly joined hands and carefully helped Li Qingshan off the kang.

When the quilt was lifted, Zuo Fu and Zuo Gui saw that Li Qingshan had a white cloth wrapped around his waist.But at this time, blood was profuse, and it was obvious that the injury was not serious.

In this state, it is obviously impossible to play.
