A certain person is the Heavenly Killer Li Gui.

Chapter 164 Cut the grass without eradicating the roots, the spring breeze blows again

As soon as Fang Qiong said these words, everyone changed their colors.

Niu Wenzhong stopped quickly and said:
"shut up!"

"Hugh is talking nonsense!"

The heroes of Liangshan were furious, jumped up, pointed at Fang Qiong and shouted:
"That man, please speak clearly!"

"If you dare to slander me, Liangshan, we will not have a break with you!"

Fang Qiong curled his lips and turned his head away, but did not say anything. He made Luda and the other three popular zombie gods jump and start fighting.

Li Gui hurriedly shouted:

"Everyone, wait a minute!"

He also said to Niu Wenzhong:

"Since brothers want to go up the mountain, they can't be pretending to be polite to us."

"Since we are going to be brothers from now on, we have to speak frankly."

"No matter how ugly the words are, it's better to have a fight with each other than to keep it in your heart and cause a quarrel!"

After Niu Wenzhong listened, he carefully looked at the faces of the people around him and saw that they didn't seem to be hypocritical, so he said bluntly:
"Since the elder brother said so, then the younger brother will not hide it."

"In order to avoid the eyes and ears of the imperial court, I disguised myself as a caravan along the way and traded with the locals wherever I went."

"After arriving in Shandong, wherever I went, many people in villages and towns cursed Liangshan."

"Those people said that the bad things the Liangshan thieves did happened all around them. They have noses and eyes. It doesn't seem to be false."

"I've asked people to inquire about it, but it's just some furtive and trivial things!"

"What we heroes and heroes do is just business in the world, even killing people, so what?"

"There are many stupid people in this world, so brother, there is no need to take these things to heart."

After hearing this, the heroes burst into laughter. Wu Song smashed the table into pieces with a slap, and shouted with a red face:
"Someone must pretend to be from Liangshan!"

"I miss my Liangshan brothers. Without military orders, who would dare to go down the mountain randomly?"

"If something happens to only one or two villages and counties, then that's it. If it's not possible, some unscrupulous people will do it privately."

"But from what you said, it's clear that there are many in the surrounding counties and towns. It's definitely not something that just three or two people can do!"

Everyone also shouted:

"Not bad!"

"If I find out which thief dares to act in my name, Liangshan, I will skin his dog and kill his whole family!"

Seeing everyone's aura, Li Gui turned around and asked Zhu Gui:

"Brother Zhu Gui, you are responsible for the intelligence at the foot of the mountain. Have you heard about this?"

Zhu Gui heard Li Gui's unkind words and hurriedly knelt on the ground. He broke out in a cold sweat and apologized:

"Brother, it's all my fault. I arranged a lot of details in vain, but I didn't get any information. Please punish me!"

Li Gui ignored him and turned to ask Luda: "Master, have you heard about these things when you come back?"

Lu Zhishen touched his bald head, shook his head and said:
"When the Sa family members came back, they only rushed on their way, but they did not have any interactions with the people in various places, and they did not pay attention to these."

"Otherwise, if someone knew that someone dared to damage my reputation in Liangshan, I would have killed him long ago. How could I still be here today?"

Li Gui nodded slightly, glanced at him, and called Ma Ling, the new horse on the mountain, over.

"Brother Ma Ling, you have quick legs. Could you please go down the mountain and run around the surrounding villages and towns, hiding your identity to get some information. Especially the situation in the surrounding four counties, you must find out clearly."

Ma Lingchu went up the mountain and was about to perform meritorious deeds. When he heard this distribution, he immediately became energetic, clasped his fists and promised:
"Brother, don't worry. I'm going to walk around and get to the bottom of this matter." Ma Ling chanted a mantra, stepped on the two wind and fire wheels, and went down the mountain. He didn't even take a boat, and went directly on the water. .

Everyone continued to eat and drink on the mountain, but at this time everyone was anxious and had no intention of having fun. They just kept their heads down and drank. They only waited for Ma Ling to bring back the news, then went down the mountain to find someone to settle the score.

Seeing that the atmosphere was dull and depressing, Fang Qiong was worried that he had said the wrong thing and was restless. Even Niu Wenzhong and others who came with him were also worried.

Li Gui comforted him and said:

"Brothers, don't do this."

"Speaking of which, brothers and I would also like to thank you."

"If a few brothers hadn't woken up, I'm afraid we would still have been kept in the dark."

"The people on this mountain are all like-minded good guys. The important thing is to talk to each other face to face, whether it is good or bad, and say what they have to say."

"Even if you are angry and scold your mother, you have to scold her in front of her face. Anyone who scolds you behind your back is not a hero!"

"Come on, brothers, let's first thank brothers Niu Wenzhong and Fang Qiong."

Everyone hurriedly raised their wine bowls and apologized:
"The reason why we are angry is not at our brothers, but at the thieves who are pretending to be others at the foot of the mountain. These brothers are so generous, so please don't let your anger go unchecked."

Niu Wenzhong and others hurriedly picked up the wine bowls and retorted: "But I and a few others believed the rumors without investigating carefully, and wrongly blamed all my brothers. Please don't blame me."

Everyone drank down the wine in the bowl, looked at each other and laughed, feeling their hearts go away.

The horse's legs were really fast, but after about half an hour, he came back like a gust of wind.

"Brother, I went to the surrounding villages and counties, pretending to be a Taoist priest who was passing by, and asked the villagers around, and it turned out that many stupid people were scolding me in Liangshan."

"The surrounding four counties are slightly better. There are rumors in some villages, but not in others."

"I secretly went to the village where people were scolded and inquired carefully. There were few cases of murder and extortion, but mostly trivial matters, such as lost animals, widows stealing people, etc."

"After I secretly captured a few thugs and tortured them, I learned that nowadays in various villages, if something bad happens, those Li Zheng and Baozheng people will not catch the thieves, but will throw them all over my head in Liangshan, ruining my reputation in Liangshan. !”

"I made a special trip to the four surrounding counties, selected some rogues, and interrogated them. That's true."

"The gentry in the four surrounding counties have been completely killed. Except for the remaining big villagers, Li Zheng and Baozheng are just ordinary wealthy households. They are also afraid of Liangshan's methods, so few of them dare to slander Liangshan."

"It's just that in some villages, Li Zheng and Baozheng colluded with the government and took advantage of this opportunity to carry out land annexation. They took advantage of Liangshan's name and seized all the allocated land, and became a new powerful power again!"

"These people were afraid that we would go back again, so they poured all kinds of dirty water, whether it was there or not, onto Liangshan."

"And beyond these four counties, the gentry and powerful people outside are even more unscrupulous, slandering Liangshan, and even doing some things to harm the people, relying on Liangshan."

"Those ignorant people are ignorant and allowed to be manipulated by the village wise. Those landlords and elders believe whatever they say."

"Now my reputation in Liangshan is already notorious beyond the four counties!"

Hearing this, the heroes immediately exploded.

Li Gui slammed the wine bowl on the ground, stood up suddenly, and shouted:
"Cut the grass without eradicating the roots, and the spring breeze will blow again!"

"Sure enough, all those powerful gentry should be killed!"

"It's just that it's just over a year ago, and new powerful people have emerged again. Sure enough, the frequency of our going down the mountain is still too low. We have to go down from time to time to sweep up!"

"Brothers, let's take note of this banquet and follow me down the mountain to do justice for heaven."

"After we kill all those pests, let's drink again!"

Everyone agreed in a loud voice, stood up to capture the guy, then immediately lit up their horses and followed them down the mountain.
