Chapter 28

Li Gui naturally knew Zhu Fu's name, but although they were hanging out in Yishui County, the two had never known each other.

At that time, Li Gui was just a street gangster, a gangster with no name at all, and no friendship value.

And Zhu Fu, under the leadership of the blue-eyed tiger Li Yun, is already well-known in the city and has his own industry. How can he see someone like Li Gui?
But now the situation has changed, Li Gui has become the leader of the underworld, and has even killed corrupt officials and magistrates. His reputation is far beyond the reach of Zhu Fu today.

So as soon as the two met, Zhu Fu bowed his head and called him brother.

"My brother's name, I've heard about it for a long time. I just wish I had no chance to meet him. How lucky I am to see you today. I'm willing to follow Ji Wei and do something great!"

This is the first Liangshan hero to come to vote. Among the 72 Earth Fiends, he occupies the position of Ksitigarbha Star. Although he is ranked relatively low, he has a name and a surname, and is not an ordinary person.

Li Gui used to think that if he had known that killing people would bring him luck, he would have chopped up the rich man before killing the magistrate. He must have had more luck than the magistrate.

After all, this is the world of Water Margin, and the generals on Liangshan must be born with higher luck than ordinary people.

But now that he has already bowed to him, he wouldn't go out of his way to kill him. It would be good to take him as his younger brother.

If he occupies the throne of Liangshan in the future, these Tiangang and Disha will all be his brothers, so it would be better to establish some friendship first.

"Haha... I already know the name of Brother Zhu Fu. Now that he has come to the mountain, he will be his brother from now on."

Li Gui didn't show any tricks like a polite corporal. He waved his hand and asked Zhu Fu to get up.

"If you want to set up a card to collect taxes on the mountain, there is a shortage of people who can read and write. Brother Zhu Fu has opened a hotel, so he should be able to read accounts. How about becoming a tax collector in the village?"

Zhu Fu happily accepted the order. When it came to seating, he was ranked fourth. The two people in front were Huang Silang and Li Laoqi.

He didn't dare to be too picky about someone new to the mountain. He only wanted to achieve success as soon as possible. When he saw Li Gui ordering a banquet to welcome the new leader up the mountain, he stood up and clasped his fists and said:
"Brother, don't worry about the banquet. Before I went up the mountain, I found out that the state patrol has arrived in Yishui County. They are recruiting soldiers and training them strictly. In a few days, they will come up the mountain."

He gave a detailed report on the military training in the county, but he did not mention the person behind Li Gui.

The fewer people who know this kind of secret, the better. Making a fortune silently is the eternal truth.

Li Gui glanced sideways at Li Lao Qi. He had always been responsible for the intelligence in the village, but now that there was no news at all, Li Lao Qi could not escape the blame.

Li Laoqi was so frightened that he was covered in cold sweat. He quickly stood up and knelt down and begged for mercy, "Brother, this is really my fault. I will go down the mountain immediately to find out the details."

Zhu Fu hurriedly smoothed his cheeks and said, "Brother, don't blame me. This news has just been sent out, but what happened in the past few days cannot be blamed on my second brother."

Seeing that Li Laoqi's body was like chaff, Li Gui snorted coldly and let the matter go.

In fact, he had already anticipated the coming of the army to suppress the army, and had specifically given instructions to Li Laoqi. However, it was obvious that after unifying Yishui, Li Laoqi had slacked off. Otherwise, the detailed information would not have been known, but the army was recruiting troops. How could you not know about such a big move?
After all, it's just mud that can't hold up the wall!

If he hadn't been the first to follow, he would have been killed with an axe.

There aren't many people in the village who need it, so I'll make do with it.

Li Gui asked Zhu Fu in detail some more details, and he somewhat understood the situation of Liang's inspection.

Since they are recruiting troops, it means there is a shortage of manpower, and training is being stepped up, which means that the original soldiers are stragglers.

But for the officers and soldiers, Liang Inspection has an inherent advantage.

As long as you give him a period of time, it doesn't need to be too much. One or two months will be enough. When the time comes, he will lead 1000 men and horses to encircle and suppress him. He will have all the weapons and equipment. With the unfinished wall of Yushan Village and one or two hundred ordinary spearmen, it will be enough. Can't be stopped.Instead of sitting back and waiting for death, it is better to strike first and defeat the new recruits while they are first training.

Thinking of this, Li Gui said:

"Thanks to my brother for going up to the mountain to report the news. Otherwise, I'm afraid that a certain family would be kept in the dark. It's really a great service. I just need to trouble my brother and return to Yishui County again to find out the details of the military camp. Wait. Once everything is ready, I will send troops to wipe out this army."

"What are you talking about, brother? Since I have gone up the mountain, those officers and soldiers are also my enemies. Let me go back and find out."

After Zhu Fu finished speaking, he was about to go down the mountain. Li Gui hurriedly called him to stop him and asked someone to bring him a bag of gold and silver to take with him.

"Official customs dictate that wherever money is not needed for management, brothers just use it to spend it. If it is not enough, just ask someone to send a message to the mountain, and someone will send it to you again."

Zhu Fu himself was also a man of justice and wealth, so he was not polite to him. He immediately took the gold and silver and left. Only when he got down the mountain did he unpack his bag and take a look, and couldn't help but sigh:
"I have worked hard for more than ten years, but my income is less than half of what I am now. It really makes me speechless!"

"Brother Li Gui, if he is generous, he can give freely to others, which can be a hundred times better than the income of obedient people!"

At that moment, Zhu Fu's mind became stronger and he did not waver. He returned to the hotel all the way and bumped into the blue-eyed tiger Li Yun who was coming.

"Where did my brother go? I haven't seen him all day."

Zhu Fu was indeed a smiling tiger. He patted the gold and silver package on his back and said with a smile on his face: "I heard that a fat sheep was passing by nearby. I'm going to make some extra money."

Although Li Yun was the head of the capital, he didn't mean to be offended at all. He just glanced casually and turned away knowing that Zhu Fu had gained a lot.

Zhu Fu opened the hotel door and invited Li Yun in.

Li Yun saw the overturned tables and chairs in the store and the broken wine bottle on the ground, and asked in surprise:
"Could this be a thief?"

Zhu Fu smiled and said vaguely: "I don't see any missing items. They are probably some wild cats and dogs, misbehaving here. Master, don't pay attention. Just sit down and wait for me to get some drinks."

He went into the backyard, threw the package under the bed, cut some cooked food, drank two bottles of wine, and returned to the table.

After three or five cups, Zhu Fu asked tentatively:

"Master, after these two incidents of suppressing the stolen gold, I also know that it is not appropriate to live in white. I want to find a new life. Does my brother have a way?"

Li Yun didn't think there was anything wrong with this. Wasn't it because he was dragged down by the Li Gui case that he realized that the so-called Dutou family was actually just a fat sheep in the eyes of the nobles?

"If you are willing, you might as well come to me and be a yamen servant first. I won't charge you any money. You can look for opportunities in the future and then seek a higher position."

As a head catcher, that's all he could promise.

In the past, Zhu Fu might have taken a regular government official seriously, but now, he has decided not to take the right path and follow Li Gui to kill people and set fires, waiting for the day he is recruited.

He stretched out his hand to fill Li Yun's wine and asked softly: "Brother, do you know anything about Liang's inspection? If I join his army and become a corps commander, will I be promoted in the future?" Job?"

"Haha..." Li Yun smiled coldly, drank the wine in one gulp, and slammed the glass on the table, "Although I have never interacted with Inspector Liang, I know that this person is also a money-lover. of."

"If you have gold and silver, not to mention the captain of the corps, even the head of the department and the generals, he would dare to agree to you."

"It's just that you want to be rewarded for your meritorious service and get promoted, but it's very difficult for you to be a commoner!"
