Chapter 36 The Rules

"Brother, forgive me!"

"The villain just wanted to get some food and had no intention of harming the old man's life."

"Then I'm so angry myself, so how can I blame this villain?"

"The villain knows that my brother cares about those people, so he will pay his family some money later, and he will never let his reputation be damaged."

In the Juyi Hall, Li Gui and other leaders were sitting at the top. In the hall below, there were a row of guards standing on both sides. In the middle, a man was tied up and pushed to the ground, explaining with a playful smile.

After Li Gui raised the banner of justice for heaven, he set rules for the thieves in the village. He was only allowed to liquidate the gentry and was not allowed to oppress the common people.

But whoever is a bandit has never experienced such restraint?

It was okay at first. Li Gui liquidated many gentry and had plenty of money. He gave generous rewards to all the men who participated in the operation. After having money in his hands, the people in the village did not look down on the three melons and two dates in the poor man's pocket. .

But the money in the hands of the bandits comes and goes even faster. After just a few months, there are many people who have made all the money.

Either thrown in casinos or thrown on women, but not many are actually used at home.

Even if Li Gui helps them get married, there are still a lot of people who simply can't get back their indulgent hearts.

What if I don't have money?
Of course, we will continue to use bandit methods.

The gentry from the surrounding villages and towns moved their families into the county one after another. Those who did not have time to escape were killed by Li Gui. Now in the entire Yishui County, there is not a single rich farmer at all in the villages and towns below.

As a result, some ordinary farmers in the surrounding area were unlucky and were harassed by bandits from time to time.

Li Gui didn't know exactly how many people were doing these things secretly, but today this unlucky guy was caught by Li Gui, and he was set up as a typical example.

He didn't know that his outcome was already determined, and he was still chattering away with saliva on his face.

In the eyes of bandits, how big of a deal could this be?

He's just a bad old man, not an important person.

Brother Li Gui killed even those wealthy gentry without batting an eyelid. How could he care about the life of a small person?
Besides, he was one of the first people to follow Brother Li Gui in the village. He was also a member of the personal guard, and he was definitely Brother Li Gui's confidant.

As long as he honestly admits his mistake and lets Brother Li Gui give him a beating in public, the matter will be over.

The executioners are all my own brothers, so what are you afraid of?

In fact, there were many people who had the same view as this man, and even several village owners nearby had the same view, and they all expressed their sympathy.

"Brother, this guy doesn't listen to orders. It's really disgusting. I have to beat him dozens of times this time. It will also make others remember!"

"What Shiro said is true, but after all, this guy has some minor merits. We might as well let him redeem his merits and let him be the first to charge forward in the next battle."

"I asked someone to see the old man's body. There were no wounds on the body. This guy really didn't do anything. It was just the old man's murder. For the sake of his honest confession, I might as well confess and be lenient, with a small punishment but a big warning. Give him another chance."

Li Gui leaned on the armrest of the seat, holding his chin with his left hand and stepping on the chair with his right foot. He frowned and waved his hand to interrupt the intercession of others.

"It's just an old man who died. Why did a certain family care?"

"Just kill him, what else can he do?"

"How can a bandit not kill someone?"

The tied man in the hall immediately became very happy and shouted:

"What my brother said is true!"

"We have all become bandits, how can we not kill people?"

"Brother, please take off the rope from the villain, so that the villain can have a good time to drink to my brother!" "Haha..." Li Gui smiled coldly, put down his feet, leaned forward, and glared, "You still have to drink?" want to drink?"

"Lin Xiaoer, let me ask you, have you ever kept the rules of a certain family in mind?"

Seeing that the leader of the village was angry, Lin Xiaoer's expression changed, he fell to the ground in a hurry and answered honestly.

"Of course I remember."

"Since you remember, you should know that a certain family once said that if you want to rob, rob the rich, and don't cut the flesh off the poor!"

Lin Xiaoer was covered in cold sweat. Realizing that the situation was not good, he hurriedly kowtowed and begged for mercy.

"You know your mistake, I will never do it next time. Please forgive me, brother!"

"Oh, next time?" Li Gui stood up, dragged the long-handled ax beside the chair, and walked slowly down. The ax blade made of fine steel scratched the ground, making a piercing scream, which made Lin Xiao even more excited. Both liver and gallbladder are broken.

"Do you want another time?"

Li Gui raised his ax with one hand, pointed at Lin Xiaoer and shouted angrily:
"Whatever a certain family says is the rule!"

"If you don't follow the rules, you don't listen to a certain family!"

"What are you..." Li Gui thrust the end of the steel ax handle in front of Lin Xiaoer. The tip of the ax penetrated the ground for half a foot, and gravel flew everywhere, "You are looking down on a certain family!"

"Ah?" Lin Xiaoer was frightened, shook his head hurriedly, and explained: "Brother, please don't misunderstand me! Even if I give the villain ten courages, I won't dare to look down on my brother!"

"Then why don't you listen to a certain family?"

"How dare you disobey your brother?"

"Why don't you behave yourself?"

"Villain... villain..." Lin Xiaoer was speechless for a moment and didn't know what to say.

Is this bandit who follows the rules still called a bandit?
Isn't the purpose of becoming a bandit just to be free from control?
But how dare he say this?

Isn't that a clear sign of seeking death?
After hesitating for a while, he saw Li Gui raising the ax again. At the critical moment of life and death, an idea flashed in Lin Xiaoer's mind and he hurriedly expressed his loyalty.

"Brother, the villain is stupid and can't explain it clearly, but the villain's loyalty to his brother can be learned from the sun, and he will never dare to have any second thoughts!"

"From now on, I will remember what my brother says, and I will definitely abide by it without any discount!"

"The villain will do whatever my brother asks me to do. Even if I let the villain die, I will definitely be willing to do so!"

After shouting loudly, Lin Xiaoer lay down on the ground, waiting with fear for the judgment of Li Gui above him. He was afraid that the sharp ax would be chopped on his neck at the next moment, but he only heard Li Gui's voice and cut his head. Uploaded, it is difficult to distinguish between joy and anger.

"Hey! It sounds so nice! Are you willing to let you die?"

It sounded like Brother Li Gui's attitude had relaxed. Lin Xiaoer was overjoyed and hurriedly shouted:

"That's right, as long as the elder brother says a word, the younger brother will go up the mountain of swords and fall into the frying pan, and the younger brother will also have to go through the same journey!"

As soon as he said this, he felt his hair being grabbed by someone, and then his neck felt cold. He saw his back, and then Li Gui's murderous voice came into his ears.

"I don't need you to go up the knife mountain, nor do I need you to get out of the frying pan. I only need your head to warn the villagers and let them know what the rules are!"

Li Gui chopped off Lin Xiaoer's head with an ax and held it in his hand. He looked around and saw that everyone's expressions changed and they lowered their heads, not daring to look at him.

Li Gui waved his hand, threw the head to Huang Silang, and said coldly:
"Spread the heads throughout the village and tell them clearly that if they want to kill people, they can kill people and if they want to set fires, they can set fires. However, if anyone dares to break the rules of a certain family, I will chop off their heads!"
