A certain person is the Heavenly Killer Li Gui.

Chapter 37 Renyi Yushan Bandit

Li Gui set up a banner to uphold justice for heaven, but no one believed it at first, thinking it was just a trick used by bandits.

But when Li Gui went down to the mountain many times to do business, he only killed the gentry and spared the civilians. This reputation spread bit by bit.

Although the old farmer has never read a book, he is not a fool and is very cunning.

As long as he compliments the Yushan bandit a few words, it doesn't cost any money or effort, and he can make himself safer. Of course, he doesn't mind praising him vigorously.

The Taoist friends will die but the poor Taoists will die, the gentry will die but the poor will not die. They don't know how secretly they are having fun!

When the autumn harvest came, those thugs who used to show off their power to collect rent were nowhere to be seen. This made the farmers even more excited and secretly hid the harvested grain. Even if they waited for the masters to come back again, they would not be able to search them from their homes. to anything to eat.

A few gentry who did not believe in evil sent domestic slaves over with heavy bounties, but the farmers secretly reported them. After only two days, they were beheaded by the heroes who came down from the mountain.

Of course, those farmers would not dare to kill people, but they would have no burden in informing them.

As for the cottage, since the words of the leader of the village came out from the Juyi Hall, no one dared to risk losing their heads to bully the people.

They are all a group of poor people. Not only do they have little profit, but the risks are huge. No one is a fool and they cannot go against a murderer.

The leader of his own stronghold is not a kind person, he is extremely murderous. Whether he is leading the troops to fight or exterminating the gentry, he will be merciless and will definitely kill everyone.

As expected, he is worthy of being the God of Death. He has never considered any crime other than beheading. Once someone is in his hands, he will definitely die.

Nowadays, if someone in the village makes a mistake and cannot escape, they will take the initiative to surrender to Zhu Fu and others, for fear that they will fall into the hands of the village owner and lose their lives.

This was also done deliberately by Li Gui. He only took care of serious criminal cases, and just ignored ordinary cases and left them to a few other people to handle.

Most of the people in this world are afraid of power but not moral. He only wants to be feared but not respected.

However, things in the world are so weird. The more he is like this, the more others respect him.

Li Gui hates the gentry, but he also doesn't like the peasants who are like living on the wall.

In his opinion, these people who only live for the sake of living, who accept everything and don't even have the slightest sense of resistance, deserve whatever treatment they receive.

As for educating all the people and making them awaken, that is something that only heroes and lofty ideals would do, but he, a bandit, had no such awakening.

If you are poor, you will be alone, but if you are rich, you will have a group of wives and concubines, and help the world. Whoever is willing to do it can do it, but he will not do it anyway.

The reason why he gave the order not to bully the good was entirely because he felt that he was too low, a group of poor people who couldn't squeeze out any profit at all.

If a farmer becomes wealthy, do you think he will pay taxes after 70 years?

But in the eyes of everyone in the village, they don't think so.

Everyone thought that the leader of Dazhai was a hero who loved his people as his own son, but he was a bit arrogant.

In the past few months, Guanyu Shanzhai has been acting like a king, and he has truly deserved his reputation as a man of justice.

The name is correct.

Although the local farmers are still slightly alienated from the bandits, they no longer avoid them like snakes and scorpions. Even if they are bumped head-on on the country road, the farmers will have to praise them a few times and get out of the way with a smile. They will no longer shout I wanted to take it and take it to the Yamen in exchange for reward money.

Have all the bandits ever received such treatment?
At first I felt a little flattered, but gradually I got used to it.

They are not stupid, of course, they know why this change happened, and because of this, they are even more embarrassed to hurt the poor.

So a kind of virtuous cycle is created.The bandits did not harm the poor, the poor were polite to the bandits, the bandits were more and more willing to live in peace with the farmers, and the poor became more and more supportive of the bandits.

Under this virtuous cycle, it becomes easier to implement the rules established by Li Gui.

Nowadays, bandits walk in the countryside with their heads held high and their chests high, quite proud of Yushan.

The cohesion in the village is getting stronger day by day, and more and more people are coming to vote.

Most of these people were forced to become refugees in surrounding counties for various reasons. They had no choice but to hang out in the mountains and forests and become bandits, or they could open up a piece of land in the forests and cultivate it and become savages.

Now that all the bandits in the surrounding areas have been wiped out by Li Gui, they have nowhere to go, and they heard about the benevolence and righteousness of the Yushan bandits, so they came here to surrender.

Li Gui kept the strong men who were willing to become thieves and drove away the other honest men who still wanted to farm.

The land in the mountains and forests is barren, and the food they grow is only enough for their own rations, which is of no help to the village. They have to worry about their food, clothing, housing, and transportation safety.

Those who join the village and become thieves are his subordinates. The obedient people who do not enter the village are outsiders and should get out.

Whoever wants to take care of it can take care of it, he doesn’t care anyway!

Unexpectedly, this group of farmers was cunning. Not far behind the village, they cut down trees to build houses, reclaimed the land, and just settled there.

Due to Li Gui's previous ban, the people in the village did not dare to drive them away.

After Li Gui found out about this, he cursed a few words, ignored them and let them go.

After the autumn harvest, there were already thousands of people on Yushan Mountain. In addition to more than a thousand men, their current families also lived in the village.

In line with the idea that those with perseverance will have perseverance, Li Gui gave wives to all the bandits who had made meritorious deeds.

Although Yishui County has enjoyed a bumper harvest this year due to the Yushan Village and everyone lives and works in peace and contentment, there are still many poor farmers around Yishui County who cannot survive.

Although the name of the Yushan bandits is unpleasant, their reputation for benevolence and righteousness spreads far and wide. It is also a good thing for those poor people who cannot survive to marry their daughters to the Yushan bandits.

No matchmaker is needed. As long as a poor family takes their daughter to the village and leaves her at the customs, they can naturally return with a generous "dowry".It was said to the outside world that her daughter had been kidnapped by Yushan thieves, and the government could not cause trouble for her.

But everyone knows the truth, they just don't say it out loud.

As long as Yushan Village can find the mother-in-law, it doesn't care about these false reputations.

In order to ensure that this "marriage road" was smooth, Li Gui led people to conduct repeated sweeps near the official road in the county and wiped out all the jackals, tigers, leopards, poisonous insects and beasts. At the same time, he also repaired the road, bushes and the like. All were cleared and the mud pits were filled to make it easier for pedestrians to walk.

As for the large number of caravans attracted because of this, it was an unexpected surprise.

The customs has finally played its due role. It collects taxes at a fixed amount and gives a tax-paid flag, so you can walk freely in the county without worrying about being robbed.

If anyone dares not to give face to Yushan Village, Li Gui's big ax can be used to make a profit.

Although everything is on track, Yishui County is not a big place in the first place, and the commercial taxes that can be collected are still pitiful, and it is really unbearable to maintain the use of the cottage.

There was no other way, so Li Gui had no choice but to find another way to rob the rich and give to the poor.

The wealthy gentry who could be eliminated had already done justice to the cause of heaven. Those who fled into the county town had their homes confiscated and there was really nothing left to do.

After carefully considering the "Top [-] Rich List" produced by Zhu Fu for a long time, Li Gui's eyes finally fell on the names of the local bastards at the bottom of the list.
