A certain person is the Heavenly Killer Li Gui.

Chapter 39
After some gentry were imprisoned by Ding Zhixian for "collaborating with bandits", these gentry finally realized that Ding Zhixian was serious.

This group of tough-looking guys withered immediately. While secretly scolding the remnant people of Dingzhi County for succeeding, they honestly paid the full amount of the "bandit-suppression money" they had been allocated.

As for how they connected in private and how they used the power of the court to "punish" Ding Enlu, an unruly and harmful thief, it is unknown.

Anyway, all the money for the third round of bandit suppression has been collected.

With sufficient financial support, Magistrate Ding no longer wasted time. While summoning craftsmen to forge weapons and bows, he also applied to the imperial court to send troops to suppress bandits.

The reason is that the rebel thief Li Gui captured Yushan Village, robbed everywhere, killed countless gentry, and seriously threatened this year's autumn grain tax.

It is expected that in order to ensure the safety of autumn grain, the state will definitely send elite soldiers and generals.

As long as it's not the useless snacks like Liang's inspection last time, it won't be difficult to pacify Yushan.

During these days, Dutou Li Yun led the government servants back and forth to arrange the work of the craftsmen. By the way, his hands were wet with oil and water in the materials and other aspects, and he was very busy.

On this day, Li Yun dragged his tired body from the Yamen office. As soon as he arrived home, he heard from his servants that there was a visitor, and he was drinking tea in the living room and waiting.

Li Yun hurriedly changed into casual clothes and went to the living room, where he saw a man sitting leisurely and drinking tea. He was clearly Zhu Fu, who had surrendered to the Yushan bandits. His face immediately changed color and he shouted:
"What a strong thief, he actually has the nerve to come see me!"

Zhu Fu stood up calmly and sang Fat Nai first, then smiled and said:

"Master, please don't get angry. We are all loyal people on Yushan Mountain. They are definitely not comparable to ordinary thieves. If others don't know it, doesn't Master know it?"

"I would also like to thank Master. If Master hadn't let me know, I wouldn't have known there was such a good place in Yishui County."

"In the future, when Mrs. Liu is finished, the young master of Yushan Village will definitely be recruited. By then, maybe my younger brother will be able to make a lot of money and be on an equal footing with the master!"

Li Yun's face was filled with excitement. After being stunned for a long time, he sighed and said:

"That's all, it's all my fault for being careless, and I can't blame you."

"It's just that your wishful thinking may be in vain. You have killed too much. The county magistrate has already asked the state for help, and a large army will come to suppress it soon."

"The ones coming this time won't be the same guys as Liang inspected last time, but strong veterans who have actually killed people on the battlefield."

"Thinking of the friendship between you and me, please listen to my brother's advice and come down to Yushan early and find a place to hide!"

Zhu Fu was startled and asked hurriedly: "Master, do you know who is coming, how many troops and horses he will lead, and when will he arrive?"

"I don't know." Li Yun just shook his head. He didn't know whether he really didn't know, or because he had a gap in his heart and refused to tell the truth.

Seeing Li Yun sitting down on the main seat, pouring himself tea and starting to drink tea without talking anymore, Zhu Fu calmed down, took this matter to heart, then shook his head and said:

"My brother is a descendant of the Heavenly Killing Star. He has unparalleled military power. He has the courage of the former overlord Wen Hou. He also has a high ambition and a far-sighted vision, which is beyond the reach of ordinary generals."

"Today's Yushan Village is not like Amen in the past. It has high walls and dense forests. There are thousands of powerful soldiers inside, and there is no shortage of food and armor. Even if tens of thousands of soldiers surround it for a year, they may not be able to break it."

"Besides, if there was trouble in the village, I would have fled in advance. It was so unloyal and so cold-hearted that I would no longer be able to see my friends in the world."

Li Yun saw that he admired Li Gui very much and couldn't help but sneered:

"That Li Gui is just a pawn crossing the river. Although the Liu family has benefited greatly from it, he does not know how to act appropriately. There is no way out at this time."

"Even if he can withstand the encirclement and suppression by the army, there will be no way for him to survive in Yishui County on the day of recruitment."

"He killed too many gentry. Even after the Liu family is done, they will be thrown out to appease the anger of each gentry."

Zhu Fu chuckled, and there seemed to be a bit of blood between his lips and teeth.

"Then we have to wait until there are still gentry alive..." Li Yun listened obediently, and suddenly realized that Zhu Fu's words were still unfinished. Thinking about it carefully, he couldn't help being frightened, stood up suddenly, and shouted with a pale face:
"You want to attack the county?"

This incident was so shocking that Li Yun was so frightened that he even dropped the teacup in his hand. Zhu Fu hurriedly reached out and took the teacup, put it back on the table, filled the tea cup again, and then said with a smile:
"Master, don't panic, I won't come to fight you for the time being."

"With the military strength of Shanzhai, it is now easy to capture the county seat. It can be said that it is effortless."

"It's just that my brother has no interest in defending the city. Now we can't occupy it after defeating it, let alone collect taxes. It's meaningless."

"According to my brother's original words, 'That bird city is surrounded by people and there is no money to repair it. What are you going to do in there? Are you looking for death?'"

"But Master also knows the true situation of this county. This city cannot be defended. Sooner or later it will be under the control of Yushan Village. It just depends on when my brother wants it."

"Master, let me think about it, if my brothers from the mountain village enter the city, how many of those gentry will survive?"

Li Yun felt cold sweat falling down, and his back was wet, sticky and extremely unpleasant.

Zhu Fu advised again:

"Master has been a master for many years and has always been a smart person. Don't you know that the cunning rabbit has three burrows?"

"Master and I have no grudges at all, and we are like little brothers. Why don't we go up the mountain together and sit on the top of the mountain?"

"My little brother has little virtue and little talent, so he is willing to give up his position to his elder brother and take the last position."

Li Yun shook his head hurriedly and kept shouting:
"useless!"

"It's absolutely impossible!"

"The capital of my Li family has been pure and clean for generations. It really cannot be soiled in my hands."

Zhu Fu sighed secretly in his heart and changed his words to persuade:

"The rules set by my brother are never to force others to do anything. If the brother doesn't want to go up the mountain, the younger brother certainly won't force it."

"Just to avoid collision when the city is destroyed in the future, Master might as well form a good relationship with me, Yushan, now so that we can meet each other in the future."

After Li Yun hesitated for a long time, Fang Chichi asked, "What does Chief Li Dazhai want me to do?"

Zhu Fu knew as soon as he saw it that Li Yun's heart was moved, and he comforted him immediately:

"Master, don't worry. My brother never imposes anything on others. He just wants to make it easier for him."

After Zhu Fu finished talking about the plan, Li Yun thought about it carefully for a long time and determined that in this plan, he did not need to show up at all. He was completely hiding behind the scenes and was not easy to be found out afterwards.

It can be said that as long as he is more careful when doing things, there will be no danger in any case, and even if he is pointed out, he can be pushed away.

After thinking about it, he finally nodded slowly and agreed.

But he also knew in his heart that once something like this was opened, sooner or later he would be dragged into the water.

However, the situation is not up to anyone. Yushan is huge and he has a family and a family, so he really can't afford to offend him.

Just like Zhu Fu, everyone knew that he was a bandit from Yushan, but he was just running the hotel with a new face outside the city. Everyone knew that he was spying on information in the city, but everyone pretended to be stupid. , no one dares to provoke him.

After the matter was settled, Li Yun gave up his thoughts and asked people to serve him wine and food. After entertaining Zhu Fu happily, he personally sent him out of the city.
