Becoming a God Starting from a Water Monkey

Boom!

Lightning split the sky covered with dark clouds.

Rain was everywhere, and the big raindrops hit the water, splashing foam into the boat.

The Whale Gang put down the mahjong cards and copper coins in their hands, took out the raincoat from the waterproof compartment and put it on.

April is warm, but if you get wet in the rain, you will still shiver when the river wind blows.

"It's raining hard."

"It's a bit cold. Do you have any raincoats? Get me one."

"There are none on the boat. Go ask other boats?"

The shivering gang members stood up and looked around, their expressions became confused.

Ten feet away, it was white and unclear. The rain was dense like a curtain, and there were shattered foam everywhere, and occasionally lightning hit the water straight.

Standing on the boat, he didn't know the location of the other boats at all. Suddenly, a figure lifted the curtain and walked in.

The gang members were overjoyed and were about to borrow a straw raincoat, but their throats were stuck.

Something was wrong!

It wasn't another gang member.

The figure didn't row the boat, and there was only a piece of driftwood under his feet!

How could anyone stand on a piece of driftwood on the river in a rainstorm?

The gang members were shocked and kicked a strong man in the thigh.

"Stop playing cards, someone is coming!"

"Who is it?"

"The one we are waiting for!"

Everyone was shocked when they heard it, and walked out of the black tent wearing straw raincoats.

One of them took the oar and rowed the boat towards the figure. When they got closer, a thin man standing on the bow shouted.

"Is the person coming from the river port?"

The figure paused.

"How do you know who I am?"

Several gang members looked at each other and understood.

The thin man bowed and said, "Sir, the leader of a certain gang has been waiting for a long time. I wonder if you can do me the honor of meeting me. I will definitely treat you with good wine and food!"

"Who is your gang leader?"

"It's Liu!"

The thunder exploded, the rain curtain swayed gently, and the sound echoed loudly and clearly on the river.

Liu Jie jumped on the boat, the boat rose and fell, and it had arrived in front in a few flashes. He was surprised at the young age of the newcomer.

At this age, he was younger than his son Liu Wenyang!

Liu Jie's eyes condensed, and his mood was inexplicable.

Thinking of him wasting half his life, all his nine orifices were opened, and he managed tens of thousands of fishermen with the extreme realm of running horses, and it cost a lot of money. He couldn't get the position of ninth-rank patrol inspector, and he was still controlled by a small county magistrate.

However, someone was able to win an official position before he was twenty, which endangered him...

Why is it so!

I really want to kill all the dog officials in the world!

Liu Jie looked normal, and he extended his hand to bow: "I have been waiting for the Lord of the River and Lake Office for a long time, but I didn't expect that he is a young hero!"

"I came to Fengbu County to perform official duties. I don't know why Liu Gang Leader stopped me?"

Liu Jie pointed to the rain curtain: "It is raining heavily today. You are tired from the journey. You may as well move a little. I have prepared a banquet and am waiting for you to come."

As he spoke, a two-story pleasure boat sailed out from the rain curtain, and the glazed tiles were dazzling under the rain.

"Okay, okay."

Liang Qu smiled, not caring at all that he was suddenly stopped on the river, and stepped on the floating wood to get on the pleasure boat.

Liu Jie followed closely behind, secretly sighing at Liu Yi's accurate judgment. He was not afraid that the other party would arrive late, but was afraid that the other party would arrive early.

The broken wood sank and floated, and Liang Qu jumped on it.

He is in charge of tens of thousands of fishermen in a county, and his wealth is so huge that it can be seen from the pleasure boat alone.

The hull is made of mahogany and is beautifully carved. There are two small pavilions with tiled roofs and colorful gauze hanging around. There are even bonsai and mats, and the fragrance of flowers is fragrant.

There is a big table in the middle, with two people sitting on it.

On the left, Liu Yi, the second in command of the Whale Gang, is thin and dressed in white.

On the right, Zheng Tianfu, the third in command of the Whale Gang, has a thick frame and his palms are a circle larger than those of ordinary people, full of tendons.

There are also dozens of backbone gang members standing on both sides, with great prestige.

What a big battle!

How much silver does it cost to build such a pleasure boat, and how many craftsmen are sent? I wonder if Toad will accept it?

Liang Qu glanced around, his eyes dim.

What a young official!

The thoughts in Liu Yi and Zheng Tianfu's minds are the same as Liu Jie's.

They knew early in the morning that Heboso came from the imperial capital, and most of them were children of officials. Could it be that they were the ones in front of them?

Liu Yi frowned slightly. He thought that it was a big deal that the water monster attracted an official of the eighth or ninth rank this time, but he never thought that it was a child of an official.

It is not easy to fill the stomach of the children of officials, but now that things have come to this, no matter how difficult it is, we must face it head-on.

If the tentacles of Heboso are not sent back, the days of the Whale Gang in Fengbu County will not be easy in the future. We must not lose the big picture for the small!

Liu Yi and Zheng Tianfu lifted their skirts and stood up to salute.

"I, the humble Liu Yi, Zheng Tianfu, greet you, sir!"

Liang Qu seemed to have heard nothing and went to the window to enjoy the scenery.

Liu Yi and Zheng Tianfu, who were bowing on the side, felt that it was not right to put it down, and it was not right not to put it down. A burst of anger rose in their chests.

It was obviously their own territory, but they came up to take a show of power. It was really a great official power.

Liu Jie, who was following behind, said: "The beautiful scenery of Jianghuai and the wetlands is so fascinating that it is natural for you to be intoxicated by it. However, there is still a long time to come, so you might as well enjoy it while eating." Liang Qu seemed to have just come to his senses. He pulled a stool and sat down with a majestic posture. A maid came forward to pour tea, but Liang Qu waved her away. He rinsed his Doucai cup with tea and said. "Such a large pleasure boat must have plundered a lot of people's money, right?"

Liu Yi and Zheng Tianfu, who sat down immediately, froze.

"Your Excellency is joking..."

"Hey!" Liang Qu turned his palm, "No need to say more, let's speak frankly, don't be so nagging.

You think I don't know? That monster is what you hired someone to do, right? I've been doing it for many years, right?"

Everyone was shocked. They never expected that the other party would be exposed as soon as they arrived in Fengbu County!

The atmosphere suddenly became solemn, and many backbones couldn't help but hold the hilt of the knife, with a murderous intent.

Zheng Tianfu looked at Liu Jie and found that Liu Jie's face had sunk, and his hand reached to his waist.

They didn't want to kill the official, let alone make a big deal, but if they had to, they could do it!

"You can't hold your temper now?"

Liang Qu put his elbow on the table, lowered his palm, pinched the mouth of the Doucai cup with three fingers, and turned it in a circle, observing the lines on it, and said happily.

"Don't I know why you invited me here? Don't you know why I got on this ship?

Although I am not very old, I know more about officialdom than you. Tell me, how much do you plan to give me? I think it's appropriate. I'll go back and write a briefing and leave immediately."

It turned out to be a veteran!

The tense atmosphere eased again.

"Hahaha, good, good, it's true that heroes emerge from youth. Your Excellency is open-minded, Third Brother!"

Liu Jie laughed three times and waved his hand.

Zheng Tianfu on the side coughed twice, pulled out a stack of silver bills from his sleeve, and handed it over respectfully: "Three thousand taels of silver bills, Tongbao, can be exchanged at Tongshun Money House, I wonder if it can be used as your writing fee?"

"Three thousand taels?" Liang Qu sat up straight, "Is there a record? Can it be checked in your account book?"

Zheng Tianfu smiled: "Don't worry, my Excellency, we know this kind of thing."

Liang Qu took the silver bill in one hand, unfolded it in front of everyone, and observed it repeatedly.

After a while, he slapped the silver note back on the table and shook his head.

"Not enough!"

"Not enough?"

Liu Jie frowned.

Tens of thousands of fishermen are a lot, but the government will eat half of them, plus there are hundreds of people in the gang, all of whom need to eat, three thousand taels of silver notes are already bleeding.

"The gang has a lot of expenses, and there is really no extra money. If you don't give up, wait for a while, the Whale Gang can give another two thousand taels in early May!"

"Not enough."

Not enough?

Liu Jie gritted his teeth and simply pulled the other party onto a boat: "As long as you take care of me in the future, 20% of the income of the Whale Gang can belong to you!"

Water affairs are managed by water, and they are not at a loss if they can be taken care of by officials from the river and lake office.

Liang Qu still shook his head.

"This is not enough, that is not enough, you are too greedy, and our Whale Gang is not a bank!" A cold light flashed in Liu Yi's eyes.

Liu Jie raised his hand to stop his second brother: "I don't know how much you want, just tell me the number. If we can complete it, we will do our best!"

"What I want is actually very simple, but..."

Liang Qu spun three fingers lightly, and the Doucai Cuizhu Cup spun on the nanmu table, and the bottom of the cup turned and rolled faster and faster.

"Your heads!"
