Me and countless me

But to Li Ke's disappointment, the people who contacted the major families in this famous mansion were turned back. The reason was very simple, that is, Liang Zhongshu had talked with them.

As for Li Ke...

At this time no one cares about him.

Not only that, Liang Zhongshu also specially summoned him once.

"Erlang, how do you think we should suppress the bandits?"

Li Ke was already prepared, so he spoke directly.

"We should start from Zhujiazhuang. It is close to Shandong and has many mountains and hills. It is very suitable for bandits to occupy the mountains and become kings. So I think it is most suitable to go there to suppress the bandits."

He recently investigated and found that although the excuses and people for attacking Zhujiazhuang in Water Margin are not very good, Zhujiazhuang is also famous for its anthropomorphism, bullying men and women, running rampant in the countryside, loan sharking, and human trafficking. and land annexation are also commonplace.

In the past few years, there were even cases of people believing in cults and performing human sacrifices in order to resurrect their loved ones.

So Li Ke felt that they had a right to death!

"Zhujiazhuang is strong, and it is indeed possible to rob the treasury, but Zhujiazhuang also has many channels, and the three villages are mutually insured, so there are many channels for selling the stolen goods. What are you going to do?"

Liang Zhongshu put the tea cup on the table, looked at Li Ke and asked, but this time there was no lovely wife and concubine, and no singing and dancing. Li Ke even saw Liang Zhongshu's mouth was blistered.

Of course he knew what was going on. The basement of his hotel was now filled to the brim with gold, silver and jewelry, so of course he knew what was going on.

But Liang Zhongshu couldn't. He was very angry and extremely irritable these days. He didn't even want to talk to anyone, but he still wanted to talk to other people. So again, without waiting for Li Ke to speak, he took out the map and pointed at several manors.

"Furthermore, I have met with the local gentry in the past few days. Some of them are quite rude and complain about His Majesty's Hua Shi Gang. They also bluntly said that the imperial decree interfered with their own family's property. Huh, what a joke! This Song Dynasty Which inch of land does not belong to the official family? Seriously... Huh!"

As soon as he said this, Li Ke was sure that his people were indeed being ignored because Liang Zhongshu went out to negotiate on his own. But to be honest, Liang Zhongshu was too impatient. Li Ke should have been asked to do this.

Although Liang Zhongshu's ability to read people is a bit strange, he himself is definitely not stupid, so Li Ke pretended to be careful and asked.

"Sir, what's the damage over there in the warehouse?"

Liang Zhongshu waved his hands, sighed helplessly, and made a desperate expression.

"Everything is clean, 300,000 shi of food was burned overnight, 34 million yuan of money was missing, 630,000 pieces of fine silk, and dozens of government offices were burned. If If you can't find the robbers, then our official positions will not be secure."

Damn it!

I just robbed you of five hundred thousand, okay? And it’s all your private property! How did so much money disappear?

Are you going to settle the account with me? !

Li Ke almost cursed, but Liang Zhongshu spoke immediately.

"But you don't have to worry. As long as you catch enough thieves, the court won't care. So don't take the lead this time. Let Yang Zhi go. He has more experience and wide connections. In addition, he will lead the army." A group of troops, you don’t have to worry about the rest, you just need to calm down and suppress the bandits. Even if you don’t recover them in the end, it won’t be a big deal as long as you are diligent enough.”

Li Ke couldn't help but remain silent, and then asked.

"So, where do you think, Lord Zhongshu, there are bandits and bandits?"

Liang Zhongshu smiled and said nothing, pointing at the map casually.

"It's your business to lead the troops to fight. If you work hard enough to attack Zhujiazhuang, and visit many virtuous villagers along the way, you will naturally be able to find clues among the merchants and common people."

Got it, I'm looking for the shopkeeper of your store.

Li Ke nodded, but his desire to help Liang Zhongshu clear the thorns on the road to rebellion became more and more serious!

After all, Liang Zhongshu had helped him!

But it is also obvious that Liang Taishu, who was negotiating with the local tycoons, was not satisfied with the results of the negotiations with these families.

Therefore, Li Ke quickly organized his troops and horses, and followed the orders of Yang Zhi, who was promoted rapidly. He watched him show off his power and command local generals, and used his various strict rules to punish and regulate those people. Soldiers who can't even afford food.

It goes without saying what the effect will be if a soldier with a daily salary of two cents does the work of a forbidden soldier with a daily salary of fifty cents!

Naturally, there were complaints, but after Yang Zhi used military law to execute several late soldiers and captains, he naturally did not dare to express his dissatisfaction in front of Yang Zhi.

It's just that more and more soldiers are coveting the treatment of Li Ke's soldiers, and many of them want to pretend to be Li Ke's soldiers and come here to make a living.

There was nothing that could be done about it. Yang Zhi asked them to practice every day, but the military pay remained the same as before, and they were not able to go out to work to earn money to support their families. Even a tough man couldn't hold on, so Li Ke just turned a blind eye during this period. I closed my eyes and allowed those soldiers who couldn't survive to muddle through. As long as it wasn't too much or the family was really in trouble, it didn't matter if they brought the food back.

As for wasting food, it is useless. After all, you have become a soldier, and you really don't want to live anymore if you waste food.

It's just that Li Ke is also a little worried. After all, his apparent income cannot support such a big deal! And because they can make a living, there are more and more people, and the momentum is getting bigger and bigger.

But fortunately, Liang Zhongshu didn't have much patience. Within a week of letting Yang Zhi take charge of the troops, he started to suppress the bandits.

So on the school field——

"Since I came to the throne as an official in the Song Dynasty, I have been broadcasting the divine grace! The blessings have blessed the world! But there are still lawless people running rampant in the countryside and plundering everywhere! They don't understand the truth that thunder, rain and dew are all the king's favor! They are domineering and occupying the mountains as kings! They are worms and scum. , Parasite, bastard!”

After a pause, Liang Zhongshu, who was extremely sad and angry in his heart, roared angrily at the wealthy gentry in the audience who looked at him indifferently.

"However, we officials of the Song Dynasty are not moths, scum, bastards, or parasites! We are the saviors of the common people! So these bandits and bandits come to steal! They come to deceive us who are loyal and courageous and dedicated to the people! "

After a pause, Liang Zhongshu continued to speak.

"The wind is blowing, the clouds are flying, and the warriors are marching in all directions, the bandits! They must be exterminated at any time! They must be exterminated! We can't do it without extermination!"

Liang Zhongshu, wearing a cloak, stood on the school ground, looking at the local rich gentry, shouting angrily, and couldn't help but wave his fists, making his robes shake constantly, looking extremely funny. !

Li Ke, who was fully clothed, couldn't help but speak in a low voice.

"My lord, manners, manners."

But Liang Zhongshu ignored Li Ke's meaning, but took a deep breath to adjust his emotions, and then when he said the second half of the sentence, he shouted with a hoarse voice, deep love and profound meaning!

"Think about it, everyone! You were sitting peacefully at home, hugging your concubine and playing chess, and suddenly you were robbed by bandits! So days without bandits are good days!"

As soon as these words came out, Li Ke suddenly felt a sense of déjà vu, so when Yang Zhi, who didn't even know his mother, stepped forward, the sense of déjà vu became even more serious.

But Liang Zhongshu’s true expression also made Li Ke realize one thing——

Liang Zhongshu's settlement of accounts and suppression of bandits this time is not his business at all, but the birthday card and the things in the warehouse are really his own!

"Set off!"

Yang Zhi didn't want nonsense, he wanted to avenge his shame now, and was very grateful to Liang Zhongshu for giving him this opportunity again. After all, he had failed twice, and Liang Zhongshu was still willing to give him a chance and let him lead the army to suppress the enemy. Damn, this is awesome!

This must be the enhanced version of General Xianghe’s power in the Song Dynasty!

He, Yang Zhi, will definitely be able to shine!

Yang Zhizhi thought proudly, while Li Ke touched the note from a businessman whose name was Mu who he visited last night. This note details the number of soldiers and horses of each landowner and gentry, as well as the fields and how much gold, silver, silk, food treasures are to be searched from these people, and whether there are officials in the family at home.

"This is simply arrogant and unreasonable."

Li Ke couldn't help but think this, because he was a black glove now. Although it was Yang Zhi who was in charge, he, Li Ke, naturally could not see the light. He was a tool for the scholar-bureaucrats of the Song Dynasty to exclude each other and exploit the people.

But it is different from other black gloves and white gloves.

He really wants to rebel.

He is really a rebel who wants to gather people to rebel and occupy the mountains and forests!

24k is a pure rebel!

Therefore, Li Ke felt no burden at all and sent Gongsun Sheng, Chen Liqing and others to investigate the situation.

As the troops and horses continued to leave the city, Li Ke also headed towards the route planned by Liang Zhongshu. Just after he left the city, dozens of military horses generously given by Liang Zhongshu quickly approached Li Ke's troops and quickly merged into them. .

Check out the 16-9 book bar to see the correct version!

"How's it going?"

Li Ke looked at Chen Liqing and asked, but Chen Liqing spoke with an indifferent expression.

"This Liang Zhongshu really knows how to find people, and the ones he finds are actually some scum that are not worthy of human beings! It's really like dog bites dog!"

Gongsun Sheng also nodded, but he was not as jealous as Chen Liqing, but he was also shocked by what he saw.

He never expected that after so many years of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, there would still be places where the customs of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms were preserved! Not to mention the fierce folk customs, cannibalism is even commonplace!

Some wealthy households even have storage of Cheng Yu’s dried meat hidden in their homes!

"Everything Madam said is true. These local tyrants and evil gentry don't regard people as human beings at all. As long as the general does not harm the people, he is doing justice for heaven!"

Gongsun Sheng handed over, and Li Ke took a deep breath. He thought he had seen the darkness of the Song Dynasty, but he did not expect that the darkness of the Song Dynasty was more dark than he thought.

After all, their family is self-employed workers and peasants. Although they are a little poorer, they are still much better off than the tenant farmers. If there weren't too many children in the family and the eldest brother got married early, he wouldn't even have to join the army.

He even said that if their family members were not all unlucky enough to get sick, their family would not be in ruins.

Moreover, the exploitation of the magistrates of Yanggu County is indeed not as ruthless as that of a great man like Liang Zhongshu. Although the magistrates of Yanggu County are not good people, they accept bribes openly.

But it hasn't come to this.

"I understand, mobilize the troops and suppress the bandits!"

Li Ke took a deep breath and suppressed the disgust in his heart. He knew that he was still helping the villain, but if he didn't do this, he wouldn't have enough capital to develop his own territory!

Is it like Liangshan, where even the people passing by are attacked, and it has no real industry and base of its own, so it can only rob?

With people like dragons and horses like rainbows, Li Ke took the lead and rushed into the home of the rich man they had chosen from the beginning to arrest him. Later, he was labeled as a bandit and bandit, and he was killed in the name of stubborn resistance.

However, Li Ke's blood pressure was high throughout the whole process, because as Ru Yunlong said, all three-year-old children here have heart and liver soup to replenish their bodies! And the materials used are consistent with his age!

Compared with these people, Liang Zhongshu looks more like a human being!

So Li Ke killed with peace of mind and no psychological pressure at all! However, because Li Ke's military salary was very sufficient, the soldiers accompanying the army were able not to harass other people, and even drank water by themselves.

But when Mr. Mu Zaifang, who was accompanying the army, hinted that Li Ke wanted to kill all the villagers here to prevent people here from leaking the news——

He accidentally chopped off his armor and beheaded with a sword from a bandit, so he died!

Liang Zhongshu was very sad when he received the news, but when he looked at the money, grain, grass, cloth and treasures that Li Ke searched for, the sadness at the corner of his mouth could not help but change.

But he still came to Li Ke with his hands behind his back and spoke in a doubtful tone.

"But, why do you only have 200 decapitations? It's not easy to show your merit. There should be thousands of gangsters there."

Of course it’s because there are only two hundred damn people!

Li Ke looked at Liang Zhongshu and knew that the thousands of gangsters he mentioned were actually ordinary people.

But Li Ke couldn't explain clearly. He just pointed at the mountains on the map and spoke to Liang Zhongshu.

"The gangsters all fled into the mountains."

Liang Zhongshu's eyes lit up, he coughed slightly, and then spoke.

"How many bandits are there? How many soldiers, horses, armor, food, grass and military supplies are there?"

Li Ke was silent for a while before speaking.

"There were five thousand soldiers, one thousand armors, two thousand bows and crossbows, two thousand horses, five hundred oxen, one thousand donkeys, twenty thousand arrows, five hundred craftsmen, two thousand firearms, and thirty gates. The gun. And it occupies five mountain ranges. It can disappear without a trace and is difficult to track! "

Liang Zhongshu nodded, knowing that Li Ke really knew his stuff, and then he spoke directly according to the rules.

"You want too many of my horses, and I have none."

Li Ke immediately raised his hands and asked.

"How many horses are there in Zhongshu?"

Liang Zhongshu showed an awkward yet polite smile.

"I really don't have a horse!"

Li Ke didn't believe it, but Liang Zhongshu still gave him the other things, but——

"You mean, because of the attacks by some small tribes of the Jin and Liao people, there are now more than 10,000 sets of various armors in the warehouse that need to be scrapped? There are also tens of thousands of weapons that have been lost? And 10,000 bows and crossbows need to be scrapped? Niu There were countless casualties among the sheep and donkeys, and even all the firearms and cannons were lost?"

After looking at the gossip that Zhang Yinglei got for him, Li Ke sat in the cottage and watched for a long time in front of Chen Liqing's husband. He still didn't see the news that there was a horse in the envelope, so he finally chose to believe Liang Zhongshu's words.

"Liang Zhongshu really has no horse!"
