Please ask me to be the emperor

It turns out that before Chen Jindou, Li Jiyu and others met Zhang Shun, they were disciples of Ren Chen. However, because of their humble background and lack of strength, they were always looked down upon by Yuzhou hero Ren Chen.

Chen Jindou was depressed and unfair, and he kept it in mind all the time. Now that he has followed Zhang Shun in raising troops, he is considered prosperous, and he wants to return to his hometown to show off his power.

Zhang Shun knew what he was thinking, but when he recalled the topography of Dengfeng when he passed by it, he felt that this place was also dangerous. It would be a good idea to take the opportunity to do something to attract the attention of the court, so he agreed immediately.

The three of them found some clothes made of silk and wore them. They all dressed up neatly and went to visit Ren Chen in Yuzhou.

Liu Rushi was so thoughtful that he even brought out a pair of new boots prepared by the red lady for Zhang Shun to wear. After all, women are better at dressing up. After her matching, Zhang Shun looked more elegant.

The three of them packed up and entered the courtyard of Ren's mansion. Ren Chen almost didn't recognize the three of them.

It turns out that Chen Jindou and Li Jiyu were just ordinary members of Ren Chen's group of heroes, and they just came here to eat and drink. At that time, they were wearing linen clothes and coarse cloth, and they were wearing straw sandals. Their expressions were even more bitter, and they could only do things submissively. How can they be compared with today?

Traditional Chinese hemp products are generally made from four types: hemp, ramie, chrysanthemum and kudzu. Due to the thicker and harder fibers and the lack of modern finishing technology, they have always been a wrap for the lower class people.

By the Ming Dynasty, cotton cloth began to be widely used. Cotton products were softer and warmer, and gradually began to replace linen products.

It’s just that cotton fabrics are not wear-resistant and are more easily damaged. At that time, Chen Jindou, who had no food and clothing, and Li Ji, who had only a few acres of thin farmland, encountered difficulties in life. Most of the time, they had to make clothes of hemp to cover their bodies.

Zhang Shun's conditions at the beginning were better than those of Chen Jindou and Li Jiyu, but not much better. Ren Chen just saw that he had extraordinary bearing and that he was sent by Li Baihu, so he promoted him to the guest table. In fact, he also has a "courteous and virtuous corporal" mentality in his heart.

Now these three people are wearing rich clothes and boots, and their momentum is like a rainbow. Look at his rosy complexion and high spirits, which is exactly the magnanimity of someone who has lived for a long time. Compared with when Zhang Shun followed Qian Master and others to transport grain and passed through Yuzhou and stayed under the fence of Ren Mansion, the temperament of the three of them was completely different.

When Ren Chen saw Zhang Shun, Chen Jindou and Li Jiyu, he rubbed his eyes and recognized them.

He quickly ordered the servants on his left and right to put down their swords, went up to him with a smile and said, "I wonder why the magpies are chirping non-stop in this hot summer, so early in the morning, it turns out that an old friend is here."

Ren Chen welcomed Zhang Shun, Chen Jindou and Li Jiyu into the living room. He also ordered people to arrange Wukong, Jicheng and Ji Dan who followed Zhang Shun in the courtyard. He also sent people to call other heroes in the city to come and accompany the guests. , just then I was satisfied.

After the four people had settled down and settled down, Ren Chen apologized and said: "I have been in a remote place for a long time, and I never heard that the three of them wanted to come to my humble home, so I didn't prepare pigs, goats, wine, and wine to entertain you all in time, so I was very panicked. I have already sent people to slaughter and buy them, just wait a moment and everything will be arranged."

Zhang Shun laughed, just waved his hand and said: "It's okay, it's okay. Master Ren, there's no need to be polite. I'm waiting to come here. Firstly, I'm grateful for Master Ren's help for many years. Secondly, I haven't seen you for many years. I miss you a little, so come over and bother me."

How dare Ren Chen accept this? He just repeated: "Don't dare, don't dare!"

The four of them greeted each other politely, and soon several heroes came over and sat down together. Zhang Shun looked up and saw two acquaintances, Shen Jingbang and Zhang Ding, but he didn't recognize the other three.

Ren Chen quickly introduced to Zhang Shun: "These three heroes are Wang Sheng, Zhou Ruli and Ji Zhiying. Each of them has three to five hundred villagers and helpers under his command. Among them, the most powerful one is called Yu Dazhong. He only started fighting with others in the mines under his command." I had a dispute and went back to deal with it, so I didn't come to accompany you."

Hearing this, Zhang Shun, Chen Jindou and Li Jiyu looked at each other and smiled, thinking: So it's him? How dare you stroke the tiger's beard and attack the rebel Kangjiazhuang? This person is already dead, so you don’t have to wait!

Ren Chen had been showing off for a long time, but when he saw that Zhang Shun and others had normal expressions and no reaction, he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

Yu Dazhong, Shen Jingbang, Zhang Ding, Wang Sheng, Zhou Ruli, Ji Zhiying and others are all top-notch heroes he knows, and they all recognize Ren Chen's kindness. He deliberately used this to raise his own worth, but he never thought that Zhang Shun and others would completely ignore it.

This is really "ten years in Hexi and ten years in Hedong, don't bully young people into poverty." One can imagine the huge gap in Ren Chen's heart.

Not long after, the food and wine were ready, and Ren Chen hosted a banquet for Zhang Shun and others. After eating and drinking for a long time, everyone was a little drunk.

Shen Jingbang was the first to lose his patience and stood up with a glass of wine in his hand. He stumbled to Li Jiyu and said, "Brother, I respect you. I'll do it first. You can do whatever you want!"

After saying that, he drank the wine with a slurp. Li Jiyu had no choice but to do it in one gulp.

"Okay, good man!" Shen Jingbang said with a thumbs up, "Brother is now prosperous and has returned to his hometown in fine clothes. It's just that I'm still dawdling around now. I don't know what to do. Can you give me some advice?"

Li Jiyu smiled bitterly and thought to himself: Could it be that your eyes are not working well? Didn't you see those brothers in the yard? I've obviously become a thief, and you, a man who has killed a thousand people, still have to ask questions!

It's just that when Li Jiyu, Shen Jingbang, Zhang Ding and others fawned over the owner of the village, they were somewhat sympathetic. He had no choice but to politely refuse: "Brother, I am doing this business without capital. My brother has such a big family fortune, so why bother asking?"

"Who in the world dislikes having a lot of money?" Shen Jingbang laughed loudly when he heard this, "Businesses with capital have low profits, while trades without capital have huge profits. How can Brother Li not know the truth?"

When Li Jiyu heard this, he realized that Qianqing was going to join the gang. He quickly smiled enthusiastically and said: "This bowl of rice is a business on the tip of a knife, and it must not be delicious. If my brother wants to make it, I will tell my master later, and we can make money together when the time comes."

If these people can hang out with Yu Dazhong, they will know what kind of people they are. At best, he is called a hero; at worst, he is a mine boss, bully, and bandit.

As soon as they heard that Li Jiyu had connections, Zhang Ding and Wang Sheng immediately came over and asked Li Jiyu to take them with him.

Zhou Ruli recognized Chen Jindou over there, so he ran to Chen Jindou's side, leaving only Ren Chen and Ji Zhiying staring at each other.

Ren Chen had always been the leader of the crowd, but now he was being ignored. He couldn't help but secretly said: The world is in trouble!

It's just that he has always been arrogant, "I would rather be the head of a chicken than the queen of a cow." If you want him to ask Zhang Shun for help, it will be extremely difficult.

Seeing Ren Chen's ugly face, Ji Zhiying leaned over and whispered: "He is just a thief leader. As long as a piece of news is handed over to the government, he will definitely die without a complete body!"

"You're crazy!" Ren Chen scolded in a low voice after hearing this, "The dignified Yuzhou magistrate was driven away like a lost dog. How can we dare to be enemies with him? Aren't we afraid of dying without a burial place!"

"But, what this guy does is too ugly," Ji Zhiying quickly explained, "If we let him do what he does, within a few days, all the heroes who only follow the leader's lead may be gone!"
