Chapter 138 The Fifth Place

That night, a big feast was held in the Juyi Hall to celebrate.

Although the hall could not accommodate 800 people, Zhang Zhengdao ordered Ruan Xiaoer to let all the brothers in the village, as well as the family members, eat wine and meat no matter what.

Although Ruan Xiaoer felt a little jealous of the small amount of wine and meat in the warehouse, he still pretended to be heroic and ordered his wife in charge of the kitchen to bring out more wine, and then kill a few more of the fat sheep brought up the mountain.

.

Ruan Xiaoer's wife agreed, and together with a dozen women and their family members, they started working on the stove.

Before the banquet started, Zhang Zhengdao called Zhu Gui, the "Han Land Hulu" who was hurriedly up the mountain, to the Juyi Hall.

This was the second time Zhu Gui entered the core of the village, and he still felt a little uneasy. He had only joined the village for a short time, but he was highly appreciated by leader Ruan Xiaoer, who allowed him to take charge of the only Dongshan Hotel under the mountain.
At that time, holding the fifty taels of snowflake-patterned silver in his hand, Ruan Xiaoer once said: "This is the only savings in the village. Brother Zhu Gui, that hotel is Liangshan's eyes and ears at the foot of the mountain. If there is anything

If there is any trouble, it is all up to the brothers to go up the mountain to report the news."

Zhu Gui replied: "Thank you for your trust, brother. Zhu Gui will live up to the trust of the village and take good care of the Dongshan Hotel."

From that day on, Zhu Gui took five smart men carefully selected from the village to the Lijia Road entrance near the waterfront. He built more than ten houses and named them Dongshan Hotel. He spent the whole day building them carefully.

Reason.

This time, Ruan Xiaoqi's confidant He Cheng came to the Dongshan Hotel in person and called him up the mountain. Zhu Gui thought something big was going to happen in the village.

I hurriedly arranged the affairs of the store, followed He Cheng, got on the boat, lit the torch, and rushed to Liangshan Dazhai under the cover of night.

"Brother He Cheng, do you know that Chief Ruan asked me to go up the mountain in such a hurry, what big thing happened in the village?" Zhu Gui sat on the boat, the light of the torch shone on his face, looking a little worried about gain and loss.

Seeing that Zhu Gui seemed a little nervous, He Cheng laughed loudly and said bluntly: "The leader of the village is meeting you."

Zhu Gui was shocked and stood up suddenly. For a moment, he forgot that he was sitting on the boat. He was a little unsteady and almost fell into the water. He Cheng quickly helped him.

"Has the village master gone up the mountain?" Zhu Gui sat down again with a gloomy face and asked, "Is it because I failed to receive the village master at the Dongshan Hotel, so you want to punish me?"<

/p>

He Cheng shook his head and said: "I don't know about this, but the leader of the village was indeed alone when he went up the mountain, holding a small boat, and was parked in the water in the west. I bumped into him while patrolling."

Zhu Gui remained silent.

He Cheng comforted him and said: "I got along with the village leader for a while, and he seems to be a kind person."

Zhu Gui has owned a hotel and traveled in the world for many years. He has seen many different kinds of heroes. The kinder the person is, the more thoughtful he is. On the other hand, those who are bold and unrestrained will not be too restrained.

Section.

Xu is the owner of this village. Because his Dongshan Hotel failed to receive him, he was furious and wanted to punish him.

The more Zhu Gui thought about it, the more he realized that his analysis was reasonable. His Dongshan Hotel had only been opened for a few days, and its reputation had not yet spread. How could a hero in the world know that he could go to Liangshan from him?

The more Zhu Gui thought about it, the more frightened he became. He thought that he had just joined the stronghold not long ago and had not made any achievements yet, but he did not go up the mountain to welcome the stronghold owner. This would be a crime of disrespect according to the rules of the court.

With a sad face, Zhu Gui was uneasy.

Seeing him like this, He Cheng didn't know how to persuade him, so he just urged the rower to speed up and rush back to Liangshan Dazhai.

When the boat arrived at the Golden Beach, He Cheng led Zhu Gui, passed the first pass, the second pass, and went straight to the Juyi Hall.

After the guard guard made the announcement, Zhu Gui was invited in.

As soon as you enter the Juyi Hall, the braziers hanging around it reflect every detail in the hall. On the chair in the middle, there is a person sitting upright, wearing a bronze Taotie mask, which is particularly scary.

From the corner of his eyes, Zhu Gui glanced at the three men of the Ruan family and saw them sitting together on the side seats with smiles on their faces.

With a little peace of mind, Zhu Gui took two steps and came to the hall, cupped his fists and saluted: "Zhu Gui has met the leader of the village."

Then he turned around and greeted the three men of the Ruan family with fists in their hands.

Zhang Zhengdao carefully looked at this "Dry Land Hulu". This person is a veteran of Liangshan, but he has followed three village leaders successively. However, his ability is not good, and his ranking has dropped again and again. In the end, he has become a foil in the village, and his status is abnormal.

Embarrassing.

"Zhu Gui, the leader of the village called you up the mountain, but I have something good for you." Ruan Xiaoer was very satisfied with the hero he had personally selected. He was well-versed in everything he did and was a meticulous person who could stand alone.

After hearing this, Zhu Gui calmed down and waited quietly for the leader of the village to speak.

Zhang Zhengdao looked at the man in front of him and announced directly: "Brother Zhu Gui, after careful discussion with the three leaders, I will promote you to a top position starting from today."

Zhu Gui was stunned for a moment, his mind was a little slow and he didn't react.

"Brother Zhu Gui, the leader of the village wants you to sit on the fifth chair in the Juyi Hall." Ruan Xiaoqi shouted.

In Zhu Gui's heart, he was filled with surprises. He raised his head blankly, glanced at the leader of the village sitting on the main seat, and then turned to look at the smiling Ruan family's three heroes.

"This guy seems stupid!" Ruan Xiaowu grinned.

Only then did Zhu Gui come back to his senses, knelt on his right knee, clasped his fists with both hands, and shouted loudly: "Thank you so much, brother, village master. I will do my best to serve the village and die for my brother."

Zhang Zhengdao stood up and helped him up, laughing and saying: "Brother Zhu Gui's ability, Ruan Xiaoer, the second leader, told me one by one. We are a start-up in the cottage, and there are still many things that we cannot take care of. I hope Brother Zhu Gui will have a lot of success."

When you offer advice, don't hide it, we are all upright and good guys."

"I hope that all brothers can work together in the future to spread the reputation of Liangshan to the world." Zhang Zhengdao was full of high spirits and spoke loudly in the gathering hall.

Zhu Gui's heart was up and down, and he shouted loudly: "I am willing to hold the whip and fall the stirrup for my brother, and my liver and brain will be wiped out."

The three heroes of the Ruan family also stood up one after another, clasping their fists and shouting: "I am willing to hold the whip and fall the stirrup for my brother, and my liver and brain will be wiped out."

The four heroes stared at Zhang Zhengdao with bright eyes.

"Okay, with the help of all brothers, we, Liangshan, will develop and grow, and we can expect it soon." Zhang Zhengdao returned to the main seat and sat down, then pointed to the extra chair next to Ruan Xiaoqi and said: "Chief Zhu Gui, please sit down.

”

Zhu Gui saluted and thanked him again, and then moved his trembling legs to come to the three men of the Ruan family and bowed his hands in greeting one by one.

Ruan Xiaoqi impatiently pushed him to the chair next to him and sat down.

Zhang Zhengdao smiled and said: "Now, besides me, our village has four leaders. Although there are a few leaders, when my reputation in Liangshan spreads, I will attract heroes from all over the world to like me."

Zhu Gui quickly stood up and said: "Brother, my younger brother is in charge of the Dongshan Hotel. It is located at the intersection of Lijia Road. There are many merchants coming from the north and the south. We can use their mouths to spread the word about Liangshan's recruitment of heroes."

Zhang Zhengdao waved his hand for Zhu Gui to sit down, nodded and said: "Brother Zhu Gui is right, this is a good method."

"Of course, this is not something that can be done in one fell swoop. I have some ideas in my mind after accumulating them bit by bit. We will discuss them in detail tomorrow." Zhang Zhengdao saw a young man at the door looking around. It should be the size of the cottage.

Leaders, everyone is here.

"Come here, put the table on the table and call all the village leaders, big and small, into the Juyi Hall." Zhang Zhengdao shouted loudly: "I'll rest after getting drunk today!"
