Chapter 145: Spying on the secret leader

Shi Qian was shocked and turned pale. He just caught a glimpse of Zhang Zhengdao with a smile on his face. After turning his evil eyes, he smiled bitterly and said: "Brother, a good man, don't use this little brother for entertainment."

"Let him go." Zhang Zhengdao ordered.

Ruan Xiaoqi and Du Qian let go of Shi Qian's arms at the same time. The thin man was free and did not run away. He just rubbed his sore arms and asked: "My little brother can't see Mount Tai. Dare I ask the three of you?"

Brother, a good man, respects his surname, how can he recognize his younger brother?"

Zhang Zhengdao smiled and said: "You are young and have good skills, but you use them for stealing. Don't you think it is an insult to our ancestors?"

At this time, Qian was around 20 years old. He had learned a skill of stealing with his bare hands from others since he was a child. He wandered around the city all day, looking for some "fat sheep" to prey on, so as to make a living.

Hearing Zhang Zhengdao's words, Shi Qian said: "My little brother is thin and ugly. He once went to some shops to ask for work, and was often bullied. He couldn't stand the insults, so he had no choice but to do some useless things.

Make a living by buying and selling money."

Zhang Zhengdao smiled and said: "I have a job here, are you willing to do it?"

Shi Qian was stunned for a moment and asked, "I wonder what kind of job the heroic brother wants to do with his younger brother?"

Zhang Zhengdao said bluntly: "Have you ever heard of water swimming in Liangshan Mountain?"

Shi Qian replied: "I have heard from many merchants recently that there were three heroes who occupied the eight hundred miles of water and gathered hundreds of people."

"Could it be that these three brothers are heroes from Shuibo Liangshan?" Shi Qian narrowed his eyes, then immediately fell to the ground and shouted: "I am willing to join the gang."

Ruan Xiaoqi laughed and said: "You are a sneaky thief, do you deserve to join our gang in Liangshan?"

Shi Qian raised his head and looked at Zhang Zhengdao, saluted and said: "Although I steal to make a living, I never attack ordinary people, only those rich and unkind wealthy families."

"Please let me take you in." Shi Qian said honestly: "My family background is not good. I wander around all day with no whereabouts. Sometimes I can't get much money. It's common to be hungry."

After the man finished speaking, his eyes turned red. He wiped the corners of his eyes without tears and continued: "Although I have no ability and am not worthy of the attention of heroes, I sincerely want to join the gang and I ask my brother to show mercy and take him in."

Little brother."

Shi Qian fell to the ground again.

This is the first time that Zhang Zhengdao has enjoyed such a courtesy. Although he is just a low-class thief, it is still a good start.

Zhang Zhengdao said with a smile on his face: "Since you want to join the gang, I will give you a chance."

Shi Qian breathed quickly and asked quickly: "How does the elder brother want to test the younger brother?"

Zhang Zhengdao asked: "It's not really a test. Let me ask you, are there any heroes near Gaotangzhou who are good with guns and clubs?"

Shi Qian understood and asked, "Brother wants to recruit good men to join the mountain?"

"When my brother asks you, just tell the truth. Where does all this nonsense come from!" Ruan Xiaoqi glared and said angrily.

Shi Qian thought for a while, nodded and said: "There are some good guys on Hebei East Road, but I have only heard about them and have no chance to get to know them."

"Tell me and listen." Zhang Zhengdao waved his hand to signal Shi Qian to stand up and reply.

The lean man stood up, glanced at the fierce Ruan Xiaoqi, and said with a smile on his face: "What is your surname for this brother?"

Ruan Xiaoqi was really angry. Why was this little thief so verbose? He was just about to raise his hand to strike, but he heard Zhang Zhengdao laugh and say: "This is the commander of the Liangshan Talang Water Army, Ruan Xiaoqi."

Shi Qian was taken aback again and shouted: "Could it be that hero who is called 'Living Yama'?"

Ruan Xiaoqi also didn't expect that his reputation had spread as far as Gaotang City. He puffed up his chest and said, "It's your seventh master."

Shi Qian hurriedly greeted him and complimented him: "My little brother has heard from many people that there are three heroes on Liangshan Mountain. One is called 'Lidi Taisui' Ruan Xiaoer, the other is called 'Short-lived Erlang' Ruan Xiaowu, and the other is'

Living Yama, Ruan Xiaoqi, these three heroes are very skilled in the water."

"I didn't expect that I could see my brother today. I'm so lucky." After Shi Qian finished speaking, he turned his attention to Du Qian and asked, "Isn't this brother Ruan Xiaowu?"

Du Qian shook his head and said: "My name is Du Qian, and I am the leader who recently came up the mountain."

Shi Qian blinked, cupped his fists to greet Du Qian, and said, "My eyes are clumsy, please forgive me."

Du Qian smiled and said: "It seems that I am not as famous as Seventh Brother."

When Ruan Xiaoqi heard this, he looked pleased.

Shi Qian looked at Zhang Zhengdao again and asked respectfully: "Isn't my brother 'Li Di Tai Sui'?"

Ruan Xiaoqi scolded: "Don't ask questions, this is the owner of my cottage."

Shi Qian was shocked again, but this time he bowed to the end and shouted: "I have blind eyes and cannot recognize the true immortal. Please forgive me."

Zhang Zhengdao smiled and said: "Okay, don't bow anymore, I am Liang Shanbo advocating the way of heaven."

"You said earlier, who are these heroes on Hebei East Road who are good at wielding guns and sticks?" Zhang Zhengdao brought the topic back.

Shi Qian replied respectfully: "Reply to my brother, one of the heroes is called 'Jade Qilin' Lu Junyi, and he is from Daming Mansion."

"The second one is Cangzhou's 'Little Xuanfeng' Chai Daguan. I have heard of his name many times." Shi Qian thought for a while and said.

"We have heard of these two people you mentioned. Besides them, who else is there?" Zhang Zhengdao continued to ask.

Shi Qian smiled bitterly and said: "Brother, forgive me, but I am from a humble background. How can I know a good man!"

Zhang Zhengdao thought the same thing. He was just a thief hanging out in Gaotang City. How could he meet a famous hero in the world?

"Now, I, Liangshan, are recruiting heroes from all over the world. At the time when I am hiring, I happen to be short of a leader who can spy on secrets. Your skillful empty-handed technique is a good way to find out the news." Zhang Zhengdao said sternly: "You

If you join Liangshan, you will have to change your habit of stealing and travel around the country to find out the secrets of my stronghold."

Shi Qian said: "Brother, don't worry. From today on, I will never do such dirty things again."

Ruan Xiaoqi patted Shi Qian on the shoulder with such force that the thin man's back was half a head shorter.

"If my brother appreciates you, then you will be my loyal brother in the village. If you do that sneaky thing again and lose my reputation in Liangshan, I, Ruan Xiaoqi, will be the first to kill you before my brother opens his mouth."

Shi Qian hurriedly shouted: "Brother, don't worry, I will give up this skill from now on and will never do it again."

Du Qian said: "Congratulations to my brother for having another leader under his command."

Zhang Zhengdao accepted Shi Qian, but he was also a little happy in his heart. Although this lean man's methods were not very clever, he would be indispensable for spying on secrets and investigating the enemy's situation in the future.

Now that Shi Qian had been accepted, Zhang Zhengdao said bluntly: "This time, we are going to Cangzhou to visit the official Chai."
