Water Margin official

Chapter 152 Zhu Fuzhen Li Kui

That night, a banquet was held in Liangshan to celebrate the village's return to the mountain, and to celebrate the joining of the three new leaders, Ling Guang, Suo Xian, and Zhu Fu.

During the banquet, Zhang Zhengdao raised his wine bowl, looked at the leaders inside and outside the Juyi Hall, as well as the big and small leaders, and shouted loudly: "Now, there are twelve leaders in our Liangshan Dazhai, and one thousand, six hundred brothers, big and small."

I respect you all for this bowl."

"Brother!" Everyone also raised their wine bowls, stood up and shouted.

Everyone drank it all in one gulp, and some of the servants came forward to refill the wine.

"With this second bowl of wine, we, the Shanzhai brothers, are paying homage to Chai Daguan, who is far away in Cangzhou. If we had not received his support, our development in Liangshan would have been slow!" Zhang Zhengdao pointed the bowl towards the north.

Everyone also shouted: "Jing Chai, the official."

After finishing two bowls of wine, Zhang Zhengdao continued with great pride: "With the persistence of all brothers, Liangshan is what it is today. This third bowl, I respect all the brothers in the village."

Everyone also ate the third bowl of wine with them.

In the middle of the banquet, Zhu Gui took his younger brother Zhu Fu and came to talk to the village leader.

This "Smiling Tiger" Zhu Fu always smiles when he speaks, making people mistakenly think that he is a kind person, but in fact, this person is thoughtful and resourceful.

What's even more rare is that Zhu Fu values ​​​​love and justice. He worked hard to rescue Li Kui for his brother Zhu Gui's affairs, even if he ruined his family and harmed his master Li Yun, he did not hesitate to do so. This is sentimental.

In the end, Zhu Fu couldn't bear that Li Yun was implicated by him for no reason, so he tried his best to remedy the situation and persuaded him to go to Liangshan to join the gang. This was just right.

There is blood and family ties on one side, and loyalty between master and disciple on the other. Being able to achieve a happy ending in such a dilemma can be regarded as a little bit of courage.

Although Zhu Fu's martial arts skills were mediocre, Zhang Zhengdao admired him very much and said: "Brother is willing to give up his innocence and join me in Liangshan Dazhai. He is really a man who values ​​love and righteousness!"

"My little brother has no real skills. He can only run a wine shop in the countryside, which makes my brother laugh." Zhu Fu smiled widely and seemed not to feel restrained by the owner of the cottage.

Zhang Zhengdao had a bowl of wine with him and asked: "How are the preparations for the Xishan Hotel in Shouzhang County going?"

Zhu Fu replied: "Reporting to my brother, the hotel has been built and has ten thatched huts, which can accommodate twenty or thirty people."

"Okay, tomorrow you and I will go down the mountain together and visit your Xishan Hotel." Zhang Zhengdao said with a smile.

Zhu Fu was overjoyed and said quickly: "It's my honor for you to come to our Xishan Hotel for inspection."

Zhang Zhengdao was actually planning to take this opportunity to return home. Seeing that the man had misunderstood, he didn't say anything more. He just changed the subject and asked: "You two brothers are from Yizhou. Are there any good guys with good boxing and kicking skills there that you can recommend?"

Join the cottage?"

Zhu Fu thought for a moment and replied: "When I opened a wine shop in the west gate of the county, I met a big man. This man lived in Luzhang Village not far away from Yishui County. He was thick and dark, good at using two axes, and had excellent arm strength.

He is called "Black Whirlwind" Li Kui, and the villagers call him Li Tieniu."

"It's just that this man is not good at drinking. Whenever he is drunk, he will beat people randomly with his fists and feet. Most of the villagers are afraid of him." Zhu Fu said again.

Zhang Zhengdao asked: "Is this black guy still living in Lu Zhang Village?"

Zhu Fu recalled it and said: "A few days ago, I went to my younger brother's wine shop to have a drink, but I knew his temper and didn't dare to sell it to him, so I smashed two tables in the shop and made a fuss.

Not very pleasant."

Zhang Zhengdao smiled and said: "Since this black guy is quite good at boxing and kicking, why not ask him to join the gang? Just control him and don't let him drink."

Seeing this, Zhu Gui took the initiative to invite Ying and said, "I would like to go out and invite Li Kui to join us in the village."

Zhang Zhengdao nodded and said: "That's fine. I'll trouble Brother Zhu Gui to go to Yishui County. But be sure to remember not to drink or eat with him. If he doesn't obey, tell him that our village has strict rules. If you don't follow them,

, so there’s no need to go up the mountain.”

Zhu Gui smiled and said: "I have my own way to deal with that rough guy."

Zhang Zhengdao warned again: "If this black guy is so rude, let this matter be dropped. I, Liangshan, will not accept anyone who does not obey orders."

Zhu Gui responded.

At this time, Ling Guang and Suo Xian came forward holding wine bowls, wanting to have a drink with the village leader.

Zhu Gui then pulled Zhu Fu to the other side to talk alone.

"Brother, is your master Li Yun willing to go up the mountain to gather for justice?" Zhu Gui asked.

Zhu Fu shook his head and said: "My master is the head of the county government. The county magistrate thinks highly of him, and he is very prestigious in the countryside. I'm afraid it will be difficult to give up his future and come to Liangshan to join the business."

Zhu Gui sighed: "If that's the case, we can only give up. However, although you have entered the green forest, you must not cut off contact with your master."

Zhu Fu naturally understood what Zhu Gui meant. Although the two brothers were both leaders of the village, they only managed two hotels and had less than fifty people under them. Apart from luring heroes up the mountain, there was nothing they could do.

An opportunity to make great achievements.

Therefore, attracting more fellow villagers to join the gang is the way for the two brothers to be promoted. At least they can gain more popularity in front of the village leader.

"I will write a letter later. Please give this letter to my master after you return to your hometown." After Zhu Fu finished speaking, he continued to smile and said: "Master's kindness is like the ocean. Although I can't serve him, I still can't serve him.

Always remember his teachings."

Zhu Gui patted his brother on the shoulder, looked around at the hustle and bustle in the Juyi Hall, and lowered his voice and said, "It's best if you can understand my brother's intentions."

Zhu Fu nodded and said: "I only have you as a relative. If I don't help you, who else can I help?"

"But brother, please remember not to let Li Tieniu drink. Once this man drinks, he will act like a drunk. No one can stop him." Thinking of Zhu Gui coming down the mountain this time to invite Li Kui to join him, he solemnly reminded him.

.

Zhu Guidao: "I naturally know this. I have been walking in the green forest for a long time. I have seen many drunken people like this, and I have my own tricks to resolve them."

When Zhu Fu saw that Zhu Gui was not paying attention, he stopped talking. He looked up and saw the three men of the Ruan family discussing something with their heads down. Wang Lun came close to Song Wan and was also talking about something.

The two brothers looked at each other, and then with smiles at the same time, they picked up the wine bowl and approached the three men of the Ruan family. Zhu Gui called out: "Three brothers, this is my younger brother Zhu Fu, who went up the mountain to join the gang today.

, please take care of me, brothers, in the future."

With a smile on his face, Zhu Fu also shouted: "I'll give you a bowl to my three brothers."

Ruan Xiaoqi shouted: "You are a man who knows how to cheat and cheat. You are serving three people and only have a bowl of wine. It's up to you to serve us, or we brothers to accompany you to drink."

Zhu Fujian said with a smile: "The seventh brother is right, but the younger brother is wrong. Then the younger brother will have a bowl with the second brother first."

Ruan Xiaoer smiled and said: "Don't listen to his nonsense. They are all brothers from the village. How can they talk like that and eat wine?"

Zhu Fu had a bowl with him, and then had a bowl with Ruan Xiaowu and Ruan Xiaoqi one after another, and said some compliments, and the atmosphere was harmonious.

When Zhang Zhengdao saw that all the brothers were having a good meal, he steeled himself to drink with them for a while. It was not until late at night that he was supported by his subordinates and returned to the lake view room to rest.
