Xianxia version of Water Margin

Chapter 173 The art of making money

How badly was Lu Junyi beaten?

It can be said that if a person sees it, he can't bear to look directly at it.

Li Gu spent enough spiritual money to let the executioner use 120% of his strength to hit Lu Junyi with a thirty-kill stick.

That is to say, Lu Junyi, who is highly cultivated, is in good health, otherwise, just these thirty killing sticks can kill Lu Junyi.

After surviving this disaster, Lu Junyi was pushed into the prison door.

The two houses of Daming Mansion imprisoned the executioners in charge of the district level. Because of his powerful killing methods, people called Cai Fu the "Iron Arm".

This man also had a younger brother, who was a small warden in charge of the prison in Daming Prefecture. He was a famous executioner. He was born to love Yi Zhi Hua and was known as "Yi Zhi Hua" Cai Qing.

After Lu Junyi entered death row, he was under the control of brothers Cai Fu and Cai Qing.

Therefore, Li Gu found Cai Fu and took five thousand spiritual stones, hoping that Cai Fu would kill Lu Junyi in prison.

Cai Fu agreed and asked Li Gu to collect the body early tomorrow morning.

But as soon as Cai Fu accepted Li Gu's spirit stone, Shi Xiu went to Cai Fu and handed over 100,000 spirit stones to Cai Fu, asking Cai Fu to save Lu Junyi's life. Finally, he told Cai Fu that if Cai Fu Fu left Lu Junyi's life, and Shuibo Liangshan owed Cai Fu a favor. Otherwise, when Liangshan heroes conquered Damingfu City, Cai Fu would definitely be put on trial.

As soon as Shi Xiu left, Dai Zong, who was sent by Chao Gai and Song Jiang to inquire about Lu Junyi, also took 10,000 spiritual stones and gave them to Cai Fu. He then told Cai Fu that Lu Junyi was the leader of Naitou Mountain and that he was saved by Naitou Mountain. If Lu Junyi dies in prison, after Naitoushan captures Damingfu City, everyone in Damingfu City, whether wise or foolish, old or young, will be beheaded, leaving no chickens or dogs behind.

Cai Fu was frightened when he saw that the heroes of Liangshan and the strongmen of Naitoushan wanted to rescue Lu Junyi, and both threatened to attack Damingfu City.

Cai Fu hurried back to discuss countermeasures with Cai Qing.

After hearing the attitudes of all parties, Cai Qing said:

"As the saying goes: To kill, you must see blood, and to save people, you must rescue thoroughly. Since there are 110,000 spiritual stones here, you and I will use them on behalf of Mr. Lu. Liang Zhongshu and Zhang Kongmu are both profit-seeking people. If they accept a bribe, they must be thorough. Lu Yuanwai's life is at stake. If Lu Yuanwai is sent out to assassinate those who cannot be saved, there are other heroes from Liangshan and people from Naitoushan. What we have done is easy."

Cai Fu felt that what his brother said made sense, so he settled Lu Junyi well, prepared good wine and meat for Lu Junyi, and said to Lu Junyi:

"Li Gu took five thousand coins to protect the lives of other members, but don't worry about them. He had made real friends before. Liangshan hero Shi Xiu took one hundred thousand coins to protect the lives of other members, and Dai Zong of Naitoushan also sent ten thousand coins. The teacher cannot harm the members. My two brothers will not covet these 110,000 coins. They will use these 110,000 coins to manage the staff and teachers so that there is a way out for the teachers."

As soon as Lu Junyi heard that Jiang Hongfei took one hundred thousand soul money to help him with everything, he knew that he would definitely not die this time.

Why?

Lu Junyi knew Li Gu very well. Although he knew that things cost money, he was reluctant to spend a lot of money.

But Jiang Hongfei was different. He was really a big shot, and his handiwork was so great that even Lu Junyi was ashamed.

Lu Junyi believed that as long as Jiang Hongfei wanted to save him, he would definitely not die.

Just thinking about Jiang Hongfei's purpose of saving him, Lu Junyi couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed!

As for the people in Naitoushan?

Mentioning them, Lu Junyi hated him so much. If it weren't for them, would he be in this situation? ! ! !

It is no exaggeration to say that Lu Junyi chopped Wu Yong, Chao Gai, Song Jiang and other people in Naitou Mountain into pieces without any regrets.

Cai Fu and Cai Qing decided to use the 110,000 yuan overnight to buy all the joints.

Liang Zhongshu alone received 50,000 yuan.

——Cai Fu and Cai Qing have heard that Li Gu gave Liang Zhongshu 300,000 yuan in order to seize Lu Junyi's property. No, to be precise, Liang Zhongshu blackmailed Li Gu for 300,000 yuan.

yes.

Lu Junyi's family assets are as much as five million yuan.

But most of the five million yuan is real estate such as fields, houses, and shops.

——To move this part of the real estate requires a series of complicated procedures, which cannot be done by Li Gu and Jia in a short while.

As for the working capital, Lu Junyi's family only has more than 500,000 yuan.

It can be said that Li Gu gave most of Lu Junyi's spiritual money that he could use to Liang Zhongshu.

In addition, when Li Gu wants to move Lu Junyi's real estate in the future, most of it will definitely fall into Liang Zhongshu's pocket.

In other words, it is not just Li Gu who wants Lu Junyi to die, Liang Zhongshu also wants Lu Junyi to die.

In this case, there are too few books for Liang Zhongshu and it is of no use at all.

Even with this, Cai Fu couldn't guarantee that he could impress Liang Zhongshu. After all, Liang Zhongshu was eyeing Lu Junyi's millions in family property, not just this small amount.

The next day, Li Gu saw no movement and came to Cai Fu's house to urge him.

Cai Qing's brother Cai Fu replied: "We were about to kill him, but Mr. Zhongshu refused, saying that someone had already paid to keep him alive. You go up to use it yourself and pay it down. What's wrong with me here?"

After hearing this, Li Gu went to find Liang Zhongshu.

Liang Zhongshu said: "This is a prison-level crime. Do you want me to do it myself?"

The ball was kicked from both sides, making Li Gu's lungs almost explode with anger.

Zhang Kongmu had already obtained 20,000 spiritual stones, and with a stroke of his pen, Lu Junyi's copywriting was postponed.

Let's put it this way, although Cai Fu doesn't spend as much spiritual money as Li Gu, Cai Fu understands the upper and lower joints, and all his spiritual money is spent on the key points, which is much more effective than Li Gu spending money randomly.

As a result, although everyone said that they would help Li Gu kill Lu Junyi, Lu Junyi was still alive and well.

Li Gu was so anxious that he came to Liang Zhongshu with the contracts of two more prosperous shops.

Seeing this, Liang Zhongshu called Zhang Kongmu and asked, "How should we decide this matter?"

Zhang Kongmu, who had received Cai Fu's large sum of spiritual money, favored Lu Junyi and said: "In the opinion of the junior official, although there is a plaintiff in this case, there is no real evidence. Although Lu Junyi lived in Naitoushan for four months, this is a case of Fu Tongxu." Mistake, it’s hard to ask the real culprit. It’s better to have a staff with a spine of forty and a thorn that can match a thousand miles. I wonder what your Majesty will do?”

After all, Liang Zhongshu had received too much money from Li Gu, and he had to give Li Gu an explanation. The key point was that Liang Zhongshu was also concerned about Lu Junyi’s family property, and he definitely could not let Lu Junyi live, so he said:

"The pores are extremely clear, and if they match my official position, then I will be assigned to Salmon Island."

When Zhang Kongmu heard "Assassination with Salmon Island", how could he not know what Liang Zhongshu meant?

And since Liang Zhongshu had made up his mind to kill Lu Junyi, Zhang Kongmu couldn't say anything. He could only say to himself: "Lu Yuan is just a foreigner who wants to be blessed."

Although Liang Zhongshu had already sentenced Lu Junyi to assassinate Salmon Island, Li Gu was still worried, so he found Dong Chao and Xue Ba, who were transferred from Kaifeng Prefecture to Daming Prefecture. They were the officials who escorted Lu Junyi to Salmon Island this time, and offered him a bribe. , asking Dong Chao and Xue Ba to kill Lu Junyi halfway, and expressed his gratitude when he came back.

Because of Cai Fu's care, Lu Junyi was stabbed in the face, but it was only a little bit. He blocked it with his hair and it was invisible. Lu Junyi deserved to receive the forty-ridged cane, but it was also a symbolic beating casually.

It can be said that Lu Junyi has not suffered any crime in Daming Mansion since the spiritual money from Shuibo Liangshan and the spiritual money from Naitou Mountain were delivered.

But after Dong Chao and Xue Ba left Daming Mansion with Lu Junyi, Cai Fu and Cai Qing's mission was completed.

This was the beginning of Lu Junyi’s nightmare.

Dong Chao and Xue Ba blamed Lu Junyi for not taking the spiritual money to deal with them, so they accepted the spiritual money from Li Gu to demand Lu Junyi's life, and used the same methods they had used to deal with Lin Chong on Lu Junyi in an intensified manner.

Moreover, Lu Junyi, once the leading wealthy man in Daming Mansion, still had to cook and boil water for Dong Chao and Xue Ba.

How could Lu Junyi, who was born with a silver spoon in his mouth, do these things? Of course it can't be done well.

Seeing that Lu Junyi couldn't even do this little thing well, Dong Chao and Xue Ba went up to him and beat him up, without giving Lu Junyi anything to eat. Lu Junyi could only eat the leftover soup and cold rice left by Dong Chao and Xue Ba.

What's even more outrageous is that Lu Junyi had to wash the feet of Dong Chao and Xue Ba.

It can be said that Lu Junyi not only suffered physically, but also suffered humiliation.

While traveling, all the things Dong Chao and Xue Ba carried were hung on Lu Junyi's body, completely using Lu Junyi as an animal.

Lu Junyi, who has become a fish on the chopping board of Dong Chao and Xue Ba, can only swallow his anger.

At this time, it was the late autumn weather, and yellow leaves were falling one after another. Facing Sai Hongfei, his heart was filled with sorrow from all over the world, and he was hiding all kinds of sorrows. In his sorrow, he could only listen to the sound of the transverse flute. Lu Junyi then recited a poem:

Whose jade flute plays the Qiu Qing Dynasty, stirring up chaos and annoying the guests for no reason. Naturally, you can't hear it if you have a broken heart. You have to blow it to make the sound of broken intestines.

The next day, Lu Junyi and his party left Daming Mansion and came to an evil forest.

Dong Chao and Xue Ba looked at each other, and then tied Lu Junyi to a big tree with a spiritual rope on the grounds that they had gotten up early and were going to sleep in the forest for fear that Lu Junyi would run away.

At this time, Dong Chao and Xue Ba showed their true faces. Xue Ba said:

"Don't blame us two. Your supervisor, Li Gu, taught us how to kill you on the way. You arrived at Salmon Island and died. It's better to send him away as soon as possible to avoid suffering along the way. Don't blame us when you get to the underworld. Just blame yourself for not being able to discern people. Today next year will be your anniversary."

Lu Junyi burst into tears after hearing this. He regretted not listening to Yan Qing's words, and hated the people of Naitoushan, Li Gu and Jia for putting him in such a situation.

But the matter has come to this, even if Lu Junyi has a huge hatred, what can he do?

At this time, Lu Junyi had no spiritual power at all, he was no different from ordinary people, and this was a wilderness, and there was no one who could save him, so he could only bow his head and die.

Just when Xue Ba was about to beat Lu Junyi to death with his water and fire stick, the figure flashed and Xue Ba's head flew out.

The sword flashed again, and Dong Chao was split in half from the middle with the sword, and blood splashed all over Lu Junyi.

Lu Junyi looked up and said in great surprise: "Brother Shi Xiuxian?"

Lu Junyi looked again and saw two people standing not far away, it was Luan Tingfang and Xie Bao.

Shi Xiu cut the soul binding rope on Lu Junyi's body with a knife and said:

"From the front of the left-behind department, we followed these two guys. When we saw Li Gu inviting these guys to talk, we guessed that these guys must be trying to harm Yuan Wai, so we followed him out of the city overnight. Yuan Wai was treated like a slut by him in the village shop. , we all saw it, and we wanted to jump over and kill the man, but because there were so many people in the store, we didn’t dare to involve other people, so we had to give up."

Shi Xiu further explained:

"My elder brother learned that Yuan Wai was in trouble, so he personally took a hundred thousand coins and taught me how to save Yuan Wai's life. My brother also said that Yuan Wai's heart is towards Zhao Song, and I, Liangshan and Zhao Song, are incompatible with each other, so we won't teach us to act rashly. Contact the outsider so as not to ruin the choice of the outsider. Because we didn’t know what the outsider’s feelings were, we never took action to save the outsider. We wanted to let nature take its course. When the outsider had a choice, we would decide whether to take action or not depending on the situation. "

Lu Junyi understood clearly that Shuibo Liangshan intended to save him, but because his heart was loyal to the Zhao and Song dynasties, the Liangshan hero was afraid of being a disservice, so he had been very restrained and only saved his life and let him choose to go to Shamen Island to squat. In prison, he still went to Liangshan and became a bandit, and he didn't want to force him.

At the same time, Lu Junyi also understood. Jiang Hongfei's meaning was obvious. If he chose to remain loyal to the Zhao and Song Dynasty, Jiang Hongfei would be able to ensure that he reached the hell on earth safely on Shamen Island. Otherwise, he could save him at any time.

Lu Junyi understood Jiang Hongfei's approach very well and felt that Jiang Hongfei's behavior was understandable.

The reason is simple.

If he doesn't want to go to Liangshan and Luocao, then he wants to be loyal to the Zhao and Song Dynasties. In this case, he and Jiang Hongfei must be enemies.

Under such circumstances, Jiang Hongfei could still provide money and help to save his life. This was repaying evil with kindness, and he already owed Jiang Hongfei a huge favor.

Moreover, Lu Junyi felt that Jiang Hongfei understood him.

Just now, after Shi Xiu killed Dong Chao and Xue Ba, Lu Junyi's first thought was not that he had been rescued, but: "Although Shi Xiu saved my life, he killed these two men. This crime It’s getting heavier and heavier, what should I do?”

Shi Xiu smashed the spiritual shackles on Lu Junyi's body and said: "We, the heroes of Liangshan, will recognize these two gentlemen. Now, whether we choose to go to Shuibo Liangshan or return to Damingfu City, my brother has strictly ordered that we will never put one's oar in."

Having said this, Shi Xiu shouted to a big tree not far away: "Xiao Yi, come down."

Yan Qing in the tree was shocked when he heard this. He didn't expect Shi Xiu to have discovered him long ago. He was a little puzzled: "When did I show my weakness?"

——As everyone knows, Shi Xiu and the others have already followed Yan Qing in Damingfu City. How could they not know that Yan Qing is here?

Yan Qing jumped down from the tree, and then knelt down to Shi Xiu with a pop: "Thank you hero for saving my master's life."

Shi Xiu helped Yan Qing up and said, "You can save your master even if I don't take action. But if I take action, your master still has a choice. If you take action, your master will no longer be able to save Zhao Song." Possibility of effectiveness.”

As soon as Shi Xiu said this, Lu Junyi felt even more uncomfortable.

Lu Junyi never expected that Jiang Hongfei would see through him after only seeing him once.

Moreover, Jiang Hongfei was a true gentleman. Not only did he not force him at all, he also let people create conditions for him to make his own choices.

But the more this happens, the more difficult it becomes for Lu Junyi.

On the one hand, he was really interested in serving Jiang Hongfei, who understood him and had no problem except wanting to take the path of rebellion.

But on the other hand, this goes against what he has always insisted on.

It can be said that Lu Junyi now is confused and hates that he can't pick it up or let it go. He can't even make such a simple choice and behaves like a man.

After understanding what he said, Shi Xiu tore off a piece of cloth from Dong Chao's body, then dipped it in Dong Chao's blood and wrote on Xue Ba: "The murderer, Liangshan Shi Xiu."

After doing all this, Shi Xiu hugged Lu Junyi and Yan Qing and said, "Yuanwai, Xiao Yi, our green mountains will not change and our green waters will always flow. Let's say goodbye."

Luan Tingfang and Xie Bao also fisted at Lu Junyi and Yan Qing, and immediately the three of them left freely.

After Shi Xiu left, Yan Qing hugged Lu Junyi by the tree and cried loudly.

While crying, Yan Qing said: "Xiao Yi also followed these guys from the front of the left-behind department. Last night, the master was raped by these guys. Xiao Yi saw it, but because there were so many people in the store, Xiao Yi didn't dare to do anything. Xiao Yi was sure that these guys were going to harm the master in this forest, so he came to Lin Zhong and these guys first, looking for an opportunity to save the master, but he was beaten to the spot by the heroes of Liangshan."

After listening to this, Lu Junyi sighed with Yan Qing's loyalty and said, "Thankfully it was a hero from Liangshan who took action. Otherwise, I would have taught you to shoot these two men to death. This crime would have become more serious. When I was lying on the ground, I would have no way out." .”

When Yan Qing heard this, he understood Lu Junyi's choice. He asked anxiously: "Does the master still want to return to Damingfu City and throw himself into a trap?"

Lu Junyi said: "I didn't fall into the trap myself, but this incident may have been an opportunity. When Liang Zhongshu saw me go back to surrender, he must have known that he had wrongly convicted me. He should have found out the truth, restored my innocence, and taught the adulterer how to make money." The woman should be punished."

Yan Qing begged: "Master, please don't be naive. The family property was divided up by Li Gu and the corrupt officials in Damingfu City. How could they teach the master to survive and then ask for the property from them? Master, listen to Xiao Yi." , Bo Yuntian, who is so holy and righteous, and behaves upright, why not go to Shuibo Liangshan, bring in a large army to capture the city of Damingfu, and teach the adulterer Yinfu and all the corrupt officials to be killed and avenged."

Lu Junyi said angrily: "I'm confused! If I take this path, my innocent body will be like the yellow mud stuck to my crotch. How can I possibly regain my innocence?"

Yan Qing wanted to persuade her again, but Lu Junyi said angrily: "Now that I'm in such a state of despair, you don't even obey my orders, Xiao Yi?"

Yan Qing had no choice but to carry Lu Junyi back to Damingfu City with a cane sore, broken toe skin, and unable to touch the ground, and then went to the Left Behind Department to explain the situation.

After Liang Zhongshu heard this, he quickly sent someone to check in the forest.

It was soon proven that Dong Chao and Xue Ba were indeed killed by Liangshan hero Shi Xiu.

Liang Zhongshu went to Daming Mansion for an arrest and investigation. He had a limited date to catch the murderer Shi Xiu, so he didn't mention it for now.

It is only said that Lu Junyi returned to Damingfu City again, causing difficulties for Liang Zhongshu who was determined to kill Lu Junyi, and at the same time, it also caused difficulties for the leaders on Naitou Mountain who were planning to rob Lu Junyi on the way...
