Water Margin people

Chapter 168

After visiting the temple fair all day, Sun Lei returned to the inn at night and asked Xiao Er to prepare a table of good wine and food.

"Brother, is this a reward for my iron cow today?"

Li Kui's mouth was already drooling looking at the table of delicious food and wine.

"What are you in a hurry for? There are still guests not here."

Sun Lei stopped Li Kui, who was going to catch beef to eat.

"Guest? Elder brother invited someone?"

Li Kui looked at the people present in puzzlement, all his own people had arrived.

"It's late, brother, please forgive me!"

Pang Wanchun came back with his younger sister at this time, and apologized quickly. There were too many people burning incense in Dongyue Temple, and they didn't line up until evening, so it was too late when they came back.

"Hey, why is this guy!"

Li Kui became angry when he saw Pang Wanchun, and he has not yet avenged himself for being thrown!

"Let me introduce, this is Jiangnan's young Yangyou Ji Pang Wanchun. He is invincible in archery. Compared with the Huarong brothers, he might as well give way. This time he is also here to fight."

Sun Lei smiled and introduced Pang Wanchun to everyone. As for Pang Qiuxia who was still dressed as a man, she probably didn't want to be recognized, so she didn't introduce herself.He introduced the people on his side again.

"Everyone, I offended you the day before yesterday!"

Pang Wanchun clasped his fists and said to everyone.

"You're welcome, if you don't fight, you don't know each other! Brother is also a good skill."

Jiao Ting said with a smile, since Sun Lei introduced from him, a little friction is nothing.

"I also fight, watch me throw you off the ring!"

Li Kui saw that it was difficult to do anything, so he suppressed all his anger and prepared to avenge himself in the ring.

"Since Brother Li Kui is interested, let's compete in the ring."

Pang Wanchun saw that Li Kui was a barbarian, so he didn't care about him, and said with a smile.

Everyone sat down, and Sun Lei persuaded them to drink with a smile. He was very interested in the rivers and lakes in the south of the Yangtze River. Jiangnan is Fang La's territory.

"Brother Jiangnan's story is beyond words!"

Pang Wanchun shook his head helplessly.

Since Zhao Ji ascended the throne, he asked Jiangnan for exotic flowers and stones every year. Under the instigation of treacherous officials, Zhao Ji set up a special agency such as Yingfeng Bureau to collect and transport folk rare treasures for him.These departments loaded the collected rare treasures on large ships and transported them to Bianjing.With 10 boats as one outline, it is called "Hua Shi Gang".

"Hua Shigang, I've seen it before. It's a big battle along the Bian River!"

Sun Lei said with a smile, he had seen the arrival of flowers and stones in Tokyo, one time it was a hundred boats of strange flowers and stones, which made people dazzled.

"Brother doesn't know. If you just collect some exotic flowers and stones, then the size of the south of the Yangtze River can easily fill a garden, but Zhao Ji's temperament is changeable. This year he likes this kind of thing, and next year he likes that kind of thing again. Is it a head?"

"Those officials are even more arrogant and domineering based on the emperor's orders. Anyone who takes a fancy to someone's flowers and stones, or cultural and antiques, only needs to be sealed with yellow paper, and it is considered the emperor's property."

"Not only that, those officials also took the opportunity to extort money. If their demands are not met, they will convict them of any crime, say disobedience to the emperor's orders, and put them in jail if they are light, or even lose their lives if they are serious. Many families have been ruined by them. , miserable."

Pang Wanchun gritted his teeth and said, just because Hua Shigang didn't know how many people in Jiangnan were ruined, Jiangnan is now full of grievances, and many heroes from all walks of life have gathered to fight against the imperial court.

"Is there such a thing?"

Jiao Ting's face turned livid. He has been traveling around Hebei and Shandong, and he doesn't know the situation in Jiangnan.

"Brother, this is not surprising! That Zhao Ji is insatiably greedy, and his subordinates are full of corrupt officials, levying tyranny!"

Lu Fang and Guo Sheng said, one of them is from Tanzhou, the other is from Jialing, and they are also suffering from Hua Shi Gang.

"Then what kind of bird emperor is really not a thing, brother, we will go to Tokyo, my brother will be the emperor, and we will be high-ranking officials. Isn't this just doing justice for the sky, doing chivalrous justice, and helping the weak!"

Li Kui immediately clamored, he could not see corrupt officials harming others.

"Tie Niu, can you talk about this casually?"

Ruan Xiaoqi, Jiao Ting, Shi Qian, Lu Fang, and Guo Sheng quickly held down Li Kui who was jumping up, telling him not to talk nonsense, this is not something that can be said casually.Fortunately, the inn was noisy, and they held a banquet in the backyard, and no one could hear Li Kui's shouts clearly.

"Am I wrong?"

Although Li Kui was stupid, he wasn't careless. He knew that the yelling just now was a bit too much, and his voice was a little softer, but he still didn't let go.

"Drink, drink!"

Sun Lei said with a smile, he didn't stop Li Kui, who doesn't like a younger brother who is so considerate of his older brother?No wonder Li Kui made troubles every day and Song Jiang still insisted on his post.

Everyone laughed and drank, and stopped talking about such unhappy things.

"Brother, I just heard that you know Xiao Li Guanghuarong from Shandong?"

When Pang Wanchun was half drunk, he suddenly looked at Sun Lei and asked.

"Yes, he is my little sister's brother!"

Sun Lei smiled and pointed to Huachan next to him and said to Pang Wanchun.

"So it's Huarong's younger sister. I've heard about that little Li Guangshenjian for a long time. My little Yangyouji is very dissatisfied. I've always wanted to compete with him!"

Pang Wanchun opened his mouth and said, he is also a martial arts idiot, and his favorite thing on weekdays is boxing, kicking and archery.This time I came to Tai'an Prefecture for the sumo ring in front of Dongyue Temple. It would be even better if I could compete with Xiao Li Guanghuarong again.

"There is a chance!"

Sun Lei said with a smile, Huarong is in Tai'an Prefecture, it is not difficult to meet each other.

"Little brother, thank you brother!"

Pang Wanchun was overjoyed, and quickly got up to toast Sun Lei.

"a piece of cake!"

Sun Lei picked up the wine bowl with a smile and said.

The banquet lasted until midnight, when everyone was full of wine and food, they dispersed.

"It seems that Fang La's actions are confidential enough, and Pang Wanchun still doesn't know Fang La's existence."

Sitting in the courtyard, Sun Lei looked at the crescent moon in the sky and muttered, Fang La can be regarded as the most powerful character in the Water Margin. He is the smartest of the four major rebels, but it is a pity that he was wiped out before he got up. Weak and weak, but still very capable internally.

"Brother, drink tea!"

Hua Chan came over with a tea tray and poured Sun Lei a cup of tea.

"Why don't you rest, are you tired after shopping all day?"

Sun Lei took a sip from the teacup with a smile.

"Not tired, this temple fair is really lively!"

Huachan shook her head.

"I will ask Shi Qian to look for your brother tomorrow. Why haven't I heard from you for a few days?"

Sun Lei saw Hua Chan's worry, and Hua Rong should have come to the city a long time ago.

"Brother, I'm afraid my brother will be involved in official business!"

Huachan shook her head, things in the public house are not easy, Huarong has done this before.

"Then you are worried that Pang Wanchun will cause trouble for your brother?"

Sun Lei asked again.

"Ok!"

Hua Chan nodded, although Hua Rong is known as the unparalleled archer of Xiao Li Guang, but the sword has no eyes.

"It's okay, although this Pang Wanchun is a martial idiot, he is not yet Huarong's opponent."

Sun Lei said with a smile, Huarong's archery skills are still higher than Pang Wanchun's.
