Chapter 507 Jianghu Morality
To the east of Changsha Prefecture, there is a county town called Liuyang County.

At the junction of Shegang and Longfu towns in Liuyang County, there is a solitary sandstone mountain, which is named Shiniuzhai because its shape resembles a cow.

Although this place is only about 500 meters high, it has many peculiar rocks and caves. The mountains are extremely dangerous and it is an easy-to-defend but difficult-to-attack place.

Now, this place is occupied by a group of bandits.

On this day, the four bosses gathered together as usual, discussing where to go to do some fucking shit.

At this moment, a lackey hurried in and reported: "Four masters, there is a man down the mountain who claims to be Mr. Zhou from Huarong. He is a good friend of the four masters. He has a big job and wants to discuss it with the four masters."

"Oh?"

The eldest boss's Li Shutong looked at the fourth boss Chen Guaizi and asked, "Does my fourth brother know him?"

"Yes, I did. Before I went up the mountain, I was begging for food from Mr. Zhou." Chen Guaizi said cheerfully, "When Mr. Zhou died, the agreement between me and him was cancelled, so I came out."

"Since you are an acquaintance, just put it up!" Upon hearing this, Liu Shutong waved his hand and said proudly.

A moment later, Landlord Zhou entered the lobby led by two minions.

Chen Guaizi looked at the other person, clasped his fists and said, "Mr. Xiao Zhou, I have already repaid the favor to your Zhou family. If you come up now, it would be best if you really have a big job."

When Landlord Zhou saw Chen Guaizi, a familiar face, his originally nervous mood relaxed a little.

He forced a smile, bowed in return and said, "Although I am far away in Huarong, I have heard of the reputation of the four masters many times. I ventured here this time to discuss something important. However, this matter is very big, I just don't know if the four masters can handle it?"

The third in command, Wang Tieshou, laughed and said, "Haha, there is nothing in Changsha Prefecture that our Shiniuzhai cannot handle!"

Seeing the arrogant look of Landlord Zhou, the second in command Liu Mazi glared at him and said frivolously, "Why don't you tell me what the big deal is? If it's not big enough, don't blame us for being ruthless."

"A friend of mine in Changsha Prefecture is offering this amount." Landlord Zhou raised a finger and gestured, then said, "For the head of a senior official who will pass through Liuyang County the day after tomorrow."

"One hundred taels?" Liu Mazi frowned slightly. They had killed minor officials of the imperial court before, but they did it very cleanly and did not attract the attention of the imperial court.

Landlord Zhou said loudly: "Ten thousand taels!"

After these words were spoken, the eyes of the second and third in command lit up. Ten thousand taels of silver could provide retirement funds for everyone in their entire village.

Liu Mazi even asked directly: "Who do you want to kill?"

But the first and fourth bosses could not help but frown. They were both old hands and could get the client to offer a high price of 12,000 taels. They must be no simple person.

Li Shutong suddenly remembered something. The land measurement issue that had been making the rounds a few days ago had now come to Huguang's turn.

Could it be that this idiot wanted them to intercept and kill Ou Zanghua?
"Governor of Five Provinces Ou Zanghua!"

"Who are you talking about?"

Wang Tieshou stood up and asked in surprise, "Don't you know that Ou Zanghua is a disciple of Liu Renxia of the Hengshan School? To us, he is a brother!"

"Are you brothers?" Landlord Zhou couldn't help but laughed out loud.

Liu Mazi said coldly, "What are you laughing at? Twenty years ago, we learned skills from Master Lu of the Hengshan School. Aren't we brothers?"

"What do those two mean?"

"You have to pay more!"

"We won't answer it!" The eldest and the third brother spoke at the same time, and then were stunned.

Chen Guaizi said, "Mr. Xiao Zhou, please go to the guest room next door to rest for a while. The four of us brothers need to discuss this matter."

"Okay." Landlord Zhou looked at the expressions of the four heads and nodded decisively.

After they left, Li Shutong looked at Liu Mazi and Wang Tieshou and said in a cold voice, "Are you two crazy? Ou Zanghua is a senior official of the imperial court, and he has five elite troops with him. Regardless of how you kill him, even if you succeed by chance, how can Shiniu Village resist the imperial court's massive army?"

"Brother, the man is dead. Can the imperial court mobilize thousands of troops to avenge him for a dead person?" Liu Mazi laughed and said, "Anyway, we in the mountain stronghold are not so loyal."

Li Shutong frowned slightly and said slowly: "Second brother, are you blaming me for not saving the fifth brother?"

"I'm just blaming you for not saving Lao Wu!"

Liu Mazi slammed the table and stood up, pointing at Li Shutong and yelling, "You just studied with the scholar for a few years, right? Why are you pretending to be so high and mighty in this mountain stronghold? If you speak up, your big plans will be ruined, but if you keep silent, you can't have both. We are mountain bandits, we live from today to tomorrow, what big plans do we have?!"

Li Shutong's chest heaved. He looked at Wang Tieshou and asked, "Third Brother, do you think so too?"

"Brother, I remember you said that in life, one can either be remembered for a hundred years or be remembered for a thousand years." Wang Tieshou smiled and asked, "Now that the opportunity is in front of you, why don't you take it?"

Li Shutong looked at Chen Guaizi again, and there was even a hint of pleading in his eyes.

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

"Second brother, third brother, if we take other orders, we will have a high probability of death. But for this order, there is no chance of survival, I think..."

Liu Mazi interrupted Chen Guaizi and said, "Old Four, if you believe me, then work with me. If you don't believe me, then don't say anything."

Chen Guaizi shut up. They had known each other for many years, and he had already reminded them, so he had done his best.

"Second brother, third brother, do you really want to take this order?" Li Shutong asked the two men with a cold gaze.

Liu Mazi said stiffly, "Yes! Ten thousand taels, I'll take it!"

Wang Tieshou nodded happily, obviously being on the same page as Liu Mazi.

Li Shutong endured it again and again, turned around and said: "If you take this order, we brothers will have no work!"

"Then let's not do it. Don't wait until I get rich and come to you with a gloomy face to claim you as my brother!" Liu Mazi sneered, turned around and walked out of the lobby with Wang Tieshou.

Seeing this, Chen Guaizi pursed his lips and asked, "Brother, are you really going to let them go?"

"Oh, we have been alienated for a long time." Li Shutong looked at the backs of the two people leaving, and a trace of loneliness flashed in his eyes.

Not long after, Liu Mazi led more than 20 of his brothers and the landlord Zhou down the mountain.

Chen Guaizi went to the warehouse to count the supplies and unexpectedly discovered that the gunpowder they had collected with great difficulty had been taken away by Liu Mazi.

His heart trembled violently, and then he suddenly realized, so this is what his second brother called the method?
After thinking it over, he went to find the eldest boss and told him the situation. Finally, he suggested: "Brother, let's see if this method of second brother can really hurt Ou Zanghua. Otherwise, let's... secretly inform Lord Ou! With this merit, we may be able to get rid of our identity as gangsters and get a job."

Li Shutong suddenly turned his head to look at his fourth brother, all kinds of emotions surging in his eyes.

The main reason why Chen Guaizi chose to discuss with Li Shutong was to drag him into the water.

Not to mention whether he could meet Ou Zanghua, even if he did meet Ou Zanghua and explained the situation, he would not be able to accomplish anything big with his ability, and he would be targeted by Li Shutong, who might kill him one day.
Li Shutong was silent for a long time, so long that Chen Guaizi thought he was going to agree, then he said in a cold voice: "Don't say that! Although the second and third brothers left me, they are brothers who have been through life and death with me. I, Li Shutong, will not do such a thing as stabbing my brothers in the back!"

 I walked 20,000 steps in the mountains today! I can’t take it anymore, brothers. Let’s go to sleep and make up for it tomorrow!
