Water Margin: My 108 Heroes Come from All Heavens

Then.

He then pulled a map out of his pocket.

It was laid out on the table.

The map was covered with circles and crosses, marking each crime scene and connecting them with red lines.

"What...what is this thing?"

Zijuan stared at the map covered with circles and crosses, feeling her head buzzing.

Heat map.

Liang Shan explained in a serious tone: "The intensity of the cases is indicated by the shade of color. The darker the color, the more frequently demons appear."

"Look here, this area in the west of the city is so red it's almost purple. There must be a huge number of demons hiding in this area."

"And this area in the north of the city, although it's not as densely populated, the cases happened recently, so there should be quite a few demons there too."

Lin Daiyu stared at the map for a long time, a strange light flashing in her eyes.

"Your method... is quite novel."

Although Liang Shan was just an ordinary person.

But deep down he exudes an indescribable confidence, which always manages to surprise her.

"After saying all that, you still haven't told us how to find these demons."

Zijuan pouted.

"This has to be kept secret; it won't work if I tell you."

Liangshan kept it a secret.

They then arranged a time to meet Lin Daiyu in the market area west of Kaifeng in the evening.

"Oops!"

"I think I forgot something."

Liang Shan suddenly slapped his forehead, as if he had remembered something.

"What's wrong?"

Lin Daiyu asked with concern.

Liang Shan looked regretful: "I promised to call for reinforcements to rescue Zhou Ming after I escaped."

The three looked at each other in bewilderment.

"I hope he's still alive."

Liang Shan immediately asked Zijuan to help Zhou Ming, who was being beaten by the people.

Not long after.

Zhou Ming, beaten like a dead dog, was dragged into Xiaoxiang Pavilion.

"My lord, I knew you would come to save me..."

Upon seeing Liangshan.

Zhou Ming could no longer hold back and burst into tears.

The man in his thirties was now acting like a child, feeling wronged.

"You're still the most loyal one."

Seeing Zhou Ming's pitiful state, Liang Shan was deeply moved and vowed to treat Zhou Ming as his own son from now on.

If Zhou Ming hadn't sacrificed himself to stop that group of troublemakers...

It's lying on the ground now.

That's him.

"actually……"

Zhou Ming's crying stopped abruptly, and he said somewhat embarrassedly, "Actually, I accidentally tripped and fell, and I couldn't outrun you..."

"..."

Liang Shan's emotions froze instantly.

……

The sky was getting dark.

The market town in the west of the city was bustling with activity.

This is one of the liveliest places in Kaifeng.

Street performers, acrobats, and food vendors crowded the entire street.

Liang Shan stood under a large locust tree.

Face covered.

Looking around.

Lin Daiyu stood beside him, her moon-white cloak fluttering gently in the night breeze, like a fairy descended to earth.

Zijuan followed behind.

He cautiously observed everyone in the market.

"Lieutenant Liang, what exactly is your plan?"

Lin Daiyu glanced at the crowd, then turned to look at Liangshan.

As a grandmaster.

Her eyes were sharp and her senses were incredibly keen.

However, the demons' disguises were extremely sophisticated. Living among humans, they had long since become tainted with human presence.

Difficult to distinguish.

She searched for a long time but couldn't find a single demon.

"It's very simple."

Liang Shan smiled slightly: "Let them jump out on their own."

"Jump out on your own?"

Lin Daiyu and Zijuan both looked puzzled.

But next second.

Then they saw Liang Shan tear off the black cloth covering his face.

hum-

The whole street fell silent instantly.

It's as if someone pressed the pause button.

All the noise, hawking, and laughter vanished in that instant.

Hundreds of eyes turned to Liangshan.

Followed by.

"It's that lecherous scoundrel!"

"Despicable and vile individuals deserve to be punished by everyone!"

"To rid the people of this scourge, today is the day!"

"beat!"

Someone shouted.

The whole street was blown up.

The old man selling candied hawthorns actually abandoned his stall, picked up his carrying pole, and charged towards Liangshan.

The monkey trainer ignored the monkeys, picked up his gong, and charged towards Liangshan with the same murderous intent.

The shopkeeper of the grocery store raised the weight.

The steamed bun shop owner held a rolling pin.

Even the girls selling flowers on the street picked up flower baskets...

In a short time.

Hundreds of people surged in from all directions.

Shouting "Eliminate the scourge for the people" and "Act on behalf of Heaven," their momentum was more spectacular than a battlefield.

Holy crap!

This was the first time Liang Shan had ever seen such a horrifying scene, and he turned and ran.

Simultaneously.

He kept looking back at the crowd as he ran.

He shouted, "Miss Lin! Look carefully!"

"Anyone who lays a hand on me is human; anyone who stands by and watches is a demon!"

"Miss, this..."

Zijuan was dumbfounded and didn't know what to say for a moment.

Lin Daiyu's lips twitched a few times.

Liangshan's actions were completely unexpected.

but……

Have to admit.

This method is indeed effective.

Thanks to her deliberate smear campaign, Liangshan has become infamous in Kaifeng.

No ordinary person could resist taking action after seeing Liangshan.

Unless one is a saint.

Or...

demon.

"Zijuan, keep a close eye on them."

Lin Daiyu gripped the silver spear tightly, her gaze sharp as she scanned the crowd in the market.

Under the big locust tree.

The path to Liangshan has been blocked by dozens of local people.

Carrying poles, rolling pins, weights, flower baskets—all sorts of weapons came crashing down on him.

"stop!"

In the critical moment, Liang Shan roared, "I am an official appointed by the imperial court! Are you rebelling?"

The people were stunned for a moment.

He then sneered, "We're targeting officials appointed by the imperial court!"

Liang Shan: "..."

Seeing the fierce and unyielding spirit of the people, he was completely convinced.

This is Kaifeng.

It is absolutely the place that respects its people the most in history.

"Bang!"

A carrying pole grazed his ear and slammed into the wall next to him, causing the plaster to crumble and fall.

Liang Shan's expression changed drastically.

They had no choice but to take off running again.

……

the other side.

Lin Daiyu stood still, observing the activity in the market.

really.

Just as Liang Shan said.

The vast majority of the people rushed up with bloodshot eyes, wishing they could devour Liangshan alive.

But in the corner.

There were still more than ten people, who seemed out of place.

An old man selling tofu, holding a tofu board in his hand, did not approach. Instead, he leaned against the corner of the wall, staring at Liang Shan with a sinister look and a strange smile on his lips.

Two young men dressed in silk robes stood by the tea stall, slowly sipping their tea.

The fortune-telling stall at the alley entrance.

The fortune teller, wearing a straw hat, had his eyes half-closed.

Behind the stall selling rouge and face powder.

A woman dressed in flamboyant clothes leaned against a pillar, fanning herself with a fan.

Nineteen!

Lin Daiyu, silver spear in hand, spoke in an exceptionally cold voice: "Zijuan, make your move!"

"yes!"

Zijuan's figure.

She moved like a fleeting shadow, heading straight for the tofu stall.

"Young lady, would you like to buy tofu?"

The old man selling tofu looked up, grinned, and revealed a mouthful of yellow teeth.
