Jeju Prefecture.
Li Gang looked at the state capital in front of him with complicated eyes. The city was clean and tidy, and the people came in and out in an orderly manner. It didn't look like a state capital that had been breached by thieves.
A young man in his mid-twenties rode a horse and led a group of majestic men slowly out of the city.
"Is this Li Gang and Li Boji?"
Sun Lei cupped his fists at Li Gang and smiled.
"Are you Liangshan Bo Sun Lei?"
Li Gang looked at Sun Lei in front of him in surprise. A young man who looked like a young man had no connection with the notorious thief.
"Exactly, please!"
Sun Lei smiled and nodded in a gesture of invitation.
Li Gang was about to take out the imperial edict from his sleeve. As the emperor's envoy, he would read out the imperial edict as soon as he saw the emperor to show the emperor's majesty.
"please!"
Everyone behind Sun Lei shouted in unison, and his posture made Li Gang frown. This meant that he was not given the opportunity to read out the imperial edict.
"Liangshan Po Sun Lei accepts the order!"
Li Gang still took out the imperial edict, raised it high above his head, looked at Sun Lei and said loudly.
Sun Lei just looked at Li Gang with a smile on his horse. He had no intention of getting off his horse and kneeling down to receive the order. The rest of the people were also like this. Many people looked at Li Gang with murderous intent.
"Mr. Li, I think you haven't read this imperial edict yet? It's better not to read it. I guess there must be nothing good in it. If you read it in public, everyone's face will look bad!"
Sun Lei looked at the dragon-embroidered Huangdouzi imperial edict tied up with a yellow rope and said with a smile.
"It's better to invite you into the city first. This is my third invitation. According to the rules of the rivers and lakes, if you don't go, you won't give me face. Then you can only come according to the rules of the rivers and lakes."
Sun Lei looked at Li Gang and continued.
"Master Li, please go to the city first. This is not the place to talk!"
Zhang Ganban was frightened by the dagger-like looks of everyone behind Sun Lei. How could he dare to disobey Sun Lei?
Li Gang looked at Sun Lei, then at the imperial edict in his hand, but finally did not open it. His impression of Sun Lei had changed a lot along the way. As Sun Lei said, the language in this edict must not sound good. Reading it in public Coming out will only make it difficult for both parties to get off the stage, and Zhao'an will be in ruins by then.
Entering Jeju Mansion, Sun Lei took Li Gang straight to the government office with a smile. The people on both sides of the street looked at the people coming from the court with disgusted faces. This made Li Gang feel like he was being paraded through the streets, almost throwing rocks and rotten leaves.
"There's no need for you guys to go in. Brother didn't invite you!"
After Li Gang entered the government office, Fang Tian, Lu Fang and Guo Sheng, drew their halberds and blocked Zhang Qianban and Li Yuhou from outside.
"We are the envoys of the imperial court!"
Li Yuhou was furious, looked at Lu Fang and shouted.
"Marquis Li Yu has such great official authority. This is the territory of Liangshanbo. If you are seeking death, Lin Chong will definitely help you."
Lin Chong's eyes were full of murderous intent, and he picked up the spear in his hand. The tip of the spear had already reached three inches from the tip of Li Yuhou's nose.
"Lin...Lin Chong!"
Marquis Li Yu immediately recognized Lin Chong. Back then in Tokyo, as Marquis Yu of the Taiwei Mansion, he often showed his authority in front of Lin Chong. He did not expect that the military man who was so submissive and ordered around by him would become like this. Fierce and murderous, he was so frightened that his hair stood on end.
Lin Chong's arm trembled slightly, and the tip of the spear swayed and trembled. The tip of the spear shone with cold light as if it was piercing out. He was so frightened that Li Yuhou wanted to retreat, but his steps were unsteady and he fell to the ground.
"Teacher Lin, why bother with such a villain? Just kill him!"
Wang Jin walked out with a smile.
"Wang Jin!"
Li Yuhou was really scared at this time. Lin Chong and Wang Jin were the two people he personally helped Gao Qiu frame up. These two people had a blood feud with Gao Qiu.
"Two brothers, let's spare their lives first. It's already in our hands anyway. How we want to concoct it is not a matter of a word!"
Zhu Wu walked over and said with a smile.
Lin Chong and Wang Jin were not interested in killing Li Yuhou. Although they had a grudge, they would not kill a servant to vent their anger. If they wanted to find it, they would find the rightful owner.
"You'd better be honest with me, otherwise..."
Deng Fei played with the dagger in his hand, and glanced at the two of them with a pair of blood-red eyes, then added more daggers with an evil look on his face, as if he was about to start dinner.
This frightened Li Yuhou and Zhang Qianban to death. They hugged each other and trembled. Rumor has it that people with red eyes only get red-eyed after eating too much human flesh. Could this red-eyed villain in front of him want to cut off their flesh and eat it? Thinking of this, Li Yuhou and Zhang Qianban's lower bodies felt damp and hot, and they were so frightened that they became incontinent.
"Pull away, pull away!"
Deng Fei didn't expect these two people to be so frightened. He waved his hands in disgust and asked the soldiers to pull them away.
In the government office, the banquet has been served.
"Mr. Li, don't hold that thing. If you don't read it first, we will have nothing to say."
Sun Lei looked at Li Gang who had been holding the imperial edict and said with a smile.
Li Gang hesitated for a moment, but still opened the imperial edict in his hand, intending to take a look first.
"Zhi said: Wen can stabilize the country, and martial arts can rule the country. The five emperors established their territories with rituals and music, and the three emperors established the world with their killings. Things follow obedience and adversity, and people are wise and foolish. I inherit the great cause of my ancestors and open up the sun and the moon. With its brilliance, the whole world leads the land and refuses to surrender. Recently, Sun Lei and others gathered in the mountains and forests to rob the counties and cities. I wanted to use the sky to fight, but I was afraid of disturbing my life and the people. Now I sent Li Gang, the resident man, to come and recruit me. When the edict comes, you will have enough money, food, weapons, horses, and ships. You will accept the officials, demolish the nest, and lead the troops to the capital. You will be exempted from this crime. If you still have no conscience and violate the harsh edict, when the heavenly soldiers arrive, they will not stay. Therefore, This is an edict, if you want to know it."
After reading the imperial edict, Li Gang's expression changed slightly. This imperial edict was completely insincere. It was more of a threat than an imperial edict. No matter how stupid a bandit was, he would not agree to this imperial edict.
"Not sincere, right?"
Sun Lei said with a smile when he saw Li Gang's expression was abnormal.
"You already knew this?"
Li Gang looked at Sun Lei and asked.
"Isn't this obvious? How many people have I offended? Yang Jian and Gao Qiu all have big enemies, and Cai Jing and Tong Guan also have conflicts. How can these people let me issue an imperial edict? Just do it sincerely. , I also have to consider whether there is any conspiracy, will they plot against me in the future? Those people are not good people, killing a group of petty officials is not just trampling on a group of ants? "
Sun Lei said with a smile, he is very clear-headed. With Liangshan here, he can decide everything. After surrendering to the court, he is just a beast to be slaughtered.
"Aren't you ready to recruit?"
Li Gang looked at Sun Lei with squinted eyes.
"Don't look at me like that. The last person who looked at me like that was a master. He could take someone's head within five steps, just like picking up an object from a bag, but now he's mine."
Sun Lei smiled and said, Zong Ze was both civil and military, while Li Gang was just a pure scholar. In terms of military force, Li Gang was no threat at all.
"Besides, what's so good about Zhao'an? Being a dog to a fool like Zhao Ji?"
Sun Lei looked at Li Gang and asked.
"Don't think that it's enough for Liangshan to defeat several Xiang armies and occupy a few state cities. Once the elite elites of the imperial court arrive, can you stop them!"
Li Gang looked at Sun Lei and asked.
"Ha ha!"
Li Gang's words caused laughter in the audience.
