Han Shizhong looked at Sun Lei and hesitated. It didn't seem good for him and Sun Lei to sit together, not to mention that this was a street with people coming and going.
"Thank you very much, Leader Sun!"
Liang Hongyu smiled and sat down.
This made Han Shizhong a little embarrassed. Liang Hongyu had already sat down, so it was even more inappropriate for him to leave, so he had no choice but to sit down.
"You are a grown man, how can you be so thin-skinned than a woman?"
Sun Lei looked at Han Shizhong and scolded him, why did Liang Hongyu fall in love with Han Shizhong?
"Leader Sun, he is helpless because of his status!"
Liang Hongyu helped Han Shizhong explain. As soon as these words came out, Han Shizhong's embarrassment became much better.
"As a man, you don't have such a big heart? Then I should drive him out of Liangshan as an officer!"
Sun Lei didn't give Han Shizhong face. This guy had lived in Liangshanbo for more than a month, but he didn't take the initiative to say hello. This made everyone feel uncomfortable.
"Look, people who celebrate the New Year don't know how to give their children lucky money!"
Sun Lei touched the little heads of his two children. He didn't want money from a poor man like Han Shizhong, but he had to show his face.
"Leader Sun, the gift has actually been prepared a long time ago."
Liang Hongyu smiled and took out two beautiful small purses. At a glance, she knew they were hand-embroidered.
When the two children saw the gift, they were very happy and couldn't put it down while holding their purses.
"The good cabbage has been eaten by pigs!"
Sun Lei sighed helplessly, a rough guy like Han Shizhong could find such a careful woman like Liang Hongyu.
"You have to call someone to receive the gift!"
Sun Lei looked at his son and daughter and said.
"Thank you, aunt! Thank you, uncle!"
The mouths of the two villains were quite sweet, which made Liang Hongyu smile. She pulled the two children and praised them.
"Chief Sun, red bean soup! And this pastry is also made by the little Hun family. Chief Sun, try it!"
The stall owner came over with a dinner plate. It was obvious that he was a little nervous and his calves were trembling.
"Thank you very much, here's the money!"
Sun Lei took out a bunch of copper coins and put them on the stall owner's wooden tray.
"It's my honor for Leader Sun to come to the stall. I don't dare to ask for money!"
When the stall owner saw Sun Lei giving money, he was so frightened that he knelt down and begged for mercy, thinking that he had offended Sun Lei.
"It's only natural to pay for food! As long as you're not asking for a price and make sure the food is clean and fine, then it's only natural to accept the money!"
Sun Lei looked at the vendor and said.
"You don't charge money? Does that mean you haven't paid the protection fee?"
When Sun Lei saw that the vendors still didn't dare to accept the money, he immediately asked with a straight face, Liangshan won a big victory and the farmers were exempted from the protection fees. This is a must for merchants and vendors, especially those who come to Liangshan Town to set up stalls.
However, the collection was not too much. Sun Lei originally did not want to collect it, but the problem was that there were too many people coming to Liangshan to do business. If they really let it go, the entire three floors of Liangshan would be crowded.
"Hand it in, hand it in! Here's the receipt!"
The vendor immediately took out a piece of paper nervously from his arms and prepared to hand it to Sun Lei. This was the receipt for the protection fee he paid, in two copies, and one was in Liangshan.
"That's it, take the money and go about your business!"
Sun Lei waved his hand and didn't bother to look. Without this thing, the stall owner wouldn't be able to set up a stall here.
"But this is a lot of money!"
The stall owner was an honest man and said while looking at the string of copper coins.
“Then let’s serve a few more bowls of red bean soup, this is not enough!”
Sun Lei said, this bowl of red bean soup is only enough for a few mouthfuls.
"Yes, yes, I'll go pick it up right now!"
The vendor then calmly accepted the money and left.
"Why, do you think I'm really trying to win people's hearts?"
Sun Lei asked with a smile when he saw Han Shizhong staring at him.
"If we can continue as usual, hypocrites will also be gentlemen!"
Han Shizhong didn't mean to please me, he directly said what I was thinking.
"I don't think Leader Sun is a hypocrite. It's only natural to give money to eat. I don't see anyone in Liangshan who dares to eat without giving money."
Liang Hongyu said, she had lived in Liangshan for some time, but seeing was believing. There was no one in Liangshan who bullied men, dominated women, or did anything unscrupulous, not even the rogue idlers.
"Leader Sun, when are you going to ascend the throne?"
Han Shizhong drank the red bean soup, then looked at Sun Lei and asked.
The massive construction of palaces in Liangshan could be concealed from ordinary people, so how could it be concealed from him? As for the reason why Sun Lei wanted to take a concubine, he didn't believe it. Taking a concubine was for sure, but who would take a concubine to build a palace complex? The emperor only built a palace.
"Did you see it? Wait for an auspicious day. Although I think it's better to choose a day than to hit it, I can't help my brothers to insist!"
Sun Lei smiled.
"Are you ready to leave?"
Sun Lei also drank the red bean soup and asked. Since Han Shizhong suddenly asked about this matter, he must be leaving. After all, he is a general of the imperial court. He has lived in Liangshan for more than a month and his vacation should have ended long ago.
"Well, after receiving the news, Tong Guan summoned the generals to report back to Tokyo!"
Han Shizhong didn't hide it either. He had seen the horror of Liangshan's intelligence and Tong Guan gathered generals. This was no secret and there was no need to hide it.
"I have never been to Liangshan, and I don't know what happened here! But next time we meet, you and I will still be officials and thieves!"
Han Shizhong looked at Sun Lei and said, this is his attitude towards Sun Lei. Sun Lei helped him and rescued Liang Hongyu. He accepted this kindness. He will not tell Tong Guan about Liang Shan's information. This is considered as his return of kindness. .
"It's not necessary. You can tell Tong Guan. I dare to do this without fear of the court knowing."
Sun Lei said with a smile.
"You are not afraid?"
Han Shizhong looked at Sun Lei and asked.
"Why be afraid?"
Sun Lei asked back, if he was afraid, then he would not rebel. Based on his understanding of history, being an obedient citizen would definitely lead to a life of wealth and wealth. Even if dynasties changed, he would be able to get along like a fish in water.
"Isn't it Zhao Ji who you are afraid of?"
Sun Lei drank up the red bean soup in the bowl and said with a smile, Han Shizhong seemed to have not seen the situation clearly. Now Liangshan is strong and the court is weak. How can the strong be afraid of the weak.
Han Shizhong looked at Sun Lei, and then he realized that Liangshan was incredibly powerful. The elites of the Liao Kingdom were defeated by Liangshan, and the army of the Jin Kingdom was also defeated by the Liangshan army. Who in the world is still Liangshan's opponent?
"I say this not to discourage you, but to tell you that the general trend cannot be violated. The world and the court are not the same thing. How many dynasties have changed since Xia Yu established the dynasty? The world is still this world! Those who are capable will live in it! "
Sun Lei looked at Han Shizhong and said, he was not going to force Han Shizhong to stay, he just wanted to tell Han Shizhong a truth, and Yu Zhong also had to weigh whether it was worth it.
"I'll leave tomorrow. Hongyu may have to stay here for a while."
Han Shizhong was silent for a while before speaking.
"These are all trivial matters. You do your thing, and I, Liangshan, will not embarrass a woman."
Sun Lei nodded and said, even if he was an enemy, he would not use a woman to threaten him.
"Thank you!"
Han Shizhong clasped his fists in gratitude. (End of chapter)
