Chapter 1114: Qingfeng's matter is over, rescue Bai Rishu
Before going up the mountain, Su Mingzhe planned to go to the kitchen to get some knockout drugs in order to achieve the goal of defeating the enemy without fighting.
As a result, when everyone came to the kitchen and saw the skinned and cleaned dead body and the chopped meat, the anger in their chests could no longer be suppressed.
"I'm going to chop these bastards to pieces!"
Lu Zhishen felt a tightness in his chest. If he continued to endure it, not only would he not be able to kill the enemy, but he would definitely die of anger.
"Brother, I'm with you!"
Lin Chong is considered to be a relatively tolerant character in "Water Margin", but at this moment he is also furious and infuriated by the evil deeds of Qingfengshan.
Chao Gai, Liu Tang and Hua Rong were equally furious and rushed out with their weapons in hand.
One hundred and eighty Liangshan soldiers formed a formation and immediately charged.
In this battle, no one held back.
After all, there is no point in holding back when facing a bunch of bastards who are worse than animals.
Jinmaohu Yanshun heard the sound of fighting in the mountain stronghold and hurried out to check. He saw a monk holding a Zen staff and rushing towards him. He shouted:
"Monk, stop being so presumptuous!"
When Lu Zhishen saw the man with curly hair and golden hair, he immediately recognized him and said:
"Are you the Jinmaohu Yanshun?"
"It's Yan!"
Yan Shun wanted to ask if there was any misunderstanding, but unexpectedly Lu Zhishen showed no martial ethics and tackled him directly, knocking off his "lion head".
Just then, Wang Ying also ran out. Seeing his elder brother being killed, he screamed in anger and stabbed Lu Zhishen with his gun.
Lu Zhishen did not dodge, but rushed forward, drew his sword and chopped off Wang Ying's head.
"Brother Tixia, let me go!"
Hua Rong saw that Lu Zhishen was a ruthless man who didn't talk much, so he killed both Yan Shun, the Golden-haired Tiger, and Wang Ying, the Dwarf Tiger, in a blink of an eye.
At this time, another fair-faced young man walked out of the Juyi Hall. Hua Rong quickly bent his bow and shot an arrow, taking down the last head!
The accounts with the three leaders of Qingfeng Mountain are settled here!
Thousands of minions saw that they were no match for their opponent and ran around in panic.
However, under the orderly encirclement and suppression of the Liangshan soldiers, they were all slaughtered in less than half an hour.
Seeing that there was no one left to fight with, the red-haired ghost Liu Tang spat viciously:
"What a bunch of bastards!"
Another half hour passed.
The crowd wiped out the three passers-by and called up the twenty men who were guarding the horses at the foot of the mountain.
At this time, some soldiers found the dungeon where the "meat" was imprisoned.
There are dozens of survivors in the dungeon.
Looking at these poor people, Su Mingzhe identified them one by one and found out that they were all pedestrians and vendors. He gave them some money and let them go down the mountain.
After dealing with the debris, everyone gathered together to discuss the reconstruction of Qingfeng Village.
Although Erlongshan had experienced a purge before, only the main culprit Deng Long and his confidants were held accountable.
Most of the Erlongshan minions were recruited and planned to be educated for two or three months before being used for their own purposes.
Although there are thousands of minions in Qingfeng Mountain, none of them can be used.
After all, they are demons who have eaten their own kind and are no longer worthy of being human.
In the end, about one hundred or eighty people were left alive, and they were prepared to do hard labor and dirty work.
It's definitely not going to work to recruit them.
Without our own men, it would be quite difficult to familiarize ourselves with and master the entire Qingfeng Mountain relying only on the two hundred or so people transferred from Liangshan.
After discussing for a long time, everyone finally decided to let Lin Chong, Lu Zhishen and Yang Zhi stay here to take charge, and also to ask Hua Rong to assist.
Wait for Su Mingzhe to return to Liangshan and transfer another 300 people.
With five hundred Liangshan soldiers guarding the area, plus the pass of Qingfeng Mountain itself, it would be almost foolproof.
Everyone agreed.
Day two.
Chao Gai and Liu Tang went back to Erlong Mountain first.
Hua Rong stayed for another day before going down the mountain with Su Mingzhe.
Before parting, Hua Rong looked at Su Mingzhe with a serious look: "Brother, you have more than 10,000 soldiers in Liangshan. How do you make a living?"
"Why do you think of asking this, brother?"
Su Mingzhe looked at the younger brother with some surprise.
We had fought side by side before, and our relationship had improved rapidly, and we had begun to call each other brothers.
Now seeing Hua Rong's determined look, Su Mingzhe had a vague guess. After thinking for a moment, he answered:
"At present, Liangshan has three major businesses. The first is the sale of private salt. Most of these private salts are refined locally in Liangshan. They are all top-quality snowflake salt. It is a business with no capital investment. It can earn 500,000 to 600,000 strings of cash a year."
"Secondly, we can run inns, taverns, carriages, and grain stores. Besides earning 300,000 to 400,000 strings of cash every year, we can also help Liangshan gather information from all directions."
"Third, there are some brokerage businesses, which make about 100,000 or 200,000 strings of cash every year. In fact, it doesn't matter how much or how little you make from this business. The main thing is to rely on these businesses to win over and maintain some personal connections."
When Hua Rong heard that the three types of businesses in Liangshan were basically legitimate businesses, and that they had an annual income of nearly one million strings of cash, he immediately said with shame:
"Brother, you have a good management sense. No wonder you have made Liangshan so prosperous! Just now I was wondering if Liangshan was like Qingfengshan, robbing houses and bullying the weak."
"I have been suspicious of you by judging you with my own meanness. This is wrong. I hope you will punish me."
Hua Rong said, then he simply knelt in front of Su Mingzhe and asked Su Mingzhe to punish him.
His four trusted followers also quickly knelt on the ground, not daring to say a word.
Su Mingzhe sighed and roared, then stepped forward to help Hua Rong up and said with a smile:
"Brother Hua Rong, you and I should be of one mind. I am really disappointed by your suspicion. However, we have only known each other for a few days. As the saying goes, ignorance is not a crime! I will remember your punishment for now! If you do it again in the future, we will double the punishment!"
"elder brother……"
Hua Rong was an honest man, and his face turned red and he felt ashamed after hearing what Su Mingzhe said.
Afterwards, the two said goodbye.
Su Mingzhe rode at full speed and returned to Liangshan in just three days.
In Juyi Hall.
Qiao Lie and Gongsun Sheng, uncle and nephew, congratulated in unison:
"Congratulations, my lord. Liangshan has added two more branch camps. Our Liangshan's great cause is promising!"
"Everyone, congratulations!"
Su Mingzhe laughed and ordered Qiao Lie to quickly replenish the troops of Erlongshan and Qingfengshan according to the specifications of the big village.
Liangshan established branch camps, divided into large and small camps. The small camp had 300 people and the large camp had 500 people. Every three months, they had to take turns to return to Liangshan for rest for one month.
It was thanks to such strict military discipline and regulations that Liangshan was able to control more than a dozen branch camps.
The discussion was over.
Ruan Xiaoqi stopped Su Mingzhe, with a little embarrassment in his eyes, and said:
"Brother, Brother Chao Gai told us brothers something before he left."
Su Mingzhe listened, without any suspicion, and just smiled and asked:
"What does Brother Tianwang want you to do?"
"Brother Chao Gai said that although Bai Sheng, the White Rat, betrayed us, he had worked with us after all, and we couldn't leave him to suffer in the Yuncheng prison. So, Brother Chao Gai told the three of us brothers to think of a way to rescue Bai Sheng!"
As Ruan Xiaoqi spoke, he took out a thick package from his pocket and placed it in front of Su Mingzhe:
"The gold and silver here were also left by Brother Chao Gai. He said it was to help Bai Sheng, so I'm afraid it would cost a lot!"
"Okay, I know about this. I just happened to be going to Yuncheng for something, so I'll do it for you!"
Su Mingzhe was very pleased that Chao Gai insisted on rescuing Bai Sheng who betrayed him.
At least it shows that Chao Gai is a true gentleman who is strict with himself and lenient with others, rather than a hypocrite who is good at talking.
Everyone hopes to be surrounded by a group of gentlemen rather than a group of villains.
Ruan Xiaoqi breathed a sigh of relief after passing on the task entrusted by Chao Gai.
Then, he reacted and asked in surprise:
"Didn't my brother just come back? Why are you going to Yuncheng again?"
Su Mingzhe smiled faintly:
"I am going to Yuncheng this time to make friends with a hero from our Yuncheng!"
