Chapter 054 Juyi Hall

Although Sun Liujin, who was tied up, had some struggles and scolding, he was not forced to turn around and do it directly. He knew very well that even if he took action, he could not escape. Wang Qiang, who did not show any struggle or scolding, was quite calm. Before he came, he had already put life and death aside. With a clear mind, he felt that maybe things would turn around. After all, Zhou Long did not directly order people to kill himself and dig out his heart to make sobering soup. In a moment, Sun Liujin, Wang Qiang was escorted out of the charity hall by a small leader of a mountain thief and eight mountain thieves led by him.

Zhou Long, sitting in the main seat, looked around, leaned his back on the chair, and said blankly, "What do you think of this court's recruitment? Lao San, please tell me your opinion first.

The third mountain thief thought about it and said, "We have been on this Erlong Mountain for more than 30 years. In the past 30 years, the government has carried out an early and unclear number of times, and the results are all the same. We still occupy the whole Erlong Mountain. In my opinion, they couldn't beat us, so they used this court's method of recruiting.

As soon as he finished his words, there were cheers in the gathering hall. The mountain thieves are very proud of this. After all, the officers and soldiers of the imperial court have nothing to do with them. In their opinion, this kind of court's recruitment is a manifestation of disguised compromise and defeat to them.

"Quiet down." Zhou Long, who didn't smile, touched his chin and said, "Lao Wu, tell me what you think."

Lao Wu, a mountain thief who stood up, said solemnly, "It is difficult for me to judge whether it is true or false for the imperial court. If they deceive us down the mountain in the way of recruiting security and set up an ambush to encircle and suppress us earlier, it will be troublesome. If this is true, I personally think it's a good thing. After all, we are not forced to go up the mountain to fall grass. To put it in frustration, we big leaders will always have an old day, and cottages can't always exist in this way.

Lao Si, the mountain thief who drank all the wine in the bowl, suddenly stood up and said, "Lao Wu, don't forget how many lives we are carrying. Will the court let us go so easily? In my opinion, this is a pre-set situation for the lives of our brothers. Brother, don't believe the nonsense of the court.

Lao Wu, a mountain thief who didn't agree, slowly continued his personal analysis: "If this is really an opportunity, why do we have to stay on the Lianglong Mountain? As far as I know, Lin Zimo, the governor of Xunzhou, is not a soft egg. Since he can kill Liu Tiger and others in the city, it can be seen that his character belongs to the tough category. If he really wants to destroy us, he will definitely send a large number of officers and troops to attack. In this situation where there was no fight, he sent someone to lobby our court about the recruitment of peace, which shows that he did have this intention. He is just a magistrate, not an emperor. Not necessarily, he doesn't know how to feel uncomfortable in his heart, and he is eager to eliminate us to help him get promoted and make a fortune.

Lao Liu, a mountain thief who couldn't sit still, stood up and said, "I agree with the fifth brother. According to common sense, their officers and soldiers have to fight with us first and find that we are powerful, and they will eventually send people to make peace with us. Now, nothing has happened. Under normal circumstances, how can they destroy their prestige without fighting? If the court does not have the will to recruit security, I'm afraid that the magistrate of Xunzhou will have to carry the charge of having committed an affair with us. Is it possible that he, an official, cares about the life of the people and is willing to take the charge of killing the whole family?

Lao Wu, a mountain thief, nodded with acquiescence, felt that he was a bright-sighted person, and then continued to express his own opinions and said, "The fourth brother has some doubts, which is also an extremely normal thing. After all, I am not worried. We can't believe it just because they send someone. In any case, they have to show some sincerity, otherwise we will not only not accept their recruitment, but also resolutely stay on the mountain. Then again, if we obey the court, there will naturally be a lot of benefits.

Soon, the whole charity hall became noisy like a vegetable market. They are mainly divided into two factions. One faction is naturally willing to accept the recruitment of the court, while the other faction is determined not to obey the court and believes that this is a scam. The two groups of people quarreled so much that they had a red face and a thick neck, so they almost started to fight.

"You all shut up." Zhou Long, who suddenly stood up, shouted, "What you said makes sense. For the sake of the lives and future of the brothers, this matter still needs to be discussed in the long way. Lao Wu gave me six times, and you all got out of here. You have to get out and quarrel enough. This matter is of great importance, so let me think about it carefully.

Eleven big leaders walked out of the door and argued endlessly. They say that the public is reasonable, and the mother-in-law is reasonable. After all, everyone's position and starting point are different. They are not all for the sake of cottages. Each is always expressed with high-sounding excuses, and the real purpose is to realize one's selfish will.

Zhou Long, who saw them go out, walked to the front of the mountain thief Lao Wu and still said without a smile: "In their group, your brain is the best. The matter of the imperial court's recruitment is indeed very tricky. I have been on this mountain for more than 30 years, and I have known that going on like this is not a game. A while ago, I heard that the brothers in the green forest mentioned that the court had sent a large army to Guangxi to suppress the rebellion. If the officers and soldiers eliminate the rebels here, the next target is very likely to be us. We are a big tree.

"Big brother is really far-sighted, and I can't wait for it." Lao Wu, a mountain thief, held his fists and flattered.

Zhou Long, who smiled, continued to get to the point, "Don't just say something nice in front of me. We are going to have a good talk about the authenticity of the imperial court. Since there is a chance for our brothers to go down the mountain, we should grasp it well. After all, the life in the mountain is very miserable, and there is no comfortable and comfortable life in the city.

"If the eldest brother trusts me, then I will personally go to Guiping for my eldest brother and meet their magistrate Lin Zimo for a while." Lao Wu, a mountain thief, showed a look of sacrifing his life and saying, "If the court's recruitment is fake, I will die alone. Not only can the cottage be preserved, but the lives of the brothers can also be comprehensive.

pretended to be moved by Zhou Long, stretched out his left hand to grab his wrist, and the official made a wish: "This trip, you will suffer. If the court's recruitment is true, the first merit of the cottage is not his grandson Liujin, but yours. At that time, the two seats here will be yours. After we surrender to the court, you will be my only official.

"Brother, although I don't worry, I will definitely live up to my mission, and I must have heard the real situation of the court's recruitment this time." The fifth thief vowed, "I was born in Erlong Mountain, and I died as a ghost on our Erlong Mountain."

"Good brother." Zhou Long pounded his chest three times with his left fist, which was really touching.

Zhou Long, who poured two bowls of wine, gave him a bowl. The two touched each other and drank all. As Lin Zimo inadvertently expected, Zhou Long has long been tired of life in the mountains. The gold, silver and jewelry he had accumulated were enough for him to spend the rest of his life. The reason why he tied Wang Qiang and Sun Liujin was to see the attitude of his old brothers.

I am the big head of Erlong Mountain, but many things still rely on people with low hands to do, and there are still a group of people with low hands, so they must weigh and act again, otherwise they will not be able to live today. One thing that Zhou Long knows is that he hasn't slept in the past 30 years. On the one hand, he was worried that the officers and soldiers would sneak up on the cottage, and on the other hand, he was worried that his men would kill him and take the position of the master of the village.

Zhou Long, who is ready for both hands, will have to weigh it again if he sees a resolute opposition. He clearly saw that the number of people who accepted the recruitment was slightly higher than the number of people who opposed it, indicating that people were still unwilling to live a life of eating and sleeping outdoors, and their hearts were more inclined to live a stable and prosperous life. When he saw his own "supporters", he decided to take a look. In fact, Zhou Long's biggest worry is that the court did not sincerely recruit them, but used Zhao'an as bait to kill them. He knows what he is doing better than anyone else, so he has to worry.

After drinking, Lao Wu, the mountain thief said sincerely, "Brother, we still need to treat the messenger of the government well. I think in the process of going back and down, he will definitely need to thread the needle in it. As for Sun Liujin, it's up to you. I'm not saying bad things about him. If this peace move is done, this boy will not get less benefits from the court than you. At that time, if we recognized him as the eldest brother or you as the eldest brother, it would make it difficult for our brothers.

His words are to get the position of second head safely. After all, he is not Sun Liujin's opponent. The purpose of the mountain thief Lao Wu is to kill people with a knife. As for his willingness to take risks, the purpose is to win greater benefits for himself on the side of the government. Since Sun Liujin can come back safely, he believes that he can also come back safely.

In addition, the people who are still in the government in Shangzhai must not do anything to themselves? Even if the worst happens, the copycat side can exchange a hostage. After all, he went instead of Zhou Long, which is different from Sun Liujin's own decision. Although the mountain thief Laowu ranks fifth among the cottages, the things he gets are always limited. Eating, drinking, whoring, gambling, smoking, he often feels that the money in his hand is not enough to spend.
