Reborn in Liangshan: I built the strongest lineup

"How much can the wealthy man eat?"

Ren Yuan asked with great interest.

"Chief Ren, to be honest, if they were all of this quality, I would definitely want to eat them all. I just don't know if everything Chief Ren provides is of this quality?"

"This gentleman is trustworthy."

Ren Yuan waved his hand, "The reputation of Liangshan was earned by all the brothers with their swords and spears. No one would joke about such a thing."

Li Ying nodded. He knew about this. In the past two years, Liangshan had said that they would act on behalf of Heaven and uphold justice for the people. That wasn't just empty talk; they really did it!

I didn't even look at the surrounding counties. Now everything is peaceful and clean. Which tyrant or bandit dares to show their face? Which corrupt official dares to bully the people? Absolutely none!

Because if they dare to reach out, Liangshan will chop off their claws!

During this period, some ordinary people even took the initiative to give the things to those people when faced with such extortion and robbery, and then turned around and went to Liangshan to report them!

Then those people suffered. At the very least, they had to pay several times the amount in compensation. Those who couldn't afford to pay would be sent to the Liangshan labor camp to do hard labor, to atone for their sins, and to repent and become good people.

Therefore, the officials in Yuncheng now dare not accept anything from the people, especially things offered by people whose eyes are filled with eager anticipation. They absolutely must not accept such things.

Once they take it, then we're doomed.

Therefore, Liangshan now has a perfect reputation!

"Don't worry, Chief Ren. I can't speak for other things, but as for smuggled salt, our Li family has always been in this business. That old dog Zhu Chaofeng has been eyeing our smuggled salt route for a long time now. Why? Isn't it because it's profitable?"

"I'll tell you my secret today: my family's smuggled salt has four legitimate channels! And four more clandestine channels!"

"That makes eight roads! All eight hundred retainers of Li Family Village can carry swords to protect us!"

"Chief Ren, do you think anyone is more capable of eating this than me!"

At this moment, Li Ying was also full of domineering power, as if he had returned to the time when he was adventuring in the martial arts world!

"Good! As expected of the Sky-Soaring Eagle! That's tough enough! Sir, to be honest, if you hadn't gone back to inherit the family business back then, you would definitely be even more famous in the martial arts world of the Song Dynasty today!"

"Little Li's Flying Dagger can hit the target every time within a hundred paces. I really regret not having witnessed it."

"Chief Ren is joking. That's all in the past, all in the past."

Li Ying was naturally very happy to hear Ren Yuan speak highly of him, since everyone likes to be admired.

Moreover, both the Sky-Soaring Eagle and Little Li's Flying Dagger were indeed Li Ying's most prized skills back then. (When Li Ying was young, he ventured out into the martial world and was particularly skilled with flying daggers, so calling him Little Li's Flying Dagger is perfectly acceptable.)

“Sir, although you have retired, I think you should not let your throwing knife skills go to waste. There are too many people in the martial arts world who do not have any sense of martial ethics. Your throwing knife skills may reappear in the martial arts world one day.”

Ren Yuan thought for a moment and then said to Li Ying.

"Especially now, our business is so profitable, and there are many envious people. Within Liangshan territory, no one dares to touch us, but outside of this area, sir, be careful of those fearless desperados!"

"Rest assured, Chief Ren, if the goods are lost in my hands, then my life, Li Ying's life, belongs to Liangshan!"

Li Ying wasn't completely indifferent to Ren Yuan's reminder, but he had his own pride.

He felt that he, the mighty Sky Eagle, would definitely be fine!

He refused to believe that anyone would dare to steal his things!

"Alright, then, sir, this batch of goods is yours."

Seeing Li Ying's confidence, Ren Yuan didn't say much.

Anyway, to be honest, the quality of this batch of goods isn't particularly good; it's just average.

Even if Li Ying loses it, it's okay.

However, if the goods are lost during the first collaboration, then we need to consider whether we can continue to collaborate with them in the future.

……

After Li Ying returned to the manor, no one knew what arrangements he made. All that was known was that he missed two consecutive meetings of the three manors organized by the Zhu family, citing illness, and Du Xing went in his place each time.

"Hey, you rascal, is your master dead? Why doesn't he show up?"

At the joint meeting of the three villages, Zhu Hu, the second son of Zhu Family Village, felt inexplicably displeased when he saw Du Xing.

Maybe it's because Du Xing is too ugly?

"Zhu Lao Er, shut your mouth. My master is of the same generation as your father, so watch your words."

Du Xing and Li Ying had a very good relationship, and were master and servant, so he got angry when he heard this.

"How dare you, a mere servant, speak to me like that! You're asking for trouble!"

Zhu Hu had a fiery temper, and he immediately exploded, standing up, slamming his fist on the table, and yelling at Du Xing.

"I am a servant, but I am the head steward of Li Family Village. When my master is away, I can represent Li Family Village with full authority!"

Du Xing also stood up. Although he wasn't good-looking, he was incredibly tough!

"Just like now, I can be the master of Li Family Village, but can you be the master of Zhu Family Village?"

"If you can't do it, get out of here. Second Brother Zhu, send someone who can speak up!"

Du Xing's words made Zhu Hu's face turn bright red!

But he was powerless to refute it!

Because Du Xing is right!

Zhu Hu has no right to speak in Zhu Family Village!

"you wanna die!"

When Zhu Hu gets angry, he loses his temper and wants to hit people.

"Zhu Hu, go ahead and hit me. If your fist lands today, do you believe my master will stab you with a spear tomorrow?!"

"I am now the representative of Lijiazhuang. Your Zhujiazhuang is attacking me because you want to annex Lijiazhuang?"

"Try hitting one!"

Du Xing wasn't afraid of Zhu Hu at all. This idiot, go ahead and hit him! As long as he takes one hit, the Zhu Family Village will be in big trouble!

What kind of bullshit three-village cooperation is this? The Li family village has already refused to participate!

We are now cooperating with Liangshan!

What is Zhu Family Village? It's nothing!

"If he can't, can I?"

A younger voice rang out, and Zhu Biao stepped out from behind Zhu Hu and pressed down on his brother's hand.

Upon seeing this person, Du Xing's expression also turned serious.

Zhu Biao, the third son of the Zhu family, is a very clever boy, and his martial arts skills seem to be the best among the three brothers.

Zhu Chaofeng favored his youngest son the most and intended to make him his successor.

"If Third Master Zhu wants to embarrass me, then I have nothing to say. After all, he is the next leader of the Zhu Family Village, and his words carry weight. His status is indeed higher than mine."

"But your two older brothers aren't dead yet, Third Master Zhu. Are you trying to forcefully suppress your brothers? Do you think they'll listen to you?"

Du Xing said this on purpose, wanting to see Zhu Long and Zhu Hu's expressions and reactions.

Sure enough, although Zhu Long didn't say anything on his face, a hint of gloom flashed in his eyes.

Zhu Hu, looking displeased, pushed Zhu Biao's hand away.

"Third brother, let go! If I don't beat him until his face is covered in bruises today, he won't know how powerful the Zhu Family Village is!"

"You bastard, I'll beat your face until it's worse than a ghost's!"

"Come on, if you don't fight today, you're not Zhu Lao Er."

Du Xing continued his provocations while also glancing at Zhu Biao.

"Third Master Zhu, your words don't carry much weight in Zhu Family Village."

Hehe, I'm a pro at stirring things up.

I don't care about getting a beating, but your Zhu Family Village is going to be a real pain from now on!
