Reborn in Liangshan: I built the strongest lineup

The battle inside the county government office.

Oh, or rather, this wasn't even a battle; it was a one-sided crushing defeat.

Dong Ping's men were unarmed, had just eaten and drunk their fill, and hadn't recovered from their playful state. They were no match for Ren Yuan and his men!

There were indeed a few fools who tried to fight back, but they were quickly suppressed.

Even if Dong Ping wanted to fight desperately, without his dual pistols, his fighting ability was greatly reduced, and he was no match for Ren Yuan and Wu Song combined. He was pinned to the ground!

"I really am the military commander of Dongping Prefecture! I will report this to the prefectural government when I get back! Don't think I'm afraid of you just because you're from Lin'an Prefecture!"

Dong Ping struggled as he spoke bitterly.

"Go ahead and report it, or do you want me to report it for you? You're getting addicted to pretending to be an official soldier, aren't you?"

Ren Yuan patted Dong Ping's face, took out a piece of cloth and stuffed it into his mouth, then signaled to the soldiers beside him to take him away and lock him up.

As for Dong Ping's two hundred men, they were naturally all tied up as well.

"See, the problem is solved."

After Dong Ping was taken away, Ren Yuan said to the magistrate of Yanggu County.

"Then you have to take them all with you, otherwise I'll be in trouble."

The magistrate of Yanggu County looked at Dong Ping and his group with some concern.

"Don't worry, we know what we're doing. You'll just get a little scolding, but you won't die."

Ren Yuan waved his hand, then asked Wu Song.

"Brother, you've killed Ximen Qing. Do you still have business in Yanggu County?"

“Brother, I have no regrets about Yanggu. From now on, I, Wu Song, am the leader of Liangshan, and I have nothing to do with the Song Dynasty.”

Wu Song shook his head. He really had no regrets. Although he hadn't found Old Zhou's granddaughter, he had killed Ximen Qing and the county magistrate, which was a form of revenge.

"Alright, Shi Qian, you sent a message last time saying that Ximen Qing was selling fake medicine and colluding with the Liao Kingdom. Does he still have a lot of things in his manor?"

"Anyway, there's a huge amount of medicinal herbs. As for money, I don't know, but it won't be a small amount."

Shi Qian thought about it and realized that he had been so focused on finding evidence that he hadn't paid attention.

"Your Honor, the ill-gotten gains of Ximen Qing's family belong to Liangshan, while the county magistrate's family's wealth is yours to distribute to the people as compensation. What do you think?"

“I don’t care. Ximen Qing sends money to the county government every year. Apart from repairing the county government, the rest is stored in the county government’s warehouse. If you, Chief Ren, want it, you can take it all.”

"You didn't take it?"

Ren Yuan was somewhat surprised; he was actually someone who didn't care about money.

“I’m not from Yanggu. I’ll be transferred there in the future. I’m here to add some experience to my resume. Besides, my family, while not a prestigious one, is quite wealthy. I really don’t need any of that.”

The magistrate said quietly.

"Even someone with your background can only be a opportunist, let alone ordinary people."

Ren Yuan shrugged. Regardless of his past achievements, this magistrate of Yanggu County seemed to be a decent person, one of the few good people around.

"Alright, stop flattering me, Chief Ren. Our deal ends here. Just don't bother me anymore. I'll report on what happened here in a day. That should be enough time for you to return to Liangshan, right?"

"Alright, then let's part ways here."

Magistrate Ren Yuanchong cupped his hands in greeting, but secretly made a mental note of him.

Once we conquer Jeju Island, we can invite this guy to serve as an official there.

"Let's go to Ximen Qing's mansion and ransack it!"

After the matter at the county government office was settled, Ren Yuan led his men to search Ximen Qing's house. Upon arriving there, he discovered that the Ximen family was already in chaos.

The news of the death of the head of the family, Ximen Qing, could not be kept secret at all. Now, everyone in the Ximen household is trying to seize the Ximen family's wealth.

Faced with this situation, Ren Yuan naturally wanted to help them, so he directly took control of everyone in the Ximen mansion.

You're all relatives, so don't fight over each other's things; it'll hurt your relationship.

Here's what we'll do: I'll take the money for you, and then you can continue to be a loving family.

Look how good I am, please call me Ren the Great Philanthropist.

“Brother, there are some people here who specifically help Ximen Qing handle those businesses.”

During the search of Ren Yuan's home, Shi Qian leaned over and spoke to him.

“Identify them all, then tie them up and send them to the county government office. Tell the magistrate that these people are utterly wicked and let him handle the situation. In any case, the whole county should know what they have done.”

"No problem, leave it to my brother."

After Shi Qian went downstairs, Hua Rong came over as well.

"Brother, the Ximen family is really wealthy."

How does it compare to the Zhu Family Village?

Not long ago, Liangshan destroyed the Zhu Family Village, which strengthened its own power. Then, when Hu Taigong of the Hu Family Village saw that the Zhu Family Village was gone, he directly sided with Liangshan and surrendered to Liangshan.

Ren Yuan didn't make things difficult for them. He let Hu Family Village follow Li Family Village as an unofficial force of Liangshan, take over the territory of Zhu Family Village, and continue to do trade.

The general manager of the two estates was naturally Li Ying.

However, there was one exception: Hu Sanniang. Hu Sanniang was unwilling to stay in Hu Family Village and wanted to join Liangshan. Considering that Liangshan did indeed have female generals at the moment, Ren Yuan agreed to her request.

"It's not quite the same. Zhu Family Village mainly has money and grain, while Ximen Qing's family has more than 300,000 strings of cash, mainly various medicinal herbs. After all, his family has been selling medicine for generations, and they have a lot of stock. It would probably take seventy or eighty cartloads. If we bring it all up the mountain, I think Doctor An and the others will be very happy."

“Take them all. So many medicinal herbs are enough for our mountain stronghold to use for two or three years. In the future, when Doctor An and the others hold free clinics, we won’t have to worry about not having enough medicine. Anyway, Dong Ping has more than two hundred horses, so we won’t have to worry about not having enough to pull the carts.”

Ren Yuan waved his hand and said, "That Ximen Qing has cheated countless people by selling fake medicine. Let his real medicine work on Liangshan."

At this moment, several soldiers of the Liangshan army were escorting Dong Ping, whose upper body was tightly bound (just like in the Investiture of the Gods), out of the city.

Because Dong Ping is the commander-in-chief, he cannot be allowed to stay with the soldiers.

"You're really messing around! I'm the garrison commander of Dongping Prefecture, and I'm on the same level as your general!"

"You'll be in big trouble for doing this, you know that?"

Dong Ping kept cursing and swearing, but the soldiers escorting him completely ignored him.

This left Dong Ping feeling very helpless. Why were all the people in Lin'an Prefecture so rigid?

rigid?

Wait, that’s not right!

Dong Ping suddenly realized that although this group of people looked like government troops, their behavior was really unlike that of the Song Dynasty army!

Dong Ping, who had served in the military, had never heard of any army being like this!

Therefore, they are not government troops! They are the bandits!

The closest place to Yanggu County... is Liangshan!

They are the legendary Liangshan Army!

The one who was leading the way just now should be Ren Yuan, the chief leader of Liangshan!

I was just wondering when Lin'an Prefecture got such a tall and imposing general!

Damn!

Thinking of this, Dong Ping suddenly had a plan. When he passed by several warhorses, he suddenly exerted all his strength, not caring whether he would be injured, and forcefully knocked over the soldiers next to him. Then he kicked over the other people who came to help with two flying kicks, jumped onto the nearest horse, lowered his body, and used his legs to tightly grip the horse's belly!

The warhorse, in pain, immediately took off running and quickly disappeared into the night.

"Oh no! Dong Ping has escaped!"

Unexpectedly, Dong Ping's sudden outburst struck the Liangshan warriors, who were all knocked to the ground and speechless. After all, Dong Ping's all-out attack was indeed very painful!

Once they recovered, they immediately shouted, and their comrades rushed over to provide support.

However, it was still dark, and Dong Ping was running as fast as he could without regard for direction, so he had already disappeared from sight.

"Quickly report back to my brother and say that Dong Ping has run away..."
