Reborn in Liangshan: I built the strongest lineup
Chapter 51: If negotiations fail, then let's fight!
Li Kui's capture put Chao Gai and his men in a passive position.
Chao Gai wanted to throw the bowl in his hand to the ground several times, but he hesitated because of Li Kui's current appearance.
"Chao Gai! Tell me, where should I sit now?"
Ren Yuan was no longer giving Chao Gai any face, addressing him by his full name instead of "Heavenly King," which was a prelude to a complete breakdown in relations.
"Or, let's flip the table and nobody sits down!"
With a flash of silver light, Ren Yuan kicked the end of the three-pointed sword, caught the hilt in mid-air, turned around and twirled the sword, then with a powerful split, he cleaved the table in two!
"Enough, Ren Yuan! How dare you! Do you think I'm afraid of you!"
Chao Gai was also angry; Ren Yuan was slapping him in the face! He slammed the wine bowl to the ground! In an instant, forty or fifty axemen rushed out from behind the three-sided screen.
Ren Yuan looked up and realized with a start that the leader was the very person who had tried to take his weapon earlier.
"Looks like there's nothing more to say. It wouldn't be right if we didn't have a fight today! This steward isn't one of your servants, is he? State your name!"
"Hmph! I am Lei Heng, the head constable of Yuncheng County! You Liangshan bandits, why don't you surrender at once!"
Lei Heng seemed to have recovered by now, holding a broadsword in his hand, leading the group of axemen to block the door.
"Lei Heng..."
Ren Yuan sized him up.
This Lei Heng is quite interesting.
Lei Heng, the Winged Tiger, according to the book, used to slaughter cattle and lend money at high interest rates in his early years. Later, he became a constable. He was quite loyal and, although he was rather narrow-minded, he was especially filial to his mother.
However, as a captain, this guy's conduct is clearly somewhat inadequate, especially compared to his good friend Zhu Tongyi, the difference is quite significant.
As for martial arts... he was about the same as Liu Tang, or even a little worse, because he remembered that the original novel said that Wu Yong separated the two of them because he was afraid that Lei Heng would suffer a loss if he continued to fight.
"Commander Lei, Liangshan has never offended Yuncheng, has it? Is your visit here on your own initiative, or on behalf of Yuncheng County?"
Ren Yuan held a three-pointed knife in one hand, and although he was surrounded, he looked calm and composed.
“You bandits have committed heinous crimes in Xixi Village, and everyone has the right to kill you! As an official, I cannot let you go!”
Lei Heng immediately launched into a huge accusation.
"joke!"
Ren Yuan said with great disdain:
"When the previous headman of Xixi Village was involved in the Water Ghost and River God case, harmed young boys and girls, seized the people's land, bullied men and women, and caused the people's families to be destroyed, why didn't you say that he did something heinous? When Liangshan killed him, the people applauded and cheered. How could he have done anything heinous?"
"Isn't it because my Liangshan killed him that you can no longer get any benefits from him, and you're resentful, so you want to wipe us out? What kind of righteous official are you pretending to be in front of me?"
"What, now that your yamen's dirty deeds of colluding with others have been discovered, you're going to save face? How much is your face worth?"
"Lei Heng, listen up! You may not care about the lives of ordinary people, but Liangshan will! You won't kill the tyrants and gentry, but Liangshan will! We act on behalf of Heaven! We eliminate evil and protect the innocent! This is Liangshan!"
These words left Lei Heng speechless. His words were never sharp enough, and Ren Yuan's statement was true, leaving him unable to refute them.
Upon hearing this, Liu Tang, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but want to say "Good!"
He only gave up when he realized that he was now an enemy of Liangshan.
"Chao Gai! I ask you, if you were in that position, would you kill that village head of Xixi? Answer with your conscience!"
Ren Yuan turned to Chao Gai and asked.
"Ren Yuan, you..."
Wu Yong sensed something was wrong and quickly tried to say something.
"Wu Yong, shut up! I am the master of Liangshan, are you the master of Chao Family Manor? If not, get out of here!"
Ren Yuan glared at Wu Yong, who felt as if he were being stared at by a ferocious beast and took several steps back.
"Chao Gai! Don't make me look down on you! Is this all the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King is? You can't even follow your own heart? Then you might as well change your name to the Dung-Bearing Heavenly King!"
"……kill."
Chao Gai remained silent for a moment before finally uttering the same word.
"Did you hear that, Lei Heng? Even Chao Gai would kill someone. So let me ask you, if he killed someone, would you arrest him? Swear to your mother!"
After receiving the answer, Ren Yuan asked Lei Heng a question in return.
"I...I certainly will..."
Lei Heng was speechless.
"What do you know? Stop stammering, man, get to the point!"
"Yes, they will inform the headman..."
"Hahahaha, did you hear that, Lei Heng? You tipped him off, yet you wanted to bring men to arrest me. Why? Isn't it because you're close to Chao Gai? So what? How much money has Chao Gai given you to protect him like this?"
"Where is your responsibility as an official? Where is your sense of justice?"
Lei Heng was rendered speechless, and even the axemen behind him fell silent.
"Brother, are these the officials in the government? Then this court is doomed."
Seeing his brother render the group speechless, Mi Sheng felt even more contempt for these government officials.
"Amitabha Buddha, so there is too much darkness in this world, and the people suffer too much. We Liangshan helped the people, but we were instead labeled as bandits, haha..."
"Don't listen to these bandits' nonsense! They're thieves! They're thieves! Take down these three! Then we can go and claim our reward! Chief! Hurry!"
Wu Yong didn't care about anything else at this moment and started swinging the copper chain in his hand.
If Ren Yuan continues speaking, some people in the village might turn against him, and then what's the point of fighting?
"That's right! Ren Yuan, stop spreading these fallacies! Come on, all of you, follow my lead!"
Lei Heng also raised his broadsword, ready to fight Ren Yuan!
Chao Gai also picked up his broadsword and looked at Ren Yuan:
"No matter what, you are all going to die today. I will offer you incense on this day every year."
"Hahahahaha!"
Ren Yuan and the other two exchanged glances and burst into laughter.
"Brother, does King Chao think we're doomed? What should we do?"
Mi Sheng continued to press Li Kui down with the axe, completely ignoring Li Kui's struggles.
"What to do? Simple!"
"If negotiations fail, then let's fight!"
"Chao Gai! Take this!"
Ren Yuan kicked the handle of the three-pointed sword, grabbed it in mid-air, and thrust it at Chao Gai!
"Let the Buddha lie down!"
Guanghui swept his bronze staff across, instantly knocking away three or four axemen who were close enough to get away! Then he charged into the group of axemen, like a tiger entering a flock of sheep!
"Release my brother!"
Mi Sheng also wanted to finish off Li Kui directly, but Liu Tang and Lei Heng rushed at him immediately. Liu Tang even threw his broadsword at his face to harass him! If he insisted on killing Li Kui, he would be injured!
"Humph!"
Mi Sheng was highly skilled and daring. He ducked down to avoid the broadsword thrown by Liu Tang, then twisted the axe handle and swept the axe blade out horizontally!
"Tear!"
When Liu Tang threw his broadsword, Li Kui used both hands to forcefully push away Mi Sheng's axe blade, and then quickly rolled away in an attempt to escape Mi Sheng's attack range.
But he wasn't fast enough! With a sweeping motion, the axe blade slashed across his back, leaving a long gash! Not only were his clothes torn, but blood splattered everywhere!
Li Kui's black face turned white in an instant!
"Brother Li Kui!"
Liu Tang was shocked and quickly grabbed another broadsword and rushed over to save the person!
Lei Heng immediately stepped in front of Mi Sheng, stopping him from continuing his pursuit!
"Li Kui!"
Chao Gai also noticed the situation and was greatly alarmed. He also wanted to go and help!
How could Liangshan have such a fierce general!
"Chao Gai, you dare to be distracted while fighting me? Take this!"
But what responded to Chao Gai was a flash of silver light that descended from the sky!
