But when I want to repay the favor, I face a problem: I don't have money.

Erlongshan has not been in a short period of time, but it has not been able to attack the state and break the mansion to win a big victory and make a fortune, only robbing Qingzhou and Weizhou have long been plagued by the scourge of the limited limited rural households and two small county towns of Posan, what big money can it have. has never fought a major battle with officers and soldiers, and Erlongshan has developed to this day, and even serious weapons are in short supply.

In order to consolidate the foundation of the cottage as much as possible, in order to prevent the officers and soldiers from encircling and suppressing the long-term siege, Huang Gai spent all the money of the cottage on purchasing necessary materials from pirates. The pirate trade does not come to the coast near Qingzhou regularly, this time it is here, it is difficult to say when it will come again next time, and it will not appear again for several years, and the pirates simply do not look at the limited purchasing power of Erlong Mountain, but they will not come to trade for the convenience of Erlong Mountain. Therefore, once it occurs, it is necessary to purchase as many materials as possible and accumulate materials.

There is no money in the cottage. Chao Gai didn't have much on hand, and he spent all his money on procurement.

If you want to repay the favor, food is not a problem. At that time, Erlongshan robbed and harvested many ownerless grains caused by national disasters, and even purchased mountains of rice from pirates. The only thing missing is gold, silver, jewelry, and other valuable money. The debts of the Cangzhao family are also money, not grain, and they cannot use grain to pay off the debt, because the national disaster has a heavy loss of population, and there are a lot of crops abandoned, and grain is the most worthless, and the creditors of the Cangzhao family do not want food. What do you want food for? If you can't sell it, will it rot in your home? Creditors can lend money to Cangzhao, naturally they are not fools.

In this way, he had to borrow money, and Chao Gai borrowed the private property from his leaders, which can only be said to be borrowed for personal emergency use, and cannot be openly said to be the favor of Liangshan on behalf of the cottage.

Because the relationship between Erlongshan and Liangshan is private, only Chao Gai, Wu Yong, and Gongsun Sheng know the inside story, and they cannot be revealed to the fourth person. This is an agreement with Zhao Yue back then.

Even Wu Yong, a pragmatist who does everything to achieve his goals, attaches great importance to his own credit, which is the foundation of his life and will not lose his trust in others.

As for Liu Tang and other heroes who robbed the Shengchengang, they just thought: Zhao Yue did not allow them to stay in Liangshan at that time, but he did not turn his face and took the opportunity to fall into the well and kill them. They didn't know the secret, and of course they were not grateful to Zhao Yue.

Borrowing money, the performance of the other leaders of the cottage is not mentioned for the time being, only a few people who are more serious and have mothers-in-law.

Bantam Tiger Wang Ying seized the wife of Liu Gao, the dead ghost of Qingfeng Village.

This guy and the other two evil tigers in Qingfeng Village, Yan Shun and Han Bolong, are rich. The oldest bandit in Qingzhou Road. The Three Tigers, if Song Jiang needs money in time, they will definitely be more generous, but it is another matter for Chao Gai. Although Chao Gai is a good man who speaks like a nail, saying that he will repay the loan if he borrows it, and he is the lord of a mountain, but the three tigers are not active and unhappy.

The three of them were reluctant to take out a little, and Wang Ying took it very little, because the so-called wife he loved was reluctant to pay for it, and it was almost the same to collect filial piety at home, so how could there be any reason to take it out. This mother-in-law is gentle and charming to Wang Ying on the surface, but in her heart she is actually disgusted to death by this ugly, vulgar and shameless dwarf, wishing that Wang Ying would offend Chao Gai and be killed, and she would be liberated to get out of the mountain with money.

Because they took out too little, the three of them didn't think it looked good, so they got together and sent it away, which was a little less ugly.

Chao Gai looked at the small bag of broken silver and a little gold, plus a delicate silver wine pot and a silver cup that looked good, China has to pay attention to, this kind of silverware is a pot with four wine glasses as a set, the merchant does not open a single sale, otherwise no one wants to open the rest, but the three tigers only took out one, it could not be that only grabbed a silver cup at that time, sent this set of silverware, and left three cups reluctant to take out, this is really special. Chao Gai didn't look down on the three evil tigers who couldn't do anything and had worse character, so he despised it even more, but he couldn't make less, borrowing money, borrowing more and borrowing less was love, Chao Gai still smiled and politely thanked him.

Yan Shun and Han Bolong knew that they were not doing righteously, and they knew how to blush.

Wang Ying can still have the face to say that there is something wrong with the owner of the village, that is the matter of the brothers, what to say thank you or not. Chao Gai was so disgusted that he almost couldn't hold back his temper on the spot, smashed the money in Wang Ying's face, and scolded you fuck off. Everyone has selfish intentions, and they can be shameless, but they can't be shameless to this extent. What's more, it is a mountain of heroes who consciously put righteousness first...

Another one who has a wife, Bai Sheng, a day rat, heard that the boss was short of money and was in urgent need, so he immediately went home and turned out the money box and hugged it.

His wife was reluctant, saying that we can't help but show our hearts to the king watch, but we don't have to take it all out. But he was kicked aside by Bai Sheng for the first time, and scolded the girls to see, you know a fart, there is no Chao Tianwang, how can I Bai Sheng today. We've died so long ago that our bones and stubble are rotten. The king of heaven is angry, it is useless not to dislike me, if he does not abandon me, Lao Tzu will be righteous to the king of heaven.

Holding the money box and walking away.

Chao Gai was angry with Bai Sheng, who had no skills and was obscene, but he didn't take Bai Sheng seriously in his heart, and even looked down on Bai Sheng a little. But seeing that Bai Sheng had moved all his belongings, he heard Bai Sheng say with a face full of grievances: "Brother Tianwang is in trouble, why don't you notify the younger brother?" The younger brother knows that he is incompetent and useless, but he still has some money to help a little bit, and he does his best." And without the slightest distress and reluctance, Chao Gai couldn't help but look at this old brother who had been neglected.

The other has a wife, Yin Tai.

This guy is the richest of the leaders of Erlong Mountain, the old robber king who was very powerful in the Daimyo Mansion in the past, there are several large boxes of gold and silver treasures alone, but he only took out two hundred taels of silver, fortunately, it is all silver ingots, not scattered silver like the Three Tigers, and he picked up two gold ingots weighing five taels from the pile of gold, and wrapped it, which is considered to be borrowed money.

As soon as Bai Lishu, who robbed the wife of the magistrate of Baihu County and was the wife of the village, saw him like this, he immediately greeted her and grew up with her, and now she is a girl who is closer to her than her own sisters, packed up her things and informed her father and mother to prepare to move away from the mountain.

Yin Tai was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help asking, "Madam, why are you doing this?" ”

Instead, Bai Shi stared at him in surprise and asked, "Since the husband doesn't want to mess with Chao Tianwang, why don't you quickly pack up and prepare to leave?" ”

Yin Tai: "——"

It's not that he doesn't know what to do about borrowing money, and it's not that he doesn't understand that this matter is actually an indirect appraisal of character and righteousness, which is very important, he is just reluctant to make money, not righteous, and at the same time feels that he has the ability, not that he has to ask for Chao Gai, but that Erlongshan lacks a talented general like him.

Bai sighed lightly and said patiently: "Husband, how kind is King Chao to you?" Your skills are improved by King Chao's selfless assistance and martial arts. In order to further fulfill the Heavenly King Chao, you also took the initiative to ask Qin Tong to teach him some axe techniques. How much does the King of Heaven value you, and how righteous is he? You rank very high in the cottage, and your status in the eyes of the king is actually higher. You are doing this in the matter of money, what do you make the Heavenly King and the military advisor and the Gongsun Daoist think and think of you? In the future, they will dare to cultivate you and reuse you with confidence? Do you still want to be proud of the cottage? ”

Yin Tai said disapprovingly: "That's your husband, I am talented, martial, wise, and useful." The cottage needs me. How could I be distracted by the lack of status? (Maybe I can mix around and become the owner of the village."

Bai Shi looked at Yin Tai, who was self-consciously shrewd, in surprise, and held his breath for a while before he came back and sneered: "You are bullying Chao Tianwang Renyi, right?" Hehe, the king of heaven is generous and kind, and he will not easily deal with you, let alone do unjustice to you because of the trivial matter of borrowing money this time. Mr. Gongsun is a monk who is a master of the world, and he will not do anything to you if he looks at the world with a cold eye. But that Wu Junshi will definitely not be ashamed of you, will be suspicious of you, with that person's heart, how can he let you go, and let a leader like you become a hidden danger of the cottage? ”

"Hehe, the more capable you are, the more you feel that the cottage can't do without you, the more Wu Junshi will not let go of you who have a great impact on the cottage, and the more you are scheming, the sooner you will get rid of you reasonably. With his means, it is not much more difficult to play with you to death than to kill an ant. ”

Saying that, she shed tears and lamented: "That's it, that's it, it seems that I am this miserable life, I always meet the wrong person, I can't say that it is the broom Xingkefu." I'd better go down the mountain and leave you as soon as possible, so that someone as shrewd as you would die in confusion. I don't have to bear the burden of killing my husband's sins and sorrows. ”

Heartbroken.

Yin Tai gasped, not only feeling sorry for his wife, but also thinking about Wu's temperament and methods, and his arrogant and selfish and more conceited brain suddenly cleared up a lot

He, his younger brother Yin Chun and a few personal soldiers carried several large boxes and put them in front of the three giants of Chao Gai with a loud bang, and said: "Heavenly King, the two military elder brothers, the younger brother only got these things in the house, and the younger brother has such a little ability, I hope it can help the Heavenly King." ”

At this time, the three giants of Chao Gai had already somewhat understood that Yin Tai's thoughts hidden under the rough and brave appearance were extremely heavy, although they were not suspicious, but they no longer trusted and valued them as they did at the beginning, and they did not expect Yin Tai to be so righteous. It's already rare to be able to come up with a thousand taels of silver in advance, who knows. They couldn't help but look at Yin Tai in surprise, but then they all vaguely understood what was going on.

For the Bai family, although Chao Gai and them had no contact, they had a very good impression of them after only seeing them a few times. She was a smart, virtuous, and sassy woman. Yin Tai, the ugly ghost, is really lucky to get such a good wife, and it must be the credit of the Bai family to be able to do so in this borrowing money. Otherwise, with Yin Tai's temperament, it is impossible.

Chao Gai knew it in his heart and didn't say anything.

Gongsun Sheng also quickly restrained his exposed emotions and sat down calmly again.

Wu Yong couldn't help but sigh meaningfully: "Brother Yintai, you are blessed to marry a beautiful and virtuous mother-in-law." ”

The other one has a wife, Qin Hui.

He used to be the leader of the robbers of the Lord of a mountain, and he was also very rich, but what he got in front of the three giants was only about 300 yuan of silver, and I am afraid that it was not even one percent of his family's wealth. The Big Three were equally surprised. Chao Gai stared at Qin Hui even more in shock. In Chao Gai's heart, Qin Hui is a bold man who values wealth and righteousness, and he is brave and good at fighting, he has always regarded Qin Hui as a good brother who is good at leading soldiers and trusts him, and he has high expectations for Qin Hui, who knows.

Qin Hui was originally a ruffian of the Xiang army with high martial arts, but he was light on wealth and righteousness, even if he became a high-ranking officer in the state, he was still generous to ordinary soldiers in the army, so he could not save money, he was a poor ghost who had money today and money tomorrow, but he also had great prestige in the army, which was also the fundamental reason why he did nothing when Zhao Yue led the robber army to make trouble in Shandong and caused a rebellion in Shandong, but he was sincerely elected as the boss by the rebel soldiers.

Qin Hui's face flushed with embarrassment under the scrutiny of his six eyes.

After the three giants looked at each other, they all thought of the inside story: it must be the woman who did the trouble.

Similarly, Chao Gai and Qin Hui's mother-in-law Sui Mingying have no contact, but even if they have only met once, Chao Gai has a very bad impression of Sui Mingying's behavior, although he doesn't know or see through his ruthless and unrighteous essence of sucking the marrow Kefu and losing her family. But I also feel that this woman is afraid that it is not a good thing, and now it looks like it is really a...

Qin Hui was so embarrassed that he couldn't stand anymore, so he hurriedly hugged his fists and left.

Chao Gai looked at Qin Hui, who had fled away from the Baozhu Temple, and sighed: "It's a pity that such a good man. ”

Wu Yong twisted his beard and said: "I'm just afraid that this bold and righteous one-horned Jiao will be destroyed in the hands of the Sui clan sooner or later, and he will die a miserable death or even die without a place to be buried." ”

At this moment, he was trapped in Jiangzhou, and Chao Gai saw the precious other side of Qin Hui again, and his heart was not very good.

He knew that Qin Hui's wife Sui was not a thing, and he was worried that Qin Hui would be killed by his mother-in-law as Wu Yong predicted, but as the lord of a mountain, he couldn't say anything about Qin Hui's family affairs. To provoke the relationship between the husband and wife of his brothers, that is not what a good man can do.

Besides, it's useless. Qin Hui is infatuated with the old woman who is not very good-looking, just listen to that woman, what can you do. Maybe people are willing to die at the hands of that woman. Obsessed, dead without regrets, willingly. This is not unusual. If you kindly remind you, you are likely to be hated rather than appreciated.

The officers and soldiers were shot to death by a number of leading officers, and without command, they were brutally killed by Liu Tang and Qin Hui with the elite soldiers of Erlongshan, and they were so frightened that they couldn't help but collapse and retreat. However, Mao Li, the governor of Benzhou, quickly caught up with more soldiers, and immediately shouted at the command, and more officers led the team to supplement fiercely, which also forced the defeated officers and soldiers to fight back bravely. The dangerous predicament of Liu Tang and Qin Hui was not only not solved, but even more critical.

Chao Gai hurriedly rushed back with his own soldiers to join the melee.

As soon as he joined, the situation was immediately different.

The street is not very wide. With his and Liu Tang's two treasure swords invincible, coupled with the courage of Qin Hui, and Xue Heng, Zhang Xuanzan, and Liu Fu, the three cadres collected their bows and arrows and followed Chao Gai to kill them. The officers and soldiers broke down and fled again, and this time Mao Li couldn't stop drinking. He was furious, and he knew the crux of the matter, so he immediately changed his strategy and ordered the generals to go out and kill him.
