Chapter 243 The Situation in Yinghui Mansion

While Li Yuan was handling Lingzhou affairs and preparing to enter Huanzhou, Lianzhou fell into chaos as Li Yuan expected.

The largest prefecture in Lianzhou, Liancang Prefecture, is where Tianlei Pavilion is located.

As the top power in Lianzhou, there are three venerables in Tianlei Pavilion, which are powerful in all directions. However, in a battle half a month ago, the master of Tianlei Pavilion and Master Xu were killed in the battle, and the master of Ice and Snow Pavilion was beheaded together, causing Lianzhou The situation of the five top forces in the state changed instantly.

Among the forces in Lianzhou, Tianlei Pavilion has two peak venerables and one mid-level venerable, so their power is the strongest. In addition to the largest Liancang Mansion, they also occupy another mansion, Liantian Mansion.

The Ice and Snow Pavilion, which is adjacent to Tianlei Pavilion, is ranked as the third force in Lianzhou, and it also occupies the territory of two of the nine palaces in Lianzhou.

Now because of the death of their peak lord, the other three major forces are ready to move. They have begun to enter the sphere of influence of Liantian Mansion and Ice and Snow Pavilion to compete for control of each county and city. Tianlei Pavilion and Ice and Snow Pavilion can only give in step by step and dare not They fight hard.

Because of the competition between the three parties, more and more people were displaced and rushed to Lancang Mansion.

The name of Song Jiang in Liangshan Village gradually spread to the neighboring prefectures of Licang Mansion. As a result, the first goal of those displaced people after entering Lancang Mansion was to seek refuge in Liangshan Village.

In just half a month, groups of people arrived, and now the size of Liangshan Village has reached tens of thousands.

And it’s getting bigger and bigger!

In Yinghui County, a huge mansion is located in the north of the county. The entire mansion looks particularly luxurious.

The Lin family, the top family in Yinghui County!

The mansion is an antique-style house with a spacious space. The chairs and desks are arranged in an orderly manner. There are exquisite vases on several desks and incense is lit on the desk next to it.

In this leisurely atmosphere, everyone in the Lin family was furious.

"Master, Liangshan Village is so audacious. They have robbed us. Our caravan of food collectors was robbed by the people from Liangshan Village just after they left the town and reached the county town halfway!"

The head of the Lin family, Lin Zhiyang, is the county magistrate of Yinghui.

In the center of the lobby, an innate master whose armor was broken and still had traces of battle cried, "We have worked hard in the past three months to visit five or six small towns and dozens of villages, and collected a total of 120,000 shi of grain. He was just kidnapped by Liangshan!"

The fourth elder of the Lin family looked extremely angry and stood up and said, "Don't Liangshan Village know that this is the food collected by our Lin family?"

"I told you, but they are not afraid at all, and they are even more arrogant and want to rob our Lin family's food!" The innate master said through gritted teeth.

"Arrogant!" The second elder of the Lin family was furious and slapped the chair handle hard. The chair handle was shattered instantly, and a grandmaster-level aura was revealed.

The senior leaders of the Lin family were also extremely angry. When did the Lin family suffer such humiliation in Yinghui County!

"Master, let's send troops to deal with them!"

"Yes, we must teach Liangshan Village a lesson!"

"Let them know who is in charge in Yinghui County!"

Young people from the Lin family all shouted with arrogance.

Several elders also agreed.

Lin Zhiyang looked at the group of angry Lin family members below, frowned, and said coldly to them: "Everyone, please be quiet!"

Lin Zhiyang's prestige was very high. As soon as he opened his mouth, everyone in the lobby stopped talking and quickly became quiet.

Lin Zhiyang looked at everyone coldly and shouted angrily:

"One by one, they opened their mouths to destroy Liangshan Village, and kept their mouths shut to destroy Liangshan Village. Do you know what is going on in Liangshan Village now?"

Lin Zhiyang was very angry inside. He was angry not only at Liangshan Village, but also at the Lin family!

Since the chaos in various states in the Dayu Dynasty, the imperial court showed weakness and could no longer control the states. As the top family in Yinghui County, the Lin family had a high income, which made the Lin family more and more arrogant. Everyone was arrogant and intoxicated in vanity. His expression Getting heavier!

Why did Liangshan Village dare to snatch the grain harvested by the Lin family?

What is the strength of Liangshan Village? Everyone wants to send troops rashly without understanding the situation?

In today's troubled times, if they are allowed to continue struggling like this, Lin Zhiyang doubts that the Lin family will be destroyed by this generation sooner or later.

The seventh elder's face remained calm, and he sighed to everyone:

"Do you know the current strength of Liangshan Village? The strongest person in Liangshan Village is a strong man in the late Tianwu Realm named Yang Zhi. He is quite capable of commanding troops. He has previously trained a group of bandits in Liangshan Village in a good manner. In this way, as Huicheng is the closest city to Liangshan Village, the families there naturally cannot allow Liangshan Village to expand. They once sent eight thousand guards to encircle and suppress it, and they even spent a very high price to invite a strong man from the Tianwu Realm.

But this Yang Zhi led thousands of bandits to repel the guards sent by Huicheng.

Now the reputation of Song Jiang in Liangshan Village has spread all over the country, and refugees continue to gather in Liangshan Village. Now it has become a stronghold for tens of thousands of bandits.

According to reliable information, Song Jiang has recruited three powerful masters to join him during this period, and now Liangshan Village has become a top force in Yinghui County. "

"What are you afraid of? Our ancestors are also in the late stage of the Tianwu realm. In addition, the Great Elder is in the middle stage of the Tianwu realm. The five masters are much stronger than them. And our Lin family has already raised eight thousand private soldiers. How can we not deal with them? !" An arrogant young man said with dissatisfaction, is the Lin family still afraid of a mere copycat?

This person's name is Lin Ze, Lin Zhiyang's youngest son.

"Asshole! You idiot!"

With an angry shout, the entire lobby shook.

When Lin Zhiyang heard Lin Ze's words, he was furious and furious.

"Dad, what are you doing?"

When Lin Ze saw Lin Zhiyang getting so angry, he immediately screamed in grievance.

His father used to love him the most.

"Baby, you'd better stop talking, don't make father more angry for your stupid head!"

On the side, Lin Feng, the eldest son of the Lin family, looked at Lin Ze and said coldly, with faint excitement in his eyes.

In the past, his father loved Lin Ze very much. Lin Feng felt completely threatened. He was deeply afraid that his father would let him become the young master of the Lin family in the future. Seeing Lin Ze being scolded, he was very happy in his heart.

"That's right, Lao Ba, don't you understand what father and the Seventh Elder mean? Even if our Lin family can handle the current strength of Liangshan Village, we will still suffer heavy losses. What if other forces attack us?" The second son of the Lin family asked. road.

Everyone around them nodded. In these troubled times, who would dare to rush into a fight with a force and let others take advantage?

Lin Ze was still unconvinced and said: "Then our Lin family should let Liangshan Village be robbed and do nothing. Wouldn't it make people laugh out loud!"

Lin Ze's words indeed made sense, and many elders nodded one after another. As a top family, what they valued most was their face. How could they not avenge such a huge insult!

The seventh elder looked at Lin Zhiyang and said, "Master, didn't Lu Junyi say he was going to suppress Liangshan Village before? Why haven't he gone after a month?"

Everyone also looked at Lin Zhiyang. The newly arrived Lu Junyi was like thunder to their ears. The genius sent by Zhongzhou had a terrifying cultivation level at such a young age, and he had reached the peak of the Tianwu Realm!

This is stronger than my ancestor!

After hearing the seventh elder's question, Lin Zhiyang's inner anger slowly decreased, and he sighed:

"Before, Lu Junyi was forced by several of our families to prepare to go to Liangshan. Unfortunately, such a major change suddenly occurred in Tianlei Pavilion. The two peak sages, the Pavilion Master and Master Xu, died in Lingzhou, causing Lu Junyi to find an excuse. shirk.

Now there is only one Venerable left in Tianlei Pavilion, and there are major top forces outside competing for Liantian Mansion. Most of the Tianwu Realm experts in Tianlei Pavilion have gone to guard it.

Lu Junyi is a peak expert in the Tianwu Realm and was sent by Emperor Yao. Liu Dutong secretly reminded that Tianlei Pavilion's attitude towards Lu Junyi may have changed, and we no longer dare to force him. "

"Tsk, tsk, according to me, Tianlei Pavilion is going to provoke the King of Chu today. Just look at this, both of them are gone." Lin Ze didn't know what to say.

Everyone rolled their eyes at him, but no one refuted him. The incident between Tianlei Pavilion and Ice and Snow Pavilion was really funny.

And they didn't dare to take revenge, or even say a harsh word.

With the current strength of the Chu Palace, Tianlei Pavilion and Bingxue Pavilion are even more afraid that King Chu will send people to kill them.

The previous Ah Qing disappeared, and there was a terrifying Lu Bu. The deeds of killing two peak sages with a mid-level cultivation of Dharma Master Realm had already spread throughout the Yu Dynasty, and just hearing about it made me feel scared.

But the Lin family didn't respond much. If the sky falls, only a tall man can hold it up. In the worst case, they will seek refuge with the King of Chu.

Because they still care about their own current interests first.

The Seventh Elder frowned deeply, "Then how are we going to deal with Liangshan Village now?

Just let him go for now? "

"Impossible. Since Liangshan Village dared to rob us once, they dared to rob us a second time. The more they retreat, the more arrogant they become!" the second elder said with a cold face.

"That's right, if you back down from such bandits, they will become more arrogant!" The Eighth Elder nodded. He is an innate peak master, and he is only one step away from breaking through the Grandmaster.

The third elder said: ""Master, since Lu Junyi doesn't want to attack Liangshan Village, why don't we contact the Jiang family and the Sun family to attack Liangshan Village together. Liangshan Village dared to rob our Lin family's things. They would not have thought that Liangshan Village would also dare to rob their goods. "

After hearing the third elder's suggestion, everyone nodded.

"We can also unite with the Jiang family and the Sun family to ask Lu Junyi for instructions again. Now Liangshan is expanding step by step. As the governor of a county, he definitely does not want Liangshan Village to expand." The seventh elder also suggested.

Lin Zhiyang nodded slightly. He also had the same idea. Now is indeed an opportunity to unite all the families to solve Liangshan Village, so he said to everyone: "I will handle this matter well. You should do your part first. "

"yes!"

When everyone in the Lin family dispersed, Lin Zhiyang sighed deeply. For some reason, he suddenly felt a bad premonition.

In the past, when the Dayu Dynasty was in chaos and strife, Lianzhou was relatively stable, but now King Chu is about to take over the two states, and King Ming has forced the Fengzhou Alliance into a corner and is struggling to the death.

Lianzhou is sandwiched between Zhongzhou and them...

well!

What's the use of vigilance in families like theirs?

Lin Zhiyang shook his head, sighed with his eyes open, and could only take one step at a time.

……………………

Liangshan Village is now the largest bandit village. It is located in the east of Yinghui County and close to Cangyang County. It stands on the largest mountain among the mountains. Behind the mountain are cliffs and surrounded by high hills and rocks on three sides. The only way to go up to this mountain is A winding road, easy to defend but difficult to attack, with the potential that one man can block it and ten thousand men cannot open it.

At this moment, the gate of Liangshan village was wide open. When the bandits on these villages saw seven or eight hundred strong bandits pulling carriages loaded with Liangshan into the village, they all opened their eyes wide and cheered.

In the center of the cottage gate, the short and fat Song Jiang looked at everyone returning with a smile.

Among the group of bandits coming down the mountain, there was a stout man at the front, with a powerful aura of a master. When he saw Song Jiang greeting him at the gate of the village, the stout man walked quickly towards Song Jiang, taking a few steps to take one step at a time. , said with a smile on his face:

"Brother Gongming."

This powerful master is one of the only three masters in Liangshan Village, named Yan Xia.

This man had the highest loyalty in his life and was well-known in Liancang Mansion. Hearing that Song Jiang was loyal to justice and unparalleled in benevolence and righteousness, and was known as Timely Rain, he was curious, so he came to see what kind of person Song Jiang was in Liangshan Village.

After meeting Song Jiang,

It's great when you arrive, but then you can't go back!

"Brother Yan, are you not injured?"

When Song Jiang saw Yan Xia trotting over, he hurriedly greeted them. His first sentence did not ask them what they had gained, but asked about their safety.

Sure enough, Yan Xia saw Song Jiang walking up to him with a look of concern for him, and he was deeply moved, secretly thinking that he had indeed seen his brother Gongming right.

However, he suddenly remembered what happened today, and his face showed an annoyed look. He suddenly half-knelt on the ground and said with guilt:

"Brother Gongming, I'm in trouble!"

Song Jiang paused and quickly helped Yan Xia up.

"Brother Yan, what do you mean? Your business is my brother's business."

A scholar next to Song Jiang, whose name was He He, saw the grain belonging to the Lin family on the carriage pulled by the bandits behind Yan Xia. He was suddenly "shocked" and pointed to the marking on the carriage with a trembling paper fan in his hand:

"Commander Yan, you...are you robbing the Lin family of food?"

In an instant, He Yong's voice resounded above the gate of the village.

The cheers of the surrounding bandits stopped immediately. Many of these bandits were refugees from Yinghui County. If you ask them to say who King Chu and King Ming are, maybe they don’t know, but when it comes to the strongest family in Yinghui County, They all have impressions of the Lin family.

Soon these bandits who knew about the Lin family showed fear, and most of the bandits who came from other places also learned about the strength of the Lin family from the discussions of the surrounding people, especially whether the head of the Lin family was Ying Hui. When the second-in-command of the county, the county magistrate, was appointed, every one of them looked frightened. Since ancient times, the people have not fought with officials.

Now Commander Yan actually robbed the county magistrate's things.

Hearing the comments and fearful expressions of the bandits around him, Yan Xia's face became even more ashamed. He knew that his brother Gongming established Liangshan Village to provide a safe place for the suffering people in the world.

But now because he had offended the powerful Lin family, he felt extremely guilty towards Song Jiang and felt that he would ruin Song Jiang's hard work.

Song Jiang also heard He Yong's voice, his expression did not change, and he remained calm and helped Yan Xia get up.

"Brother Yan, please get up first. Brother believes that you must have some reason to hijack the Lin family's food."

Song Jiang also lowered his head in shame when he saw the strong bandits behind Yan Xia being discussed by the surrounding bandits.

After Song Jiang helped Yan Xia up, he spoke righteously to the bandits below:

"Brothers, don't panic. I, Song Jiang, believe in your character. You are my Song Jiang's people. Whatever you do, I will bear it with you!"

"Brother Gongming!"

Yan Xia and the bandits below were moved to tears when they heard Song Jiang.

"Brother Gongming, actually we don't want to mess with the Lin family, but the Lin family is really bullying. They go to villages and towns to steal food from people's homes. The money for food is not enough for one-tenth of the food. They force them to buy along the way, and beat them if they don't buy. , causing many people to lose their families and their families, and they also...

As a result, the people there were filled with resentment. When they learned that we were from Liangshan Village, they tipped us off one after another to avenge them! "

"I...I finally robbed the Lin family of food out of anger!"

Yan Xia's eyes were red and he lowered his head angrily.

The surrounding bandits heard what Yan Xia said, and their voices gradually decreased.

Why hate that iron cannot become steel? He said anxiously:

"Then you should talk to Brother Gongming before taking action. Our Liangshan Village is now..."

Then He Yong was blocked by Song Jiang before he could finish speaking.

Song Jiang patted Yan Xia's shoulder, smiled happily and said:

"Brother Yan, you did a great job!"

Looking at the surrounding bandits who were frightened and confused because of the Lin family, he looked around and said in a voice that echoed throughout the village:

"Everyone, I, Song Jiang, established Liangshan Village to prevent the people from suffering. I, the Lin family, are a force that harms and preys on the people. I hate them to the core and am not afraid of them at all.

Commander Yan did the right thing!

We just want to do justice for the people! "
