Water Margin people

"But at that time, there was no way!"

Sun Li sighed. At that time, he went to the ninth floor of Penglai Pavilion in a daze. He had no choice when Sun Lei invited everyone. If he didn't agree, Sun Lei might turn his face on the spot.

On his side, his younger brother Sun Xin and sister-in-law Gu Dasao were all determined to go up the mountain, and no one helped him when they started, so he had to come down first.

"What do you think now?"

Luan Tingyu looked at Sun Li and asked, he had already guessed what Sun Li was thinking, but he couldn't point it out.

"Since I have a choice, I definitely don't want to fall into the grass, but I don't want to offend Sun Lei."

Sun Li sighed, now he is caught in the middle, and rescuing Jie Zhen and Jie Bao has become a trivial matter.

"Then it's better to delay. Dengzhou has to deal with Sun Lei. Sun Lei wants to win Dengzhou, so you tell Sun Lei that you are willing to be his undercover agent and stay in Dengzhou temporarily. As for the future, it depends on the situation."

Luan Tingyu thought for a while before opening his mouth and said, if Sun Lei has the strength to win Dengzhou, or even annex all places in Shandong, then Sun Li will vote for Sun Lei.If Sun Lei is defeated, Sun Li can also report on Sun Lei first to save himself.

"That's right, let's do it like this! Brother, why don't you stay and help me too!"

Sun Li looked at Luan Tingyu, who was actually in a similar situation to him.

"This……"

Luan Tingyu was a little embarrassed.

"Brother, even if you don't want to be an official, you still need a place to settle down."

Sun Li looked at Luan Tingyu and persuaded him.

"Okay, but Mrs. Gu's side..."

Luan Tingyu pointed to the courtyard next door, Mrs. Gu and others were waiting for their news.

"I have my own way!"

Sun Li patted his chest and said.

That night, Sun Li was in charge of city defense, but Zhizhou Wang Shizhong called him to discuss how to deal with the thieves, Sun Li made arrangements and left the city gate.

For some reason, the jailers and others in the prison city all drank the wine mixed with Mongolian sweat medicine. All the cells in the prison city were opened, and the prisoners fled in all directions. The prison city was also set on fire, burning down many barracks.

"No matter what you do, the thieves in the prison city can escape!"

Wang Shizhong, who was discussing the military affairs, was furious. The thieves outside the city had not been dealt with yet, and this kind of incident happened again in the city.

"Master Zhizhou, there is really a traitor inside, I don't know who mixed Mongolian sweat medicine in the wine!"

Prison City Festival-level Bao Ji knelt down and said.

"Take the sweat medicine? Then why haven't you been fascinated?"

Sun Li asked coldly.

"This... this... the villain's family... something..."

Bao Ji hesitated and didn't know how to answer. In fact, he had something to do with his family. He recently had a friend in the brothel, and he stayed in the brothel every night.

"Abandoned duty, damn it!"

Wang Shizhong pointed at Bao Ji and shouted, he didn't know who to take the blame for something like this happened in Dengzhou recently, now that Bao Ji has committed such a serious crime, how can he forgive him!

"Detain me, and punish me heavily!"

Wang Shizhong pointed at Bao Ji and yelled at the guard.

"Why are you standing still, why don't you catch the prisoner for me, if you don't get it back, you will all take the blame!"

Wang Shizhong yelled at Pan Shanyu, Sun Li, and all the other soldiers.

"There are no criminals in the prison city, who would dare to rob the prison at this time?"

Zong Ze frowned and looked at Wang Shizhong. No matter how bold he was, he knew what was going on in Dengzhou at this time. Wouldn't it be courting death to rob a prison at this time?

"How can I know so many things every day!"

Wang Shizhong looked at Kongmu Wangzheng who was at the side. Recently, he was busy with the exiles in Liaodong, and later he was involved with pirates. Kongmu Wang was in charge of the small cases in the city.

"There's nothing to commit, they're all minor cases!"

Wang Zheng quickly said, isn't the biggest case recently that he and his father-in-law Mao Taigong wronged Xie Zhen and Xie Bao, but this matter is not visible, how dare he explain it.

The soldiers in Dengzhou City were dispatched, and the fugitives were searched for in the whole city.

At this time, Mrs. Gu had already left Dengzhou City with everyone, and was heading for Salmonella Island in a small boat.

Salmonella Island.

"Brother, this is the treasure given by those families."

Ni Yun pointed to several boxes in front of him and said, the boxes are full of high-quality bead, raw gold, and coral.

"Tell them, sincerity, I have received it, and their ships can sail on the designated route in the future, but each ship will be charged according to the price of the goods."

Sun Lei nodded in satisfaction and said, these Dengzhou big clans were generous enough, how could this kind of fat sheep not be brutally slaughtered.

"Brother, little brother understands!"

Ni Yun smiled and left. Maritime trade is a hugely profitable industry. A shipment of goods to Annan can make more than dozens of times the profit, and a shipment of goods from Annan can bring back dozens of times the profit.

"Brother, I'm afraid those people in Dengzhou Prefecture will secretly send people to spy on the military situation."

Gongsun Sheng opened the mouth and said, opening the route seems simple, but the sea is so empty, it is so easy to control, it is too easy for the enemy to sneak in.

"I didn't think about controlling those ordinary fishermen. Arousing public anger is of no benefit to us. As for spying on the military situation, let them go. We will guard the archipelago. Even if the southern navy comes, we can't do anything to us."

Sun Lei shook his head and said, the seaside is almost full of fishermen who watch the sea to eat. Once public anger is aroused, it will only make it easier for Zongze to win people's hearts and recruit people.

Let go of the sea route by yourself and only ask those big chambers of commerce to collect money, and the common people will have nothing to do with themselves, weakening Dengzhou's military strength in disguise.

"elder brother!"

Not long after, Mrs. Gu and the others arrived at the barracks.

"Greetings, brother, thank you for saving my life!"

The two brothers Xie Zhen and Xie Bao worshiped Sun Lei when they saw Sun Lei Natou.

"It was Mrs. Gu who saved you, and she should be thanked."

Sun Lei smiled and helped the two of them up.

"Hey, why are there two people missing?"

Sun Lei looked at Shi Qian, Mrs. Gu, Sun Xin, Le He, Xie Zhen, Xie Bao, Zou Yuan, Zou Run, only Sun Li and Luan Tingyu were missing.

"Brother, Sun Li said that he wants to stay in Dengzhou as an internal response. Now that he is highly appreciated by Zongze, he may come into contact with Dengzhou's core military secrets. Luan Tingyu also wants to stay and help him."

Shi Qian said, he can't make a decision on this matter, he can only report it to Sun Lei.

Mrs. Gu, Sun Xin, and Le He lowered their heads. Sun Li made excuses because he obviously didn't want to fall into the grass, which made them very embarrassed. After all, they are all relatives, and they are also responsible for Sun Li's doing such a thing.

"Is that the case? That's fine. It's also good to have an internal response at the top of Dengzhou. Everyone has worked hard, so let's go rest first."

Sun Lei looked at the people who had just returned and said.

"Thank you brother!"

Mrs. Gu and the others breathed a sigh of relief, then saluted and went down to rest.

"Brother, Sun Li and Luan Tingyu probably have other intentions."

Li Zhu opened the mouth and said.

"It's normal. These two people are very smart. They are the best at judging the situation. They are wise and safe. Now that their identities have not been revealed, and Zong Ze is flattering them, they must have other thoughts."

Sun Lei said with a smile, it's not surprising that Sun Li and Luan Tingyu did such a thing. There are so many people in Liangshan in the original book, and in the end they died, so they can walk away.

Only the Dengzhou faction was an exception. Among the eight members, only Xie Zhen, Jie Bao, and Zou Yuan died, and the rest died. Sun Li returned to Dengzhou to be an official.
