A certain person is the Heavenly Killer Li Gui.

Chapter 12

The shopkeeper came to the backyard, thinking that Butler Li had some orders, but saw that Butler Li pulled him aside and ordered:

"The big man outside killed Li Gui, the magistrate of Yishui County. He is an important criminal wanted by the court. I am holding him back here. You go to the Yamen quickly and let the news go, so that the county magistrate can send an official to get him as soon as possible."

The shopkeeper was shocked and nodded in agreement. Unexpectedly, as soon as he turned around, he saw Li Gui standing behind them with a half-smile.

The two of them trembled immediately. Butler Li forced a smile and was about to quibble when he saw Li Gui draw his sword and kill him.

"Thieves and birds!"

"It seems like you are not a good person. You are looking for death, but you can't blame a certain family!"

Amid the screams, the two men were killed on the spot and fell into a pool of blood.

It's not that Li Gui is suspicious, but that Butler Li's attitude is too humble, and he really doesn't look like a steward of a powerful local family.

Before coming, he had learned from Li Laoqi and others that these stewards did not like to see the heroes on the mountain. Every time they met, their nostrils were turned upward. Even if the leader of the village, Zhao Heitou, came in person, he would never look down upon them. Never had a good face.

When this person first entered the door, he looked like this. Although he was smiling, he held his head high and his eyes were filled with disdain. In fact, his attitude was arrogant.

The beginning of the arrogance in front and respect in the back was when Li Laoqi introduced Li Gui's name.

Unlike Li Laoqi and others who are illiterate, this steward Li must know Li Gui's identity.

Li Gui's current net worth is three thousand guan. Even if he tipped off the information, he could still get [-] guan. This is more profitable than any other business!
Li Gui didn't dare to completely believe even his "brothers" in the village, so how could he trust him, a stranger?

What's more, he tried to get away several times, which was obviously his bad intentions, and Li Gui wanted to keep a tight watch on him.

If it weren't for the fact that he was still needed to buy weapons and armor, Li Gui would have hacked this guy to death long ago.

Along the way, he kept a close eye on Butler Li. If an official came to arrest him, it was hard to say whether Li Gui would be able to run away, but he would definitely chop the guy to death with a knife.

Now that we have arrived at the store and have seen the goods, Butler Li is of no use.

Li Gui seemed to be checking the goods carefully, but in fact he was more focused on Butler Li. As soon as he moved to the backyard, Li Gui immediately spotted him.

He asked Li Laoqi and others to stop the boy who was about to follow him, and he quietly entered the backyard, just in time to hear the two of them conspiring there.

He committed suicide by himself, no wonder Li Gui!
It was just right to kill people and silence them, so as not to leak the news and attract the imperial army.

It's a pity that other people in this shop were implicated by Butler Li alone for no reason.

People in the front yard heard the sound and hurried over to check, but Li Gui slashed them all to death one by one.

Li Laoqi and others didn't know what was going on and were just stunned when they saw Li Gui wave his hand and ordered: "Block the door and silence everyone here!"

The few remaining blacksmiths and boys hurriedly fought back, but no matter how they were Li Gui's opponents, they were all killed in an instant.

"Brother, why did you kill someone with a knife without asking?" Li Laoqi asked in a trembling voice with weak hands and feet.

Of course, Li Gui would not easily leak his "great achievements" to these seemingly incomprehensible subordinates, and immediately cursed:
"Thieves and birds!"

"Butler Li is so clueless that he only fooled me with some scraps of metal!"

"Ordinary kitchen knives only cost thirty cents each. If this steel knife is really good, that's fine. But this bird's knife is worth three to five knives at most. How dare you ask for [-] knives?"

"If you don't show him how powerful he is, he will just think that the nickname of "Death Star" is for nothing!"

"You guys don't stop talking nonsense. Search this store and take away everything you can." Everyone saw corpses lying on the ground in the store and blood flowing all over the floor. They didn't dare to say anything at the moment, so they had to Do things carefully.

After a while of rummaging through boxes and cabinets, everyone was carrying a large package behind them. In addition to gold and silver, there were nearly a hundred iron spear heads, eleven pairs of worn paper armor, dozens of folding iron knives, steel knives, and prepared Dozens of spears.

"It's a pity that there are too few people to lead the people down the mountain!"

"This spear is too eye-catching and is inconvenient to carry, so I have to give up."

Li Gui sighed and reluctantly gave up all the folding iron knives and long spears with poles. He only chose steel knives and iron spear heads, wrapped them up and carried them behind his back.

It was a long night and many dreams, so Li Gui took everyone back immediately. After going out, he carefully closed and locked the store door to prevent others from accidentally entering.

Li Gui led the people in a hurry and didn't feel relieved until they were out of the city gate.

If he hadn't struck first, when Butler Li reported to the official, everyone would have been trapped in this small town.

Even if Butler Li didn't report the news at the time, he would probably report it to the officials later. By then, the officials would have known that he was in Yushan, and maybe the documents of the conquest would be sent to the capital city of Yizhou that night.

No matter how hard those corrupt officials work, within a month or two, they will see the imperial army coming to conquer them.

As for extravagantly expecting Butler Li to show his loyalty and protect him, that is the act of a fool.

Not everyone in this world belongs to Song Gongming!

Huh?
Thinking about it this way, Song Jiang's title of "Timely Rain" is really not for nothing. Everyone in the world likes this kind of person!

Sure enough, there were only wrong names, not wrong nicknames.

Frankly speaking, before Song Jiang became the boss of Liangshan, everything he did was fully worthy of his nickname.

The fact that he was able to be worshiped by others was not something he got for nothing, but was earned by selling favors for more than ten years.

But after becoming the boss of Liangshan...

All I can say is that people change!

When I was a minor official, all I sold was favors from the court, which were not used in vain.

But after I become the boss, all these benefits are my own, but I can’t give them to others at will, I have to sell them at a good price!

In today's world, the only ones who can afford a good price are the Zhao Song family.

It's a pity that his position is too low and his eyesight is too shallow. He thinks that by serving the Song Dynasty loyally, he can get a wife and a shadow. But he doesn't know that he has never even been to Donghua Gate, how can he be favored by the officials? ?
In the eyes of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, he was no different from other thieves and bandits, and the courtiers might even be more disdainful of him than those rebel thieves who ascended the throne and became king.

After all, he and his Liangshan bandits were the only ones who were recruited by the three melons and two jujubes.

After such a huge momentum, only a fifth-grade official was left, which is really not worth it.

Anyway, in Li Gui's view, recruitment is something that can only be done when you can't win or you need to recuperate. Only when you can win, a fool will surrender!
Even if the recruitment is successful, we must preserve our strength and never let it be split up.

Only when you have soldiers and generals in your hands can you have the capital to negotiate. If you have nothing else, you can only be at the mercy of others.

The group hurriedly hurriedly and slowly returned to Yushan before dark.
