Water Margin: You dog official, you still say you don’t know martial arts?

Chapter 182 Li Da follows his heart and buys out his family ties [1 update]

This guy looks so much like Li Kui that anyone can tell at first glance that he and Li Kui must be biological brothers.

When Li Kui saw the man, he immediately put his mother down and bowed to him:
"Brother, long time no see!"

It turned out that this man was Li Kui's elder brother Li Da.

When Li Da entered the house and saw so many people, he was a little confused, but when he saw Li Kui, he couldn't help but scold:

"What are you doing back here?

"You come to burden me again!"

Li Kui's mother said quickly, "Don't talk nonsense, Dalang!
"Tie Niu is now an official, and he came all the way home to pick me up!"

Li Da sneered and cursed:
"Oh my god! Don't believe his nonsense!

"He killed someone, and I was forced to wear shackles and suffer untold hardships!

"Now I hear him and..."

Snapped!
Liu Gao took out a gold ingot that he had prepared for Li Da a long time ago and stuffed it into Li Da's hand!

Li Da's eyes were dull, and his speech speed couldn't help but slow down:

"...The imperial court's wanted criminals caused a commotion in Jiangzhou..."

clap clap!

Liu Gao took out two more gold bars and stuffed them into Li Da's hands!

Li Da's eyes were blurred, and he spoke slower and slower, and his voice became quieter and quieter:
"...Kill the government troops..."

clap clap clap!
Liu Gao took out three more gold bars and stuffed them into Li Da's hand!

At that time, Li Da’s eyes went dark and he felt like he was suffocating from oxygen!
One ingot of gold weighs ten taels, and six ingots of gold weigh sixty taels!
Sixty taels of gold, he couldn't spend it all in his lifetime!
Li Da originally wanted to stop saying bad things about Li Kui, but then he changed his mind:
If I say one more word, should Liu Gao give me four ingots of gold?
Human nature is greedy!
Li Da's speech speed became faster and faster, and his voice became louder and louder as his desires grew rapidly:

"…The day before yesterday, the official document for the transfer to Jiangzhou arrived…"

clap clap clap!
However, what Li Da did not expect was that Liu Gao not only did not give it to him this time, but took it back!
And he took three gold bars from him at once!

Li Da hurriedly wanted to snatch it back!
As a result, as soon as he stretched out his hand, Lu Zhishen's vicious look intimidated him!
Although it was the first time that Li Da met Lu Zhishen, one could tell from Lu Zhishen's aura that he was a murderer!

At that time, all the hairs on Li Da's body stood up!
The hand that was stretched out retracted inch by inch...

Li Kui's mother was anxious:

"Da Lang, what does the official document say?"

Li Da opened his mouth to speak, but Liu Gao had already reached out and grabbed the two gold bars in his hand!

Do not--

Li Da hurriedly clenched the gold and looked at Liu Gao.

Liu Gao raised his eyebrows at him:
Just tell me, if I don’t take back the gold, I lose!
Li Da looked at Lu Zhishen timidly again.

Lu Zhishen glared at Li Da, frightening him so much that he trembled all over!

After being stunned for two seconds, Li Da finally came to his senses:
"The official document said...they had the wrong person..."

Liu Gao then withdrew his hand and looked at Li Da with encouragement:

Keep going, I’m rooting for you!

Li Da looked at Lu Zhishen timidly again.

Lu Zhishen nodded and smiled.

Li Da breathed a sigh of relief.

People tend to seek benefits and avoid harm, and Li Da is no exception, so he continued to edit carefully:

“…They also said that Tie Niu was a skilled martial artist and was highly regarded by the prefect!

"The prefect even gave him an official position!"

Liu Gao gave a thumbs up vigorously:

Pretty!

Li Da was flattered and nodded:
It’s all thanks to the great official’s good teaching!

Liu Gao winked at Li Kui again, and Li Kui laughed and said:
"Mom, you should believe it this time, right?"

"I believe it!"

Li Kui's mother smiled happily:

"That's so good!
"Da Lang, why don't you go too!

"Let's all follow Tie Niu to enjoy a good life!" Should I... go too?
Li Da looked at Liu Gao and then at Lu Zhishen cautiously.

Liu Gao shrugged: It’s up to you whether to go or not!

Just don't sabotage me!

"Well……"

Li Da hesitated.

It is impossible not to be tempted when holding the hard yellow gold in your hands.

But Li Da knew that the official position was fake. The official document from Jiangzhou said that Li Kui was a fugitive criminal...

As an honest man, Li Da finally felt that it was more practical to stay in his hometown and work hard.

So Li Da only hesitated for a moment before deciding:
"Mom, you also know how well the rich man's family treats me!

"I'm used to being a long-term worker in a rich man's house, and I really can't bear to leave!
"Just go and enjoy your life with Tie Niu!"

This is also the decision made by Li Da in the original book.

He ran to the rich man's house to report Li Kui's movements, and led a dozen farmhands back home to capture Li Kui.

Li Kui had already carried his mother away, and left a fifty-liang silver ingot on the bed for Li Da.

When Li Da saw the large silver ingot, he thought to himself:
"Where did Tie Niu hide the silver he left behind on his mother's back?
"It must be someone from Liangshanpo who came with him. If I chase him, he will be killed.

"If he wants to carry his mother on his back, he must go to the mountain village to have fun."

So he hid the fifty ounces of silver and said to the farmhands:
"This iron ox carried my mother on its back, and I don't know which way it went.

"The paths here are very complicated. How can we chase him away?"

After coaxing those farmhands away, Li Da continued to live his life in Baizhang Village, Yishui County.

These fifty taels of silver could be considered as buying out the love between him and his mother, and between him and his brother.

From then on, Li Da never appeared in the original work again.

Seeing Li Da say this, Liu Gao nodded:
Well, buying out the family ties is also a way to end it.

So Li Kui carried his mother out on his back and got on the carriage. Liu Gao suddenly realized something was wrong:

The carriage is for you, what should I sit in?
After a slight hesitation, Liu Gao pulled Li Kui over and whispered a few words to him.

Li Kui drove the carriage and took his mother in front.

Lu Zhishen and Hu Sanniang were riding in the middle.

Dai Zong accompanied Liu Gao at the end.

Seeing Liu Gao and his men leave just like that, Li Da, holding the three gold bars in his hands, regretted it so much!
If I had known this earlier, I wouldn’t be so greedy!

Wouldn't it be great if you could stop when you have six gold bars?
Now I only have three ingots of gold left, and I have to be frugal, otherwise I'm afraid I won't be able to eat for a lifetime...

Li Da had thought about asking Liu Gao to return the three ingots of gold, but seeing that Lu Zhishen had given up:

Can't afford to offend, can't afford to offend...

……

In a village inn, Liu Gao and Li Kui met up. After eating and drinking, Liu Gao pulled Dai Zong over:
"Brother, can your magic move lead others?"

"can!"

Dai Zong introduced Liu Gao:
"I will also tie the armored horse to his legs, so that he can walk as fast as I do!"

Liu Gao asked again: "If I could walk 800 miles a day like you, would most people be unable to bear it?"

"Brother, don't worry!"

Dai Zong patted his chest and promised:
“My magical movement method is a Taoist technique and requires no effort!

"Brother, do you want to go first?"

"That's good!"

Liu Gao shook his head:

"It's not me, it's Li Kui's mother!
“I’m worried that she’s old and not in good health.

"It's been a tiring journey, it would be bad if she got too tired.

"Brother, let's walk slowly. Please take Li Kui's mother and go back to Qingfeng Village first!
"any questions?"

Dai Zong: Σ(｀д′*ノ)ノ
