Chapter 4 Enrichment and Power
To be honest, after rebirth, Li Chongjiu didn't want to get involved in trouble.But on the one hand, he couldn't bear the death of these twelve people because of himself, and on the other hand, if he didn't get ahead, he wouldn't be able to gain a foothold in the cottage in the future.

Hearing Li Chongjiu's inquiry, Wang Junkuo turned his head.Under the two heavy brows, the two bright eyes stared at Li Chongjiu's face impressively.It is worthy of being a figure who will become famous in later generations.

Wang Junkuo looked at it so plainly, as a man with a black heart and countless lives under his command, he was not angry and pretentious.Ordinary mountain thieves, let alone staring at each other, would be trembling with fright when they glanced at each other.

Li Chongjiu looked at each other for a while, then withdrew his gaze, lowered his head, and said, "I've met my second uncle." This was not out of fear, but out of courtesy to elders.

Wang Junkuo smiled and said, "Little Jiu, it's just in time for you to come, let's see how Second Uncle can vent his anger on you!" After speaking, Wang Junkuo didn't know when, a leather whip was added in his hand, and after a flick, it was eight or nine meters long.

Suddenly, there was a sound of piercing through the air.There was only a slap, followed by an incomparably miserable cry.

Hearing this crisp sound, many unprepared people all twitched.

Li Chongjiu remained calm, looked carefully, and saw Wang Junkuo sitting on the stone, his body was motionless, only his wrists were shaking.And swinging this leather whip is obviously very long, a full eight or nine meters long, but it is very agile in flying and moving in mid-air.The two bandits hanging on the tree were torn apart by his whipping, and their bodies were dripping with blood.

"Second master, spare me!"

"Second master, I know I was wrong."

"Second master, come and do it!"

"Second master."

Snapped!
Li Chongjiu's face hurt slightly, it turned out to be a little blood foam rubbing on his face.This scene is particularly shocking.Li Chongjiu didn't wipe it, but still stood.And these two bandits were ripped apart, and the bandits on the side also showed fear when they saw it.

On the other side of the martial arts arena, many family members of bandits who had been surrounded for a long time heard that they were about to be executed, and they were all very anxious. They saw the two bandits being beaten.The wailing and weeping of the families of the two bandits was even more heartbreaking.But no one dared to curse the second master.

After finishing the beating, Wang Junkuo flicked the whip, the head of the whip squeaked, pumped the air, and returned it to his hand.

Wang Junkuo handed the whip to Li Chongjiu and said, "Come here."

"Yes."

Li Chongjiu took the whip and held it in his hand.At this time, everyone's eyes were focused on him.The bandits hanging on the tree were all glaring.

"The second-in-command hero is so good, it's fine to beat us."

"Young master, hehe, it's still..."

They finally took into account that Li Chongjiu's father, Li Hu's reputation as the head of the family, did not speak ill of him.Li Chongjiu heard these words in his ears, turned around, his eyes showed a bit of sternness.

"Shh!"

Li Chongjiu pulled away with a whip, and it hit a bandit, and a bloodstain appeared impressively.

"Straight mother thief! It doesn't hurt!"

The bandit had a beard on his face, and hung high on the tree with his backhand, but he was also stubborn.

Another whip!
"Haha! Hit me again, and I, Wang Mahan, will cry out in pain, and it will be unbearable."

The bandit provoked Li Chongjiu with his eyes, obviously he was a desperado.Seeing the other party like this, Li Chongjiu's eyes sharpened, and he immediately shouted: "Bring salt water."

Everyone gasped, their hearts were so cruel.

Wang Junkuo nodded, and then a bandit brought a bowl of salt water.After Li Chongjiu wet the whip with salt water, he whipped his backhand and lashed at Wang Mahan's body heavily.

Wang Mahan's complexion was contorted, and he raised his head at the moment, his eyes were about to split open, and he bit his mouth tightly, but he just didn't let out a hum.How can ordinary people accept this salt water and leather whip?Off the court, Wang Mahan's wife fainted immediately, and several people hurriedly supported him.

Li Chongjiu whipped more than a dozen whips, and Wang Mahan almost lost his voice at this moment.

Li Chongjiu changed his target again, he just beat the bandits with a whip, and took care of all the bandits without falling to the ground.At this moment, I could feel a pair of knife-like eyes glaring at me, if it wasn't for Wang Junkuo's fear.The bandit family on the side had already rushed up and tore themselves to pieces.

"Young master, why are you so cruel!" Someone in the bandit's family said.But Li Chongjiu ignored it.

Li Chongjiu gave the whip to Wang Junkuo, sweating profusely and out of breath after taking a deep breath, saying: "Second Uncle, my injury is not fully healed, and my martial arts skills are low, so it's only for this part." Said. After finishing this sentence, Li Chongjiu could feel the murderous look behind him.

Wang Junkuo took the whip in satisfaction, and said, "It's okay, when dawn comes, they'll all be men."

As soon as he said this, Li Chongjiu saw that the bandits all changed their colors, as if they saw strips of people hanging on the trees, swaying.

Li Chongjiu said: "Thank you second uncle, second uncle and nephew think that these people have learned a lesson, I wonder if I can ask you for favors and let them go."

Time freezes at this moment.Everyone didn't expect that Li Chongjiu would plead with Wang Junkuo immediately after finishing the draw.

Wang Junkuo squinted his eyes, and his face was about to change. Before he went up the mountain, this man was a well-known villain in Taiyuan County, and his subordinates had at least one hundred and eighty lives.Except for the head of the cottage, no bandits even dared to frown in front of him.

Wang Junkuo finally calmed down, and said slowly: "Xiao Jiu, these people who deserted you are innocent people. According to the rules of Qiqianzhai, they should be punished with wearing armor and wearing flowers. If I do this, It is also for your father, the discipline brothers who are in charge of the family."

"If everyone is like this in the future, what are the rules in the cottage?" Wang Junkuo turned sternly in the last voice.

The people around were trembling for Li Chongjiu.As the saying goes, who is not afraid of death, at this juncture, the youngest bandits burst into tears.At this moment, no one spoke out to reprimand him.

Above the martial arts arena, there was silence, and the bandits hanging from the trees all lowered their heads, as if they had accepted their fate.

Under the coercion of Wang Junkuo's momentum, Li Chongjiu raised his head and said sincerely: "What the second master said is very true. The rules of the cottage cannot be broken. As the saying goes, if you lose your head, you will only have a big scar on the bowl. If you can’t pick it up, can you make a note for now, let them die first, and let them atone for their sins later.”

At that moment Li Chongjiu cupped his hands and bowed deeply.

"Ask for the second master, hold your hand high!"

I heard Li Chongjiu say so.All the bandit family members outside the martial arts arena were wailing loudly, kneeling down one by one, crying loudly, and their shouts shook the sky.

"I am convincing the public for you! Since you don't appreciate it, forget it."

After finishing speaking, Wang Junkuo snorted and left with a flick of his sleeves.Several bandits who followed Wang Junkuo also left together.The thieves hanging on the tree thought they would die, but they were overjoyed at the moment when they came back from desperation.

"Thank you Second Master, thank you Second Master."

When the bandit family saw Wang Junkuo send him away, they immediately went forward and hurriedly untied the bandits.However, the hands, whether light or heavy, touched the wounds of these bandits, and these people couldn't help cursing as "straight mother thief".After all the bandits were lowered from the tree, their clothes were ragged and their blood was blurred.

The first person was that Wang Mahan just now. Among the bandits, he was well-qualified, loyal, and his temper was the most stubborn.He was the one who was beaten the hardest by Li Chongjiu just now.

Right now, the other party was standing in front of Li Chongjiu with a tall and burly man, with strong muscles and bloodstains all over his body, which was even more indescribably terrifying.All of a sudden, he raised his sandbag-sized fists and shook them in front of him: "Young master, it was our fault that everyone abandoned you and ran away before. We will not thank you for your kindness, and we will repay this kindness later." Of course Wang Mahan was not stupid, Li Chongjiu whipped them just now to save them from Wang Junkuo.

Just as the father in the family wanted to teach his son a lesson when he was angry, the mother went up and slapped his son loudly.Otherwise, once the father makes a move, it will never be as simple as a slap.When Wang Mahan said this, all the bandits behind him also echoed in unison.

"That's right, I'm the master of the family, I don't care about past suspicions, I repay my grievances with kindness, I, Xiaoliu, thank you here."

On the other hand, the bandit's family members also hugged their son, and their husband wept, saying thank you, Young Master, for letting go of the past.Seeing this, Li Chongjiu smiled slightly.

On the other side, the Shanzhai Juyi Hall.In the center of the Juyi Hall is a spacious nave, with small halls and corridors on the left and right.The middle hall is naturally a place for bandits to discuss matters and celebrate, and there is no problem in accommodating 60 to [-] people.

There are five delivery beds, among which two men are sitting on each delivery bed (Note 1), and the remaining three delivery beds are all empty.Wang Junkuo sat on a bed and said with a smile, "Xiao Jiu has done a good job, and you will look good to the boss."

Sitting at the top is a middle-aged man, sitting upright, with a kind face. He is Li Chongjiu's biological father, Li Hu.

Hearing what Wang Junkuo said, Li Hu smiled slightly and said, "The child understands something, but after this incident, he can finally take some responsibility."

Wang Junkuo nodded, and said: "Master, this matter cannot be rushed, and the eagle will take it slowly."

Speaking of this, Li Hu stood up and said with emotion: "This time, he was seriously injured by a woman from the other side."

"It doesn't matter if you lose face, you can get it back in the future. It doesn't matter if your martial arts are low, you can practice it back in the future, but all the brothers abandoned him at that time, and no one came back to save him. It can be seen that he treats everyone with indifference. There are a few of them who really see him as a young master."

Speaking of this, Li Hu sighed endlessly.

Wang Junkuo also remained silent, he knew best how Li Chongjiu was doing on a daily basis.The brothers in Qiqianzhai were able to tell Li Chongjiu to be the head of the family, and they were in awe at the moment, all because of Li Hu's face.If Li Hu was not around, there were a few people in this cottage who could really take him seriously.

"It's just that I spoiled him too much in the past, and didn't mention him a little bit less."

Wang Junkuo said: "Don't worry, the head of the family, for example, today's affairs, he has handled things well, and he can still make a difference."

Li Hu nodded, and said: "I hope so, this matter is also a test for me."

"If he doesn't stand up and speak for the brothers at this moment, the hearts of the Shanzhai will be scattered in the future. Without popularity and martial arts, how can he succeed me as the head of the family, it is better to take this opportunity to fight against him early, so that He went down the mountain and changed his face to be a down-to-earth common people."

"If it is a peaceful day, the way out is far more practical than our business without capital."

Hearing this, Wang Junkuo couldn't help but said silently: "The master is right."

Li Hu smiled and said: "Second brother, you are not a father, and you don't know the intentions of being a father. At this moment, I don't want Xiao Jiu to be able to stand out in the future and have a great future. Just buy the incense from my Li family, and that's it."

"As for the young master, it doesn't matter whether he is a master or not. After all, he is just a thief."

Note 1: In the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the top chair was called handing over the bed. In "Changgan Xing", Lang rode a bamboo horse to grow green plums around the bed.

The surrounding bed in Li Bai's poems is a chair, not entering a girl's boudoir and sitting by her bed.

In this book, it is still called the top chair according to the habit.
