Do you have the strength to force me to join the Liangshan bandits?

Chapter 244 Shi Jin: Cause and Effect, Retribution is Inevitable! [3rd Update, Requesting Monthly Tickets]

"what?"

Upon hearing this, Li Gong became furious:
How could she have run away?

"We bought her for twenty taels of silver!"

"You heartless little bitch!"

Li's mother cried and pounded the ground with her hands:
"I passed on all my skills to her!"

"I was originally hoping that she would inherit my mantle!"

"Waaah, raising one isn't that easy!"

Li Gong angrily said, "I told you long ago to buy another one and train her to compete with her, so we'd have another option to rely on!"

"Now look what's happened, she's gone and taken all her gold, silver and valuables with her!"
"Is there still heavenly law? Is there still kingly law?"

"What do you mean there's no law?"

Just then, the dozens of men arrived and overheard Li's mother and father cursing and swearing:

Where is your daughter?

Li's mother didn't react yet and was still scolding:

"That heartless little bitch ran off with some other man!"

"what?"

The head constable, upon hearing this, was so enraged that he burst into a tirade of curses:
"Li Ruilan actually ran away with the Liangshan rebels?"

Why didn't you notify the authorities?

"Ah this..."

Mrs. Li was dumbfounded and subconsciously looked at Mr. Li.

Li Gong hurriedly said, "Master Duan, we don't know either..."

"Cut the nonsense!"

The constable glared at him fiercely:
“Li Ruilan is your daughter, how could you not know that?”

"I think you are deliberately protecting them, and you are probably also in cahoots with the rebels of Liangshan!"
"Take them back and torture them severely. They'll talk eventually!"

"what?"

Mrs. Li panicked and started throwing a tantrum:
"I'm innocent, Master Duan!"

"We did not collude with the rebels of Liangshan..."

These officials didn't care about her or anything else; they ruthlessly arrested the two pimps and took them back to the yamen...

……

At a village shop by the roadside outside Dongping Prefecture, Cai Fu and his companions woke up and were having a meal in the lobby on the first floor.

The only one missing is Shi Jin.

Shi Xiu, unaware of the situation, put down her chopsticks and said:
"Master, I'll go and call Shi Dalang downstairs for dinner."

Cai Fu waved his hand: "You eat your food, don't disturb other people's good time."

Shi Xiu was taken aback: "What good news?"

Everyone laughed, then Shi Qian whispered something in Shi Xiu's ear, and Shi Xiu could hardly believe his ears:

"Qian'er, did you go out last night?"

Shi Qian: (_)
Just then, a creaking sound came from the stairs, as if an old man was coming down.

When Cai Fu and the others turned around, they saw Shi Jin leaning on the stairs, his legs weak, trembling as he came down.

"Brothers, please enjoy your meal!"

Shi Jin, sporting dark circles under his eyes, carried the food upstairs.

Good guy!
Even the most virtuous men, who never showed interest in women, couldn't help but gasp in shock.
No wonder they say lust is a double-edged sword, and those who fall under a woman's spell are doomed...

After just one night, Shi Dalang was left with only half a life!

Lu Junyi couldn't help but worry about himself.

He was just as weak when he married Jia.

Fortunately, he discovered the problem within a few days, neglected Jia Shi, and focused on improving his health.

If I were to marry Cheng Wan'er again in the future, would I return to the terror of being dominated by women?
Just as Lu Junyi was filled with worry, a maid suddenly appeared at the door and waved to him.

Lu Junyi's face immediately lit up with joy: "Brother, I'm going out to see an old friend. I'll be right back!"

You've all learned it, right?
Cai Fu was speechless: Where did this evil trend come from?
When Lu Junyi went outside, he saw a carriage surrounded by burly family retainers.

Cheng Wan'er lifted the curtain and looked at Lu Junyi with a charming gaze. Lu Junyi quickly went over to her.

Cheng Wan'er placed a sachet she had embroidered overnight into Lu Junyi's hand, and Lu Junyi's heart fluttered...

Cai Fu saw this and felt that a virtuous and gentle lady like Cheng Wan'er was more suitable for Lu Junyi.

Like Jia Shi, that kind of flashy and shameless woman will definitely be able to fly all over the country in the future; she's definitely not the kind of person who wants to settle down. A little while later, Lu Junyi returned with a happy expression.

Cai Fu urged him to eat quickly, as the food was getting cold.

"Brother, how did you know Wan'er gave me a sachet?"

Lu Junyi excitedly showed it to Cai Fu:

"She embroidered it for me herself!"

Seeing Lu Junyi's excited expression, Cai Fu knew that Jia Shi must not have embroidered anything for him.

Cai Fu was naturally happy that his brother had found true love, but the sour smell in the air made it impossible for him to eat...

Fortunately, Cai Fu did not come away empty-handed; Shi Qian packed up all of Li Ruilan's family's savings.

Before long, Qiu Qiongying's whole family arrived and joined them. Once everyone was there, Cai Fu prepared to set off.

But Cai Fu was shocked when Li Ruilan came out of Shi Jin's room:

Why does she look so familiar?
Cai Fu didn't recognize Li Ruilan, but she looked familiar, as if she had lost her soul.

"Brother, look!"

Shi Jin held Li Ruilan's hand and showed off to Cai Fu:

"Brother Dao gave me a medicinal soup for getting revenge on women!"

"It is said that no matter how bad a woman is, if she is given this medicinal soup for a long time, she will become obedient!"

Cai Fu's mouth twitched twice secretly:

"This is no good medicine, don't use it on good women!"

"Otherwise, don't blame me for sacrificing my own family for the greater good!"

"Little brother saves it!"

Shi Jin quickly explained, "If Li Ruilan hadn't harmed me, I wouldn't have given it to her!"

"This is the cycle of cause and effect; retribution is inevitable!"

Cai Fu: (_)
……

Siliu Village.

"Mother, we won't be able to reach Liangshan Marsh today."

Niu Gao said to his mother on horseback.

The cow's mother rode his black horse, while he walked and led the horse for his mother.

Therefore, the mother and son walked slowly, and it took them many days to reach Siliu Village.

From afar, Niu Gao saw a village ahead and said:

"Mother, let's stay overnight in the village ahead and continue our journey tomorrow."

The cow mother agreed.

Niu Gao quickened his pace and continued on his way, but when he reached the village entrance, he saw a group of bandits robbing people!

"Mother, Cai Daowang taught me that the heroes of Liangshan are all acting on behalf of Heaven!"
"Now that I've joined Liangshan, I must also act on behalf of Heaven!"

Niu Gao picked up his double maces without hesitation:
"Today someone committed a crime in broad daylight, and your son will act on behalf of Heaven to avenge him!"

The cow mother sighed helplessly: "You seem to have forgotten that you were also robbing people on the street a few days ago..."

However, since her son was willing to learn good things, even if it meant doing something like acting on behalf of Heaven, the cow mother supported him.

Besides, no one knows a son better than his mother. Her silly son, when he gets stubborn, he'll do whatever he wants.

Besides, a son is beyond his mother's control once he grows up; how could she possibly stop him?

So the cow dismounted, took the bundle, and hid in the grove by the roadside.

Niu Gao mounted his horse and charged towards the village, shouting as he went:
"You audacious thief! The heroes of Liangshan have come to uphold justice on behalf of Heaven!"

……

"Give it to me or not?"

A lowly henchman was vigorously trying to remove a jade bracelet from an old woman's wrist!

The old woman was overweight with thick wrists; the henchmen couldn't even manage to shave her off after a couple of tries.

The old woman was crying her heart out:

"No, Your Majesty!"

“This jade bracelet was passed down to me by my mother-in-law, and I will pass it on to my daughter-in-law…”

"Bring it to you!"

The henchmen had no patience to listen to her rambling, so they went up and chopped off one of her hands with a knife!

He kicked the old woman to the ground, and the henchman, having obtained the jade bracelet, paused for a moment upon hearing Niu Gao's shout:
If you're a hero from Liangshan, then what am I?
[Don't worry, there's more to come~]
