Water Margin: The opening scene involves assassinating Emperor Huizong of Song and forcibly taking L

He was tall and strong, with regular features.

He is indeed a handsome man.

No wonder he can hook up with so many women.

However, her appearance is still a bit worse than mine...

Zhao Yuan nodded, giving his own assessment.

Ximen Qing was being sized up by Zhao Yuan.

His face immediately showed a hint of confusion, and he quickly said,

"Hero Zhao, I have heard that you have rid Yanggu County of a scourge. As a native of Yanggu County, I have some wealth, so I naturally want to do something to show my appreciation. Please accept this silver, Hero Zhao, as a small token of my goodwill."

As Ximen Qing spoke, he placed a satchel on the table.

The bag was open, and inside were silver ingots, each worth ten taels.

Judging by its appearance, it must have been worth at least a hundred taels.

"The reward money for killing the tiger has already been given to me by the county magistrate,"

Zhao Yuan held his wine cup, but didn't touch the satchel on the table.

"As for the money that Master Ximen has received, I dare not accept it. If I did, I fear I would shorten my lifespan."

"Well, I don't know what the tiger-slaying hero means. Why can't I take my money?"

Ximen Qing frowned slightly, his face darkening.

"You know perfectly well what I mean!"

Zhao Yuan gestured for the guests to leave.

"My brother and I only drink with people, so please leave."

"you!"

Ximen Qing stood up, his face ashen.

Zhao Yuan's implication was undoubtedly that...

He, Ximen Qing, doesn't even deserve to be called a human being.

Not human?

That would naturally make them beasts!

In his fury, Ximen Qing

He raised his hand as if to slam it on the table.

But the hand was already raised.

Looking at the cold smile on Zhao Yuan's face,

A sudden realization struck him.

Suddenly I remembered that the person in front of me was a fierce man who could kill a tiger with a single punch!

Although I also possess some martial arts skills

But ordinary skills are no match for a fierce tiger.

If you anger this person in front of you,

The force with which that punch killed the worm

Hitting myself...

Thinking of this,

Ximen Qing immediately shivered.

The hand that had been raised was gently lowered.

Instead of slamming his fist on the table, he picked up the satchel on it.

Even a forced smile appeared on her face.

"Hero Zhao may have some misunderstanding about me. I will invite Hero Zhao to a drink another day when I have time!"

After saying that, without waiting for Zhao Yuan's reply,

Ximen Qing then quickly left.

After he left,

Lu Zhishen glanced at Zhao Yuan in surprise.

"Brother, what did this guy do to offend you? Why did you treat him like that?"

"Brother, you may not know this..."

Zhao Yuan then recounted the business methods of the Ximen family's herbal medicine shop that Yun Ge had just described.

He told the flower monk once,

This immediately changed Lu Zhishen's expression.

"Damn it! I originally thought this kid was just lustful, but I never expected him to do such deadly things. Do you think medicinal herbs can be faked so easily?!"

"I'll go find him right now and burn that damned pharmacy to the ground!"

The flowery monk roared angrily and was about to get up.

Zhao Yuan quickly stopped him.

“Brother, I think the same way as you, but Shishi is not fully recovered yet. The doctor said she needs to rest for another two or three days.”

“If we take action now and burn down that pharmacy, it will be seen that the Ximen family is colluding with the government. At that time, Yanggu County will definitely not be able to tolerate us. At worst, the two of us can just leave, but Shishi, who has regained her health, must not suffer the hardship of traveling again.”

"So, what do you mean, brother?"

Lu Zhishen suppressed his anger and asked.

Zhao Yuan downed the wine in his cup in one gulp and said expressionlessly,

"Let him live for a couple more days. Once Shishi has recovered and is able to travel again, we will rid Yanggu County of another scourge!"

Chapter 43 Ximen Qing Questions Zhao Niangzi (Seeking flowers and ratings)

Zhao Yuan's side wanted to rid Yanggu County of a scourge.

Here

Ximen Qing, who had already left the inn, also had a gloomy face.

He swore in his heart that he would avenge the humiliation he had just suffered.

To say that Ximen Qing came to visit Zhao Yuan today

I really didn't have any bad intentions.

He simply wanted to befriend this tiger-slaying hero.

Get to know them, and build a relationship.

When Ximen Qing inherited the family business,

Actually, there was only one small herbal medicine shop.

Business was barely enough to make ends meet.

However, after Ximen Qing's years of management...

The Ximen family today,

His influence in Yanggu County is no longer what it used to be.

What he relied on was gathering a group of hooligans and ruffians around him.

Utilize these people,

Scams, deception, coercion, and enticement

The entire Yanggu County was filled with both shock and fear towards the Ximen family.

Among these ruffians and down-on-their-luck individuals, the nine who were the ringleaders...

He had the best relationship with Ximen Qing.

When they interacted, they always addressed each other as brothers.

this time,

Ximen Qing came to find Zhao Yuan.

Some of them also wanted to recruit Zhao Yuan into their gang.

His brothers,

When it comes to shameless tactics, perhaps no one can match them.

But none of them were truly capable.

If we could also bring Zhao Yuan, the tiger-slaying hero, over here...

For the Ximen family's power,

This is undoubtedly like adding wings to a tiger!

This is why Ximen Qing gave Zhao Yuan so much silver as soon as they met today.

As the saying goes, eating people is short-tongued and taking advantage of others is soft-handed.

Ximen Qing had originally planned that as long as Zhao Yuan accepted the money,

From then on, we could be considered friends.

But Zhao Yuan didn't give him any face at all.

Not only did they refuse the money, they also kicked him out.

"Damn bastard, just because you gained fame from killing a tiger, you think no one can control you?"

Ximen Qing was standing in the middle of the road, cursing and swearing.

Unexpectedly, a short figure suddenly bumped into him.

Ximen Qing was already furious.

Without thinking, he raised his foot and kicked the other person to the ground.

After that person fell to the ground,

He then recognized the kid who had hit him.

It was the same guy who always sold pears at the roadside hotel!

"It's you? Why are you in such a hurry?"

"So it's Master Ximen,"

Yun Ge quickly got up from the ground and said with a forced smile,

"I just got two strings of cash from Aunt Xue, and I was so happy that I wasn't watching where I was going..."

"Two strings of cash? That old woman Xue is always stingy, why is she being so generous all of a sudden?" Ximen Qing asked.

"hey-hey,"

Yun Ge chuckled twice and recounted how he had introduced Sister Xue to Zhao Yuan to buy a maid.

"Buy maids?"
