Zhang Shun never imagined that after three or four days in prison, he would gain three more friends who would work for him.

"Master Ma, Master Li, you and I have only met each other once, so why do we have to do this? I don't know how to express my gratitude for this great kindness..." Before Zhang Shun could finish his moved words, he was interrupted by Master Ma.

The look was interrupted.

Then the owner of the village, Mr. Li, continued: "Brother Zhang is really handsome and talented, and he will fly in due course. Go to the village to rest for a night, and I will take care of you."

Then, Zhang Shun was dragged to Lijiazhuang by Taoist Master Ma in a daze. The owner of Lizhuang killed chickens and sheep to entertain him. After drinking and eating, the three of them talked about their "parting feelings", and Zhang Shun realized that the owner of Lizhuang was actually a guard officer.

He even went out of his way to plead with the magistrate for his own affairs, and he was able to redress his injustice.

He couldn't help but be moved and said: "Master Li, I am a commoner. Your Excellency treats me as a national scholar, and I will repay you as a national scholar. From now on, whenever Master Li says a word, Zhang will die without hesitation."

Seeing that he was neither humble nor arrogant, Master Li held his fists to thank him for saving his life. He was not like the stupid people who kowtowed at every turn, so he couldn't help but look down on him. And when he saw that he only thanked himself but not Taoist Master Ma, he felt heartbroken.

Dao: Sure enough, Taoist Master Ma was working with him, so he went to such extreme lengths. It seems that he really has some moral integrity.

In fact, Zhuang Li had a poor understanding. It turned out that this book was written by modern people. Regardless of the etiquette of kowtow and bow, it was handed over to everyone. But he did not thank Taoist Master Ma, but he had already figured it out: At this time, I

Because of this, rumors are born. If the judge enforces the law impartially, he will be innocent, but Taoist Master Ma will not escape. Of course, if he violates the law, he will die unjustly, but many people will die unjustly.

There are not many of them. Therefore, because he is working so hard this time, he may have something to ask for, so he must speak to him later.

In this way, the three of them talked more and more speculatively, drank more and more, and almost cut off the chicken head, burned incense and paid homage, then broke up the banquet and went to rest separately.

Zhang Shun was still not used to living in other people's homes, so he woke up early the next morning. He didn't even call for servants to help him rest, but just walked out of the guest room and wandered around the village.

Although this Lijiazhuang is a village, it is actually a stockade. With the Lijia Mansion as the core, and the villagers and tenants attached, it is surrounded by a high wall. There are only two openings in the wall, divided into the front door and the back door. There are watchtowers at each door.

Guard and set up gates to control their access.

Next to the wall, a watchtower was set up seven to eight feet away to facilitate guarding the wall during war. Further inside, there were more than ten families surrounding the Li family's mansion. They were all two-story buildings, connected into a cluster, forming a village.

The second city wall. Further inside, there is the Li family. The watchtower in the courtyard is tall, which can serve as a warning, observe the enemy's situation, and command operations.

Zhang Shun couldn't help but secretly sighed: No wonder it was called feudal society in ancient times. Once the world changes, such a stronghold can only be strengthened and turned into a castle. If the attackers don't have heavy firepower or internal spies, they don't know how many people will be needed to break it.

This type of building.

Zhang Shun thought about it and walked back to the Li family's mansion. Suddenly, he heard the sound of a woman's charming laughter, so he couldn't help but look up and saw a woman in green clothes disappearing in the back garden of Li's family. Zhang Shun was about to take it back.

His gaze happened to be caught by the passing roadmaster Ma.

Taoist priest Ma couldn't help but laugh and said: "It's time for the male to get married and the female to get married. Does Brother Zhang have any idea? This may be a girl from Li Baihu. She can be married to you as your concubine. It can also be considered as repaying the Li family's life-saving grace."

Ugh! Zhang Shun almost wanted to vomit after hearing this: What kind of logic is this? If someone saves you, you want to sacrifice your daughter to them? You are ungrateful, nothing more than that. Zhang Shun quickly refused.

Taoist Master Ma didn't take it seriously, and the two of them had breakfast at Li's house before leaving. Only in this way did the two of them have the opportunity to be alone together.

Zhang Shunyi cupped his hands and said: "Taoist Master Ma, there is no need to investigate who is right for this disaster. Originally you could just walk away and be at ease. But I didn't expect you to work so hard for me. I don't know what you can do for me."

I will not give up until I die."

"I really have something to ask of you, please come with me." Taoist Master Ma laughed after hearing this, and then took him back to Chenzhou Mansion.

The two of them walked around until they came to a well-off household and knocked on the door. When the head of the household opened the door, Zhang Shun saw that it was Old Liu Tou who they had met once.

"Are you Liu Laotou?" Zhang Shun saw this person and made some guesses in his mind, so he asked Taoist Ma, "Could it be that the old gentleman also helps me when it's time for me?"

After hearing Taoist Master Ma's affirmative answer, Zhang Shun, based on the principle that a person only dies once, and dying ten thousand times is of no use, burst into tears and said with gratitude: "Mr. Liu, you and I only met once, but you are so kind to me, if

Wherever Zhang is needed, Zhang will never give up."

"How dare you, how dare you!" Old Liu Tou said in panic, "You are worth a thousand gold, you must not kill me. Please go into the house and talk in detail."

After entering the house, Old Liu Tou called his son and himself to accompany Zhang Shun, and asked his daughter-in-law to quickly cook and his grandson to sell wine.

The four of them ate and chatted, and when it came to sex, the old Liu Tou called his son and asked him to kneel down and be a servant to Zhang Shun. Zhang Shun was shocked when he heard this: Could it be that the ancients had a different understanding of repaying a favor?

Does he understand differently? This is not like repaying a favor at all, but rather like coming to take revenge.

Before Zhang Shun could refuse, the old Liu Tou's son threw down his bowls and chopsticks and quit: "Old man, why are you so confused? Not to mention that you spent a lot of money at home on this man, and you went around begging for help.

I didn’t leave anything for my son, but now I want to sell him to someone else as a slave. Could it be that I picked him up from the street?"

Old Liu Tou was very angry after hearing this: "I am sixty and two years old this year, and I don't know when I will be unable to walk. I am leaving you a piece of wealth, but I didn't expect you to be so unfulfilled."

During the commotion, the daughter-in-law heard about it and started making trouble too. She cried, made trouble and hanged herself. It was an indecent fuss.

Zhang Shun was caught in the middle and was extremely embarrassed. He could only persuade him dryly: "My children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. I am a commoner. If you follow me, you can only eat chaff and drink dilute. How can you be rich? Old gentleman, please don't mention this matter again."

Old Liu Tou, who was so angry that he couldn't get off the stage and wanted to fight with his son and daughter-in-law, heard what he said and suddenly realized, he clapped his legs and said: "You are right, we have children and grandchildren, not only sons, but also grandchildren. You should kneel down! You should.

Kneel! You come here and kowtow to the nobleman, and then you will hang out with him. You will listen to him and do whatever he asks you to do."

Should you kneel down? Who gave their grandson such a strange name? Besides, what did I say about grandson? I really fell into the crotch of yellow mud - it’s either shit or shit, Zhang Shun wondered in his heart. Before he could react,

A boy of fifteen or sixteen who had been serving them drinks ran over, knelt down to Zhang Shun with a plop, and kowtowed three times.

Zhang Shun was so frightened that he quickly helped the child up, but saw that the child's forehead was bruised. He couldn't help but smile bitterly and scolded: "You kid, why are you so sincere? You just knock when you are asked, and your head is almost broken."

.Even if your name is Ying Kneeling, you can’t kneel down when you see someone!”

Before he finished speaking, Old Man Liu's son and daughter-in-law saw that Old Man Liu had sold their son, so they were willing to give up. They stretched out their hands to grab Old Man Liu.

Zhang Shun quickly let go of Liu Ying, who was kneeling down, and turned around to break up the fight with Taoist Master Ma. Who would have thought that their son and daughter-in-law were also two bastards? When he saw them coming, he couldn't help but cursed: "You two birdies are not good people, and one of them is a bastard."

The old man keeps mumbling all day long to defraud the old man of his money, while the other one pretends to be a ghost and deceives the old man’s grandson!”

In response to the scolding, Zhang Shun parried the two of them with fists and kicks. Zhang Shun had some martial arts skills at least, relying on his youth and strength to block with the left and the right, but he didn't do much. The Taoist priest Ma suffered a bit, just protecting his beard.

, Lao Liutou’s daughter-in-law accidentally grabbed her hair, and a handful of it was pulled out alive.

With no other choice, the two of them fled. After finally escaping, they had nowhere to go, so they had to return to Zhang Shun's Zhangjiazhuang and temporarily stay at Zhang Shun's house.

After staying for two days, the old Liu Tou finally sent his grandson Liu Ying over. Zhang Shun couldn't resist him, so he simply thought to himself: I am a modern person, so I can teach him something casually, and it will not be in vain for this old gentleman.

He was kind-hearted, so he reluctantly accepted Liu Yingqiu, and specially changed his name to Liu Yinggui, which sounded better.

As it turned out, none of the three of them were good at washing, cooking, or running a business. They ate and drank at Zhang Shun's house until the Chinese New Year, and almost depleted Zhang Shun's family. Zhang Shun originally planned to recruit a few boys in the countryside to teach them.

Fists, kicks, and mathematical words, and collect some money by the way. But there are no idle people in the countryside, and they deal with food all day long. Where can I live in a leisurely manner, and do this if I have money and leisure?

After the New Year, under the leadership of Taoist Master Ma, the three of them had no choice but to shamelessly run to Li Baihu's house to "eat the rich".

This Li Baihu is very wealthy and is not afraid of supporting a few of them. However, these three people are eating and drinking for free for several months, and they are always looking for trouble for him.

The "right man" Zhang Shun is always trying to make friends with his bankers, trying to open a so-called "civilian and martial arts class" to teach some boxing, martial arts, poetry, calligraphy and arithmetic. But the elder Ma Dao is always willing to let him go.

He gave his daughter to Zhang Shun as a concubine. These two people really made Li Baihuan furious: These two people wanted to occupy the magpie's nest and dominate his Lijiazhuang!

I don’t know what kind of bad luck has happened during this period of time. The team that used to go to transport food received news a few days ago. It is said that they encountered rogue bandits on the way and lost all their money, including people and goods. That’s it over there.

The guard station also said that the suppression of bandits was urgent and a lot of food was needed, and asked them to quickly transport food again.

And the magistrate of Benzhou urged him very urgently, suspecting that he had pocketed the last transaction. In his anxiety, Li Baihu also became cruel. He didn't care about the "True Dragon Emperor", but he could use my luck to give me food.

Let's go ahead as a team.

Thinking of this, Li Baihu finally made the decision by himself, so he went to see Zhang Shun and Taoist Master Ma, and said: "You two have been trapped in my village for a long time, and you can't wait to fly. Now I have a business, and I just lack manpower."
