"cheat?"
Sun Xin looked completely surprised.
"yes,"
The merchant looked smug.
Just like what Liangshan did.
It was as if he did it himself.
"Although Liangshan also has a navy,"
"But they were all riverboats,"
"It's simply impossible to sail on the sea!"
"The Dengzhou navy, however, hid in the sea at that time."
"I heard that the idea came from Zhuge Liang, the woman who married a man from Liangshan,"
"They orchestrated this whole thing!"
"The Liangshan forces, under the pretense of withdrawing from Dengzhou, tricked the Dengzhou navy into returning to their naval stronghold."
"Then, I don't know how Liangshan got into trouble,"
"They suddenly appeared in Dengzhou,"
"Just take advantage of the night,"
"They captured the Dengzhou naval stronghold in one fell swoop!"
"The Dengzhou navy numbers two to three thousand men,"
"I heard they were all wiped out by Liangshan!"
Upon hearing this, Sun Xin
He had already frowned.
The woman next to her, Sister-in-law Gu, also asked in confusion,
"Liangshan shouldn't have been so bloodthirsty, right?"
"Besides, it's such a big water fortress,"
"Even if it's breached at night,"
"It's impossible for none of them to escape, isn't it?"
"this....."
The merchant's expression immediately turned awkward.
"I don't know about those,"
"In short, the naval camp in Dengzhou has been breached,"
"Even Dang Hailong, the commander of the Dengzhou water fortress,"
"They were also taken by Liangshan to the front of Dengzhou Prefecture City,"
"In front of the prefect and all the officials above and below,"
"They've carried out a public beheading!"
"I can't believe it's only been a few days,"
Sun Xin couldn't help but sigh,
"So many things have happened."
"Truly worthy of Liangshan,"
The mother tiger, Sister-in-law Gu, couldn't help but say...
"We all thought at the time,"
"Then Liangshan has no way to capture the Dengzhou naval stronghold."
"Who knew they had a plan all along."
"After all, Liangshan was able to defeat even the large army of the imperial court in Tokyo,"
Sun Xin also said,
"Breaking through a small water fortress in Dengzhou is nothing."
"correct,"
The merchant suddenly laughed.
"As you know, this time Liangshan came to Dengzhou,"
"Who should be the biggest beneficiary of this Dengzhou deal?"
"who is it?"
Someone in the tavern asked curiously,
"He is the Prefect of Dengzhou!"
The traveling merchant scoffed.
"That corrupt official is the one who profited the most this time!"
"No way,"
Someone immediately questioned,
"Then Liangshan attacked and breached the Deshui stronghold in Dengzhou,"
"The imperial court will definitely not let that prefect of Dengzhou off the hook,"
"How could he possibly have made a profit!"
“You don’t know,”
The merchant began to explain,
"That Liangshan is located in front of Dengzhou Prefecture."
"A platform was erected, and on it, the sea-sweeping dragon was beheaded."
"After that, Liangshan ordered them to come from Dengzhou,"
"They bought Liangshan coarse salt at a bargain price from the wealthy and powerful."
"Make up for the missing amount!"
"Liangshan initially demanded 150,000 strings of cash,"
"But you know,"
"Did the powerful and wealthy families of Dengzhou raise a lot of money from the dog-like prefect of Dengzhou?"
"How many?"
Someone couldn't help but press for an answer.
"Eighteen thousand strings of cash!"
The traveling merchant couldn't help but say,
"The Liangshan bandits demanded money because wealthy and powerful families had taken their coarse salt."
Even if the money is made up,
"Those wealthy families and gentry can still make a profit!"
"But this damn prefect ripped me off like this,"
"Thirty thousand strings of cash went straight into his pocket!"
"With this money, that corrupt official only needs to make some moves in Tokyo,"
"Isn't it true that you can become an official wherever you want?"
Thirty thousand strings of cash?
Everyone in the tavern couldn't help but sigh in amazement.
For ordinary families
He can only earn about ten strings of cash a year.
but now,
Upon hearing that Dengzhou had become the prefect,
It was just a casual touch.
He immediately received 30,000 strings of cash.
How could everyone not be envious!
"If you ask me, this prefect is courting death,"
One guest couldn't help but say,
"The Liangshan people have always been known for their hatred of evil,"
"If they find out,"
"That dog of a prefect is using Liangshan to make money,"
"We definitely won't let that corrupt official get away with this..."
Chapter 985 Why Not Go to Liangshan?
"But in fact, that corrupt official got away scot-free."
The traveling merchant shook his head helplessly.
"Those wealthy and powerful families in Dengzhou Prefecture,"
"Although he was extorted by that dog of a prefect,"
"But those wealthy families weren't exactly good people to begin with,"
"How could they dare to ask Liangshan for help?"
"Perhaps when we reach Liangshan,"
"They haven't even said anything yet,"
"We'll be dealt with by Liangshan first!"
"That's true,"
Some people agreed.
"If that's the case,"
"No wonder that corrupt official dared to extort money so brazenly!"
"Forget it, let's not talk about this anymore."
The traveling merchant shook his head.
"That corrupt official and the wealthy man are fighting like dogs,"
"Let them bite!"
"Anyway, now that Liangshan is in Dengzhou,"
"Those wealthy and powerful families, and the officials in the government,"
"I dare not act like I used to,"
"They've been extorting and bullying us at will!"
"right,"
Someone nearby immediately agreed.
