Shi Bao grabbed Li Jun and said, "Brother, wait! This grudge must be avenged."
"But then the village was relocated,"
"Xiao Ba hasn't explained it yet,"
"It's not too late to deal with it after the details are fully explained."
Li Jun patiently sat down.
"Alright then! Hachi,"
"Tell me quickly, what's next?"
Xiao Ba said, "I've gone too far with this matter."
"If too many people leak the news, it won't be a good idea,"
"Then they quickly prepared the old man for burial."
"Everything in the house was destroyed and all traces of it were erased."
"He also instructed the entire village,"
"Don't make a fuss about it, lest you get involved in a lawsuit."
"Later, officials did indeed come to question us,"
"But the villagers had all received my instructions and had not given anything away."
"But that scoundrel Zhang Kui still sent people to set fires several times,"
"This has caused great alarm and uncertainty among the villagers,"
"We had no choice but to move here to hide."
Li Jun shouted, "What are you afraid of! He's here to set fires and kill people!"
"I'll repay him for murder and arson,"
"A cowardly and timid man is not a true hero."
"They had no choice but to hide in the mud."
Zhu Xiaoba lowered his head and said, "It's shameful to admit!"
"I am because my master and fellow disciples were murdered,"
"I often think of revenge, but I can't fight alone,"
"And none of the fire-bringers are of any use,"
"Multiple points will not lead to success,"
"Beat the grass to alert the snake, and you've given them time to prepare."
"I originally intended to go to Liangshan Marsh to find my elder brother and appeal my grievances."
"Firstly, because the journey is long and the area is unfamiliar,"
"Secondly, because my elderly mother and wife are constantly nagging, I don't let them go out,"
"It has captured my heart,"
"I've hesitated several times before deciding to go. If I go out, who will take care of my family?"
"Therefore, we are caught in a dilemma, and must put aside our great grudge,"
"I feel truly ashamed that I've dragged this out until now!"
Li Jun replied, "Forget about those reasons, I'm just upset that you didn't send a message."
Zhu Xiaoba also felt guilty.
Yes, yes, repeatedly.
I dare not explain any further.
Shi Bao hurriedly said, "Don't blame Xiao Ba either."
"Let him avenge our uncle."
Zhu Xiaoba hurriedly said, "I am willing to go with you two brothers to avenge him."
That night, Li Jun and Shi Bao finished their meal and drinks.
They stayed overnight at Zhu Xiaoba's house.
They discussed a plan for revenge.
Chapter 1691 Revenge
After a night.
The next day, Li Jun got up.
He took out some loose silver coins from his pocket.
Tell Zhu Xiaoba to buy incense, candles, and spirit money.
Seasonal fruits, various offerings,
Everything is ready.
After eating...
Then they walked out of the Zhu family's gate.
Hachiko led the way.
Shi Bao helped carry the offerings.
Li Jun changed into mourning clothes.
He followed behind with his head down.
The three of them went straight up the ridge.
Until they reached Li Fu's grave,
Xiao Ba and Shi Bao got to work.
Take out the offerings.
They laid out the offerings one by one in front of the graves.
Light incense and candles.
Li Jun then knelt down in worship.
He began by saying, "Uncle, you didn't listen to your nephew back then,"
"They refused to leave with us and stayed here,"
"His tragic death is deeply saddening."
"My nephew has come here today to pay his respects,"
"I'll devise a plan to avenge you,"
"Uncle Fu Wang, Yin Ling silently bless you!"
Li Junzhu said goodbye.
He personally burned the paper money and paper offerings for the dead.
He collapsed to the ground and cried loudly.
This caused Shi Bao and Xiao Ba to feel extremely distressed and shed tears.
After the memorial service, we packed up all the belongings.
Go up the ridge together.
Let's go back to Xiaoba's house.
The three entered the house.
There were six or seven people sitting there.
Seeing Li Jun return, he stood up and said,
"How wonderful! Brother Li is really back!"
They all stood up and stepped forward to pay their respects.
A chorus of voices called out for their elder brother.
When Li Jun looked,
They were all merchants who did business on the river in the old days.
The younger brothers who never followed him to Liangshan.
One of them was named Jin Liyu Shi Quan.
First of all,
"Brother Li, it's been so many years!"
What wind has blown this way?
“Someone walked past the foot of the ridge yesterday,”
"I saw you standing there, staring blankly at a thatched hut."
“When we came back and told them about it, none of us believed it,”
"They say my elder brother is now a general in Daliang,"
"If you come back, what's the worst that could happen? Perhaps you've mistaken someone for someone else?"
"Most of us doubted and didn't believe it, thinking it was a lie,"
"Having nothing to do, we decided to come and find out what was going on."
"I never imagined he really is the eldest brother! How can I not be overjoyed!"
Everyone is talking at this moment.
Very happy,
They told each other what had happened since they last met.
Li Jun also explained his purpose for coming.
Grieving the murder of his uncle.
He was determined to find Zhang Kui and take revenge.
Shi Quan called out again.
"Brother Li, when this matter was mentioned,"
"This is absolutely infuriating!"
"Since the departure of you three tyrants, no one has ruled this place,"
"Thus, Zhang Kui rose to prominence,"
"Secretly, he also colluded with Ma Xiong, the local tyrant of Jieyang Town,"
"The bigger their momentum, the more rampant they become,"
"It is truly a case of those who obey him live, and those who defy him die."
"We have benefited greatly from your kindness in the past,"
"Sometimes I would go to the river to do some business,"
"As long as our elder brother has nothing to say, who would dare to bully us?"
"I never expected such a dramatic change in personnel recently,"
“Zhang Kui is running rampant.”
"A busybody who does many evil deeds,"
