Song Jiang was sent to Jiangzhou for committing a crime. He met Dai Zong, who wanted to meet him for a long time. So they went to the city together and drank in a hotel. After two or three drinks, they met Li Kui. Later, they went to the pipating tavern by the river to drink. In the dining room, Song Jiang thinks the fish soup is not very good, so he asks the bartender to make some bowls of fresh fish soup to sober up. It happened that there was no fresh fish in the tavern, so Li Kui jumped up and said, "I'll go to the fishing boat to ask for two tails to eat with my brother!". Dai Zong was afraid that he would cause trouble and wanted to ask the bartender to pick them up, but Li Kui had to go by himself. Li Kui went to the river and said to the fisherman, "give me two of the live fish on your boat." A fisherman said, "if the owner doesn't come, we dare not open the cabin." When Li Kui saw that the fisherman didn't take the fish, he jumped into a boat and pulled out the bamboo fence. I didn't expect that the bamboo fence had no bottom. It was only used to stop the fish. As soon as he pulled it out, all the fish ran away. Li Kui let off several fish in a row, angering dozens of fishermen. They beat Li Kui with pennies. Li Kui was so angry that he had already snatched five or six pennies in his hand and all of them were broken. At this time, Zhang Shun, the owner of the fish, nicknamed "Langli Baitiao", came. Seeing that Li Kui was making trouble out of no reason, Zhang Shunjian started to fight with him. They fought from the boat to the Bank of the river and from the bank to the river. Zhang Shunshui is excellent, Li Kui is not his opponent. He pressed Li Kui in the water, and Li Kui was choked dizzy and repeatedly complained. At this time, Dai Zong came to Zhang Shun and called out, "save my brother first, come up and meet Song Jiang!" it turned out that Zhang Shun knew Dai Zong and admired Song Jiang's name, but he didn't know him. Hearing Dai Zong's cry, he quickly lifted Li Kui to the surface of the water, swam to the river and saluted Song Jiang. Dai Zong said to Zhang Shun, "this is my brother. His name is Li Kui." Zhang Shun said: "it's brother Li, but I didn't know him! Li Kui said angrily, "you are choking me so hard! Zhang Shun said with a smile: "you beat me so hard! When they finished, they laughed. Dai Zong said, "you two can be brothers today. As the saying goes, you will never know each other without a sound." A few people listened and laughed.
