Chapter 97 See Chengming Again
More than two months ago, more than 200 gangsters from the Baoshan area suddenly attacked Lalin City.
The Lalin City Assistant Leader's Yamen didn't react at all, and the gangster suddenly broke into the city.
The guy is like a mouse in a rice vat. He is like a fish in water, burning, killing and looting everywhere, looting local shops and even taking away the taxes from the tax bureau.
The total losses to the common people, merchants, and tax bureau were more than 300,000 yuan.
Later, several groups of troops and horses, including Russian cavalry, jointly suppressed the bandits, and the bandits were wiped out.
However, not all the financial losses have been recovered.
After several subsequent tracking, these gangsters first fled to Hongshilizi, and then moved southwestward.
The officers and soldiers originally planned to give up. After all, the journey was far away, supplies were unfavorable, and the time was too long, and the weather was freezing and they were unwilling to send troops. However, the gentry and merchants in the city refused to give up, so they fought all the way here.
Zhao Chuanxin did not meet the gangster, but he met the officers and soldiers.
"People over there, listen up, here are the officers and soldiers of Lalin Xie Ling Yamen, put down your weapons immediately!"
Zhao Chuanxin and others looked at the shouting officers and soldiers as if they were fools.
Double Happiness was so excited that he couldn't hold it back: "Why are you trying to pull Lin Xie to lead the Yamen? Where did the big-tailed wolf come from? We are from the Lugang Town Insurance Team. If you are sensible, get out of here."
After Shuangxi finished shouting, the officers and soldiers hurried back.
After a while, a group of people filed out.
"Captain Zhao, long time no see!"
Zhao Chuanxin was stunned: "Chengming?"
He really didn't expect to meet Chengming here.
Zhao Chuanxin and his men also rode forward, and the two sides stopped more than ten meters away.
Cheng Ming feels that Zhao Chuanxin looks more mature!
Being immature is not enough. At this time, Zhao Chuanxin has been growing a beard for more than a year, and his cheeks are often groomed. The beard on his chin is up to five centimeters long and is extremely thick.
Fortunately, Chengming can recognize this.
Zhao Chuanxin looked at Chengming, but he didn't change much.
The two looked at each other and smiled.
Zhao Chuanxin was the first to speak: "Chengming, why are you here?"
Obviously, although Zhao Chuanxin and others are fully armed, they all have short hair, and they are not officers and soldiers at first glance.
But when he called their superiors by their names, many people showed anger on their faces.
But Cheng Ming doesn't care at all. If this person is groveling, then he is not Zhao Chuanxin.
People dare to criticize the imperial court in front of him, so what does it mean to call him by his first name?
Chengming said with a smile: "Ping was transferred to Lalin City Xie Ling Yamen and became the commander. Something happened in the first few months, and I almost lost my hat. Now I am back to my old job of suppressing bandits. What about you?
What are you doing here?"
"We are short of food and clothing and have caused many famines. Why don't we come to Niu Zihou to ask him to return the favor?"
"..."
Look at Zhao Chuanxin and the others, everyone has a horse, the foreign guns are still as sharp, and the clothes are uniform, clean and neat, how do they look like they are in a famine?
And it seems that their horses are not local ponies, they all seem to be Russian Don horses, which are fat and strong after being taken care of. Even the harness looks very sophisticated and comfortable.
Zhao Chuanxin’s harness is even carved...
"You are still so dishonest."
Chengming sat up straight on his horse and pointed at Zhao Chuanxin with a smile.
Zhao Chuanxin chuckled and said, "You are much more naughty."
Chengming smiled and then stopped.
This is the first time in his life that someone called him naughty...
Zhao Chuanxin asked: "Which group of gangsters are you fighting?"
Chengming's expression became more serious: "Liu Yihe, Laolaihong, Shuangheyue, Shun Fuxingyou, have you ever heard of these gangsters?"
Zhao Chuanxin shook his head honestly: "I haven't heard of it. Generally, those who have heard of it are so scared that we have robbed them and ran away long ago."
Ouch, what a loud tone!
The soldiers behind Chengming looked disdainful.
Suddenly, Zhao Chuanxin's eyes lit up: "It sounds like several gangs have merged to fight with you? Tell me, do you have any money? If they have enough capital, I will help you destroy them."
When it came to the point, Chengming and his men were already exhausted and no longer wanted to continue chasing.
It’s freezing cold today, so it’s not easy.
And he knew the nature of the people in the Lugangling Village Insurance Team, and he didn’t hide it. He told the truth: “They stole as much as 300,000 yuan in property.”
After talking about 300,000 yuan, the breathing of everyone behind Zhao Chuanxin immediately became heavier and their eyes instantly turned red.
Back then, they dared to fight for 30 yuan, let alone 300,000 yuan.
Seeing the dangerous expressions on this group of people, the soldiers behind Chengming felt as if they were facing a formidable enemy and even started to touch their guns.
Chengming was startled, and hurriedly waved his hand behind him to signal not to act rashly, and then smiled bitterly and said: "You are still the same as before. I haven't finished speaking yet. In fact, this is an imaginary number. At that time, those merchants and people waited for their houses to
The losses were all falsely reported, as we were afraid that it would be difficult to distribute the recovered finances in the future. Moreover, since then we have killed more than fifty gangsters and recovered some of the property."
Zhao Chuanxin looked proud and proud: "Forget the nonsense, let's just talk about it, how much money can these gangsters have?"
"We have several thousand silver dollars, at least thirty horses, and some guns and ammunition."
Zhao Chuanxin waved his hand: "We've done this! Just find a place to wait. I'll ask you to collect the body when it's done!"
Chengming: "Happy! When it's all over, I'll go with you to find Boss Niu. I hope I can help you with your matter!"
Zhao Chuanxin and his party left without saying a word.
When they walked away, the co-leader Chang Hai behind Chengming asked puzzledly: "Who are they? Commander, why do you want to believe them?"
Chengming had a mysterious smile on his face: "Our officers and soldiers to suppress bandits require the cooperation of hundreds of people, and the help of Russian cavalry. Do you know that these people defeated hundreds of people with just a dozen people?"
?"
"Ah?" Chang Hai opened his mouth wide and didn't believe it: "Isn't it possible that they can't do it even if they have only three heads and six arms?"
At that time, he participated in the battle to capture robbers in Lalin City and was gloriously wounded. He was unable to fight and had to retreat.
Although there were 200 people in the group at that time, there were more than just twenty of them. Aren't they unable to defeat the group?
"Just waiting. As long as they catch up, the results will be announced today. Now we just need to find a place to camp and rest first..."
……
The biggest advantage of tracking in winter is that there are traces to follow.
There are horse hoof prints and footprints everywhere on the snow, which are very easy to identify.
What's more, those guys didn't run very far, and they caught up with them within an hour.
As soon as Zhao Chuanxin and others appeared, the people on the other side reacted immediately, but they did not fire because the distance was too far.
It can be seen that the number of people in this group does not seem to be officers and soldiers.
When officers and soldiers fight, they always fight with more and less before they dare to rush forward in one fell swoop.
There are only a dozen people in this team, obviously not.
But they did not take it lightly, and each took up arms.
Zhao Chuanxin, on the other hand, took out his binoculars to observe.
Gao Li squinted and said, "About fifty people, more than thirty horses, only about ten foreign guns, and more than thirty local guns..."
Everyone put down their binoculars and looked at Zhao Chuanxin, waiting for his order.
Zhao Chuanxin looked around. The view here is wide and there is no favorable combat terrain.
So he said: "Let's spread out later. You will surround them from both sides. I will be in the middle. I will make them afraid to run away first, and then everyone will surround them and fight them!"
Everyone didn't know what tricks Zhao Chuanxin used to make these gangsters fearful, but they couldn't stop everyone from trusting him, so Shuangxi and Gao Li led the team to disperse.
Xingyue began to charge forward.
