The money bag was indeed not enough for 90 yuan. Tang Cheng counted 50 yuan and the money bag was already empty. He glanced at the 50 yuan neatly arranged on the stone table. Tang Cheng smiled and looked up at the knife-striped face.
Butler. "Since you are here to buy the gun sincerely, just pay according to the price we quoted. I will accept the money first and treat it as the deposit you brought. If you don't come to give the money to pick up the gun before dawn, this money will
I won’t retreat.”
Facing the shell gun in Old Dongbei's hand and the glaring Liu Shitou, the knife-faced butler could only glare at Tang Cheng, and then left in a hurry. Facing the domineering Tang Cheng, even Ma Dapeng, who had been relying on selling stolen goods to support his family, couldn't help but
His expression changed. "Han Laojiu, tell me the truth, where are these three people from? Why do I think that boy counting money is so weird?" He didn't send the knife-faced butler away, looking uncertain.
Ma Dapeng grabbed Old Han and whispered, trying to find out the details about Tangcheng and the others from his old friends.
The old man Han, who was smiling like an old fox, was obviously very happy to see Ma Dapeng embarrassed. While laughing, he told Yunshan Mist Cover as he had discussed with Tang Cheng, but the confused Ma Dapeng still couldn't figure out Tang Cheng.
They asked for their details. "Oh, when did you, Ma Dapeng, become a talkative woman? Why do you ask so many questions? You just need to help us cross the river and stop asking about things that have nothing to do with you." Ma Dapeng asked.
Feeling a little irritated, Old Man Han had no choice but to darken his face, and then Ma Dapeng gave up and changed the subject.
"This Li Fugui is the biggest rich man in Lanxi Town. Before the fight between the little devils and the rebels started, Li Fugui had already sent his two sons into the rebel army. Most of the nursing homes in his family were owned by Li Fugui's elders.
My son, Li Congwen, was recruited from the **." After being pressed by Old Man Han, Ma Dapeng had no choice but to talk about the Li family's affairs, but it could be heard from his words that besides envy, Ma Dapeng's words were full of envy.
"There are more than 30 people in his nursing home, equipped with rifles, and I heard they also have small cannons and machine guns. The Li family can't afford to offend them." Ma Dapeng wanted Tangcheng and the others to retreat in the face of difficulties, so he sent Li
The strength of the family was a bit exaggerated, but it made Old Dongbei laugh. The Li family was just a wealthy family. Although the Li family had more than 30 nursing homes with military backgrounds, people like Old Dongbei who had waded through mountains of corpses and seas of blood
But he is not afraid. He doesn't believe that rich people like the Li family dare to play dirty tricks with the three of them.
"Uncle Ma, is there a boat to cross the river at night? We want to leave at night." Although the three of them were not afraid of the Li family, Tang Cheng saw that the expressions of the Han family had changed, so he asked Ma Dapeng who was looking for a boat to cross the river.
The matter. Lanxi Town is close to the river, and there are many families in the town who rely on the river water to earn a living. Ma Dapeng is also a local landowner who lives by selling stolen goods. Old Man Han entrusted the matter to Ma Dapeng because he knew that Ma Dapeng could accomplish this.
thing.
After all, Ma Dapeng is also a person who has been around for a long time. When Old Man Han was waiting for Tang Cheng to make up his mind, he had already seen that Tang Cheng was the one who made the decision. When Tang Cheng asked him about crossing the river, Ma Dapeng immediately revealed
He looked embarrassed. "It's not easy to cross the river at night. There are always Japanese motorboats on the river these days. No one dares to launch a boat at night. Besides, you have two carriages. Ordinary boats can't get across at all."
ah."
"It's easy to handle." Hearing Ma Dapeng mention the carriage, Tang Cheng laughed, but there was a coldness in the laughter, "As long as we can cross the river tonight, if the carriage can't cross the river, we won't need it, just treat it as
Thank you, Uncle Ma, for your help." As if in response to Tangcheng, Old Dongbei, who had been sullen since the knife-faced man left, suddenly opened the hammer of the shell gun, and the black hole in the muzzle was intentional or unintentional.
Looking at Ma Dapeng, Ma Dapeng was so horrified that he broke into a cold sweat in the blink of an eye.
What Jianghu people are best at is knowing how to look and speak. When Lao Dongbei pointed a gun at him seemingly unintentionally, Ma Dapeng immediately changed his mind and promised to go out to find a boat right away. He also said that he would spend money to buy the two boats brought by the Han family.
Carriage. "How's it going? Have those guys let go? Our master is still at home waiting for a reply." Ma Dapeng, who left home, turned around two rows of houses and knocked on the door of a house.
Ma Dapeng was waiting in the yard of this house.
Having no time to answer the sharp-faced inquiry, Ma Dapeng first grabbed the teapot and poured it into his mouth, and then slowly said, "I don't think this can be done. The three people who came with Han Laojiu are not simple. Although Han
Lao Jiu didn't say clearly what they did, but I can see that those three people have killed people before, and those nursing homes from your Li family are no match for them, so I think it's better to forget about it." Ma Dapeng originally thought.
He teamed up with the Li family to steal the rifles and bullets they brought from Tangcheng at low prices, but unexpectedly he hit a snag. Ma Dapeng, who was frightened by the old Northeast, was already planning to give up.
"That won't work. I've already told my master that I don't care who those three are. The ten spears they brought must fall into the hands of our Li family." Seeing that Ma Dapeng intended to withdraw, he made a sharp face.
Ma Dapeng glared at Ma Dapeng angrily, "I don't believe how powerful the three of them are, and they can be more powerful than the more than 30 nursing homes of the Li family. You go back and look after them now, and I will go back to find someone. I will even connect those people now."
Save Da Yang." Daotiao said as he walked away, walking to the entrance of the courtyard. It looked like he was really going back to Li's house to call someone.
With a scream of "Ah", Dao Tiao Lian, who had opened the courtyard door and was about to step out, screamed and fell back into the courtyard. Lao Dongbei, who was supposed to be waiting at Ma's house, was standing outside the courtyard door, wanting to go out.
Dao Tiao Lian was kicked back to the yard by Lao Dongbei. "Butler Li is so busy. It's already dark and he's still busy here and there. Why don't we have a good chat." Ma Dapeng was still stunned. Tang Cheng came from Lao Dongbei.
Flashed out from behind.
"I heard what you just said. What matters in business is your willingness and willingness, not forced buying and selling." Tang Cheng walked into the yard and sat down beside Ma Dapeng slowly, looking at Old Dongbei with an unkind look.
The knife-shaped face stepped on the foot, "As the old saying goes, a strong dragon will not suppress a local snake. For you people who live on the land, we are just passers-by. We passers-by just want to abide by the rules and trade with you, but you still want to blackmail
There is no justification for the idea of eating black people and taking our things by force."
"What you are relying on is just the so-called strength. If that's the case, let's have a fight. There are only three of us. You can call as many people as you want. But I have to make it clear first, I and my
Brothers have been killing little Japs all the way south, so this hand does not matter. If your people are really hurt, don't blame us." After Tang Cheng finished explaining to Dao Tiao Lian.
With these words, Lao Dongbei let go of his feet and drove the shamed knife-face out of the yard.
"Uncle Ma, you are Uncle Han's friend. We won't do anything to you. As long as you help us cross the river, we will still be friends. If things don't change, maybe we will have a chance to meet. Now
Things have been done. When we meet again in the future, it will be a life-and-death situation. You must think about it." Tangcheng now looked like an old man in the world. Not only Ma Dapeng was frightened, but also the old Northeastern man.
When he looked at Tangcheng, he also looked surprised.
"Uncle Ma, please be busy first. We will go back to your home and wait for your good news. We will take good care of your family. You don't have to worry." What Tang Chenglin said when he walked out of the yard shocked Dapeng.
, this is treating his family as a hostage. If he can't find a boat tonight, this young boy might really kill his family. After Tangcheng and Laodongbei left, Ma Dapeng was very anxious.
He also rushed out of the yard in a panic. Ma Dapeng was now complaining about Old Man Han, who the hell did he bring here.
When returning to Ma's house, Tang Cheng secretly laughed at Lao Dongbei's hesitant words along the way, but he didn't want to tell Lao Dongbei that he had been on the streets since he was a child and made friends with Jianghu people.
It was too easy. The five members of the Ma family and the Han family were driven into the house by Tang Cheng to sleep. Only the three of them were left in the yard. Facing the brightly opened courtyard door, Tang Cheng and the others had already
Be ready to fire at any time.
Time passed by, waiting for Ma Dapeng, who was sweating profusely, to return to his yard. The Li Family Nursing Home that Old Northeast had been expecting did not show up. "You must be scared, you damn thing, try your damn best."
"Blow." When he learned that Ma Dapeng had found a boat to cross the river, Lao Dongbei, who had been looking forward to teaching the Li Family Nursing Home a lesson, couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. The boat Ma Dapeng found was not too small. Although it couldn't fit a carriage, it was a bit of a problem to cross the river with the horses.
No, when Tangcheng and the others rushed to the riverside to protect the five members of the Han family, Li Fugui, who had been visited by Ma Dapeng, also appeared at the riverside.
I don’t know what Ma Dapeng and Li Fugui said. There was no unnecessary conversation. The two sides seemed to have a business-like handover, with money and goods in hand. In just a few minutes, the rifles that Tangcheng and the others had seized from the Japanese soldiers were returned to them.
After leaving Li Fugui, the heavy ocean had also been put into the leather bag on Liu Shitou's waist. Li Fugui's behavior made Tang Cheng, who watched them leave, secretly marvel. Old Northeast, who wanted to draw a gun, felt that this Li Fugui was a bit
mean.
"Uncle Ma, the boat has sent us back here anyway. Why don't you just get on the boat and send us across the river? I happen to have something I want to ask you about." He looked at the people from the Li family escorting those people.
The rifle was gone, and with a look from Tang Cheng, Old Dongbei pulled out a gun and held it against Ma Dapeng's waist. Without giving Ma Dapeng a chance to explain, Old Dongbei and Liu Shitou hugged Ma Dapeng and got on the boat. Old Man Han could only sigh.
