"How did I know that those Qiu Ba people would make such a big fuss? They originally said they were just looking for the guns and ammunition that their soldiers secretly sold. I didn't expect them to steal Gao Sheng. However, Gao Sheng's smuggled cigarettes have been given to others.
Take a seat, there are 30 boxes of clouds and soil and 40 spears, which are all serious crimes that require beheading." Ma Dapeng, who had shaved green hair, looked at the county magistrate who hurried to the headquarters of the garrison in embarrassment, but he was thinking in his heart
Think about how much benefit you can get.
Huang Chengzhong and the others moved very quickly. After Liu Shitou and the others confirmed the information they had investigated, Huang Chengzhong led more than 50 people to directly surround the Qianjia Alley where black market merchants gathered. There were many shops in the Qianjia Alley, but there were many
The shops are all engaged in black market business. The shopkeeper who looks very friendly with a smile on his face may be a black market businessman who throws weapons. The guy running on the street to greet customers may be a black market broker of a certain store. There are more than 100 people in Qian's alley.
Half of the shops are engaged in black market transactions.
Huang Chengzhong and the others made very clever excuses. Many defeated soldiers who had withdrawn from the front line would often deposit their weapons and even military uniforms in pawn shops in exchange for money. Although this was not allowed, the profit-seeking pawn shops did not care about this. Huang Chengzhong arranged it first.
Huang Chengzhong took several of his wounded soldiers to Gaosheng Pawnshop and pawned them with old Hanyang weapons, and then led people to ask for the guns. Naturally, the pawnshop could not return those guns, so Huang Chengzhong decided to attack Gaosheng Pawnshop.
excuse.
Dozens of armed soldiers surrounded the alley of Qian's house. Originally, other shops were standing guard in front of their own shop to watch the excitement, but after the soldiers took out the boxes containing tobacco from Gaosheng's pawn shop, these...
The shopkeepers who made a living through the black market business knew something was wrong. "You lawless Qiu Ba, I'm going to sue you. Do you know whose shop this is?" Lao Chaofeng and his clerk from Gaosheng Pawnshop were pushed down in the middle of the street by the soldiers.
, the gray-faced pawnshop owner was also dragged out of the pawnshop, along with several long boxes containing 40 rifles.
Although the pawnshop owner was shouting loudly, his trembling legs could no longer hide the fear in his heart at this moment. Whether he was hiding arms or reselling cigarettes, any one of them would be enough to kill him.
Now he only hopes that his boss can come to save him soon. Being able to open a pawnshop is definitely not an ordinary person, especially being able to open a pawnshop in the alley of Qian's family is even more extraordinary. Unfortunately, Huang Chengzhong is a fool who only knows how to fight.
Qing, since he had already taken the tobacco and weapons from Gao Sheng's pawnshop, there was absolutely no chance that he would give up and give the items to Gao Sheng's pawnshop.
Shopkeepers watching along the street saw that Gao Sheng's shopkeeper and Lao Chaofeng had been arrested, so they panicked and hurriedly told their clerks to close the business. However, their speed could not match the speed of loading rifles in the hands of soldiers, and they were filled with black holes.
With the gun pointed at his head, no store dared to shout to close down. Huang Chengzhong had a list in his hand. It was a list that combined the information provided by the garrison and Liu Shitou. It included all the people in the Qian's alley.
For shops operating black market businesses, Huang Chengzhong only needs to lead his soldiers to search those shops according to the list.
Tobacco, weapons and ammunition, and medicines in short supply were moved out of those shops one by one. The shopkeepers and clerks cried hard. Unfortunately, their tears failed to move these fierce soldiers. There were also beatings coming from the shops one after another.
and screamed and cursed. "You see, these medicines alone are enough to treat the injuries of our two injured brothers in the shelter. Maybe there are still some leftover that can be sent to the front line." Huang Chengzhong casually grabbed a first aid kit from a box.
The frontline troops no longer have such first aid kits, and injured soldiers can only use strips of cloth torn from their military uniforms to bandage their wounds.
One after another, shop owners who had received the news came to Qian's Alley, but unfortunately they were all blocked by the soldiers. After making a fuss, these shop owners turned around and went to the county government. The only thing they could think of now was to go to the county government to seek help.
Help. These people who ran to the county government did not know that just when Huang Chengzhong started to block the alley of Qian's house, people from the 60th Army Internment Station also started to search the warehouses of black market merchants scattered in the suburbs.
Ma Dapeng's garrison was transferred to Qianjia Alley by the county government. Unfortunately, these regiment members, who seldom practiced on weekdays, were no match for the veterans on the battlefield. Coupled with Ma Dapeng's secret instructions, it was not until Huang Chengzhong and the others returned with the confiscated contraband.
At the military camp, Ma Dapeng's garrison successfully took over Qian's alley. Facing the county magistrate's inquiry, Ma Dapeng, who was as cunning as a fox, blamed Gaosheng Pawnshop for everything. Hiding arms and large quantities of cigarettes was a major crime at any time. In this way
The charges are enough to make the backstage staff of Gaosheng Pawn Shop weigh their abilities.
"How about I go to their military camp in person and see if I can talk to their commander. Maybe there is some misunderstanding. As long as the misunderstanding is cleared up, maybe the things they took away can be restored.
I can get it back." Ma Dapeng is basically a guy who can squeeze the oil out of wheat straw. Taking advantage of those shop owners who were in dire straits, Ma Dapeng volunteered to be a lobbyist. Of course, lobbyists cannot go empty-handed, so Ma Dapeng took the opportunity to help
Huang Chengzhong and others asked for a large amount of grain.
"Captain Ma, I really want to thank you for your help this time, brother, otherwise we wouldn't be able to get so many medicines. The battle on the front line is very miserable, and the troops are short of these medicines. You have helped us a lot.
"When Ma Dapeng rushed to the 58th Army reception station with several carts of food, Huang Chengzhong was busy sorting the medicines. Tangcheng said that this matter would be done in the name of the 58th Army and the 60th Army. As long as the things were sent to the front line,
This was no longer a private action of the two shelters. Things really got into trouble, and in the end they couldn't be blamed.
Ma Dapeng's attention was obviously not on Huang Chengzhong. His eyes had long been fixed on the boxes containing cigarettes. For him, Huang Chengzhong's dry thanks were far less tangible than the cigarettes. The greed in Ma Dapeng's eyes made him
Huang Chengzhong was secretly annoyed, but he did get help from Ma Dapeng in this matter, so Huang Chengzhong could only smile and say, "Captain Ma, as we agreed in advance, the medicine, food, weapons and ammunition are ours, and you are in the smoke."
Thirty percent, the rest has nothing to do with us."
"Yes, yes, that's right. Webmaster Huang, you are a cheerful person." Ma Dapeng secretly calculated in his mind how much tobacco he could get. tobacco is now hard currency, which is much better than the indispensable banknotes. Allocate to Ma Dapeng
The amount of tobacco and soil is easy to calculate. All the tobacco and soil confiscated from Qian's alley are piled together. Ma Dapeng's adjutant will collect the share that the garrison deserves according to the ratio of 30%. Ma Dapeng will personally leave a secret mark on the box.
, and then stored in the receiving station first.
Ma Dapeng was obviously a veteran. He quickly separated out his portion and marked it secretly, and then took Huang Chengzhong to a more secluded corner. "Stationmaster Huang, the food I brought is the food from Qian's Alley.
The merchants put it together, I'm not here to show you favors, you just need to hand over the shopkeepers and clerks you captured to me, I don't want to get involved in other things." Both sides lose the benefits, these are those
It's a common trick used by people who eat from the government, and Ma Dapeng is an expert among them.
Ma Dapeng, who just wants to live a good life, likes to do this kind of thing. He uses food in exchange for the shopkeepers and clerks who were captured by Huang Chengzhong. He neither offends those merchants nor violates the agreement between himself and Huang Chengzhong, let alone arresting those shopkeepers and clerks.
The idea was Ma Dapeng's. Since it was something that had been agreed upon, Huang Chengzhong had no intention of blocking it. He exchanged some useless shopkeepers and clerks for a few carts of grain. In such an exchange, Huang Chengzhong hoped that the more the merrier.
After sending Ma Dapeng away, Huang Chengzhong immediately organized people to separate half of the medicines separately. Tomorrow, trucks transporting wounded soldiers will come down from the front line. These medicines will be sent back to the front line through those trucks to the troops of the 58th Army. Once the people have it,
After getting money, not only will his tone of voice become much tougher, but his waist will also be much straighter when he walks. Huang Chengzhong looks like this now, and when talking to Tangcheng, he will also look like a nouveau riche from time to time.
Face.
"Don't get too proud too early. It's important to send those medicines to the front line as soon as possible. Drag your 58th Army and 60th Army into the water as soon as possible. This way, the responsibility of the two of you will be much smaller, in case things really get into trouble.
If you make it, there will be people who can help you speak." Tang Cheng didn't care about Huang Chengzhong's appearance as a nouveau riche. When he was in Mengcheng to suppress the bandits, facing the mountains of loot, he might not have performed as well as Huang Chengzhong does now.
so.
"It will be transported tomorrow, and will be sent directly to the front line in trucks transporting wounded soldiers. For the sake of these medicines, those officers should say a few good words to me no matter what." Huang Chengzhong replied with confidence. He is still there.
I don’t know what’s going on with the 60th Army. If the search of the black market warehouse goes smoothly, maybe the harvest this time will be a lot more. Huang Chengzhong didn’t know that the whole of Liuyang was in an uproar because of this incident, and Ma Dapeng failed to get the merchants back.
Angry merchants have blocked the county government over the seized items, asking the county magistrate to come up with a solution.
"I think you shouldn't get involved. People have made it very clear that they are here to search for weapons and ammunition. You didn't see it. The weapons and ammunition found in the alley of the Qian family are enough for me to equip a company."
No wonder they put up such a big battle." Ma Dapeng naturally wanted to speak for Huang Chengzhong. When the county magistrate, who originally wanted to stand up for the merchants, heard this, he immediately went to Changsha for temporary refuge on the pretext of a business trip.
Those merchants were left to Ma Dapeng to deal with.
