"You got these from the Li family, just keep them for yourself. You will need to live after you return to your hometown anyway. The money sent by the Li family can be used for your settlement expenses." Looking at the Li family from a distance.
For the few nephews who were sent, Tangcheng on the cart has never been so comfortable as it is now. With the Li family as guides and hostages, they can successfully cross the territory controlled by the Miao people and reach Guiyang.
The richer people are, the more afraid of death they are. The same is true for the Li family, which has been in Jianhe County for hundreds of years. In the hands of the current generations of the Li family, the Li family, which originally dominated the Miao area east of Guiyang, has long since
They lost their former prestige. If it weren't for Tang Cheng's strong suppression and deliberate friendship, Lao Huang and the others would have been a group of ruffians and rebels. If the current head of the Li family hadn't lost their minds, how could they have come to provoke Lao Huang and the others?
That kind of people.
20 gold bars and 400 ocean dollars, this is the anti-Japanese donation that Lao Huang and his people asked from the Li family. As long as the Li family is not a fool, they will give money to eliminate disasters when a machine gun is pressed on their head.
Decision. Lao Huang is very smart, and the Li family is not a poor family, but he only asked for these things from the Li family. This amount of money is like a drop in the bucket to the Li family. He did not really push the Li family into a corner, but also for his men.
The disabled brothers got the money to settle down. This was Lao Huang's cleverness.
Tang Cheng said he didn't want the 10 gold bars and 200 yuan that Lao Huang brought. In fact, Tang Cheng was not short of money, and he had no idea about spending money. As long as he had food to eat, clothes to wear, and cigarettes to smoke.
Tang Cheng and Lao Huang were chatting in the big car when the moving convoy suddenly stopped. Then Tang Cheng and Lao Huang heard a commotion coming from the front of the convoy. "What's going on? Go to the front, alone."
See what's going on?" Tang Cheng frowned, and Tan Fei immediately jumped off the cart and ran forward quickly.
"In front of you is Longli. It's Xiaodong and the others who had a conflict with the villagers in Longli. The monkey and the third brother are helping to solve the problem." When Tan Fei came back, he hesitated in his words, so he just said
From the very beginning, Tang Cheng had already noticed it. Tang Cheng glared at him fiercely, and Tan Fei told the truth, "It was the villagers in Longli who said that a defeated army had robbed their things. Those people saw Xiaodong
They were all wearing military uniforms, so they just dragged Xiaodong and the others to explain, but the two sides started fighting, and our people didn't suffer any loss."
"What the hell is this? The Li family in Jianhe County is using this excuse to cause trouble for us. I didn't expect that they are going to Guiyang soon, and there are still people who are following me to do this trick." Lao Huang said this.
The young people sent by the Li family immediately became angry at these words. They also gave money to others, so why should the Li family insist on it? Of course, Lao Huang said these words unintentionally.
Seeing the dark faces of the young people from the Li family, Tang Cheng smiled and tried to persuade them, but they finally didn't let them get into trouble.
"Let's go. Since the matter has already happened, there is no reason for us to go around it. Let's go over and see what's going on." Tang Cheng, who no longer needed anyone's support, was the first to get off the cart and then leaned on it.
He walked forward slowly with his crutches, and Lao Huang, who was still angry with himself, followed Tang Cheng, and finally Tan Fei and the young people from the Li family. When Tang Cheng and others rushed to the front, there were already people on the road.
Many people gathered around, including people from the Yunnan Army and local people wearing bare feet and carrying hoes.
"Old man, I have already told you that we just came here today. The defeated soldiers you mentioned are indeed not our people, and the matter of robbing things naturally has nothing to do with us. Can you let your people go first?
Spread out, they are all injured, if one of them fails, someone will be killed." Tangcheng heard Wu Laosan's loud voice from a distance, mixed with the local people's jerky and difficult-to-understand dialect.
Tang Cheng couldn't help shaking his head. Wu Laosan was originally a water bandit who wandered around the rivers and lakes, but he didn't expect to learn to reason with people now. This was originally a good thing, but unfortunately Wu Laosan used the wrong occasion. As Tang Cheng expected,
The old man who was talking to Wu Laosan shook his head repeatedly. He ignored Wu Laosan's explanation at all, and was totally focused on identifying the ones who were snatching the things, namely Xiaodong and others in military uniforms.
"Shitou, go over and tell Wu Laosan to tell all our people to move back. If anyone dares to stop them, just give me a hard beating. Tell Wu Laosan, as long as you don't kill anyone, that's fine." He looked far away.
More local villagers came to the place, and Wu Laosan and others were still hanging around there. Tangcheng couldn't help but feel a little anxious. These local villagers were local snakes, but Tangcheng and the others were outsiders. What if they were here?
When trouble breaks out, these villagers may not necessarily be the ones who suffer. The plan for now is to separate the people first.
"We're beating people. The insurgents are beating people." Not long after Liu Shitou left, Tangcheng and the others heard a burst of panic shouting. The crowd gathered around them immediately dispersed, and Wu Laosan and others took the opportunity to protect them.
The wounded soldiers who were being held back by the villagers retreated. "Put up the machine gun, load the bullets and prepare them. Let me see who is more courageous, or my bullets are more powerful." Seeing his side.
After everyone had retreated safely, Tang Cheng immediately gave orders to prepare to open fire at any time.
Dozens of rifles were leveled, and two light machine guns were loaded. As long as Tangcheng gave the order, the more than 200 local villagers congested on the road would become dead bodies lying in a pool of blood. "Captain Tang, you can't shoot.
, must not shoot, if someone dies, it will be unclear, and it will be us who will suffer the loss." Without Tan Fei's persuasion, Lao Huang, who was still angry at first, had already jumped out. He and Tang Cheng
After being in contact for a long time, Lao Huang knew that Tang Cheng was a ruthless character. If he really shot someone and injured someone, the matter would be a big deal.
He glanced at Lao Huang with a half-smile, and lowered his voice and said softly, "Don't worry, I just want to scare them and those people from the Li family. I won't really order the shooting."
With guns, you have to pay with your life for killing people, and I'm not stupid." After hearing Tang Cheng's explanation, Lao Huang's heart finally fell to the ground, as long as he didn't shoot, it would be fine. Lao Huang felt relieved just now
At the same time, he heard two gunshots in his ears. The sudden sound of gunshots in his ears made him stagger and almost fall to the ground.
It was none other than Tang Cheng himself who fired the gun. He made a horizontal circle with the muzzle of the gun that was still smoking, and a dozen villagers who wanted to gather around again all backed away. "Speak if you have anything to say.
, you have something to talk about, why are you standing so close? Young Master, I have a bad temper and can't bear to be provoked. You should choose two people who can talk to come over and explain the matter clearly. Don't crowd around like a swarm of swarms.
Come here, I have a lot of bullets here. If I really anger the young master, I will tell you first that I will kill him but not bury him."
Guiyang people don't know what Qi Xing means, but some of them understand what it means to kill or bury. Looking at Tang Cheng's arrogant expression and the shell gun in his hand, these villagers finally calmed down. "I saw it.
Well, this is what the soft are afraid of the hard, the hard are afraid of the violent, and the violent are afraid of the scoundrels. I will play a scoundrel today." Seeing these troubled villagers quiet down, Tang Cheng continued to talk to Tan beside him as if nothing had happened.
Fei and Liu Shitou chatted.
Tang Cheng fired, and the chaotic scene calmed down, but no one from the other side of the village came out to take charge of the situation. After half a cigarette, Tang Cheng was unhappy. "I said, you guys have something to do, it's okay.
Just make way for me if you have nothing to do. If it doesn't work, I have no choice but to give the order to shoot." Upon seeing this, Tan Fei and others, who had already received Tang Cheng's hint, began to pretend to pull the bolt of the gun, pretending to be about to shoot.
As momentum gained, the villagers on the forced road retreated again.
"Wait a minute, as soldiers, your job is to protect your home and country. We just want justice. You are so aggressive here with the weapons in your hands. Are you bullying me and there is no one in Guiyang?" Maybe it was because of Tang Cheng.
I was so anxious that one of these villagers finally came out who could take charge. But judging from the appearance of the old man, I am afraid that if the wind blows a little stronger, this old man who talks a lot of gossip will fall down on his own.
"Old man, it's not us who are being aggressive, it's you who are making trouble." Of course, Tang Cheng couldn't play rogue tricks with this old man with white hair and beard, so he had to put away his gun and replied slowly. "My people have made it very clear.
We have just arrived here. As for what you are talking about, it has nothing to do with us. It is your people who have been holding on to my people. Do you have to force us to admit that we have done bad things in your area?
Can’t you let us go?”
Seeing that the old man still had a look of disbelief, Tang Cheng immediately smiled and said, "Fortunately, we have not only people in military uniforms here, but also many civilians. You can always send someone to ask them to see if what I just said is true.
.If you still don’t believe me, I still have children from the Li family in Jianhe County. You can also ask the Li family. The Li family in Jianhe County will never help me lie and deceive people."
Although the old man is old, he is not a confused person. After casually asking a few civilians in the convoy, the old man already knew that he himself had made a mistake. "Even if we made a mistake, then you
You shouldn't shoot casually in front of the common people. Isn't this what your commander teaches you on weekdays?" The old man first scolded Tang Cheng at the top of his voice, and then hit Tang Cheng with his dragon-headed cane.
, then Shi Shiran exhaled and turned around to leave.
"You have seen it, you have all seen it, this shameless old man actually hit me with a cane." The old man walked away proudly, and the villagers naturally followed him. Only Tangcheng was very unhappy and shouted
He wanted to teach the old man a lesson, but unfortunately no one responded except himself.
