"You still have a lock, there must be something good inside!" Kong Jie said excitedly: "But we don't have the key, how can we open the lock?"
"With all this nonsense, it's just a broken lock." Ding Wei simply picked up the shovel and smashed it against the lock.
With a few "clang" sounds, the iron lock on the box fell to the ground.
Kong Jie's expression was stagnant, with a bit of embarrassment on his face.
This matter was indeed complicated by him.
Ding Wei had also opened the box. When the people around him saw what was in the box, they were suddenly surprised.
Each of these four boxes is filled with golden gold bars.
"Oh my god, this is all gold." Kong Jie said in surprise.
As he spoke, he couldn't help but reach out and pick up a gold bar, put it in his mouth and took a bite. A row of teeth marks appeared on the gold bar instantly.
"Old Ding, gold, it's really gold! We've made a fortune this time!" Kong Jie said excitedly.
Ding Wei smiled and nodded: "More than just making a fortune, the gold in these four boxes can greatly relieve the pressure on our troops."
There are four boxes, each of which is filled with gold. This is definitely a considerable amount of military expenditure.
Whether it's medicines or weapons and equipment, you now have the funds to purchase them.
Kong Jie moved his lips twice, but stopped talking.
Ding Wei already knew what Kong Jie wanted to say. He wanted to leave part of the funds for his own troops.
after all.
In this era, it is easy to do things with gold. Food and cotton cannot be bought with money.
But Ding Wei had other plans for this fund.
Ding Wei smiled and said: "Don't think about this gold. We don't need anything now. It's better for us to hand over this huge sum of money."
The devils are blocking us, and it is difficult to send weapons and equipment out, but gold is different. It is easy to carry and can be converted into cash.
It can just relieve the pressure on some brother troops, but we can't live a good life by ourselves and ignore other troops."
"You're the only one with a high level of consciousness." Kong Jie couldn't help but say something, but he had no intention of refuting Ding Wei's words.
If the brother troops had this money, they would indeed be able to live a better life, and there are more places outside that need this money more than they do.
"Come here, count these gold bars, and then put them away and send them to the brigade headquarters when we go back." After Ding Wei finished speaking, he took Kong Jie and walked out.
One of the soldiers immediately escorted Toyoshi Arai and followed Ding Wei and the others.
After the warehouse issue is resolved, the rest is to resolve the landlord issue in the city.
When Ding Wei and others walked out, the streets were already filled with people, and there was a large space outside the gate. Four people were kneeling on the ground with their heads held high.
They were still shouting: "Damn it, you have turned the world upside down, and you still dare to arrest us."
"Do you know who we are? Behind us is General Shinozuka!"
"You guys are a bunch of stinky people, let us go quickly, otherwise I won't be able to get around you."
…
These landowners didn't seem to understand the current situation, and they were all arrogant, shouting at the top of their necks.
"Be honest!" There were a few soldiers standing beside them. Seeing the appearance of these landlords, they kicked them hard with their feet.
Seeing Ding Wei walking out, one of the soldiers immediately came out and said: "Captain, we arrested all the people according to your list, but only four people were arrested.
No more, no less, four landowners, one of them happened to have arrested one person in charge, and the other small landowners are in other counties, not in Dingyang County."
"Damn, I really gave them an advantage. I thought I could take it all away in one pot." Kong Jie couldn't help but said.
"Don't worry, it's okay if you can catch a few old guys." Ding Wei said with a smile.
With that said, Ding Wei walked towards the four landlords.
Hearing the footsteps next to their ears, the four landowners looked up together. Originally, they wanted to say something arrogant, but they saw Arai Toyoshichi also being tied up.
The expressions of the four landowners suddenly solidified on the spot.
Arai Toyokichi and the others naturally knew each other. When Tamaki Rei was blackmailing him, Arai Toyokichi was with him.
"Hey, why don't you stop screaming? You were so arrogant just now." Ding Wei said with a smile.
The four landlords looked at each other in disbelief, with their heads hanging down, not daring to say a word. With all their little backers gone, how could they dare to continue to be arrogant?
"Is it them?" Ding Wei turned to look at Toyoshi Arai and asked.
Arai Toyoshi nodded repeatedly: "Yes, it's them, one Li Chengjia, the other Liu Shixin..."
Since it's them, it's easy to handle.
"Come here, bring me my ghost-headed sword!" Ding Wei shouted loudly.
After a while, there was a soldier carrying a sharp sword and handed it to Ding Wei.
The eyes of the people around him were attracted by Ding Wei. They all looked at Ding Wei, wondering what he wanted to do.
"You don't have to be afraid. We are the 28th Regiment of the Eighth Route Army. I am the commander of the regiment, Ding Wei. I have kidnapped these landlords here specifically to avenge you!" Ding Wei said loudly.
"We have helped you kill the devils and traitors in the city. Now, I will kill these evil-doing landlords in front of you!"
Hearing this, a strange look suddenly flashed in the eyes of the people, and the expressions on their faces became excited.
These landowners did many bad things, but because they took refuge in the Japs and used the Japs as a shield, they caused trouble in all directions in the county.
The common people have long hated these landlords.
"Don't kill me, don't kill me. I'll give you all the money you want."
"I have money, I have a lot of money. Let me go and I will give you whatever you want."
"If you dare to kill me, I will make you look good. The imperial army will never let you go easily!"
…
Seeing Ding Weilaizhen, the other three landlords were a little scared, but there was one guy who was not afraid of death. The one who yelled the most arrogantly was the largest landlord in the county, Li Chengjia.
Seeing that this landowner dared to be so arrogant even though he was already on the verge of death, Ding Wei would naturally not be polite to him.
Carrying the ghost-headed sword, he walked to his side.
But Li Chengjia still scratched his neck and shouted: "Cut me, if you have the guts, just chop me. They are just trying to get some money. I have a lot of money."
Let me go quickly and provide me with good tea and water. Maybe I will be happy and be more tolerant to you."
"Do you want to die?" Ding Wei said concisely.
"You dare to threaten me, if you dare, just kill me. See if General Shinozuka will let you go!" Li Chengjia didn't know that he was about to die, so he was still shouting.
"If you want to kill me, I'll make it happen!" Ding Wei was too lazy to talk nonsense, picked up the ghost-headed sword, and slashed straight at Li Chengjia's neck.
"Crack!"
Ding Wei put away his knife and chopped off Li Chengjia's head.
A black shadow suddenly flew up from the air, drew an arc in the air, and then hit the ground heavily.
A headless corpse suddenly appeared on the ground, and a column of blood spurted out.
Blood was like a fountain, constantly spurting out from the wound the size of a bowl, dyeing the surrounding ground red, and soon a pool of blood gathered.
The expression on Li Chengjia's face still maintained the arrogance he had before he was alive. His eyes were as wide as cow dung, and his mouth was slightly open, as if he wanted to say something.
He probably didn't expect that Ding Wei would be so straightforward and just kill him without saying a word.
A lot of the blood that spurted out from Li Chengjia's body was sprinkled on the other three landlords, turning them into bloody men.
The three landowners were immediately frightened to death. Their faces and bodies were covered in blood, their bodies were trembling slightly, and their upper and lower teeth were chattering in fear.
All three of them were frightened by Ding Wei's sharp knife.
I thought Ding Wei was just saying that they could save their lives if they just followed the slope. They were very skilled in buying lives with money. When had they ever encountered such a person?
"Folks, the head of the Li family has been chopped down by me. I am not happy to see it!" Ding Wei raised his sword.
Scarlet blood continued to flow down the blade, and under the sunlight, the blood shone with a strange light.
"happy!"
Among the crowd, I don't know who shouted first.
Afterwards, many people shouted in unison: "Happy!"
"Okay, since it's fun, I'll chop another one to add to the fun!" Ding Wei laughed, not waiting for the landlord next to him to ask for mercy.
Another chop with the knife.
With a "click" sound, another pillar of blood spurted out, and another landlord was chopped to the ground.
The voices of the people were even louder.
Ding Wei got up and slashed with two more swords, directly knocking the remaining two landlords to the ground.
There were four more headless corpses on the ground, and there were also four more heads on the ground.
"Go, hang the heads of those landlords on the city wall when you leave!" Ding Wei pointed at a soldier.
"Yes!" The soldier stood up to accept the order, picked up the four heads on the ground, and walked towards the main city gate.
Seeing this scene, Toyoshi Arai was so frightened that he peed his pants. He collapsed on the ground and looked at Ding Wei as if he were looking at a monster.
He never expected that this guy who looked ordinary in appearance could kill people so easily.
After dealing with these four landlords, half of Ding Wei's body was stained red with blood. He looked like an evil ghost crawling out of hell, which was terrifying.
"Don't come here, don't come here." Toyoshi Arai shouted in fright.
Ding Wei was too lazy to pay attention to him. He grabbed his neck and dragged him into the open space like a little chicken.
No matter how hard Toyoshi Arai struggled during this period, it had no effect.
"Don't kill me, don't kill me, I've said everything, why are you still doing this!" Toyoshi Arai was lying on the ground, squirming like a maggot in the toilet.
Ding Wei stepped on this guy's back and said, "Don't fucking move around. If I chop it crooked again, don't blame me if you crook your neck."
As he spoke, Ding Wei took the ghost head sword and made gestures back and forth on Arai Toyoshi's neck.
Arai Toyoyoshi had encountered this battle before and was trembling with fear.
At this moment, he felt very regretful that he had not listened to his sister and stayed at home to do business, but had to go to this strange land.
Arai Toyoyoshi had given up struggling at this moment and closed his eyes as if resigned to his fate.
The next second.
Arai Toyoshi felt a pain in his neck, and then his whole vision began to spin.
At the last second when he lost consciousness, he only heard one sentence: "Little devil, don't come to China to do evil next time!"
After killing Toyoshi Arai with one blow, Ding Wei said without turning his head: "Hang this Japanese corpse at the door of the warehouse!"
"Yes!" Two soldiers immediately walked out from behind Ding Wei and pulled his body away like a dead dog.
As the Japs were hacked to death, the people's voices became louder.
When they first saw the people knocking on the door, they were all wearing Japanese clothes, and they were all trembling with fear.
But these "Japs" wearing Japs uniforms were very kind to them. They would help them when they met older people, and they would not beat or scold them.
Finally, when the leader said that he was from the Eighth Route Army, these people were completely relieved.
Basically, the common people have heard that the Eighth Route Army is the people's army, dedicated to protecting the common people from harm.
Today they could see it with their own eyes, and they believed it even more in their hearts. They just didn't understand how the good Eighth Route Army was wearing Japanese clothes.
But this does not prevent the people of Dingyang County from showing gratitude to Ding Wei.
Excited, these people actually knelt down together to express their gratitude.
Ding Wei, with his quick hands and quick eyes, helped an old man up and said, "Folks, what are you doing? Get up all. I can't bear this!~"
The old man choked with sobs and spoke intermittently, but Ding Wei already understood what they wanted to say.
"Folks, it's our duty to help you. Now is just the beginning. In the future, I will definitely eliminate all those who have bullied you in the county!"
"Thank you, thank you so much!" all the believers said in unison, wanting to kneel down again.
Ding Wei had no choice but to say: "Folks, please stop doing this. If you do this again, I will have no choice but to kneel down with you!"
Seeing what Ding Wei said, the people naturally would not watch their savior kneeling towards them, and then stood up one after another.
Ding Wei nodded with satisfaction and said: "The emperor is gone, and now there is no one worthy of your kneeling, and no one is worthy of it. Do you understand?"
The common people nodded in understanding.
"Folks, don't say much. We had a great time watching today. You should go home quickly. The little devil will be back soon to avoid unnecessary disasters!" Ding Weidao said.
"You want to leave?" the old man asked.
The people behind him were shocked when they heard this, and they all spoke out to try to retain Ding Wei.
Ding Wei nodded and said loudly: "Don't worry, we will come back and we won't leave you alone!
Now you go home quickly, and when the time comes, I will deal with all these landlords, and I will lead everyone to fight against the landlords and divide the fields, okay!"
"Okay!" the people shouted in unison.
Most of their land had been taken away by landlords through forcible purchase and sale. When they heard that their land could be returned, the people suddenly became excited.
Finally, they said goodbye to Ding Wei reluctantly.
…
Ding Wei has gained the hearts and minds of the people in Dingyang County.
All this sounds like a long time, but actually happened in a very short time.
When Ding Wei and others led their troops to evacuate, the Japanese reinforcements were still on their way to support, at least an hour away from Dingyang County.
On Li Yunlong's side, the battle has also entered a fever pitch, and the sound of gunfire echoed throughout Sunset Slope.
"Damn it, what's going on? Why do I feel like there are more and more Japs!" Li Yunlong couldn't help but curse.
