Everyone in the caravan was dumbfounded. Seeing that their companions who had been laughing and joking with them suddenly turned against each other, everyone was at a loss. The bodyguards and escorts also did not dare to act rashly because their backbones were pointed at with arrows.
The situation was suddenly brought under control by these insiders.
At the same time, the bandits jumped out of the hiding places on both sides of the hillsides and swarmed onto the mountain road.
Soon, the bandits gathered the goods in a pile and gathered all the people from the caravan and the escort agency on the other side.
There was a bodyguard standing there, arguing with a bandit leader.
"You guys are so unruly. You took the money to pay for the road and you still do it!"
"Rules? I am the rule! If you keep shouting that I have done something to you, I will send your head back to Lechang to scare those bastards and ask them to pay the ransom faster."
The bandit leader said viciously.
The bodyguard knew that the reasoning could no longer make sense. The situation was like this and he had to lower his head. He could only grind his steel teeth and squat with everyone.
Another leader said with a smile: "Hurry up and identify yourself so that we can give you a pricing code. If you feel that you are worthless, well, I have raised a group of leopards and wild wolves, and you will be used to feed them."
.Ha ha!"
The people in the caravan sat scattered on the mountain col, dejected. A few bandits walked through the middle with pens and ink, asking everyone for their name and identity.
The Twelve Families of the South China Sea were so angry that they decided to do something big!
Su Dingbo thought secretly in his heart. These guys reacted very quickly. They had just lost at Jinli Steel Plant and were about to win back the victory here at Baixing Mountain.
More than 300 businessmen and bodyguards were kidnapped and had to pay a ransom. The entire Guangzhou and Nanhai counties must be shocked. Not only will public sentiment be turbulent, but the Twelve Families will also be able to use this as an excuse to instigate officials and literati in the DPRK who were bribed by them.
, wrote crazy letters, and reported extensively in newspapers and magazines.
The newly appointed Governor Ye was the first to bear the brunt, and Wu Xueliang, the director of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, was even more difficult to blame.
It is indeed vicious!
"My boss, you must not reveal your identity, just say that you are from Jiayi Trading Company in Tanzhou, Hunan." Uncle Xiao also thought of the key and reminded him in a low voice.
The list was sent out, and the person behind the scenes might kill Su Dingbo when he saw his name. The first was to vent his anger, the second was to warn Ye Xun and Wu Xueliang, and the third was to frighten those Nanhai merchants who had become neutral because of the Jinli Steel Plant incident.
In short, if someone behind the scenes knew the identity of Su Dingbo, the general manager of Jinli Steel Plant, it would definitely be a disaster.
"Uncle Xiao, I know. It's just that I'm worried that I won't be able to hide. They also want to check my photos..."
"You said you lost your ID card and had to go back to Tanzhou to get a replacement."
...
While several people were discussing countermeasures, some bandits on guard came over and said that a caravan of forty or fifty people was coming from the north, only two or three miles away.
Only 40 or 50 people dare to cross Baixing Mountain? This means they don’t take us seriously!
The leader didn't mind taking another group of sheep. He left a small number of his men behind to take care of the prisoners and trophies. He led most of the main force and went up in a chaotic manner.
The registration process was still going on, and I soon walked up to Su Dingbo.
"What's your name?"
"Zhao Zhidong."
"Where are you from?"
"Jiangdong Huzhou native."
"Which trading company?"
"Tanzhou No. 1 Trading Company."
"Where's the body photo?"
"Lost."
"Lost? Haha, you are kidding me! At this time, you said you lost your photo? Do you think you are worthless? Or are you too valuable?"
The person in charge of the registration was the bandit leader. He was literate and had read books, so he was not so confused.
"Come here, search him. See if his photo is missing."
After a search, it turned out that Su Dingbo had already hidden his photos.
"Really?" The little boss stared at Su Dingbo, looking up and down with a smile, "I think you won't cry until you see the coffin. There is no coffin for you to see here. Come, dig a hole and give it to him.
Buried."
"yes!"
Soon, several bandits dug the hole in a hurry. The little leader stood in front of Su Dingbo and threatened: "Hurry up and tell the truth, or I will bury you."
"I am Zhao Zhidong, and I really lost my photo."
"Hey, you have such a tough mouth." The little leader rolled his eyes and pointed at a buddy of Su Dingbo's group, "Tell me, what is his name and his identity? If you don't tell me, I'll bury you!"
The clerk's face changed a few times, and finally he said: "Our boss's name is Zhao Zhidong, and we are all from Tanzhou Jiayi Trading Company."
Su Dingbo brought along all loyal and available people on this trip, so he can still withstand this threat for the time being.
"Hey, they are all tough talkers." The little boss became more and more suspicious. He glanced around and found that there was a guy in this group of people who was only seventeen or eighteen years old, and his face was pale. As soon as he glanced over, he was frightened.
Quickly lower your head.
The little boss walked up to the little boy and said viciously: "Speak quickly, or I will bury you alive!"
Seeing the little boy lowering his head, sweating, and trembling all over, he decided to try harder.
"Someone, drag him away and bury him."
The two bandits stepped forward in response, dragged the boy into the pit, then threw him directly in and started pouring soil into it.
A few shovels of dirt fell on the boy's face. He was so frightened that he lost control of his bowels and kept saying, "Don't kill me, don't kill me!"
"Then tell me quickly!"
"His name is Su Dingbo, the general manager of Jinli Steel Plant." The boy closed his eyes, his face covered with sweat and tears, and spoke the truth with a trembling mouth.
The little boss's eyes lit up and he stared at Su Dingbo, "I didn't expect that I really caught a big fish. I'll hand you over and I'll be rich and famous from now on..."
Suddenly, the sound of crackling firecrackers rang out in the valley, deafening people.
"What's going on?" The little boss was startled and asked loudly.
No one answered him, only the constant gunshots continued to sound, as dense as a summer rainstorm. Soon, a gust of wind blew, bringing with it a thick smell of gunpowder smoke, mixed with the faint smell of blood.
The remaining dozens of bandits gathered on one side, surrounding the little leader.
"Master Six, what should we do?"
Before the little leader had time to reply, a group of people emerged from the grass nearby and opened fire. A dozen people fell down in an instant. Then those people rushed over with bayonets in hand.
fo
The little leader saw with his own eyes a bayonet pierced into the chest of one of his men. He held it with both hands desperately, crying and begging for mercy, but he still couldn't stop the cold bayonet from slowly piercing into the flesh and blood, and then the hot blood flowed out desperately.
gush.
The little leader was so frightened that his legs were weak, and he was about to turn around and leave. The bodyguards among the prisoners, who were armed with thugs, suddenly became violent. They picked up the knives and guns dropped by the bandits, and worked together to kill the bandits.
An hour later, a man covered in grass branches and leaves came over.
"I am Shu Changyi, the battalion leader of the special detachment of the Shonan Reclamation Reclamation Regiment. This time I was ordered to ambush the Baixing Mountain bandits and completely eliminate them. Everyone is safe now."
After making the introduction, Shu Changyi walked towards an escort, the one who argued with the leader just now, raised his hands and asked: "Brother, are you Wang Yi from the Nanhai District of the General Intelligence and Investigation Bureau? A brother from the Judicial Investigation Bureau has already said hello to me.
"
"It's really your honor, I'm very happy to fight side by side with the brothers of the Reclamation Corps." Wang Yi replied, then pointed at Su Dingbo and introduced: "This is Su Dingbo, the general manager of Nanhai Jinli Steel Plant. He is responsible for the mission of the county governor's office.
"
"Oh, it's Su Dong's family. We have been notified." Shu Changyi said politely, "We will be responsible for security for the rest of your trip."
"Thank you Shu Lingying." Su Dingbo said politely.
After saying a few words of greetings, Shu Changyi and Wang Yi went off to do their business. Su Dingbo also started to pack up and prepare to hit the road.
"Boss, what should I do with Xiaojia?" Uncle Xiao pointed at the young man who was hiding in tears.
"I can't blame him for this. He is only seventeen or eighteen years old, so he can withstand such a thing. If it were me, I would be frightened. It's just that he won't be able to participate in the subsequent events. In this way, let me first
When he returns to Panyu, I write a letter asking the Donghai Chamber of Commerce to recommend him to study at Jiangning Commercial School for two years."
Su Dingbo thought about it for a while and made a decision.
"That's fine." Uncle Xiao looked at the young man with a complicated expression.
Su Dingbo took him there this time, naturally treating him as a confidant. He was young and youngest, and had a brighter future. It was just bad luck that he met bandits and was forced to confess. Although he was really not to blame, he could no longer be a confidant.
A member of the team.
It is also a good thing to go to study for further study. This chapter has been completed!
