At the gate of the city, the puppet soldier Wu Xiaosi was holding a rifle and checking the passers-by. At the same time, he was worried about his staggering amount of gambling debts.
"It's all because of my stinky hands. I've learned all the good cards yesterday. You know, I went to the temple to worship the Bodhisattva first yesterday. Maybe my luck will change." Wu Xiaosi was thinking about this, and his intestines were blue with regret.
.
However, there is no point in regretting it now. I feel that I owe a gambling debt. If I can't repay it, the casino will never let it go. Then I'm afraid I won't be able to keep my beautiful wife who has just been married for less than a month.
Although he is a puppet soldier, the boss behind the casino is the Japanese Military Police. Even their leader has to bow his head in front of others with a smile on his face. He, a puppet soldier, has captured a lot of good-for-nothing soldiers.
Who would take it seriously?
The more he thought about it, the more worried he became. Wu Xiaosi kicked an old man's green vegetables away irritably, and then cursed, "Go away, old man, why are you going to sell vegetables in the city so early in the morning?"
The old man was carrying a heavy burden, and the two large baskets were filled with fresh vegetables picked up from the field. Wu Xiaosi kicked them all over the floor, and the baskets also fell to the ground. He did not dare to
Wu Xiaosi could only squat on the ground and pick up the vegetables in the basket with tears streaming down his face.
Looking at the old man's stooped figure, many passers-by behind him cast disdainful and angry glances, whispering in low voices. Although Wu Xiaosi couldn't hear the content clearly, he knew they were definitely talking about him.
"What are you looking at? If you talk nonsense again, I will arrest you all and go to build the turrets." Wu Xiaosi stared like a rooster with its neck strangled, and shouted at the pedestrians, scaring everyone.
I dare not discuss it anymore.
At this time, it was the turn of a group of big men to check. Wu Xiaosi walked forward and felt that there was something wrong with these people. He tightened his rifle and shouted, "Come here and check."
Ma Zhenshan was the first to walk up. With a smile on his face, he came closer to Wu Xiaosi and whispered, "Master Jun, our brothers are all doing private work, so we have brought some prohibited things with us, so you can
For your convenience, I would like to give you a cup of tea." As he spoke, he secretly put a few silver coins into his hand.
Wu Xiaosi weighed it up and found that it was seven or eight yuan. If he borrowed a few more yuan, he should be able to cope with the gambling debt. He was so happy that the wrinkles on his face were smiling, and he waved to the group of people.
, "Go in, hurry up, don't block the place."
Zheng Xiao and Ma Zhenshan entered Dongyang County together.
After entering the county town, Zheng Xiao said goodbye to Ma Zhenshan, saying that he was taking someone to find a friend. Ma Zhenshan made an appointment with him at a meeting place, agreed to meet him in half an hour, and then separated.
Seeing Ma Zhenshan and the others leaving, Zheng Xiao turned back to the two special forces members and said, "Let's go to He Jiu's house."
The loss of contact with Zhuge Hong made Zheng Xiao feel very uneasy. He suspected that something had happened to Zhuge Hong, so he wanted to go find He Jiu and ask him what happened.
The door to He Jiu's house was still ajar, and as soon as he walked to the door, he could smell a strong smell of alcohol. This has become He Jiu's signature.
Zheng Xiao stretched out his hand to push open the ajar door, then observed for a moment and saw that nothing happened, then stepped in. One special force team member stayed outside the gate to guard, while the other followed him into the courtyard.
Stay there and be vigilant.
Stepping into the house, Zheng Xiao immediately saw He Jiu, who was very drunk and sleeping soundly on the ground leaning against the edge of the Kang. He walked up to him, patted him, and whispered, "Wake up, wake up."
Wake up, He Jiu."
He Jiu felt someone calling him in his haziness, but his eyelids were too heavy and he didn't want to open them, so his eyelids trembled a few times and then fell asleep.
Seeing that he couldn't wake up He Jiu, Zheng Xiao looked inside the house and saw a water tank placed in the corner of the house, so he walked over and scooped up a ladle of cold water with a ladle and walked back.
Wow, he raised his hand and poured the ladle of cold water on He Jiu's face. Zheng Xiao stared at his movements.
As the cold water approached, He Jiu moved his body, and then opened his eyes. He didn't expect the cold water to be so effective.
Being doused with cold water, He Jiu couldn't help but wake up. He opened his sleepy drunken eyes, raised his head and wandered around, and finally saw Zheng Xiao squatting next to him. He suddenly woke up from the alcohol and jumped up from the ground.
He stood up and said, "Captain Zheng, you are finally here."
"Where's Zhuge Hong?" Zheng Xiao looked at the fat man who was almost round and asked in a deep voice. He was concerned about Zhuge Hong.
He Jiu shed tears when Zheng Xiao mentioned Zhuge Hong. He wiped his wet face and said, "Captain Zheng, please think of a way to save Xiao Hongzi."
Zheng Xiao frowned. Although he had a premonition that something happened to Zhuge Hong, he was still shocked when he heard the news, so he asked, "What happened to Zhuge Hong? Please tell me in detail.
"
He Jiu didn't know what happened. He just knew that Zhuge Hong went to deliver water to the Japanese captain, but was arrested soon after and put in a gendarmerie cell. He heard that he would be executed soon.
Zhuge Hong and his family have always been kind to He Jiu, so He Jiu still has some feelings for his nephew, so he begged Zheng Xiao to save him.
After listening to He Jiu's narration, Zheng Xiao lowered his head and pondered. He felt that it might not be that simple.
He knew Zhuge Hong's skills very well. Except for the actual combat experience of some special forces members, he lacked everything else. Moreover, he was cautious and steady, so he would not take action unless he was sure.
Now that he has been caught, this shows that there may be powerful characters in the Japs' brigade, and after contacting the Japs, they can send troops in time to try to encircle him. Zheng Xiao always feels that there is a pair of black hands secretly arranging everything.
He had no evidence, just an intuition, but Zheng Xiao's detailed intuition was not wrong, because it had been proven countless times and had never been missed.
Who is so deliberately plotting against him? Zheng Xiao racked his brains for a long time and couldn't think of a way. He simply put this matter aside and concentrated on how to rescue Zhuge Hong.
During this Dongyang riot, the Japs' headquarters must be attacked, so Zheng Xiao can take the opportunity to rescue Zhuge Hong and find out who is behind the plan.
After staying at He Jiu for more than ten minutes, Zheng Xiao took the people away and left some money for He Jiu before leaving. After all, these two times caused him some trouble. Although Zheng Xiao said something evil, but
That was to scare He Jiu, he was not such a vicious person.
Arriving at the meeting point, Zheng Xiao found that it was a ruined temple that had been abandoned for a long time. The abbot and the monk had disappeared somewhere, which made it easier for Ma Zhenshan and the others.
When he arrived, some people had gathered here, all of whom were the commanders of the Dongyang Riot.
In this riot, Ma Zhenshan united seven anti-Japanese organizations. It was a joint operation. The leaders of these anti-Japanese organizations are now gathered here to discuss how to start the riot.
"This is Commander Du Yunze of the Iron-Blooded Crusade." Ma Zhenshan was referring to a middle-aged man in his thirties.
"This is Brigadier Yang Yong of the Loyalty and Salvation Army." This time he was referring to a man with a beard.
"Who is this--"
Ma Zhenshan introduced the responsible persons present one by one. Everyone nodded in agreement and finished their greetings.
