Wang Chuyi was not nervous and asked: "Is there any news from Qinglianwei?"
"There is no news yet, but I have notified the county to send someone to inform them as soon as they receive the news of Zhen Huan's arrival in Qinglian County." You Ciren was not worried about Qinglian County, so he sent a special agent to Qinglian County.
Monitor Feng Haijiao's movements outside the fair. As of now, Feng Haijiao has not made any unusual movements.
If Feng Haijiao makes any move, even if Zhen Huan's mountain company does not arrive in time, the normal hiking trip from Qinglianwei to here will still take five or six hours, and it will take more than one day for the large group to move in. So if Sun Dabiao and Feng Haijiao have any
What kind of collusion? If he wants to attack here, his troops must move out one day in advance.
There is no change in Qinglianwei now. No matter what Sun Dabiao's plan is, it is clear that there is nothing unusual about Feng Haijiao. Wang Chuyi and You Ciren are relieved - what they are most worried about is the merger of these two groups.
"Let's go into town!"
Sun Dabiao and all the "virtuous people" in Dalangwei town were waiting at the gate of the village. When they saw Wang Chuyi's sedan chair coming, Sun Dabiao took the lead. The "virtuous people" from all walks of life knelt down and kowtowed heavily, saying "Grass People"
.
He was so respectful that Wang Chuyi couldn't help but ignore him. He opened the sedan curtain and said, "No need to be polite."
"Yes, Mr. Wang, please go to the Dragon Mother Temple first. Tea has been set up there." Sun Dabiao's attitude was extremely respectful.
Wang Chu nodded. He was already sweating profusely - traveling in a sedan chair under the hot sun was like a living thing. Regardless of what kind of medicine Sun Dabiao sold in his gourd, he first found a place to rest and drink some water.
important.
The Dragon Mother Temple in Dawangwei is right next to the polder. It is an inconspicuous temple with three main rooms and a courtyard. The only highlight is the stage opposite the temple entrance - this is also where Sun Dabiao washes his hands in the golden basin today.
You Ciren was very vigilant when he entered the town and looked around, but he didn't see anything strange. The weather was hot and there were few pedestrians on the street. The place had just been looted by Yao people not long ago, and the houses that were still being repaired were in pieces.
He went up and was dejected. He looked carefully and found nothing special. The key transportation nodes were also controlled in advance by the people of the Second Squadron.
When the group arrived at the Dragon Mother Temple, they realized that the whole town seemed to have gathered here. There were hundreds of people inside and outside the pergola around the polder, including men, women, old and young, all crowded together to watch the fun. Seeing Australia
The people who brought them were the Yao people squadron, and there was a commotion in the crowd on the fairground.
"Tell Pan Tianshun and the others to keep their men under control." Wang Chuyi opened the sedan curtain and whispered, "There are great conflicts between Han and Yao here. If trouble occurs, it is not a joke."
"yes!"
The sedan was carried all the way to the Dragon Mother Temple under the escort of the Yao people squadron. Wang Chu took the sedan into the main hall, burned incense and worshiped the gods, and then sat down on the newly installed seat next to the sacred table. Sun Dabiao's housekeeper had already
I prepared face wash and tea and served them respectfully.
While setting up the defense, You Ciren led people around the polder. Although there were many people, it could be seen that most of them were just ordinary people watching the excitement, and there were no such figures as green forest heroes. There were a few
Those with a distinct green forest atmosphere gathered in several sheds. The accompanying steward said: These are Sun Dabiao's "friends" who came specially to watch the ceremony this time.
Since they are "friends", they are probably also bandits from all walks of life. You Ciren thought to himself that this would be a good opportunity to catch them all. Because when he came back, he whispered to his subordinates and kept an eye on the "guests" in the shed - etc.
After the meeting, pick them off one by one on the road.
Sun Dabiao was not idle here either. As soon as Wang Chuyi arrived at Longmu Temple, he immediately brought people over, greeted him and offered tea, and also told Che Luuluo the conditions Wang Chuyi had promised him over and over again.
Chu Yi said impatiently: "Mr. Sun, since these conditions have been promised to you, the Senate will naturally keep its word. But from now on, your people will serve the Senate loyally. Don't think otherwise, and you will naturally keep your promise.
May you be safe and prosperous."
"Yes, yes, I understand! This is all thanks to you, Mr. Wang," Sun Dabiao said, taking out a gift list from his sleeve, "This is a small contribution from me, please accept it."
Wang Chuyi did not accept his gift list and frowned: "Mr. Sun, I accept your wish. However, the Senate has discipline. I cannot accept such a private gift."
"Yes, yes, Mr. Wang, you are honest and upright, but this gift is presented to the Senate by a villain."
Hearing that it was presented to the Senate, Wang Chuyi took the gift list. The items on it were not too surprising. They were just tea, mountain products, leather and other local products, as well as five hundred taels of silver and five hundred taels of silver.
Hundreds of pieces of cloth.
They are all useful things. Wang Chuyi thought to himself. He immediately accepted the gift list and said: "Since it is dedicated to the Senate, I will accept it first. In a few days, I will ask the county to issue one to you.
Receipt."
"Yes, thank you sir!" Sun Dabiao smiled with a smile on his face, as if he had gained a lot of face. He looked at the sky outside and said, "It's almost time, do you think we should start from now on?"
"Well, let's get started." Wang Chuyi put down the tea cup and stood up.
Yangshan County.
It was almost noon, and there were almost no pedestrians on the street. All the businesses were open, but all had weak bamboo curtains hung up. The county town was looted, and now the trade routes to Hunan have not been restored, and the vitality of all businesses is severely damaged.
, some already wanted to go out of business, but it was only because the newly arrived Wang County Magistrate convened several meetings with merchants and promised to exempt them from commercial taxes and various miscellaneous taxes that they were reluctantly persuaded to open their doors for business. However, the business was sluggish and could not be opened even in half a day.
I can't wait for a customer to come. The weather is hot, and everyone from the boss to the waiters is drowsy.
The only lively place in the city right now is a mansion on Xianqian West Street - which was recently purchased by Sun Dabiao in the county. Since he bought this mansion, he has also bought the neighboring mansions and shops at a high price.
Next. There is a lot of construction work, house expansion, and gardens. There are dozens of workers on the construction site every day, and it is very noisy every day.
At noon, the small workers on the construction site came out in twos and threes as usual and took their tools to a restaurant near Ximen - where the craftsmen had three meals a day. This scene has been going on since Sun Dabiao started building houses in the county.
That's it. The National Army on duty on the street is no longer strange. Although Chief Luo raised the alert level today, everyone didn't take it seriously. It's just that there were a lot more National Army personnel on duty near the Sun House construction site.
.
Zhang Tianbo is currently in a tea shed in the west gate of Yangshan, drinking tea absentmindedly and secretly looking at the street from time to time. His captain is actually a polished commander. The so-called detective team has more than 20 retained fast-shift yamen officers, but
These people were under the direct command of the Public Security Bureau and were not at his disposal. Luo Yiming could not trust him and did not give him errands. After the recruitment was completed, he had no work and wandered on the streets every day. His past was gone.
His majesty is weak even when others greet him.
Everyone in the county knows that Zhang Tianbo is now deficient and unhappy at the hands of the Australians. Therefore, not only are the benefits of the past gone, but the people who suffered from him in the past dare not openly do anything to him.
As long as they met on the road, they would not have nice words or good looks, and some would even openly grab him and try to reason with him. Zhang Tianbo avoided them all and endured them all - a gentleman's revenge is never too late in ten years. Now that he has boarded Feng Haijiao's ship,
Just go with the bigger ticket and take the gamble completely.
He peeked at the west gate again. Due to the unrest, the city gates in Yangshan County were not open from sunrise to sunset. It was summer and the days were very long, but the county town only opened at eight in the morning and closed at five in the afternoon.
As usual, the city gate is only half-open so that it can be closed in time in case of emergency.
On duty at the gate of the city was a squad of the National Army. It was meal time, and some fire-headed soldiers came over with burdens and were dividing the food. Workers in a restaurant not far away were squatting or standing around a large wooden basin filled with vegetables.
Eat silently.
While I was eating, someone suddenly screamed: "There's a fire!"
Zhang Tianbo's heart moved, and he couldn't restrain his excitement. He raised his head and looked east: Sure enough, a plume of black smoke had come out of the construction site of Sun Dabiao's residence.
The construction site was originally piled with bamboo, wood and other building materials, but now it was poured with tung oil. The weather was dry in summer, and within a few minutes of setting the fire, the fire spread uncontrollably and flames shot into the sky.
The whistle on the street rang, and the national troops on duty on the street became confused. Many people ran towards the construction site. Several sentries at the city gate also followed them out of their traps and stood on the street to look around.
"Do it!" Zhang Tianbo stood up suddenly, threw the teacup in his hand to the ground, pulled out the dagger from his arms, roared and rushed towards the city gate. Following his signal, twenty people who were eating originally
Several small workers also abandoned their jobs, picked up the shovels, poles, and hoes at hand and rushed to the west gate.
The Nationalist soldier closest to Zhang Tianbo was holding his rice bowl and looking around. He was completely stunned at this moment. He saw Zhang Tianbo baring his teeth and charging towards Zhang Tianbo with a ferocious dagger in his face. He screamed and thrust his rice bowl towards Zhang Tianbo.
He hit him, turned around and ran away, but his feet were unstable and he fell hard. Zhang Tianbo rushed up with three steps in succession, stepped on it with one foot, raised his hand and cut him to death.
Several other soldiers who came out to watch the fun had no time to react. They were knocked down by the bandits who came over with clubs and lost their breath in an instant.
When the bandits rushed into the city gate, they were stopped for a moment by Juma. These precious ten seconds saved the lives of the remaining soldiers. The squad leader on duty raised his gun and shot, knocking down a bandit. While the bandit was panicking,
At that moment, the remaining people immediately retreated into the hidden soldier cave inside the city gate——
