Chapter 12: Twists and turns
The ocean in the money bag was really not enough for 90 yuan, Tang Cheng counted out 50 yuan, and the money bag was already empty, and after glancing at the 50 oceans neatly arranged on the stone table, Tang Cheng smiled and raised his eyes to look at the knife-faced butler. "How can you really buy a gun, just according to the price we quoted, I will accept the money first, and it will be regarded as the fixed money you took, and if you don't come to send money to get the gun before dawn, I won't return the money."
Facing the shell gun in the hands of Lao Northeast and Liu Shishi, who was glaring angrily, the knife-faced butler had to glare at Tang Cheng, and then left in a hurry, facing the domineering Tang Cheng, even Ma Dapeng, who had been supporting his family by selling stolen goods, couldn't help but change his face. "Han Laojiu, tell me the truth, what is the origin of these three people? Why don't I look at that kid who counts money? He didn't go to send the knife-faced butler away, and Ma Dapeng, who looked uncertain, pulled Old Man Han and whispered, trying to inquire about Tang Cheng from his old friend.
The old fox-like old man Han was obviously very happy to see Ma Dapeng deflated, and while laughing, he said a lot according to the Yunshan Mist Cover that he had already discussed with Tang Cheng, but Ma Dapeng, who was confused, still couldn't find out the details of Tang Cheng. "Oh, I said when did you Ma Dapeng become a broken-mouthed woman, why do you ask so much, you just need to help us cross the river, and don't ask about things that have nothing to do with you." was a little irritable by Ma Dapeng's question, and Old Man Han had no choice but to darken his face, and Ma Dapeng gave up and changed the topic.
"This Li Fugui is the biggest rich man in Lanxi Town, before the little devil and the national army started, Li Fugui had already sent his two sons into the national army, and most of his family's guards were recruited by Li Fugui's eldest son Li Congwen from the national army." was asked tightly by Old Man Han, Ma Dapeng had no choice but to talk about the Li family, but it could be heard from his words that Ma Dapeng's words were still envy in addition to envy.
"There are more than 30 of those guards in his house, a water of national army rifles, I heard that there are also small cannons and machine guns, the Li family can't afford to offend." Ma Dapeng wanted Tang Cheng and them to retreat, so he exaggerated the strength of the Li family by a few points, but it caused Lao Dongbei to laugh. The Li family is just a rich man, although the Li family has more than 30 people who were born in the army, but people like Lao Northeast who have traveled through the mountains of corpses and the sea of blood are not afraid, he doesn't believe that a rich man like the Li family dares to play tricks with the three of them.
"Uncle Ma, is there a boat crossing the river at night? We wanted to go at night. Although the three of them were not afraid of the Li family, Tang Cheng saw that the faces of the Han family had changed, so he asked Ma Dapeng about finding a boat to cross the river. Lanxi Town is close to the river, and there are many people in the town who rely on the river to mix rice, and Ma Dapeng is a local land-sitting household who lives by selling stolen goods.
Ma Dapeng is also a person who has been walking the rivers and lakes for a long time, when Old Man Han was waiting for Tang Cheng to make an idea, he had already seen that Tang Cheng was the one who took the idea, and Tang Cheng, who would listen to it, asked him about crossing the river, and Ma Dapeng immediately showed a look of embarrassment. "It's not easy to cross the river overnight, there are always Japanese motorboats on the river these days, and no one's boat dares to launch at night, and besides, you still have two carriages, and ordinary boats can't send them over."
"This is easy to do" Hearing Ma Dapeng mention the matter of the carriage, Tang Cheng smiled, but there was a coldness in the laughter, "As long as we can cross the river tonight, if the carriage can't cross the river, we don't want it, just take it as a thank you Uncle Ma for your help." It seemed to be in response to Tang Cheng, the old Northeast Kala, who had been calm since he left with that knife face, pulled the hammer of the barge gun, and the muzzle of the black hole was aimed at Ma Dapeng intentionally or unintentionally, and the horrified Ma Dapeng broke out in a cold sweat in the blink of an eye.
Jianghu people are best at looking at their eyes and talking, and being pointed at a gun by Lao Northeast seemingly unintentionally, Ma Dapeng immediately changed his words, promised to go out to find a boat immediately, and said that he would spend money to buy the two carriages brought by the Han family. "What's going on? Are those guys relieved, our lord is still at home waiting for a reply. Ma Dapeng, who left the house, turned two rows of houses and knocked on the door of a family, and the knife face that had just left with hatred was waiting for Ma Dapeng in the courtyard of this family.
didn't have time to answer the knife-faced question, Ma Dapeng first grabbed the teapot and poured it into his mouth, and then said slowly, "I don't think this is the case, the three people who came with Han Laojiu are not simple, although Han Laojiu didn't say what they did, but I can see that those three people have killed people, and those nurses of your Li family are not their opponents, I think it's better to forget it." Ma Dapeng originally wanted to partner with the Li family to eat black and eat black and buy the rifles and bullets they brought in Tangcheng, but he didn't think about it, but he touched the nail, and Ma Dapeng, who was frightened by the old Northeast, was already planning to stop fighting.
"That's not good, I've already told my master, I don't care who those three are, the ten spears they brought must fall into the hands of our Li family." Seeing that Ma Dapeng intended to withdraw, he glared at Ma Dapeng with a fierce face, "I don't believe how powerful the three of them can be, and they can surpass the more than 30 nursing homes of the Li family, you go back to see them now, I'll go back and find someone, Lao Tzu will even save those oceans." Dao Tiao said and left, and walked to the gate of the courtyard, it seemed that he was really going back to Li's house to call someone.
"Ah" screamed, the knife face who had opened the courtyard door and was about to step out screamed and fell back into the yard, the old northeast who should have been waiting in the Ma family was standing outside the courtyard gate, and the knife face who wanted to go out was kicked back into the yard by the old northeast. "Steward Li is so busy, it's dark and he's busy everywhere, why don't we have a good chat." Ma Dapeng was still stunned, and Tang Cheng flashed out from behind Old Northeast.
"I heard what you just said, and it is your willingness to do business, not to buy and sell." Tang Cheng, who walked into the courtyard, sat next to Ma Dapeng slowly, looking at the knife face that was trampled under the feet of Lao Northeast with an unkind look, "As the old saying goes, a strong dragon does not suppress the head snake, for you who sit on the ground, we are just passers-by." We passers-by just want to trade with you by the rules, but you still want to eat and take our things, and this is unreasonable. ”
"What you rely on is the so-called strength, since that's the case, then let's have a fight, there are three of us, whatever you want to call as many people as you want." But I want to make it clear first, my brother and I are all going south to kill the little devils, so there is no weight in this hand, and if you really hurt your people at that time, you must not blame us. After Tang Cheng finished explaining these words to Dao Tiao's face, Lao Dongbei let go of his feet and drove the embarrassed Dao Tiao Face out of the courtyard.
"Uncle Ma, you are Uncle Han's friend, we won't do anything to you, as long as you help us cross the river, then we are still friends, the mountains don't change, maybe we will have a chance to meet." Now that we have done everything, when we meet again in the future, it will be a life-and-death situation, and you can think about it for a long time. Tang Cheng will have a full face of ** lake, not only Ma Dapeng was frightened, but even when Lao Northeast looked at Tang Cheng, he was also surprised.
"Uncle Ma, you are busy first, we will go back to your house and wait for your good news, your family, we will take good care of you, you don't have to worry." What Tang Chenglin said when he walked out of the yard made Dapeng even more shocked, this is treating his family as a hostage, if he can't find a boat tonight, this kid who doesn't look old may really wash his own house in blood. After Tang Cheng and Lao Dongbei left, the anxious Ma Dapeng also rushed out of the courtyard in a panic, Ma Dapeng was complaining about Old Man Han, who the hell were they bringing.
When he returned to Ma's house, Lao Dongbei's desire to talk along the way made Tang Cheng laugh secretly, but he didn't want to tell Lao Northeast that he had been on the streets since he was a child and made friends with people in the rivers and lakes, but it was too easy for Tang Cheng to learn how to speak. The five members of the Ma family and the Han family were all driven into the house by Tang Cheng to sleep, and only Tang Cheng and the three of them were left in the courtyard.
Time passed minute by minute, and Ma Dapeng, who had been waiting for the sweaty man, to return to his yard, and the Li family nursing home that Lao Northeast was looking forward to did not appear. "The deflated calf is scared, as fucking as good as it gets." Knowing that Ma Dapeng had found the boat to cross the river, Lao Dongbei, who had been looking forward to teaching the Li family nursing home, couldn't help but be a little disappointed. The boat that Ma Dapeng found was not small, although it could not be loaded into a carriage, but there was no problem at all with the horses crossing the river, when Tangcheng and they escorted the Han family to the riverside, Li Fugui, who had been visited by Ma Dapeng, also appeared on the riverside.
I don't know what Ma Dapeng and Li Fugui said, there was no superfluous conversation, the two sides seemed to be a handover of official business, one hand of money and one hand of goods, in just a few minutes, the rifles they captured from those Japanese soldiers in Tangcheng belonged to Li Fugui, and the heavy ocean had been put into the leather bag on Liu Shishi's waist. Li Fugui's behavior made Tang Cheng, who saw them leave, secretly surprised, and the old northeast, who wanted to draw a gun and face each other, felt that this Li Fugui was a little interesting.
"Uncle Ma, anyway, this boat has sent us back here, why don't you just get on the boat and send us across the river, the kid just has something to ask you about." Seeing that the people of the Li family carried those rifles away, Tang Cheng looked at him, Lao Dongbei took out a gun and resisted Ma Dapeng's waist, and did not give Ma Dapeng a chance to explain at all, Lao Dongbei and Liu Shishi hugged Ma Dapeng and got on the boat, Old Man Han could only sigh but did not say a word of intercession for Ma Dapeng.
