Chapter 41
"These are what you got from the Li family, just keep them for yourself, anyway, you will need to live after you return to your hometown, and the money sent by the Li family is just used as your settling-in expenses." Looking at the sons and nephews sent by the Li family from a distance, Tang Cheng on the cart has never been as comfortable as it is now, with the people of the Li family acting as guides and hostages, they can smoothly cross the territory controlled by the Miao people to reach Guiyang.
The richer the person, the more afraid of death, the same is true of the Li family, which has been entrenched in Jianhe County for a hundred years, and in the hands of the current generations of the Li family, the Li family, which was originally in the Miao area east of Guiyang, has long lost its former prestige. If it weren't for Tang Cheng's vigorous suppression and deliberate friendship, Lao Huang and them would have been a group of ruffians and rebels, if it weren't for the fact that the current head of the Li family was dizzy, how could they come to provoke people like Lao Huang and them.
20 gold bars and 400 oceans, this is Lao Huang and people from the Li family to ask for anti-Japanese donations, as long as the people of the Li family are not stupid, they will make the decision to give money to eliminate the disaster when they are put on the head by a machine gun. Lao Huang is very smart, and the Li family is not a family without money, but he only asked the Li family for this, and this money is like a drop in the bucket for the Li family. didn't really force the Li family into a dead end, but also got the money for the An family for his disabled brothers, this is Lao Huang's cleverness.
Tang Cheng said that he didn't ask Lao Huang for the 10 gold bars and 200 oceans he brought, in fact, Tang Cheng was not short of money, and he had no concept of spending money at all, as long as he had food, clothing, clothing, and cigarettes. Tang Cheng and Lao Huang were chatting in the cart, but the moving convoy suddenly stopped, and then Tang Cheng and Lao Huang heard a commotion from the front of the convoy. "What's going on? Go to the person, go to the front and see what's going on? Tang Cheng frowned, and Tan Fei immediately jumped out of the cart and rushed forward.
"In front of Longli, it was Xiaodong who had a conflict with the villagers in Longli, and the monkey and the third brother would help solve it." When Tan Fei came back, his words were a little hesitant, and he only said the beginning, and he was already noticed by Tang Cheng. was glared at by Tang Cheng fiercely, Tan Fei told the truth, "It was the villagers in Longli who said that there were routs who robbed their things, and those people saw that Xiaodong was wearing military uniforms, so they just pulled Xiaodong and asked them to explain, but the two sides fought, and our people did not suffer." ”
"What the hell is going on, the Li family in Jianhe County is using such an excuse to find trouble with us, I didn't expect that this was about to enter Guiyang, and there were still people who played this trick with Lao Tzu." Lao Huang's words made the young people sent by the Li family immediately blacken their faces, and the money was also given to people and sent, so why did the Li family and the Li family bite it. Of course, Lao Huang had no intention of saying these words, Tang Cheng saw that the young people of the Li family had black faces, so he smiled and persuaded a few words, and finally did not let their side make a fuss.
"Let's go, since the matter has come, there is no reason for us to bypass it, let's go over and see what is going on." Tang Cheng, who no longer needed to be supported, was the first to get out of the cart, and then walked slowly forward with his crutches, and the still indignant Lao Huang followed behind Tang Cheng, and finally Tan Fei and the young people of the Li family. When Tang Cheng and the others arrived at the front, there were already many people gathered on the road, including people from the Dian army and locals carrying hoes barefoot.
"Old man, I've already told you, we just came here today, and the rout you are talking about is indeed not our people, and the matter of stealing things naturally has nothing to do with us. Can you let your people disperse first, all of them have injuries on their bodies, and if one is not good, they will die. Tang Cheng heard Wu Laosan's loud voice from afar, mixed with the jerky and difficult dialect of the locals.
Tang Cheng couldn't help but shake his head, Wu Laosan was originally a water bandit who mixed in the rivers and lakes, but he didn't expect that now he has learned to reason with people, which was originally a good thing, but unfortunately Wu Laosan used the wrong occasion. Sure enough, as Tang Cheng expected, the old man who was talking to Wu Laosan shook his head again and again, and people didn't pay attention to Wu Laosan's explanation at all, and they were all interested in identifying Xiaodong and them who were wearing military uniforms who grabbed things.
"Stone, you went over and told our people to come back. If anyone dares to stop me, give me a hard beating, and tell Wu Laosan that as long as you don't kill someone. Seeing that more local villagers came in the distance, and Wu Laosan and the others were still rubbing with people over there, Tang Cheng couldn't help but feel a little anxious. These local villagers are all local snakes, but they are outsiders in Tangcheng, if they really make trouble here, it may not be these villagers who will suffer, and the plan for today is to separate people first.
"Beat people, rebels beat people." Not long after Liu Shishi left, Tangcheng and they heard a panicked shout, and the crowd gathered together immediately dispersed outward, and Wu Laosan and others took the opportunity to protect the wounded soldiers who were held on by the villagers and retreated. "Set up the machine gun, load the bullets and get ready, I'll see if they're bold, or if my bullets are better." Seeing that the people on his side had retreated safely, Tang Cheng immediately ordered to put on a posture of firing at any time.
Dozens of rifles were leveled in unison, and the two light machine guns were also loaded, and as long as Tang Cheng's order was given, the more than 200 local villagers congested on the road would become dead bodies lying in pools of blood. "Company Commander Tang, you can't shoot, you must not shoot, if someone dies, you can't tell you about it, and we will be the ones who will suffer when the time comes." There was no need for Tan Fei's persuasion at all, Lao Huang, who was still angry, had already jumped out. has been in contact with Tang Cheng for a long time, but Lao Huang knows that Tang Cheng is a ruthless character, if he really shoots and injures someone, this matter will be a big problem.
Glancing at Lao Huang with a smile, Tang Cheng lowered his voice and said softly, "Don't worry, I just want to scare and scare them, these things that don't know whether they are alive or dead, and those people of the Li family, I will not really order to shoot, killing people is to pay for my life, and I am not stupid." After listening to Tang Cheng's explanation, Lao Huang's heart hanging in the air finally fell to the ground, as long as he didn't shoot. Lao Huang breathed a sigh of relief, and heard two gunshots in his ears, and the terrifying gunshots that suddenly appeared in his ears almost fell to the ground.
It was none other than Tang Cheng himself, who shot in a horizontal circle with the muzzle of the gun still emitting green smoke, and more than a dozen villagers who wanted to gather around again stepped back in unison. "There's something to talk about, there's something to say, what's the matter with standing so close? Master, I have a bad temperament and can't be excited, so you can choose two people who can talk to come over and explain things clearly. Don't fucking swarm around, Lao Tzu has bullets here, if it really provokes the temperament of the master, I will tell you first that I will kill you and bury it. ”
Where would the people of Guiyang know what qi mean, but some of them understood what it meant to kill or bury, and looking at Tang Cheng's arrogant expression and the shell gun in his hand, these villagers finally quieted down. "See, this is called the soft being afraid of the hard, the hard being afraid of the horizontal, the horizontal being afraid of the scoundrel, Lao Tzu will play the scoundrel today." Seeing that these troublesome villagers were quiet, Tang Cheng was still gossiping with Tan Fei and Liu Shishi beside him as if nothing had happened.
Tang Cheng fired, and the chaotic scene quieted down, but no one from the other party came out to preside over the situation, and Tang Cheng was not happy about half a cigarette. "I said, if you have something to do, you can get out of the way of Lao Tzu, but it really doesn't work, Lao Tzu can only order to shoot." Seeing this, Tan Fei and the others, who had already received hints from Tang Cheng, began to pretend to pull the bolt of the gun, putting on a momentum of being about to shoot, and the villagers on the forced highway retreated again.
"Slow, as a soldier, when you defend the country, we just want justice, you wait for the weapons in your hands to be aggressive here, don't you bully me Guiyang no one cares." It may be that he was forced by Tang Cheng to be anxious, and there is finally a person who can take charge of things from these villagers, but looking at the old man's appearance, I am afraid that if the wind blows a little stronger, this old man with a mouth full of eight shares will be able to fall on his own heels.
"Old man, it's not that we're being aggressive, it's you who are making trouble." Of course, Tang Cheng couldn't play rogue tricks with this old man with white hair, so he had to put away his gun and replied slowly. "My people have made it very clear, we have just arrived here, as for what you said, it has nothing to do with us, it is your people who have been holding on to my people, do you have to force us to admit that we have done bad things in your land, you can let us go?"
Seeing that the old man still looked unconvinced, Tang Cheng immediately smiled and said, "Fortunately, we are not only wearing military uniforms here, but also many civilians, you can send someone to ask them to see if what I just said is true." If you still don't believe me, I still have the children of the Li family in Jianhe County, you can also ask the people of the Li family, the Li family in Jianhe County will never help me lie and deceive people. ”
Although the old man said that he was old, he was not a foolish person, and casually asked a few civilians in the convoy, and the old man already knew that it was his own people who had made a mistake. "Even if we are mistaken, then you shouldn't shoot in front of the people, is this how your commander teaches you on weekdays?" The old man leaned on the old man and reprimanded Tang Cheng with his voice, and then knocked Tang Cheng with his dragon head cane, and then Shi Shiran, who was relieved, turned around and left.
"See, you all see, this old shameless man, he actually beat me with a cane." The old man walked away proudly, and the villagers naturally followed, only Tang Cheng was very unhappy, clamoring to teach the old man a hard lesson, but unfortunately no one responded except himself.
