Chapter 15: Fake Bandits

"Huh" sat on the body of a dead horse, the exhausted Tang Cheng gasped for breath, he was indeed a little big just now, so rashly carrying two shell guns and a group of cavalry to hedge, now that he thinks about it, Tang Cheng's back is also in a cold sweat. Although he did something very dangerous, Tang Cheng did not regret it in his heart, because he won, and in the 1-on-14 hedging melee battle, he finally won the victory.

Under his feet was a puddle of blood mixed with horse blood and human blood, but Tang Cheng sat here without care, if it was placed a few months ago, Tang Cheng dressed as a rich kid might have spit it out, but now he likes this pungent smell of blood. Not caring about the sticky blood stains on his hands, Tang Cheng took out a cigarette from his coat pocket and put it in his mouth, cigarettes have become an indispensable thing in Tang Cheng's life, the smell of tobacco can make Tang Cheng temporarily forget that he is on the battlefield at the moment.

The mouth was filled with the smell of tobacco, and Tang Cheng, who had relaxed down, felt tired and uncomfortable in his body, and lowered his head to check the gauze on his legs, and the blood stains came out of the gauze again, Tang Cheng's face showed a wry smile, and it seemed that he would be taught a lesson by Tian Kui again in a while. Jiujin, who didn't know where to shoot the bullet just now, walked over with his rifle, Jiujin liked a powerful grenade, whether it was a pistol or a rifle, it was no different from an ordinary wooden stick for Jiujin, so he only fired one shot just now.

The two Sichuan soldiers who followed Tang Cheng to charge were still clearing the bandit riders on the avenue, and the blood-stained bayonets had stabbed in and out of those riders, and no one said that what they did was wrong, because mercy to the enemy was a harm to themselves and their robes. The bandit rider who had been hit by a bullet or planted on horseback was stabbed like a sieve by two Sichuan soldiers, and looking at the horses lying in a pool of blood, Tang Cheng suddenly had an idea.

"Nine catties, a fire at this point, how about we roast horse meat?" Tang Cheng only thought about roasting horse meat, but completely forgot that there was no firewood to be found in the wilderness here. Seeing that Tang Cheng still had the energy to joke with Jiujin, Liu Goat, who had wanted to come over, temporarily dispelled this idea, and turned to hearing the news of the few surviving bandits who were brought back, he must figure out the question in his heart.

"Whatever I ask you, you answer, there are five of you, and if you answer differently, I'll bury you all alive here." The five bandits who had been brought back knelt on the ground in a row, and Liu Goat's crossed legs of the golden knife stood in front of them. Judging from the situation of this group of people just now, these guys have never fought at all, but these guys who have never fought are equipped with shell guns with a lot of water, and there are so many horses, which has to make Liu Goat suspicious.

"Master Jun, just ask, if we have half a lie, you will cut off the guy who eats on the small neck and kick it as a ball." A smart-looking guy immediately picked up Liu Goat's words, and the four kneeling next to him also nodded their heads, saying that they would never tell lies to coax Liu Goat. Liu Goat's methods, these bandits have already been taught, and in the face of more than a dozen black hole guns, even if they are bold, they don't dare to tell lies to coax Liu Goat.

"What? You said that you are not bandits, but people from the Li family of the Mengcheng Chamber of Commerce? Tian Kui, who was hurriedly called by Liu Goat, was immediately dumbfounded when he heard the words of those bandits, although the Mengcheng Chamber of Commerce was a vendor organization, but their president, Li Linge, was not a good person. If this gang of guys pretending to be bandits is really Li Linge's people, then it will be troublesome, and the people in Mengcheng know that this Li Linge has something to do with the people of the national government, and even the county magistrate of Mengcheng has to salute the old lady of the Li family when he enters the door of the Li family.

"Is this Li family's power great? Can you have the gun in Lao Tzu's hand even more powerful? Compared with Tian Kui's apprehension, Liu Goat has always not cared, just looking at the combat effectiveness of this guy just now, you can know that this Li family is not good, as long as these people in the Sichuan army can recover their strength as soon as possible, with so many weapons and ammunition and dozens of soldiers who have experienced the baptism of the battlefield, even if this Li family in Mengcheng is powerful, I am afraid it is not the opponent of guns and bullets.

After listening to Liu Goat's words, Tian Kui pulled Liu Goat aside with a nervous face and whispered, "This Li Linge is not an ordinary person, I heard that his family lived in Jiuli Bridge in the west of Mengcheng City in the early years, and it seems that he did not have much wealth, and he somehow made a fortune in the twenty-sixth year of Guangxu, and since then the Li family has become a sitting tiger in Mengcheng, whether it is a government official or a local merchant gentry, he is also friendly with the Li family, and he also has a fast gun team at home to escort caravans to places like Nanjing, Beiping and Shanghai. ”

Before Tian Kui's words could be finished, Liu Goat laughed, pointed to the five guys kneeling on the ground and smiled, "Isn't this the fast gun team raised by the Li family, but it has been cleaned up by Lao Tzu, and there are only these 5 cowardly eggs left." As soon as Tian Kui said this, Liu Goat finally figured out what he had been wondering about, no wonder he always felt that something was wrong, it turned out that these guys who were equipped with a water barge gun were actually idle armed by a local merchant.

"Oh, you're still laughing, it's troublesome now, this Li Linge is very well-informed, and he has a good relationship with the upper echelons, if we kill his family's fast gun team, our Tian family will be in trouble in Mengcheng." Tian Kui squatted on the ground with his head in his hands, thinking about countermeasures, and no longer paid attention to Liu Goat's jokes. Tian Kui has always believed in a sentence, there is no impermeable wall in the world, as long as you do it, there will always be a day when the wind leaks. Liu Goats They are just a group of passers-by to Mengcheng, but their Tian family still has to gain a foothold in Mengcheng, if Li Linge knows about this matter, Tian Kui can think of what kind of situation and fate the Tian family will face without using his head.

For Tian Kui's caution, Liu Goat can only be treated with white eyes, this guy is not such a scared face when he asks for medicine money in front of him, how can this become such a virtue. However, Liu Goat just couldn't get used to Tian Kui's timid and scared appearance, which did not prevent him from agreeing that Tian Kui was a good person, "Don't squat here and get in the way, go and call your family back, we'll leave in a while, there is Lao Tzu here, what are you afraid of." Tian Kui was driven to the field by Liu Goat to call his family back, but the battlefield has not been cleaned yet, and the people of the Tian family may have to squat in the field for a while.

Tang Cheng was still pondering the barbecue horse meat, since leaving the home of the old man's daughter surnamed Wu, Tang Cheng didn't seem to have eaten meat again, looking at the horses lying in a pool of blood, Tang Cheng's eyes were full of fragrant barbecue horse meat. The soldiers of the Sichuan Army who were busy cleaning the battlefield and carrying the corpses didn't know what was wrong with this kid, even Jiujin was busy picking up the corpses and the contents of the saddle bag, Tang Cheng became the most idle one on the battlefield.

"Take me to find it" learned from the mouths of the captives that this group of guys from the fast gun team was sent by Li Linge to escort the tobacco to Shanghai, Liu Goat no longer believed that they were only responsible for escorting the tobacco to Shanghai, and did not collect money to come back, Liu Goat had never done the business of selling tobacco and soil, but this did not prevent him from knowing about the matter, he took out a gun and killed one of the five people, and the remaining four immediately told them where they hid the money. Liu Goat's preference for money was equivalent to nine catties of grenades, and after instructing the Sichuan army to hurry up and clean up the corpses, Liu Goat called Tang Cheng to take a prisoner to find the ocean and gold bars they were hiding.

"Money is as important as weapons and ammunition, and these are also their ill-gotten gains from selling tobacco and soil, Lao Tzu should have helped them spend money for them, this is a great thing to accumulate virtue, what kind of expression is your kid." Liu Goat and Tang Cheng escorted the captives out of the field on the left flank of the avenue for more than 1 mile, and found two rattan chests in a place that had obviously been turned over, one containing a dozen gold bars and some gold and silver jewelry, and the other containing 500 pieces of ocean and some fiat currency.

Tang Cheng was dissatisfied with Liu Goat's appearance of being a wealth obsessed when facing the gold bars, and Liu Goat was not satisfied with Tang Cheng's disguised indifference when facing the gold bars, if Tang Cheng really didn't care, then why did he have to sew a gold bar on the inside of the belt. "Na, this is to pay you back the gold bar, don't say that Lao Tzu took advantage of you, you kid." The splitter snatched a piece of jade pendant that Tang Cheng was holding in his hand, Liu Goat took out one from the box containing gold bars and threw it to Tang Cheng, but the latter pouted and snatched back the jade pendant that looked good from Liu Goat's hand.

Tang Cheng is a person who has no specific impression of money, but who would think that there is a lot of money, Liu Goat intends to take those people from the Sichuan army back to Sichuan together, this way people eat horses and chew a lot of money, after entering Sichuan, they also need a settlement fee, if there is not enough money, do they want to go to Sichuan and run to the street to beg for food.

"These are windfalls, Robert said that windfalls should not be kept for long, or God will punish you." Tang Cheng grinned and put the gold bars and jade pendants into the pockets of his military uniform, and then watched as the captives they brought in carried the boxes containing the money and returned to the avenue. "None of these people can stay, staying is a disaster, Doctor Tian also said that the Li family is very powerful in Mengcheng, you don't want Doctor Tian's family to be implicated by us." Tang Cheng didn't know how he could say such a thing, but Liu Shanyang agreed with his proposal very much.

After the cash box was moved back to the carriage, Liu Goat took out his gun and beat it, and the four fake bandits who were not at all wary fell together with their companions. "17 gold bars, 564 pieces of ocean, some gold and silver jewelry and jade, 31 Jin-made shell guns, 1,600 bullets, and some fiat currency cigarettes and other loose things." Traditional Chinese medicine practitioner Xu whispered to Liu Goat the amount of loot after the count, but the latter was thinking about what to do with the corpses.
