Chapter 67: The Philistine

"Why?" Seeing that the pharmacy that had been built with the hard work of two generations was engulfed in flames, Yao Wenqing, who was tied up like a rice dumpling with a rope, looked at Tang Cheng sharply, and the men of the Yao family were also forced to kneel on the ground like Yao Wenqing, surrounded by loaded dice and ammunition. The people of the Yao family were forced to kneel in front of the pharmacy, and many people in the town clapped their hands when they saw Yao Ji being engulfed by the fire, and Liu Shishi, who was holding a torch, looked around triumphantly.

"Why?" Seeing that Tang Cheng, who was standing in front of him, ignored him, Yao Wenqing, who did not give up, shouted again. All the people of the Yao family were blocked in this Huandiqiao Town, the pharmacy was also engulfed in the fire, and the hard work of two generations was destroyed in an instant, and Yao Wenqing had to at least let himself die well.

"Why?" Tang Cheng didn't want to pay attention to Yao Wenqing, but this guy was very dishonest, and he couldn't stop yelling honestly, so Tang Cheng had to turn around and look at Yao Wenqing who was kneeling in front of him. "Do you really think that no one knows about the secret collusion between your Yao family and the Japanese? Now is the season of the National War of Resistance, your Yao family is just a merchant, you don't want to serve the country, but secretly colluded with the Japanese to find out intelligence, do you say that the people of the Yao family should not die? Do the people of your Yao family still have the face to face the people standing around here? ”

After finding evidence of Yao Wenqing's collusion with the Japanese from the carriage accompanying the Yao family, they didn't need to use dice, and the people of the Yao family had already been paralyzed on the ground by the angry people around them. Cutting grass must be eradicated, this is what Liu Goat taught Tang Cheng, since he has obtained the evidence that the Yao family colluded with the Japanese, Tang Cheng ordered the dice to kill all the men of the Yao family, as for the female dependents of the Yao family, Tang Cheng did not think that they could escape the punishment of the people.

Tan Fei assumed that he didn't find out the evidence that the Yao family colluded with the Japanese, but Tang Cheng shook his head again and again on his assumption, "The Japanese puppet army in the town has been cleaned up by us, and all the people of the Yao family are under our control, even if we can't find conclusive evidence, won't I fabricate a copy?" We have captured so many maps and notes of the Japanese army, as long as we take out a copy and stuff it into the carriage of the Yao family, it is ironclad evidence, the Yao family is already like this, do you still expect someone in the town to help them talk. ”

"Bandits, you're banditry." Tan Fei, who was speechless, obviously couldn't say Tang Cheng, and could only name the other party the word bandit, but unfortunately Tang Cheng didn't care about this title at all, in Tang Cheng's opinion, when dealing with traitors and scum, it was not too much to use any kind of tricks. Seeing that Tang Cheng ignored him, Tan Fei also wanted to reason with Tang Cheng, but the latter took Liu Shishi up the steps and entered the courtyard of the Yao family.

It is worthy of the hard work of two generations of the Yao family, the Yao family compound covering an extremely wide area can be regarded as a 5-entry courtyard, Tang Cheng just walked around the front yard, and sat in the Taishi chair moved by Liu Shishi, waiting for those heads and faces in the town to come to the courtyard of the Yao family to gather. Although all the Japanese puppet troops entrenched in Huandiqiao Town have been killed, the number of them in Tangcheng is too small to hold Huandiqiao Town, so Tangcheng still insists on going south, but before leaving here, Tangcheng still has some things to do.

killed all the men of the Yao family and copied the Yao family's pharmacy, but there were too many things in the Yao family, and Tang Cheng and they didn't have the ability to take them all away, and they couldn't take them away and couldn't throw them here in vain. The two regiments under Zhou Deshan took Wu Chuang's people to slam the door and arrest people in the town, and the face-faced people who hid at home when they heard the gunshots were all brought to the Yao family compound, and in Tang Cheng's next plan, these people are the protagonists.

The courtyard of the Yao family was full of so-called guests who were forcibly brought in, and the courtyard full of people should have been a lively scene full of guests and friends, but the soldiers with loaded guns in the courtyard frightened the guests, and the whole courtyard seemed surprisingly quiet. Tang Cheng didn't care about the surprise of the guests at all, just sat in the Taishi chair and looked at the cigarettes that Liu Shi had gotten, and the guests who were forcibly pulled in also looked at Tang Cheng in tatters with confusion.

After waiting for Wu Chuang's people to come back, Tang Cheng, who had been smoking at the door with his eyes lowered, raised his eyes and coldly glanced at these people in the courtyard. "Arrest all the people who should be arrested!" Liu Shishi, who was standing behind Tang Cheng, waved his hand, and several of them, who were already gearing up on the side, pounced on them, and pulled out a few shivering guys in the crowd like chickens. There were also those who resisted on the spot not far away, but they were soon tied like a Dragon Boat Festival zongzi by the dice, not only were they punched and kicked firmly, but their mouths were stuffed with rags.

"Hehe, everyone, relax. Everyone here is a person with a head and a face in the disguise of this official residence. Tang Cheng threw the cigarette butt in his hand and circled around the crowd in the courtyard. What is this old gentleman's surname? Tang Cheng stopped next to an old man who seemed to have a good status. Without waiting for the old man who was asked by Tang Cheng to answer, the people sitting next to the old man subconsciously dispersed, and Tang Cheng, who was a little depressed, simply sat next to the old man.

"Sir...... I'm Cai Bingyan from Jishengtang. The old man with white hair arched his hand to Tang Cheng without humility or arrogance, but his two trembling legs had already betrayed himself, and in the face of Tang Cheng, who was covered in blood, the old man was not as calm as he appeared. Although Tang Cheng's national army uniform was full of holes, the captain's rank mark on the collar of the military uniform was wiped very clean, and Cai Bingyan was also a knowledgeable person who had been to Wuhan, so he naturally knew that the young Tang Cheng was an officer.

"Oh, it turned out to be the famous Jishengtang Cai Da in charge, disrespectful, disrespectful!" Tang Cheng's politeness flattered Cai Bingyan. Just glanced at Tang Cheng, Cai Bingyan didn't say a word, in fact, his heart was constantly beating drums, he didn't know what Tang Cheng meant by calling them to the Yao family, could it be that he wanted to knock on the bamboo pole of these people while attacking the Yao family?

Although Cai Bingyan was quite gloating about Yao Wenqing's fate, after all, the two of them were the two largest local pharmacies, and who knew if the Tang chief was killing chickens to show monkeys. Since ancient times, people in business have been afraid that if they are soldiers and gun masters, they will randomly accuse you of a crime, and if you can't eat for a while, you will go around, and if you don't get it right, you will go bankrupt, and even lose your life. In the early years, the garrison in Huangshi City collected a large amount of military funds from the merchants here, saying that it was for the purpose of prevention, Cai Bingyan was just a Chinese medicine doctor who opened a pharmacy, and he was still a little scared.

"The Yao family's collusion with the Japanese, I think Mr. Cai should have heard about it, right?" Cai Bingyan, who heard Tang Cheng's words, was shocked, didn't you hear of it, none of the more than a dozen men in the Yao family ran away, and all of them ate guns. Cai Bingyan's lips were already shaking so much that he couldn't speak at all, he just nodded vigorously at Tang Cheng, and the guests around him secretly sweated for him, for fear that Cai Bingyan's Jishengtang would also be burned to the ground like Yao Ji Pharmacy.

"What the army needs is Western medicine, but there are still a lot of Chinese herbs in the Yao family's pharmacy, these are things that can save people's lives, we have all moved out, I want to ask Mr. Cai if he is interested in taking over this batch of Chinese medicine? We will charge half of the original price of these herbs. After listening to Tang Cheng's words, Cai Bingyan finally felt the ups and downs of life. Just listening to the first half, Tang Cheng was simply looking for an excuse to rip off the bamboo, but when he heard the second half, Cai Bingyan almost jumped up immediately, and took over the Yao family's herbs at half price, which was completely beneficial and harmless to Jishengtang.

After roughly negotiating with Cai Bingyan about herbal medicine, Tang Cheng stood up again, "I think these people who have been tied up by us, I think everyone here should be familiar with them. I don't care what they did before the Japanese came, but after the Japanese soldiers came to the town, they became the doglegs of the Japanese soldiers, and the oppressive people all over the world sought their own personal interests, the Yao family is like this, we haven't let it go, do you think I will let them go?"

Tang Cheng's righteous words made the people in the courtyard speechless, so the people gathered outside the courtyard to watch the excitement saw the scene of shooting people again. The heavy smell of blood slowly dispersed in the courtyard, and some guys in the crowd who were not in good health were already crumbling, but looking at Wu Chuang and them who were loaded with guns around them, these people who were about to hold on could only grit their teeth and continue to persevere. The guys who helped the Japanese soldiers on the wall of the courtyard were just a few unlucky chickens in Tang Cheng's chicken killing monkeys, and his real intention was to deter these face-faced people who were called to the yard.

Cai Bingyan took over the Yao family's herbs at half price is just the beginning, and in the face of huge interests, these faces in Diqiao Town are no longer afraid of the dice and the rifles in their hands. Tang Cheng, who was skillful, successively marked the Yao family's property, family wealth, and houses with prices ranging from half to 30% of the price, and even ignored Tan Fei's dissuasion, took out dozens of Hanyang-made rifles used by the Imperial Allied Army from the trophies and sold them.

"Boy, learn a little, don't think that Tang Lian Chang is a philistine. The army fights not only for weapons and ammunition, but also for the brothers, and these things have to be bought with money, do you think that we have to fight with the devil soldiers while pretending to be bandits to go out to grab food and drink? Tang Cheng was busy collecting a lot of money, and seeing Tan Fei's disdain for Tang Cheng, Wu Chuang, who was already completely convinced, whispered and explained. Our company commander didn't force them, it was all completely voluntary, and it was better than having the brothers go hungry to fight. ”
