Chapter Twenty-Nine
Someone shot in the town, how could the Wang family, who was sitting on the land of Wang's village, not know, but in line with the principle of prudence, the Wang family just sent two family members out to find out the news. The family members went out for a walk, and it was naturally not good news to bring back to the Wang family, but the Wang family still didn't know that all the Japanese soldiers who were originally stationed here had been killed. "Hmph, don't be complacent yet, as long as the Taijun who went out to collect grain come back, Guan Bao can make these bandits can't eat and walk around." Obviously, the Wang family has regarded Lu Yuan and them as bandits.
Almost the same routine as the Wang family, the Fan family in the west of the town also sent the family out to inquire about the news after hearing the gunshots, but the Fan family was not as cautious as the Wang family, after learning that all the Japanese soldiers left behind in the town were killed, the Fan family immediately sent people to ask for help from other Japanese puppet troops nearby, and at the same time gathered all the family members with guns in the inner house, ready to resist desperately.
The Fan and Wang families were ready to fight to the death, but they didn't want to find the bandits who killed the Japanese soldiers, but the Imperial Cooperative Army, which they were familiar with every day. "Master Wang, there is no way for my brothers to raise their hands to surrender, you don't see it. Ono Taijun and several of them were all shot indiscriminately and killed, especially Ono Taijun, who was even removed from the Tianling cover with one shot. A few of us are soldiers just to be able to eat a full stomach, and no one wants to lose their lives in a daze, if you say that we have a few nests, we will admit it, but if you keep saying that we are the others, we brothers will not dare to admit it. ”
As soon as he thought of Lu Yuan's killing god waiting at the entrance of the alley, the few prisoners of the Imperial Association Army who were forced to come couldn't help but feel a chill in the back of their necks, and when they talked to the old lady of the Wang family, they didn't dare to be as low as usual. "Old man Wang, a few of us are just here to spread the word, and the one over there said, please ask your old man to go to the public office to discuss matters on behalf of the Wang family, as for other things, our brothers don't know."
Old Man Wang couldn't say whether he was disgusted or disdainful of these soldiers of the Imperial Association Army, closed his eyes and pondered for a while, and then asked the housekeeper to bring 20 pieces of ocean to these soldiers of the Imperial Association Army. As the saying goes, eating people with short mouths and short hands with short hands, these prisoners of the Imperial Association Army took the money of the Wang family, and the words were naturally eased a lot. "Old man Wang, listen to a word of persuasion, heroes don't suffer immediate losses, just these guns of the Wang family can't withstand those people, no matter how powerful your family is, can you be more powerful than Ono Taijun?"
Leaving the depressed Wang family in the courtyard, these Imperial Association soldiers went to the Fan family in the west of the town, and in the face of the Fan family, these Imperial Association soldiers were not as good at talking as they were just now. "Master Fan, a few of us are just here to spread the word, I believe that your Fan family already knows what is happening in the town. If the Fan family doesn't go to the office, the fate of those Taijun in the town will be an example, after all, your family also has a young master who acts as an interpreter for the Taijun, and you don't need a reason to kill your whole family. ”
There was no way to ask for help and the strong enemy was beside them, and the Fan family, who was ready to fight to the death, was a little panicked, because when these soldiers of the Imperial Association Army entered the door, they also specially brought a gift, and the Fan family sent to ask for help The family was tied up and sent back. It is almost the same routine as the Wang family, and the Fan family also took out the ocean to give it to these soldiers of the Imperial Association Army, just to find out about Lu Yuan's situation. The prisoners of the Imperial Association Army, who had already been instructed by Lu Yuan, no longer hid and tucked them, but just said that Lu Yuan was extremely strong, which made the Fan family shocked.
Before Lu Yuan's limited time, the Fan and Wang families, who had not shown up, sent people to the public office, but as Lu Yuan expected, the two families only sent their own housekeepers, and they also brought valuable gifts, food and wine. "Well, put it away, we can use these things along the way." Xie Shen and the others were still surprised, but Lu Yuan just casually glanced at the things sent by the Fan and Wang families, but there was no surprise on his face.
Knowing that among the group of people who killed all the Japanese soldiers in the town and occupied the public office, the real person in charge was the young man standing in front of him, and the first reaction of the housekeepers of the Fan and Wang families was to reach out and rub their eyes, because they could not believe that such a young man would be the person in charge of these people no matter what. But the facts proved that their suspicions were wrong, and the young man sitting in front of them was indeed the person in charge of the house, so the housekeepers of the two families were secretly paying attention to Lu Yuan's expression and reaction.
Seeing that Lu Yuan didn't show joy or any other expression for the things sent by the two families, the two housekeepers secretly glanced at each other, and couldn't help but secretly scream in their hearts. When the other party is expressionless, there can only be two answers, one is that the other party is too young to know the true value of these things. The other is that the other party is a person who has seen the world, and people don't look down on these "local specialties" sent by their own two families at all.
The things sent to the public office by the Fan and Wang families were slipped down by Lu Yuan, but the housekeepers of the Fan and Wang families were even more humble, because just now, the two of them saw that Xiao Zhenghua, the old master of Eagle Mountain, who had always been active in the surrounding counties, was actually this young man's entourage. Xiao Zhenghua of Lao Ou Mountain is not a nobody in the surrounding counties, although it has not yet reached the point where he is famous for stopping crying, but he is not a good match.
"Are you sure you can see clearly that Xiao Zhenghua from Lao Yu Mountain?" The old housekeeper who returned to the Wang family immediately truthfully reported everything he saw in the public office to the old man Wang, and learned that his housekeeper saw Xiao Zhenghua, the bandit leader of Lao Ou Mountain, in the public office, and this Xiao Zhenghua was still the entourage of the leader of the other party, and the old man Wang was really panicked now. Lu Yuan sent people to Fan Wang's two families with such fanfare, but only a few carts of sundries were left behind, not only Xie Shen, but even Xiao Zhenghua was a little surprised, but Lu Yuan, who was still leisurely, told them not to be impatient.
Sure enough, only a quarter of an hour after the housekeepers of the Fan and Wang families returned, the two families sent people to the public office again, and this time what they sent was no longer a local specialty, but a whole envelope of the ocean and yellow gold bars. "There are a total of 600 pieces of ocean, 10 gold bars, and all of them are standard large yellow croaker." Huang Dashan, who was in charge of counting the oceans and gold bars, was full of joy, if such a large amount of money was used to buy supplies, at least the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army of the two regiments could be replaced with new uniforms.
Lu Yuan directly stretched out his hand, pushed the ocean on the table to Xie Shen, grabbed the gold bar and handed it to Xiao Zhenghua. "The ocean will be given to you, and the gold bars will be mine, and that's it." It was a floating fortune for nothing, and he took the lion's share here, so Xie Shen and Huang Dashan didn't say anything, but Xiao Zhenghua was surprised at the moment, daring to make money is so simple, it is easier than robbing the road with his brothers from Lao Yushan.
The reason given by Lu Yuan is simple, "The Fan and Wang families are strictly counted as traitors, but we are too few people now, if we are forced to seek more things from these two families, I am afraid it will backfire and force these two families to fight hard with us." For such a traitor family, my opinion is to be like cutting leeks, don't remove the roots first, and when you think of it, you will come over and harvest it once, and the last person who will fall on the left and right can only be the person who cuts the leeks. ”
Lu Yuan's reason sounded good, but Xie Shen didn't agree with this point of view, "Isn't this okay?" Most of the wealth accumulated by this kind of traitor family comes from the local people, and if it is only for the purpose of harvesting their wealth and not eradicating the roots, more people will be oppressed and squeezed by them, which is not in line with the principles of our communists. Xie Shen's doubts were immediately nodded by Huang Dashan, only Lu Yuan smiled and said nothing, and was repeatedly asked by Xie Shen, Lu Yuan replied.
"Why would anyone be willing to accept the oppression of the landlords? Even if you suppress the Fan and Wang families today, there may be some Li family or Qian family coming out tomorrow. If you want to solve such a thing fundamentally, the root is still on themselves, and if they don't dare to resist themselves, you just stuff the gun into their hands, and it may not help. Take the present as an example, we outsiders are killing people in the town in a big way, and then occupying this public office, but no one in the locals dares to come forward for this matter. ”
"This is not only the old thinking of Chinese people sweeping the snow in front of their doors, but also because these ordinary people do not see hope. Since there is no hope in sight, they have to get by, after all, their elders also live like this, as long as they endure it, they can live. When Lu Yuan said this, there was already a faint moisture in his eyes, because in the early days of the Anti-Japanese War, most of the Chinese in the enemy-occupied areas had such thoughts and thoughts.
During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, China had a population of 450 million, while Japan had a population of only 70 million, and if every Chinese could fight the Japanese army with a mortal heart, the Japanese would not even be able to keep their territory in Manchuria and the Far East, let alone invade most of China. Unfortunately, this was just the wishful thinking of many indignant youths in later generations, and when facing the Japanese butcher's knife, the Chinese in the enemy-occupied areas were often as docile as lambs, and the Japanese troops who had occupied many places were often able to control a city only by relying on some imperial troops.
It is precisely for this reason that Lu Yuan will suddenly have a feeling, and what he is doing now is to give hope to those Chinese in the enemy-occupied area. It is necessary to let the Chinese in the enemy-occupied areas know that there are still people fighting, and use the means of wantonly hunting down Japanese soldiers to prove the existence of hope to more Chinese. Lu Yuan suddenly felt that the courage on his shoulders was very heavy, because his journey would be all enemy-occupied areas, and his enemies would also be all the Japanese who invaded China.
