Chapter Seventy-Four: Showing Kindness
Regardless of whether Jin Dapeng had a good day, Tang Cheng, who was ordered to guard the Beishan checkpoint, was living a very leisurely life, and the saddle bag of the big green horse not only contained Tang Cheng's flower machine machine gun, but also the dried meat prepared by Tang Cheng for himself and Xie Bo's notebook. Lying on the thick haystack, enjoying the sun, plus the jerky and the notebook, Tang Cheng didn't even want to go back to the city.
In the following days, Jin Dapeng followed the other companies of the garrison regiment to another checkpoint to check the terrain, and also went to the Beishan checkpoint again, and even asked the locals to take him into the Beishan. The new barracks in the school have been completed one after another, and Liu Shanyang at this time can no longer care about paying attention to Jin Dapeng, and the sooner this barracks is vacated for the 173rd Division, the more he can rest assured.
Zhou Xiong, who was beaten violently, was already able to get up on his own, but his teeth were kicked out several times by Liu Shishi, so before he had gold teeth, Zhou Xiong, who was extremely sad, could only deal with liquid food such as drinking some rice soup first. Tang Cheng was surprised as if Zhou Xiong had never been beaten, regardless of whether Zhou Xiong was a relative of Zhou Yuan, the deputy commander of the 173rd Division, he was still a lieutenant officer, and it was extremely serious to beat officers or officers to beat each other in the army, but Tang Cheng didn't care about it at all.
"Take care of your own 1 company, don't worry about other people's affairs." Liu Goat's answer made Tang Cheng very depressed, but since Liu Goat said so, Tang Cheng gradually forgot about it. The successive completion of the school barracks finally gave Tang Cheng a reason to stay in school all day, and after arguing with Liu Shanyang, Tang Cheng's 1st Company was stationed in the school first, and Tang Cheng himself moved directly to the room next to the library.
"Commander Liu, I didn't bring back too much ammunition to the garrison this time, and now the fighting is tight everywhere, and the provincial capital is powerless about it." Ge Kunshan went to the provincial capital for several days this time before returning, and as usual, Ge Kunshan, who returned from the provincial capital, went to the new barracks of the garrison regiment first, but only a small part of the ammunition he brought back this time. Since Ge Kunshan had an abnormality in the Shuangjing Pavilion that day, Liu Goat had no hope for him, but this time Ge Kunshan was indeed a little perfunctory, and only brought back a few boxes of rifle bullets, but Liu Goat needed no machine gun bullets, grenades and mortar shells.
"Regiment leader, Shi followed Ge Kunshan all the way back from outside the city, and found that the truck that followed him back went directly to our original military camp, Shi said that the truck was covered with a tarpaulin and couldn't see what was inside, but the car was indeed full of things." As soon as Ge Kunshan left school, Lao Xu, who came back from outside, entered Liu Goat's war room, but Lao Xu's face was not very good.
"I have long known that Ge Kunshan is unreliable, this old boy must have seen that the 173rd Division is not small, this is to win over Jin Dapeng's gang, and the truck should be loaded with the arms originally for us." Lao Xu's face at this time was a little distorted and slightly hideous, if it was something else, he would not be so careful, but the arms that originally belonged to the garrison regiment were given to the 173rd Division, and Lao Xu couldn't swallow this breath.
"Take those things and let's go to Li's house." Liu Goat didn't think too much about it, and went directly to Li Linge's house with Lao Xu and a carriage. In order to leave a way back for himself, Liu Goat had already left a few boxes of tobacco and some valuables from the spoils of the bandits, and since Ge Kunshan was now going to hug the thigh of the 173rd Division, Liu Goat had no choice but to show goodwill with Li Linge. If the garrison loses the support of Ge Kunshan and can no longer get the help of Li Linge, Liu Shanyang's garrison can only be suppressed or absorbed by the 173rd Division.
"Head Liu is a rare guest, please come in, please come in." Knowing that Liu Goat came to the door, Li Linge opened the middle door of the house to greet him personally, still with that smiling face, everything was still the same as when Liu Goat first saw Li Linge. Of course, Liu Goat would not be coaxed by Li Linge's appearance, he knew that when Li Linge showed this expression, it was when he was calculating people, just like the excitement of a wild beast before discovering that its prey was about to hunt.
After a few words of greeting with Li Linge, Liu Goat motioned to Lao Xu, who followed him, to put the suitcase he was carrying on the table, "When my brother was clearing a bunch of dirt a while ago, he accidentally got some good objects from the bandits' den, but my old Liu is a ruffian, and these precious things are not as good as a grenade in my hands." I have heard that your President Li is an elegant person, and I happened to be idle today, so I brought these objects and wanted to ask your President Li to help me slap the palm, so that my old Liu would have a capital to brag about in the future. ”
"It's easy to say, it's easy to say, since it's your head Liu's business, then Li must do his best." Li Linge's eyes changed with Liu Shange's action of opening the suitcase. He originally thought that Liu Goat was just looking for an excuse to come to the door to knock on the bamboo, but when the suitcase was completely opened by Liu Goat, he realized that he wanted to fork the road, and the suitcase on the table was indeed containing some gold and silver jewelry.
Li Linge knew that a while ago, Liu Goat went around suppressing bandits in order to get money and guns for the garrison regiment, and the Li family also got some of the tobacco and soil that the garrison group seized from the bandits, but he didn't expect that Liu Goat would secretly flow out so much gold and silver jewelry. As the saying goes, the antiques of the golden era of the troubled times are now the troubled times of war, and the gold and silver jewelry that is easy to carry is the time of value. Liu Goat suddenly came to his house with such a box of gold and silver jewelry, saying that he wanted to help identify the palm eye, Li Linge was really a little unsure of what Liu Goat's intention was today.
Li Linge, who didn't dare to be careless, also specially called the two old courtiers of the Li family's pawnshop, and it took about 2 hours for the sweaty courtiers to identify all the gold and silver jewelry in the suitcase, and gave a reasonable price. "Captain Liu, do you plan to keep these things or do you want to make a move, although our Li family is still a big family in Mengcheng, but it is still a little powerless to eat this batch of things. However, I know a few big households in the provincial capital, if you are interested in selling these things, I can help you contact the big ones in the provincial capital when you go. ”
Listening to Li Linge's words, Lao Xu couldn't help but secretly scold Li Linge in his heart for being a cannibal and not spitting out bones, these things were all obtained by Tang Cheng with people running around for more than half a month, listening to Li Linge's words showed that he would help contact the sellers in the provincial capital, but in fact, Li Linge himself wanted to eat these things, and that rhetoric was just to take the opportunity to reduce the price. Li Linge took a small sip of tea with a teacup, but the corner of his eyes kept paying attention to Liu Goat's expression, he was indeed moved by this batch of things, and the remarks just now were indeed to reduce the price, but if Liu Goat refused because of this, Li Linge would have another statement waiting for Liu Goat.
To Li Linge's surprise, Liu Goat, who did not show a strange expression, smiled, and directly pushed the entire box to Li Linge's hand, "I don't know so much, I just know that the brothers under Lao Tzu can have meat to eat, and they can hold the rattling ocean in their pockets." Since you President Li is willing to help, then these things will be handed over to you to deal with, after the matter is completed, I will only accept 5 percent of the money, and the remaining 3 percent will be converted into food and arms from your President Li, and 2 percent will be the benefits of your President Li. ”
Li Linge, who was ecstatic in his heart, wanted to excuse himself on the surface, but under Liu Goat's almost coercive rhetoric, Li Linge had no choice but to "reluctantly" agree to Liu Goat's request, and pay Liu Goat a cart of grain and some ammunition in advance. "Let's just hand over the things to Li Linge? Those things were obtained by Xiao Tang and his people for more than half a month, so they only collected half of the money, and the rest was dealt with with food and munitions, we are already at a loss, and you still have to give Li Linge 2% for nothing. ”
Lao Xu, who left the Li family, roared in a low voice with Liu Goat in the carriage, Lao Xu had no objection to exchanging those things for food and arms, but Liu Goat gave Li Linge 2% of the benefits for nothing, which was very difficult for Lao Xu to accept. "You are a small-eyed iron rooster, he Li Linge is the head snake of this Mengcheng, if we want to sell those things, no one else dares to take over except him, just give him 2 percent of the benefits, but we save a lot of trouble, he Li Linge is not a fool, if you want our things, you have to think of our good, and the 2 percent benefits are our road money."
"Then you can't give him 2 percent, buying food and arms from him is already Li Linge's advantage, do you think he can sell it to us cheaply?" Lao Xu, who was dismissed by Liu Goat, was still a little unhappy, and when he thought that the 20% benefits that Li Linge had obtained in vain originally belonged to the garrison regiment, Lao Xu's heart was angry. Liu Goat was too lazy to continue talking to this iron rooster, so he could only turn his head and smoke and no longer bother with Lao Xu, if Tang Cheng was here, there would definitely not be so many questions about Lao Xu.
"Anyway, if we have this little bit of family background, you can defeat it, you have lost them earlier, and we will all go and drink the northwest wind." Seeing Liu Goat's face of reluctance to take care of himself, Lao Xu, who had already planned to stop fighting, suddenly became angry, and directly took out the account book of the garrison regiment from the leather bag that never left him and threw it to Liu Goat, and said that he would rather be the military doctor of the garrison regiment than manage the logistics of the garrison regiment.
Although Lao Xu is just a doctor who is not very good at medicine, Liu Goat trusts him very much, if Lao Xu is not in charge of the logistics of the garrison regiment, maybe Liu Goat will not be so easy. So seeing that Lao Xu was really angry, Liu Goat immediately threw a cigarette butt to Lao Xu to say good things to Lao Xu's smiling face, stuffed the account book that fell on his body back into the leather bag on Lao Xu's waist, and promised that the remaining tobacco and soil would be handed over to Lao Xu at his sole discretion.
