"I'm sorry, brother, we didn't know you were one of our own," the gangster said with what he thought was a kind smile.
However, how could the young man who had been beaten into a pig's head shake hands with them and make peace with them? He had been beaten so badly that his nose was bruised and his face was swollen, and he could not speak clearly. However, he still expressed absolute anger at the gangster: "Who is your brother?" .I’m telling you, I’m not done with you!”
After saying this, the young man turned around and left.
Seeing this situation, Luo Jingcheng became anxious and panicked, "Master, don't leave. We have something to talk about. We didn't mean it. We will apologize to you."
However, the young master still ignored them.
And Guo Shide was just ready to leave with the young master.
When Luo Jingcheng saw this, he immediately became relatives with Guo Shide, "Cousin Shide, we have something to discuss."
However, Guo Shide wanted to pretend that he didn't know them at all. He just said coldly, "Don't call me cousin. I don't know such a bastard cousin like you! Do you know who you are offending? That's from the state capital." Young Master. Just wait and accept your punishment."
"Cousin! Cousin, please don't. Just give us a chance. Otherwise, you can just ask them to fight back."
After hearing what Luo Jingcheng said, although Guo Shide really didn't want to care about his cousin, he thought about the Luo family's face and decided to help Luo Jingcheng.
So she could only say displeasedly, "I'll help you to persuade them, but whether you can persuade them or not depends entirely on your own ability."
After hearing Guo Shide's words, Luo Jingcheng naturally immediately responded, "That's natural."
Then Guo Shide went after the young master.
After a while, Guo Shide came over to Luo Jingcheng. He only took the initiative to say to Luo Jingcheng, "Young Master said he is willing to forgive you, but he can only forgive you. As for the others, he must deal with them, otherwise he will." Isn’t this beating in vain?”
Upon hearing this, Luo Jingcheng immediately became anxious, "But cousin, if you deal with them now, they won't even finish my work for me!"
Upon hearing this, Guo Shide said sharply, "What? Is there anything else you need someone to do for you?"
Luo Jingcheng nodded immediately, and then he just whispered, "Why don't my cousin let them finish it for me and then deal with them."
Hearing Luo Jingcheng's words, Guo Shide couldn't help but ask, "What do you want to use them for?"
When Luo Jingcheng heard this, he didn't want Guo Shide to know about his side of the matter. After all, the Yanle Lake group of people had a lot of wealth, but if there was one less person to share their precious property, it would be one less person.
And although Guo Shide himself is called cousin, strictly speaking, this cousin is actually the cousin of his eldest brother Luo Jingshan.
Therefore, he did not want to share the property with his cousin, and it would be even more troublesome if his elder brother knew about it.
Thinking of this, Luo Jingcheng immediately explained, "I just want these people to help me teach someone a lesson, so I asked them. You let them teach the person I want to teach, what do you want to do with them later?" I don’t even talk much, is this possible?” @
After hearing Luo Jingcheng's words, Guo Shide thought for a while and nodded in agreement. Then Luo Jingcheng left his cousin's private room.
When he returned to the private room at Furong No. 2, the arrogant group of gangsters just asked Luo Jingcheng nervously, "Second Young Master Luo, what are you saying over there? Are they willing to forgive us?"
Of course, Luo Jingcheng couldn't tell the truth. He just patted his chest and said, "With me here, can I still prevent you from getting into trouble? Don't worry, the young master from the state capital has forgiven you."
Upon hearing this, the crowd burst into cheers, but then they remembered that they had just argued with those people because they were too noisy.
Therefore, in order to avoid causing trouble, these people who were not drunk naturally did not dare to continue drinking.
Without drinking and making noise, the banquet in the restaurant began to become dull, so thinking of this, the group of people prepared to disperse.
Leiyang naturally has a curfew at this time. Although the curfew here is not as strict as that there, and even the patrols are just a few watchmen who tell the time, but the people here still abide by it.
Due to the curfew rules, they did not go back, but chose to stay overnight in the guest room of this restaurant.
The next day, early morning.
When Luo Jingcheng woke up from a hangover, he couldn't help but rub his forehead. The female companion next to him was sleeping deeply. When she saw that he woke up, she also got up and gently rubbed his forehead. He touched his temples and said, "Why did you wake up just now? Why don't you want to sleep for a while?"
When Luo Jingcheng heard this, he shook his head and said, "Hurry up and get me a bowl of hangover soup!"
After hearing Luo Jingcheng's words, the woman immediately stood up obediently.
After the woman brought him sobering soup and he calmed down, he finished dressing and washing under the woman's care.
When he came out, his few friends were all dressed up and having breakfast in the lobby downstairs.
As soon as Luo Jingcheng arrived, their eyes all fell on Luo Jingcheng. It was obvious that these people had not forgotten Luo Jingcheng's agreement.
Luo Jingcheng just sat at their table, then waved to the waiter in the store and said, "Bring me a bowl of soup cake."
When the waiter heard this, he just said "Okay" and then went to get Luo Jingcheng soup cakes.
After Luo Jingcheng finished eating the soup cakes and settling the bill, he led the group to a village near Yanle Lake.
When he arrived at the village, he just went straight to the house of the guide he had met last time.
At this time, the guide had just hired an ox cart and was going to the county town to exchange the jewelry he found the day before to the pawn shop to exchange for some money.
He didn't expect that when he was about to change money, he would meet Luo Jingcheng.
As soon as he saw Luo Jingcheng coming to find him with a few men who looked like gangsters, the guide couldn't help but become a little more wary.
"Second Master Luo, what do you want to do when you come to me this time?" the guide asked warily.
Looking at his appearance, Luo Jingcheng knew that the other party was on guard against him, so he did not hide it, but went straight to the point and said, "I plan to take my brothers to Nayanle Lake to exchange for money."
Upon hearing Luo Jingcheng's explanation of his purpose, the guide couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief, but then he calmly said, "It's probably impossible for just a few of you to want to go to Yanle Lake to rob the money. "
"Of course we can't just bring these few people. We plan to bring a group of brothers over to handle this matter. However, after all, these brothers have not seen it with their own eyes and do not understand our affairs, so I want you to tell them in person. speak."
After hearing Luo Jingcheng's words, the guide also told them what he and Cuiqiao had seen and heard when they were pretending to be goddesses and messengers.
The point mentioned is that most of the weapons held by this group of people are tridents. There are about a hundred people in the whole village, and the guide's words only confirmed that the people in the village did use white jade as their bricks and tiles. Come and cover it. As for gold, silver and jewelry, they are countless.
After hearing this, a group of people were naturally envious.
In order to convince them, at Luo Jingcheng's suggestion, the guide only brought a coral bracelet that he had stolen in front of them. When these people saw the jewelry, they naturally showed greedy looks. However, Considering that they have to cooperate with the guide, it is natural for them not to steal the guide's money.
However, when I heard that there were about a hundred or so indigenous people in the group, it was obvious that this group of people who usually hung out on the streets could not gather that many people at the same time.
And if there are too many people to share it, no matter how much wealth you have, it will be in vain. Therefore, one of the gangsters only said, "There are too many people, a hundred or so people, and we can't summon so many people."
Upon hearing this, Luo Jingcheng only asked in a low voice, "How many people can you call?"
Upon hearing Luo Jingcheng's inquiry, one of the gangsters just whispered, "Is that the same person?"
Luo Jingcheng was troubled when he heard that there were only so few people. They were too few. Less than half and still more.
Moreover, those natives were quite fierce, so Luo Jingcheng was also in trouble.
"How can such a small number of people be enough? If we go there like this, it's the same as committing suicide."
After hearing Luo Jingcheng's words, everyone fell silent for a moment.
"Can't you call someone else?" Luo Jingcheng then only asked.
Those people just shook their heads in unison. One of the gangsters even took the initiative
He said to Luo Jingcheng, "Besides, don't you know Mr. Guo Shide? Besides, the Leiyang County Magistrate is your brother-in-law. Why don't you just ask him to bring you some artillery? If we use artillery, can't we solve the problem of a small number of people?" question."
"And if there are fewer of us, there will be fewer people to share gold and silver with us."
After hearing this, Luo Jingcheng was obviously a little moved.
But although he said he would get some explosives, the source of the explosives was that he planned to find people in the fireworks shop to modify them privately.
It's not a big problem for that kind of fireworks shop to make explosives. After all, they have their own raw materials and know how to control the amount of gunpowder.
However, it is impossible to make artillery, a craft that requires professional craftsmen, among the people. Even the thirty artillery pieces in Leiyang County were shipped from the craftsman camp in Anxi Prefecture, and counties like this The reason why an area of this level can have artillery is because of the tragic battle in Leiyang County. If there had been artillery back then, it might have been able to open up a highway and allow more people to deliver messages to Beijing.
It is precisely because of this that Leiyang County has artillery.
However, it is naturally impossible to lend something of this strategic level casually, especially when that person is not his own brother-in-law. How could he lend such something to himself?
Therefore, Luo Jingcheng became discouraged just thinking about it.
"Forget it then. Even if the person is my brother-in-law, that thing cannot be lent out casually. After all, if the superiors find out about it, it will be a big deal."
Being so flatly rejected by Luo Jingcheng, everyone was discouraged and could only think of other solutions.
