Now the territory in the Northeast actually belongs to Tsarist Russia. Even after Japan and Russia took over, the China Eastern Railway in the north and its rights and interests still belong to Tsarist Russia. The Qing Dynasty's rule over the Northeast was only nominal. But the county magistrate and the army are recognized by the common people. They don't know a single Chinese character, and they don't know the general situation of the world. Although Tsarist Russia had occupied the entire Northeast before, its manpower was always limited, and it basically did whatever it wanted.
So Wang Yan feels that those bandits are really finished. Who has the time to take care of them now? It sucks to work for people honestly.
Riding all the way towards the outer perimeter, Wang Yan met the bandits first as expected.
"stop!"
Along with the sound of gunshots and shouts, the bandits guarding both sides of the road rushed out with guns and surrounded Wang Yan.
"Come down!"
"For what?"
Eight people, six guns, two Hanyang-made fire sticks, and four old broken fire sticks. After a quick glance to calm the frightened horses, Wang Yan jumped off the horse lightly, nodded and bowed: "Everyone, heroes." , I am not a money transporter, I have something important to report to the official."
The leader came forward with the bandits made in Hanyang: "What's the important matter? You also have a dead body with you? Let me talk to you first."
"Look up and take a look. This is the body of Dana Jin. It doesn't matter that he broke his legs and broke his neck. Everything has to be handled by the big cabinet. Now that he is dead, I think I have to tell the official. Why don't you assign another big cabinet?" Wang Yan pulled back Jin Dana's hair and showed an unwilling face to let them see clearly.
The man glanced at Wang Yan suspiciously, then walked around the horse to the other side. After looking at it, he turned back without saying a word: "Tie him up."
"Brother? Why are you tying me up? I'm just a worker, I haven't done anything."
"You're lying. Those legs look like they've been discounted. Please ask the government to assign a big cabinet? I'm afraid you want to do it yourself?" The man was very confident: "You must have gold on your body. Do you want to bribe the official?" "
Without waiting for Wang Yan to quibble, the man continued: "You must have killed this Jinda. Okay, boy, are you brave? Are you tired of living? Tie him up and take him away, gagged his mouth, and blindfolded him. .”
Wang Yan didn't resist. After all, the plan couldn't keep up with the changes. In the original play, he was an official and a bandit, and he didn't know who was guarding him. Asked the two brothers, Dana and Jin, they didn't know the specific patrol and defense situation, otherwise Jin's head wouldn't have been hacked to death. Since this bandit is not stupid, and he still insists on taking him up the mountain, it is really no wonder that he is Wang. He doesn't care. It doesn't matter if he makes a temporary change and reverses the order.
"You guys continue to watch, Lao Liu, you and I will push this kid back."
The leader gave an order, gave Wang Yan a kick without saying a word, and asked the other person to lead him away with the rope.
Not to mention the kick was neither light nor heavy, even if you kicked him with all your strength, there was a high probability that you wouldn't be able to break through his defense. As for blindfolding, not letting him see the road, not to mention that he can judge the direction and trend by himself, there are still about 20 people left at the foot of the mountain, they must not know where their lair is, there is no use in blinding them.
"Brother Hai, why did you kidnap someone?"
"This kid killed Jinda of Lao Jingou and wanted to find the government to take over. I caught him and brought him back to obey the boss."
Wang Yan knew that he had arrived at the place. He had climbed mountains and crossed ditches all the way. He came out in the morning and arrived at the place at noon. In terms of their distance, it would take them seven to eight miles of mountain road, deep in the mountains and forests, and it was quite well hidden.
He was pushed and pushed to a place where there was a lot of noise. There was a moment of silence, and he felt a dense number of eyes on him, looking up and down. The air is a bit turbid, smelly, and smells like wine and meat, which is not very pleasant.
"Haizi, if you don't take a good look at those mud-legged people, why would you tie someone up and run back?" A thick, slightly hoarse voice came from directly in front.
"The boss, this guy killed Dana Jin and wants to find an official to become the boss himself."
I was stunned for a moment, only to hear the voice: "Scream, you have a damn idea, you are very brave, take off his blindfold and the cloth in his mouth."
The person next to him, who must be named Hai, responded and took off Wang Yan's blindfold and took the rag from his mouth.
Xu Yan took a look at the situation inside the house. There were more than 20 people gathered in the large wooden house with small wooden tables, and they were having lunch lively. It might be because spring was coming, and the food was good. In terms of armament, there are only about 20 guns, and most of them are fire sticks. Counting the patrols and defense outside, the four guns at the foot of the mountain are only more than 30 guns. Compared with the kid who was beaten to death with a big stick. He said more than fifty things, not even a little bit bad. It was better to brag than to scare people.
The one next to him was named Hai. Wang Yan was looking around, and without saying a word, he kicked him: "What are you looking at? Don't you think it's too slow to die?"
Wang Yan nodded and bowed in apology, looked at the middle-aged man sitting on a big chair not far away, and moved forward with a smile on his face: "Master, I guess you are the Dushan Long whose reputation is known for hundreds of miles around. People say that you are clear about grievances and are fair in dealing with things. You do not do unjust things or greed for ill-gotten gains. You are aware of everything and will not kill innocent people indiscriminately. I really did not kill Dana Jinda, it was someone else who did it."
"You're a very nice boy." Dushanlong laughed loudly and waved Wang Yan to come closer: "You said someone else did it? Who was it?"
"I don't know either. Even when I woke up in the morning, Dana Jin was dead outside. We all discussed that it might be the brother of He Laosi whom the officials found before." Wang Yan forced a smile and stepped forward anxiously. He spoke very quickly: "The reason why I was asked to give them away is that I have a good relationship with those people on weekdays, and everyone recommended me to be a pioneer. After all, it is an opportunity to rise to the top. I don't want to block it. If it is true I made a large cabinet, and I am from the eighteenth generation of poor peasants, so I can be considered a proud ancestor."
"Oh, that's it... you should know, right? Those people under Dana are all my brothers. Why haven't I received any news until now? Are you idiots rebelling? Huh?" Shanlong stretched out his hand and patted Wang Yan's apologetically smiling face...
Wang Yan forced a smile, turned into a smile, gently grasped Dushan Long's rough hand with one hand, and flicked it away with the other hand.
怆愯瘽璇达纴鐩壠chain楄钖公chain€濂界椕镄刟pp锛屽匭鍜槄璇燴 瀹夎chain€鏂装 Increase the 銆 umbrella€?/p>
Dushanlong's eyes widened, and he didn't understand why the hands behind his tied back were pulled out, and he didn't understand why the group of young men watching behind him didn't make a sound to remind him.
Without waiting for the people below to react, Wang Yan twisted Dushanlong's arm with force, kicked down and broke his calf bone, grabbed the well-maintained Hanyang-made Hanyang standing on one side, and pulled the bolt of the gun. Load the bullet, and shoot the person who was holding the gun directly in the head. Then he quickly unloaded and loaded the gun, and shot another head. After shocking them, he shouted loudly: "Put down your guns, bullets don't have holes. There are still three bullets in this gun. Let's see who wants to die early." The ghost."
Looking at the two brothers whose heads were shot, and listening to Dushanlong screaming in pain above, the people below looked at me, and I looked at you, and finally stopped.
"You let our boss go, if you have anything to say."
"Yes, there are so many of us, you can't beat us."
... Everyone expressed their sincerity with all their voices.
Dushanlong calmed down for a while, with blood-red eyes, trembling, and said in a trembling voice: "Brother, you are a hero. We have so many people here and so many guns. You will definitely die with three bullets. You still have time to stop now, I promise that I will never hold you accountable. I will make you the second boss and your status will be just below mine. How about that? Put down the gun. As you said just now, I, Dushan Long, am also reputable and I will definitely keep my word."
"I complimented you so much that I didn't know what my last name was? Do you fucking take it seriously?"
If he hadn't still wanted to receive the inheritance, he would have sent him away just now, and he wouldn't hesitate and just stepped on his other leg.
An arm was broken, two legs were twisted and kicked, and the pain exceeded the limit of endurance. Dushanlong finally couldn't hold on anymore, howled miserably, and fainted with his neck tilted.
A group of people below anxiously shouted something like 'big boss', 'big brother', etc. Anyway, they were purely loyal. Poor acting, no eyesight. That's just crying in the grave, no tears. These people shouted sincerely, but none of them touched the gun.
There was a bang, and another head was fired. The shouting people suddenly fell silent. Wang Yan quickly pulled the bolt of the gun and loaded it: "There are still two bullets left. Let's see who has enough to survive?"
No one said anything. Many people were already convinced by the previous two shots, and now they were even more frightened when another shot was fired. No one wants to die if he can live. With his shooting skills, no one dares to bet whether he will be the next headshot. This is human nature.
Wang Yan took a false aim with his gun and looked at the man standing in front of him stupidly, who tied him up the mountain: "Do you want to live or die?"
The boy was so happy that he knelt on the ground and hurriedly explained: "Brother, I want to live, I want to live. I didn't know that eldest brother is such a hero. If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have dared even if you gave me eight courages. You sir are so generous, Just treat me like a fart."
"Very well, bring me your gun."
Amidst the various looks from the others, that Hai came forward happily with the muzzle of his gun in hand and gently placed it on the table. Are you kidding me? Are you still trying to scare him with your eyes at this time? If you want to kill them, he won't live long enough anyway.
Nodding with satisfaction, Wang Yan said: "You are very sensible, so you won't be held accountable for kicking me. What's your name?"
"Brother, my name is Yu Zhenhai. If you have anything to do, just give me your instructions."
"Go and shoot all their guns."
Yu Zhenhai accepted the order, turned around and started to collect his guns. After a while, all the guns were collected and piled at Wang Yan's feet.
He then sent Yu Zhenhai outside to trick everyone in. Only then did he understand why the bandits did not dare to cause trouble.
Because including the six people at the foot of the mountain, the people here, and those lying on the ground, there are only fifty-seven people, and the thugs in the gold factory are only eighty. Hanyang can't build twelve. The rest were all burning fire sticks. He had thought that there were more than a hundred people and the firepower of more than fifty guns. He really thought highly of them. They only knew how to brag. The key point was that he didn't believe it all. He was convinced of part of it. It's more or less embarrassing.
It was already afternoon when Yu Zhenhai got everyone back. It was also at this time that the man named Lao Guozi from Ding Huilian's shop ran up the mountain and came to report the news. Seeing Wang Yan standing there openly, he was horrified and knelt down to beg for mercy. Wang Yan was not used to illness, so he collapsed with one shot.
After cooking Lao Guozi, he raised his gun and gestured back and forth: "Everyone raise their heads and look at me. I will have the final say on this mountain from now on. Is there anyone who disagrees?"
At this time, of course no one would object and clamor to meet the boss.
Looking at the people with different thoughts in front of him, Wang Yan chuckled, raised his gun and shot, killing five of them.
One person wiped the hot water splashed on his face, swallowed, trembled his legs, and forced himself to ask: "The boss, they all deserved it, why did you kill them?"
"I don't like the look in their eyes. I can't sleep." Wang Yan casually handed the gun to Yu Zhenhai and asked him to load it. Then he picked up a gun and slowly pointed the muzzle at the person who spoke: " So many people pretended not to see it, so why are you the only one doing so much? Are you so brave?"
Looking at the black muzzle of the gun, the man could no longer stand and knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "Master, I was wrong. I shouldn't have spoken. Please spare my life. I have an eighty-year-old mother above me, and... …”
"Shut up!"
Wang Yan shouted sharply, stopped his crying, and glanced around lightly: "Let me ask you one last time, do you have any objections to me as the boss? Now say it, die now, I will give you a happy life. If it happens later , If you dare to play tricks on me, if you haven’t killed me yet, then you can’t survive or die.”
"Master, we all listen to you. You took over our Lazi Mountain all by yourself. You are a real hero. Whatever you say, we obey you."
Yu Zhenhai was very sensible and set an example. It would be okay if he didn't set an example. After all, he was the first one to defect to him, and he wouldn't be able to survive if the new eldest brother fell.
"As the boss, we obey you."
Listening to the uneven slogans and looking at the crowd with evasive eyes, Wang Yan smiled: "Okay, let's take out everything in the mountains tonight, and the brothers who cook will make some good ones. I, Wang Laowu, and the brothers Let's have a drink together, talk, and get to know each other. Let me tell you how we can make a lot of money in the future, how we can please our mother-in-law, and how we can live a good life together. Haizi."
"The boss."
"Go to the foot of the mountain and tell my brother Zhu Laosan that I, Wang Laowu, are in charge. Let them rest assured and tell them that I will go back tomorrow."
"Yes." Yu Zhenhai responded, stood up and left...
In the absence of Wang Laowu, Zhu Kaishan, a good brother, is naturally the eldest brother. Others, including the bandits who were frightened by Wang Yan's ferocity, all obey Zhu Kaishan's orders.
After busying themselves with the corpses of the three bandits and Jin Baotou, a group of people sat by the river and looked at the small dirt road, hoping that Wang Yan would come back soon.
The other gold diggers were not in the mood to work, and no one was paying attention to them now. They were just dilly-dallying, gossiping, and talking about the future situation. The two brothers, Big and Little Jinli, found an opportunity to inform Ding Huilian about the accident this morning.
"Lao Zhu, you said something happened to Mr. Wang...elder brother, right?"
A group of people didn't even eat lunch. They just sat by the river, smoking and playing with stones. They watched helplessly without any movement. Only the occasional breeze blew and raised dust on the path. Finally, some people endured it. He kept asking questions.
Before Zhu Kaishan could comfort him, the bandit who had been beaten up with a bruised nose and face said, "Don't talk nonsense, Uncle Wang is really powerful. Besides, if he really confessed, he didn't see anyone coming from the government or the mountain."
Zhu Kaishan hummed: "He's right. My brother is very thoughtful and never does anything he's not sure about. Maybe something happened in the middle, which delayed it. Don't worry, everyone. There will definitely be someone today." In the end, no matter what happens, we are all here today, and the worst we can do is die."
The others said nothing and didn't know what to say. They all got into the car on their own, and no one could escape. Including the bandits on one side, if they didn't surrender, why should they be released? Looking back and not being able to tell is also a death.
Everyone had different thoughts, looking forward and looking forward with regret and longing. Finally, when the sky turned dark, there was movement on the path, and it was a man riding a horse heading this way.
A group of eager men quickly stood up, patted the dirt on their buttocks, and watched the horse approaching quickly.
The bandit with good eyesight recognized the person: "It's Brother Hai!"
Zhu Kaishan turned around and asked, "Who is Brother Hai?"
"He belongs to the person outside who is responsible for intercepting the money. He is very much appreciated by the boss."
"Isn't that the end?"
"Come here, come here, let's see what Brother Hai has to say."
Yu Zhenhai stopped in front of everyone, got off his horse, frowned at a group of familiar faces on the mountain with people he obviously didn't know, raised his hands and asked, "Who is Zhu Laosan?"
"I'm Zhu Laosan. I wonder what this big brother wants to do with me?"
"Wang Laowu has become our new boss. The boss asked me to tell you, don't worry, he will be back tomorrow." After saying this, Yu Zhenhai felt clearly quiet for a moment.
Zhu Kaishan stood there blankly for a long time, and then asked dryly: "Are you saying that Wang Laowu has become your boss? Can you please tell us what happened?" More than 20 people gathered together on one side. People were nodding their heads, it was so magical.
Yu Zhenhai nodded and vividly told the whole story from beginning to end, starting from when he tied up Wang Laowu.
Although he was the one who experienced it, he also felt that Wang Laowu was too cruel, and he couldn't accept it. One man, with five bullets, shot three heads with three shots, frightening dozens of bandits who were robbing their homes, so that they did not dare to move. This is more like an incident in a storybook, but it actually happened half a day ago. Along the way, his mind was filled with images of gunshots and headshots, of one man shaking off a pack of wolves. The more he thought about it, the more he realized it was wise to take refuge.
After hearing the whole story, Zhu Kaishan couldn't believe it, but at the same time he also let go of his heart that had been hanging around for a day. This Wang Laowu calmly dealt with the bandits. With a gun in his hand, he has the qualifications to negotiate terms with the government. This disaster is over, good brother...
"My brother, don't you have anything else to say?"
"Gone."
Zhu Kaishan pondered for a moment, then turned around and said: "Brothers, you have all heard that Wang Laowu is now the boss. Not only are our lives saved, but through this gold pit, brothers can make a fortune in the future. This matter Son, it’s good that you know this and don’t talk nonsense to them. Okay, go back and eat, drink, and sleep soundly. This golden pit is the foundation. Let them all work hard tomorrow. I’ll go to the mountain to meet my brother. , let’s talk about the details when my brother and I come back tomorrow.”
A group of people responded loudly, turned around and dispersed happily. The bandits and gold diggers blended in well together. They were all brothers in the same pot from now on...
Wang Yan was drinking and eating meat with a group of bandits, and brainwashing them at the same time. The atmosphere was so good. Although he only kept twelve Hanyang-made weapons and sent the rest back to them, except for the miserable-looking man hanging on one side, no one shot anything wrong, and everything was harmonious.
He was not surprised at all when he saw Zhu Kaishan coming in with Yu Zhenhai. He would be surprised if he didn't come.
"Brothers, please be quiet, be quiet." Wang Yan loudly stopped the noise, pulled Zhu Kaishan over and said, "This is my good brother, Zhu Laosan. From now on, he will be the second son of our Laizi Mountain." Head of the house.”
The bandits were all sensible, and they all stood up and clasped their fists: "I've met the second master."
Zhu Kaishan smiled and handed over his hands: "We will all be a family from now on, brothers, please take care of me, haha..." Of course he didn't want to be the second boss, but now he had no chance to refuse, so he had to accept it.
Wang Yan made an ouch and patted his forehead: "Look at my brain, we haven't bowed to each other yet, have we? But Brother Zhu, I don't think there is any need to talk about our feelings. Let's go to court to worship each other. No need, don’t skip the useless ones, come on, brothers, let’s have a drink with the second boss and my old brother Zhu.”
Zhu Kaishan didn't hesitate, he laughed out loud with the wine jar, raised his head and drank a lot of it, and sprinkled most of it down his neck, which was a waste of money.
After drinking, the two of them recognized themselves as brothers. Wang Yan arranged for Zhu Kaishan to stay aside, but Wang Yan didn't say much to him. He was taking an ideological class and couldn't interrupt it.
Zhu Kaishan's mouth twitched when he heard about taking down the tiger in the forest next door, about monopolizing the gold mine, tricking the mother-in-law into giving birth to a child, about training tactics, exercising, buying guns and artillery, about dominating a radius of 500 miles and becoming bigger and stronger. . If nothing else, he was quite convinced. His good brother's ability to brag and deceive others was truly top-notch, and he was obsessed with it. Looking at the red-faced and howling bandits, the effect is self-evident.
After the cheating was over, Wang Yan took Zhu Kaishan to the neatly tidied large room that originally belonged to Dushan Long. The two of them sat cross-legged on the hot Kang, drinking tea around a small square table.
"Brother, I have to thank you for promoting me, but I really can't do this second job."
"Have you ever thought about having a happy birthday?"
"Isn't that right?" Zhu Kaishan patted his thigh: "When I was young, I used to hang out everywhere. Your sister-in-law and I didn't have the same blessings in our family. She raised three children and narrowly escaped death from Guandong to Yuanbao. The town was looking for me, and when they were having a fight, they were even more stupid and killed my old father. I have been confused for half my life, and now I don’t want to bother, I just want to settle down and have a wife for all my sons. , I will be content even if I die."
Zhu Kaishan is thirty-nine this year. Judging from the current situation, he is quite old. After all, his eldest son Zhu Chuanwen is already eighteen this year. Coupled with the injuries he suffered in his early years, his physical condition was no longer at its peak, and his wife and children had just arrived from Guandong, so it was normal for him to lose his ambition.
"Okay, Brother Zhu, you can do whatever you want." Wang Yan took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "But I can't let you go now. I have to wait until the end of the year. Then we'll see if I can go back. If it's possible, let's go back together. If not, please go back and help me build some land, and then demolish the house and build a big yard. Now that I'm prosperous, I still want to go back to beg a mother-in-law and give us a wife. The Wang family is continuing the family lineage."
"We are brothers, your business is my business, don't worry, if you can't play back Niugou, I promise to take care of it for you." Zhu Kaishan laughed, then said seriously: "But brothers, Brother, I have to advise you that banditry is not a long-term solution. Moreover, it causes a lot of evil, which is not good, is not good..."
"Brother Zhu, I didn't want to be a bandit. But the current situation is like this. I am forced to go to Liangshan. If I don't become the king of the mountain, I will die today. What do you think I choose? I will become the mountain king." Your Majesty, I have No. 780. There are still about 200 people in the valley under the mountain who want to compete with me. At this point, do you think I have a way out? Times make heroes, and these 180 people occupy the mountain. The king is a bandit. If 1,800 people occupy the mountain and become king, and they have guns and cannons...Brother Zhu, then I will be a regular army..."
Zhu Kaishan listened blankly and didn't know what to say, so he simply drank tea and said nothing. If you don't believe it, he doesn't believe that Wang Yan can become a bandit leader, and he has become a bandit leader. If you want to believe it, there are a thousand people, and there are guns and cannons. Isn't that just a dream? There's nothing he can say anyway, let's just leave it at that, he can live his life well. This brother is too exciting, he needs to stay away...
Knowing that Zhu Kaishan was restrained by some small thoughts he revealed, Wang Yan changed the topic at the right time: "I broke the hands and feet of that Dushan Dragon, tied him outside, and killed him. He Laosi's Revenge is avenged. You also know the detailed process. It is definitely not possible to kill officials now. I have to wait until my strength becomes stronger. Then I will capture them and hand them over to my brother to deal with them myself. "
He tortured Du Shanlong in the afternoon. He had nothing but money, and he had no other value. Other bandits also knew other information, so they ignored it after asking. Right now I am living tenaciously and don’t want to die.
"That's enough now. That's it. He's passed away and can't cause us any more trouble. I think that's good. I'll contact his wife and children later to take care of him and look after him. He will greet me. If there is knowledge under the four springs, it’s time to close your eyes.”
In the original play, he only killed the two brothers, Dana, and left the officials and bandits untouched. Now that he has reached this point, he should really be satisfied. What he said was correct, but Wang Yan didn't see it that way. The government took 60% of his gold for nothing, and he wouldn't be able to sleep well unless these people were killed.
Without continuing the topic, Wang Yan asked the key question: "Brother Zhu, I wonder what you think about the golden vein diagram?"
Zhu Kaishan said with a smile: "It's of no use if I keep it. I'll give it to you. It's better to mine than to steal people's money and kill people's lives. Get some paper and pen, and I'll draw it for you."
"Brother Zhu, don't worry. When I am a bandit, I will definitely not do things that are unscrupulous. There is no rush in drawing pictures. There will be a long time in the future. You can get there in time. Now, let's take a look. Have these bandits taken advantage of the leopard's courage? If we don't deal with them neatly, we won't be able to sleep well in the future. We are always worried about moving our heads, which is not good."
As he spoke, Wang Yan picked up the peanuts and flicked out the candles in the room, and the room suddenly became dark.
Of course Zhu Kaishan understood the reason. Even if he didn't understand, he couldn't sleep. There was no sense of security in this bandit's den.
The room was quiet except for even breathing. The two brothers contained thunder and were prepared for anything that might happen...
