When the gun in their companion's hand was pointed at their face, the bearded man's two men were shocked and subconsciously wanted to move the gun. But their wrists were tightly grasped by Tang Cheng, and no matter how hard they struggled, they could not change the direction of the gun. Tang Cheng's sudden attack shocked the bearded man and Han Xiaoyue. Before they could react, Tang Cheng had already let go of his hands and reached behind his waist. When he stretched them out again, he already had one in each of his left and right hands. The muzzle of the pistol was pointed directly at the heads of the bearded man and Han Xiaoyue.
"Don't move, I'm afraid I won't be able to control myself and shoot you first!" Tang Cheng, who had already firmly controlled the situation, didn't care at all about the pistols raised by the bearded man's two men, and used the pistol to force the bearded man and Han Xiaoyue. After sitting down again, Tang Cheng, who had already stood up and raised his two guns, shouted towards the door. Lao Fu and others who had been waiting in the corridor outside finally heard Tang Cheng's voice, and swarmed into the room from outside. When they saw someone pointing a gun at Tang Cheng, they all pulled out their pistols. , surrounded the four bearded men.
"Just now there were more of you, but now there are more of me. Can you sit down and have a good chat?" Seeing that Lao Fu and the others had taken out their pistols and surrounded the four of them, Tang Cheng put down the pistols in his hands, and then He sat down again with a slight smile on his face. Even Tang Cheng would not feel good if someone pointed a gun at his head. Han Xiaoyue, who had two pistols pointed at her head at the same time, no longer felt as relaxed as before. Her face turned pale and she felt as if her heart was about to jump out of her chest.
The bearded man looked like he was no ordinary person. Faced with Lao Fu's pistols, although he was slightly panicked, the bearded man still sat down with a calm expression. Without Tang Cheng's order, Lao Fu and the others would not shoot easily, but they could first control the bearded man's two men. Seeing that the situation was completely under control, Tang Cheng just signaled with his eyes, and Lao Fu and the others put away their guns. The tension in the room instantly returned to its previous calm state.
"Tell me about it! Since you just said it, you are from the Yunnan Army. Although you have withdrawn from the Yunnan Army, I am still curious, what is your purpose in coming to Chongqing?" Tang Cheng repeated the previous topic again. , and also introduced the situation to Lao Fu. Lao Fu narrowed his eyes when he heard this. Although he had never really dealt with the Yunnan Army, Lao Fu, who was born and raised in Chongqing, knew that many gunmen in the city were inextricably linked to the Yunnan Army.
The bearded man who called himself Wang Sanxi sighed secretly in his heart. He had to bow his head under the eaves. The situation in front of him was obviously not good for the three of him. Moreover, there were so many people on the other side, and everyone was carrying a gun. He was obviously not an ordinary person. Wang Sanxi It was worth choosing to tell all about Tangcheng and the purpose of coming to Chongqing. A few minutes later, an embarrassed expression appeared on Tang Cheng's face, as did Lao Fu who was standing aside and listening. None of them expected that Han Xiaoyue and Wang Sanxi met late at night just for a batch of jade and gold from Myanmar. .
"This means that you chose to meet here just for the jade and gold smuggled in from Myanmar?" Tang Cheng looked at Wang Sanxi with a slightly embarrassed look. After waiting for the other party to nod, Tang Cheng turned to look at Han Xiaoyue. . "Miss Han, you went out so late just to come here to inspect the goods?" Wang Sanxi and Han Xiaoyue answered in the affirmative, leaving Tang Cheng speechless. They laughed and said that jade and gold are not contraband, so why not? You go to the black market to find someone to trade, but you want to do it like a spy?
Tang Cheng's joke was just to find an excuse for his embarrassment, but Han Xiaoyue didn't hear what Tang Cheng meant and just defended himself. "No one dares to do business easily in the black market now! They say that the gangsters are about to go south to Chongqing. Those evil-minded guys in the black market are holding the things in their hands tightly. Jade and gold should not be eaten or drunk. , they simply can’t be sold at a high price, and besides, Brother Wang and the others still need to exchange arms and go back, so going to the black market won’t work at all.”
"Arms? It is said that there is no shortage of arms in Myanmar!" Han Xiaoyue's words instantly reminded Tangcheng that the two people Yu Haiguang took away might be with Wang Sanxi. Those two people were arrested because they were involved in the arms deal. Now that I think about it, there should be some inside story that I don't know about. "I heard that the British in Myanmar can buy anything as long as they give money. Why don't you go to the British and instead go back to the country to buy arms?"
Tang Cheng's question left Wang Sanxi speechless. Looking at Tang Cheng's expression, it was obvious that he didn't know much about the situation in Myanmar. Wang Sanxi had to be patient and explain to Tang Cheng. "The British do buy everything, but that's only compared to the locals in Myanmar. They are not so nice to us Chinese, especially those like us who have served as soldiers. We also tried to find the British, but those Damn white-skinned pigs, they took our stuff and didn’t give us a single bullet.”
When he mentioned the British, Wang Sanxi's expression was full of anger, and even his two men looked like they were gnashing their teeth. "Then what are you buying arms for? To compete with the Burmese for territory or to protect the mines?" At this time, Tangcheng didn't have that much time to guess whether Wang Sanxi and the others were cheating. No matter how capable he is, he is just a small policeman relying on Zhang Jianghe's support. He has no way to get involved in matters related to the British.
"It's used to protect the mine! We have a small gold mine and a jade vein in northern Myanmar. Although the output is not much, it is enough for us people to live. There are many chieftains in Myanmar, and we only survive in the cracks. Because of the British, the attitude of the Burmese people in northern Myanmar towards the Chinese has changed a lot. We are worried that they will come to rob our mines, so we need arms for defense." Wang San was so happy that he did not hide it, but he said it too It's not very detailed, at least it doesn't tell them their specific location in northern Myanmar.
Tangcheng didn't care about this at all. If it were him, he might not even tell the story in northern Myanmar. "Tell me more specifically, what weapons and equipment do you need? And more importantly, how much jade and gold will you bring this time?" Seeing that Wang Sanxi's attitude had completely softened, Tang Cheng no longer hid it. Instead, he chose to go straight to the topic and mentioned the arms matter to Wang Sanxi. Tang Cheng dared to ask this because Lao Fu and the others were considered his confidants, and even if the matter failed, the matter would not be leaked.
Wang Sanxi is not a fool. Being sent to Chongqing to purchase arms shows that he is a veteran. Tang Cheng's question just now made Wang Sanxi happy. He had already guessed the meaning of Tang Cheng's words. "We are just here to attack the front line this time, so we don't bring much. We only have four pieces of jade and four kilograms of gold, which have not been refined yet. If we can clear the way this time, the things we bring will be better next time. More." As he spoke, Wang Sanxi stood up and pulled out two sacks from under the bed.
Under Lao Fu's supervision and assistance, Wang Sanxi opened the sack and took out the jade and gold inside. The square cloth bag was opened layer by layer by Wang Sanxi. Four pieces of uncarved jade and a pile of rough gold finally appeared in the sight of Tang Cheng and others. The quality of the jade materials Wang Sanxi brought to Chongqing was not very good. Even if Tang Cheng didn't understand the jade materials, he could still tell. The pile of coarse gold was somewhat beyond Tang Cheng's expectation. Among the coarse gold particles of different sizes, there were actually more than a dozen gold particles larger than soybeans.
Compared with the four pieces of low-quality jade material, Tangcheng was more interested in these coarse golds. The presence of natural gold particles in gold mines showed that they were very valuable for mining. Tang Cheng did not hide his interest in the gold. In front of Wang Sanxi, Tang Cheng even grabbed the gold particles and played with them for a while. "I've seen the things. Since you want to exchange these things for arms through Miss Han, you should know the specific price. Can you tell me specifically how many arms you want to exchange?"
Putting the gold nuggets he was playing with back on the table, Tang Cheng called Lao Fu and whispered a few words. He waited for Lao Fu to leave the room alone before Tang Cheng brought up the topic again. Wang Sanxi did not hesitate and immediately took out a list and handed it to Tang Cheng. As for Han Xiaoyue, Wang Sanxi had already selectively ignored it. Lao Fu went out quickly and came back even faster. Before Tang Cheng had even finished reading the list, Lao Fu returned to the room. Lao Fu had already arranged for someone to do what Tang Cheng had told him.
The list that Wang Sanxi took out included not only arms, but also many ordinary supplies for daily life, so Tang Cheng looked at it very carefully. After carefully reading the list, Tang Cheng did not speak immediately, but closed his eyes and meditated for a while. "I can basically provide all the things above. It's just that the arms are a bit difficult to handle because the quantity you want is quite large. It's impossible to suddenly raise such a large amount of arms in a short time!"
Tang Cheng's reaction, if it were another person here, he might think that Tang Cheng said this to deliberately lower the price or have some other ideas. But Wang Sanxi's eyes lit up, and he felt that Tang Cheng was sincere in doing this business. If Tang Cheng agreed directly, Wang Sanxi would feel that Tang Cheng was fooling him.
Tang Cheng habitually tapped the table with his fingers. He was secretly calculating in his mind how much benefit he could get from this transaction. After a while, Tang Cheng raised his eyes and looked at Wang Sanxi. "Don't be in a hurry to leave Chongqing. Just live here. Give me some time and I will give you an accurate message later. If the two people arrested in the restaurant are also your people, I will bail them out later. That's it. Let me show some sincerity first."
