"If you look at me again, I will dig out your eyes. Do you believe it?" Pan Loach threatened him with his eyes wide open.
"No, good man, please don't scare my young master. He has no evil intentions. He is just curious and envious of the heroic spirit of all the good men." An old man who looked like a manager stood up and explained with a low eyebrow.
Pan Loach, who has experienced human tragedy, is now a bit cynical and can't hear the words of a noble man, let alone saying that he is not evil-minded.
Are you so evil-minded that you can deceive Brother Hutou and the others? Let the villagers of Panjia'ao suffer such a disaster? What you are saying now is useful. If you have the ability, go to the underworld and explain it to those ghosts who died in vain.
Pan Loach originally just wanted to scare him, but after hearing the manager's explanation, he felt a surge of anger in his heart. He wanted to go up and punch this young man to vent his hatred, but Zhao Qinghu raised his hand to stop him.
The steward's expression was so frightened that he quickly saluted Zhao Qinghu and said, "This must be the famous Jiangdong Lord Tiger. My boss asked me to bring a letter to Lord Tiger." .”
Zhao Qinghu was surprised when he heard it. He didn't expect that he had only made a few transactions, and the Datong firm guessed that it was him. He was indeed a big firm with a reputation in Jiujiang, and he was a sensible person.
The co-author brought it to my door this time on his own initiative. Does this mean he wants to reconcile?
Zhao Qinghu didn't answer at the moment. He took the letter, opened it and read it carefully.
The steward originally thought that no matter how famous Jiangdong Hutou was, he was just a rough and tumble man. How could he read? He was ready to help him read it again, but he didn't know that Zhao Qinghu was sent to school by his adoptive father. Those who have been in private school for two years can still understand most words. This move made the steward look at Zhao Qinghu even more highly, thinking that his boss's method might actually work.
However, Zhao Qinghu handed the letter to Li Fu after reading it, and he watched Mu Yutang, the second son of the Mu family, looking up and down, while he was making calculations in his mind.
It turned out that Mu Tiande was indeed an old Jianghu. In his letter to Zhao Qinghu, he very frankly told the whole story of why he had to agree to Pingbo Tang's conspiracy to deal with Zhao Qinghu, and repeatedly claimed that he did not know that the Ding family was actually under the guise. The plan was to massacre the whole village of Panjiaao, but the Ding family was dragged into the pirate ship without realizing it.
Mu Tiande's words were full of regret and annoyance about this matter, and he also expressed sympathy and apology for the suffering of Panjia'ao villagers. Then it is said that the current Datong Company is also resentful and resentful of the Ding family because of the coercion. However, because the company does not have its own armed forces, it is currently unable to deal with the shady underworld giants like the Ding family.
Finally, Mu Tiande proposed that since Datong Company was dissatisfied and resentful towards Pingbotang, and Jiangdong Hutou had a blood feud with Pingbotang, why not join forces with the two families to deal with the Ding family.
As for the fact that Datong Company went astray and indirectly led to the Panjia'ao tragedy, in addition to a sincere apology, Datong Company is willing to pay a compensation that satisfies Zhao Qinghu, which can be converted into money and materials. The goods carried by the caravan this time were the first compensation.
At this time, Pan Loach and his brothers had already unloaded more than a dozen pack horses and a large cart to inspect the supplies. After lifting several long boxes off the cart and opening them, Pan Loach exclaimed: "Brother Hutou, come and see, there are guns in the boxes. They are all guns."
Before he finished speaking, a brother next to him also shouted: "The sacks here are full of bullets, Brother Hutou, there are so many bullets!"
Hearing the shouts of the brothers, even Zhao Qinghu and Li Fu were not calm now. They walked over and checked one by one. They saw that the long rifles in the long box were brand-new Hanyang-made rifles. They were all wrapped in oil paper and exuded a light smell of engine oil. taste. Counting carefully, there were exactly thirty rifles.
Zhao Qinghu took out one, picked it up and looked at it carefully, and found that it was really a new gun, and even the gun oil in the barrel had not been wiped off.
This was the first time Zhao Qinghu saw the new gun, and he immediately couldn't put it down.
At this time, Li Fu also raised his head, looked at each other and couldn't help but smile bitterly at Zhao Qinghu.
Some people here may find it strange that the Yihu Gang is mainly equipped with old rifles. Shouldn't they be happy to see new guns? Why are you still smiling bitterly?
Here we will talk about the brilliance of Mu Tiande.
The Datong Company and the Yihu Gang jointly deal with the Ding family, which actually means diverting trouble to the east. But you clearly knew that he was paying attention to this, but you had to agree to it because the bait provided by this old fox was so delicious, and he immediately pointed out the biggest weakness of the Yihu Gang.
The Yihu Gang's weakness is logistics.
No matter whether Zhao Qinghu goes to war with the Ding family in the future or seeks revenge on Skywarp Leopard, he will still need a lot of guns and ammunition.
You must know that the Republic of China was in troubled times, and all kinds of careerists and warlords were sparing no effort to expand their strength. However, there were only a few domestic arsenals. Not only were their production capacities limited, but they were also strictly controlled by the warlords and the Nanjing government- In the hands of the government, the limited products are in short supply.
And like ordinary local armed forces and bandits, it is even harder to get a gun. Without good connections and connections, you can't find a place to sell it even if you have money. Guns and ammunition have become hard currency comparable to gold.
The Ding family and Fan Tianbao are both veteran bandits with many years of experience, and have long established their own various overt and covert trading channels. Although it is not as good as the army in terms of logistics, there are always some connections to be found. I can’t say that I have enough guns and ammunition, but it is better than the Uprising Tiger Gang, a newbie who has just entered the world and has no way to do it. Half a point.
However, the Yihu Gang is just starting out, and they have a blood feud, so they don't have time to start their business slowly. Once an open war breaks out, the old rifles and limited ammunition currently available to the Yihu Gang will not be able to withstand repeated consumption. When the time comes, there will be no guns or ammunition. Not to mention revenge, it is also a question of whether you can survive.
And joining forces with Datong Company just makes up for the biggest shortcomings of the Yihu Gang. Do you think this condition is good? Tempting or not?
Moreover, what Chase Company brought out this time were shiny new guns and bullets. What does this mean? This shows that the Datong store has channels for buying guns and ammunition, and they are brand new from the factory. They are not comparable to the old guns that have been passed through many hands or used for many years.
A new gun means shooting accurately and far, and a good supply of bullets means the brothers can finally conduct live-fire shooting training, which is a guarantee of combat effectiveness.
