Gao Jianwu looked like he was going to do it regardless of life and death. Coupled with the dagger inserted on the table, all the bandits in the room were suppressed at once.
What's more, the person who recommended Gao Jianwu had already said that he was a ruthless person. The blood licking from the knife edge and the dead people rolling around in the pile are definitely real in their eyes.
This incident itself was caused by Shan Maozi's fault. He was caught talking ill of others behind their backs and was caught by the person involved. At this time, these losers who failed to succeed but failed to succeed were completely at a loss.
In this situation, being able to put things to rest is the best outcome.
But Gao Jianwu made it clear that he wanted to make things worse, and he seemed unwilling to let it go.
He just passed by accidentally and stopped for a while when he heard his name. Although Shanmaozi has no ability, his loyalty to Xie Baoqing will affect his plan.
From the first day he entered the village, Gao Jianwu had been secretly trying to sow discord between the two, and today's quarrel was just to add fuel to the fire.
His goal was finally achieved, and the quarrels of several people successfully attracted some idle helpers.
In the daily life of these bandits, the conflict between the two masters is a rare event. It has always been a one-sided crushing in the past, and Ma Liu, the former third leader, will always be the punching bag.
Although they don't have much sense of participation, it is very exciting to be a member of the front row.
Xie Baoqing immediately climbed out of bed after receiving the news. He rushed to the scene without even putting on his clothes.
Through the dictation of his cronies, the bandit leader already knew the ins and outs of the whole matter. While secretly cursing Shan Maozi in his heart, he also had the urge to complain about Gao Jianwu. The family scandal must not be made public!
But as the head of a cottage, Xie Baoqing knows that he must be fair, just and open when dealing with things. This is the basic requirement for a leader to treat others.
He knew that he could not show any favoritism at this time. Only by treating everyone equally could he win the approval of his brothers.
And this is also an effective way to promote unity and mobilize the enthusiasm of the public. Otherwise, the brothers under him will definitely feel that they will never get ahead by following him.
Xie Baoqing made up his mind not to give priority to Shanmaozi's feelings just because he was senior enough in Shanzhai. You can't talk to Gao Jianwu just because you appreciate his personal abilities.
After arriving at the scene, he first severely criticized both sides, each hitting fifty big boards.
As for the specific results, it is of course mainly verbal criticism. However, he still extended Shanmaozi's suspension time, after all, he was the one who caused the incident.
If he didn't punish his second brother, Gao Jianwu would definitely be emotional.
But for the little minions who dare to gossip, Xie Baoqing is not so gentle.
Those bandits at the lower end of the food chain in Heiyun Village were all tied to the stone pillars in the center of the village's playground. After being flogged, what awaited them was a three-day ban on food and water.
If you are lucky and die hard enough, you may be able to survive. But since the establishment of Black Cloud Village, no one has been able to survive this process.
After settling this troublesome dispute, Xie Baoqing drove away all the onlookers, and then dragged Gao Jianwu to an empty room nearby.
"Third brother, if Shan Maozi finds trouble again from now on, just tell me directly. What you did just now was too irritating. You also know that he is a person who can't do anything big. I'll teach him a lesson for you."
"But you are different. If something happens to me one day, the position of the boss will definitely be yours."
"I will personally arrange a meeting in three days. Then the two of you will shake hands and have a good time. Otherwise, it will be difficult to lead this team."
As the most powerful spy leader in Jin Province, Gao Jianwu immediately realized that this was a good opportunity to close the net. There was no better time for a sneak attack than when everyone was drunk.
But he still heard Xie Baoqing's temptation. There was no difficulty at all in such low-level speaking skills.
"Brother, please don't talk nonsense. Our Heiyun Village cannot live without you! You will always be our leader! I am not worthy of being in charge. Don't mention this matter again in the future."
"Don't worry about the second child. I must obey the arrangements. I also did something wrong today."
"In this era of war and chaos, unity is strength. When the time comes, I will lower my profile and offer him a bowl of wine."
These words simply touched Xie Baoqing's heart, and his old face showed a frown of satisfaction.
Then the bandit leader thought of something that had troubled him all afternoon, and Gao Jianwu was the smartest person in the village, so he wanted to discuss it with him.
"Lao San, do you think what Political Commissar Li said today is reliable? I don't know much about the internal policies of the Eighth Route Army."
"You are an old man who has seen the world, and has been in contact with all three religions. Do you have any reliable information?"
Although Gao Jianwu was 100% sure that if these bandits dared to apply to join the Eighth Route Army, the only fate waiting for them would be death.
But now Xie Baoqing is still worried that the surrounding Eighth Route Army and Jinsui Army united to clear Heiyun Village.
But in order to stabilize Xie Baoqing so that the mission in a few days could proceed smoothly, he still answered the other party without conscience.
"Brother, I don't know. The feasibility of this matter is very high. There is a detachment commander named Liu over there in Qilu. He was born in the grassland before, and his work is no different from that of our Heiyun Village."
"When those people joined the Eighth Route Army, there were only more than a hundred people, and their weapons and equipment were also very poor. Our brothers are all equal heroes. Isn't this much better than them?"
"Since that guy can become a high-ranking Eighth Route Army commander, then we must be good too, maybe we can even become a brigade commander!"
The only thing to blame is that Xie Baoqing has not read a book. If this is nine points true and one point false, he will not be able to detect the flaw at all, and he will be deceived very easily.
Commander Liu was indeed a king of mountains before, but he had never touched the common people. At most, he only robbed the rich and gave to the poor.
And this senior is also a tough guy. They started fighting Japanese in 1932. After joining the army, he was sent to the north to study. This qualification is definitely more than enough to be a detachment commander.
But how could Xie Baoqing know this? The word "commander" made him distracted.
Moreover, in the mind of this bandit, the commander of the Eighth Route Army was not just someone from the Guo Preserved Army or the puppet army. People of this level were well-known in the world.
Although he is only a detachment commander, he is definitely very valuable and has much more potential than his own copycat!
"So joining the Eighth Route Army is a good job! It's better than being worried in the village."
"With our savings, we can train a large group of three thousand people. Then we will ambush the Japanese again and use their heads as surrender certificates to join the regular army."
Although Gao Jianwu was laughing in his heart at this time, he still had a serious face on the surface and seemed to be very concerned about the future of the village.
In order to make Xie Baoqing relax his vigilance, he specially added a sentence.
"Brother, you are right! And we can contact the Eighth Route Army first and maintain a casual relationship."
"Even though we are not yet considered a regular army, others do not dare to attack us easily."
As the two of them talked, Xie Baoqing became more and more enthusiastic. It seemed that tomorrow he could put on the uniform of the Eighth Route Army and become the all-powerful brigade commander.
Happy New Year bosses!
