"Sir Chu, Hu Shuangqiang is a fierce bandit entrenched in Shenxian Ridge;
Shenxianling is said to be the place where Master Lu, the Supreme Immortal, ascended to heaven. It is surrounded by immortal energy all day long. Unexpectedly, it was occupied by a group of bandits.
Hu Shuangqiang had been in the army in his early years, but he didn't know why.
I heard that they usually regard themselves as thieves and bandits, and their banner is to rob the rich and give to the poor;
It has been a disaster to the village for many years, and it is often heard of robbing the rich, but it has never been seen that it helps the poor.
He has a rule that any price he offers is always a fixed price. After the deadline, no matter how much money he gives, he can only get back one body!
Hu Shuangqiang had always only robbed money, and it was rare to hear that he had robbed women.
There should be at least a few hundred gangsters under him, and they are all ruthless and unafraid of death;
The government had carried out numerous raids before, but unfortunately all failed and even lost troops and generals.
Over time, they just let it go. As long as it doesn't go too far, the government won't take this hot potato.
This time he actually asked for 50,000 silver dollars. Even if he sold the entire Li family, he still couldn't raise the money, so he had to turn to the Eighth Route Army for help. After the deal was completed, the Li family was willing to provide 5,000 silver dollars for labor..."
Chu Xiong generally understood it, but he was a little confused. Logically, the gangster should be looking for money!
It's certain that the Li family is rich. These landlords and wealthy people have been exploiting the village for a long time and have accumulated a lot of wealth. This can be seen from the fact that he spent five thousand silver dollars.
The Li family is rich, but the Li family will never be able to get 50,000 silver dollars;
Hu Shuangqiang asked for 50,000 yuan as soon as he asked. This was obviously not for money.
Of course, Long Chuxiong didn't intend to be polite to him for the five thousand silver dollars. Isn't it a bit of a psychological burden to take the landlord's money?
Although this is a period of cooperation, attacking local tyrants cannot be done openly as it will undermine the united front;
But it's okay to help people eliminate disasters and take people's money wherever they go!
The Eighth Route Army serves the people, but it does not mean that it serves the landlords and wealthy people for free.
There will be more places to use money after the Seventh Company!
Chu Xiong had no intention of refusing at all, so he agreed and promised to send troops immediately.
Li Yaozu was also sensible and first sent over three thousand silver dollars as military expenses;
He also promised that he would give the remaining two thousand yuan with both hands when the matter is completed!
Yang Wei wanted to refuse but Chu Xiong stopped him, and he smiled without being polite at all.
As soon as Li San and others who presented the silver coins left, Yang Wei spoke:
"Company Commander, our Eighth Route Army is a team of ordinary people. It is our duty to suppress bandits for the ordinary people. It is a serious violation of discipline for you to accept such a large sum of money from the Li family!"
"I said, Lao Yang, where do these landlords and wealthy people get so much money?
They all come from exploiting the poor! You should have learned about residual value, right? It’s good that I didn’t hit him as a rich man! "
Chu Xiong felt that it was necessary to unify his views with his partner. Regarding these landlords and squires, they should both unite and differentiate.
This bandit suppression was originally at the request of the Li family, and the Eighth Route Army had to pay the price!
If it weren't for the purpose of saving people for the Li family, the Seventh Company would not have sent troops so hastily. It would be normal to charge some troops expenses.
Yang Wei is still a little angry about book business, mainly because he has not experienced the cruel struggle in Hubei, Henan and Anhui!
For the sake of the overall situation of resisting Japan, the higher authorities have temporarily suspended the policy of attacking local tyrants, but this does not mean that they will not be treated differently.
——Putting it on hold does not mean giving up!
After listening to Chu Xiong's words, Yang Wei felt that it was indeed reasonable. If you don't know how expensive food, rice, oil and salt are, the Seventh Company cannot always rely on seizures.
"Company Commander, I was wrong this time, but we are now in a period of cooperation. We can't go too far, let alone leave people with excuses, okay?"
"Of course, instructor, you take care of your life. From now on, you will be responsible for managing and spending the money!"
Chu Xiong saw that his old partner had changed his mind, so it was easy to say that as soon as he was happy, he handed the money over to Yang Wei;
This is a huge sum of money!
When Yang Wei heard this, he immediately became happy and immediately turned into a miser and said confidently:
"Of course it's under my control. There will be more places to spend money on establishing base areas in the future;
The medical expenses for the wounded alone are a huge expense, and..."
Chu Xiong didn't have time to listen to him settle these troublesome accounts. He was only responsible for making money, and spending money was Yang Wei's business!
"There should be a lot of money in Hu Shuangqiang's bandit den, right?"
Thinking of this, Chu Xiong's face showed an old fox-like smile.
"Comrades, let's go and suppress the bandits!"
Taking people's money is naturally to help them eliminate disasters!
"You bullshit bandit, robbing the rich and giving to the poor, it's just that the people are suffering and they don't have anything to rob!"
Thinking of this, Chu Xiong no longer felt any guilt towards this group of bandits - I was doing this for the people!
In Shenxianling, Hu Shuangqiang's bandit's den was also decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, and there was great joy.
Boss Hu's marriage to Mrs. Yazhai is naturally the most happy event for the entire village!
Hu Shuangqiang had no intention of returning the stolen Zhao Pan'er to the old Li family. The ransom of 50,000 silver dollars was just the reason why the lion opened his mouth and made the old Li family die.
This time, he came here for Zhao Paner!
Hu Shuangqiang knew Zhao Paner since they were children.
This Hu Shuangqiang was from Zhaojiazhuang before. His surname is not Hu at all. His real surname is Zhao. Hu Shuangqiang is just his bandit name - how many bandits are willing to use their real names?
When he was in Zhaojiazhuang, he once saw Zhao Pan'er from a distance, and he was shocked!
But he is a second-rate guy with nothing, and he can only think about the eldest daughter of the Zhao family.
Later, he could no longer survive in Zhaojiazhuang, so he escaped and joined the army;
Hu Shuangqiang was usually very brave and brave, so he quickly became a platoon leader in the army.
But the good times didn't last long. His arrogant character offended the regiment leader's second son, and he accidentally killed him during a conflict.
Since then, he escaped with more than a dozen of his men carrying guns and ammunition, and simply became bandits.
Since the dozen or so of him had all served in the army, had certain organizational skills, and had more advanced weapons than ordinary bandits, and were all desperadoes, the area soon became famous and the team expanded to over a hundred people.
It turned out that there was also a group of bandits occupying Shenxian Ridge. The two sides fought several times while fighting for territory. In the end, Hu Shuangqiang won and took over Shenxian Ridge and recruited their gang.
Hu Shuangqiang is now a well-known gangster. In the past few years, they have looted homes and businesses, and accumulated a lot of property.
Now that he had money, Hu Shuangqiang had the evil idea of proposing marriage to the Zhao family, and Guangcai Li planned to pay 10,000 silver dollars!
This is an era when 10 silver dollars can buy a young lady, and a gift of 10,000 silver dollars is extremely rich!
It's a pity that the person he proposed to marry was the old Zhao family. How could the Zhao family agree to marry their daughter to a bandit?
But Hu Shuangqiang and the others couldn't afford to offend him. Fortunately, Zhao Pan'er had been studying in the provincial capital, so Hu Shuangqiang couldn't rob him even if he wanted to.
Unfortunately, the good times did not last long, the Japanese were coming, and a young lady with outstanding appearance like Zhao Pan'er would definitely be worried if she was under the eyes of the Japanese.
So he quietly picked it up. Just as Lao Li's family was urging them to get married, Zhao Pan'er's father, Zhao Haitian, wanted to get the two children married as soon as possible, which completely stopped Hu Shuangqiang's thoughts.
Who knows that Hu Shuangqiang is not a fuel-efficient lamp. He has already set up an informant in Zhaojiazhuang, and Zhao Paner's marriage is under his control.
"Haha, they say that Li Yaozu and Zhao Haitian are old foxes. They don't know that the mantis stalks the cicada and the oriole follows behind;
They were concentrating on arranging the wedding, but they didn't expect that I would cut off their beards. Today, I will enter the bridal chamber for them! "
The more Hu Shuangqiang thought about it, the more proud he became, and he couldn't help but brag about it in front of his old brother.
"Brother, I heard that my sister-in-law is not only as beautiful as a fairy, but she is also a female scholar in a foreign school in the provincial capital. She is a literary star who has descended to earth!
You should drink less at night and don't be too rude..."
"Don't worry, my brother's marksmanship is superb. He can hit the target even if he's drunk!"
"Boss, when will the brothers also meet my sister-in-law..."
…
When a group of bandits are drunk, don't expect them to say anything polite.
