Luo Heng went to Tie's pharmacy as planned.
Master Tie and Tie Yan'er were counting medicinal materials in the house.
After meeting Luo Heng, Master Tie asked his daughter to make tea.
He put down what he was doing and talked to Luo Heng: "Mr. Luo, I heard from Yan'er that you want to inquire about the imperial guards in the capital?"
Luo Heng nodded: "How much does Master Tie know about that palace guard?"
Master Tie shook his head and smiled bitterly: "How much do I know? It's just hearsay.
"I heard that he is a master of both Bagua Xingyi and Xingyi.
"Although he is not very old, his skills are indeed impressive, and he is well-known in the capital."
All the conditions are right, maybe it is?
Luo Heng's heart moved and he asked: "Master Tie, do you know that person's name?"
Master Tie frowned and thought for a moment.
He was not sure: "I didn't pay attention before. I don't remember clearly. I guess it was called Gong... what Sen?"
Luo Hengxiao asked: "Is it Gong Baosen?"
Master Tie suddenly realized, nodded and said, "Now that you say that, I remember that Gong Baosen is indeed called this name."
Luo Heng was excited.
There really is a Kung Bomori in this world!
There should be two sisters, Gong Ruoxue and Gong Ruomei, right?
What about everyone else?
In addition to myself as a time traveler, the Luo Boxing Gym in Foshan was also wiped out by the butterfly effect.
Could others also exist?
Wang Jiazhi, Erdong, Ayan...
"Sir? Please have some tea, sir."
Tie Yan'er came over with a cup of tea and looked at Luo Heng strangely.
The Tie family's father and daughter also called Luo Heng after the Tie family's eldest daughter Tie Lan.
My name is Mr. Luo Hengluo.
Luo Heng came to his senses.
He took the tea cup and thanked him casually, then turned back to Master Tie and continued to ask: "Master Tie, you told me about the magic of magic last time.
"I'm quite curious. It just so happens that in recent years, the most famous person in the martial arts world who uses divine fighting skills is the Boxer Boxer guy.
"I plan to go to Foshan City tomorrow to meet the remnants of the boxers who were captured by the magistrate, and see if I can get a glimpse of the true nature of Shen Dajutsu from their mouths."
Tie Lan was kidnapped and brought to Foshan by the Boxer Boxing guys who made her unconscious.
The Tie family did not have a good impression of Boxing.
Master Iron hasn't spoken yet.
Tie Yan'er on the side said angrily: "Sir, how do those evil people of Boxing know how to really fight?
"They just used the name of God to deceive people. When we were drinking before, Master Huang also said that he had some time ago.
"I beat to death a cult leader who used gods to deceive people. That guy just put a piece of iron on his chest..."
Luo Heng shook his head with a smile and did not argue with her.
A trip to Foshan is easy.
At its peak, Boxing Boxing had hundreds of thousands of people and swept through several provinces.
If it was all a lie, how could so many people believe it?
It's just that the organizational structure of Boxing is too rough.
It just attracted a lot of scum who took advantage of the situation and ruined its reputation.
Just when Luo Heng was talking in Tiejia shop.
News that there are members of the militia who want to attack Luo Heng has spread like wildfire in Shahe Town.
In a residential house.
Several men in mandarin jackets sat around an oil lamp.
One of them is thin and has a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks.
It was Qin Fu, the housekeeper who had accompanied Mr. Qin to trouble Luo Heng and was slapped in the face.
If anyone is familiar with Shahe Town, see these people.
Will definitely recognize it.
These people present were all close to the Qin family in the past and held some positions in the Qin family.
It was these people who came forward to bully the townspeople in the past.
"Hmph, what are we still discussing? We can't even be killed by a musket, and even a pair of fists named Luo can't beat us if we are tied together.
"I think, let's just follow Qin San's example and join him..."
Under the light, a person spoke.
Qin Fu's eyes changed and he said angrily: "What the hell did you say?
"Shahe is originally the Shahe of the Qin family. As soon as the man named Luo came, he killed people and seized property. He waived bills and reduced rents to win people's hearts.
“It’s clear that he wants to settle down in Shahe Town, so he won’t take advantage of his unstable foothold to find a way to deal with him.
"There will be no other solution in the future. Do we, the Qin family, really want to listen to the murderer of the master and the young master?"
The person who just spoke heard the words.
He immediately said: "Then what do you think we should do now? We spent dozens of taels of silver, and not a single hair on Luo's hair fell out."
Another person said: "The question now is, does the man named Luo know that we paid someone to do it?"
The room suddenly fell into silence.
Under the dancing lights, everyone's expressions were a little gloomy.
"Let's go……"
There was silence for a few seconds, and suddenly someone broke the oppressive atmosphere and suggested.
"What are you talking about? We, our ancestors, all have roots in Shahe, and yet we have to leave our hometown in embarrassment just because we are a foreigner?"
Someone immediately retorted.
"What should we do? Do you have a way to deal with someone named Luo?"
The person who said he had run away immediately asked back.
Qin Fu's eyes flickered and his tone was a little hesitant: "Everyone, please stop arguing. Why don't I ask Madam?"
As soon as these words came out.
The few people who had just been a little angry were stagnant again.
It seemed that Madam's identity made them very afraid.
Tiejia Pharmacy.
Luo Heng looked at the sky and stood up to say goodbye.
Master Tie arrived at the door and was about to regain his senses.
Tie Yan'er blinked her big eyes and asked curiously: "Dad, I think there seems to be something wrong with Mr. Luo today?"
Master Tie asked: "What's wrong?"
"When I talked to him before, he always had a smile on his face and was quite a gentle person. Even though he was smiling when I talked today, I felt a little scared and didn't dare to talk to him anymore..."
Master Tie shook his head slightly and sighed: "Actually, I feel the same way.
“When I heard those gunshots before, something must have happened.
"But if Master Luo doesn't say anything, we just came here, so it's not easy to ask in detail."
"How about I ask my sister about it tomorrow?" Tie Yan'er was curious and couldn't help but suggest.
Master Tie thought for a while, nodded and said: "When it opens tomorrow, your sister should come over, so I'll ask her then.
"Master Luo is such a nice person. If there is anything we can do to help, we will do the same."
The father and daughter had made up their minds and started busy decorating the store, sorting various medicinal materials on the shelves.
Luo Heng clasped his hands behind his back, his face looking cold.
Before that Li Sheng died, he did it for the safety of his family.
It has been said that the person behind the scenes this time was Qin Fu, the former steward of the Qin family.
If Luo Heng had his past temper, he would immediately find out that Qin Fu and beat him to death on the spot to satisfy his hatred.
But this time.
Luo Heng resisted this impulse.
It's not that he changed his temper and let go of those who dared to attack him.
But Luo Heng felt that the Qin family had been operating in Shahe Town for several generations.
The foundation is too deep.
This time Qin Fu appeared and beat the man to death.
I don’t know who will show up next time.
This kind of assassination is carried out against oneself from time to time.
Although Luo Heng was not afraid, he was also annoyed.
Shahe is a small place after all.
Those people also have limited knowledge.
Paying money to bribe people from the militia and attacking Luo Heng is just the lowest level of practice.
If they are patient, hide themselves well.
Wait until Luo Heng is no longer in Shahe, or when a certain policy implemented by Luo Heng reaches a critical moment, then he will come out to sabotage it.
That's called disgusting.
So, this time.
Luo Heng made up his mind to wipe out all the old forces who were interested in the Qin family.
Luo Heng previously said in public that he already knew the identity of the mastermind behind the scenes.
It's just to scare off the grass and scare the snake.
He can bribe members of the militia and use them as a covert weapon.
Qin Fu must not be able to do it alone.
Even if Qin Fu could do it, he would not do such an obviously risky thing alone.
It’s human nature, risk sharing.
Small pier.
Luo Heng just approached.
Tielan, Xiaoyi and others came out to greet them.
"Sir, are you back?"
Luo Heng nodded and asked casually: "How are the brothers in the militia? Is anyone making trouble?"
Tielan shook his head and was about to answer.
Xiaoyi on the side pouted and said: "How dare they? What a bunch of heartless guys, sir, they are so kind to them.
“In the past, we didn’t have enough to eat, but in the militia we not only got wages, but we also had food and rice to eat every day, and we also had such delicious canned beef.
"A bunch of wolf-hearted people..."
Luo Heng laughed and shook his head: "Okay, just stop saying a few words. Only a few people are being bribed."
Enter the dock warehouse that has been converted into a barracks.
"gentlemen……"
The remaining twenty-nine militia members were all in the room.
Seeing Luo Heng coming over, they all stood up.
"Why are you so haggard? Are you blaming me for having your weapons taken away?"
Luo Heng asked lightly.
"Don't dare."
Someone answered.
Luo Heng nodded: "I don't dare, it's not that I don't have it, right?"
"No, sir, why should we let a group of women control us?"
Someone in the crowd suddenly spoke.
Luo Heng's expression turned cold and he looked at the speaker.
"What did you just say? I didn't hear it clearly. Say it again so I can hear it?"
Thirty-three militia members, the oldest is twenty-three years old and the youngest is seventeen years old.
At this time, when facing Luo Heng, no one dared to say a word.
Luo Henglen said: "What happened today? Do you know?"
No one answered, everyone was silent.
Luo Heng looked at these twenty-nine people.
I felt a little upset.
Thirty-three militia members are training and living together these days.
Luo Heng used the half-baked military knowledge he learned during his military training.
I want to use this method to cultivate the love of these people.
Since the other party wants to spend money to buy the inside killer.
It’s impossible to find just four people.
Finally, four people participated.
Luo Heng didn't believe that none of the others knew about it.
Perhaps, some people feel that they have not agreed to bribe Qin Fu and others.
There's nothing wrong with that.
But Luo Heng didn't want to just expose this matter.
So far, no one among the remaining twenty-nine people has taken the initiative to stand up and tell him about this matter.
It shows that there is something wrong with the loyalty of these people.
We haven't been together for long, and Luo Heng doesn't want these guys to be loyal to him. After going to the battlefield, they go through fire and water and risk their lives.
However, no one even informed him of the news in advance.
This made Luo Heng even more angry than being assassinated by a traitor!
"Why do you think I singled you out, gave you guns, and taught you marksmanship?"
Luo Heng asked with a serious look.
Everyone lowered their heads and remained silent.
Luo Heng just stood there, staring at these guys.
There is no rush to clean up the remnants of the Qin family.
Unifying internal ideology is the top priority!
After a few minutes, Luo Heng continued: "Can anyone tell me now that I will single out you people?
"I will give your family a reduced rent and a tax exemption, give you good food and drink, and even have someone make your fucking clothes. What do you want to do in order to train you?"
Everyone remained silent.
Luo Heng didn't wait this time, and directly reached out and pulled the guy who just refused to be controlled by a woman out of the crowd.
Staring at this guy, he shouted loudly: "You fucking tell me now? What do I want to do?"
The man was so frightened that his face turned pale and sweat dripped from his forehead.
His lips were trembling a little.
"Like a man, tell me loudly, why do you think I do this?"
The young man finally said tremblingly: "It's for... so that we can learn our skills well and fight for our husband in the future..."
Luo Heng threw him away.
It doesn't say whether this statement is right or wrong.
His eyes turned to the other person: "What do you think I am for?"
"Sir, you want us to use the guns in our hands to protect Shahe Town!"
Luo Heng smiled, his expression softened a little, and he pointed to the next person: "Tell me..."
"Let's learn marksmanship, fight for Mr., and shoot all those who want to harm Mr.!"
The man puffed up his chest and shouted loudly.
Luo Heng still did not point out whether his statement was right or wrong.
Move on to the next person.
Soon all the twenty-nine militia members had answered.
At this time, Xiaoyi suddenly called out: "Sir..."
Luo Heng looked at her: "What do you want to say?"
Xiaoyi's eyes were a little excited, and she took a step forward and shouted loudly: "Sir, take down Shahe as a foundation.
"We will definitely learn our skills well, follow your husband to make contributions, and fight for his great cause!"
After Xiaoyi finished speaking, her little face flushed with excitement.
The men in the militia looked at them quite proudly, like a proud little peacock.
Several women behind him nodded heavily.
Obviously, they all felt that Xiaoyi was right.
Mr. Luo was a life-saving grace to the sisters, allowing them to come and go freely, and also arranged their future lives.
Teach them their skills.
These women have already discussed this topic countless times in private.
They felt that everything their husband did in Shahe Town was to prepare for a great cause.
And these women are willing to dedicate everything they have to Mr. Luo's great cause.
It can be said that these twelve women are Luo Heng's die-hard loyalists, as long as Luo Heng speaks.
If they were asked to die now, they would not hesitate.
Even some people in the militia were a little surprised.
Feeling that Xiaoyi's words must be the correct answer, she couldn't help but nodded slightly.
Luo Heng smiled and shook his head gently: "You are all wrong..."
Doubt flashed in everyone's eyes.
"I will give you two taels of silver every month, issue you weapons, and teach you how to kill the enemy in battle.
“And we will also give your families preferential treatment. Anyone who has a vigilante group at home will have priority in the distribution of materials from the cooperative.
"I promised before that after everything is stable in Shahe Town, I will set up a school for your younger brothers, sisters, and your children.
"They all go to school to learn knowledge. If there is an opportunity in the future, I will send them abroad, to a country where foreigners are a ghost, to see the outside world.
"I'm not doing all this just to make you work for me in the future. In fact, with my ability, Luo Heng.
"Even if you show off your marksmanship, it won't be of much help to me. If anything happens, I can defeat it with just a pair of fists.
"There is a saying that may sound arrogant, but it is true. Just you people, if each of you is given a gun and you can let go and shoot me, you are no match for me."
The women nodded thoughtfully, just because Luo Heng was in the Qin Mansion, he could fight so many guards by himself.
This is not wrong...
And today, those four traitors also verified Luo Heng's point of view with their actions.
Four guns launched a sudden sneak attack from four angles, and Luo Heng didn't even scratch his skin...
Everyone in the vigilante group was also a little confused.
“In this world, what is most indispensable is people, but what is most lacking is also people.
“I’m telling you this now, but you may not understand it.
"Just remember, if I really want to find a desperado who will work for me, there are plenty out there as long as I'm willing to spend the money.
"What did Mr. Qin do to the Shahe Gang and those nursing homes in the past?
"How much money can the Qin family spend? Aren't those people still working for the Qin family?"
Luo Heng continued: "I only spent a lot more on you.
"An advanced musket is now sold for hundreds of taels of silver. You practice your marksmanship and shoot so much ammunition every day, and the money you get out of it is also silver.
"That money is enough for me to support several small gangs like the Shahe Gang.
"You want to fight for me and say something to hurt you, but you are not worthy yet!"
Regardless of men or women, everyone present looked a little confused.
Luo Heng continued to speak: "In today's world, it only costs five taels of silver to buy a prisoner's life from the prison of the magistrate's office.
"The money I spent on you is far more than the price of a desperado who can sacrifice his life for me."
In fact, Luo Heng secretly changed a concept here.
Spending five taels of silver can indeed buy a prisoner out of prison.
But if you want people to obey orders and work hard, you can't just free them from prison.
Of course, Luo Heng would not explain so much.
And most of the people present were not that knowledgeable.
In addition, Luo Heng was guiding his thoughts at this time, so he couldn't think of that many things.
"Of course, I spent so much money on you, gave you food, clothing, muskets and ammunition, and taught you how to kill the enemy.
“It’s not just to raise a bunch of idlers.
"I'm not short of money. Half of Shahe Town's rent and 30% of the harvest are nothing in my eyes.
"I am completely exempt from the tax. In fact, I have not received a penny from the time I arrived in Shahe Town until now. Instead, I support the elderly and orphans, and buy farm tools for the four village cooperatives.
"By the way, I will also make clothes and shoes for you, as well as muskets in your hands. Food to eat...
"In just a few months, I have already spent thousands of taels of silver in Shahe Town.
"With the reduced rent in Shahe Town, how many years will it take me to recover the cost?"
I don’t know if I don’t count the accounts.
There are also quite a few people who feel that Luo Heng wants to stabilize Shahe Town as its foundation.
In the future, he will become like the Qin family.
The big boss who controls Shahe.
But after Luo Heng said this, everyone only made a rough summary.
That's really what happened.
Not to mention the grains that everyone eats these days, potatoes, onions, rice, flour and so on.
And that kind of tin can meat.
That’s beef!
How much does it cost to supply it almost every day?
Luo Heng didn't wait for these guys to finish their feelings.
He continued: "The reason why I arranged for everyone to continue to pay 30% of the ground rent and half of the shop rent.
"There is only one purpose, and that is to hope that one day, the money collected can be used to support you trained combatants.
"But, can any of you tell me why the people of Shahe Town should pay to support you?"
Sorry, I'm so tired, I just came back and fell asleep...
Fortunately, I woke up in the middle and rushed out a chapter!
Brothers, there are only two days left. We will finish the work on the 4th and we will resume normal updates on the 5th. Then we will try our best to make up for the updates we owe you in the past few days as soon as possible.
Today I’ll give you 5,000 words! Don't say anything else. For someone who has a daily income of tens of thousands, I only wrote five thousand. I felt very guilty. I repented!
(End of chapter)
