When Zheng Shengjing and his men were 200 meters away from the village entrance pier, they took out a flashlight, three long and one short, to send a signal to the pier.
The signal given by Zheng Shengjing was not only visible to the people on the dock boat, but also to the people led by Zhang Hongxin. This was also a signal for them to prepare for action. Seeing this signal, they all loaded their guns and got ready.
After sending the signal, after a while, the ship at the dock also responded with a signal, two long and one short, and relit the lantern.
Seeing this situation, Zheng Shengjing made a gesture and another person emerged from the cabin. He was dressed similarly to Zheng Shengjing and was also wrapped more tightly.
At this time, including the boatman, there were a total of three people in the open. Although there were other people hidden in the cabin, these people could not be exposed. After all, Nishino and the others only had three people in total. Every time there was a transaction,
It's just the three of them. No matter how many people there are, it's easy for them to slip through.
Zheng Shengjing's boat slowly approached. The people on the boat at the pier felt relieved when they saw that there were only three people on board. Although the three of them were wrapped tightly, Nishino and the others usually delivered goods no better than this, not to mention the rain today.
Rain, no one on the boat was suspicious.
According to the rules, Zheng Shengjing's boat was docked on the upper side of the pier, while the Jiang bandit's boats were docked on the lower side of the pier. The boat containing morphine raw materials was at the outermost side. This was brought by Nishino and the others for the convenience of the three of them.
Leave after transaction.
As soon as the boat docked at the dock, Zheng Shengjing said in a hoarse voice: "Old rules, check each other out."
After saying that, Zheng Shengjing and Zheng Jing, who had been leaning sideways just now, seemed to be very cold. They buried their heads in their scarves, then went to the pier and walked to the boat at the end.
On the boat among the river bandits, two river bandits also came out and walked towards Zheng Shengjing's boat.
Zheng Shengjing and the other two quickly boarded the ship and checked immediately. As expected, it was exactly what Xi Ye had said. No one was left on board the ship.
Zheng Shengjing and the two looked at each other. As they exited the cabin, they took out their pistols and jumped from this boat to the middle boat.
Because he was not very familiar with the boat, Zheng Shengjing stumbled on the bow of the boat and almost fell off. This also made the river bandits on the boat notice something unusual and immediately stretched their hands behind them.
"Bang..." Fortunately, the men following Zheng Shengjing replenished their guns in time and immediately killed the river bandits on the boat.
The two river bandits who had just half-hidden into Zheng Shengjing's boat heard the gunfire and before they could react, they were dragged into the cabin by people hiding behind the cargo boxes and controlled.
"Bang bang bang..." This shot in the dark night was like a signal, and suddenly gunshots began to sound at the entrance of the village.
Cao Dajiang and his party, who were hiding in a big tree at the entrance of the village, were just about to open fire to support the dock, when intensive gunshots rang out from all around behind them, and rain of bullets rained down on the trees. Cao Dajiang was immediately stunned.
When he came to his senses, most of the men around him had been destroyed, and the rest were beaten to the point of panic and began to flee in all directions.
"..." As soon as Cao Dajiang was about to organize, he was hit by a bullet. Seeing that the situation was over, he had no choice but to join the fleeing team.
It's a pity that there are blocked areas around, or Zhang Hongxin has deployed manpower before. Those that were not deployed before are now blocked by people. The defeated river bandits were driven towards the river bank.
"Ah ah ah..." Cao Dajiang, who was rushing into the water with his head lowered, suddenly heard a scream in his ears. Unexpectedly, his feet suddenly slipped and he felt himself surrounded by a wave of coldness.
At the dock, Zheng Shengjing and his two men did not board the last ship, but watched the opposite ship from the bow and stern.
On the boat that Zheng Shengjing came from, no one came down to help. Instead, something was set up at the stern of the boat. A switch clicked, and the dock and the entrance to the village suddenly lit up. What they set up was a large search light.
But the light of the big searchlight made Zhang Hongxin, who was at the dock and led people to rush under the tree, stunned for a moment because something was crawling on the river bank.
Zhang Hongxin took a closer look and immediately became happy. The squirming people were the Jiang bandits who were running away. Just now, he was surprised that the people were gone and they were stuck in the mud.
It turned out that today's heavy rain had soaked through the dry mud on the river bank. These river bandits who were scurrying around had no intention of paying attention to this situation and just fell into it.
You must know that this is river mud, which is large in quantity, delicate, and slippery. If you are not careful, you will be trapped to death. What's more, this is still in Jiangxinzhou, so the problem is even bigger.
"Surrender, help me quickly..."
"Help……"
…………
These river bandits have been hanging around the Yangtze River all year round. For this situation, they naturally understood what the consequences would be, and many people immediately started shouting.
Among this group of Jiang bandits, the most unlucky one was Cao Dajiang. When he heard the screams, he subconsciously paused. This made him not fly into the mud, but his whole body, face up, stunned.
Stunned, he slipped into the mud.
Although this prevented his eyes, nose, and mouth from getting into the mud, his ears were directly blocked by the mud, and the gun in his hand disappeared. He finally managed to free his upper body from the mud, but his lower body couldn't move no matter how hard he tried.
Move a fraction.
After setting up the headlight, the remaining people on the boat finally came to help Zheng Shengjing and the others. There was only one river bandit on the remaining boat. Seeing that he could not escape, he threw his gun and surrendered.
The support ship brought by Lin Wenhua also docked at the dock, and the personnel quickly disembarked and rushed to the shore to support Zhang Hongxin.
On the river outside Touguan, Yin Zhigang's awning boat had extinguished its lanterns. Yin Zhigang stood on the bow of the boat, looking at the brightly lit village entrance, with an ugly expression on his face.
"Fourth Master, are we going to support the Fifth Master?"
After hearing this, Yin Zhigang cursed angrily: "What kind of support can we use? Withdraw first! We will make plans later."
After hearing this, his subordinates asked again: "Master Si, where should we go? Should we go ashore?"
"You can't go ashore! There may be some of their people on the shore. They all got into the cabin and let the river carry the boat downstream. They also prepared the engine. If there is any situation, they will immediately start to escape. I suspect that this river has been blocked.
Already."
"Yes, Fourth Master..." After the people in the boat responded, they started to make preparations in the dark. The first thing they did was to move a wooden box near the middle of the stern, and suddenly an object with an iron light was revealed.
Someone fiddled with it for a while, and another person took a bucket and poured some liquid into it. The person rowing at the stern rowed hard a few times and then entered the cabin.
After a while, the boat became quiet, and the group of people stayed quietly in the cabin, letting the river water carry the boat slowly downstream.
At the entrance of the village, Lin Wenhua arrived with people and asked Sun Shaohua and others to help, while he approached Zhang Hongxin.
"Hongxin, how's it going? No one escaped, right?"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Hongxin shook his head and said, "It went very smoothly. No one broke through the encirclement. Everyone should be here."
Lin Wenhua listened, nodded, and said, "Okay, let someone light a lantern! Inform other people of the situation."
After hearing this, Zhang Hongxin said a few words to his men, who then ran to the pier. After a while, the lanterns on the ships at the pier were lit, and then one ship after another on the river lit up their lanterns.
At a water crossing in the middle of the river, after Zhang Jingmin hung up the lantern, Liao Tinghui said, "Let's go! Since there's nothing else, let's go down and have a look."
"Yes..." Zhang Jingmin responded and made arrangements. After a while, the boat started moving and began to sail downstream of the river.
At the entrance of the village, Lin Wenhua and Zhang Hongxin looked around, and then walked to the river bank. Looking at the river bandit who was pulled out and covered in mud, neither of them knew what to say.
"Hard... Come, 1, 2, 3... Pull..." A shout from one side attracted the attention of Lin Wenhua and the other two, and they walked over.
The person who yelled was Liu Zhenshan, and the person who was pulled was Cao Dajiang. Lin Wenhua came over and asked a few words, and then he realized that Cao Dajiang was trapped too deep and could not be pulled out. Lin Wenhua and the others also joined in, and it took a lot of effort to pull him out.
Give it a little pull out.
"Find something to carry water and clean up these people!"
After giving instructions to Liu Zhenshan, Lin Wenhua was just about to leave when he thought of something and quickly asked Zhang Hongxin: "Hongxin, where is the money these people traded? Have you found it?"
"Uh..." Zhang Hongxin was stunned for a moment, then realized that he had forgotten this question, and quickly stopped Liu Zhenshan who was about to leave.
"Zhenshan, you were here just now and had a wide view. Did you see these people bring money ashore?"
Hearing this, Liu Zhenshan nodded and said, "Yes, I saw someone coming up with a small suitcase. The person behind him seemed to have climbed a tree."
"Then go look for it quickly and find it."
"Wait a minute and let others look for it. I still have questions to ask you." Lin Wenhua stopped Liu Zhenshan who was about to leave.
Hearing this, Liu Zhenshan nodded, gave some instructions to those around him, and then asked Lin Wenhua: "Team leader, what else can you do?"
"Let me ask you, I remember there was another boat in front of these three boats. Have you seen where it went?"
After hearing this, Liu Zhenshan recalled it carefully and said, "It seems to have sailed to Touguan on the opposite side! I only saw it going there, and then these three boats arrived, and I didn't notice the boat again."
"Then that boat, has it ever been close to here?"
After hearing this, Liu Zhenshan shook his head and said, "No, that boat has been sailing along the opposite side of the river. During that time, I observed that it must not have been close to this side."
Zhang Hongxin listened and interjected: "Team leader, there is our arrangement at the boss. There is no movement now, so there should be no problem!"
"I hope so!" Lin Wenhua said and stopped worrying about this issue.
Lin Wenhua and Zhang Hongxin returned to the place where they watched the bandits under the tree. Lin Wenhua took an inventory of the bandits.
"Nineteen? Hongxin, are you sure all the Jiang bandits are here?"
When Zhang Hongxin heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and replied with some uncertainty: "They should all be here! There is only such a small place, there is no place to hide people, right?"
