Yang Ling's eyes were like daggers, as he watched these disheveled members of the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Brigade being roughly detained by their brothers. He would smash the butt of his gun from time to time in response to the resistance, but his expression did not change at all.
"There are forty-five people in the group, all of them have been captured." Soon Wang Huzi ran over to report.
Yang Ling nodded and said, "Bring them all to the Qian family compound!"
Hu Biao and other members of the National Salvation Brigade were mostly water bandits and were used to being arrogant and arrogant. However, they were still submissive in the face of the wolf-like guerrilla officers and soldiers.
When he heard that they were to be taken to the Qian family compound, Hu Biao suddenly realized what had happened.
"Sir, we are from the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Brigade, so the Qian family's affairs have nothing to do with us." Hu Biao saw that Yang Ling was the leader and hurriedly explained.
"We'll find out later if it's relevant, take it away!"
Yang Ling and his third guerrilla detachment have just established a foothold in the Xiaowangzhuang area, and someone is causing trouble in their guerrilla zone. How can he, as the commander here, sit back and watch.
If he doesn't stand up for the Qian family this time, the prestige of their third guerrilla detachment will be ruined, and the consequences will be immeasurable.
So this time since the anti-Japanese and national salvation brigade led by Hu Biao ran into their guns, Yang Ling did not want to let them go so easily. He had to teach them some lessons to achieve a deterrent effect.
Otherwise, no one will dare to come to their guerrilla areas to cause trouble in the future and ride on their heads to dominate them. Even if they go out to fight the Japanese, they will not be worried if their rear is unstable.
Soon, Hu Biao and other members of the National Salvation Brigade were detained by the guerrilla brothers who were armed with live ammunition and took them to Qian's compound.
The Qian family compound was shrouded in an atmosphere of grief. Seeing that Hu Biao and others were really detained by Yang Ling and others, they were grateful to Yang Ling and others, but also glared at Hu Biao and others.
At first, Hu Biao and others thought it would be okay to die, but when they saw the cold eyes of Qian Fuming and others, they still felt terrified.
"I said shopkeeper Qian, what do you mean?"
Hu Biao did not dare to resist Yang Ling and the others, but when he saw Qian Fuming standing there with red and swollen eyes, he immediately asked loudly, with a fierce look in his eyes.
Qian Fuming was stared at by Hu Biao's fierce gaze. He was also frightened and looked at Yang Ling.
Yang Ling said calmly: "Shopkeeper Qian, you have provided military supplies for our guerrillas. You are a patriot, so you will naturally be protected by our guerrillas. If you have any grievances, just say it now, I will make the decision for you!"
With Yang Ling's words, Qian Fuming, who was afraid of retaliation, straightened up a lot and began to complain while wiping his tears.
"Mr. Yang, that's them. They molested my female family members and extorted money. My poor Liu'er couldn't bear the humiliation and ran into a wall and died. You have to make the decision for me..."
Seeing that Qian Fuming dared to expose what they had done in public, Hu Biao was also furious.
"Qian, are you looking for death? How dare you frame our anti-Japanese team!" Hu Biao threatened loudly with his eyes wide open.
But now that Qian Fuming had Yang Ling's support, he was not afraid of Hu Biao's threat at all and continued to talk to himself, making Hu Biao's teeth itch with anger.
"Vice Captain Hu, is what Shopkeeper Qian said true?"
After Yang Ling waited for Qian Fuming to finish speaking, his eyes turned to Hu Biao, who was detained by two brothers.
Hu Biao also raised his neck and shook his head: "It's not a matter of business. They are framed, right? Chief Yang, you have to interrogate Qian properly. They are slandering the anti-Japanese team and trying to alienate us. I doubt them."
He is a Japanese spy."
"You...you're talking nonsense..." Qian Fuming also didn't expect Hu Biao to slap him down, and he was so angry that he couldn't speak.
"Sir Yang, we are not spies for the Japanese." Qian Fuming was also panicked and hurriedly asked Yang Ling for help.
Yang Ling naturally knew what was going on, and said with relief: "I will naturally figure out the right and wrong. I will not wrongly accuse a good person, nor will I let a bad person go!"
"Let the women come out and recognize each other. I want to see who is bullying the people in the name of resisting Japan." Yang Ling ordered Qian Fuming.
Soon, the weeping female relatives were invited out. Looking at the men of the national salvation brigade with fierce faces, although they were scared, they still began to identify them.
"It was him, he bullied me."
"The one with the scar on his face..."
"It's the bald guy who forced Xiao Liu'er into being."
Soon, more than ten people who participated in the national salvation brigade that bullied the Qian family's female relatives were identified.
"Vice Captain Hu, do you have anything else to say?" Yang Ling turned to ask Hu Biao.
Hu Biao said nonchalantly: "Sir Yang, my brothers are just playing with them, it cannot be considered as bullying."
"Yeah, it's just a joke. There's no need to make a fuss." People from the National Salvation Brigade also shouted and spoke.
When Yang Ling looked at this group of unrepentant people, anger surged in his chest.
"Just for fun?" Yang Ling snorted coldly and asked in a stern voice: "If someone insults your wives and children and takes off their clothes, your wives and children will be humiliated and hit the wall to death! How can you still say it's just a joke?
Is that all?!”
Hearing Yang Ling's loud questioning, the members of the National Salvation Brigade who were shouting that they were wronged also fell silent collectively.
"Sir Yang, what are you talking about? I'll go back and discipline them properly and make sure they don't do it again next time. You let us go first. We are all a family. Don't hurt the harmony." Hu Biao was silent for a while and said.
"Then what do you do when you force people to death? Just want to deal with it like this?" Wang Huzi asked with a cold face.
Hu Biao said nonchalantly: "Isn't there just one person who died? Just take him out and bury him."
"Sir Yang, my Liu'er died unjustly..." Qian Fuming cried again when he heard what Hu Biao and others said.
"That's easy to say. The state-owned French army has military regulations. Since you have hurt people, it is impossible to get away with it!" Yang Ling said and ordered Wang Huzi: "Bring those involved out to me to enforce military law."
, Those who deserve to be shot after dawn will be shot, and those who deserve to be beaten with military sticks will be beaten with military sticks!"
"Sir Yang, what do you mean?" Hu Biao was also anxious when he heard that Yang Ling was going to kill someone if he disagreed.
Yang Ling replied coldly: "It doesn't make any sense. Kill people to pay for their lives, owe debts to pay for money, your people owe discipline, I will help you take care of it!"
"Young man named Yang, don't be shameless. I'm from the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Brigade. You, the Third Guerrilla Detachment, can't control me! Let us go quickly, or you will be responsible for the consequences!" Hu Biao was also scared and would save the country.
The brigade has moved out.
"Go to hell with the National Salvation Brigade, they are causing trouble in our guerrilla zone, and you don't even look at how many eyes Lord Ma has!"
Wang Huzi cursed and punched the yelling Hu Biao in the face. Hu Biao was caught off guard and one of his front teeth flew out with blood.
Wang Huzi would beat people whenever he disagreed, and Hu Biao also screamed in pain, which made Qian Fuming and others feel extremely happy.
"Thank you, Chief Yang, for making the decision for the people." Qian Fuming and others knelt down to express their gratitude to Yang Ling.
