Chapter 229 Go to the area where the Li family lives(1/2)
Time passed quickly as time passed.
Finally, at nine o'clock, when the sun began to heat up, Wang Long and others couldn't wait any longer, so the three of them came over together.
At this time, Huang An was still sitting leisurely under the shade of the trees in the corridor outside the courtyard, drinking tea and spending time.
He had long noticed the three Wang and Long people who were dawdling not far away. He wanted to come over but was afraid of disturbing him.
Now, they have finally arrived, and it is almost time to let them out of the city.
"Huang, Brother Huang, didn't you say you were going to two villages outside the city to collect food? If you are later, you won't be able to come back!"
Wang Long had a look of anxiety on his face.
Seeing that Huang An was still drinking tea slowly, he became even more anxious.
"Um, oh?"
Huang An was startled, as if he had just remembered that there was such a thing, and stood up immediately.
"Oh, look at my mind, I'm so busy."
As he spoke, he walked towards his yard.
"Quick, arrange your manpower immediately! Just outside the main entrance."
As he spoke, he quickly disappeared at the entrance of the courtyard and walked into the courtyard.
Wang Long and the other three had helpless expressions on their faces. They looked up at the sky. Wang Long said worriedly:
"I hope it won't rain today, otherwise we'll be in trouble if we don't get back tonight. I heard we're going to make braised pork tonight, so I'll tell my brothers to hurry up."
Liu Hai and Tang Shi nodded in agreement.
The three of them left quickly and organized the manpower.
One of the very good things about working with Huang An is that the food is very good.
They ate even better than when they attended the banquet organized by their boss during the Chinese New Year.
"Have you heard that Boss Zhang and the three of them got a lot of money this morning?"
"Ah? Why don't I know? Tell me quickly..."
.....
However, what these three people didn't know was that Huang An, the sixth child, never wanted them to come back with food today from the beginning.
They were destined not to be able to eat this braised pork meal.
The team to transport food out of the city was quickly arranged. They gathered under the shade of trees on both sides of the road outside the martial arts hall, with a group standing on the east side and a group standing on the west side.
Number of people fifty-five.
Wang Long and the other three stood in the shade under the eaves at the main entrance of the martial arts hall, waiting for Huang An.
The three of them prepared to ride over.
After waiting for less than three minutes, Huang An came out.
However, what surprised Wang Long and the others was that there were two other people beside Huang An.
The leaders of Xialin Village, Zhang Rang and Meng Yun.
Both of them led horses, one to the left and one to the right, half a step behind Huang An and coming together with Huang An.
Could it be?
Wang Long also had a more delicate mind and quickly guessed part of Huang An's intentions.
Is this because Huang An didn't trust them, so he sent his own people to keep an eye on them?
Maybe, you are still worried that people like you are greedy for money?
It's just the second point, Wang Long is not sure about.
In his subconscious mind, it was mandatory for Huang An to go to collect grain outside the city, and there was no need to spend any money.
He had heard that the people in Xialin Village all grew up in several villages outside the city.
To be honest, he could not trust the character of his subordinates.
Along the way, you need to be restrained to avoid making both parties look bad.
Wang Long didn't know that they had no chance of causing trouble in the countryside.
Just as Wang Long and the others were racing with their thoughts, Huang An led someone to walk in front of the three of them.
He looked around Wang Long and the other three and directly ordered:
"Let's go outside the city. The three of you will take charge. All matters big and small will be subject to your brother Wang's orders!"
Huang An gestured to everyone with his eyes. Liu Hai and the others were not surprised at all and nodded in agreement.
Wang Long also clasped his fists, taking over this heavy responsibility.
However, Huang An has always attached great importance to the decentralization of power, and the stakes here are so important that he cannot put all the responsibility on Wang Long.
Moreover, his real purpose was not to transport food, but to kill the Li family.
Wang Long can be the leader, but he can only be a leader like a tool man.
He must always have control over this team in his own hands.
And this was also the most important reason why he brought his two loyal brothers, Zhang Rang and Meng Yun, with him.
He suddenly stretched out his hand, pointed at Zhang Rang and Meng Yun next to him, and said to Wang Long and others:
"Meng Yun is in charge of all expenses and action routes during this trip, and Zhang Rang is responsible for keeping accounts. Do you three have any objections?"
When Wang Long and the other three heard this, their expressions changed slightly, but they all shook their heads to express their attitudes.
After all, Zhang Rang and Meng Yun are both Huang An's own people, and they are from the Firearms Department, outsiders.
And so far, the time spent working with Huang An, and even the time spent getting to know Huang An, is less than a week.
It is understandable that such an important thing as spending money should be left to your own people.
They are not young and have been in the military for a long time, so they have nothing to feel bad about.
They subconsciously ignored the four words "line of action".
And this is actually a very important point.
Huang An was still waiting for them to ask, but in the end, Wang Long and the others agreed without even having to give the order himself. This was a good thing.
Huang An was very satisfied with the three people's understanding of current affairs. He smiled, then glanced at Wang Long, then looked at Liu Hai and Tang Shi on one side, and promised the three people:
"You guys go out of the city with peace of mind and do your work well. We are all brothers, so I'll put my ugly words ahead!
Villages such as Dahuaishuzhuang, Zhaojiazhuang, and Wangzhuang are all relatively close to each other. During the harvesting process, you are not allowed to harass the villagers. If I hear anything unpleasant, don’t blame me for putting you three to death!"
Sure enough, Huang An's words made the three of them stunned.
Wang Long smiled and agreed immediately.
"Brother Huang, don't worry. These villages belong to you and Mr. Zhao. I will only bully the people of these villages when I get the courage to do so?"
Liu Hai followed up and promised, "Brother Huang, don't worry, if any kid dares to think wrong, I will break their legs without you taking action."
When Huang An heard this, he saw that the expressions of the three people were not fake, and knew that they had listened, so he did not give any more instructions.
A relaxed smile appeared on his face, the corner of his mouth curled up, and he continued to give instructions:
"Do your job well, and when you come back, you will be rewarded heavily, including your brothers! When you are on the road, you can tell them that when you come back from your job, ordinary big-headed soldiers will receive at least two taels of silver each!"
The tone of this sentence is normal, but the content is very strange.
Huang An was giving Wang Long and the others a vaccination to prevent the three of them from taking his letter, seeing the contents, and treating it as fake news.
He was confident that the clever Wang Long could understand some of the meaning of his words.
So while he was talking, his eyes were always on Wang Long's eyes.
The puzzled expression on Wang Long's face did not disappoint Huang An.
He spoke very seriously, and Wang Long listened very seriously.
There is something wrong with Huang An's words.
Wang Long's heart skipped a beat. Seeing the faint smile on Huang An's lips, he was suddenly startled and doubtful. His brows furrowed slightly and a puzzled expression appeared on his face.
If you go out of the city once to pull food, when you come back, ordinary soldiers will be rewarded with two taels of silver?
Something is wrong. The difficulty of the task and the final task reward do not match at all!
Everyone has two taels of silver.
When did money become so easy to earn?
You know, among the frontier troops, killing an enemy leader only cost five taels of silver.
It's totally wrong to go and pull some grain within ten or twenty miles outside the city, and you can get two taels of silver.
Brother Huang is hinting at something to me. Is he reminding me?
