"Hand over your guns!" Feng Guanglin gritted his teeth and stamped his feet, shouting at the bandits.
The bandits reluctantly handed over their guns. As Zhou Qing promised, the officers and soldiers did not do anything bad after handing over their guns. They quickly opened a road to let the bandits leave. This made Feng Guanglin relieved. He
Worried that Zhou Qing would regret it, he hurriedly whispered to several bandit leaders and asked them to lead the evacuation. After watching his men disappear behind the curtain of night, he felt completely at ease.
Seeing Feng Guanglin staying alone, Zhou Qing frowned slightly and said, "Master Feng, I have no intention of forcing you to stay. Why don't you leave?"
Feng Guanglin said coldly: "Captain Zhou, the officers and soldiers surrendered my gun today. I want to go with you to see Company Commander Han to discuss today's matter."
"Okay!" Zhou Qing nodded silently and suddenly asked: "Master Feng, in which direction will the red gun go?"
Feng Guanglin's heart moved, thinking that Zhou Qing was going to chase the opium in the hands of the Red Spear Club, so he pointed north and said: "We went north when we separated. They can't move fast with the opium. If we chase them in a hurry, we should be able to catch up."
Zhou Qing nodded, but said nothing more. Instead, he ordered the soldiers to march towards Qingkou Town with opium and guns.
During the journey, both of them spoke little because of the grudge they had just had. Finally, Zhou Qing broke the silence and said, "It has been rumored recently that the bandits from Longshanji are going to attack Yongcheng. Has Master Feng heard about it?"
"Is this happening?"
Feng Guanglin showed fear of Longshan Ji and said in surprise: "There is no news from Comrade Lu Lin in Anhui."
Zhou Qing tightened his grip on the reins, frowned and said, "So this rumor is false?"
"It's hard to say." Feng Guanglin glanced at Zhou Qing and said, "I would rather believe that it exists than that it doesn't exist."
Zhou Qing nodded and said: "Yes, after receiving the news, our army has stationed in Qingkou Town to prevent bandits. It is expected that the bandits will not dare to commit crimes lightly."
Feng Guanglin sneered: "Captain Zhou, you think Longshan Ji is too simple."
"How do you say this?" Zhou Qing asked doubtfully.
Feng Guanglin spoke eloquently: "Longshanji is different from most bandit poles. This is a pole made purely by the army. Its behavior is completely different from that of Green Lin. As long as the counties and towns targeted by them have not missed, they will
Even the provincial army in northern Anhui has been defeated by them time and time again. You can tell whether they are powerful or not."
"That's because the Anhui Provincial Army did not fight." Zhou Qing disagreed. He was a soldier from the Third Division of the Central Army and looked down on the local provincial army from the bottom of his heart. He said: "According to what you said, I really want to meet Longshan Ji.
There are bandits, see if they have three heads and six arms."
Feng Guanglin sneered and stopped talking. He was thinking that when you encounter Longshanji and suffer a loss, he will remember his advice.
…
Late at night, Zhecheng County seemed particularly quiet and peaceful. There was nothing else in the city except the gongs and shouts of the watchmen. The night watchmen on the city tower were still energetic in the first half of the night to guard the city, but in the second half of the night they were sleepy and leaning on their guns to shoot.
Got up and took a nap.
At this time, a group of men in black sprang out from the dark alley and headed straight for the east city gate. There was a platoon of soldiers guarding the gate, but their vigilance was very low.
Only then did he notice something strange. The sentry pointed his gun at the strangers and shouted: "Who are you, stop!"
The men in black did not answer, and walked even faster. Suddenly, they drew their guns from behind and fired at the sentry. The sentry was knocked down as soon as he met him. With the sound of gunshots, these men in black rushed towards the panicked group like tigers. After a chaotic exchange of gunfire,
, most of the regiment was killed, and the others hurriedly fled for their lives and gave up the city gate.
The man in black opened the city gate and waved the torch outside the city. Hearing the sound of fierce horse hooves, a group of cavalry rushed into the city from outside the city and rushed into the city, shouting: "Zhecheng"
Everyone pricks up their ears and listens carefully, Longshan is coming to Guixian to collect grain and grass, and the whole city must collect 200,000 yuan in one day, otherwise Zhecheng will be washed with blood."
As the cavalry broke in, followed by a large number of bandit troops, the city suddenly became chaotic. Seeing the chaos outside, the people could only close the doors and windows and hide in their homes, while the big families in the city hurriedly packed up their belongings.
, planning to escape from the city.
In fact, there were many troops stationed in Zhecheng, including a militia group of 800 people and a battalion of officers and soldiers. However, when the officers and soldiers of this battalion heard that Longshan Ji had entered the city, they abandoned the city and fled without firing a shot, while the regiment members
The mob lost the advantage of the city wall. Facing the wolf-like bandit soldiers, they were beaten to pieces and fled. They barely protected the county magistrate and some large households from escaping from the city. At this point, the county was completely destroyed within a few hours.
fell into the hands of bandits.
In the early morning, Zhecheng County calmed down after a night of chaos. The people hid in their homes, and the big families were invited to the county government one by one by the bandits and were forced to pledge money and food. Among them were the misers who wanted money at the risk of their lives, but Longshan
The bandits who gathered there were all capable of torturing people. After several attempts to punish these people, they cried and howled. Each one pledged their donation faster than the other. The others were frightened and quickly pledged their money and money to avoid disasters. By noon, the bandits
Two hundred thousand oceans were plundered from the wealthy households alone.
After receiving 200,000 yuan, the bandits in Longshanji were considered trustworthy and did not ask for another copper yuan from the wealthy family. They quickly withdrew from the city, leaving behind a shocked people all over the city.
After the bandits withdrew, the officers and soldiers of the battalion that had escaped from the city earlier got the news first and quickly returned to the city, claiming that they had repelled the bandits and recovered Zhe City, and at the same time reported their merits to the summit.
…
At night, Yongcheng was more turbulent than during the day. The originally restrained vigilante groups suddenly went crazy and hunted the Red Spear Club all over the city. Anyone who had the slightest suspicion was arrested, and at worst, they were jailed and tortured.
His head was beheaded. Some wealthy families who were sitting back and thinking were also patronized, and many people were arrested. This made people all over the city frightened and complaining.
Ding family.
Hundreds of servants and maids were shaking and kneeling in an open space. Next to them were several corpses lying in a pool of blood. The men around them had sullen faces and pointed guns at them.
Xue Lin stared at these people with blood-red eyes, and shouted fiercely: "Whoever served you yesterday, please stand up for me." As soon as he fell asleep last night, he got the bad news that Ding Zuopeng had been cut.
He died in the painting studio. After hearing the news, he felt as if he was struck by lightning and silently left two lines of tears. He had already determined in his heart that Ding Zuopeng was his biological father. Now that his father was killed, the hatred of his father made him completely
He went crazy. When he arrived at Ding Mansion, he first killed a few servants to vent his anger, and then arrested all the servants in the manor for interrogation.
More than a dozen servants stood up tremblingly. Xue Lin waved his hand without saying a word, and the group pounced on them like wolves and tigers, pulled these people out, pointed guns at their heads, and these people suddenly burst into tears and noses.
.
"I ask you how the master was assassinated. If you people can't tell me, you are an accomplice." Xue Lin said with murderous intent.
These servants were all arguing, but no one could give a rough idea. Xue Lin was impatient and waved his hand violently. One of the group members shot a servant in the head, and his head suddenly turned white and red.
His blood flowed all over the floor. This scene frightened the servants out of their wits. When their lives were in danger, someone suddenly shouted: "Steward Liu asked us all to leave. The master's assassination may have something to do with him."
"Where's Butler Liu?" Xue Lin turned around and asked the concierge.
The concierge said: "Butler Liu left the house yesterday afternoon, saying that his child was sick."
Xue Lin's expression changed and he yelled: "Go and catch Butler Liu!" He already had a bad feeling in his heart. If this was really done by Butler Liu, he might have disappeared long ago.
