According to Zhou Qing's story, after Han Baihang left, Xu Wangtang was quite honest and did not provoke them.
However, later, when news came back that Han Baihang had offended Zhang Renkui in Shanghai, Xu Wangtang began to take action in a big way. First he took back control of the militia, and then he used clever pretexts to drive Zhou Qing and others out of their original station.
Just before Han Baihang returned, Xu Wangtang seemed to know that he could not wait any longer, so he encouraged Zhou Qing and others to go out of the city to suppress the bandits.
I never expected that this was actually a trap set by Xu Wangtang in collusion with the bandits. Zhou Qing and others fell into it, which led to the current situation.
Han Baihang stood up and walked out of the courtyard. Zhao San stopped him, "You go to Xu Wangtang now. Even killing him will not help. You might as well sit down and think calmly about how to deal with Xu Wangtang's next trap."
.”
Han Baihang sneered: "I'm just afraid that if he doesn't come to provoke me now, I'm worried that I can't find an excuse to deal with him!"
Zhao San pushed up his glasses and said: "The more this time comes, the more you need to calm down and plan. Isn't that why you have to ask me to come?"
At this time, Han Baihang finally suppressed his anger and sat back down. Zhou Qing had someone bring another table over.
"What do you think Xu Wangtang will use to deal with me next?"
Zhao San said with a strange light in his eyes: "Xu Wangtang has tried so hard to cripple your team before you come back, just because he is afraid of you. Now that you have Sanxin Company as your backing in Shanghai, there is no such thing as lack of money.
It’s true, it’s only a matter of time before the team grows. So Han Baihang will definitely want to give you a fatal blow during the weak period when you rebuild the team.”
Zhou Qing listened to Han Baihang briefly introduce his experiences in Shanghai and knew that the scholar-looking man in front of him was extremely intelligent. After hearing his analysis, Zhou Qing hurriedly asked: "Could it be that Xu Wangtang wants to use a killer to assassinate the company commander?"
Zhao San shook his head and said: "If he really dares to do this, then he will not be far from death."
Zhou Qing frowned and said, "Then what will he do?"
Zhao San continued: "Xu Wangtang can only do two things. First, it prevents you from recruiting soldiers. Without soldiers, no matter how much money or weapons you have, you will not be enough to threaten him."
"What about number two?"
"The second is to let all of us die in accidents."
"Death in an accident?"
This time, not only Zhou Qing, but also everyone looked at Zhao San with strange eyes. Although the army was disabled, there were hundreds of people, and it was simply a fantasy that all of them died in an accident.
Zhao San said calmly: "If I were Xu Wangtang, I would choose the latter. After all, the cost is very low."
Han Baihang asked in confusion: "Let's not talk about whether Xu Wangtang has the ability to do it. If he can really do it, why do he have to wait for me to come back before taking action?"
Zhao San patiently explained to everyone: "If all the troops are dead before you come back, Commander Yu will send another team over, and you will be the leader. Isn't this just a way to enhance your strength in disguise? It's just right.
Weaken a part of it, there is no need to increase the troops, and you have to come back. When the time comes, you can capture them all, and you will be able to defeat them once and for all!"
Everyone couldn't help but take a breath of cold air. They all knew that Xu Wangtang was vicious, but they didn't expect that he would reach such a point.
Han Baihang also gradually calmed down, knowing that now was not the time to be impulsive. If he was not careful, he would be doomed.
"What do you think Xu Wangtang will do? Poison him?"
This was the simplest way that Han Baihang thought of, but Zhao San shook his head and said: "This will leave evidence. Xu Wangtang will not be so stupid. In my opinion, he will still use bandits. When the city gate opens, come to this camp to attack
After a few rounds and a few cold shots from the militia, the goal was naturally achieved."
Han Baihang thought for a while and said: "If you put it this way, Xu Wangtang is probably going to take action tonight?"
Zhao San nodded and said: "The sooner you do things, the better."
After Zhao Sanyi's analysis, everyone understood what kind of danger they were in. Only then did Han Baihang understand why Ding Qingyao was so anxious and wanted to leave Yongcheng. She must know something.
Han Baihang stood up and said to Zhao San: "Since we already know Xu Wangtang's plan, I will leave it to you to arrange it. I will find someone to find out the details of Xu Wangtang."
After saying that, Han Baihang walked out of the courtyard, looking for Ding Qingyaowen to clarify.
At this moment, Xu Wangtang returned home with a red face, and happened to see Ding Qingyao looking in a hurry, so he stopped her.
"Have you been out?"
Ding Qingyao panicked, lowered her head and said with evasive eyes: "I've always been at home, never... never went out."
Xu Wangtang squinted his eyes, glanced at Ding Qingyao's mud-stained shoes, then looked at the messy bun, and coldly snorted: "You are the daughter-in-law of my Xu family. The generations of my Xu family have been upright! There has never been anything like this.
, my unruly daughter-in-law! Take care of yourself!"
After saying that, Xu Wangtang walked away, not giving Ding Qingyao a chance to explain. Ding Qingyao stood there, twirling his fingers uneasily, looking at the gate, then at Xu Wangtang's leaving back, and finally ran back in tears.
Your own boudoir.
Xu Wangtang returned to his room. As soon as he sat down, someone knocked on the door. Xu Wangtang raised his head and said, "You are here. How are things arranged?"
"It's all arranged, we'll start as soon as it gets dark!"
"This matter must be done cleanly and neatly, and there must be no clues!"
"Don't worry, their well water has been drugged with laxatives. I guarantee that everyone's calves will become weak at night and they won't be able to run away!"
Xu Wangtang nodded with satisfaction, waved to the man and said, "Everything goes according to plan! Again, don't make any mistakes! Otherwise, just use your head as a chamber pot!"
The man bowed and walked out. Xu Wangtang touched the crutch in his hand, squinted his eyes and showed a smile inadvertently, and shouted at the door, "Here comes someone!"
A man who looked like a butler came over and said, "Sir, what are your orders?"
Xu Wangtang stroked his beard and said: "Ask the people below to prepare. I am going to have a big banquet for guests tonight!"
"Yes, sir!" The butler paused and asked carefully, "I don't know, what is the name of the banquet?"
Xu Wangtang said with a smile: "Of course it is for Commander Han Dalian to take over and wash away the dust. Don't leave any dignitaries in Yongcheng behind!"
"Yes, I understand, little one!"
The butler withdrew, and the smile on Xu Wangtang's face became stronger and stronger, and he murmured to himself: "Han Baihang, not only do I want you to die, but I also want you to be ruined and never be able to stand up again!"
With a snap, Xu Wangtang slapped his palm on the table, shaking the teacup on the table.
