This soft cry woke up Ding Zuopeng. He raised his head blankly and saw clearly the people surrounding him. There was a hint of excitement on his face and he said: "You are Han Baihang's subordinates, right? You are here to save me."
Oh my, I can be saved, I can be saved!"
Cheng Wan and others looked at each other, not understanding why Ding Zuopeng appeared in this place, and where did the firearms all over the ground come from.
Zhao San pushed up his glasses and asked: "When you were preparing to enter the city last night, were you blocked by someone?"
Ding Zuopeng said with lingering fear on his face: "They are bandits. Yongcheng was occupied by bandits. Did you also escape?"
When Ding Zuopeng saw that several people were in tatters and covered with dust, he thought that Han Baihang had also suffered a defeat, so he ran out of Yongcheng in despair.
But after hearing what Ding Zuopeng said, everyone was convinced that the "bandits" they stopped last night were the militia group led by Ding Zuopeng.
Zhao San waved his hand, and Zhou Qing went up to untie Ding Zuopeng's rope and helped Ding Zuopeng up from the ground.
"Yongcheng was not occupied by bandits, it was just looted once." Zhao San paused and continued: "Yesterday, why did you lead the militia group out of the city and didn't come back until midnight?"
Ding Zuopeng swayed, his eyes began to flicker, and he seemed hesitant to speak. Zhao San didn't waste any more words, turned to Cheng Wan and said, "Assemble the troops, let's leave here."
After saying that, Zhao San and others turned around and left without any intention of taking Ding Zuopeng with them. Ding Zuopeng suddenly became anxious. Living in the wilderness, he was already lucky enough to encounter bandits. If he encountered any ferocious beasts, his life would be fatal in an instant.
It's gone.
"Wait a minute, wait a minute." Ding Zuopeng ran two steps and said breathlessly: "I tell you, can't I tell you?"
Everyone stopped and stared at Ding Zuopeng, waiting for him to confess. Ding Zuopeng looked struggling, weighing it in his mind, and finally felt that his life was more important.
"I took the militia out of the city actually to do business." Ding Zuopeng said evasively and inexplicably.
He took the militia group out of the city to do business with such great fanfare and didn't return to the city until midnight.
Zhao San glanced at the weapons on the ground and said calmly: "Are you doing business with bandits?"
Ding Zuopeng lowered his head and remained silent, acquiescing to what Zhao San said. Zhao San then picked up a gun, rubbed it and said: "This gun is still new. It seems that it just arrived. You actually sell weapons to
bandit?"
"No, these are all, all..." Ding Zuopeng felt guilty and didn't know how to defend himself. He shrank his head under the eyes of everyone and did not dare to say any more.
Zhou Qing, with a look of indignation on his face, punched Ding Zuopeng in the face and cursed loudly: "I'm telling you, those bandits' weapons and equipment have improved so much overnight. It turns out it's all you who are doing this! I'm sorry.
I will kill you first today to avenge my dead brother!"
Zhou Qing kicked Ding Zuopeng to the ground, raised his gun and was about to shoot. Zhao San held down the muzzle of Zhou Qing's gun and said, "He can still be of great use if you keep him, don't rush to kill him!"
Obeying orders is the bounden duty of a soldier. Although Zhou Qing wanted to cut Ding Zuopeng into pieces, he had no choice but to put away his gun. Before his resentment was settled, Zhou Qing gave Ding Zuopeng a fist and kick, which made Ding Zuopeng scream and snore repeatedly.
Spare your life.
Seeing that the fight was almost done, Zhao San winked at Li Si, who stepped forward and grabbed Zhou Qing.
"Okay, let's go first. Someone will be here at any time."
After Zhao San finished speaking, he walked out first. Li Si was afraid that Zhou Qing would do something outrageous again, so he followed behind and got Ding Zuopeng out with him.
After sorting out the captured weapons, Zhao San led his troops back the same way. Originally, he planned to stay here and rest for a while after wiping out this group of bandits.
But now it seems that this is not a kind place, so it is better to leave first.
Shortly after Zhao San and others left, a group of fierce bandits emerged from the mountain pass and headed straight for the mountain stronghold. They took a look at the empty mountain stronghold with corpses strewn in the fields, looked at each other, and then turned around and went back the way they came.
Time passed by, and the sun was shining down, and it was already a bit warm. Mei Changyuan sat in the car and kept wiping the sweat from his forehead. He didn't know whether it was because of the hot weather or because of nervousness.
The car screeched to a stop at the gate of Xu's house. Mei Changyuan got out of the car and looked back at Han Baihang. Although he was walking with his knees bent, there was nothing unusual about him.
It's just that wearing a long gown on a hot day is a bit eye-catching. After losing the surprise at first sight, Mei Changyuan looked at Han Baihang as he was full of flaws, and felt a little uneasy.
But now we have arrived at the door of Xu's house. We have no choice but to retreat first and have no choice but to bite the bullet and go forward.
As soon as Mei Changyuan entered the gate, Xu San greeted him and said with a smile on his face: "Mayor Mei, come here, I'm waiting in the lobby."
Mei Changyuan raised his eyebrows and said with an ooh, "Master Xu knows that I'm coming?"
Xu San smiled and said: "Since Mayor Mei left, I have been waiting in the lobby."
Mei Changyuan nodded and said: "Lead the way, I have something to discuss with Mr. Xu."
Xu San walked in front and couldn't help but take a look at Han Baihang in disguise. He felt a little familiar, but he couldn't match the person in his memory.
Being a housekeeper requires a very good memory. Xu San need not boast, he can probably recognize all the big and small people in Yongcheng who he has seen before.
But the person in front of him was obviously familiar to him, but he couldn't remember who he was.
Xu San couldn't help but take a second look. At this time, Mei Changyuan was afraid that Xu San's eyes were poisonous, so he deliberately blocked Xu San's gaze and started to talk to him about family affairs.
The lobby arrived quickly. Mei Changyuan and Han Baihang walked in and met with Xu Wangtang. Xu San also went down to prepare tea.
Xu Wangtang glanced at Han Baihang, but didn't notice it for a while. He thought Mei Changyuan had changed his followers, so he didn't ask any more questions.
Seeing that there were outsiders, Xu Wangtang didn't dare to speak directly. Instead, he glanced at Han Baihang and asked Mei Changyuan.
Mei Changyuan smiled and said: "Master Xu, don't be nervous, we are all one of our own. If you have anything to say, say it openly. There is no need to hide it!"
After Mei Changyuan said this, Xu Wangtang felt relieved and said with a smile on his face: "Brother Mei, you came to me in such a hurry. Have you found any clues about that person?"
Mei Changyuan glanced at Han Baihang involuntarily, then immediately looked back and said with a smile: "I will tell you the whereabouts of that person..."
Before he finished speaking, Xu San suddenly barged in, without any tea in his hand, and walked straight to Xu Wangtang and whispered a few words in his ear.
Xu Wangtang's expression changed, he stood up and said to Mei Changyuan: "Brother Mei, I'm really sorry. My daughter-in-law can't stand the humiliation and wants to commit suicide. I have to go there now!"
