Wang Gui was not a person who was good at words, and he was in a hurry at this time, and he didn't know what to say, he only knew that he could never leave his son in the hands of the Wang brothers, so he only kowtowed like a chicken pecking rice, and said continuously: "The eldest young master, the second young master, this is not good, this is not good."

Wang Kefu pulled Wang Gui up and said, "Wang Gui, you are honest, do you really help our brother." ”

Wang Gui hurriedly nodded and said, "Of course, of course, the villain is really helping the eldest young master and the second young master." ”

I know that you are worried that your son will be hurt at our hands, but if you are sincere in helping our brother, how can we hurt your son? When he said the last sentence, his tone became stern.

But Wang Gui was dumbfounded, and he couldn't say a word, because if he admitted that he really wanted to help Wang Kexing and Wang Kefu do things, then he really didn't have to worry about leaving his son in the hands of the Wang brothers, but if he didn't admit that he really wanted to help Wang Kexing and Wang Kefu do things, I am afraid that he would lose his head now, what about this? Wang Gui had no idea for a while.

Wang Kefu saw that he froze Wang Gui with his words, patted him on the shoulder again, and said: "Okay, it's decided, you have not been out for a short time, buy things early, go back to the village, go back late, I'm afraid it will make overseas Chinese suspicious, as long as you do a good job for our brothers, the benefits of your father and son will be indispensable in the future." As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and took out a piece of ten taels of silver in his arms, stuffed it into Wang Gui's hand, and said, "You can use these ten taels of silver first, if you find out any news, we will have a heavy reward." ”

Having said this, Wang Gui also knows that it is irretrievable, it seems that today the Wang brothers said that they want to detain their sons and daughters as hostages, otherwise they can't even go back, and there is no other way to think about it, so they can only leave their children behind, and then think of a way after they go back, so Wang Gui had to nod and said: "Okay, but the eldest young master, the second young master, the children are not sensible, if there is anything offensive, please bear a little more." ”

Wang Kefu said: "You can rest assured, how can we have a problem with a little child? After you go back, you will tell the people in the village that you should leave your son in a friend's shop in Jiaozhou City as an apprentice, and don't let others be suspicious, understand?"

Wang Gui nodded, it was the only way, and he told his son a few words, so that his son could listen to the words of the Wang brothers honestly, don't annoy them, and come to pick him up in a few days. Later, the Wang brothers agreed with Wang Gui that the Wang brothers would usually send people to Wangjiazhai Village to find Wang Gui in the name of collecting accounts, and made an appointment with the signal of the joint; if Wang Gui went into the city to shop, the two sides would still meet in this alley; at the same time, they also told Wang Gui that they should pay attention to the information and so on. Wang Gui also agreed one by one.

After finishing speaking, the brothers of the Wang family took Wang Gui's son and daughter, entered through the small door that he came out just now, and closed the door with a "bang!" And Wang Gui was stunned for a while, so he had to ask Wang Ji and Wang Ze to push another wheelbarrow and go to the butcher shop to sell meat.

And after the Wang brothers and his party entered the house, Wang Kefu immediately asked someone to take Wang Qing down and lock him up, and get him something to eat, don't embarrass him, after all, Wang Qing will be used to coerce Wang Gui. It turned out that this room was Wang Kefu's residence in Jiaozhou City.

After Wang Kexing and Wang Kefu fled from Jiaozhou City, they first rushed to Gaomi County to find their sister Wang Yinfeng, and hoped to get help from their brother-in-law's family.

As soon as the brother-in-law heard that Wangjiazhai was destroyed and that it was done by overseas Chinese, he changed his face on the spot, flicked his sleeve and said that he had something to do and left, and he didn't meet them the next day, nor did he arrange for his subordinates to wait for the living and eating of the Wang brothers.

It turns out that Wang Yinfeng's husband's family name is Li, and his father-in-law is called Li Wanqing, who is the classic history of Gaomi County, responsible for the arrest and prison affairs of a county, and their family belongs to the history of generations, and it has been passed on to Li Wanqing's generation is the fifth generation, because it is a family technology, so the successive magistrates are very dependent on their family, otherwise they will not even be able to catch a prisoner, and Li Wanqing is also cultivating his son Li Chengliang, that is, Wang Yinfeng's husband, and plans to let his son take over his class in another three or five years.

Although it is outside the nine grades, it also belongs to the official establishment of the imperial court, which is one level higher than the ordinary officials, so it is very concerned about the official documents of the imperial court, and naturally knows that the yamen of the governor of Shandong has been ordered to go to various places, and it is not allowed to conflict with overseas Chinese. And I also know what the origin of overseas Chinese is, and I know that this is not a huge force that a person like himself can afford to provoke.

And the marriage of the Wang and Li families was originally a combination of interests, because as a local grassroots official, it is natural to have a good relationship with the local powerful households, not to mention a strong and powerful family like the Wang family, but now the Wang family has been exterminated by the overseas Chinese who have been strictly ordered by the governor Yamen not to be provoked, and the Li family certainly does not dare to wade into this muddy water at this time, so as not to get into trouble.

Wang Kexing and Wang Kefu are also very shrewd people, and when they saw this scene, they understood seven or eight points, so they also felt that it was not much fun to stay in the Li family any longer, so they said goodbye to their sister Wang Yinfeng. Wang Yinfeng thought of family affection, although he couldn't help much, but he took out the private money he had saved 100 taels of silver and some jewelry, and handed them to the Wang brothers, so that they could take them to activities to avenge the family.

The Wang brothers were using the money, so they took the money from their sister-in-law and left the Li family. Now the government can't count on it, and the Li family has also dissociated itself from themselves, so the Wang brothers only have one last place left, which is to go to Wang Kexing's brother-in-law, the Shandong giant bandit Hei Fenghu.

Heifeng Hu's real name is Zheng Yihu, his father Zheng Lun and Wang Zhanyuan were originally brothers, and when the two were young, they partnered together to pull dozens of people to rob homes and houses, and did business without capital, and a few years later developed to more than 100 people. Later, Wang Zhanyuan saved a sum of money and wanted to launder his name, so he took more than 20 brothers to Wangjiazhai to become a landowner, while Zheng Lun continued to do underworld business.

However, the two have never broken off contact, firstly, the two have lived and died together after all, and this relationship is much more iron-clad than ordinary people; secondly, the two also need to help each other, Zheng Lun's looted property must have a dirty channel, and there must also be a source of food and weapons, and Wang Zhanyuan also needs someone to help him do some shady things.

As a result, the two of them mutually benefited each other, learned from each other's strengths, and their respective careers have developed greatly, Wang Zhanyuan gained a firm foothold in Wangjiazhai, and after Zheng Lun annexed several small bandits, the power became bigger and bigger, and established a cottage in Wulian Mountain, Qingzhou Prefecture, and the relationship between the two became closer, so they formed a family of sons and daughters, and Wang Kexing married Zheng Lun's daughter Zheng Cuiping.

After Zheng Lun's death, his son Zheng Yihu succeeded him, and at this time there were 7 or 800 people in the cottage, of which more than 500 people could fight and kill, and because of the support of the Wang family, there were more than 60 horses and more than 80 single-shot rifles, and even two small cannons. In the area around Luzhong, it is quite a famous bandit cottage, and several small bandits in the vicinity have to pay tribute to his cottage, even the magistrates dare not provoke them easily, and the government even offered a reward of 500 taels of silver to capture Zheng Yihu.

The Wang brothers came to Zheng Yihu's cottage and cried to Zheng Yihu about what happened to them. After Zheng Yihu heard this, he couldn't help but be furious, just like the Wang brothers said on the spot that he would definitely help them avenge and recapture Wangjiazhai.

On the one hand, the friendship between the Wang and Zheng families is indeed different, and Zheng Yihu's sister Zheng Cuiping has been captured by overseas Chinese, and it is said that she was captured in Qingdao, which is a close relative, and on the other hand, the destruction of Wangjiazhai also cut off Zheng Yihu's cottage from backup. If the bandits want to become a climate, they must have channels to sell dirt and buy weapons and food, because for bandits, the real gold and silver they have grabbed are not as useful as the food and weapons they have grabbed, so it is necessary to exchange the real gold, silver or other valuables they have grabbed for food and weapons, and it can be said that without the support of Wangjiazhai, it is impossible for the Zheng family to develop to the current scale, which is the most fatal blow.

Of course, Zheng Yihu was born as a bandit after all, he was simple-minded, and his vision was not broad, and he thought very simply, since Wangjiazhai was destroyed and his own support was cut off, then he took his own people to take Wangjiazhai back and handed it over to the Wang brothers to take care of again, so that his own support would be restored? As for who the overseas Chinese who destroyed Wangjiazhai were sacred, although Zheng Yihu had heard some rumors, he didn't know much. I can only ask the Wang brothers.

In fact, the Wang brothers know very well in their hearts that it is impossible to compete with overseas Chinese only by relying on the strength of Zheng Yihu's cottage, and even if they can recapture Wangjiazhai with great difficulty, they will definitely not be able to hold it. As soon as the army of overseas Chinese arrived, they still had to flee.

It's just that the Wang brothers are not willing to let their family's foundation be taken up by overseas Chinese like this, but they just plan to use the power of Zheng Yihu to wash Wangjiazhai in blood, it is best to kill a few overseas Chinese, let out a bad breath, and then take out a few hidden belongings in the village, and then set a fire to burn the village, anyway, they can't get it and can't let the overseas Chinese go, and then use the property to find another way out, trying to make a comeback and revitalize the family. Therefore, the two of them did not tell Zheng Yihu about the strong strength of overseas Chinese, only that they still had cronies in Wangjiazhai, and as long as they contacted each other, they could recapture Wangjiazhai in one fell swoop.
