Chapter 31: The Lion Opens His Mouth
Xu Guoren appeased Guo Papi, turned around and returned with a smile, and several landlords from the county couldn't wait to greet him. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Among them was Li Mingzhi's father, who was the first to speak with a stammering face: "Xu Yingying, how are you thinking about it?" We, the people of Pingyang County, are looking forward to your security team. ”
Xu Guoren already had a plan in his heart, so he pondered for a moment before he said: "Uncles, my original intention of forming this security team was to protect the territory and the people, so I am also very willing to accept your invitation to go to the county seat to garrison." ”
When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but frown, only to see Xu Guoren pause, and continued: "It's just that my security team owed a lot of foreign debts at the beginning of its formation, and the brothers are all from a radius of ten miles and eight towns. ”
Xu Guoren said sincerely, and his face was embarrassed like an angry little daughter-in-law.
Li Mingzhi's father couldn't wait to blurt out: "I don't know how much money you owe, Captain Xu?" As long as you are willing to lead your troops to Binh Duong, we will be able to get you the money. ”
Xu Guoren sold it and asked, "Really?" ”
Li Mingzhi's father nodded hurriedly, pulled down a few other people, and motioned for them to express their position.
Several old guys were afraid of being robbed by the bandits, especially the Green Fox Gang, who did not rob the people, but robbed them famous businessmen and landlords, and some people who did too much evil on weekdays were also cut off by the bandits.
They don't want to experience this danger again.
Therefore, several people, like the landlord surnamed Li, nodded their heads in agreement.
Xu Guoren slowly stretched out five fingers.
Seeing this, Li Mingzhi's father answered: "Five thousand oceans? ”
"This is easy to do, 5,000 yuan, and we will solve it with one thousand per person." The other squire also smiled lightly.
Seeing that several landlords and old fortunes were relaxed, Xu Guoren shook his head, stretched out five fingers again, and said: "It's not five thousand, I buy more guns and ammunition than this." ”
"How much is that?" Li Mingzhi's father asked with a sinking heart.
"It's fifty thousand!" Xu Guoren said amazingly.
"What? Fifty thousand? Including Li Mingzhi's father, several squire landlords changed their faces.
Now they have a word of suffering, and they knew so much, but they didn't say so much just now.
"Can you be less, Captain Xu, you also know that our county has just been plagued by bandits, and those vicious guys have caused us miserable!"
"Yes, how many of our homes have been looted, and we really can't come up with so much money now!"
Xu Guoren turned his face sideways, no longer had the kindness just now, and said coldly: "Since you are not sincere, then please go back!" You all said that the county town has just been plagued by bandits, and if our brothers go, maybe they will have to do it with the bandits, and this errand is a desperate task! ”
After speaking, Xu Guoren pretended to be angry, ordered Guo Hu to send off the guests, and turned around to leave.
Several landlords and old fortunes suddenly became anxious, now that the Central Plains War has broken out, the government can take care of a small Pingyang county seat, they can only ask for protection, and within a radius of 100 miles, the only one with some combat effectiveness, but not the armed bandits, is only Xu Guoren's security team.
Other than that, they have no choice.
Therefore, Li Mingzhi's father and several squires glanced at each other, and after unifying their opinions, they hurriedly called out to Xu Guoren and said: "Captain Xu stays, we promise, we can't make a promise!" ”
Xu Guoren also quickly stopped and turned around, changed his smile and said: "That's right, you can rest assured, as long as our security team is there, we will definitely ensure that Pingyang is safe and sound, and I hereby promise you that it will not be long before I will completely eliminate the bandits in Pingyang and give everyone a safe and stable environment." ”
Several people laughed a little bitterly, 50,000 yuan, for them who have been looted once, it is definitely not a small amount, now they all have to take out the old bottom, but they have no choice, otherwise, another wave of bandits, they may lose their lives at any time, compared to this, it is nothing.
After negotiating the conditions, Xu Guoren immediately ordered the security team to pull out, and before leaving, Xu Guoren left more than ten long and short guns for Guo Papi, after all, Guo Jiabao has a little self-protection power and is not bad.
Xu Guoren took advantage of the gap between the soldiers loading the money and grain into the truck, and ran home to say goodbye to his father and mother.
"Dad, mother, my son is going to Pingyang County, when the arrangements over there are made and the situation stabilizes, I will come back to pick up your second elder to enjoy the happiness of the county!" Xu Guoren explained to them the purpose of going to the county seat.
Although Xu Dafang and Li Xiuqin were reluctant, they still nodded in agreement, and just told Xu Guoren to pay more attention to safety.
Li Xiuqin was even more worried, took Xu Guoren's hand and said: "Guoren, you said that you offended the Japanese in the city last time and almost lost your life, why don't you worry about going again this time?" ”
Xu Guoren patiently comforted: "Mother, don't worry, Pingyang County suffered from bandits last time, and the Japanese devils in the city were killed by those green forest heroes, and there will be no Japanese to trouble me when I go to the county again." Besides, at this time and that time, my son and I have a gun in hand, and if I encounter little Japan again, I will never suffer. ”
Li Xiuqin nodded and said, "That's good, that mother is more relieved." ”
Xu Dafang sat up from the bed and said to Xu Guoren in a serious tone: "Guoren, Dad knows that you are a child with ideas, you want to get ahead, and you want to be a person, but Dad still says that, no matter what time it is, we can't forget our roots, let alone do things that betray our ancestors and make people poke their backbones, do you hear?" ”
Xu Guoren nodded solemnly and said: "Father's teachings, keep them in mind!" ”
Turning around and walking to the threshold of the hall, Xu Guoren looked back at the two elders who were full of reluctance, looking at their faces full of wrinkles and traces of time, as well as the reluctance in their eyes, and the temples that gradually turned white, Xu Guoren suddenly felt a feeling.
turned around, walked to the bed of the second elder, knelt down and solemnly kowtowed three times in a row: "Please forgive the child for not being able to take care of it by your side, my father and mother must take care of my body, and my son must come back as soon as possible to pick you up and go to the county seat to enjoy happiness!" ”
Li Xiuqin was moved to tears, and hurriedly bent down to help Xu Guoren, wiped her tears and said: "With your words, my mother and your father are very happy, you can go with confidence." ”
Xu Guoren nodded solemnly, turned around and stepped out of the house, and left resolutely.
