Chapter 3: The Storm (Part I)

Chapter 3 (Part I)

With the help of Yu Laosi's "enthusiasm", Zhang Songling spent three days selling the groceries he carried, as well as the blue and white mules that pulled the groceries, at a more suitable price. Then it took another two full days to purchase a batch of goods that needed to be carried on the return trip from a few "friends" recommended by Yu Laosi. Although in the process of one in and one out, Yu Laosi took away a lot of oil. But through the mouth of this local snake, he also felt the general situation of the Black Stone Village clearly.

At present, Heishizhai is nominally under the jurisdiction of the puppet Mongolian Autonomous Coalition Government, and at the same time is under the "care" of the Japanese Kwantung Army. The puppet Mongolian autonomous coalition government did not know where to find a guy named Zhu Chengbi to come over and serve as the county magistrate, while the Japanese Kwantung Army sent an old devil surnamed Fujita to act as an adviser to give advice on daily military and political affairs. (Note 1)

There is also a emperor on his head, and Zhu Chengbi, the county magistrate, is naturally very tasteless. And he was reluctant to make a loss-making deal and go away, so he had to spend most of his energy on the woman's belly. From the brothels in the city to the debauched widow's house dozens of miles away, as long as he can find a woman, he does not pick and choose. A while ago, he even had the audacity to sneak into the bed of the widow of the county lord of the former banner of Wuqiyet, and was dragged out of the bed by the owner of the former banner of Wuqiyet, Baolige, the prince of Zhenguo, from the bed, tied to the big willow tree with a rope, and whipped it with a leather whip soaked in cold water. Thanks to the old devil Fujita who led half a squadron of devil soldiers and a squadron of puppet soldiers to "intercede", he barely escaped. I was not whipped to death by the house slave of Zhenguo Gong!

As the saying goes, if you don't beat each other, after being whipped, County Magistrate Zhu not only did not have a grudge against Zhenguo Gong Bao Lige, but became a good friend who talked about everything. Recently, several newly opened up reclamation points by the little devils, after the mediation of County Magistrate Zhu, were all built on the territory of Wuqi Yete Qianqi. And Zhenguo Gong Baolig also bought more than 100 brand-new rifles and several crooked light machine guns from the Japanese devils at a very low price through the help of County Magistrate Zhu, and his strength increased by leaps and bounds in an instant. Not only did they throw the rear flag and the right flag far away, but even compared with the original strongest Wuqi Yete left banner, they were unwilling to be on the right again.

As an addition to the friendship between the county magistrate and the town prince, Zhu Chengbi went to visit Baolige's sister Su Rina again, so naturally there was no need to be sneaky. Every time, I hugged each other and left satisfied. After a long period of love, he actually put the marriage on the agenda. As long as you wait until the anniversary of the ex-husband of His Royal Highness the county lord is burned, you can invite a matchmaker to come and hire him.

"Shameless!" Zhang Songling patted the saddle and scolded in a low voice.

"Hey, this kind of thing, in your mouth, it is estimated that there will be many people who are not used to it, in our place, as long as you are willing to do so, it is nothing!" Yu Laosi and Zhang Songling were already quite familiar with each other, and retorted with a smile, "This place is cold, men live hard, and they die early." If all the women widow their husbands as you say, it won't be long before there will be no one left in the city or outside the city! (Note 2)

"I mean, what kind of country?!" Zhang Songling couldn't accept the other party's statement for a while, but he didn't have the strength to refute it, shook his head, and deliberately diverted the topic, "Obviously, I deliberately pushed my sister into the arms of the surnamed Zhu, so that I could catch up with Xiao and the Japanese." But he still pretended to have suffered a lot of grievances, as if he was the only smart person in the world! ”

"That's right." Yu Laosi smiled and nodded, "When did our Master Zhu go out of the city without the escort of the Four King Kongs?!" Why did you become an old brother when you went to the county lord's house in Surina?! I'm afraid that the idea of that day was to let Zhen Guogong come over to arrest the traitor. Anyway, with the Japanese backing him, Zhen Guogong didn't dare to really beat him to death. ”

"That's it, that's it! Zhang Shaodong is indeed reasonable! That old guy from Zhenguo Gong simply used his sister as a purse! Another local vendor, who had just finished delivering the goods, smiled. The goods sold to Zhang Songling are at least 20% more expensive than those sold to other vendors who come from their mouths. Although he had to be pumped some water by Yu Laosi, he still made a small profit. Therefore, I don't care about saying a few sycophants to please the young man.

However, this effort has not received the attention it deserves. Zhang Songling's brows furrowed slightly, and he chased after Yu Laosi's words and asked, "Four King Kongs, do you mean that there are still four bodyguards around County Magistrate Zhu?" ”

"There are only four!" Yu Laosi shook his head disdainfully, "Our Lord Zhu, who has collected all the taxes in five years, aren't you afraid that someone will worry about him?!" Usually either you don't go out, you have to go out, at least a dozen retinues. The Four King Kongs are just the most intimate with him! ”

"I heard that the county magistrate hired him with a lot of money. Everyone can shoot a gun with both hands, and every shot will be missed! The local traders were not discouraged at all, and continued to solve Zhang Songling's doubts on the side. Some time ago, Zhou Heizi's subordinates wanted to tie up the county magistrate's ticket, but before they could get closer, they were beaten into a hornet's nest by the four King Kongs with box cannons. That's a ruthless one, don't you see, the blood flows down the ditch on the side of the road for a little half a mile! ”

Bodyguards, guards, box cannons! Zhang Songling gently tapped the table with his fingers. It seems that Zhu Chengbi was frightened by the Niangziguan guerrillas, and even if he ran thousands of miles away, he easily did not dare to relax his vigilance. In this way, it may be a little difficult to shoot his cold gun unknowingly. However, it is not necessarily that there is no chance, and the effective range of the box gun is far less than that of the 38 Gaier. According to Yu Laosi and others, Zhu Chengbi has been fighting with some Mongolian county lord recently......

Ambush him on his way to the county lord's house! Synthesizing all the information he had obtained in the past few days, Zhang Songling quickly came up with a specific plan of action. But the terrain outside the city is so empty, where is the most suitable place for an ambush? I'm afraid that he won't be able to get relevant information from the mouths of Yu Laosi and others, so he must go to the field in person.

"Alas! I'm about to go back to my mouth, and I don't know if there's anything worth seeing around here? Frowning slightly, Zhang Songling made a very dissatisfied appearance and said to himself.

"It's better not to go alone!" Yu Laosi and another trader dissuaded in unison, "It's not safe outside the city, Zhang Shaodong looks rich and noble, in case he is targeted by bandits......"

"I'm just walking near the walls, and I won't go far!" Zhang Songling waved his hand and interrupted with a nonchalant face. "Fourth brother, if there is any interesting place nearby, please tell me about it. Otherwise, wouldn't I have made a trip here in vain, and I wouldn't even have anything to talk about when I went back! ”

"This-" Yu Laosi grimaced, searching his stomach, and couldn't think of any nearby scenery or scenic spots that were too worthy of boasting. The other merchant was anxious to hear this, and couldn't help but speak again, "Interesting place?! The circle of large stones under the base of the city wall is all black, and within a radius of thousands of miles, you are guaranteed to find a second place so strange! ”

"Well, there's also the megalithic circle in the west of the city!" After being reminded by his peers, Yu Laosi also remembered, raised his head, and added loudly, "It's two and a half miles west of the city, and you can see it as soon as you leave the city gate." Dozens of large stones, piled up in a huge circle. It's like a barn, and I don't know what kind of animals it's used for. ”

"I'm afraid it's about youkai! Each stone weighs tens of thousands of pounds! I really don't know which way the immortals can pile it up?! ”
