Chapter 212: Wu Wengui's scheming
Seeing that the other party nodded wordlessly, the corner of Kuroko's mouth smiled and continued:
"Brother Erhu, there is a good saying in this Jianghu. To be an official, kill people and set fire to be recruited! Aren't you right? ”
"What the second master said is true, but we also wanted to vote for the national government before, but they were beaten away."
"National Government...... Hehe, phew! It's all made people become grandsons, and now it's eight sedan chairs to invite us, and we won't go yet!"
As soon as the conversation changed, Heizi stared at Erhu and asked tentatively:
"Erhu, do you know who the person who came to give the gift today is?"
"Forehead...... looks familiar, it seems to be the big butler of Wujiabao......."
Looking down at the other party's feet, Erhu didn't dare to lie because of a moment.
"Hehe...... you're right, it's Sun Fuhai, the chief butler of the Wu family.
Do you know what he's here for? ”
"This little one doesn't know ......."
Gently patting Erhu's shoulder, Kuroko whispered:
"Steward Sun is speaking for Wu Wengui, and Wu Wengui is passing on the words for the Japanese.
The Japanese said that as long as the eldest brother is willing to take people down the mountain to be loyal to the imperial army, he will be appointed as the captain of the county appeasement brigade. ”
"What...... this...... It's true? ”
"That's still fake! The housekeeper said it in front of me and my eldest brother. ”
……
"But, can the eldest brother agree?"
After a moment of silence, hearing Erhu's question, Kuroko was happy in his heart, there was a door!
With a long sigh, Kuroko shook his head slightly.
"Erhu, it is said that the conditions given by the Japanese are really good, but the eldest brother doesn't know what's going on recently, it seems that he has been confused by ghosts, and he has to fight to the death with the Japanese.
Although he accepted a gift from someone else, he did reject Steward Sun's proposal in person, and drove people away, ....... ”
"Ah, that'...... Isn't that a slap in the face of a Japanese person? ”
"Who said no...... this housekeeper told me when he left. Today's county magistrate is Tang De, but he has a blood feud with his eldest brother. If we continue to fight against the Japanese in the future, Tang De will definitely encourage the Japanese to send a large army to exterminate us. When the time comes, we will be the next Flying Tiger Mountain, ah....... ”
"Ah......, this, what can I do?"
Looking at the anxious Erhu, Kuroko snorted coldly.
"Erhu, I'm nothing, I'm nothing, and I'm nothing, big brother, anyway, we're all alone, as the so-called people die and birds are facing the sky, and they won't die for thousands of years. But you're different, you have a family. If you are killed by the Japanese, then your mother-in-law will become a widow, and your son may have to change his surname to someone else...... ”
Hearing this, Erhu's breathing suddenly became heavy, and his face became extremely ugly.
"Second master...... I know you have a lot of ideas, you can show your brother a clear way."
Hearing this, Kuroko slapped his thigh fiercely.
"Good! Since my brother can trust me, then my sunspot will also be free. ”
"Brother Erhu, Master Wu dragged people to leave a message, if the eldest brother is unwilling to go down the mountain to join the imperial army, then I can also take people down the mountain to be the first leader of this appeasement brigade. Well, there's a condition for that. ”
"What are the conditions, please tell the second master clearly."
"Actually, it's a condition, but we just need to show our loyalty with our actions."
"Loyalty? How does this mean? We don't know how to talk about ghosts. ”
Looking at Erhu with a puzzled expression, Kuroko stretched out two fingers.
"I have two options here."
"Second master, you say."
"The first type, the head of the big boss!"
"Ah!...... This, this is not good, absolutely not, the eldest brother has a life-saving grace for us, not to mention that we have drunk blood wine and sworn that I can't do .......
By the way, what about the second one? ”
"Hehe...... the second kind ......, the intelligence of the Eighth Route Army ......."
Hearing this, Erhu immediately stood on the spot.
"II...... Second master, is this a success? It's too ...... for us to do that. That's it. ”
Hehe, Kuroko touched the jade wrench he grabbed from the Wu family in his hand.
"As the saying goes, people don't die for themselves! Besides, Balu instigated the eldest brother to fight devils, why didn't he want us to be cannon fodder and send us to death. Hmph...... hundreds of thousands of national troops can't beat the Japanese, so our 200 or so guns can beat away the devils? ”
"Starting from Lugou Bridge a few years ago, government students shouted every day to go back to the northeast, what was the result? It's not that one defeat after another, half of the country is fucking lost. Hehe...... in my opinion, sooner or later this world will have to be Japanese. Besides, we don't call this a traitor?
What does Nanjing's new Chairman Wang say, this is called saving the country with a curve! ”
Speaking of this, Kuroko's hand inadvertently touched the box cannon on his waist, and then tilted his head to look at the two tigers beside him.
Seeing the movements of the other party's hands, Erhu was clever, and quickly nodded subconsciously and said:
"What the second master said is what he said, what he said was ......."
……
"Brother Erhu, brother, this is for the sake of our brother's future. Although this is a bandit who is happy and happy, we can't be a lifetime, right? ”
"yes...... I don't want to carry this infamous reputation for the rest of my life."
Seeing that the time was almost up, Kuroko looked around, took out a crumpled map from his coat pocket, and carefully put it in Erhu's arms.
"I marked the specific location of the backing village on this, which is where the Eighth Road is stationed, you go back and ride the horse, rush to Wujiabao for me overnight, and hand over this thing to Steward Sun by hand, understand?"
"Second master, this ...... Is that okay? If the eldest brother asks about ....... ”
"Stuff, you're still hesitant to be afraid of a ball at this time. This thing is the bright future of our brothers in the future, do you understand? ”
Looking at the other party's dodgy eyes, Kuroko grabbed the other party's neck.
"The Eighth Route Army has a set of fighting devils, what are you worried about? Let me tell you, if you want to continue to let your wife and children enjoy happiness in the county, you kid will get things done for me, otherwise don't blame me for turning his face and not recognizing people! Do you understand?! ”
Listening to the sound of the other party gritting his teeth, Erhu swallowed a mouthful of saliva fiercely and nodded heavily.
"Second master, rest assured......."
……
Twenty minutes later, a fast horse galloped out of the gate of the cottage and headed straight down the mountain in the afterglow of the setting sun.
……
That night, Wujiabao Village.
After returning to the village before dark, Sun Fuhai met the old man Wu Wengui and told the other party about his trip.
Hearing that Heizi made it clear that he was willing to go down the mountain to vote for the Japanese, Wu Wengui was in a good mood, and even left Steward Sun to drink a few glasses with him.
In the past few days, Wu Wengui has been worried every day. Since the house was broken by the bandits of Wolong Mountain, he not only suffered heavy losses, but also lost little face.
Especially recently, his only daughter actually had a bad omen.
Although Wu Wengui tried his best to conceal it, the fact that his woman was kidnapped by bandits and had a big belly still spread, and it spread throughout the village, and even the county magistrate Tang of the county seat heard about it, and even sent someone to "comfort" him.
Wu Wengui is also a figure with a head and a face within a radius of a hundred miles, and he can stand it all of a sudden. Seeing his daughter vomiting all day long, Wu Wengui's heart was like eating a fly, not to mention how uncomfortable it was.
But no matter what, Yuhuan has always been his beloved daughter, since she has been made bigger, she has to find a way, and she can't blast it out.
From the mouths of the housekeeper and the servant, Wu Wengui also knew the general idea of the day, and he estimated that nine out of ten of the children in his daughter's belly were the second master of Wolong Mountain.
Although he can't wait to eat his flesh raw, Wu Wengui is a character who has experienced great storms after all. After calming down, my mind turned, and I immediately thought of the best way for me.
A few days ago, when Wu Wengui went to the county to do business, he happened to hear two major events. One of them was that the county magistrate Tang was inciting the Japanese to exterminate the bandits in Wolong Mountain, and was even willing to raise some military rations out of his own pocket, which was also said to be the will of the people in the county. The other is that Tang Debao's promotion of his nephew as the commander of the appeasement brigade was denied by the Japanese.
Wu Wengui knew very well that Tang De killed the whole family of Lu Baichuan, the bandit leader of Wolong Mountain, and blinded Lu Baichuan in one eye. Lu Baichuan later became a bandit in a catastrophe, and actually found an opportunity to intercept and kill the Tang family's team.
This Lu Baichuan not only slaughtered Tang De's only son, but also sent the other party's daughter-in-law who did not pass through the door back after ruining it, and Tang De was angry for more than half a month. It has become a big joke after tea and dinner in the county.
Since then, Tang De and the bandit leader Lu Baichuan have become endless rivals.
Through these two incidents, combined with the fact that his daughter was made to have a big belly by the second boss of Wolong Mountain, Wu Wengui actually found the most beneficial place for himself from here - using his daughter and the child in her belly, as well as the high-ranking official Houlu to recruit the bandits in Wolong Mountain!
In fact, Wu Wengui also knew very well in his heart that although Lu Baichuan, the big boss of Wolong Mountain, was also a bandit, he was indeed forced to go to Liangshan, this kind of person is arrogant, and obviously he will not be willing to be a Japanese dog.
Since this is the case, Wu Wengui focused on the second-in-command sunspot.
For people like Heizi, Wu Wengui has seen too much in his life. In their eyes, in addition to being poor, they are more of a desire for women and silver.
To be officials, it is their nature to kill people and set fires to be recruited.
In this case, as long as you explain the conditions and benefits to them, and add the bait of your daughter, you are not afraid that they will not take the bait!
For these old bandits who are lazy and have been poor for eight lifetimes, women with money and status are their favorites. As for the feelings of family and country, the ambition to serve the country, in their eyes, it is not bullshit.
For Kuroko, who is accustomed to having milk and being a mother, he will not have the slightest worry about taking refuge in the Japanese.
…… To be continued, thank you for your support!
