Chapter 44: Taihu Lake Bandits (3)
In a flash of the knife, the person who opened the door had already fallen to the ground. The two team members quickly entered the porter and heard several muffled noises and the sound of things falling to the ground.
Sun Minghui escorted the bandit leader to a four-room house in the middle, which was Xu Changfu's bedroom. Two suitcases were placed in front of the door, and the two team members were hidden on either side of the door.
The bandit leader shouted: "Master, I'm back, the matter is done, bring the things back for you to see." ”
After a while, the lights were lit, and an old man opened the door with a cane, and was hidden by the door, and the team members covered their mouths and took it down.
In just ten minutes, dozens of prime-aged people in the Xu family's compound were all solved by the daggers of the team members, and the female dependents were tied up in the kitchen.
Sun Minghui led the team to raid the house, and Song Zhipeng forced Xu Changfu to ask where the secret room was at home. Although Xu Changfu is a handful of years old, his bones are quite hard, and he knows that handing over the secret room will not have a good result.
For the water bandit company, it is clearly stipulated that all means can be taken against the reckless raid of the house, regardless of the life of the family. Song Zhipeng took out Xu Changfu's favorite little wife and opened the placket with a dagger.
"Xu Changfu, you said that you can spare their lives, and if you don't say it, you will cheapen the brothers. We are for money, not for murder. Song Zhipeng, who was wearing a mask, viciously slashed the dagger around his little wife's stomach.
"Uncle, you spare my life, the master will say it, the secret room is under the bed." Xu Changfu's little wife broke down, and when she saw the team members dragging a corpse to the rockery in the yard.
Opening the secret room, Sun Minghui's eyes were lit up, there were everything in gold and silver, calligraphy and paintings, antiques, firearms, cigarettes, and pounds. After the ladies were locked, the two trucks drove up to the gate and began to load their belongings.
Xu Changfu cried loudly, and Song Zhipeng gagged his mouth with a towel: "Damn, you also know how many lives you are carrying today, and killing your whole family three times is not enough compensation." ”
After scattering the evidence of Xu Changfu as a water bandit in the courtyard, Sun Minghui dipped his hand in human blood and wrote on the gate: Xu Changfu did a lot of evil, robbed money and killed my brother, and paid the blood debt.
Three team members and Sun Minghui escorted Xu Changfu and the bandit back to Haimen, and six team members led by Song Zhipeng drove the two sailboats to Miaogang to hide.
Sun Minghui and his entourage rushed to Jiading Wharf before dawn, and two trucks of property were moved to the company's passenger ship under Dai Jitao's arrangement, and left Jiading at five o'clock to drive to Yongan Town.
Hu Wenkai sighed: "A Taihu Lake water bandit, without showing the mountains and water, actually scraped millions of family property, not including calligraphy, paintings and antiques. Sun Minghui, you have a great responsibility, there are at least dozens of big households like this on the shore of Taihu Lake, give me a search for each household, and destroy it one by one. Telegraphed to Wang Changrong that Xu Changfu had conclusive evidence of gangsters, and gave me the funds from selling his real estate and land to build roads. ”
Hu Wenkai, the interrogation room of the Dragon King Temple, personally sat in the interrogation of Xu Changfu and the bandit leader, and the strong light was shining and the interrogation was fatigued. Xu Changfu was pitiful, and even confessed that he peeked at the eldest girl taking a bath when he was a child. The situation of the bandits on the shores of Taihu Lake is roughly clear, and there are more than a dozen bandits in Jiangsu and more than 20 in Zhejiang.
Wu Changfu's water bandit base is on Shaoshan Island in the middle of Taihu Lake, and there are more than a dozen people and three boats left behind. Sun Minghui begged that without further ado, let him take people on the company's armed sailing ship to take Shaoshan Island as a base.
That night, 50 members of the special forces took an armed aircraft and sailboat to escort the bandit leader to join Song Zhipeng in Miaogang. The sailboat was towed by a small steamer to Jiading and then reached Miaogang through the water network on its own.
The leader of the bandits explained that there were at least four bandits stationed on Shaoshan Island for a long time, and their business was also safe. Their family has the smallest number of people, and they occupy a small area, occupying only the northeast corner of the island.
The three boats sailed out of the temple harbor in the morning, and along the way the ships met them and hid far away. The ship's cable was thrown ashore, and the bandit leader stood at the bow of the boat and shouted loudly: "Damn, it's good that Lao Tzu has a big life, otherwise I would have seen the king of Hades." ”
"Boss, we thought you were gone, and my brothers were going to take refuge with others."
"Damn, who said Lao Tzu is gone? Lao Tzu found a big backer, and you called the brothers over. The bandit leader stood next to Sun Minghui and said hard.
Easily recruited more than a dozen water bandits, and at night gunfire erupted, Sun Minghui set up French 75mm guns as fire support. Several water bandits saw this posture and surrendered after a while.
A water bandit is not far from Suzhou Kanshang big household, Song Zhipeng tried his best to persuade Sun Minghui to directly ransack Kanshang Village at night: "Captain, I'm afraid that it will not be easy to attack after the night is long and the news is revealed." ”
"How do you say you fight?" Sun Minghui was tempted by Xu Changfu's property last time.
"The captain's place is remote, we directly bombarded the gate with 75 cannons, and there will be no reaction when we finish sacking Suzhou."
"The 75 cannon is too heavy, how can you push it over?"
Song Zhipeng said: "Aren't there a few donkeys on the island, but donkeys are used to pull cannons. ”
Sun Minghui made a decision to ransack the big households in Kanshang Village overnight, and asked Song Zhipeng to immediately interrogate the Kanshang bandits to find out the details.
Some people were left behind outside Shaoshan Island, and all of them boarded the boat and rushed to the kanshang. Three donkeys towed 75 cannons, and the captured bandits carried the shell boxes under the pressure of the special agents. Two miles after the ship docked, he saw a lonely mansion, and after leading the donkey to the woods in the distance and tying the reins, Song Zhipeng shook the gun handle and aimed at the gate.
There was a bang of fire at the gate and it collapsed, and the four shells went straight through the ruins of the gate into the courtyard of the mansion, and there was a lot of shouting inside.
"Song Zhipeng, you blow up the wall for me." Sun Minghui shouted loudly.
The muzzle of the gun turned, and a shell hit the wall directly, and the wall collapsed in response. Sun Minghui raised his pistol and shouted, "Brothers, just leave a few alive." ”
The trio rushed to the courtyard of the mansion, and the people inside were bombed by the cannonballs, and the six gods and masters had seen this posture. Song Zhipeng raised the muzzle of the cannon and fired another shell, and the shell drew an arc in the air and landed in the courtyard of the mansion.
"Haha, this is called artillery step coordination." Song Zhipeng shouted excitedly.
The team rushed in and did not resist at all, waving the guns in their hands and advancing in groups of three. When encountering an unknown place, he threw it *, and finally the head of the household was pulled out under the bed. The next step was to collect the property, and each person was loaded with a sack and carried it to the ship, and three donkeys were brought to carry the sacks.
When it was almost dawn, Sun Minghui ordered not to leave any alive, and only took the head of the household to send it to the Dragon King Temple for interrogation, although the team members were a little unbearable but still carried out the order. Sun Minghui set fire to the mansion and left with the howling and crying head of the household, standing on the boat and seeing a skyrocketing fire burning behind him.
"You don't want women to think of it, when they kill people and rob money on Taihu Lake, they should think that today, which of them has no life in their hands?" Song Zhipeng said for Sun Minghui.
Some team members whispered: "There is no need to kill those women." ”
"For the sake of the secrecy of our whereabouts, we can't keep them alive, don't these women know? They are feasting on the looted riches. Sun Minghui replied unhappily.
"Telegraph Governor Wang to arrange a vehicle to pick up the goods by Fenhu Lake tomorrow night."
The water bandits on Shaoshan Island lined up to accept Sun Minghui's adaptation, and a new face of water bandits appeared on the surface of Taihu Lake, often eating black. From time to time, they disguise themselves as merchant ships on the lake to seduce water bandits and rob them, and small groups of water bandits are easy to be hit.
Song Zhipeng took a few team members to Zhejiang to investigate the situation of the big households that they had mastered. Sun Minghui wants to wait for the limelight to pass a little bit, and then engage in two big households in one night. You can't use the cannon like Song Zhipeng's ramming method, it's too conspicuous. Or use team members to climb over the wall to kill people and steal goods.
Yang Siliang couldn't believe it when he looked at the belongings brought back at the training base of the Dragon King Temple. Mountains of gold bars, silver nuggets, gold and silver vessels, banknotes of various countries.
Yang Siliang said: "The boss is too rich." ”
Hu Wenkai pointed to the gold and silver treasures in front of him with a cigarette in his mouth and said: "You don't want to think that these bandits have been killing people and stealing goods in the Taihu Lake basin since the end of the Qing Dynasty. ”
"What to do with so much money? Exceptional"
"Yang Siliang, don't make up your mind, half of this money is used as working capital in the company, and half is used for infrastructure construction in the three counties. Build a vault in Tianxing Town to store gold, and silver will be cashed out and circulated as soon as possible. All the money obtained in the next step will be used for the purchase of refinery equipment. ”
"Boss, no wonder so many people want to fall into the grass, and the money is too easy."
Hu Wenkai picked up a gold bar and said: "If the local government does not give its strength, how could Taihu Lake become like this if it were not under the jurisdiction of two provinces, my main purpose is not to want to smooth the flow of people through trade routes." ”
"Let's go to the conference room, I'm going to send another sixty special agents with two guns, and in half a month, I will set foot on twenty big households to raise enough money for the refinery."
"As long as the boss can get money, I will fully support it, and I have already let the small motorboat be transported to Yongan Town." Yang Siliang rubbed his hands and said excitedly.
Three days later, in the evening, Sun Minghui drove a motorboat with seven or eight sailboats in the direction of Yixing. Zhou Guanghui, a big household in Guandu Town, is the biggest water bandit on Taihu Lake, Zhuangzi covers an area of more than ten acres, there is a ditch outside, and the wall inside is seven or eight meters high, and it is estimated that it cannot be opened with 75 cannons. Here, Sun Minghui personally led the team, and the other two large households were a team of ten people.
Five or six team members carried six or seven meters long logs on the ditch and then passed through the ditch. Spread out under the corners of the wall, and in a moment assemble a long pole eight meters long. The iron grappling hook wrapped in the cloth was sent to the wall and firmly buckled, and a team member grabbed the rope and climbed up, and after a while, five people had already climbed the wall.
Sun Minghui waved his hand to let the next group of team members follow, and fixed the iron grappling hook in another place, and a group of team members went up. How could Zhou Guanghui's nursing home be compared with the specially trained special service members, and after a while, the bright light of a red cloth flashlight flashed on the kung fu wall. The drawbridge was lowered silently, and the gate of Zhuangzi was opened from the inside.
Sun Minghui whispered: "The four snipers are scattered around, and no one is allowed to run away, and the rest will follow me in." ”
