Yunxi Ferry, in the cabin, Zhang Qi excitedly said to Manna: "As early as when your father asked me to lurk, I was looking forward to this day!" Manna looked at Zhang Qi, smiled, and said: "According to the information provided by our internal line, the Jiangnan Column of the New Fourth Army, which is active in the surrounding areas of Shanghai, has obtained a large number of guns and ammunition, and is starting to integrate the nearby water bandit armies. ”

Zhang Qi listened, smiled slightly, and said: "I came out this time to purchase medicines for the Jiangnan Column, as long as Miss Manna cooperates, I dare to guarantee that this group of bandits will definitely be on your side." ”

Manna listened, nodded with satisfaction, and said with a smile: "If you need anything, just ask." Zhang Qi left with a smile.

Chengyang Lake, the temporary residence of the bandits, the political commissar came over with the instructor, including five revolutionary soldiers, the instructor smiled at the bandits, and said: "Our policy, you have given it very clearly, first of all, I am very grateful to the comrades who remained, willing to fight with us to resist Japan, fight devils, you are all heroes, the national disaster is at the head, the husband is responsible, you can do this, I am really grateful." ”

"Secondly, for the comrades who are unwilling to accept our discipline and choose to leave, we will all express our appreciation for your courage, you can pick up the gun and deal with the devil, it is good, of course, what I promise you, we will definitely do it, come here, pull the box over!"

Four revolutionary fighters carried two large boxes of banknotes, walked over, opened the boxes in front of everyone, took out small money boxes, and said to the bandits: "Now I will send you the resettlement fee, but one person is only allowed to receive it once, because the fish and dragons are mixed, to avoid someone pretending to be a leader, we will divide it into four areas according to the roster, and receive the money by name, remember, don't try to fish in troubled waters, we are not vegetarians." ”

A quarter of an hour later, everyone was satisfied with the placement fee, and they were also very grateful to the instructor, and said with a smile: "Instructor, thank you for the placement fee, it is the life-saving benefactor of our group of people, if you can survive, no one will be a water bandit with their heads, after all, the reputation is not good, isn't it?" ”

The instructor smiled and said: "We all understand your thoughts, our nation has suffered too much, so in order for everyone to live a good life in the future, we must fight devils vigorously." It's not too early now, and it's not safe for you to go out, tomorrow, I will contact the headquarters and send someone to send you back safely, how do you feel? ”

When the bandits heard this, they were even more excited, but in the crowd, there was a person who looked at them with a sneer, thinking in his heart: I am worried that I can't find an excuse to leave these bandits, and you have already left them behind, and even God is on our side.

After nightfall, Zhang Qi pretended to express condolences, came to the door of a water bandit, knocked on the door, the water bandit was packing up his things, ready to go home, while cleaning up, he said with a smile: "Who? The door is unlocked, come in! ”

Zhang Qi looked around, there was no one, walked in, and said to him cautiously: "Comrade, are you homesick?" The sailor smiled and said, "Yes, it's been two years since I came out, and it's great to be able to go home!" Zhang Qi said with a smile: "That's really congratulations, by the way, have you got the placement fee we issued?" The bandit smiled and said, "I got it, with these, life will always be better." ”

Zhang Qi pretended to take out one, looked at it, and said angrily: "Comrade Bandit, are you sure that this is the resettlement fee we gave you?" How so? Did you drop your bag and joke with me! The bandit picked it up and took a closer look, and sure enough, he found a problem, and said loudly: "You are not honest and deceive us, I want to find your instructor to theorize!" "I'm about to go out, looking at the hot temper of this water bandit, Zhang Qi knows that he has found the right person.

smiled and said to him: "Don't worry, we won't deceive you, did it happen that it was wrong?" It's also possible, so don't make a noise about it first, ask other people about it, and then make a decision. If it's a counterfeit, don't be impulsive, we'll give you an explanation. ”

This person went to the room of several other people, told them about his situation, several people carefully checked, and found that all of them were counterfeit banknotes, some people couldn't bear it, and planned to go to the instructor to theorize, but one person did sneer and shook his head, and said to them: "At the beginning, I told you, don't trust them easily, you don't listen to my advice, you have been wrong, do you want to be wrong again and again?" ”

Several people took a depressed puff of cigarettes and said angrily: "Then what do you say?" This man threw away the cigarette, stepped on it with his foot, and said angrily: "Since they are unkind, don't blame us for being unjust, they deceived us, fortunately we are still together, otherwise we will really be separated, then everything is over, these resettlement fees are our life-saving money, they make us unable to live, we will fight with them!" ”

"I believe that the New Fourth Army has taken a fancy to us, and the Japanese may also have taken a fancy to us, or the people in the military command may also notice our situation, so even if we kill them all this time, the New Fourth Army will only send a new political commissar of the instructor to guide the integration work in order to win us over, so I think we should make some trouble and let everyone know that the methods of our group of bandits are to ask for money on the spot and let them come to the door and negotiate with us again."

"After all, we are an armed force, they don't need us, some people are willing to accept us, so my suggestion is to riot directly, so that some brothers will be attracted to join us, only when our strength is great enough for them to pay attention to, we will be received and respected by us, in order to gain the initiative in the next negotiation."

The others were silent when they heard it, because they all had homesickness, and now all hope has been lost, this day for many people, it seems to be a good dream, after waking up from the dream, everything turned into foam, and then raised their heads, and looked at the leader in unison, a person broke the silence, and said: "Leader, our group of water bandits, have always been mixed with you, we all listen to you, you make a decision!" ”

The leader of the bandits slapped the table excitedly, and said fiercely: "It's not that we refuse to cooperate, it's that you are the first to break your promise, okay, all the guys will be copied in a while, our purpose is only the five people from the New Fourth Army, don't hurt the lives of other people." Remember, we are only dissatisfied with the counterfeit banknotes, not with the New Fourth Army, otherwise our lives would have to be explained here. ”

The riot started that night, and the five revolutionary fighters were still in the room discussing the next plan of action, but before all the actions could be put into practice, they all fell in a pool of blood.
