Kazuo Yamaguchi witnessed Zong Tao's appearance in Zhanqi Village and became the leading figure of the Dawang Mountain Volunteer Army, and immediately ordered Miki to collect information about Zong Tao. Soon there was a result, Zong Tao is a Meihe person, his ancestors are from Zong Dayuan, and his family is a local rich gentry.

Kazuo Yamaguchi was overjoyed, and suddenly had a vicious plan in his heart.

Kazuo Yamaguchi urgently summoned Zhou Yongsheng and Luo Youfu.

Zhou Yongsheng had a hard time this time, and the reputation of the maintenance association was not good, and many wealthy businessmen and squires refused to join, so Zhou Yongsheng wore out his mouth, and he was still far from Yamaguchi Kazuo's requirements. Fortunately, Kazuo Yamaguchi was obsessed with Lu Binghua, so he gave a little thin noodles.

Luo Youfu is different, since the last battle of Zhanqizhai, more than 100 deserters have helped him a lot, Luo Youfu not only received a commendation from Kazuo Yamaguchi, but also received a large pension. Luo Youfu pretended to send some of it, and the rest went into his pocket. He invited Liu Qishan and Yang Dacheng into the tavern for a drink and plotted the aftermath.

This time, Zhou Yongsheng and Luo Youfu were summoned, and there were not a few devils in Kazuo Yamaguchi's command, and there was only one Miki in the adjutant.

Kazuo Yamaguchi was in a good mood and asked the two to sit down, which flattered the two.

"Zhou Jun, do you know about Zong Dayuan?" Zhou Yongsheng was inexplicable, why did Kazuo Yamaguchi ask about this? There are countless villages named after the surname of Meihe, and there are also many villages with the same surname, how does he know? He shook his head.

Kazuo Yamaguchi stretched out his little finger and shook it again and again: "Zhou, your county magistrate is not doing a good job, and the maintenance of the association is even more incompetent." Zong Dayuan is very famous, you don't even know! Zhou Yongsheng's face was like blood splashing, and he hurriedly stood up. Kazuo Yamaguchi waved his hand and motioned for him to sit down.

Kazuo Yamaguchi set his sights on Luo Youfu.

"Luo Jun, what do you know about Zong Dayuan?" Luo Youfu stood up suddenly, straightened up and said loudly: "Report to Taijun, there are as many as seven or eight large walls in Meihezong, the farthest is more than a hundred miles away from the county seat, and the nearest is more than ten kilometers. ”

Kazuo Yamaguchi's face just showed a look of disappointment, but Luo Youfu added another sentence.

"Zong Dayuan, where Zong Tao, the leader of the Dawang Mountain Volunteer Army, is located, more than thirty miles away from Meihe City."

"Yo Xi, Luo Jun is very loyal!"

Kazuo Yamaguchi was overjoyed and held out his thumb.

Luo Youfu is used to officialdom and knows what he likes. It was rumored that Kazuo Yamaguchi sent someone to investigate Zong Tao, and Luo Youfu was also interested. He quickly inquired about Zong Tao's ancestral home and remembered it firmly. The previous words were to relieve Zhou Yongsheng.

Of course, Zhou Yongsheng understood what Luo Youfu meant, and glanced at him gratefully.

"You two, immediately lead the way of the Imperial Cooperative Army. Go to Zong Dayuan and invite the old man to participate in the maintenance meeting! ”

Kazuo Yamaguchi's plan to kill two birds with one stone gave Zong Tao and his family a big problem. If the old man Zong can't resist the pressure and participates in the maintenance meeting, he will definitely mess up Zong Tao's proportions, and attack Zhanqi Village in the future, which is also a strange commodity to live in. If the old man Zong refuses to participate in the maintenance meeting, Kazuo Yamaguchi will detain the old man and force Zong Tao to abandon the village and surrender.

Originally, Miki proposed that he and Kazuo Yamaguchi go in person, but Kazuo Yamaguchi decided to salute first and then soldier. If Zhou Yongsheng and Luo Youfu returned in vain, he immediately sent someone to arrest the old man Zong.

Zhou Yongsheng is nothing, it is nothing more than an inducement, success or failure, resigned to fate; Luo Youfu secretly complained. It's a thankless job. If the old man Zong is pulled over, it will be difficult for him to explain in front of Zong Tao, if he can't pull it up, it will be difficult to explain in front of Kazuo Yamaguchi.

But Kazuo Yamaguchi has made up his mind, and he can't shirk it.

Kazuo Yamaguchi took out his pocket watch, looked at it and said with a smile: "You guys go quickly, move quickly, and you can catch the lunch of the Zong family." If the old guy doesn't agree, you can give him some color! ”

Zhou Yongsheng and Luo Youfu both changed color slightly. Zong Tao is the chief figure of Dawang Mountain, if he offends the old man Zong, how can there be good fruits to eat!

The two were distraught and left Kazuo Yamaguchi's headquarters. Zhou Yongsheng approached Luo Youfu and asked in a low voice, "Brother Luo, what should I do now?" ”

Luo Youfu smiled bitterly: "Sent by Taijun, what else can I do?" Let's take a look first. ”

Luo Youfu is not a stupid person, he was knocked smart by the Dawang Mountain Volunteer Army. He asked Liu Qishan to take a regiment of puppet troops and follow behind and drive to Zongdayuan.

This scene was made for Kazuo Yamaguchi. Zong Tao can't be provoked, and Kazuo Yamaguchi doesn't dare to offend. After more than an hour, hundreds of people drove into Zongdayuan.

Zongda Yuan village is not small, surrounded by mountains on three sides, more than 30 households in the wall, there is a high ridge tile house in the middle of the wall, the momentum is magnificent, no need to ask, it must be Zongtao's home.

Luo Youfu glanced at Zhou Yongsheng, and ordered Liu Qishan to divide his troops to surround the entire village, only allowed to enter and not to leave, and asked Liu Qishan to personally supervise the village entrance.

Zhou Yongsheng and Luo Youfu swaggered towards the big tiled house in the middle of the wall. Zhou Yongsheng glanced at Luo Youfu and asked puzzledly: "Brother Luo, why did you make such a big move?" ”

Luo Youfu smiled secretly: "Brother Zhou, the Dawang Mountain Volunteer Army is pervasive, it is too powerful. ”

Zhou Yongsheng said angrily: "Then you can't move the people like this, isn't this pulling me into the water?" ”

Zhou Yongsheng and Luo Youfu are not hardcore traitors, but they are mercenary villains. The villain has a human heart, but he is greedy for life and afraid of death. They want to pedal on both sides of the boat.

Luo Youfu smiled lightly: "Brother Zhou, you don't understand this?" I put hundreds of brothers outside the village, and none of them were allowed to come in, Zong Tao learned the inside story, how could he not know my intentions? ”

Zhou Yongsheng suddenly realized and glanced at Luo Youfu: "Brother Zhou, I didn't expect to see you for a few days, you are much smarter." ”

Luo Youfu pointed to his head and said lightly: "The guy who eats is important." ”

Zhou Yongsheng smiled knowingly. The second ** step into the Zongjia compound.

The gate of the courtyard was wide open, but there was no one in the courtyard. Zhou Yongsheng and Luo Youfu glanced at each other and entered the hall of the sect with a hard head. Sure enough, there were half a room of people in the lobby. An old man in the center was in his fifties, with sword eyebrows, a red face, and neatly dressed, but his face was covered with ice.

This old man is Zong Tao's father, Zong Wenli, the old man of Zong.

Seeing the two of them coming in, the old man Zong neither invited a seat nor poured tea, and snorted coldly.

"What are you two doing here?"

This momentum has the meaning of chasing customers. Zhou Yongsheng's face was hot. It turned out that the old man Zong had several relationships with him, but at that time, Zhou Yongsheng was high and did not remember Zong Wenli.

Luo Youfu took a step forward and said embarrassedly: "Old man Zong, we are Feng Taijun......"

"Full of nonsense! Little Japanese devil, what a bullshit Taijun! ”

Zong Wenli slapped the chair back and was colorful.

Luo Youfu lowered his eyebrows and lowered his eyes in response, took a step back, and didn't dare to speak again.

Zong Wenli looked at the two strangely. Hearing that there were hundreds of puppet soldiers wearing yellow dog skins from his family, Zong Wenli prepared for the worst, he wore the clothes of the pilgrimage to the temple, and prepared to be martyred, but under the reprimand, the two of them lowered their eyebrows.

Zong Wenli was puzzled for a while. Haha laughed: "I can't imagine that Lord Luo, the commander of the majestic Cooperative Army, and Lord Zhou, the famous maintenance president, are so courteous to the old man!" Slippery world! ”

Luo Youfu said carefully: "I can't hide it, I waited for a long time to make the captain of the Gongzi Sect Huwei, and I didn't dare to offend the old man in the slightest." ”

"Ling Gongzi? Which son am I? ”

Zong Wenli's three sons, the eldest is Zong Tao, who has not returned home for several years after joining the army, and there has been no news since last winter, and he does not know whether he is alive or dead; The second son, Zonghai, takes care of the village at home; The old three sects studied in the provincial capital of Chao, and now there is no news.

"Zong Tao, Captain Zong." Zong Wenli was taken aback, stood up suddenly, and asked loudly, "Zong Tao, where is Zong Tao?" What captain? It can't be a traitor, right? If he is the captain of the traitor, the old man will remove the rebel son from the genealogy! Zhou Yongsheng smiled: "The good son raised by the old man of Zong is now the captain of the Dawang Mountain Volunteer Army. Zong Wenli was stunned for a moment, then laughed, and shouted three times in a row.

"The dog has this achievement, and he has not humiliated the family. Look at the tea! Just because two adults bring such a gospel, they deserve a cup of tea! "Old Man Zong's mind is quick, he guessed that Zong Tao was only more than 20 miles away from his home, but he didn't know the news, he must be afraid that the devil would find out the inside story and embarrass his family. Zhanqizhai changed banners to resist Japan, Zong Wenli also heard about it, and secretly admired the leader of the cottage, Ming Dayi, but he didn't know that the leader was Zong Tao.

"The family is lucky, the family is lucky!" Zong Wenli stroked his forehead and laughed.

After laughing, Zong Wenli stared at Zhou Yongsheng and Luo Youfu, and snorted: "I know all the intentions of the two of you, go back and tell Kazuo Yamaguchi, traitors our clan will not do, if you want to kill or chop, the old man is waiting for him to come!" Zhou Yongsheng was still waiting to speak, Zong Wenli stood with his sleeves brushed: "Lord Zhou doesn't have to bother much, if you don't go back, you will tie up the old man!" ”

"Don't dare." Zhou Yongsheng took a step back.

Seeing the situation, Zong Wenli refused to rebel, Zhou Yongsheng and Luo Youfu were submissive and did not dare to talk.

"Sending off!"

Zong Wenli shouted, but got up and personally sent Zhou Yongsheng and Luo Youfu to the gate of the courtyard, sideways half of the door, stared at Zhou Yongsheng and said: "County Magistrate Zhou is also a celebrity, full of the book of sages, and now that he has fallen to this, would you rather be ashamed?" Zhou Yongsheng didn't dare to answer, walked out quickly, and didn't look back.
