Chapter 43: Escape from the treacherous strategy

The fire just now also scared Sheng Xuting's head into a layer of cold sweat, in order to show it, he hurriedly went up and slapped Chen Huatang, and scolded: "It's really a thing that doesn't have long eyes, I can't think of this thing, can't you think of it!" Whose house is this, this is Commander Wang! He still didn't understand his hatred, so he went up and kicked Chen Huatang fiercely.

Chen Huatang also knew that he had caused a big disaster, so he didn't say anything more, but lowered his head and hid to the side.

Sheng Xuting went over to look at Liu Xiaosan's wound again, and said comfortingly: "I'm sorry, this brother, I've covered your injury." ”

Liu Xiaosan said unconvinced: "I just made a joke on Chief Chen Wei, and I was shot, because I flashed fast, or it would have been over early." If Commander Wang also made such a joke, wouldn't he be in big trouble. ”

This sentence blocked Sheng Xuting had nothing to say, so he had to reprimand Chen Huatang and said: "In the future, you are no longer allowed to carry a gun, let alone open the nose of the machine." This is our home, what are you afraid of! ”

Wang Shantang smiled and said, "This matter is over, pay attention to it in the future." Deputy Commander Sheng, tell me what you have to do with me! ”

Wang Shantang said that the matter had passed, but he wrote it down in his heart.

Han Xing came to find Wang Shantang again, took out the newspaper that published Sheng Xuting in Liaocheng's "Anti-Japanese War Daily", and stimulated Wang Shantang and said: "Commander Wang, look, look, the newspapers that published Sheng Xuting have come out. Now, Sheng Xuting is blowing a trumpet in the crack of the door - the reputation is outside, even louder than your Commander Wang! ”

Wang Shantang took the newspaper, read it, and said, "Director Han, it's good that the article is well written, but you only know one thing, not the other." Although Sheng Xuting had a vicious battle with Li Caidi of Gaotang, it was a defeat! He was defeated, and there were only twenty or so left to come to me. If I hadn't taken him in, he wouldn't be where he is today. ”

Han Xing slapped his thigh and pretended to be stupid and said, "Really, it seems that it is me Meng Lang, just listen to him blow it." Listening to the meaning of his words, it doesn't seem like you took him in, but it seems like he gave the 29th team commander a big face. ”

Wang Shantang shook his head and said: "This 29th detachment, I am still in charge, and no one else can be in charge." ”

Han Xing shook his head and said, "It doesn't seem to be the case, many people in the 29th detachment worship Deputy Commander Sheng very much!" Sheng Xuting doesn't look at the number of people, but his activity ability is quite strong, and he is pulling parties around in the team, and he doesn't know what to do! ”

Wang Shantang was alert when he heard this, and asked Han Xing: "Who are they looking for activities, and what are they talking about?" ”

Han Xing shook his head and said, "I don't know who I'm looking for, I can't hear what they're talking about, but they're quite active anyway." Actually, this is also what he should do, Commander, you are busy, shouldn't he help you! You're all iron buddies. ”

Wang Shantang didn't say anything more, his face looked ugly.

That night, there was an assassination in Wang Shantang's bedroom, the murderer fired three shots in succession, if the muzzle of the gun was lowered, Wang Shantang would definitely be dead, and the bullet hit three small holes in the wall where Wang Shantang slept. By the time the guards chased him out, the murderer had already fled and was nowhere to be found.

Hearing that Wang Shantang was assassinated, several close officers came to ask for warmth, Wang Shantang smiled and said: "It's okay, it's okay, I, Wang Shantang, have a great life, and the person who killed me hasn't been born yet!" ”

After he got rid of them, he was thinking about what had happened during this time. Who will be the one who will assassinate him? Han Xing and Chen Ping just came, if it was said that they assassinated themselves, it was impossible, they themselves were Fan Zhuxian's people, and there was no benefit for them to assassinate themselves! It seems unlikely that the junior officers would have assassinated themselves, for after having been together for so long, many of them have become brothers who have passed their lives, and have become interdependent, and they have both prospered and lost, and there is no need for them to assassinate themselves.

Thinking about it, it is somewhat possible to say that Sheng Xuting assassinated himself, Sheng Xuting is the deputy commander, and he died, does he think that he is in charge!

Wang Shantang aimed his suspicion at Sheng Xuting, he called Li Guangdou and said to him: "Battalion Commander Li, how am I doing to you?" ”

How smart Li Guangdou is, he hurriedly said: "Commander Wang, you and I are like brothers, you are my eldest brother, I haven't been following you for a day or two, what kind of person I am, don't you know yet?" ”

Wang Shantang patted Li Guangdou's shoulder and said, "Recently, our 29th detachment is not clean!" ”

Li Guangdou nodded and said, "Yes, I think so." Take a look, last time, the box gun misfired and injured Liu Xiaosan, if Chen Huatang's muzzle was crooked, wouldn't even you piggyback on it. And you were shot black, if I knew who this murderer was, I would have to pick his skin! ”

"Who do you think the killer will be?" Wang Shantang asked.

"I thought about this for a long time, but I didn't figure out who it was." Li Guangdou said.

"You say, could it be Hanxing? He's only been here for a few days, and we've had so much going on here. ”

Li Guangdou smiled and said, "You said this stupid talent! To put it bluntly, he is also a showman, and it is okay to write articles, but if you make a gun stick, you just give him a gun, and if it doesn't go off, you can talk about it, let alone let him be a killer. ”

Wang Shantang nodded and said, "Yes." If you think about it, who else would it be? ”

Li Guangdou shook his head and said, "I really can't think of it, I've been thinking about it for a long time." ”

Wang Shantang's meaning was to make Li Guangdou suspect that it was Sheng Xuting, but Li Guangdou didn't say that it was Sheng Xuting. Wang Shantang couldn't hold it back, and whispered: "You say, could it be Sheng Xu Pavilion!" ”

Li Guangdou shook his head again and again and said: "No, no, Sheng Xuting is your senior brother, and you trust him so much, give him a deputy commander." How could he oppose you? If he's against you, he's so wrong. ”

Wang Shantang had no choice but to say: "You can't have the heart to hurt people, you can't have the heart to prevent people, it's hard to paint the skin of a tiger, you don't know your heart if you know people, you don't know your heart, you should worry more about him!" ”

Li Guangdou had to nod.

Besides, Sheng Xuting also felt restless in his room, unable to sit and lie down, the fire incident, the assassination of Wang Shantang, everything was very strict, as if an invisible hand was slowly reaching out to him. He called Chen Huatang and discussed how to deal with these things.

"Huatang, you said that the gun went off again, and it was the assassination of Wang Shantang, what does this mean? Isn't it for us! ”

Chen Huatang said: "Big brother, last time Liu Xiaosan poked me for no reason, I felt that there was a reason for it, I was obviously holding a gun and opening the nose, he didn't know, but he deliberately stimulated me, and also complained about my carelessness, and fell for him, so he gave him a shot." You say, "Isn't this a bitter meat trick?" I think the person behind him must be Wang Shantang. ”

Sheng Xuting nodded, and said: "This time the assassination of Wang Shantang is even stricter, is Wang Shantang's goal against us?" ”

"Actually, it's just against us," Chen Huatang said, "Maybe whoever shot the black gun may be Wang Shantang's own people, the purpose is to find an excuse to attack us." I've said a long time ago that the taste under the fence is not good, and the eldest brother doesn't like to listen to it, so I see it now. Wang Shantang calls you a brother on the surface, but in fact, he has a belly full of flowers, and he is always afraid that you will take away his power! ”

Sheng Xuting nodded again and said, "Since Han Xing and Chen Ping came, so many things have happened here, is this kid Han Xing planning behind the scenes?" ”

"This maybe," Chen Huatang said, "but Han Xing is a member of the Kuomintang, and I heard that he also has a background in military command, so I know this, and I don't think he will do anything to us." But Chen Ping is *** person, since we killed the leader of ***, Jin Gulan, we have formed a bond with ***, we have to be careful! Here, we have to guard against Wang Shantang, we have to guard against ***, and we have to guard against the Kuomintang like Han Xing, which is really too difficult. I see, big brother should find another way, I really can't get along here. ”

"According to you, what other way do we go?"

Chen Huatang said: "Big brother, I can't sleep at night, and I'm thinking about this problem. If you don't mix here, you can't go there Li Caidi, we just fought with them, and the friendship is too deep. Now the Japanese are very powerful, but there is a shortage of people, if our brothers go, they will definitely be able to show their skills and make our team bigger. Now, in mixed society, no one can't do without a gun! ”

"But that's a traitor, as long as you take that road, there will be no turning back."

"Big brother, don't you want to think about it, besides that way, is there any other way, there is really no way for us......"

Sheng Xuting thought about it, except for being a traitor, other ways really made him desperate, and there was no way out, but he said worriedly: "Just with more than 20 of us, with a mouth on our shoulders, the Japanese don't take it for us!" ”

Chen Huatang thought for a while and said: "What's so difficult about this, the amount is small and not a gentleman, non-toxic and not a husband, start when you should start, and there is no meeting gift." ”

So, the two of them conspired again.

Sheng Xuting immediately wrote a secret letter, asking his nemesis Wang Xiaohu to send it to the Japanese commander Yamamoto in Gaotang, Yamamoto was very happy after receiving the letter, and immediately rewarded Wang Xiaohu with some money, and wrote back to Wang Xiaohu.

Wang Xiaohu felt that he had completed the mission given by his master, and he was very happy in his heart, and he wanted to go back, but when he saw the brothel in Gaotang County, he couldn't pull his legs anymore, thinking that in Wang Shantang's team, his life was too depressed, especially after being a bachelor for so long, he had become a monk, so he indulged in the brothel for one night and enjoyed it to the fullest.

The next morning, Wang Xiaohu dragged his tired body, hummed a little tune, and walked to the station of the 29th detachment step by step.

Just when he was about to arrive at the 29th detachment, he suddenly tripped under his feet and fell a dog eating, and before he understood what was going on, he was immediately tied up by Wuhuada. Wang Xiaohu took a closer look, and the person in front of him was none other than Li Guangdou, Han Xing and Chen Ping.

Wang Xiaohu immediately howled like a pig: "Second battalion commander, what is this for?" Your own people, your own people's ......"

Li Guangdou smiled coldly: "Return your own people, let me ask you, what did you do with Commander Gaotang Yamamoto?" Where does the money come from for a night in a brothel? We already know your every move, and you are your own people, you are a traitor, right, don't you tell the truth? ”

Wang Xiaohu was shocked when he heard this, it turned out that what he had done, people had already known it clearly, but he still Kelang padd the table legs - he couldn't hold it hard, and he was drunk and didn't recognize half a pot of wine.

Li Guangdou immediately searched for the letter written by Yamamoto to Sheng Xuting on Wang Xiaohu's body, read it, and handed it to Han Xing and Chen Ping to read. This is also arranged in advance, everyone Sheng Xuting is planning to kill you, and the human and material evidence are all there, it depends on what you do.

Li Guangdou pointed a gun at Wang Xiaohu's head and said: "Dog traitor, it's not enough for you to surrender to the Japanese devils, you have to take Commander Wang's life with you, and killing you ten times is not worth the crime you committed." ”

Han Xing also kicked him and scolded, "You dog traitor, you can be regarded as having lived to the end." ”

Chen Ping also slapped him and scolded: "You bandits, traitors, and executioners also killed Comrade Jin Gulan, even if you are chopped alive, you are not worthy of Comrade Jin Gulan's life!" ”

Wang Xiaohu knew that his life had come to an end, and he knew that begging for mercy was in vain, so he had to look like a dead pig who was not afraid of boiling water, raised his head, and said loudly: "It's dead or alive, anyway, I'm just a bunch of them, so please give me a good time." ”

Li Guangdou shouted loudly: "Playing the dead, you still want to die happily, it's not so easy, I just want to make you live." As he spoke, he gave a look at the people under his hand, and three or four soldiers came up, took out knives from their hands one by one, and gestured in front of Wang Xiaohu's face.

Li Guangdou said: "We are going to chop you alive, and then put your human skin in straw, so that people will know that this is the end of being a traitor." ”

Wang Xiaohu was really scared now, and said with a grin: "The second battalion commander spared me, I have no choice, this is all instigated by Sheng Xuning, and I am also an errand runner." ”

Li Guangdou pointed a gun at Wang Xiaohu's head and said, "You still have a way to live, it depends on whether you cooperate or not." ”
