As soon as he said this, he suddenly came up from the roof, "Horn! Trumpet! Trumpet! Several shots were fired, one of which missed the hair of Bo Guangsan, and the other two hit two of Bo Guangsan's soldiers. Bo Guangsan did not lose his long-term battle, and did not panic at all, shouting: "Control the situation," and then raised his gun and fired it at the roof.

The bandits also raised their guns and fired, and the machine guns swept towards the roof, and soon suppressed the fire on the roof. A few shots were fired from the roof, and a quick retreat. The bandits were about to chase, but Bo Guangsan waved his hand and said, "Poor Kou Mo chase, just chase them away." ”

Bi Ruifu had already woken up, and wanted to break through with this chaos, but when he saw it, something was wrong, where was the firepower on the roof to rescue them, it was clear that it was here to make trouble, pushing them into an even more difficult situation.

At this time, more than a dozen guns of the bandits were still aimed at them, and once they broke through, they didn't know how many people they would have to sacrifice.

The eyes of dozens of waiters are looking at Bi Ruifu, which means "what to do, fight or not!" ”

Bi Ruifu shook his head, it was not yet the last moment, and he wanted to save these anti-Japanese fires as much as possible.

The scene quickly calmed down, Bo Guangsan brandished his pistol, and shouted at the waiters: "I was originally playing a game with you, but I didn't expect that your people really did it, and killed two of our brothers and injured two of them at once." You say, "What should you do, whether it is one life for one life, or all of it?" ”

Bi Ruifu said loudly: "This is not our person at all, if it were really our people, they would never run away with a few shots, and they would definitely fight to the end." ”

Bo Guangsan brandished his pistol and said, "It's strange, how can someone who is not you come to rescue you." ”

Bi Ruifu thought for a moment and said, "Our people are here, and there are no more of us outside. The purpose of their coming is to cause civil strife between our two factions, so that you can kill us, which is also called killing people with a knife, can't you see it? ”

Bo Guangsan scratched his scalp and said, "It seems to make some sense, if I kill your people, it will be out of control, and there will be no way back, right?" However, our people cannot die in vain, and if they die in vain, not only will the brethren not want to, but I will not be able to pass it. ”

Bi Ruifu thought that he had already died once anyway, so why not die again, straightened his chest, raised his neck and said, "Then kill me!" ”

Bo Guangsan took a gun and pointed it at Bi Ruifu and said, "I like people who are not afraid of death!" Well, that's the end of the game, so you can rest. ”

As he spoke, an order was given, and the bandits who led him withdrew from the waiter's yard, and there were still two posts standing at the door, and two machine guns blocked the gate.

At lunchtime, in order to appease Qi Zixiu, Zhang Weihan specially asked for a table of wine and food from the Jinhao Hotel, saying that it was for Qi Zixiu to wash the dust, and invited a few local gentry to accompany him. During the banquet, everyone ate and drank, saying high-sounding words, encouraging each other to resist Japan and save the country.

Zhang Weihan was angry in his heart while facing Qi Zixiu with a smiling face, and scolded: "What's the matter, he confiscated our guns and defrauded our city, and he has to accompany them with a smiling face, and entertain them with good wine and food." "I really want to take a gun and immediately collapse them, so as to relieve the hatred in my heart. But under the guns of others, I had to bow my head again, and in the next step, I really don't know what kind of tricks this Qi Zixiu is playing.

Sure enough, after a few glasses of wine, Qi Zixiu gave another problem, and said: "County Magistrate Zhang, I came to your county and caused you so much trouble, I really don't want to go." However, we also have our difficulties, so many people, if they want to resist Japan, they have to eat, drink, and feed. We really have no choice but to reluctantly open our mouths to County Magistrate Zhang, and prepare another 5,000 yuan for us! ”

Zhang Weihan was even more angry in his heart, to you, I really blinded your dog's eyes, not to mention that now I have no right to extort money from the locality, even if I have money, I can't give it to you bandits who harm people. But on the surface, he had to bargain with Qi Zixiu, so he said with a smile: "Our Liaocheng is a small place, and it is poor, where can we raise five thousand yuan." Company Commander Qi really lifted me up. ”

Qi Zixiu hurriedly said: "No, I saw that although Liaocheng County is not big, it is also full of businesses and thriving business, how can it be said that there is no money." If we really can't raise money, we have no choice but to live in Liaocheng. ”

Zhang Weihan said: "That's good, the Japanese are coming soon, and there is just a shortage of people, so please ask Company Commander Qi to help defend the city!" Besides, the nearby militia has received my order and is coming soon, and I feel more relieved to have your two gangs guarding the city. ”

said unintentionally, the listener had a heart, Zhang Weihan was scaring Qi Zixiu. Qi Zixiu thought to himself, whether the Japanese are coming or the militia is coming, it is enough for me to drink a pot, although Liaocheng is good, staying here is not a long-term solution, it is better to get out of this dangerous place as much as possible. So, I had to smile and say to Zhang Weihan: "I still ask County Magistrate Zhang to take into account our difficulties, if you can't solve 5,000, even 3,000!" The soldiers and horses have not moved, the grain and grass go first, and the team can only fight the Japanese when they are full of food and drink! If we give the money, we will leave immediately, and we will not bother you. ”

At this point, Zhang Weihan had no choice but to say: "Then I might as well be respectful, just think of a way to solve part of it for Company Commander Qi!" ”

Qi Zixiu was very happy when he heard that Zhang Weihan had solved part of the funds for him, and he picked up his glass and said, "Then I will thank County Magistrate Zhang, do it first as a respect!" As he spoke, he drank a glass of wine, and toasted three glasses with the gentry, and was already a little drunk.

Zhang Weihan thought to himself, if he doesn't leave at this time, let alone when, excused: "It's convenient," hurriedly left the wine field, and when he arrived at the toilet, the wall in the toilet was not high, Zhang Weihan turned over the wall and trotted towards East Street. From the East Street, I went around to the South Gate and hid it in the People's Education Center.

At that time, Qi Zixiu's brain was a little swollen for a while, and he relaxed his supervision of Zhang Weihan, and just thought about the good thing of raising money for him, seeing that Zhang Weihan couldn't wait for the first and second times, he suddenly realized a little and shouted: "It's not good!" Hurriedly called the soldiers to the toilet to look for it, where is there still a shadow of Zhang Weihan, and he has long since stopped meeting with black and white faces.

Qi Zixiu was panicked and hurriedly asked the soldiers to look for Zhang Weihan everywhere, and the soldiers took advantage of this introduction to rob the people's property. In particular, these newly recruited prisoners, who have changed from prisoners to national soldiers, holding the old sleeves seized from the hands of the waiters, and wearing military uniforms, are also a hundred times more vigorous, from thousands of people to thousands of people, they have suddenly become Shenwu soldiers who saved the country from danger, and that kind of swagger is something that a great writer cannot describe with a pen. From silver dollars to banknotes, from fashionable radios to jade bracelets worn by women, they put everything in their pockets.

The People's Education Center also came in with two routs, where did they come to search for people, they were clearly here to search for money. They don't care who it is, they just rummage through the boxes and cabinets and check the bottom of the day. Seeing Zhang Weihan and a few idlers, he just searched all over his body, and searched the only two silver dollars on Zhang Weihan's body.

Qi Zixiu robbed Liaocheng County again, and simply loaded the property of several businesses into the carriage, fearing that he would be annihilated by the militia if he stayed any longer, so after eleven o'clock in the evening, he fled from the city with the team.

On the morning of the 18th, Zhang Weihan went to the street to take a look, the street was deserted, and there was no one left, so he knew that Qi Zixiu had already run away with the team. Zhang Weihan immediately went to the Commissioner's Office to look for the waiter, but no one was found, and he couldn't help but be surprised, where did our waiter go, was he coerced by Qi Zixiu? Or do you want to go on your own? Not to mention that the waiter is gone, even the orderly is gone, and not a single acquaintance can be seen, and the entire Liaocheng County seems to have become an empty city overnight.

In desperation, Zhang Weihan thought of Fan Zhuxian's parting instructions: "I won't go to the river at the Qi River for the time being, you can send someone to contact me at any time." "If our waiter is coerced away by Qi Zixiu, we can only ask Fan Zhuxian for help. In this way, Zhang Weihan borrowed a bicycle from the People's Education Center and galloped out of the east gate in the direction of Qihe.

After riding for about three or four hours, I suddenly met Yao Dihong on the way, who was also riding a bicycle to this side, and he was also ordered by Fan Zhuxian, not worried about Liaocheng, so he came to contact. After meeting, Zhang Weihan roughly talked about the situation in Liaocheng, Yao Dihong said: "The child cried and hugged his mother, see Fan Zhu first, Fan Zhuxian is in the official village of Qihe." So, the two went to Qihe to meet Fan Zhuxian together.

Seeing Fan Zhuxian, Zhang Weihan reported to Fan Zhuxian in detail about the process of guarding Liaocheng, and Fan Zhuxian was silent when he listened. Zhang Weihan said: "The enemy of Gaotang has not gone south, Liaocheng is now an empty city, we should immediately return to Liaocheng, reoccupy it, and then pursue Qi Zixiu and rescue the waiters." ”

Fan Zhuxian's face was depressed, his mood was heavy, he was silent for a while, and said: "You have worked hard, go down and rest, it is not a trivial matter to return to the teacher Liaocheng, I will have a meeting tonight to study this issue." ”

Before the meeting, Zhao Hongwu, the captain of the Fuxing Society, approached Han Xing and said, "Stationmaster, the matter you handed over to us has been completed. ”

Han Xing said happily: "What is the result, did Qi Zixiu's people kill the waiters?" ”

Zhao Hongwu said dejectedly: "This thin light is very good, and he didn't fall for us." The waiter, Bi Ruifu, was also quite able to speak, and he explained our affairs at once. ”

When Han Xing heard this, he frowned and said, "Grandma's, this has become a loss-making business." What about the casualties of the brethren? ”

"Fortunately, I only injured two of them, and I brought them down, leaving no one alive."

"That's good," Han Xing said, "you go down and rest, you can't forget to move without my order." ”

Zhao Hongwu nodded, and quickly disappeared into the darkness.

At 7 p.m. on October 18, Fan Zhuxian held an emergency meeting in Guantun, Qihe, attended by Zhang Weihan, Yao Dihong, and principal officials of the Special Administration and the Security Command, including Zhao Yupo, Wang Jinxiang, Cui Fangde, Zhang Menglong, Liu Peizhi, Zheng Zuoheng, Su Bantian, and Han Xing.
