Chapter 120: Murder and usurpation
Chao Han lifted the wine jar, and poured a large sip of wine into his mouth, the wine syrup overflowed, soaking the placket on his chest, he put down the wine jar, no longer spoke, his eyes were slightly closed, his pupils contracted, and he seemed to be in deep thought, to be honest, Ji Xiaolou and An Yunqiao did this, they had already gone against the grain, tearing their robes, when they first went up the mountain to form an alliance and swore an oath, he was in the second place, that is to say, he was only under the lord of the village, but later Ji Xiaolou, the son of the lord of the village, became more and more wanton and indulgent, and did not take the uncles in his eyes at all, and the lord of the cottage and his wife are dedicated to protecting the calf, Chao Han has long been unable to stand it, the garrison defense in the cottage, the marching array are arranged by him, even the contradictions between the brothers are reconciled by him, his prestige up and down the cottage has actually surpassed the lord of the village, but he has been forbearing, now he feels that the opportunity has come, he wants to take the opportunity to stand up for the brothers to bring down the lord of the village in one fell swoop, of course, this is the idea that he has been waiting for a long time in his heart, he stared at Lian Baitong, eagle eyes were bright, and asked seriously; "If the third brother's words are true, why are we waiting for? Let's talk about it, what are the plans of the third brother? ”
Lian Baitong immediately replied; "Let's force the owner of the village again, and ask him to immediately express his attitude to the Japanese, if he is vague and prevarication, we will not do it, and we will not stop, just kill him, support the second brother to be the owner of the village, and then take refuge in the Japanese, our cottage brothers also have a way out, and they don't have to be on this mountain anymore, and they are not afraid of the New Fourth Army to retaliate, what does the second brother think?" He said it with confidence, and it seemed that it had been planned a long time ago. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Huang Han glanced at Lian Baitong obliquely, secretly surprised in his heart; 'This kid is even more ruthless than I imagined, it seems that hatred can really make people crazy, and it is also to blame Ji Xiaolou and An Yunqiao for doing things too badly, but his words make sense, if you don't make a move, you can't make the opponent turn over. He immediately nodded in agreement; "Okay, everyone has done everything, don't blame us for being unjust."
Lian Baitong immediately agreed; "Let's do it tonight, and take advantage of Ji Xiaolou's kid not in the cottage, on the grounds that my brothers and sisters have important matters to discuss, we will feast on the owner of the village and his wife, if the owner of the village agrees, he will not move him according to the previous idea, if he is Tang Saizhiwu, we will take another jar of good wine out and continue to drink, but this jar of wine is our hands and feet, and there is sweat medicine, let him and his wife go first, and then feed poison to solve his husband and wife."
Chao Han exclaimed; "The master of the village is treacherous and treacherous, don't be careless, if you are not careful, you will be detected by him, and you will take out the wine with sweat medicine, we will all drink it on the table, how can I avoid it? Wouldn't it be impossible to drink fake wine, so that he wouldn't notice it? ”
"Don't worry, this second brother," Lian Baitong said with a sneer; "We will take the antidote in advance, and drink it in the same big bowl on the table, how can he have the slightest notice."
Chao Han nodded reassuringly; "That's good, now the cottage and the main good old seven are not there, the eighth person has always been neutral, but it can also be seen that he is also quite dissatisfied with the father and son of the big village, you can ignore him, only the fourth, the fifth and the second, the sixth is our people, before you start, you must tell him, let go of the big village owner and his wife, and then inform the fourth, the fifth said, the big village master suddenly fainted, and after the two of them entered the room, immediately arrest it, if the two of them are willing to do it with us, if they are not willing to get rid of it on the spot, Immediately inform the sixth child and our henchmen to do it tonight. ”
The night twilight fell, a thin mist floated on the top of the Leopard Thunder Stream, and the cottage camp also lit the pine oil torches, the top of the mountain is high and straight, and there will be fog and mist in the early morning and evening, but tonight's fog and mist seem to be much thicker than in the past, and the torches in front of the camp also appear to be flickering in these fog and mist.
In the room of the three village owners 'turning the sky harrier' and Bai Tong, the torches are bright, the sea table is full of big pots of meat, big pots of vegetables, and a big jar of wine is placed next to it.
After drinking a few bowls of wine, Lian Baitong asked Ji Xiaotian straight to the point; "Master Dazhai, how did you think about what my brother told you? The Japanese are chasing closely, and the brothers see that the owner of the village should make a decision as soon as possible, whether it is successful or not, give a happy word, and the brothers are also good friends. ”
Ji Xiaotian grabbed a leg of mutton, bit it unhurriedly, and replied with a dry smile; "Third brother, the eldest brother is thinking about it, the Japanese are also untrustworthy masters, once we agree, many things will be out of our way, this kind of thing can't be rushed."
Lian Baitong was in a hurry; "The Japanese are also ruthless, we haven't replied for a long time, they are going to attack the cottage, the Japanese artillery fire we have also seen, now not only the Japanese want to attack the cottage, I heard that the New Fourth Army guns and medicines for the young village master, the New Fourth Army is also actively preparing to attack our cottage, they also have artillery fire, and it is no worse than the Japanese, the Japanese have a squadron of more men and horses are lost in the general, and their Jianghu special combat team is some Jianghu martial arts masters, brave and good at fighting, climbing mountains and mountains like walking on the ground, If they attack our cottage, the danger is far worse than that of the Japanese. ”
Ji Xiaotian replied disapprenousively; "What's wrong with the Japanese? It's not that they haven't attacked our cottage, and they didn't get any convenience when they came to clean it up twice, the New Fourth Army is different, they mainly fight the Japanese team, they talk about principles, and they won't easily attack our cottage, even if they are angry about guns and drugs, they will send people to write a letter to negotiate, we will compensate them, our cottage still has this money. ”
Lian Baitong was speechless for a moment, and his face became gloomy.
Ji Xiaotian picked up the wine bowl and drank the wine in the bowl, put down the wine bowl, looked at Lian Baitong, and laughed; "Brother, this chaotic era is beneficial to us now, the New Fourth Army wants to absorb us, but the New Fourth Army is too poor, the Japanese want to integrate us, but they are temporarily using us, as long as we accept the Japanese integration, then the Japanese do not regard the Chinese as human beings at all, at that time they will not be comfortable, now the people of the National Army also want to integrate us, do we have to weigh left and right?"
Chao Han next to him couldn't help but interject; "But the people of the national army are so retreating that they can't see the figure, what do they use to co-opt?"
Ji Xiaotian shook his head and replied smugly; "In fact, the way of the national army is the most ideal, they only provide us with weapons, ammunition and funds, we are also at ease in the mountains, not bound by anyone, every day still a big bowl of wine, a big bowl of meat, living a fairy-like life, how happy!"
Lian Baitong stood up and said to Ji Xiaotian; "Okay, since the owner of the village has an idea, the brother will no longer mention the matter of taking refuge in the Japanese, let's continue to drink, the brother also treasures a jar of old kiln wine, this is taken, after the brother listens to the words of the master of the village, his heart is also steady, and he wants to drink." With that, he turned and walked away from the table.
After a while, Lian Baitong returned to the table with a jar of wine, opened the altar seal, filled the bowls of everyone on the table, put down the wine jar, and picked up his own wine bowl to Ji Xiaotian and You Zhaohuadao; "Big brother, this is a jar of some old kiln wine, Shanxi's Du Kang wine, my brother has been reluctant to drink it, today it is rare for the eldest brother and sister-in-law to get together with the brothers here, come! Brothers, respect your eldest brother and sister-in-law. ”
Ji Xiaotian and You Zhaohua just smiled all over their faces, but they didn't serve the wine bowl for a long time.
Lian Baitong naturally knew the thoughts of Ji Xiaotian and his wife, so he didn't speak, and drank the wine in the bowl with a cocked neck.
Huang Han asked in surprise next to him; "The third brother's wine is an aged Du Kang wine? It's been years since we've had this kind of wine. With that, he took a sip of the bowl and praised it loudly; Clear and thorough, sweet and pure, rich aroma, winding belly, intriguing aftertaste, is this taste! We've almost forgotten about the taste. Then he picked up the wine bowl and drank it all, wiping the remaining wine from the corner of his mouth with his hand, looking like he was unfinished.
Only then did Ji Xiaotian pick up the wine bowl and show his wife You Ikebana; "It's rare for the third brother to have a piece of his heart, to be honest, we haven't drunk this kind of aged Du Kang kiln wine for many years, and today is a blessing."
After Ji Xiaotian and his wife drank the wine, Lian Baitong poured a bowl of wine for everyone, and he really stopped talking about the Japanese co-optation, only some anecdotes about the rivers and lakes.
The aged Du Kang kiln wine has a strong aroma, a fresh and fragrant nose, a pure and strong taste, a strong and refreshing taste, a little sweet aftertaste, and it is a winding belly, which makes people feel full of Thai and invigorating.
Everyone drank and chatted in big bowls, and unconsciously, You Zhaohua fell headlong on the table, and spit out a sentence in his mouth; "Boss, this wine is wrong!" Before he could finish speaking, the man had fallen asleep.
Ji Xiaotian became vigilant, and looked at Lian Baitong and Huang Han, but saw that the two of them were just flushed and extremely excited, and they didn't see anything abnormal, but he was a seasoned old Jianghu, and he was silent, secretly taking a breath of true qi from the dantian qi sea, but he felt that the dantian in his abdomen was empty, and he couldn't gather a trace of true qi softly, and he exclaimed in his heart; 'Not good! I fell in love with the third child, but why did the third child harm me? ’
Lian Baitong glanced at Ji Xiaotian, knowing that he had already understood the sweat medicine in the wine, his eyebrows twitched a few times and the corners of his mouth twitched a few times, and said to Ji Xiaotian; "I'm sorry, big brother! Seeing that the New Fourth Army is about to attack our cottage, the Japanese are chasing me in a hurry, if they don't agree to the Japanese, they will soon start attacking our cottage, when the time comes, we will be attacked on both sides, and the brother has no choice but to make this decision, however, the eldest brother is just in the sweat medicine, and must not move the true qi, so as not to avoid the imprisoned true qi from going wrong and hurting the meridians. ”
Huang Han also stood up and kept looking at Lian Baitong with his eyes, meaning that he wanted him to take this opportunity to quickly poison Ji Xiaotian and his wife.
Lian Baitong seemed hesitant, and he was gritting his teeth all daylight thinking about revenge for insulting his wife, but at this time, he was timid and unwilling to be ruthless, after all, he was a brother in life and death for many years.
Ji Xiaotian's skill is much stronger than that of his wife You Zhaohua, at this time, although he was affected by the sweat medicine, his whole body was weak, his qi was empty in the dantian, and his mind gradually became dizzy, but he could barely hold on, and his consciousness was still clear, he looked at Huang Han, and sneered for a while, "It turns out that the second brother and the third brother have been premeditated for a long time, you have already drunk the antidote in advance, the purpose is to trap the eldest brother into the gangster, you want to warn the cottage and force me to hand over the power, it seems that the second brother has coveted the position of the eldest brother for a long time?" ”
Chao Han also sneered; "Big brother, it's no wonder brothers, when our eight village masters made an alliance and swore an oath, they once made an oath to treat brothers equally, but after that, when will you and your sister-in-law treat us as your own brothers? Everything is up to your little ancestor, you have lost the hearts of the people in the cottage, brothers do this today, just to speak for the brothers. ”
Ji Xiaotian sighed heavily; "Your nephew is young and ignorant, so why should you be an elder like him? Now that I hand over the power of the cottage to you, you may not have a good result by taking refuge in the Japanese? Let's think about it. ”
Chao Han looked at Ji Xiaotian, gloomy and compassionate; "Let's take refuge in the New Fourth Army, the New Fourth Army is too poor, and the brothers are not used to living a poor life like a monk, but they can't watch the New Fourth Army come to attack our cottage, right? Therefore, it is necessary to take refuge in the Japanese, and with Japan as a backer, we are not afraid of the New Fourth Army! And at this time, you are still protecting your little ancestor, do you know, what have your little ancestor and Lao Qi done in the county below the mountain in the past few days? The two of them ate and drank well in the third brother's restaurant, borrowed money, and actually gave other people's wives **! That's an aunt, a sister-in-law, tell me, is there still a heavenly reason? ”
Ji Xiaotian turned his head to look at Lian Baitong and asked; "Really?"
Lian Baitong looked depressed and decadent, and pleaded helplessly; "This kind of thing is already embarrassing to talk about, who would lie about this kind of thing?"
Ji Xiaotian shook his head and smiled; "This is your third brother's, isn't it, your so-called wife in the city is just a kiln sister who bought it from the kiln, you have to value this matter, the eldest brother gives you a lot of money, which kiln sister do you fancy again, can't you buy it again, this kind of thing is still serious?"
Unexpectedly, this sentence completely angered Lian Baitong, Lian Baitong stepped forward and couldn't help but say, tightly strangled his neck from behind Ji Xiaotian, quickly took out a black pill from his pocket with one hand and fed it to him, and then let go of his hand and stood aside.
In a moment, Ji Xiaotian's eyes widened, his mouth opened, and he collapsed on the table, this is a huge poisonous pill, it can kill people in an instant, and the poor generation of reckless heroes will return to Huangquan.
Lian Baitong fed the pills into You Zhaohua's mouth in the same way, and let her husband and wife return to Nahe Bridge together.
Chao Han saw that Ji Xiaotian and his wife had returned to Huangquan, so he breathed a sigh of relief and shouted outside the door; "Someone!"
Someone immediately answered outside the door; "Here we go!" Immediately walked in a few sturdy men, the six village master 'pangolin' Mo Shunwu was also among them, he entered the house and saw the big village master and his wife sleeping on the table, immediately understood what was going on, this was what they had discussed in advance, Mo Shunwu immediately took out the shell gun to turn around and go out to the door to the two Ji Xiaotian's personal entourage, and got off his two guns.
The two personal entourage of the big village master outside the door didn't figure out what was going on at all, and the gun was taken down, and the muzzle of the black hole was on the temple of the head.
Chao Han spoke to the two attendants; "Two brothers, the owner of the village and his wife have died violently because of the old illness caused by excessive drinking, and the cottage may also have to replace the new leader of the village, let me read that the two of you are the personal guards who have followed the master of the village for many years, and now give the two of you a chance to choose, if you continue to swear allegiance to the lord of the village, then I will fulfill the loyalty of the two of you, and go on the road with the lord of the village! If you want to stay, you can also support the new leader, right? ”
The two attendant guards looked at each other for a while, and one of the attendant guards immediately said; "The two of us are also ordered to follow the lord of the village, since the lord of the village is no longer alive, the loyalty of the two of us is also exhausted, and I am willing to stay to support the new leader and continue to serve the cottage."
Chao Han nodded with satisfaction; "Okay, just stay, listen to my orders, but the gun can still be given to you for the time being, and it will naturally be returned to you when the time comes, and now put the remains of the owner and his wife back in his room."
The two entourage guards and the other two people immediately stepped forward and carried one of them, and removed the bodies of Ji Xiaotian and You Zhaohua and his wife, except for Ji Xiaotian's two entourage guards, the others were Chao Han, Lian Baitong and Mo Shunwu's henchmen.
