Chao Han asked Mo Shunwu; "Is the main room of Dazhai arranged inside and outside? If it is arranged, call someone to inform the four village owners and the five village owners. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ”

"No problem," Mo Shun replied in one breath; "It's our people who are in ambush, so I'll call someone to inform the fourth and fifth."

In the room of Ji Xiaotian, the owner of Dazhai, the lights and candles are bright, the bodies of Ji Xiaotian and You Zhaohua are lying on the big bed before their deaths, Chao Han has sent someone to wash the faces of the two of them with hot water, and scrub the black blood flowing from the corners of the ears, nose and mouth, it seems that the couple died peacefully.

Chao Han, Lian Baitong, and Mo Shun stood in front of the big bed, waiting for the other owners to come to mourn the remains of the owners of the village and discuss the funeral.

Shocked by the bad news, Ao Zhuangjiu, the master of Wuzhai, was the first to rush into the room of the master of Dazhai, he had a round bald head, a tiger-shaped scar, and two centipede-like scars on his face, as if he was vicious, he was called 'Wild Flying Dragon' by the people of the rivers and lakes, and his temperament was rough and fiery, he went to the big bed to look at the remains of the owner and his wife, his eyes widened, and he looked at it with doubt.

Li Kui, the master of the four villages, is tall, has a horizontal face, is reckless and arrogant, he is called 'giant python' by the people of the rivers and lakes, his temperament is cold and gloomy, cruel and bloodthirsty, he also came to the bed of the master of Dazhai, and quietly observed the remains of the deceased.

Bazhai main Liang Leopard, known as the 'Hissing Wind Leopard' in the rivers and lakes, chestnut inch head short hair, copper Ling ring eyes, thin waist and arms, vigorous and strong, he also came to the main bed of Dazhai, just watched from afar.

Ao Zhuangjiu watched for a while, turned his head sharply and shouted; "That's not right! At noon, my eldest brother was still drinking with his brother, how can I say that there is no more? There must be something strange in this, I think I have to look carefully! ”

Li Kui's eyes flickered, he leaned down and looked at Ji Xiaotian and You Zhaohua's faces repeatedly, observing for a while, he raised his head and said gloomily; "Big brother, what kind of illness did my sister-in-law suddenly have, which can be induced by alcohol? You see, the two of them have blue and gloomy faces, are they dying very strangely? ”

Ao Zhuangjiu's eyes were on fire, and he looked directly at Lian Baitong and shouted; "The eldest brother and sister-in-law are so dignified, they died suddenly after drinking at your third brother's place, third brother, you have to talk about it!"

Lian Baitong glared at him and replied angrily; "It's your eldest brother, and it's also my eldest brother, no one expected this sudden thing, could it be that my third brother wants to harm my eldest brother?"

Ao Zhuangjiu looked directly at Lian Baitong, his eyelids circled, his eyebrows and the corners of his mouth kept trembling, and he said strangely; "Hmph, this is also easy to find, let's go down the mountain to find Lang Zhong to diagnose immediately, if we don't find out the cause of death of my eldest brother and sister-in-law, their bodies will not be allowed to be buried in the ground!"

Chao Han to Ao Zhuang Jiudao; "Old five, can you calm down, when something like this happens, everyone feels uncomfortable, the third brother and the eldest brother are also brothers who were born and died, how can he harm the eldest brother and sister-in-law?"

Ao Zhuangjiu's teeth squeaked, and as soon as he lost his arms, he turned around and was about to go out.

"Stop!" Chao Han roared, stepped forward a few steps to stop Ao Zhuangjiu, and said sternly; "Fifth brother, don't make a mistake, now that the cottage is about to face an important disaster, the fifth brother should mourn by the way, and see how to tide the cottage through the dangerous period."

Ao Zhuangjiu didn't sell Chao Han's account, twisted his head and still wanted to forcibly rush out the door, Li Kui on the side grabbed him and persuaded him; "Fifth brother Mo is reckless! Let's listen to what the second brother has to say. ”

Ao Zhuangjiu stopped in a daze, his eyes bulging and looking at the ceiling of the house.

Chao Han explained; "You all know that the young village master and the seventh brother robbed the guns and medicines of the new Fourth Army of General Ao, and now the New Fourth Army of General Ao is already preparing to attack my cottage, and their dozens of cannons have been aimed at my Leopard Leijian Cottage, which is not long ago to eliminate the heavy weapons and artillery fire of a squadron of many people and horses of the Japanese, my Leopard Leijian Cottage is absolutely unstoppable, and the Japanese are also pressing the big brother Dazhai Lord to accept Zhao'an's incorporation, the Dazhai Lord has been delaying and not agreeing, and the Japanese are also preparing to attack my cottage with artillery under the mountain, The fate of Leopard Leijian Cottage hangs by a thread, so at present, we can only work together to see how to resolve this huge disaster. ”

Li Kui narrowed his eyes and asked unhurriedly; "Why haven't you heard about such an important matter?"

Chao Han looked at Li Kui again, smiled slightly, and then explained; "The fourth brother should know that the eldest brother has been secretly and nervously discussing with the central commanders sent by the national army in the past few days, and the eldest brother wants to use a third party to resolve this disaster and take refuge in the national army, but the national army has neither troops nor troops, how can this disaster be resolved? If the fourth brother doesn't believe it, the special envoys of the Central Command of the National Army live in the cottage, and I can ask him to come out and confront him face to face. ”

When Li Kui heard this explanation, he didn't ask any more questions, but his thoughts were racing in his heart, and he was silently calculating.

Ao Zhuangjiu ignored these explanations and shouted loudly and forcefully; "Fourth brother, Hugh listens to their nonsense, and everything is clear when the cause of the eldest brother's death is found." After that, he still ran out the door.

Lian Baitong stepped forward and pulled out his pistol and pointed it directly at Ao Zhuangjiu, and said coldly, "Fifth brother, you are too stubborn!" ”

Ao Zhuang Jiu was rough and violent by nature, he didn't eat this set, he saw the third brother using force, pointed the gun at his head, and quickly touched his waist with both hands, wanting to pull out the two shell guns between his waist and ribs, but unexpectedly, his fingers just touched the handle of the pistol, and Mo Shunwu next to him had already quietly touched his double gun.

Li Kui saw that the situation was not good, and he already knew that the other party had been prepared, and the hero would not suffer the immediate loss, so he hurriedly stretched out his hand to dissuade him; "Don't be rude, they are all their own brothers, what do you have to say."

Ao Zhuangjiu was still convinced, and shouted loudly towards the door; "Someone!" He wanted to call his personal attendant in.

A group of people poured in outside the gate, and saw that Ao Zhuangjiu and Li Kui's personal followers were disarmed and escorted into the house.

In this case, no matter how muddy Ao Zhuangjiu was, he suddenly stopped squeaking like a deflated ball, and his and Li Kui's eyes stared at the eighth brother Liang Bao to see what his attitude was.

Chao Han looked at Ao Zhuangjiu and Li Kui, and then at Liang Bao, his voice was stern; "Under the nest, Ann has finished eggs? As I said earlier, the cottage is currently facing an important disaster, if the cottage is destroyed, we will fall apart, and there will be nothing, so my third brother and I are also forced to do this, and the choice now is to cooperate with the New Fourth Army, or with the Japanese? Cooperation with the New Fourth Army, our cottage will not have a little benefit, because the New Fourth Army are all poor people, they are all so poor, so I think our cottage brothers will definitely not be able to endure that hardship, only cooperation with the Japanese will be beneficial, Japan will provide us with weapons and expenses, down the mountain to eat, drink spicy, at ease, do not go down the mountain, the Japanese will also give us the same monthly expenses, will also help us to win the Tiger Roaring Peak cottage in one fell swoop, strengthen our strength, how do you choose? ”

Bazhai main beam leopard disdainfully authentic; "If you follow the Japanese, you have more benefits, but what is being a traitor is against your ancestors."

Lian Baitong hurriedly explained; "Eighth brother, those who know the times are junjie, it's better than waiting for others to slaughter."

Li Kui's eyes flickered for a while, and he also said; "Okay, the second brother and the third brother are also right, if you follow the New Fourth Army, you will live a poor life, it's boring, Lao Tzu carries his head up the mountain to be a bandit, just want to live a better life, a big bowl of wine, a big bowl of meat, no matter how happy, since the Japanese can give us benefits, let's go with Japan."

Chao Han stared at Ao Zhuangjiu and asked; "Fifth brother, do you want to make a statement?"

Ao Zhuangjiu looked at Li Kui for a while, hung his head and replied; "Since the eldest brother is gone, just listen to your second brother and third brother."

Lian Baitong immediately shouted loudly; "Good! Since all the brothers have agreed to take refuge in the Japanese, everyone's opinions are the same, I will go down the mountain tomorrow to negotiate with Japan, now that the big brother of the cottage is gone, the second brother should take over the position of the owner of the cottage, let's worship the second brother as the master of the cottage now, and he will be the big brother from now on. ”

After Lian Baitong finished speaking, he gave Mo Shunwu a look, and Mo Shunwu understood, and immediately returned Ao Zhuangjiu's double guns to Ao Zhuangjiu.

Under the leadership of Lian Baitong, everyone in the room knelt down at Chao Han's feet and shouted with Lian Baitong; "The eldest brother is the master of the cottage, worshiped by the brothers, from now on you are the master of the cottage, the brothers are willing to follow you, crisscrossing the mountain, today at this time, make an oath, willing to obey your orders, accept your drive, guide to the south, point to the north and fight the north, stick a knife in both ribs, and never give up!"

A smile bloomed on Chao Han's dry face, a smile that came from the depths of his heart, a smile of relief that he had been longing for a long time and was suddenly satisfied, he waved his hand; "Brothers, get up, Chao someone is just the big brother of the owner of the village, the cottage is the brothers, Chao someone promises to consider the interests of the brothers in the future, and bring the brothers to a better life."

Everyone who knelt down stood up and congratulated Chao Han with fists, Ao Zhuangjiu was not as muddy as before, and also hugged his fists to the second brother with a smile on his face.

Chao Han has been through accidents for a long time, he has deep experience, he is not the kind of person who gets carried away, dealing with Ao Zhuangjiu, Li Kui and other rude people, he didn't take it to heart, these people have also been friends for so many years, than the teaching, they are as greedy and love as themselves, squandering and playing with women, things are gathered, as long as there are interests, it is easy to do, only the eighth brother Liang Leopard, he only joined the gang not long ago, I don't know much, this person is ignorant of the women in the cottage, so that it seems a little out of place, but this person has strong martial arts and good marksmanship, Getting along with his brothers on weekdays, he is very righteous and righteous, he is a usable person, and then he thought about it, he didn't bring a few people with him, he was weak, he couldn't turn over the waves, squinted his eyes and glanced at him with the corner of his eye, and saw that his face was calm, as if whoever was the leader of the village didn't care about him, Chao Han just needed him to have this mentality.

Chao Han looked around the room and spoke again; "Brothers, let's hang white flags and filial piety scarves tomorrow for the first time in the village, and hold a grand funeral for our previous old village owner, so that the old village owner can enter the earth for peace, because maybe when the new Fourth Army of General Ao will come, the battle will start, the artillery fire will be one after another, in case the remains of the old village owner and his wife will be in trouble, and the second tomorrow will be the old village owner and his wife into the earth after the burial, at noon, a big banquet will be held to celebrate the new start of our cottage."

The room full of people applauded, and Chao Han took advantage of the situation to say to Li Kui and Ao Zhuang; "The two of you are also closer to the old village owner on weekdays, and you will be responsible for the funeral arrangements tomorrow." After speaking, he pointed to Mo Shunwu and commanded; "The sixth child is responsible for arranging the banquet, and the wine and food must be abundant, so that the brothers can eat and drink well."

After arranging the funeral and banquet, Chao Han finally patted Lian Baitong on the shoulder and said; "The third brother will have a heavy responsibility tomorrow, and the negotiations with the Japanese are all up to you, and everyone is looking forward to the benefits and benefits of the cottage, it seems that only tomorrow night the foolish brother will have a good toast to you."

Lian Baitong arched his fist and gave a salute; "Don't worry, the brother will live up to expectations, everything is based on the interests and benefits of the cottage, and it will definitely bring good news to everyone." Of course, he was in a particularly comfortable mood, and the revenge of insulting his wife was so smooth, and he also had an explanation from the Japanese and the Imperial Army, which all depended on the help of the second brother, so it was strange not to be angry with the two mongrels of Ji Xiaolou and An Yunqiao.

The next day, it was still dark and not transparent, so Lian Baitong got up early, took two personal entourages and went down the mountain in the dark, and went straight to the county seat.

After entering the county seat, Lian Baitong found the garrison regiment headquarters of the Imperial Cooperative Army, and declared to the sentries standing guard that they wanted to see their regiment commander and had urgent official business.

Yin Kun is different from other officers of the Imperial Army, lazy and lax, he is a gang leader, and a person who practices martial arts, he will be diligent in practicing every morning and evening, after practicing his own martial arts alone in the morning, he urged his guard company to practice at the regiment headquarters, and the first battalion commander and the second battalion commander also came to watch the guard company practice after their respective exercises, and the three of them were together almost anytime and anywhere.

The sentry came to report, saying that there was a big Mengshan leopard Leijian cottage Lian Baitong asked to see, there was an urgent matter, Yin Kun heard this, couldn't help but secretly rejoice, this habitual bandit leader finally gave in, solved the bandit problem of the bandits in the Mengshan Mountain, not only can absorb and expand their own team, but also make great contributions in front of the Japanese imperial army, so that Japan is impressed, the common people of Yuyun County will also sing praises for him, set up a monument for local security, he immediately ordered the sentry to bring people to the conference room.

Yin Kun and the first battalion commander Yu Zhankui, the second battalion commander Suo Biao in the conference room ceremoniously received Lian Baitong, Lian Baitong was once secretly arrested by Yin Kun, wrote a letter of surrender in the hands of others, naturally Yin Kun was a little subservient, he simply and bluntly explained what happened in the cottage, the owner of the village was reluctant to accept the Imperial Association Army recruitment, and he had been eliminated by him and the second village master, and the other owners of the cottage were persuaded by them to agree to return to the Imperial Army, only waiting for the Yin Regiment Commander to send someone to receive it, of course, he also knew that Yin Kun was not only the commander of the Imperial Association, His Flying Eagle Hall is currently the largest gang sect in the Suxi and Mengmeng regions, and Yin Kun is also the hottest figure in black and white, and he doesn't dare to hide what happened to him about Shui Yuejiao and Ji Xiaolou and An Yunqiao's absconding, and he truthfully and dishonestly.
