"The head of the family, the second master is here."

He's not an outsider, he's coming, he's coming, are you making such a mystery? After glancing at the iron stone, Wang Shihua suddenly came back to his senses: It's not good... There must be something big, otherwise the second uncle wouldn't be so low-key.

"Where?"

"Outside the city, he sent someone to contact me."

"Let's go... Check it out. ”

As soon as he walked to the door, he saw Uncle Jiang holding a small teapot, leading his baby Xiaohei, and came in gracefully. Wang Shihua was overjoyed: Uncle Jiang is an old man, no matter black or white, he is very experienced, so it is just right to bring him.

Wang Jiping, with a dozen or so guards, was in the forest three miles away from the road from Lao Sicheng to the county seat.

As soon as the two sides met, and when the guards dispersed to the surrounding guards, Wang Jiping bowed to Wang Shihua with a fist and said, "Shihua, no... Head of house. With your vision, the second uncle is really convinced, and you deserve the position of the head of the family. ”

Under Wang Shihua's guidance, Wang Jiping also purchased 50,000 catties of grain, and the price was higher at that time, making others laugh, but now, it is his turn to watch the jokes of those who laugh at him, so he sincerely admires Wang Shihua's vision and courage.

"Second uncle, the family talks about the two families." Wang Shihua hurriedly helped him up, and then the three of them sat on the ground and asked directly, "Second uncle, what's wrong?" ”

"There are two things. First, there are 100,000 catties of grain you purchased from outside in the granary of the county seat, plus mine and some previous reserves, a total of nearly 200,000 catties. I have always sent loyal and reliable men to guard it, and it is almost enough. In the past, other families just wanted to buy some from me, and when they saw that I didn't let go, they wanted to secretly buy the steward, and no one dared to rob and prevent fire...... These are small things, and I have not reported them to you. But in the past few days, the gunmen have suddenly discovered that some people often step on points around the granary, and it is more and more obvious, and yesterday someone asked a direct question. I think there may be a big incident in the next few days, so it is better to prepare more manpower, so I have come to report to you, so that you can also have a bottom in your heart, and then ask you to send a group of good hands to me. ”

"Okay... I'll let the monkey come with 300 spearmen, plus the original 300 people, even if it is a rotation, it should be enough. ”

As soon as the words fell, Uncle Jiang on the side shook his head and said, "It's not enough..."

Seeing that Wang Shihua and Wang Jiping looked at each other, Uncle Jiang said with a straight face: "Second master, the old slave wants to ask first: These spies, can they find out whose family they are?" ”

"The previous ones are all from the other three. Just because they're all sneaky, I don't really care. But a few days ago, there were suddenly more spies around the granary, and I was interested. In addition, the steward reported to me this morning that someone actually wanted to bribe him and let him tell me about the layout in the granary...... To tell the truth, my scalp was numb when I heard it, and I immediately asked people to investigate, and as a result, I found that the extra spies were divided into two groups, one was actually the county magistrate Fang, and the other was never clear. I felt that the matter was serious, so I hurriedly ran back to report. ”

"County Magistrate Fang's people?" Wang Shihua was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously asked. Seeing Wang Ji nodding solemnly, Wang Shihua's brows furrowed slightly: The main reason is that he can't figure out whether the county magistrate Fang is doing this, whether he wants to provoke a few fights, fish in troubled waters, or have other purposes.

"The head of the family, no matter what kind of person he is, no matter what his goals are, the old slave thinks that we only have one way to go."

"Uncle Jiang, you speak."

"In this world, there is only a thousand days to catch a thief, how can there be a thousand days to prevent thieves, just rely on guarding, it is absolutely impossible to keep it. Therefore, the old slave felt that we had to fight back fiercely, deter Xiaoxiao in one fell swoop, and let them know that my Wang family also dared to kill, and they had scruples in their hearts in order to keep the safety of the granary. ”

"Uncle Jiang, you should be specific."

"Since the Xiang family dares to station people outside the county seat and threaten the county magistrate, won't my Wang family dare? Therefore, the old slave felt that on the one hand, we could also send a group of men and horses to be stationed outside the county town to play a deterrent role. On the other hand, for the granary, we must not only send more people, but also send good hands to the past. In this way, as long as those spies are served in a pot at a critical moment, tortured, coerced and lured, I still don't believe it, and I can't figure out their purpose? At the same time, our Wang family has now become a thorn in everyone's side, and everyone is staring at our Wang family's food. Then, in order to alleviate everyone's hostility towards our royal family, if we really can't cope with it, we can promise one or two, and we will sell them a batch of grain when the time comes......"

"Sell it to them?" When Wang Jiping heard this, he interjected: "Then aren't our previous preparations and plans all in vain?" What's the use of just making some money? ”

Until now, Wang Jiping has also come back to his senses, knowing that the main purpose of Wang Shihua's great effort is definitely not for money.

"Second master, we said that we could sell it to them, but at the critical moment, it was up to them whether to sell it or not. As long as there is no contract, no oath, can you count those who promise in private? I want to repent, they have no evidence, and no outsiders have proof to prove it, what can they do with us? Let's talk about it again, everyone relied on our Wang family once before, so don't we allow us to go back? "This is Uncle Jiang's cunning side.

"But when the time comes, if they want to unite......"

"Joint? Hey... Hey... When the time comes, we can sell some food to one of them, divide them, and deflect their anger. Moreover, if we are really in a hurry, we threaten to burn the grain, what can they do? After saying it murderously, Uncle Jiang smiled faintly, a bit of a master's demeanor of pointing out the country, and said: "Now food is a bargaining chip, as long as the chips are in our hands, they have to obey the arrangement." I want to force it, hum... Is my Wang family really easy to bully? Of course, I believe that the family and the second master will definitely master the heat here. ”

Seeing Wang Jiping nodding with a smile, Uncle Jiang smiled at Wang Shihua and said, "Family master, look at this shape, weapons, we have to purchase a large number of them fiercely." ”

"Huh... Ha...... Uncle Jiang is right, so let's do it. You can make a lot of money on food, just enough to make up for weapons. As he spoke, Wang Shihua beckoned to the iron stone not far away. After the iron stone came, he repeated what Uncle Jiang had just said, and then ordered: "Go and inform the monkey, and let him immediately take a thousand spearmen to the west of the county seat and station." You go and pick 300 good hands and follow the second uncle to guard the granary...... By the way, just in case, bring Pete and the little steel cannon with you. When the time comes, I will listen to the arrangement of the second uncle. ”

Iron Stone nodded, and chose someone to go.

The three of them discussed and added details. When everyone felt that it was almost over, Wang Shihua smiled and said, "Second uncle, this matter is almost over, what is the second thing you talked about?" ”

"It's not a matter of urgency at the moment, but I think there will definitely be big trouble in the future, and I think it has something to do with food, so I'm in a hurry to tell you about it."

Seeing Wang Shihua nodding and listening carefully, Wang Jiping said: "More than a month ago, the county magistrate Fang brought a batch of guns and ammunition from the state. But I got the news last night that County Magistrate Fang's home brought him a batch of guns. ”

"What's the matter? Got a cannon? Wang Shihua was taken aback, and the volume was a little higher: Five hundred fast guns Wang Shihua can not care, but since he has seen the power of small steel cannons, he is the most sensitive to cannons, and when he hears the cannon, his first reaction is to grab it.

"Well..."

"How many? What kind of cannon? ”

"I don't know."

"Where did the news come from? Is it reliable? ”

"I bribed a henchman around the county magistrate...... This unclear piece of news cost me a hundred oceans. If it weren't for the accuracy of the information he provided before, I would have suspected that he was deliberately cheating us out of money. By the way, the head of the family, I mentioned earlier that one of the spies was sent by County Magistrate Fang, and this news was bought from him. ”

In this way, this news is very true.

Wang Shihua thought for a while, and said: "Second uncle, if you contact him again, just tell him what I said, he can only open it for how much, but you must find out the number of these guns for me, and what kind of route is taken." ”

Wang Jiping nodded, but looked at Wang Shihua with some confusion and asked, "Family master, do you want to?" ”

"Well... The gun is still a trivial matter, but the cannon is too important, and it must be controlled into the hands of my Wang family. To put it mildly, even if my Wang family can't get it, I have to destroy it. Speaking of this, Wang Shihua thought of something, and said solemnly: "I'll wait for the response from that side in advance." However, there is another thing that is very strange, it is said that Xiang Dingtian said it in front of me and everyone, if he wants me to see the mountain cannon, then he will definitely try to get it, but we have been secretly visiting for two months, and even the people who have been planted in Xiang's house have been used, but there is no news. What do you think Xiang Jia means? ”

It's nothing more than two points: either Xiang Jia hasn't gotten it yet, or he has already gotten the cannon, and he has hidden it secretly, and he will take it out and use it at a critical moment...... But cannon is a technical job, not real knife and gun practice, and if you don't blow up your own people temporarily, your ancestors will bless you. It's like Pete, this guy now has a consumption target of 10 shells a month, so that the trainees can really practice. For this reason, Pete complained that there were too few shells once he saw Wang Shihua.

Uncle Jiang and Wang Jiping are not immortals, they have no clues, they have no right to speak, and Wang Shihua has to be depressed.

In fact, the Xiang family didn't buy artillery at all, or in other words, they couldn't afford to spend a lot of money to be the head of the wrong: now the shape of China and Japan is becoming more and more tense, and the war is about to break out. Even if there is an indelible love that must be sold, the price is surprisingly high. Moreover, most of the arms dealers are foreigners, and with the withdrawal of most foreigners, coupled with the hoarding action, at this time, the arms on the black market are almost priceless.

After some discussion, everyone dispersed.

It's just that no one expected that what everyone was worried about would come so quickly and urgently, and the real troublemakers were greatly beyond everyone's expectations.

Night......
