Wu Xiaosan had no choice but to walk to the door of the bun shop by himself, and said to the shopkeeper: "Shopkeeper, you first write down the account of the police team, put it on credit, and then go to the police team to get the money." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

When the shopkeeper heard it, isn't this a trick? The big yamen of the police force, who dares to go there to ask for an account! I had to pretend to be smiling and say, "Captain Wu, our store is a small business, and we really can't afford it!" ”

"That's easy?" Wu Xiaosanyi took out the gun and put it on the bun table, "I'll put the gun on first!" ”

The shopkeeper saw that this was a gun, and he was obviously here to find trouble, so he hurriedly said good things again: "Captain Wu, if it were normal, I would honor you." But in this year of catastrophe, there is really no way to take credit for a small business? ”

Those policemen were originally some guys who oppressed the people and took advantage of the looting, and if they didn't look for trouble for three days, they were like dropping a lot of things. Before the deal was negotiated, their black hands reached out to the bun cage, this three, that five, gobbling it up.

The shopkeeper has to talk to Wu Xiaosan about business again, and he has to protect the buns in the cage, so his energy is not enough. These policemen, usually five or six buns are enough, but today they are too hungry, and more than ten buns are not enough.

How can anyone still have the energy to care about Chai Long! Chai Long thought, if he didn't leave at this time, let alone when, he quickly slipped away quietly.

Chai Long endured hunger and returned to Qilipu, Han Xing, Wang Xiu'e, and Li Shaoqing were waiting for him uneasily, and they were relieved to see Chai Long come back safely. Li Shaoqing brought two vegetable nests and a piece of old pickles, and arranged for Chai Long to eat.

While eating Wowotou and drinking water, Chai Long told Han Xing and Wang Xiu'e the story of this time against the police team. Han Xing nodded again and again after hearing this, and said, "Okay, no matter how twists and turns, the final result is that we didn't let the police team take away a grain of food, which is also our big victory." ”

Li Shaoqing stabbed Chai Long and said: "Anyway, eating buns is to record the account of the police team, why don't you eat a meal of buns and come back?" ”

Chai Long shook his head and said: "If they don't prosper, is it easy for the bun shop to make a deal, it's good now, it's a loss!" ”

Before Chai Long's meal was finished, a red gun member at the door came to report: "Report to President Chai, Li Jiwen, the head of Houzhuang Township, wants to see him?" ”

Chai Long frowned and said, "I have no relationship with this Li Jiwen, what is he doing here?" ”

Han Xing also felt strange and asked, "What is the character of this Li Jiwen?" ”

Chai Long said: "I heard that it's okay, and he is also an enlightened gentleman." Qilipu belongs to Houzhuang Township, and Houzhuang Township and Yuhuangmiao Township belong to the pseudo-four districts of Liaocheng. If you don't go to the Three Treasures Hall if you have nothing to do, he will have something to do, will we see it or not? ”

Han Xing exchanged opinions with Wang Xiu'e and said, "How do you know what he's doing if you don't see him?" Since he, the head of Houzhuang Township, can give up his body and come to the small village of Qilipu to meet you, the president of the Red Gun Society, we might as well meet him and see what he has to say? ”

Chai Long said, "Okay then! Then he said to the Red Gun member who sent the letter, "I would like to invite Township Chief Li." ”

Han Xing and Wang Xiu'e exchanged glances, and Han Xing said to Chai Long, "Let's avoid it." ”

Chai Long said: "I don't think there is any need to avoid it, just say that it is from the Red Gun Club of Qilipu." We don't have a post on our heads, how does he know that we are a communist. I'll ask for advice when I get there. ”

Han Xing glanced at Wang Xiu'e and said, "Okay then." ”

After a while, Li Jiwen entered the house under the guidance of the Red Gun Society, and saw that he was in his forties, medium-sized, with a tanned face, wearing a blue robe, and a pair of short-sighted glasses.

Li Jiwen entered the room, and everyone quickly got up from their seats to show respect. Li Jiwen arched his hand first and said to Chai Long: "Brother Chai, you have a meritorious service, you not only drove away Qi Zixiu's troops, but also drove away the police team. You have really made a great contribution to Qilipu, and also to the villages in the area of Wulipu and Sanlipu! ”

Chai Long knew that this Li Jiwen was a pseudo-township chief, why did he also do things for the Japanese, and said tentatively: "Alas, there is no way now, it is really a father and a mother to marry, and everyone is in charge of everyone." In the year of the catastrophe, both offended the people of Qi Zixiu and offended the Japanese, if they did not do this, the villagers in the Qilipu area would only have to wait for death. ”

Li Jiwen said again: "Listening to what you mean, it's as if you've made a big mistake. ”

"yes!" Chai Long said: "Township Chief Li, are you here to praise me or are you here to ask the teacher for sin?" Just drove the police team out of Liaocheng, you may know about this. Are you afraid of getting you in trouble!? If you have something to say, just say it, right? I'm a person who likes to drive pigs in the alley -- straight to the point. ”

Li Jiwen said loudly: "I'm not here to speak for the Liaocheng government. President Chai knows, and I know, how many people will survive this year's catastrophe. Qi Zixiu is here, the Liaocheng government is coming again, the northern boundary of Tangyi has become a no-man's land, and if we continue to toss, we will soon become a no-man's land here. In this way, not to mention that ordinary poor people can't stand it, even the landlords and rich peasants are also tossed poor. For one term as an official, for the benefit of one party, let alone for the benefit, it would be good to be able to keep our Houzhuang Township from starving to death. Now, there is no other way for us in Houzhuang Township, only like you Qilipu, the whole village has one heart, several villages have one heart, and the whole township has one heart, unite and refuse to pay for food, so that we can survive and leave a breath. If we don't join forces, it's a dead end......"

Han Xing listened to Li Jiwen's words, how could they be similar to the ideas of the Communist Party and the Eighth Route Army, and couldn't help but glance at Wang Xiu'e. Wang Xiu'e also glanced at Han Xing, not knowing whether this Li Jiwen's words were true or false.

Chai Long hurriedly said to Li Jiwen: "Township Chief Li has come so far, it's hot and thirsty, pour a bowl of boiling water for Township Chief Li first." Li Shaoqing hurriedly poured a bowl of half-cold and unhot boiling water from a jug for Li Jiwen to drink.

Li Jiwen drank the bowl of water in one go, and said, "I came today to ask President Chai for something?" ”

"Oh-" Chai Long woke up, it turned out that he had said such a bunch of nonsense, and had spent so much spit, it was all foreshadowing, and the next step was the main topic. Chai Long hurriedly said: "Where did Township Chief Li go, I am a small villager, Township Chief Li is the head of a township, where is there anything to ask for?" ”

"Is that so?" Li Jiwen clenched his fists with both hands, arched his hand to Chai Long and said: "I represent Houzhuang Township, in fact, Yuhuangmiao Township also means this, please ask President Chai to be the Red Gun President of the Fourth District." Please look at Li, for the sake of Houzhuang Township, Yuhuangmiao Township, and the face of all the fathers and villagers, please take on this important responsibility, right? ”

Due to the suddenness of the incident, Chai Long was not mentally prepared for a while, and suddenly stood up: "This ...... This...... This...... The entire four districts, 50,000 or 60,000 people, protecting them is not a trivial matter! ”

Li Jiwen added: "I have discussed with some squires and representatives of the people in Houzhuang Township and Yuhuangmiao Township. Those who have money contribute money, and those who have power contribute, that is to say, the squires and rich families contribute money and guns, and the poor have no money to contribute, develop the power of the Red Gun Society, and fight for a way for ourselves. ”

Chai Long asked knowingly: "Our four districts, but the four districts of the Japanese, if the Red Gun Society is developed, it is needless to say that they will resist Qi Zixiu." What will we do if the Japanese come to distribute the food? ”

Li Jiwen said: "Didn't I say it earlier! Now our four districts can no longer withstand any toss, no matter which side of the people come to distribute food and money, we have the Red Gun Society, and we will refuse them to distribute money arbitrarily. ”

Chai Long fell into deep thought, so to speak, this pseudo-fourth district is about to become a red base......

Han Xing also fell into thinking, although this Li Jiwen is a township chief of the pseudo-fourth district, but when they do this, they have turned the entire pseudo-fourth district into a red gun club. The entire puppet Fourth District can use the Red Gun Society, a feudal sect organization, to refuse all apportionments from the Japanese and Qi Zixiu's troops, in this case...... Isn't it almost the same as the ideas of the Communist Party and the Eighth Route Army!

How could this Li Jiwen be like this? …… Thinking about it, there can only be such an explanation, and even the grassroots personnel of the puppet government representing the gentry class have seen it: in this year of natural disasters, coupled with the man-made disasters of Qi Zixiu and the Japanese, whether rich or poor, they have survived to the limit. No matter how much self-protection is lost, there is only the same as the no-man's land in the north of Tangyi, where the rich and the poor either starve to death, or abandon their families and careers and leave their homes.

Chai Long glanced at Li Jiwen, then at Han Xing, and said, "This matter, Teda, I have to think about it." I also have to discuss with the red guns of Qilipu, Wulipu, and Sanlipu, right, and listen to their opinions? ”

"That's, that's ......" Li Jiwen nodded again and again, "But President Chai, it can't be long, I'll wait for you for two days." Now Houzhuang Township, Yuhuangmiao Township, the entire four districts are in dire straits. The sooner they unite, the four districts will be able to kill fewer people one day sooner, and one day later, as soon as the people on both sides come to rob, they will take away a lot of food, and many people will starve to death. President Chai, please look at the life and death of the fathers and villagers in the fourth district, it is better to take on this important responsibility as soon as possible. ”

Li Jiwen said this, and everything that should be said has been said.

When Han Xing saw this Li Jiwen, no matter what was in his bones, at least on the surface, he was thinking about the people of the fourth district. Hurriedly arched his hand to Li Jiwen and said: "Township Chief Li, although you are the head of the fourth district of the Japanese, your mind is all on the people of the fourth district, which is really admirable!" Rest assured, as long as Township Chief Li considers the people of the four districts, people will not forget Township Chief Li? ”

Li Jiwen was talking to Chai Long, and suddenly saw Han Xing also come up to interject, knowing that this was not an ordinary person, he hurriedly arched his hand to Han Xing and said, "This virtuous brother, what do you call it?" ”

Chai Long hurriedly introduced: "This is the master specially invited by the Red Gun Society, and I will be called Master Han in the future." ”
