Chapter 16 The Old Nine Halls of Songyang Town

"Uncle Zhao, Uncle Dashan, I took a closer look today, the defense of the little devil in Songyang Town seems to be very loose on the surface, and there is no restriction on the free entry and exit of the common people, but the town office and the Jiang family compound are very tightly defended, especially the town office, the commanding heights around it are all arranged with firepower, and it is impossible to get close at all. And the Jiang family's compound originally had strong corner towers in the four corners, which were all defended by people, and they could not be easily attacked. Liu Tianshu briefly told Zhao Dahai and Shi Dashan about the situation of reconnaissance in the town today.

Shi Dashan listened to Liu Tianshu's introduction, just frowned and thought, but he didn't interject, but Zhao Dahai was unwilling.

"Tianshu, according to you, it is impossible to kill the devil commander named Guizuo to take revenge, so is it possible to rescue Mayor Jiang's family?"

He had heard Liu Tianshu say that the devil commander stationed in Songyang Town was named Gui Zuo, but he didn't know that this Gui Zuo was the devil commander he met in Xiaozhang Mountain.

If he knew that it was Guizuo who commanded the troops to pursue them and killed Lao He and Dongzi, he was afraid that he would have killed Guizuo desperately.

Hearing Zhao Dahai's words, Liu Tianshu went through the situation he had detected today in his mind, and then said: "Uncle Zhao, it is impossible to rescue Mayor Jiang's family with only one or two people. Besides, even if people are rescued, how will they be placed? Uncle Zhao, I think it would be counterproductive if you blindly save people if you can't discuss it with the Jiang family in advance. ”

Jiang Shudong was originally the mayor of Songyang Town, according to Liu Tianshu's understanding, there were at least 20 people left in the Jiang family's compound, including subordinates, so many people wanted to be rescued at once, it was not a simple matter, besides, I don't know what those people in the Jiang family thought now.

"Alas, Tianshu is right, in this way, Tianshu, you go for a trip, tell Lao Liu about the situation, and listen to his thoughts." At this time, Zhao Dahai had calmed down from the initial excitement.

"Okay, I'll go find Uncle Liu later." Liu Tianshu nodded in agreement.

Liu Tianshu still admires a person with national integrity like Jiang Shudong, if he can do something for Jiang Shudong, he is naturally willing.

When Liu Tianshu arrived at the house of Liu Blacksmith in Shiqiao Village, it was already ten o'clock in the morning of the next day.

Blacksmith Liu sat at the table, and Liu Tianshu explained in detail the personnel that Zhao Dahai was preparing to save Jiang Shudong's family. Blacksmith Liu smoked with his head bored, and after a while, he said: "I know Jiang Shudong, he has been the mayor of Songyang Town for many years, and he still has some reputation in the town. It's just that I didn't expect him to be willing to die and be generous in the face of the coercion and temptation of the little devils, and this alone is worth learning from. However, saving his family from Songyang is a very important matter, and I have to ask for advice. In this way, three days later, we met in the old Jiutang in Songyang Town. ”

Although Shiqiao Village is not under the jurisdiction of Songyang Town, it is not far from Songyang Town after all, and when it comes to the day of the market, Liu Blacksmith will also go to Songyang Town to sell farm tools and kitchen knives, so he still knows Jiang Shudong very well.

Three days later, Liu Tianshu and Shi Qiang carried five pheasants and disguised themselves as hunters selling wild meat and walked to Songyang Town.

When I walked to the entrance of the town, I saw from a distance that there were fortifications on the hill on one side, and countless Japanese soldiers were busy on the hill. Even at the entrance of the town, a sentry was also set up, with four devil soldiers and six people in black uniforms, where they checked the passers-by one by one.

Seeing this, Liu Tianshu couldn't help but sink, thought for a while, and still walked towards the intersection with the pheasant.

Shi Dashan introduced to him that there are many hunters who make a living from hunting in the mountains around Songyang Town, and when it comes to the day of the market, there are many people who go to the town to sell prey, even if they are locals, it is impossible to recognize them all.

When the two arrived at the intersection, a man in black with a spear on his back stretched out his hand to stop him, glanced at Liu Tianshu and Shi Qiang, and asked in a rough voice, "What are you doing?" ”

"Boss, we are sending pheasants to Lao Jiutang. Look, boss, this pheasant is fat. Liu Tianshu laughed and said to the man in black with a pheasant.

These black-clothed people are actually the team that Han Kui pulled up after defecting to the Japanese, but now the Japanese army has not yet formed an imperial alliance army in the occupied area, and Han Kui's people have no official name at this time, it is okay to say that it is a security group, it is okay to say that it is a pseudo-police, anyway, it is to help the devil do some miscellaneous things such as maintaining law and order and checking pedestrians.

"Send pheasants to Lao Jiutang?" The man in black glanced at the two fat pheasants that Liu Tianshu was holding in his hand, and his eyes suddenly lit up, and he was thinking about taking these two pheasants down to drink two cups at night when the short and sturdy devil soldier came over.

"Yo Siyossi." When the devil soldier saw the pheasant, his eyes immediately narrowed, and he stretched out his hand to Liu Tianshu.

Shi Qiang, who was on the side, saw that the little devil wanted to grab the pheasant, and he wanted to step forward with a glare, but was pulled by Liu Tianshu. At this time, the man in black had already nodded and said to the devil soldier: "Taijun, pheasant, big good, pheasant, big good." ”

Then he turned his head and said viciously: "Taijun said, these two pheasants have been accepted, why don't you get out of here?" ”

As he spoke, the man in black had already snatched the pheasant from Liu Tianshu's hand and presented it to the devil soldier diligently.

Liu Tianshu immediately pretended to be reluctant and said, "Taijun, you haven't given the money yet?" ”

"You still dare to ask Taijun for money? Don't you want to live anymore? Get out of here, or I'll arrest you as bandits. The man in black saw that Liu Tianshu and Shi Qiang still wanted money, so he immediately raised the butt of his gun and made a gesture to fight.

Liu Tianshu made a frightened look and pulled Shi Qiang to walk reluctantly towards the town.

After seeing that he was far away from the man in black and the devil soldier, Shi Qiang turned his head and said to Liu Tianshu dissatisfiedly: "Brother Tianshu, the little devil is too bullying, why don't you teach them a lesson and let them know that we Chinese are not easy to bully?" ”

When Liu Tianshu heard his words, he couldn't help but stretch out his hand, patted him on the shoulder, and said softly: "Qiangzi, there is a saying that if you can't bear it, you will make a big plan, don't forget the purpose of our visit to the town today." Besides, what are the little devils, they are robbers in the first place. What is the reason to talk about with robbers, you remember, when you encounter a little devil in the future, you either don't do it, or if you want to do it, you must be ruthless, and you must not be soft. ”

In the end, Liu Tianshu's tone was full of murder.

Shi Qiang didn't seem to understand, and Liu Tianshu didn't elaborate anymore, but walked straight to Lao Jiutang.

Lao Jiutang is a well-known restaurant in Songyang Town, and it is also a regular customer of Shi Dashan. Liu Tianshu and Shi Qiang arrived at the door of the restaurant, and Xiao Er, who was standing at the door to solicit customers, glanced at Shi Qiang and greeted him affectionately: "Qiangzi, why didn't your father come today?" ”

Speaking of this, he glanced at Liu Tianshu on the side, looked at it and asked, "Qiangzi, is this your relative?" ”

"This is my cousin, Brother Xizi, let's go in." After Shi Qiang said hello to the little er named Xizi, he entered the store with Liu Tianshu.

After handing over the remaining pheasants to the shopkeeper, Shi Qiang went to the street alone to buy things, while Liu Tianshu went up to the second floor and saw that Blacksmith Liu was drinking alone in the corner. He casually looked around, made sure there was no one else upstairs, and walked over.

When the little devil didn't arrive in Songyang Town, as long as it was the day of the market, Lao Jiutang's business was very hot, and there were always a lot of people sitting upstairs, but since the little devil arrived in Songyang Town, the people tried to minimize the time they spent going out for safety, and Lao Jiutang was also a lot deserted.

"Come, Tianshu, have a drink with my uncle." Seeing Liu Tianshu coming, Blacksmith Liu pushed the wine glass in front of him in front of him, took a peanut and put it in his mouth, and then chewed it with taste.
