Chapter 20: Becoming Brothers (Happy New Year)

After returning to Pheasant River Collection, Qiao Anbang immediately sent people to inform all the large and small villages and market towns within a radius of dozens of miles in Pheasant River Collection that the news of the public execution of the bandit leader Wei Dexi would be publicly executed three days later.

The news soon spread throughout the territory of Pheasant River Collection, and even some people in several other counties adjacent to Pheasant River Collection also learned about it. As soon as the news of the public execution of the bandit leader Wei Dexi came out, nearly 100,000 people within a radius of dozens of miles suddenly boiled.

Wei Dexi, a gang of bandits in northern Anhui for more than ten years, has done countless bad things, owed a lot of blood debts, as soon as they heard that Wei Dexi was caught, the people celebrated, have spontaneously asked to go to Pheasant River to see with their own eyes the big bandit leader who did evil was corrected.

As a result, the entire Pheasant River set broke out for the second large-scale population movement since the Twist Army Uprising, and thousands of people, the whole village and the whole village, marched towards the Pheasant River set one after another.

If there is a reconnaissance plane over the Pheasant River at this time, it will definitely be deeply shocked by the scene on the ground. On the dirt roads leading to the Pheasant River Collection, you can see people walking in groups everywhere.

…………………………….

Yingzhou, where the security regiment is stationed.

A lieutenant colonel officer was scratching his head in embarrassment, this person was Wang Baoshan, deputy lieutenant colonel of the Yingzhou Security Regiment, standing in front of him a foreign student dressed as a slender and beautiful girl, the girl's watery eyes stared at the lieutenant colonel officer, and he turned his head embarrassedly.

The girl snorted and said, "Brother Wang, you really didn't lie to me?" ”

"Sister Chu Yan, when did your eldest brother Wang lie to you, Tuanzuo really went out to suppress bandits. The day before yesterday, in the area of Pheasant River, there were bandits who were evil, and the security team was difficult to support alone, so the regiment took a battalion to reinforcements. Wang Baoshan replied patiently, his eyes were looking elsewhere, this girl in Tuanzuo has not seen her for a few years, and she has grown from a slim girl to a beautiful little beauty, and she is really getting more and more beautiful.

"Did the big brother say when he would come back?" Chu Yan asked softly with a smile.

"It's hard to say, it will take at least three or four days anyway, if the bandit crackdown goes well." Wang Baoshan replied.

"Why don't I send someone to inform the group and ask him to come back sooner?" Wang Baoshan saw that Chu Yan wanted to roll his eyes, and then asked out loud. Chu Jingming, a younger sister, has been dependent on him since she was a child, and she is deeply loved by Chu Jingming, Wang Baoshan, as a subordinate, can only try to meet her requirements and not let her get angry.

"Well, then it's troublesome Brother Baoshan." Chu Yan smiled slyly, and then left with her luggage.

Seeing Chu Yan leave, Wang Baoshan smiled helplessly and shook his head, and then said loudly outside the house: "Guards......"

………………………………

Pheasant River Collection, Qiao's Compound.

In the hall, the seats were full, in addition to Qiao Anbang and the Qiao family, there were also Chu Jingming, the head of the security group, Yali, Wang Dingsheng and others.

"Third Young Master, this time you can capture the bandit leader Wei Dexi in one fell swoop, you should be the first meritorious, after I go back, I will definitely report to Shangfeng, and ask for merit and reward for you for the third young master." After three rounds of wine and five flavors, Chu Jingming, who had already drunk a little red, smiled and said to Qiao Anbang.

"The commander has won the award, the reason why the bandits were able to succeed in one fell swoop this time is not only because of the wise command of the commander, but also because the brothers of the security team fought for their lives, and Anbang did not dare to take credit." Qiao Anbang hurriedly got up and picked up a glass of dried moss wine and said, "Sir, Anbang will toast you another glass, and do it first." With that, Qiao Anbang raised his head and drank it all, and when he finished drinking, he turned his wine glass downwards to show that he had drunk it all. Since the crossing, Qiao Anbang has not only inherited Qiao Laosan's memory, but also inherited his amount of alcohol, and he has not been drunk even after drinking more than half a catty of moss dry wine.

"Okay, the third young master is humble and cheerful, and he must have a bright future." Chu Jingming admires Qiao Anbang's behavior very much, and he is generous and humble. As he spoke, he stood up and drank his glass, and then laughed again.

"Captain Chu, the old man has a suggestion." Qiao Siyuan, who had been sitting at the table with a lot of alcohol, had a glimmer of light in his eyes, and said to Chu Jingming with a smile.

"Old man Qiao, please speak, Jingming listens." Chu Jingming said loudly.

"Captain Chu and the three dogs are of the same age, and the old man intends to let the dogs and you worship as brothers in life and death, and share weal and woe with you. I don't know what Commander Chu thinks? Qiao Siyuan is worthy of being a businessman who has been in business for half his life, and took advantage of such an occasion to make extremely powerful requests for both the Qiao family and his three sons.

Chu Jingming also admired Qiao Siyuan's personality very much, and he also intended to make friends, plus the three sons of the Qiao family were all extraordinary, Qiao Anbang was even more generous, and one guy gave him so many weapons and equipment and the ocean, even if Qiao Siyuan didn't say it, he was looking for an opportunity to say it.

So, he immediately got up and said, "If that's the case, Jingming is honored." ”

"Anguo, Anbang, Anjia, quick, meet your eldest brother!" Qiao Siyuan stood up and waved his hand.

"Master Qiao, there is no need for this, our brothers can just have a glass of wine together." Chu Jingming said a little embarrassed.

"Why don't you use it, although it is an ancient ceremony, it is not avoidable, worship quickly!" Qiao Siyuan waved his hand and said in a deep voice.

"Big brother!" Qiao Anbang, Qiao Anguo and Qiao Anjia all got up and left the table, walked to Chu Jingming, and all knelt down.

Chu Jingming was moved, and hurriedly knelt down, and said a little choked: "The sky is above, I, Chu Jingming, today say that I and the three brothers of the Qiao family are brothers of life and death with different surnames, not to be born in the same year and month, but to die in the same year and month!" ”

"I, Qiao Anbang, Qiao Anguo, and Qiao Anjia, have become brothers in life and death with Brother Chu, and I don't want to be born in the same year and month, but I want to die in the same year and month!" The three of them said in unison.

"Good brother, from now on, we will treat each other with all sincerity, and share weal and woe!" Chu Jingming's excited tiger eyes were full of tears, and he patted the shoulders of the three of them and said loudly. His parents died early when he was a child, and he has been growing up with his sister, who was also sent by him to study abroad a few years ago, and now has three brothers with different surnames, so how can he not be excited and happy.

"Hmmm! Treat each other with all sincerity, share honor and disgrace! Qiao Anbang said in unison.

At this time, Qiao Wu and Yali brought over the wine they had prepared earlier and handed it to the four of them, and Chu Jingming took out a sharp dagger and cut his fingers into the four wine bowls one by one.

The three Qiao Anbang brothers also did the same, and then the four of them raised their glasses and drank it all, laughed and helped each other to stand up, and the four of them hugged each other tightly.

"Big brother, you don't have to go back so quickly this time, tomorrow we will publicly execute the bandit leader Wei Dexi together to avenge the people who died in his hands!" After Qiao Anbang sat down, he said to Chu Jingming, he had just bowed, so he naturally wanted him to stay for a few more days, so that he could win over and cultivate his feelings.

This year is not the afterlife, after the worship here is closer than brothers, people at this time are extremely affectionate, at this time China is far from the real money society of the later generations, vows like a fart.

Of course, in this era, there is no shortage of villains who betray their brothers without faith, ruthlessness and righteousness, but Qiao Anbang II is a human being, and he can be sure that Chu Jingming is definitely not that kind of villain, he is a brother who can really live his life.

Chu Jingming was just about to answer, but a soldier of the security regiment in the courtyard walked in quickly, stood up and said, "Report." ”

"Come in." Chu Jingming waved his hand.

The soldier walked in and whispered a few words in Chu Jingming's ear, and then Chu Jingming asked with joy, "What you said is true?" ”

"Returning to the head of the regiment, it's true! The news was sent by the passenger seat. The soldier replied firmly.

"Big brother, what's wrong?" Seeing that Chu Jingming was extremely happy, Qiao Anbang asked out in confusion.

"Oh, nothing." Chu Jingming waved his hand to signal him to go out, and then sat down and said to everyone: "Fourth brother, Uncle Qiao, I'm afraid I can't stay and execute Wei Dexi with you." ”

"What? What's the urgency? Qiao Anguo also asked suspiciously.

"There's nothing urgent, my sister, I was sent abroad to study a few years ago, and now I'm back, I haven't seen her for several years, since I was a child, our brother and sister have depended on each other, so I want to go back early." Chu Jingming explained happily.

"Oh, this is a good thing, big brother, you can rest assured to go back, Wei Dexi's affairs are with me and my second brother." Qiao Anbang said with relief.

"Yes, big brother, you can rest assured, everything is with us." Qiao Anguo also patted his chest with a voice.

"Okay, Uncle Qiao, second brother, third brother, and fourth brother, I will leave for the time being, and we will have a good drink together." Chu Jingming returned to his heart like an arrow at this time, and bowed his hand to everyone.

"Well, be careful on the road." Qiao Siyuan nodded, and then said to Qiao Anbang and the others: "Anbang, the three of you brothers send Jingming." ”

"Yes, Dad!" Qiao Anbang and the three of them answered, and then got up and walked out of the hall with Chu Jingming.
