Chapter 18: On the River (2)
The first thing Ruan Qi did after breaking into the bridge was to smash the captain who didn't know what was going on with a rifle butt, while the other sailors controlled the sailors on the bridge. After his subordinates tied up the unconscious captain, Ruan Qi signaled two of his subordinates to watch the helmsman, and then asked one of his subordinates to control the telegram on the ship.
In such an era when there is no other means of communication, the Yichang has basically fallen into the hands of Ruan Qi.
Dense gunfire streaked across the river, and most of them were sailors who sensed something was wrong, but from the occasional screams, it seemed that the fate of these sailors was not good.
"Chief, do I want to bring someone to get the passengers together?" Wang Er asked.
"Well, remember, separate them all into the big cabins, and then search out all their belongings, especially the first-class passengers, who are the richest." Ruan Qi, who was driven crazy by gambling debts, only had money in his eyes.
"Understood." Wang Er nodded and walked out with a few of his men.
"You guys take care of them, let's go see if there's anything that slips through the net, and then we're going to get all the passengers together." After Wang Er left the bridge, Ruan Qi said to the three men who guarded the helmsman and the telegraph.
"Got it."
At this time, Yan Guang and the others had already come to the stern, fortunately, there were no bandits in the stern at this time.
After checking the surrounding environment, Yan Guang said to the two accountants. "You two stay here and shoot if any bandits come." Speaking of which, Yan Guang asked. "You're going to shoot, aren't you?"
"Yes." The two accountants nodded at the same time.
"That's good, if you really can't bear it, it's okay to surrender, but if you killed their people before, then it's better to resist to the end." As he spoke, Yan Guang took out fifty rounds of ammunition and gave it to the accountant who was holding the shell gun. "This is a bullet, fifty rounds, it's enough to save a little."
"Hmm." The accountant took the bullet, but looked at Yan Guang and they were about to leave, and hurriedly asked. "What about you, boss?"
"We?" Yan Guang glanced at the two bodyguards. "I'm going to go up and have a look, aren't you afraid?"
"Don't be afraid." The two bodyguards shook their heads at the same time, they were other people's bodyguards themselves, and they took other people's wages, so it didn't make sense to say that they were scared at this time, and they were still very confident in their pistols.
"Then you follow me up, if there are few people in that gang of bandits, we will kill them all, if there are many people, we will hide and see if we can escape..."
A standard landlubber, not afraid of anything on the ground, gets into the water ...
Ahem, that's why he almost drowned when he crossed over, he couldn't swim at all when he fell into the water, and if it wasn't for the luck of holding a piece of wood later, it is estimated that he would have begun to cross for the second time now...
With two bodyguards, Yan Guang climbed onto the platform above the second floor, and there was no one on the platform at this time.
"Phew, let's wait here for a while and hear what happens next." After aiming the gun at the stairs coming up, Yan Guang said to the two bodyguards.
"Hmm." The two bodyguards followed suit and pointed their guns at the staircase.
However, it was clear that the bandits had already known that the platform was empty, so no one came up to check it, but just drove the passengers in the cabin into the larger rooms on the second floor one by one.
Occasionally, gunshots and screams rang out, and it was some passengers who tried to take the guns from the bandits, but apparently they all failed.
After about thirty minutes, the bandits below finally gathered all the passengers and the remaining sailors into the relatively large cabins above. Almost all those who dared to resist on the way were killed on the spot.
A few may be the first time to see blood, more excited, after killing all the resistance, actually want to kill all the ones next to them, if it wasn't for someone next to you, I don't know how many more people would die.
Those water bandits who are pulling are not because of kindness, water bandits, even if Ruan Qi's men have not killed anyone, but more or less they will still see some blood, the reason why they are pulling is just because they are afraid that killing too much will completely anger the government, and everyone will not be able to mix it up at that time.
Until this time, these minions didn't know that their boss didn't want to mess around here at all, but planned to get a ticket to return the money from the gambling house and run away.
At this time, the scene was relatively chaotic, so no bandits had found that the one who was killed by Yan Guang was missing, but even if they were discovered, it didn't matter, after all, these were just a group of bandits who had only robbed fishing boats and small merchant ships, although it was a surprise attack, but in the process of attacking, there were still a few people killed by sailors, so even if they found out, they would only be regarded as killed by sailors.
"One, two, three, four, five, six..."Lying on the top platform, Yan Guang counted the number of water bandits below.
After counting twice, Yan Guang determined the number to nineteen, of course, it was not ruled out that there were water bandits in other positions, but it should not be too bad.
"Boss, what should we do now?" One of the bodyguards asked nervously.
Although he was holding a ten-round shell gun in his hand, the twenty people below were not holding burning sticks, even if they went down and killed a few in a surprise attack now, the counterattack of the remaining water bandits would not make them feel better.
And Yan Guang gave them five yuan a month, which was a little less than the soldiers of the New Army, and it was right to do his duty as a bodyguard to work for him, but those people below had never paid them wages, so why should they work hard for them?
At this time, the bandits below had driven all the passengers into more than a dozen large cabins, and after killing all the doors of the cabins, only six people were left to guard, and the rest were all gathered to collect the finances.
"Let's wait here first and see if there is any chance, if there is any, we will rush down and kill those water bandits, if not..."Yan Guang smiled bitterly. Then let's see if we can blow the wind here all night..."
Saying that, Yan Guang said to the two bodyguards. "You two guard the staircase, shoot anyone who comes up, I'll watch here first, and I'll call you if there's any situation."
"yes, got it." The two bodyguards nodded, then ran to the top of the stairs again, aiming their guns there.
Looking at the passengers below who were led out of the cabin one by one to search their bodies, and then driven into another cabin, Yan Guang sighed. "I'm sorry, but now I can only take care of myself..."
After lying on the deck for more than ten minutes, just when Yan Guang thought that the cold wind would blow here all night, there was a sudden twitching below, followed by a scream.
Just now, it was the turn of a young woman in noble clothes to come out to search her body, Ruan Qi, who was originally standing aside and watching his subordinates, was immediately dumbfounded, and then without saying a word, he wanted to pull the young woman into an empty cabin.
At this time, as long as you have long eyes, you can know what Ruan Qi wants to do, but the sailors on the side just look at it with a smile, while the passengers and sailors who are locked in the cabin dare not speak angrily.
Just when the young woman was about to be dragged into the cabin by Ruan Qi, suddenly another boy who seemed to be a young woman's child ran up, trying to drive Ruan Qi away from the young woman's side, but his two small fists were not even qualified to beat Ruan Qi's legs, and he was kicked open by Ruan Qiyi and hit the guardrail with just two hammers.
"Hushan." The young woman screamed and wanted to rush over, but Ruan Qiyi grabbed her wrist.
"As long as you follow me into the cabin, I will let your son go, otherwise..." Ruan Qi gestured to one of his subordinates, who was originally smiling and watching, and immediately understood, and raised the child who had been kicked down and made a gesture to throw it into the river.
"Otherwise, I'll throw your child into the river and feed the fish." As she spoke, Ruan Qiyin smiled and looked at the young woman's whole body.
The noble young woman in a silk cheongsam highlights her plump figure, as well as her long legs, her melon seed face definitely meets the aesthetic standards of any era, and the most important thing is that her fair skin shines even in the middle of the night. The only pity is the loose hair, but the flaws are not hidden.
The young woman who was coaxing the child to sleep in the cabin felt that something was wrong when she heard the gunshot, and the subsequent gunfire made her realize that something was indeed wrong, and her first reaction to understand how criminal she was to scatter her hair, and perhaps to get some black soot to stain her face (unfortunately not), and then get a set of clothes to cover her criminal figure.
But unfortunately, before she could finish all this, Ruan Qi's men had already searched their cabin.
The young woman blended into the crowd with her head bowed with her child in her arms, but in the end she did not hide from it.
Seeing that the young woman was about to be dragged into the cabin by Ruan Qi, Wang Er, who had just finished patrolling the passenger ferry, ran over and stopped him. "Leader, isn't this going on..."Although he has been a water bandit for more than a year, and he has just shot and killed a few people, in some aspects, Wang Er still sets some bottom lines for himself...
"Hey, Second Brother Wang, what's wrong." A thin man dressed as a minion next to him stood up and laughed twice as he spoke. "I don't think you want to be the first..."
"Hahahahaha..."The surrounding bandits all laughed.
"Boss, don't forget us when you're done enjoying it."
"That's right, this girl is so beautiful, don't forget to let the brothers enjoy it together."
Ruan Qi, who was still a little unhappy because of Wang Er's obstruction, also laughed. "Don't worry, I, Ruan Qi, am not a person who only cares about my own enjoyment, and when I'm done, I'll let you too..."
It's just that after dragging twice, Wang Er stopped in front of Ruan Qi again.
"Didn't you say we don't kill people, Chief? Now that he has killed people for the hijacking of ships, how can he still do such a thing. ”
At this time, the laughter of the surrounding minions also stopped, in fact, they didn't realize that Wang Er really wanted to stop Ruan Qi, so the thin man would stand up and interrupt, originally thought that Wang Er would calm down a little in this way, but they didn't expect to stand up.
Seeing the obviously unhappy expression on Ruan Qi's face, the thin man leaned to the side, and a few people who followed Wang Er slowly moved behind him, Ruan Qi, who was already unhappy when he saw this scene, became even more angry, although he was going to fly away after this vote, but it didn't mean that he didn't mind his subordinates confronting him.
At this time, the young woman's child bit the wrist of the bandit who was grabbing him with his teeth, and when the bandit screamed and let go of him, the boy rushed up again.
Ruan Qi, who was originally a little angry because of Wang Er, picked up Hanyang on the side, and smashed the child's head with the butt of the gun...
