Chapter 576: What a poisonous move!
As the saying goes, 'it is easy to go from thrift to luxury, and it is difficult to go from luxury to thrift', for Zhao Dahu, who was once a ruffian. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info When he joined the 'Einsatzgruppen' and acted as an executioner to kill those people and revolutionary families, it was more because of a desire to change his fate.
Now you are the respect of a county, and you have a ticket to protect yourself when you travel on weekdays, and your family is full of wives and concubines. Zhao Dahu feels very satisfied with this kind of life, and at the same time feels very cherished.
It is this kind of power in the hands of a county that makes Zhao Dahu lose the bloody courage that he once had as the pioneer of the Einsatzgruppen. But he still retains that brutal and cold-blooded heart, suppressing all people and things that may pose a threat to him.
At present, I know that He Zhengdao and his party have problems, and the way from them is doubtful. But Zhao Dahu still didn't dare to go in person, so he still asked the housekeeper to go on his behalf, first touch the details of the other party, and then decide the corresponding countermeasures.
Zhao Dahu, who held the post of county magistrate of Huang'ancheng, still knew a little more about the recent Japanese attack on Wuhan than the common people. Moreover, he had received instructions from above to strictly investigate the Japanese spies who might confuse the cities.
As for the Eighth Route Army, which has been operating in the Dabie Mountain area recently, it is still more focused on surveillance. In the absence of definite evidence, and without evidence to prove it, these Eighth Route Army were not allowed to take action against the Eighth Route Army casually before they engaged in sabotage.
Such a notice also gave Zhao Dahu a very direct reaction, that is, the Eighth Route Army, which was adapted from the Red Army, is now only afraid that it is a little different from before. Although Hubei is now in Hubei, it still belongs to the national control area.
But at present, the central army is retreating one after another, and the national control area is also constantly shrinking. On the contrary, the Eighth Route Army, which entered northern Shaanxi during the Long March, continued to grow in strength, and also fought several great victories that thrilled the people.
This kind of cognition made Zhao Dahu even more worried, if the thigh he was hugging suddenly fell down one day. For a person like him, who is heavily indebted, the end will undoubtedly be very tragic.
In those years, the Red Army was engaged in fighting local tyrants and dividing up the land in the Dabie Mountain area, and Zhao Dahu also heard about it. To put it bluntly, even if Zhao Dahu wants to die at that time, the Eighth Route Army may not give him this opportunity.
The more this happened, the more Zhao Dahu was worried that the Eighth Route Army would retaliate against him. Even the military commander boss who was far away in Wuhan gave him reassurance. But Zhao Dahu still understands that there are some things that can't be saved from far water.
If the Eighth Route Army is really determined to get rid of him, for a dead person, even if he is a county magistrate, the military commander and the national government may not make great efforts to investigate a dead county magistrate who has no use value.
Therefore, for Zhao Dahu, the military command and the national government are just his backers, but if he wants to survive, he must rely on these people around him. Because these people are closely linked to his interests.
Once Zhao Dahu dies, these people who rely on Zhao Dahu to make a living and live a good life will face the consequences of losing their backers and being settled by others. For this reason, these people are also very attentive to Zhao Dahu.
After receiving the news provided by the two ruffians, Zhao Dahu muttered a few words to the housekeeper, and the Zhao housekeeper said with understanding: "Master, don't worry, I will handle this matter properly." When the time comes, I'll be kind to their families! ”
Wait until Steward Zhao takes a guard team from home, and at the same time finds the city defense patrol team on duty. The two ruffians who had been placed in the side courtyard by him and were still waiting for their reward had turned into warm corpses when they came out.
Looking at these guards, who were also hired by Zhao Dahu with a lot of money, Steward Zhao said with a calm expression: "There is a caravan with a background in the city today, and the master asked us to explore the details of the other party."
The old man explained earlier, no matter who comes to our Huang'an, then you must be honest. But this caravan, as soon as it came to the city, killed two outposts of the Three Wolves Gang, which is tantamount to provoking the prestige of our master.
Wait a minute, everyone come with me, go to the Welcome Guest Inn and talk to those caravans with a background. No matter who it is, the person who killed us in Huang'an City will give us an explanation after all. But no one is allowed to shoot without my orders! ”
'Yes, butler! ’
Perhaps in Zhao Dahu's opinion, it seems a little lacking in confidence to find a caravan that can issue a pass from the Fifth War Zone for the sake of two ruffians who have just been beaten. But if it's dead, there's a reason!
As the head of a county, a death case in the county seat under the jurisdiction of Zhao Dahu is still two lives. Even if someone above will come down to investigate, I believe that Zhao Dahu will have a reason to shirk. After all, it's something he's qualified to manage.
Not long after, a guard standing guard outside the mansion walked in and said, "Chief steward, the commander of the Zhu Company of the city defense battalion has arrived, and all the troops of a company have been assembled. And as you would like, the hostel has been surrounded. ”
'Okay, then let's go!' ’
With Steward Zhao with dozens of guards who had also seen blood, until it was time to welcome the guests. The shopkeeper of the welcoming inn undoubtedly has a feeling of being scared. Let Zhao Dahu keep an eye on it, and if you don't die, you have to shed your skin!
With the two young men, the innkeeper said a little sweaty: "I don't know if the butler Zhao came late at night, and he missed the distance." I don't know if the big butler came here so late, but what's offensive about the shop? ”
Not really! It's just that there were two murders in the city, and the county lord asked me to come over and investigate. The notice of the previous county lord,I believe your inn has also received it.。 Are the people who live in your East Cross Courtyard still there? ’
'Here's it! When they checked into the inn, I had already reported it to the police station, and they also took out their passes, identity registration, etc., and we did it all. Could it be that the big butler is here to find them? ’
'Nice! Previously, two men from the Three Wolves Gang died innocently, and when the city defense battalion was patrolling, they found that the group that lived in your East Cross Courtyard where they died happened to come out of that place. What about people! Call them in! ’
Knowing that this caravan was only afraid of a lot of trouble, Steward Zhao didn't dare to act directly. What's more, he had already sent someone out to investigate. At the gate of the East Cross Courtyard, the caravan was also guarded by two gunners.
In addition, there are lights on the courtyard, and people can be seen patrolling the courtyard from time to time. If they break through, there will really be some conflict, and if the other party is big, I am afraid that it will also cause trouble for Zhao Dahu.
As soon as he heard that the murder case was involved, and the caravan of the inn was involved, the innkeeper complained in his heart, but he also didn't dare to say anything. Even the shopkeeper knew in his heart that the so-called Three Wolves Gang was actually a thug raised by Zhao Dahu.
There is any dirty work that Zhao Dahu is not good to do, most of it is done by this gang. If there is any trouble, Zhao Dahu will send a police station or city defense battalion on behalf of the official to arrest some minions to act as substitutes for the dead ghosts.
can be said to say, whether it is reasonable or not, it is Zhao Dahu who has the final say. For this situation, anyone with a little brain in Huang Ancheng knows it. But on the bright side, no one dares to say that the Three Wolves Gang is Zhao Dahu's.
When the shopkeeper had a bitter expression and came to the East Cross Courtyard to explain the situation. The special combat team member who acted as a dart master also said directly: "Wait here!" I'm going to talk to our shopkeeper! Wait! ”
Even the East Cross Courtyard was not allowed to enter, and the special combat team members directly reported the news to He Zhengdao, who was resting in the courtyard and receiving the telegram. Knowing this, He Zhengdao was also a little surprised.
But after thinking about it, he sneered: "What a poisonous move!" With the death of two ruffians, it is clear that they will come to us for trouble. It seems that this Zhao Dahu, in addition to being cold-blooded, is somewhat scheming.
Xu Hao, you go out and talk to them. In a word, let them come up with evidence, and their attitude can be a little arrogant. Since it wasn't Zhao Dahu who came, just a housekeeper, he directly slapped me back.
Shun told the housekeeper that he wanted to find out the bottom of Lao Tzu and asked Zhao Dahu to come over in person. If they dare to break in, arrange two snipers and warn me. In addition, let someone inform the independent battalion of the 42nd Army to come over at that time.
I've already had the intelligence team contact the people of the independent battalion. I will personally greet Sun Lianzhong about this matter at that time. When the time comes, let that independent battalion pull a company of troops over and support us for the field. ”
'Yes, I see!' ’
Originally, he wanted to touch the bottom of He Zhengdao, but Xu Hao directly took the three special combat team members and walked to the inn lobby very calmly, and saw the Zhao housekeeper who was drinking tea, as well as the Zhao family guards who looked very tough.
Without waiting for this Zhao housekeeper to speak, Xu Hao said directly: "You are the housekeeper of the county magistrate?" ”
'Are you?' ’
'Don't ask me who I am!' It seems that the temple is really a little demon, when will you dare to bring so many people to check our bottom. It's a joke to say that he committed a murder. What qualifications do you have? ’
After some sarcastic words, Zhao Da Butler, who was also used to being a powerful man in Huang An, was a little unhappy in his heart. Some of the guards who knew that Zhao Da's housekeeper was Zhao Dahu's cronies seemed a little impatient.
As a result, as soon as these guards opened their mouths, Xu Hao said with sharp eyes: "What's the matter?" Even you chickens and dogs dare to bark your teeth at us. If this Huang'an City is yours, you can let you have the final say. ”
After snapping his fingers, the three special combat team members who followed Xu Hao, one of them held two guns and pointed at the guards. As for the other two, it was a submachine gun equipped with the Central Army for one person.
The three of them, facing the dozen or so people brought into the inn by Butler Zhao, did not feel nervous at all. As for Steward Zhao, seeing this scene, he also knew that these people were really not good.
If there is a real fight, he doesn't know if these people will die. At least he can be sure that he will definitely not survive if he is so close to Xu Hao. These people, at first glance, are all iron-blooded men who have been in battle for a long time!
When the guards on standby outside also poured in. The guards suddenly discovered that on the second floor of the inn, several light machine guns had suddenly been erected. In such a scene, the innkeeper who stayed on the side was also frightened and weak.
If he really wants to fight, he can't open this inn, and he probably won't be able to leave Huang'an City alive! (To be continued.) )
