Chapter 20: Beware of Retribution

"Calm, calm!" Wang Dalun patted He Hu with a knife and said with a smile: "Do you know what it means to be 'a knife for people, and I for fish and meat'?" You, now you're a fish on my board, and you can eat it as much as I want, believe it or not? Don't believe us? ”

He Hu looked at the bright knife and was frightened, he hurriedly said: "I believe, I believe!" ”

"That's right, have you ever heard of the saying 'The wind blows eggshells, wealth goes to people's happiness'? Therefore money is something outside of the body, give me food. Wang Dalun said step by step.

"I want to ask, who said this, I haven't heard of it!" He Hu was confused, when did he have such strange words, and the wind blew the eggshell.

"It's terrible to be uneducated! Master Zhou Xingxing is so classic, you don't know the way? Sure enough, it's not to be cleaned up, I ask you, do you want to give food? If you dare to break out a word, I'll cut you today! Wang Dalun failed to drop the bookbag, and he became angry.

"I'll give! I'll give! What are you doing? Let people bring the food! He Hu shouted.

"Moving food is fake, but moving rescuers is real, right? It's okay, let all your people roll over to me, and bring the food by the way, I'll finish it by hand today. Wang Dalun didn't put He Hu's minions at ease.

"Sun Liu, send a few people over and drive the team over, we will stay here tonight. Also, give me a good look at these people, we want to live in peace, and we can't do without these people. Wang Dalun then arranged.

When everyone took the order and left, Wang Dalun signaled that all He Hu's subordinates would be locked up, and He Hu was left to drink tea with him. Wang Dalun poured himself a cup of tea, smelled it, and said in admiration: "Good tea, it's so fragrant!" He Hu, you enjoy it better than me! ”

He Hu didn't speak, he sat at the table with a blue face, and regarded Wang Dalun as nothing.

"Speak! What does our young master ask you? Dumb? Sulu, who was standing behind him, touched him and scolded.

"Sulu, be polite to the Gang Chief, after all, we are in his house! What are you doing sitting and standing? I think Gang Master He is a smart person and won't do stupid things. Wang Dalun stopped Sulu, but his words were very annoying.

Su Lu snorted, and after carefully searching He Hu's body, he sat down under Wang Dalun with confidence and began to taste tea.

Wang Dalun poured a cup of tea for Su Lu, and then poured another cup for He Hu, and said: "He Gang Master, I will borrow flowers to offer Buddha, I will give you a cup of tea, let's talk by the way?" ”

"I don't have anything to talk to you about!" He Hu's heart was dripping blood, not only was the food gone, but he was also trapped. Hmph, let you be proud first, and the county order will not let you go later.

"Hehe, of course there's something to talk about. For example, let's make a bet, guess when the county order will come, I guess half an hour, what about you? Wang Dalun asked with a smile.

"You, you!" He Hu's thoughts were debunked by Wang Dalun, and he was very surprised.

"Hehe, what a helper, do you think I'm such a reckless person? I don't know if the county commander of Ludao will send troops to rescue you? Let me guess, what would I do if I was a prefectural magistrate? Wang Dalun began to pretend to think.

"Suppression by force, well, no, this group is similar to the army, and it can't be defeated. After all, the county commander is the head of a county, and he is much bigger than me, the head of a small regiment, so I have to give him a little thin noodles. ”

"You know everything, and you still don't let me go? Do you know that Zhang Mingchen, the commander of Ludao County, is my brother-in-law, and if you offend him, it will be difficult to move an inch in Mizhi! He Hu said.

"Then do you know who I am as the deputy envoy of the Disaster Relief Mission? Our Weng and daughter-in-law are anxious for food, you are good, you actually monopolized grain, sold grain at a high price and made a fortune! Do you think I can spare you? Wang Dalun said angrily.

"The surname Wang, don't talk too much, let me tell you, the water in this pond in Yan'an Mansion is very deep, so deep that it can drown people! Not to mention a deputy envoy for disaster relief, even if Yang He comes, he may not be able to go ashore safely! He Hu threatened.

"Really? It's a pity that our husband and daughter-in-law are good at swimming, no matter how big the wind and waves are, they can't sink us, not to mention your stinky ditch, no matter how big the river, no matter how big the river, in front of us, we will not be afraid! Wang Dalun said proudly.

"Really? Then I'll see! He Hu closed his eyes, pretended to be recuperating, and stopped talking to Wang Dalun.

Wang Dalun was not annoyed, he drank tea leisurely. He is familiar with history, and he will not be angry with He Hu at all, because without his own words, they may have fallen to the ground.

After a while, the large army of the regimental training arrived, and just as everyone was arranging defenses, the county commander Zhang Mingchen came to the door angrily with a group of people, and when he wanted to rush in, he was stopped by the guards.

"What kind of person, stand back, dare to step forward, kill him!"

"What a majesty! This official is an official of the imperial court, you come to kill me and try, do you want to rebel? Zhang Mingchen stepped forward as he spoke.

After the "pop" gunshot, I saw that there was an extra hole on the road in front of Zhang Mingchen, and the guard said leisurely: "I don't know who you are, and I don't know my gun!" If you dare to get closer, you will be killed! If you want to go in, bring the name post, and I'll report it! ”

"You, you..." When did Zhang Mingchen encounter this situation, he was so angry that he couldn't speak.

"What are you? Do you want me to report? If you don't report it, just wait. The guards obviously didn't take Zhang Mingchen seriously.

"Good, good! I'm going to see what Wang Hu can explain to me today! Zhang Mingchen angrily handed his name card to the guard.

After a while, I saw the guards come out and said to Zhang Mingchen: "Our young master let you in, if your subordinates want to go in, you have to leave your weapons to avoid misunderstandings." ”

"You..." Zhang Mingchen was angry again, he had never seen such an arrogant person, he just wanted to turn around and leave now, and then mobilize people to kill Wang Dalun and others. But he just thinks about it, he is a cultural person, he has to talk about strategy, after rescuing his brother-in-law, he can play as much as he wants, and the top priority at the moment is to save people.

The guard was expressionless, staring at Zhang Mingchen's subordinates, and he would not let in without handing over the weapon.

"Give them the weapons!" Zhang Mingchen shouted, he was already thinking about how to write an impeachment letter and how to play Wang Dalun to death.

When Zhang Mingchen walked into the lobby angrily, Wang Dalun was leisurely drinking tea, and when he saw Zhang Mingchen, he stood up, arched his hand, and said, "Lord Zhang, it's polite." ”

"Hmph, I can't stand it!" Zhang Mingchen walked up to the first place and sat down angrily.

He sat for a long time, and when he saw that no one made him tea, his face darkened, and he endured his anger and said, "Wang Hu, what do you want?" Do you know that you forcibly broke into people's houses, maliciously injured people, and set up arson for evil, these alone are capital crimes! And it will affect your father-in-law, do you still want to be obsessed? ”

"Lord Zhang, I want to ask, is robbing the imperial court for disaster relief food a felony of robbing the family and exterminating the family?" Wang Dalun suddenly asked rhetorically.

"I haven't received any news, how can someone rob the imperial court for disaster relief? And Wang Tuantou, you said that you came to provide disaster relief on behalf of the imperial court, what is the evidence? What about the letter of appointment? Why didn't I receive the paperwork above? Zhang Mingchen simply denied all accusations.

"Then I didn't break into people's houses, let alone deliberately hurt people. As for my supporting documents, does Governor Yang's order count? Wang Dalun also said in the same way.

"Okay, Wang Tuantou, let's open the skylight and say something, how can you release people?" Zhang Mingchen suddenly went straight to the point and stopped arguing with Wang Dalun. This trick is his specialty, and he often catches people off guard.

"Huh?" Wang Dalun was annoyed by Zhang Mingchen's sudden attack, and it took him a while to react, he said: "People who do wrong things must be punished!" If He Hu handed over all the grain, then forget it. ”

"Wang Tuantou, don't you think you're a bit of a bully? Do you know how much food He Hu has now? Three thousand stones! Do you know how much this grain is worth now? At least 30,000 taels! ”

Zhang Mingchen seemed to have been stepped on by a cat's tail, he suddenly jumped up, pointed at Wang Dalun and shouted. Just kidding, he can account for half of the shares of this batch of grain, thinking about the loss of fifteen thousand taels of silver, it is strange that he is not excited!

"Not so much, right? You're too dark, ten times the price, you're doing evil! Ten taels of silver and a stone of grain, it's so black! Aren't you afraid of having a son without an asshole? "Wang Dalun is staggering, these people are purely making money.

"You don't have to worry about it! He Hu already has three sons, all of whom are alive and kicking. I'll ask you again, how do you want to release people? Don't think about food! Zhang Mingchen said indifferently, he gave the most ultimatum.

"I'm going to make a grain deal! If you don't give me food, He Hu won't want to get out of this door!" Wang Dalun said-for-tat.

"Are you really going to break the net with us? You really can't help you? I'll just write and let Yan'an Mansion send troops to suppress it, I'll see how long you will be rampant! Zhang Mingchen shouted angrily.

"Good! It's going to be a dead fish, isn't it? Let's not talk about whether you can get out of this house, let's just say that you, as a county magistrate, don't think about caring for the people, but hoarding the people, fish and meat, I think which of us will die first! Wang Dalun shouted angrily.

"In this way, let's each make a move, I will call the shots, give you five hundred stone of food, and let you provide disaster relief, this is okay!" Zhang Mingchen retreated, and now the situation is stronger than others, so he has to swallow his anger first.

"No, I don't want five hundred stones, so let's do it, how about I pay for the three thousand stone grain?" Wang Dalun thought about it and suddenly regressed.

"Do you have that much money?" Zhang Mingchen is very suspicious of Wang Dalun.

"I can give it to you right now!" Wang Dalun began to take out the silver tickets from his arms, he counted them, and threw Zhang Mingchen a thick stack of silver tickets.
