Chapter XXVIII
When Xie Shen and his entourage arrived at Wangjiazhai in a cart, Lu Yuan was sitting comfortably in a chair at the gate of Wangjiazhai Mansion drinking herbal tea, and the six Imperial Association soldiers he forced down were cleaning up the corpses and bloodstains while counting the amount of food and materials left in the office according to Lu Yuan's request. As for the two fat-headed and big-eared Imperial Association Army cooks, they had already taken the two oceans that Lu Yuan had rewarded them, and they were happily running to the back to prepare for food.
Killing people on the street, and it was the Japanese soldiers stationed in the public office who were killed, and the people in Wangjiazhai felt that the sky was about to fall. Can the Japanese soldiers be easy to provoke? It's definitely not easy to mess with, otherwise why would the Nationalist Government have no way to take the Japanese? The people in Wangjiazhai felt that Lu Yuan had brought them trouble, but none of them dared to come to the public office to reason with the leisurely Lu Yuan, because Lu Yuan had a gun in his hand, and that thing could kill people.
So even if Lu Yuan killed all the Japanese soldiers in the public office and sat at the gate of the public office to drink tea, the entire Wangjiazhai was dead silent, everyone was secretly watching, but no one was the first to stand up and negotiate with Lu Yuan. Xie Shen and the others were led all the way to the public office by the guards of the Sun family, and at a glance they saw the weapons and ammunition neatly stacked outside the gate of the public office, and on the table in front of Lu Yuan, there were also some foreign banknotes and gold and silver jewelry.
"Well, here, let's take a break and drink some tea, I've already arranged for someone to cook, let's stay here tonight." Seeing Xie Shen and the others coming, Lu Yuan didn't get up, but just nodded lazily at everyone in the chair. Waiting for Xiao Zhenghua, who had gauze wrapped around his shoulders, to get off the horse, Lu Yuan called him to his side, "Those things on the table, you take them first, it's our expenses along the way." After a while, I'll give you two of you, and you can walk around here with them, and buy some things that we can use on the road. ”
Lu Yuan piled the money and jewelry on the table so openly, how could Xie Shen and the others not see it, but Xiao Zhenghua didn't speak, just nodded, and then went into the office to look around, and found a cloth bag to put all the things on the table. Lu Yuan put so much money and jewelry here, and he would also want to give Xiao Zhenghua a try, but he didn't expect that Xiao Zhenghua had never had an accurate concept of money.
"Mr. Xie, there is a well in the yard, and there is a stove room in the backyard, you had better organize the students to boil some hot water to take a bath, from tomorrow, we may not have such a good opportunity." You don't have to take the things off the cart now, we have to get back on the road tomorrow anyway, and we'll have to reload them in the car when the time comes. Seeing that those students were getting together chatting and chatting, Lu Yuan's heart was irritated for no reason. After a moment of silence, Lu Yuan got up and walked to Xie Shen's side and whispered a few words to the other party.
Lu Yuan's reminder made Xie Shen suddenly realize that they were just staying here for one night, and they really couldn't afford to move everything off the cart. Turning around and nodding at Lu Yuan, Xie Shen shouted to the students over there, "Come over here, a few of you male classmates, I have something to tell you." Xie Shen didn't call all the students to his side, but only called the male students, and after a few words, Xie Shen asked Huang Dashan to take the male students to the backyard to boil water.
"Miss Sun, I think, it's time for us to talk about it, right?" Waiting for Huang Dashan to leave with those male students, Lu Yuan walked slowly to Sun Minghui's carriage, Sun Debiao wanted to stop Lu Yuan, but was stopped by Sun Minghui in the carriage. Looking at Sun Debiao who was across him, Lu Yuan suddenly laughed, "Captain Sun, I just want to make some things clear to your eldest lady in advance, so as to save unforeseen situations when you are in a hurry." ”
The methods that Lu Yuan used in the depths of the woodland, Sun Debiao may not be able to forget it in his life, he has been in the rivers and lakes for many years, and he knows that offending someone like Lu Yuan may cause trouble for a lifetime. But he is now serving the Sun family's rice bowl, and the eldest lady of the Sun family is in the carriage behind him, no matter what, Sun Debiao does not dare to let Lu Yuan get close to the carriage easily. Lu Yuan looked at Sun Debiao quietly, and just when Sun Debiao was about to be unable to support it, the curtain of the carriage behind him was lifted from the inside, and the pale Sun Minghui took the initiative to come out of the carriage.
"Miss Sun, I have no relationship with your Sun family, and your Sun family is a businessman, and I am just a gunman, if it weren't for Mr. Xie and these students, we might not have crossed paths in this life before." Lu Yuan didn't care that Sun Minghui was a woman, so he took out a cigarette and lit one as he spoke. "There is still a long way to go from here to Shanxi, and there may be Japanese troops, national troops and even bandits along the way, and dangers like today may still appear."
When he said this, Lu Yuan stopped his words and dusted off his cigarette ashes, and at the same time glanced at Sun Minghui. Seeing that Sun Minghui bowed his head and was silent, Lu Yuan continued, "The Sun family's convoy is up and down, and there are only four of you left at the moment, if I choose to part ways with you, it will obviously be a little unsatisfactory, not to mention that Mr. Xie and those students may not be willing." Therefore, there are some things that I need to make clear to Miss Sun in advance, so as not to cause unforeseen trouble between us when the matter comes. ”
Lu Yuan's words were all stopped in Sun Minghui's ears, but Sun Minghui never made a sound, just quietly listened to Lu Yuan's words. "Of your three guards, I will leave you alone, who is responsible for protecting you closely. The remaining two must be under my command. I mean, after you nod your head and say yes, they will bite and accept my command, everything will be carried out according to the regulations of the army, and the worst result of violating the order may be shooting. Lu Yuan's voice was not small, his words were also heard by Sun Debiao, and Sun Debiao, who was slightly stunned, quickly reacted, and looked at Sun Minghui without blinking.
Sun Debiao naturally didn't want to accept these requests made by Lu Yuan, and once he had to accept Lu Yuan's orders, he might be killed. Sun Debiao looked at Sun Minghui without blinking, hoping that Sun Minghui would refuse Lu Yuan, but Sun Minghui did not speak, but nodded slightly at Lu Yuan, which was considered to be agreeing to the requirements that Lu Yuan had just made. Sun Debiao's heart instantly cooled half, he was already a disobedient character, if it fell into Lu Yuan's hands, how could he still have a good one?
As if he knew what Sun Debiao was thinking, Lu Yuan suddenly turned his head and glanced at Sun Debiao, and just one glance had already made Sun Debiao break out in a cold sweat. "Since Miss Sun, you have agreed to my conditions, then I can't be too stingy, Miss Sun's previous reward can be regarded as a joke." Lu Yuan finally paused, nodded slightly to Sun Minghui, and then turned to leave.
Lu Yuan's last sentence had already made Sun Debiao stunned on the spot, Sun Minghui had promised to take out forty percent of the profits of the goods to thank Shen and others, when the goods were loaded in Tianjin, Sun Debiao was staring at them one by one, and he naturally knew how much profit was from forty percent of this batch of goods. But Lu Yuan made an understatement of joke, and he didn't want the forty percent profit, Sun Debiao immediately couldn't turn a corner, he had never seen a person like Lu Yuan in his life.
"Don't think about it, he said don't want it, people are people who do big things, and they don't look down on our little money." Waiting for Lu Yuan to walk away, Sun Minghui, who had not spoken just now, sighed slowly. can take Wangjiazhai alone, Sun Minghui knows that Lu Yuan is not an ordinary person, and it is better to be friends with such people than enemies, so Sun Minghui even gritted his teeth and agreed to the conditions that Lu Yuan proposed just now.
After taking care of Sun Minghui's side, Lu Yuan completely relaxed, returned to the original chair and sat down, and Lu Yuan called the squad leaders among the prisoners of the Imperial Cooperative Army. "You've been stationed here for more than a month, so you must have dealt with the local gentry, right? I will now give you a chance to make meritorious atonements, and now take me to find those who have colluded with the Japanese soldiers among the local gentry, and find one, and I will let go of two of you, and if I find two, I will let you all go. ”
The conditions given by Lu Yuan could not be regarded as unfavorable, and under Lu Yuan's lure, these prisoners of the Imperial Association Army quickly explained to Lu Yuan the situation of the local gentry in Wangjiazhai. "Hero, only the Wang family is the only one who colludes with the Japanese soldiers here in Wangjiazhai, but the Fan family in the west of the town has bought bullets from the Japanese soldiers, and I heard that the second young master of the Fan family is a translator for the Japanese army, and his family has three long guns and two short guns."
"The Wang family is a tyrant here, and when we haven't come yet, the Wang family has something to do with the national army here. Later, the national army left, the Japanese came, and the Wang family got in touch with the Japanese again. Last month, when we first came here, Lieutenant Ogasawara who led the team also went to Wang's house, and I heard that the Wang family gave Lieutenant Ogasawara four gold bars. The squad leader of the Imperial Association Army, who had a knife face, told everything he knew, especially the situation of the Wang family.
After Lu Yuan pondered for a while, he immediately stretched out his hand and casually pointed at the two Imperial Association prisoners, "You two, now go to the Wang family and the Fan family respectively to spread the word, and say that I invited them to come to the public office to discuss matters." If the two of them refuse my invitation on the basis of their relationship with the Japanese, you might as well tell them directly that I can kill all the Japanese here and all the living people in their family. You two don't have to be polite to them, just tell them what I said as it is, if you can't shrink back, I will kill people, abandon my family and run away, and I will kill people as well. ”
