"Big brother, Ma San, they should come back at this time, will these guys run away with our money?" Li Linge, who was feared by Tian Kui, was sitting in the spacious living room of his home at the moment with his eyes closed, Li Linge's younger brother and several trusted subordinates around him were also here, Li Linge's second brother Li Chenghui was suspecting that something might be wrong with the fast gun team that had not returned for a long time, otherwise it would not have been back for so many days.

"Uncle, what the second master said also has some truth, those people under Ma San are habitual bandits who wander everywhere on weekdays, the amount of goods we shipped to Shanghai this time is not small, and this will be different from usual, we are going back to cash this time, so much money is placed there, even Ma San can't control his subordinates." Luo Yuanshan, known as a strategist under Li Linge, responded to Li Chenghui's questioning.

Ma San, who was raised by the Li family since he was a child, is the head of the Li family's courtyard and the captain of Li Linge's fast gun team. It is not so much that Ma San is the Li family's guardian or a family member, but it is better to say that it is a mad dog in Li Linge's hands immediately, Li Linge said that whoever is cleaned up, Ma San will not hesitate to bring someone to the door to solve that person, and all the affairs of Li Linge and the underworld are Ma San's contact.

Li Linge, who is 57 years old, has seen too many betrayals, and these subordinates who are regarded as his confidants can't fully believe it, on the contrary, he is completely relieved about Ma San, who was raised by the Li family since childhood. "Send someone to the direction of Bengbu to find it, Ma San and they may have encountered something, now there are bandits everywhere and the routs who withdrew from the front, and they have so much money with them." Although his face was as usual, Li Linge's heart was also worried.

Selling tobacco is the main way for Li Linge to make a fortune, from the early days of the Republic of China, Li Linge took a few friends to start selling tobacco to Shanghai and Beiping, to the time he controlled the Mengcheng Chamber of Commerce, Li Linge has accumulated a lot of money through selling tobacco. The merchants who traded with him were all old friends of Li Linge for decades, so Li Linge was not worried that Ma San would get into trouble in Shanghai, on the contrary, he was worried that on the way back from Bengbu to Mengcheng, those routs would not be reasonable.

"Send more people to keep an eye on the refugees and routs who have entered the city of Mongolia these days, and those who have gangs and peers will immediately report back, especially those who eat military rations." The more Li Linge thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong, according to Ma San's temperament, he would never swallow up the money and escape, if there was really a problem, Li Linge preferred to believe that the problem was on the way back. Li Chenghui glanced at Luo Yuanshan vaguely, they didn't expect Li Linge to trust Ma San so much, it seems that the things they planned in private are going to change.

It is true that Li Chenghui is Li Linge's younger brother, but Li Chenghui has been timid and afraid of things since he was a child, and he has no ability to calculate people, so Li Linge would rather hand over some things to his subordinates than Li Chenghui to participate. Now Li Chenghui, who is also a grandfather, does not appreciate it, he does not think that this is Li Linge thinking of brotherhood, but thinks that Li Linge has looked down on him since he was a child, under the temptation of interests, Li Chenghui and Luo Yuanshan hit it off, and began to plot to divide the relationship between Li Linge and other cronies under him, trying to seize power from Li Linge.

Luo Yuanshan was originally an aspiring literati, he also had dreams and ambitions, and he knew that he could not control the affairs of Mengcheng like Li Linge, so he needed to find an ally, and the brainless Li Chenghui became his best choice, after all, Li Chenghui was also the second master of the Li family. Cutting off his minions and then hurting his foundation, and then controlling the Li family in the name of his brother, this is Luo Yuanshan's idea for Li Chenghui, and Ma San, who is like Li Linge's lackey, is the first target they need to get rid of.

"Second master, do you think we should also send some people to pick up Ma San and them?" After walking out of the living room, Luo Yuanshan, who deliberately left behind, muttered quietly to Li Chenghui, Li Chenghui also had some gunmen in his hands, although it was not as many as Ma San's fast gun team, but it was not weak in terms of strength, Luo Yuanshan meant to rob and kill Ma San and the fast gun team in the middle of the road, as long as Ma San and the fast gun team were eliminated, Li Linge was like a broken arm.

"Master Luo, are we really going to be hard? Ma San's fast gun team has been raised by the eldest brother for several years, and the dozen or so crooked melons and cracked dates under my hands can do it? "It's time to kick the door, Li Chenghui is confused, he just wants his eldest brother to look at himself squarely, not to really break with his eldest brother, after all, Ma San is different from ordinary family members in the Li family, which was raised by Li Linge since childhood.

"Second master, those who have achieved great things should make a decision immediately, after this village, there will be no such a good chance, when our people succeed, push the matter to the passing soldiers, absolutely no one will associate this matter with us, you can wait to count the money with peace of mind." Although he secretly scolded Li Chenghui in his heart for his incompetence, Luo Yuanshan knew how to persuade Li Chenghui that using money to talk about things was his means of trying everything.

Sure enough, when Li Chenghui heard Luo Yuanshan talk about the money, his face full of flesh shook a few times involuntarily, and his eyes also showed a look of greed. Li Chenghui, who is like a furnishing in the Li family, has always been quite sensitive to money, and anyone who falls into his pocket will be tempted, including Li Chenghui, who is addicted to money. "That's okay, I'll arrange for some people to go out to investigate, as long as there is news about them immediately, I will ensure that they can't return to the city." Li Chenghui's eyes showed a hint of fierceness, and Luo Yuanshan, who was watching it, couldn't help laughing in his heart.

The Li family sent a large number of people out of the city on the same day, which is rare in Mengcheng, and the people of Mengcheng can't think of anyone who dares to spread wild on the head of Li Linge, the sitting tiger in Mengcheng, although they don't know what evil wind the Li family is smoking, but the people in Mengcheng are secretly guessing whether something big happened to the Li family. The members of the county party department, who had always been at odds with Li Linge, also discussed the matter together, but the new Mengcheng county magistrate had not yet taken office, and the members of the county party department could not help Li Linge.

Liu goats who are still on the way naturally don't know about it, according to the results of Liu goats and Tang Cheng's discussion, when there is still a day away from Mengcheng, Liu goat and others deliberately fell behind, so that the Tian family's carriage took the first step to distance them, villages and towns have begun to appear along the way, Tian Kui and his family are naturally no longer afraid of the refugees and routs on the road, after all, Liu goats and they are following behind, and Liu goats also assigned a few Sichuan soldiers with guns to protect them.

"Doctor Tian, we killed the people of the Li family, if this matter is just us carrying guns and eating food, we don't need to pay attention to it, but it also involves the lives of your family, so we have to be cautious." Liu Goat specially called the sky and whispered, "You just have to go on the road, I have arranged for someone to follow you behind the carriage to protect, and our carriage is not more than 2 miles behind you, enter Mengcheng just go home, I will visit in two days, and no one will know about our journey all the way." ”

Tian Kui could only praise Liu Goat's arrangement, but in fact, since he got back on the road, Tian Kui's heart has been muttering, he was afraid that Liu Goat's strangulation of the Li family's fast gun team would be known by others. If Li Linge knew that their Tian family had come from Fengyang with Liu Goat, they would have spread this evil fire on the Tian family, and they would not be the opponent of the Li family, and if they didn't make trouble, they would end up ruined.

"Don't worry, when Lao Tzu enters Mengcheng, he will go to meet Li Linge who scared you into this virtue for a while, Lao Tzu wants to see if his head is hard, or Lao Tzu's gun is hard." The worry in Tian Kui's eyes was seen squarely by Liu Goat. Since he began to carry guns and eat food, Liu Goat is a character who is not afraid of heaven and earth, especially after entering the 88th Division, Liu Goat's character is even more arrogant to the extreme, if it were not for Xie Bo's intentional suppression and persuasion, Liu Goat may have been famous in the 88th Division.

Tian Kui, who listened to it, has always said that Li Linge is a sitting tiger in Mengcheng, and the arrogance in Liu Goat's personality immediately broke out, according to his usual character, regardless of whether there is a fake bandit or not, after entering Mengcheng, he will go to meet this Li Linge for a while. With the reassuring pill given by Liu Goat, the panicked Tian Kui finally settled down and continued on the road with his family, but Tian Kui on the carriage would look back at the Sichuan soldiers who followed the carriage from time to time, for fear that these people would disappear without paying attention.

The old and young family members of the Tian family were also frightened, they would never have thought that they would fight with bandits in the middle of the road, if it weren't for the protection of some soldiers, these people in their Tian family might have become ghosts and wild ghosts. Tian Kui did not tell his family about the fake bandits, but told his family not to mention the matter of meeting bandits on the road according to Liu Goat's instructions, the old lady of the Tian family is not a confused person, and naturally knows that this matter is not as simple as they heard, and it is not a good thing for the Tian family to be known by others, under the constraints of the old lady of the Tian family, the people of the Tian family have forcibly chosen to forget about this matter.

"Is it delicious?" The closer to Mengcheng, the more villages and towns appear on the road, and Liu Goat, who has a lot of money in his hand, is not a stingy person. Tang Cheng, who had an oily face, was fighting with a fat chicken, looking at Tang Cheng's face full of oil stains and embarrassed eating, Liu Goat, who was also gnawing on chicken legs, couldn't help laughing, only at this time, Tang Cheng really looked like a child who hadn't grown up.
