Chapter 481 If you want to be a local tyrant, then go to hell and be one.
Zhou Weiguo picked up the teacup, took a sip and smiled, "Of course, the whole family will be responsible for this matter, don't you think, County Magistrate Chen?"
County Magistrate Chen was so frightened that his legs went weak, but when he thought about the fact that he had not colluded with the bandits, his legs did not go weak anymore and he nodded, "Captain Zhou is right."
As they were talking, Tian Jing came over from outside and handed Zhou Weiguo a telegram; "Fourth brother called, the biggest bandit around Huaihua is called Wang Yun, nicknamed Scar, with more than a thousand men under his command, the Four Vajra, the location of this group of bandits is Yuncui Mountain."
"Yuncui Mountain." County Magistrate Chen exclaimed.
Zhou Weiguo looked up at County Magistrate Chen, and saw his expression change drastically. Seeing that the other people also had different expressions, he gestured for Tian Jing to leave and asked, "County Magistrate Chen, is there anything about Yuncui Mountain that you are afraid of?"
County Magistrate Chen stood up again, and Zhou Weiguo motioned him to sit down; "Don't be so polite, just tell me what you want to say."
The police chief next to him saw that County Magistrate Chen was already a little panicked, so he took over the conversation; "Captain Zhou, you don't know that the bandits in Yuncui Mountain would rob the surrounding villages and towns every autumn harvest time. The people in Huaihua and the surrounding areas have suffered greatly from them."
"If that's the case, why don't we wipe them out, but let them grow and become as powerful as a thousand people now?"
Hey……
County Magistrate Zhou smiled bitterly, "Just as Commander Zhou said, the officials and the bandits are colluding with each other. We have launched several encirclement and suppression operations, but have always returned without success."
"It seems that you know who is colluding with them. Tell me, so that I can also know who is the blind man who is pocketing the money."
"There is a Hexi Town at the foot of Yuncui Mountain. The mayor of this town is named Zhao Qiang. Eighty percent of the residents in this town have the surname Zhao. The Zhao family is the local tyrant, oppressing several surrounding towns. In addition, they bully others. We are powerless against them. Even every time we send officials there, we ask them to find a way to get rid of them, or to get rid of them. Helplessly, since the 10th year of the Republic of China, this place has always been ruled by the Zhao family. But..."
"But what?" Zhou Weiguo asked with a frown.
"Although the Zhao family is a local bully, the person they are colluding with is Wang Yun, a bandit from Yuncui Mountain. It seems that they are not the bandits who attacked the transport vehicle. Why did Captain Zhou attack them?"
hum...
Zhou Weiguo took a sip of tea and smiled, "I've heard of killing a chicken to scare the monkeys. Killing these bandits will also serve as a reminder to the people around Huaihua. Do you have the courage to rob or spend? That depends on whether you have the life to do so."
The three of them looked at each other and couldn't help swallowing their saliva, but they were also very excited. If they could really wipe out that group of bandits, it would naturally be the best for the public security in the area around Huaihua.
"Captain Zhou is right. If we want to go to Yuncui Mountain, we have to go to Hexi Town. This Zhao family..."
Zhou Weiguo calmly put down the teacup and said with a smile, "It's easy. It would be best if the Zhao family agrees. If they don't agree, it would be unreasonable for the bandits to go down the mountain and massacre the town. If they don't obey the king's discipline and want to be a local emperor, then... let them go to hell and be emperor."
In Hexi Town, Zhao Qiang, who was already 65 years old and had gray hair, was having a meal when his brother Zhao Lin, the captain of the Hexi Town Guard, ran in and said, "Brother, a regiment of the Central Army has arrived from Huaihua County."
"Come if you want. What does this have to do with us? It wasn't us, let alone Wang Yun, who colluded with the Japanese army to rob the transport vehicle. What do we have to worry about?" Zhao Qiang glanced at his brother and pointed; "You, you are always in a hurry when doing anything. How can you accomplish anything great?"
Zhao Lin sighed, "No, big brother, what I mean is, during this period of time, should we let Wang Yun and his men keep a low profile and not go out to cause trouble? I heard that they brought artillery this time."
"What are you afraid of? What is there to be afraid of? Shouldn't they be dealing with the gang that robbed the transport vehicle? It's really interesting. They dared to rob the military transport vehicle. These people, Ritam, are really sick. You can rob anyone else, but you rob the military transport vehicle. You are courting death."
It is good to have money, but having money but not having the life to spend it is not what Zhao wants.
"Go tell Wang Yun not to come down during this period." Zhao Qiang said and thought for a moment; "The day after tomorrow is the anniversary of our mother's death. Why, your second brother still doesn't plan to come back?"
The second brother, Zhao Feng, was only five years younger than Zhao Qiang. He was opposed to colluding with the bandit Wang Yun, but no amount of persuasion was of any use. In a fit of anger, he went directly to Hedong, bought land there, and set up his own business.
"I went to invite him, but my second brother said that he wanted to leave a descendant for the Zhao family."
"What a bastard." Zhao Qiang was so angry that he smashed his bowl to the ground and said angrily, "He left a descendant for the Zhao family, who does he think he is? You are such a disgrace, if he doesn't come back, then never come back again."
beep...
Zhao Feng went to Huaihua County a few days ago to buy things for his mother's memorial. Although he was separated from his brother, Zhao Qiang did not treat him harshly and gave him some land and money. After he established himself in Hedong, he rented out the land. The rent he paid was less than that of the surrounding landlords, so he had a high reputation in Hedong Village.
He also called back his daughter Zhao Lingling who was studying at Huaihua Girls' Middle School.
The sound of a horn behind him made Zhao Feng turn his head and look over. A motorcycle appeared at the corner.
Those were military motorcycles. He had seen them a few days ago when he entered the city. There were quite a few of them parked outside the city. The soldiers wearing blue-gray uniforms looked completely different from the soldiers guarding the city.
"Dad, this is the Central Army. I heard from my teacher and classmates that the Ninth War Zone where we are is going to launch an attack on the Japanese army, but some bandits have robbed the transport vehicles. They are here to suppress the bandits. I heard there are thousands of them."
Zhao Feng did not listen to his daughter's chattering. His eyes fell on the motorcycles. On the front motorcycle, there were two people, one driving and the other sitting next to it. There was a machine gun mounted on it. Behind the motorcycle was a truck, which also had a machine gun mounted on it. Faintly, he could see cannons, which were as thick as the chimney of his own house.
The convoy slowly approached, and Zhao Feng quickly pulled the ox cart to the side, fearing that it would block the army's way.
Zhao Lingling kept watching the marching troops. She was a little nervous. After all, it was her first time to see so many fully armed soldiers.
At first, her eyes were filled with nervousness and awe, but when a military truck passed by, her eyes were filled with desire.
Compared to her excitement and desire, Zhao Qiang next to her, after looking back and forth at the army's marching route, not only did his lips turn pale, but his calves also became weak.
