Chapter 298 Coercion (3)
Zheng Yihu was simple-minded and thought that the words of the Wang brothers were very reasonable. After all, the Wang family had been in Wangjiazhai for more than 20 years, so they should have some foundations. Overseas Chinese are outsiders, and strong dragons are hard to fight the snakes. Therefore, Zheng Yihu fully believed that the Wang brothers could find internal support in Wangjiazhai. So they had to gather troops to attack Wangjiazhai at that time.
The Wang brothers were also shocked and hurriedly stopped Zheng Yihu because their brothers knew what the Eight-Nation Alliance is, what about the German army stationed in Qingdao? Didn’t they suffer a great loss under the command of overseas Chinese? To put it bluntly, it is not enough for overseas Chinese to get a fuss. If you want to take revenge, you can only seize a loophole and catch the overseas Chinese off guard when the defense of overseas Chinese is relaxed, so that you can have a chance to win. Only now that the Wang brothers have been fleeing for more than a month, how is the situation in Wangjiazhai? How many people’s army is still there in the village. If the People’s Army is stationed in Wangjiazhai and does not leave, then Zheng Yihu will take the team and take it to death?
However, this could not be said directly to Zheng Yihu. Wang Kefu had to tactfully express it. It would be better for his brothers to go back to Wangjia Village twice to find out the truth and contact the insider. It would be not too late for Zheng Yihu to send troops to attack Wangjia Village again.
Zheng Yihu didn't think much about it because even if the bandits robbed, they had to step on the plate and explore the way first. Therefore, it would be nice for the Wang brothers to go back and ask for it first. So Zheng Yihu immediately agreed and gave the Wang brothers 200 taels of silver. He also sent ten more capable people from the parcel to help them. The Wang brothers were now using money to use people, so they did not refuse and took away the money and people.
After leaving Zheng Yihu's village, the Wang brothers were very happy, but they also knew that they were actually driven out by the government in Jiaozhou County. Although they were not officially expelled, they could not blatantly return to Jiaozhou City, and brought back more than a dozen bandits. If the government knew about it, there would definitely be no good results. Therefore, the group had to find a dusk and sneak into Jiaozhou City when the city gate was about to close, and spent ten taels of silver to enter the city.
Although the Wang brothers left Jiaozhou City, they still kept guarding the house, so that they would use it as a stronghold to take revenge in the future. Although Wang Kefu's house was not big, these more than ten people could squeeze in, and it was still OK. Moreover, the Wang brothers were very generous in their actions, serving them with good wine and meat every day. Every three or five days, they would call a few girls from the brothel to accompany them for fun, but they would not let them go out for activities.
These ten people also knew that they were all bandits. If the government knew their identity, they would not only not be able to survive, but also implicate the Wang brothers. Wang Kexing was a son-in-law from the village and was half the master. He had to listen to his orders. Since there were good wine and meat every day and girls to accompany him, he was happy to be happy in Wang Kefu's house.
After stabilizing these ten people, the Wang brothers began to inquire about the news about Wangjiazhai. At this time, the two had been fleeing Wangjiazhai for nearly two months, and they didn't know the current situation in the village, so the two changed into ordinary people's clothes and sneaked back to Wangjiazhai to inquire about the news. However, the two were very jealous of the People's Army, and the villagers of Wangjiazhai knew them several times, so they did not dare to rely on leaving Wangjiazhai.
At this time, the time travelers carried out a large-scale land reclamation in Wangjiazhai, which made the trend very big, alarmed all the towns and eight towns, and attracted the residents of the neighboring villages to watch the fun. The Wang brothers were also mixed with the villagers, watching the fun and inquiries. However, most of the villagers in other villages were only interested in the machinery used by the time travelers to open up land, but they didn't know much about the situation in Wangjiazhai, and they basically turned to the falsehood and came from hearsay, so they did not have much value to the Wang brothers.
The essence of the Wang brothers is farmers, with limited knowledge and experience, and eager to take revenge. They are not interested in the machinery used by time travelers to open up land, nor do they realize the great value of it. They just wanted to inquire about how many troops overseas Chinese have in the village and how to set up defenses, but after watching the land for three days in a row, they did not find out any news.
It is obviously not possible to continue investigating this way, so the two brothers had to discuss countermeasures again. Wang Kexing advocated arresting a villager from Wangjiazhai Village for interrogation. Because there were many people who opened up land, it was not too difficult to find an opportunity to catch a villager. However, Wang Kefu stopped it because he was too risky to do so. If he did not catch anyone, he would be noticed by overseas Chinese. Be vigilant, and he would ask the Jiaozhou government to arrest him. The Jiaozhou government was afraid of overseas Chinese, so he would sacrifice his brother to please overseas Chinese.
Wang Kexing also knew that overseas Chinese were definitely not easy to fool. The last time traveler set up an ambush, which led to his own deception and almost lost his life, was still scared, so he did not persist.
The brothers discussed for a day, but they didn't come up with a good idea. Instead, it was Wang Kefu who stayed in Jiaozhou's housekeeper who provided them with important information. It turned out that when their brothers went to inquire about the news, the housekeeper found that Liu An was selling meat in the meat market one day, and he bought a lot of meat and loaded a large cart. Of course, the manager did not dare to arrest Liu An. He asked the owner of the butcher shop and found out that in the past ten days, every three or four days, Liu An and Wang Gui would take turns to the city to buy meat. This time it was Liu An, and the next time it was Wang Gui.
This is a good news that fell from the sky, because this is in Jiaozhou City, and overseas Chinese probably dare not do anything randomly. Therefore, it is of course much safer to catch people in the city than outside the city. Moreover, the Wang brothers are very familiar with Wang Gui. This person is famous for being timid and afraid of things in Wangjia Village. He can't beat a single piece of goods with only three sticks. If he catches Wang Gui in the city, he will definitely ask a lot of things, or even scare him, and maybe even ask Wang Gui to go back to the village to find out the news for him.
In addition, the back door of Wang Kefu's house is a small alley leading to the butcher shop, and it is very evasive. Therefore, the two brothers decided to set up an ambush in the alley first to intercept Wang Gui. If Wang Gui does not walk through the alley, he will intercept Wang Gui halfway when Wang Gui bought the meat and went back.
As a result, things went very smoothly. The two Wang brothers successfully blocked Wang Gui and his group in the alley. They were scared and confused. They cleaned up Wang Gui and posted the situation of Wangjia Village that he knew, which gave the Wang brothers a basic understanding of the current situation of Wangjia Village. At the same time, they also took Wang Gui's eldest son Wang Qing as a hostage and forced Wang Gui to go back to Wangjia Village to inquire about the news for him.
After the matter came to an end, Wang Kexing asked Wang Kefu: "Second, do you think Wang Gui is reliable? Will he go to inform the overseas Chinese?"
Wang Kefu shook his head and said, "I don't know. Wang Gui was famous for being timid and afraid of things in the village. Besides, his son was taken to us as hostages. He went to report to overseas Chinese. Even if we were apart, his son would not want to survive. Is it so difficult that he didn't want his son's life? Moreover, Wang Gui is also a famous good man in the village. His family was not very good, and he also took in three children. Can he bear his son's life?"
After hearing this, Wang Kexing nodded repeatedly. If he talks about chopping and killing, he is of course stronger than Wang Kefu, but if he finds a way, Wang Kefu will be much stronger than him. This time, he can only be smart and not capable of fighting overseas Chinese, so he mainly relies on Wang Kefu to make the decision.
At this time, Wang Kefu said: "Brother, please send someone back to the village to deliver a letter to Zheng Yihu, and ask him to come with his troops immediately. I have a way to attack Wangjia Village."
Wang Kexing immediately asked, "Second, what are you good at?"
Wang Kefu said: "Now overseas Chinese are developing wasteland. The food for the whole village is made by Liu An and Wang Gui. Even the food for overseas Chinese who stayed in the village is made by them. In this way, we have the opportunity to start. You will send someone to invite Zheng Yihu to send troops. I will go to the pharmacy in the city from tomorrow morning to buy medicine, whether it is poison, laxative, or **. If there is no or not enough in Jiaozhou City, I will go to Gaomi and Jimo County to buy it, just wait for Zheng Yihu's men and horses.
When we arrived, we handed the medicine to Wang Gui and let him put it in the soup for dinner. At night, even if the whole village was not poisoned to death, they would be exhausted and weak. At that time, we would attack again. No matter how powerful the overseas Chinese were, they would probably be powerless and could only let us slaughter them. In this way, we could at least avenge our father, and then we would raise up hidden treasures and go far away to build a foundation. At that time, even if the overseas Chinese came to the army again, we would not do anything to us."
After hearing Wang Kefu's plan, Wang Kexing was immediately happy and clapped his hands and said, "Second, you can do it. This is really a good idea. I think it will work. Okay, I will arrange for someone to go back to the village to inform Zheng Yihu."
Wang Kefu nodded and said, "Brother, I will go to buy medicine tomorrow. I may go to Gaomi and Jimo. Therefore, you will take care of the family affairs. I am not worried about other things, but Wang Gui's brother cannot make mistakes. Not only should he be careful, but he should also eat and sleep well."
Wang Kexing was a little confused and said, "What's the matter with this little boy? Why would you kill him with one knife? Could it be that you plan to let him go?"
Wang Kefu laughed and said, "We can't take action now. We still have to use this little boy to threaten Wang Gui? So we can't touch him in the past few days, but we have to raise him well. If Wang Gui comes to the city again, we can meet them. Seeing that his son is safe and has not suffered any crime, Wang Gui will do more to help us do things. You must know whether it will be successful this time depends entirely on Wang Gui. When the big thing is done, it will not be too late for us to do it."
