20 years of the Republic of China

Chapter 284 Gun barrel, pen barrel

"Mr. Wang, please sit down quickly. There was such a misunderstanding just now. Why didn't you say earlier that you were from the Jiang family?"

Master Wei sent away all the tenant farmers, leaving only the housekeeper Lao Ding and his family as companions. He closed the door and personally helped Nan Feng sit on the armchair.

Although he is not an old friend online, after all, he has frequent contacts with grain stores and banks in the provincial capital. He knows that the Jiang family is not a good person and must not be provoked.

However, what Nanfeng didn't expect was that the old man was not only afraid of the Jiang family, but also inexplicably respected them.

After being asked, Mr. Wei quietly praised: "Young Master Jiang is a capable man! A few years ago, the two men of the Bai family used to be dogs for the little devils. They were the biggest traitors in Fengtian, and they ruined their family." .I heard that it was Young Master Jiang who killed their family. What is this? Hero! The Bai family should be killed, well done!"

Wang Zhengnan couldn't help but feel ashamed after hearing this, thinking that you only know one thing but not the other!

It's just a dispute between rivers and lakes, a few personal feuds, how can there be so many so-called righteous actions.

But the blind eye can't control so many loopholes, and the rumors are passed on, and how many dirty things are beautified into justice for heaven.

Since the old man had elevated Jiang Lianheng to this position, Wang Zhengnan couldn't help but try to undermine Brother Dao in front of outsiders. After a few words of confrontation, he quickly dropped the subject.

"Uh... Mr. Wei is flattering. In fact, Brother Dao doesn't have three heads and six arms. He is an ordinary person like everyone else. The Japanese are too powerful. Even Zhang Laoga can't defeat them. Of course Brother Dao also has difficulties."

"Of course, it's difficult for everyone because of the little devil's threats and inducements!"

Wang Zhengnan sighed: "So, if you want to continue to live in Fengtian, you can only find ways to deal with it, and you can't go head-on."

These words suddenly reached the heart of Mrs. Wei's heart. The old lady hurriedly said: "Master, look at it, let me tell you! The Jiang family is such a powerful force and they don't even fight against the Japanese. Why should we bother to provoke them?" ?”

There was a trace of disappointment in Mr. Wei's eyes: "Mr. Wang, listening to what you just said, does it mean that Jiang Shaoxia also wants me to sell the land? Then what did you mean when you said you wanted to help me?"

"No, no, no, whether to sell the land or not is your family's own business. Brother Dao doesn't want to get involved." Wang Zhengnan quickly explained, "The reason why I advised you to sell the land just now is mainly to test whether Mr. Wei is firm." . If you are not firm, Brother Dao will leave it alone, lest you sell Brother Dao again after being kind enough to help."

Mr. Wei nodded silently, and did not do anything like swearing to the heavenly alliance. He just stood up with his knees and whispered: "Mr. Wang, please come with me."

Wang Zhengnan stood up and followed the old man into the back room with a confused look on his face.

When I lifted the curtain, I saw a twenty-four or five-year-old girl sitting on the bed.

"This is my little daughter." Mr. Wei introduced.

Wang Zhengnan bowed and greeted in a low voice: "Oh, hello, Miss Wei!"

The girl's reaction was very strange. She had a very confused look on her face. She turned her head and stretched her neck towards Nanfeng.

The young master of the Wei family immediately walked to the kang and said loudly: "Second sister, he is here to help our family!"

The girl smiled politely and immediately lowered her head, quite embarrassed.

Wang Zhengnan was confused - is he deaf?

"A few years ago, I had a kid deaf me in one ear." Mr. Wei said with a gloomy face, "He also had a broken leg."

When old things were brought up again, the old lady took out the handkerchief from her collar, with runny nose and tears, and sobbed softly.

Mr. Wei is considered an open-minded man. The second lady was studying in the provincial capital a few years ago. When she had nothing to do, she often went shopping in the annex to buy things. By chance, she met some Japanese hooligans who teased and amused her. When the second lady refused, she was severely beaten.

It was useless to report the case in the annex to the police. Instead, the Patrol Bureau gave the Wei family a scolding, saying that they did not understand the difficulties of the authorities, provoked the Japanese people, and caused trouble for them; they also advised them to consider the overall situation and not cause trouble, lest the Japanese take the opportunity to attack. .

No choice but to consider yourself unlucky!

"We were already engaged, but as soon as this incident came out and I became disabled, the engagement was naturally broken off." Mr. Wei said bitterly, "It's been quiet recently. In the past two years, there were rumors from far and near that I was Wei. The girl at home was ruined by the Japanese."

"Master, why are you talking about everything outside!" Madam immediately complained, "You said something that didn't happen in the first place has spread again! Are you hoping that our daughter will not be able to think about it or something?"

"Things have already happened, what can't be said? I am raising the daughter of the Wei family by myself, and she is not married yet!"

When Wang Zhengnan saw this, he hurriedly said: "Mr. Wei, Grandma, don't worry, I'll let you know it's over."

Mr. Wei waved his hand: "I let you see this, just to let you understand that I, Wei Yuanning, can never let the devils get their wish! When they were building the railway, they inexplicably occupied more than ten acres of my land and beat my daughter. Now I still want to There is no way to steal my ancestral property!"

At this time, the housekeeper Lao Ding came forward and advised in the same old tone: "Master, you can't go all out! If you go all out, there will be nothing. You can't just think about the second lady, there is also the young master!"

The old lady also said: "Yes, the incense of the Wei family cannot be cut off!"

Mr. Wei looked at his hard-won son and thought, "If that doesn't work, let him go hide with his brother-in-law first."

Unexpectedly, the young master wiped his face and said, "I'm not afraid. If the devil comes hard, I will avenge my second sister!"

Mr. Wei didn't know whether he was sad or happy for a moment, and he said inexplicably: "They are from my old Wei family!"

The old lady almost lost her breath and cried: "If you don't stop him, you are still fighting the fire. Are you a father like you?"

The family was noisy. Seeing that he didn't have much time, Wang Zhengnan hurriedly stepped forward and interrupted, saying: "Mr. Wei, it's not me who said anything. If the devils really come to you, what can you do? Just rely on those tenant farmers and shotguns, Shit fork?”

Mr. Wei said: "I still have two guns at home, which were left by the elders to protect the family."

"Two?"

"Uh... It's a little short, but it can scare them away. I've tried it before." "Mr. Wei, that's because the Japanese didn't really come here before. If they really get pushed, your two guns won't be able to protect them." Home, on the contrary, may give people an excuse to harm their own family members.”

"That's it. How about Mr. Wang helping us?"

"How about this!" Wang Zhengnan slapped his thigh, "To be honest, Brother Dao has about ten spears in his hands, all of which are imported. The ones my uncles used in the war are always a bit older, but It has been well maintained and equipped with enough bullets, so it will still work well. If Mr. Wei is interested, Brother Dao has said that he can sell it to you at a low price."

"Okay, okay! I'll buy it, I'll buy it!" Mr. Wei agreed repeatedly, "Now that the world is in chaos, it's time to buy more guns."

When the old lady heard this, she was frightened to death on the spot.

"Oh my God! You are really planning to fight the Japanese to the death. You can't survive this day!"

Wang Zhengnan waved his hand and said: "Grandma, my Dao brother said that you can do without the gun, but you can't live without it. It's not easy to use it when you get on the sedan and pierce your ears and eyes."

Mr. Wei flattered him: "You're right, you're right!"

"Of course, Brother Dao didn't sell you the gun because he wanted you to fight the Japanese." Wang Zhengnan continued, "My sister-in-law also gave you an idea."

"Mr. Wang, please speak."

"My sister-in-law said that if you want to keep your territory, guns alone are useless. You have to think of ways to make the matter bigger. It is best to make the matter big enough to be published in the newspapers. As soon as this news comes out, there will be public pressure on the Japanese side. A two-pronged approach. , it is possible to preserve your family’s ancestral property.”

The same thing, receiving attention and not receiving attention, will show two completely different results.

Wang Zhengnan continued: "Second Miss has gone to school and has nothing to do at home. You might as well write a few more articles and anonymously submit them to newspapers in the city. Brother Dao will also help you stir up this matter. Why? Sample?"

Mr. Wei repeatedly praised: "Good! Good! Good! It is indeed a way. You can give it a try."

"However, no one dares to say how effective it will be. It depends on the attitude of the Japanese."

"Ouch! Don't say that. Young Master Jiang can help me so much, it's already interesting enough."

Wang Zhengnan cupped his fists and saluted, "Mr. Wei understands Brother Dao's difficulties. It's enough to say good things to him. Don't tell anyone except those you trust."

"Of course, I understand." Mr. Wei asked tentatively, "Then when will the gun be delivered?"

"At six o'clock this evening, arrange for a few reliable people, not too many, to wait at the east end of the village. Brother Dao's gun will be delivered to you at that time."

Mr. Wei thought for a while and said to the housekeeper: "Old Ding, then you can take Erlangzi and the others over there to get the guns."

"Master, how do you calculate the money?" Butler Ding asked.

In response, Wang Zhengnan pulled out a list from his sleeves, handed it over and said, "The guy and the price are all here, including the bullets. Which one do you want and which one don't you can tell me now."

Mr. Wei didn't dare to bargain anymore at this time. He waved his hand and said: "Don't look at it. I can still afford a dozen guns. Just think of it as me being a high-ranking person. I want to make friends with Jiang Shaoxia and promote business."

"Mr. Wei, be happy! In this case, if nothing happens, I will go back first. Remember, don't make any announcements before you get the goods!"

"Mr. Wang, why are you so anxious? Let's stay and have a casual meal together!"

"No, I have to go back to meet Brother Dao. However, before I leave, I have to ask Mr. Wei for something."

"you say!"

"You scold me."

"What?" Mr. Wei was suddenly confused.

Wang Zhengnan smiled, but said: "You have to do the whole thing when you are acting, and you have to scold me a few times."

…………

Outside the gate of the house, Zhang Zhengdong was dressed as a coachman, waiting for the south wind to come out as if nothing had happened.

Shi Erlong led several tenants to surround him, yelling and driving him away.

"You bitch traitor! What are you looking at? Why are you scolding you? You are an embarrassment to our ancestors, so get out of here!"

No matter how vulgar and insulting the people were, Zhang Zhengdong just turned a deaf ear. At most, he could only reply in a muffled voice, "I'm just a driver. There's no point in shouting at me."

Shi Erlong coughed a mouthful of thick phlegm on the ground, pointed at it, and shouted: "Lick it! Damn it, if you pull a cart for a traitor, then you are also a traitor!"

It's a pity that Dongfeng's temperament is different from that of West Feng. He says whatever others like and doesn't take it seriously at all.

"Are you licking it? You're not licking it, are you? Come on, folks, come with me and smash his car!"

Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, there was a sudden "pop" in the house.

Then, Mr. Wei's yelling and cursing came from the yard.

"Get out! Tell Jiang that as long as I, Wei Yuanning, am still breathing, this land will always belong to my old Wei family!"
