20 years of the Republic of China

Chapter 633 Conflict
The deal went smoothly. Mr. Shen called the accountant to inspect the goods and settle the payment on the spot. The sound of abacus clacking immediately began.

Haichaoshan stood not far away with his gun, still with a stern face.

Jiang Lianheng secretly looked at the master and servant.

But Master Shen was leaning on his crutches with a calm and composed look; Hai Chaoshan's eyes were fixed on the rifle in the hunter's hand.

No matter how you look at it, the two of them are doing their jobs and there is no threat to each other.

However, after experiencing the strange phenomenon last night, the normal situation before my eyes seemed a little abnormal.

The Shen family was doing business, so Jiang Lianheng naturally couldn't just stand by and watch. He simply walked up to a few hunters and gave cigarettes to everyone with a smile.

Although they seemed a little confused, they were happy to accept it.

"We are all good brothers...are we all Koreans?"

The hunters lit up their cigarettes, smiled innocently and nodded.

"It's not easy to come here from Changbai Mountain. Why are you selling furs here?" Jiang Lianheng asked nonchalantly, "Is the market not good over there?"

The Koreans looked at each other, obviously not understanding what was said. Only one of them walked forward blankly and corrected the question seriously, "Baekdu Mountain."

Jiang Lianheng ignored him and asked, "Do you often hang out in this area?"

However, before the Korean stick could respond, Haichaoshan walked over first.

He didn't say anything, just stood there and stared. It couldn't even be considered eavesdropping, it was obvious that he was just monitoring her.

"Brother Hai, do you smoke?"

Jiang Lianheng pretended to be casual and did not show any dissatisfaction.

No, the cigarette had already come out, and Hai Chaoshan raised his hand and refused: "No."

"That's okay!"

Jiang Lianheng turned to look at the hunter, and then asked: "Brothers, I used to know a few Koreans, and I want to ask you about them - Li Zaichun, do you know him?"

The Korean man shook his head, a confused look in his eyes.

Jiang Lianheng changed his tone and repeated in a sonorous and powerful voice: "Li Zaichun, Simida!"

"do not know……"

"What about Choi Young-jeong?"

"Have not heard……"

Seeing that the furs were about to be counted, Jiang Lianheng couldn't help but feel a little anxious. After racking his brains for a long time, the name of the young man finally popped into his mind.

"What about Park Tae-hoon? Do you know him?"

This time, the Korean guy finally reacted, but the confusion in his eyes turned into vigilance.

At the same time, Haichaoshan also became inexplicably nervous.

He had never heard of these names, but he got a clue from the hunter's reaction and became a little suspicious.

"So we know each other?" Jiang Lianheng laughed and said meaningfully, "I know what you guys do. My name is Jiang——"

Before he could finish his words, the leader immediately denied it, "No, I don't know him."

Then, he quickly walked towards the Shen family's accounting office and asked hurriedly: "Have you finished the calculation? We are going back."

"All right, all right!" The accountant took out a few stacks of silver dollars, handed them over, and said, "Here I'll count them for you."

"no need!"

The Korean bastard snatched the silver dollar, without even looking at it, and immediately put it in his arms. He said "thank you" and turned away in a hurry. No one could stop him.

Jiang Lianheng wanted to ask a few more questions, but when he was about to chase after him, he was suddenly blocked by Hai Chaoshan.

"Boss Jiang——"

Hai Chaoshan asked in a hostile tone: "How many of them do you know?"

Unexpectedly, Jiang Lianheng was not a person who was easy to deal with. He had been enduring it before, but now he finally showed his displeasure.

"Why, whether I know them or not, does it have anything to do with you?"

"It doesn't matter, but I'm the armed captain of the Shenjiadian Lianzhuang Association. If you want to live here, it has something to do with me."

"Hmm? You're just a watchdog, are you qualified to order me to leave?"

"Who are you scolding?"

Hai Chaoshan, holding the gun, stepped forward aggressively.

Seeing this, several other armed team members in the village, along with a group of young tenants, also gathered around.

In the blink of an eye, a dozen strong men approached.

However, everyone obviously underestimated how much Jiang Lianheng had seen.

Even though the person who came had bad intentions, Jiang Lianheng still stood with his hands behind his back, unmoved, without a trace of fear in his eyes.

At the same time, Zhao Guoyan, Yuan Xinfa, Yang Lazi and others immediately ran over and protected him behind them.

"Dad, what's wrong?"

Brothers fighting tigers, father and son go into battle.

Haichaoshan's three sons picked up their machetes and sticks and followed closely to ask for an explanation.

"What's the matter? What do you want to do?" Zhao Guoyan shouted, "Do you know who our boss is? Can you afford to offend him? Stop being stupid!"

The third son of the Hai family responded sharply, "I love you so and so, you are the king of heaven, you have nine lives, what are you pretending for! The emperor is far away, it's useless to mention people in our Shen's store!"

"Click——"

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the crisp sound of a bolt being pulled.

Xiaoqing, the daughter of the Hai family, picked up the earthenware and aimed it at Zhao Guoyan's head. She said angrily, "Third brother, go and beat him up. I don't think he dares to move a muscle!"

Zhao Guoyan never hits women, and he has never thought about hitting a woman, but when the situation comes, naturally there is no longer any consideration, and he subconsciously draws his gun to fight back.

Just at this moment, a scream suddenly came from the warehouse.

"Oh my God, what's going on?"

Mr. Shen came over hurriedly, leaning on a cane, looking extremely panicked.

"Chaoshan, get out of here right now. Boss Jiang is a guest. What are you doing?"

The old man stood between the two of them, looking around, not having time to ask the reason, he was just busy talking and persuading.

"Hey, hey, hey, I just went to the warehouse, how come you guys got into trouble? Chaoshan, ask your daughter to put down the gun! Boss Jiang, they are all country folk, they have never seen the world and don't understand the situation. If they have offended you in any way, can't I apologize to you if you give me some face?"

Jiang Lianheng was still furious, and said coldly: "Master Shen, your armed forces are really too lenient!"

Hai Chaoshan snorted coldly: "It's not that I'm too nosy. My duty is to protect the Shen's store. How can I protect it if I don't understand the situation?"

"You...what are you talking about?" Mr. Shen was confused.

Hai Chaoshan ignored him and continued, "Boss Jiang, I'm just asking if you know them. I have no ill intentions. Do you have to be so excited?" "Do I need to answer you?" Jiang Lianheng asked back.

Mr. Shen was caught in the middle, listening with one ear and the other, and finally he gradually understood what was said, but he dared not offend anyone.

"Chaoshan, Boss Jiang is a well-known figure in Fengtian. He has many connections and friends. What's so strange about this? You think too much. Tell your daughter to put down the gun quickly! I... my words are useless, right?"

The old man was so anxious that he kept banging his walking stick, looking pitiful and a little bit crying.

Hai Chaoshan glanced at him, and his attitude seemed to soften, but at the same time he also made his position clear.

"Boss Jiang, you want to track down the bandit Hu and save face. I have no control over this matter, and I can't control it, but there is one thing -"

At this point, he paused, then said solemnly:

"Don't bring trouble to our Shenjia store. You have earned face, so you can just leave. The bandits won't dare to go to Fengtian to cause trouble for you, and in the end, it will be us, the elders and villagers, who will suffer. Other than that, you can do whatever you want, and I, Hai Chaoshan, will not ask any more questions!"

After saying that, he turned around and left.

Only after hearing this did Jiang Lianheng finally believe that Haichaoshan really had no ill intentions.

Everything he did was out of his duty as the armed captain of the Shenjiadian Lianzhuang Association.

Mr. Shen was still trying to smooth things over, laughing dryly and saying, "Chaoshan, Boss Jiang is very powerful, he will definitely not implicate our Shen's store. He is just staying here for a few days and will leave after that. He has no intention of doing business with us at all. Am I right, Boss Jiang?"

Jiang Lianheng did not respond.

"Supernatural powers?"

Hai Chaoshan stopped, turned around and looked at Mr. Shen, as if he was looking at a young boy.

"The bandit problem in Guandong has been going on for decades. The imperial court sent people to solve it, the Russians attacked, and the Japanese attacked, but it still didn't solve it. Why should I believe he can solve it?"

"No one said that Boss Jiang can solve it. I mean Boss Jiang won't bring trouble to us!"

Mr. Shen tried to make amends, but Hai Chaoshan didn't believe it at all.

"There are dozens of people on a hilltop, at least several thousand. Who can guarantee that they can be cleared out? Even if they are recruited as soldiers, who can guarantee that they will not become bandits again? What if there is one left alive and wants to take revenge in the future? He hides in Fengtian City and doesn't take it seriously. Then our fellow villagers will suffer!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire villa suddenly became silent.

The old, the weak, women and children all stopped what they were doing.

Old ladies with bound feet no longer make shoes, middle-aged women no longer wash clothes, and half-grown children stop playing...

Everyone's eyes were fixed in this direction, looking at Haichaoshan's back.

Yes, when a gang of hundreds of people passes through the border, how could there be no disturbance at all, unless they are divine soldiers sent from the sky?

Everyone in the surrounding area kept silent.

Ultimately, it's the fear of retaliation.

Hai Chaoshan reiterated, "The villagers don't have good guns and artillery. It's not easy for the Shenjiadian Lianzhuang Association to make a name for itself, and it's even more difficult to keep peace with the bandits on the ground. We have just lived in peace for two years. Boss Jiang has revenge to take, and I just hope you don't get involved with us."

After saying that, he clasped his fists, turned around and left.

"Xiaoqing, put the gun down!"

"Dad, I don't think that boy is a good person!"

The girl still pointed her gun at Zhao Guoyan. If she said there was no personal grudge behind this, no one would believe her.

"lay down!"

Haichaoshan roared again, and Xiaoqing gave up angrily. Before leaving, she did not forget to curse Zhao Guoyan.

"What are you looking at? If you keep looking, I'll dig your eyeballs out!"

Zhao Guoyan didn't think of her as a woman. When he saw the girl put down the gun and walk away, his hand, which was originally across his chest, slowly dropped down.

Both sides exercised restraint and did not allow the situation to deteriorate further.

Mr. Shen came forward with a big smile on his face and whispered to comfort him: "Boss Jiang, don't bother with him. Country people are like that. They make a mountain out of a molehill!"

"No, I think..." Jiang Lianheng muttered to himself, "What he said makes some sense."

"Boss Jiang is indeed very generous and magnanimous!" Mr. Shen stepped aside and said respectfully, "Come on, Boss Jiang, let's go upstairs and rest!"

At this moment, Zhao Guoyan suddenly remembered something and said hurriedly, "Boss, stay at Mr. Shen's place tonight. I'll go out and tell Liu Kuaitui and the others."

Jiang Lianheng glanced at the time and saw it was almost three o'clock, so he nodded and said, "Well, go ahead!"

However, after Zhao Guoyan left, Jiang Lianheng did not go upstairs immediately. Instead, he said, "Master Shen, my family doesn't know that I'm staying at your place this time. I have to send someone to the county town to tell them!"

"Should, should!"

Mr. Shen didn't think much about it.

Jiang Lianheng raised his hand and called Yuan Xinfa to his side. He walked a few steps toward the gate of the villa and whispered:

"Old Yuan, you have to make a hard trip tonight. Go back to Ning'an County and send a telegram home. Tell Nanfeng to find Park Tae-hoon and tell him that I met the Korean guerrillas today and need them urgently. Ask them to send someone to contact me for a trade."

"Do you need to tell us where we are?" Yuan Xinfa asked.

"No, those people just heard me mention Park Tae-hoon, and they will definitely try to verify that it's safe when they get back, so you have to hurry on your way."

"Okay, I'll leave now!"

Yuan Xinfa responded and walked towards the stable. Halfway through, he suddenly turned back and asked with a bit of embarrassment: "Boss...how do you write Park Tae-hoon? I'm afraid they copied it wrong and I can't recognize it."

"Just say Bangzi, and Nanfeng will definitely know."

After sending Yuan Xinfa away, Jiang Lianheng turned around, laughing and walked into the blockhouse with Master Shen.

…………

On the other side, Zhao Guoyan did not go around directly after leaving the Lianzhuanghui, but walked for a long distance, making sure that there was no one behind him, then he made a big circle and went to the back wall of the Lianzhuanghui.

I looked at the time, it was five minutes to three, just enough time.

The Shenjiadian Diaolou is built with its back to the mountain, and the security on the back wall is obviously lax.

Perhaps because of the near conflict that had just occurred and the concentration of manpower, they did not encounter any armed patrols on their way around.

The wall was quite high. Zhao Guoyan stepped on the wall, took two steps in the air, and jumped to the top.

His clothes rustled, and as soon as he landed on the ground, a pungent, foul smell covered his face.

Although the Lianzhuanghui is grand, it is still a rural residence after all, and the taste of livestock is inevitable.

The mink cage is really big, almost as big as three pig pens of an ordinary family. This is just a mink cage on the west wall, surrounded by wooden fences and covered with wire mesh. Dozens of minks are moving back and forth in it.

Hearing the noise, the little guys all looked over, their eyes bright black, half curious and half timid.

According to folklore, in ancient times, a man went up the mountain during a heavy snowstorm. He could not stand the extreme cold and fell to the ground, about to die. Suddenly, a mink saw him and lay on his chest, using its body to keep him warm, saving him. The man was grateful to the mink for saving his life, so he peeled off its skin and made a cloak...

"Go! Go! Go!"

Zhao Guoyan whispered to drive the sable away while looking around for a hiding place.

At this moment, Master Shen's voice suddenly came from the front yard...
