Chapter 440: Weird
The three soldiers of the independent column made a plan and asked the village chief to arrange a reliable villager to report to the independent column. Then they followed Sanlaizi and got on the jeep and headed south to Xigou Township.
The four of them walked and talked, and figured out exactly how Sanlaizi knew the residence of the man in the long gown.
It was extremely mysterious when the man in the long gown found Sanlaizi with the token of the Black Hawk Gang.
Although Sanlaizi was a bastard and lazy, he was not stupid and was especially afraid of death. So he followed the man in the long gown from Pingshun County to the home of a landlord named Qian in Xigou Township.
"Landlord surnamed Qian? Didn't we carry out land reform in our base area? How come there are still landlords?"
"Alas, although the land reform has taken place, this landlord Qian has been telling people privately that the independent column will be destroyed and that his land will be returned to him sooner or later. As time goes by, everyone still calls him landlord Qian."
"Mad man! I think he's crazy! He should be glad that we are an independent column. If he had been gossiping in the Chongqing government's territory, he would have been torn to pieces long ago!"
Sure enough, on the way to Xigou Township, they met the soldiers who had parted ways in the cave before.
Once the two teams verified each other's information, they had a general idea and it seemed that the general direction was correct.
So, they used a walkie-talkie to contact the headquarters, and then asked the police station and militia of Xigou Township to secretly watch the landlord Qian's yard to prevent them from running away with the people and the goods.
At this moment, in Landlord Qian's house, the man in the long gown was holding a cup of tea with a smile on his face.
The fat landlord Qian stood aside and served carefully.
"Mr. Lin, I heard that Pingshun County is in chaos. Now the people with RMB are moving everything home! And many private shops are quietly raising their prices. Our plan is about to succeed!"
Lin Yutang proudly picked up the teacup and took a sip. Before his eyes, he saw the "grand scene" of the rapid depreciation of the RMB and the collapse of the Pingshun government's financial system.
"Humph, we have arranged personnel in every county. Even if it is to put out a fire, I don't think they will be able to make it in time! Within three days, it will collapse!"
This time, their Military Control Commission's Taiyuan Station gathered almost all its spies and, together with the Military Control Commission's Yan'an Station, launched a brutal attack on the infant People's Bank of China.
"Hey, Mr. Lin, will the price of these salts rise to a sky-high level by then?"
"Of course, just wait for your fortune! Whether you accept French currency, RMB, or silver, or even gold, it all depends on you!"
When Landlord Qian saw the yard full of salt, he was so happy that his heart was blooming. This was a gamble that he had made with the savings of several generations. He even mortgaged the last remaining yard and borrowed a lot of silver dollars from his former landlord friends.
He gave several boxes of silver dollars to Lin Yutang as capital for buying salt. But he never expected that Lin Yutang would use French currency and a pistol, which were as cheap as toilet paper, to buy the salt in the yard, and all the silver dollars went into Lin Yutang's pocket.
However, the landlord Qian was not worried, because with the salt in his hands, he would become extremely wealthy.
"Hey, Mr. Lin, I have some pocket money to buy tomorrow..."
Lin Yutang thought for a long time and decided to give him face.
"You kid, you haven't made enough money! Okay, I'll tell you, but if you let the news out for a while, not to mention getting rich, you won't even be able to save your life!"
According to their plan, different supplies would be looted every day, making it impossible for the independent column to prepare in advance and leaving them helpless.
Only the top brass at the Taiyuan Military Control Station and the Yan'an Military Control Station knew the specific materials that were looted.
But Lin Yutang was in a good mood today. After all, he had taken several large boxes of silver dollars from them, so he had to give them some benefits, right?
As a human being, don't be too greedy!
Lin Yutang dipped his hand in some tea and wrote two words on the table: cotton cloth!
After reading these two words, Landlord Qian immediately wiped the tea stains with his hand and looked at Lin Yutang flatteringly.
"Mr. Lin, if this deal is successful, you will have helped my Qian family to regain their lost land. I will buy back the land and I will be honoring my ancestors even after my death!"
"Are you stupid? You can do anything else with so much money, but you still want to buy land? Aren't you afraid that Li Yunlong will take your land back and your efforts will be in vain? Listen to me, when the time comes, once you sell the salt, you can buy a yard in Chongqing and live a good life!"
After Lin Yutang finished speaking, he prepared to go out with five or six of his men, escorting a large cart of silver dollars.
"I have already arranged this matter. I'm afraid your small yard won't be able to store all the cotton cloth. When the time comes, find a safe place and send someone to notify me. I will have someone deliver it over!"
Landlord Qian thanked Lin profusely and quietly escorted Lin Yutang out the door. Then he lay down on the salt in the yard and began to daydream.
The news reached the military fortress, and Wang Meng personally led his guard platoon to Xigou Township to reunite with the soldiers who were following them.
"How about it?"
"According to the local residents, the yard of this landlord Qian is very busy. Today, dozens of fully loaded cars went in and came out empty!"
"What's in it?"
"I don't know, it's covered tightly!"
Landlord Qian's yard was originally remote, and he deliberately chose a remote place to build it because he was afraid that the villagers would covet his property. In addition, after he was overthrown, the villagers hated him very much and would not even step into his yard.
However, today is just one day and only dozens of cars entered. Is that reasonable?
There must be a demon in the abnormal situation!
"Go, fight in!"
Wang Meng ordered the guards to climb over the wall, and he himself climbed to the top of the wall and jumped down.
"Ouch! Who is it? You stepped on my hand!"
Wang Meng looked down and saw a man leaning against the courtyard wall, pointing at his hand and yelling.
That’s right, this person is Landlord Qian.
The man's hands were torn apart by his weight of over 100 kilograms, the courtyard wall was over two meters high, and the thick combat boots.
Wang Meng quickly moved his feet away, looked at his hands that felt like they were peeled, and nodded apologetically.
"Excuse me, fellow, I was just passing by, I didn't expect there was anyone down there?"
"Fuck you, you're just passing by? You're just passing by my house?"
Landlord Qian pinched his wrist and took a long time to look up. "Fuck! Why do these clothes look so familiar? Independent Column!"
Landlord Qian's eyes rolled around and he started cursing.
"I'll go take care of my wound first, and I'll settle the score with you later!"
After saying that, he ran into the inner room.
Wang Meng looked at the potato-like figure and the two small mustaches and muttered to himself:
"Is this person weird?"
"What's weird?"
"Very obscene!"
