Chapter 96: Show your weapons first, then your money

"I asked someone about your name. I heard that your wife is pretty. You have such a pretty wife at home, but you still rely on the fact that the production team leader is your uncle and use the relief food cards of other people's members everywhere, forcing young girls and wives to have affairs with you?" Xie Hushan hit the other's arm with the butt of his gun again and again, cursing from the bottom of his heart:

"What I hate most in my life is other men cheating on women! CNM! I just thought about it and haven't realized it yet. How can you be so worthy of it?"

Everyone present was silent. Even the children did not dare to cry out loud. The only sounds were the muffled thud of gun butts hitting people and the miserable screams of the other party!

Everyone watched as Xie Hushan's expression remained unchanged as he used the butt of his gun to smash the other man's arms again and again, breaking them!
This foreign guy is so evil!

"Leader! Leader! I am the brigade secretary. What happened?" An old man in his fifties or sixties ran over from a distance, shouting, followed by five or six people.

"Run faster! F*ck you, you can't even run errands for the masses properly, and you still think you're a brigade cadre in the damn Gobi Desert! Just die!" Xie Hushan raised the muzzle of his gun and aimed at the old man!

There was a "bang" sound from the mouth!
This action frightened the other person so much that he trembled and fell to the ground, probably hitting his hip. He was now lying on his side on the cold, hard ground, groaning, his face painful, and unable to get up.

The five or six people following the old man were so scared that they ran to the side of the road with their heads in their hands.

"It's none of your fucking business. Don't follow us here and seek death." Xie Hushan pointed at several people who were frightened by his feint and whose courage and morale were seriously affected.

Taozi's mother, Li Qiaozhi, was hiding in the house with her children at this time. Listening to the noise outside, she was so scared that cold sweat broke out on her back.

My goodness, the Japanese devils at Yakou back then were not as bad as today's. My brother-in-law Xie Hushan alone is causing as much trouble as I am today...

Without saying a word, he stabbed the production team leader, hit the militia platoon leader, and fired into the air in front of everyone. The brigade secretary was almost frightened to death.

How did her husband manage to survive from such a bandit? She even praised the other party for his good character. There was no point in keeping his eyes...

This bastard has really screwed Taozi over. By promising Taozi to such a man, isn't that screwing over my daughter?

Listen to what this young man said. He even wanted to sleep with someone else's wife and give her a few kisses...

What kind of character is this...

She looked at Taozi and found that Taozi was sitting on the edge of the kang with a calm expression, her hands tightly grasping the hem of her clothes, her knuckles turned white from grasping, but she remained silent and listened attentively to what Xie Hushan said outside.

Li Qiaozhi said: "Taozi, this is..."

Taozi looked at her mother and forced a smile, "Mom, it's okay. Third brother is not a fool. He knows what's going on. He came to the cliff to make a scene for serious business. He is the bad guy and Leader Yang is the good guy. Third brother just speaks harshly."

Outside, seeing that no one was speaking, Xie Hushan pulled open his rifle and loaded another bullet. Then he put the rifle across his shoulder and looked fiercely at the ragged villagers at Yakou around him:

"My name is Xie Hushan. I want to open the brick kiln of Zhongping Production Team 3. I heard that someone at Yakou wants to manage it for me. Apart from the local leader of the Liu family who is lying here for three generations, is there anyone else who wants to manage it for me?"

"Who are you trying to scare by firing a shot into the sky? Do you still want to open the brick kiln..." A man who had just followed the brigade secretary stood on a rock and spoke loudly, trying to mobilize the masses.

Xie Hushan held a spear in his hand and without waiting for the other party to finish speaking, he immediately said CNM!

Then he turned around and fired a shot in the direction the man was speaking!
"boom!"

The bullet passed by the man and hit the stone behind him. Stone fragments flew everywhere and hit the man's head and face, leaving several bloody spots!
The man was so frightened that he fell off the rock! There was a glimmer of water in his crotch!
The bit of courage he had when he made the threats instantly disappeared with the sound of gunfire and the pain of stones hitting his head and face!
This is a ruthless person! He really dared to shoot at people! He almost lost his life!
"What a crappy gun! It's inaccurate and can even misfire! It's a waste to give it to you. This thing needs maintenance! Got it?" Xie Hushan cursed the militia platoon leader who had fainted on the ground with disdain, then took out a bullet and reloaded it while walking towards the man who fell down:

"You want to be in charge? According to the information I have, you should be the director of public security, right? I have also checked how many people are in your family. So, tell me again, and this time I will shoot from a closer distance, and I will definitely not delay your reincarnation."

"Leader, I was wrong!" Seeing Xie Hushan coming over with the bolt of his gun, the man who wanted to save face but was frightened by the gunshot immediately knelt on the ground. There was also a woman next to him who also knelt on the side of the road and hugged Xie Hushan's legs, crying and begging for mercy. She might be the other party's wife:

"Leader! He doesn't dare! He doesn't dare! Please spare him!"

"Get out of the way. Wasn't he so tough and arrogant just now? Why didn't you stop him when he was being arrogant? I must kill one of you today so that you can learn a lesson! Don't act like a local boss in front of me in the future!" Xie Hushan pretended to continue walking towards the man, dragging the woman to the ground, but the woman still didn't let go of Xie Hushan's hand. Xie Hushan glared at her and cursed:

"I'm a tiger that has come down from the mountains, and I specialize in targeting local tyrants!"

The woman cried at the top of her voice, "Leader! He is not from Old Liu's family! He is not from Old Liu's family! Every wrong has its perpetrator! He is the director of public security and has a good relationship with the Liu family! He didn't do anything! He wouldn't dare to do that!"

"Isn't he from Old Liu's family?" After hearing this, Xie Hushan tried to suppress his anger, stopped walking forward, and looked around. The people around him immediately shook their heads and said, "No, he's not!"

"Since your wife rubbed her nipples against my legs, I'll spare your life. Go away." After Xie Hushan finished cursing, he saw that no one dared to stand up, so he turned around and walked towards the brigade secretary who had fallen to the ground.

He squatted in front of the other person, pulled out the Type 54 rifle from his waist and stuffed it into the other person's trembling hand, with the muzzle of the gun pointed at his own forehead:

"Secretary Liu, if you want a brick kiln, you have to ask me for it. It's no use trying to turn your back on Lao Yang and the other people. Come on, shoot here. After you've fired, the brick kiln will be opened, and you'll have the final say."

The brigade secretary was terrified and wanted to throw the gun away, but Xie Hushan held his hand tightly and held the gun against his forehead:

"I heard that the Liu family at Yakou is quite powerful. Three generations of the family have served as cadres in the team. They also want to seize the sideline business of our Zhongping Brigade, so I came here to meet you. Shoot?"

"Leader..." The brigade secretary tried hard to pull his hand free, his face turned pale with fear.

Xie Hushan did not let him go:
"Your son robbed the commune of a large amount of property, and you know what he did before. He must be killed. He has a daughter who is sixteen years old, a good age. I have to give it a try. What about your grandson? He lost his gun, and the gun went off. He can't be a platoon leader of the militia anymore. He has ruined so many young girls and wives. If the country doesn't kill him, I will definitely use him as a sacrifice in my kiln after I build it. When he is burned in the kiln, I will add firewood to him while beating his wife."

"I won't touch your wife. Respect the elderly. She will be responsible for taking care of the young. After I fall asleep, she will be responsible for boiling some water for my granddaughter and granddaughter-in-law to wash their bodies. Even if you don't have sons and grandsons, you don't have to worry about not having an heir. My brothers and I are willing to help your granddaughter and granddaughter-in-law have children for fun."

But no matter what he said, the old man didn't dare to pull the trigger, and Xie Hushan was so angry that he cursed:
"Fuck! I've said such drastic things, and my provocation has even affected the women, and you're still holding back? Lao Deng, you really are a Ninja Turtle!"

"Are you convinced?" Seeing that the other party was so scared that his face was covered with snot and tears, Xie Hushan asked him.

This time the old man nodded repeatedly: "I accept."

"Call me dad. If you don't, I will come over and castrate your son and grandson right now to end your family's lineage. Count to three, one." Xie Hushan asked with a cold face.

Xie Hushan had no intention of counting to two. As soon as he finished speaking, he stood up, drew his bayonet and walked towards the production team leader and the militia platoon leader.

The old man held the pistol in his hand, but he didn't even have the courage to pull the trigger. With trembling lips, he cried out to Xie Hushan, "Dad, my dear dad!"

The word "Dad" caused an uproar among the members around. The three Liu family men who had been so unscrupulous in the Yakou Brigade were beaten to the point that they called a young man "Dad"?

No matter how loudly you bully everyone, you won’t be able to stop them when a tough guy comes!

"It's no use calling you dad. Even if you call me dad, I will kill the three of you today. You dare to act like troublemakers with Lao Yang. He is my brother who sleeps on the same kang with me in Zhongping. If you mess with him, it's like messing with me. I will let you see what a real troublemaker is." Xie Hushan walked back and squatted again, patted the old man's face, stood up with the No. 54, looked around at the members of Yakou, and took out a stack of banknotes from his pocket that he had received from Ermianfei for starting a brick kiln.

He held a gun in his left hand and money in his right hand:
"If anyone knows what bad things these three bastards from the Liu family at Yakou have done and is willing to go with me to the commune and tell the special commissioner clearly, come and line up. I will reward them five yuan on the spot. Don't worry, I am here to deal with them today. It's the Little New Year, so I will fire a few shots to hear the sound, add some New Year flavor, and help everyone have fun."

Although people in the crowd kept murmuring, no one dared to stand up and respond to Xie Hushan's words. Taozi, who was inside the house, heard Xie Hushan's words and looked around the house, opened a cabinet and took a look, then turned to Li Qiaozhi and asked, "Mom, where is the sewing machine?"

"The captain's wife took him away a few days ago. She said she would return the food to the team when she got it." Li Qiaozhi said to Taozi with a pale face.

Taozi immediately put on her red scarf, stood up and walked out the door. Li Qiaozhi called out to her several times but failed to stop her. Taozi walked out of the courtyard:

"I am willing!"

"Liu Changlu, the leader of the second production team, asked his wife to snatch away the sewing machine that someone else had lent to my mother! He also withheld our family's relief food!"

Hearing this, Xie Hushan showed a happy smile on his face. Look, Taozi is such a good girl, so considerate and she knows what to say to support her man at this time.

He counted out five bills, hesitated, counted out ten, and waved fifteen toward Taozi:
"Come here and get the money. I'm willing to spend this money. Because you were the first to come forward, I'll give you an extra five dollars. Also, because you're so pretty and your date is so handsome, I'll give you another five dollars!"

Seeing the three generations of the Liu family lying in a miserable state on the ground and being beaten to the point of surrendering and calling them dad, and then looking at the pistol and real money in Xie Hushan's hand, some of the members of the Yakou Society around them began to be moved and slowly walked towards him.

Xie Hushan gave the money to Taozi and asked Taozi to help distribute the money and ask questions to the people who came to line up to report. After all, Taozi is friendly and a local of Yakou, so she is more friendly and trustworthy.

He himself stacked the gun and the money together, with the gun on top and the money on the bottom, and his tone was full of emotion:
"I told him a long time ago that the working method of county officials going to the countryside to talk with each other does not fit the village conditions and he will definitely fall into the trap. He should have listened to me. To deal with such people, you must do this and that to make money. Show your weapons first and then the money. If I don't scare them, how can they welcome my service?"
