Chapter 332 Become the King of the Mountain First

Now the territory of Northeast China actually belongs to Tsarist Russia. Even after Japan and Russia did it, the Middle East Railway in the north and its rights and interests still belong to Tsarist Russia. The Qing Dynasty's rule over Northeast China was only in name. But the county magistrate and those troops were recognized by the common people. They could not read a single word and did not know the general situation of the world. The officials had accumulated power for a long time, so they had to recognize them. Although Tsarist Russia occupied the entire Northeast before, it always had limited manpower, so it basically had to do what it had to do.

So Wang Yan felt that those bandits were really finished. Who has time to take care of them now? They are still working honestly for others, which is too bad.

Riding all the way to the periphery, Wang Yan encountered bandits first as expected.

"Stop!"

Accompanied by a gunshot, bursts of shouting rang out, and the bandits guarding both sides of the road rushed out with guns and surrounded Wang Yan.

"Get down!"

"What are you doing?"

Eight people, six guns, two Hanyang-made guns, and four old broken fire sticks that were who knows how many years old. After a quick glance, Wang Yan calmed down the frightened horse and jumped off the horse lightly, nodding and bowing: "My dear friends, I am not transporting gold, I have something important to report to the officials."

The bandit who led the Hanyang-made gun stepped forward: "What is the important matter? And you are carrying a dead body? Tell me first."

"Look at it, this is the body of Jin Dana. It doesn't matter if he broke his leg, but he also broke his neck. Everything has to be handled by the big treasurer. Now that he is dead, I think I have to tell the officials to let the officials assign another big treasurer." Wang Yan pulled Jin Dana's hair, showing an unwilling face, so that they can see clearly.

The man looked at Wang Yan suspiciously, then walked around the horse to the other side. After looking at it, he turned back and said without saying a word: "Tie him up."

"Brother? Why tie me up? I'm just an office worker. I didn't do anything."

"You're lying. That leg is obviously broken by someone. Ask the government to assign a big cabinet? I'm afraid you want to do it yourself?" The man was very confident: "You must have gold on you. Do you want to bribe the officials?"

Without waiting for Wang Yan to argue, the man continued: "This Jin Dana must have been killed by you. OK, kid, you are so bold? Are you tired of living? Tie him up and take him away, stuff his mouth, and blindfold him."

Wang Yan did not resist. After all, plans cannot keep up with changes. In the original play, it was played by officials and bandits at one time, and no one knew who was guarding. When asked about the specific patrol and defense situation of Jin Dana's brothers, they didn't know, otherwise Jin Baotou would not have been hacked to death by others. Since this bandit is not stupid and still insists on taking him up the mountain, it is really not Wang's fault. He doesn't care. It doesn't matter if he changes temporarily or reverses the order.

"You guys keep watching, Lao Liu, you come with me to take this kid back."

The leader ordered, and kicked Wang Yan without saying a word, and asked another person to lead him away with a rope.

Not to mention this light kick, even if he kicked him with all his strength, it is highly likely that he will not be able to break his defense. As for blindfolding and not letting him see the road, not to mention that he can judge by direction and trend, there are still more than 20 people left at the foot of the mountain. They can't know where their nest is, right? Blindfolding is useless.

"Brother Hai, why did you tie someone back?"

"This kid killed Jin Da Na of Lao Jingou and wanted to find the government to take the position himself. I caught him and let him listen to the boss's punishment."

Wang Yan knew that he had arrived at the place. He climbed the mountain and crossed the ditch all the way. He came out in the morning and arrived at the place at noon. According to their walking speed, they had to walk seven or eight miles on a mountain road, which was called a deep forest, and it was very well hidden.

Being pushed and shoved, they arrived at a noisy place, and suddenly it was quiet. They only felt that dense eyes were cast on him, looking up and down. The air was a little turbid, with a bad smell, and the aroma of wine and meat, which was not very pleasant.

"Haizi, why don't you just keep an eye on those mud legs and tie someone up and run back?" A rough, slightly hoarse voice came from the front.

"Boss, this kid killed Jin Dana and wanted to find an official to be the big cabinet himself."

After a pause, I heard the voice: "Hey, he's still very thoughtful and courageous. Take off his blindfold and the cloth in his mouth."

The man next to him, who should be called Hai, responded to unblind Wang Yan and took the rag in his mouth.

I took a quick look inside the house. There were more than 20 people gathered at a small wooden table in a large wooden house, having lunch in a lively atmosphere. The food was good, probably because it was spring and life was coming. As for the weapons, there were only about 20 guns, most of which were firewood sticks. Counting the ones for patrol and defense outside, there were only 30 guns at most. Compared with the more than 50 guns said by the guy who was beaten to death by a big stick, it was not even a little bit less. It was just bragging better than scaring people.

The guy named Hai next to him saw Wang Yan looking around and kicked him without saying a word: "What are you looking at? Do you think death is too slow?"

Wang Yan nodded and apologized, looking at the middle-aged strong man sitting on a big chair not far in front of him, smiling and moving forward: "Boss, I think you are Dushanlong, whose reputation is known throughout the area. People say that you are clear about gratitude and resentment, fair in dealing with things, and do not do unjust things or covet ill-gotten gains. You are very observant and will not kill innocent people. It was not me who killed Jin Dana, it was someone else who did it."

"You speak very nicely, kid." Dushanlong laughed and waved to Wang Yan to come closer: "You said someone else did it? Who?"

"I don't know either. Even when I woke up in the morning, Dana Jin was dead outside. We all discussed that it might be the brother of He Laosi whom the officials found before." Wang Yan forced a smile and stepped forward anxiously. He spoke very quickly: "The reason why I was asked to give them away is that I have a good relationship with those people on weekdays, and everyone recommended me to be a pioneer. After all, it is an opportunity to rise to the top. I don't want to block it. If it is true I made a large cabinet, and I am from the eighteenth generation of poor peasants, so I can be considered a proud ancestor."

"Oh, that's it... you should know, right? Those people under Dana are all my brothers. Why haven't I received any news until now? Are you idiots rebelling? Huh?" Shanlong stretched out his hand and patted Wang Yan's apologetically smiling face...

Wang Yan forced a smile and turned into a smile. He gently grasped Dushanlong's rough hand with one hand and flicked it away with the other hand.

Dushanlong's eyes widened, and he didn't understand why the hands behind his tied back were pulled out, and he didn't understand why the group of young men watching behind him didn't make a sound to remind him.

Without waiting for the people below to react, Wang Yan twisted Dushanlong's arm with force, kicked down and broke his calf bone, grabbed the well-maintained Hanyang-made Hanyang standing on one side, and pulled the bolt of the gun. Load the bullet, and shoot the person holding the gun who was reflected in the headshot with one shot. Then he quickly unloaded and loaded the gun, and shot another head. After shocking them, he shouted loudly: "Put down your guns, bullets don't have holes. There are still three bullets in this gun. Let's see who wants to die early." The ghost.”

Looking at the two brothers whose heads were shot, and listening to Dushanlong screaming in pain above, the people below looked at me, and I looked at you, and finally stopped.

"You let our boss go, if you have something to say."

"Yes, there are so many of us, you can't beat us."

... Everyone expressed their sincerity with all their voices.

Dushanlong calmed down for a while, with blood-red eyes, trembling, and said in a trembling voice: "Brother, you are a hero. We have so many people here and so many guns. You will definitely die with three bullets. You still have time to stop now, I promise that I will never hold you accountable. I will make you the second boss and your position will be just below mine. How about putting down the gun? As you said just now, I, Dushan Long, am also a reputable person and I will definitely keep my word."

"I complimented you so much that I didn't know what my last name was? Do you fucking take it seriously?"

If he hadn't still wanted to receive the inheritance, he would have sent him away just now, and he wouldn't hesitate and just stepped on his other leg.

One arm was broken, two legs were twisted and kicked, and the pain exceeded the limit of endurance. Dushanlong finally couldn't hold on anymore, howled miserably, and fainted with his neck tilted.

A group of people below anxiously shouted something like 'big boss', 'big brother', etc. Anyway, they were purely loyal. Poor acting, no eyesight. That's just crying at the grave, no tears. These people shouted sincerely, but none of them touched the gun.

There was a "bang" gunshot, and another head was shot. The shouting people suddenly fell silent. Wang Yan quickly pulled the bolt of the gun and loaded it: "There are still two bullets left. Let's see who has enough to survive?"

No one said anything. Many people were already convinced by the two previous shots. Now that another shot was fired, they were even more scared. No one wants to die if he can live. With his shooting skills, no one dares to bet whether he will be the next headshot. This is human nature.

Wang Yan took a false aim with his gun and looked at the man standing in front of him stupidly, who tied him up the mountain: "Do you want to live or die?"

The boy was so happy that he knelt on the ground and hurriedly explained: "Brother, I want to live, I want to live. I didn't know that eldest brother is such a hero. If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have dared even if you gave me eight courages. You sir are so generous, Just treat me like a fart."

"Very well, bring me your gun."

Amidst the various looks from the others, that Hai came forward happily with the muzzle of the gun in hand and gently placed it on the table. Are you kidding me? Are you still trying to scare him with your eyes at this time? If you want to kill them, he won't live long enough anyway.

Nodding with satisfaction, Wang Yan said: "You are very sensible, so you won't be held accountable for kicking me. What's your name?"

"Brother, my name is Yu Zhenhai. If you have anything to do, just give me instructions."

"Go and shoot all their guns."

Yu Zhenhai accepted the order, turned around and started to collect his guns. Soon, all the guns were collected and piled at Wang Yan's feet.

He then sent Yu Zhenhai outside to trick everyone in. Only then did he understand why the bandits did not dare to cause trouble.

Because including the six people at the foot of the mountain, the people here, and those lying on the ground, there are only fifty-seven people, and the thugs in the gold factory are only eighty. Hanyang can't build twelve. The rest were all burning fire sticks. He had thought that there were more than a hundred people and the firepower of more than fifty guns. He really thought highly of them. They only knew how to brag. The key point was that he didn't believe it all. He was convinced of part of it. It's somewhat embarrassing.

It was already afternoon when Yu Zhenhai found everyone. It was also at this time that the man named Lao Guozi from Ding Huilian's shop ran up the mountain and came to report the news. Seeing Wang Yan standing there openly, he was horrified and knelt down to beg for mercy. Wang Yan was not used to illness and collapsed with one shot.

After cooking Lao Guozi, he raised his gun and gestured back and forth: "Everyone raise their heads and look at me. I will have the final say on this mountain from now on. Is there anyone who disagrees?"

At this time, of course no one would object and clamor to meet the boss.

Looking at the people with different thoughts in front of him, Wang Yan chuckled, raised his gun and shot, killing five of them.

One person wiped the hot water splashed on his face, swallowed, trembled his legs, and forced himself to ask: "The boss, they all deserved it, why did you kill them?"

"I don't like the look in their eyes. I can't sleep." Wang Yan casually handed the gun to Yu Zhenhai and asked him to load it. Then he picked up a gun and slowly pointed the muzzle at the person who spoke: " So many people pretended not to see it, so why are you so brave?"

Looking at the black muzzle of the gun, the man could no longer stand and knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "Master, I was wrong. I shouldn't have spoken. Please spare my life. I have an eighty-year-old mother above me, and... …”

"Shut up!"

Wang Yan shouted sharply, stopped his crying, and glanced around lightly: "Let me ask you one last time, do you have any objections to me as the boss? Now say it, die now, I will give you a happy life. If it happens later , If you dare to play tricks on me, you won’t be able to survive or die if you haven’t killed me yet.”

"Master, we all listen to you. You took over our Lazi Mountain by yourself. You are a real hero. Whatever you say, we obey you."

Yu Zhenhai was very sensible and set an example. It would be okay if he didn't set an example. After all, he was the first one to defect to him, and he wouldn't be able to survive if the new eldest brother fell.

"As the boss, we obey you."

Listening to the uneven slogans and looking at the crowd with evasive eyes, Wang Yan smiled: "Okay, let's take out everything in the mountains tonight, and the brothers who cook will make some good ones. I, Wang Laowu, and the brothers Let's have a drink together, talk, and get to know each other. Let me tell you how we can make a lot of money in the future, how we can please our mother-in-law, and how we can live a better life."

"The boss."

"Go to the foot of the mountain and tell my brother Zhu Laosan that I, Wang Laowu, are in charge. Let them rest assured and tell them that I will go back tomorrow."

"Yes." Yu Zhenhai responded, stood up and left...

In the absence of Wang Laowu, Zhu Kaishan, a good brother, is naturally the eldest brother. Others, including the bandits who were frightened by Wang Yan's ferocity, all obey Zhu Kaishan's orders.

After busying themselves with the corpses of the three bandits and Jin Baotou, a group of people sat by the river and looked at the small dirt road, hoping that Wang Yan would come back soon.

The other gold diggers were not in the mood to work, and no one was paying attention to them now. They were just dilly-dallying, gossiping, and talking about the future situation. The brothers Jinli and Big found an opportunity to inform Ding Huilian about the accident this morning.

"Lao Zhu, you said something happened to Mr. Wang... eldest brother, right?"

A group of people didn't even eat lunch. They just sat by the river, smoking and playing with rocks. They watched helplessly without any movement. Only the occasional breeze blew by, raising dust on the path. Finally, someone endured it. He kept asking questions.

Before Zhu Kaishan could comfort him, the bandit who had been beaten up with a bruised nose and face said, "Don't talk nonsense, Uncle Wang is really powerful. Besides, if he really confessed, he didn't see anyone coming from the government or the mountain."

Zhu Kaishan hummed: "He's right. My brother is very thoughtful and never does anything he's not sure about. Maybe something happened in the middle, which delayed it. Don't worry, everyone. There will definitely be someone today." In the end, no matter what, we are all here today, and the worst we can do is die."

The others said nothing and didn't know what to say. They all got into the car on their own, and no one could escape. Including the bandits on one side, if they didn't take refuge, why should they be released? Looking back and not being able to tell is also a death.

Everyone had different thoughts, looking forward and looking forward with regret and longing. Finally, when the sky turned dark, there was movement on the path, and it was a man riding a horse heading this way.

A group of eager men quickly stood up, patted the dirt on their buttocks, and watched the horse approaching quickly.

The bandit with good eyesight recognized the person: "It's Brother Hai!"

Zhu Kaishan turned around and asked, "Who is Brother Hai?"

"He belongs to the person outside who is responsible for intercepting the money. He is very much appreciated by the boss."

"Isn't that the end?"

"Come here, come here, let's see what Brother Hai has to say."

Yu Zhenhai stopped in front of everyone, got off his horse, frowned at a group of familiar faces on the mountain with people he obviously didn't know, raised his hands and asked, "Who is Zhu Laosan?"

"I'm Zhu Laosan. I wonder what this big brother wants to do with me?"

"Wang Laowu has become our new boss. The boss asked me to tell you, don't worry, he will be back tomorrow." After saying this, Yu Zhenhai felt a clear feeling of silence around him for a moment.

Zhu Kaishan stood blankly on the spot for a long time, and then asked dryly: "Are you saying that Wang Laowu has become your boss? Can you please tell us what happened?" More than 20 people gathered together on one side. People were nodding their heads again and again, it was so magical.

Yu Zhenhai nodded, starting from when he tied up Wang Laowu, and vividly told the whole thing from beginning to end.

Although he was the one who experienced it, he also felt that Wang Laowu was too cruel and couldn't accept it. One man, with five bullets, shot three heads with three shots, frightening dozens of bandits who were robbing their homes, so that they did not dare to move. This is more like an incident in a novel, but it actually happened half a day ago. Along the way, his mind was filled with images of gunshots and headshots, of one man shaking off a pack of wolves. The more he thought about it, the more he realized it was wise to take refuge.

After hearing the whole story, Zhu Kaishan couldn't believe it, but at the same time he also let go of his heart that had been hanging around for a day. This Wang Laowu calmly dealt with the bandits. With a gun in his hand, he has the qualifications to negotiate terms with the government. This disaster is over, good brother...

"My brother, don't you have anything else to say?"

"Gone."

Zhu Kaishan pondered for a moment, then turned around and said: "Brothers, you have all heard that Wang Laowu is now the boss. Not only are our lives saved, but through this gold pit, brothers can make a fortune in the future. This matter Son, it's good that you know, don't talk nonsense to them. Okay, go back and eat and drink, and have a good sleep. This golden pit is the foundation. Let them all work hard tomorrow. I will go to the mountain to meet my brothers. , I’ll tell you the details when my brother and I come back tomorrow.”

A group of people responded loudly, turned around and dispersed happily. The bandits and gold diggers blended in well together. They were all brothers in the same pot from now on...

Wang Yan was drinking and eating meat with a group of bandits, and brainwashing them at the same time. The atmosphere was so good. Although he only kept twelve Hanyang-made weapons and sent the rest back to them, except for the miserable-looking man hanging on one side, no one shot anything wrong, and everything was harmonious.

He was not surprised at all when he saw Zhu Kaishan coming in with Yu Zhenhai. He would be surprised if he didn't come.

"Brothers, please be quiet, be quiet." Wang Yan loudly stopped the noise, pulled Zhu Kaishan over and said, "This is my good brother, Zhu Laosan. From now on, he will be the second son of our Laizi Mountain." Head.”

The bandits were all sensible, and they all stood up and clasped their fists: "I've met the second master."

Zhu Kaishan smiled and handed over his hands: "We will all be a family from now on, brothers, please take care of me, haha..." Of course he didn't want to be the second boss, but now he had no chance to refuse, so he had to accept it.

Wang Yan made an ouch and patted his forehead: "Look at my brain, we haven't bowed to each other yet, have we? But Brother Zhu, I don't think there is any need to talk about our feelings. Let's go to court to worship each other. No need to worry about the useless ones. Come on, brothers, let’s have a drink with the second boss and my brother Zhu.”

Zhu Kaishan didn't hesitate, he laughed out loud with the wine jar, raised his head and drank a lot of it, and sprinkled most of it down his neck, which was a waste of money.

After drinking, the two of them recognized themselves as brothers. Arranging Zhu Kaishan to stay aside, Wang Yan didn't say much to him. He was taking an ideological class and couldn't interrupt it.

Zhu Kaishan's mouth twitched when he heard about taking down the tiger in the forest next door, about monopolizing the gold mine, tricking the mother-in-law into giving birth to a child, about training tactics, exercising, buying guns and artillery, about dominating a radius of 500 miles and becoming bigger and stronger. . If nothing else, he was quite convinced. His good brother's ability to brag and deceive others was truly top-notch, and he was obsessed with it. Looking at the red-faced and howling bandits, the effect is self-evident.

After the cheating was over, Wang Yan took Zhu Kaishan to the neatly tidied large room that originally belonged to Dushan Long. The two of them sat cross-legged on the hot Kang, drinking tea around a small square table.

"Brother, I have to thank you for promoting me, but I really can't do this second job."

"Have you ever thought about having a happy birthday?"

"Isn't that right?" Zhu Kaishan patted his thigh: "When I was young, I used to hang out everywhere. Your sister-in-law and I didn't have the same blessings in our family. She raised three children and narrowly escaped death from Guandong to Yuanbao. He was looking for me, and he was even more bastard during the fight, and he killed my old father. I have been confused for half my life, and now I don’t want to bother, I just want to settle down and have a wife for all my sons. , I will be content even if I die.”

Zhu Kaishan is thirty-nine this year. Judging from the current situation, he is quite old. After all, his eldest son Zhu Chuanwen is already eighteen this year. Coupled with the injuries he suffered in his early years, his physical condition was no longer at its peak, and his wife and children had just arrived from Guandong, so it was normal for him to lose his ambition.

"Okay, Brother Zhu, you can do whatever you want." Wang Yan took a sip of tea and said with a smile, "But I can't let you go now. I have to wait until the end of the year to see if I can go back. If it's possible, let's go back together. If not, please go back and help me build some land, and then demolish the house and build a big yard. Now that I'm prosperous, I still want to go back to beg a mother-in-law and give us a wife. The Wang family is continuing the family line."

"We are brothers, your business is my business, don't worry, if you can't play back Niugou, I promise to take care of it for you." Zhu Kaishan laughed, then said seriously: "But brothers, Brother, I have to advise you, the banditry business is not a long-term solution, and it will cause a lot of evil, it is not good, it is not good..."

"Brother Zhu, I didn't want to be a bandit. But the current situation is like this. I am forced to go to Liangshan. If I don't become the king of the mountain, I will die today. What do you think I choose? I will become the mountain king." Your Majesty, my subordinate is No. 780. There are still about 200 people in the mountain valley who want to fight with me. At this point, do you think I have a way out? Times make heroes. These 180 people occupy the mountain. The king is a bandit. If 1,800 people occupy the mountain and become king, and they have guns and cannons...Brother Zhu, then I will be a regular army..."

Zhu Kaishan listened in a daze, not knowing what to say, so he simply drank tea and kept silent. If he said he didn't believe it, he didn't believe that Wang Yan could become a bandit leader, but he did it. If he said he believed it, there were a thousand people, and there were guns and cannons, isn't that just wishful thinking? Anyway, there was no way to say it, so let it be, and he should live his life well. This brother is too exciting, he has to stay away from him...

Knowing that Zhu Kaishan was stunned by some of his little ideas, Wang Yan changed the subject at the right time: "I broke the hands and feet of that Dushanlong, tied him up outside, and killed him, and He Laosi's revenge was avenged. You know the details of the process, it is definitely not possible to kill officials now, I have to wait until my strength is stronger, and then I will catch them and hand them over to you, my brother, to deal with them personally."

He tortured Dushanlong in the afternoon, nothing else, just money, he didn't have anything else of value. Other information, other bandits also knew, so after asking, he threw it aside and ignored it. Right now, I am living tenaciously and don't want to die.

"It's enough now, that's enough. The man is gone, and he can't cause us any more trouble. I think this is good. I will contact his wife and children later, take care of them, and help them. He Laosi will rest in peace if he knows about this."

In the original drama, he only killed the two brothers of Jin Dana, and did not touch the officials and bandits. Now that he can get to this point, he should be satisfied. His words are correct, but Wang Yan doesn't think so. The government swallowed 60% of his gold for nothing. He can't sleep well if he doesn't kill these people.

Without continuing the topic, Wang Yan asked the key question: "Brother Zhu, I wonder what you think of the gold vein map?"

Zhu Kaishan said with a smile: "It's useless for me to keep it, so I'll give it to you. Mining is better than taking people's money and killing people. Find paper and pen, I'll draw it for you."

"Brother Zhu, don't worry, I'm a bandit, and I will definitely not do those things that lose my conscience. There's no rush to draw the map, there's still a long time in the future, you can get there in time. Now, let's see if these bandits are brave enough. If we don't deal with them, we won't be able to sleep in the future, always worrying about losing our heads. It's not good."

As he spoke, Wang Yan picked up the peanuts and extinguished the candles in the room, and the room suddenly became dark.

Zhu Kaishan certainly understood why, even if he didn't understand, he couldn't sleep, there was no sense of security in this bandit's nest.

The room was quiet except for the even breathing. The two brothers were full of thunder, preparing for anything that might happen...
