I traveled through time, starting with two acres of land and a dog

Today's thrilling action also shocked the major leaders of Wuying Township. It is rare to use guns in broad daylight, and there are so many captives in hand. The leader of the Gelaohui who was captured is also a local headman and belongs to the local gentry class.

Immediately set up various defenses at the base of the Gelaohui. This blue brick and tile house will be their base in the future. He decided to let Huang Kunyang come forward to receive the envoys from all directions, and he would not come forward again. Insist on redeeming the captives with money. The former sphere of influence of the Gelaohui can be handed over to other forces, and the former visible property of the Gelaohui (shops, cash) must not be handed over. Other matters will be discussed after my father comes back.

In order to understand the situation of the Gelaohui, it was decided to immediately interrogate the relevant personnel, resolutely execute those who committed murder, arson, rape and looting, and deal with others as appropriate.

Du Chenyu sat next to Huang Kunyang and began to interrogate a man wearing a long gown, whom everyone called "Sir".

"Sir, can you tell me what you know?" Huang Kunyang asked politely.

"What do you want to know?" the old man in the long gown asked.

"Your own situation and the information you have about the Gelaohui," said Huang Kunyang.

"My name is Xu Zengshou, from Muzengbao. I followed Master Sun two years ago. I'm mainly responsible for paperwork and account book management, which have been handed over to you. I mainly manage two shops, the iron mine dividends, the accounts of more than 20 acres of land, and the collection of protection fees. That's about it," he answered slowly.

"Then please introduce Sun Baohua's situation," Huang Kunyang continued to ask.

"Master Sun Xiang is the head of Dashuliang. He also has property in Dashuwan, where his wife and children are. This is just the base and property of the association, which belongs to the public. He also has a younger brother who is the head of a regiment in Banqiao Township, with dozens of people under his command. His younger brother is the son-in-law of Zhang Huaian, the head of Banqiao Township. Zhang Huaian is in poor health, so all matters, big or small, are handled by his younger brother, the head of the regiment," he continued.

Later, several leaders were interrogated and the results were similar. The only problem was that two people sent by the leader of the county's Pao Ge Society were killed, one dead and the other seriously injured. It was estimated that they would cause trouble.

When enemies come, we will fight them; when water comes, we will block it with earth. Now is the time to digest the results and strengthen our strength.

After the guns were distributed, they began to set up sentries and build fortifications to prevent another sneak attack. It was the first time they showed their strength, and it could be said that they were surrounded by enemies. That night, Du Chenyu asked his second uncle to take a pistol and a rifle and two people back home overnight to prevent Yu Yuedong from coming to make trouble. They had about 1 guns to deal with it.

The captives were tied up in the yard, the leader locked them up alone and sent people to guard them. Everything was arranged and they were waiting for the storm to come.

It was almost evening when Wu Han came back and rushed over as soon as possible.

"I'm Wu Han, looking for your leader," he shouted from outside.

He Cunyi carried him and brought Huang Kunyang out.

"My name is Huang Kunyang, nice to meet you, Township Chief Wu. This is Captain He, nice to meet you. Please come inside and talk," Huang Kunyang replied, clasping his fists in greeting.

Wu Han walked in front, talking as he walked.

"We met Brother Du two days ago. Didn't you go to the county? Who is in charge? You actually wiped out the Gelaohui. Captain Sun was also arrested. Many people went to the township office to demand redress of their grievances and their release," said Wu Han.

"The Gelaohui robbed my property and smashed my shop for no reason. This is simply too much. We can no longer tolerate it and have no choice but to resist," Huang Kunyang said in a neither humble nor arrogant manner after Wu Han sat down.

Huang Kunyang thought about these words himself, which were very sophisticated and made him look up to him. He was his father's student, always very smart, and his family conditions were not bad, so he was a good seedling.

"You are the person in charge now, Cun Yi. A man should be looked at with new eyes after three days of absence. In just a few months, you have become the team leader, with dozens of people under you. Brother Du is even more extraordinary. He has so many talented people under him that he can destroy a huge triad easily without any effort," Wu Han said with emotion.

"Why did you bring Huzi with you? It's so dangerous," he continued.

"Mr. Chenyu is our backbone. We will definitely use our lives to ensure his safety," said Huang Kunyang.

"Since you have done this, there is no way to change it. The most urgent task is to deal with the follow-up events. It is best to notify Brother Wu to come back as soon as possible. Village Chief Wu and Group Leader Zhao are very angry and are on their way back. You must deal with it well and cannot offend the two adults, otherwise it will be difficult to deal with," Wu Han said after taking a sip of tea.

"Village Chief Wu, what have you been busy with recently?" He Cunyi asked. He asked Huang quietly.

"Alas, the Red Lantern Society has been making a lot of trouble recently. Last month, the Huodiya bandits appeared openly. In the past few days, several wealthy families in Baiheba, Xiguanbao, were massacred. We were busy running around, and Yu Yuedong was temporarily in charge of the vigilance. This happened again today, and we hurried back. Only then did we hear that it was Brother Du's men who did it. I didn't believe it at the time," Wu Han continued.

"This is a small token of my appreciation. Please accept it, Township Chief Wu. This was arranged by the master." Huang Kunyang took out a bag from the inner room. There was 100 silver dollars in it. This was prepared in advance. He must be brought here so that he can gain a foothold in Wuying Township.

"Obedience is worse than respect. We are a family and we should keep our distance. Please thank Brother Du for me. I will not stay long. I will communicate with you as soon as there is any situation," he grabbed his purse and stood up to leave.

"Village Chief Wu, take care. I'll see you off," Huang Kunyang saw Wu Han off.

Nothing happened that night. Several groups of people came to inquire about the situation, but they were all scared away by the patrol officers. One of them was reckless and tried to force his way in, so he was shot in the leg.

The next day, after breakfast, a fat old man in a long gown and a tall, thin middle-aged man, followed by Wu Han, came towards them along the road with about 10 people. Last night, the guards had built a barrier on the road near the base, a simple fence, and sandbag fortifications behind it.

"Please open the door. This is our village chief Wu and group leader Zhao. We received a report yesterday that a shooting occurred here and we need to investigate the scene," an attendant shouted from the opposite side.

"I'm sorry, sirs. This is a legal residence and no gunfight has taken place here. Please stop moving forward, otherwise we will fire warning shots. If you have official business to attend to, sirs, please discuss it in the house and do not bring in any attendants," Li Long was shouting.

"What bullshit, if you don't open the door, we're going to rush in," the other side continued to shout.

"Bang... bang..." Two gunshots

"Anyone who dares to break into a private residence will be killed without mercy," Li Longchao fired a gun and shouted.

"Sir Wu, let's let the brothers stay outside and let's go in," said Wu Han.

"Well, let's go meet this dragon that crosses the river." Wu Weihan saw that he couldn't force his way in, so he had to go in alone.

"Brother Zhao, please," the fat old man said, extending his hand.

"Brother Wu, please," the tall and thin middle-aged man lowered his body slightly and let the fat old man go in front.

"My name is Huang Kunyang, entrusted by Mr. Du to receive you all. Please forgive me if I am not considerate enough. Please come in," Huang Kunyang greeted people at the door.

"This is Village Chief Wu," after sitting down, Wu Han stood up and pointed at the fat old man.

"This is Group Leader Zhao," he said, pointing at the thin middle-aged man.

"Hello, my dear friends. I wonder how you can give me advice for my humble home," Huang Kunyang said politely.

"Your master is not here, so let's be frank. You have wiped out the Gelaohui and people have died. What are you going to do? If you can't handle it well, you will have to ask the county to handle it," said the village chief Wu first.

"I won't go into the details of the reasons. I have already reported this to Deputy Township Chief Wu yesterday. These people are running rampant in the township and they should be punished," Huang Kunyang said.

"You arrested a lot of local people. Although the dead were sent back and the injured were treated, their families trampled the township office to pieces," said Zhao Tuanzong.

"We can release those kids who haven't committed any crime, but we will never release those who have done anything harmful to the world. Their leaders need to pay a ransom, the shops and real estate on the street need to be used to compensate for our losses, and we are willing to hand over the mines and other industries to the township," Huang Kunyang stated all his demands and bottom line.

"You can't occupy all the stores, these should be confiscated," Old Man Wu said tentatively.

"This is our master's minimum requirement. Otherwise, please report to the county for a ruling," Huang Kunyang said affirmatively.

"Captain Sun, how much ransom do you plan to ask for? His wife is still crying in the government office," asked old man Wu.

"We only charge 50 dollars. Of course, we can ask you two adults to be the middlemen. We will hand the person over to you, Village Chief Wu. You can negotiate the specific amount with his wife. Another condition is that we have to lock up this old man Sun for three months and promise not to hurt him. The reason is that we are afraid that he will cause trouble again when he gets out," Huang Kunyang continued.

"We will definitely pass on Captain Huang's words, and we won't bother you any more," they looked at each other, and Wu Han stood up and said.

"Then I'll take you all away," Huang Kunyang saw them off.

These people were eager to go back and divide up the property left by the Sun family. It was said that the Gelaohui still had an iron mine in the Qingshuibao area, which was what they were drooling over. This was called "the one who kills the chicken drinks the soup, while the people around eat the meat, and everyone is happy."

In the evening, Hu Laosi and others came back, and Du Chenyu convened a summary meeting.

Huang Kunyang gave a summary and made arrangements for the next steps.

The main next steps are:

We are now planning to build a camp here to recruit student soldiers aged 14 to 22 with some cultural background. The first batch will include 10 to 20 people, who will receive cultural and military training. After they register and pass the assessment, they will receive a settling-in allowance of three oceans.

Cultural education is provided free of charge for children over 6 years old, but they are required to bring their own food. The school provides teachers and venues.

Finally, each person was awarded one dollar as a reward, and Zhou Kui and Li Long were given two dollars. They performed well and were praised by the whole team.

Everyone was happy after receiving the money, especially the 10 new team members who had not completed their training.
