Gui Xunce said with a grimace: "But even if I use gold and jewelry to offset it, I can't raise more than half a million. There really isn't that much. Sir, can you give me a small reduction?"
Xu Rui's face turned cold. He had already seen that Gui Xunce really didn't want to spend so much money. However, it was easy to understand. For a miser like Gui Xunce, it would be a waste of 100,000 yuan to redeem him. He was already bleeding heavily, and if he had to pay half a million oceans, it would be easier to kill him.
It seems that some ingredients must be added, otherwise this old guy will never pay for it.
So Xu Rui said: "President Gui, let's just open the skylight and speak frankly. You have to take these five hundred thousand oceans, or you can take them. The only difference is that you take them out yourself. Or should we go to your house to pick it up? If you take it out yourself, everything will be easy, and the matter of you being a traitor will be wiped out. But if we wait until we come to pick it up, it will not be that simple. President Gui, you can't run away. , I’m afraid that the people in the house won’t be able to escape, they will all have to be judged by the villagers, and I’m afraid the final result won’t be that wonderful.”
Gui Xunce was a little dumbfounded. Is this a blatant personal threat
"You, how could you do this?" Gui Xunce said tremblingly.
"That's it for us, what's wrong?" Xu Rui said coldly.
Seeing that Gui Xunce was still hesitating, Xu Rui became annoyed and turned around and said: "Captain Zhao, immediately send an infantry company to Gui Gui's house and confiscate all the property of the Gui family, including land deeds and house deeds. , auction and confiscation.”
Xu Rui was actually just pretending. Firstly, auctioning real estate and property was too time-consuming. Secondly, no one knew what relationship Gui Xunce had with a certain senior official of the Nationalist Government. What if he was inextricably linked to the Nationalist Government? If he files the complaint to the military headquarters again, he will have to bear the consequences and walk away. He is still carrying the punishment on his back.
So Xu Rui hopes to get cash or jewelry.
But Gui Xunce didn't know it and was immediately frightened to death by Xu Rui.
"You have to have it." Zhao Baishi turned around and called a company commander and ordered, "Old Seven, go and seize the Gui family for me."
Seeing the Sichuan Army company commander turn around and walk out, Gui Xunce finally gave up. He collapsed on the ground and wailed: "Sir, wait a minute, wait a minute, I'm willing to pay, I'm willing to pay half a million oceans."
If Gui Xunce doesn't give in, it's not going to work. If he doesn't give in, not only will he be unable to save his life, but he will also be unable to save his house and the tens of thousands of acres of farmland outside the city. If he gives in, he can still save his old house and the fields.
"It's so easy to end it so early." Xu Rui snorted and ordered the Sichuan Army company commander to lead a platoon and go with Gui Xunce to the house to collect money and gold, silver and jewelry.
In the end there was only one Cao Xun left.
But before the trial could begin, Zuan Shanbao, who was guarding the communications office over there, came over.
"Captain, there is a signal coming in from the radio station." As a wolf fang, Zuanshanbao has a necessary skill to operate the radio station.
In fact, in Xu Rui's plan, Langya not only has to receive radio training and car driving training, but will also have to receive tank driving training and even flying skills training in the future.
However, it is not possible at this stage.
At that moment, Xu Rui followed Zuan Shanbao to the communications office in the east wing, and sat in front of the radio. Zuan Shanbao handed over the code book and paper he found from the Japanese communications corpsman, and asked Zhuan Shanbao to receive the report. There was no problem, but he He couldn't understand the Japanese symbols on the codebook, so Xu Rui had to do it himself.
After transcribing the dots and dashes, and then comparing it with the code book and translating it into Japanese, it turned out to be a routine inquiry from the Eleventh Army Headquarters to Xingzi County. It was to ask, has Xingzi County been attacked? Xu Rui wrote in Japanese that everything was business as usual, translated it into dots and dashes according to the code book, and then asked Zhuanshan Leopard to take a picture.

At this time, Itagaki Seishiro had moved his headquarters to Jiujiang City.
Although Jiujiang has just experienced a major sulfur bombing by the Japanese army, and the entire city was burned to devastation, it is always no problem to find a few complete buildings, especially in the north of the city, where there are many factories because it is close to the dock. and warehouses, which are all reinforced concrete buildings and are relatively strong.
This was also the main reason why Xu Rui retreated to Beicheng District.
Itagaki Seishiro's headquarters was located in an abandoned factory in Beicheng District.
Ueno Kame walked into Itagaki's office with two telegrams and reported immediately: "Your Excellency, Commander, we have just received a reply from Xingzi. Everything in Xingzi County is normal, and there has been no attack by the 799th Regiment of the Sichuan Army. In addition, the aviation reconnaissance It is also reported that the main force of the 799th Regiment of the Sichuan Army has been found near Xikuling."
"Suoga." Itagaki Seishiro nodded and said, "So, the intention of the 799th Regiment of the Sichuan Army is already obvious, which is to go to Mahuiling and De'an to join the National Army heading north." There was a pause. Next, Seishiro Itagaki said with a ferocious smile, "But unfortunately, the National Army that went north has withdrawn, haha."
The Nationalist Army that was ordered to go north to De'an and Mahuiling has indeed withdrawn.
Kame Ueno nodded and continued: "However, Commander, there is something very strange."
"Really?" Itagaki Seishiro said nonchalantly, "Ueno-san, what makes you strange?"
Ueno Kamefu said: "According to the aviation reconnaissance report, the 799th Regiment of the Sichuan Army did not turn west after passing through Xiguling, but continued southward towards Hualin Town, so I am worried that the Sichuan Army The 799th Regiment may not necessarily go to the direction of Mahuiling, maybe it will make a big circle along Poyang Lake and then withdraw to southern Anhui?"
"No." Itagaki Seishiro said with certainty, "This is just Xu Rui's trick. Let the 56th Infantry Regiment and the Botian Detachment be on standby in Mahuiling Town."
"Hai." Ueno Kamefu paused heavily and turned around.

The day passed quickly and the sky gradually darkened.
Xingzi County was calm, and the lives of ordinary people were not greatly affected.
But then again, although Xu Rui has not implemented martial law in Xingzi County, he will not really let it go. If not, there is no chance that any second-rate person will report to the Japanese for a small reward. It was too big, so Xu Rui secretly set up a guard post outside the city to prevent anyone from informing him.
But in the end, no one reported it to the little devil.
In the evening, Liu Shuming, Gui Xunce, and Cao Xun's ransoms were delivered.
In addition to Liu Shuming and the other three, Xu Rui also captured dozens of traitors from the puppet military garrison, police station and maintenance committee. Based on the principle that mosquitoes are still meat even if they are small, he also asked these traitor leaders to ransom themselves. The ransom increased There are actually more than 500,000 yuan in total. These more than 500,000 yuan are all piled up in the yard of the gendarmerie.
In addition to more than half a million yuan, there are also gold and silver jewelry worth more than one million yuan.
Looking at the ocean and gold and silver jewelry piled up in the yard, Xu Rui had worries about happiness again.
How to bring so many oceans and gold and silver jewelry back to Damei Mountain? More than half a million yuan is just a dozen tons in the ocean. It is definitely not possible to rely solely on the officers and soldiers of the 799th Regiment of the Sichuan Army. Each person carries dozens of kilograms of silver coins, not to mention weapons and ammunition. There is another one with such a With so much money, you still have the heart to fight
It seems that I can only find a place to bury it first and come back to pick it up later when I have the opportunity.
At that moment, Xu Rui asked Leng Tiefeng to find an ox cart and asked him to take a platoon of Sichuan troops to transport the ocean and gold, silver and jewelry out of Xingzi County and find a secret place to bury them.
The next step is to cut moso bamboo to build bamboo rafts.
The labor force is also readily available. The more than 500 Japanese soldiers, puppet policemen, and plainclothes soldiers are free labor force, and each of them is very well-behaved. Without much supervision, they start to work hard to cut moso bamboo to build bamboo rafts.
There is strength in numbers, and by midnight, more than 60 bamboo rafts had been built.
Sixty bamboo rafts can transport 300 people across the lake at one time, and they all passed in two trips.
Xu Rui immediately used the radio to send a telegram to the 799th Regiment of the Sichuan Army, ordering them to turn around and go north immediately. After Xiao Taohong received the telegram, the main force of the 799th Regiment of the Sichuan Army immediately turned around and headed north.
Everything was going smoothly at first, but Xu Rui was still at a loss.
After all, Xu Rui is a human being, not a god, and he will make mistakes after all.
Xu Rui did not expect that Bantan Seishiro would send the Oluhara Brigade to follow the 799th Regiment.
Since the 799th Regiment of the Sichuan Army broke out from Jiujiang, Oluhara Junsi and his special forces have followed the 799th Regiment from a distance. During the day, they basically will not appear, but will be handed over to the aviation reconnaissance force. Tracking, only at night will the Oluhara team be dispatched to take over the tracking from the aviation force.
Because of this, Xiaoluyuan Junsi did not know that Xingzi County had been occupied by the 799th Regiment.
But as soon as the 799th Regiment of the Sichuan Army turned around and headed north, the Xiaoluyuan team appeared immediately.
"Captain, why did the Chinese go back?" Takeo asked in a low voice, "What's going on?"
"Isn't this obvious?" Igarashi said, "The Commander has already said that this is Xu Rui making a fool of himself. Now he is turning around and heading back. He is going to Mahuiling Town."
"Go to Mahuiling?" Takeo on the mountain said cheerfully, "That's asking for death!"
Oluhara Junsi did not say anything, but continued to observe with his telescope. Fifteen minutes later, the 799th Regiment of the Sichuan Army walked past the foot of the mountain where the Oluhara team was hiding, and then came to a three-way intersection. Go northwest and you will reach Ma After returning to Ling Town, heading northeast is Xiguling, which is also the direction from which the 799th Regiment of the Sichuan Army came.
Xiaoluyuan Junsi originally thought that the 799th Regiment of the Sichuan Army would go northwest, but in the end, the 799th Regiment of the Sichuan Army went straight to the northeast branch and headed towards Xiguling.
"What happened?" Igarashi asked in astonishment, "Why did you go to Xikuling?"
Oluhara Junsi's brows suddenly tightened, something was wrong! (To be continued.)
