Chapter 1595 Prisoner

In the abandoned mine, Wei Ran temporarily stopped communicating with Young Master Cao and turned around and asked, "Squad leader, does Mr. Cao know the location of the camp?"

"Probably not"

Tian Xiaohu replied, but his tone was inevitably a little unconfident. "But the camp is indeed in Cao Da's territory."

"When was that nest built?" Wei Ran asked immediately.

"Summer"

Tian Xiaohu quickly continued to answer, "We dug a lot of nests in the summer and saved them for winter."

Wei Ran said as he spread the canvas on Master Cao Er's chest, "Just three questions, tell me the answers, and you can survive, or I'll leave you to the young master."

As he spoke, he asked without waiting for the other party's consent, "First question, where are we on this map?"< /p>

After a moment of hesitation, Master Cao came up with a Russian phrase, "rabbit hole."

"It seems you know this place too?" Wei Ran asked strangely in Russian.

"Is this the second question?"

"Are you sure you don't want to answer?" Wei Ran asked with a smile.

"I've known it for a long time"

Second Master Cao replied in Russian very cheerfully, "In the mine you just went to, there was a lot of opium hidden in one of them. There are also some weapons and an escape route."

"What are they used for?"

"This was the first place where my brother secretly smoked opium."

Cao The second young master sneered, "Our father doesn't allow us to touch opium, so he can only hide here.

But I discovered it very early, and that brainless fool even secretly He was engaged in the opium trade and made a lot of money. The opium he sold and his family property were also hidden here."

"Since you already knew this, why not"

Halfway through the words, Wei Ran also reacted, "Are you raising pigs?"

Looking at Wei Ran in surprise, Master Cao nodded, "You are very smart."

"Your hand-drawn map is not based on true north, right?" Weiran suddenly changed the question.

After a moment of silence, Young Master Cao nodded reluctantly, "Take the northwest direction as the top."

"Second question"

Wei Ran switched back to his native language, "Does Shopkeeper Cao know the location of our camp?"

"Yes, early on You know."

Master Cao also changed to Chinese, "These three forests and two ditches and eighteen blisters are my father's territory. There are many hunters like Hu Bazhi around. Water, Zhao Jinshan and his men dug a nest in the ground in the summer, and my father got the message before the turf was cleared."

"The third question"

Wei. Ran smiled and switched back to Russian again, "Where did you come from? In other words, why did you draw this map?What is the purpose? ”

Before Young Master Cao could speak, Wei Ran had already stood up and said, “I’ll answer after I think about it.”

After saying that, he had already picked up the canvas map on the other person’s chest. , "We have to send someone back immediately to report the situation and ask Captain Zhao and others to move immediately. "

"You guys wait here, I'll go right away! "Tian Xiaohu said without thinking.

"You are the squad leader, and you are the only one who knows the way. Nothing can happen to you. "Wei Ran said, "So it's me"

"It's me who goes! "

Hu Bazhi said before Wei Ran could finish, "I know the way back, give me the big white mule, and promise to deliver the news to Captain Zhao before the Japanese!" ”

“Otherwise I’ll go! Zhao Jinyu also said, "I went to find my brother just to fight the Japanese!" "

"I'm going! "

Miss Hongxia said indiscriminately, "Xiaohu, tell me where Captain Zhao is, I"

"Stop arguing"

"Sir, monitor, please be at ease! ”

Hu Bazhi patted his chest and made a promise. Then he did not waste any time. He sorted out the contents of the sack and put down all the things that were no longer needed. He untied the harness from the big white mule and tied it to the other mule. He immediately hugged the skis and led the big white mule out of the cold cave, and got back into the heavy goose feathers flying in the sky.

Until he could no longer see his back, Wei Ran closed the iron gate, and an oil lamp was lit in the cave.

"Tell me where the young master's things are hidden. "

Wei Ran asked as he squatted next to the second young master. The young master had just been guarded by the Sanba Gai with a bayonet held by Miss Hongxia.

"I'll go look for it! "

Zhao Jinyu said, having already picked up the flashlight left by Hu Bazhi.

"I'll go with you! "Tian Xiaohu said, having already drawn out the Nagant revolver from the second young master.

"Don't worry"

Wei Ran glanced at his face, which was full of cruelty and murder. The eldest young master was interested and continued to ask with a smile, "Where is the other exit of this mine? "

The second young master also glanced at his brother not far away who was already gnashing his teeth with hatred. The second young master continued to answer, "The second fork on the right side of the mine road, go in and go all the way to the end. There is one to the left. After entering the mine, go to the end. There is a ladder going down. Go down the ladder, then go to the end and climb up.You can see outside through a crack. "

Having said this, the second young master looked at the eldest young master again, "From the moment you enter the fork, there are explosives hidden behind every corner. Don't go in with an oil lamp. "

After a moment of hesitation, Wei Ran nodded towards Tian Xiaohu, who then called Zhao Jinyu and got into the low mine tunnel together.

"Hongxia Girl, please go to the cave entrance and keep an eye on me. Someone will come over and say hello. "Wei Ran raised his head and said.

"I'm going now! ”

Miss Hongxia did not doubt that he was there. She walked to the entrance of the mine carrying the 38-meter cover that she probably didn’t know how to use, and put her eyes on the gaps between the boards that were not yet covered with snow. Looking outside, there were only two captives, two wounded people and a certain veterinarian left in the mine. Wei Ran slowly lit a cigarette and stuffed it into Young Master Cao's mouth, and then took out another one. He put on the cigarette holder and lit it in his mouth, then he changed to Russian and spoke again, "Now you can answer the question. "

"I"

"You don't have to say it," Wei Ran reminded nonchalantly, "This matter is not important. "

The second young master subconsciously glanced at the eldest young master not far away. Knowing that he might not be able to escape, the second young master sighed and replied in Russian, "My mother is a fugitive nobleman from Belarus. After being caught by a merchant, she sold it to my father at a high price as a dancer. "

Hearing this, Wei Ran raised his eyebrows. This so-called "White Russia" is not the Belarus that Father Lu will absolutely control in later generations, but the remnants of Tsarist Russia who are dubbed the "White Bandits".

"So? "

Wei Ran asked after a moment of silence, "Is this the reason why you, your father and brother are not of the same mind? "

"One heart? "

The second young master smiled and said, "In their eyes, I am just a bastard of a dancing girl. My good brother always wants to find an opportunity to kill me legitimately, so as not to compete with him for the family property. . "

"So you made this map yourself?"

Second Master Cao nodded after a brief silence and gave an answer that pointed directly to the root cause, "I don't want to be My brother was killed, and I even wanted to save my mother. She was old and might be killed by my father one day. So my only way was to become the leader of the bandits, or to destroy my father's trump card. "

"You know what I want to ask?" Wei Ran shook the canvas map in his hand.

"Kill my brother and I will tell you the answer. "Second Master Cao made a promise while avoiding the most important thing, "I promise that you will all survive, including that woman. "

"Let me guess."

After Wei Ran tried to spin the canvas map on his fingertips to no avail, he asked slowly, "You are Do you want the Anti-Japanese Alliance to join your forces, and then blame Shopkeeper Cao and the Young Master? "

"I like to cooperate with smart people."

Second Master Cao said as if he had a chance to win, "Hu Bazhi didn't have time to rush back to report the news.", you have no choice. There was no exchange of fire except for a single shot. My father may have reached an agreement with the Japanese, and he must be leading them to surround Captain Zhao and the others. "

"Are you sure that the Japanese will believe you? Are you sure you can get other people to side with you? "Wei Ran asked pretending to be excited.

"The water is shallow this year, and the men on the mountain can't tell many red cabinets at all. "

As he spoke, the second young master Cao glanced at the mine, then at the eldest young master not far away, and directly changed to Chinese and said, "But we are rich, and there are no four beams or eight pillars on the mountain." Having trouble with money.

If you include those from the Anti-Union League, we will have money, people and Xiangzi. It's winter now, and whether it's a hairy or a jumping person, it has to find a place to win the winter.

As long as you, Captain Zhao, are willing to rely on my kiln to help destroy my father's four pillars, I can guarantee that the Japanese will never cause any trouble to you. "

"Sounds quite tempting"

Wei Ran said, but he held his chin and pulled it, and with a crisp sound, he temporarily helped him Manually banned.

What the second young master said may be true, but it is definitely not the whole story.

He has learned it from chatting with people around him these days. , this banditry is also a seasonal occupation.

Every winter, most of the bandits on each mountaintop will pay dividends at the end of the year, and return to their respective homes with their harvest, waiting for everything to recover in the next spring. Jushantou continued their business without capital.

Even the "cat winter" in the Northeast dialect was still a slang used by bandits at this time.

This involves. One problem is that even if they really help the second young master to usurp the throne, the bandits will be temporarily disbanded.

By then, the second young master will probably be able to sell out the anti-alliance team and borrow money from the Japanese. Get rid of them, get some benefits and trust from the Japanese, and then wait for the coming spring to inherit the father's inheritance.

As for the freedom of his aristocratic mother, this kind of ghost story. Just listen, whoever takes it seriously is a fool.

Patting the chin of the second young master who was dangling, Wei Ran walked over carrying the piece of canvas that he couldn't turn. Next to Young Master Cao, he helped him untie the belt around his mouth, took out the box cannon and said, "You heard it just now, Young Master, it's your turn, what do you have to say? If I have nothing to offer, then I will..."

"Wait! Wait a moment! "

Master Cao suppressed his panic and said loudly and wisely, "Me! I join the Anti-League! I took you to raid my father’s house! right! Let Captain Zhao be the boss then! Let that bastard and my father take the blame! From now on I will follow you to fight the Japanese! I am determined to fight the Japanese with you! I've changed my ways! "

"So generous? "

Wei Ran smiled, untied the belt around the eldest young master's wrist, and pulled his dislocated hand to the entrance of the cave.

Nodding to the sentry girl Hongxia, Wei Ran handed her the map and gestured for help in stretching it. He himself helped the eldest young master restore a dislocated arm to its original shape, and then pointed his finger at the key in the map. The Russian marked the location of the "Hare Hole" and said, "This is our current location, directly above is the northwest direction.

Tell me where the other points are. Remember to keep your voice down, Don't let your bastard brother hear this."

Hearing this, Young Master Cao looked at the map subconsciously. After thinking about it for a while, he raised his left hand that he could use just now and pointed at the map. He marked the location of "Brown Bear" in Russian and said, "This should be the location of our reunion hall. It is also the place where my father usually drinks and eats meat to discuss matters."

Hearing this, Wei Ran smiled and said, "Continue, if you can recognize it, I will help you kill your bastard brother later."

Young Master Cao was not very happy because of these words. , just glanced fearfully at the box cannon held by Wei Ran in his other hand, and honestly "translated" the remaining parts one by one.

It was through his translation that Wei Ran was able to determine that this map was simply the "Shantouer Defense Map of Shopkeeper Cao".

In addition to the various markings inside, in addition to the open caves and hidden lairs of this group of bandits, there are also the patrol routes and resting places of various mountain patrol posts, as well as their granaries and dungeons. There are various locations, and there is even the location of an anti-alliance camp.

It can be said that as long as this thing is thrown out, Shopkeeper Cao and his gang can be destroyed in an instant, and there will be no more secrets in this forest.

"One more question, why do you want your brother to die so much?" Wei Ran asked curiously while putting away the canvas map he had marked extra.

"My father still has a serious business."

The eldest young master was happy, but he also said with deep resentment, "Those businesses in Special Code are well run, not as good as Is it easy to get money by hiding in a poor ravine and kidnapping people?

My stupid dad is always thinking of giving the business to him and leaving the hard work of robbing families to him. "Me."

"So you are going to kill him?"

"What if?"

Young Master Cao replied matter-of-factly, "Kill him?" Little bastard, it’s best to kill my stupid father, so that I can take over his business. No matter whether I go to Fengtian or Bingcheng, my life will not be as happy as this Langcaozigou?”

Fuck.

Wei Ran twitched the corner of his mouth. It was so obvious that Old Man Cao had split up the family. If he gave the business to the boss and the business of robbing families to the second brother, he would not be able to protect them all. It can really make some big moves.

However, both brothers are jealous of what the other may get, but at the same time they are unwilling to give up the part that they don't want to get at all.

While he was muttering secretly, Tian Xiaohu and Zhao Jinyu alsoHe came back with a flashlight.

Seeing this, Wei Ran pinched open the eldest young master's elbow joint again without any spirit of contract, blocked his mouth again, returned to the "living room" of the mine, and tied him up again. On a mule's harness.

"We found a lot of good things"

Zhao Jinyu said excitedly, "We found a lot of smoke and soil, which can weigh sixty or seventy kilograms. One kilogram is a tin can. Silver dollars I found a large box.

In addition, I also found several Japanese carbines and Japanese carbines, all hidden at the intersection. Each one was loaded with a gun. I found a lot of spears."

"What are the spears?" Wei Ran asked curiously.

“In the past, the trap used by ginseng pickers to prevent ginseng from being stolen was a gunpowder gun with a trip wire hidden in tree holes, treetops, or simply buried. A piece of iron sand is punched out at the designated position. When they hit the kiln, they are most afraid of stepping on this thing, which may break their legs or kill them."

Tian Xiaohu explained for a while and then turned around. And continued, "In addition to these things, we also found another exit. On the other side of the mountain ridge, there is a frozen river ditch outside, which is very well hidden."

"My side That’s about it.”

As Wei Ran said, he also “turned on the microphone” for the second young master with a teeth-searing click, and even massaged his soreness by the way. joints.

"Last question"

As Wei Ran spoke, he put his gun to the second young master's forehead, "What are the marks on this map?"

Looking at the eldest young master with a "You're dead" look on his face, the second young master sighed feebly and honestly described the meaning of each position - a big difference from what the eldest young master said. Not bad.

If Wei Ran had killed any of them early, or if the eldest young master had not impatiently made such a stupid condition as "kill my brother", then both of them would have still been able to negotiate. chips.

Unfortunately, after one wrong step and another wrong step, the two brothers, who resented each other, let Wei Ran lead them to perform an almost standard "Prisoner's Dilemma".

After squeezing out the last bit of information about the two scumbag brothers, Wei Ran immediately briefly recounted the key questions he had asked, "Everything else is easy to say, but this picture can destroy Shopkeeper Cao." Yes, but it’s not that important at the moment. What’s important is that if Mr. Cao has already led the Japanese towards our camp, will Hu Bazhi be able to catch up and report the news?”

“Let’s go. We have to make some noise to delay the captain's time."

Tian Xiaohu made the decision almost subconsciously, "Yes, we have to make some big noise!"

As he spoke, , he turned to look at the weapons and equipment that had just been brought in, and then asked, "Brother Wei, I remember that you can use the Japanese grenade?"

"Can use it" Wei Ran nodded, He smiled and asked, “Where do you plan to fight?”

“Let’s go put a few stars in the Juyi Hall of Shopkeeper Cao Da!” "

Tian Xiaohu said with murderous intent, "I won't believe that Shopkeeper Cao won't come back to save people when the time comes! I don't believe the Japanese couldn't tell it was their grenade! "

"What about after the fight? "Wei Ran asked.

"Run! "

Tian Xiaohu said matter-of-factly, "As long as the Japanese chase back, we will run away. This time of going back and forth will be enough to delay us for a long time." It looks like the snow outside can keep falling for a long time. We will definitely be able to run away. ”

“Done! ”

Without waiting for Wei Ran to agree or refuse, Zhao Jinyu slapped his thigh and agreed to Tian Xiaohu’s arrangement.

Seeing that both of them were looking at him, Wei Ran paused for a moment. After hesitating, he asked, “What should I do with the wounded? What should these two young masters do? "

"Sister Hongxia, come here! Tian Xiaohu immediately shouted, "Brother Jinyu, go to the cave and get some flower traps and some ground guns." ”

“Hey! What's up, bro? "

Miss Hongxia who was watching at the entrance of the cave ran back quickly. At the same time, Zhao Jinyu also got into the mine tunnel again.

"Sister Hongxia, take the this. "

As Tian Xiaohu said, he had already taken out the flower-mouthed musket that he had just seized from the young master's arms and handed it to the other party, "We will fight for our lives later, these two wounded people. I'll leave it to you to take care of me. In addition, you have to look after the two young masters of the Cao family. "

"Huh? I I look at them? "Miss Hongxia, who subconsciously took the pistol, pointed at herself and asked.

"We don't have enough manpower, so we can only trouble Hong"

"Hi! What to say! This is what I can do! "

Hongxia reacted and immediately agreed happily, then asked, "How to use this little pistol? "

"I'll teach you later"

Tian Xiaohu said, "Sister Hongxia, just stay here and keep watch. There is enough food in the things we left behind. Drink. We just went to the mine and saw a lot of wood that can be used for burning. You must be careful not to let the devils and bandits find you. "

"No! I'm not stupid! "Miss Hongxia replied with suppressed excitement.

"In addition, when Hu Bazhi comes back, you ask him to make another trip immediately and ask the captain to arrange for people to re-deliver supplies and wounded people. Tian Xiaohu continued, "Tell him that I will destroy the letter he asked me to deliver when I reach the end of the road." "

Hearing this, Miss Hongxia's face panicked, "What are you going to do? !"

"We have to hold back the Japanese and bandits," Tian Xiaohu said, "otherwise the captain and the others will be surrounded. ”

With a silent sigh, Wei Ran stopped delaying. After thinking for a while, he took off the clothes of the two young masters of the Cao family, and then dug out the two young masters from the pile of weapons. The grenades, and the two Japanese backpacks filled with grenades!

Tian Xiaohu almost taught Hongxia how to do it!When he turned the safety switch on and off, loaded the bullet and fired, Zhao Jinyu also ducked out of the mine tunnel.

At this time, he was holding three flower traps from the Daku Factory in his hands, and two ammunition bags containing six long magazines were hung around his neck. In addition to the flashlight in his other hand, He was also carrying five or six so-called ground guns.
