Chapter 25 Twisted Times

After glancing at Liu Xiaohui who was kneeling on the ground with a puzzled face, the dry and skinny man who had just squeezed in was the first to lightly hug Li Ping, who was neatly dressed, and a smirk instantly appeared on his face.

"But General Manager Li? I am General Fang Guoan's General Manager Huang Chengdong. I was ordered to catch the thief today, brother...?"

Although it was an obvious smirk, and he went straight to the point when he came up, the politeness of the visitor was somewhat beyond Li Ping's expectations.

So, Li Ping hurriedly raised his hands and replied, "So it's Mr. Huang, it's a pleasure to meet you."

Then, Li Ping immediately turned his head and confessed to Ma Yong behind him: "You tell everyone to go out first, it's too crowded here."

The yard is not that big, of course it will be even more crowded if a few people squeeze in.Moreover, the soldiers on both sides are still guarding each other unconsciously, which creates a tense atmosphere in the air, which is not conducive to peace of mind, and it is easy to misfire.

Li Ping's proactive order also obviously surprised Huang Chengdong, he turned his head around in surprise, and his expression relaxed a little.

But soon, his eyes were attracted by Liu Xiaohui who asked the big stupid Liu San to pull him into the room.

Curiously, Li Ping also turned his head to look, and saw a graceful figure disappearing at the door of the room.

Li Ping's subordinates all went out, but Huang Chengdong's subordinates did not. The two people who squeezed in were still standing behind Huang Chengdong, but there were no more people coming in.

Li Ping did not dwell on this issue.

He smiled and pretended to be relaxed and said: "I'm really sorry, I really didn't know that there was an official business here today. Unfortunately, my general has some private matters to take care of, so I can only interrupt."

"Oh? I don't know what it is? Let's see if my brother can help you?" Huang Chengdong's smirk turned into doubt, and his expression became more tense, but he still didn't reveal even a hint of arrogance.

Li Ping suddenly decided, there is something to be said for this matter!
"It's a long story. To put it simply, my family's general's benefactor lived here for a while, and there are several familiar families who have made several grievances. Today, I am specially appointed to repay the favor. Repay kindness with kindness, repay grievances with grievances, and don't want to run into Huang's errand."

"Oh! So there is such a story. I said why is there such a big battle, no wonder, no wonder." Huang Chengdong's face was stunned.

"So, please ask Huang to make it easier for the head office." Li Ping followed closely with a smile.

However, Huang Chengdong did not answer Li Ping's words, but rolled his eyes and asked, "I don't know the name of your general?"

Seeing that Huang Chengdong didn't forget to ask the truth, Li Ping's heart was pounding.

He didn't want to report Zhao Jin's name, it would be easy to include Zhao Jin, but it would be more troublesome if he didn't report the truth. He just hoped that this guy's information was not so well-informed, otherwise he would really miss the bottom line. .

After hesitating for a while, Li Ping had no choice but to say "Guerrilla Zhao Jin".

But Huang Chengdong didn't show any doubts about Li Ping's obvious hesitation. He just muttered the words "Guerrilla Zhao Jin", then rolled his eyes back and forth, and then turned his gaze to Li Ping. After leaving the house, he didn't speak for a long time.

Huang Chengdong didn't speak, so Li Ping didn't say anything. He just kept smiling and looked at Huang Chengdong to show his calmness and fearlessness.

So, the two of them remained silent for a while.

……

"Haha."

Accompanied by two dry laughs, it was Huang Chengdong who broke the silence first.

"They are all brothers of my own family, so what is this trivial matter. Your general is so righteous, and Huang also admires him. Don't worry, Mr. Li, I will fulfill your general's wish, and let those short-sighted little The people know how powerful it is.”

Li Ping was taken aback, desperately suppressing the ecstasy that jumped out of his heart, trying to make himself appear calm and said: "Then interrupt."

"Be polite, be polite." Huang Chengdong was still smiling.

However, after shrugging his shoulders, Huang Chengdong suddenly showed embarrassment and scratched his head and said: "It's a bit messy here now, I recognize you, but I don't know how many rough men I have under my command. It's not beautiful to be confused. How about I let someone lead you to find someone, so as to avoid misunderstandings and save you from being unfamiliar with it and taking the wrong road?"

Li Ping understood what this guy was thinking as soon as he heard it, but he didn't dare to care about it, it would be too much to pretend.

So, he nodded and said, "Of course it's good. Mr. Huang, don't worry, I have a list here, and I'm looking for people according to the list. I won't make things difficult for Mr. Huang,"

After a big sigh of relief, Huang Chengdong smiled wretchedly and leaned over to Li Ping and said, "Brother, I am not a stingy person. If the brothers have taken a fancy to any other girl, you don't have to be polite, just take it away. Haha." After speaking, he deliberately glanced into the room.

As soon as Li Ping heard that this guy was thinking wrong, he still pretended to have a lewd expression and said: "Then thank Mr. Huang, brother, I will not be polite."

"Haha...haha..." The two laughed together.

Amidst the dissolute laughter, Li Ping suddenly had an idea, and he hurriedly said another sentence while he was warming up: "I'm not polite about those people's belongings?"

This time, Huang Chengdong's expression froze suddenly. He glanced at Li Ping and said sullenly, "Of course, of course."

Just as Li Ping wanted to thank her again, Huang Chengdong was already in a daze and opened his mouth again: "Go ahead, I have a young lady over there, she is really nice, I have to take care of her first, so I won't disturb Mr. Li's pleasure gone."

After finishing speaking, Mr. Huang Chengdong and the two subordinates behind him only said "Be with Mr. Li" and hurried away.

Huang Chengdong's hasty departure seemed very strange, as if he was a little afraid that Li Ping would make further progress, which was very puzzling.

However, Huang Chengdong's departure also made Li Ping, who had been tense in his heart, finally relax. He knew that he had passed the test, and his clothes were soon soaked in cold sweat.

It was a genuine fear.

Li Ping, who was sweating coldly and feeling very grateful, gradually seemed to understand something, and he soon became concerned.

After driving Huang Chengdong's two subordinates out to wait, Li Ping gathered all his senior officers and above into the courtyard for a meeting to unify the caliber.

Then, he decisively ordered: Liu San, the big fool, will lead everyone to go to the houses he is familiar with one by one immediately, and then leave one or a team of people in each family, pack up all the people and things that can be taken away, and bring them back to their resident. If you find anything that can be followed along the way, you can also follow along.

After giving the order, Li Ping slapped the stupid big man on the head twice, and said: "Don't be in a daze, if you want to save someone, hurry up. Leave this alone, I'll leave a few people behind and take their mothers away first." Take all the women back, your other neighbors are still waiting for you!"

The task was assigned to everyone, but Li Ping didn't follow. He just asked Duan Qiang to accompany him in the alley for a while, and then walked to the main street and paced slowly.

Li Ping didn't speak all the time, and he didn't interfere with the sufferings that passed by, but just looked around blankly.

Duan Qiang was also very witty and didn't say a word, he just led the horse and followed, which confused Huang Chengdong's subordinate who was following, and he didn't dare to ask.

Looking at the groups of men who were driven out and squatting on the street, Li Ping probably understood that this was going to be a forced recruitment incidentally, but he doubted how useful it would be to add these people to the army.

Most of these squatting men are thin, short, and old and weak, and there are only one out of ten men in their prime. Not to mention the difficulty of training, the possibility of making them work hard is too low.

After a long time, while Li Ping was still thinking about things, the big fool jumped over to report that he had found all the seven or eight households he knew well, and some of them had been arrested. He wants to come back too.

Looking at the excited silly big man, Li Ping felt a little relieved. He couldn't help everyone, and making those close to him happy was a good thing in itself, and it also gave him a glimmer of light in his battered heart.

But Huang Chengdong seemed to be giving him too much face.

However, now is not the time to ponder this matter, there are still some important things to do.

It's time to repay the favor, and it's time to complain. Such an opportunity should not be wasted.

What Li Ping was thinking about was the grain seller that the big fool Liu Sanji hated. Although he had changed his business, Li Ping reckoned that there might still be some surplus grain in his hands.After all, this is their line of business, and it is impossible not to keep a hand in such troubled times, and what Li Ping is most in short supply at present is food.

Especially since he already knew that this house was not a good one, Li Ping was so emotional that he wanted to snatch it up, otherwise he would have to take advantage of others.

Just do it, Li Ping immediately asked Duan Qiang to gather a few people and kill them.

However, this shop that changed careers to accept groceries was not on the imagined street, but in the depths of the alley, which was very contrary to business common sense.

After asking the stupid guy, I found out that when this hated family opened a grain store, the store was indeed on the street, at least it was there before Liu San finally left here.After hearing that there was a complete chaos outside, the family changed their business and moved to the depths of the alley.

Knowing the whole story, Li Ping also admired the brains of this family a little in his heart. It is really not easy to do food business in this era.

But no matter how smart you are, it may be useless when you encounter rebels.

When they arrived, they could tell from the outside that the grocery yard in the depths of the alley was unusually small, and it was quite a big house.It is estimated that I am used to being rich, and I am not so thorough in hiding clumsiness.But it was an absolute failure.

Sure enough, there were bursts of hog-killing calls coming from the yard at this time.

After Li Ping and his men entered, they saw more than a dozen officers and soldiers gathering chaotically in the spacious courtyard. They were hanging several stripped men and women from old locust trees in the middle of the courtyard and beating them violently.

Among them was a fat middle-aged woman with red wicker marks all over her chubby flesh, and she was the one who was howling.

Seeing this, Huang Chengdong's subordinates who followed Li Ping hurried over to talk to the leader of this group of officers and soldiers, while Li Ping and a few subordinates listened to the introduction of the stupid big man for the time being.

It turned out that the howling middle-aged woman was the proprietress, and the young woman being raped was her daughter.The skinny old man hanging from the tree is the boss, the half-sized man who is still hanging is the youngest son of the family, and the young man tied to the trunk is the other son of the family.

An old man, two and a half boys, two young women and a woman squatting in a group by the edge of the yard should be the servants of this family.

The missing son of this family is the eldest son, and it is said that he disappeared when the bandits captured Xiangyang. The family also disappeared for a long time at that time, and they did not know where they hid, and they did not come back until Xiangyang was recovered.

Just as he was talking, a group of Ming soldiers over there reluctantly stopped their work and looked towards Li Ping.

Li Ping felt those unwilling eyes, so he immediately cupped his hands to a group of Ming soldiers: "I'm sorry, brothers, we really have some grudges to avenge, so I'll accompany you first. No, you just take it away. You can also take away the daughter of this family and other people, and only leave the hostess and two sons of this family to me for revenge. Can you please make it convenient for you, brothers?"

The leader was a boss, he was obviously stunned when he saw that the general manager Li Ping was so polite, maybe he thought that everything must be kept!

After hesitantly confirming again, Na Shichang finally showed joy and hurriedly thanked him.

Li Ping was not surprised that they were so happy, after all, the status gap was too great.

Feeling that they got a good deal, these soldiers of the Ming army didn't have the nerve to go to the house to search again, and left with a pile of found treasures piled up in the yard. Everyone stayed behind.

When Na Shichang was leaving, he went to Li Ping and said, "Master, it's not because we don't know what is good or bad. People like this like to hide things. If you torture them hard, you will definitely gain more."

Since it was told that this was the last family, Huang Chengdong's cronies were also asked to leave with the Ming soldiers, so that Li Ping could do what he wanted to do.

But after they left, Li Ping asked his subordinates to put down the hanging people first.

He hesitated.

He suddenly found himself at a loss as to how to handle the situation.

Although when he came here, he was still thinking about whether he could have a good harvest, but after seeing the miserable situation of this family with his own eyes, he couldn't help it. This was a bit beyond his psychological bottom line.

At this time, Liu San, the big fool, was beside him and angrily talked about the bad deeds of this family, about their being rich and unkind, about the past when they forced their neighbors to death, and kept yelling for Li Ping to take care of them .

But Li Ping still couldn't make up his mind.

He should have been frightened by the anger of the big fool Liu San. The few people who were tied up kept begging for mercy as soon as they were put down. The fat woman even crawled to the feet of the big fool, sticking out her fat butt Shouting: "Grandpa Liu, Grandpa Liu, spare my family! Spare my family! My family is willing to be your cow or horse...".

Whistles and giggles soon sounded around, and Li Ping noticed that many of his subordinates had a strange gleam in their eyes, and desire was creeping up on every face, even Liu San, a big fool, began to swallow his saliva .

It was a dangerous sign that his men were slipping into the abyss of savagery, stimulated by scenes of sex and brutality.

Li Ping had to do something, he didn't want his men to become beasts too.

After ordering the silly big man Liu San to call more people to help, Li Ping ordered some of the remaining people to guard and some to go into the house to search for property and usable things, while he himself stood in the yard to prevent The situation further spiraled out of control.

After a while, Hu Zhongshan led more than a dozen men, women and children to file in from outside the courtyard. Most of them started to look bright as soon as they entered, and some even directly scolded and beat the family who had huddled together.

It turned out that most of the people brought by Hu Zhongshan were not Li Ping's soldiers, but the residents who had just been rescued. They had basically been bullied by this family, and immediately asked to come and help after getting the news.

Because no one controlled the behavior of these residents, they soon became more excited and bolder, and the sound of scolding, beating and crying for mercy quickly filled the entire courtyard.

Hu Zhongshan, who watched all this in a daze, couldn't help but exclaimed: "It really isn't a good product, it's so enviable, how many bad things have you done!"

Hu Zhongshan's words made Li Ping's heart tremble suddenly.

For such a bad guy, why should he hesitate?Whether it is a good person or a wicked person, the kindness of a woman will only make him gain nothing.

Therefore, Li Ping said to Hu Zhongshan without hesitation: "You go to host, torture these guys well, see if they have hidden any good things, and act as justice for the heavens."

Hu Zhongshan was overjoyed immediately, patted his chest and kept reassuring, and then the whole yard soon burst into applause, and everyone became excited.
