Republic of China: Guandong Ginseng King

Chapter 199 Ambush
After making sure Jiang Yongzhang was dead, Chen Yunzhe had him thrown into an abandoned well in the deserted courtyard.

Then, Chen Yunzhe took Qiyun and the other men away.

Qu Shaoyang, along with Xing Jia and Xing Ye, tore their clothes, deliberately stained them with blood, and then rode their horses at full speed to Tong's mansion.

"Quick, go report to Grandpa and Grandma, and tell them that something happened to the Jiang family. The little white wolf gang attacked the Jiang family compound."

The horse arrived at the gate of Tong's mansion. Qu Shaoyang fell off the horse, stumbled and knocked on the door, and spoke to the gatekeeper breathlessly.

Qu Shaoyang had accompanied Jiang Yongzhang to Tong's house before, and the doorman knew him.

Upon hearing this, he hurriedly passed the message inside. It was already dusk, and the Tong family was all there, preparing to have dinner.

When the doorman reported this, Mr. Tong and Jiang Yuhui and his wife were immediately shocked and quickly asked someone to call in the messenger.

Qu Shaoyang and Xing Jiaxingye staggered in and knelt down directly in front of Uncle Tong and Jiang Yuhui.

"Uncle, aunt, please save me.

The Little White Wolf Gang, with about one or two hundred men, surrounded our house in the middle of the night yesterday.

This gang of them was strong in both men and horses and killed many of our gunners and guards.

I and a few others followed the master's orders and fought our way out to the city to report the news and ask for help from Master Tong to save the old and young in the family."

The little white wolf died at the hands of Qu Shaoyang, and the matter has never been spread.

Qu Shaoyang and the Chen brothers had already discussed it, and this time, they would act under the name of the Little White Wolf Gang.

Anyway, the little white wolf gang has done so many evil things that this crime is not a big deal.

In this way, the disaster was diverted to another place. Even if the incident happened on the day, the government could only arrest the little white wolf gang and could not find the Chen brothers.

As soon as Qu Shaoyang said this, Jiang Yuhui's eyes suddenly went dark, and she fell down.

Fortunately, there was a maidservant nearby who was smart and supported Jiang Yuhui so she didn't fall.

"Help grandma back to the house first." When the old man of the Tong family saw this, he quickly ordered someone to send Jiang Yuhui back to her room to rest.

“You are someone close to Yongzhang, right?
I remember you were in the city with Yongzhang a few days ago, why did you come from Jiang's compound again?" Uncle Tong stared at Qu Shaoyang and asked.

"In reply to your question, my master said that he wanted to do a big business, but he didn't have enough money, so he sent me back to the Jiang family to raise money.

I stayed at home for a few days, waiting for the money to be raised and sent over.

Unexpectedly, before enough money was raised, the little white wolf gang attacked.

Five or six of us risked our lives to deliver the letter, and several others were accidentally shot.

Fortunately, I am fine, so I rushed over to report the news." Qu Shaoyang replied in detail.

"Master, our master said that for the sake of our relationship, you must help us."

Qu Shaoyang knelt on the ground and kowtowed continuously.

Since something happened in his father-in-law's family, Uncle Tong naturally couldn't just ignore it.

Immediately, he called for help, gathered forces, and went to the Jiang family compound to rescue.

"By the way, where is Yongzhang? Where is Yongzhang? Quick, send someone to look for him in the other courtyard."

Uncle Tong suddenly remembered Jiang Yongzhang and quickly sent someone to look for him.

But the people who were sent out searched for a long time but couldn't find any trace of Jiang Yongzhang.

Not only did Jiang Yongzhang disappear, but even the guards around him were nowhere to be seen.

Uncle Tong was so angry that he started cursing, but he had no other choice. He couldn't see anyone and cursing was useless.

In desperation, Uncle Tong had to take his men and leave in a hurry.

"Brother, should we report this to the authorities? It would be best if the government could send troops to suppress the bandits.

Otherwise, relying on the people in our house alone, I'm afraid it won't be enough, right?" Master Tong still had some concerns, so he suggested.

"It's too late. There aren't many soldiers in the county. We can only rely on the constables in the government office. They can't catch up with our manpower. If we want to mobilize a large number of troops, we have to go to the Phoenix City Military Preparation Office. It will take too much time to go back and forth.

Now I don't know what's going on with the Jiang family, so how can I have time to go back and forth?"

Uncle Tong shook his head, saying that the government office was not run by their family.

When everything is fine, everyone is fine, but when something really serious happens, we can't rely on the government at all.

While they were arguing, he brought his people to the Jiang family.

"The Jiang family has about 50 to 60 people, including gunners and guards, and the men in the family can also shoot.

I guess it won't be possible for the little white wolf gang to break in for a while.

I will bring some men over and attack them from both inside and outside, and we will drive them back first."

Master Tong thought about it and realized that those people in the government would not be willing to work for you for free without real money.

"Then let me and the third brother come with you. More people means more help."

As the saying goes, brothers fight together to fight tigers, and fathers and sons fight together in battle. The three brothers of the Tong family have a good relationship. In this situation, they brothers will definitely try their best to help.

In this way, the three brothers of the Tong family took fifty or sixty servants to guard the house, fully armed, and rode fast horses out, leaving the fourth brother of the Tong family to guard the house.

It was more than a hundred miles from the county town to the Jiang family compound. It was already dark when the Tong family set out.

Of course they couldn't travel fast at night, and it would take them at least two hours to reach the Jiang family compound.

Qu Shaoyang and Xingjiaxingye were able to follow Uncle Tong at the beginning.

But they had rushed here desperately to report the news, and they were exhausted, and gradually they fell to the back of the team.

The Tong family didn't care and just focused on moving forward.

The journey from the county town to Jiang's house is so long that it is impossible to have a smooth journey. There are many valleys and forests in the middle.

Walking at night naturally involves many dangerous factors.

The three brothers of the Tong family were so eager to save people that they didn't care about so many things. Moreover, they relied on their numbers and didn't take it to heart. They just lit the torches and continued to move forward.

Just as these fifty or sixty people were passing through a valley, several trip ropes were suddenly tightened on the road.

The person in front was caught off guard and fell off his horse immediately.

At this moment, a burst of gunfire rang out on the hillsides on both sides.

The servants of the Tong family who were guarding the house were shot unexpectedly, and several of them died on the spot.

"It's bad, we've been ambushed, retreat quickly."

The three brothers of the Tong family were in the middle of the team. There was an ambush in the front and many people were killed or injured. Uncle Tong reacted immediately, turned his horse around and ran back.

However, at this time, Qu Shaoyang and the brothers Xingjia Xingye had already dismounted and hid behind the big trees and boulders.

The three men were using quick-firing rifles, and they aimed at the three brothers of the Tong family and kept shooting.

In the chaos, Uncle Tong was shot in the head by Qu Shaoyang, fell off his horse and died on the spot.

The second and third masters of the Tong family were also shot in the chaos and their lives or deaths are unknown.

At this time, on the hillsides on both sides, more than a hundred bearded men were holding rifles and shooting non-stop.

The servants and guards of the Tong family had no power to fight back and they all fell down in a short time.

"Big brother, second brother, this way."

Qu Shaoyang took the initiative to speak and greet Chen Yunzhe and the others. The two sides met, high-fived and celebrated, and then everyone began to clean up the battlefield.

“The guns and bullets were all taken away, and any horses that were not seriously injured were taken away.

Check to see if the people are dead or not, and if they are not dead, shoot them all again, leaving no one behind."
