Chapter 1821
Arrival at the Destination
Unfortunately, the guy called Tieming was probably blinded by money and completely ignored the three men's advice, saying dismissively:
“There’s no problem with that, damn it! This bridge was built by our village. No matter how much money we ask for, they have to pay. If they don’t pay, they won’t be allowed to cross. We have guns, what are we afraid of? We’ll just take them out and carry them on our backs in a bit. I don’t believe in that kind of thing.”
As he spoke, the young man said to the person next to him:
"Sanhuzi, go and get the gun my dad left here. I'll scare them to death."
Sanhuzi glanced at Tieming, then at the other two. Seeing that the other two remained silent, he turned and walked into the room.
At this moment, the older man clearly wanted to say something, but he only opened his mouth without making a sound.
Soon, the guy named Sanhuzi came out of the house, carrying a very old-looking flat double-barreled shotgun and a cloth bag.
The man named Tie Ming excitedly took the gun and cloth bag, skillfully pried open the barrel, took two bullets from the bag, and stuffed them in, muttering to himself:
"Damn it, with this guy in our hands, they'll give us whatever money we ask for, hahaha, hahahahaha!"
From the extremely greedy look in the eyes of this guy named Tie Ming, it was clear that because he had a gun, he was obviously up to no good and was no longer willing to accept only 2 cents for the bridge toll.
Tie Ming's laughter had barely faded when the older man frowned and advised:
"Tie Ming, my third uncle told us to guard this place to collect tolls for our village. This gun is for self-defense. You can't have any other ideas."
After this person finished speaking, another person, looking panicked, immediately said:
"Yes, Brother Tieming, my third uncle repeatedly told us that we should only collect the bridge toll, and we must not do anything like smashing the bridge."
The boy named Sanhu was on the verge of tears and immediately tried to comfort him:
"Brother Tieming, how about I put the gun and bullets back? If Uncle San finds out that I was the one who took the gun out for you, he'll skin me alive."
As he spoke, Sanhuzi reached up and grabbed the gun barrel, as if he was going to take the gun back into the house.
The guy named Tie Ming forcefully pulled the gun barrel back, and said to the three men with a look of impatience:
"Alright, alright, why is my dad's word so effective? Now that you're working for me, you have to listen to me."
Do you even know what it means to be a general in the field who can disobey orders? Look at all you cowards, you'll never leave Hongshitun in your entire lives.
After a pause, Tie Ming said with great dissatisfaction:
“You’re all worthless. Why didn’t you say you didn’t want the money before we took it? Damn, you’re wasting your good job by not making any money.”
What these four people didn't know was that because this guy named Tie Ming had become greedy, all four of them were severely punished.
Especially this guy named Tie Ming, although he didn't lose his life, he regretted it for the rest of his life.
Of course, the ones who punished them were none other than Wang An and his three companions.
More than an hour later, under Wang An's direction, the GAZ truck came to a steady stop next to the department store in JY County.
It has to be said that although JY County and DJ County are at the same level and are both counties, the difference between DJ County and JY County is too great, just like the difference between the city and the countryside.
Putting everything else aside, the size of this department store in JY County is almost comparable to that of the department store in Harbin.
After parking the car, Mu Xueli asked Wang Andao:
"Brother-in-law, shall we park the car here? Where is the person you're looking for?"
Wang An said with a completely indifferent expression:
“It’s fine, it doesn’t matter where we park. There are more people around here, so let’s park here.” After a pause, Wang An added:
"After we get off the car, Lao Wu, you come with me. Xue Li and Xiao Zhong, you two just wander around near the car and don't go too far. If we bring people over to check the goods later, as long as there's nothing else, neither of you should show yourselves. Do you understand?"
After Wang An finished speaking, Huang Zhong immediately agreed:
"Okay, I understand, big brother."
Mu Xueli, however, said:
"Okay, I got it, brother-in-law. Um, should we still be using the Type 56 assault rifle?"
Wang An thought for a moment and said:
"Take them. Anyway, these guns are all packed in sacks. You two can just carry them on your bodies."
After saying that, Wang An took the Type 56 assault rifle, which was completely wrapped in a sack, in his left hand and pushed open the car door with his right hand to get out of the car.
Wang Li, Mu Xueli, and Huang Zhong each got off the vehicle carrying a long, narrow sack.
After getting off the bus, Wang An led the way into the alley opposite the department store, and Wang Li immediately followed in Wang An's footsteps.
As for Mu Xueli and Huang Zhong, after looking around, they also walked a short distance away. However, after walking only about ten meters away from Gas, they slowed down and pretended to be strolling around.
Following Wang An's footsteps, Wang Li went straight into the alley. Wang An looked around as he walked deeper into the alley. Soon, the two of them crossed the alley and arrived at another street.
Compared to the street where the department store is located, the difference between this street and the street where the department store is located is huge. Not only is the road much narrower, but the houses on both sides also look very dilapidated.
It feels like you've gone straight from the city to the countryside.
At this moment, Wang Li stared in disbelief and said:
"Holy crap, I always thought JY County was all show and no substance. This place is so shabby and dilapidated, it doesn't even look as nice as the houses in our village."
Wang An rolled his eyes at Wang Li and said:
"You're such a troublemaker, you bastard. I didn't ask you to live here, so why do you care if it's dilapidated or not? Damn it, from now on, shut your mouth."
Wang Li glanced at Wang An, then remained silent.
Wang An looked around again, then walked straight to a gate and slapped it with his palm.
However, Wang An's knocking was different from normal knocking. He knocked four times in a row, paused for a short while, then knocked twice more, paused again, and then knocked three more times.
Then Wang An just stood there and stopped knocking.
It was obvious that Wang An's knocking was a code; anyone inside could tell what the person outside wanted just by hearing it.
The place Wang An came to was a place where not only guns could be sold, but also guns could be bought. It was a place that all the big shots like Wang An knew.
The owner of this place mainly deals with big shots like Wang An, since only big shots have the money to buy guns; ordinary people simply can't afford them.
However, Wang An was from the poor and arrogant group before, practically penniless, and never had the opportunity to do this kind of business with the people inside. (End of Chapter)
