Chapter 482 If I don't kill you, who else will I kill?
The Zhao family is finished.
After all, he was educated and knew the meaning of some idioms.
The unknown bandits robbed the transport vehicle and then fled. The higher-ups may not be able to find out which hill the bandits were responsible for the robbery, but that doesn't mean they have no other options.
The direction this army was heading was obviously towards Hexi Town, but his eldest brother was colluding with the bandits in Yuncui Mountain. The bandits in Yuncui Mountain were the most powerful group in the local area.
The above is to kill the chicken to scare the monkey.
"Dad, what are you thinking about?" Zhao Lingling realized that something was wrong with her father and turned around to ask.
Zhao Feng spat with his eyes wide open: "Your uncle... Oh, forget it, let's go back."
I have said it before, don't collude with bandits. The Zhao family has already occupied Hexi Town, and we should be content as the higher-ups turn a blind eye. However, my eldest brother doesn't understand this, and has been going more and more excessive over the years.
He admitted that because of his collusion with the bandits, Hexi Town was not robbed by the bandits. However, the other villages and towns were devastated, and even his eldest brother provided them with information.
This is really going too far.
This time, Zhou Weiguo brought a battalion of troops and a medical company to encircle and suppress the rebellion, and the rest of the troops stayed behind for training. The reason for doing this was that Zhao Xiang Xiuling mentioned that if three battalions were sent, the Zhao family and Wang Yun would not act rashly in view of the strong army, but if it was just a battalion of troops, they would take risks.
An anti-aircraft machine gun was also brought over, but it was inside a truck and covered with canvas. A platoon from the medical company came over, led by Fan Xiaoyu.
Just now, Zhao Lingling saw a truck passing by. What she saw was a female soldier sitting on the truck. She was wearing a military uniform, carrying an emergency backpack, and had a pistol hanging around her waist.
She also wanted to join the army and kill the enemies to serve her country, but her father wouldn't let her go, saying that such a place was very dangerous.
To get to Hexi Town, you have to cross a bridge. This bridge was built with money from the Zhao family. In order to collect money, the Zhao family arranged a guard team here to collect money from the people passing by. The county could not do anything about it. So they just turned a blind eye.
Zhao Lin didn't know whether he was crazy or what, but after the troops arrived, he carelessly ordered the guards to stop the troops who were about to cross the bridge.
"What's going on ahead?" Zhou Weiguo, who was in the car thinking about how to encircle and suppress the Yuncui Mountain bandits, noticed that the car had stopped and asked with a frown.
"Second in command, I'll go take a look." Zhao Shoutian opened the door and got out, then ran over like a gust of wind. Not long after, he ran back and stood by the door of the truck. "Second in command, the guards from Hexi Town stopped us, saying that the bridge was built with money from their Zhao family, and that they would charge anyone who passed through it."
Zhao family.
That's really amazing! I haven't even met you yet and you're already trying to show me your power.
Zhou Weiguo chuckled twice and prepared to get out of the car. Zhao Xiang Xiuling, who was driving next to him, stopped Zhou Weiguo and asked Zhao Shoutian: "Shoutian, who is the person who led the interception?"
"Captain of the Hexi Town Guard, Zhao Qiang's third brother Zhao Lin."
County Magistrate Chen has already told you about the Zhao family's situation.
The three brothers of the Zhao family, Zhao Qiang and Zhao Lin, were in cahoots with each other. The second brother, Zhao Feng, was an honest man. He couldn't stand what they did, so he moved to Hedong Village, but it was still under the management of Hexi Town.
Zhao Xiang Xiuling knocked on the steering wheel; "Boss, kill Zhao Lin."
Killed Zhao Lin?
Zhou Weiguo was a little confused. Zhao Xiang Xiuling laughed, "My good man, hatred will blind a person's eyes and make him make wrong judgments. Killing Zhao Lin will make Zhao Qiang desperate and make him go to Wang Yun to collude with Wang Yun for revenge. This will be good for our efforts to wipe out Yuncuishan."
It was no secret that Zhao Lin bullied men and women. People in Zhaojia Town had actually been dissatisfied for a long time, but there was nothing they could do about it. Killing him would not be considered as killing innocent people.
"Killing this person who stood out was both a deterrent and a coercion."
"I understand." Zhou Weiguo nodded and got out of the car, then came to the front accompanied by Zhao Shoutian and Xiao Ya.
"I'm telling you, don't even mention that you have to pay to get over there. Even if the king of heaven comes, he still has to pay. This is paid by our Zhao family. It's only natural to charge for building a bridge."
The shouting sounded harsh to Zhou Weiguo. He had not heard such arrogance for a long time.
"Captain, you're here." When the first battalion commander Liu Jun saw Zhou Weiguo coming, he quickly came to their side; "They are blocking the road."
"I understand." Zhou Weiguo responded and came to the bridge. There were already seven people in the escort team. The rest were carrying Hanyang-made rifles, and the leader was carrying a box gun.
"Do you want money?" Zhou Weiguo came up to Zhao Lin, looked him up and down and asked.
Zhao Lin nodded. "This bridge was built by my Zhao family. Is it too much to ask for money?"
Zhou Weiguo shook his head slightly and said, "It's not too much, it's just..."
Zhao Lin heard on the way that an army was coming. Although he didn't understand what was going on, his eldest brother said that no matter who came, they had to be given a warning, not really intercepted because it was impossible.
The purpose of doing this is to tell the army that a strong dragon cannot defeat a local snake, and that in Hexi Town, the Zhao family has the final say.
That's why he brought people here, telling them, "When you come here, you must know who is the big king and who is the small king. Don't lose your sense of proportion."
"Just what? Do you want to force your way in? Is there any law?" Zhao Lin suppressed the fear in his heart and asked calmly.
It would be a lie to say that he was not afraid. Over the years, he had only been to the county town for meetings with his elder brother and had never been to other places. He had never seen an army like this one with machine guns, trucks and uniforms.
He was really scared in his heart, but he had to do his elder brother's business.
Zhou Weiguo glanced at him, then his eyes fell on Zhao Shoutian.
Zhao Shoutian took out his pistol, pulled the bolt, pointed it at Zhao Lin's head and pulled the trigger.
After the gunshot, Zhao Shoutian looked at the body lying on the ground and said, "Damn it, they have to ask our independent regiment for money, and we don't have to ask around. It's always others who give us money. I've never heard of people from our independent regiment giving money to others."
Along with the curses, the guards following Zhao Lin no longer had the arrogance they had just now. They first glanced at the captain's body, and then looked at the people standing in front of them.
The moment I heard the machine gun bolt go off.
Several people could not hold back and knelt on the ground, kowtowed and wailed; "Sir, please spare us, please spare us, it was Captain Zhao who asked us to come here, we didn't want to come here. We didn't want to come here either."
Zhou Weiguo looked at these people who were almost scared out of their wits, snorted coldly and pointed to the other side of the river; "Go back and tell your mayor Zhao a message."
