Traveling through 1942 with space

As soon as the gunshots were heard, the street became chaotic and the crowd watching the excitement immediately dispersed.

Looking at the leader of the guards who had been so arrogant just now, he was now scared as a bug, lying on the ground and trembling.

During this period, Hou Xiaoge has also seen many guards of landlords and wealthy families, who are the kind of people who bully ordinary people. They are all very obedient when they meet soldiers and black dogs.

As the saying goes, the timid are afraid of the bold, the bold are afraid of the fierce, and the fierce are afraid of the desperate. So when dealing with these guards, you have to be more fierce and fierce than them.

Besides, they were all going to flee to Qin Province, not Luoning County. If they were afraid of the Fan family, they would just do it.

In this era, Hou Xiaoge, who was used to seeing blood and dead bodies, was not afraid of the situation and took the initiative.

Besides, Hou Xiaoge’s pistol can fire continuously, so at such a close distance he is not afraid of four or five soft-hearted guards holding rifles.

The reality was just as Hou Xiaoge had imagined. As soon as he fired his gun, the guards immediately wilted.

"Uncle, brother, take a few people and secretly capture the one lying on the ground, and also take away their knives on the ground."

Seeing the leader of the Fan family lying on the ground, trembling and begging for mercy without panicking, Hou Xiaoge quickly directed his eldest brother beside him to capture the hostages.

"Oh! Ok, ok."

Although Hou Huanying and a few other boys were a little scared at this time, they had experienced the baptism of bandits and defeated soldiers after all.

After hearing Hou Xiaoge's arrangement, several people seemed to have received an order. They ran over quickly to pick up the two long swords on the ground, and dragged the leader of the guards to their father and uncle-in-law.

"boom!"

Hou Xiaoge had sharp eyes and saw a middle-aged man in a long gown hiding behind the carriage and pointing a gun at him.

Within a ten-meter range, with the blessing of mental power, it is roughly equivalent to only five meters. Hou Xiaoge's bullets were very accurate, and one bullet hit the middle-aged man's wrist, causing the middle-aged man to roll off the carriage in pain.

"Ah! My hand. Oh my god! It hurts so much." The middle-aged man covered his wrist, blood flowing all over the floor.

At this moment, the villagers in the camp also arrived.

"Yangmin, what's wrong with you? That guy from another village dared to hit you." Another elder in the tribe came over with forty or fifty men and shouted loudly.

In an instant, nearly ten muskets and dozens of machetes in the village surrounded the 20-man guard team.

"Brother, please spare my life. You can take your daughter Ni'er away. We accept defeat." The captured shopkeeper of the Fan family said palely, covering his wrist which was bleeding.

"Hmph! Just now my father and I said all the nice things and even offered to pay money to redeem him, but he still refused. Now you give in. What were you doing before?" Hou Huanying said with his neck stiff, face red, eyes wide open and a look of dissatisfaction.

"My brother, you are from Luoning County, so you should know the power of our Fan family. Although we are in Shanzhou now, we also have a lot of business and connections, so let's be merciful.

You fired shots in the city and injured people, but I will not hold you accountable.

I have someone release your daughter, please let us go." The middle-aged shopkeeper said to Hou Yangmin with a pale face.

When the nearby villagers heard the middle-aged shopkeeper talking about the Fan family, their morale suddenly dropped a lot, and their eyes were filled with fear and dread. Hou Yangmin was the same.

"My dear shopkeeper, we are all refugees. We live today but not tomorrow. We are not sure whether we can return to Luoning in this lifetime!

Don't use the Fan family to scare us, it's useless.

We just want to redeem the people, not that we won't pay you. Look, you asked people to beat up my brother and uncle, so you have to pay compensation." Hou Xiaoge was not afraid of the Fan family, so he spoke directly to restore the morale, and he couldn't let the Fan family control them.

The villagers were also shocked after hearing Hou Xiaoge's words. That's right! They are all refugees. They have no tomorrow and are going to flee to Qin Province. Why should they be afraid of the Mao Fan family?

Several people immediately started beating the guard who beat their child. For a while, screams and pleas for mercy could be heard.

"What are you doing! Whoever fired the shot, move aside." At this moment, a dozen black men rushed over from the street, five or six of them holding rifles.

When Hou Xiaoge saw the black dog, he thought something was wrong, but after seeing that there were only five or six guns, he felt a little relieved.

"Captain Liu, help, help, I am a member of the Fan family!" The middle-aged shopkeeper seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw and immediately started shouting.

The most glorious time of Guanyintang Town was before the 24th year of the Republic of China. At that time, there were garrisons, a security brigade, and a large number of people in the police station.

But now it has declined, and the stationed troops have moved to other places, leaving only a larger police station. Most of the people there are still patrolmen. There are no more than 20 armed policemen, some of whom are also responsible for maintaining the railway station. There are no more than five or six people who can go out on patrol at any time.

However, these people are usually enough to maintain the law and order of a small town. If there is a major conflict, there will be a garrison camp twenty miles away.

So when the police officers saw that both sides of the conflict were holding so many guns, they were a little nervous but still confident.

Moreover, the officer of the police station did know the shopkeeper of the Fan family, but he did not speak out to identify him at this time. Instead, he performed the "responsibility" of a law enforcer.

"Put your guns down, put your guns down. If you have anything to say, just talk it over and the government will help you solve it." Captain Liu of the police station held his head high and chest out, and said seriously with his right hand on the holster on his waist.

Ordinary people were all wearing official uniforms, and when they saw officials in official uniforms coming, some of them had already quietly lowered their guns.

After everyone put down their guns, the police station officials asked both parties to resolve the issue in the group.

Hou Xiaoge didn't dare to let his uncle go, so he spoke up quickly.

"Sir, let's just deal with it on the street! We ordinary people don't dare to go into the government office.

Besides, handling issues on the street can also show that you love the people and are not biased towards the powerful, right?" Hou Xiaoge shouted.

After hearing what Hou Xiaoge said, Hou Yangmin and several other knowledgeable people in the village understood what was going on. They immediately started making a fuss and handled the matter in the street.

Captain Liu from the police station wanted to shoot Hou Xiaoge to death at this moment, as it really ruined his plan.

In his opinion, these little villains became weak in the knees after being taken to the police station, and they just let him do whatever he wanted. But after this destruction, facing more than a dozen guns, he didn't dare to continue.

Hou Xiaoge also knew that he couldn't push his luck further. As ordinary civilians, they couldn't afford to offend the government, so he asked his uncle to propose to exchange the person back, and no longer asked for compensation.

After all, they are still in Shanzhou. If they offend the government and are targeted and charged with banditry, it would be terrible.

When the shopkeeper of the Fan family heard that they were just returning the people, he was relieved. As long as they didn't ask for a huge amount of compensation or even his life, it would be fine. After all, he was just an ordinary shopkeeper.

Chief Inspector Liu didn't want to cause any trouble, and he also saved the owner of the Fan family, so he would definitely get some benefits in the future.

"Let go!"
