Chapter 14: Shamelessness Will Be Carried All The Way To The End (1)

  Wang Changhu's mood has improved a lot, not only becoming the biggest creditor of this branch team, but also successfully cutting costs in terms of financial resources. As long as the source is successful, his own financial problems will be greatly improved.

  Wang Changhu sat in the chair, with one hand on the table. His middle finger tapped rhythmically on the table: "Dadada." But his brain was constantly turning, thinking of a way to make these bastards willing to make money themselves.

  Wang Changhu finally made up his mind: "Give these bastards some extra ingredients first."

  After thinking for a while, Wang Changhu called the military supply officer and asked: "If I remove the dry rations for breakfast, have one meat dish and one soup for lunch, and remove two dishes and add a plate of pickled vegetables for dinner, how much money can be saved each day?"

  The quartermaster took out an abacus and "rattled" away at it, then gave a figure: sixty dollars.

  Wang Changtian also said: "With this money, how many rounds of light machine gun bullets can be bought?"

  The quartermaster officer said with a start: "The young marshal's bullets are free for us, they're already in the military warehouse..."

  Wang Changhu immediately retorted, "I said buy, so we'll buy. From now on, except for me, all the bullets needed for any task must be bought, and so are guns. There must be a clear price, and you have to keep track of the money spent; speak up, how many rounds can you buy?"

  The quartermaster replied: "About two hundred and fifty rounds, this is an internal preferential price."

  Wang Changhu took off his hat and scratched the back of his head, muttering: "Damn it, not enough!"

  He slammed his hand on the table and shouted, "Grandma's! Change both lunch and dinner to coarse grains for me, and use the saved money to buy bullets. Let's see how many rounds I can get!"

  The quartermaster rustled through some papers and said: "We can buy more than 570 rounds of light machine gun ammunition."

  Wang Changhu interrupted, "No need for 570, just make it a whole 600 rounds. You go tomorrow, or you can go to the warehouse today and take out 1,200 rounds of ammunition. It's needed this afternoon, go tell Deputy Li what I said."

  Also, when we were eating just now, you said in front of those people that I was good to you, otherwise, I would have taken your life right now.

  The quartermaster's legs went numb: "It's not easy serving this master!"

  Wang Changhu walked out of the house and saw that on the playground, the prisoners' team was practicing formation. Although it wasn't very neat, they had already begun to take shape and had a basic military appearance. In his heart, he felt like a flower blooming, but he didn't show it. These people were all full of energy, without organization or discipline, reckless and arrogant, thinking they were above the law. So Wang Changhu used formation drills to grind down their rough edges and bullets to restrain their tactical movements, and now he was seeing results.

  Wang Changhu came onto the reviewing stand and gave an order: "Assemble!"

  The prisoners stood in a square formation under the leadership of the instructors, and Wang Changhu shouted: "At ease!" Brothers, I'm incompetent! Seeing your performance yesterday, I felt deeply gratified. Who says there are no talented people among us prisoners? I think Huang Yifei is one of them. He led more than 200 people to resist more than 4,000 people for ten minutes; take a look at those more than 200 people, they are the ones who usually obey training discipline. Take a look at the first ones who were knocked down, aren't they all showing off and pretending to be heroes? Brothers, what kind of people are you? You are the elite of the Northeastern martial arts world! Anyone can be knocked down, but not you!

  The following criminals are comfortable in their hearts, thinking: "This son of a bitch finally opened his eyes and knew our value. Now he's begging us to listen to him. In a while, let him know what it means to be a master. The people below were violently jumping in their hearts, expecting the arrival of flowers and applause, but unexpectedly waiting for even more cruel bricks.

  Wang Changhu continued: "Our team is the strongest in all of Northeast China, unfortunately we lost yesterday. We lost because of our coordination, it's not good enough. Think about it, one person can take down four or five people, two people coordinating can take down ten; three people relying on each other, coordinating with each other, can take down even more. Currently, what we lack is coordination, so I have decided: "All training volumes will be doubled from this afternoon."

  The faces of the prisoners below all turned green with rage, and in their hearts they were cursing Wang Changhu: "Damn you, dead damn you, stupid damn you..."

  "Everyone understands, dismissed!" Wang Changhu said.

  Wang Changhu returned to Li Xiao's bedroom and lay on the bed. He began to recall every detail of his time with Li Xiao.

  That day, Wang Changtian was ambushed. Originally, Wang Changtian was going to kill the chicken to scare the monkey; but Li Xiao's hidden weapon technique made Wang Changtian surprised and full of surprise: "Because Li Xiao and the previous life Wang Changtian's lover Lingling's hidden weapon technique are consistent, which means that Li Xiao is a fellow practitioner in this world. He eagerly wanted to understand Li Xiao's master situation."

  After all the prisoners had fallen asleep, he ordered the soldiers to carry Li Xiao out and put her in this room now. He splashed water on Li Xiao to wake her up and began to ask about her sect situation. At first, Li Xiao was very vigilant, but when Wang Changtiger took off his upper garment and revealed a black swallow, Li Xiao slowly relaxed her vigilance and told Wang Changtiger that she had come down the mountain for training, during which she got acquainted with Long Mei'er, committed a major crime, and was caught. Her master seemed to have a swallow on his chest too, seemingly made of jade - green in color, but she wasn't sure.

  Until Long Mei'er ran away, Li Xiao came to beg for mercy. Wang Changtiger only took a closer look at this girl, and for the sake of Long Mei'er, she clung to Wang Changtiger like an octopus. As a result, all the anger that Long Mei'er had provoked was vented on Li Xiao's body. Thinking about it, Wang Changtiger fell asleep in a daze. Suddenly, a commotion outside startled him awake, and he heard many prisoners shouting and complaining angrily.

  Wang Changhu walked out of the room and headed towards the most crowded gathering area. At this time, Huang Yihu's voice came: "This can't let people live. The dishes are so few, the rice is still coarse grain, our grain ration is not all given to you by corruption, if you don't tell the truth today, I'll skin you alive!

  At this time, the voice of the military supply officer came out: "Brothers, this is not our fault, we are acting according to the instructions of Captain Wang. If you have any problems, reflect them to him, don't make it difficult for us."

  Wang Changhu appeared on the scene: "Attention, what are you doing? Eating is also so lively, don't you have any rules? What's going on? First sit down for me, and talk slowly if there's anything." After finishing speaking, Wang Changhu sat down first.

  "Boss, look at this food, not a bit of oil or water, our training volume this afternoon is going to double, with an empty stomach like this, how can we exercise?"

  "What's going on?" Wang Changhu said to the military supply officer.

  The quartermaster said with a bitter smile: "These brothers have seen the decline in food standards, and they are making a big fuss. What can we do about it?"

  "He said, 'You haven't given a reason.'"

  The quartermaster shook his head and said, "Not yet."

  "Now tell everyone, and after you're done, get out of here."

  The quartermaster said to all the people eating, "Brothers, it's not that I don't want to give you good food, but because we've reached a point where we're struggling to survive; if we don't get new supplies soon, in a few days we'll all have to drink thin porridge." After saying this, the five-foot-tall man squatted on the ground and started wailing loudly.

  Wang Changhu patted the quartermaster's back and said heavily: "I'm sorry, you can go now."

  The quartermaster walked away with a scowl on his face.

  "Brothers, the money we have left is indeed very little. Now the whole army only has us practicing with real guns and bullets, and in a few days we will be shooting targets, those bullets are worth their weight in gold! I'm also worried, how can we get more money? Does anyone have any ideas?"

  The criminals stared at each other in silence, with all eyes finally focusing on Huang Yifei, Hu Jingzhong and Long Meier.

  Wang Changhu looked at several people, didn't speak, lowered his head, as if considering something...

  Huang Yifei walked up to Wang Changhu and said: "What can we do to satisfy you?"

  Wang Changhu said: "I want one action, you must obey me, everyone must obey; after the task is over, everyone must come back here, you must swear."

  Huang Yifei turned his head back, looked at a few other leaders, and Hu Jingzhong pointed to his brain with his hand. Huang Yifei nodded, turned around and said to Wang Changhu: "We need to consider it, we'll get back to you tonight."

  "Alright, I hope you make a decision soon." After saying that, he beckoned to the quartermaster and the two of them returned to Wang Changhu's office together. Wang Changhu closed the door behind him and said in a low voice, "Prepare a batch of weapons immediately, all with boxes and cannons. The price of the weapons and bullets must be clearly marked, and once sold, they will not be returned. Write an IOU, write more, I want to make these fools owe me so much that they won't even have a single pair of pants left."

  The quartermaster said: "Then how many should I prepare, how to set the price, there are not many in the warehouse, about a hundred or so, if you want more, you have to make a report."

  "Then make a report, I want 400 of them, and prepare more daggers. Black clothes and black scarves should also be prepared in large quantities. We need 20 mules; first prepare this many, tomorrow night the materials must be ready, as for the price of guns, double it; besides, you take out that over a hundred first, I want to use them." Wang Changhu said.

  The criminals were discussing and Huang Yifei said: "It seems that our expenses are really too high, Wang Ba Dan can't afford it."

  Liu Fang sat opposite Huang Yifei and said, "I am a soldier by origin. A soldier's duty is to obey orders. Since Captain Wang has asked for our help, we soldiers should not hesitate to risk our lives...

  Huang Yihu interrupted Liu Fang's words, "Shut up, you think you're so noble, but I just want to eat a good meal. You can go play with your life, take those hundred or so people and scram. Go find that son of a bitch and suck up to him, see if he likes it."

  Liu Fangqi slapped the table and stood up: "You, you, damn it, I want to fight you one on one." After that, he came up and wanted to drag Huang Yitao out to compare.

  "This is Hu Jingzhong speaking: 'You're all given money to shut up, look at what you're doing, you haven't even come up with a specific plan yet, and your own people are already taking action. Whoever dares to stir up trouble again and affect unity, don't blame me for being impolite.' As soon as he finished speaking, Hu Jingzhong's wrist flicked, a white light flashed out, and 'clang' echoed against the door frame. Everyone gasped in shock."

  Huang Yihu muttered under his breath: "Geez, how did this doctor become a Western-style doctor?"

  Hu Jingzhong smiled: "Who says I won't be a Western doctor? Traditional Chinese medicine is my family tradition, and Western medicine is my hobby. I graduated from the Tokyo Imperial Medical College's clinical medicine program."

  Everyone's eyes suddenly became somewhat suspicious, Hu Jingzhong sighed and shook his head: "What are you doing? I'm the successor of the medical sect, not a spy." He then took out a token from his pocket with a "medical" character engraved on it.

  Everyone's gaze finally relaxed. "You all have identities too, right?" Hu Jingzhong asked.

  Everyone nodded. Huang Yifei said: "My brother and I are from Wuhu Gate."

  Long Mei'er said: "I am Huanmen,"

  Liu Fang said: "Beggars' Clan".

  Hu Jingzhong thought for a moment: "So, it seems that all of us have a school background, and the dead ones are also like us. But they were killed, and their schools didn't make a sound. Don't you think it's strange?" Everyone fell into deep thought.

  Hu Jingzhong said: "Quickly, call Lixiao over, Lixiao must know the origin of Wang Badao, quickly..."

  Long Mei'er interrupted him: "Li Xiao has already been called away by Wang Ba Dan. It doesn't seem appropriate to call now." After she finished speaking, her face became increasingly red.

  "It won't do, we must get to the bottom of this guy's identity right now." Hu Jingzhong's face turned paler as he spoke; he continued: "No matter what means, this is very important for us. Everyone was left bewildered by his words, exchanging glances with each other in confusion.

  Hu Jingzhong came to Long Mei'er and said, "I want to ask Dragon Girl to do this thing. Today, no matter what method you use, you must figure out his bottom line. This is really important for us, I swear!"

  At this time, the assembly whistle for afternoon training sounded, and all the men went to enjoy the 1,200 bullets left by Wang Changhu. Long Mei'er, however, walked towards Li Xiao's boudoir, trying to get to the bottom of Wang Changhu's affairs.
