Chapter 81 Returning Home (7)
Tong Jia poured two glasses of water and handed them to Yang Jixia and Xiao Kong. After they finished drinking, she asked with concern, "Did you find it?"
Xiao Kong nodded and said, "Found it."
Yang Jixia said: "Not only did we find the second-in-command of the copycat, we also found Rong Xinhua."
"Ah? What a coincidence? Could it be that they have been colluding with each other?" Tong Jia felt that the probability of meeting Rong Xinhua by chance was too low, and it could only be that he had been colluding with the gang members long ago.
Yang Jixia and Xiao Kong shook their heads at the same time. Xiao Kong said, "I'm not sure if there's any collusion, but judging by their warm attitude, they must have known each other for quite some time."
"Then...what should we do now?" Tong Jia asked Yang Jixia if he had any plans.
Yang Jixia said: "There are too many of them, they fill up the entire yard, and there is a high possibility that they have weapons reserves.
There are only seven of us now, so we can't win.
I wanted to…”
"You want me to go over and contact Rong Xinzhi and Rong Xinhua first to find out some information, right?" Tong Jia expressed Yang Jixia's thoughts.
It is not suitable for anyone else to go, only Tong Jia can go.
He also had to find out Rong Xinhua's background before Diao Yongting came over.
This matter is indeed dangerous, but the reason why Yang Jixia finds it difficult to speak out is that the two people opposite are Tong Jia's (Rong Xintong) younger brother and sister. Asking her, the elder sister, to find out the truth is indeed a bit cruel in terms of kinship.
But Tong Jia didn't think so. She was quite happy that she could go deep into the tiger's den.
Tong Jia wanted to go, and as her husband, Yang Jixia could accompany her, but he had other things to deal with and couldn't go into the tiger's den when everything was unclear, so he couldn't go.
Tao Junle was unwilling to hear that Tong Jia had to face a group of bandits alone.
He stared at Yang Jixia fiercely, held Tong Jia's hand tightly, and said that he must go with him.
Yang Jixia wanted to object, but Tong Jia said, "Rong Xinzhi already knows Lele's situation, so bringing him along won't arouse suspicion.
Besides, Lele is my best helper. If there are any Japanese among those bandits, he can play a big role."
Thinking of the Fuso Consulate in Shanghai, Yang Jixia no longer objected.
He asked, "When are you planning to go over?"
Tong Jia said, "Let's go check it out tonight and then meet formally tomorrow."
"There are too many of them, and it's too dangerous to test the bottom. Let's just meet tomorrow." Yang Jixia objected.
Tong Jia disagreed. She said, "You said they have too many people. That person is alive. I can't stay there all day to count the number of people. I can't rush to check every room. The most I can do is talk and chat.
It would take too long to figure this out..."
"Safety is paramount even if the time is long. Even if we need to explore at night, you can't go. All of us grown men are better than you!
You should stop thinking about it and think about how to meet tomorrow without being awkward." Yang Jixia still objected and asked Tao Junle to look after Tong Jia while he left with Xiao Kong to deal with other things.
Tong Jia looked at Yang Jixia's departing figure and complained to Tao Junle, "He also said that his skills are better than mine. I don't know who gave him the confidence.
Lele, let’s ignore him. I’ll take you out to play tonight.”
In the past, because they had to administer drugs during night visits, Tong Jia always tried to act on her own. After Tao Junle protested several times to no avail, the child became really cruel to herself.
Almost every time he entered the RV, he would take some drugs. Over time, he really developed drug tolerance.
So now, he can't wait to follow Tong Jia to carry out the mission at night, as if this way he and Tong Jia will have more secrets than others and their relationship will be closer.
Tong Jia really needed someone to help her keep watch and search. Every time she did it on her own, she always felt that there were some places that had not been searched thoroughly.
So, after making sure that Tao Junle had developed resistance to the drug, she used an awl to make Tao Junle a set of protective clothing that was bulletproof, puncture-proof, cold-proof and heat-proof.
There are only a few days left until the Chinese New Year. These days before the New Year are the busiest time. It gets dark very early in the winter in the north, and most people go to bed early because there are no entertainment activities.
After the entire provincial capital quieted down, Tong Jia and Tao Junle went out fully armed.
Tong Jia rode a lithium battery bicycle and took Tao Junle to Rong Xinzhi's current residence.
They originally thought they could take action as soon as they arrived at the place, but the courtyard where they settled was different from other houses.
Although the gate was closed, there were people guarding the yard all around. The people outside were knocked out with drugs. There were also people guarding inside, and the lights in the house were brightly on.
There were too many guards in the yard, and Tong Jia couldn't help but feel lucky that she brought Tao Junle with her this time.
Two people can act separately. If she is alone, even with the help of drugs, once the person on the east side falls, the person on the west side will find that no matter how fast he is, he cannot prevent the people in the house from hearing the noise outside.
It was different with Tao Junle around. The two of them were responsible for each side, and the guards on the east and west sides fell down at the same time without alarming the people in the room at all.
After knocking down the guards inside and outside the yard, Tong Jia and Tao Junle quietly leaned under the eaves and listened to the conversation in the house.
"Son, the woman you left behind is a self-righteous bitch. I haven't noticed anything about her these days. How can she protect us mother and daughter?" An old female voice came. The speaker was the old lady who scared Tong Jia in the mountain village that day.
Then a deep male voice said, "Mom, I know that woman is very stupid, but she also likes to play tricks. I've really wronged you by asking you to coax her these days.
But now we can only coax her, I will keep her for future use."
"What's the point of it? Can you tell me the truth first? If something really happens, I'll know how to react.
Ever since leaving the mountain village, my mother's memory has been getting worse day by day. Who knows, she might become confused one day.
While my mother is still smart, I think I can help you as much as I can." The old lady said with some sadness.
I don’t know whether she is sad because of her own aging or because of her son’s lack of trust in her.
In short, after listening to the end, the only sound was her low sobbing and sobbing.
His son sighed and said, "Mom, it's not that I don't want to tell you, but I'm not sure now. I'm afraid that if I tell you, you'll be happy for nothing.
Since you are worried, there is nothing we can't talk about.
Actually...actually, when I went to study in Fuso, I had already started cooperating with the Fuso military.
After I came back, they wanted me to use the power of our village to intensify the conflict between the two sides.
My brother used to listen to me in everything and things went smoothly.
But he was persuaded by the old ghost beside him. He was worried that I would take his place, so he wanted to kill me. That's why I left the village with you and those who were willing to follow me.
How can I leave you in the hands of a man who can lay hands on his own brother?"
"Tell me about this matter. What does it have to do with that woman?" The old lady didn't want to hear her younger son say bad things about her older son, so she took the initiative to shift the topic to Rong Xinzhi.
The deep male voice sounded again: "The Fusang Kingdom still wants me to take the people in the village and find another mountain to establish myself as king, but I am really tired of these fighting and killing things.
They promised me that as long as they found a suitable agent, they would arrange a formal position for me. In this way, your son would completely get rid of his bandit identity and become a respectable person with status and position.
But it is not easy to find such an agent. If I look for one among the brothers in the village, once they gain power, it will be difficult for me to control them.
Mother, you may be able to convince everyone, but this is ultimately a bomb.
You don't know when someone will take you away. Son, I can't let you do such a dangerous thing.
So, the woman in the room was just right.
I had seen her before the cottage.
Her older brother is Rong Xinhua, and he was my classmate when I was studying in Japan.
She also has a brother-in-law named Diao Yongting, who is also my classmate.
As long as we appease her and let her be our target in public, even if the higher-ups want to investigate, Rong Xinhua and Diao Yongting will not be able to escape.
In order to protect themselves, they have to protect us as well."
"That requires connections to protect us. That woman is a widow and can't have children. I can't bear to let my son's second half of his life be wasted on such a bitch." The old lady still didn't want Rong Xinzhi to have anything to do with her son.
“Haha, Mom. You just want me to get involved with him, but I despise him.
Please think carefully, although I took her to buy this and that these days, I was buying things for my younger sister, right?
"I want you to come forward and adopt her as your goddaughter, so that when I find a suitable mountain in the future, it will be easy for you two to live there together." The old lady's son explained with a smile.
The old lady said, "This adoption...shouldn't her family know about it?"
"Well, I met Rong Xinhua today. He said that his mother is dying and wants to see all her children before she dies so that she can distribute her inheritance among them.
He refused to tell us what the inheritance was until he had met all the children.
In order to fulfill his mother's wish, he brought his family back across the ocean from Fuso.
According to him, it is doubtful whether his old lady can survive the first month of the lunar year.
Mother, let us think about it this way. A girl who has just become a widow and wants to go back to her parents' home to cry to her mother happens to have lost her mother, and she has a godmother as considerate as you, how can she not want to acknowledge her?
By then, her biological parents will be gone, and she can just agree to find a godmother, without the need for the elders to make the decision. "The old lady's son had already considered all these things, so when he saw Rong Xinhua today, he didn't mention Rong Xinzhi.
He was afraid that if the old lady of the Rong family really left a lot of inheritance, Rong Xinzhi would not take the things he bought these days seriously, which would affect his future plans.
He wanted to wait until the old lady of the Rong family passed away before taking Rong Xinzhi to pay her respects.
According to his understanding of Rong Xinhua, even if the old lady of the Rong family really left a large inheritance before her death, he would not share it with other brothers and sisters as long as they were not present.
After discussing these things with his mother, the mother and son discussed which hill would be better to choose in the future before going back to their rooms to sleep.
After all the lights in the house were off, Tong Jia and Tao Junle entered the house while spreading the sleeping pills.
Two wooden boxes were found under the old woman's bed, one full of gold and the other full of jewels.
In order to avoid alerting the enemy, Tong Jia did not touch these things.
When I was about to look for another room, Tao Junle grabbed my wrist.
Knowing that Tao Junle had made a discovery, she followed him out.
There is a secret passage under the flower bed in the yard.
Tao Junle walked in front with a flashlight, and Tong Jia kept looking behind. After about two minutes, forty or fifty boxes and two large piles of food appeared in front of the two of them.
Eleven boxes contained gold, silver and jewelry, and the rest were full of guns and ammunition.
Tong Jia didn't hesitate and put all the boxes except for the food that couldn't fit in the RV.
Afterwards, he returned to the yard and counted the people in each room and the people in the yard before leaving the yard.
Tao Junle even took away all the weapons he saw in the room, regardless of whether they were hot or cold, as long as they were lethal.
He gave the pistol to Tong Jia and asked her to put it away. He threw all the swords, daggers, rifles, and short spears into the public toilet outside a theater on the overpass.
After doing all this, Tong Jia and Tao Junle went back to sleep.
They slept soundly that night.
But those who were drugged inside and outside the yard were not in such a good situation.
Although their consciousness is dormant due to the effects of drugs, their bodies will still feel uncomfortable due to the low temperature. Even if they cannot wake up, they will still feel very uncomfortable.
In particular, some people have already started to have a fever and are still talking nonsense near dawn.
Lao Fang happened to be collecting night incense nearby when he saw several people lying outside the yard with their bodies burning hot. Although he was very surprised, he also felt that this was a good opportunity to find out what was going on in the yard.
He immediately started shouting, "Come on, someone is about to burn to death here. Come out and take a look. Whose man is this who got drunk and couldn't find his way home, so he slept outside in this cold weather?"
This is a matter of life and death, please get one person out of every household quietly!"
After shouting three times in a row, Lao Fang finally heard the sound of bolts being opened from several houses around him.
They still know whether all their family members are present.
The reason we open the door so early is simply to watch the fun and then help out.
But in the end, except for the owner's family, all the neighbors came out.
Everyone recognized that they had just moved in, and they knocked on the door to call them, but no one opened the door.
Someone said, "Could it be that it's too cold and he fell asleep? Does anyone have a ladder? Let's climb over and knock on the door."
Anyway, we are all here and can testify, and there is a reason for doing this."
When someone went home to get a ladder, some curious people climbed the tree to see what was happening.
Seeing this, he immediately shouted, "Don't move the ladder yet, let's go to the police station and report the case first.
Something must have happened to this family, there are four people lying in the yard!"
