Originally, Black Dragon was very unhappy with his second brother Black Tiger giving orders behind his back. He even felt that Black Tiger was coveting his position. If Black Tiger really wanted to kill him and sit in that position, then don't blame him for disregarding his brotherhood and sending Black Tiger to hell first.
Now that Black Tiger had jumped out to explain this matter, it was indeed understandable for him to do such a thing in such a big business. Moreover, if he did not say it in advance, it would take an hour for his brothers to prepare. This was a waste of time. Once the news was known by the other villages in advance, they would only be happy for nothing. However, before that, he still had to understand the specific situation first before making targeted arrangements. However, it was right to let his brothers move.
"Second brother, you did the right thing. Even if you don't do it, I have to give this order first. Black bear, go and inform the brothers to prepare well. Give me all the weapons and ammo. Ask the kitchen to prepare more dried rations. Tell the brothers to gather at once. We can't delay today. I want to see the brothers gather at the church in 25 minutes.”
"You're Old Lin's son, what's your name again? Alright, I won't ask what your name is. Tell me everything first. Also, if your father wants to tell me something, just tell me directly here. There are no outsiders, so there's no need for me to hide it from anyone.”
Lin Erhai could tell that Black Dragon was anxious. He knew that he could not waste time talking nonsense. He had to hurry up and take out all the dry goods. Otherwise, he would have to suffer. For these hungry wolves, if they did not take a bite of sweet food, they would definitely not be able to endure it. These people definitely didn't want to hear his nonsense. They only wanted to hear something useful. As for the matter that he had planned to complain about, he could only secretly put it in his heart for now. He would talk about it when he had the chance in the future!
"Chief, a group of people came to the Lin family's old residence today. At that time, my father didn't pay much attention to them. However, after knowing that it was the young master of the Lin family who came, he realized that something was wrong. First of all, Butler Lin did not come. Only the young master of the Lin family came back, and he brought relatively few people. More importantly, they only had about ten guards. Secondly, the Lin family's old residence had sent carriages to transport grain. These carriages were equipped with two horses, and each carriage could carry 1000 catties of goods without any problems. Initially, my father thought that the Lin family was planning to do some business, so he placed the goods in the Lin family's old residence first. However, he soon discovered that something was wrong. All the things that were transported back were food.”
"In the beginning, my father didn't know that it was grain that was being transported back. It was someone from the Lin family's old residence. After asking my father to find some young and strong people to help transport the grain, he found out that it was all grain. I believe that the Chief should know about the internal strife in the Lin Manor. My father has also told the Chief about this matter before. It's very abnormal for such a large batch of food to be transported to the Lin family's old residence. In addition, there's no news from the county city, so my father is even more convinced of this judgment.”
"Moreover, if we do business normally, the Lin family's carriage company will transport the goods. There's no need for outsiders at all. At most, we'll recruit some young and strong people to work when loading and unloading the grain. However, he did not see anyone from the Lin family's carriage today. They were all unfamiliar faces that he had never seen before. Even the guards who were carrying guns had never seen each other before. "From this, my father believes that something must have happened within the Lin family. The most likely reason is that the second and third branches have broken off relations with the Lin family. As for what's going on with that old thing Butler Lin, my father doesn't understand either. However, my father is certain that such a large amount of food will definitely be able to reach the Lin family's old residence tonight. Without any reinforcements from the Lin Manor, tonight was the best time to eat such a big piece of fat meat.”
"So my father secretly asked me to report this matter to the chief, so that the chief could take action quickly and not miss the opportunity to avoid any more trouble. In addition, my father hopes that Chief will agree to a condition. He wants to increase the previous 90% to 80% this time. If Chief is unwilling, he hopes that Chief can help us clean up the entire Lin Manor. Chief, I guarantee that everything I said is true. I didn't lie to you at all. I saw it with my own eyes. The lives of our family are all in the hands of Chief. There's no need to lie to you.”
"This matter is really a good opportunity. Once you miss it, it will be very difficult to find such a good opportunity again. I reckon that the other villages in the surroundings should have already received the news. However, when their spies report this news, it will take at least four hours. As long as we make good use of this time gap, after occupying the Lin family's old residence, unless those people in the villages unite, they will have no way to resist our Little Gold Mountain. If we act quickly and get the young men from the Lin Family Village to help us transport the food, it's very likely that we'll be able to transfer the food to the village before those people arrive.”
"As long as we plan properly, we will succeed. In the end, we won't leave any food for the others. However, this requires the efforts of the entire village. One or two people definitely can't do it, not even 100 or 200 people. I think it's best for our village to move out this time. Otherwise, it'll be very difficult to complete such a big operation. It's very easy for us to eat a portion of the food. If we want to eat all the food, then there are more things to consider.”
After hearing Lin Erhai's words, everyone in the hall fell into deep thought. They all understood that this was a big piece of fat meat, but it would not be easy to eat it. Food was different from other things. It took up a larger area and required more manpower. It wasn't like the gold and silver treasures that could be transported away with a few carriages. If they wanted to transport all of this grain away, they would need too much manpower. It was really difficult to make this decision.
"Everyone, you already know the news. I don't know what my brothers think. Should we go to the neighbor's old house to bring these grains up the mountain? Brothers, you can speak freely.”
"Big brother, let me say a few words first! Everyone knows what kind of person I, Black Tiger, am. I think we should do this. If we don't take such a big piece of fat meat, I won't be able to sleep tonight. Moreover, our village has always been short of food. We have been secretly buying food before, but with the retreat of the northeast army, the people from the south are about to attack, and the food on the market is getting more and more expensive. In addition, we have to be careful when we buy food. We can't buy too much food each time. Once the people from the south attack and want to exterminate the bandits, our villages will definitely be doomed.”
"If we want to deal with those government troops, we need a large amount of food. The place we occupy is high in mountains and dense in forests. It can be said that it will be very difficult for those government troops to attack. However, if they seal off the mountain, we will lose our source of food. Even if they don't attack, we can only surrender obediently in the end. These people will seal off the mountain for at most half a year, but our village's food can only last for half a month at most. The lack of food has happened many times in our village, and every time it happens, it is accompanied by danger. There was even one time when our entire village was almost destroyed. The three of us were almost wiped out. I think we must get our hands on this batch of food. Even if we can't eat all of it, we must eat a large portion of it.”
"Big brother, I agree with second brother. The more food we have, the better. After that incident, although we have been putting in a lot of effort in food, we don't have much money in our hands. It's very difficult to obtain a large amount of food. Although we have robbed some villages and some big families, the things we robbed weren't worth much. They can't be compared to those who robbed merchants. On normal days, the brothers 'lives were very tight. They could not even eat meat once a month. They could only eat two meals a day, and they could only eat half their fill. " We're far from the bandits in other places. Look at the bandits in the Little Ridge Mountain. They specialize in robbing passing merchants. Their brothers are all fat and shouting. Their subordinates are all elite soldiers. They can easily destroy our village.”
"The reason why they are so powerful is because they have enough food. We've suffered so many losses in food before, and the people from the south are about to attack. For the future, we have to store nearly a year's worth of food. Who knows what will happen in Beiping in the future?”
"Second brother, third brother, I know what you're talking about, but I'm thinking about whether we can eat this batch of food. After all, our village is not strong. Other than 300 people who can fight, the other 200 people don't have any combat strength at all. They're probably only slightly stronger than those farmers who farm. If someone wants to snatch this piece of fat meat from us, will we be able to snatch it from them? Don't let all of us be wiped out. It's not easy to save so much money over the years. I don't want to ruin such a big family all at once. However, it's impossible for me to give up this piece of fat meat. My brothers are only following me for a full meal. If I can't let my brothers have a full meal, it's my dereliction of duty as the chief. No matter what, we have to interfere in this matter!”
