Zhao Xuemei already knew that her father was dead. When she saw Liu Defu, she gritted her teeth and shouted, "Old Gou Liu, you killed my father, I want you to pay your life." As she said that, she was about to pounce on her, and Du Shengxi grabbed her arm and stopped her.

Liu Defu has seen the world, and he was not panicked. He said, "Your father's death was purely an accident, and I just knew about this. Think about it, what good will it do to me if I want to marry you as the sixth concubine? "

What he said makes some sense.

Zhao Xuemei still said angrily: "If you hadn't sent someone to arrest my father in prison, how could he die there?"

At this time, Li San, an adjutant of the Public Security Army, said: "Miss Zhao, the conditions in the prison are not good. Your father is already sick. The third young master, also known as our captain, has sent someone to see him sick, but unfortunately he was not rescued. This matter really has nothing to do with Mr. Liu."

He was in charge of Liu Defu's third son, so he could only come out to speak for him.

Gao Han thought for a while and said, "Miss Zhao, things have become like this, let's look forward.

I want to ask you, are you still willing to marry Mr. Liu?"

Zhao Xuemei said angrily: "My father is dead. If you want me to marry Liu Laogou, unless the sun hits the west side."

Gao Han said to Liu Defu: "Mr. Liu, as the saying goes, a forced melon is not sweet. Since Miss Zhao is unwilling, if you force her to marry her, you probably won't have a good life. It's better to do this. I'll ask for a love affair for Miss Zhao, let's forget about this marriage."

After Liu Defu heard that Zhao Xuemei's father died, he knew that the marriage was no longer meaningful. He forced Zhao Xuemei to be tied up just for his own face. In this situation, he did not want to cause trouble, so he said, "Just do it like this."

Gao Han said, "Master Liu, I want to trouble you. No matter what, Miss Zhao's father's death is also related to your Liu family. You can buy a good coffin and bury him. In addition, pay Miss Zhao a sum of money and have nothing to do with each other in the future. Don't disturb her anymore."

Liu Defu immediately said, "Okay. I will definitely do this."

Gao Han said to Zhao Xuemei: "Miss Zhao, do you think this matter can be handled like this?"

Zhao Xuemei Bingxue is smart. Although she hates Liu Defu and wishes to kill him with her own hands, she does not have the ability to do so. These bandits of unknown origin are not familiar with her, so she cannot make excessive demands. After a moment of silence, she finally nodded slowly.

Gao Han saw that the matter was resolved and said with relief: "This is the best."

Du Shengxi was worried that Xuemei would stay in the town alone, worried that she would be retaliated in the future. He said anxiously: "The boss, Miss Zhao is alone and helpless, leaving her alone in the town is not a solution."

After saying that, he looked at Zhao Xuemei, hoping that Zhao Xuemei could follow the team to Peach Blossom Mountain.

Although Zhao Xuemei didn't know who these people were, they didn't seem to be bad. She had no relatives and how a young girl could survive in this troubled times. She made up her mind and knelt on the ground and said, "Big Master, I want to follow you up the mountain and ask the boss to take him in."

Gao Han smiled and said, "Miss Zhao, we are bandits who robbed the house. You follow us up the mountain and your reputation is not very good."

Zhao Xuemei said firmly: "I'm not afraid. You are not bandits, but green forest heroes who kill the rich and help the poor. They are a hundred times better than those beasts in clothes."

Gao Han nodded and said, "Since that's the case, I'll accept you and get up."

Zhao Xuemei stood up and said, "Thank you, the boss."

Du Shengxi was even more happy when he saw Zhao Xuemei willing to go up the mountain.

At this time, Liu Defu's butler Wang Fengnian came over and said, "Master, the money and food are ready, and the carriage has been loaded, so you can set off."

Then, the housekeepers of other gentry families also came over to say that they had prepared money and food.

Gao Han said: "This is great. Thank you for your contribution to the fight against Japan. However, in order to reduce the trouble, please send us a trip. Please rest assured that you will come back when you arrive at the foot of the mountain."

Although Liu Defu and others were reluctant, what else could they say under such circumstances? They had to nod and agree.

Gao Han said to Wang Fengnian: "Master Liu and all the gentry can't walk far. You can prepare a big cart and let them get on it, so don't let them work too hard."

Liu Defu and others also expressed their gratitude.

Gao Han said to the people squatting in the yard: "Get up. I don't make things difficult for you, but within two hours, no one of you will be allowed to leave this yard. Otherwise, you will be responsible for the consequences."

Everyone said, "We dare not."

Then, Gao Han said to the adjutant Li San: "The people in the town must have gone to the county town to report the news. Your third young master will definitely bring troops to rescue people. You should go back and stop them on the road and persuade him not to be reckless. As long as he does not cause trouble, Master Liu will definitely come back safely."

Adjutant Li let him go when he heard this. He was very happy. He nodded repeatedly and said, "Don't worry, boss, I will persuade the third young master to withdraw his troops."

Gao Han led everyone out together. He remembered Wang Sanniang's explanation before leaving, and said to Wang Fengnian: "Butler Wang, go and make some floral cloth, rouge and powder, just enough for a few women to use."

Wang Fengnian hurried to do it.

Gao Han and others took the seized supplies and walked towards the mountains. When they passed by the checkpoint, they brought two team members who were guarding the prisoners of the puppet army, and together with the 11 puppet army prisoners, they took them to the mountains.

These puppet army prisoners had seen the Chinese prisoners of war in Gao Han and others. If they were put back, the Japanese and puppet army would be able to associate them with a group of lost prisoners of war. Therefore, these people could not let them go back for the time being.

Gao Han did not underestimate the IQ of the Japanese and traitors. They might be able to guess that this team was related to the loss of prisoners of war, but that was just a guess. It was different from the information that these puppet army prisoners saw with their own eyes. They could not be sure for a while, and they could hide it as long as they could.

Yang Jiong, the secretary of the county magistrate of Shouyang County, is a handsome young man. His expression and behavior are obviously well-educated. He was originally a student of Yanjing University in Peking, and he had secretly joined the underground party during his time at school.

After the fall of Jinan, anti-Japanese armed forces sprung up like mushrooms after a rain on Qilu. The Kuomintang recruited anti-Japanese armed forces in a large scale, and in just a short period of time, more than 50,000 people had gathered.

The Communist Party naturally did not want to be outdone and also sent a large number of backbone personnel to engage in the development of anti-Japanese armed forces.

Because Yang Jiong's home is from southern Shandong, and the county magistrate of Shoucheng County was his uncle, he was sent here to work due to this relationship. After the Japanese army occupied Jinan City, his work was mainly to help the underground party establish anti-Japanese armed forces. His identity within the party was the Military Minister of the Shouyang County Party Committee.

At this moment, he looked at the bandit team with interest. Although the team was not large in number, it looked quite powerful. Especially the bandit leader in the lead, although young, he looked quite experienced. In the environment where strong enemies looked around, his calmness and calmness were not something that ordinary people could do. Moreover, their ability to put on makeup to attack shows that this person is quite smart.

Moreover, these bandits are special. They neither bully men and women, burn, kill and loot, nor do they do things like opening warehouses and releasing grain, killing the rich and helping the poor, etc. Moreover, these bandits do not even report their own names, which is quite mysterious.

Although they also extorted a lot of money from the powerful and rich gentry, they did a very appropriate job and arranged everything in a well-organized manner.

Although he didn't know the origin of this bandit team, they were obviously not vicious people. They should be a team that they could fight for under the banner of anti-Japanese war.

Yang Jiong decided to observe secretly and first figure out their true identities.

Although Liu Shengyu, the third young master of the Liu family, has a very good face, but as a soldier, he has a good body and looks quite heroic.

Liu Shengyu received a report from the leader Ding Xiao of Taoyuan Town, saying that the Liu family compound had encountered bandits, and he immediately became furious. Especially when he heard that there were only about 20 bandits attacking the Liu family compound, he was even more angry.

He cursed viciously: "His grandma, where did you come from? You bullied me on my head. If you catch you, I will definitely peel you off and get cramps!"

He immediately called the Japanese military police in the county town. After explaining the situation, he took a puppet army in the reinforcement company, carrying two light machine guns, and rushed towards Taoyuan Town.
