【119】Internal and external cooperation
Li Muzi thought for a moment, scratched his head and said, "I don't know what's inside either, but my eldest brother knows."
Su Xueer looked at his silly look and scratched the back of her head, thinking of the silly Qianyu in her own yard.
Both of them are idiots.
At this moment, Qianyu, who was chopping wood in the yard, suddenly sneezed twice and looked at the sun.
He cursed, "Summer is almost here, why is it still so cold?"
Su Xueer was certain of one thing, that Li Muzi definitely didn't know about the things that Lihua Village was doing.
She thought for a moment, then looked at Li Muzi and said, "Brother Li, what do you think this is?"
Su Xueer took a piece of saltpeter and handed it to Li Muzi.
Li Muzi was shocked when he saw it and asked, "This is saltpeter. How did you get this? It's contraband."
Su Xueer asked curiously: "What is saltpeter? There are several carts of it hidden in the dilapidated house in the back mountain."
Li Muzi became even more panicked, because saltpeter was an item that the government had expressly prohibited from being privately possessed.
His face turned pale instantly as he realized the seriousness of the matter was beyond his imagination.
"Miss Su, if this gets out of hand, our entire Lihua Village will be..." Li Muzi said with a trembling voice.
Su Xueer said with a firm look, "Brother Li, we have to report this to the authorities. We can't let them continue to make mistakes like this. This is illegal. If this continues for a long time, your brother and his men will only become more and more greedy and worse. By then, everyone in Lihua Village will die."
Li Muzi gritted his teeth and made up his mind, "Okay, Miss Su, I'll listen to you."
So, the two began to secretly plan how to report the illegal activities of Lihua Village.
Su Xueer secretly wrote a letter, detailing the situation in Lihua Village, including the location where the saltpeter was hidden, the daily activities of Li Batian and his confidants, and the defensive weaknesses of Lihua Village.
She also carefully planned the specific details of the internal and external cooperation in the letter.
Then, he gave the letter to Li Muzi and asked Li Muzi to deliver it to Chi Rui.
After receiving the letter, Chi Rui did not respond, but just looked at Li Muzi for a long time.
Li Muzi was frightened by what he saw.
He hurried back to Lihua Village.
Li Batian decided to move the trucks of saltpeter late at night three days later.
Su Xueer passed the news to Qianyu when Qianyu came.
On the day of the operation, the night was as dark as ink. The people in Lihua Village were preparing to transfer the saltpeter. The atmosphere was tense and busy.
At this time, Qianyu and the government officials had quietly moved to the vicinity of Lihua Village, hiding in the dark, waiting for the signal from Su Xueer.
Su Xueer and Li Muzi pretended to help carry saltpeter and blended into the crowd.
When they saw Li Batian give the order and prepare to set off, Su Xueer secretly lit the special fireworks that had been prepared in advance.
The fireworks burst into brilliant light in the night sky, which was the signal to Qianyu.
When Qianyu saw the signal, he immediately led everyone to rush towards Lihua Village like a tiger descending the mountain.
They divided their troops into several groups according to the route planned in advance.
They rushed straight to the village gate, quickly eliminated the guards, opened the gate, and allowed subsequent personnel to enter smoothly.
Another group headed straight for the warehouse where saltpeter was stored to prevent anyone from taking the opportunity to destroy or transfer this contraband.
At this time, the people in the village were busy moving saltpeter and were completely unaware of the movement outside.
It was not until Chi Rui and others rushed into the village and shouted and killed that they woke up from their dream, but it was too late.
