Chapter 333: I can't afford to offend
A few gray-clothed men stopped, and someone helped the young man up, threw him a few taels of silver angrily, and waved his hand and shouted, "Go!" Blind your dog's eyes, and don't look at who you dare to do! Count yourself lucky this time, and put the highlight next time! ”
Not far from here, there is a small tea stall with a pergola, and there are several tables of people sitting in the tea stall. There were four or five people sitting at a table next to the pen & fun & pavilion www.biquge.info, led by a middle-aged man with a thin figure and a dark eye, wearing a green cloth cotton robe.
The middle-aged man, surnamed Pang, is one of the gang bosses in this area of the dock.
The people at this table saw the scene just now clearly, and then watched the beaten young man limp away, and a man at the same table muttered in a low voice: "Big brother, the one who was beaten just now seems to be our person." ”
"I know." The middle-aged man surnamed Pang nodded, his face gloomy.
Another person at the same table spoke: "This Mei Ji workshop has not been opened for a long time, and their owner doesn't seem to have come to visit the dock, according to the custom, we should have come to the door to ask him for trouble, and now they have beaten our people." Big brother, are we just going to forget it? ”
The middle-aged man took a sip of tea, staring at Dumb and the gray-clothed people with a stupid look on his face, but he had to reply with a stupid but convincing expression: "Yes, forget it." We can't afford to mess with those people. ”
"Who are those people?" Several men at the same table asked in unison.
"The people of Qingfeng Village." The man surnamed Pang replied lightly, and the people at the table were immediately silenced.
After a while, someone hesitated and said, "How is it possible?" We have been in Qingzhou for so many years, the people of Qingfeng Village have never been involved in the affairs of Qingzhou City and the dock, they are mysterious and terrifying to us, they are all high-ranking people. ”
"We still only hear of these people. If they are really from Qingfeng Village, how can they be reduced to being thugs? ”
The other also said: "Yes, in the past few days, I have seen them follow behind the female owner of Mei Ji every day, all like tails, clearly guards." ”
"It is said that Qingfeng Village guards a gold mine, they are not short of money, and they are not afraid of power, and even the soldiers of Qingzhou Mansion were afraid of them a little in the past. Now that they are jointly forming an army with the Qingzhou government, the Qingzhou prefect has to look up to them a few points - how can just these people be the female proprietor of a commercial house as a guard? ”
A few people, you and I said a word, and the tone of the words was full of suspicion. In the end, there was finally one person who dared to question directly: "So I don't think it can be from Qingfeng Village." Big brother, could you be mistaken? ”
Someone actually doubted his words, and the middle-aged man surnamed Pang was very angry. He slammed his teacup: "I can't be mistaken!" Look at the kid who took the lead! He pointed to the dumb man on the dock who was guarding the boat with the gray-clothed man under the boat, shaking his head to himself.
- "Just that kid, I once gambled with him in a casino, and he brought with him a middle-aged man who looked like black charcoal. The explanation surnamed Pang, "At that time, the two of them were gambling happily, and in front of the casino people, they called themselves from Qingfeng Village. ”
"I was close to them, I heard very clearly, and I saw carefully. Never make the mistake! ”
After the surnamed Pang finished speaking, several of his subordinates let out an "oh" in surprise.
"Big brother said so, then it must be it." The man who had raised doubts before immediately agreed with the boss's words, but he still had questions: "How can the female owner of Meiji invite someone from Qingfeng Village?" I've inquired, she seems to be just a daughter of an official family, the daughter of Jiang Zongjin, the former Qingzhou general judge, she-"
"You'd better not inquire about her! You can't afford to offend you! Suddenly, an old and capable man spoke in a corner of the tea shop, and everyone turned their heads in shock.
At an inconspicuous table in the corner of the room, an old man in a soap coat sat at some point. The old man was black and thin-skinned, with a big nose and small eyes, and he was the veteran who had been to Qingfeng Village with Zhao Dujian.
Of course, he's not just a veteran. "Captain Yan!" The surname Pang hurriedly got up, with a solemn look on his face.
The thin black old man put down the two copper plates and paid for the tea, stood up and nodded at the surnamed Pang with a smile, and said, "Who put me in charge of the security of this area, so I have to mention you-"
The old man's chin was a little to the cargo ship on the other side of the dock, and he squeezed his eyes mysteriously, "That person's background is very complicated, not to mention you, even our current Lord Zhao Dujian can't afford to mess with him." Therefore I advise you not to seek disgrace from yourselves. ”
The old man walked out as he spoke, walked to their table and specially advised, "You should also take care of Mei Ji's business, and ask less about other things--I'm all for your good, hehe-" After speaking, he walked out of the tea shop with a smile, walked up to the dock in a few steps, and continued to patrol.
The people at this table were shocked.
Although these gangsters are rampant, they have always been very respectful of the people in the government. What's more, this Yan Lieutenant is a mixture of black and white, he is very righteous, and the gangsters are willing to give him face, and the middle-aged man surnamed Pang took his words as good words at this time, and walked out of the tea shop with a table of people silently.
In the afternoon, after the white clouds were long, and after a boatload of goods was loaded, Jin Ju had already ordered food from the restaurant.
The porters who loaded and unloaded the goods and the men of the cloth shop gathered in those tea shops by the river to eat.
Jin Ju called the people in the tea shop and walked around with teapots to fill everyone with tea. As Jiang Li's right-hand man, her status is comparable to that of the shopkeepers in these stores, and after a few trips, the guys in these workshops and warehouses are familiar with her, and sometimes they will give her opinions when they have them.
Xiao Xiang and Jiang Li sat on a table not far from the table, on the table was the account book of this shipment, Jiang Li took the account book on the table and read them one by one, and handed it to Xiao Xiang to sort out and put aside.
Qiushuang had a headache about these business matters, Jiang Li sorted out the account books, and she followed behind Aunt Hong to collect the food of their female dependents.
The food they want to eat is no different from that of the guys, except that Aunt Hong makes it herself. This year, the business is busy, and lunch is infinitive, but for the porters and guys who do manual work like Mei Ji, it is always good to have an extra meal, not to mention that when this beautiful owner comes, he will always order a delicious meal for them from the restaurant.
The fact that someone stole Jiang Li's sachet and was beaten by Dumb and his gang also spread among everyone at this time. Xiaoxiang didn't go with her in the warehouse at that time, and only asked during dinner: "Master, someone stole your things just now?" ”
"Well, I didn't lose anything, and that person was beaten by Dumb and others." Jiang Li replied simply, and Xiao Xiang simply said "oh", and let it go without mentioning it.
On other people's side, the topic is obviously much more complicated.
