The night breeze is bleak. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The Pearl River Wharf outside Guangzhou becomes a lawless world at night. The local society such as the wharf is complex, and there are many brave and ruthless people in the grassroots Lifu, and even some Jianghu people or fugitives are mixed in the Lifu team to make a living and avoid being wanted by the government. In order to compete for the dock land, or the business of foot money, it is common for everyone to fight and even draw knives to kill people, basically several times a day, as long as it is not big, no one cares.

With the recent expansion of the military food business and the increasing number of grain ships from other places, the competition among coolies has become more intense, so the tearing and killing have become more frequent. Especially at night, the scramble for killing becomes even more ferocious, and it is not uncommon to hack a dozen people to death for a few taels of silver. In this era, the life of a scholar is very expensive, and the life of an ordinary lifu may only be worth a few copper plates. The yamen is not surprised by this kind of thing, and they don't pay much attention to the life and death of the coolies, and at night the old men can't see it, and it has nothing to do with them how messy the dock is.

After dark, the yamen handed over the power of law enforcement to the powerful, so that the ghosts and spirits could run amok.

The sound of running, screaming, and the sound of swords slashing into a body woke the people in a shack. There are many such shacks on the docks, and they are places for outsiders who cannot afford to rent a house.

Such people don't even have a household registration, and there are no human rights at all in a place like the dock, and it often happens that two gangs join forces and fight here, and the innocents who live here are hacked to death together. The government does not care whether they live or die, and the only thing that can protect their own rights and interests is the weapon in their hands.

The four men who lived in this shack had experienced this kind of thing several times in the past few days, and they had already gained experience. Sounds of fighting and banging on the door panel were heard, and the man sat up from the ground, his weapon in his hand. There was no light in the room, and the moonlight shone through the cracks in the shack, shining on the four of them, faintly shining on the burly silhouettes and the muscles of the grave.

The fight outside did not last long, and the pursuers resisted for a while, and then began to flee again, and the pursuers did not show much interest in the hut, cursed two swear words, and raised their weapons to continue the pursuit. The four men let out a long breath, and one of them whispered:

"Damn, I can't be idle these nights, and I can't even sleep. If you are on the island, kill all these birdmen one by one. ”

"Leave them alone, you can go back early after your business, and you don't have to mess around here. That one still hasn't heard from you? Hand them over to the government as soon as possible, and we'll be able to go back. ”

There was silence in the shack, and several of the men were good at fighting, but they were not good at anything other than fighting. As for dealing with the government, using the eyeliner in the government to borrow a knife to kill people, except for his former companions, he doesn't know anything. Considering the relationship between the two in the past, even if they don't say it, the taste in their hearts is not good.

Even if you have embarked on the road of killing people and selling goods, you will always have a conscience to survive, not to mention that in the past, you used to advertise yourself with righteous anger and other words, and over time, you will always be affected. Now doing things that betray your beliefs, you will never feel better.

After a long sigh, a man said: "No matter what, we have to do what the family has to do, and we are also for our own good." Lin Fang is finished, he can't really let him take the seat, there is no such rule. ”

"But leave it to the government...... That's not big, is it? ”

"The government has already promised to kill him if he takes it, so that he will not be punished, and he will not divulge any secrets. At the moment, this is the best way, and besides, those big families can't let him go, and sooner or later he will die, and our inside line will make him suffer less. ”

At this moment, there was another knock on the door of the shack, and the sound was weak and intermittent. Several men are familiar with this type of knocking, and when they wake up from being severely injured or pretending to be dead, they will try to knock on the nearest door to ask for help. A man said coldly, "Get out!" If you dare to disturb Lao Tzu's good dreams again, I will kill you! ”

The knocking on the door did not stop, it still insisted on ringing, and the big man came to the door with a knife, and said in a low voice: "Wait a minute, I'll open the door for you!" "The door is out, and the knife has already stabbed out along the door panel.

The expected blade stabbing into the body didn't materialize, and the knife passed through the door panel, leaving nothing in front of it. The long-time enemy man felt it very clearly, and the knife was stabbed into the air. The man subconsciously drew the knife back, the wooden door was already tattered, and the knife was very easy to draw, but at the moment when the knife was withdrawn, a sound of moving sounded.

With a click, a shiny spear head stabbed into the door against the blade.

As soon as the big man's knife was halfway back, the tip of the spear had already pierced into his chest, sealing his bad sound back into his throat. The man staggered backwards and knocked over another companion who had just stood up. The other two watched as he retreated involuntarily, slamming into the wall made of wood, and the sharp tip of the spear was inserted into the wall panel, nailing the man to the top as well.

The big man didn't die for a while, desperately trying to move his body, but the spear stabbed too deeply, and the more he struggled, the more blood flowed, and there was nothing else he could do except scream and bleed.

"Third Brother Hua's Soul Breaking Gun?"

A big man looked at the whole short spear pierced into the shack and was stunned, he was very familiar with this weapon, but he didn't believe that the owner of the weapon would attack them. The dilapidated wooden door made a loud noise, parting to the left and right, and in the hazy moonlight, a slender figure appeared at the head of the door.

"That's right, this is Hua Longfei's Soul Breaking Gun. If you dare to oppose the water, the biggest reliance is to have this magic spear. Now that the spear is here, what other hole cards do you have, you might as well take them out and let me see. ”

The target that Fang had just been thinking about suddenly appeared in front of him, and several men were stunned at first, and then they were panicked. The man who had just been knocked over had just stood up at this time, and pointed his finger at the human: "You...... Why do you have a Soul Breaker Gun, Third Brother Hua? ”

"The gun is there, and the gun is missing. Now that his gun is in my hand, where do you say the others are? ”

"You killed Third Brother Hua? How can it be? How did you kill him......" Dahan's tone was more appropriate than angry.

In the hand of the visitor, a long knife glowed blue in the moonlight, like a giant scythe of death, about to harvest the humble soul in front of him. The tone of his voice is similarly impermanent, without the slightest mood swing.

"The country has its own laws, and the family has its own rules. From the moment you betrayed your siblings and colluded with the government, you should know that today's fate is here. Neither the Soul Lance nor you are going to die. I was injured in the Jinyi Guard Yamen, and I was injured again when I killed Hua Longfei, and now I only have forty percent of my usual strength at most, and you can fight hard, maybe there is a way to live. ”

The three big men glanced at each other, suddenly gritted their teeth, lifted the weapon in their hands and rushed towards the person at the head of the door, the man held the knife in both hands and squatted slightly, and in a loud shout, the knife had already slashed towards the person who rushed first. On the dock, there were swords and swords, and there were bursts of killing, and occasionally screams rang out.

The two people who were sent to hunt for more quickly had already become numb to the killing of the docks, and even if they cut people in front of them, they would only not see them. Listening to the sound of shouting and killing, chasing, and shouting and scolding, it is only regarded as an entertainment program. The two dukes chatted without a match, "This time the nine-headed dragon is going to kill all the ghosts, who do you want to buy?" ”

"It's hard to say, one and a half catties, that one has eight taels. One relationship is in the army, the other relationship is in the standard camp, the devil knows whether to win or lose, you dare to make this kind of bet, beware of losing to death. ”

"Isn't it a gamble to lose, the gang here hasn't been so lively for a long time, such a big event, don't bet a few hands, how to get yourself right." As he spoke, he stretched his waist and said, "I'm so sleepy, I'm so dignified, I want to find out what kind of prison robbers, and I will be sent to patrol the night." What's there to patrol at night here at the docks, really, off the line! If it weren't for the chaos above, I would still be sleeping at home with my wife, but now that I'm fine, I'm going to feed you mosquitoes here. ”

"Everyone is almost there, no one should blame anyone, it's hard to disobey the fate, I don't know when Jinyiwei will come to check the post, do a good job, and stay here for one night. I asked my wife to cook the soup, and when the shift was changed, she would come to my house to drink the soup. ”

While the two were gossiping, a muffled sound came from the dock, not very loud, as if it was a muffled thunder. The two yawning ones were quick to catch a lot, and one of them rubbed his eyes and said, "Is the nine-headed dragon crazy and dares to use a fire gun?" ”

"It's hard to say, maybe it's the ghost killing, this person is not sober-minded, even the archers dared to use it last time, who knows if he will go crazy and buy a fire gun. Do you want to see this? ”

"Look at a ghost, he even dares to take out the fire gun now, to see if he wants to be beaten? Wait for the dawn to report to Jinyi, let them check it, who dares to break the rules? It's good to cut people, and if you dare to use firearms, it's strange if you don't kill them. ”

After about a cup of tea, an unfamiliar figure appeared in the field of vision of the two dukes, he walked unfast, unhurried, as if strolling leisurely. On the dock where people kill people and grab territory at night, walking alone like this is inexplicably weird. Out of professional instinct, the two dukes stretched out their hands and prepared to stop the people for interrogation. But only with the person's gaze, both of them had an inexplicable suddenness in their hearts, and when they were about to ask, they all swallowed back and looked in the other direction very tacitly.

It wasn't until the man walked far away that a catcher said, "He'...... Gone? ”

"Let's go...... Let's go. ”

"Did you see that?"

"yes, a lot of blood. In the past, I only knew that ghost killing was all crazy, but now I see that most of the nine-headed dragons are also crazy. I don't know who hired such a killer to cut people, this time there must be a big mess, even if they take a few hundred taels of silver to smooth it out this time, I won't cover it up for them, I must report it. ”

"I didn't say this, the direction in which the man went, how do I feel...... Town? It's so late, can he call open the city gates? ”

"Cats have cat paths, rats have rat paths, probably climb the city. But what is he doing in the city at such a late hour? ”

The two glanced at each other, and at the same time remembered one thing, the killer entered the city, and naturally he wanted to kill someone. This time in Guangzhou, eighty percent of them will have a big mess. Thinking of rubbing shoulders with such a Shura-like figure, on a summer night, the two dukes only felt cold all over their bodies, and one muttered silently: "It's not just soup, this time I have to find a goddess to be shocked, it's too scary." ”

Half an hour later, the fat guy king opened the door scoldingly, ready to teach this uninvited guest who smashed the door in the middle of the night a lesson, no matter who it was, he would scold him first. But as soon as the door opened, a leather bag was handed over, and with a scream, the skin fell to the ground, and the human head rolled back and forth in the small courtyard. In the room, Second Sister Liang, who was dressed up, had already asked, "It's so late, who?" The child's crying also sounded.

The sun is shining.

The accident at the dock, or the encounter between the two dukes and Jin Yiwei's rectification of the gang at the dock, has nothing to do with Fan Jin. Although he returned to the city, Sa Shizhong also wanted to do big things, but Fan Jin took leave from Lingyunyi in the name of studying and preparing for the exam, and returned home to study. Duck out of the eye of the storm.

With Lin Feng being taken, the competition for interests has become more direct. Although due to the identity of the scholar, everyone is not like a martial artist who fights with arms and fists, but the lethality of the invisible sword is not necessarily less than that of the real guy. Fan Jin, a rising bird, has no foundation for fame and fame, so it is easier to become the target of public criticism.

For example, Chen Lan was involved, obviously it was the result of the cooperation between the people around Ling Yunyi and Luo Yinghe, and by attacking Chen Lan to suppress Fan Jin's momentum, he couldn't let him rise too fast. At the very least, it is necessary to leave the governor with the impression that Fan Jin is short-sighted and perverse.

If Fan Jin chooses to counterattack and go back, it is not impossible, relying on his own knowledge and the strength of Sa Shizhong and others, he may not be able to meet those staff. However, if the enemy dies 1,000 and loses 800, he will definitely have to pay the price. What's more, those staff members have either followed Ling Yunyi for many years, or are fellow villagers, and when it comes to making a choice, Fan Jin can't say which side Ling Yunyi will give up. Moreover, it is not wise to leave the impression that the proprietor is aggressive and grabbing success, and the image maintained before will be discounted, so he chose to retreat after careful consideration.

Of course, the idea for Sa Shizhong's side is also to come out, and occasionally Jinyiwei will also send some information, and everyone will analyze how to arrest people. Fan Jin is not a professional in this field in the first place, and the opinions he can put forward may not be very clever, but he just participates in it and shares some credit, but his life is quieter than the current governor Yamen. Compared with the Yamen working hard and burying himself in the papers, the scenery in this small courtyard is more charming.

"Jin Zai, does the third sister's clothes look good? The color may be a little brighter, but fortunately, it doesn't matter if I only wear it in the yard, and when I wear it, people will laugh at me and say that I am a monster. ”

With a wooden hairpin sent by Fan Jin on his head, Liang Pandi, who was wearing a big red jacket skirt, was like a blooming peony, and turned around in front of Fan Jin for two circles, and then learned from everyone's beautiful appearance, fluttering and blessed. "How is it, is the third sister beautiful?"

Since the last time he was cut, Liang Pandi's attitude towards Fan Jin has changed greatly. In the past, although she was good with Fan Jin, she always avoided intimacy. Either because of his identity, or because of the age gap, he seems very passive. The mode of getting along with the two is basically Fan Jin attacking, and hoping that his brother will escape. But since he came back from the countryside this time, Liang Pandi has changed his style from the past, turning defense into offense, and his enthusiasm has made Fan Jin drunk, and he doesn't want to leave her for half a step.

Looking at her red, Fan Jin clapped his hands and said, "Beautiful, of course beautiful." What old witch, third sister, you are not yet thirty years old this year, it is a woman's good years, like flowers blooming, don't say that you are old. But doesn't the third sister always ask me to read more, why don't you want me to study today? ”

"I have to take a breath when I hang myself, I won't stare at the granary today, you don't read, neither of us will be called, can you talk well? Even if the eldest sister comes, you are not allowed to open the door! As long as you think it looks good, my silver is not in vain, let me tell you, I bought several clothes, you wait, I will change them to you one by one, you see if it is beautiful. ”

"Of course beauty is beautiful, it's just that this dress is so good, the hairpin is too old, take it off and replace it with a new one."

"Dare? Whoever dares to touch my hairpin, I will fight with him! I'm going to say now that I can buy a lot of jewelry, and some people are willing to give me something, but for me, even if I pile up all the jewelry in the world in front of me, I can't get this hairpin back, just because it's the best for you. You sit and don't move, I'll go change my clothes. ”
