Chapter 113: The most important thing is face
Although Zhao Bocai said something, he didn't have much hope.
The Liao family has always rented a ship from Daxing. Those rivers will not think that the Liao family's goods are small, and they are all eager for the powerful family to support the scene.
During the journey, all the affairs were taken care of by the people running the river, and the Liao family did not negotiate with the wharf.
Under normal circumstances, the big ships will not make supplies as soon as they leave Tongzhou, and most of them will not dock in Yiyang.
Therefore, whether it is the Liao family or the master accompanying the boat, except that the ship does not dock here, although it docks, it will not show up.
To his surprise, someone squeaked.
An inconspicuous little minion whispered: "Looking at the little one, the middle-aged man in charge of the ship is a little familiar. A few years ago, the Liao family took a fleet to settle here, and this person once took people off the ship and entered Yiyang City. ”
"You're right?" Zhao Bocai asked a useless word, and the little minion immediately doubted himself, "The little one just sees it from afar...... It's not very clear. ”
Two uncertainties are made at once.
Zhao Bocai is not a straw bag, in fact, as soon as he heard the report just now, he decided that this matter was true.
I didn't ask any more questions at the moment, but sat down slowly.
The strong man who stood up with him was also stunned, and sat back with him.
After thinking for a while, the strong man asked tentatively: "Or, I'll explore the truth again?" ”
"No need," Zhao Bocai waved his hand, frowned, and said hatefully, "Gu Tiancheng dared to throw down the three boats and set out to deliver the package, probably because of this, there are people on the ship that we scruple about." ”
Gu Tiancheng, this kid, is really not a vegetarian, maybe the rumors are really not groundless.
A boy with no foundation, not only took the Hongjiang Shipyard, but also got the Liao family's goods.
After listening to Zhao Bocai's words, the other people in the hall looked at each other, and one of them asked, "What should I do if I arranged to rob Gu Tiancheng's brother just now?" ”
"What else can I do? Shout it all back! Zhao Bocai said angrily, extremely unwilling.
Seeing that Zhao Bocai's face was not good, the cousins were also cautious, and they were ordered to do things, and those who had nothing to do also secretly retreated.
It took nearly an hour for Gu Tiancheng and his brothers to send their respective packages out and return one after another.
And these people who came back were originally in a hurry all the way and in a hurry.
But when I walked into the docks, I saw from afar that nothing happened to my three cargo ships, as they had done when they left, floating calmly on the water. One by one, they slowed down, slowly, and steadily, and went to the place where the Chengyun ship docked.
One by two, they finally walked to the side of the boat, but stopped again. As soon as they met each other, they looked around with their chins raised, but they no longer got on the boat, but turned around, but walked around the dock.
While strolling, I also talked and laughed with my companions around me, which was so pleasant.
Zhao Bocai and the others were still struggling whether to get on the boat and give the Liao family steward a soft service and apologize, but they heard the whispers of the minions outside the door.
After asking, I learned about this situation, Gu Tiancheng's people are actually playing on the field?!
When I walked to the gate of the compound and saw the real situation from afar, my angry teeth were about to be crushed.
These miscellaneous people, this is specially for them to see, to the dock to show the people, specifically to cut their face!
The ships that come and go and dock are probably unaware of what happened before.
But there are many people begging for a living on the Yiyang Wharf, and they not only know what happened that day.
And under the deliberate propaganda of Zhao Bocai and others, Gu Tiancheng honestly handed over one hundred taels of silver, and everyone knew it clearly.
But now, Gu Tiancheng's boat has come back in a big way, not only did they not come to worship the dock to give in, but their people also arrogantly walked around his dock and provoked him.
Every kick that walked out was like stepping on the faces of Zhao Bocai and his brothers.
As the people of Chengyun came back one by one, there were more people wandering around the wharf unscrupulously, ten, eight, and then a dozen or twenty, which actually attracted the attention of everyone on and down the wharf.
People don't know what's going on, but they know that Big Brother Wharf and the thugs who walk sideways all day long not only didn't come out to shout and kick as usual, but they seemed to shrink up and disappear.
In the early days of operation, the delivery office had not yet had time to set up delivery stations in various places. Therefore, I can only let the brothers on the ship play temporary couriers everywhere.
Gu Tiancheng is the elite among couriers, and he is the one who picks up the most items and has the longest delivery journey every time.
This time was the same, Gu Tiancheng and a brother, the two of them were together, and after delivering the package in their hands, they hurried back. I saw his brothers, who had come out of the nest, wandering aimlessly on the docks.
Gu Tiancheng is angry and funny, it's right to step on the Yiyang Wharf, but the meaning is enough, what does it mean to wander around endlessly? .
But look at these guys, the rhythm and line of hanging out there with their swagger and swagger have affected all the serious people on the docks.
I felt the abnormality of the atmosphere of the wharf, whether it was running errands, being an intermediary, or carrying bags, and when I encountered these dozen nostrils facing the sky and not looking at the road, I also avoided them one after another.
There are two people who can't get angry, and they want to step forward and do it. But looking at the attitude of these many people, it is clear that they are specifically provoking and waiting for people to go up and do it.
Thinking about it again, the people of the big brother at the dock don't know where to shrink, they are little people who have no roots and no foundation, so forget it. Knowing that you can't win and still step forward, that's not a bastard, that's a fool.
As a result, the current situation of being disrupted and no one coming out to stop drinking has been maintained.
"It's all idle and nothing to do, huh?!" Gu Tiancheng walked in the direction of his cargo ship, and asked the two brothers who were swinging and crossing each other angrily.
One of them shrunk his neck, not daring to squeak.
The other was a hippie smiling face, and Gu Tiancheng said haha: "Immediately, let me turn around again, just one circle." ”
As he spoke, he was afraid that Gu Tiancheng would drag him, so he quickened his pace and walked away.
The one who shrunk his neck peeked at Gu Tiancheng's face, and saw that he was not too annoyed, so he also said: "I will also turn around immediately." I stopped by and told the other brothers that I had to return to the ship after a turn. ”
As he spoke, he also walked away.
This is really not bad for them, they suffered such a big loss last time, lost a hundred taels of silver, and also came with the fists and kicks of the brothers.
Wouldn't it be a pity to let go of such a good opportunity now?
When the brothers come out to mix, the most important thing is not to take a few punches and kicks, but to save face...... Everyone wants to save face, don't you understand?!
Now, they just have face and can walk on the face of the other person! Raise your eyebrows!
The dock has the rules of the dock, but everyone does things seriously, so wandering around the dock aimlessly and hindering others from doing things is their own territory in Muliang Town, which is also to be scolded.
But here, that's what they did.
And Zhao Bocai, who was invincible last time, made a shrinking turtle at this time, and the turtle shrank and didn't dare to come out.
It's good to experience this kind of exhilaration.
