Chapter 55: Gossip

After finishing his errand that day, Kang Hao really had dinner outside.

The name of the catcher surnamed Zhang is Zhang Chunsheng, because of Zheng Zhutou's introduction, and he and Kang Hao feel that they are on the right path, and the more they chat, the more speculative they become.

"The steward of Hongjiang Shipyard in the morning, Brother Kang, did you see it?" Zhang Chunsheng put down his wine glass and asked.

"See, I was with Brother Zhang at the time." Kang Hao said.

Zhang Chunsheng chewed the crispy and tender bamboo shoots, shook his head and sighed: "If you want to say, your Yishui County is really a place for talents." Take your brother Kang as an example, although he is young, he can speak and act competently, and I am ashamed of myself. ”

Kang Hao picked up the wine jug, filled it for him, and said humbly: "Brother, don't lift me up, I came from a small place, and I still know my little catty." ”

"Eh-" Zhang Chunsheng waved his hand, "Don't be presumptuous, let's not say anything else, our eyesight is still there." Brother, your future will never be just a fast catcher, but a great future. ”

"Then thank you Brother Zhang, if his younger brother is promoted to catch the head, he must remember the good words of the elder brother today." Kang Hao was not hypocritical, and raised his glass to Zhang Chunsheng with a smile.

Zhang Chunsheng also held the wine glass, and after clinking glasses with Kang Hao, he raised his neck and drank it all, and continued: "Brother, I'm not talking about head-hunting...... Forget it, don't talk about this, don't talk about this. ”

immediately changed the topic: "What we just said, the two people who cooperated with Hongjiang Shipyard, one of them is named Gu Tiancheng, who is also from your Yishui County, you know this person, right?" ”

Speaking of Gu Tiancheng, Kang Hao was depressed in his heart.

"How could you not know? Gu Tiancheng is a native of Muliang Town, but his reputation is well-known in the entire wharf under the jurisdiction of Yishui County. As early as two years ago, Gu Tiancheng, who was still a teenager, had nearly 100 coolies around him and had a great reputation. ”

After introducing Gu Tiancheng, Kang Hao said with a little amazement: "Don't hide it from Brother Zhang, when the younger brother heard about Gu Tiancheng and his person, he felt that he had a very good temper, but he never had a chance to make friends." ”

In fact, he had the opportunity to make friends, if it was a normal situation, his wife and Yuan Dongchu were the same age and neighbors, maybe he and Gu Tiancheng could already be called brothers and sisters now.

"That's a pity, this Gu Tiancheng is also a powerful person. If you can make friends with this person when he is at the end of his life, and help each other in the future, both parties can go further. Today on the dock, Boss Sha's people ......," Zhang Chunsheng said.

What Zhang Chunsheng said was the confrontation dispute on the dock that Kang Hao and Lian Qiaozhen missed after they left.

At that time, Yuan Changhe guided the two sand boats docked at the dock, and not long after they started loading, someone shouted to stop them.

"Stop, stop! Stop it all! Where did this ship come from? Are there any rules?! didn't even say hello, just came to our dock to grab food, this is not a way to live?! ”

The man who shouted was a fat man in his thirties, with a horizontal face and a fierce face.

He was followed by seven or eight small minions, all of whom were also aggressive and provocative, and seemed to be about to fight if they disagreed.

With the appearance of this group of people, those who worked hard to carry the work thought that they were used to seeing this situation, and immediately stopped.

Those who had just unloaded their goods and were empty-handed, hula la dispersed, standing far away and watching the development of the situation.

Those who carry heavy loads on their shoulders are a little slower, and some have time to put their loads on the ground and throw down the goods to dodge.

But there was also too late, a porter who was very close to the comer, just put down the goods on his shoulder, and the fat man stepped forward, kicked it hard, kicked the porter away, and fell several steps away.

The bearer fell to the ground in pain, and it looked like he had fallen quite miserably.

At the same time, people from far and near, some of whom were doing things on the dock every day, and some who watched the excitement from the boat, also let out bursts of exclamations.

It's just that as soon as these people's exclamations came out, they were swept by the fierce gazes of He Fat Man and others, and they all hid their breath.

Yuan Changhe was taking care of the goods on the boat by the side of the boat, and when he heard the movement, he hurriedly turned around and was about to go over to check.

As soon as he took two steps, he was stopped by Gu Tiancheng, who came in a hurry: "Uncle is here to greet the workers, and I'll deal with it over there." ”

This kind of thing is the horizontal fear of being stunned, and the stunned being afraid of dying. Yuan Changhe passed, that was the result of saying good things and giving money.

About Yuan Changhe also understood this, and didn't insist anymore, but only advised: "Be careful, they will give it if they don't ask for much money, and try not to have conflicts." ”

Gu Tiancheng promised to "know", and glanced around the boat and the shore, their own boatmen.

Those people were all newly recruited by Gu Tiancheng, and there were a few of them, who were very ordinary when driving a boat, but they were not ambiguous in causing trouble and fighting.

Receiving Gu Tiancheng's eyes, those few people moved one after another.

There was no hurry, the five people who were lazy and lazy followed behind Gu Tiancheng sparsely, dragging their steps and shaking over.

When he arrived at the place of the incident, Gu Tiancheng gave up his hand from a distance, looking old-fashioned: "This big brother, our ship docked, loaded, and transported goods in accordance with the rules. What the eldest brother said just now, I'm afraid I remembered it wrong. ”

"Don't do this with uncle! Ye is eating this bowl of rice, can you remember the mistake if you pay the silver? What do you mean? Not only do you want to grab food with your grandfather, but you also want to smash your master's job! Look for death! ”

The fat man not only spoke in a bad tone, but also took two steps forward, stretched out his hand and pushed Gu Tiancheng away.

Gu Tiancheng didn't resist at all, and took two steps back.

The onlookers whispered again: The one who came doesn't look good. Not only was there a young offspring, but this one was pushed to the ground, and he had no combat power.

Of the five who followed Gu Tiancheng, only two of them came up. The last three weren't in a hurry, and they were still hanging listlessly there.

The two who followed saw Gu Tiancheng being pushed back, a fierce light flashed in his eyes, and the laziness on his body disappeared in an instant.

Gu Tiancheng shook his head and didn't let them move.

After turning around, the smile on his face was even worse: "It turns out that you are not mistaken, uncle, then it must be that I am mistaken!" Master, I thought you were in charge of the yamen and the wharf, but it turned out that you weren't. So, you're the one who bosses the sand? ”

"It's not too late to know, bring all your belongings and go with you. Our filial boss is happy, you may be able to go with this cargo. The fat man said triumphantly.

Gu Tiancheng sneered, turned his head and asked the five shipwrights who had already rubbed up: "Are you so decrepit?" Eat mixed rice in Tongzhou Mansion, all of them are filial piety to the bosses everywhere? ”

"Phew!" A gangster in his twenties, but with a scruffy beard, spat on the ground fiercely, and then said with a drag, "If you know how to be filial, will you be so miserable?" ”

That's right, these goods are the kind of goods that are naturally rebellious and unpopular. It is quite horizontal and not controlled by people, and the harm is not very great.

So everyone turned a blind eye and chose to ignore them.

As a result, they are not people of any force, but they can wander around their respective territories, looking for serious shops, businesses, and foreign populations, and eating together.

"Cao, how can you talk so much about being so miserable!" Gu Tiancheng despised it.

"What? Are you not convinced?! The other glared at him, and he had the strength to fight first, and the fierce and vicious people on the fat man's side were actually ignored.
