Chapter 45: Suddenly
At noon that day, Lei Hu had just come out of the militia station and was about to return to the city.
"The tiger master is not good, the tiger master is not good!"
Halfway through, several Zhongyi cousins panicked and stumbled over in the direction of the dock.
"Lao Tzu is very good, what's the matter with you guys?"
His face was gloomy like water, Lei Hu's eyes flashed sharply, and he didn't want to shout angrily.
"The tiger master is not good!"
Those few people didn't know whether they were panicked or for some reason, they rushed over with panicked faces, and they all fell to their knees after a few blows, and one of them said in a panic with a dumb voice; "Foreigners, foreigners make trouble at the dock!"
What, foreigners make trouble?
With a pang in his heart, Lei Hu forcibly suppressed the anger in his chest, kicked the nearest brother to the ground, and said angrily with round eyes; "Tell me clearly, why are the foreigners making trouble?"
The few guys who were kneeling on the ground didn't know if they were stupid, and they were at a loss for a while, but the panic on their faces betrayed the horror in their hearts.
Lei Hu was so angry that his face darkened, if it weren't for the few junior brothers in front of him, he really wanted to beat them up.
Nima, isn't it just a foreigner making trouble, what a big deal?
Don't say it, foreigners' things are trouble!
Even in the previous life, Huaguo had been thoroughly developed, and the people's morale was high and they had the confidence to deal with foreigners, but the affairs of foreigners were still a big deal.
In the current situation, foreigners are uncles, at least in the southern region.
There is no way, the foreigners' warships are swaying in the open sea all day long, and the performance of the local governors and officials and soldiers is too cowardly, and if something happens, they will first hit their own people's boards, and the people on the southern coast are extremely afraid of foreigners.
There is a saying in later generations that the government is afraid of foreigners, and foreigners are afraid of the people or something, it is simply standing and talking without backache.
The people are even afraid of the government to the core, if they are not forced into a corner, will they dare to fight with foreigners?
In particular, the government has pulled the bias again and again, and even the dignified and famous ministers have shaved their heads on the affairs of foreigners, so many bloody lessons are placed there, which people will have the courage to fight with foreigners after they have eaten it?
"Tiger, Tiger Master, there are foreigners making trouble at the dock!"
A bolder junior brother of Zhongyitang opened his mouth and said hurriedly; "Hurry up and take a look, there's going to be a ruckus on the docks!"
Foreigners make trouble on the docks?
Lei Hu's eyes lit up, and he suddenly felt a little anxious in his heart, and said anxiously; "Don't hurry up, tell Lao Tzu what kind of trouble foreigners are doing, and talk while walking!"
Pulling up the little brother of Zhongyitang in front of him, he walked towards the direction of the dock with an unhappy face, and at the same time beckoned the little brothers who reported the news to follow and explain.
On the way, Lei Hu figured out the reason for the incident.
It turned out that not long ago, the sailors of a French steamer who had just docked on the dock did not know what medicine they had taken and ran to the vendors on the dock to eat the overlord meal.
At this moment, there was a contradiction, and the merchants who had been cheated were naturally not happy, and immediately ran out of a dozen companions, angry and surrounded the sailors on the French steamer, demanding that they pay.
This was a fairly normal request, but it turned out to cause the French sailors on the steamer to be furious, and not only did they not pay the money, but they also punched people directly, injuring several angry traders at once.
The dock was in chaos, and the Loyal Cousins, who were maintaining order, hurried over to mediate, but the foreign sailors did not listen to the advice at all, but instead fought the Loyal Cousins.
Brother Zhongyitang is not a vegetarian, although he is afraid of the identity of foreigners, but others have bullied the door, how can they be polite?
As a result, there was a problem when the fight started, and the foreign sailors all had a good fighting level, not at all like ordinary sailors, looking at their arrogant and presumptuous appearance, and the ferocious fighting posture was quite terrifying, more like a group of outlaws.
The little brother of Zhongyitang, who was responsible for maintaining order on the dock, couldn't do just five or six foreign sailors.
This is not the most troublesome thing, the most frustrating thing for the little brother of Zhongyitang on the dock is that the chaos here quickly attracted the attention of the foreign ships, and more than a dozen sailors ran over to support, and the people and horses of Zhongyitang who maintained order at the dock couldn't stand it.
Now that the dock is in chaos, the few people around Lei Hu finally ran out to report for help.
"French?"
Lei Hu paused, raised his eyebrows and asked in a deep voice.
"Exactly!"
The younger brother of Zhongyitang, who reported the news, hurriedly replied; "There's no mistake with the French flag flying on that ship!"
Lei Hu nodded, how can I say that the little brother in front of me has been mixed in the dock for half a year, and it is not a day or two to deal with foreigner ships, although I can't speak foreigners' words, it is still easy to distinguish which country's flag.
"Go, you go to the militia station, and bring the 100 most capable militia brothers to the dock to support, just say that it is on my order!"
Lei Hu's mind turned and he quickly made a decision, pointed to a junior brother of Zhongyi Hall who was following him, and said coldly; "Hurry up, if you delay, you will feel good!"
The younger brother of the chosen Zhongyi Hall said yes again and again, turned around and ran towards the militia station, as if there was a ferocious beast chasing after him, looking quite embarrassed.
"You guys, cheer me up!"
Coldly glanced at the remaining junior brothers, Lei Hu said coldly; "I'll go to the dock with me later, I can't say that I want to have a fight with those foreigners, don't give Lao Tzu a strain!"
As he spoke, without waiting for the younger brothers to show their loyalty, he strode directly towards the dock.
……
By the time Lei Hu arrived at the dock with a few junior brothers of Zhongyitang, it was already a chaotic place, with all kinds of exclamations, screams, and arrogant laughter, and the originally orderly dock had lost control.
Ignoring the panicked people on the road, his eyes suddenly focused on the twenty or so foreigners who were laughing wildly at the vegetable specialty on the dock.
These foreigners are tall and strong, and the breath on their bodies is wild and ferocious, and they are not good at first glance.
At this time, these guys gathered around a fruit stall, holding a few large pieces of ordinary fruits in Chancheng in their hands, and the fruit stall owner and the surrounding vendors had already disappeared, allowing these foreigners to mess with the fruits and other goods on the stall.
Around them, at their feet, lay a wounded man who was wailing and screaming.
Lei Hu's eyes are sharp, and among the wounded lying on the ground, most of them are loyal and righteous cousins, and this is worth it!
"Come on, go up with Lao Tzu and overthrow these foreign devils!"
His eyes narrowed to reveal a dangerous light, he did not hesitate at all and strode over, with a cold smile on his face, and a deafening roar came out of his mouth: "Where did you come from, you dare to go wild on the dock, you are really impatient, Lao Tzu will let you foreign devils know today!" ”
As soon as the words fell, the tall and muscular figure shot out like a sharp arrow......
