With me, you are not allowed to smash the ship! ”

Niu Changgeng stretched out his arm and blocked in front of the yacha, there is a big picture that if you take another step forward, I will fight with you.

The brothers around him, their blood surging, picked up bamboo poles and sticks in their hands, and shouted loudly to cheer for him.

The officials were in a dilemma for a while, and they were afraid to move forward.

"Ouch, Chang Geng, what is this doing!"

When the dock steward heard about the matter, he hurriedly ran over, he saw that these rough men at the dock dared to fight with the government, he was so anxious that he sweated down, he slapped Chang Geng's head, and continued to scold:

"Don't want your life?"

Seeing the situation, Luo Shi also ran up, she blocked her face and tried not to let Huo Bald see it, only behind Chang Gengde, pulled the corner of his clothes, and whispered:

"Don't be reckless, it's cool now, you lose your job one by one, what about you supporting their wives and children?"

Niu Changgeng pursed his lips and blackened his face and did not speak.

"Brother Niu, what are you afraid of, you don't have a master here, you have a place to stay here! Let's overturn a prefect today, and it's worth it to squat in a prison cell! ”

"That's right, that's it, how can there be such a bully, smash the boat, who will compensate the Cao Gang, it's not us who suffers!"

"You can't tell him to smash the boat, fight!"

……

The dock steward was so angry that his face turned dark, he snatched the long pole in Niu Changgeng's hand, stood on a higher place and shouted loudly:

"Don't worry about the white-faced hero, think about the mother-in-law and child of the old kang head, which one will give you wages to make ends meet! Yes! If you don't listen to the old man, you will smash the ship! ”

"your grandma's legs!"

Someone threw a stone at the dock steward, and immediately smashed him into his brain, they didn't dare to make fun of the prefect, but this little steward also dared to stand up? On weekdays, he is bullied, but today he doesn't take Liba as a person, and he doesn't smash anyone.

The brawl broke out, and the Liba people shouted and shouted to the government officials, waving their old fists and fighting with people.

There is no order, the yacha can only take the scabbard and Liba to resist, these people are used to pampering on weekdays, and Liba will suffer when they encounter a hard fist, and many yacha were thrown to the ground and beaten up a lot of fat.

Things are out of control, the Liba people have been bullied a lot on weekdays, and they have been holding back a lot of energy in their hearts, and today they took the opportunity to release it, and they became a mob as soon as they rose.

And the brother who really thought about Niu Changgeng, although he was furious, he still didn't dare to be the first to cause trouble for him.

It's those who are usually quiet, and didn't dare to be the first to come out just now, and now they are starting to take advantage of the chaos to rob!

They are beating people and grabbing food, and they run away after grabbing them, anyway, they take the lead with Niu Changgeng and the top bag, and they act recklessly, and there is nothing to say.

Huo Bald's eyes were cold, he gritted his teeth, waved his hand, and said angrily:

"Counterinsurgency, kill!"

With the order of the government, the officials drew out their big knives one after another and slashed at the Liba man with his bare hands, and for a while, the flesh and blood flew on the dock, screaming again and again.

Luo Shi was protected by Niu Changgeng behind her, facing each other while taking the opportunity to retreat.

"Brother Niu, you have to help the government! Otherwise, you will become the leader of the rebellion, and you will be killed! ”

She desperately pulled Niu Changgeng's sleeve, hissing so hard that her voice was hoarse.

"They won't listen to what I said!"

Niu Changgeng is obviously more anxious than Luo Shi, if he continues to be beaten by them, not to mention that his head is not guaranteed, even if he is a brother who eats with him, it will be difficult to escape the guilt of sitting and being in prison.

"Brother Niu, you have to make a person first, and you can see who everyone is following now?"

Luo Shi looked around, stretched out his hand and tapped at the Mao man who was standing on a high place and constantly playing slogans, asking his brother to rush forward to kill, and said loudly:

"Him! Who is he? ”

Niu Changgeng fixed his eyes and frowned: "Wang Mazi, he is pretending to be righteous on weekdays, what a villain!" This will be vigorous, and push my brother into the fire pit."

"That's right, it's him, you have to find a way to cure him, make an example, stabilize their emotions, and make a show to the government."

"Okay, I'll go, you hide here and be careful!"

Niu Changgeng killed back the brawl crowd and saw one by one.

He would snatch the knife from the officer's hand, and he would also reflexively punch Liba to the ground, and he would roar so loudly that some people listened to him and some people disdained him, so that he could stop many brothers who were close to him.

"Niu Changgeng, you are a lackey of the government, you are the one who didn't smash the boat, and now you are the one who licks people's buttocks, what kind of hero are you"

Wang Mazi stood on a high place, avoiding far away, his body was unscathed, just blindly fanning the atmosphere and instigating the fighting weapon.

Niu Changgeng walked up to him with a knife, grabbed him, and scolded angrily:

"I protect the ship and I resist, all for the sake of our dock brothers, I have a clear conscience!"

Wang Mazi resisted desperately, and scuffled with Niu Changgeng on the spot, shouting loudly:

"Okay, for the sake of our brother, you will go up and cut off the head of the dog officer, you greedy for life and afraid of death!"

Niu Changgeng's face was pale, he smashed Wang Mazi's door with a punch, put a knife on his neck, and roared to the crowd with all his strength:

"Stop, stop!"

Everyone looked up, frightened, and stopped, they took a big step back, and looked around—many of them were already wounded, their arms and faces were covered with blood, and they were convulsed in pain, and they were slumped on the ground.

"Lord Prefect, I will bear this matter alone today, I hope you can let the others go"

Huo Bald was so angry that his nose was crooked, this dock was in a mess now, and he saw from a distance that an official boat was closing its sails and docking the port, and he had the heart to kill Niu Changgeng.

"Catch, arrest, arrest him, quickly, hide for me, don't come out and embarrass me"

The yacha rushed up and took away Niu Changgeng and the Liba around him, and the frenzy of the rest of the people had subsided, and they were afraid that they would run away for fear of being arrested and taken to prison.

……

"Lord Huo, the prefect's position is not hot, and he has started singing again?"

The boat docked, and out of it came a young man with red lips and white teeth, dressed in brocade clothes and jade soap boots, quite a bit of Chinese style.

"Yo, Mr. Tan, you're here."

Huo Bald wiped the sweat from his forehead, and Ma slipped forward to give him a fist salute.

The young Xianggong returned the favor, and said with a light smile: "I can't be a guest in the next door, I don't have a reputation yet, Lord Huo is the prefect, I can't stand this courtesy, please lead the way quickly, you and I will get down to business."

"Yes, yes, this is a clear way for the gentleman, come on—don't lock these rough ribs away!"

"Slow down-Lord Huo, it is not easy to alarm the government and the opposition this time, and it is also for the princess's private affairs, how can you write the text of the criminal code in this fight? It's better to let it go, so as not to cause trouble in the future."

Huo Bald didn't have anything to do, he even claimed yes, waved his hand, and let Niu Changgeng and the others go, but said ruthlessly:

"Get out of the dock, who dares to eat this bowl of rice again, don't blame me for settling accounts after the autumn!"

After that, in order to lead the way for the young minister, the two got into a sedan chair and hurried to the prefect's mansion.

……

The genius began to rain, like a majestic force, washing the blood on the dock, and completely extinguishing the fire in the hearts of Liba.

The boatload of white flour grain was finally scrapped, and the dock steward covered the blood on his head, walked up to Chang Geng, and sighed helplessly:

"Chang Gung, I know you're a good one, but...... There's no room for you here, so let's go! ”

Niu Changgeng knew that this was already the best ending, but he could put life and death on the line, but he couldn't ignore his brothers, so he said:

"Uncle, I'm leaving, can I leave them? Niu Heizi's daughter-in-law is about to give birth next month, he, his wife is sick, and he also wants to marry a daughter-in-law, and he can't eat this mouthful."

"Why should I stay? You can save a life, it can be regarded as God's eyes, that dog official is dedicated to courtesy, and has no time to punish you, if according to his personality of the eyelid, where is the current relaxation, not to go into the cell to peel off the skin? ”

"Uncle, but the brothers all rely on their strength to eat, except for the dock, where else can we go, there is no land at home, but if you can dig food in the soil and eat, who will be Liba?"

Niu Changgeng persevered and sincerely begged to keep these brothers.

The dock steward shook his head, sighed and was silent without speaking, the meaning was already obvious, and there was nothing he could do.

The brothers' eyes were red, and they shouted: "Don't stay, we will go wherever you go, and you won't be able to earn a bite to eat."

"That's right! If you don't stay here, you have a place to stay here, first pay us the wages, we don't have to worry about eating, and then go to find a job, where is the reason why you can't live? ”

When the dock steward heard this, he laughed at his innocence, waved his hand, and said in a lengthened voice:

"What's the fuss? The price of this ship of white noodles will be deducted from the wages you have been pressing for the past few months! I won't ask you to make up for it, let's split the pot and go to their own livelihoods! ”

After that, he patted Niu Changgeng on the shoulder, went against the rain, turned around and walked to the dock warehouse.

As soon as they heard this, no one had the strength to shout, thinking about the progress of their future lives, many people wrinkled their faces and choked their throats, but fortunately, the heavy rain brushed their faces, so that people couldn't distinguish tears.

Luo Shi walked out of hiding, she looked at Niu Changgeng's lonely and helpless back, glanced at the big men again, and sighed:

"It's a blessing to save your life, but as for food...... Let's go, go up to me and talk about it."

*

led people back to the backyard of the shop, borrowed a lot of benches from the teahouse, and counted them, including Niu Changgeng, a total of eight Liba men.

There were a few with knife wounds on their bodies, and she gave them gold sore medicine and patiently bandaged them, and a few of them were beaten to bruise their joints, which was also called safflower oil.

In addition, she stirred hot handkerchiefs, handed them to wipe the rainwater on their bodies, and finally boiled a large pot of ginger soup, telling everyone to drink it one bowl at a time, so as not to cause any cold.

After cleaning up, Luo Xi took a book from the counter, pulled a small stool and sat down, and said:

"You are good friends with Niu Chang Gung, after this incident, they are all lifelong friendships, I am a friend of Chang Gung, then you are also my friends"

She paused, then continued:

"I'm going to form a takeaway errand team, which will be much easier than your usual hard work, but the requirements will be stricter, which of you would like to join?"
