096 A war is inevitable
Wang Jinlong let others say it first, Hong Qigong didn't say anything at this time, and the beggar disciple could only grit his teeth and endure it, and immediately began to think about how to turn defeat into victory.
Ma Yunsong doesn't have so many ideas, in front of Wang Jinlong, he has always said one thing and never adulterated.
After listening to Ma Yunsong's narration, Wang Jinlong had a general understanding of the situation. Because Wang Jinlong had too many merchant ships, a large number of goods were loaded and unloaded at the port every day, so a large number of Liba who specialized in carrying goods for a living were gathered. These people have no other survival skills, and they only live on a single effort, which can be said to be very poor.
They were already pitiful, but there were still people who put their ideas on them, and pulled some more out of their already meagre income. These people have no other ability, they have formed a small gang in a group, and they don't dare to offend any real Jianghu sect, not even ordinary rich people, so they only dare to bully the poor and squeeze their bone marrow for their own pleasure.
There is a rule of survival on the wharf, as a businessman, Ma Yunsong used to just load and unload the goods, and didn't care about anything else. But what happened half a month ago really made him unbearable. A Liba was beaten to death by a small gang because he stole a few pennies and underpaid the protection fee. That's not all, the little gang also forcibly took this Liba's only daughter away and sold it in the kiln.
This aroused the anger of the public, and the usually honest Liba quarreled with the small gang on the dock. Their noisy operation delayed the loading and unloading of goods, and Ma Yunsong had to intervene.
After hearing what happened, Ma Yunsong didn't want to intervene at first, after all, there are many tragic things in this world, and he has seen many worse things than this Liba family, and this thing can't touch him anymore. It's just that the loading and unloading of goods cannot be delayed, and the two sides must quickly settle the dispute and start working.
Although Ma Yunsong is an employer, he is an outsider after all, and he has never shown martial arts, so of course he can't deter these people. Under the excitement of both sides, no one listened to him, but they still fought. Once they make a move, the Liba people will suffer a big loss. Even if they have a lot of strength, they don't know martial arts. Although the members of the small gang are all three-legged cats, they are much stronger than ordinary people, so the Liba people were beaten badly.
Perhaps in order to deter this gang of Liba, the small gang was ruthless this time, breaking several Liba's hands and feet, and killing the one who took the lead on the spot. This made Ma Yunsong unbearable, the loading and unloading of goods at the dock relied on this gang of Liba, who would work if they were all disabled? Do you rely on those lazy gang members? So he opened his mouth to intercede. Who knew that the leader of the small gang became rampant under the big victory, not only did he not give face, but also slapped him.
Ma Yunsong can be amiable with people of any status, but it does not mean that he can be bullied. A little ruffian actually dared to slap him, if he endured it, he wouldn't be laughed at when he saw the old brothers of the pro-soldier team in the future? So in a fit of rage, he broke the limbs of the leader of this small gang.
A group of rampant little ruffians who only dared to run rampant against Liba, who sold coolies on the dock, suddenly saw the real martial arts masters, and they were immediately frightened and surrendered without saying a word. compensated the bereavement money of Liba who was beaten to death, released his daughter, and gave generous compensation to the other beaten Liba.
Originally, the matter should have ended here, but this small gang also has a boss at the head, because of the compensation for Liba, the small gang has no money in their hands to honor the boss. The younger brother has less filial piety, and the boss quits, so he sends someone to question, of course the little gang will not hide it for Ma Yunsong, so he will push him out to block the arrow.
The boss of the small gang is also a local gang, and the gang leader's surname is Peng, and he is considered a third-rate skill in front of him. This guy acted quite domineeringly, and after hearing about it, he brought people to smash and hurt people without saying a word. Ma Yunsong didn't understand what was going on, so he had to fight back with his men.
With Ma Yunsong's martial arts, where the local small gangs are opponents, they were immediately beaten. Because he was annoyed that the surnamed Peng came to pick a wildfire for no reason, he also hit a heavy hand, and directly cut off two hands. Cutting it down is not the same as breaking it, breaking the bone can still grow well, but if you cut it, you can't take it back.
The reason why the surnamed Peng is rampant is that he is rampant. What is Lin'an? To be able to establish himself here, even if it is just a small local gang, is not something that he can do as a third-rate person. Not only has he stood on his feet, but he can still be so rampant because he has a backer behind him. He suffered such a big loss this time, of course, he had to ask the backer to come forward, so the helmsman of the beggar gang in Lin'an came with more than 30 disciples of the beggar gang.
As soon as Ma Yunsong heard that the other party was a beggar, he was also very cautious, and first reasoned with the other party. But he cut off two hands surnamed Peng, how can it make sense by reasoning alone? In the end, you have to fight hands-on.
Although the beggar gang is the largest gang in the world, their stalls are also too large, and every city has its rudder in the north and south of the Yangtze River, up and down the big river. Even though Lin'an is one of the most important cities today, the helmsman in charge of it is not a big master, at most he is second-rate. Ma Yunsong personally fought with him, used more than 50 moves, and finally won one move.
The beggar gang saw that Ma Yunsong couldn't fight alone, not only did he not retreat, but he did not relentlessly use the trick of the beggar gang to press the bottom of the box, and beat the dogs! Although the thirty or so beggar gang disciples are not many, it is not a problem to deal with seventy or eighty Jianghu people. It's a pity that they met Wang Jinlong's men. Since Ma Yunsong was born in the pro-guard army, he also used military law when managing his subordinates. Seeing that the beggars were in formation, they had to use the military formation to deal with it.
If it is subtle, the beggar gang's dog-fighting array can be regarded as the top level of the rivers and lakes, which is enough to keep pace with the Tiangang Beidou Array of the Quanzhen Sect and the Arhat Array of Shaolin Temple. But in terms of fierceness, the formation of the Jianghu people cannot be compared with the military formation in any case. Ma Yunsong led his subordinates, but simply lined up a sharp formation, and then rushed over regardless of it, so that the beggar disciples couldn't cope with it.
Ma Yunsong, the leader, has higher martial arts than the other party, plus there are more than 50 men and sailors under his command, and then form a military formation, and a few back and forth will break up the beggar gang's dog-fighting formation. Although it also paid the price of more than 20 people being injured and falling to the ground, a victory is a victory, and the face of the beggars was swept away. Therefore, even if Ma Yunsong was not ruthless, the beggar gang still felt that they had suffered a big loss and had to take revenge. It happened that Hong Qigong appeared nearby, and after knowing this, he couldn't ignore it, otherwise it would really cause a big war between the two gangs, so he stayed in Jiaxing and waited patiently for Wang Jinlong to arrive.
After listening to Ma Yunsong's narration, Wang Jinlong asked again: "Have you reported this matter?" Why didn't I know? ”
Ma Yunsong replied: "How dare my subordinates not report such a big thing?" The reply arrived ten days ago, just ......"
Speaking of this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Three warships have been dispatched from above, and each ship has two hundred sword and shield fighters who jump to the gang. ”
Wang Jinlong couldn't help but shake his head when he heard this, six hundred sword and shield hands, is this the rhythm of making things bigger? It's just a matter of dealing with the natives of the South Seas, and it's the same for dealing with the beggars, what's the difference between looking for death? Lu Chengfeng will definitely not make such a mistake, it seems that it is the handiwork of Shangguan Xiang. This guy doesn't understand the things on the rivers and lakes at all, and it seems that he still has to go through the experience. Fortunately, Ma Yunsong is a person who knows the severity, so he didn't make a big deal out of it.
After Ma Yunsong finished speaking, Wang Jinlong turned around and asked the guy from the beggar gang, "Do you have anything else to add?" ”
The beggar disciple said, "Of course there is! This surnamed Ma is a complete nonsense. The Liba who was killed was not the hand of the gang at all, but them! Just because he accidentally broke a box while carrying it, he was beaten to death by them! That's not all, they took that Liba's sister and wanted to sell her to the kiln, saying that it was to compensate them for their losses. When Peng Xian's nephew heard about it, he was cut off by them, and Master Jiang came forward in person, but he was still defeated by them. The helper, the subordinates and other incompetent, are not their opponents, and they have to ask your old man to take action personally. ”
The two sides insisted on their own words, but Ma Yunsong did not rush to defend, but just looked at it with a sneer. Wang Jinlong was also noncommittal, but just asked, "Senior Hong, who do you think I should believe?" ”
Hong Qigong pondered for a long time before he sighed leisurely: "No matter who is right and wrong, since there is already a conflict between the two sides, there must be an end." In this way, the people of the rivers and lakes will use the methods of the people of the rivers and lakes to solve disputes, you and I will learn a few tricks, no matter who wins and who loses, this matter is over, what do you think? ”
Wang Jinlong understood what he meant, Hong Qigong deserved to be an old Jianghu, and it seemed that he had understood the whole story. Whether he saw it from the eyes and demeanors of both sides, or there were other channels, in short, he knew that the beggar gang was at a loss, so he said that he would have to do it, and said that no matter who won or lost, the matter was over. If it was really a beggar gang to take charge, and Hong Qigong won the competition again, could it be ended so easily? Hong Qigong is a hero, not a bad person.
Hong Qigong also has a meaning, that is, let Wang Jinlong stop digging into it, and all disputes will end here. The so-called family ugliness should not be publicized, the beggar gang has a scum, and the beggar gang has quietly dealt with it internally. If Wang Jinlong refuses, he has to publicize the matter, although the face of the beggar gang is not good-looking, Wang Jinlong also formed the enemy of the beggar gang.
Of course, Wang Jinlong was very serious, and said with a faint smile: "Okay, I have heard for a long time that the beggars have helped to descend the dragon with the eighteen palms and the name of the dog-beating stick method, and today I am about to learn it!" ”
The two got up and went downstairs, Wang Jinlong directly took the iron gun in his hand, and said: "Senior Hong, I'm not good at fists and feet, so I can only use weapons to ask for advice." ”
Hong Qigong also took out a dog beating stick and said, "You're welcome, the skill has reached the point of you and me, it doesn't matter if you have weapons or not." ”
Wang Jinlong shook his head and said: "I don't have the realm of my predecessors, whether I have weapons or not, the difference is still very big." Senior Hong, juniors are rude, look at the gun! ”
