Compared with the guards of the Jiedu Mansion who were eyeing him around, Yang Hongwen, as the leader, seemed to be more kind, although he said with a questioning tone, it was just a businesslike posture, and he did not deliberately make things difficult, which also made the tense nerves of Saidgaard and others behind Ding Li slightly relaxed, and his face was not as nervous and panicked as just now.

"This general, a few of us are just ordinary people who do some rough work at the docks, and we are definitely good people, and we dare not have the slightest lie!" Ding Li has naturally encountered a lot of big scenes, not to mention that Yang Hongwen in front of him looks the same age as his own people, and there is no official frame, Ding Li's on-the-spot performance is very smooth, with a slight hint of trepidation in his composure, and the answer is also the same, and he also stretched out his hand and pointed to the direction of the dock in the distance behind him, and added with a puzzled face: "General, on the way back just now, we seemed to hear a lot of noise on the pier, and the lights were bright, as if a sea ship had docked overnight. However, a few of us wanted to go home early after a day's work, so we didn't pay much attention! General, you also understand that we are just doing rough work, and there are some things that are still inconvenient to inquire about. More is better than less! ”

Hearing this, Yang Hongwen didn't hear any flaws in the answer, but intuitively felt that Ding Li didn't look like a simple character, after all, these words were extremely fluent, but looking at the dress of Ding Li and others, it was indeed the ordinary attire of the dock coolies, plus the Confucianism and Taoism that Yang Hongwen respected, he was not a violent person who was infinitely magnified by trivial things, but he just looked at Ding Li again and again, pondered for a moment, and nodded to agree with the other party's words.

More importantly, the purpose of Yang Hongwen's trip is not martial law, let alone spending more effort on Ding Li and others, he bears more important responsibilities, and even relates to the future and fate of their Yang family, the Li family and the Zhang family.

"Okay, there's nothing to do with you, go back quickly, martial law is on, don't stay for no reason, lest you be misunderstood by the night guards!" Yang Hongwen looked at everyone again, waved the torch in his hand lightly, and then was stunned, looked at Saidgade and the others with some sudden realization, nodded and added: "It turns out that there are friends from Fanbang, a few of you are careful all the way!" ”

As he spoke, Yang Hongwen on horseback actually arched his hand slightly at everyone, pulled the reins with a kind face to make way of position, and the guards who were divided into two wings behind him also hurriedly turned their horses away to make way for Ding Li and others.

"Thank you, General, be careful all the way, hard work!" Ding Li, Sai Yigade and others were also not rude, and they bowed their hands to Yang Hongwen and the guards, said goodbye very respectfully, and left quickly.

"Let's go, go to the docks!" Yang Hongwen didn't pay much attention to the encounter just now, but straightened the horse's head, waved his hand at the soldiers, took the lead in kicking the saddle, and rushed out.

Hearing the sound of horses' hooves behind them gradually disappearing, Saidgard and the others finally breathed a long sigh of relief, raised their hands to stroke their chests, and gasped for breath, but their faces showed incomparable excitement, as if what had just happened to them had enough stimulation to shock their nerves.

"Brother Li, you can really do it, you will bluff that Captain Yang with a few words!" After calming down, Saidgade didn't forget to make up for the horse, and came to Ding Li's side to praise with a smile, but after seeing Ding Li's indifferent expression, Saidgaard pulled Ding Li with some dissatisfaction, and continued to speak with a slightly surprised face: "Brother Li, don't say that you don't know who Yang Hongwen is just now!" I've lived so much in my life, I didn't expect to be able to say a word to each other, and he just said that we were friends! ”

"Look at you! People are just polite, isn't it just a captain on duty, he looks young, if you say that again, presumably that guy's background will not be bad, either rich or expensive! Ding Li pursed his lips indifferently, there are too many rich second generations, official second generations and red second generations that he has seen before, it is not surprising at all, but Ding Li is still a little interested in Yang Hongwen in his heart, after all, the second generation of children with a deep background but can be so humble and polite, Ding Li has really never seen it.

"Hey! Brother Li! No way? You don't know Yang Hongwen? Sai Yigade was really taken aback at this time, originally he just thought that Ding Li didn't want to talk about this, but now he was sure that Ding Li really didn't know Yang Hongwen, and immediately stood up and pulled Ding Li, his eyes were shocked, but he introduced it word by word: "Yang Hongwen, the word respectful, is definitely the number one among the noble children of Guangzhou Mansion!" His father is the secretary in charge of the account of the Jiedu Envoy, and he is a close confidant, and the two families are still world friends! By the way, there is also the owner of the Zhang Chamber of Commerce, the relationship between the three is ironclad in our Guangzhou Mansion, otherwise, the Cao Chamber of Commerce supported by the city envoy and the observation envoy would have already annexed the Zhang Chamber of Commerce, how can it be the turn of the Zhang Chamber of Commerce to make a windfall in the two ports now! ”

"But then again, in comparison, the Zhang Chamber of Commerce is more authentic, and the Cao Chamber of Commerce doesn't treat us coolies as human beings at all, and fights on the chassis occur every day, and even deducting wages is a common thing! It's still the head of the Zhang Chamber of Commerce, and no one dares to make trouble under normal circumstances! It's also a pleasure to work with, at least on the surface! Saying that, Saidgard's eyes were a little gloomy, but deep in his eyes revealed a strong yearning for wealth and power, just a trace of bitterness at the corner of his mouth, exposing the cruel status quo.

"Oh, I see! I really didn't know it before! Ding Li responded lightly, looked at Saidgard who was infinitely emotional, scratched his head in embarrassment, sneered, raised his head forward, yawned and urged: "You can tell me these things when you are free in the future, I am really sleepy, hurry up and go home to rest!" ”

Although it has entered the ugly time, the gate of Fanfang District has not been closed, and there are still scattered crowds of people gathered at the night stalls on the side of the road to eat meat and drink, and there is no shortage of chatting with each other about some meat jokes, and bursts of unbridled laughter erupt from time to time.

Even a small green building not far after entering the workshop, exotic women are either next to the door, or leaning on the fence on the second floor, looking greedily at the pedestrians walking in front of their homes.

Outside the store, under the light of the flaming red lantern, an old bustard in a red shirt but over 50 years old was sipping melon seeds and laughing with two drunken and hazy yellow-haired Persian men to discuss some big business, and from time to time he would reach out and rub a handful of oil on the strong breasts of the two men, and then let out a harsh but seductive laughter, attracting the attention of all the passers-by.

This kind of naked courting scene, Ding Li actually encountered it for the first time, and he felt a little red when he landed, and he couldn't help lowering his face slightly, and his steps were also sped up, as if he wanted to escape as soon as possible.

But the heavens did not fulfill people's wishes, but the two dusty women who were located in the corridor on the street outside the Qinglou had already stared at Ding Li with sharp eyes, and had already begun to whisper in their ears, a pair of eyes that were enough to perceive the details seemed to have seen the strong chest and solid muscles through the thin coat on Ding Li's body, and from time to time covered their mouths with the champa in their hands and let out a crisp and pleasant laughter like a bell.

What's more, Saidgard's attention has been completely attracted to the past, and even his friends who are traveling with him will continue to cast their greedy eyes shining with countless red hearts to the dust woman next to him, looking at the carcass that is slightly covered by the almost transparent tulle, one by one's eyes have quickly turned scarlet, and the young and restless heart has begun to move.

"Yo! It's little Ruth! The old bustard really watched and listened to all directions, and refused to leave behind any possible business, his eyes swept over Ding Li and the others, his eyes immediately lit up, and he waved his handkerchief at Saidgad again and again, and at the same time stretched out his hand and gently pushed on the chest of the two Persian men in front of him, and walked quickly towards Saidgard, and his face with a thick foundation was piled up with a wrinkled smile, like a folded terrain that could only be formed for countless years, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he said in a professional tone: "Little Rus, I haven't come to play for a while!" The girls in the family are looking forward to you! ”

As he spoke, the old bustard slapped twice in front of the smiling Saidgard face with a champana, and with a charming smile, he swept over Ding Li and the others in a blink of an eye, and his eyes immediately flashed, and he turned sideways to give way, and shouted softly to several girls at the door behind him: "Girls! Your long-awaited little Rushi is here, and there are a few distinguished guests! Come and entertain! ”

"This, this, no, this..." Seeing this, Saidgaard was immediately a little at a loss, and in his heart he didn't want to refuse the bustard's hospitality, but he knew that Ding Li still had Liu Sheng at home, and he had just moved to a new residence today, so he really couldn't invite Ding Li. But to say that he had to stop in the face of many beauties close to him, even he felt a little too ruthless, and between stammering, he turned his embarrassed gaze to Ding Li, scratched his head with an embarrassed face, and couldn't hold back a complete sentence for a long time: "Force, Brother Li, you, you look, this should be... ”

"You guys play! I have to go home! Ding Li's expression was also a little unnatural, but seeing the expressions of the rest of the people, he couldn't wait, and he didn't want to sweep everyone's interest, so he had to shrug his shoulders and smile lightly, then reached out and touched his chest and waist, slapped his head, looked at Saiyigaard and the others with an embarrassed face, and explained with a smile: "My money is rented today, and the rest is left at home!" Next time, next time I'll invite a few brothers! Definitely, definitely! ”

"No, Brother Li, that's not what we meant!" Hearing this, Saiyigade and others, who had long regarded Ding Li as their idol in their hearts, waved their hands again and again, and at the same time grabbed Ding Li, who was about to escape, Saiyigade looked at the girls waiting behind him in embarrassment, and explained in a low voice: "Brother Li, you seem to be here, why don't you go in together, it won't be delayed for too long anyway!" Besides, let's go home now, isn't my sister-in-law already asleep, and I have to wake up my sister-in-law when I go back. ”

"No, no, really no!" Hearing this, Ding Li immediately withdrew his arm in panic and took two steps back, as if the Saiyigard and others in front of him were going to pull him to jump into the sea, and waved his hand again and again to refuse: "Your sister-in-law said that she would wait for me to have dinner, besides, if I don't go back, she will definitely not be able to sleep, and she will not feel at ease if she falls asleep, or you play, I will go back first!" ”

After that, Ding Li didn't wait for Saidgaard and the others to step forward to save him again, hurriedly pulled back, thanked everyone again and again, and turned around to leave.

"Smack!"

A crisp loud bang broke the warm laughter of the lights, and then I saw a poorly clothed woman stumbling on the outer corridor of the second floor with her side face covered, under the dim firelight, the half-exposed pretty side face, the corners of the mouth flowed bright red blood, and a pair of clear eyes were full of crystal tears.
