45. Slave trade
Playing with a few silver dollars between his fingers, Gu Chaoyun opened his mouth and blew it, brought it to his ear, listening to the crisp buzz of the silver dollar, he looked at the main owner who finally appeared, and raised his eyebrows, "I don't think you can get a single one." ”
"Arrogance."
"Boy, do you know who you're talking to right now?"
Before the main lord could speak, the subordinates beside him were in a hurry.
Gu Chaoyun said lightly: "I'm not deaf, of course I know who he is, Fourth Master Tan, looking at the entire Shanghai Beach, who doesn't know your name." ”
The first half of his sentence was still addressed to his subordinates, and the second half of his sentence was already looking at the man who got out of the carriage.
Taking off his top hat and shaking off his coat, Tan Si looked at the young man in front of him with interest, pointed to the bag of ocean while lighting a cigarette, and asked with a smile: "You said just now that this money is not yours, whose is it?" ”
Similarly, Gu Chaoyun is also looking at this heroic man who is dominant in Shanghai, dominating the wind and clouds, and spanning both black and white.
He spread his hands, "I just made a deal not long ago. ”
Tan Si let out an "oh", and glanced at Ma Yongzhen intentionally or unintentionally, but soon returned to Gu Chaoyun's body, "What business?" ”
Gu Chaoyun smiled, "How much do you think a life is worth?" ”
Tan Si bit his cigarette, frowned slightly, and his eyes were a lot sharper, but he still answered the question, "If the brothers in the gang are disabled, it is generally twenty yuan, and if I Tan Si is born and dies, fifty yuan." ”
Gu Chaoyun smiled a little and continued to ask, "What if there are thirty-two heroes in the rivers and lakes?" ”
Tan Si understood when he heard this, and he smiled: "That's naturally more." ”
"So......" Gu Chaoyun squinted and smiled: "Those thirty-two lives, are they worth 30,000 oceans?" ”
"Hehe, what a profitable deal." Tan Si looked at Gu Chaoyun deeply and nodded, "After counting it like this, I seem to have earned it." ”
"Damn, is there any mistake, what's the difference between this and Ming robbery?"
Ma Daxiang on the side had already understood what was going on, and his mouth couldn't close in shock. It was the first time he had heard someone say Ming Bao so high-soundingly.
Tan Si didn't care, and flicked the cigarette ash to himself, "There's nothing wrong with robbing, the world is like this, the weak eat the strong, and the fittest survive." It's even more so in Shanghai, if you don't rob others, others will rob you. There is not a single thing that I have today that I did not snatch with my hands. ”
He stared at Gu Chaoyun, still in a tepid tone, "However, not everyone can grab it without any scruples. Those who have strength, that is called ambition, is ambition, the victory or defeat is in their own hands, and the one without strength is wishful thinking, which kind of person do you think you are? ”
Gu Chaoyun put down the silver dollar in his hand and thought about it seriously, "I think there is actually a third kind, whether it is ambition or wishful thinking, I will definitely be the one who will survive to the end." ”
Tan Si didn't speak, but stepped on the cigarette butt, took off his gloves, and walked forward slowly before he smiled: "Everything is not said, it is done, anyone will say it, but not everyone can do it." However, looking at the whole of Shanghai, no one can snatch my things from under my hands, and neither can Yang Shuang, you are the first. ”
As the sonorous words landed on the ground, Tan Si's eyes became more and more fierce, and a compelling momentum was born on his body, "Just because you are the first, if you can survive fifty moves under my hands today, I will turn around and leave, I can't hold on, you can't take the money away, people have to go with me." ”
Gu Chaoyun pursed his lips and said with a smile: "I think I can hold a hundred moves, and it is possible to win you." ”
"Hey, that's all for you anyway, you don't mind counting me as one, right?" Ma Yongzhen, who never said a word, suddenly spoke, and then jumped out of the crowd. "However, I don't have much interest in your bag of money, if you win, take four or five yuan, eat and sleep well."
"It's really unproductive."
Gu Chaoyun scolded with a smile, and suddenly waved his coat with one hand, and the dust under the fan's feet was flying.
Before the hem of his clothes fell, his right leg suddenly jumped out like a swimming dragon, and with a hook of his toes, the bag on his side was immediately lifted by the volley, breaking in the air, and silver dollars were scattered like rain, tumbling and tumbling down, causing the eyes of those laborers to turn red.
"Don't say it's you, everyone present has a share, and today I have the right to treat my surname Gu."
As soon as he said this, the dock was instantly crowded.
But three of them were unmoved.
Looking at the crowded flow of people around him who were scolding and pushing, he suddenly saw Gu Chaoyun rising from the ground, his body was as strong as flying, stepping on his shoulders and stepping on his back, using those laborers as a bridge, running a few steps in a row, his feet suddenly horizontal, and several leg shadows swept out of the air.
Several at the same time.
In the chaotic crowd, there were two people who made a move together, and it was Tan Si and Ma Yongzhen.
Tan Si's fists moved, wrapped in a strong wind, and Gu Chaoyun made several moves in the air, and the two were evenly divided, and no one could gain the upper hand.
As soon as the fast attack passed, Ma Yongzhen had also posted it, don't look at his yellow and thin appearance, but his every move is amazing, and he is simply born with divine power. Coupled with the ruthlessness of his fists and feet, he did not fall behind with one dozen and two.
Gu Chaoyun didn't move his hands, only moved his legs, his legs were strong, and he pulled out thousands of pounds, mostly kicks, coupled with his smart body skills, he saw that Ma and Tan were surrounded by layers of legs that were flying and spreading.
"Wondering why I did that?"
Fists and feet collided, muffled sounds, Gu Chaoyun and Tan Sisi looked at each other, and the smile on their faces disappeared a lot.
"Your thirty-two brothers are worth 30,000 yuan, and how much should the lives of those fifty or so refugees be worth?"
Tan Simo frowned, as if he heard something outside the words, "What do you mean?" ”
Gu Chaoyun snorted coldly, "This is going to ask your group of subordinate brothers, who actually secretly did human trafficking for foreigners." ”
It was only then that he finally stated his purpose.
When he opened his eyes, he could not forget the foul-smelling cabin filled with the corpses of refugees.
"It can't be." Tan Si parried Gu Chaoyun's frantic leg skills, and asked in a deep voice, "Are you talking about those people on the 'Far East'?" Didn't they all die of the plague? ”
"What I have seen with my own eyes and heard with my own ears, can I still be fake?" Gu Chaoyun's leg method attack became more and more fierce, and the whole person seemed to fly into the air, and his legs were like dragons and snakes churning around, "It's true that they were infected with the epidemic, but they were already killed before they died." ”
Tan Si's expression also cooled down, a pair of fists were domineering, powerful and heavy, as steady as Mount Tai, no matter how dense and frantic Gu Chaoyun's legs attacked, he could always take them one by one.
In silence, he said in a dumb voice: "I don't know about this matter, but I will give them an explanation." ”
"Bang!"
The fists and legs met, one of the two was under the previous person, and Gu Chaoyun was on Tan Si's right arm with one foot, as light as a bird and as heavy as nothing.
His eyes drooped and met Tan Si's eyes, "Okay, just because you are Tan Siye, I believe you." ”
Ma Yongzhen, who was on the side, couldn't hear it clearly, and waved his fists and feet at the two of them stupidly, but he suddenly heard behind him, "Ah, go to Nima, don't rob me of my money, second brother help!" ”
It turned out that the three of them had fought this time, and the laborers around them who were robbing money had already begun to fight with each other, from picking up to grabbing, the changes were too fast, and there were scuffles and scrambles all over the ground.
Gu Chaoyun glanced at Tan Si and turned around without saying a word, the people had already pounced on a group of scrambling laborers, the windbreaker turned around, and he didn't see how he moved, and those red-eyed coolies had one more footprint on their faces one after another, and they fell to the ground one after another.
"A bunch of idiots."
