The wharf, the Fukou Cao Gang, is crowded.

Under normal circumstances, people who carry goods at the dock at night cannot say that there are none, but only that there are not many.

What's more, it's the end of the day, the night air is obscure, the yin air is rising, even on the dock, there are many taboos at this time.

But today is different.

A large ship is moored outside the dock, unloading its cargo down.

Strangely, there were no lights on the entire ship.

The whole ship was shrouded in darkness. Tonight's Mao Moon did not illuminate the ship, and those who approached the ship only felt a sense of gloom.

Aboard.

It was pitch black.

Almost all coolies have night blindness, and they can't see anything in the night.

But even so, the ship was not lit.

In the words of the Cao Gang, even if you touch Lao Tzu, you have to touch the boat, and when you get to the boat, someone will naturally ask you to bring the goods.

On the contrary, on the pier, the lights are bright, and countless torches illuminate the entire pier.

Caoyun thugs and a few small bags built a shed, and there was a strong smell of Chinese medicine coming from it.

They were boiling tea soup.

If anyone can't hold it today.

Whoever comes over and drinks a bowl of tea soup here.

Don't want money.

The people who are unloading here today are all old laborers.

Young, newcomers, and those who don't have heels, don't do anything.

What's more, among these people, twenty-nine, forty-nine don't.

If you don't belong to a chicken or a dog, don't.

Everyone who moves things should also look at the eight characters in advance, and if the eight characters do not match, don't.

There are so many requests, which shows the extraordinary nature of the matter.

The overseer is also a member of the Cao Gang.

There are a lot of people who come to oversee the work today.

There were also people with straps on their heads and weapons in their hands.

Although they were wearing the clothes of the Cao Gang, the Cao Gang thugs had never seen these people, and they exuded a disgusting stench.

It's not that there is no sour smell of bathing, it's a different smell.

The fishy smell of dead fish.

It's like a fish that has been dead for many days, and the smell of exposure to the dock makes people smell sick. That kind of smell made the brothers who were also Cao Gang around them unbearable and deliberately stayed away.

They watched in silence as they worked.

And not much to say.

It wasn't until the fire in the city and the eyes of the fire came that those people who begged for a living on the dock had time to be stunned and at a loss.

They stared numbly at the fire.

It took a long time for the sluggish brain caused by hunger and exhaustion to react.

How can there be eyes in the fire?

They all saw the fire in the city, and that eye was obviously not looking at them, and they also felt a chill!

This is a manifestation of a ghost or god.

There are even more faint-hearted ones, kneeling on the ground, constantly prostrating, and spitting out the names of various gods and goddesses in their mouths, praying for protection.

What frightened them even more was that the wooden boxes they had been moving all night were also restless at this time, and they let out strange tremors.

Even from the top of the big ship, there was an ominous stench.

What's more, blood flowed out of some wooden boxes, flowing all over the ground.

Under the light of the torches, there was even a black reflection.

Extremely eerie.

"Get out of the way, don't get this blood on you!"

It was only at this time that those Cao Gang characters, who looked like clay sculptures and wood sculptures, suddenly came to life and shouted loudly.

If somebody were around, you could see that they came to life, first from the eyes, the eyeballs, then the nostrils, the nostrils opened and closed, and they began to breathe, and then the pores, and the muscles, as if there was a process, and the process was the same.

Seeing the blood filling, they cried out and were extremely nervous.

There were even people who threw out a few edge dock laborers, but the blood was so fast that these people couldn't save a few people.

Four or five people were arrested.

The Cao Gang thugs who supervised the work on one side, and a few big bags saw the blood flowing out, although they didn't know what it was, but when they saw those Cao Gang people shouting anxiously, they also shouted loudly, telling the rest of the workers to dodge.

Those laborers were terrified.

Who knew that this blood was stained on the coolies.

They're fine.

Just when everyone was about to panic, the stinking thugs glanced at each other.

"Okay, if you don't dodge, you don't dodge."

The Cao Gang thugs and big and small bags who supervised the work next to them all looked at the stinking thugs, and they didn't know why they suddenly changed their tune.

The thugs waved their hands and said, "Keep going." ”

One of the thugs said to the small bag next to him: "Urge, the deadline is tight and the task is heavy, this batch of goods will not see the light, tell everyone to hurry up, when it is done, the remuneration will be increased by fifty percent, and you will do the same." ”

Hearing the increase in money, Xiao Bao resisted the feeling of nausea, picked up the whip in his hand, and volleyed a whip flower, and shouted with a crisp sound: "Get up, you guys, all get up and work, work, if you can't finish this work before dawn, you will be thrown into the sea to feed the fish." ”

He shouted loudly.

A few thugs slowly ducked to the side and hid in the darkness.

"What should I do, it should be stained with blood, and I can't keep it."

"Kill them all."

"You may not be able to kill them all, you can't use firearms, and it is a troublesome thing to be heard by others when you use firearms."

"With heavy crossbows, I remember that the Cao Gang had a batch of heavy crossbows, and when they were giving money, they would gather together, shoot them to death with random arrows, and then mend the knives one by one."

"What about the corpse?"

"When it was clean, I went to the altar to get a clean fire, and it burned a fire."

"Okay."

"What about the Cao gang and the big and small bags on the side?"

"All of them are killed, the bodies are hidden, and a gang fight is arranged in a few days, and the corpses are thrown on the field, saying that they have been hacked to death."

"Okay."

It is not known who is speaking, but they quickly come to an agreement.

There's definitely something wrong with this blood.

People who are stained with blood today.

Someone who saw this scene.

All are going to die.

Those people were discussing in secret, and as for these people in front of them, these normal gang thugs in front of them could only scold in their hearts for the whole family to relieve their anger.

With such a strong fishy smell, isn't it a fisherman?

These dogs are fishing veterans, not only have a lot to do with the Cao Gangzi.

It's the same with some big commercial houses.

They can't afford to provoke them.

The fire in the city was still there, and on the dock, the coolies stepped on the pool of blood, making a sticky sound of "let's chirp" and "chirp", and started working again.

I don't know if it's because of the fright or the rest, though.

As a few coolies were carrying an item down the gangplank, they suddenly felt the weight of the wooden box.

Can't lift it up at all.

The wooden plank slammed into the ground, and before anyone could scold it, the big guy saw that under the light of the torches and the dead wind lamp, the wooden box was broken.

A Buddha head rolled out of it, quietly appearing under everyone's noses.

This Buddha head is a relatively standard Tang Dynasty system, but it is not this that makes people's scalps tingle.

It was this Buddha head, whose eyes shone brightly under the light of the torches.

It seemed to be looking at these people present.

It's like looking at your prey.

Wait for predators.

……

Glanced at the big eyes.

Lin Feng didn't burn the zombie skin.

That eye was extraordinary, Lin Feng covered his aura and quickly ran towards Boss Feng's territory.

The Cao Gang has a large territory.

Lin Feng also "asked" several Cao Gang people before he knew where Feng Lao's land was.

It's quite a lot.

Even if the Qing Dynasty emperor's strategy of shipping has passed for so many years, there is still a good saying, this Cao Yun is related to the food and clothing of millions of workers, even if it is the emperor, it is difficult to resist so many mouths up and down.

Even if it is to be banned, it is counted in years.

Over the years, Caoyun has indeed been worse than a year.

But even so, the Cao Gang is still a behemoth.

Where there is Cao Yun, there are up and down who live by Cao Yun.

There are these people who rely on Cao Yun to eat, and there are Cao Gang.

In some places, even if it is the government, it has to give the Cao Gang some face.

Not to mention a heavy place like Fukou, when the government encounters something, it has to greet the Cao Gang.

It's just that because of the decline of Cao Yun over the years, the Cao Gang has also had an undercurrent.

Although the old man of the Li family said it well, saying that he only touches business, not officials, but in Fukou, the Li family and Caoyun are also inseparably linked.

Among the Cao Gang, there are also their own members of the Li family.

Seeing the fire, especially the fire that evolved in the fire, not to mention the Cao Gang, even the Fukou government was frightened.

"What's going on?"

They didn't know why, the Li family's mansion in Fukou was on fire, and the surrounding neighbors did not dare to save it.

They were shocked to see the charred corpses in the burning mansion, coming out of the mansion and heading in all directions towards the city.

At this time, many people were really scared.

One look, scared to death.

The faces of the people who were scared to death were all blue, but no one cared about the dead people whose faces were scared blue.

Those charred black corpses do not hide from people.

It's as if all the mages in the city are dead.

However, the strange thing is that whether it is the Taoist temple or the Buddhist temple in Fukou, they all choose to avoid the edge for the time being.

I don't know why.

……

dock

This side of Fukou.

Lin Feng came to Boss Feng's territory.

He was sure that Boss Feng was on his territory, and he didn't dare to move an inch.

Because this is what Old Man Li told Lin Feng, he said, Boss Feng, this dog, has been chained to death by him on the dock in the past few days, you can see it directly.

Boss Feng, even if he died, he would die there, and he would never dare to go anywhere.

Lin Feng was convinced of the old man's words, such a ruthless person was indeed unable to deal with ghosts and gods, but he still had a handle on a small leader of the Cao Gang.

However, what was a little strange about Lin Feng was that in the place where Boss Feng lived, from a distance, Lin Feng smelled a smell of stinky salted fish, and this smell kept spreading outside.

Prolonged.

At the same time, Lin Feng also saw the incense coming out of the courtyard in the distance, this kind of incense is similar to the big temple where the incense is very strong, the white and green smoke seen during the day, the smoke like wolf smoke, straight to the bullfight!
