"Dawei, Xiwei, and dumb seven, you help in the newspaper file first, and I'll go over and take a look."

Seeing Li An leave the file, Wu Shihao thought for a while, informed the three of them, and turned to follow Li An.

When the two arrived at the dock one after the other, Li An looked around, except for the workers who came over one after another to prepare for work, he did not see the figure of Sanjiangshui.

"It's still early, let's go to the pergola and wait."

Wu Shihao said that his senior brother was fine, and Li Ang would not be anxious.

Sanjiangshui didn't come, he beckoned Wu Shihao to come to the pergola.

Pulling a stool at random and sitting down, Wu Shihao sat opposite him and said:

"Last night, when I invited my fellow villagers to have supper, I hinted that if I could grab the position of the fat pig guy at Pier No. 6, I would not ask them to pump water after the start of work, as long as they were willing to work hard, they would get as much work as they wanted."

Li An snorted and asked casually, "Then what is their reaction?" ”

Wu Shihao took over:

"Of course! I followed Brother Shui to eat with you. You also know that in the name of Brother Shui, the coolies on the dock have all heard of it. I didn't even need to mention it, my fellow villagers who were going to eat at the dock agreed. ”

What he said was a dance of eyebrows.

To put it bluntly, this is a dark age when corruption is rampant.

It's not just bad guys who are greedy for money, but corruption is rampant in all walks of life.

Even if you go to the hospital to give birth to a child, there is no benefit fee, and you don't even have to think about hot water.

As long as you are willing to give money, whether it is a job, a contract, convenience, rights, or even freedom, you can buy it.

Naturally, the coolies at the bottom of the docks became the objects of exploitation by the associations and foremen.

Therefore, compared to the coolies who work under the hands of other foremen, who have to be pumped by the foremen's society for a hard day's wages of 20% to 50%, Sanjiangshui, a foreman who never exploits, is like an outlier.

Thanks to the name of Sanjiangshui, Wu Shihao only slightly expressed his intention to start construction at the wharf, and those fellow villagers readily agreed.

It wasn't until the wharf started that Li An waited impatiently before he saw Sanjiangshui come to the wharf unhurriedly.

"A'an, Ahao, you have nothing to do, do you have time to sit here?"

When Sanjiangshui walked into the pergola, Li An saw that his face was a little pale at a glance, and couldn't help asking:

"Senior brother, why is your face so bad? Injured? ”

As he spoke, he didn't forget to look up and down the three rivers for a while.

"No, just a few stinky fish and rotten tomatoes, how can your senior brother be injured?"

Sanjiangshui smiled and pulled a stool to sit next to Li An.

Pouting complained:

"It's not Li Zhengtao, who hit the street, he still dragged me to the bar street in Wan Chai in the early hours of the morning, and drank until dawn before rushing to the pier from Wan Chai, and I didn't sleep all night, so I naturally didn't have energy."

"Really just drinking?"

Li An blinked, and his tone was teasing.

As soon as Sanjiangshui sat beside him just now, Li An smelled a strong smell of rouge perfume, and he didn't smell the smell of wine at all.

Sanjiangshui coughed dryly twice, as if choked on saliva, and looked at Li An:

"So what do you think?"

Sanjiangshui is an adult, and it is normal to have fun.

Li An would not be so eyeless to get to the bottom of the matter, and said with a smile:

"Nothing. The senior brother said that he drank all night, so he drank all night. ”

"What do you mean?"

"Senior brothers all say to drink, so I must believe them."

Seeing that Sanjiangshui had an unrelenting posture, Li An hurriedly interrupted and got down to business:

"Senior brother, what happened to Oguchi Ying last night?"

Sanjiangshui glanced at Li An, and after a while, he said:

What can be the matter, it's not that he's going to come out.

Although Dongfuhe is a small community, it has been Oguchi Ying who has been in charge for so many years, and the money he earns is also in his pocket alone, so it is logical that Dongfuhe is his own word.

Now that there are so many people sitting on top of his head, how can he be willing?

The rules of the rivers and lakes, doing it yourself will leave a handle to deceive the teacher and destroy the ancestors. Hei Xinhua just offered to help him settle his boss, he naturally couldn't ask for it, and killing me was Hei Xinhua's condition.

As everyone knows, he is just cannon fodder, otherwise Hei Xinhua would have appeared last night. ”

Li An thought for a while and asked, "What is the senior brother going to do?" ”

"It's not rude to come." Sanjiangshui groaned:

"Didn't Hao say that the fat boughty guy wouldn't let us do business at Pier 6, since Hei Xinhua did it, he didn't have to do the business at Pier 6."

"Leave it to me, Brother Hao and I will take care of them." Li Anzheng said.

Wu Shihao, who had been silent, hurriedly took over:

"There are only a dozen or so fat boys on the dock, and it's no problem to have me and A'an."

Sanjiangshui didn't speak, just looked at Li An.

In his heart, Li An, the little junior brother, is young, and although his kung fu is good, he is not happy to let Sanjiangshui participate in these battles too early.

"Senior brother, you're not worried that I won't be able to handle it, are you?" Ang Lee said deliberately.

Who knew that Sanjiangshui nodded dryly.

Li An coughed lightly and said unashamedly:

"Senior brother, to be honest, as far as the fat guy is concerned, I can settle it alone."

He looked at his brother:

"Why don't we try it?"

Sanjiangshui pondered for a while, got up and said:

"Okay."

The two walked out of the pergola.

Sanjiangshui put on a posture.

"It's been a long time since I've been studying with you, so today is just to see if your kung fu has improved."

Li An smiled: "Bao Zhun surprised my senior brother." ”

"Then I'm going to take a look."

Sanjiangshui stepped forward and slammed an overlord salute towards Li An's chest.

Li An took a posture unhurriedly, and just as his fist was about to smash over, his left hand pressed the fist that Sanjiangshui attacked, and his right hand stretched straight forward, rushing straight to the façade of Sanjiangshui!

"Baguazhang!"

Sanjiangshui was very surprised, and closed his fist and dodged.

Li An was bullied close, and his elbow poked Sanjiangshui's chest. When the elbow of the Sanjiang water frame resisted, his left hand turned into a palm and buckled directly to his neck.

Caught off guard, with only two moves, Sanjiangshui was forced to retreat one after another.

Li An accepted it when he saw it, and stopped at the right time. Said with a smile:

"Senior brother, that's no problem."

Sanjiangshui did not answer Ang Li's question, but circled around him twice.

Incredibly said: "When did you learn Baguazhang?" Also, how did your strength improve so quickly? ”

Li An said perfunctorily: "Oh, I learned two tricks from my senior sister some time ago. ”

"Okay, I'll help you settle it."

Seeing that Sanjiangshui still wanted to continue to ask, Li An dropped such a sentence, pulled Wu Shihao and left.

"You told Applejack to come with you." Sanjiangshui shouted.

"Got it."

When he came to the newspaper file, Wu Shihao leaned over to Ang Lee's side and whispered:

"I'm going to call a few fellow villagers and go to Pier 6 together."

Li An waved his hand: "Don't worry, I'll do it when it's time to finish work." ”

Wu Shihao was puzzled:

"Why?"

Ang Lee pondered:

"Since we want to solve the problem, let's solve the problem together, otherwise, keep him to continue to make trouble for us?"

"You mean Black Heart?" Wu Shihao was taken aback.

Li An glanced at him and quipped, "Don't you dare? ”

"Not really."

Half past five in the afternoon.

Pier 6.

"Next."

The fat boggao sat down at the table and shouted at the coolies who were lining up to receive their wages opposite.

Waiting for the coolie to step forward, Sijiu on the side spoke:

"What's your name? How many are counted? ”

"Li Youcai. Ten of them. The bare-chested coolie put his chips on the table.

"Ten of you, ten of you is eight."

Fat Bo Lao took the calculation, clicked the number, and took a pen to record it in the ledger.

Mouth Whispering:

"Li Youcai, well, give him a piece of six."

The coolie seemed to be accustomed to it, and without saying a word, he took the money and turned to leave.

"Next."

"Wang Shengguang, sixteen is only counted."

The fat bobbin looked at the coolie in black pants in front of him in surprise, and said with a smile:

"New here? It's a lot of strength, not bad. ”

Bow your head to record:

"Wang Shengguang, ten are counted as chips, give him two yuan."

"Brother Bo, is there a mistake, sixteen is only counted as a draw, and you should also give me two yuan, five cents and six." The coolie said unconvinced.

The fat bob guy glanced at him:

"Do you understand the rules, don't know the protection fee, the newcomer naturally has to pay a little more."

Forty-nine threw two coins on the table.

"Get the money and get out of here! No? You won't have to come over tomorrow. ”

"Next."

“.”

Payments are made for completion.

After finishing the ledger, Fat Bo Guy stood up and stretched.

lit a cigarette, bit it in his mouth and greeted Sijiu, who was standing aside:

"Finish work, get three yuan each, what should you do?"

"Thank you, Bogo."

Seven or eight four-nine people laughed and stepped forward, grabbed the money on the table, and left with their shoulders hooked.

Fat Bo Lao paused for a moment.

Dongfuhe Tobacco House was burned down last night, and the newspaper reported that the arrested Liangongle junior brother, and his boss asked the younger brother to remind him to pay attention to Sanjiangshui.

Let the fat wave guy clearly know that the matter is not as rumored on the dock, it is just that Dongfuhe has offended Sanjiangshui.

They seem to be involved.

Because he was worried that Sanjiang Water would come to the dock to make trouble, the fat boy was vigilant for most of the day.

It wasn't until the end of the day, when there was no one on the dock, and there was no movement from the other party, that the fat bob guy relaxed his vigilance slightly.

Feeling uneasy, he just wants to go to Brother Hua now to ask about last night.

"Let's go, go to Hua Gena."

Fat Bo Guy threw down the cigarette butt, puffed out two columns of smoke from his nose, and turned to leave.

Behind him, four ponies followed vigilantly.

The wonton stall next to the entrance and exit of Pier 6.

The hot air wafted out, and Li An picked up the big bowl in front of him and was gobbling it up.

A man dressed as a coolie trotted over, leaned into the ear of Wu Shihao, who was at the same table, muttered a few words, and trotted away.

"A'an, the fat guy is coming soon."

Hearing this, Li An put down the dishes and chopsticks.

"How many people did you bring?"

"Just four ponies." Wu Shihao responded in a low voice.

"It's better if there are fewer people, you go to the front and prepare."

Ang Lee said softly.

Wu Shihao nodded and got up to leave.

"Boss, how much?"

"Two bowls, one dollar."

"Give."

After handing a coin to the boss, Ang Lee did not leave in a hurry, but sat at the table, looking at the entrance of the dock.

Didn't wait long.

Seeing the fat boy walking out of the dock with four expressionless horses, Li An got up and followed behind the other party unhurriedly.

Suddenly, two drivers pulling rickshaws came to them, and when they saw the fat boy and his party, they hurriedly stopped, and said with a smile:

"Boss, do you want to take the car?"

"Don't."

The fat boob gave them a wary look, and then walked on.

"It's almost time to call it a day, count you cheaper, boss." The coachman continued.

A horse boy stepped forward, with a fierce look:

"You're deaf, you said no, let you go far."

"If you don't sit, you don't sit, why are you scolding."

Two coachmen stopped in front of them relentlessly.

Seeing this, Li An, who was following behind, changed three steps and rushed forward.

At this time, no matter how dull he was, the fat boob guy realized that something was wrong.

But before he could speak, Li An, who had a cold face, suddenly appeared in front of him, and his palm slashed down and smashed on his face, directly making him unconscious.

This sudden scene made Ma Tsai, who was about to do it with the coachman, stunned for a moment.

"Bogo!"

At this moment, Li An's waist twisted, and the tip of his elbow was like a blade directly poked into the chest of Ma Tsai on his side.

A clear cracking sound sounded.

In the blink of an eye, two of the five people in the fat boyo group fell.

At the same time, the four Wu Shihao, who were pretending to be diners, directly broke out, carrying wooden sticks and prying directly at the three horses who were entangled by the coachman.

Sticks rained down on the trio.

Soon, the three horses were knocked to the ground.

Li Ang was unrelenting, saw the opportunity, and kicked the three of them in the neck with his right foot one after another, making them lose the ability to resist.

"Leave them in the car and take them away."

"Oh, oh, good."

As if surprised by Ang Lee's neatness, Wu Shihao hurriedly responded.

Several people threw the fat wave guy who fell to the ground in the back seat of the two rickshaws, pulled up the canopy, and left quickly.
