"Now, it's the one sitting on the stool."

Ang Lee looked in the direction of Xiwei's finger.

In the open space of the pier, almost immediately adjacent to their berth, a man in a short shirt was sitting on a long wooden bench. There were four or five horsemen with ruffians on their faces standing around him.

"That guy's name is Ah Quan, and he scolds the coolies under his hands from time to time on the dock, so he calls him saliva in private.

The mixed word, used to be the old Sijiu of Heyitang, after the accident of the big man of the worship door, he lost his territory, and took a dozen or so blue lanterns under his hand to occupy a berth at the dock. ”

And Yitang?

Ang Lee has been at the docks for so long, and he knows a little about these communities.

The prefix and the word "Heyitang" belong to the branch hall of Heliansheng.

There are nearly 30 halls and branches in the entire Hong Kong Island belt and the prefix, which means that harmony is precious.

However, there is no strict gang rule system for these and prefix branches and halls, and there is no distinction between high and low positions.

It clearly belongs to a community, under the banner of harmony. On the surface, there is harmony, but in private, the halls and branches are filthy and there are many disputes.

I have to say it's a bit ironic.

As if sensing Ang Lee's gaze, the man known as Saliva turned his head and glanced at Ang Lee. Li An nodded at him, and the man was obviously stunned for a moment, and didn't say anything, just withdrew his gaze.

Looking at the back of the saliva full, Li An unconsciously turned up the corners of his mouth.

"Is it arranged?"

"I contacted a lot of fellow villagers who worked under him yesterday, and everything was arranged."

Xiwei lowered his voice and replied.

Then he smiled and said, "Brother An, you just wait to watch a good show." ”

"That's up to you."

Ang Lee patted Xiwei's shoulder.

"Shi Jiugong is pretending to be a grouper, and a few offspring children can also pretend to be big brothers, and sooner or later they will hit the street!"

The saliva all withdrew his gaze, and he muttered a curse in his mouth.

He opened his shirt open, wiped the sweat from his forehead with the hem of his shirt, and rested his right foot on the stool.

After pulling a box of cigarettes out of his pocket, he casually glanced at the coolies who were carrying the goods on board and aboard.

"Grinding, no strength to work? Don't you want to be paid anymore?

Why don't you hurry up! ”

Hearing this, the coolies did not speak, but carried the goods silently. However, the pace is a little faster.

Only then did he nod his head in satisfaction, took out a cigarette and lit it in his mouth.

It's close to noon.

"Okay, take a break and hurry up to eat." Arima shouted at the coolies.

"Let's go."

The saliva stood up and beckoned the horse boy next to him to turn around and leave.

"Brother Quan, Brother Quan, wait a minute."

At this moment, a man dressed as a coolie shouted and trotted over.

The saliva turned around, and he only glanced at the man and said impatiently:

"Tell me something quickly, don't waste my time."

"Brother Quan."

The man seemed a little nervous, he wiped the sweat on his forehead with his hand, and said with a smile:

"Brother Quan, that's the case, I still have something to do at home in the afternoon, you see, can you settle my salary in the morning."

Hearing this, the saliva moved his gaze to the man's sweaty face, and said with a smile:

"Want to get paid?"

"Hmm." The man nodded hurriedly.

"Then we'll finish our work in the afternoon."

After waving his hand and snorting coldly, he turned around and walked outside the dock.

The man hurried two steps and ran in front of the saliva full.

"Brother Quan. I've got something to do in the afternoon. ”

The saliva was all over the place, and he looked at the man's tone and said:

"Are you a fool? That's your business, my business.

The rules are told to you, if you want to get paid, then finish the day honestly, or you won't have a penny. If you're like you, and you come to me for a long time to get paid, then how can I bring people to do things in the future? ”

"Just this time, help me, Brother Quan." The man laughed and stopped before he drooled.

"Fuck off!"

Saliva is full of impatience and pushes the man away.

But before he could leave, the man came up again.

In the group of horses that were originally following behind the drooling body, someone stepped forward and kicked the man to the ground unceremoniously.

"You're deaf! Brother Quan told you to get out of the way, didn't you hear? ”

His fingers almost flicked on the man's nose, and his mouth was foul.

"I'll break your leg if I catch up again."

Anyway, he hasn't finished saying this yet. The coolie who was kicked to the ground by him seemed to be a little annoyed, and as soon as he twisted his fingers, the whole person stood up and flew at him, knocking him to the ground by surprise.

"I'll fight with you."

"You're looking for death!"

Ma Tsai looked angry, clenched his fist and was about to smash it into the man's face.

But what he didn't expect was that the coolie force on his body was extremely great, and only one palm pressed his hands like iron tongs, making him unable to break free.

Just as he was about to call for help, the coolie who was pressing on him turned fierce and smashed his fist into the mouth.

Blood splattered!

Ma Tsai couldn't help but snort bitterly.

It happened too suddenly.

Not only was it full of saliva, but even a few horses beside him didn't react.

None of them thought that the coolies who used to be submissive would suddenly erupt and dare to do it?

Hearing the cry of pain, the saliva came back to his senses, and looking at the little brother who was beaten under the coolie, his face suddenly darkened.

hurriedly scolded the horse boy beside him:

"Still not doing it?"

"Oh, oh."

Six or seven horses rushed forward with a hula and kicked with their feet.

The man just snorted, his hands kept moving, and his fist smashed down on the horse boy under him.

"Phew!"

"You bastards, you won't pull him away first."

Ma Zai, who was pressed under him by the man, snorted in pain again and couldn't help shouting.

"Phew!"

I don't know who kicked Ma Tsai in the face, and his shouting suddenly stopped.

At this time, the coolies who had temporarily finished work and rested had not yet left, and the movement here had already attracted their attention.

Suddenly, someone said loudly:

"It seems that the coolies who were beaten were strong, right? Shall we go over and see? ”

"Forget it, the coolie is from Chaozhou, and their fellow villagers have not come out, what are we going to do to make a fuss?"

The coolies were talking, and many of the people in the crowd looked at each other.

A tall man stepped forward.

When his fellow villagers were beaten, he seemed to be a little unable to suppress his anger.

"Usually even if we deduct our wages, we still have to beat people? Glue yourself people out! ”

Hula stood up for more than a dozen people.

A crowd of people poured saliva over the other side.

The rest of the coolies also moved forward and looked lively.

At the same time, the berth on Ang Lee's side. The coolies did not leave, either, and gathered together to watch the farce that was salivaing all over there.

There were coolies who came to Wang Shengguang.

"Brother Guang, the one who was beaten with saliva seems to be our fellow countryman."

Wang Shengguang seemed stunned for a moment, and then became furious:

"It's all about his mother's saliva, even we Chaozhou people dare to fight, he doesn't want to live."

Looking at the horse boy who was beaten on the ground and almost passed out, he shouted with some anger:

"Don't pull him up yet."

The man who was called a coolie was lifted up by two horses and still did not forget to spit on the ground.

He broke free of the two of them and glared angrily at the saliva.

"Saliva is full, give me the salary!"

"At this time, you dare to ask me for wages?"

The saliva was full of anger and laughed: "Break his leg for me and throw him into the sea." ”

The horses grinned and prepared to move.

"Stop!"

The tall man pushed away the horse boy in front of him and rushed up with more than a dozen coolies.

He leaned over to the coolie.

"Brother Qiang, are you okay?"

The coolie shook his head.

"What? Rebellion? ”

Saliva and gloomy face.

"You bastards, without me, you wouldn't have anything to eat. Don't get out of the way yet? ”

But what he didn't expect was that the coolies who were usually muffled and angry did not back down, staring at him with straight eyes.

At this time, Wang Shengguang led more than 30 people over.

Hearing all these words, he sneered and sneered:

"Lap the old mother! What age is it, I really thought that without all your saliva, my fellow villagers would have nothing to eat. ”

Seeing that the eyes of these people brought by Wang Shengguang were not good, the saliva finally felt that something was wrong.

He frowned.

"Who are you? It doesn't seem like your business, right? ”

"My name is Wang Shengguang. It was really none of my business. ”

Wang Shengguang said this, paused, and then changed his words:

"But, it's none of my business if you bully my fellow countrymen."

"You."

"What are you?"

Wang Shengguang unceremoniously interrupted his words.

Then he looked up and down again, and he snorted, and his tone teased:

"I seem to have heard you say that you were going to break my countryman's leg and throw him into the sea. Originally, I should have done what you said. But I'm more generous than you, and it's okay to break your leg for such a cruel thing, so I only plan to let you swim into the water. ”

The coolies who followed him surrounded him with unkind eyes.

The saliva turned all over his face, and he shouted with a stubble:

"I'm from Heyitang, how dare you?"

"I dare or not, I'll know if I try."

Wang Shengguang smirked and smashed his fist in the face of the saliva full.

The group of coolies he had brought behind him pressed down on the startled ponies in front of him.

With just one face-to-face effort, the whole group of saliva was knocked to the ground by the overwhelming coolies.

"Bang! Boom! Dare to threaten me, I'll kill you, a boy who died early! ”

Wang Shengguang threw himself on his saliva and smashed several punches on his face.

A coolie trotted over and said to him:

"The military uniforms are coming soon, Brother An told us to disperse and go to dinner first."

"Good luck dog."

Wang Shengguang gave up at this time, stood up and kicked his saliva all over his body. After giving the coolie a look, he waved at the coolies around him.

"Let's go."

Wang Shengguang and the others had just left the dock with their front feet, and the military uniforms of the rear foot brigade suddenly poured into the dock.

"Spread out, what are you doing here?"

"Whoever told you to get up, don't squat yet!"

The uniforms drew their batons from their waists and smashed them on the horses who got up, taking control of the situation.

It's just that Wang Shengguang and the coolie who did it have left, leaving only the saliva that they knocked to the ground.

"Bring back all the people who fought, everyone."

He Yi held the handle of the gun with his hand and shouted at the top of his voice.

"Ah sir, Ah sir."

The corners of his mouth were oozing blood, his nose was blue and his face was swollen, and he struggled to get up, and he staggered in front of He Yi, pulling an ugly smile on his face.

"We're the victims."

He Yi glanced at his saliva all over.

"When did you become a victim?"

"Sir, I really didn't lie to you."

Saliva all took out a few banknotes from his pocket and stuffed them into He Yi's shirt pocket.

"When you came to the docks, those people ran away. Look at the injuries on our bodies, we are really victims, you turn a blind eye and let us run away, and invite you to drink tea another day. ”

"I told you a few days ago that you guys should settle down recently. Now, when the words of our police are on deaf ears, everyone dares to compete for turf in front of everyone, how can you let me help you? ”

"No, sir."

"Shut up, tell us about something."

He Yi pushed away the mouth of Shuiquan's hand, and he didn't mean to return the money to him, and waved his hand.

"Take them back."

Behind him, the military uniforms poured up, and the whole group walked to the outside of the dock with suffocation.

"You go back to the police station first, and I'll be back when I do something."

After escorting these people to the car, He Yi took a document bag from the car, and took Wei Wen to the newspaper file at Pier 5.

Next to the newsstand, Li Anzheng was holding a bone, looking at it with relish, and when he saw He Yi and the two coming over, he put down the tabloid and said to He Yi:

"Thank you, Brother Yi."

"You don't need to be so polite, do you?"

He Yi pretended to be angry.

Li An smiled: "My fault, I invited you to drink another day?" ”

"That's what you said."

He Yi nodded with satisfaction, put on a smiling face again, and handed the document bag in his hand to Li An.

"Na, the fixed license plate for the three filings in the north and south."

Ang Lee opened the file bag and took a general look. As if he suddenly thought of something, he said:

"By the way, Brother Yi, I have three fellow villagers who have just come from the mainland, and I want you to help them get their identity certificates."

"Just from the mainland?"

"Any questions?"

"Nope."

He Yi shook his head and said thoughtfully:

"But the case in Yuen Long has not yet passed, and the immigration office has a strict review of those who have recently crossed the sea, so let's wait a few days, and I will take the three of them over when the time comes."

"No problem."

Li An nodded quietly.

In fact, Li An also has some doubts about Li Jianjun and the three of them.

The three of them happened to come ashore in the early morning of the day when the snake beaters in Yuen Long were killed?

Li Jianjun has joined the army and knows marksmanship.

And a glimmer of heaven to remind him?

When you think about it, it's a bit too much of a coincidence.

Li An handed over the file bag to the newspaper guy for safekeeping, and turned his head to look at the two of them.

"Brother Yi, Awen, let's go, let's go eat first."

Two o'clock in the afternoon.

The docks were busy.

But the coolies under the saliva were gathered together with a sad face.

Now all the saliva has been taken away by the errands, along with the horses who took stock of the goods and distributed the chips, and these coolies can't find anyone who can do things if they want to.

Even more anxious than the coolies is the shipowner's manager.

He couldn't have let a freighter stay in port because of a single saliva.

The shipowner's manager came to the coolies and urged:

"Go unload! What are you doing here, you don't have to eat? ”

coolie says:

"Manager, no one is in charge now, how can we settle the wages after unloading?"

"Can't you choose one of the principals? After taking inventory of the goods, I will pay the person in charge of the goods, and you can divide it yourself. ”

The shipowner's manager seems to be in a hurry to get angry.

The coolies only looked at each other a few times, unmoved.

If only it were as simple as the owner's manager said.

Unauthorized Charge? Split the payment equally? If you really want to do this, you will definitely find the principal to make up the payment after all the saliva comes out.

"Have you decided?"

The shipowner's manager urged again.

The coolies still shook their heads.

"Manager, how about I arrange someone to unload the cargo on your ship?"

Suddenly, a clear voice sounded from behind him.

The shipowner's manager couldn't help but turn around and look at the young man in front of him.

"You are?"

"My name is Ang Lee."

Li An looked at the shipowner manager: "I will arrange for the loading and unloading of your ship." However, the payment for the goods in the morning should be settled together. ”

"No problem, as long as you get them to do things quickly."

The shipowner's manager didn't think much about it, and then agreed.
