"The money was handed over to Li Zhengtao?"

On the dock, Ang Lee was sitting in the pergola drinking tea.

Seeing Wu Shihao coming over, he made a cup of tea and put it on the table in front of Wu Shihao.

"Li Zhengtao said that he would handle things properly."

Wu Shihao pulled a stool and sat down, and drank all the tea handed over by Li Ang to relieve the dryness in his throat.

It's early September, and the daytime temperature can be around 32 degrees. After running to the police station for two hours back and forth, Wu Shihao's undershirt and trousers were soaked with sweat and sticky to his body.

"That's good."

After a pause, Li An said to Wu Shihao again:

"Pier 7 is under the jurisdiction of the West Ring Police Station, don't move it yet, wait until you take the five piers in front.

The police station has been arranged, and I will arrange Long Chenghu to help you, and the things on the dock will depend on you, but there is one point, it cannot affect the normal operation of the dock. ”

"I know."

Wu Shihao nodded.

After being around the dock for so long, he knew very well that the shipping companies were in charge of the docks, followed by the large and small trading houses.

It is unrealistic to want to take down the entire triangle wharf in one go, not to say that it is enough to drive those foremen out of the wharf, but also to arrange the loading and unloading work of the wharf, and not to miss the shipping company and those business houses.

Otherwise, it will leave a mess, and the freighter will not be able to leave the port normally, and the angry shipowner managers may not wait for themselves to gain a foothold, and they will not be able to get along at the terminal.

Just when Wu Shihao was thinking about this, Xi Wei also walked over.

"Brother An, Brother Hao."

"Have you cleared the background checks of those foremen at Pier 5?" After Xi Wei sat down, Li An asked.

"Seven foremen, except for Zheng Peng, the straw sandals of Liangongle, who is a little troublesome, everyone else is a little small."

Even the hawkers and coolies who begged for a living on the docks had many people pay some dues, and did not participate in the community fire and attached to the trade name to avoid being bullied.

Not to mention the foremen of these hundreds of coolies who follow the mixed food, naturally most of them have a community background, otherwise they would not have gained a firm foothold on the docks.

In fact, there is no need to investigate this, in order to bluff people, or to avoid trouble, those foremen almost put the name of the word on the head of the head for fear that people will not know, as long as a little inquiry will be clear.

Hearing Liangongle, Ang Li suddenly remembered Chen Shou who came to the dock at the beginning, the hot rising star of Liangongle.

"What happens on the dock, you discuss it yourself, I'll go and report the file."

After speaking, Li An got up and left.

A straw sandal, he won't take it to heart.

Red sticks, white paper fans, and straw sandals are the names of club-level positions.

The red stick is also known as 'four-two-six' or 'twelve-bottomed'.

The white paper fan is also known as 'four one five' or 'ten bottoms'.

Straw sandals are also known as 'four-three-two' or 'nine-bottomed'.

The red stick is the senior staff of the hall, that is, the foreman. Those who are elected to sit in the museum must have the qualification of a red stick.

The white paper fan, also known as the 'master', is the think tank and military advisor of each hall, and its duty is to give advice to the hall and deal with internal disputes.

Straw sandals are the lowest level of staff and belong to the junior ranks.

Below it is Sijiuzai.

Since he has handed over the affairs of the dock to Wu Shihao to take care of, and has sorted out the relationship between the officials, he is not prepared to interfere too much.

Occupy this kind of thing, Li An believes that Wu Shihao and the brothers can handle it.

Out of the dock, I happened to meet Zhang Jiaxin in the newspaper file.

Li Anxin moved slightly, it's still early, and he hasn't reported for so long, he really should go around, and by the way, take a look at the five new newspapers opened by Ah Xin.

……

……

On the pier, the cement floor is hot under the strong sunlight, and even the sea breeze seems to smell hot.

At this time, it was around twelve o'clock in the afternoon.

Taking advantage of the gap before the start of work, the coolies sat on the ground bare-chested, with their backs to the piled goods, chatting and resting quietly.

Suddenly, the sound of chaotic footsteps rang out one after another.

A steady stream of people poured into the docks.

These hand-held wooden sticks and the crowd with unkind eyes suddenly poured into the dock, which immediately attracted everyone's attention.

The coolies who were originally sitting and resting also became nervous, and their eyes couldn't help but look at their respective foremen.

There is nothing more important than making money, and only by having a job can you earn money to support your family.

In order to keep their jobs, large-scale fires and occupy territory, and they will also come forward to strengthen their strength.

"What's going on?"

Spit out a puff of cigarette smoke, Zheng Peng, who was sitting in the pergola of the pier, looked at a black figure not far away, and suddenly changed color.

Suddenly, so many people came at once, and they were holding the guys, which made it clear that the comers were not good.

"Brother Peng, it was Wu Shihao who brought someone over."

A man with a ruffian face, a short-sleeved shirt open, and an open-chested shirt walked into the pergola quickly.

"What does he want to do, come here and grab the land?"

Zheng Peng furrowed his brows.

After a while, he took out the cigarette butt and still had it on the ground, got up and walked over.

Liangongle is known as the dock gang, and most of the 49s in it are coolies in the dock.

It is also smuggling, human snakes...... The business on these docks, not to mention the official relationship, is backed by Liu Fu, the former chief inspector of China.

On the sixth pier before, they all saw the conflict between Ang Lee and Changle Club.

Now that Wu Shihao under his command is bringing people over menacingly, although Zheng Peng has scruples, he is not afraid.

When Zheng Peng walked over, several other foremen on the dock also walked over.

"Hey, Brother Hao, you have nothing to do at the dock, making such a big scene?"

As he spoke, Zheng Peng smiled on his face, took out his cigarette again, and gestured to Wu Shihao.

"No need."

Wu Shihao's tone was cold.

"Hehe......"

Zheng Peng laughed lightly, lit a cigarette for himself, and asked:

"What's all the fuss about, Brother Hao?"

Wu Shihao's face was calm, and he said lightly:

"It's nothing, just to tell you, from today onwards, pier 5 will be decided by me Wu Shihao."

As soon as these words came out, these foremen suddenly changed color.

A man with a conspicuous scar on his neck couldn't help but step forward and shouted angrily:

"Wu Shihao, do you understand the rules of the rivers and lakes, you still can't eat enough at Pier No. 6, come to Pier No. 5 to plant a flag!"

Wu Shihao didn't care about the other party's tone, and spread his hands:

"Scar Liu, of course I'm a ruler, although I don't mix names, but I don't mind following the rules of the rivers and lakes.

I'm so fair, I'll talk about it today, everyone will show the carriage and horses, and if you lose, get out! ”

"I'm stinking about your mother! Wu Shihao, you really think that there are many of you, and we are afraid of you. There are more than 100 of us in total, and it is impossible to say who will win or lose! ”

Scar Liu scolded angrily. The other foremen also stared at Wu Shihao with righteous indignation.

The Sijiu boys who followed them stepped forward, all with unkind eyes.

There were almost 100 people under these foremen, and Wu Shihao led a little more people, 200 people.

The two sides were a little messy, undershirts, short shirts, short fights, and even shirtless, everything, in order to distinguish each other, Wu Shihao let his brothers wrap white sweat scarves around their left arms.

The two sides stared at each other in a noisy and chaotic manner.

The scene seems to be getting out of control.

At this time, the coolies who were paying attention to the movement here couldn't help but come over, and the thousands of people looked black and oppressive, full of oppression.

But they didn't come too far, just stood not far from the foremen.

Strong.

……

……

On the pier streets, pedestrians weave through.

Two men with crooked hats and listless uniforms walked the streets.

When I walked to the section of Pier 5, many pedestrians on the side of the road were condescendingly looking at the pier by the sea and discussing.

"Look at the excitement, so many people."

The two walked over curiously.

"Let's go."

As he spoke, he pulled away from the crowd and looked at the bustling pedestrians, looking at the seaside pier below.

At a glance, you can see two distinct groups of people in the unloading area of the wharf.

"Fire and ah."

Seeing the number of people on both sides, the faces of the two changed.

Ordinary small fights can still be frightened with their clothes, but this kind of armed fight of hundreds of people on the dock in front of them must go to the police station to call for support.

"Xiang Zai, go call someone." The older man in a slightly chubby military uniform said to his companion next to him with a nervous expression.

"Okay."

The young military uniform known as Xiang Zai hurriedly answered, turned around and prepared to leave.

"Hey! Don't watch, Sir handle the case, let's go, let's go. ”

Three plainclothes men with the handle of their guns exposed at their waists walked over and waved impatiently to drive away the lively pedestrians.

Disturbed, these onlookers glanced at the handle of the gun on the waist of the three people, and their faces were not divided, but they still walked away silently.

The two uniforms lifted the brim of their hats and hurriedly stepped forward.

"Sir."

He Yi glanced at the two of them, smiled and said:

"You're here just in time, don't patrol first, watch here, don't let passers-by get close to watch."

"Got it, sir." The two nodded hurriedly.

He Yi hummed, explained to the two guys beside him, and walked quickly towards Li An on the side.

Li An, who had just returned to the dock, held on to the railing with both hands, and looked condescendingly at the two groups of people on the dock.

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw He Yi coming over and said to Zhang Jiaxin beside him:

"Ah Xin, the weather is so hot, bring a box of soda over and let these sirs relieve the heat."

"I'll go."

Zhang Jiaxin hurried away.

……

……

Wu Shihao looked at the angry foremen in front of him, and his tone was cold:

"It's useless to talk about it, it's about fists on the dock, if you have the ability, drive me out of the dock and say it again."

Zheng Peng's face was also a little ugly, and he said angrily:

"We have been in the dock for so many years, and there have been a lot of troubles in our territory, but none of them have been safe and sound afterwards. Wu Shihao, you think clearly! ”

"Heh......"

Wu Shihao sneered.

If he's afraid of things, he won't eat at the dock,

The brothers had worked hard to cross the sea, not to make money.

If you want to make money, you have to be ruthless enough and dare to fight for your life.

Not to mention that it's just a Zheng Peng, even if the big guy of Liangongle stands in front of him, he doesn't hesitate to start his own move.

Wu Shihao ignored Zheng Peng, but his eyes swept over the group of black-pressed coolies standing behind them.

"My name is Wu Shihao, and you know the rules of Pier 6. Do you want to continue to be pumped by them? Or do you want to be like the laborers at Pier 6, taking as much as you want? Think it out for yourself! ”

Wu Shihao roared.

Although these coolies are only here to make a strong noise, they may not necessarily do it.

But people have a herd mentality, and it is difficult to guarantee that these people will not be hot-headed and rashly get involved.

A word of caution to keep them sober up will also avoid unnecessary trouble.

Sure enough, when these powerful coolies heard this, they immediately became a little commotion.

They naturally knew the rules of Pier 6, and if it weren't for the fact that there weren't so many coolies over there, they would have run over a long time ago.

Wu Shihao didn't want to say more, and raised the nearly one-meter-long wooden stick in his hand.

"Do it!"

While shouting, the wooden stick in his hand slammed down and slammed into Zheng Peng's head.

Zheng Peng hurriedly dodged and retreated, grabbed the dogleg knife handed over by Ma Zai behind him, took the lead, and rushed towards Wu Shihao:

"Kill these gangsters!"

It's like a powder keg that has been detonated.

The two of them just started one after the other, as if it was a signal, and the people on both sides immediately pounced on each other.

Arm-thick wooden sticks cross!

With a bang, the dog-legged knife in Zheng Peng's hand almost came out of his hand.

Wu Shihao, who was opposite him, held the wooden stick with both hands, smashed it again, and said disdainfully: "Kill me? Do you have the ability to fight the streets? ”

Zheng Peng's face was gloomy, he gritted his teeth and took a step back, dodging the oncoming wooden stick, raised his right hand, and slashed at Wu Shihao's chest with a dogleg knife.

Suddenly, there was a thud, and a figure slammed into the feet of the two of them.

Wu Shihao couldn't help but stop, and then he saw Long Chenghu walking over.

"Hurry up."

After saying a word to Wu Shihao, Long Chenghu, who was bare-handed, rushed forward with his feet.

"Pick your mother!"

Zheng Peng's face was hideous, and he raised his knife to split.

As soon as the knife in his hand was raised, Long Chenghu suddenly stood still, twisted his waist and turned around to kick his legs!

His legs were like ascending dragons, and he kicked Zheng Peng's jaw hard from bottom to top, kicking him upside down and smashing into the crowd!

Long Chenghu retracted his right foot, didn't look at Zheng Peng, who was struggling to the ground, looked around, turned around and went to find the next opponent.

……

……

"He sir, drink a bottle of soda to reduce the fire."

Zhang Jiaxin walked over with two bottles of soda.

"Thank you."

He Yi took the soda, took a sip through the straw, and looked condescendingly at the fire on the fifth pier on the seaside, and secretly said in his heart.

Hong Kong and Kowloon have community fires and horses every day. But most of the thunder is loud and the rain is small.

The younger brother on both sides scolded a few times, 'Fuck you', and the eldest brother slapped the table and pointed at each other and scolded a few words to fuck your mother, and in the end, most of them couldn't fight, and it ended up in a tiger.

It is rare for hundreds of people to fight like this, and to engage in such a large scene of fire.

"It's just a dock to make such a big scene, will it end badly later?"

He Yi was a little worried.

Ang Lee took two sips of soda, and his face was as usual:

"It didn't end well? What do you mean? ”

"Of course it's a journalist, and you know that newspapers sell gimmicks. It's daytime, and it's been a long time, if those newspaper reporters heard the news, how could they let go of such a hot news. ”

He Yi pursed his lips.

For journalists, they are the most headaches for these errands.

It is even more common to be criticized and denounced.

After all, it's about freedom of speech.

Reporters don't care whether you are bad or not, not to mention that most of the people who run newspapers are businessmen with heads and faces, and they are not worried about retaliation against the newspaper.

Li An shook his head: "Don't worry, when that group of reporters received the news and rushed over, they would have cleaned up a long time ago." ”
