Half a month passed in a flash.

After sailing for half a month, the small sailboat that the Ink Giant and Han Li were riding on finally arrived at the destination of this trip, "Jiayuan City"

"Jiayuan City" was built at the junction of the Xianglu Grand Canal, and because it was surrounded by water on all sides, it was also called "Water City"

However, before they could get close to Jiayuan City, the Ink Giant and Han Li saw that there were nearly a hundred merchant ships, staying around Jiayuan City.

The larger wharves were basically occupied by large merchant ships and some powerful protected ships.

Therefore, the small sailboat that the ink giant and Han Li were riding could only go to the small dock to dock.

And this made Han Li can't help but complain, why can big ships dock at those big docks, while their small boats can only stay at small docks.

The ink giant just smiled at this, it seemed that Han Li was still very young at this moment!

It wasn't long before the boatman sailed his little sailboat to a small pier in the west of the city.

The impression that this dock gave to the ink giant and Han Li was very bad, and it could also be said to be terrible!

The whole pier is made of simple wooden planks, and the environment is still very dirty and messy, which is compared with the cleanliness of the previous big dock, it is simply a heaven and an underground.

However, even at such a wharf, there are many small sailing ships, and even medium-sized merchant ships stay in it.

And after these merchant ships dock at the dock, a handful of people in the dock will find the boatmen who dock and ask for a certain "berthing fee"

To put it bluntly, these people at the wharf also collect protection fees, although each merchant ship does not collect much, but there are a lot of ships docking.

At the end of the day, there will be at least nearly 100 boats, and the accumulation of these protection fees is really a lot of money.

And after these people collect the protection money of the boatman, they will also pay attention to the guests on the boat.

They would force the guests on the ship to hire some coolies to move goods, or some guides who were familiar with Jiayuan City, in order to earn some silver taels.

And some of the silver earned by these coolies will be handed over to their gangs.

It can be described as a one-stop service, not only the big head has to eat, but also the small head has to eat!

It can be seen that Jiayuan City is a city where every inch of land is valuable, and this is also the unwritten rule of Jiayuan City West City!

"Two guests, in front of them is the Xicheng Wharf, after the two of them go ashore for a while, remember to hire a local coolie!"

The boatman propped up the oars and soon followed the boat in front of him to the Xicheng Wharf and anchored.

Then the boatman spoke to the swarthy guy in front of him, and to a strange man wearing a wolf's head mask.

Moreover, this strange man wearing a wolf's head mask always made the boatman stare at him a little hairy, and even felt that the strange man in front of him was like a beast in the mountains and forests.

Originally, the boatman didn't plan to let the swarthy guy in front of him and the strange man wearing the wolf's head mask get on the boat.

But the strange man was too generous, and he paid the boatman two or three times more than the other guests.

That's why the boatman took the risk.

Fortunately, during the voyage, this strange man did not make strange moves, but kept practicing unknown martial arts cross-legged and browsing the ancient books in his hands.

On the contrary, this swarthy young man, a little too lively, made the boatman's heart tighten, for fear that if he fell into the river, the strange man would make him lose his life.

"Why, boatman, is it possible that we will not be allowed to enter the city without employing their coolies?"

When Han Li heard what the boatman said, he handed the boatman twenty or fifty taels of silver for the boat, and then asked the boatman with some confusion.

After the boatman took the tip, he hurriedly put it in his arms and explained it to Han Li.

"The guests don't know that this Xicheng Wharf is the most chaotic in Jiayuan City, and if the guests who enter the city don't hire the coolies of the local gang, then they will think that this is to provoke their gang!

And those who provoke their gang are usually beaten by them, and even beaten to death in the street!"

"What are you talking about? Why don't you hurry up!"

Just as the boatman was explaining to Han Li, a group of young men in coolie costumes came up on the dock, and the leader was still a strong man with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, and he looked like he was not easy to mess with.

"System, look at this person!"

[Character]: Black bear

[Strength]: A third-rate mid-term master

[Introduction]: The small leader of the "Iron Fist Club" in Jiayuan City, with more than 100 people in charge of his hands, dares to fight, dare to fight, dare to fight, and has some ambitions, and Sun Ergou of the "Siping Gang" manages the sixth pier of Xicheng together.

As soon as the ink giant finished investigating the strong man in front of him, he saw that the fifty taels of boat fare that Han Li had given to the boatman were snatched by this black bear.

"My lord, no, this berthing fee is not so expensive!"

"Hmph, the sun is so hot today, and our brothers happen to be a little thirsty, these are just your filial piety to our "Iron Fist Club", don't get out of here!"

The black bear shouted at the boatman as he weighed the fifty taels of silver in his hand, while the corner of his eye was still looking at Han Li's body.

Just now, it was this swarthy boy who gave the boatman fifty taels of silver, and at first glance he was a rich little fat sheep, if he didn't slaughter him, he wouldn't be worthy of his title of black bear!

However, when the black bear looked at the young man wearing the wolf's head mask, he felt some fear in his heart for no reason, and he did not dare to make eye contact with the eyes inside the mask.

Thinking of this, the black bear couldn't help but gesture to Sun Ergou, who was envious on the side.

Then another group of people in the dock came running over, and the leader looked at Han Li with the same expression as the black bear.

[Character]: Sun Ergou

[Strength]: A third-rate early master

[Introduction]: The small leader of the "Siping Gang" in Jiayuan City, with more than 100 people in charge of his hands, is clever, bullying the weak and afraid of the hard, meeting the wind and making the rudder, and the black bear of the "Iron Fist Club" manages the sixth pier of Xicheng together.

"Black bear, you can't eat it, do you want to share five or five points with me?"

After Sun Ergou came over, he said happily to the black bear.

Although he would also feel fear in his heart for no reason when he looked at the ink giant, Sun Ergou's desire for silver still overcame the fear in his heart.

And in Sun Ergou's heart, he also saw that the black bear couldn't eat these two little fat sheep, so he sat on the ground and raised the price for the black bear.

Don't forget, this time is the business of our "Iron Fist Club", I'm seven and you're three!"

"Why don't we each take a step back, six or four, you six and I four?"

The black bear gritted his teeth in his heart for Sun Ergou's bargaining, but this young man wearing a wolf's head mask is really just like Sun Ergou said, he can't eat it alone!

However, just as the two were discussing how to slaughter the little fat sheep in front of them, the faint voice of the ink giant reached their ears.

"The two of you are discussing this in front of us, when we are air?"

"Let's do it!"
