Volume 1 Meteor Swordsmanship Chapter 6 Ezhou Rudder (1)
Ezhou belongs to Jinghu North Road, built along the Yangtze River, there are many lakes in the territory, the scenery is pleasant, and it has always been a land of fish and rice.
Jia Shenyi came to the edge of the Yangtze River and hired a small boat to cross the river. He had just gone ashore and walked for a short time when he saw a group of men and horses running towards the dock. He thought that the entrance of the Aoki Gang Ezhou rudder was on the wharf by the river, so it was better to follow and have a look, so he also walked to the wharf.
The Aoki Gang has three halls in the Ezhou rudder. The first hall is at the wharf by the river, the second hall is at the fish market 60 miles away from the city, and the third hall is the Sifang restaurant in the city.
Ezhou wharf is built according to the Yangtze River, divided into official wharf and civil wharf, the official wharf is controlled by the government and specializes in official ships. The civil wharf has always been divided and ruled by the Aoki gang and the royal gate, and for many years, the well water of the two sides has not interfered with the river water, but there has been no major fight. Now after being attacked by the royal gate, I don't know what happened to the dock.
The wharf was only more than ten miles away from Ezhou City, and it only took him more than half an hour to rush over.
He stood at the gate of the wharf and saw a lot of goods piled up on the wharf, and the coolies were all moving and unloading goods back and forth, very busy.
He lowered his hat and blended in with the passers-by, slowly approaching the docks that had belonged to the Aoki Gang. But he didn't even see a brother from the Aoki Gang.
As he walked forward, he saw a large crowd of people in front of him, and he didn't know what he was doing. He also gathered around, and saw a ringleader with a full face standing on the platform, followed by a row of thugs dressed in black.
I only heard the leader say loudly to the people in front of him: "All the merchants and travelers, shipwrights and miscellaneous servants, from now on, the docks of this Aoki Gang will be taken over by our royal gate." I don't care what you did before, in short, from today onwards, everyone will continue to communicate as usual, but this month's money will be handed over to our royal gate. Specific things, it is written on the list, and everyone has seen it. If you don't understand anything, you can come to me. ”
When everyone heard this, they all shouted below, and one of them asked, "What about the deposit we gave to the Aoki gang earlier?"
Another coolie said: "As soon as your king's gate came, you raised so much money, how can we live?" Immediately someone followed him.
The leader walked up to the person who asked him, glared at him with his eyes, and said slowly: "The money you paid is going to the Aoki Gang, and our royal family can't control it, I just have to collect the money." ”
He looked at the others and saw that everyone was thinking about their own interests.
He continued: "If you are willing to obey the rules of my king's house, stay and continue to work, and if you are not, let me go." ”
When those people heard such outrageous and unreasonable words, they were already furious, and one by one they clenched their fists, ready to rush up to ask for an explanation. It's just that they are forced by the power of the king's gate, and they dare not speak out.
At this time, a voice came from nowhere: "Their royal family does not preach morality, and they bully others, and we fight with them." ”
Just as the crowd searched everywhere for the person who spoke. I saw a person turn out of the goods behind the crowd, holding a big ring knife in his hand, standing in front of everyone, majestic and fearless.
Jia Shenyi fixed his eyes and recognized that this person was the master of the Ezhou branch of the Aoki Gang, Liu Rong, the "King Kong in the Water" who was in charge of the dock affairs.
At that moment, someone ran to him and complained to him: "Master Liu, you want to administer justice for us." ”
It turned out that since Shi Yuntian succeeded as the leader of the Aoki Gang, Liu Rong was appointed as the new helmsman of the Ezhou rudder.
I only heard Liu Rong say: "Everyone rest assured, with our Aoki Gang here, we will definitely not let everyone suffer losses." ”
The leader of the royal gate saw that it was his old rival Liu Rong, and knew that he was not a good comer, so he hurriedly stepped forward and sneered at him: "Master Liu Duo, don't come unharmed." ”
Liu Rong said with a disdainful face: "Hong Fu, who entrusted you with Ding's affairs, can't die yet." ”
It turned out that the ringleader's name was Ding Long, nicknamed "Chuanjiang Long", and he was the person in charge of the Ezhou Wharf in Wangmen.
I only heard Ding Long laugh loudly: "It's really hard to find a place to step on the iron shoes, and it doesn't take any effort to get there." I didn't expect you to send it to the door by yourself. ”
Liu Rong said angrily: "You insidious villains, you actually attacked the entrance of my Aoki Gang, let me teach you a lesson today." After saying that, he whistled around, and immediately many brothers from the Aoki Gang appeared from all directions, surrounding Ding Long and the others.
Under the protection of the thugs, Ding Long smiled fearlessly: "Okay, since you are all here, then I will send you to report to Lord Yama today." ”
Then he gave an order, and all the people in the dock of the Wang Gate picked up the guy and rushed towards Liu Rong and the others of the Aoki Gang.
Suddenly, there was chaos on the dock, among the swords and swords, the fleeing for their lives, the fighting and killing, screaming again and again, shouting to kill the sky.
Jia Shenyi hid next to him, and saw that the two sides were fighting inextricably, and it was very tragic. He looked at the people of the royal gate to bully the less, and thought to himself that if the fight continued like this, the Aoki Gang would obviously suffer a big loss.
So, he hurriedly took out a black scarf from his arms, covered his face, and lowered his hat a little before rushing out to save Liu Rong and the others.
He killed all the way to Liu Rong's side, and whispered to Liu Rong: "Lord Liu Helm, there are many people in the royal family, you hurry up and take your brothers and leave." ”
Liu Rong was also confused when he saw that he was biting gold halfway, and saw that he was helping him deal with the royal family, and knew that he was a friend and not an enemy. Immediately came to the spirit, and fought more fiercely, ignoring Jia Shenyi's words.
Seeing that Liu Rong had no intention of retreating, Jia Shenyi approached his side again and said to Liu Rong: "Now is not the time to be rash, you quickly retreat with everyone." ”
Liu Rong said: "Don't talk nonsense, I came here today to fight to the death with the royal gate." ”
Jia Shenyi said: "You hit the stone with an egg like this, didn't you give the lives of your brothers in vain, what kind of face do you have to go to see the Shi Gang Master." ”
Liu Rong was stunned for a moment, and said hurriedly: "Your Excellency is right, I can't live up to the trust placed in me by the Shi Gang Master, okay, I will retreat with my brothers." ”
Jia Shenyi felt a little relieved in his heart, and hurriedly went to cover their retreat.
Liu Rong asked again, "Won't Your Excellency come with us?"
Jia Shenyi said: "I have my own way to get out, you guys go quickly." ”
Liu Rong said: "I can't leave my friends here to fight hard and escape alone." ”
Jia Shenyi saw that he was righteous, and hurriedly said: "Okay, I'll block the people of the royal gate first, and then chase you, and everyone retreats together." ”
Then Liu Rongcai nodded in agreement, and shouted loudly to the brothers: "Brothers, the reinforcements from the royal gate are here, everyone withdraw quickly, withdraw quickly." ”
