Chapter Seventy-Eight: Fighting Officials

When Li Ji got off the boat, his legs seemed to be dancing, so he was not embarrassed, if Xu Ping'an hadn't supported him when he walked the boat, he probably would have jumped directly into the river.

Fortunately, Quan Nong was kind, and when he left, he picked a herb from the river for him, which was unremarkable, but after Li Ji ate it, he did not vomit immediately.

It was dusk, and the ghosts were bustling with people.

Xu Ping'an didn't expect that when he came to Wulin Wharf, he would travel so far to the Grand Canal and come to the Guicao Wharf, it seems that what he said to Yu Youwei last night that he would be able to go back in the evening was probably going to break his promise.

I don't want to be okay, I want to go back even more if I think about it, compared with these stinky boats, the difference between heaven and earth!

On the ghost wharf, there is a clear distinction between passenger and cargo ships.

On the left is a passenger ship that picks up and drops passengers, on the right is a wide cargo ship, and in the middle there are some powerful people in the rivers and lakes who seem to be standing guard here, communicating with each other with lip language, a pair of eyes like poisonous snakes scanning all directions, and I don't know which side of the people it is.

And as far as the eye can see, within a radius of several miles, there are still many officials and errands, who are shouting loudly to direct the ships to enter the harbor and dock.

In such a cold dusk, there were many coolie old men, wearing short shirts and rags, rolling up their trousers, barefoot and bare-chested, and carrying the goods to the shore.

It's hard to imagine what a chaotic dock this is, more than ten times more complicated than the Ulin dock.

Especially many people know at a glance that the murderous Ruma is a rogue, but he walks with the official in a grand manner.

Xu Ping'an and the others came ashore from the side of the passenger terminal, and followed a group of coolies here, except for the pedestrians who got on and off the boat, they didn't meet any special people.

He took Li Ji to make a big detour, and quietly wanted to go to the other side to see what was going on, that is, the side of the freight!

Unexpectedly, on a merchant ship at the entrance, two powerful officials stood up and stopped them.

"Stop, which boat are you recruiting coolies?" an official asked, looking at the two of them scrutinically.

"Oh, sir... That's it!"

Xu Ping'an's face was not panicked, his heart was not beating, and he pointed to a cargo ship in the distance, and said with a smile: "Official, let me wait in, the owner's goods are being unloaded! ”

After speaking, the two officials surrounded him and looked at him carefully.

"Hehe!" the official sneered: "Where did the river loach come from, this is not another wharf, is it a place for you to find money? Let's go, let's go, don't force the official to turn his face!"

"What do you mean?" Li Ji was seasick and was holding back a fire in his stomach and had nowhere to send it: "My owner's ship is unloading, and I can't go in to work and make money yet?!"

The official was very impatient and scolded: "Let you go, you will get out!"

"You just got off the passenger ship, do you think I didn't see it?

"Wait!"

Another official next to him had very poisonous eyes and clever brains, and after looking at Xu Ping'an and a few people, he said: "I'm afraid the two of you are not coolies, how can there be perennial coolies who have no calluses and no dark necks."

?”

"Who are you on that path?"

"Don't step on the horse and talk more, my origin scares you to death, it's just deliberately hidden, you are a bird who dares to take care of the affairs of the master, if there is any problem with this batch of goods, your top boss will have to commit suicide by throwing himself into the river!"

Xu Ping'an was in a hurry, and immediately scolded him, and scolded him in vulgar words, which really gave people the feeling of being a ruthless character.

When Li Ji saw his son-in-law like this, his face immediately turned cold, like a black-faced King Kong, he stomped his feet suddenly, and many cracks cracked directly on the ground, and the strength of the master of the inner family was overwhelmingly pressed towards the two.

This is not the first time that the two of them have done this kind of thing, and they have cooperated like this as early as Ivory Mountain to scare people.

Sure enough, it's a trick that can be eaten all over the world!

Suddenly, the faces of the two officials changed, for fear of provoking a big man who shouldn't be messed with.

After all, this ghost wharf, whether it is a person, a ghost or a fairy, is all crisscrossed here, maybe it is really a giant on a certain road.

The clever official immediately changed his attitude, slapped himself, and then laughed with his hand.

"The two masters are not to blame, the villain is just for routine business and to protect passing ships, if there is anything offended, I hope you don't care. ”

Xu Ping'an waved his hand and snorted, "Get out!"

The official smiled awkwardly, a little unhappy but more embarrassed, and still said very politely: "Anyone who enters and exits the Ghost Cao cargo ship must have a token issued by the temporary yamen in his hand, and as long as he can enter and exit freely at any time, the two masters... Look...?"

"What, I still have to have a token?"

Xu Ping'an was stunned for a moment, and then laughed dryly: "That's it, just remember to hide my identity, I forgot about the token for a while, and I will go back to your yamen to ask for it." ”

"In that case, take your leave! Don't talk nonsense about the news of the two of us, be careful of your wives and children!"

The official began to disbelieve it, and the explanation from the top was that all those who trespassed without a token would be arrested.

"Second master, why don't you take the villain to the temporary yamen to get the token? ”

Xu Ping'an glanced at him: "You have a lot of small soldiers, if you don't go, what can you do with me?"

The two officials glanced at each other, and their expressions began to change.

They really can't figure out the identities of the two, just with Xu Ping'an's temperament of taking all the real things in his eyes, as well as Li Ji's cathartic internal strength, maybe it really has a big background.

However, the above words are that as long as there is no token, then arrest people.

If something big happens, don't miss one, and if something happens, naturally there will be big people coming out to top.

Comparing the two heads, it is obvious that if you don't catch it, you will die more miserably.

Besides, the fact that there was no token gave him enough confidence.

"Hmph, you dare to be so horizontal with me without a token, I don't care how big a character you are, immediately communicate with Lao Tzu to make a temporary yamen, otherwise these masters will be on a tour one by one, and you won't even have bones left!"

Hearing this, Li Ji, who had vomited all the way, was already angry, and no matter how good his temper was, he couldn't bear it, so he rushed forward, and he waved a big slap like a fan, and slapped the official's face with one palm.

He yelled, "I'll do you!"

The official screamed and fell to the sky, like an iron plate plopping down to the ground with a heavy sound, and the sound was so loud that many people around him were startled.

Dead officials are not uncommon here, and blatant beatings are rare.

The clever official opened his mouth and shouted for help, so several officials came with knives when they saw this, and rushed over shouting and killing, so that the entire ghost dock suddenly exploded, and they all watched.
