Chapter 2: Wandering the Market
Just thinking about it, a middle-aged man in Tsing Yi came. As soon as the man stood still, the coolies who were squatting at the base of the wall hula surrounded him. "Do you have people? I have the strength. "With me, I'm cheap. "I'm an old stance. ”......。
Da Kui was dumbfounded, isn't it a choice? Still with a robber? Looking at the noisy crowd, Da Kui scratched his head. How is it good for wolves to have more meat and less meat?
The middle-aged man selected a few sturdy laborers, talked about twenty wen a day and took care of the food, and the coolies nodded happily, and then followed the middle-aged man away. Those who were not selected were full of envy, and they each returned to the base of the wall and squatted down to continue to bask in the sun.
Xu is a creation to make people, four or five employers came one after another, and Da Kui's gang didn't get a job. Da Kui couldn't help but be ruthless, and when he came again, he must grab the work, otherwise how would he get mixed up here? At that moment, Da Kui squatted there with his eyes against the flow of people coming and going on the street, and finally saw a housekeeper walking here, and Da Kui was the first to rush up.
"Master, are you looking for someone to work? I have a lot of strength and can endure hardships, how about you use less money?" Da Kui asked in a loud voice. The housekeeper looked Da Kui up and down and asked, "Will you deliver the baby?" I want to find two stable women, my young grandmother is about to give birth!" said with a sneer, walked past Da Kui, and walked away. Da Kui's actions naturally caused the others to laugh, and Da Kui stood there, his face feeling hot, and he couldn't wait to find a crack in the ground to get into.
When the dogs, stones, brooms, dustpans, and benches were left, they got up and came to the coolies. The dog snorted: "Whoever laughs again, Lao Tzu broke his teeth, don't laugh." "The dogs, the stones, the brooms, the dustpans, and the benches stood there, and they were like five iron towers. The dog shouted violently, and everyone suddenly fell silent and didn't dare to laugh anymore.
Gou Yu turned to Da Kui and said, "Master Dan, you rest." If there is another recruitment, I will take it by myself!" He turned around and said to the coolies: "You have to wait for Hugh to grab it again, otherwise Hugh blames me for being polite." ”
Seeing this, Da Kui hurriedly shouted: "Don't be rude, we're here to find work, how can we maliciously deceive people?"
Gou Yu and the other five stopped saying a word, and each returned to the base of the wall and squatted. Da Kui immediately hugged his fists to the coolies and said: "Everyone, the six of my brothers have just come to your land, and they just want to eat here. ”
The coolies were silent, and looked at the one sitting in the innermost. This man is five short and dressed in homespun linen, and every time he comes to the employer, he doesn't see him rushing to work, but he has been closing his eyes and recuperating. When the dogs, stones, brooms, dustpans, and benches intimidated everyone, he didn't move, and at this time, Da Kui's words, the sackcloth man opened his mouth.
"This is the territory of the third master, can you come here to beg for a living?" asked the Mai man first.
Da Kui couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, and couldn't help asking: "I and a few brothers have just come here, and we haven't seen Hou Sanye yet. I also asked this eldest brother to introduce him on his behalf. After a pause, Da Kui asked again: "Dare to ask this eldest brother's name?"
The man in Mai still looked like he was ignorant and said: "Just call me Brother Lin, how can you see Third Master Hou casually?" But although people can't see it, this filial piety is indispensable, and each of the six of you has two strings of money." I'll talk to Hou Sanye when I go back, and take more care of you. ”
The five people who were squatting at the base of the wall, the dogs, the stones, the brooms, the dustpans, and the benches couldn't help but be angry when they heard this. Don't say that you don't have a job here, even if you have a day of work, you can earn more than ten or twenty yuan, and this son of a bitch raises two strings of money per person, so wouldn't it take ten days and half a month to earn it? This is obviously blackmail and bullying.
Gou Yu couldn't help but get up and scolded: "You turtle grandson's head is broken, your mouth is not big, your breath is not small, ......." ”
Da Kui looked at him angrily when he heard this, and when Gou Yu saw that Da Kui's face was not good, he didn't dare to say anything more, and quickly shrank his neck and squatted back.
Unexpectedly, the Mai man surnamed Lin was not good at stubble, so he stood up slowly and said, "You don't want to settle down here without filial piety?" I'll go and report to Hou Sanye, you wait here." The man surnamed Lin patted his ass and walked away proudly.
Da Kui was helpless when he saw that the matter had come to this point, so he walked back to the wall and squatted down.
Seeing that no one was paying attention, Da Kui said in a loud voice: "Listen to it, look at my eyes and act, don't mess around!"
The other five people received the order, and they all squatted there in their own rules and did not say anything.
After less than half an hour, more than ten strong men rushed out of the freight yard, all carrying whistle sticks and iron rulers in their hands, and went straight to the place where Da Kui and the others were.
When this group of people approached Da Kui and the others, the man surnamed Mai Lin pointed at Da Kui and said, "That's them." ”
A red-faced man walked out of this group of fierce and vicious strong men, and asked Yang Sheng at Da Kui and the others, "Are you new here?"
Da Kui got up with a smile and said, "Ah, this big brother." We're from out of town, and we want to do some short-term work here. ”
The red-faced man sneered, "Do you know the rules here?"
Before Da Kui could speak, the man surnamed Mai Lin at first preemptively said: "I told them the rules a long time ago, and if they don't obey them, they will hurt people, and they are the ones with big eyes." He pointed to the dog's leftovers.
The red-faced man nodded when he heard this, with a ruthless look on his face, and squeezed out three words between his teeth: "Call me!"
As soon as the words fell, a group of strong men behind him surrounded the six of Da Kui and beat Haibian.
Da Kui just gritted his teeth and endured the pain, and when the rest of the people saw that Da Kui didn't speak, no one dared to get up and make a move, and the six of them struggled until they were knocked to the ground by this group of strong men. Although the name of the stone is hard, it was the first person to break its head.
This group of strong men is not the master of pity and cherishing jade, and they are beating a few men. This big stick, one guy has a discount on the whistle stick in his hand.
The red-faced man saw the blood, so he shouted at everyone to stop. He came to Da Kui's side and squatted down and said with a smile: "It's okay, after this beating, each of you will be exempted from two strings of money." But you have to pay fifty cents a month for working here, remember?"
Da Kui is still holding his head in his hands, and his mouth is snorting and hurting, but where can he still speak?
After the red-faced man finished explaining, he stood up and shouted, "Okay, okay, let's go back." ”
A group of strong men scolded and returned to the warehouse, and Da Kui and the others reluctantly got up to look at the stones. There was a cut in the stone's forehead, and the dustpan was covering him with a sweat towel, and the blood was already soaking through the sweat towel.
Da Kui asked the dustpan to carry the stone back to see Langzhong, and he brought the dog leftovers, a broom, and the bench to continue to wait here.
The dogs, the broom, and the bench were holding back the fire in their hearts, but they didn't dare to attack, and then they looked at Da Kui who was still a wreck. was dressed like a beggar, but at the moment he looked at the warehouse with dull eyes but didn't know what he was thinking.
The four of them squatted under the wall of the freight yard and waited all afternoon, and did not wait for the work until dark. In desperation, the four of them helped each other back to their residences, and only when they entered the door did they complain to Da Kui.
I only heard the bench say: "My lord, why am I waiting like this? A dignified seven-foot man can't serve the battlefield but goes to be with the market, but the adult is in a high position but is so willing to ....... Before the bench finished speaking, he was poked by the dog next to him, signaling him not to say more.
Da Kui was walking towards the side room, and when he heard this, he stopped and turned around and asked solemnly, "Is it true that you are willing to fall?" The bench lowered its head.
Da Kui said coldly: "Come in with me." As he spoke, he entered the chamber first, and the dogs, brooms, and benches followed closely behind.
At this moment, the decoction was boiling in the room, and the stones were lying on the Chase bunk, and the dustpan was guarding the side. Seeing Da Kui enter the door, the dustpan hurriedly got up to salute. The stone struggled to get up, but Da Kui hurriedly went over to stop the stone and said, "Rest in peace." ”
Da Kui asked with concern, "What did Lang Zhong say?"
The dustpan said: "Lang Zhong said that it was just a trauma, it's okay!" said and lowered his head. Da Kui could naturally see his grievances with the stone, and looked around at the other three with the same expressions.
Da Kui said solemnly: "You all feel aggrieved, don't you? If you have anything to say now, don't hold it in your heart." ”
Everyone looked at each other, and Gou Yudang spoke first: "My lord, we are all from the military, we are not afraid of bloodshed and death, but today's subordinates can't think about it." ”
Da Kui smiled when he heard this, and everyone couldn't help but feel sorry when they saw Da Kui's expression.
Da Kui smiled: "You and others are all selected from the left and right armies, so let me ask you." What are you joining the army for?"
Gou Yu looked at the rest of the people and said: "In order to drive Yuangou out and let the people live a good life." ”
Da Kui nodded and asked, "Then what are you here to follow this official for?"
Gou Yu replied: "When I came, Brother Tang said that he told us to follow the adults and listen to the adults, and he didn't say anything else. ”
Da Kui smiled and said: "As the political envoy of Jiangnan, this official is responsible for the integrity of hundreds of officials in Jiangnan. Naturally, it is to investigate the bad deeds of corrupt officials and bring to justice the black sheep who have bent the law for bribes. Those who are officials are corrupt, and the people suffer. If we don't rectify the corrupt officials, then what will be the difference between our Ming Dynasty and the Yuan Court?"
Gou Yu and the others looked at each other when they heard this, and they stopped talking.
Da Kui continued: "Don't think that only by fighting for your life is for the country and the people, why don't we do it for the sake of the people?" Da Kui continued: "Yin Panke, the governor of Raozhou, embezzled millions of taels, this does not mean that it is understood if it is captured, and it is necessary to seize his henchmen and dirty silver together. If you don't go deep into the tiger's den, how can you succeed?"
Everyone lowered their heads in shame when they heard this, and Da Kui said again: "I have already made the truth very clear, now I will give you a chance, and the official who is willing to leave will write a letter, you can take it and return to serve in the army, and the official guarantees that General Tang or General Chang will not embarrass you." ”
Everyone looked at each other again, and said in unison: "I am willing to follow the adults and go to the soup and fire." ”
Da Kui laughed and said, "Okay, it's all good." Then Da Kui instructed, "I must comfort everyone tonight and go and prepare food and drink." The official and everyone drank bitterly!" Everyone gave up their hands and took the .......
