Tianjin Wei, that is, Tianjin in later generations, also known as Tianjin Gate, began with the opening of the Grand Canal in the Sui Dynasty, at the intersection of the South Canal and the North Canal, known as the "Three Seas Meeting" in history!

Due to its unique geographical location and the influx of Western powers, it became one of the largest industrial, commercial, financial and commercial cities in China during this era.

Two days later, at a wharf outside Tianjin, a small wooden boat slowly sailed from the water in the distance, with two people on board, a boatman and a passenger, and the passenger was none other than Lin Tianqi.

"Mr. Lin, it's almost there, there is the tide wharf in front, go ashore, and walk along the road to the wharf to the city. ”

Seeing that he was about to arrive at the dock, the boatman said to Lin Tianqi who was sitting on the boat, the boatman was a middle-aged man who was a little thin, with a dark and sallow complexion, a face full of vicissitudes, and he looked very old.

"Okay, thank you, just get me to shore. Seeing the wharf that was less than 300 meters, Lin Tianqi also walked out of the shed on the ship, took out a piece of the ocean with a face value and handed it to the boatman: "I've worked hard for you all the way, this is the boat fare, don't look for it." ”

This boat lady is very good, she is very enthusiastic along the way, Lin Tianqi asked a lot about the situation and things of Tianjin Wei, and the boatman basically told Lin Tianqi one by one, he must answer all questions, and his attitude is very good, so Lin Tianqi directly gave him a piece of the ocean, anyway, for him now, there is Bai Ji, the rich woman at home, and the money is completely a number.

However, a piece of ocean is an insignificant small number for Lin Tianqi, and for the boatman, it is a lot of money, which is worth several days' income.

"Thank you Mr. Lin, thank you Mr. Lin....."

The boatman immediately thanked him with gratitude, originally saw that Lin Tianqi had an extraordinary temperament, and guessed that Lin Tianqi's identity was not simple, so he was polite to Lin Tianqi all the way, and at this moment, seeing that Lin Tianqi was also generous, he was even more enthusiastic, Lin Tianqi bowed slightly when he heard this, but he didn't pay much attention to the boatman, but looked at the direction of the dock and the Tianjin Wei in the dock.

Standing on the boat, as far as the eye can see, you can only see the dock in front, and you can't see the rest of Tianjin Wei in the distance, but even if you can only see the dock in front, it also makes Lin Tianqi feel the prosperity of Tianjin Wei in this era, which is far from being comparable to the places in Ningcheng and Los Angeles that he has been to before.

Fishermen, goods workers, passing merchants, and beautifully dressed Miss Tianjin, although it is only a small wharf, but all kinds of people are already all over the wharf, coming and going, and even Lin Tianqi saw a few blonde and blue-eyed oceanhorses and a few foreigners dressed as nobles passing by on the wharf in an open-air carriage.

Lin Tianqi also looked at those big Yanmars more, with big breasts, big butts, long legs, and big Yanmars, but they looked average, which was a bit minus.

But soon, Lin Tianqi noticed that somewhere on the dock, many people gathered together and formed a circle, and inside these people, it seemed that there seemed to be a person lying on the ground.

Dead?

Lin Tianqi looked there, and the boatman also obviously noticed the movement over there, his expression changed slightly, and the speed of rowing accelerated a little.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way, the tide luck errands, idle people, etc., get out of the way for me....."

Soon, a group of more than thirty people dressed in black and dressed as a gang with axes in their hands came from the stairs on the dock and rushed into the crowd quickly.

The people who had gathered saw the arrival of this group of people also avoided both sides one after another, not daring to approach, and the situation in the open space that was originally surrounded by the crowd was also revealed, and it was the body of a middle-aged man lying on the ground, with a long blood mark on his neck, the corpse was pale and swollen, and the land where he was lying was also full of water.

"Who are these?" Lin Tianqi couldn't help but ask the boatman curiously.

"This is the person of Chaoyun, and the one who leads the way is Li Si, the number one thug of Chaoyun, and this dock is under the management of Chaoyun. ”

The boatman said, and when he spoke, his expression was full of jealousy and fear.

"I don't know how that person should have died, but if it happened here, the people of Chaoyun will definitely care. ”

Lin Tianqi bowed slightly, didn't say more, and roughly had the bottom in his heart, tide luck, it should be the gang here, Lin Tianqi glanced at that Li Si more, at this time, another pair of people walked down the stairs on the dock, more than 20 people, dressed differently, but the same thing is that they have a white cloth wrapped around their arms and short knives in their hands.

"The people of the three congregations, it seems that this time things are not simple. ”

Seeing this group of people appear, the boatman's face changed again.

"The Three Churches, also a gang here?"

Lin Tianqi asked the boatman, who nodded.

"Chaoyun and Santanghui are both big gangs in our Jinmen, but they are in charge of different places, these gangs have their own spheres of influence, like this Chaoyun wharf, which is Chaoyun, and Santanghui is in charge of the dock over Sanhuikou, generally these gangs are well water on weekdays and do not violate the river water, this time the people of the Santang Association brought people over, and look at the posture, this time the problem is not small, it is not good that the two gangs will fight. ”

The boatman spoke to Lin Tianqi, and from the previous conversation, he already knew that Lin Tianqi had just come to Tianjin and was not a native of Tianjin, so it was normal for him to not understand Chaoyun and the Three Halls.

While the two were talking, the two teams of people over there had already faced each other.

"Mr. Lin, these gangs are not so hot, you should be careful, it's better not to join in the fun, be careful not to get involved. ”

After a while, the boat docked, and when Lin Tianqi got off the boat, the boatman warned Lin Tianqi again, worried that Lin Tianqi would be curious to join in the fun and cause trouble, as a native of Jinmen, he knew very well that these gangs were ruthless characters, and they killed people without blinking, and if they were involved, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"Okay, I'll be careful, thanks. ”

Lin Tianqi thanked the boatman, although the boatman's reminder was dispensable to him, but after all, it was the kindness of others, and Lin Tianqi was not stingy with a word of gratitude, this is his character and standard of doing things, others give him respect, and he will respect him in return.

The boatman also nodded when he heard this, and without saying anything more, he sent Lin Tianqi ashore and drove away in the boat.

Watching the boatman leave, Lin Tianqi's eyes looked at Chaoyun and Santanghui again, thought about it, and walked over!

At this moment, the empty space of the dock was already only the people of Chaoyun and the Three Churches, and the corpse was in the middle of the two gangs.

The people who watched the excitement retreated far away to a few dozen meters away, not daring to approach, for fear of being dragged by the two gangs.

Lin Tianqi also came to the crowd and stood on a high place.

The leader of the Three Churches is called Chen Laoqi, a middle-aged man who looks relatively thin and short, with long hair, but no one present except for those who don't know him dares to look down on him because he is small, because everyone who knows Chen Laoqi knows that although this person is not the number one thug of the Three Churches, he is the most dangerous, and he is ruthless and vicious, and he never shows mercy.

"Li Si, you give me an explanation, why our three congregations died here, is it your tide luck. ”

In the open space, the two gangs confronted each other, and Chen Laoqi pointed a knife at Li Si and shouted, with a fierce look on his face.

"Fuck your shit, blame us for the death of the people of your three churches, fuck you, what kind of reasoning is this, planting!"

Li Si also didn't let it go at all, raised the axe in his hand, and pointed at Chen Laoqi.

The two argued and confronted each other, Lin Tianqi stood on the side of the crowd, heard the conversation between the two sides, and roughly understood the cause of the matter, the middle-aged man who died was a member of the Three Churches, with a fatal wound on his body, he killed, and the body was found in this pier, and this pier is the place of Chaoyun, so the people from the Three Churches brought people over, suspecting that it was the people of Chaoyun who did it.

"Old man Chen, don't talk about it without evidence. ”

Li Si pointed at Chen Laoqi and shouted, not admitting that the people were killed by their tide.

"I don't have any evidence, but the person found it on the dock of your tide luck, and if you don't give an explanation today, this matter will not be over. ”

Chen Laoqi did not give an inch, and behind him, more than 20 people from the three churches also showed the short knives in their hands one after another, and they had a fierce posture.

"Chen Laoqi, you want to do it, okay, I'll accompany you to the end today, who instigates whose grandson...."

Li Si also seemed to be on fire, looking at the people of the three halls behind Chen Laoqi, they also shouted, and the people behind him also lit up the axes in their hands.

In an instant, the saber rattling, and the people watching the excitement from a distance all changed their faces slightly when they saw this scene, and many people began to retreat!

But at this moment, on the stairs above the dock, there was another commotion, and it was vaguely seen that another group of people and horses were coming this way, and there were still a lot of people in the posture.

Immediately afterwards, another person rushed out from above and ran to the side of Chaoyun Li Si below and reported in a low voice.

"Fourth brother, Miss Dajiang Gang brought someone here. ”

"Miss Oe Gang. ”

Li Si, who was arguing with Chen Laoqi, immediately changed his face when he heard this, and so did Chen Laoqi who was opposite him.

Obviously, the identity of this Miss Dajiang Gang is extraordinary, which makes both of them a little jealous.
