Splendid peasant girl busy farming

Chapter 1887 Local Tyrant (Part [-])
Yang Yongjin strode forward like flying, and Chen Jinhong trotted behind, and the two ran towards the pier together.

There are lights hanging on the doorways of shops on both sides of the street. After the weather warms up, there are more people going out to shop at night.

The two walked through the busy street all the way, heading east, gradually leaving the noise behind.

Out of the city, came to the eastern suburbs.

The big river flows from the east of Wanghai County, like a semicircular embrace surrounding Wanghai County.

The port is located in the eastern suburbs, and it is an important port connecting the north and the south and running through the east and west.

Many of the ships traveling from south to north are transited and replenished here, which has driven the economic prosperity of Wanghai County.

"oops!"

Behind him, Chen Jinhong suddenly exclaimed.

Yang Yongjin turned his head and saw that she had fallen down.

"Third siblings, are you okay?"

He quickly ran back, pulled her up, then let go of her hand and stepped aside.

Chen Jinhong leaned over and patted the dust on her knees, shaking her head embarrassingly.

"I'm fine, but my knee is a little bit broken, let's go, second brother, let's hurry up and find Yongzhi," she said.

"Ah."

Yang Yongjin nodded, turned around and walked quickly to the front again, followed by Chen Jinhong.

When the two came near the pier, out of breath, they saw a windproof lantern hanging on a bamboo pole above the pier.

Lemon-yellow light shone down, illuminating the emptiness of the pier, with no one in sight.

"It looks like I'm off work, why didn't Yongzhi go home?"

Chen Jinhong said anxiously, her voice trembling slightly, as if she was about to collapse from worry.

Yang Yongjin didn't say a word, his gaze swept around inch by inch, the pier, the big river, several ships docked at the port, and a row of low houses similar to warehouses on the left.

"The light is still on in that room. It must be that the person guarding the warehouse has not yet fallen asleep. You wait for me here, and I will go and inquire."

He explained to Chen Jinhong, and walked over there quickly.

After a while, he came back.

"How is it, second brother? Did you hear anything?" Chen Jinhong hurried up and asked.

Yang Yongjin shook his head: "If it's dark, I'll be off work."

"But Yongzhi didn't come home..." Chen Jinhong raised her hand to cover her chest and said, "Oh my God, what's going on? I'm so worried..."

Yang Yongjin frowned, and stood by the pier for a moment, "Let's go, go back to the restaurant first, I'll ask a few guys to help me find it."

The two turned around and walked back. Before they had walked a certain distance, three or five men suddenly appeared in the middle of the road ahead.

On the not-so-spacious road, they lined up, blocking the way of Yang Yongjin and Chen Jinhong.

Yang Yongjin stopped abruptly and looked at the men in front of him.

All of them are young, in their early twenties.

Dressed in sloppy clothes, ruffian all over, and each of them held a dick in their hands.

Some were short clubs, some were whips, and one was wielding a bright dagger in his hand.

These people are probably hooligans on the pier?
Yang Yongjin thought to himself, the wharf is full of dragons and snakes.

"Brothers, what do you mean by blocking the way?" Yang Yongjin asked with a vigilant expression.

He took a step back calmly.

Chen Jinhong also saw a few men blocking the way ahead, she screamed in fright, and quickly hid behind Yang Yongjin, too frightened to show her head again.

Holding Yang Yongjin's arm tightly with both hands, his body also leaned over, trembling uncontrollably.

Yang Yongjin was not used to this kind of physical intimacy, so he frowned, and subconsciously wanted to push Chen Jinhong away.

On the opposite side, the leading man spoke.

"What do you mean? You, mother, don't have eyes?"

"Leave the woman and money, get out!" the man said.

"Ah? No, no, second brother save me..."

Chen Jinhong screamed, and hugged Yang Yongjin's arm even tighter, pressing most of her body against it.

I don't know whether it was intentional or not, the pair of balls on his chest rubbed against Yang Yongjin's arms.

This upset Yang Yongjin, so he pushed Chen Jinhong away.

"Third siblings, stay safe and don't be impatient." He lowered his voice.

Then, he stepped forward a few steps, came in front of those people, took a deep breath, suppressed his panic, raised his hands and clenched his fists.

"Several brothers, everyone is out to make a living, it's not easy."

"How about this, I would like to keep all the money on my body, please raise your hands high, don't embarrass us!"

As Yang Yongjin said, he took out three taels of silver from his body, and several hundred coins, and offered them with both hands.

"hiss……"

The men on the opposite side gasped a few breaths, and the air became turbulent.

"This is all my belongings. Brothers, don't feel too small. Let's buy some wine and drink it. It's my treat. I just ask you to let us go." Yang Yongjin said again.

Those people exchanged glances, and then, the man in the lead grabbed Yang Yongjin's money bag and stuffed it into his waist.

Yang Yongjin watched the man's actions nervously, not daring to vent his anger.

After putting away the money bag, the man spat at Yang Yongjin's feet.

"F*ck, do you think it's great to have a few stinky money? Just like the master?"

The man widened his eyes and yelled at Yang Yongjin angrily.

"I……"

As soon as Yang Yongjin opened his mouth, he was cut off.

"What are you?" the man asked.

He raised his finger and pointed at Yang Yongjin's nose: "It's obvious that you have three taels of silver, but you still say it's less? Are you being modest, or are you showing off your wealth in a disguised form of pride?"

"I……"

"What am I?"

"It looks like you're dressed well. You have some money at home, don't you? You're showing off your wealth, aren't you?"

"No, really not..." Yang Yongjin hurriedly explained.

But the other party didn't give him a chance to explain.

"I tell you, even if you are a rich landlord, what can you do?"

"Can money be exchanged for brothers? Can money be exchanged for girls? Can money be exchanged for face? Can money be exchanged for happiness?"

"Brothers, tell him loudly whether he can or cannot!"

"can!"

Behind them, the uniform and loud answers startled the leading man.

He turned around and jumped up, slapping one of the followers on the head hard.

"You're talking nonsense, think about it before answering!"

The little boy covered his head, and said with aggrieved expression: "Brother, we hang out with you, isn't it just for the sake of being popular and drinking spicy food!"

"Ah?" The man in the lead glanced at the others.

Several others nodded.

The man in the lead raised his hand and stroked his bald head, as if he was also thinking about this profound question, and he was very absorbed in thinking about it.

Here, Yang Yongjin's eyes flickered when he saw them like this. Suddenly, he bumped away a nearby person and opened a hole in the road.
