Hong Kong Comprehensive: Who said that those who practice martial arts have no money?

Chapter 65 Solve the person who created the problem

"Dawei, Xiwei, and Yaqi, please help at the newspaper booth first, and I'll follow you to take a look."

Seeing Li An leaving the newspaper stall, Wu Shihao thought for a moment, informed the three of them, and turned to follow Li An.

When the two of them arrived at the dock one after another, Li An looked around. Except for the workers who came one after another to start work, he did not see Sanjiang Shui.

"It's still early now, let's go to the pergola and wait."

Wu Shihao said that his senior brother was fine, so Li An wouldn't be anxious.

Sanjiangshui didn't come, so he called Wu Shihao to the shed.

He randomly pulled a stool and sat down, Wu Shihao sat opposite him and said:
"Last night when I invited my fellow countrymen to eat supper, I hinted that if I can snatch Fat Pig's position at Pier No. [-], I won't ask them to draw water after work starts. As long as they work hard, they will get paid as much as they do."

Li An hummed and asked casually: "Then how did they react?"

Wu Shihao took the words:

"Of course it's no problem! I'm following Brother Shui to make a living with you. You also know that as far as Brother Shui's name is concerned, all the coolies on the dock have heard of it. I don't even need to mention it. The fellow villagers who had enough to eat agreed.”

What he said was elated.

To put it bluntly, today is a dark age where corruption is prevalent.

It is not only the poor who are greedy for money, but corruption is common in all walks of life.

Even if you go to the hospital to give birth, there are no benefits or even a basin of hot water.
As long as you are willing to give money, you can buy anything, whether it is a job, a contract, convenience, rights, or even freedom.

Naturally, the dock coolies at the bottom became the targets of exploitation by associations and foremen.

Therefore, compared to the coolies who work under other foremen, who have to pay [-]% to [-]% of their wages for a hard day's work, Sanjiangshui, a foreman who never exploits, is like an outlier.

Thanks to the reputation of Sanjiang Water, Wu Shihao only slightly expressed his intention to start construction on the wharf, and the fellow villagers readily agreed.

It wasn't until the pier started construction that Li An couldn't wait impatiently, only then did he see Sanjiangshui come to the pier calmly.

"A'an, Ahao, you have nothing to do. Do you have time to sit here?"

When San Jiangshui walked into the shed, Li An saw that his face was a little pale, and couldn't help asking:

"Brother, why do you look so bad? Are you injured?"

As he spoke, he did not forget to look up and down the Sanjiang River for a while.

"No, just a few rotten fish and rotten tomatoes, how could your brother be injured?"

Sanjiangshui smiled, pulled a stool and sat next to Li An.

curled his lips and complained:

"Isn't it Li Zhengtao who hit the street, he dragged me to the bar street in Wanchai in the early morning, and came to the pier from Wanchai after drinking until dawn. He didn't sleep all night, so he naturally lost his energy."

"Is it really just drinking?"

Li An blinked and his tone was teasing.

As soon as Sanjiang Shui sat next to him, Li An smelled the strong smell of rouge perfume, but he didn't smell the slightest bit of wine.

Sanjiangshui coughed twice, as if choking on saliva, looked at Li An:

"Then what do you think?"

Sanjiang Shui is an adult and it is normal to have fun.

Li An wouldn't be so blind to ask the bottom line, and said with a smile:
"It's nothing. Senior brother said he drank all night, so he just drank all night."

"What do you mean."

"Senior brother said he should drink alcohol, so I must believe him."

Seeing the unyielding attitude of Sanjiangshui, Li An quickly interrupted and got down to business:

"Brother, what happened to Dakouying last night?"

Sanjiangshui glanced at Li An, and after a while, said:

".What can happen? It's not that his boss is coming out.

Although Dongfuhe is a small club, Dakouying has been the master for so many years, and he pockets all the money he makes, so it is logical that he takes Dongfuhe as his initials.

Now with Bai Duo alone sitting on top of his head, how could he be reconciled?

According to the rules of the rivers and lakes, if you do it yourself, you will leave behind the words of deceiving the master and destroying the ancestors.Hei Xinhua just offered to help him deal with his boss, so he naturally wanted it, and killing me was Hei Xinhua's condition.

As everyone knows, he is just cannon fodder, otherwise Hei Xinhua would have appeared last night. "

Li An thought for a while and asked, "What does senior brother plan to do?"

"It's disrespectful to come and not go back." Sanjiang Shui muttered:
"Didn't Ah Hao say that the fat guy won't let us do business at Pier [-]? Since Hei Xinhua takes action, he doesn't have to do business at Pier [-]."

"Leave it to me, Brother Hao and I will take care of them." Li An said seriously.

Wu Shihao, who has been silent all this time, hastily answered:
"There are only about ten people on the pier, Fat Bo. It's no problem for An and I."

San Jiangshui didn't speak, just looked at Li An.

In his heart, Li An is a young junior, although he is good at martial arts, San Jiangshui is not happy to let him participate in these battles prematurely.

"Brother, you're not worried that I won't be able to handle it, are you?" Li An said intentionally.

Unexpectedly, Sanjiangshui simply nodded.

Li An coughed lightly and said boldly:

"Senior brother, to be honest, I can deal with Fat Bo Lao alone."

He looked at his senior brother:
"How about we try it?"

San Jiangshui pondered for a while, got up and said:
"Okay."

The two walked out of the pergola.

Sanjiangshui made a gesture.

"I haven't competed with you for a long time. Today is just a good time to see if your kung fu has improved."

Li An chuckled: "Guaranteed to surprise my brother."

"Then I'll take a look."

San Jiangshui stepped forward, and an overlord's salute hit Li An's chest.

Li An calmly took a stance, and just when his fist was about to hit, he moved his left hand to suppress Sanjiang Shui's fist, and stretched his right hand straight forward, heading straight for Sanjiang Shui's front!
"Bagua Palm!"

San Jiangshui was very surprised, he withdrew his fist and dodged.

However, Li An stepped closer and poked Sanjiang Shui's chest with Liangyi's elbow.When Sanjiang Shuijia was blocking with his elbow, his left hand turned into a palm and clasped directly towards his neck.

Unprepared, with just two moves, Sanjiang Shui was forced to retreat one after another.

Li An just quits when he feels good and stops at the right time.He said with a smile:

"Brother, it's all right now."

Sanjiangshui didn't answer Li An's question, but circled around him twice.

He said inconceivably, "When did you learn Baguazhang? Also, how did your strength improve so quickly?"

Li An said perfunctorily: "Oh, I learned two moves from my senior sister some time ago."

"As promised, Fatty, I will help you settle the matter."

Seeing that Sanjiang Shui wanted to continue questioning, Li An dropped this sentence, pulled Wu Shihao and left.

"You call Ajie to come with you." Sanjiang Shui shouted.

"Know it."

When he came to the filing, Wu Shihao leaned over to Li An and whispered:

"I'm going to call some fellow countrymen and go to Pier [-] together."

Li An waved his hand: "Don't worry, we'll do it when the work is done."

Wu Shihao was puzzled and said:

"why?"

Li An considered it carefully:
"Why don't you alert the enemy? Since we want to solve the problem, let's get rid of the person who caused the problem. Otherwise, let him continue to cause us trouble?"

"You mean Hei Xinhua?" Wu Shihao was shocked.

Li An glanced at him and joked: "Don't you dare?"

".That's not true."

05:30 in the afternoon.

Pier six.

"next."

The fat man sat in front of the table with great dignity and shouted to the coolies who were lining up opposite to collect their wages.

When the coolie came forward, Sijiu on the side spoke:
"What's your name? How many of them are in charge?"

"Li Youcai. Ten." The shirtless coolie put the counting chips on the table.

"Ten, ten or ten means eight."

Fat Bo took the counting chip, counted the amount, and recorded it in the ledger with a pen.

Muttering:

"Li Youcai, um, give him one dollar and six."

The coolie seemed accustomed to it and took the money and turned away without saying a word.

"next."

"Wang Shengguang, sixteen counts."

Fat Bo looked at the coolie in black trousers in surprise, and said with a smile:
"New here? He's quite strong, not bad."

Lower your head and record:
"Wang Shengguang, ten chips count, give him two dollars."

"Brother Bo, did you make a mistake in your calculation? If you count sixteen and get [-]% of the chips, you should give me two dollars and fifty-six cents." The coolie said unconvinced.

The fat guy glanced at him:
"Do you know the rules? You don't know about the protection fee. Naturally, newcomers will have to pay more."

Si Jiu dropped a two-dollar coin on the table.

"Take the money and get out of here! Don't want it? You don't have to come over tomorrow."

"next."

"."

Pay the wages.

After finishing the accounting, the fat man stood up and stretched.

He lit a cigarette, bit it in his mouth, and greeted Sijiu who was standing aside:
"It's time for work, everyone gets three yuan, so what should I do?"

"Thank you Bogo."

Seven or eight forty-nine people gathered around laughing, grabbed the money on the table, and left arm in arm.

The fat guy stopped for a while.

The Dongfuhe Smoke House was burned last night, and the newspaper reported that Lian Gong Le, who was arrested, and his boss asked the younger brother to remind him to pay attention to Sanjiangshui.

Let the fat man know clearly that the matter is not as reported on the dock, but that Dong Fuhe has offended Sanjiang Shui.

They, Lian Gong Le, seemed to be involved.

Because he was worried about Sanjiang Shui coming to the dock to cause trouble, Fat Bo Lao was on guard for most of the day.

It wasn't until the work was over that there was no one on the dock and no movement was seen from the other party. Only then did the fat man relax his vigilance slightly.

Feeling uneasy, he just wanted to go to Brother Hua to ask about what happened last night.

"Let's go to Brother Hua."

The fat guy threw down his cigarette butt, puffed out two pillars of smoke from his nose, and turned around to leave.

The four horsemen behind him followed cautiously.

The wonton stall next to the entrance and exit of Pier No. [-].

The hot air drifted away, and Li An picked up the big bowl in front of him and was devouring it hungrily.

A man dressed as a coolie trotted over, leaned into the ear of Wu Shihao, who was at the same table, whispered a few words, and then trotted away.

"A'an, the fat bok will be here soon."

Hearing this, Li An put down the bowl and chopsticks.

"How many people did you bring?"

"Just four horse boys." Wu Shihao responded in a low voice.

"It's better if there are fewer people. You go to the front to prepare."

Li An said softly.

Wu Shihao nodded, got up and left.

"Boss, how much is it?"

"Two bowls, one yuan."

"Give."

After Li An handed a coin to the boss, he did not leave in a hurry. Instead, he sat at the table and looked at the entrance of the pier with his peripheral vision.

Didn't have long to wait.

Seeing Fat Bo Lao walk out of the pier with four expressionless horse boys, Li An got up and followed behind him unhurriedly.

Suddenly, two rickshaw drivers approached. When they saw Fei Bo Lao and his party, they stopped quickly and said with a smile:

"Boss, do you want to take a car?"

"No."

The fat man glanced at them warily, then walked forward.

"It's almost time to call it a day, so it's cheaper for you, boss." The coachman continued.

A horse boy stepped forward, viciously:

"You're deaf. I told you not to do it anymore. I told you to stay away."

"If you don't sit, don't sit, why are you scolding people?"

Two coachmen stopped in front of them reluctantly.

Seeing this, Li An, who was following behind, switched from three steps to one step, and rushed forward.

At this time, no matter how dull he was, Fat Bo Guy realized something was wrong.

But before he could make a sound, Li An suddenly appeared in front of him with a cold face. His palm pierced down and hit his face, directly making him lose consciousness.

The sudden appearance of this scene made Ma Zai, who was about to fight the coachman, stunned for a moment.

"Bogo!"

Just for a moment of stupefaction, Li An twisted his waist, and the tip of his elbow was like a knife's edge, directly poking Ma Zai's chest beside him.

A clear crack sounded.

In the blink of an eye, two of the five members of Fat Bo's group fell.

At the same time, the four of Wu Shihao, who were pretending to be diners, immediately jumped up, carrying wooden sticks, and went straight to the three boys who were being entangled by the coachman.

The wooden sticks rained down on the three of them.

Soon, the three horse boys were knocked to the ground.

Li An showed no mercy. Seeing the opportunity, he kicked the three people in the neck with his right foot one after another, making them lose the ability to resist.

"Leave them in the car and take them away."

"Oh, oh, good."

Seemingly surprised by Li An's crispness, Wu Shihao responded quickly.

Several people joined hands and threw the fat guy and his group who had fallen on the ground into the back seats of two rickshaws, pulled up the awning, and left quickly.
