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

Chapter 84: Drooling, Done
"Now, that's the one sitting on the stool."

Li An looked in the direction of Xiwei's finger.

In the open space of the pier almost next to their berth, a man wearing a short shirt was sitting on a long wooden bench.Standing around him were four or five young men with ruffian faces.

"That guy's name is Ah Quan. He often curses at his opponent's coolies on the dock, so I call him Shui Quan in private.

The guy with a mixed prefix was Lao Sijiu from Heyi Hall. After the incident with the big boss Baimen, he lost his territory and took a dozen blue lanterns under his men to occupy a berth at the pier. "

He Yi Tang?
Li An has been at the dock for such a long time and has a little understanding of these societies.

He Yi Tang, with the prefix "和", belongs to the branch of He Liansheng.

There are nearly [-] halls and branches with the word "he" in the entire Hong Kong Island, which means that harmony is the most precious.

However, there are no strict gang rules and regulations among these branches and halls, and there is no distinction between high and low positions.

Obviously they belong to a society, under the banner of peace being the most important thing.On the surface, everything is harmonious, but privately, the various offices and branches are constantly acrimonious and have many disputes.

I have to say it's a bit ironic.

As if aware of Li An's gaze, the man known as Shui Quan turned his head and glanced in Li An's direction.Li An nodded to him, and the man was obviously stunned for a moment. He didn't make any expression, but just withdrew his gaze.

Looking at the drooling back, Li An unconsciously raised the corners of his mouth.

"Are you ready?"

"I contacted many fellow villagers working under him yesterday, and everything has been arranged."

Xiwei lowered his voice and replied.

Then he said with a smile: "Brother An, just wait and see the good show."

"Then it's up to you."

Li An patted Xiwei on the shoulder.

"Shi Jiugong is pretending to be Grouper, and a few young people can also pretend to be the eldest brother. Sooner or later he will be on the street!"

He looked back and cursed in his mouth.

He opened his short shirt, wiped the sweat from his forehead with the hem of his shirt, and put his right foot on the stool.

After taking out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, he glanced casually at the coolies who were carrying the goods on and off the ship.

"You are dragging your feet and have no energy to work? Do you not want the wages anymore?
Why not hurry up! "

Hearing this, the coolies didn't say anything, they just carried the goods silently.However, the pace was a little faster.

Shui Quan then nodded with satisfaction, took out a cigarette, put it in his mouth and lit it.

Near noon.

"Okay, let's take a rest first and take the time to eat." Arima Zai shouted to the coolies.

"Let's go."

Shui Quan stood up and called to Ma Zai beside him to turn around and leave.

"Brother Quan, Brother Quan, wait a minute."

At this time, a man dressed as a coolie shouted and trotted over.

He turned around with his mouth full of saliva, only glanced at the man and said impatiently:
"Speak quickly if you have something to do, don't waste my time."

"Brother Quan."

The man seemed a little nervous. He wiped the sweat from his forehead with his hand and said with a smile:
"Brother Quan, it's like this. I have something to do at home in the afternoon. Do you think you can pay me the wages for the morning?"

After hearing this, Shui Quan moved his eyes to the man's sweaty face and said with a smile:

"You want wages?"

"Yeah." The man nodded quickly.

"Then let's finish our work in the afternoon."

Shui Quan waved his hand, snorted coldly, turned around and walked out of the dock.

The man hurriedly took two steps and ran in front of Shuiquan.

"Brother Quan. I really have something to do this afternoon."

He stopped and looked at the man with a bad tone:
"Are you showing off your brain? That's your own business, none of my business.

Let me tell you the rules. If you want to get paid, then work honestly for the whole day, otherwise you won't get any points.If everyone is like you, working for a long time and then asking me to get paid, then how can I lead people to do things in the future? "

"Just this once, please help me, Brother Quan." The man smiled and stopped in front of Shui Quan.

"Go away!"

Shui Quan pushed the man away impatiently.

But before he could leave, the man came up again.

Among the group of horses who were originally following Shui Shuishen, someone took a step forward and kicked the man to the ground unceremoniously.

"You're deaf! Brother Quan told you to go away, didn't you hear me?"

He almost put his finger on the man's nose and made a nasty sound in his mouth.

"If you follow me again, I'll break your legs."

Unexpectedly, he hasn't finished speaking yet.The coolie who was kicked to the ground by him seemed a little angry. He twisted his fingers, stood up and rushed towards him, throwing him to the ground by surprise.

"I fought with you."

"you wanna die!"

With an angry look on his face, Ma Zai clenched his fist and was about to hit the man in the face.

But what he didn't expect was that the coolie who was pressing on him was so powerful that just one palm of his hand was like an iron pliers, suppressing his hands, making it impossible for him to break free.

Just when he was about to call for help, the coolie on top of him showed a cruel look on his face and punched him in the mouth.

Blood splattered!

Ma Zai couldn't help but groan in pain.

It happened so suddenly.

Not only was he drooling all over him, but even the few horses around him didn't react.

None of them expected that the submissive coolies in the past would suddenly explode and actually dare to take action?
Hearing the cry of pain, Drool came back to his senses. Looking at the little brother who was being beaten by the coolie, his face suddenly darkened.

He quickly yelled at Ma Zai beside him:
"Not yet?"

"oh oh."

Six or seven horsemen rushed forward, kicking them with their feet.

The man just grunted, kept moving his hands, and smashed his fists at Ma Zai under him.

"Bah!"

"You bastards wouldn't have pulled him away first."

Ma Zai, who was pinned down by the man, groaned in pain again and couldn't help shouting.

"Bah!"

Someone kicked Ma Zai crookedly in the face, and his shouting suddenly stopped.

At this time, the coolies who were taking a break from work had not yet left, and the movement here had long attracted their attention.

Suddenly, someone said:

"The one who was beaten seems to be a coolie, right? Should we go over and take a look?"

"Forget it, Coolie Qiang is from Chaozhou, and they are not from the same hometown. Why should we join in the fun?"

The coolies were talking a lot, and many people in the crowd looked at each other.

A tall man stood up.

A fellow countryman was beaten, and he seemed to be unable to suppress his anger.

"It's okay to deduct our wages in normal times, but you still want to beat people? Teach your own people to come out!"

More than a dozen people stood up and cheered.

A group of people rushed over to Shuiquan.

The rest of the coolies also moved forward to watch the excitement.

At the same time, Li An's berth.The coolies also did not leave, gathering together to watch the farce over Shuiquan.

Some coolies approached Wang Shengguang.

"Brother Guang, the one who was slapped with saliva seems to be our fellow countryman."

Wang Shengguang seemed stunned for a moment, and then became furious:
"With his mother's saliva in his mouth, even us Chaozhou people dare to beat him. He doesn't want to live anymore."

Looking at Ma Zai who was beaten almost to death on the ground, Shui Quan shouted angrily:

"Pull him up yet."

After the man who was called a coolie was picked up by two horse boys, he still spat on the ground.

He broke away from the two of them and glared at Shuiquan.

"Saliva, give me your wages!"

"How dare you ask me for wages at this time?"

Shui Quan was so angry that he laughed: "Break his legs and throw him into the sea."

The horse boys smiled ferociously and were ready to take action.

"stop!"

The tall man pushed the mazi in front of him away and rushed up with more than a dozen coolies.

He moved closer to the coolie.

"Brother Qiang, are you okay?"

Coolie shook his head. "What? Rebellion?"

His face was gloomy due to saliva.

"You bastards, without me, there would be nothing for you to eat. Why don't you get out of here?"

But what he didn't expect was that the coolies who usually suffered in silence would not give in and stared straight at him.

At this time, Wang Shengguang came over with about thirty people.

Hearing Shui Quan's words, he sneered and said sarcastically:
"Old mother-in-law! How old are we? I really thought that without you, my fellow villagers would have nothing to eat."

Seeing the unkind eyes of the people brought by Wang Shengguang, Shuiquan finally felt something was wrong.

He frowned.

"Who are you? This doesn't seem to be any of your business, does it?"

"My name is Wang Shengguang. This is really none of my business."

When Wang Shengguang said this, he paused and then changed the topic:
"But if you bully my fellow villagers, that's none of my business."

"you."

"What are you."

Wang Shengguang interrupted Shuquan's words rudely.

Then he looked up and down Shuiquan, and said "Hey" in a teasing tone:

"I seemed to have heard you just now saying that you wanted to break the legs of my fellow villagers and throw them into the sea. Originally, I should have done what you said. But I am a more generous person than you, so even if I break my legs, it would be so cruel. So I just want you to swim in the sea."

The fellow coolies following him gathered around him with evil eyes.

Shui Shui's face changed, and he shouted sternly:
"I am from Heyi Hall, how dare you?"

"I dare you, I'll know if you try it."

Wang Shengguang smiled ferociously and punched the drooling face.

The group of coolies brought behind him pressed on the frightened horse boys in front of him.

In just one face-to-face encounter, Shui Quan and his group were knocked to the ground by the outnumbered coolies.

"Bang! Bang! If you dare to threaten me, I will beat you to death!"

Wang Shengguang pounced on Shui Quan's body and punched Shui Quan's face several times in succession.

A coolie trotted over and said to him:
"The military uniforms will be here soon. Brother An asked us to disperse and go eat first."

"Good luck to you."

Wang Shengguang then gave up, stood up and kicked Shui all over his body.After giving the coolies a wink, he waved to the coolies around him.

"let's go."

Wang Shengguang and others had just left the dock when a large army of military uniforms suddenly poured into the dock.

"Spread out, what are you all doing here?"

"Who told you to stand up and why don't you squat down!"

The soldiers in uniform pulled out the batons from their waists and hit Ma Zai on the man who got up to control the situation.

However, Wang Shengguang and Kuili Qiang who took action had already left, leaving only Shui Quan and his group who were knocked to the ground by them.

"Bring back everyone who fought, everyone."

He Yi held the handle of the gun with his hand and shouted at the top of his lungs.

"Asir, asir."

Blood oozed from the corners of his mouth, his nose was bruised and his face was swollen with saliva as he struggled to get up. He stumbled closer to He Yi with an ugly smile on his face.

"We are the victims."

He Yi glanced at Shui Quan.

"When did you guys with mixed characters become victims?"

"Sir, I really didn't lie to you."

Shui Quan took out a few bills from his pocket and stuffed them into He Yi's shirt pocket.

"When you came to the dock, those people had already run away. Look at the injuries on our bodies. We are really victims. You turned a blind eye and let us run away. I'll treat you to tea another day."

"I told you a few days ago that you guys should be in peace these days. Now, when our police officers turn a deaf ear and dare to fight for territory in front of everyone, how do you want me to help you?"

"No, sir."

"Shut up. If you have anything to do, talk to us at the police station."

He Yi pushed away Shuiquan's hand and waved his hand without any intention of returning the money to him.

"Bring them back."

Military uniforms swarmed up behind them, handcuffed and drooled, and the group walked out of the dock.

"You guys go back to the police station first. I'll be back after I do something."

After these people were put into the car, He Yi took a document bag from the car and walked to the filing booth at Pier [-] with Wei Wen.

Next to the newsstand, Li An was holding a copy of Gu Gu and flipping through it with relish. When he saw He Yi and the others walking over, he put down the tabloid and said to He Yi:

"Thank you, Brother Yi."

"You don't need to be so polite to me, do you?"

He Yi pretended to be angry.

Li An smiled: "It's my fault. I'll treat you to a drink another day?"

"That's what you said."

He Yi nodded with satisfaction, put on a smile again, and handed the document bag in his hand to Li An.

"Hey, there are three fixed license plates for the north and south bounds."

Li An opened the document bag and took a quick look.As if something suddenly occurred to him, he said:
"By the way, Brother Yi, I have three compatriots who just came from the mainland and I want you to help them get their identity documents."

"Just came from the mainland?"

"Any questions?"

"No."

He Yi shook his head and considered:

"But the case in Yuen Long has not passed yet. The immigration office is stricter about people who have recently crossed the sea. Let's wait a few days. I will take the three of them there by then."

"no problem."

Li An nodded calmly.

In fact, Li An also had some doubts about Li Jianjun and the other three.

The three people happened to go ashore in the early morning of the day when the Yuen Long group of snake hunters were killed?
Li Jianjun has joined the army and knows marksmanship.

Is there any reminder from the sky to him?
If you think about it carefully, it is indeed a bit too coincidental.

Li An handed the document bag to the filing clerk for safekeeping and turned to look at the two of them.

"Brother Yi, Awen, let's go and eat first."

Two in the afternoon.

The pier was busy.

But the coolies under Shui Quan gathered together with sad faces.

Now all the saliva has been taken away by the police, along with the horsemen who take stock of the goods and distribute the calculation chips. These coolies can't find anyone who can take charge of the matter even if they want to do something.

The person who is more anxious than the coolies is actually the ship owner manager.

He couldn't keep the freighter parked in the port just because of a mouthful of words.

The shipowner manager came to the coolie and urged:

"Go unload the goods! What are you doing here? You don't need to eat?"

A coolie said:
"Manager, no one is in charge now. How will we settle the wages after unloading the goods?"

"Can't you choose one person to be in charge? After taking inventory of the goods, I will give the payment to the person in charge, and you can divide it up yourself."

The owner-manager seemed a little anxious to get angry.

The coolies only looked at each other a few times, unmoved.

If only it were as simple as the owner-manager said.

Doing things without permission?Split the payment equally?If you really do this, you will definitely find the person in charge to make up the payment after all the saliva comes out.

"Have you decided yet?"

The shipowner manager urged again.

The coolies still shook their heads.

"Manager, how about I arrange for someone to help you unload the cargo on your ship?"

Suddenly, a clear voice sounded from behind him.

The shipowner manager couldn't help but turn around and look at the young man in front of him.

"you are?"

"My name is Li An."

Li An looked at the shipowner manager: "I will arrange the loading and unloading of the goods on your ship. However, the payment for the goods in the morning must be settled together."

"No problem, as long as you tell them to do things quickly."

The shipowner manager agreed without much thought.
