However, no matter whether they were begging for mercy or admitting defeat, as long as the members of the Sha Gang were still standing in a daze with sticks in their hands, they would all be slapped in the stomach with a stick and fall to the ground wailing.
Everyone thought that these ruthless people might have lost their temper and didn't know how to stop.
Some smart people discovered that as long as they threw away their weapons and squatted down, these people would ignore them and they would not be beaten again. Only then did they react.
When he threw away the stick and squatted down with his head in his hands, he didn't forget to quickly remind his relatives and friends around him.
"Lao San, Lao San, squat down quickly and throw away the stick."
"Second brother, second brother, squat down, put your hands on your head and they won't fight."
There was also a person who was slow to respond. After hearing the greeting, he still stood still in a daze. When he saw those stupid young people rushing towards him, a person beside him who didn't know whether he was a relative or a friend became anxious and rushed forward to choke him. His shoulders and feet threw the man to the ground.
"Brother, why did you hit me?" When the stupid man was still confused, he saw those people walking past them. Those pewter poles that I usually don’t pay attention to when I see them, but today are heartbreaking and will be remembered for a lifetime, no longer poked at me, but passed by my eyes one after another.
A large but not fierce fight at the pier ended in a short period of time. When the policemen from the patrol room who were about to pull the trigger arrived at the scene, they only saw a group of people gathered in a loose circle. Stand casually. Others lit cigarettes and smoked them as if nothing happened.
But in the dark circle were hundreds of people squatting or lying down, and a young man in a suit was telling everyone something with a smile on his face.
Several patrol officers were dumbfounded. What was going on?
Didn't it mean that the Sha Gang sent out hundreds of people? Didn't we just agree that we and the others would just come over to meet the occasion, give the outsiders who were beaten a warning, and then extort some money or something and that would be the end of it?
Why are you now an outsider holding a meeting for the Sha Gang people?
At this time, one of Uncle Wan's men came over and asked with a smile on his face: "Are you brothers from Hongkou? You Inspector Lu and our brother Ming Zheng are brothers, so we are not outsiders. This The dock was taken over by our Mr.
This subordinate was also a master of trouble, using both soft and hard tactics, revealing his identity as a member of the Youth Gang, but he was also very polite and even handed over a few cigarettes.
Upon hearing this, several patrol officers knew that the other party was from the Qing Gang, and immediately gave up their thoughts of extortion. They quickly put on smiles, took the cigarette from the other party, and started chatting with the Qing Gang disciple. He ignored the somewhat weird conference not far away.
Just kidding, when you hear the names given by this Youth Gang disciple, none of them are famous names in Shanghai.
Brother Ming Zheng is the number one general under Mr. Du. He speaks on Mr. Du's behalf when he comes out. No one dares to look down upon him. Even his little shrimps can only nod and bow when they see him.
And that Mr. Xie is even more remarkable. He is Mr. Du's younger brother, and he is also considered a high-ranking figure in the Qinggang. I and the others were so incommunicado that they didn't even know that Mr. Xie had bought Fengyu Pier. Who knew who was so full that he would take a dip in this muddy water?
At this moment, the voice of the young master in the distance came over.
"I also know that everyone's life is not easy, and the whole family depends on this pier to make a living. So we will not refuse the original workers to help on the pier. It's just that doing the work of our Yangtze River Company means eating at the expense of our Yangtze River Company. Of course, you must abide by the rules of our Yangtze River Company."
"When our business opens in a few days, everyone can come and take a look, and notices for recruitment will be posted on several electric poles at the pier. As for who we recruit, who we want to hire, and who we don't, that's our business. , whoever wants to gather a crowd to cause trouble again will not be a petty quarrel like today. Broken arms and legs are minor, but don’t blame me for not warning you in advance."
Having said this, Zhou Wen turned to look at Zuo Qing, who was squatting and rubbing his belly, with the pain on his face not completely gone, and said: "Master Qing, you just made a statement in front of everyone, right? Are you willing to admit defeat?"
Zuo Qing stood up with difficulty, grinned, showed an ugly smile to Zhou Wen, bowed his waist and said: "This young master, I can't afford to be in front of you, so you can just call me the villain Lao Qing. Today, the villain I am completely convinced, not only by the bravery of Young Master and his subordinates, but also by Young Master’s benevolence and righteousness.”
At this point, Zuo Qing sighed and said: "Alas! We are all relying on the dock to make a living. If it is not to save the livelihood of the whole family, who is willing to gather together to make trouble? I just hope that the young master will take pity on us who have no ability. The coolies, who can only rely on their own strength to make a living, can enjoy the food and don’t dare to cause trouble anymore.”
Zhou Wen knew that although Zuo Qing did not dare to cause trouble anymore, he was trying to tie him up with words. He wished that he had agreed to recruit all the original dock workers back on the spot.
But this man still spoke for many dock workers, and he was considered a somewhat considerate elder brother, so he stopped arguing with him. He turned to Zhang Xiaoping and said, "Bring it here."
But they saw Zhang Xiaoping and Ti Jing each holding a canvas bag in their hands. They stepped forward and opened the canvas bag, revealing the shining silver ocean inside.
When the gang members looked at the two large bags of silver dollars, they became a little commotion, and some people even whispered, wondering whether the young master took out so many oceans to show off or to reward those ruthless men.
Zhou Wen took out a few pieces of ocean from his bag and played with them. The clanking sound made people feel itchy. Then he said with a smile: "Today is actually a happy day. Our Yangtze River Company took over Fengyu Terminal today. Although it has not yet opened, we finally have our own industrial site. We were going to celebrate it."
"But what?" At this point, Zhou Wen glanced at the Sha Gang members present with a hint of blame, making everyone lower their heads in shame and not dare to look into his eyes.
"Although some conflicts broke out between the two sides, they were finally controlled within a reasonable range. No one was seriously injured, and no one was killed, so there was no deep hatred, everyone, right?"
After hearing Zhou Wen's question, these sand gang workers looked at me and I looked at you, but they didn't dare to say anything and didn't know how to reply.
Zhou Wen glanced at everyone with disappointment, shook his head regretfully and said, "Since no one is talking, it means that everyone still can't let go of this matter, which is a pity."
As he spoke, he put the silver dollar in his hand into the cloth bag and looked like he was about to turn around and leave if he didn't agree with what he said.
