Chapter 13 A strange scene (please read it!)
When Yang Fang and the two rushed to the dock, they saw that basically all the coolies and boatmen were almost here on the dock.
Even the people who were whipped with him last time all arrived, and they were talking among themselves.
On the wooden board at the front.
Manager Cheng had a cold expression on his face, holding a thick black whip with his hands behind his back. His sharp eyes swept over everyone. When he realized that everyone was here, Manager Cheng nodded lightly with satisfaction.
Does he really think there are people who dare not come?
“Okay, everyone, calm down!”
Manager Cheng suddenly shouted, his voice echoing in everyone's ears, and said, "We are not unloading the goods today. There is another task for you. You have to follow me out of the city. However, due to the possible danger factors outside the city, , so after arriving outside the city, everyone’s wages will be doubled, and they can receive 80 cash a day, and if you perform well, you can even get 100 cash!”
Wow!
All the coolies and boatmen were in an uproar.
Everyone looked at each other.
Going out of the city?
“Isn’t eighty coins too little? I heard that it is extremely dangerous outside the city. Not only are there all kinds of poisonous insects and beasts, but there are also many evil spirits wandering around, which can kill people tragically at any time!”
“Yes, Manager Cheng, these eighty cents are too little. I can’t do it. My whole family is counting on me, just in case something bad happens.”
“Yes, this is too dangerous.”
Manager Cheng's face darkened, showing displeasure.
In a pleasure boat behind him.
A young master frowned, his eyes turned cold, and he looked outside, "The man named Cheng ruined my good deeds. The one tael of silver I gave each person turned into 80 yuan when he got it. Does he want to die? Tell him Cheng’s, no deductions allowed!”
Fortunately, he came here in person this time.
Otherwise this important matter would have been ruined by this steward.
“Yes, sir!”
An old man next to him nodded immediately, walked out of the cabin, jumped directly, rushed across the water at an extremely fast speed, climbed onto the water, crossed more than ten meters, and landed on the dock deck.
Manager Cheng's expression changed when he was about to scold him, and he immediately stepped forward to salute honestly.
“Mr. Qiu, why are you here?”
“Cheng Feng, you really don’t know whether to live or die.”
The old man's tone was cold and he didn't save any face for Manager Cheng.
He has a tall body and slender arms that can reach past his knees. All ten fingers are covered with thick calluses. He is wearing a black gown. You can tell at a glance that he is very skilled in his skills.
"Young master gave me one tael of silver per person, why did it turn into eighty cents per person when you arrived? Do you want to die? It's okay to withhold money in normal times, but in the face of such a big event, you dare to withhold money?"
The old man's tone was cold.
Manager Cheng trembled with fright and quickly knelt down on the ground, banging his head and kowtowing. His face turned pale and he was extremely frightened, "Mr. Qiu, please forgive me, I was just confused for a moment!"
"Okay, get up. How many people are here?"
The old man said coldly.
“A total of 68 people, all arrived.”
Guanshi Cheng spoke quickly.
The old man looked directly at the crowd and shouted, "This time our Sanhe Gang has something to do and we have to go outside the city. Anyone who is willing to follow us will get one tael of silver each. If you perform well, you can even get two taels. Now Anyone who is willing to follow us should step forward!"
The crowd was in an uproar again.
One tael of silver?
This is undoubtedly a huge amount of money.
They only have 10 cents a day.
Have to work for 100 days without eating or drinking to save one tael.
In the end, you only get one or two once you go there?
But some people still feel something is wrong.
This money is given too easily.
Immediately, many people started shouting again.
"enough!"
The old man suddenly shouted, with a stern tone, "Who do we think the Sanhe Gang is? Do you come and leave whenever you want? From the first day you worked here, you have been branded as the Sanhe Gang. , Once you are a member of the Sanhe Gang, you will always be a Sanhe Gang. This time, I will give each of you one tael of silver. Are you still not satisfied? Do you want to seek death? Besides, there will be no danger at all when you leave the city this time. I just let you eat, drink and have fun. That’s fine. If you play well, you’ll get extra rewards. I don’t want to do this. Do you want to toast me instead of having to eat as a penalty?”
Click!
He stepped hard with the sole of his foot, and the whole floor shook violently, with large cracks appearing.
Everyone's expressions changed, they all fell silent, and their hair stood on end.
Three Rivers Gang really kills people without blinking an eye.
“Everyone get on board now and get ready to leave the city!”
The old man's tone was indifferent and he stared at everyone directly.
All the coolies and boatmen immediately walked towards the big ship on one side, silently.
Yang Fang also had a change of heart.
has a problem!
There is definitely a problem with going out of the city this time.
He cursed secretly in his heart, feeling deeply powerless again.
But if he hadn’t come before, he would have suffered the same fate.
In the final analysis, he has ignored the nature of this world, which is a society with strong feudal overtones. Although he is just a coolie at the dock, it does not mean that he can completely break away from the dock.
Just like his ancient predecessors.
He remembers that in history, there was a long-term worker in a landlord's house who worked for the landlord's house for his entire life just because he picked some vegetables from the landlord's house.
How similar it is to this world!
The huge sailboat sailed toward the distance, flowing along the river, and drove for most of a day before finally arriving at an area outside the city.
It's just that after arriving here, the sailboat did not dock, but stopped in the middle of the water.
Not only that, three other tower ships suddenly appeared in front of them.
On the boat, the flags were all written with the three **** characters of "Sanhe Gang".
The strange thing is that there are very few ordinary disciples on these three buildings. Most of them are elders with indifferent faces and gorgeous clothes. They are at least thirty years old and above.
Such a scene made everyone more and more confused.
Not long after, Manager Cheng sailed over in a small boat, shouted to Yang Fang and others, and said, "Come down, a group of people, bring all the food and drink. From today on, you will live on this big boat. No one is allowed to get off the ship without orders, I will personally deliver all the food and drinks, so get off quickly!"
The coolies were shocked and even more puzzled.
Good guy!
He actually asked Manager Cheng to deliver food to them personally.
What the **** is the Sanhe Gang doing?
Soon seven or eight coolies got off the boat and began to load food from the boat.
These foods include wine and meat, and are delicious, making everyone salivate.
Many coolies can hardly stand the smell alone.
They have never eaten meat many times in their lives, let alone good wine.
“Yang Fang, the Sanhe Gang is really kind this time. Not only did they give money, but they also brought so many delicious food.”
Beside him, Wang Hai wiped his saliva and stared closely at the wine and meat being brought up.
Yang Fang was frightened and confused, and felt something was wrong even more.
Why does he have the feeling that the Sanhe Gang is experimenting on them?
Or, are you using them as bait?
He quickly looked towards both sides of the ship.
But after looking around, I can’t see the problem.
Yang Fang's head was beating and he was getting more and more uneasy.
