Myriad Paths

Li Qi and Uncle Six immediately interrupted the conversation and rushed out.

But he saw that the trackers outside were surrounding a strong man, and there seemed to be a conflict between the two sides.

The violent explosion just now was the sound of smashing wooden boards.

Seeing this, Uncle Six frowned, then stopped Li Qi who was about to go out, and said: "Although the officials don't care, let's not be too arrogant. I'll go see what's going on first. Don't come forward. I'll do it later." It’s hard to save face.”

After Sixth Uncle said so, Li Qi stopped temporarily and watched from a distance.

When Uncle Six walked over, the trackers who were originally excited also stopped.

Uncle Six was the talker of the Paibo Gang, and his words were useful, so everyone stopped.

Uncle Six walked to the front of the crowd surrounded by trackers. Looking at the tall and well-proportioned middle-aged man in front of him, he couldn't help showing a puzzled expression.

"Zhang Caitou, what do you mean? Our Paibo Gang has no grievances against you, but when you come up, you hit people and smash doors. Do you really think we have no temper? Why don't you give me an explanation today! Your Vegetable stalls, don't even think about transporting goods from the Lishui River in the future!" Uncle Liu stepped forward. Although he was a little shorter than Zhang Caitou, he was not short. He walked up to the person and pointed at his nose.

"Hey, the Paibo Gang destroyed the Lizhuang Gang last time. You lost your temper, and you still want to get stuck in my food stall?" Zhang Caitou crossed his arms, not nervous at all: "Haha, I thought you were a boat gang, how come you A tracker who helps the boat gang to haul boats dares to talk to me like this? How dare he refuse to pick up my boat? Do you think the boat gang can spare you?"

He is not afraid at all. After all, when boats come and go in the Lishui River, the ones who really have the final say are the dozen boat gangs and docks. These are the people who can control the operation of the boats.

Other boatmen, boatmen, sailors, laborers, trackers, these gangs all work for them.

At the top of the boat gang is the water transport envoy, who is a serious official! Anyone who can speak well in the city can change the gang below with just one word.

Therefore, Zhang Caitou is not afraid of threats to his vegetable boat.

"I don't dare not accept your order, but I can make you overturn five out of ten! You are just a vegetable, selling vegetables from the East Market. If you really end up like this, do you think your stall can spare you?" !?" Uncle Six put his hands on his hips and continued to curse.

Li Qi listened beside him and gradually understood the situation.

What is Zhang Caitou doing here looking for trouble?

According to the rules of the lower class in Lizhou City, the gang leader who controls a certain market is generally called a "stall head".

Stalls refer to containers, generally refer to a market for a certain business, or a classification in a large market.

For example, there are food stalls, vegetable stalls, fish stalls and the like.

And this dish is in charge of one of the businesses in a certain stall.

In addition to the stalls, there are about ten such stalls in Dongshi, and each one has his or her own connections.

Some have their own vegetable fields, some represent a certain village and specialize in growing only one vegetable, and some are involved with merchants and can buy other wild vegetables from mountain villages. In short, these vegetables are stably supplied to a certain market in the market. The ability to grow vegetables.

Zhang Caitou is a Caitou who works at a vegetable stall in Chengdong City, Lizhou.

Although broken down in this way, it seems that they are not very good, but in fact, they are much more prosperous than the Paibo Gang. Li Qi also knows Zhang Caitou. He is responsible for selling Chinese cabbage, and he has three boats and four boats. A car would bring fresh woid vegetables from villages outside the city every day and sell them at vegetable stalls.

The Paibo Gang would occasionally receive orders from him to help him pull cargo ships carrying vegetables.

But I don’t know why, why did I come to the Paibo Gang to cause trouble today?

Li Qi quietly hid his body, grabbed the long knife, and hid behind the crowd to ensure that while his body was blocked, the other party could not easily see him.

Hearing the saying "ten ships capsize five ships", Zhang Caitou's expression changed obviously. It was obvious that this threat was still useful to him.

But he immediately took a step forward and cursed: "Are you scaring me? Do you think you are the only one in the city who can handle the water? I'm going to find the fish stall owner. Isn't that group of people better than you in underwater skills?!"

"Then go find him! I'll let you crawl to find him today! Brothers, surround him and break his legs if he dares to move!" Uncle Six gave the order, and the trackers immediately rushed out and formed a circle. Surround Zhang Caitou inside.

"How can you three-legged cats stop me? I'm still afraid of you in the water, but it's just you on the shore?" Zhang Caitou was not afraid at all. He took out the iron and wood stick from his waist and looked around.

"Then you try it?!" Uncle Six raised his neck and shouted.

The situation seemed heated.

But Li Qi knew that he probably wouldn't be able to fight.

People at the bottom, who are seriously injured, don't have so much capital to fight for it.

Besides, from his point of view, the current situation is probably just half a dozen.

Can the Paibo Gang stop Zhang Caitou?

It's probably impossible to stop them, and it's no use having too many people. Zhang Caitou tried his best to break off his legs and arms, but it's really not difficult to rush out. By then, the Paibo Gang will inevitably injure more than a dozen people, and maybe even dead.

But is Zhang Caitou afraid?

Even though he was screaming fiercely now, he must be feeling guilty. If his legs were really broken, he would be embarrassed to see others.

When working in a place like the bottom, face is always the most important. Without face, many things that were not a big deal will become obstacles.

Therefore, most of the time, both parties will compromise and start negotiations.

I just don’t know... what Zhang Caitou is thinking.

Why did he go to the Paibo Gang's territory alone to look for trouble?

The farmers under his control also had a lot of energy to bring over the vegetable garden. With him included, the Paibo Gang could only run into the water to escape.

But he ran here alone. If his leg was really broken, the loss would be huge.

Sure enough, as Li Qi expected, the two sides bickered for a while, and finally it was time to talk.

"Zhang Caitou, what are you here for? If it's just for a quarrel, we brothers won't be willing to accompany you. If a fight breaks out, you will be the only one who suffers." Uncle Six frowned, giving an ultimatum.

"Hey, let's not go further. You Paibo Gang, are you having a happy event today?" Zhang Caitou saw that the topic had changed from a quarrel to a serious matter, so he put away his pretense.

"Whether there is a happy event or not, what does it have to do with you?" Uncle Six's heart tightened, not knowing what the other party meant.

After all, there are happy events. Li Qi is back and has a promising future. Isn't that a huge happy event?

"Of course it's none of my business, but we have a big shot above us, comparable to the big shot in Dongcheng! He ordered me to come and asked me to ask about your happy news!" Zhang Caitou shook his head, proudly. said.
