In the cold spring, the coolies on the pier of Datong Bridge were all thinner than the other, and some of them who did the 'big work' simply went shirtless.
Sun Shaozong and Xu Shouye were sitting in the tea shed, watching this hot scene, they couldn't help but feel a little dry.
Xu Shouye rolled up his two sleeves, revealing half of his bronzed arms, and said enviously, "Sometimes I really imagine these people, foolishly trying to make money all day long to support the family, so I don't need to think about anything."
Listening to this, it seems that he is quite dissatisfied with the status quo.
Sun Shaozong asked curiously, "Didn't they all say that this pier is a first-class fat shortage, why do you still complain?"
"Fat is fat, but you're also panicking!"
Xu Shouye raised his head and poured a bowl of tea, chewing on the tea stem and said vaguely: "These bird officials who travel from south to north have to deal with it well, and even the rich dog owner can't easily offend him. What kind of military commander did you usher and send all day? Just like the old bustard in the kiln!"
Sun Shaozong laughed, pointed at his black face full of beards, and joked: "If the old maid in the kiln really grows into your virtue, it is estimated that he would have lost all his underpants."
The two were talking and laughing here, when they saw a commotion on the dock. The two merchant ships that were about to unload their cargoes suddenly withdrew their springboards and fled to the side in a panic.
Immediately afterward, there was a passenger ship, swaying across the vacant seat, with two flags, one large and one small, fluttering in the wind. State Governor State Yamen'.
Sun Shaozong and Xu Shouye looked at each other and knew that Xu Tai had arrived, so they hurriedly got up and walked towards the pier. As for the tea money, their own servant was responsible for the settlement.
Across the distance, I saw one tall and one fat two sailors with a hundred households, carrying horsewhips and getting off the boat, shouting gruffly, and let the coolies hired by the merchant ship just unload the cargo on their own ships.
But even if they don't pay attention to the first come, first arrived, the coolies have received the payment from others, and there is no reason to unload the goods for others first.
The foreman stepped forward and explained a few words with a smile, but he was whipped around his head. He had no choice but to recognize it with his nose pinched, and carried boxes of silk brocades from the boat.
"Sure enough, it's arrogant and tight, no wonder it can block Ma Xingyi back."
Sun Shaozong smiled at Xu Shouye, hurried a few steps to the front, aimed at the fat man who was beating, and slapped him without saying a word!
Hearing a crisp sound, the Fat Hundred Household turned around for two and a half times, and then fell to the ground with his left foot stumbled and his right footed. He hummed for a long time, but couldn't recover.
The tall Baihu was first frightened, and then became furious. He rolled his arms and rolled his sleeves and flinched, shouting, "Where are you crazy?! People dare to stretch their claws indiscriminately, is it going to be the opposite?!"
"Inverted?"
Sun Shaozong snorted, chasing after him and raising his leg was a heart-wrenching kick, and kicked the girl directly into the river.
"Lord Baihu!"
"A thief is stabbing!"
"Catch the thief!"
At this time, there were more than a dozen sailors on the boat, either armed with swords or bare-handed, getting off the boat, making a lot of noise. First, they buckled the hats of thieves for the two of them, and they were about to come around and start.
Xu Shouye originally saw Sun Shaozong come up without saying a word, so he immediately used force, and he was a little overwhelmed. Shouye, this is Lord Shuntian Fuzhi Zhongsun, I think who would dare to do anything indiscriminately?!"
At this time, the officers and soldiers of the patrol battalion stationed on the dock had also rushed over after hearing the news. From a distance, they saw that Xu Shouye was in conflict with others. Obediently catch up.
At this moment, the fat Baihu spat out two posterior molars, and finally regained his strength, and shouted like a pig: "Even if it is the ruler of Shuntian Prefecture, he will never ask questions, just directly The reason for beating people! You must know that Wang Tai... uh~!"
Before Fat Hundred Household could utter the three words 'Taiwei Wang', Sun Shaozong stepped on him and rolled his eyes, then leaned down and sneered: "You dare to mention Taiwei Wang! Although this official has no chance to see The captain is respectful, but he has a good relationship with the son-in-law of the captain, so I know that the most hated thing for the captain is that some people do business in his name!"
"You are carrying the official flag of Taiwei Wang, but you unload these many private goods. Don't you deliberately smear his old man's face? I just took action just for the sake of the name of the Taiwei!"
The fat hundred households were immediately dumbfounded. He could think of the amulet along the way, but now it has become the reason for the beating
At this moment, Sun Shaozong suddenly let go of him, and asked with a sullen face, "Isn't Xu Zhizhou also on your boat? Why didn't you see him come out?"
"Xu Zhizhou?"
Fat Baihu, who could keep up with his footing and footing, was stunned for a while, and when he saw Sun Shaozong stepping over again, he hurriedly said: "Why are you still standing still, call Xu Zhizhou out! "
The dozen or so sailors, now surrounded by more than 20 patrol battalion officers and soldiers, have long lost the courage to shout and kill. After hearing this, most of them ran back to the ship, and asked for a thin person from the bilge. Bamboo poles are also tall.
"Old Xu!"
Seeing the man's skinny appearance, Xu Shouye couldn't help but turn pale with fright. He jumped onto the boat with three steps and two steps, grabbed the man's arm, and said, "You... you... this..."
After a while of 'this', he suddenly turned around and glared at the fat hundred households, scolding through gritted teeth: "Zhi Niang thief, this special girl is the escort you said?!"
Seeing that Xu Tai, who is known for his majesty, was abused to look like a tuberculosis ghost, Sun Shaozong was also very angry, and he raised his foot and waited to add another foot to the fat hundred households.
"Brother Shao Zong, don't make it difficult for them."
Unexpectedly, Xu Tai hurriedly shouted: "I look like this because Guangde has been injured in the nine years, but it has nothing to do with the two of them."
Only then did Sun Shaozong let the fat hundred households go, and pointed to the box that was carried down, and said, "Remember to carry it to the Ministry of War to report and use it as military resources."
Saying that, he bowed his hands to Xu Tai Yaoyao again and said with a smile, "Brother Xu, Shouye and I ordered a table of good wine early, and we're just waiting for you to pick up the dust!"
Unexpectedly, Xu Tai shook his head again and said, "I am a guilty person. I really don't deserve the kindness of the two younger brothers."
Seeing that both Sun Shaozong and Xu Shouye were inexplicable, he sighed again: "To tell the truth, before entering the capital, Taiwei Wang personally met me and analyzed the situation in the nine southeastern provinces one by one, and then I realized that I had He's an ignorant fanatic who sits and watches the sky."
I'll go~
Sun Shaozong and Xu Shouye got off the boat one after the other, but they were a little dumbfounded when they heard this - just now, the two of them were still thinking about how to shelter Xu Tai from the wind and rain, how could he think that he would have already confessed!
