Chapter 417 I don’t care if there are big people behind you or not (two chapters in one)
“Gudong, Gudong, Gudong…”
Lin Li picked up the delicious chicken soup in front of him and drank it quickly Drink it all.
Qin Muqing saw Lin Li finishing the chicken soup and swallowing the food in his mouth, thinking about helping him serve the sixth bowl of chicken soup, and said, "Mr. Lin, give me the bowl! I will help you serve another bowl. Chicken soup."
"Thank you, no need, my stomach is full..." Lin Li, who was seven-tenths full, said with a smile, then he stood up, cleaned up his bowls and chopsticks, and got ready. Take them to the kitchen.
"Don't move, let me take care of it." Qin Muqing saw Lin Li's actions, quickly put down the chopsticks in his hands, stood up, and said.
Although she was well-dressed and well-fed at home and served by many servants, the situation was completely different now that she had run away from home. Qin Muqing knew very well what she should do in her current role.
"You haven't finished eating yet, keep eating. I'll just clean up the bowls and chopsticks myself." Lin Li raised his hand and pressed down a few times in mid-air, signaling Qin Muqing to sit down and continue eating.
Then he packed up some empty plates and his own dishes and took them to the kitchen.
Qin Muqing stopped insisting and sat down again. While eating the rice in the bowl, she looked at Lin Li walking towards the kitchen carrying the bowl and chopsticks, her bright eyes shining with a different kind of brilliance.
Lin Li put the bowls and chopsticks in the sink, returned to the restaurant, and said to Qin Muqing, who was eating, "I have to go out to deal with some things now."
"Oh." Qin Muqing nodded, and then asked a question , "Will you come back tonight?"
After Lin Li handled the matter with the Scarlet Blood Gang, he was about to return to Blue Star. He shook his head, "I'm not coming back. After I leave, it will get dark. You should lock the door early..."
< br>"Yes." After hearing Lin Li's answer, Qin Muqing thought that this was indeed the case.
After saying that he was going out, Lin Li turned and left the restaurant and walked towards the entrance door.
"Bang."
The sound of closing the door sounded, and Qin Muqing, who was eating in the restaurant, knew that Lin Li had left.
"Mr. Lin has never stayed at home during the days I have lived here. What on earth is he busy with?"
"Mr. Lin is not going to Hualou to look for Are you having fun? Uh... No, Mr. Lin doesn’t look like the kind of person who would go to the Flower House to have fun.”
Qin Muqing muttered to herself, and then she thought, what if Lin Li really went to the Flower House to have fun. She was not qualified to say anything about having fun.
Shaking her head, she no longer guessed what Lin Li was going out to do.
…………
The bright red sunset on the horizon will not disappear for another hour.
Lin Li came out of his home, stopped a carriage on the roadside, and asked the driver to take him to the dock under the jurisdiction of the Red Blood Gang.
“Da, da, da…”
The horse's hooves stepped on the pavement paved with bluestone bricks, making a crisp sound. Pedestrians came and went along both sides of the street, which was very lively.
"Huh..."
The coachman pulled the reins in his hands and signaled the horse to stop. When the carriage stopped, he turned to the passengers in the carriage and said.
“Sir, we’ve arrived.”
“Yes.”
Lin Li got out of the car, paid the fare, and looked towards the busy dock in the distance.
His eyes first glanced at the sweaty workers who insisted on carrying the goods through gritted teeth, and then his eyes fell on the Red Blood Gang supervisors scattered on the dock, holding whips in their hands.
“Bang.”
A worker carrying a wooden box accidentally dropped the wooden box in his hand to the ground. The member of the Red Blood Gang who was in charge of supervising the work saw it and rushed forward and shouted loudly scolded the obedient workers.
“Asshole, what are you doing? I asked you to handle it with care, have you turned a deaf ear to my words?”
The obedient worker was young, only thirteen or fourteen years old. This could be considered child labor on Blue Star, and was an age when he was not allowed to work by law.
But in this different world that is still in the feudal era, it is very common for children from poor families to come out to make a living at this age.
After all, for the vast majority of poor families, they will starve to death if they don’t work for a living, so no one thinks there is anything inappropriate about working at such an age.
After being reprimanded by the supervisor of the Red Blood Gang, the young worker almost cried. He apologized quickly with a tearful voice, "I'm sorry, I won't make this kind of mistake again."
The supervisor of the Red Blood Gang waved the whip in his hand and said expressionlessly, "It's just this once, it won't happen next time. If you make such a low-level mistake again, don't blame me for being merciless. Do you remember?"< br>
"Remember." The young worker nodded his head and answered the words of the fierce supervisor of the Red Blood Gang with a grateful look on his face.
“Just remember, get moving quickly, it will be dark soon.
If after dark, you haven’t moved this ship of goods Move it to the warehouse and put it away. Don't eat anything like dinner." The fierce supervisor of the Red Blood Gang looked around at the workers who were looking at him and said fiercely.
After a busy afternoon, the workers, who were so hungry that their chests were pressed against their backs, were very angry when they heard what the vicious Red Blood Gang supervisor said about dinner.
But no matter how angry I was, I just cursed secretly in my heart, without any expression of dissatisfaction on my face.
The reason why everyone dares to be angry and dare not speak out is entirely because they, ordinary people from poor families, have no education and only have strength. Apart from making money by selling their strength on the dock, there is no other good way out.
If you anger the vicious Red Blood Gang overseer in front of you, you will definitely lose your job. Once you lose your income, your already tight life will become even more difficult.
"What are you looking at? Aren't my words clear enough?
After dark, if you haven't finished this shipment, you don't have to think about dinner or anything else. Let me drink from the northwest wind..."
The fierce supervisor of the Red Blood Gang said as he shook the whip in his hand.
"Pa."
The chilling whip whipped in the air, making a loud sound.
A group of workers trembled, looked at each other in fear, and then quickly walked towards the distant warehouse holding the boxes in their hands.
"Bah, you can't do anything, and you won't have anything left to eat. What a bunch of cheap guys." The fierce supervisor of the Red Blood Gang looked at the working workers with disdain and said proudly.
In the distance, Lin Li, who had taken in all this scene, stared expressionlessly at the majestic Red Blood Gang overseer.
The overseer of the Red Blood Gang, who was still very proud, suddenly felt like a ray on his back.
A chill spread throughout the body, and on a hot day, the body couldn't help but shiver.
"Holy shit, why do I suddenly feel cold all over my body? Am I sick?"
Lin Li took his eyes away from the supervisor of the Red Blood Gang and turned to look at the roadside in the distance. Walk to a three-story teahouse.
Because it's not dark yet, it's not convenient to sneak in. Let's go to the tea house for a while and wait until dark before taking action.
"Sir, welcome." When the waiter saw the guest coming, he greeted him warmly.
"Is there a seat on the third floor?" Lin Li asked the waiter in front of him. "Yes."
Then, Lin Li followed the waiter to the third floor of the tea house and sat down at a window seat. From this position, he could see the Red Blood Gang in the distance. Jurisdiction for most scenes on the pier.
“Bring me a pot of green tea.”
"Sir, would you like some snacks? The glutinous rice cakes in our store are very delicious and are famous far and wide."
"Okay, give me a piece of glutinous rice cakes."
"Okay, please wait a moment, I'm I’ll go prepare it for you.”
The waiter left, and Lin Li turned his attention back to the dock under the jurisdiction of the Scarlet Blood Gang. Further away, he could also see part of the Scarlet Blood Gang that was burned down due to the fire. Base camp.
“Last time, because of the sudden appearance of the man with the third-level initial cultivation level, we were unable to kill all the people in the Red Blood Gang.
This time, those guys from the Red Blood Gang won't have the same good luck as last time. "
"Tap, step, step..."
The sound of footsteps came from the stairs. The waiter who came back was holding a wooden plate with a plate on it. Glutinous rice cakes and a pot of tea .
"Sir, the glutinous rice cake and tea you ordered are here..." the waiter said with a smile, and then placed the glutinous rice cake and tea in his hand on the table in front of Lin Li.
"Thanks! ”
"You're welcome, I should do it..."
"This glutinous rice cake is indeed as you said, it is delicious." Lin Li reached for a piece of glutinous rice cake, tasted it, and said with a smile.
“Our shopkeeper has opened this teahouse for more than 40 years. During this period, he has continuously improved the taste of glutinous rice cakes. After so many years of persistence, we finally have the taste that everyone likes very much today. "
The waiter's tone was very proud. Obviously, he admired his shopkeeper very much.
"Decades of persistence is not something ordinary people can achieve. Your shopkeeper is really a powerful person!" Lin Li praised with a smile.
The waiter admired his shopkeeper very much. Hearing Lin Li praise his shopkeeper, the smile on his face became even wider.
"Sir, please be patient. If you need anything else, please feel free to call me."
Lin Li nodded, suddenly thought of something, and then called out to those who were about to leave. The waiter said, "Waiter, please wait a moment."
"Sir, what else do you need?" the waiter asked, thinking that Lin Li wanted to add another piece of glutinous rice cake.
Lin Li asked as if he was a melon-eater, but just a little curious.
"I heard from my friends that something happened to the Red Blood Gang a few nights ago. Do you know about this matter?"
"This matter can be said to be known to everyone now. And our teahouse is so far away from the Scarlet Blood Gang. Members of the Scarlet Blood Gang occasionally come here to drink tea, so of course I know..." the waiter said with a smile.
"That's it! I heard from my friends that the fire was soaring into the sky that night and it was very scary." Lin Li said in a dignified manner, as if he really had such a friend telling him about this. Something like that.
It can only be said that his talent is not bad. With more practice, he should soon be able to have some of the skills of Su Yue, the drama queen.
“Yes! I happened to be staying in the store that night, and suddenly heard a very noisy sound coming from outside at night.
Then I got up and went upstairs to look outside to see what was going on, and saw a raging fire burning in the Red Blood Gang’s base camp in the distance, with many firefighting team members putting out the fire..." The waiter recalled what he saw that night scene, said.
< br>Lin Li didn’t expect that the waiter in front of him was the same crowd of people watching the scene that night when he launched an attack on the Red Blood Gang’s headquarters.
“It had been a few days since the incident. Have the authorities caught the murderer now? "
"No one has been caught. The government has sent many experienced detectives to investigate. So far, I haven't heard any progress? "
"Oh. Lin Li nodded and said, "It is said that many people from the Red Blood Gang died that night." ”
"Yes, some people from the Red Blood Gang came to our store for tea afterwards. I listened to their chat, and they mentioned that many of their key members died that night..." the waiter said.
Looking at the gloating smile on the waiter's face, one can tell that he has no favorable impression of the Red Blood Gang.
"The Red Blood Gang usually does evil things. Now they were attacked by unknown persons and so many people died. This is considered retribution." Lin Li said, then picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea.
Just as he thought, the waiter in front of him did not have a good impression of the Red Blood Gang, and not only did he not have a good impression, but he could also be said to be extremely disgusted.
"Those people from the Red Blood Gang bully others and bully good people. So many people died this time, and everyone is very happy. It is a pity that their new gang leader did not die that night." The waiter in the shop Said regretfully.
Lin Li recalled the appearance of Fang Jingtang, the leader of the Red Blood Gang, and said in an indifferent tone.
“The new gang leader was lucky enough not to die that night. He is lucky, but people’s luck cannot always be good. Maybe if the same thing happens again, he will die.”
< br>The waiter nodded, "I hope so! After Fang Jingtang became the leader of the gang, he was very concerned about those people on the pier. The workers at work squeezed him even more.
I heard that he was a scholar before joining the Red Blood Gang, but I didn't expect that his heart was darker than the dead Hong Jiu, and his reading was really in vain. ”
The information Lin Li had gathered before mentioned that Fang Jingtang had a good reputation and was a scholar.
"The Red Blood Gang is quite powerful. After so many people died, it was as if nothing happened. The whole gang was operating in an orderly manner."
Hearing this, the waiter thought for a moment, then lowered his voice and whispered. He told Lin Li, "So many little leaders died that night. It stands to reason that the Red Blood Gang would soon fall apart. .
The reason why they did not fall apart is said to be because the big shot behind the Red Blood Gang helped the Red Blood Gang, and this led to the current stable situation. ”
"So that's it!" Lin Li now knew why the Red Blood Gang could still operate like this after being attacked by him.
"I heard this all from hearsay. There is no way to verify whether it is true or not. Just listen to me, sir. Don't take it too seriously." The waiter said with a smile.
"Waiter, take this." Lin Li heard useful information from the waiter, so naturally he didn't want to treat him badly.
He reached into his pocket and pulled out a fifty-copper note, placed it on the table, and then pushed it forward.
The waiter looked at the banknotes that Lin Li pushed in front of him, his eyes widened, and his joyful thoughts were clearly visible, but he said, "This, how can this be so embarrassing?"
< br>Lin Li smiled and said nothing.
After all, it was half a day's wages, which the waiter couldn't refuse. Then he reached out and picked up the reward and put it into his pocket, thanking Lin Li repeatedly.
Afterwards, Lin Li chatted with the waiter for a few more words. After the waiter left, he picked up the tea cup and turned to look out the window. His eyes fell on the dock under the jurisdiction of the Red Blood Gang in the distance. He looked at the busy workers and murmured muttering to himself.
“Big shot?”
“Since it was you who came to harm me in the first place, then as long as your Red Blood Gang still exists, this matter will never end. I don’t care who is behind you. There is no big shot to back me up.”
A pale golden light flashed between Lin Li’s fingers, and then wisps of orange-red fire appeared out of thin air, appearing and disappearing as the slightly cool tea in his hand slowly simmered. Raise the temperature.
