The fights between the porters on the pier were too common and not a big deal, but Gu Yan decided to go over and have a look.
After exiting the second door, Wang Gui came up to meet him. Gu Yan did not stop and asked as he walked: "Is there anyone killed?"
"I don't know yet. The news I just heard said that the beating was quite severe. I was thinking that someone might be killed, so..." Wang Gui glanced at Gu Yan carefully.

"Well, not bad, I have some foresight. Go over and have a look." Gu Yan shook open the folding fan.
"There is a waterway very close. With our speedboat, we can get there in half a quarter of an hour at most." Wang Gui suggested with a smile, relieved.
"Then take the boat." Gu Yan turned around and walked to the small pier next to it.
Several speedboats were pulled out, and Gu Yan got on the boat, standing under the pergola, slowly swinging the folding fan, looking at the water corridor that quickly retreated on both sides.
Various signboards were picked out from under the corridor. In the corridor, there was an endless stream of men and women. From time to time, there were porters carrying heavy goods, shouting to give way and walking very fast.
No wonder Lu Hanlin misses his hometown after his third drink. The richness and beauty of the Jiangnan water town in front of him is indeed refreshing.
Green sleeves have never missed this Jiangnan water town.
Once, he invited Lu Hanlin to drink in the back garden, and Lu Xiu was waiting beside him. When Lu Hanlin was feeling nostalgic about his hometown, he once asked Lu Xiu, and Lu Xiu replied: Poor and hungry people cannot see the scenery.
Gu Yan was fascinated by the thought.
Now this little grandma is indeed very unusual in terms of style. Luxiu is good at poetry and poetry, and she is smart and impressive, but she is not good at style. She has three eggs for two cents. If you buy a few eggs for a hundred dollars, Luxiu will count them two.
Three times, the little grandma now is definitely not the Luxiu beside him, nor is she the Li Xiaonan before she was renamed Luxiu.
Gu Yan narrowed his eyes and smiled.
He and Lu Xiu were wiped out together in the landslide. He is back. Lu Xiu may not have such a great fortune as him, but the Li Xiaonan before Lu Xiu will definitely not be without all the changes.
The current little grandmother was both within his expectation and beyond his expectation.
This little girl is very courageous, has a bad temper, has no poetry, is very good at accounting, and is very good at pretending.
The speed boat shuttled very fast along the corridor, passing a stage built on the water. The front suddenly opened up. The speed of the speed boat did not slow down, passing through large ships. In the distance, there were roars and screams and cries.
Come with the wind.
Gu Yan stood on the bow of the ship and looked far into the distance.
A dozen speedboats soon docked at the pier. Wang Gui jumped out of the boat first, stretched out his hand to support Gu Yan, watched Gu Yan jump onto the shore, turned around, guarded Gu Yan, and walked towards the chaos on the pier.<
/p>
The guards walked and ran. The guards were on Gu Yan's left and right. The long followers dispersed and ran all the way, looking for a place where they could see the situation clearly. The boys were ordered by Shi Gun to spread out and ask around.<
/p>
Every place where he could see the excitement was crowded with people, so Chang Sui simply picked a good place, stuffed a few big bucks into it, and made room for Gu Yan to come out.
Shi Gun also found out the general information and hurriedly came over to report:
The reason for this fight is very simple: a group of out-of-town men tried to grab work at a lower price, which angered the local porters, so they started fighting.
Gu Yan stood on the stone drum that his followers had bought with a lot of money, looking at a middle-aged man diagonally opposite.
The middle-aged man stood on the shoulders of a strong man, towering over him, and kept giving orders. Groups of men continued to gather, and under the command of the middle-aged man, they joined the battle group.
The fights scattered everywhere gradually converged into one place.
A shrill scream of a woman came from far and near, rushing towards the battle group that had gathered together.
"Please! Please! Please!"
The woman's cry is urgent and heartbreaking.
"Tell them to stop." Gu Yan frowned.
"Stop!" "Stop!"
As soon as Zhu Changsui's shouts came out, they were drowned in the chaos and din of shouts and screams all around.
"Find some rocks." Gu Yan turned around and looked around.
"This!" Wang Gui saw a hawker selling dates and rushed over, grabbing the basket of dates from the hawker's arms.
"My dates..." the vendor was halfway through shouting when a long follower slapped him with a bunch of twenty big coins. The vendor counted them and said, "Not enough..."
Chang Sui immediately took two more strings of big money.
The vendor immediately beamed.
Gu Yan grabbed a few big red dates, weighed them, and threw them at the middle-aged man standing on the shoulders of the strong man.
A jujube hit the middle-aged man's face, and he screamed in pain. Then the second jujube hit his face again. The middle-aged man lost his balance and fell down.
Gu Yan took a few more jujubes and threw them at the group of bearers.
"Everyone stop it! The government office is handling the case! Stop it!"
The long followers were all clever people, and they cheered in unison as Gu Yan smashed the jujubes.
The fight suddenly became less hesitant.
Gu Yan jumped off the stone drum, and several guards rushed away from the crowd with kicks and punches, and went straight to the group that was fighting the most fiercely. Wang Gui hugged the basket of big red dates and followed closely beside Gu Yan.

Squeezing to the side of the battle group, the guards kicked away the dozen or so men who were still fighting. Gu Yan raised his feet and kicked every man who punched hard.
The core group was kicked away by Gu Yan and the guards, revealing a thin man surrounded in the middle. The thin man's face was covered with blood, and he was holding a wooden stick tightly in both hands to protect his head and face.

"Awu! Awu!" The woman cried miserably and rolled in, rushing towards the thin man.
The thin man staggered a few steps when the woman hit him. He propped himself up on the ground with a stick, trembling all over, and tried his best to keep himself steady.
Gu Yan looked at the thin man with admiration.
"Who are you!" The middle-aged man, who had a black nose and swollen eyes after being hit by a jujube, rushed over, pointed at Gu Yan and roared.
"Our father is the new official of the government office." Shi Gun hurriedly raised his head to answer.
The middle-aged man was startled, then frowned.
Which government office is the recommendation officer? This place is under the control of Pingjiang government office. Pingjiang government office only has one recommendation officer. He has seen it before, but he has never heard that the recommendation officer will be changed.
"Who are you? What is your surname? In broad daylight, people gather to fight each other, where does the law of the court stand?" Gu Yan's voice was fierce.
"There is only one Wang Tuiguan in the government office. He has only been in office for two years. Who are you?" The middle-aged man asked, "Who are you?" The question was a bit condescending.
The man in front of him was so imposing that he couldn't help but become cautious.
Gu Yan looked at Wang Gui.
"I've already sent someone to call Wang Tuiguan." Wang Gui hurriedly leaned over and answered.
"Well, please invite some doctors over." Gu Yan pointed to the thin man and the injured people lying everywhere.
"Yes." Shi Gun agreed, and several boys rushed to fetch the doctor without his instructions.
Seeing Gu Yan's momentum, the middle-aged man did not dare to make any mistakes. He took two steps back and ordered his people to check the person who lifted him up, waiting for Wang Tuiguan to come over.
