Dong Tiancheng is the name of the foreman. Most people call him Brother Dong or Boss Dong. Very few people call him by his first name. Judging from this aura, it seems that he has bad intentions.
Huo Long took a bag of goods off the ship and looked around curiously. He saw Dong Tiancheng coming to a young man in his twenties, nodding and bowing, then bowing and saying something in a low voice, which was a bit far away.
, Huo Long didn’t hear clearly.
"Humph, you paid it? Fart, I said you didn't pay it, so I didn't pay it! You'd better be more honest!" The young man shouted coldly with his nostrils turned upward.
The surrounding workers all gathered around, all of them with unkind expressions. Huo Long didn't know who this young man was, but the old workers here did know it very well.
"Uncle? Who is this kid?" Huo Long asked the middle-aged man beside him.
"Qi Ziming, the eldest young master of the Qi family. Logically speaking, the Qi family is also a big family, but this boy just doesn't learn well. He relies on his cousin Qi Ming to often bully us mortals. Don't you think this is what he wants to do to collect water transport?
Gold!" the middle-aged man said angrily.
The Qi family is very skilled in shipbuilding. All the ships in this dock are built by their family. Logically speaking, the shipping fee only needs to be paid by the cargo owner, but Qi Ziming keeps collecting it from the cargo owner, and also from the people who unload the cargo. More
What's hateful is that this guy often collects goods several times in one trip, just to his liking.
"**Ming? Is there anything different about him?"
Huo Long heard that the reason why Qi Ziming was so arrogant was not because he was the young master of the Qi family, but because he was a wise man. I think the energy of this wise man was far superior to that of the Qi family.
"In terms of family background, the Zhang family is not as good as the Qi family, but his other identity is what we are afraid of, and that is that he is a disciple of Yuxu Mountain!" said the middle-aged man.
"Um, you are saying that this person is obviously a cultivator, but I see that the cultivators in the city get along very harmoniously with the mortals!"
"Haha, most cultivators will not rely on their cultivation to bully us. Although ** Ming will not take the initiative, he once said that if anyone dares to hurt Qi Ziming, he will take action to recover Qi Ziming's compensation.
justice!"
It turns out that this is the case. No wonder Qi Ziming showed no fear in the face of such workers, and actually showed ridicule and provocation.
"Why, you country bumpkins, don't you think you can take action?" Qi Ziming said disdainfully without even looking at the crowd.
"Master Qi, please calm down. I'll take care of the money for transporting water to others!" Dong Tiancheng obviously didn't want to make the matter a big deal and quickly expressed his willingness to pay for it out of his own pocket.
"Haha, I will accept this money first. This is your filial piety, Dong Tiancheng. As for these people, hey, I am very unhappy today. You call all the country bumpkins to gather together!" Qi Ziming said with a sneer.
"This..." Dong Tiancheng never expected that he had handed over the water transportation funds again on behalf of all the workers. Unexpectedly, Li Ziming was still unwilling to give up.
"What? You don't want to do this anymore? Hehe, Liu Scarzi has told me several times that he wants to accept this dock..." Li Ziming said with a smile.
Dong Tiancheng was forced to have no choice but to ask everyone who was still working to stop. At the same time, he whispered in someone's ear: "Today, you will pay for the water transport money yourself. When the wages are paid, I will
I’ll supply you more!”
"Oh, thank you so much, Brother Dong..." The man's eyes were filled with gratitude, and he then whispered Dong Tiancheng's words to the other person.
The middle-aged man standing next to Huo Long let out a long sigh and said to Huo Long: "Brother Dong has worked so hard this time, and I'm afraid he'll have to pay for it!"
Qi Ziming watched everyone stand up, and then shouted loudly: "It's sparse, what does it look like, it really damages the image of our Yuxu City. If it weren't for you country bumpkins, our city might become an advanced city! Stand at attention!"
Everyone's eyes were about to burst into flames. If it weren't for the fact that there was an elder in the family and a younger one in the family, they would have wanted to give this kid two slaps.
Qi Ziming looked at the people standing in order, and then said calmly: "That's more or less. You people have never paid me water transportation money. Are you really embarrassed? Do you know the stone road where you are standing?
, they were all built with my own money!"
Qi Ziming's very shameless words made everyone sneer. They didn't pay the water transportation fee that day? It was just that they didn't hand it over directly to him. Besides, the road was built by the shipowners with funds raised, and Qi Ziming didn't pay a penny at all.
"You! Twelve!" Qi Ziming walked up to the first person and asked for money. I wonder if he had thought of the image of the city at this time.
The first person had no choice but to take out ten taels of silver from the bag and handed it to Qi Ziming! Qi Ziming weighed the silver in his hand and seemed to enjoy this feeling very much, and then moved on to the next person...
"Hurry up..." When Qi Ziming walked up to Huo Long, he stretched out his hand for a long time, but did not see Huo Long making any move to take out money, and he became angry instantly.
"Are you deaf?"
"No!" Huo Long said lightly.
"No? Hey, boy, I think you are impatient..." The worker who had always been obedient made Qi Ziming very happy. A feeling of superiority made him very comfortable, but he did not expect that Huo Long
This stupid boy dared to dampen his interest, so he had to teach Huo Long a lesson.
"Master Qi, please calm down. This guy has just arrived and hasn't received his wages yet..." Dong Tiancheng quickly ran over and explained.
"Uh!" Qi Ziming looked Huo Long up and down. When he saw the Longmen jade pendant worn around Huo Long's neck, he sneered and said, "Dong Tiancheng, you have nothing to do with me here. Hehe, I think this kid
There are very rich people!"
Huo Long sneered in his heart. It seemed that this guy was interested in the Longmen Jade Pendant. He would stop Dong Tiancheng first, fearing that he would lend him money.
"You don't have money, right? Grandpa, I'm in a good mood today, so I won't argue with you. Just use the jade pendant around your neck to pay for the shipping money!" Qi Ziming turned his attention to the jade pendant as Huo Long expected.
!
"You are looking for death!" Huo Long said coldly.
"Uh, what did you say?" Qi Ziming thought he heard wrongly and asked.
"I said, you... are looking for... death!" Huo Long's eyes flashed with cold light, and then he said word by word.
"It's the other way around!"
Qi Ziming was furious. Dong Tiancheng was like his grandson in front of him, but this Ma Zai actually talked to him like this. It was not a big deal, so he punched Huo Long.
Seeing this, Dong Tiancheng hurriedly moved to protect Huo Long, but as soon as he made a move, Qi Ziming flew out and fell into the sea with an ordinary sound.
The water splashed more than one meter high, and then the sea surface became calm again, with only bubbles rising up one by one. Everyone was shocked, and then they cheered.
Dong Tiancheng was so frightened that he couldn't speak clearly: "Xiaolong, you...are in trouble! Quick, rescue Master Qi..."
The workers around him didn't seem to hear Dong Tiancheng's words and were indifferent. They hated Qi Ziming deeply.
"You...if Qi Ziming really has a problem, you will definitely be implicated if you remain indifferent..." Dong Tiancheng said.
These words really had some effect. Several tall people with good water surnames jumped down and picked up the unconscious Qi Ziming. Seeing that Qi Ziming's belly was swollen like a pregnant woman who was ten months pregnant, Dong
Tiancheng was running around anxiously.
"Xiaolong, how could you hit him? You...sigh..." Dong Tiancheng somewhat blamed Huo Long for his impulsiveness.
"Brother Dong, one person does the work and the other takes responsibility, you don't have to worry!" Huo Long said.
"Alas, you are still too young. Do you know that his cousin is a disciple of Yuxu Mountain, and he once said that he will take action against anyone who dares to hurt Qi Ziming, whether he is a mortal or a cultivator! You'd better leave quickly.
!" Dong Tiancheng said.
"If I leave, they may not let you go!" Huo Long said.
"Oh, I won't do it anymore after I rescue Qi Ziming. Even if I want to, I can't do it!" Dong Tiancheng sighed often and said.
Huo Long was very grateful to Dong Tiancheng for what he had done. This man was not only righteous, but also had a great sense of the overall situation. Huo Long said: "Qi Ziming is dead now, so you don't have to waste your efforts. You can take everyone to avoid it first."
Just stay away and come back after I take care of things here!"
"Are you a cultivator?" Dong Tiancheng looked at Huo Long with a very calm expression. He didn't seem to act impulsively to deal with Qi Ziming. He had a vague feeling that Huo Long was not simple.
"Not bad!" Huo Long said.
"But **Ming is a disciple of Yuxu Mountain, can you really deal with it?" Dong Tiancheng said worriedly.
"Hahaha, before I meet others, I can't guarantee that I will be better than him! If you are really defeated, it won't be too late for you to fend for yourself." Huo Long said lightly.
Dong Tiancheng also knew that looking at Qi Ziming's march today, even if Huo Long didn't take action to cause this huge disaster, they would not be able to survive on this dock.
Dong Tiancheng asked everyone to disperse, and many people expressed their willingness to face Huo Long together.
"Huo Long killed Qi Ziming. This was to get rid of harm for the sake of reputation. This was justice. Why should we leave?"
"That's right, I want to see how shameless the Qi family can be in seeking revenge from Huo Long!"
"Having a son without educating him is worse than raising pigs. How can Qi Tiantong have the dignity to run for the city leader?"
"Xiaolong, we are just ordinary people. If you don't think we are a drag, we are willing to face it with you..."
The more they talked, the more excited they became, and they spoke out all the thoughts they had been keeping in their hearts.
"Master Lin Hao of the Lin family has long been dissatisfied with what Qi Ziming has done. It's just that because he and **Ming are from the same family, it's hard to break up. Now Qi Ziming is angry with both people and gods. I'll ask him to come forward!" someone said
.
As soon as these words came out, many people instantly agreed that Lin Hao was also a disciple of Yuxu Mountain, but Lin Zhen, the head of the Lin family, was also a candidate to compete for the city master.
