lady, please calm down

Chapter 143
Bali River, south bank.

A piece of wasteland silted up with thousands of acres of river sand.

It is not suitable for farming here, and no one cares about it.

However, since the opening of the Watermelon Festival in June, Zuojin suddenly became lively.

After the simple process of 'exposure to the sun', a truckload of twenty-cent river sand can sell more than 100 truckloads in a single day when the demand peaks.

Making a living of more than 2000 yuan a day is no longer a small business.
As a result, more people were attracted to join the army of sand dredging.

The two largest groups of forces, one headed by Lin Dali of Xilin Village, and the other headed by Luo Hong of Wulipu.

The two groups initially robbed customers, and later developed into robbing river sand sites, and then stumbling each other and competing with each other at lower prices.
As the contradictions continued to accumulate, the conflict finally broke out on the morning of the third day of July.

When Chen Chu arrived, the two sides were fighting fiercely.

Among the nearly 40 people who participated in the fighting, there were only about [-] people from Xilin Village, and the number was not dominant.

But in Xilin Village, more than a dozen people had received the most basic formation practice in Luliuxu when they were doing forced labor, and they knew that they would advance together and retreat together.

This advantage alone gradually gained the upper hand in the chaotic fight.

Lin Dali held a wooden stick with both hands, and stood at the front of the front line. When he saw the Wulipu people, he either hit his leg with a stick or poked his chest with a stick.

The chaotic Wulipu, young and strong, rushed forward in a swarm, and were repulsed and scattered.

Charge again, and be beaten back and scattered again.

After three or two charges, Luo Hong only felt that the number of people on his side was getting smaller and smaller. He took the time to look around, but saw that some people were scared after being repelled twice, and sneaked into the distant forest.

Some people were lying on the ground moaning, unable to get up and fight again in a short time.

It won't take long to go on like this, and my side will collapse!

If he fails this time, it may be difficult for Wulipu to get his hands on the sand-digging business in the future.
After finally finding a good job, how willing to let go!
Luo Hong's heart became ruthless, and he pulled out the hatchet from his back with his backhand
Although today was a fight with weapons, the two sides only took sticks and no sharp blades appeared.

But Luo Hong suddenly took out the hatchet
"stop!"

At the critical moment, a loud shout was heard.

Lin Dali and the others turned their heads when they heard the sound, saw the person coming, and subconsciously stopped their forward movement.

And because Luo Hong was hit on the head with a stick just now, the blood flowing down the head obstructed his vision. Before he could see the person clearly, he first held a knife and shouted at the figure: "Where is the bird man! Today is the king of heaven, Lao Tzu!" up"

No, Lin Dali and the others, who were standing still, started cursing back, "Your surname is Luo, you scold Chen Du the first sentence, my brothers will tear you apart!"

Ok?
Chen Dutou?
Luo Hong quickly wiped away the blood that covered his eyes, and took a closer look, the one he pointed at with the knife was not Chen Dutou!
'Pfft~'

The hatchet in his hand fell to the ground immediately, making a faint sound as it hit the sand.

Who is Chen Dutou? Chen Dutou is a good official who helps the poor get ahead!
Last year, because of an irrelevant Zhou Zongfa, Chen Dutou made a big fuss in Zhoujiazhuang, smashed Zhou Bapi's house, and broke Zhou Bapi's son's leg.

The poor people from all over the world, when they talked about this incident with joy, who would not give a thumbs up!
Also, it was rumored that in March this year, Chen Dutou beheaded a white bull that was bigger than a house at the foot of the cliff in Qifengling!
It is said that Chen Dutou is an exiled immortal who descended from the sky. Did I point a knife at him just now?
"You've learned how to fight with weapons?"

Chen Chu approached and reprimanded Lin Dali first.

Lin vigorously retracted his stick and leaned on the ground, touched his head and laughed, pointed at Luo Hong, and said, "Dutou, don't blame us, it's all because of Luo's ignorance."

Luo Hong wanted to retort, but saw that Chen Dutou and Lin Dali were familiar, so he swallowed the words back.

"Second brother, send someone back to Zhuangzi to call the Taoist priest Wugen to come and heal the injured folks."

Chen Chu looked at the dozen or so young men lying on the ground, turned his head and told Peng Er, then looked at Lin Dali and Luo Hong, and said in a deep voice, "What is the crime of knowing about weapon fighting?"

"Hey, at worst, go to the county government to eat a few boards." Lin Dali said with a silly smile.

Although Luo Hong didn't speak, he didn't seem to care much.

"How many boards will you eat?"

Chen Chu glanced into the distance, and saw that Ximen Gong was running over with three squads of Zaoyi. He couldn't help lowering his voice, "There are more than 30 people fighting with weapons, and the leader is the leader! The rest follow the crowd and move for eight hundred miles!"

After saying this, both Luo Hong and Lin Dali changed their faces immediately.

They were not familiar with the law, and they did not expect this matter to be so serious.

Just in time, Ximen Gong came up to him panting with his breath, and looked around.

The vicious aura of the old officials, coupled with the shackles and iron rulers in the hands of Zaoyi, immediately cooled down the boiling blood of Lin Dali and others.

Thinking of Chen Chu's words just now, cold sweat broke out on Lin Dali and Luo Hong's heads.

"Simon Abbot."

However, Chen Chu stepped forward, stood in front of Luo Hong, Lin Dali and the others, and said in a low voice, "Brother, these fellows are all younger brothers, and just because of a joke, they played around for a while."

The sound was not loud, but standing behind Luo Hong, Lin Dali and others could still hear it.

Immediately he felt relieved, and looked at Chen Chu's back gratefully.

Naturally, Ximen Gong could tell if it was a 'joke', but with the current relationship between him and Chen Chu, the latter would have to save face when he opened his mouth.

Then he said in a deep voice: "Brother, since you said it, I won't embarrass these folks. But now the whole county is supporting the Watermelon Festival, so don't let your folks cause trouble during this period, so as not to ruin it." A great situation that is not easy to come by.”

"Brother knows."

Ximen Gong's words are not in a bureaucratic tone, Tongshan County is indeed in his eyes "a very good situation", and the Four Seas Trading Company can be described as making money every day.

At this time, whoever dares to destroy the "business environment" will be the enemy of Wuduo Jinhua and the whole county of Tongshan County.

Ximen Gong came quickly and left quickly.

When parting, Chen Chu still didn't forget that all the soapy clothes who had run towards Bai cupped their hands and said, "Recently, everyone has worked hard. When our Watermelon Festival ends, I invite everyone to Caiwei Pavilion for a drink."

"Haha, you're being polite."

"Good talk good talk."

A quarter of an hour later, Daoist Wugen helped Luo Hong bandage the wound.

Chen Chu took the two of them to a secluded grove.

Cai Wei, who had just come from Shizipo, did not avoid suspicion, and followed directly.

"Brother Dali, what did I tell you when I was in Zhuangzi?"

Chen Chu sat down on a tree stump and asked.

Hearing Chen Dutou calling 'Brother Dali' again like last year, Lin Dali patted his head in embarrassment, and said, "Dutou told me that unity is strength."

"I also said that poor people don't bully poor people!"

"Dutou, I didn't bully him, it's this old man surnamed Luo who robbed us of our livelihood!"

"My surname is Lin, could it be that the sand on the river beach belongs to your family?" Luo Hong had a blood-oozing white cloth wrapped around his head. He didn't dare to refute Chen Chu, but he was still not convinced by Lin Dali.

Seeing that the two were about to quarrel again, Chen Chu interrupted: "Is it okay to be a little promising! Just focus on this river sand business. They are all folks who don't look up and look down, but they are fighting for this petty profit! "

Lin Dali did not agree with Chen Dutou's statement of "small profits", two thousand dollars a day is not small!

However, Chen Chu continued, "How many livelihoods are there on the water? Instead of fighting for small profits, it's better for everyone to work together to make the cake bigger."

Luo Hong tasted something, and couldn't help saying: "Dutou, you mean."

Chen Chu paused for a while, and said, "I mean, you can't just look at the Bali River. There is also the Moon River and the Huai River downstream. You need to take a long-term view."

After a cup of tea, Luo Hong and Lin Dali walked out of the woods side by side.

Although the expressions of the two were still a little uncomfortable, they arched their hands at each other when they parted.

Outside the woods, Wulipu and Xilin Village, which are clearly separated, are very surprised.

Neither Lin Dali nor Luo Hong can be called villains, but the boundary between good and evil is inherently blurred. If today's incidents are left unchecked, everyone will taste the sweetness of solving problems violently. The transformation from good to evil may only be in one thought. between.

In later generations, in the process of rapid economic development, such people are not uncommon.

Just like Boss Gao who firmly believes that 'the bigger the storm, the more expensive the fish'.

in the woods.

Cai Wei leaned against the tree, grabbed a strand of braid hanging on her chest with one hand, and circled the braid with the other, tilting her head to look at Chen Chu.

She looked like an innocent and innocent little girl.

"Puppy, what you said just now is true? Do you really want them to get that Laoshizi gang?"

"Of course it's true. Could it be that I'm teasing them?"

"But the Huai River and the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal, which can be transported by water, are not in our Tongshan territory. Even if you help them build the water gang, there is no place to use your strength."

"Now you have seen it too. The watermelons in Tongshan County have been sold all over the world. After a long time, they must be coveted. Maybe in the county, others have nothing to do, but outside the county, we have the final say. If you want to make trade To become bigger and stronger, we must have our people take care of important commercial roads and waterways in the future.”

"Hee hee~" Cai Wei peeled a piece of watermelon candy and put it into her mouth, took two steps forward and sat in Chen Chu's arms, wrapping her snow-white arms around her neck like snakes, and said softly, "You're such a small head, you actually think about it?" Controlling the Grand Canal from Tokyo in the north to Yuhang in the south, how courageous it is!"

After finishing speaking, Cai Hua suddenly said again: "On weekdays, have you talked about these things with Little Wild Cat?"

Chen Chu shook his head.

Speaking of which, he really lacks someone around him who can discuss important matters. Da Lang and the eldest son are rough brothers. It is no problem for them to carry knives and chop people, but it is too unreliable to ask them for advice when something happens.

And Liu Changqing is limited to half a bottle of knowledge, and he is also not good at planning and discussing affairs.

Chen Chu didn't trust Tang Jing'an that much.

Cai Wei seems to have guessed what Chen Chu was thinking, "Puppy, Chen Xianzun was born in a Yingchuan family, and the young talents in the clan are as talented as a crucian carp crossing the river, especially his second brother Chen Jing'an, who is known for his talent. Qi Dai Zhou has been unemployed at home. If you can recruit him, it will definitely help you."

"I'm just an ordinary Dutou." Chen Chu looked at Cai Hua's rosy cherry petals that couldn't stop sucking on the candy, and sighed.

"What's wrong with your head?" Cai Wei said halfway, noticing the gaze of her lover, she couldn't help but grin, parted her red lips, bit half a piece of candy with her white teeth, and said vaguely, "Do you want to eat?"

"eat."

"Give"

Cai Hua leaned forward.

This hello, feed an episode.

noon.

Ru'er outside the woods waited and waited for the third lady to come out, so she couldn't help but went in to look for it.

But in the depths of the forest, he saw a scene that made people blush.

Ru'er hurried out and stopped outside the forest.

"Didn't you find anyone?" Peng Er, who was also waiting for Brother Chu, wondered.

"." Ru'er blushed and shook her head in panic.

"Found it?" Brother Peng asked again.

"." Ru'er still shook her head.

"Have you found it?"

The second brother Peng and the second monk Zhang Er couldn't figure it out, so he wanted to go into the forest to look for it himself.

Ru'er hurriedly grabbed Second Brother Peng and said, "Don't go!"
