Kai Fu Han

Chapter 52 Qinglinpu Martial Family

Seeing that Liu Xinqi's group of people didn't stop at all, the five port managers on the opposite side all drew their swords.

At this time, I saw Liu Xinbao pulling out two short guns from behind, changing the direction, placing the gun tips behind his hands, with the gun barrels facing forward, bending slightly, stepping hard with concentration, and rushed towards the five people. There were two team members behind him. He also rushed forward.

Liu Xinbao's left pistol shaft hit the leader's wrist holding the knife. The man didn't even react. Liu Xinqi smashed the knife to the ground. Then he moved the right pistol shaft horizontally and lightly swiped the side of his neck. , the leader who was hit by the gun barrel to the neck fell to the ground directly following the direction of the gun. The side of his head hit the ground, making a muffled sound such as "bang", and stopped moving.

During the interval between Lin Xinbao's actions, the two warriors following him crossed over to meet them respectively. They knocked their opponents to the ground in two or three blows. Before the remaining two could react, they were beaten by three others. Attacked again and knocked to the ground.

The five people who blocked the road were all knocked to the ground. The team led by Liu Xinqi had just taken a dozen steps, but the gap in combat power was too big. The three people who cleared the obstacle hurriedly took a few steps and continued to follow the team.

When people at the nearby port saw this, they knocked down the five thugs who usually showed off their power to the ground, and no one came up to make trouble.

Liu Xinqi successfully found the search boat that Zhao Liang just mentioned on the west side of the port. There were three people on the boat, all of whom were busy repairing the sails and cleaning the cabin.

Feeling that a large group of people were walking straight towards them, the three of them stopped what they were doing, stood up and looked in the direction of the coming people.

When he walked to the side of the boat, Liu Xinqi jumped onto the deck of the fishing boat, followed by Li Cang and Liu Xinbao.Due to the huge difference in size and momentum, the three were too frightened to talk to each other or make unnecessary movements. They just moved a little and stood together, timidly looking at the three people who jumped on the boat.

"Separately question these three people." Liu Xinqi said to the two soldiers who followed.

After hearing Liu Xinqi's arrangement, Li Cang and Liu Xinbao stepped forward, each taking one person with them, and walked towards the shore, leaving the oldest one to question Liu Xinqi.

"Don't, don't, don't hurt people. If you have something to say, we will cooperate well." Seeing the burly man boarding the boat, he directly carried the two of them to the shore without saying a word. The middle-aged man who stayed on the boat did not dare to To stop him, he could only say words of begging for mercy.

"I have a few questions to ask you, and you have to answer them truthfully. If you are obedient, I will not embarrass you, but if the answers between the three of you are different, I will sink you all into the sea." Liu Xinqi pretended to be evil and threatened. .

The middle-aged man and the two people who had just landed were trembling with fright when they heard Liu Xinqi's words.There was no way I wouldn't be afraid. There were more than 20 heavily armed men surrounding the three of them, and anyone would be timid if they left them alone.

"Excuse me, I must answer truthfully. I don't dare to hide anything." The middle-aged man replied quickly, speaking loudly, and he should have said it to the two people who came ashore.

When the distance between the three people was enough, Liu Xinqi asked: "How did the ship under your feet come from?

Hearing Liu Xinqi's question, the middle-aged man's eyes were a little dodgey, presumably because he felt guilty, and he couldn't hear clearly what he was saying.

Liu Xinqi drew out his short gun, pointed the tip of the gun at the middle-aged man's left chest, and said again: "Want to see if this gun is fast?"

"No, no, no, I said, I said, I bought this boat from the Wu family and it cost me thirteen dollars." The middle-aged man replied. "When did you buy it?" Liu Xinqi asked
"Twenty days ago, I remember it was 20 days." The middle-aged man replied.

"The carrying capacity of this ship must be more than 200 stones. You spent thirteen guan to buy it. Why can't I encounter such a good thing? Explain the truth in detail and tell me everything you know to satisfy me. Probably bypass you.”

"Okay, I said, I said..."

According to the middle-aged man, more than a dozen fishing boats came to Qinglinpu Port 20 days ago. The people on the boats knew at a glance that they were people fleeing from the north. After staying at the port for a night, these people left some people to guard them. The others disembarked from the boat and headed towards Laizhou City.

After the people left were gone, the Qinglinpu Wu family gathered more than 100 thugs and suddenly attacked the fishing boat parked in the port, captured all the people on board and took them away, and robbed everything on the boat.

In the end, more than a dozen people were left to sell the boats. At first, everyone knew that this was a stolen boat and no one dared to buy it. However, the people from the Wu family kept shouting, and the price was very cheap, and they guaranteed that no one would find it back. .He also promised that if someone found the boat and robbed it, the Wu family would pay back all the money they paid to buy the boat.

In the end, someone was still interested, and he was the first to go up and buy a boat. The price was indeed very cheap, less than [-]% of the market price, and the people watching the excitement were immediately moved.The middle-aged man was also present at the time, and he spent thirteen pennies first to buy this smaller one.

At this time, Liu Xinqi saw some commotion among the crowd watching in the distance at the port, and then saw that the crowd was separated by a gap. More than 30 people with swords squeezed in through the opening of the crowd and confronted the soldiers standing on the shore. .

Liu Xinqi did not rush over and continued to ask the middle-aged man: "Tell me what this Wu family does."

The middle-aged man also saw the person coming and became a little afraid to speak. However, after being threatened again by Liu Xinqi, he could only continue in a low voice: "This Wu family is one of the three principal families of Qinglin Pu. It is the southeast of Qing Lin Pu." People from Fang’s ‘Wujia Village’.”

Liu Xinqi then asked in detail, and the middle-aged man answered one by one.

I learned that there are three families in charge of Qinglin Pu, namely the Wu family, the Xu family and the Cui family. They are all from the villages around Qinglin Pu. These three families established Qinglin Pu on the deserted seaside decades ago. At first, it just provided some fresh water, food and docking and rest services for passing ships. Finally, it gradually bought its own ships and started shipping. It built permanent houses on the shore to make shops, inns, etc., and then expanded the port and built warehouses. wait.After decades of development, Qinglinpu now has a scale of about one mile in radius, with more than 100 boat berths and more than [-] houses and courtyards.

At present, the Wu family is the most powerful, followed by the Xu family and the Cui family. All three families want to monopolize Qinglinpu, but they are all unable to do so. This has created a situation where the Xu and Cui families are in alliance to compete with the Wu family.

Liu Xinqi asked the middle-aged man while paying attention to the confrontation on the shore with his peripheral vision.

Not long after the time passed, Liu Xinqi suddenly saw the leader of Qinglin Pu opposite, his expression became more and more agitated. He suddenly pulled out a knife and pointed it at Liu Xinang who was confronting him. The tip of the knife was less than one foot away from Liu Xinang's chest.

Seeing this situation, Liu Xinqi stopped asking questions, jumped off the boat and walked towards the two people confronting each other. He came to the side of the two people, looked at the leader and asked: "Are you from the Wu family?"
