Chapter 1525 A powerful enemy

Now, including Hao Qing himself, there are only ten people in total. Regardless of whether the next plan is for letters or for military purposes, such a small number of people is obviously not enough. Moreover, there are several injured people who have difficulty moving. If no arrangements are made in advance,

Well, when my gang runs away afterwards, leaving the injured in the local area will be a hidden danger that may lead to their identity being exposed.

Hao Qing is a ruthless person. The accumulation of many misfortunes throughout the day finally aroused his ferocity. He said with a black face: "Let's put other things aside for now. Do you have the messenger who injured our brothers?"

information?"

"Brother, do you want to avenge us?"

"Brother, my opponent is a native of Hangzhou. We have already found out the situation..."

When everyone heard Hao Qing ask about this matter, they suddenly became excited. They had suffered a big loss a few days ago, and naturally they had been thinking about how to retaliate. However, due to the limited manpower and lack of background, they simply did not dare.

They took action rashly. But now that Hao Qing was going to take charge of the matter, their confidence was immediately rekindled. After all, they had done a lot of big business under the leadership of Hao Qing in the past, and they rarely failed.

Only with this confidence could Qing be willing to endure hardships on the dock in Hangzhou, waiting to make a comeback with him.

After everyone talked about it, Hao Qing roughly knew the background of his opponent this time.

Because the Qiantang River Terminal outside Hangzhou is close to Hangzhou, the regional political and economic center city, and has a unique terrain, it has naturally become the cargo distribution center for the entire Hangzhou Bay and the lower reaches of the Qiantang River. And the fierce competition around here is not only in the

In the fields of commerce and shipping, it also appears in various related industries including cargo handling.

The continuous influx of large amounts of capital has changed the market share of various industries in a short period of time. The wealthy and powerful behind-the-scenes financiers are naturally eager to monopolize the industry they operate in this region. Even if it is dock handling,

Even the lowest menial jobs have begun to become monopolized.

The wharf workers on the Qiantang River originally formed a customary territory through long-term running-in. Which wharf and who will take over the work are generally relatively fixed. However, after the shipping industry suddenly prospered, it was originally fixed on a certain wharf.

There are not enough manpower to take over the work, and people are often called in from other areas that have no tasks for the time being. In this way, firstly, the original inherent land distribution is gradually broken, and secondly, some people realize the business opportunities and huge benefits, and start to

Merge small dock labor groups and implement various attacks on competitors.

If Ren Liang, who is in charge of public security affairs in Haihan, hears these things, he will probably immediately characterize them as "organized crime." However, in Hangzhou, the government is not yet aware of the social harm that such civil organizations may cause.

Of course, maybe even if they are aware of it, the yamen may not be willing to meddle in such nosy matters. After all, it is very rare that there are no official figures behind the large and small businesses in Hangzhou. No one can guarantee these capabilities.

Is there an adult behind the workers' group?

The labor organization that drove Hao Qing's men out of the dock worked for a man named Guo Ziping. This man was a native of Hangzhou. He was not in this industry in the past, but got a job in Haihan along the coast of Zhejiang.

After the right to trade, the number one figure suddenly appeared. This person was generous and quickly recruited a group of thugs to work for him. Then he successively merged with the labor groups of several docks and monopolized the freight business of these docks.

Then raise labor prices to obtain huge profits.

Although Guo Ziping is not the only one doing similar things at the Hangzhou wharf, he is the fastest expanding among them. In just a few months, he has already won the handling business of nearly half of the wharves outside Hangzhou. On these wharves

All workers must obey his organization and arrangements, and those who are not obedient enough, such as the group of people under Hao Qing, can only find excuses and be expelled from their original territory.

If their attitude had been a little softer at that time, they might have been able to resolve the matter peacefully. However, these people were originally water bandits, and they could not bear to be trampled on, so they stood up to resist, which resulted in the subsequent fierce conflict. Guo Ziping

I didn't know their identities, and I didn't feel any pressure to deal with such a group of workers with no background, so I just sent hundreds of people to beat them up. If Guo Ziping didn't want to cause trouble, he would have beaten them on the spot.

It is possible that several people will die.

In recent months, Hao Qing has seen some aspects of society that he had not had the opportunity to contact in the past, so he was a little more cautious. After listening to his subordinates' explanation, he asked: "Does Guo Ziping have any official background behind him? Or is it related to Hangzhou?"

Are you related to an adult? When someone under his command commits a crime, how do you resolve the lawsuit?"

The subordinates looked at each other and said they didn't know. These people were brave and ruthless, but they were completely laymen when it came to understanding and collecting intelligence information. At most, they could only pay attention to the places where Guo Ziping would appear on a daily basis.

They never thought to find out the details of this aspect. What they think of revenge is to pinpoint the opponent's whereabouts and then launch a sneak attack to kill or maim the opponent. That's what they said. As for the serious consequences that may result from this

, but they never thought about it at all.

Seeing this, Hao Qing could only sigh helplessly, knowing that his group of people were indeed not qualified for such a mission. If he wanted to ask them, he might as well go find out the information himself. But now he also has a mission,

How could he have more energy and time to deal with matters here? He wanted to change his words, but he felt that he had already said what he said. If he regretted it at this time, he would lose his prestige in front of his subordinates.

"Where does this person usually hang out? Is there any place where I can find him today?" Hao Qing thought for a while, at least his momentum should not be weak, otherwise if people's hearts are scattered, it will be difficult to lead the team in the future. Even if he pretends, it won't be easy.

You have to pretend that you want to seek revenge immediately, and we will see how to make things right later.

At that moment, someone responded: "Brother, this man took over the pier where we used to work. He was afraid that the people on the pier would be unstable, so he has been sitting on the pier recently. If brother goes now, I will come with him!"

Everyone claimed that it was, which made Hao Qing a little moved. These people would rather stay on the dock and work hard as laborers than wait for him to come out again. Moreover, they knew that the opponent's strength was not something that our own manpower could handle. These people

It shows your loyalty that you are still willing to follow him to your death.

Hao Qing thought for a while and felt that he had to calm down the emotions of his brothers first, otherwise he would lead this group of people there and start taking action without asking any questions. That was not the situation he wanted to see.

"Everyone, the opponent has a large number of people, and if they can gain a foothold here by fighting and killing, they must have the support of people from the government. If we fight hard against them, it will be difficult for us to take advantage. In my opinion,

, first find out the whereabouts of this person, then find a quiet area where there are few people, and give him a quick death." Hao Qing said while making a knife motion with his hand.

"Brother is right!" "Being outsmarted is the key!"

Everyone is not stupid. Since Hao Qing has said not to be tough, then everyone doesn't have to fight in vain. If you can get revenge as Hao Qing said, then why not do it?

Now that Hao Qing has made up his mind, everyone no longer cares about the work at hand, and plans to follow Hao Qing to the market. However, Hao Qing is worried that so many people traveling together will expose his whereabouts too easily, so he still lets everyone stay at the dock.

Go up, and only Noshichiro, who has the smartest brain, follows him.

Norishichiro was not yet eighteen years old. The reason why he hung out with Hao Qing and his gang was because his old man had taken care of Hao Qing in the past and was kind to him. Later, Norishichiro's parents passed away one after another, and Hao Qing took him

Keep it by your side. Normally, Noshichiro is not required to do errands that require hard work. Hao Qing usually assigns him some tasks such as inquiring about information, and Noshichiro is often able to complete these tasks better due to his flexible mind.

When this group of people clashed with Guo Ziping's men last time, Norishichiro saw that the situation was not going well and left early. He was the only one of the group to escape the disaster unscathed. However, everyone did not think that he was doing this.

The act of retreating in front of the battle actually suggested that Dianqirou was indeed not suitable to participate in this kind of armed conflict. As a result, Dianqirou's identity was not completely revealed, and the people on Guo Ziping's side probably did not recognize that he was the same as Hao Qing's group.

Man, this is one of the reasons why Hao Qing chose to take him with him.

The two of them first went to find a tea shop and sat down to have something to eat. Hao Qing asked about the conditions of the wounded, then took a piece of silver from his body and gave it to Norishichiro, asking him to go back and ask the doctor to come.

Let me take a good look at it and prescribe some medicine for the wound to be used first. Noshichiro agreed and carefully collected the money.

After the two finished eating, they walked to the pier where they had picked up the work. Hao Qing found a slightly higher river bank and stood on the river bank with Norishichiro to observe the movements on the pier.

"Brother, the man in black shirt sitting under the pergola is Guo Ziping!" It only took a moment for Norishichiro to find the traces of the target person from the dock, and he quickly informed Hao Qing.

From this angle, Hao Qing could only see the silhouette of Guo Ziping, and his appearance and figure were not very clear. There were several strong men with big shoulders and round waists standing around the pergola, but they were just idle and not doing anything.

They all looked like he had hired thugs. Occasionally, Guo Ziping would give instructions, and someone would go to the shore to talk to the foreman who was counting signatures and counting, presumably to settle the labor expenses.

Hao Qing knew that this kind of surveillance would probably last for a long time, so he asked Noshichiro to explain in detail the information he knew about Guo Ziping, reporting everything in detail first. Noshichiro was very obedient and followed him honestly.

Following Hao Qing's instructions, he began to recall the news he knew.

The two of them sat on the bank of the river for about an hour, both feeling dizzy from the sun. Hao Qing took out a few coins and asked Norishichiro to run errands and buy two bowls of herbal tea, which he poured into his stomach to feel slightly refreshed.

A little bit. Although he comes from a rough background, he has his own way of doing things. Since he has made up his mind to keep an eye on Guo Ziping's daily activities and look for opportunities to assassinate him to avenge his brothers, he will persevere no matter how hard it is.

Hao Qing expected that people like Guo Ziping would not be able to squat on this pier all day. There would definitely be other places where they needed to move around. As expected, in the afternoon, after Guo Ziping had lunch under the pergola, he took

Seven or eight of his men left the dock and headed towards the official road.

Hao Qing and Dian Qilang first hid on the side of the road, and then fell far behind them. Seeing that this group of people was not going to other docks along the Qiantang River bank, but heading towards Hangzhou City along the official road. Hao Qingxin

If Daoru enters the city of Hangzhou, as long as he touches the place where he stays, it will be easier to do something than outside the city. Li Song specially gave him a curfew pass token to make it easier to act at night. Maybe he can do it this time

It came in handy.

Unexpectedly, Guo Ziping and his party walked unhurriedly to the place that Hao Qing had just visited in the morning, and then went straight into one of the construction sites. When Hao Qing saw this, he cried out that he was lucky. It seemed that Guo Ziping

It actually has some connection with the task he wants to perform. Maybe he can do two tasks at the same time and solve the problem together.

But he immediately remembered that when Li Song deployed the mission the night before, he had told him to be careful in his actions and try not to involve the government, especially the detectives. The implication was that the target he was dealing with might have a deep connection with the six doors.

.If Guo Ziping is in the same group as the owner of the weaving workshop, it seems to explain why he can do whatever he wants at the Hangzhou dock.

At this time, Hao Qing realized more deeply what power is. These seemingly unrelated people and things are connected to form a large network of interests, and people like him try to destroy this large network. In fact,

It's just to make room for those who are weaving another big web.

Hao Qing pulled away from the chaotic thoughts and told Norichiro: "You think of a way to go to the construction site and find out what is the relationship between Guo Ziping and the owner there and why he appears.

In that place."

Noshichiro said: "Brother, it's impossible for Guo Ziping to live on this construction site. Is it useful to ask about this?"

Hao Qing did not expect that Norishichiro would question himself and scolded him angrily: "Whether it's useful or not, it's a task given to you. If you don't want to do it? If you don't want to do it, just go back to the dock!"

Norishichiro hurriedly said: "I'm willing to do it! I'm willing to do it! Here we go!"

Noshichiro did not dare to ask any more questions and hurried to the construction site. Hao Qing was not worried about how Noshichiro sneaked in. He knew that the child was quite clever and naturally had his own way to achieve his goal. All he had to do was wait patiently outside.

After a while. After about a while of drinking tea, Norishichiro came out of the construction site. He looked around and saw that no one was paying attention to him, and then hurried over to where Hao Qing was.
