Chapter 10 ten

The group of people who just arrived were representatives of the unemployed workers of the Huaguang Silk Weaving Factory, and they came to "settle accounts" with Tang Zijia's second boss. With the help of the cook Lao Bao, Diarrhea Xiao Wang and flower maker Lao Feng were able to close the double door at last; While helping Xiao Wang and Lao Feng resist the people outside with his left arm, he used his right hand to pull out the heavy sandalwood door bolt embedded in the wall.However, the wooden latch had just been pulled out halfway, and it had just been able to fasten the closed door. Diarrhea Xiaowang and flower maker Lao Feng had already been defeated, and three or four of the workers' representatives had already squeezed into the door by more than a foot. The thick door opening, seeing that this "head gate" is about to lose its hold.

However, just like a few seconds ago when the delegates were scrambling to grab the door and their own people were crowded, now these three are crowded in the narrow half of the door; It gave Lao Bao a huge opportunity.He grasped the half-drawn wooden door bolt with both hands, and sent it to the left with all his strength—"Yo!" One of the three representatives suddenly screamed wildly, and the wooden door bolt rushed across him and hit him. He had to retreat, and the wooden door bolt passed in front of him, but at this moment, the leftmost one among the three of them had thrown off the resisting gardener, Lao Feng, and entered the door with his whole body But the wooden door bolt also rushed past him and hit the door frame with a bang, blocking him and his companions outside.

This heavy wooden door bolt became a temporary "wire frame", and the three "Tang family generals" continued to resist the attack from the outside based on this temporary "wire frame", while fighting with the worker who was blocked inside. "Damn it! Hurt someone with your hands! Break down your prison door!" The people outside were chattering, fists and toes beating the closed door rattling. There was also a frantic shout of a woman's voice in the middle.This is Li Guiying, and she has made up her mind, she must find Shen Qing to fight for it. "The door—can't be knocked open! The door—strong! A thick wooden bar! Climb!—Climb through that door!"

The worker who was stopped inside wrestled with Xiaowang, and shouted outside as if he tore his throat. In fact, at this time, the workers outside were already trying their best to overcome the temporary "wire frame".Their tactic was not "climbing" but "drilling"—to get under the wooden latch.But half the opening is only about two feet wide, although there are many people outside, it is a pity that it is useless, and what's more, Lao Bao and the gardener Lao Feng are resisting desperately inside. The worker stopped inside turned out to be Huang Axiang; he met those "representatives" by accident, and only then did he know that his landlord, "Mr. Tang", turned out to be the chairman of the silk factory who owed him three months' wages; It turned out that he didn't owe the "landlord", but the "landlord" owed him; but just now he took the silk as collateral, and begged for "grace" for half a month, and finally got no result!His anger was no small matter.He suddenly gained a thousand catties of strength, he twisted Xiao Wang and only circled three or four times before knocking Xiao Wang down.He turned around and rushed at the old cook.However, Xiao Wang had already got up again, and bumped his head at Huang Axiang's waist.Huang Axiang was caught off guard and fell to the ground.Xiao Wang grabbed a bench and used it as a weapon.But Huang Axiang rolled on the ground, blocked the bench, grabbed Xiao Wang's foot, and roared as if he was stuffed in a box, Huang Axiang jumped up, but Xiao Wang was thrown by him about ten feet away. .Huang Axiang grabbed the bench and chased after him, but he tripped and almost fell.Taking advantage of this time, Xiao Wang quickly got up and fled into the second gate, then closed the second gate.

At this time, the people outside the gate have also switched to the "climbing" tactic.Two or three men had jumped on the wooden bar and attacked the gardener and cook from top to bottom. "Hey!——" The gardener seemed to have taken a kick, and backed away, and the cook followed suit. The "head gate" was broken, and people from outside all got in from under the latch.The last one to come in was Li Guiying, holding Huang Axiang's bag of silk.However, there were still dense crowds of people outside the gate, all of whom were watching the excitement from the neighbors.

The representatives gathered in front of the tightly closed second door, and were asking Lao Feng and Lao Bao if there was any other way to get in. Suddenly, the siren of "喈—喈——" sounded from far to near outside the gate, The spectators at the gate avoided one after another, and the policemen in a team of three kept rushing in. "What are you guys doing here? Do you know that trespassing on a house is against the law!" One of the policemen—it seemed to be the squad leader or something—went up to the workers' representatives and yelled. "We are the workers' representatives of the Huaguang Silk Factory, and we are here to collect debts,—"

"Ha, then you should go to the factory to ask for it!" "Huh! The factory has already closed—it's been closed for three months! There's not a single ghost in the factory! Here's Tang,——Tang Zijia, the boss of the factory. He owes us three months' wages!" "We still owe us three months' severance pay!" "Ask Tang Zijia to come out! He owes others, he ignores them, and they owe him—hmph! How fiercely he chases after him!" The last one to speak was Huang Axiang. The squad leader didn't seem to hear anything, he just looked at Li Guiying one by one.This young woman is obviously not a worker, nor does she look like a spectator.The squad leader pointed with his finger and called out:

"Hey, you—you woman, what are you doing here?" "Me? --" Li Guiying paused. "Don't worry about it!" His face turned red. "Hahaha!" The squad leader smiled.Suddenly he lowered his face and said to the workers' representatives: "Go! Begging for money is just begging for money, I don't care; if there is trouble, I have to deal with it! You know it's winter prevention, no crowds are allowed..." "Who came here to make trouble? They didn't let us in, that's why they made trouble!" Said on behalf of the one in the middle named Mazi, pointing to the cook Lao Bao and the flower maker Lao Feng.

"Ah! You want to see Mr. Tang, but Mr. Tang is not at home!" The cook, Laobao, cried out his grievances with a serious face. "Fuck your mother! Why don't you say you're not home? I just saw him with my own eyes!" Huang Axiang yelled angrily, and kicked the closed second door heavily with his foot.The representatives also acted together.One of them saw the abandoned bench and took it as a tool for knocking on the door.Mazi and three or four others grabbed the cook Lao Bao and the flower maker Lao Feng, and asked them to tell if there was another way to get in.Lao Bao Lai was spitting on the ground.A policeman came to interfere, and another policeman forbade the door, but how could it be restrained?There are many delegates.

"Bastards! Bastards! How dare you..." growled the squad leader, jumped around, and drew his pistol.Yet he dared not shoot.He was caught in the ranks of a dozen or so workers' representatives, and he knew that he would be overthrown himself if he fired at most one shot.He could only raise his gun to threaten. Li Guiying was so frightened that she trembled all over, and fled outside the gate.But she refused to leave, so she sat on the steps outside the gate and watched from a distance. Suddenly, the flower craftsman, Old Feng, shouted anxiously: "All right! All right! Let me go! The master is out!"

The representatives all turned to look.Sure enough, two people walked out shyly from an invisible lane; one was Zhu Runshen, and the other was old accountant Hu. "No! No! Tang Zijia is a short and fat man!" Huang Axiang was the first to yell, and the other representatives also yelled no.However, they all surrounded the two "nots".Zhu Run was so anxious that he just waved his hands, signed up and said, "My surname is Zhu, my surname is Zhu, and I'm a guest! A guest!" The accountant Lao Hu bowed again and again with a mournful face: "Everyone! Don't make a fuss, don't make a fuss! The second boss is really not at home! ... The wife is sick! Everyone! You have something to worry about! Everyone..." But when Lao Hu suddenly saw three policemen here, he became more courageous, and stopped bowing to each other, and no longer called "everyone" and "everyone", and his tone became a little tougher; he raised his voice, and continued: "The second boss is a shareholder. Yes, he is a shareholder. He has lost all his capital. How can he ask the second boss for the wages owed to you by the factory? Besides-there are several shareholders of the same shareholder, and you are not good. Just ask the second boss for it!..." "He's the chairman! If you don't look for him, who can you look for? No one else can find him!" one of the representatives shouted loudly. "Who are you? We only want Tang to come out!" "Hey - but the second boss is not at home!" "What are you talking about! I saw him just now—you were there too, so why are you blaming him in person?" Huang Axiang angrily took a step forward, puffing out his chest and facing Lao Hu's face. "Ahhhhhh, what about you? Hey, after you left, the second boss also left!" "Let's go in and search!" said the pockmarked voice. "Scary! Which one said to search? Can you search his house?" The police squad leader also intervened. "The second boss is not at home, what are you going to do! go!Gather the crowd..." "Even if you meet the second boss, he can't make the decision alone. We need to hold a board meeting, and we need everyone to discuss—" Zhu Runshen seemed to be reassured because of the presence of the police, and he also helped the old nonsense. "No! No! When the work was suspended, didn't the board of directors say that it would be paid out in a month? Later, they said that there was no money, and it would be paid by the end of the year. Isn't this the end of the year? The board of directors doesn't know where it is! We just look for Tang Zijia settles the score, he is the chairman!" The pockmark replied confidently. "Three months of salary! Three months of severance pay! Six months in total!" "It's the end of the year, we can't make it through!" As the workers' representatives spoke, they surrounded them tightly. Mazi and the others rushed past Lao Hu and ran into the small alley.However, this lane is dark and long, and Mazi and the others have to guard against "ambush" as they walk.After a while, it was finished, and a door was blocked.The door is very strong.They had to go out. At this time, Huang Axiang grabbed the accountant's old Hu's shoulder and yelled sharply: "You are Tang Zijia's accountant, we only ask for your surname Tang!" "Ah, ah!——" Lao Hu wanted to struggle again, but he didn't dare to struggle. He stared at Huang Axiang with wide eyes, suddenly smiled wryly, and said in a low voice, "Hey, my friend, it's so-so! The house you live in is still Second boss, let you stay for another month—" "Hey hey! Don't make trouble! Do you want to bribe me? Haha! Don't turn your mind around!" As Huang Axiang spoke, he grabbed Lao Hu's shoulder even harder. Mazi and the others also came out of the alley, yelling "I can't get in here", and ran to the other side of the second gate to search for a way in.Some of the representatives were still trying to break through the two doors.Two policemen crowded around to stop the yelling, but it had no effect at all. "Damn it! Your surname Tang hid in it for the rest of your life, and we will guard you for the rest of your life!" The representatives shouted angrily. Huang Axiang has already dragged Lao Hu a few steps away.The police squad leader rushed forward and shouted, "Let go! What are you doing!" He raised his pistol and pointed it at Huang Axiang's chest.But Huang Axiang was not afraid, he didn't let go, his eyes were burning red and looked straight at the squad leader, as if to say "huh"!Don't think that having a pistol is a big deal. " "Hey, friend, it's useless for you to eat and live with Mr. Hu; the second boss may not be willing to show up for Mr. Hu's sake!" Zhu Runshen explained from the side again. "That's right! It's useless for me to be imprisoned;—as the second boss is not at home..." "Are you still saying you're not at home!" Huang Axiang said sharply, and with all his strength, he gently lifted Lao Hu over.喈喈! —The squad leader immediately blew the siren.However, two of his subordinates were stopped by more workers' representatives and could not come to rescue. At this moment, suddenly a few workers ran in from the gate and shouted angrily: "Tang Zijia has escaped! The one surnamed Tang has escaped!" "What! Escaping?" Huang Axiang turned his face and asked anxiously.The squad leader took this opportunity to display his "stunt in life", stabbed Huang Axiang's hand with his pistol, and rescued the old accountant Hu. "Damn it!"——Huang Axiang rushed to fish with his backhand, but Zhu Runshen, the old accountant alley, had already shrunk into the opening of the alley, and the squad leader also rushed to the opening of the alley, with his back facing the alley, facing Huang Axiang, Raised his pistol. At this time, the workers who reported the letter also arrived in front of them.Huang Axiang knew them because they went to guard the back door of the Tang Mansion.The one in the middle, named Agui, was saying to Mazi: "Escaped! Climbed a short wall and escaped into someone's house! We saw it!" It turns out that the garden of the Tang mansion is directly connected to the back garden of Lin Huanweng, separated only by a short wall one person high; the second boss first asked Xiao Wang to climb over to negotiate with the Lin mansion, and then connected the two sides with a ladder. He goes over. "You saw it? Hey! Why didn't you catch him?" Huang Axiang hurriedly asked. "Ah! It's easy for you to say! It's half a garden away! You can see it, but you can't pass it!" Agui replied.Then he ran to the gate again, shouting loudly with other representatives. At this time the situation was completely different.Boss Tang Er really slipped away, even Lao Hu and Zhu Runshen escaped, but the police squad leader raised his pistol and guarded the small lane, with the spirit of "one man guarding the gate", his two subordinates were also there. next to him. At this time, the squad leader must have dared to shoot because he had no worries. Delegates gathered in the aisle inside the gate, discussing the solution noisily. Huang Axiang's eyes suddenly fell on Li Guiying outside the gate.She was still sitting on the edge of the steps looking in, hugging Huang Axiang's silk bag.Huang Axiang walked over and took the bag of silk from Li Guiying's hand, and just said "the one surnamed Tang has escaped", when he heard a sound of orderly steps coming from the other side of the street.He left Li Guiying behind, ran to the front of the gate to the right and took a look, then rushed into the gate and shouted: "A large number of policemen are coming!" The representatives were taken aback and immediately fell silent.The sound of footsteps was getting closer, and one could tell that there were a lot of people by hearing the sound.Suddenly the squad leader guarding the alley laughed and said: "You bastards! Don't leave! Wait for me to clean you up, haha!" This sentence reminded the representatives.They immediately thought that the large number of policemen must have been invited by Tang Zijia who escaped.The one surnamed Tang still wants to arrest someone! There is no need to discuss anything, the representatives will leave as soon as possible.Huang Axiang is at the end.When he passed in front of Li Guiying who was still sitting there in a daze, he greeted her and said, "Hey, let's go!" Li Guiying stood up as if she had woken up, and followed behind the representatives.However, when they passed the water-milled brick wall on the right side of the gate of the Tang Mansion, they heard noisy voices behind them, and the urgency of police sirens. In cold streets and alleys.Li Guiying also heard them shouting in confusion: "Go to the train station and watch him!" But some people also said, "Leave a few here on the street in front of us, and see if he returns to his nest tonight!" Li Guiying heard that this seemed to be Huang Axiang the sound of. Suddenly a dog jumped out from the darkness, barking wildly.Li Guiying was startled, turned around and ran into another street.She seemed to be sleepwalking, she didn't know how many ways to go, she didn't know where to go, and she forgot to be tired, although she walked more and more slowly, almost dragging her legs. However, the road ahead of her is getting brighter and brighter.She saw that evening supper had already been set up in some shops; she saw that the shop assistants ate slowly—seemingly comfortable and uncomfortable; Two or three shop assistants hurriedly threw away their bowls and chopsticks and stood up to call for business, but the man didn't buy anything, and just walked away as if fleeing.She suddenly thought that the shop at home must be so busy, and she suddenly felt hungry. She stopped at the corner of the street, checked the direction, and planned to go home.Suddenly, he caught a glimpse of a person hurriedly passing by on the street over there, who seemed to be Tang Shenqing.The sudden return of everything she had experienced in the past half hour made her heart ache.She has only one thought: to catch up with him!Get back that "credential"!She forgot to go home, forgot to be hungry, and turned around to follow the man.
