"The moon is dark and the wind is high. Be careful of the fire."

In the factory area of half the city outside xuanzhu County, the smelting factory of Jingjia, and the whistle around the high wall of the plant, old LV, who was dozing off, was awakened by the sound from below.

It was quiet around, the street lights were bright, and there seemed to be a dog barking in the distance. Old man Lu stretched out his head, looked at the two security guards on patrol, yawned and said, "auspicious Royal exemption, auspicious Royal exemption... Alas, Lao Li, do you have wine? You suddenly become addicted."

"There's urine. I'll give you a pee when you come down." an old security guard sneered. He didn't bother to pay attention to old Lu, an alcoholic, and continued to patrol around the factory with young security guards.

The five chambers of Commerce of silver and blood almost monopolize a certain industry, such as the military industry of Tingjia, the light textile of Quanjia, the land transportation of Luojia... While Jingjia monopolizes the steel industry. In addition to the red moon fortress, the Jings also have three mines in Dongyang district. They have a total of eight smelting plants, five of which are near xuanzhu county. For a long time, "Jinggang" was the spokesman of "Dongyang iron and steel".

Steelmaking requires a large field and equipment, and it is very easy to cause safety accidents - there are not a few workers who die in the factory every year - so Jingjia attaches great importance to plant safety. Other factories at most arrange an uncle to watch the door, while the smelting factory has built four sentries around the wall and arranged four night watchmen. Moreover, the factory is very close to the criminal patrol and security branch, and can get support quickly in case of anything.

The "outer city and half city" where the factory area is located is a special place. First, it is actually outside the outer city and has no wall protection. Second, it is surrounded by the branches of the xuanjiang River, which not only facilitates the factory to use water, but also allows the factory to build the proposed defense facilities by the river. Therefore, it is called "half city".

The night guard is divided into two teams, one at the door and the other patrolling around and inside the plant. They rotate every 15 minutes, which is quite frequent. When the patrolling security guard passes by the sentry, he should talk to the watchman about the slogan. First, he should ask if anything has happened, and second, he should remind the watchman not to doze off - the capitalist asks you to come back is not to sleep.

Because the patrol security guard didn't have to sleep himself, he was naturally willing to wake up. He could sit in the sentry all night and watch people.

But human sleep will not end. Even if he was woken up every 15 minutes, old Lu still fell asleep again soon.

In fact, he didn't sleep during the day, but sleeping at work always gave him an inexplicable sense of peace of mind.

However, the sleep of the elderly was always shallow, and old man Lu was soon awakened by a strange noise. He rubbed his eyes and was surprised to find that there was a cry of killing from the front door of the factory.

What's going on?

Have workers come to ask for pay again?

Old man Lu used to be a worker of the Jing family. Naturally, he knew the door inside. When working long-term in the factory, the salary is usually paid once a year, but not everyone can get it. After all, the worker's salary is the place with the most oil and water, and Jingjia cadres will touch it up and down.

Generally speaking, workers can get two-thirds of their wages. Even if they are lucky, they can thank God; If you only get half, it means you don't have a good relationship with the cadres. You don't run errands and flatter the cadres at ordinary times; If you only get one third, it means that you have offended the cadres at ordinary times, and you may be caught lazy.

The most miserable workers, of course, do not get the money - they may not be lazy, or even the most diligent people, but they are unlucky: they are found to be bullied by cadres.

Yes, if you are underpaid in xuanzhu County, it is not because you offend others, not because you are lazy at work, nor because you are bullied.

Cadres are not fools. How can they not know that if they don't give any money, they will let the workers die? But since they dare to do so, it proves that they are confident that the workers will not resist and are unable to resist. Moreover, there are not many workers in this part, which can not become a climate. Other workers who get the money will not help them. Therefore, there are many unpaid workers every year.

The existence of Outland gangs also stems from various demands, and workers' Arrears of wages is one of them. Of course, gangs will not help workers to ask for wages and offend capitalists, but they have the ability to threaten factory cadres - cadres are just dogs of the chamber of Commerce, not people of silver blood. When they are beaten, they can only solve it by themselves, and no one gives them a lead.

Therefore, if workers join gangs, cadres generally do not engage in such workers, which is a kind of balanced tacit understanding.

Of course, joining gangs also requires paying "protection fees.". If you are unlucky, you just pay the protection fee, but the gang is swallowed up by other gangs - such as the now extinct Yitian gang - you have to pay money to other gangs again.

Under such a heavy search for "income redistribution" and "value-added service tax", workers naturally take away most of their annual salary, but if workers save a little, they can still make a living.

And the worst group of workers, because they didn't get the money, almost had to wait to die.

Sometimes they wait to die, but sometimes they don't.

Rabbits will bite people when they are anxious. When people are dying, they will naturally summon up their courage and gather dozens of people to make trouble at the gate of the factory to ask for salary. Old man Lu has lived for more than 50 years and has long been familiar with this kind of thing.

As for success, it depends on the mood of the supervisor. If the supervisor thinks that the factory will be short of people next year and needs to give the workers a little sweetness, he may be merciful and pay some money; If the supervisor thinks that the factory can recruit people at random, he is naturally too lazy to pay attention to the poor and directly orders the security guard to beat them out.

Old man Lu felt that they would come to ask for salary this time, which would really hit the iron plate - the refugees in the sky outside the city can go up in a beehive with a shout of recruitment bag. They are not afraid that they can't recruit people at all.

And old man Lu heard that the factory plans to recruit fewer people next year. After all, there are wars everywhere these days, and the freight doesn't go out. On the one hand, there are few recruits, and on the other hand, there are refugees who are willing to work hard just by eating. You know what the factory will choose. Think about it with the gray nails on your toes.

Because old man Lu was an old worker, the watchman didn't earn much money, so the cadres didn't deduct him much. At least they gave him a little money to buy a cigarette. However, he is ready to stay even if the cadres deduct their wages - he can't find a job outside, and he can at least have a meal here.

As for going home to find his son... Oh, he doesn't have such a good face, and his daughter-in-law is very hot. It's better to raise an old-age pension here than go back and make trouble for his son.

Just when old man Lu was thinking, he found that the sound on the other side of the main door was getting louder and louder until a harsh sound cut through the night sky——

Bang!

It's a gunshot!

Old man Lu was so frightened that he sat down in the whistle and trembled. The gunshot sounded like a charge. When the first gunshot sounded, the whole city also sounded a chaotic and harsh gunshot in all directions!

Shouts of killing and swearing, and the whole half of the city began to chaos!

Boom!

There was a loud noise in the direction of the front door. Old man Lu immediately realized what had happened - the factory gate was blown open!

"Fire! Fire!"

"Somebody put out the fire!"

"Revolt! They revolt!"

"Where's the patrol guard? Where's the patrol guard?"

Old man Lu hid in the whistle and heard the explosion of thunder and fire outside. He didn't dare to stand up at all. He just wanted to wait quietly for the arrival of the criminal patrol and guard team. Similar things had happened before. The workers collectively asked for pay. Someone killed one of the workers by mistake, causing a violent conflict, but the criminal patrol and guard team stationed in the outer city soon arrived and quickly suppressed the criminals.

Moreover, these mobs certainly dare not stay long. They must withdraw after killing and setting fire!

Sure enough, after more than ten minutes, old man Lu heard the cry of killing outside gradually weakened, and the destroyers seemed to evacuate from the factory, but there was a fierce gunshot from the direction of the outer city - the patrol and punishment guard brigade came!

That is great!

How can those thieves defeat the criminal guards?

Old man Lu's mind is floating - should I go out and shout? If others find me staying in the whistle, they will say I'm lazy, but if I go down now, I can prove that I can fight back, and there may be rewards

Just as he was about to leave sengda, a powerful voice came from the main road in the factory area:

"Everyone, everyone, give up chasing the thief, give up chasing the thief!"

"First treat the wounded and put out the fire! Treat the wounded and put out the fire!"

"I'm Jing Zhengwei of the Jing family. Everyone listens to my orders, gives up pursuit and gives priority to fighting the fire!"

"Medical officer, go and save people!"

Old man Lu stood up in amazement and saw several light trucks passing through the factory street. A young man was standing on the back seat of the front truck with a loudspeaker, shouting loudly, followed by dozens of heavily armed bodyguards. The stunned security guards in various factories seemed to find the backbone. Under the command of this outsider, they began to carry the wounded and put out the fire in an orderly manner.

"There are too many wounded people. Send someone to patrol the criminal guard. In the name of the Jing family, let them send medical officers and a group of people. Fire fighting is more important than pursuit!"

"Put out the near fire first, and then the far fire!"

Old man Lu left the whistle and ran down. He saw that the young man actually rolled up his sleeves and went to carry the bucket together. He couldn't help but go over and say, "young master, I, I'm the watchman of your factory..."

"Hmm? It's hard for you tonight, sir. Sit aside first."

Old man Lu was flattered: "I don't dare, but the factory over there is also on fire. Young master, go and put out the fire!"

The young man looked along his fingers and shook his head: "the other side is a little far from the water source. First save the near fire here, and then save the far fire there!"

"This, this..."

"Don't be afraid, the loss tonight is not on your head!" the young man's voice suddenly increased eight degrees: "listen, everyone, participate in fire fighting and treatment of the wounded tonight. You can get a reward from Jing Zhengwei later!"

"Save people first, put out the fire first!"

Everyone's eyes changed when they heard that the eldest young master of the Jing family was willing to sprinkle money for this.

When the first ray of sunshine shines on Dongyang in the morning, the name Jing Zhengwei is already known in xuanzhu county.

……

……

Yue Yu pushed open the heavy mahogany gate of the main hall of Jingyuan, and walked into the conference hall with a gloomy face.

Jing Qinghu sat on the main seat, several elders of the clan sat on the right, and Jing Zhengwu, Jing Zhengfeng and Jing Zhengtang sat on the left.

When Yue Yu came in, everyone looked at him.

Yue Yu was not polite. He pointed directly at Jing Zhengwu's nose and scolded:

"It's all your good deeds. Now it's not only our Jing family, but also other chambers of Commerce... Our Jing family is going to die!"
