由於平房本來就不大,原本四個人住在裡頭勉強過得去,但羅排、花子再住進來,就略顯擁擠。151Please respect copyright.PENANAqHKvZYMy2h
151Please respect copyright.PENANAoM3gWVOHp3
隔天一早,查理找羅排商量,打算在廟口附近合租一間二層樓的街屋;一樓讓他經營私塾,教教在地的孩子們讀書寫字,羅排和花子正好可以住在二樓。151Please respect copyright.PENANAeDsn7hD4xs
151Please respect copyright.PENANAidfMKPztWE
羅排帶著花子四處打零工,半年下來,身上多少攢了點錢;再說,花子和幾個大男人住在一起,也有諸多不便。聽查理這麼一說,兩人一拍即合,很快就把這事定了下來!151Please respect copyright.PENANAVQj7ZWw0hz
151Please respect copyright.PENANA6KcgFYzc4S
兩天後,晌午,小治帶羅排到保安宮向已故戰友們上香;回來時,看見一卡車的武裝士兵來到廟口!只見兵士們下車後,立刻衝進菜市裡!他們在菜市裡頭鬧騰得很,惹得攤商們無不雞飛狗跳、不得安寧!151Please respect copyright.PENANAvRR6SDkzbH
151Please respect copyright.PENANAdMtkWLXET3
領頭的是一名穿著藏青色中山裝的稽查員,他帶著一隊士兵在菜市裡,挨家挨戶的搜查!凡清單上名列在冊的「戰略物資」,一經查獲,當場沒收充公!151Please respect copyright.PENANAmMCJZAsbXK
151Please respect copyright.PENANA40t1ccB5DA
小治、羅排回到店舖後,先找蔡蓉了解一下情況。只見她氣急敗壞的抱怨道:「這個政府實在愈來愈毋視款!菸呷酒毋給人賺就準拄煞,這馬連米、鹽、糖也攏欲管,實在比日本人閣咔惡質!」151Please respect copyright.PENANAeei6XvCkOk
151Please respect copyright.PENANAawvLWzDiLm
雖說列管商貨是有所本,但實務操作上,如何判定商貨有無違規,就全憑稽查員說了算!151Please respect copyright.PENANAem1cQ3t88E
151Please respect copyright.PENANArDZ5HlcQi6
因為烤鴨舖位在市場入口第一攤,是首波遭查緝的頭幾家店舖,所以稍早稽查隊伍已先來舖裡查過一回。151Please respect copyright.PENANAKQCltfGNuH
151Please respect copyright.PENANAJiIlE0cpzq
雖然店舖裡的商品,無一項列在清單上,但稽查員仍對著架上吊的烤鴨,桌上擺的生鴨蛋、鹹鴨蛋、皮鴨蛋等等商品指手畫腳,示意這些也都屬於「管制品」!151Please respect copyright.PENANAwqPtzqldcc
151Please respect copyright.PENANAimTO2SGeI4
以往稽查時所面對的攤商,幾乎沒人會講國語,其中還有很多人不識字;所以他們的「SOP」(標準作業流程)就是先秀一下公文和琳琅滿目的清單,然後再隨便瞎比畫兩下,看中什麼、沒收什麼!反正仗著台灣人聽不懂或不識漢字,任憑他們愛怎麼說,就怎麼說,是狐假虎威,魚肉鄉里!151Please respect copyright.PENANAJX3XMswKg0
151Please respect copyright.PENANA3bmiNu7rpk
可令稽查員出乎意料的是,今天查緝的第一攤就是塊鐵板!這「大輪車烤鴨舖」不一般,不但裡頭的人懂國語,還識字,一眼就識破他們的伎倆!151Please respect copyright.PENANAj44lkhLOkx
151Please respect copyright.PENANAGGE66V0PIY
剛開始,現場情況一度緊張!尤其是浩克,仗著自己一身魁武健壯的體格,肉刀一剁,立在砧板上,一副不怕跟人輸贏的姿態!後來是蔡蓉先按奈住浩克,再從櫃檯裡拿出預備好的紅包塞給稽查員,這才有驚無險地打發走他們!151Please respect copyright.PENANAuuIAuxX0sS
151Please respect copyright.PENANAyLZhmx1uZZ
事後蔡蓉說:「海川有交代,菜市仔人多也複雜,平常時準備一些買路財,若『萬不二』(萬一)堵著惡人,可以買一個和氣生財。」151Please respect copyright.PENANA0FkRiiwBNm
151Please respect copyright.PENANA55a6EAfB0L
烤鴨舖是平安下了莊,可其他攤商就沒這般好運,大部分都還是遭了殃!151Please respect copyright.PENANAEZqxygMNq3
151Please respect copyright.PENANAwUW4dr4k19
由於通貨膨脹的關係,入夏後的景氣是每況愈下!生意本來就難做了,如今又來這茬,惹得菜市的攤商們是議論紛紛、怨聲載道!151Please respect copyright.PENANAwy1uSX9XT9
151Please respect copyright.PENANAXRw6zf3A1x
尤其是對街的糧行,更是倒了大楣!店裡商貨全是列為戰略物資的管制品,稽查員帶隊登門,上來就是一聲令下,悉數充公,完全不給商量的餘地!151Please respect copyright.PENANAcQNgoSXQib
151Please respect copyright.PENANAVV1kItHIld
阿丁趕緊跑來找浩克求助!因為語言不通的關係,她與外婆兩人完全無法和官兵們溝通!她知道浩克懂國語,希望能他能出面幫忙說情,不要把店裡的米糧全部押走。151Please respect copyright.PENANAwm2XifgvPp
151Please respect copyright.PENANA6o2tXHtaqK
浩克本來就憋著一股怒氣,正愁沒處宣洩!這下可倒好,看到阿丁一番苦苦哀求,他心中忿忿不平的怒火再也壓抑不住,掄起扁擔竿,大步一邁,便前去找稽查員理論!151Please respect copyright.PENANAZBD8aydxzo
151Please respect copyright.PENANAukccpG0M63
糧行在廟口菜市經營多年,鄰里街坊也都熟識;原本鄉親們見稽查隊伍圍著糧行婆孫倆,仗勢欺人,是敢怒不敢言!當浩克手執扁擔竿站出來挑事後,許多攤商都義憤填膺的聚過來關切!此外,還有更多看熱鬧的群眾,也圍在一旁助陣、起鬨!151Please respect copyright.PENANArNc9iijDWY
151Please respect copyright.PENANArgxWInPuZl
仗著鄉親們的聲勢相挺,這下浩克底氣更足了,乾脆自告奮勇站出來,代表廟口菜市的攤商們,用國語向稽查員提出交涉與抗議!151Please respect copyright.PENANA5vkNuGuhrz
151Please respect copyright.PENANA9mj58q4zUu
「唷喝,你是從哪蹦出來的二楞子?」稽查員輕蔑地對浩克嘲諷道:「剛才在你們店裡放過你們一馬......怎麼,覺得自己有點本事,不服氣,想幫他們出頭是嗎?」151Please respect copyright.PENANAt3Toi7K9uY
151Please respect copyright.PENANAw9gsJxFJLP
這時,兵隊的排長湊了過來,示意稽查員看一下對面烤鴨舖前所立旗幡。151Please respect copyright.PENANArA3FZV2NW0
151Please respect copyright.PENANApPbcnsFjrD
「大輪車?」稽查員撇了一眼後,不屑地說:「什麼亂七八糟的東西!」151Please respect copyright.PENANAoeDW0VCtyC
151Please respect copyright.PENANACZNZM9IJ4A
排長見稽查員不明就裡,趕緊跟他解釋道:「『巡座』您來的晚,不知此前發生什麼事。我聽說去年底有一幫人稱『大輪車』的兵痞,打死打傷憲兵隊幾十來人!我是想,他們該不會就是那群兵痞!」151Please respect copyright.PENANAaBc6PaA640
151Please respect copyright.PENANAWOIgdvEeyo
稽查員按住腰間的配槍,不以為然地說:「瞎說啥子呢,日本鬼子俺都沒在怕了,還會怕兵痞?」151Please respect copyright.PENANA5fH7iXSRWN
151Please respect copyright.PENANAnvgf3VeVkS
稽查員仗著自己有槍,後頭還有一卡車的武裝士兵,完全沒有妥協的意思!於是雙方人馬就這麼僵持著,誰都不願退讓半步!151Please respect copyright.PENANAAWsEJyv5iN
151Please respect copyright.PENANAFO3xecyj0p
過了一會兒,俊泰騎著腳踏車回來了。剛才浩克衝出去的下一秒,查理就叫俊泰趕快去派出所報案!可是等了半天,卻沒見到半個警察來!151Please respect copyright.PENANApmnWlAaSrA
151Please respect copyright.PENANAuneSdmgpXN
俊泰說:「警察一聽到是軍隊來的人,全他媽都躲著,死活不想管!」與此同時,於糧行前對峙的人馬開始出現推擠!叫罵聲此起彼落,越發激烈,情勢開始有失控的跡象!151Please respect copyright.PENANAVIcJ7JbKf2
151Please respect copyright.PENANAoyZN9nPE7c
此時人在櫃臺裡的蔡蓉,一臉神情凝重,內心焦慮萬分!心想:偏偏這個時刻,海川和金富卻都不在!151Please respect copyright.PENANAa9WJA7UMvo
151Please respect copyright.PENANA0PbsgF8iNl
「『安呢落去』(這樣下去)也不是辦法!」蔡蓉嘴裡嘀咕的同時,還不斷環顧四周,欲找尋小治的身影。151Please respect copyright.PENANAtXPRRPmf1G
151Please respect copyright.PENANAYSap1SDFMg
這時的小治,與羅排、俊泰一起夾在浩克和稽查員中間!他們正試圖緩解雙方矛盾,以免勢態進一步惡化。151Please respect copyright.PENANAsXCz98hwkt
151Please respect copyright.PENANAbVzGNzxNq9
「你們今天都在忙什麼呢?怎麼那麼熱鬧!」就在大夥一籌莫展之際,一道熟悉的聲線從另一側傳來。原來是弘爺,他和阿偉兩人今天正好放假,剛抵達江仔嘴欲找羅排敘舊,沒想到竟趕上稽查隊查緝這攤事!151Please respect copyright.PENANASPVoMm28Mx
151Please respect copyright.PENANAVurqAGpP5D
查理一看到弘爺、阿偉出現,趕緊向他們說明事情的來由;二人得知情況後,隨即前往關切!151Please respect copyright.PENANA7Yne1ZxNRf
151Please respect copyright.PENANAAkVvBtcdEg
其實他們倆最近也常被派出去支援查緝,所以心底清楚的很,眼前這幫官兵來到這裡,所為何事!走去的路上,阿偉還興奮地捲起袖子,做出準備打架的姿態!151Please respect copyright.PENANAi3NOjbQ1Ow
151Please respect copyright.PENANATOU9idOQtH
小治、浩克、羅排、俊泰,四人一看到弘爺和阿偉出現,彷彿吃了定心丸!小治還暗自慶幸:太棒了,神隊友終於出現!
