Chapter XXIII: Confessional Places
The three people who suddenly appeared on the side of the street were from another gang in Liverpool, and Qi Si's gang usually did not clash with each other much, so such an unwarranted sudden provocation, on the premise that there was no interest, when the time came to hold them accountable, the three of them would definitely be punished accordingly.
Rodney held the umbrella in front of his chest, and wanted to use his chin to proudly face the two people in front of him who had long been displeasing to the eyes, but unfortunately as soon as he raised his head, his eyes were drenched in rain, and he quickly lowered his head and rubbed it.
"Hahahaha. Leon pointed at them with his right hand holding a dagger, and bent down with a smile, "What did you drink at the 'Black Rose' tonight, horse pee?"
After the embarrassment, Rodney became angry, "I'm going to kill you bitch!"
The three of them took out the guy and slowly approached forward, the rain made their hair wet and stick to their faces, coupled with the cold sea breeze blowing from the port of Liverpool, the three of them looked a little shivering, but they just refused to open the only umbrella, if they hadn't dealt with it before, Qi Si really thought that he had encountered three retarded people who ran out of the hospital late at night.
Rodney sneered: "Leon, you are going to the dock to pick up the goods now, now break your legs, how about you crawl to the dock with your hands?"
Leon said disdainfully, "Rodney, are you trying to start a gang scuffle? You know the consequences of delaying me and Smith to pick up the goods." ”
Qi Si looked at the three people who were really ready to make a move, frowned and asked, "What, Rodney, are you going to break the 'rules' tonight?"
Gang losses caused by malicious brawls, especially in sensitive matters such as receiving goods, the provocative party will be jointly suppressed by all Liverpool gangs, which is one of the norms of Liverpool's underground society.
However, tonight it seems that someone is actively trying to break it and provoke the "rules" that allow Liverpool's underworld to run well.
Rodney laughed wildly and said, "Fuck the code of conduct, are we good law-abiding citizens? Tonight, Lao Tzu is the rule!"
"Break their legs, fuck Leon, you brute who only knows how to cheat women, I'm going to smash your balls one by one with a baseball bat tonight. ”
Qi Si shrugged his shoulders, looked at Rodney, who was obviously not in his right mind, and said, "My brother, if he didn't take too many drugs, then did you do something to the woman he liked?"
Dodging the stabbing dagger sideways, Leon punched the blue sweatshirt in the face, accompanied by a painful moan, and the crisp sound of the broken nose bone was clearly audible, "Uh, sorry, I don't remember, if that's the case, then I'll definitely go to that young lady tomorrow to have a close conversation again." ”
"Die for me!", Rodney was like a fried rooster, holding an umbrella in his left hand and holding a baseball bat in his right hand and smashing it high with his right hand.
Leon slammed his left foot on the ground, making a splash, and his right leg was accumulating, and the latter came first to Rodney's chest, and with a click, the umbrella bone broke in the middle.
Here Qi Si also easily solved the dirty pigtail brother, standing in place is very helpless, it is not the first time, it seems that it is very likely that his brother's inappropriate life style caused this unwarranted disaster.
Tragically, such a brawl is not a violation of the rules, but only a personal grudge caused by an emotional dispute.
For Qi Si, such fights and brawls are really a very boring thing, just for the sake of his own identity, he has to maintain an image on the surface.
"You're done!" Rodney sat down in the rain on the ground, as if forgetting the sharp pain in his chest, stared blankly at the broken umbrella on his chest, pointed at the two and roared, "You are dead! You know, this is an umbrella for that honorable lord! Let the damned Jerome collect your body!"
"yes, I'm looking forward to it. Qi Si smiled and Leon left, gradually pulling away the three thugs with blue noses and swollen faces behind him.
The three of them were like poor frozen quails in the cold rain, but no one dared to complain about such a long wait, including Rodney, who had the worst temper.
First the sound of bells came from a distance, an old-fashioned oil lamp emerged in the darkness, followed by the clatter of horses' hooves, and an old-fashioned carriage with a cross carved into it slowly approached.
The wooden door creaked open, and after a white robe got out of the carriage, he nodded his head in thanks to the coachman who was dressed very retro, and then walked over to the three of them.
Rodney and his two brothers, after five minutes of waiting, finally waited for this middle-aged man who was thinking about the twilight of the night.
"Uncle Yell~" Rodney's face turned pale and cried miserably to the visitor: "The umbrella prepared for you was broken by two scum of Jerome's men"
Next to the dim street lamp, there stood a middle-aged man, dressed in the most common white robe of the church, which had been washed and somewhat worn, with a small silver cross on his chest, and in addition, the biggest feature should be the dilemma that every middle-aged man would encounter, some Mediterranean brown hair, trying to comb it to the middle, so that the hair volume looked quite thick.
He struggled to maintain the amiable image of a simple clergyman with hair loss, but if he looked closely enough, he would find that the handmade Italian leather shoes on his feet seemed to be a little out of place with the outfit.
This middle-aged man with hair loss is a small bishop of a branch church in Liverpool, and even calling him a bishop is a bit reluctant, for Yael, who only works with wedding blessings every day, it is more appropriate to call him a priest, in addition to the position of the church, Yael also has an identity that only few people know, one of the Liverpool gangsters, Rodney's uncle, in order to maintain the bright image of his clergy, Yael rarely takes the initiative to contact his nephew who is like a bedbug in his eyes.
Of course, this does not prevent Rodney from donating to himself on behalf of the gang, and he will also use the power of the church to help them dredge up the relationship at some point, Yael understands that it is difficult for him to be promoted in the church position, so the small help to his pious nephew and his generous boss must be allowed by the Lord, Yael has always felt that the money enough to put himself in the "sacramental ministry" is the reward of his faithful service to my lord over the years.
Such a peaceful and hedonistic life was already very good for a middle-aged man, but tonight there was a message from the church that made Yael feel as if he had returned to the Lord's gaze.
Unlike the public reward announced by the police, Yael received an internal notice that as long as the injured Chinese can be caught tonight and his belongings handed over, the doors of the London Cathedral will be cordially opened for him.
Even tonight, every clergyman has a "place of repentance", and Yael is divided into three, that is, Yael tonight has the right to purify the three "believers of Satan".
So Yael took the initiative to contact his nephew, in addition to asking them to help him find the Chinese, even if he failed in the end, he could use the "confession quota" to help them eradicate the bosses of one or two gangs, and those forces and industries that were divided would naturally become their own rich rewards in the future.
Whatever the result, it's all earned for yourself.
Yael wondered, "Jerome?"
