Chapter 1036: Underground Forces (I)
Tokyo Outer City West, Xiudefang, Willow Leaf Lane.
In a small courtyard that is not very inconspicuous, two people are whispering something in a room with a closed door:
"What does it mean to be the boss? There are already great benefits promised over there, and this time, as long as our brothers can cooperate with them, whether it is successful or not, three thousand taels of gold will be in hand. And as long as the fire is lit, there will be no more benefits for our brothers at that time. β
"What are you anxious about, I have already told the boss what you mean, and he also said that he would consider it, but he is still a little undecided. It's not that you don't know what the situation is in Tokyo right now, those soldiers and horses who came into the city are not good at stubble, they kill people without blinking, once they are really caught, the consequences are extremely serious. β
"How easily did it fall into their hands? They have only been in Tokyo for a few days, can they recognize the twists and turns of the road here? What's more, they still have scruples, they will be afraid of hurting those people, as long as our brothers take advantage of this, it will be enough to deal with them for a while. And we don't really want to fight them head-on, it's just to make some trouble in the city, and the initiative is ours......"
"What you say is true, but in the end, you still have to listen to the boss, you also know the boss's methods, if you dare to act in private against his will, no one can afford it."
"Hmph, why is Boss Cheng so procrastinating, such a good opportunity is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, maybe it can make our brother go from the dark to the light and become a high-ranking official in the imperial court......" His words were suddenly interrupted by a creak of the door, and then the dissatisfaction on his face turned into a stammering smile: "Cheng...... Become the Boss......"
Unexpectedly, the awe-inspiring "Cheng Boss" in the mouths of the two tiger-backed men was a slightly thin young man, and he didn't have the majesty that the heroes of the rivers and lakes should have on the surface, only when his eyes swept over the two of them, he brought out a fierce momentum like a knife.
But immediately, he took the momentum in his eyes again, smiled and lit up the wine jar in his hand and said, "I heard that Tan Lao Liu, you are here, I specially went to the city to find a jar of good wine to entertain guests." You also know that the city is in a mess right now, and it is not easy to get such a jar of good wine, so it has been delayed for a while. Why, it looks like you're a little dissatisfied. As he spoke, he had already entered the house, and naturally sat at the top, but the brothers on both sides outside the door had a feeling that they didn't even dare to breathe.
This Cheng boss doesn't look old, and his rise has been in the past two or three years, but the means are really ruthless, and he has almost suppressed most of the Taoist figures in Tokyo City, in a sense, his status is no longer under the leaders of the Ghost Fan Tower in Sanssouci Cave back then, and the influence may be greater. And in the past two years, almost all those who were enemies of him died in vain, and even their families quickly disappeared into the city, which was extremely terrifying.
Tan Laoliu, who was still showing a certain amount of dissatisfaction just now, completely changed at this time, and hurriedly nodded and said, "How dare you be a little one, I'm just worried about whether you are in trouble Cheng Boss, so I'm just a little anxious." β
"Really? That's good. Cheng Lao smiled and nodded, then took the wine bowl on the table, poured the wine on the altar for the three of them, and then looked at Tan Lao Liu and said, "Then let's get down to business." β
"Yes. The men over there contacted our brother in the afternoon, asking us to do something in the city of Tokyo to show the rebels, and preferably to disrupt the whole city. For example, arson, killing, if they can do it, it would be even better to burn a famous place like Fanlou, so as to cooperate with their next actions. "Sun Tu has just led the army to take Tokyo, and there are already people in the shadows who are ready to move, wanting to completely disrupt the entire city, and plan to take advantage of the fire!
Seeing that Boss Cheng was silent, he continued: "And the benefits they offer are really not low, as long as we nod, there will be 3,000 taels of gold delivered first, and once the matter is completed, there will be 50,000 taels of gold as a gift, plus we can be promoted to enter the officialdom at that time." Cheng Boss, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, as long as it is done, we brothers will have what we have always wanted, and we can do it. β
"What do you think?" Boss Cheng looked at the other person next to him again.
"It can be done, after all, this rebel army has just arrived in Tokyo, and its foothold is not stable, as long as we seize the opportunity, we can cause them a lot of trouble......" His words were quickly cut off by Boss Cheng: "I mean what do you think of the benefits they promised to give?" β
"This ...... It's true that we can't earn a lot of gold, and they are sincere enough. β
"I don't think so, with our current strength, we really want to be as unscrupulous as when we were in the ghost Fan Tower, not to mention tens of thousands of taels of gold, even hundreds of thousands of taels are not difficult." Boss Cheng shook his head: "As for the so-called official wish after the matter is completed, it is even more nonsense, I don't even know what the person behind him is, how can I believe in these future benefits?" You say yes, right? β
Tan Lao Liu immediately understood that Boss Cheng was turning a corner to inquire about the identity of the person behind him. This made him hesitate a little, the other party is now also controlled by the rebels, and his own people who have only been contacted through means will be leaked out, once they are found out by the other side, the consequences will be quite serious.
As if seeing his concerns, Boss Cheng sneered again: "Now you should see how much of their so-called sincerity has come to pass, right?" I don't even want to say the identity of the person behind the scenes, why do you believe that you will benefit my brothers after the deed is done? Don't give us a way to cross the river and tear down the bridge, unload the mill and kill the donkey, then we won't even have a place to shout about wrongdoing. β
Tan Lao Liu only felt a headache, he really didn't expect this Cheng Lao to be so cautious, and he even had to take this into account. Boss Cheng raised the bowl for a long time to make a toast, and after touching the two bowls with him, he said, "I really don't understand what these so-called nobles think." Since we can't believe it, let's not think of doing it by our strength. If you really want to ask us for help, don't always feel like you're on top and think about hiding your identity. They don't look at what time it is, if they don't have our help, they will definitely die, then Sun Tu is not a good man and a woman, as long as the situation in the city is stabilized, they will be killed. Now for them, there is no better choice but to ask me for help, then make everything clear and give me the benefits. β
He stared at Tan Lao Liu's eyes and said this, which immediately made the pressure on the other party increase sharply. If you think about it, that's really it. Now the forbidden troops in the city have all been disarmed, and the officials' mansions have long been surrounded by the rebels, and they can't do anything at all, so the only thing that can save the situation is indeed the power of believing in these city fox society rats.
After drying that bowl of wine, Tan Lao Liu finally made up his mind and said: "Let me tell you the truth, it's not one person and one family, it's the two families of Cai Liang, as well as the Han family, the Wen family, and the Lin family...... The families of these high-ranking officials in the DPRK and China instructed us to find us together. Now that you are the boss, you should believe their sincerity, right? With the property and status of these people, as long as the matter is successful, it is not a trivial matter to give tens of thousands of taels of gold, and then find a career for their brothers, how can they go back on their word afterwards? β
After Boss Cheng heard this, his eyes flashed: "I know all of them, but their people can't spread the news, depending on the situation, there should be someone outside to preside over the overall situation, right?" I want the identity of this person, and if you tell me who he is, I'll take it. β
"This ......" Tan Lao Liu had another headache, and he wanted to find someone to prevaricate in the past, but he knew that lying in front of this person would not work, because he knew Tokyo City too well. After hesitating for a moment, he finally gritted his teeth and said: "It was Li Wei and Old Man Li of the Li Family Commercial Bank who came forward to let us make a move, then the Li Family Commercial Bank already had close contacts with many nobles in the court, and he was not an official in the court, so it was much more convenient to act......
"It turned out to be him." Boss Cheng grinned, revealing Bai Sensen's teeth: "I really ignored this old thing, he really hid it quite deeply." That being the case......"
Tan Lao Liu only felt a little dizzy in his head, maybe it was because he was in a dilemma and thinking too much just now, but he was still happy in his heart, and he finally convinced this guy, the pressure on him from Boss Cheng was really not small. But as a result, at the moment when his smile just climbed up his cheeks, he heard a conclusion that made him feel terrible: "Then let's do it!" β
As soon as these words came out, in the courtyard outside the door, behind the brothers brought by Tan Lao Liu, two of Cheng Boss's subordinates had already shot at the same time, an iron fist like a hammer, like thunder, and hit the three unsuspecting men one after another, knocking them to the ground. The other person struck like the wind, his moves were both ruthless and dangerous, all of them were the opponent's waist and back, and his moves were faster than that person, and in the blink of an eye, he stabbed five men to the ground.
Tan Lao Liu watched his subordinates outside as if he had seen a ghost, and he exclaimed in his mouth: "Tie You Xia, Leng Ling abandoned...... Cheng Yayu you ......" was about to get up and fight to the death, but as soon as he got up with all his strength, he only felt that the sky was spinning, his head was dizzy, and the person fell softly again, and then he was horrified to find that he had been poisoned by sweat medicine, and it was completely the other party's way.
Cheng Yayu's face was full of sarcastic sneers at this time, and he glanced at the wine bowl in his hand that had not been reduced by half a point: "Remember in the future, you have to be careful when drinking with people, don't be fooled and put down." In this way, you can do great things, and you are doomed to failure! β

Look, today's passers-by have used hundreds of chapters of foreshadowing, so it's not too much to ask for a ticket or something, after all, they all forgot yesterdayγγγγγ
