There is a mansion in the north of Suzhou City, which has no name. It also looks tattered on the outside, and even pedestrians don't look twice when they pass by. Lately, however, there have been many people coming and going in this house, with all kinds of clothing, robes, tattered shirts, aprons, and even topless.

An old man dressed in a thin shirt stood in the middle of the hall of the mansion. The people around exchanged heads and ears, and the voices of discussion came and went. The old man coughed lightly, and everyone fell silent.

The old man's eyes circled around and saw that someone had not arrived. He shook his head slightly. A young man next to him asked the old man with his eyes, and after seeing the nod, the man cleared his throat and said loudly: "Please calm down, wait a while, we will have this major discussion of our gang." ”

There was a commotion in the crowd.

"Quiet!quiet!". There was obviously a bit of anger in the man's words.

"Did you get any information about what you're going to discuss this time?" a gruff voice came from the crowd.

"It is said to be related to the imperial court," another voice came from the side.

"I've heard that the gang in Suzhou is going to be integrated. ”

"How did I hear that the big boss is going to change? The big boss hasn't appeared in years..."

The various voices of the hall are intertwined. The man looked at the old man with a hint of inquiry in his eyes. But the old man shook his head, as if he didn't want to pay attention to these remarks.

A chair was placed in the center of the hall, two on the left and two on the left. As we all know, these five chairs represent the right to speak. But the chair in the middle hadn't been seen sitting in years, and even some of the newcomers didn't know what the big boss looked like. But they didn't care, since they joined the gang, it was the old man and this man who were in charge, and the two of them sat on the first chair on the left and right respectively. The other two chairs are in charge of finance and back-office.

Seeing that an hour had passed, the young man was a little angry, and walked out of the hall and walked to the backyard to pacing.

What did the old man think? Do you really want to do this?

From the moment he sat in that chair, the young man realized that this was not just a gang. It is an "appendage" of a dark list bigwig. Obviously, the person who has been leaving the chair empty is the one on the dark list.

But he never understood. Why did you name this gang "One Knife Guest"? Atmosphere of the rivers and lakes and chivalrous spirit? No matter what happened today, the young man made up his mind to leave this gang. Maybe it's time to go to the rivers and lakes to feel the real chivalry.

Thinking of this, this man, who had only been in the "One Knife Guest" for three or five years, smiled self-deprecatingly. With a sigh, he turned back to the hall. When the old man saw him, his eyes were a little fluttering.

"Cough~~cough" The old man finally cleared his throat, and the hall suddenly fell silent.

"Do you still remember why you joined the Knife Guest? The Knife Knife seems to have not been established for a long time, just a few years, you all have various identities, and the outside world's impression of us is just that some idle people in the north of the city gather together, but everyone knows what the truth is. The old man continued slowly.

"In the past few years, we have unified the gangs in the northern part of the city, merged and destroyed. Finally, we became the largest gang in the north of the city. So much so that the big and small gangs in Suzhou are now in danger, and the ridiculous thing is that the group of little dolls on Yushui Street in the south of the city are actually trying to trouble us. It is impossible to say that it is a grasshopper shaking a tree, and these are not the issues we are discussing today. Today I want to say ........"

The old man paused, then continued.

"We're not a gang, we've never been. ”

"Then what are we? What did we say at the beginning that we wanted to unify Suzhou?" gradually came out of the crowd.

"A knife is an organization. That is, an organization that takes money to do things for people. Well... In terms of style, you can understand that it is similar to the person on the dark list. With a faint smile, the old man continued.

"Next, who wants to leave, who wants to stay?"

The crowd in the hall was clearly shocked by such a sudden news. Except for the person sitting on the five chairs, whose face was normal, the rest of the people were at a loss for a moment. Among them were Taoist priests, monks, merchants, and porters of goods. They have all kinds of identities, and each of them had a different reason for entering Yidaoke at the beginning.

However, it is definitely not a reason to take money to do things for others.

Everyone froze there and didn't say a word. They don't know how to be good, stay or go?

If you stay, with what kind of pursuit.

If you go, where do you go?

Just as everyone was thinking, a man walked out and stood in the center. The voice was not loud or small, but it was like thunder: "I joined a knife for a year and killed twenty-seven people. "All of them died in the Graceful River, and all of them were killed by me with a knife and thrown into the Graceful River." ”

"Twenty-seven people, not a single good person. ”

"Either murderers and arsonists, or corrupt people. ”

"People, they were all killed by a knifeman. ”

As he spoke, the man walked to the exit of the hall and said lightly: "I'll stay, as for you, whatever, but... I don't want your corpses in the future graceful river. ”

It wasn't until the man left that people saw a knife pinned to his waist.

It's not big, it's just a short knife. But it revealed an inexplicable aura.

Who was that man? When did a knife man have such a figure?

Kill twenty-seven?

Everyone had such an idea, and they didn't even verify the authenticity of this matter to the old man for the first time.

Just as everyone was talking, the young man got up from his chair and said unhurriedly: "The man with a knife on his waist is called Fang Zhichun, and we only joined at this time last year. It's really not that old, but the ability is not small, and after joining us that day, he asked us what a knife was. I thought this guy was funny, so I casually said, "Murderous."

I thought that this young man would turn around and leave, but I didn't expect him to say coldly: "What people to kill, how many people to kill, and in what way?"

I was slightly stunned, seeing that he didn't look like a nonsenseman, so I recruited him into the team of "errands". ”

The young man suddenly remembered something, and then added: "But he doesn't have a good memory, and he killed twenty-seven people." ”

"It's thirty. He also got rid of three traitors from our organization, and he forgot about it. ”

The crowd waited until they heard the "third-in-command" say such a thing, and they were convinced. However, the people who wanted to step out of the compound just now did not continue.

It's no wonder that the swordsman has been added for so long, and it seems that he hasn't been allowed to do anything. Even the number of such meetings is very few, but it is often heard which gang has been swallowed up by a knifeman, and where and where a group of people have been recruited.

But what does it matter? Anyway, the knife man treats the people in the gang, oh no, the people in the organization are still very good.

Those new members or long-time members are basically thinking to themselves.

As for what they use money to do things for others, it has little to do with them anyway. Didn't you say it, a knifeman, there is a team dedicated to doing things.

"I don't have a problem with whether the swordsman is a gang or an organization. To be honest, I don't have any idea, I just think that the gang might have to smell a little bit and the organization structure might be a little stricter, but it doesn't matter, I'll stay, and I can mention any orders in the future!" a voice came from the crowd.

"I also agree, I don't care about the form and concept of the dark list, didn't the swordsman brother just say that he killed so many people, it seems that they are all bad people, then our current organization at least has a conscience. I, Zhang Shunsan, served in the army when I was young, and I have some strength, if I need anything, I will directly order that if I kill bad guys or something, I will not hesitate. ”

"Amitabha, since he has joined the Swordman, then what kind of form, the poor monk can't control, and it doesn't matter whether he stays or goes. ”

"Stay! At least the knife is not like other gangs that bully the weak, bullying and bullying the small. ”

.............

The young man looked at them with a smile on his face. Hearing so many voices to stay, he suddenly remembered what he said before that he would leave the knife man today no matter what, and smiled awkwardly.

He didn't look at the second master, and he didn't need to look to know.

The old man's face was as calm as water, and he must have calculated today's result.

The man named Fang Jianchun was arranged by him. I guess even I guessed what I thought.

Why did you suddenly have a showdown today to tell these people that these people have never been the core of the knife, and even if they did, it would be meaningless.

Maybe there's only one reason.

The Swordsman is going to face a big fight.

There is a small study in the capital.

Inside, a middle-aged man was practicing calligraphy, and there was a man next to him who was sharpening his ink.

"Did Chengde go to Gusuzhou?" the man asked suddenly.

"Back to the emperor, the second prince only arrived a few days ago, and I thought I would tell you in a few days... But Niangniang's side..."The eldest eunuch did not reveal a trace of panic in his words.

"Let's go, it's time for him to go out and practice a few times. The man in the dragon robe didn't mean to blame.

seemed to think of something again, and added: "By the way, choose a few masters from the eagle to go to Gusuzhou, these two brothers, none of them are worry-free." ”

"Yes. ”

In this way, are you going to fight that teenager in advance?

The boy was disappointed in his father, who had been exiled for five years, and had never written a letter to him.

The man in the dragon robe had a lot of thoughts this night, and he remembered a lot.
