Chapter 15: Assassination
Relationships among gangsters have always been complicated, and espionage incidents have emerged one after another, and it is not uncommon for you to have you and I have you. As soon as Li Ling came out of the Liaodong Guild Hall, the news reached Tan Xiangrong's ears, and he sneered and said, "Lao Tzu has walked more bridges than he has walked, and he wants to assassinate me?" I don't care about the value. Rao is like this, or a few more bodyguards were transferred from the outside, strictly protected, and even stayed in the mansion without leaving the door, and even dared not enter the casino.
And there has long been a heat wave on the boundary of Qingdao, it is no secret that Li Ling wants to assassinate Tan Xiangrong, the owner of Tan Ji Casino, and it is no longer a secret. Now don't talk about assassination, it's hard to get close.
For two days in a row, Li Ling could only hide in the mountains, and Tan Xiangrong had already issued a black assassination order to encircle and suppress himself. The hunter and the hunted have switched places. Seeing that there was still one last day, I was in a hurry and had to go down the mountain to walk around.
Cautiously approached the Tan Mansion on Rongcheng Road, but saw a crowd of people at the door, and there were even people wearing white hats and sackcloth clothes. ”
Li Ling was stunned for a while, Tan Xiangrong died? Before he had a chance to do it, Tan Xiangrong died, it wouldn't be such a coincidence, right? Died of a violent illness? Immediately I was overjoyed in my heart, it seems that the sky is endless, my luck is so against the sky, when he needs it most, he braided his hair, and died too timely, this time Brother Tang is saved.
There is no need to dodge, the trees are falling and scattered, Tan Xiangrong used to be quite harsh on his subordinates, and it is estimated that no one will be grateful to Dade for making trouble for himself after death! Just swaggered past the casino. Today's casino is closed, and there are casino thugs at the door, and when they see Li Ling walking by, they all have complicated faces.
Li Ling was triumphant, and hummed a little song as he walked: "Clear Ling Ling's water, blue sky." Xiaoqin, I washed my clothes and came to the river, and Erhei Ge County went to open the hero meeting. He said yes, he said he was going home today. I waited for the morning and looked forward to the future, and I couldn't stand still, and I couldn't sit still, and I couldn't sit still....... ”
When I came to the house at the foot of the mountain, I first saw He Jiatang coming out from inside, hugging Li Ling like a sturdy body, and laughing: "Brother has you, I actually assassinated that Tan Xiangrong, this is a post personally placed by Huang Changling and Boss Huang of the Liaodong Hall, inviting us all to go to the banquet together." After speaking, he took out a red invitation.
Scratching his head inexplicably, Li Ling said: "I've been looking for an opportunity to start for the past two days, but Tan Xiangrong's old puppet is cunning and cunning, staying in the mansion and not going out, not to mention that there is no chance, but he was forced by his people to have nowhere to escape, and now I know that he is actually dead." "I looked at He Jiatang's vigorous appearance, and knew that he didn't suffer any big losses in the Northeast Gang.
Several people looked at each other, and Sun Yuzhu said: "The whole Qingdao exploded, saying that you sneaked into the Tan Mansion late at night yesterday, injured Jing Lian, shattered Tan Xiangrong's heart with one punch, and went out of the Tan Mansion unconsciously, now you are a celebrity in Qingdao, and your deeds are so miraculous in the mouth of the white ruffian that even we think that your kung fu has increased greatly." ”
He Jiatang also said: "Your word 'Li Ling' is not going anywhere in Qingdao, your reputation has risen, and even Boss Huang is full of praise for you in front of so many people in the Liaodong Hall, saying that you have superb kung fu, a single person, love and righteousness, and unlimited achievements in the future." ”
Li Ling smiled bitterly and said, "Spread the rumors with falsehood, and it looks like it's true." I know my own family affairs, Tan Xiangrong's sudden death is not true, why are there so many gossips about me, although it is beneficial for us to break into Qingdao, but there are also those patrol police and gendarmes who come to find trouble, let's deal with this matter first. ”
Everyone now understands that Tan Xiangrong was really not assassinated by Li Ling, but why did Tan Xiangrong die at this juncture, and why did the people in the Tan Mansion insist that Li Ling did it. Everyone was puzzled and had to give up. Fortunately, Huang Changling of the Northeast Gang Liaodong Hall did not write a specific time to go to the appointment, Li Ling was too lazy to ask, so he quietly went to the Hongfu Teahouse in the evening to ask about Shentu Kong Xiang.
Shentu Kong Xiang listened to Li Ling's report, and lost his usual light appearance. At this time, he looked serious, thought for a long time, and then said: "You may have carried the black pot for others, two days ago, the market hyped up that you wanted to assassinate Tan Xiangrong, and he was in a different place within two days, someone must have used your previous influence to eradicate Tan Xiangrong." ”
Nodding, Li Ling said: "It's very possible, but Tan Xiangrong is a famous tycoon in Qingdao, even if Huang Changling, the Northeast Gang who is as famous as him, is helpless against him, who can have such great ability to destroy Tan Xiangrong." ”
Shentu Kong Xiang smiled and said: "Tan Xiangrong is a fortress, which can only be broken from the inside, as long as it depends on who is the biggest beneficiary, who is most likely to succeed in Tan Ji Casino, who may be the murderer." In addition, he will also target you in the name of avenging Tan Xiangrong, so don't go anywhere in the teahouse for a few days, so as not to cause trouble. ”
Li Ling nodded gratefully, although he didn't understand what kind of organization Shentu Kong Xiang and them were, but he could guess that the power must be very large, and with him covered, it would be safe to live here. Although the teahouse is crowded outside, the courtyard inside is extremely quiet. During the day, I learned some martial arts with You Fei, and at night I listened to them tell some interesting stories about the rivers and lakes, and I was not lonely.
Sure enough, three days later, Tan Xiangrong's second brother Tan Xiangsen took over the casino business, on the one hand, arranging the funeral of the eldest brother Tan Xiangrong, on the other hand, arranging for people to take over Tan Ji Casino, and opening on a certain day, and on the other hand, increasing the reward and arresting the murderer Li Ling, although it was only thunder and rain.
Li Ling smiled bitterly, he was a wanted criminal in Jinan City, and now he has run to Qingdao, and he is still wanted. When can you walk on the street openly?
The wind went down a little, Li Ling left the teahouse and rushed to the contact point of the brothers at the foot of the mountain, and to his surprise, he actually saw Jing Lian here. At this time, Jing Lian was lying on the ground with a tired face, completely lacking his high-spirited appearance in front of Tan Xiangrong. Seeing Li Ling's return, he said weakly: "Brother, I am also planted now, so I can only take refuge in you." ”
Li Ling was very surprised, it stands to reason that with Jinglian's status and skills in Tan Kee Casino, even if he changes the boss, he will not be down. He Jiatang, who was standing next to him, obviously knew the inside story, and said: "Tan Xiangrong's younger brother Tan Xiangsen killed his eldest brother and blamed you." And the Jinglian brothers, as Tan Xiangrong's personal bodyguards, certainly know the truth of the matter. Tan Xiangsen tried his best to kill him, and he had no choice but to flee to the mountain, where he was found and brought here by our brothers. ”
Li Ling admired Shentu Kong Xiang at this time, and his analysis was actually accurate. Jing Lian didn't look surprised when he saw Li Ling, and said, "Brother Li is not angry at all when he carries the black cauldron for others?" You must know that the announcement of the reward for you is 500 oceans. ”
Smiling slightly, Li Ling said: "It's only five hundred oceans, and the reward for the younger brother in Jinan City some time ago is two thousand oceans, hehe, this money can't help but insult the younger brother's worth." ”
Jing Lian sat up from the ground, and hurriedly asked Li Ling about his deeds in Jinan City, and after listening to the introduction, he gave a thumbs up and said: "Brother Li Ling is really bold and righteous, worthy of the people in the rivers and lakes, I Jing Lian didn't see the wrong person, anyway, I have no way to go now, so I will work hard with my brothers, okay?" ”
Li Ling was overjoyed when he heard this, with Jing Lian's skills and influence here, if the Northeast Gang knew about his situation at this time, they would definitely spare no effort to win him over. Discuss the situation with a few people at the moment.
It turned out that on that day, Jing Lian led the team to ransack the Liaodong Guild Hall, the old nest of the Northeast Gang, and placed all the money and tobacco obtained from the robbery in the safe of the Tan Mansion. Tan Xiangrong's second brother Tan Xiangsen has long been eyeing the power of his eldest brother, and when he saw so much gold and silver jewelry, he coveted it even more, so he sent a few henchmen to ambush him in the secret room to kill Tan Xiangrong, just pushing the matter on Li Ling, and did not hesitate to raise Li Ling's value for this. And Jing Lian knew that there was no hope of saving the boss, so he had to flee for his life. It's just that he didn't know that Li Ling was coaxed by Tan Xiangrong to rob the north pier of the city.
Li Ling asked, "Where is the money that was robbed from the Northeast Gang now?" He Jiatang and the others also looked at Jinglian with a moxibustion on their faces.
Jing Lian sighed and said: "We can't protect ourselves now, and the idea of fighting those jewels and smoke can't be realized." is still in the safe of Tan Xiangrong's secret room, Tan Xiangrong has been out of the funeral in the past few days, forgive him Tan Xiangsen did not dare to act rashly. ”
He Jiatang said: "The most dangerous is also the safest, you might as well steal things out on the day of his funeral." We almost lost our lives on the dock without reaping the benefits, and we must not return empty-handed this time. ”
Li Ling nodded and said, "Ill-gotten gains are available to everyone." We should not have many personnel, and it is best to be agile, even if we can't do it, we can retreat safely. ”
Jing Lian stared at them with a shocked expression, although he was bold, he was slightly inferior to these people.
Only Li Ling and others know that everyone is used to being poor, and they are open to money. It's a desperate river and lake again, where are there so many scruples.
Jing Lian nodded heavily and said: "I have two brothers who can be relied on, both of whom have a good kung fu foundation, one of them is still from the Buddha, and he has a very good set of locks and cabinets, I will call them over at night to sum them up." ”
Li Ling also felt that except for himself and He Jiatang, it was difficult for everyone else to be competent for this kind of extremely dangerous work, although Sun Yuzhu was tall and mighty, but he was not flexible enough, did he coax that kid from You Fei over.
Li Ling went to the teahouse to find You Fei and told him about it, but he didn't expect him to promise happily, which made Li Ling hesitate whether to tell Shentu Kong Xiang. But You Fei said: "Brother Shentu will go to Tianjin tomorrow on business, so he won't bother." ”
