Chapter 223: An Unquiet Night (I)
The eighth day of the eighth month of the lunar calendar is destined to be an unquiet day, the sky above Guangzhou Mansion is hovering with the signs of a surging dark tide, this night is also destined to be a sleepless night, there are too many people taking advantage of the twilight to act, there are too many forces to discuss things, and the source of everything, the initiator, is the second-rate forces of the lower middle and lower strength of the deaf and dumb.

At the same time, there are those who will stay up all night, worrying and tossing and turning.
Unintentionally inserted into the willows and willows, the various forces competed with each other, waited eagerly, or watched from the wall, or secretly participated, the pool of water of the underground forces of Guangzhou Prefecture began to become no longer calm, this is really not the wish of the deaf and dumb church, and he is also the biggest victim.
Whether it is the current Zhai Dakun or the new hall master Yang Lin who is about to take over, I believe they don't want to see this kind of scene.
The night has just fallen, the bright moon has just emerged, and the stars have not yet twinkled around the moon, and some unfamiliar faces and unfamiliar figures began to appear around the old hall entrance of the deaf-mute hall, or wandering around, or wandering in the streets and alleys, and there are also those who have no intention of sitting in the small stalls and small sheds in the alleys at the entrance of the deaf-mute hall.
While these people were secretly wary of each other, their eyes were not idle, and they never left the narrow door at the entrance of the old hall for a moment, focusing on the people who came in and out in the past.
Whether it's a vulgar person who collects rags or a mere old knick-knack, they will send someone to follow them for a while, make sure that they are not related to them, and only after passing by will they stop and return again.
The small alley at this time can be said to be completely different from the situation that Yang Lin came to that day, and it has changed a lot.
Some of the shops had raw faces, new owners, and even the guys were replaced, and from time to time they wandered in front of the door, glancing at the door of the old hall out of the corner of their eyes.
The only things that have not changed, or have changed slightly, are the shops or residents within 50 meters of the old hall. But there are still a few changes, a small number of personnel have been added, but all of them are ordinary, and at a glance, there is nothing special.
The closing hours of the shops on both sides of the alley have also been extended, and until late at night, the two lanterns above the gate are still lit, and the illuminated alley is brighter than usual.
It seems to feel the changes in the alley, which is abnormal, and when it is close to evening, the real residents of the neighborhood rarely walk through it. Only their ignorant children, or passers-by, would walk along the road or play, and they didn't feel anything unusual about the alley.
The bright moon rose slowly, and the moonlight sprinkled all over the ground, making the night not so dark, as if it were day.
At this moment, if you stand on the highest place during the daytime, you will find that around the entrance of the old hall, there are people lying on top of some houses, or in groups of two, or in teams of three, alternately using the binoculars in their hands to observe the situation in the small alleys, and from time to time there will be soft whispers.
"The young master is really wise, as long as we lie on the roof of the house, cover it by the moonlight, and be on the commanding heights, we don't need to walk in the alley, we can have insight into everything there."
"However, there is also a drawback, that is, I don't know what those people are talking about?"
"Okay, since the young master arranged it like this, he must also know the disadvantages of doing so, and there must be other ways to make up for it."
On the roof of another house, you can see a small shop in the alley, and you can see it very clearly when you observe the people entering and exiting.
"Hey, I said brother, why do you call the new hall master a young master? Why don't you call the hall master? You people are really weird, strange, after a busy day, you are not tired, you are all at this point, and you are still so energetic! ”
"Look at it, scumbag, someone has gone in again, can you see which force and which gang it belongs to?"
A dark figure quickly took the glasses and immediately looked inside the shop. After a while, with a familiar look on his face, he said with certainty: "The person on the left side is Elder Xu's person, although he has done a little disguise, but even if he turns to ashes, I know him!" ”
"Well... One on the right is the members of the Green Gang, what the hell are the two parties doing, the distance is so far, it's not like discussing things, it's like a stranger. ”
At the same time, in the small courtyard of Zhai Mansion not far from the same city, the maid had already fallen asleep, in the study, Zhai Dakun and Ah Sheng sat and sit, staying there, due to Zhai Dakun's special situation, he has been a deaf and mute person since he was a child, and the house is very quiet at the moment, only his hands are dancing, and he communicates in sign language.
"Hall Master, as soon as Elder Xu entered the Guangzhou Mansion today, the people of various forces began to surge, making frequent moves, wanting to contact Elder Xu."
Elder Xu's attitude was very ambiguous, although he had not had private contact with the representatives of some forces, his confidants had secret meetings with the representatives of those forces and discussed for a long time. Especially the Hongmen of the three major forces, their people are extremely active, whether they have seen Elder Xu or not, what are they secretly discussing, the people we sent to monitor are afraid of exposure, so they dare not get too close, so they can't judge. ”
Zhai Dakun waved his hand to stop Ah Sheng from going to report, although he was very calm, but the worry between his eyebrows could not hide his worries about the current situation of the deaf and dumb hall, and he was worried. Then the withered hands began to gesture to express the meaning in the chest.
"Ah Sheng, since the decision to let Yang Lin take over as the head of the Deaf and Dumb Hall, these things have long been expected. Therefore, the top priority now is to know what small actions Elder Xu and those people have? What external forces are colluding with? ”
"After figuring out all this, we will do our best to clear the spies who have entered the hall, clear the obstacles, and ensure that the ceremony is held as scheduled, and Yang Lin will successfully take over the position of hall master."
At this time, Ah Sheng showed hesitation on his face, hesitated again and again, and confirmed: "Hall Master, those gangs with similar strength to us, it doesn't matter if we clean up the eyeliner they have planted in the hall. However, what about the three major gangs, do they also have to use thunder means to eliminate them? ”
"Especially Hongmen, they have always acted domineeringly, if we really get rid of their people, will it make the situation even more serious, they tear their faces regardless of the situation, and directly do it to our deaf and dumb hall?"
Zhai Dakun was silent, hesitated, and deeply agreed with what Yu Asheng said, yes, once you really do this, it is not a question of whether it will be or not, but it will definitely anger Hongmen, carry out crazy revenge, take advantage of this opportunity, tear off the disguise, and annex the deaf and dumb hall in a grand manner.
This is the rivers and lakes, this is the underground world, there is no Tao and reason, there is no ethics and morality, only about strength, advocating only force, conquering or being conquered.
Seeing that the hall master was silent for a long time, and did not respond to his worries, completely out of loyalty, Ah Sheng once again spoke in sign language, knowing the advantages and disadvantages, knowing the situation, and weighing the pros and cons.
"Hall Master, even if all the personnel of our Deaf and Dumb Hall are combined, just one Hongmen, they are far from being opponents and cannot compete with each other, let alone offend so many forces at one time? Once they reach some kind of compromise and form a certain agreement, then our deaf and dumb church will really never recover, never turn over, and there will be no more deaf and dumb churches. ”
Looking at the conclusive words and reasonable words of his confidant, Zhai Dakun was still thinking, and his heart began to hesitate, unable to choose for a while, and he didn't know how to face it?
Since the appearance of the deaf and dumb church, there has never been such a grim situation, a little careless, will fall into the abyss, from then on completely removed. In this case, he Zhai Dakun had to think about it carefully, and all kinds of possible emergencies had to be considered.
Some people will succumb to great pressure and let fate dictate. But Zhai Dakun is different, he is not such a person. The more pressure there is, the more it stimulates his physical potential and the more it brings out the intelligence in his brain.
At this moment, Zhai Dakun began to calm down, constantly thinking, in the past, similar situations, he could calmly analyze the situation, see through many appearances, reach the essence, grasp the key points, and then calmly turn the danger into a disaster.
However, this crisis was unprecedented, unprecedented, and after an hour, there was still no clue, the already wrinkled forehead was even tighter, and the atmosphere in the study was very heavy, making people feel suffocated.
As time passed, Ah Sheng stood there motionless, following for many years, close to his personal protection, knowing Zhai Dakun's habits and temperament. When Zhai Dakun stared and pondered, and his eyes were dim, Ah Sheng knew that he should shut up and keep quiet, the hall master was thinking about the problem, and he couldn't allow him to be disturbed in the slightest.
