Chapter 923: Why Did They Do It (Three Watches!) )
After Zhou Yufa met his immediate superiors, he told all the things he had encountered and the intelligence information he had obtained, which made his superiors suddenly nervous.
Because behind the news brought by Zhou Yufa, it is likely that there is a lot of trouble hidden.
In this way, his superior leader led Zhou Yufa to Zhang Tie.
After all, it is impossible for Zhou Yufa's superiors to deal with such an important matter.
Once what Zhou Yufa said can be determined, then it is necessary to use the garrison in Manhattan and the strength of the military and police to solve it.
And the only person who has the military power and police power here in Manhattan is Zhang Tie.
It is impossible for him to bypass Zhang Tie and call the shots on his own.
In this way, Zhou Yufa was brought to Zhang Tie.
At this time, Zhang Tie was still dealing with the daily documents of Manhattan.
Every day, there are a lot of documents here in Manhattan that he needs to work on.
So, he would work late every day.
As the city of Manhattan expanded, so did the amount of government he had to deal with every day.
Although he has a secretariat and many secretaries to assist him in his work, this is far from making Zhang Tie easy.
Therefore, Zhang Tie basically works until midnight every day, and then leaves home to rest after work. And when Zhou Yu sent it, Zhang Tie happened to be still in the office.
"What's wrong with you?"
Zhang Tie, who was working on documents behind the desk, looked up at Zhou Yufa, who was wrapped in bandages, and asked with concern.
Immediately, Zhou Yufa told about his injury and the process of his injury.
"These damn guys, it looks like they're going to need some punishment before they're going to be honest for a while." , when Zhang Tie learned that the intelligence department was dispatched. The young man who formed the Manhattan gang and became a gang leader was outraged when he was assassinated by European gangsters in the labor community.
"Your Excellency the Governor, your subordinates' injuries are not serious. However, this time, the subordinates came to report something more important. ”
Zhou Yufa was still very moved by Zhang Tie's care.
However, he still remembered what he came to see Zhang Tiewei for, and he didn't dare to forget such an important thing.
"Oh, you have something important, tell me."
Zhang Tie didn't think much about it.
Zhou Yufa straightened his body. With a very serious expression, he told Zhang Tie the information he had gotten.
Moreover, he also told Zhang Tie about his and Barrian's worries and analysis.
Zhang Tie's expression slowly became solemn.
He didn't expect that this Manhattan gang leader had brought news about the hidden church members in the labor community, and at the same time, he also knew that behind the small groups in the labor community that were now developing, there was also a shadow of the church's power.
What is the power of the church to do?
What is the purpose of these gangs and gangs?
It is impossible to say that they have no purpose, Zhang Tie is very sure of this.
Yet, these people in the church. After hiding, he actually changed his old style of acting and actually started a gangster, which has to make people think deeply.
And Zhang Tie believes that these churches must have their ulterior motives in doing this.
And now Zhou Yufa has been assassinated. It is also clear that it is definitely not as simple as fighting for the so-called dock.
It's just that in a short period of time, Zhang Tie couldn't figure out what the other party's purpose was.
"Is this information accurate and reliable?"
Zhang Tie asked.
Zhou Yufa shook his head: "There is no evidence." So the subordinates didn't dare to pack tickets. The source of this information and information was revealed after the assassins were caught. ”
Zhou Yufa couldn't guarantee that all that he said was true.
After all, he also has no direct evidence on his hands. It all came out of the mouth of an assassin.
Zhang Tie thought for a moment: "If it were those assassins, this matter should not be fake. I can't imagine that these hidden churches have actually changed their way of doing things, and now they are playing the underworld with us. The expression on his face was a little puzzled. I just don't understand, what's the benefit of them doing that? ”
Don't say that Zhang Tie doesn't understand, in fact, even Zhou Yufa is very puzzled by this.
On the way back from the warehouse, I couldn't figure out what the church was trying to do with the gangs.
At the same time, if you make a gangster, you can make a gangster, but you still have to make so many little gangsters.
It's hard to figure it out.
In fact, where did Zhang Tie and Zhou Yufa know that the reason why the church's power is doing this is just to hide itself well.
After all, it's always better to have a gangster identity as a cover than to expose the identity of the church and get killed.
On the side of the Song Empire, the attitude towards the European Church was zero-tolerance.
Basically, after you find out, you will die if you catch it.
This kind of fate is not as good as the underworld.
At the very least, if the underworld elements are caught, they will go to build the railroad for a few years at most. If you're lucky, you don't have to die, but the people of the church won't survive if they are discovered.
At the same time, they created so many small groups of underworld organizations in order to disperse everyone, and at the same time, even if one person is discovered, the rest can continue to survive.
There's nothing wrong with thinking like this, it's just troublesome.
Moreover, they engage in the underworld, and these underworld members are not very easy to manage.
According to the thinking of those who are powerful in the church, they should mingle in the working community, and should not actively provoke those external forces, because this will cause great trouble and increase their chances of exposure.
Such an idea is very good.
And, during their quiet days, they did hide themselves well.
It's a pity that these churches have forgotten that people have great ambitions.
At a certain point, this ambition will swell and become uncontrollable.
And these gangsters, one by one, are not so easy to manage. On the surface, they are obedient to their words, but in retrospect, they have to act in their own style.
Isn't it, butcher Bill because of the expansion of ambition. Privately, he united with other gang leaders in the labor community to prepare for a battle with the Manhattan gangs.
For all this, the church is powering these people, and they are still in the dark.
They don't know anything about it.
Actually, this can't be blamed on Butcher Bill, in fact, he also has his own difficulties.
The mixed labor community doesn't get into much trouble, but it doesn't make a lot of money.
After all, when it comes to his status, there must always be something to pursue.
He also hopes that he can sing songs every night and enjoy the beautiful and graceful sister paper. And those good wines, and a lot of gold and silver coins in their pockets to squander.
However, on the side of the labor community, it is difficult to meet all this.
As a result, he set his sights beyond the working community.
The interests of the Manhattan port terminal made him very jealous.
Just the income from pumping water from those laborers every day can make him earn a weak hand.
Moreover, there is the inflated cost of loading and unloading the merchant ships entering the port, and the additional benefits they give in order to secure their goods. These are all real.
Even the coolies who work on the other side of the docks earn more than they do in a month.
This makes him feel comfortable as a gang boss.
At the same time, the Manhattan gangsters also controlled a large number of rogue warblers. The amount of protection money they pay is no longer small.
And the quality of these warblers is much higher than that of the secret prostitutes in the labor community.
You must know that here in Manhattan, there are men and women who have the ability. It's all about making money outside the labor community. Only those who have little ability will earn their own money in the working community.
In the case of women, they are very beautiful. Either I found a Chinese citizen to marry a little wife, or I entered a high-end club to be a lady.
The middle and high-level ones are also in the commercial street.
The intermediate ones will pick up customers in relatively cheap places, but they can also make a lot of money.
Those who are not good-looking can only stay in the working community to earn a living.
Of course, he also wanted to use violent means to reap the benefits of the laborers who worked on the docks and the women who stood on the streets.
Unfortunately, these coolies were all members of a large organization like the Manhattan gang.
Even the women who stood on the street were protected by the Manhattan gangsters.
Therefore, this makes Butcher Bill have no idea what to say at all.
I can only watch these moving wealth go in and out every day, walking around in front of my eyes. This is a very painful thing for him.
Therefore, he hated the Manhattan gangsters, which was called an envy and jealousy. Whenever the Manhattan gangs were mentioned, Bill the Butcher gritted his teeth with hatred.
At the same time, if you make a gang boss like Butcher Bill face the fat women in the labor community every day, how painful he must be, every time he looks at the women who smile at him but have big yellow teeth, he will be even more resentful of the Manhattan gang.
He wanted and longed for power and money, as well as beautiful women.
If the Manhattan gang can do it, why can't he do it?
Everyone has a head and two arms, and they are not bad.
In the world of the underworld, what you fight is ruthless, dare to fight and kill.
If that's the case, then you should take a gamble.
Even if you lose the gamble and hide in the labor community, you should have no way to come to the Manhattan gang.
After all, there are more than 800,000 people in this community, and trying to find yourself is like looking for a needle in a haystack.
I have to say that Butcher Bill thinks everything is too simple.
If it was really that easy, the bosses who fought against the Manhattan gangsters in the first place wouldn't have ended up so miserably, wouldn't they?
Unfortunately, Bill the Butcher is very confident in himself, and he believes that he is definitely better than those people.
Well, this is a confident person.
At this point, he began to slowly contact the bosses of other organizations and negotiate with them secretly.
At the same time, he will also reveal his dissatisfaction to these people.
Unexpectedly, those bosses who felt the same way as Bill the butcher simply hit it off with Bill.
At that time, it only took a short period of time for these underworld organizations in the labor community to form an alliance.
The people behind the scenes of forming and supporting these organizations are not at all aware of all this.
Because it doesn't fit in with their development plan at all.
For those who are powerful in the church, what they need is to keep a low profile, a low profile, a low profile.
If you can avoid leaving the labor community as much as possible, then you must avoid it as much as possible.
Contact with the outside world is very dangerous because it exposes them.
The two Great Purges really scared the church.
Besides, by staying in the labor community, they can also reach out to the inhabitants as the underworld, and at the same time very vaguely want them to spread the glory of the Lord.
Compared to the previous two times, these underworld priests or pastors will constantly observe the people they come into contact with and assess whether they are still devout to the Lord.
Only those who are still devout will reveal their identity and put them back under the glory of the Lord.
Of course, the believers they received were very religious than before, which prevented those who were already dissident from mixing around them.
According to their plan, as long as they use such means, they will slowly develop a large number of believers. As long as they don't confront the Song Empire in a tough way, then the Song Empire should not do anything to them for the sake of stability.
When the time comes, the attitude of the Song Empire will not be slowly changed by peaceful means, and won't they still be able to achieve their goals in the end.
The first two times they used those very tough methods, but in the end, everyone saw what happened to them.
It's impossible for them to do something like this, which they have already suffered twice.
Only an idiot would continue like this.
And now using the identity of a gangster to hide himself, there is no way to do it.
After all, their own identities cannot be revealed, but they need money.
Therefore, when they cannot use the status of priests and pastors to get believers to donate, they need another way to get money.
At the same time, it's also an effective way to hide their identity, so why not.
It's just that these people who are powerful in the church don't know what they know is that the underworld organization they have supported now has their own ideas.
That is, some ambitions were born.
For these people who are powerful in the church, they are no longer so obedient.
Zhang Tie here no longer thinks about the problems he can't figure out. Since you can't figure out what these church personnel want to do with this gangster, then you don't have to think about it.
When these people are caught, then everything will fall into place.
Why bother yourself so much now?
"It looks like we need to clean up the labor community again, but I'm worried that this will scare the church members who don't quite grasp their identities yet." After Zhang Tie weighed it, he told Zhou Yufa what he was worried about. (To be continued......)
