Chapter Ninety-Five: The Conspirator's Cabin
In a dimly lit hut there was a round table, around which many people were crowded, young or old, kind or hideous, men or ...... Woman, there is a woman in it, her gender seems so out of place with many of the men in this room, but the mysterious and dangerous smell of her body is cleverly integrated into it.
This hut is to be called his conspirator's hut, for all of you are discussing intrigues, dangerous and cruel things.
"News has just come from my men that Corleone has safely walked out of the Count's mansion. A slightly obese middle-aged man said, his brow furrowed, apparently the news did not make him happy.
"Not only that, but Corleone's footsteps were like dancing, and he looked as if he was about to go to the ball, God, that straight-fitting black dress, and neatly groomed short black hair, he should have fallen into the stinking gutter. A thin-faced man said with disgust.
"I warn you, you'd do well to show enough respect to Lord Corleone, who is our leader. A hoarse, deep voice said.
"Don't pretend old fellow, your appearance disgusts me. When Jack attacks Corleone, you don't have the guts to stand up to Jack. ”
"But for now, do you still choose to oppose Lord Corleone, or do you continue to choose to support Jack. ”
Everyone present was silent, obviously judging from the information they had received, Corleone was still favored by Julian, and was still the agent of Julian's rule over them, as long as Corleone was still trusted and favored by Julian, then they had to bow their heads to Corleone.
"Jack, he's finished. Suddenly, the silent woman who had been hiding in the shadows spoke.
Everyone listened to the woman's words, frowned, looked at each other, and the silent killing intent passed between the silence.
"It's time to prove our loyalty to Lord Corleone. The woman continued, "Only Lord Corleone can protect us now, and if we don't, who knows what the Lord who has just returned will do." If that lord insists on pursuing it, everyone present, including me, will have their heads on the ground, but it is better to say that it is the supreme mercy to cut off the head cleanly, you know, that lord is not a merciful person. ”
Fear spreads in the conspirators' huts, some of them trembling and overwhelmed, others with pale faces and dilated pupils, all of which testify to the fear of Julian in their hearts. They are still deeply impressed by the horrific massacre of three years ago, they are the survivors of the massacre, and some of the most prestigious and powerful organizations in their memory have been annihilated in the massacre, and since then they, the unrestrained and free debauchery of the underworld leaders, have become Julian's lackeys.
A man trembled and raised his hand, "Jack must die, I agree with Jeanne's words." ”
Everyone looked at the person who raised his hand in amazement, in their impression this guy was a somewhat cowardly guy, and he actually offered to kill Scarface Jack, who was second only to Corleone in the underground world of Azuchi City, but they soon understood that because they were greedy for life and afraid of death, they could make shocking and crazy actions in order to survive.
"Seconded. ”
"Seconded. ”
"Seconded. ”
"Seconded. ”
"Seconded. ”
.......
It was unanimously adopted and there was no opposition.
"The meeting was adjourned. Everyone went back to prepare their men and gathered at North Point at 3 a.m. "A bloody storm is about to blow.
At this time, Jack also received the news of Corleone's safe return, his face was as pale as a dead man, his body was motionless, and he was stiffer than ice.
"Am I going to die?" muttered Jack, "why, why is this happening, why is Corleone's luck always so good." If the Lord had given me half of the mercy he had given to Corleone, how could I have bowed to him. Jack collapsed to the ground and muttered in despair, "Why? Why?
At this time, one of Jack's cronies ran to Jack in a panic and said, "The leader is not good, just now Harry and several of his subordinates attacked the group's vault, robbed a lot of things, and wounded several brothers and fled. ”
"That's right. Jack said flatly.
"Don't you chase it?" asked Jack's cronies, confused.
"No need. Jack shook his head, Harry must have heard something and ran away.
As the saying goes, "Husband and wife are birds of the same forest, and they fly separately when disaster comes", and he is even more reluctant to let go of these rogue ruffians under his command, so Jack readily accepted Harry's defection. In the world of the underworld, the so-called friendship, friendship, and righteousness are all deceitful nonsense, and real interests are real.
"That idiot. Jack scoffed, what's the use of running away now, even if you betray me now, you're still my man in Corleone's eyes, and unless you escape the South, there's no place for you here.
But now Jack must hide this news, although it is a matter of time before it is leaked, but it is a while to be able to hide it, Jack now has a deep distrust and suspicion of the people under him, the building is about to collapse, the storm is coming, the ship is crumbling and about to capsize, if Jack can't control the situation for the time being, then it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no outlaws who will take the risk to betray him, cut off his head and run to Corleone to ask for credit.
Jack thought about it for a while, he robbed a lot of money during this time, including Corleone's vault, which can be described as a lot of money, plus Jack's own savings, it can be described as a wealth that can not be spent for ten lifetimes.
"Tell someone you trust to pack up your things and set off by the moonlight at night. ”
"Where are we going?"
“....... Imperial capital, we are going to imperial capital. "It's out of the reach of Corleone's power, because there's an emperor in the world.
The night crept in, and the pitch-black canopy obscured the entire dome of the firmament, and tonight there were no stars, only a faint, dim moonlight.
In North Point, the participants in the conspirator's hut arrived, leading their men together in a mighty manner.
Everyone looked at each other and bowed slightly, and then the fat man said, "What about the black widow?" The fat man was referring to Jeanne, the only female leader.
"Who knows? a woman, the courageous one at the meeting, is now in a fright. ”
"It doesn't matter if he's it, whether she's remembering the wrong time, whether she's scared. But the matters decided at the meeting cannot be changed, and tonight Jack's head will fall to the ground, and he will be honest when he says it, and if he says that the whole family will die, the whole family will die. ”
