(Sorry for being late, there are too many things today, ask for tickets!) Ask for a ticket! ）

"Damn, you're a murderer!" Ricardo started again.

But that sounds ridiculous, I'm a murderer? What about you? A perverted murderer?

A hey hand party boss scolds others for killing maniacs, which is simply ridiculous in the world.

Li Yaoyang wanted to laugh very much, but he was embarrassed to laugh out loud, so he could give people some face.

"Alright, man, don't be so angry, it's just a little gangster, and if you die, you'll die."

Listening to this light and breezy tone, it is estimated that killing a dog is more sad than now.

"Bastard, I shouldn't have helped you."

"For Dao Le's sake, you will help me."

Ricardo waved his hand weakly:

"Please, let's go, don't appear in front of me for a short time, or I won't be able to resist kissing your face with my fist!"

"Okay, then I'll go first, and I'll give you a bottle of wild boar as a thank you gift."

After Li Yaoyang walked away for a long time, Ricardo suddenly reacted:

"A bottle? Are you too embarrassed to open your mouth with a bottle? ”

It's a pity that Li Yaoyang couldn't hear it anymore, and when he went back that night, he arranged for the mules to take the goods.

It's much safer to deliver goods within New York City than to Atlantic City.

What kind of car and who to pass on which road, everyone is clear, and there will be basically no problems.

The only thing to worry about is black eating black, don't expect any morality from these garbage mixed at the bottom.

The Chinese are called rivers and lakes, and they pay attention to people's reputation, but these gangs of ghosts are on the streets, listen to these two words, and you will know how big the difference is.

Mixing on the streets and mixing with the rivers and lakes are completely two different concepts.

Taking advantage of the popularity of 'Wild Boar', Li Yaoyang's wine business has reached a higher level, making more money and making more and more people notice him.

How do you say that?

The husband is not guilty of his crimes, and Li Yaoyang and his gang are now in such a situation.

He is a poor boy with no name, and he has such a large fortune in a short period of time, and there are not a few people who are red-eyed.

Of course, most people only dare to talk behind their backs, and if they really let him do something, they don't dare to borrow a few leopard dares.

Those who have the courage to look forward are all big people who can make the city tremble by stomping their feet.

Among them is a character that Li Yaoyang never expected - Taylor Thomas.

————————————

City Hall Park, the cold wind is bleak, and the snowflakes press on the branches, adding to the loneliness.

In this kind of weather, no one wants to spend much time outside, and the sea breeze is like a knife, repeatedly cutting the skin, which is very uncomfortable.

But there were two people in the park, dressed in the same way, with a suit and a long black trench coat, and top hats, and they had to press their hands from time to time to avoid being blown away by the wind.

They seemed to be talking about something very important, and their expressions were very serious.

"Dear Mr. Senator, what do you think about the issue I mentioned earlier?"

One of them turned his back on the limelight, lit a cigarette, and asked vaguely.

"Frank, there are many ways to make money, there's no need to rob other people." The elderly man is holding a civilized cane in his hand, and his face is solemn.

"Damn it, Thales, it's not like you!" Frank bit his cigarette holder and spoke impatiently.

"I'm old, and I have enough position not to help you in this matter."

"What position? Is there anyone who is more generous to you than I am? ”

The elder is none other than Taylor Thomas, a senator from New York and one of the driving forces behind Prohibition.

Ridiculous, right? The person who single-handedly led the implementation of Prohibition actually got together with the biggest leader of the Irish gang in New York, so it is no wonder that the people at the bottom are having a hard time.

"Are you generous? I still haven't believed the money I was supposed to give me last month! ”

Thales bluntly said that in this era when professional eavesdropping equipment has not yet been popularized, as long as you carry someone behind your back, you don't have to worry about your words being tapped, let alone being left with evidence.

That's why we come to the park on a cold day to meet.

"You know where the root is, it's that Chinese boy, he not only cut off our financial route, but also your financial route, shouldn't he be taught a lesson?"

Frank didn't beat around the bush and directly put Li Yaoyang on the 'dining table'.

"Even if you want to teach a lesson, it's your Irish business, and it has nothing to do with me."

The parliamentarians are all from a rhetorical background, and ordinary people can't talk about them, not to mention that Thales is the best among them.

The oil can't be splashed, the water drips are endless, this old guy belongs to the iron bull?

Frank threw the cigarette butt on the ground and stomped on it and crushed it, as if it was not the cigarette butt under his feet, but Li Yaoyang's head.

"Thales, listen, we're people in the same boat, don't think about going down since we're on the boat, otherwise..."

Mr. Senator narrowed his eyes:

"You threaten me?"

"No, how can this be a threat? Remind! Kind reminder! Frank laughed strangely, the sound of metal rubbing, and the listener scratched their hearts.

"Say whatever you want, but Frank, don't forget who I am, and who gave you Irishmen a foothold in New York."

Frank was still laughing, as if he had been laughed, and he couldn't stop it.

"Hehehe~ I can't forget, how can I forget, it's you, Taylor Thomas!

But I would also like to remind you that if it were not for the money provided by the Irish to sell wine, would you still be able to sit firmly in this position?

Not to mention that you want to go to a higher position to see the scenery, it is impossible without money! ”

The two have their own handles in each other's hands, holding each other back, and it seems that neither of them is left behind.

In the end, Frank took a step back:

"Okay, I'll let the kid talk first, maybe we can cooperate?"

"Cooperation? You're naïve, but well, who made you a councilor, I'm willing to cooperate. ”

Without waiting for Thales to speak, his voice changed suddenly:

"Fifty percent! I want 50% of all profits, and I'll ship the goods from now on! ”

Thales looked at the greedy fellow deeply and didn't say a word.

——————————

"What? That Mr. Senator wants to see me? Li Yaoyang heard Ron's words and looked puzzled.

"Don't look at me like that, I'm confused~" Ron didn't ask the other party why, but people didn't say it, so he didn't want to ask more, so he had to be a microphone.

"When? Where is it? ”

"He wanted to visit the winery, but I refused!"

"Hmm~ done right, there must be absolute secrecy there, no one can say it."

"Don't worry, after that he proposed to meet at the Hudson Theatre, and this time I didn't refuse!"

"Theater? Okay, I'll invite him to the play. ”

"He named him to see The Phantom of the Opera"

"Eh~ He hasn't seen it?"

"I've seen it, but I never get tired of watching the classics~"

"Thank you for your evaluation, I'll arrange it!"

…

During the weekend performance, Lai Yiu Yeung opened Box No. 1 for the reception of Mr. Councillor.

There is no imaginary front and back hug, he drives lightly, and looks no different from an ordinary old man walking.

If I have to say, he is an elegant old man with money, power and temperament.

People who play Baidao are good actors, and they have to perform a posture of having fun with the people.

Picked up Thales at the door with Ron, didn't say too much to each other, and went straight to the box to sit down.

Drinks, fruit plates, appetizers, everything is available, and even two beautiful women are arranged to pour wine in public relations, and additional items can be added if necessary.

Li Yaoyang was very well prepared, after all, he didn't know what kind of person Thales was, and besides, today's meeting scene was really hasty, and he didn't know the bottom of his heart.

The stage curtain has not yet opened, and the audience is a little noisy, which just blocks the possibility of others eavesdropping.

"You must be puzzled to learn that I want to see you, right?" Thales shook his glass slightly.

"Yes, totally unexpectedly." Li Yaoyang said truthfully.

"Actually, I've wanted to see you for a long time, Ron is the child I watched grow up, I hugged him when I was a child, and since he is working with you now, I have to do something to understand."

What is understood, it is an investigation, but it is just a euphemism.

Ron touched the back of his head, and was inevitably a little embarrassed when he was mentioned by his elders when he was a child.

"Of course, it's your right, Mr. Councillor~"

"Call me Thales, or, like Ron, uncle?"

Eh~ Can relatives recognize it casually now?

However, the other party took the initiative to show goodwill, and Li Yaoyang was not easy to stand up, so he shouted:

"Uncle Thomas~"

"Eh~ That's right, then lee, since you called me uncle, I have to remind you of some things."

Li Yaoyang's heart tightened, and the highlight came:

"Please say~"

"Selling alcohol is profitable, but it's not a long-term solution, even when I talk to Ron privately, that's what I said."

What do you mean? Let yourself give up selling alcohol and switch to other things?

Li Yaoyang began to think crankily.

"As you know, this prohibition is the decree I strongly enacted, and it makes me very embarrassed that you and Ron are doing this."

Glancing at Ron with his peripheral vision, he found that he was also frowning, and then he calmed down, at least not what Ron meant.

"Why don't you do that, what else do you want to do? Can I help, or do you want to try a different path? I can help you secure the position of deputy sheriff in Chinatown. ”

Li Yaoyang was not only unhappy, but raised his heart to his throat, and suddenly burst out.

Weasels give New Year's greetings to chickens, what kind can they be?

"Uncle Thomas, there are no outsiders here, so we might as well keep it straight." Li Yaoyang didn't want to guess, but if he guessed wrong, there would be a problem.

"Alas... I'm also doing it for your good and Ron's. ”

didn't see it, Li Yaoyang slandered in his heart.

Ron was anxious:

"Uncle Thomas, what the hell do you mean? Or do you want to put it bluntly? ”

"Someone has come to me, I hope you can give up some of your interests, otherwise..."

"How else?" Li Yaoyang's face sank.

Ron stood up suddenly:

"Uncle, who is it?"

Thales furrowed his eyebrows slightly, clearly unhappy that Ron had interrupted his rhythm.

After a long silence, he sighed:

"It's Irish!"

"Irish?" Li Yaoyang and Ron spoke in unison.

"Colin Downer? Still is? ”

"It's Frank Ceylon, listen to my advice, don't fight him." Thales didn't mean it.

Li Yaoyang took a deep breath:

"So, Frank Ceylon is pressuring us through you?"

"Hmm~ quit, I promise to find you a safe and profitable deal, there is no need to mix with a bunch of outlaws."

Listening to this posture, it seems that it is really for the good of Ron and Li Yaoyang?

"Uncle, we have finally developed to this scale, quit? No way! ”

Needless to say, Ron refused first.

Thales' brows were about to twist into a rope, and he suddenly raised his voice:

"Ron, don't be rash, trust me, I won't hurt you."

"Uncle Thomas, I'm sure you won't hurt me, but it's not that simple, why is he pressuring through you? It's because he's feeling the pressure. ”

After a pause, he asked Li Yaoyang with his eyes, and after receiving an affirmative answer, he slowly spoke:

"You know, we had a fight with the Irish in Atlantic City before, and we won, and it was a big win.

After that, the Irish and the Chicagoans fought again, and the two sides fought inextricably, and it was a miracle that Atlantic City did not die a dozen lives every night.

I swear the Irish may not be able to hold out, but if they have the strength to do so, they will not suppress us in this way.

My grandfather taught me since I was a child that when I can solve problems with my fists, don't waste my brain cells. ”

Thales was unmoved, his eyelids lowered, and he didn't know that he thought he was asleep.

Ron continued:

"If the Irish have the confidence to be crushed by force, they will not have to go to great lengths to find your head.

I believe that if it drags on a little longer, without our intervention, the Irish themselves will collapse. ”

Thales let out another long sigh:

"Young, you're too young after all."

Ron stiffened his neck and said:

"Uncle, it is precisely because of youth that you can't lose your courage, if the enemy hits the door and doesn't know how to resist, isn't it a coward?

Anyway, my education since I was a child doesn't allow me to do this! ”

Thales raised his palm:

"Okay, that's the end of today's conversation, let's not talk about this, let's concentrate on watching the show."

That being said, but he sat for less than 10 minutes when he suddenly walked away with his butt up, which was unprepared.

When he followed him to the gate, there were snowflakes outside, and Thales looked up at the sky, and the snowflakes stained the night sky white, and there was not a trace of moonlight in sight.

He raised his hand and pointed:

"You see, the clouds cover the moon, the snowflakes cover the clouds, and the snowflakes fall to the ground and melt in an instant."

Leaving such a sentence behind, he bent down and got into the carriage.

By the time they reacted, the taillights were no longer visible.

The street lamps were yellow, and Ron was puzzled:

"What did you mean by that?"

Li Yaoyang was just about to speak, but Sarah stood behind her at some point and said softly:

"The meaning of that sentence is that everything in the world is interlocked, and nothing is absolute."

Is that what it means? Li Yaoyang drew a question mark in his heart, and asked instead:

"How did you get out? Didn't wear much, isn't it cold? ”

"I was about to get off work, and I saw you at the door, so I eavesdropped for a while, I'm sorry!"

"It's okay, I didn't say anything, get in the car quickly, the road is slippery in snow, let the driver drive slowly."

"Good~"

Looking in the direction away from the car, Ron took out a cigarette and lit it, muttering:

"Frank Ceylon, we didn't bother him, but he came first."

"Little Five has gone to Atlantic City, I hope he can bring back useful news, something must have happened over there, otherwise Frank wouldn't be in such a hurry."

"yes, but what can happen? Could it be that Colin Donner is dead? ”

Li Yaoyang sneered:

"He's dead? No way, that guy is a thief, but it has absolutely nothing to do with him! ”
