Chapter 43: Conspiracy
Somewhere.
A slightly old temple.
There are no gods and Buddhas in the temple, only a black sculpture with a crow body and a human face.
Some poor people in ragged clothes, looking numb and dejected, are prostrating in front of the sculpture and praying, one after another, in an endless stream, in the incense burner in front of this sculpture, there is also incense.
In the corner, there were some gray-skinned mice, squeaking and scurrying in the shadows.
Behind the temple, in a small courtyard, many people dressed in strange black costumes were hurrying back and forth.
"Vice-Sect Master, something is in trouble."
In a secluded small room at the innermost level, a black-clad Raven cultist was prostrate on the ground, reporting something to a man who was also dressed in black, but with red silk threads embroidered with the texture of the crow's wings.
The deputy sect leader sat there, opened his eyes and looked over, and said flatly, "What's wrong?" ”
"Among this batch of arrestees, there seems to be one who has something to do with a bad guy on the side of the city guard......
The prostrate cultist carefully reported the situation: "It seems that the other side has been alarmed right now, and that person is sending someone to investigate this matter." ”
The deputy sect leader frowned slightly, and said, "What about people? ”
The congregation whispered, "It's been sent to the main altar." ”
After hearing this, the deputy sect leader showed a deep expression and said, "Then let's assume that you don't know about it." ”
The person has been sent to the main altar, which must not be put back, and the news from the general altar is a big trouble if it leaks a little, as for the involvement of a city guard...... That's fine.
Once that thing can be done, not to mention the difference between a mere nine articles, what about the general division of Nancheng District?
"Okay, don't tell anyone about this, you go down."
The Vice-Sect Leader waved his hand.
The congregation answered in a deep voice and got up to leave.
……
The Crimson Gang station.
Compared to the small, congested alley where the thieves stayed, the Red Gold Gang was much more spacious, occupying a large area, with multiple nearby courtyards connected to each other.
When Chen Mu and his people arrived, they could even hear the shouting of some people in the backyard practicing swords.
When the people outside heard about Chen Mu's intention, they also immediately went in to report, and after a while, someone came out and respectfully led Chen Mu and his party into the courtyard, and all the way to the westernmost side, a small courtyard that was obviously much more exquisitely decorated.
"Master Chen, he is indeed a talent, young and promising."
There was a man in a dark robe standing in the courtyard, hearing the movement behind him, he slowly turned around, he looked about forty years old, and his eyes were very different, but it was Yin Hong, the leader of the Chijin Gang.
As the largest gang leader in Jiujo, he has hundreds of gangs under his command, and his power is comparable to that of the City Guard, and he has a background from the inner city, and his status is equivalent to that of Min Baoyi.
"I've heard the name of the Yin gang leader for a long time."
Chen Mu walked into the courtyard and motioned for Liu Song and the others to wait outside.
The Red Gold Gang was obviously also very concerned about the affairs of the Black Crow Sect, and as soon as they heard about his intentions, Yin Hong, the gang leader, could see him in person, instead of sending a deputy gang leader or something like that.
Chen Mu didn't talk nonsense, and he explained his intention in just a few words.
Yin Hong listened, and after a deep groan, he said: "If it has nothing to do with the bandits, and it is not something made by someone else, then it is probably really related to the Black Crow Sect, and it is not a secret, even my Red Gold Gang has a gang that has disappeared from them, and his whereabouts are still unknown." ”
"Oh?"
A hint of discoloration flashed in Chen Mu's eyes.
After thinking for a while, Yin Hong said: "What kind of black crow god did the Black Crow Sect come up with, deceive the people, and squeeze oil money, which has always been despised by us, and there have been many disappearances in recent days that are faintly related to them, including the disappearance of relatives of the characters in my gang, and then my gang went over there to investigate, and then their whereabouts are unknown." ”
"For this reason, I personally went to negotiate with the Black Crow Sect, but they prevaricated back, for the sake of the stability in the nine articles, it is really inconvenient for me to teach them to fight, after all, I don't have any evidence here."
Yin Hong said with some shame.
Chen Mu naturally only listened to half of Yin Hong's words, what was for the stability of the nine articles, what was not evidence, it was just a fart, it was nothing more than he didn't want to have a lose-lose relationship with the Black Crow Sect, and was picked up by others.
When Yin Hong said this, he looked at Chen Mu with burning eyes, and said: "This Black Crow Sect is so bold that even the people of the City Guard Division dare to move, I suspect that there is a bigger conspiracy behind them, Lord Chen can go and report this matter to the Min Chasi, if the City Guard Division comes forward, then my Chijin Gang will definitely be willing to cooperate in the investigation." ”
The intent of this statement is obvious.
What is missing, what conspiracy, there is a high probability that it is nonsense, Yin Hong wants to take the opportunity to join forces with the City Guard Division to sweep away all the part of the territory occupied by the Black Crow Sect in Jiujo.
After all, the power of the Black Crow Sect is spread across many 'li', and the power on the surface is greater than that of the Chijin Gang, although the Chijin Gang has the so-called inner city backstage, but to put it bluntly, it is just some domestic dogs cultivated by the big men in the inner city, and they are driven to use it when they are needed, and they are too lazy to look at it when they are not needed, and the Chijin Gang wants to seek development, Yin Hong can only rely on himself.
If they can take advantage of this opportunity to provoke the City Guards to take the lead, then their Red Gold Gang will naturally follow calmly, repair the Black Crow Sect ruthlessly, and throw it out of the nine.
"Conspiracy is not necessarily."
Chen Mu naturally knew Yin Hong's purpose, and he would not be provoked by Yin Hong to be the gun of the Chijin Gang in two or three sentences, and said in a flat tone: "It's just that some people have been abducted and trafficked, what kind of climate can a small sect become?" ”
After hearing this, Yin Hong sighed and said: "Lord Chen is in the City Guard, and the news may not be as well-informed as ours, Lord Chen may not have noticed that the city has been ...... recently. There are a lot of gray skin rats for no reason? ”
Well?
When Chen Mu heard Yin Hong's words, a hint of strangeness suddenly appeared in his eyes.
As Yin Hong said, the gray-skinned mice he has encountered in the past few days are indeed a bit too much, even not just many, they are also very big, fierce, and dare to attack people, which is very abnormal, but he did not associate this matter with the Crow Sect.
Yin Hong's eyes were deep and said: "Although the people I sent have disappeared for no reason, they still found out a little bit of news in the end, in addition to worshipping the black crow god in this black crow sect, there is also an unknown 'protector god', and this protector god, its image is the body of a gray mouse!" ”
This sentence finally made Chen Mu's eyes flash.
disappearances,
Dharma Protector,
gray-skinned mouse,
……
Most of Yin Hong's information is true, if only one or two things are related to the Black Crow Sect, then it is nothing, but including the disappearance case, the gray mouse haunting everywhere, and the hidden so-called protector god, all kinds of signs and clues come together, which does give people a faint sense of ominousness.
Especially when it comes to gray-skinned mice, Chen Mu has seen it with his own eyes, and he understands the harm of rats better, in his previous life, in that world, he didn't know how many kinds of plague disasters were the source.
If the Crow Cult wanted to do something with this gray-skinned mouse, it would be a very bad incident.
After a short period of contemplation, he immediately threw his hand at Yin Hong and said, "I will report all the situation to the errand and take my leave." ”
Yin Hong also raised his hand and said with a smile: "Then I will listen to the good news in the next place, and I will also inform the Min Chasi that if there is any action on the side of the City Health Division, I must follow it here." ”
