Chapter 140: Leaping into the Abyss
The people do not fight with the officials.
Everyone understands the truth, and Niu Er naturally won't fail to understand. After thinking about it, when the time was approaching, Niu Er finally got up from the bed: "If you tell me to go, I'll go, I'm just a gangster, if I don't want to give face, I'm afraid not only my own life will be difficult to protect, but my brother's mother's life will also be gone." ’
Knowing that Suo Suo was dressed, Niu Er carefully stepped over the body of his brother next to him.
"Brother, where are you going?" Hammer was awakened by the sound of Niu Er getting up, rubbing his eyes and asking in confusion.
"East Factory. Niu Er replied softly.
"What are you doing in the East Factory?" Hammer asked again.
"Leave it alone, go to sleep. Niu Er's voice was a little impatient.
"Oh. The hammer answered, yawned, and then rolled over, and the snoring sounded again.
"Huh. Niu Er shook his head helplessly and smiled: "This rammer." ”
Pushed the door out of the courtyard. By the misty moonlight, he walked towards the outside of Dongzhi Gate.
On the left and right of the gate of the East Factory, two bright red lanterns swayed in the wind, emitting a dim light. Under the lantern, two brown-shirted men stood straight with the hilt of the knife. In the middle of the night, they were actually very tired, but they still tried to look energetic. They don't want to be like their predecessors, who were ordered to feed the dogs because they took a nap.
"Hey, what time is it?" asked a fanzi in a low voice.
Looking up at the moonlight slightly, another fan replied: "It should be time soon, right? ”
"Damn, it's really enough to be guilty of guarding the door at night, go back and talk to the above, it's better to change to daytime. ”
"If you stay up for another two hours, you will be able to change shifts, and then Lao Tzu will have to sleep well. ”
"Bang!boom!"
"It's dry, watch out for the candles!"
The time has come.
"Huh?" The two looked at each other suspiciously, at this time, there were still people on the street? And looking at the direction, it seems that they are still coming to Dongchang?
"Pss
"Who's it!" asked a fanzi.
"The two officials are calm and don't be impatient. Niu Er bowed down and smiled: "The villain Niu Er is a bastard on East Street, something is wrong... ”
"Bastard, what are you doing in my East Factory?"
"Official, official, the official is angry, and the villain is also ordered to come. Niu Er said, rolled up the sleeve of his left hand, and stretched it out.
"Ordered, by whom?" The two fans put their heads together, and then shimmered, only to see that Niu Er's left arm seemed to have a red mark the size of half a palm, boxy, and I don't know who covered it. If you look closely, it is the four red characters "Admiral Dongchang".
"Hiss~" The two fans gasped in unison.
The fan on the left looked up and looked at Niu Eryi carefully: "What's your name?"
"Villain Niu Er. ”
"Wait here, I'll go in and say goodbye. As he spoke, he looked at his companion again: "Watch him, don't let this kid run away." ”
"Rest assured, there are counts. The companion nodded, then widened his eyes and looked at Niu Er in front of him without blinking.
Watching that fan enter the door, Niu Er blinked, and said with a smile: "Poor master, the villain can't run away, you... It doesn't have to be like this. ”
The one left behind really didn't even blink his eyes, looking strange and panicked.
"Less nonsense. Fanzi said: "It's better that the mark on your hand is not engraved and stamped by yourself, otherwise... You'll be able to meet our Black Cat-sama. ”
"The official said that he laughed, where did the villain have the courage to come to Dongchang to joke. Niu Er argued, and sighed secretly in his heart: "The seal is stamped on the body, saying that it is with me whether to come or not, but if you really don't come, it is estimated that tomorrow next year will be my death day." ”
。。。。。。
The doors and windows were closed, and the suffocating darkness spread through the unlit and candleless hut.
Devilish whispers lingered on his lips.
"With Zhu Yunwen, you seem to be much more cheerful. ”
"Who are you?"
"Are you all eunuchs, and are you still in the mood to go around? Do you really want to be a eunuch for the rest of your life?"
"Who the hell are you?"
"Liu Sanwu is not dead, the imperial examination is imminent, and the case of the North and South List is in front of you, which is a good opportunity. Plan well, and 10,000 kills are within reach. ”
"This is a foolish case, why bother to murder?"
"You want to be a eunuch, but I still want to be a man!"
"Zhu Yuanzhang will die next year, and King Yan will enter Nanjing in four years, don't kill more people, and none of us will survive by then!"
"Hey, hey, what's the joy of life, and what's the pain of death?"
"Where the hell did you come from?"
"I... Isn't that you?"
"Hey, didn't you tell him?"
"You've come out, and I can hide it?"
"Ah!!!h A piece of porcelain fell to the ground and shattered into several pieces with a "snap".
"Overseer, Overseer?" suddenly sounded a soft cry outside the door.
"Who?!"
"Subordinate, inspect the thousands of households of gold and jade. ”
"What?"
"The gatekeeper came to report, and there was a gangster named Niu Er outside the door who asked to see the Overseer, and his left arm was stamped with the mark of the Overseer. ”
The bean-like light lit up, reflecting the pale face. Reaching out to wipe away the fine beads of sweat on his face, Xu Ruyi let out a sigh: "Bring him in." ”
"Yes. Huang Jinyu agreed, and was about to turn away, but he still hesitated, and said softly: "Overseer, are you okay?"
"Click!"
The miserable white hand slammed through the door and grabbed Huang Jinyu's neck.
"Governor, Governor. The hand on his neck slowly tightened, and Huang Jinyu only felt that it was becoming more and more difficult to breathe, and the feeling of pain was insignificant compared to the sudden suffocation.
"Bring him in, do you understand?"
"Listen ... Got it... Finish. Huang Jinyu used all his strength to squeeze out these four words from his throat.
"Puff"
The body fell to the ground, and Huang Jinyu clutched his neck and gasped.
"Do you want to go?"
"Yes. He didn't care about wiping the saliva from the corners of his mouth, and ran outside with a rolling belt.
"Waste. ”
。。。。。。
As soon as he entered the room, Niu Er knelt on the ground with a "poof": "Villain Niu Er, please meet the Overseer." ”
"Get up. ”
"Thank you, Lord Governor. Niu Er stood up, bent his waist, and looked respectfully at the Dongchang factory in front of him.
"Niu Er. ”
"The villain is here. ”
"Do you know what our family asked you to do?" Xu Ruyi said with a smile as he sat behind the bookcase.
"This... The villain doesn't know. However, since the overseer called the villain, there must be a place where the villain can be used. "To be honest, Niu Er really didn't know why the eunuch in front of him called himself. In the teahouse before, after the eunuch revealed his identity, he only said that he wanted to give him a future, and then he stamped a seal on his hand and asked him to come to Dongchang tonight.
said that it was a future, but Niu Erke, who had been in the market for a long time, knew that where there was a free meal in the world, and he might not be arranged to do something dangerous.
"That's a good guess, we do have something for you to do. The slender index finger tapped on the desk and made a "dong dong" sound: "Now in this Nanjing city, there are too many gangs, what wild dog gang, flying eagle gang, and what Sanhe gang has recently appeared, it is really chaotic, and our family is not happy to look at it."
Although Dongchang is doing dirty work, it is still an official status. If you force it, it will inevitably cause public anger, although our family of these snakes, insects, rats and ants does not pay attention to it, but we are also afraid of trouble. Before, there were some secret deals with them, but now it is even more inconvenient to make a move. ”
"The Overseer means ... ”
"We want you to unify the gangs in Nanjing City. Gangs are such things, it's enough to keep one. Xu Ruyi said in a deep voice: "It doesn't matter if you are a new gang, or which gang you join and then usurp the throne." Do you think for yourself, within a year, our family hopes that only one gang exists in this Nanjing City, can you understand?"
Niu Er's face was embarrassed: "The words of the overseer, the villain understands, but the villain is just alone, I'm afraid... ”
"If you want money or people, our family will arrange it for you, you don't have to worry about this. All you need to do is tell us if one year is enough. ”
"One year ... Niu Er gritted his teeth and said: "Enough! Please rest assured that the villain will live up to the high expectations of the Overseer." ”
"That's good, that's good. Xu Ruyi nodded with satisfaction, and then said: "The reason why this matter is entrusted to you is because our family thinks that you are a good person and very interesting." Although he is a gangster, he knows how to advance and retreat, and he talks about rules. It's hard to find such a person now. And your kid has a good life, and he has entered the eyes of a nobleman, as long as you do our family's affairs well, you will be prosperous and rich at that time, and you will be able to seal your wife and son. If things go wrong ... ”
"The villain died and apologized. Niu Er fell to his knees.
"Death? Laughter rang out, and Niu Er's heart trembled when he listened.
。。。。。。
At the same time, in a meditation room in Qixia Temple, Qixia Mountain, Jiang Huan, who had long since "died", held an ancient book in his hand and read it quietly under the lamp. He hadn't turned a page for a long time, and it seemed that his mind was not in the book.
"Why haven't you come yet?" Jiang Huan muttered.
"Isn't this coming?" With a chuckle, the door opened, and Tang Sai'er led Ah Da Ah Er and walked in.
"Mother Buddha. Jiang Huan stood up and saluted.
Tang Sai'er nodded, then looked around at the simple meditation room, and said softly, "Venerable has worked hard. ”
"Nothing. Jiang Huan shook his head: "The Buddha's mother is here alone?"
"Hmm. Tang Sai'er said helplessly: "In Nanjing, the three forces of Jinyiwei, Dongchang, and Tianmen are mixed, and there are too many eyeliners, and it is really inconvenient to have too many people. Sitting down on the chair set up by Ah Da, Tang Sai'er motioned for Jiang Huan to sit down: "Xu Ruyi, the Venerable can be regarded as having dealt with him, what do you think?"
"He's not very easy to say. Jiang Huan groaned: "This person is not very old, and he acts in a very orderly manner. Although he occasionally seems a little immature and ambitious, he has those old immortals of Tianmen behind him, and he has won the trust of Zhu Yunwen, and the future is limitless, and I am afraid that he will be a strong opponent of my sect in the future. ”
"What about martial arts?" Tang Sai'er asked again.
"I don't know. Jiang Huan said solemnly: "At least his subordinates can't see his depth." After thinking about it, Jiang Huan said again: "But the kung fu of Yun Zheng, Black Cat, and Fang Tianyou under him is not weak, and they can be regarded as first-class masters, and I think that Xu Ruyi's kung fu should be above these three people." ”
"That's it... Tang Sai'er secretly wondered in his heart: "What kind of kung fu have the masters of the Heavenly Gate practiced this day, and they entered the realm one by one at a great speed, it is really an evil sect." ”
After a moment of silence, Tang Sai'er spoke: "Venerable, this time I came here to talk to Xu Ruyi about the deal he mentioned to you before, do you think... Is it feasible?"
"What do the others mean?" Jiang Huan asked rhetorically.
"There are endless debates in the church, and this seat is also a little undecided. Tang Sai'er said helplessly: "The failure of the Shudi uprising this time has changed some people's minds. The three Lotus Messengers were conservative, feeling that the foundation of my White Lotus Sect was in the Central Plains, and they should accumulate strength and wait for the opportunity as before. However, Wusheng and Sikong Xuan felt that they should still find another place to develop. This seat feels that the two sides have their own reasons, but what this seat cares about the most is, if he really does what Xu Ruyi said, will he suddenly turn his face afterwards? In the final analysis, Tianmen used to have a grudge against this sect. ”
Jiang Huan thought for a moment and said in a deep voice: "The heart of guarding against people is indispensable, and the Buddha's mother's worries can be understood. To be honest, this is actually a gamble, after all, we don't have it... Jiang Huan said as he spoke, suddenly stunned.
"What's wrong?" Tang Sai'er wondered.
"Mother Buddha, where is the son of Lanyu that we tied up in Beijing before?"
"Lan Yu's son, what do you mean Lan Chun?" Tang Sai'er thought for a moment, turned his head and asked, "Where is that Lan Chun now?"
"Mother Buddha. Ah Da replied: "Elder Centipede is taking that blue spring to the Taishan generation at this moment. ”
"You hear me. Tang Sai'er looked at Jiang Huan.
"That's right. Jiang Huan explained: "When my subordinates were the commanders of the Jinyi Guard, they once received a message. said that on the eve of Lan Yu's rebellion, Xu Ruyi seemed to have secretly been to Lan Yu's mansion. The subordinates thought that the news was wrong, but just now I thought that this Xu Ruyi seemed to have been a subordinate in the Liangguo Mansion earlier, and it is said that the Liangguo Duke was good to him. The two are connected, will it be... ”
"You mean ... Tang Sai'er's eyes lit up: "Did Xu Ruyi go to ventilate and report the news that night?"
"Not bad. Jiang Huan nodded and analyzed: "Lan Yu was about to rebel at that time, and Xu Ruyi, as the duke of Dongchang Factory, just sit back and wait for Lan Yu to rebel, and then set off a big prison with his subordinates, there is no reason to go to Lan Yu's mansion." And if he really goes, then the relationship between the two must not be simple. We might be able to threaten him with this Lan Chun, and if he really cares, then we will have his handle in our hands. ”
"Hmmm... Shallot pointed at his lips: "It's really worth a try." ”
