Chapter 112: Winner (23)
Yunzhonglou is located on the shore of the West Lake, although it is known as "in the clouds", but in fact it is only a small teahouse with only two floors, but the small compartment on the second floor of this teahouse is decorated very elegantly, although the wood is no different from the general teahouse, the store is carefully pasted with bamboo as decoration, and this bamboo is fresh and green, and there is no piece of dry yellow, I want to come to the store should be changed from time to time. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
In the bursts of tender bamboo fragrance, Sikong Gu found Yang Shuo.
The news that Yang Shuo is in Hangzhou, but there is no rumor in the rivers and lakes, which is also a bit strange, after all, Yang Shuo has been famous in the rivers and lakes for a long time, and he is one of the "top ten masters" in the Who's Who's List, it is impossible for no one in Hangzhou Wulin to know him. But Sikong Gu also understands that Hangzhou Wulin has not found out that the "Left Hand Sword" Yang Shuo is actually in Hangzhou, after all, if Yang Shuo appears in the rivers and lakes with great fanfare, the news of "Yang Gang Leader Retreat and Cultivation" released by the Cao Gang will be exposed as a "lie" by the Jianghu people, and once it is not handled well, the rumor of "disharmony within the Cao Gang" will spread all over Jiangzuo Wulin in an instant.
Although more than two months have passed since Li Zhou's death, Sikong Gu knows very well that after a gang loses its backbone, the biggest threat is the loss of harmony within the gang, after all, before Li Zhou was killed, no one would have thought that the young gang leader of the Cao Gang who was still in the prime of life would suddenly die tragically on the street.
The reason why Yang Shuo and Nangong Jun were able to successfully stabilize the situation in Yangzhou was only because of the collapse of Yangdaomen, the power vacuum in Yangzhou Wulin, and no matter how sharp the internal contradictions of the Cao Gang were, those old ministers who fought with Li Yan would not play a game of power and profit in the gang at this time.
But as long as the external threat disappears, the interests left by Yangdaomen are almost divided within the Cao Gang, and since Li Zhou's death, the issue of power transfer has become the first problem that everyone in the Cao Gang needs to solve.
Originally, with Yang Shuo's reputation and martial arts, he was appointed as the leader of the Cao Gang, and those old ministers who founded the Cao Gang together with Li Yan were not unacceptable, after all, the "left-handed sword" Yang Shuo was famous, if it were not for the name of Yang Shuo and his master "Jianghuai Renxia" Wu Qingshan over the years, the Cao Gang would never have achieved its current status in the rivers and lakes. Although Yang Shuo didn't care about the power struggle within the gang (at least in the eyes of those old ministers, after all, they wouldn't have thought that Yang Shuo, as the head of Xingtang, would actually know nothing about the power struggle within the gang, and was still dreaming of eliminating evil and promoting good), but Yang Shuo is indeed the most suitable heir in Li Zhou's family, if Yang Shuo sits in the position of gang leader, at least the people below can still obediently obey orders, and the huge foundation of the Cao Gang will not be ruined.
But now that Yang Shuo has left, Nangong Jun has temporarily taken the position of the gang leader as the deputy gang leader, which makes those old ministers dissatisfied.
With Nangong Jun's status in the Cao Gang, although the low-level gangsters have received a lot of favors from him on weekdays, in the eyes of those old ministers, Nangong Jun is just a yellow-mouthed child, although the deliberate beard makes Nangong Jun look more than ten years older, but everyone knows that Nangong Jun is only twenty-nine years old this year. Although he entered the "Who's Who" at the age of twenty-nine, in front of Yang Shuo, who was among the "top ten" at the age of thirty-two, Nangong Jun was still overshadowed.
It is precisely because of this that Nangong Jun only discharged thirty people from the Cao Gang to assist Sikong Gu, the great benefactor of the Cao Gang, to rebuild Sikong's family.
As for the internal information of the Cao Gang, since Sikong Gu left Yangzhou, he has also lost the source, after all, when there are many factions in the gang, the "dark line" planted on Friday cannot be exposed so early. And Friday, who is proficient in the art of disguise, was also brought to Jiangning by Sikong Gu, and the person who sat in Yangzhou in Sikong Gu's hands was only Huang Dong, the shopkeeper of Mingyue Building. But Huang Dong only knew that Sikong Gu wanted to spy on Yangzhou martial arts, but he didn't know anything about Mr. Wu's true identity and the true identity of Jia San and others.
In Huang Dong's view, Sikong Gu is just a young and old-fashioned, resourceful and despicable behind-the-scenes boss. Of course, Sikong Gu divided the thirty percent bonus of Mingyue Building with Huang Dong, coupled with Sikong Gu's unfathomable martial arts, Huang Dong had no reason to refuse any orders from Sikong Gu at all.
After all, before Sikong Gu found him, he was just a shopkeeper in a tea house on the outskirts of Jiangning, although Huang Dong thought he was not a decent gentleman, and he only knew a few hundred words, but he knew very well what it meant to be "the grace of knowing the encounter".
Letting a shopkeeper from a humble background manage the restaurant, Sikong Gu thinks it's not too much, but trusting a shopkeeper from a humble background, Sikong Gu knows very well that this is just a joke. These market figures, these so-called righteous spirits of the rivers and lakes, in Sikong Gu's eyes, are no different from believing in the moon in the well and the flowers in the mirror. As long as there is a letter at the mouth of the well, as long as the mirror is broken, or as soon as the moon falls and the flower withers, the relationship between myself and them will turn into a cloud of smoke, and there is no need to spend any effort at all.
But Sikong Gu can also expect what the situation of the Cao Gang without Yang Shuo should be now, if nothing else, Nangong Jun, the "acting gang leader", will remove the word "generation" in less than two years, unless Yang Shuo is willing to return to the Cao Gang within two years.
But seeing Yang Shuo wearing a hat on his head and bringing the teacup to his mouth under the cloth curtain, if it weren't for the extremely eye-catching one-armed, Sikong Gu wouldn't be sure that this person was Yang Shuo.
Wearing a hat on his head, all dressed in pitch black, only the placket of his clothes was gray, Yang Shuo was like a killer at the moment, and in that coffin was the prey he hunted. Seeing that Sikong Gu, who had already made up, walked towards him, Yang Shuo put down the teacup and made a "please" gesture.
"Guest...... Sir...... This ......"
Just as Sikong Gu was about to step into the small compartment, the shopkeeper screamed tremblingly.
Sikong Gu turned his head, but saw that the shopkeeper was holding on to the pillar, his legs trembling, looking at the frightened eyes, and he didn't know whether to stare at Yang Shuo who was turning his head to look outside in the small compartment, or staring at Sikong Gu who was opening the curtain.
"I knew this guest well, and I told the shopkeeper downstairs to bring him two plates of snacks. ”
smiled slightly, although it was extremely kind, but the second little man in this store did not feel like a spring breeze.
Staring at the coffin at the door of this wing, the shopkeeper swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and then took a step and walked downstairs to the lobby step by step. However, when he was about to step on the last step of the ladder, the shopkeeper stepped on the air, and the whole person actually fell forward, but he was smashing on a soft thing.
After being pushed away, the shopkeeper realized that he had bumped into someone else, but the shopkeeper of the teahouse who was trembling.
"Palm...... Shopkeeper's ......"
"I saw what the guest had commanded, so I did it quickly. ”
This shopkeeper is a little rich, his two mustaches are light and sparse, and his whole face is both majestic and a little panicked.
He ...... All he needs is two plates of snacks. ”
"Go, tell the back kitchen, what are you panicking about? Our 'Cloud Tower' is protected by the Sea Shark Gang, Lu Daxia has already sent a message back, and in a quarter of an hour, he will bring someone to come, before that, stabilize me." ”
Hearing this, the second child of this shop seemed to be dead and alive in his own mother, and he responded to the sound and walked into the back kitchen in three steps and two steps.
"I didn't expect that even the masters of the Sea Shark Gang can't be used as backers now, do I have to agree to Kong Daxia's request?"
Thinking of the "cold-faced killer" who walked into the store with a coffin just now, the root of the shopkeeper in Yunzhonglou couldn't help but tremble. (To be continued.) )
