At night, there are many mansions.
"What do you mean?" Da Dai asked coldly, looking at the money that the Three-Word King put on the table.
"I'll give it back to you." The three-character king is still the same, always using three or three words.
"Didn't I already say that you don't need to retreat?" Da Dai said again.
"Not for free." But the three-character king still insisted.
Obviously, the three-character king is a more principled person. Where money should be added, money must be added. But when money should not be taken, for example, if he quits doing the work halfway or can no longer do it, he will also The money will be refunded in full.
He was like this to Di Bujue before, and he is like this to Da Dai now.
"I know, now that Liu Huaqiang has been arrested, and that Ding Run has not obtained any advantage from the Hunyuan Star Gate people..." Da Dae also understood the meaning of the three-character king, so he replied, "But just because This way, I need you more."
"How do you say it?" the Three-Word King asked.
This is indeed a problem. After all, most of the people he originally needed to deal with are no longer threats, so there seems to be no need to continue to employ him.
"Hmph...it's not obvious." Da Dai snorted coldly and muttered with side eyes, "As soon as Dong Xie Xi Du arrived in Guangzhou, he came to me, Ah Bin, and Gong Jingyi one after another. Now the other two are with them. I was deflated by the 'beating' and became extra calm, so the next person they will deal with... will definitely be me."
"None of my business?" The Three-Word King asked again.
"Brother Wang, don't you use money to do things?" Da Dai continued, "It's just like doing things. I don't need you to kill people now, I just need you to protect me secretly for a while... I will pay you, and you can even do it again. I’ll add some for you, you’ll make a profit from this deal.”
After hearing this, the Three-Word King thought for a moment, then raised his finger and pointed at himself: "Only killing people." After saying these three words, he paused, shook his head, and then said, "No bodyguards."
A trace of displeasure flashed in Da Dai's eyes, and he said sophistry: "Then just think that I hired you to 'kill some people who are not good for me,' okay?"
"Ha..." The Three-Word King smiled. He was an old man in the world, could he be fooled like this? He immediately answered, "For example?"
Da Dai really dared to poke fun at the words, and immediately said: "For example... tomorrow morning, I have to go to a shabby place where chickens don't poop and birds don't lay eggs to go to Sun Shaoxia's fishing appointment."
"Ha! Haha...hahahaha..." Upon hearing this, the Three-Word King couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Because this sentence reminded him of the days when he was practicing the Seven Jue Formation of Swordsmanship. He often listened to Huang Donglai telling many stories about "why he and Brother Sun should wear helmets when going fishing."
"I've also heard a little bit about Brother Wang's friendship with Dong Hue and Xi Du." Seeing the other party laughing and saying nothing, Da'er continued, "I'll make it clear, I just took a fancy to this and wanted to Brother Wang, can you accompany me for a walk; I think...as long as you stand by my side, Sun Yixie will have to give some face or be a little afraid."
When he said this, he paused for a few seconds. Seeing that the Three-Word King still didn't nod in agreement, he increased the stakes and added: "As long as Brother Wang agrees, how much will it cost? You can say it, and as soon as tomorrow's matter is over, Whether you want to stay or go, it’s up to you.”
When the three-character king heard this, he suppressed his smile, stepped forward, patted Da Da on the shoulder, and suddenly said: "He is a nice person."
Da Dai didn't understand why the other party started praising himself.
The Three-Word King immediately added: "Just a word of advice..." He said, pointing to his head, "Wear a helmet."
He finished these nine words three times, then turned and left.
He still left the money on the table.
People, even big ones, can’t be kept.
Of course, for Da La, being rejected by the Three-Word King was not particularly surprising, so he wasn't too angry.
Judging from the results, after the two days of Shuanghe's tossing, among the three giants of the Longmen Gang, Da'er has suffered the least losses so far; Afan and Gong Jingyi, who had conflicts of interest with him, have now suffered serious losses, and the Three-Character King has suffered the most. Although he didn't accomplish anything for him, all the money he received was returned.
To say what the big loss was, it was just that he burned his arms at the market the day before yesterday, and also scrapped a younger brother. Compared with Aben and the others, what he did was not a shame.
The problem at hand is: he is worried that when he goes fishing with Sun Yixie tomorrow, the other party will do something to him, or make some demands that he cannot accept.
This... is impossible to guard against.
After all, Shuangxie is backed by the imperial court. Now all the Green Forest Road bosses who are vying for the leading position in Guangzhou have heard about it... Even the cypress chasing the dragon and the cypress head hunter have to listen to Shuangxie's dispatch, even Longmen The gang leader and the young gang leader can't take advantage of them... If they continue to cause trouble like this for a while, let alone investigate the "death of the leader", by then they will have "taken care of" all the competitors. , they said whoever takes it will take it?
In fact, Sun and Huang did have the same plan.
Think about it, the former leader Gong Lianjun has been dead for more than half a month, and his body has been buried for many days. And because of his special status, he was not sent to the government for an autopsy after his death. Instead, Longmen found someone for him. The test found that "he died from a blunt blow to the back of the neck"; at that time... there was no modern forensic technology, so Huang Donglai and Sun Yixie went to investigate. Can they find out the ghost?
Therefore, it is basically impossible to find out the truth from the physical evidence; if you want to make things right, you have to start with the living people.
That's the classic method - if you can't solve the problem, solve the people who raised the problem.
Why did Shuangxie not care much about the details of the leader's death after meeting Gan Feihong, but was very interested in "who has the strength to compete for the leader"?
It's very simple. As long as you can "take down" all the strongest competitors and ensure that no one makes trouble after the new leader takes over, wouldn't it be fine?
Those uncles were timid and did not dare to choose just because they had seniority but no strength and could not make a decision.
As for the government, just like what Deng Tianlin said, although they have strength, because they and Lulin are generally antagonistic, it is unfair for them to directly "arrange" the ownership of the leader...
However, when the government found a third party like Shuangxie, the situation suddenly became clearer.
In the past two days, the people of the Hunyuan Star Sect have cut through the mess in Guangzhou with a sharp knife, and in the blink of an eye, they have almost "beaten" the three big guys of the Longmen Gang.
Hao Jingyu of the Cangdu Gang is one of their own, and he is "facing the imperial court." He actually doesn't want to be the leader, but as the general manager of the Green Forest Road and Waterway, he has to be present when such a big event happens. .
As for "Immediate Yama" Dong Xiao, "Ghost Face Feng" Ling Sheng'er, and "Farewell at First Sight" Luo Yu, these three are just here to join in the fun. The chance of being selected is never high, and it is not possible to defeat them. It would be too difficult.
To sum up, the only hard nut that Shuanghe will face next is Nazu Tingfeng.
After dealing with the above-mentioned people, and then formulating a method that everyone can accept, and selecting a new leader, everything will be fine.
As for who the murderer of Gong Lianjun is, it doesn't matter at all.
This is something that even someone's own son doesn't really care about, let alone outsiders. Those who clamor "You are not allowed to choose the leader without finding out the truth" are just biting someone who is inconvenient to refute in terms of morality and reason. They want to muddy the water and make profits from it... This is something that everyone understands tacitly.
However, Shuanghe has a plan for Shuanghe, and Zu Tingfeng also has a plan for Zu Tingfeng.
No one expected that the leader of the ancestral gang would actually come up with a plan to "find out the truth about Gong Lianjun's death"...
Maybe it's because Zu Tingfeng and Gong Lianjun have always been at odds. He, the biggest suspect, is very passionate about finding out the truth even though he knows he is not the murderer.
Even at the expense of... using some power that he didn't understand.
…………
It was also the same night at the temporary residence of the Zhenyun Gang.
"Gang leader, people have arrived."
"Invite him in."
After Zu Tingfeng finished saying this, not long after, his deputy Alai opened the door and introduced someone.
This man looks to be in his thirties, wearing a white hunting coat, a black black hat, holding a bat fan, and wearing a pair of shoes. His expression is cold and his equipment is extraordinary.
After Alai led the man into the house, he took a few steps forward and said to Zu Tingfeng: "Gang leader, this is Master Kamo from Japan."
After saying that, Alai also waved his hand towards Kamo behind him.
Zu Tingfeng sat there and did not move. He just raised his hands and clasped his fists: "Zhenyun Gang, Zu Tingfeng, I have met the mage."
"This is Hayato Kamo, this is the first time we meet, please take care of me." Kamo said, and he bowed his fist to Zu Tingfeng in a decent manner.
"Huh?" Zu Tingfeng raised his eyebrows and asked suspiciously after hearing what the other party said, "Master, you speak Mandarin very well."
His doubts were reasonable. Zu Tingfeng had met some Japanese people before. Although some of them could also speak Dazu's Mandarin, most of them had very obvious accents. You could tell that they were Japanese people at first glance, but The Master Kamo in front of him did not have that kind of accent, and his Mandarin was even more standard than Zu Tingfeng.
"Heh... Gang Leader, thank you." Kamo replied with a smile, "Because our Kamo family has had a profound study of Han culture for generations, I have been able to speak the Mandarin here since I was a child."
Kamo's answer was not false.
It is normal for a disciple like him who comes from a famous Onmyoji family to be familiar with Chinese culture.
Since the Asuka Era, these families who inherit Onmyodo have never been far away from the core of power in the country of Japan. In most periods, their status is superior to ordinary samurai and officials, and even some royal families and nobles. There is no comparison with them.
These people can be said to be the "invisible nobles" in Japanese history. At least before the Meiji Restoration, they never really declined.
However... in the story of our book, they happen to be in a relatively delicate period - Japan's Warring States Period.
When you see this, someone must say that the Dazao in your book lasted for more than three hundred years, which means it was at least the end of the seventeenth century, but the Warring States Period ended at the beginning of the seventeenth century. Time Not right?
Damn, parallel universe.
Since this great dynasty can continue forever, why can't Japan's Warring States Period come a few years later?
Let’s put it this way, in our book, the entire Warring States Period came more than a hundred years later. In other words, during the Dazai Yongtai Period, the three-way original war on the island country next door was still going on. What about Oda? People like Nobunaga, Toyotomi Hideyoshi are also still alive.
Of course, we will mention their affairs again in the "Japanese Chapter" of the document later, so we will not list them in detail here.
For now, let’s talk about Onmyoji Kamo Hayato first.
"Oh..." Zu Tingfeng nodded after hearing his answer, "That's great, it saves a lot of trouble." After saying that, he waved his hand towards Alai, "Alai, don't Stand still, quickly move a seat for the mage."
"Yes." Alena's hands and feet were very nimble. When he answered, he had already moved a stool.
Nagamo used to sit on his knees most of the time in his hometown, but after coming here, he quickly followed the local customs and sat on a stool if there was one.
After all...this high table and big chair are more comfortable than kneeling on the tatami; we are all human beings, it does not mean that after you kneel with bow legs, your legs will not be numb if you kneel again. Who wants to feel comfortable?
"Thank you, leader." After sitting down, Kamo thanked him.
"You're welcome." After Zu Tingfeng responded to this sentence, he went straight to the point, "Zu is a rough man, and I will no longer mince words with you, mage. I will tell the truth. I'll treat you this time." Come on, just one thing... I want you, Master, to find out the cause of a person's death."
"Ha..." He Mao smiled calmly when he heard this. He didn't even have to wait for the other party to say the name of the deceased before he continued, "The person the Zu Gang Leader mentioned is the former Gang Lianjun of the Longmen Gang, Gong Lianjun?"
