Chapter 1036 Underground Forces (1)
West of Tokyo's outer city, Xiudefang, Liuye Lane.
In a small inconspicuous yard, two people were whispering in a closed room:
"What does it mean to be a boss? There has been a huge benefit there. This time, as long as our brothers can cooperate with them, no matter whether they succeed or not, three thousand taels of gold will be obtained. As long as the fire is lit, the benefits of our brothers will be even less."
"What are you anxious about? I have already told the boss what you mean. He also said he would consider it, but he was just a little confused. You are not unaware of the situation in Tokyo now. The soldiers who came into the city are not good at it. They all killed people without blinking. Once they were really caught, the consequences would be extremely serious."
"How can it fall into their hands so easily? They have only been to Tokyo for a few days, can they recognize the twists and turns of the road here? Besides, they have some concerns, and they are afraid of hurting the people. As long as our brothers make good use of this, it will be enough to deal with them. Moreover, we are not really going to fight head-on with them, but we just cause some trouble in the city. The initiative is with us..."
"What you said is indeed reasonable, but after all, you have to listen to the boss. You also know the boss's methods. If you dare to act against his will, no one can afford to take it."
"Hmph, why did Boss Cheng procrastinate so much? This good opportunity is once a lifetime. Maybe we can still walk from the dark to the open and become a high-ranking official in the court..." His words were suddenly interrupted by a creaking sound from the door, and then the dissatisfaction on his face turned into a flattering smile: "Boss Cheng...Boss Cheng..."
Surprisingly, the awe-inspiring "Boss Cheng" who was awe-inspiring in the mouths of two men with a tiger's back and bear's waist was a slightly thin young man. On the surface, he didn't have the majesty that the heroes of the world should have. Only when his eyes swept across the faces of the two people, he brought out a sharp and knife-like momentum.
But then, he lowered his aura again, smiled and lit up the wine jar in his hand and said, "I heard that Tan Laoliu, you came, I went to the city to find a jar of good wine to entertain guests. You also know that the city is messy now, and it is not easy to make such a good jar of good wine, so it took a while. Why? It seems that you are a little dissatisfied." As he said, he had already entered the house and naturally sat at the top of the head. The brothers outside the door seemed to be afraid to breathe.
Although this old man Cheng is not old and has risen in the past two or three years, his methods are indeed ruthless, and he has almost suppressed most of the Taoist figures in Tokyo City. In a sense, his status is no longer under the leaders of the Wuyou Cave Guifan Tower back then, and the influence may be even greater. In the past two years, almost all those who are enemies of him died inexplicably, and even his family quickly disappeared into the city, which was extremely terrible.
Tan Laoliu, who had just shown certain dissatisfaction, had completely changed at this time. He hurriedly nodded and bowed: "How dare you, little? I'm just worried that you have encountered some trouble, Boss, and you're a little anxious."
"Is that so? That's good." Mr. Cheng nodded with a smile, then took the wine bowl on the table, poured the wine in the jar for all the three of them, and then looked at Tan Laoliu and said, "Then let's talk about the serious business."
"Yes. The people over there contacted our brothers in the afternoon and wanted to ask us to do something in Tokyo to let the rebels see it. It would be better to disrupt the entire Tokyo city. For example, arson and murder. If it can be done, it would be even better to burn a famous place like Fanlou, so as to cooperate with their next actions." Sun Tu had just led his army to capture Tokyo, and someone in the dark began to stir up the entire city, and planned to take Ji from the fire!
Seeing that the boss Cheng was not in a state of sensation, he continued: "And the benefits they offered are really not low. As long as we nod, we will first receive 3,000 taels of gold. Once things are done, we will be given 50,000 taels of gold. In addition, we can recommend us to enter the officialdom at that time. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. As long as we do it, we will have everything we have always wanted, and we can do it."
"What do you think?" Boss Cheng glanced at another person next to him.
"It can be done. After all, this rebel army has just arrived in Tokyo and has a unstable foothold. As long as we seize the opportunity, we can cause them a lot of trouble..." His words were quickly cut off by Boss Cheng: "I mean the benefits they promised to give, what do you think?"
"This...we can't make any money, they are sincere enough."
"I don't think so. With our current strength, we really have to do whatever we want as we did when Gui Fanlou was back then. Not to mention tens of thousands of taels of gold, even hundreds of thousands of taels of taels of gold are not difficult." Boss Cheng shook his head: "As for the so-called official wish after the matter is completed, it is even more nonsense. I don't even know what the person behind him is. How can I believe in these future benefits? Do you think so?"
Tan Laoliu immediately understood that Boss Cheng was turning around and asking him about the identity of the person behind him. This made him he hesitate a little. The other party is now controlled by the rebels and only contacted by his own people through means. If they are leaked, once they are found there, the consequences will be quite serious.
As if he saw his concerns, Boss Cheng sneered again: "Now you should see how much sincerity they have become? You don't even want to say the identity of the person behind the scenes. Why do I believe that you will give my brothers benefits after the matter is done? Don't give us a cross-border bridge or a killing donkey. At that time, we will have no place to shout for injustice."
Tan Laoliu felt a headache. He really didn't expect that Cheng Lao Da would be so cautious and even had to care about this. However, Cheng Lao Da was so happy to raise the bowl and toast. After touching him two bowls, he said: "I really don't understand what the so-called noble people are thinking. Since we can't believe it, we should not think about using our strength to act. If we really want to ask us for help, don't always think that we are arrogant and still think about hiding our identity. They don't see when it's now. If we don't help, they will definitely die. Then Sun Tu is not a good man and a woman. As long as we stabilize the situation in the city, they will kill them. Now there is no better choice for them, so they can only ask me for help, so they will explain everything clearly and give me enough benefits."
He said this as he stared at Tan Laoliu's eyes, and immediately increased the pressure on the other party. Thinking about it carefully, it was really that way. Now all the imperial guards in the city have been disarmed, and the official residence has been surrounded by rebels and can't do anything at all. Therefore, the only thing that can save the situation is to believe in the power of these city foxes and clubs.
After doing that bowl of wine, Tan Laoliu finally made up his mind and said, "Tell you the truth, it's not a family of one person, but the two major families of Cai and Liang, as well as the Han family, Wen family, and Lin family... The families of these senior officials in the court were instructed to find us together. Now, you should believe their sincerity, right? With the property and status of these people, as long as they succeed, it's not a trivial matter to give tens of thousands of taels of gold and to find a job for their brothers. How could they go back on their word afterwards?"
After hearing this, Boss Cheng's eyes flashed: "I know all these families, but their people can't get news. Depending on the situation, there should be someone outside taking charge of the overall situation? What I want is the identity of this person. As long as you tell me who he is, I will take this matter."
"This..." Tan Laoliu had another headache and wanted to find someone to make excuses, but he knew that lying in front of this person would not work, because he knew Tokyo City too well. After he hesitating for a while, he finally gritted his teeth and said, "It was Mr. Li Wei and Mr. Li from the Li Family Trading Company who came forward to let us take action. The Li Family Trading Company had close contacts with many noble people in the court, and he was not an official in the court, so it was much more convenient to act..."
"So it's him." Boss Cheng grinned and showed his white teeth: "I really ignored this old thing. He really hid it very deeply. Since that's the case..."
Tan Laoliu felt a little dizzy in his head. Perhaps it was because he was embarrassed and thought too much just now, but he was still happy and finally convinced this guy. The pressure on Boss Cheng was really a lot of. But as a result, just as his smile climbed onto his cheeks, he heard a conclusion that made him lose his soul: "Then do it!"
As soon as these words came out, behind the brothers brought by Tan Laoliu, two elders from Cheng Lao had already taken action at the same time. One iron fist was like a hammer and like thunder, hitting three unprepared men one after another, knocking them to the ground. The other man had a sword like a wind, with both fierce and dangerous moves, and all took the opponent's back and forth, and the move was faster than that person. In the blink of an eye, he stabbed five men to the ground.
Tan Laoliu looked at his subordinates outside like a ghost and was killed like chopping melons and vegetables, screaming in shock: "Tie Youxia, Leng Lingqi... Cheng Yayu, you..." He was about to get up and fight to the death, but as soon as he got up, he felt a dizzy and dizzy, and the person fell down softly. Then he was frightened to find that he had been covered with sweat and was completely obsessed with the other party's words.
Cheng Yayu's face was full of sarcastic sneers, and he looked at the wine bowl that had not been reduced by half: "Remember in the future, be more careful when drinking with others, and don't be knocked down if you are confused. Only in this way can you achieve great things, and you are doomed to fail!"

Well, I wonder how many people still remember this supporting role that once appeared. In addition, several book friends have heard of or seen the names of them just now? The three of them are together with Lao Cui, but they are a big IP in the past...
