To the west of Tokyo Outer City, Xiudefang, Liuye Lane.
In a small, inconspicuous courtyard, two people were whispering about something in a closed room:
"What does it mean to be the boss? They have already promised such great benefits. This time, as long as our brothers can cooperate with them, no matter whether it succeeds or not, we will get three thousand taels of gold. And as long as we light the fire, Then there will be no less benefits for our brothers."
"Why are you in a hurry? I have already conveyed your thoughts to the boss, and he also said that he will consider it, but he is still a little undecided for the moment. It's not like you don't know what the situation is in Tokyo right now. Those soldiers coming into the city Horses are not easy to deal with, they all kill without blinking an eye, and once they are caught, the consequences will be extremely serious."
"How can it fall into their hands so easily? They have only been in Tokyo for a few days, can they know the twists and turns of the road here? What's more, they still have scruples and are afraid of hurting those people. As long as our brothers make good use of this, it will be enough to fight with them. They've been going around for a while. And we don't really want to fight them head-on. We're just causing some trouble in the city. The initiative lies with us... "
"What you said is indeed reasonable, but in the end, everything still has to be listened to by the boss. You also know the boss's methods. If you dare to act against his will in private, no one can afford it."
"Humph, why is Boss Cheng so procrastinating? This great opportunity is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Maybe it can allow our brothers to walk from the dark to the light and become high-ranking officials in the court..." His words were suddenly interrupted by the creak of the door. , and then the dissatisfaction on his face turned into a fawning smile: "Cheng... Cheng boss..."
Unexpectedly, the "Cheng Boss" who was awe-inspiring in the mouths of the two sturdy men turned out to be a slightly thin young man. On the surface, he didn't have the slightest authority that a powerful man should have. Only when his eyes swept over the two people's faces. , only then brought out a fierce and sharp sword-like aura.
But immediately, he suppressed the aura in his eyes, smiled, flashed the wine jar in his hand and said: "I heard that Tan Laoliu is here, I went to the city to find a jar of good wine to entertain guests. You also You know, the city is in a mess now, and it’s not easy to get such a good jar of wine, so I delayed it for a while. Why, it seems that you are a little dissatisfied." As he said this, he had already entered the room and sat down naturally. In the top position, the brothers on both sides outside the door seemed to dare not even breathe.
Although this grown-up boss is young and has only risen to prominence in the past two or three years, his methods are indeed ruthless and he has suppressed almost all the street figures in Tokyo. In a sense, his His status is no longer lower than that of the leaders of Gui Fanlou in Wuyou Cave, and his influence may be even greater. In the past two years, almost everyone who was his enemy died in mysterious circumstances, and even his family members quickly disappeared into the city. The situation was extremely terrifying.
Tan Laoliu, who had shown some dissatisfaction just now, completely changed his demeanor at this time. He quickly nodded and bowed and said: "Young man, how dare you? I'm just worried that you will encounter some trouble when I become the boss, so I'm a little anxious."
"Really? That's good." Mr. Cheng laughed and nodded. Then he took the wine bowl on the table and poured the three of them with fine wine. Then he looked at Tan Laoliu and said, "That's it. Let’s talk about business.”
"yes
. The people over there contacted our brothers in the afternoon and wanted to ask us to do something in Tokyo to show the rebels. It would be best to disrupt the entire Tokyo city. For example, arson and murder. If it could be done, it would be even better to burn down a famous place like Fan Tower, so as to coordinate with their next actions. "Sun Tucai has just led his army to capture Tokyo, and there are already people in the dark who are ready to stir up trouble and completely mess up the entire city, and plan to draw chestnuts from the fire!
Seeing that Boss Cheng remained unmoved, he continued: "And the benefits they offered are really not low. As long as we nod, we will receive three thousand taels of gold first. Once the deal is completed, we will give another fifty thousand taels of gold. In addition, he can recommend me to enter the officialdom. Boss Cheng, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. As long as it is done, we brothers will have what they have always wanted, and we can do it."
"What do you think?" Boss Cheng glanced at the other person next to him.
"It can be done. After all, this rebel army has just arrived in Tokyo and has an 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 what they promised to give them. What do you think of the benefits?”
"This...this much gold is indeed something we can't earn no matter what. They are sincere enough."
"I don't think so. With our current strength, we really have to do whatever it takes to be as unscrupulous as we did in Guifanlou. Not to mention tens of thousands of taels of gold, even hundreds of thousands of taels of gold is not difficult." Boss Cheng shook his head: "As for The so-called appointment of an official and a wish after things are accomplished is even more nonsense. I don’t even know the background of the person behind him, so how can I believe in these future benefits? Don’t you think so?"
Tan Laoliu immediately understood that Boss Cheng was trying to find out the identity of the person behind him. This made him hesitate a little. The other party was now controlled by the rebels. If his people who were contacted through various means were leaked and found out, the consequences would be quite serious.
Seemingly seeing his concerns, Boss Cheng sneered again: "Now you can see how sincere they are, right? They don't even want to tell the identity of the person behind the scenes, so why should I believe it?" Will you do any good to my brothers after we are done? Don’t tear down the bridge, unload the mill and kill the donkey for us, then we won’t even have a place to cry out that we were wronged.”
Tan Laoliu felt a headache. He really didn't expect that this adult would be so cautious and even care about this. But the boss Cheng took his time and raised his bowl to make a toast. After touching the two bowls with him, he said: "I really don't understand what these so-called nobles think. If you can't trust us, don't even think about it. They need to use our power to act. If you really want to ask us for help, don't always think that you are superior and think about hiding your identity. They don't even look at what time it is now. Without our help, they will There is no doubt that they will die. That Sun Tu is not a man of faith. As long as the situation in the city is stabilized, he will kill them. Now for them, they have no better choice but to ask me for help. Then make everything clear. , you have given me all the benefits.”
He said this while staring into Tan Laoliu's eyes, which immediately increased the pressure on the other party. If you think about it more carefully, that's really what happened. Now all the forbidden troops in the city have been disarmed, and the official residences have also been
They have been surrounded and targeted by the rebels for a long time, and there is absolutely nothing they can do. Therefore, the only way to save the situation is to believe in the power of these urban foxes and rats.
After finishing the bowl of wine, Tan Laoliu finally made up his mind and said: "To tell you the truth, it is not one person and one family, but the two big families of Cai and Liang, as well as the Han family, the Wen family, the Lin family... these high-ranking officials in the court Our families jointly asked us to find us. Now that you are the boss, you should believe their sincerity, right? With their family wealth and status, as long as the matter is accomplished, they will give tens of thousands taels of gold and find a job for the brothers. It’s not a trivial matter, how could they go back on their words after the fact?”
After hearing these words, Boss Cheng's eyes flashed: "I know all of these families, but their people can't spread the news. Judging from the situation, there should be someone out there taking charge of the overall situation, right? This is what I want. As long as you tell me who he is, I will take over the matter."
"This..." Tan Laoliu had another headache. He wanted to find someone to deal with him, but he knew that lying in front of this person would not work because he knew the city of Tokyo too well. After hesitating for a moment, he finally gritted his teeth and said: "It was Mr. Li Wei of Li's Trading Company who came forward to ask us to take action. The Li's Trading Company had close contacts with many noble people in the court, and he was not an official in the court, so It’s much easier to do things…”
"It turns out it's him." Boss Cheng grinned, showing his white teeth: "I really ignored this old guy, he really hid it very deep. In this case..."
Tan Laoliu felt his head was a little dizzy, perhaps because he was in a dilemma and thinking too much, but he was still happy that he had finally convinced this guy. The pressure that the boss put on him was really quite big. . But in the end, just when his smile was on his face, he heard a conclusion that made him panic: "Then let's do it!"
As soon as these words came out, in the yard outside the door, behind the brothers brought by Tan Laoliu, the two men of the grown-up boss took action at the same time. An iron fist was like a hammer, and it was as powerful as thunder. The men who were on guard beat them until they fell to the ground. The other man's sword was like the wind, and his moves were both cruel and dangerous, all targeting the vital points on the opponent's back. His moves were faster than that man's, and he stabbed five men to the ground in the blink of an eye.
Tan Laoliu looked at his men outside as if he had seen a ghost and was being killed like melons and vegetables. He screamed: "Tie Youxia, Leng Lingqi... Cheng Yayu you..." He was about to get up and fight to the death. He gave it a try, but as soon as he got up with all his strength, he felt like the world was spinning, he was dizzy, and he fell down again. Only then did he realize to his horror that he had been poisoned by the Mongolian sweat medicine, and that he had completely fallen into the opponent's trap.
Cheng Yayu's face was filled with a sarcastic sneer at this time. He glanced at the wine bowl in his hand that was not reduced by half: "Remember from now on, you have to be careful when drinking with others. Don't let others let you go if you are confused." Fell. Only in this way can we achieve great things, but you are doomed to fail!"

Hmm, I wonder how many of you still remember this supporting role that once appeared. In addition, how many book friends have heard or seen the names just mentioned? The three of them are together with Lao Cui, who was a big IP in the past...
Look, today passers-by used foreshadowing from hundreds of chapters away again, so it’s not too much to ask for a vote or something. After all, I forgot all about it yesterday. . . . .
