Chapter 1631: I used to have no ambitions (two chapters in one)
After hearing what the people in the private room said, the woman immediately opened the door of the private room and invited the tall man with an eyepatch over his right eye.
"Guests, please come in. If you need anything else, please feel free to call us."
The tall man with an eyepatch on his right eye nodded to the woman and then walked into the private room.
"boom."
The door was closed by the woman in her early thirties. The tall man with an eyepatch on his right eye walked into the private room and looked around.
He was indifferent to the luxurious decoration in the room, and his eyes soon fell on the elegant middle-aged man in the private room with a bookish look on his face.
This middle-aged man is probably in his early forties, has a mustache, is wearing white clothes, and has a jade token two fingers wide around his waist.
"I've kept you waiting for a long time." The tall man with an eyepatch on his right eye said to the middle-aged man in front of him, and then came to the table in front of him and sat down.
The gentle middle-aged man with a mustache and wearing white clothes said, "I just arrived."
The tall man with an eyepatch on his right eye naturally did not believe what the middle-aged man with a mustache said. Knowing that the other person said this was to save himself, he smiled and said, "How long have you been lurking in this Tap Rock City?"
Already?"
"It's been more than ten years. At that time, the organization sent me to Tapashi City to infiltrate the city lord's palace in Tapashi City. I didn't have high hopes at first, but I didn't expect that I succeeded. You can't be surprised!" said the man with a mustache.
The middle-aged man smiled.
The tall man with an eyepatch on his right eye nodded. He heard some news from his superior about the middle-aged man with a mustache who had been lurking in the city lord's palace in Tas City for many years.
He didn't go into details about it. After all, he was not in intelligence work, so there was no need to know too much.
"You have been here in Tapashi City for some time. Have things made any progress?" asked the middle-aged man with a mustache.
"No! Almost all the clues found so far have been destroyed.
With those fragmentary clues, I simply cannot find the culprit who killed the members of our organization."
The tall man with an eyepatch on his right eye felt a headache when he heard the middle-aged man with a mustache mention his mission to Tap Seac City.
"The elder also knows that you are at a loss now, so he asked me to come out to meet you and provide you with some clues." The middle-aged man with a mustache said with a smile.
The tall man with an eyepatch on his right eye nodded, and then looked forward to the middle-aged man with a mustache to provide him with some clues.
"Iron Palm Gang." The middle-aged man with a mustache said slowly.
"Iron Palm Gang? Is this gang very powerful?" asked the tall man with an eyepatch on his right eye.
"A small gang engaged in the dock porter business is very weak." said the middle-aged man with a mustache.
"It's just a small gang that does a moving business. How can it be related to our dead members?" The tall man with an eyepatch on his right eye said doubtfully.
"I also heard the name of the Iron Palm Gang from the words of the city lord of Tapashi City. However, the relevant personnel of the city lord's palace have not gone to the Iron Palm Gang because there are still several suspects.
What about me? After some analysis in private, I feel that this Iron Palm Gang is most likely to be related to the few members who died among us.
Therefore, you should take advantage of the relevant investigators from the City Lord's Mansion in Tapshi City to conduct an investigation before going to the Iron Palm Gang, and you should have unexpected gains." said the middle-aged man with a mustache.
"Okay, thank you." The tall man with an eyepatch on his right eye listened carefully to the middle-aged man with a mustache and nodded. He stood up, clasped his fists at the other person, thanked him, and left.
.
The middle-aged man with a mustache saw the tall man with an eyepatch on his right eye and left immediately after listening to his story without asking him to stay.
Because the other party's current mission is very urgent, finding the Iron Palm Gang in advance is his most important thing now.
If you want to entertain the other party, after his task is completed, you will have enough time to entertain him properly.
…………
As night fell, at the dock under the control of the Iron Palm Gang, the last ship loaded with cargo was unloaded by a group of workers, and then the work that should be done today was considered finished.
"Okay, today's work is done, you can go home and rest." The supervisor on the dock said to the workers after a hard day's work.
"Huh... I can finally take a rest. I was very tired today."
"Yeah, a lot of freight has been coming to Tap Seac City recently, but I'm exhausted."
"It was all caused by the floods caused by the previous heavy rain, which caused so many disaster-stricken places in Tap Sic City. As a result, a lot of freight comes to Tap Sic City now. Otherwise, we wouldn't have to be so tired."
"This Iron Palm Gang is really evil. We are now doing twice as much work as usual, but our wages have not increased."
"That's right, the black-hearted Iron Palm Gang, I hope they will get their revenge soon."
"There are other docks recruiting workers recently, and the wages are much higher than the prices offered by this Iron Palm. How about we go work there!"
"Is it true? How are the wages there?"
"It is said that the wages offered are one-third more than here."
"That's one-third more! So much?!!! Come and take me with you."
"Take me too."
"I've long had enough of the birdiness here, take me with you."
"Okay, those who want to go will register with me. I will discuss it with them later and we will go there to work together."
The workers who had had a long day's work whispered to each other, consulted with each other, and then went home together.
The middle-aged worker who said he wanted to switch jobs to another dock was the one who suggested to the supervisor on the dock that everyone take shelter in the shed first when it rained heavily.
After he collected the names of people who wanted to change jobs, he separated from his colleagues and walked towards his home.
Passing by a deserted alley, suddenly, two strong men rushed into the alley and rushed towards him.
"Who are you? What do you want to do?"
"You don't care who we are, we don't like you and we want to teach you a lesson."
"You, you are relatives of Supervisor Wang. I remember you came to him last week to ask for money. What are you going to do? If you dare to attack me, I will report it to the government tomorrow!"
"I'll pay you back! Today I'm going to let you know how hard our fists are."
"ah……"
There was a conversation in the alley, and then screams. After a while, the sounds disappeared, leaving only low groans of pain, and voices begging for mercy, saying that they would never dare to do it again.
…………
In the meeting hall of the Iron Palm Gang, Liu De has been the leader of the Iron Palm Gang for more than half a month, and he is very high-spirited.
When he was just the deputy gang leader, he thought it would be good to be the deputy gang leader.
Valley imitation
Now that he has become the leader of the Iron Palm Gang, he feels that he really had no ambition before, and the deputy gang leader really has no luck at all.
Although the Iron Palm Gang is just a small gang that manages the dock, it still manages hundreds of people. After a year, there is still a lot of money.
"Damn Tie Dashi, I used to cry about poverty all the time, saying that I had many people under my command and all the money I earned was subsidized to my brothers. It turned out that this was all a lie."
After becoming the leader of the Iron Palm Gang, Liu De, who had been in charge of the accounts for more than half a month, immediately cursed the dead Tie Dashi after seeing his income in the past half month.
"Tap tap tap..."
A young man from the Iron Palm Gang with a scar on his forehead walked into the meeting hall of the Iron Palm Gang. Liu De, who was looking at the accounts, was cursing. When he heard a young man walking in, he immediately shut his mouth.
, looked up at the other party and asked.
"How are things going?"
"It's done, gang leader. The guy who encouraged our people to change jobs has been taught a lesson. After that, he should not dare to incite our people to change jobs to other docks again..." The boy with the scar on his forehead said with a smile.
.
"Very good, well done." Liu De nodded, and then gave his little brother some money as a reward.
After receiving the reward, the latter left the meeting hall happily, and then went to have a drink with the two younger brothers who had taught others a lesson.
When Liu De was the only one left in the meeting hall, he continued to look through his accounts for about half an hour.
Liu De looked through all the accounts in his hand. At this time, he stood up, stretched, and then put the accounts in his hand into a secret cabinet in the meeting hall.
After everything was settled, Liu De came to the parking spot on the pier.
The groom, who had been waiting for him for a long time, saw his gang leader coming and said respectfully, "Gang leader, do you want to go home or go to the second lady's place...?"
Second Madam? Yes, within a few days after Liu De became the leader of the Iron Palm Gang, he secretly kept a concubine outside.
Of course, he did not dare to tell his first wife, so the groom, who knew the situation, asked this question.
"Go to the Second Madam's place. After sending me there, you go home. If Madam asks about it, just say it's busy here and I'll rest here tonight." Liu De thought for a while and said.
"drive."
After Liu De got on the carriage, the driver immediately shook the reins in his hand, and then the carriage started and began to drive towards the residence of Liu De's concubine.
"Crack, click, click..."
The wheels rolled on the stone pavement, making a slight sound.
Because he was afraid that his first wife would find out that he was raising a concubine outside, Liu De arranged his concubine's residence in a very remote section of the road.
The carriage driven by the groom went to a small three-entry courtyard built by the river.
As the place the carriage went to became more and more remote, the lights used for illumination on both sides of the street became increasingly dim.
Suddenly, the traveling carriage stopped without warning.
Liu De, who was sitting in the carriage with his eyes closed and concentrating, saw the carriage stopped without warning and asked outside in confusion.
"Why did you stop suddenly? Have you reached the right place?"
"..."
Liu De asked, but there was no movement outside. This made Liu De, who had closed his eyes to relax, opened his eyes and shouted to the outside again in confusion.
"I'm asking you something!"
"..."
The groom driving outside still didn't respond to Liu De's question.
Liu De, who was still a little confused at first, saw that the groom outside still didn't respond to him. At this time, he immediately focused his eyes and the expression on his face became extremely serious.
The coachman driving the car was his confidant and had been with him for several years. Facing his inquiries, he could not remain silent.
If this happens now, something must have happened to the groom outside.
"Could it be that other hostile forces want to annex our Iron Palm Gang's business?"
Liu De immediately had the idea that a hostile gang would steal his business, and did not think about other aspects.
While thinking, he quietly pulled out a short knife from under the low couch where he was sitting.
Carefully opening the curtains of the carriage with the short knife he held tightly in his hand, Liu De discovered that his confidant who was sitting outside driving was missing.
"Um?!!!"
Seeing that his confidant was nowhere to be seen, Liu De's anxious heart was immediately lifted a little higher, and cold sweat broke out in the hand holding the short knife in his hand.
It's no wonder that he is so nervous. After all, he has the first stage of the second stage of cultivation. The enemy can kidnap his confidants without him noticing. Such strength is not something he can deal with.
"Ask you something."
Suddenly, in this section of the road where I couldn't even see my fingers, a cold voice sounded.
"who?"
Hearing a voice suddenly sound beside him, Liu De, who was already nervous, immediately shouted and looked towards the place where the voice came from.
At this time, the dark clouds covering the moon in the sky were blown away by the wind.
With the help of the silver-white moonlight splashed down by the bright moon in the sky, Liu De saw where the sound came from. Standing there was a tall man with an eyepatch on his right eye.
Next to this tall man with an eyepatch on his right eye, a figure was lying.
Isn't this figure his confidant?
At this moment, there is no movement on the body of this confidant, and he does not know whether he is alive or dead?
"Half a month ago, did anyone from the Poison Fang Organization come to ask you about something?" The tall man with an eyepatch on his right eye asked Liu De directly and decisively.
"!!!"
"This person turned out to be..." When Liu De heard the other party's question, his pupils suddenly shrank, his face froze, and fine cold sweat broke out on his forehead. The palm of his right hand holding the dagger began to sweat even more.
The tall man with an eyepatch on his right eye was very experienced. After seeing Liu De's nervous reaction, he naturally knew what he was doing.
So, he stopped asking the first question he asked, and instead asked Liu De a second new question.
"I think you should know in your heart that something has happened to the person who asked you. He was killed by Kazuto. Did you know that?"
