[Old Nine Gates] The concubine is polite

American Changsha Chamber of Commerce——

"Mr. Jude Kao, an informant has come to report that Zhang Qishan, Er Yuehong and others have entered the mine." Japanese spy Ryoko Tanaka, dressed in red, bowed to Jude Kao and reported the latest news in a low voice.

"Not bad!" Jude Kao sat sideways on the tatami, while wiping the Japanese samurai sword, admiring the sharpness of the blade, "I found the entrance so quickly, it really is a master."

"Sir, I seem to appreciate those Chinese people quite a bit." Displeased by Jude Kao's sloppy attitude, Ryoko Tanaka narrowed her eyes slightly.

"They can't do anything else, they still have the ability to rob graves."

"Then what should we do?"

"Clang!" With the sword in its sheath, Jude Kao retracted the knife neatly, "We're not doing anything, the mine is extremely dangerous, so it's okay to let them explore the way first." After finishing speaking, Jude Kao made tea slowly Come.

"In case they are clever and can't find it..." Although Ryoko Tanaka hated the ignorance of these Chinese people, their skills might not be the reason why Ryoko Tanaka always wanted to recruit them.

"It won't be so fast." Jude Kao interrupted Liangzi's worries, poured himself a cup of tea skillfully, took a sip, and explained: "Back then, when Er Yuehong's ancestors went to the tomb, they didn't get nothing. Now Zhang Qishan Going to the tomb with Er Yuehong, even if they have the ability, it will take time. So, don't worry, I will know when I should take action."

"You, are you so sure?"

"Don't think so much, just do as I say." Jude Kao felt a little impatient with Tanaka Ryoko's repeated distrust, "Your military sent you here to listen to me, not to lead me .”

"Since you know, I am serving the Imperial Army of Japan." Ryoko Tanaka couldn't help but sneered and reminded: "You should understand that I am defending the interests of the Imperial Army. Direct instructions must be foolproof."

"So Mr. Jude Kao, I hope you can understand that you are working for our imperial army. If something goes wrong, I can't guarantee that you can leave Changsha safely!"

"There is a saying in China." Jude Kao looked up at Liang Zi and said with a smile: "Being entrusted by others is a matter of loyalty. Please rest assured, I will know these words even if you don't say them."

"It's best to understand!"

Seeing that there was still distrust in Liangzi's eyes, Jude raised his hands, stood up, looked down at Liangzi and said, "Do you think I really didn't do anything?"

Ryoko Tanaka showed doubts in his eyes, "What's the move, sir?"

"Zhang Qishan's roots are deep in Changsha, and he has always dominated everyone in the Old Nine Gates. No one dares to touch him in Changsha City. If he is not around, isn't it a chance for us to win?"

"Win?" Ryoko Tanaka sneered, "As far as I know, the Nine Clans of Changsha are extremely united. Why haven't we tried to win them over over the years, but no matter how we tried with gold, silver, wealth, fame, fortune, and power, we all tried to win them over one by one. It failed. Now it’s hard to find the breakthrough of tangerine peel, but in the end, that stinky boy escaped again, and, according to the report from the informant at Tongtai Wharf, there is still no news about this person.”

"He's gone overseas." Jude Kao suddenly threw out the unexpected news, "On the night of the ninth day of the Lunar New Year, someone saw him appearing on a merchant ship going out to sea, so it's normal for your people to not be able to find him."

"Overseas?" Ryoko Tanaka frowned, "Why did he go overseas for no reason?"

"This is also what I can't figure out. In my original plan, I needed him to help me complete one thing, but this person suddenly disappeared for no reason, wasting my plan for a month!" What Jude Kao concealed was that he was actually In addition, he bought a group of desperadoes and tracked down the merchant ship. He either left people behind or took his life. Anyway, keeping useless people would be a future problem. It would be more reassuring to eliminate them completely.

There is a Chinese saying that goes well, if you cut the grass but don’t get rid of the roots, it will regenerate when the spring breeze blows.

"Since this person is useless, what is the master's plan?"

"Although Zhang Qishan is the head of the Nine Gates, not everyone obeys him. As far as I know, only two of the Nine Gates are Zhang Qishan's true confidantes. One is Xie Jiuye, and the other is Qi Tiezui who was rescued by Zhang Qishan. Qi Tiezui is neither skillful nor good at strategy, so it is nothing to worry about. But Xie Jiuye, I sent someone to test him, his mind and strategy are unfathomable, unless it is absolutely necessary, I really don't want to confront this kind of person .”

"After all, it's not like you can't solve the current predicament."

"I'm talking about unwillingness, not inability. Although Xie Jiuye is smart, he is just a businessman after all. A businessman values ​​profits and is easily driven by interests. If we have enough bargaining chips to impress him, maybe we can borrow money to impress him." The machine is drawn over."

"On the other hand, if you can't win over, you will either kill this person, which is equivalent to breaking Zhang Qishan's arm, or destroy his business, which is equivalent to cutting off his life." Jude Kao's eyes flashed with murderous intent. The enemy must not be merciful.

"Dong dong!" There was a knock on the door of the Japanese room, temporarily interrupting the conversation between the two.

Ryoko Tanaka turned around and strode out the door, "What's the matter?"

The Japanese spy in a black tunic suit outside the door saluted and said in a low voice, "New news."

Ryoko Tanaka was taken aback for a moment, turned his head and glanced inside the room, and pointed his finger at the person coming to signal him to come closer and talk.

"I know about this, you let people continue to follow them, and don't let go of any move."

"Yes!" The Japanese spy saluted again, turned around and left.

Seeing that Ryoko Tanaka was delayed for a long time before returning, Jude Kao poured a cup of hot tea casually, put his fingers together, and stretched out his hand, signaling for Ryoko to sit down and drink tea.

"Mr. Xie." Liang Zi bowed to thank, and then sat down on his knees.

"Any news?"

Liangzi hesitated for a while, but decided to report in the original words: "This morning, Mrs. Zhang Qishan suddenly went out to visit Xieyu Building and Wu Mansion. Because the two places are closely guarded, the informant can't find out what they are talking about secretly. And , Lu Jianxun met with the head of the Huo Mansion, and according to the informant's observation of the expressions of the two, it seems that the two of them are not getting along very well."

"This Lu Jianxun's action is really fast, he was able to get the news, and he knew that he had to find a breakthrough from Huo Dang's family." Jude Kao picked up the teacup and drank it down, with regret in his eyes, "It's a pity..."

"What's the pity, sir?"

"It's a pity that this person is so brave and reckless, he stunned the snake." Jude Kao put the teacup heavily on the low table, "I had three doubts before, but I haven't been able to figure it out. Why is Chen Pi obviously taken away by Lu Jianxun, but he can He was rescued soon."

"Why was Lu Jianxun reprimanded by the superior for no reason, and left Changsha overnight to return to the headquarters?"

"Why is the Zhang residence so tightly guarded that no news has been heard?"

Ryoko Tanaka looked up at Jude Kao who was muttering to himself, frowning at his questions one after another, and asked hesitantly: "Listen to Mr., have you figured it out now?"

"Yes." Jude Kao's eyes flashed with surprise, "I think I can probably guess what's going on. This Changsha City, there is still a hidden force that has been secretly helping Zhang Qishan."

"There is still power?" Ryoko Tanaka was startled, and couldn't help but widen her eyes.

"Before I misunderstood, I always thought it was Zhang Qishan's ability, and he had power in both light and darkness. Because of this wrong idea, I had some scruples about Zhang Qishan. I used to wonder that Zhang Qishan looked like a person who was open-minded and acted openly. , How could he cultivate such a dark force to strengthen himself? Now it seems that the one who possesses this force is not himself, but his wife."

"You mean that concubine, Li Yan who is now promoted as wife?" Ryoko Tanaka felt unbelievable, how could a concubine have such ability?

Jude Kao smiled and nodded, "Don't underestimate her, she is Miss Li Si from the third of the nine doors, and the Li family was very brilliant eight years ago, if accidents happened one after another, where would she be?" would be reduced to third place."

"The centipede is dead but not stiff. If you want to look at the largest underground force in Changsha City, it must be the Li family."

"But she's an aunt..."

"You forgot, she is now the wife." Jude Kao raised his hand to stop Liang Zi from interjecting, "If the head of the Li family, Li Sanye, is bright, then Li Yan is dark. The old habit of the upper three doors is that the head of the house The people make the decisions, and the branch vassals are the real people doing the work."

"You mean that the branch where Li Yan belongs happens to be in charge of the real underground forces of the Li family?"

"It's not necessarily all, but it's almost the same." Jude Kao shook his head and sighed: "This is really bad news. Although this force is gradually turning from dark to bright in our eyes, it is also Yes, it also let us know that Zhang Qishan's faction can affect the whole body, so we must act cautiously."

"Then what should we do? Can we just watch Zhang Qishan and the others find the things in the tomb?" Ryoko Tanaka has never been a character who just sits and waits for death. Now that she knows that there is still a force in Changsha City that has not figured out the situation threatening her, How could she calm down.

"Don't be impatient, things are not without a turnaround."

"Then what do you think of?"

Jude kao frowned and thought, with a bad premonition in his heart, "The news is too sudden, I need to organize my thoughts, you have sent someone to watch Mrs. Nervous these two days, I doubt what she will do when Zhang Qishan is away Big move."

"Big move?" Ryoko Tanaka's heart skipped a beat, and she said in surprise, "She doesn't mean to send someone to kill us, does she?"

"Or, she wants to kill Lu Jianxun who is in the way first, and then kill us?"

--------------------

small theater:

Ryoko Tanaka (surprised): "Sir, isn't she trying to send someone to kill us?"

Jude Kao: "...you think too much." (silently suspecting that this person has persecution paranoia)

Ryoko Tanaka (packing luggage): "I'm worried and decided to move out of here tonight."

Jude Kao (confused): "Where are you going to move?"

The next moment, the sea pier:

Ryoko Tanaka (waving a handkerchief): "Sir, the mountains are high and the water is far away, so take care of yourself."

Jude Kao who was suddenly abandoned: "..."
