Great Xuanwu Sheng Chapter 43

Chapter 43 Conspiracy

 Somewhere.

 Slightly old temple.

There are no gods or Buddhas in the temple, only a black sculpture with the body of a crow and the face of a human.

Some poor people in ragged clothes, with numb and gray expressions, are kowtowing and praying in front of the sculpture, one after another, in an endless stream. The incense burner in front of the sculpture is also burning incense.

There are some gray-skinned mice in the corner, squeaking and scurrying back and forth in the shadows.

Behind the temple, in a small courtyard, many people wearing strange black costumes were coming and going.

 “Deputy leader, there is some trouble.”

Located in a secluded small room on the innermost side, a Black Crow cult member wearing black clothes is crawling on the ground, reporting to a man who is also wearing black clothes, but with a black crow wing pattern embroidered with red silk thread on the placket. What are you wearing?

The deputy leader sat there, opened his eyes and looked over, and said calmly: "What's wrong?"

“It seems that one of the people arrested in this batch is related to a guy from the City Guards Department…”

The churchgoers lying on the ground carefully reported the situation: "It seems that the people over there have been alerted now, and that person is sending people to investigate the matter."

The deputy leader frowned slightly and said, "Where are the people?"

The congregation reported in low voices: "It has been sent to the main altar."

After hearing this, the deputy leader looked thoughtful and said, "Then just pretend that you don't know about this."

People have been sent to the main altar, and they must not be put back. If any news from the main altar is leaked, it will be a big trouble. As for a city guard officer being involved... that's nothing.

Once that thing can be accomplished, what if it is just a shortcoming in Jiutiaoli, even the Nancheng District General Directorate?

“Okay, don't tell anyone about this, just go down.”

 The deputy leader waved his hand.

The church members responded solemnly, stood up and left.

 The residence of the Chijin Gang.

Compared to the winding, narrow and congested alley where the Bandit Gang stayed, the place where the Chijin Gang lived was much more spacious. They occupied a large area, with multiple nearby yards connected together.

When Chen Mu and his people arrived, they could even hear the shouts of some people practicing sword and martial arts in the backyard.

When the gang members outside heard about Chen Mu's intention, they immediately went in to report. After a while, someone came out and respectfully led Chen Mu and his party into the courtyard, and all the way to the westernmost side, a small courtyard that was obviously much more exquisitely decorated.

“Mr. Chen, you are indeed a talented person, young and promising.”

There was a man in dark robes standing in the yard. Hearing the movement behind him, he slowly turned around. He looked about forty years old and had a pair of bright eyes. He was Yin Hong, the leader of the Chijin Gang.

As the leader of the largest gang in Jiutiao, he has hundreds of gangs under his command, and his power is comparable to that of the City Guards. He also comes from the inner city, and his status is comparable to that of Min Baoyi.

 “I've heard about Gang Leader Yin's name for a long time.”

Chen Mu walked into the courtyard and motioned to Liu Song and others to wait outside.

The Red Gold Gang is obviously also very concerned about the affairs of the Black Crow Sect. This can be seen from the fact that the gang leader Yin Hong met him in person instead of sending a deputy gang leader or the like as soon as he heard about his intention to come.

Chen Mu didn't talk nonsense. He explained his purpose in a few words. After hearing this, Yin Hong pondered for a while and said: "If it has nothing to do with the bandit gang and it is not caused by anyone else, then it is probably really related to the Black Crow Sect. To be honest, even my Red Gold Gang There are gang members who have disappeared from their place, and their whereabouts are still unknown.”

"oh?"

A strange color flashed in Chen Mu's eyes.

After thinking briefly, Yin Hong said: "The Black Crow Cult has created some kind of Black Crow God to defraud the people and extract oil money. It has always been despised by us. In recent days, there have been many disappearances vaguely related to them. Among them There are also relatives of people in my gang who disappeared, and then my gang members went there to investigate, and then their whereabouts were unknown."

"For this reason, I personally went to negotiate with the Black Crow Sect, but was prevaricated by them. For the sake of the stability of Kujoli, it is really inconvenient for me to merge with them. After all, I don't have any evidence here."

Yin Hong said with some shame.

Chen Mu naturally only listened to half of Yin Hong's words. What was for the sake of peace in Jiutiao, and what was without evidence was pure fart. It was just that he did not want to cause trouble with the Black Crow Sect and both parties would suffer, and others would take advantage of him.

When Yin Hong said this, he looked at Chen Mu with stern eyes and said: "This Black Crow Sect is so audacious that they even dare to touch the people of the City Guards Department. I suspect there is a bigger conspiracy behind them. Master Chen can go to the Min Chai Department Report this matter, and if the City Guard comes forward, then our Chijin Gang will definitely be willing to cooperate in the investigation."

 The intention of this sentence is obvious.

What disappearances and conspiracies are most likely all nonsense. Yin Hong wants to take the opportunity to join forces with the City Guards to clear out all the territory occupied by the Black Crow Sect in Jiutiao.

After all, the power of the Black Crow Sect spreads across many "li", and its power is obviously greater than that of the Chijin Gang. Although the Chijin Gang has a so-called backstage in the inner city, to put it bluntly, it is just some domestic dogs casually cultivated by big figures in the inner city. He just urged to use it when he needed it, and he didn't bother to look at it when he didn't need it. If the Chijin Gang wanted to develop, Yin Hong could only rely on himself.

If they can take advantage of this opportunity and provoke the City Guards to take the lead, then their Red Gold Gang can naturally follow suit, repair the Black Crow Cult severely, and throw them out of Jiujiao.

 “It's not necessarily a conspiracy.”

Chen Mu naturally knew Yin Hong's purpose, and he was not instigated by Yin Hong to become a gun of the Chijin Gang in just two or three words. He said in a calm tone: "It's just a trafficking of some people. It's just a small sect. What kind of climate can it become?”

After hearing this, Yin Hong let out a hey and said, "Master Chen lives in the City Guards Department, so he may not be as well-informed as the rest of us. Master Chen may not have noticed that recently... there have been a lot of gray-skinned rats in the city for no reason?"

Um?

 Chen Mu suddenly had a strange look in his eyes when he heard Yin Hong's words.

As Yin Hong said, there were indeed a lot of gray-skinned mice that he had met in the past few days. Not only that, they were also very big, ferocious in temperament, and dared to attack people. It was very unusual, but he did not tell this matter. Connected with the Black Crow Cult.

Yin Hong said with deep eyes: "Although the men I sent have disappeared for no reason, they still got some information. In addition to worshiping the Black Crow God, there is also an unknown protector **** in the Black Crow Sect. ', and the image of this protector is a gray-skinned rat body!"

These words finally made Chen Mu's eyes flash.

　Disappearance case,

  Dharma protector,

 Gray-skinned mouse,

Most of Yin Hong's information is true. If there are only one or two things related to the Black Crow Cult, it won't be a big deal. But including the disappearance case, the presence of gray-skinned rats everywhere, and the hidden so-called protector god, various signs and clues are gathering together. Together, it does give people a vaguely ominous feeling.

Especially when it comes to gray-skinned rats, Chen Mu has seen them with his own eyes, and he understands the dangers of rats. In his previous life, they were the source of countless plagues.

If the Black Crow Cult wants to use this gray-skinned mouse for something, it must be a very bad incident.

The investigation into Zhang Youying's disappearance unexpectedly involved something like this, which made Chen Mu become more serious than ever before. After a brief reflection, he immediately handed over to Yin Hong and said, "I will report all the circumstances to the police officer." , I'll take my leave first.”

Yin Hong also raised his hand and said with a smile: "Then I'll listen to the good news. I'd also like to inform Min Chai. If there is any action from the City Guards, I must follow it here."
