But the deep sea church seems a little different.
Its followers are mostly blacks of Latino descent. Unlike the Red Lantern Festival, which requires terror and lies to maintain deterrence, the doctrine and image of the Deep Sea Church are relatively mild, have a very broad believer base, and have launched several large-scale demonstrations.
Of course, in the eyes of the San Francisco Police Department, all pagans are without exception, synonymous with conflict and trouble.
At this time, an aunt in red came to the door and said respectfully, "Sir, Liang Hui is here."
"Call him in."
Since Li Yan took over the "Great Jug", he almost abandoned all the sacrificial devices and etiquette of the Red Lantern Festival. Usually, Zhen Lian and a group of fairy aunts also called "Mr." a very common name in this era.
As for privately, Zhen Lian played a far-fetched affair in "The Secret of the Taiyin," and added some of his own emotional expressions, calling Li Yan the "Emperor in Blue", which is a true who brings world rotation, and so on Another thing.
"In addition ..." Xiangu Auntie left without anxiety: "The gentleman named Chang Yu went to a brothel in Duban Street last night. The old lady there was a believer in the Red Lantern Festival. According to her, Chang Yu There was a good friend named Swallow at her. "
"I see, you go."
Li Yan said.
Liang Hui wore a robe, followed respectfully behind a fairy aunt, and looked around step by step. After about half a minute, he entered the church and saw Li Yan sitting on a bench and Zhen Li, a servant.
"Hello Mr. Liang, do you still want my present?"
When Liang Hui saw Li Yan, he knelt to the ground without saying a word: "Thunder and rain dew, there is no grace."
This is a vocabulary learned by Liang Hui after he asked the master of the paper fan in Heshengli, and Li Yan listened to it.
"I said I wasn't interested in being your emperor, I just want the share I deserve ..." After a pause, Li Yan asked, "Who are those batches of opium?"
He Sheng controls more than half of the opium supply in San Francisco, and Liang Hui has no reason to not know the origin of these people who trade on the beach.
Liang Hui licked his lips before he said, "The people of Hesheng have always taken the semi-finished products from the owner of the Southern Manor and reprocessed them by themselves. Your present is not related to Hesheng."
Liang Hui has his unique art of survival. He must first clean it up. Of course, Hesheng sells tobacco, but he has nothing to do with the deep sea church. He had no reservations about the Red Lantern Fair, or his loyalty to the "Emperor in Blue."
Li Yan also understood Liang Hui's thoughts, he went straight to the point:
"So, who is the owner of this shipment?"
"The Ordunk Brotherhood, many of them are believers in the Church of the Deep Sea. Before I came to meet His Majesty, there was a little conflict between the Ordunk people."
Li Yan heard a laugh and said, "It seems my enthusiasm has troubled you, Mr. Liang."
Liang Hui hastily denied: "Actually, our business conflict with the Ordunk Brothers was not a small one. Your Majesty is helping me."
"Really?"
"of course."
Zhen Lian aside bowed her head and said nothing.
"But I still feel a little uneasy."
After a long while, Li Yan stared at Liang Hui and asked abruptly: "If the two sides go to war, who do you think will win the Brotherhood of Hesheng and Ordunk?"
Liang Hui replied without hesitation: "Victory will eventually belong to you, the great emperor in blue."
"..."
Li Yan listened and beckoned. Liang Hui was puzzled, got up and patted the dust on his knees, and hurried forward.
"I'm not a mean customer. If I want to support others, I must first guarantee that he has enough capital to complete my entrustment."
Li Yanchao Liang Hui stuffed a handful of things: "You have experienced their magic, come out to say. This should be very simple for you, I don't care about the process, what I want is the result."
Liang Hui glanced at the palm of his hand and thought a little before he realized it.
"Also ..."
Li Yan thought for a while: "Tonight, I will call a friend to you. If you have met in a teahouse last time, if there are any other difficulties, he will help you."
Then, Li Yan stretched out two fingers: "I'll give you two days."
Liang Hui nodded heavily.
"Busy you, Mr. Liang, I guess you are having trouble to deal with now, Zhen Lian, send me Mr. Liang for me."
Squeeze ~
The door was dead, Zhen Lian and Liang Hui walked in the corridor one after the other. When approaching the door, Liang Hui still said nothing, but Zhen Lian was a little bit angry: "You really want to start a fire and ? "
Liang Hui gave a strange look at Zhen Lian: "This is what Her Majesty meant."
"Yes, of course." Zhen Lian said dryly: "But you should understand that once you and Ordunk's people have a large-scale conflict, the city hall will not let it go! Have you ever thought about it? If the police station starts a large-scale steam Guards down the mountain, you, me, the Ordunk Brotherhood, and any of a deep-sea church, maybe it's all over! "
"The great emperor in blue will not let it go!"
Liang Huizhenzhen has a word, and the level of enthusiasm for Li Yan seems to be still above Zhen Lian.
"Mr. Liang Hui! Don't forget, now it is the world of the black robe emperor! Machinery and steam will all the magic of the gods! The triathlon called Great Jug also has to rely on the container of flesh to survive in this world. His Majesty is today ... "
Zhen Lian said that half of her mouth was abrupt, which was a dead point that the preacher should not mention. But she couldn't just watch, Liang Hui, who was dazzled by young vitality, dragged everyone into despair!
Liang Hui wasn't indifferent: "Xian Gu, you can rest assured. I can assure you that the City Hall will not care, and the police station will not swell on it."
Zhen Lian opened her mouth and did not know what to say, but Liang Hui spread her palms, and there were a few pink pills lying quietly, giving off an attractive color.
[Witch's Enchanting Medicine]: Consume twelve hours of life, in exchange for one year of stagnation.
This thing was started by Li Yan when "Yandu escaped". To him, it was no different than waste. Keep pressing the bottom of the box, I didn't expect it to come in handy today.
The San Francisco Stock Exchange has been established for fifty years. The exterior walls are made of majestic Corinthian columns, very stylish. There are two gentlemen wearing top hats standing at the door, talking to each other in a low voice, and a railcar Everyone was up and down, a row of lively scenes.
The exchange is divided into two layers, similar to a flower basket-like structure, beautifully decorated, and the oil lamps are not turned off day and night. Many traders wearing red vests hold their small books with their throats. Paper is everywhere, and speculators are red. Face bidding, you can't see a bit of decent society.
But no one knows that this magnificent stock exchange is also known as the "Mad Stock Exchange".
The original owner of the stock exchange, named Chamos, was one of the first gold miners to make their way to San Francisco and was a determined anti-steamist.
He pioneered the establishment of the Soot Elimination Association in San Francisco, united scholars and romantic writers, popularized the concept of ecology, called for environmental protection, and used his influence in the political and business circles to pressure Congress and propose to close the arsenal , Abandoned the laying of ocean tracks, stopped pumping groundwater and other surging resolutions. There are many supporters, among them Henry Thoreau, John Muir and others.
For a time, Chamos was considered a conscientious businessman and a great financier.
But in the end, his arms couldn't twist his thighs, and the ocean track was laid in San Francisco.
On the night of the railway engineering bidding by the authorities, Chamos held arms and tried to assassinate the bidders at the bidding site, and was subsequently subdued by the police. Insane Chamos cried and laughed, agitated.
It is worth mentioning that the company that contributed to the laying of the ocean railway and the successful bidding.
It was Enfield, which was so blazing at the time!
In the subsequent trials, Chamos claimed that steam civilization was the biggest lie of this era. People deforested, mined steel, and arrogantly tried to conquer nature. But in any case, his behavior has also violated the law, especially afterwards, the police found many books on mysticism in Chamos's home, and even some spell books on sacrifices. Many of Chamos's words are derived from some of the extreme sects recorded in these books, and they are by no means so-called scholars and thinkers, which has caused his reputation to plummet.
Since then, the lunatics have spread wildly.
Chamos's property and gold mines were seized, and the man was forcibly transferred to a mental hospital. Two months later, he committed suicide inexplicably in the ward.
At that time, there were many conspiracy theories, and the spearheaded pointed at Enfield, but there was no evidence, and in the end, they were left behind.
The stock exchange, bought by his partner, re-listed a year later, trying to wash away the haze.
These were all explored by Li Yan from the Red Lantern Festival. At this moment, he was sitting in a cafe, across the road from the stock exchange, but according to the law, the Chinese were not allowed to enter the exchange, and Li Yan did not resort to violence, there was no need.
He spent a lot of money and invited an old trader who had worked in the exchange for 40 years to come out. This person is the only one who has the most fruits today and once worked for Chamos.
"Mr. China, I have no intention of offending, but whatever you want to know, I think we should hurry up."
This old man with a dark complexion looks in his sixties and has exhaustion on his face. His name is Carl, and he's an old gambler, but it's not uncommon in San Francisco.
"I opened my door and I want to know about the life of the former owner of this exchange, Chamos. If there are any relics, it would be better. If you have any clues, I am willing to pay for this. "
Li Yan took out a golden bean and flickered in front of the old man's eyes.
He blinked and said hesitantly, "Sir, I'm afraid I can't help you."
"How to say?"
"In the beginning, Enfield paid a large amount of sealing fees to all employees, so we didn't ask us to talk to anyone."
"In the beginning? I think you've spent almost as much on his sealing fee?"
Li Yan raised an eyebrow.
Carl hesitated for a long time before shrugging his shoulders: "Okay, but you have to pay me the gold first."
As soon as his words fell, Golden Beans had drawn a beautiful curve and fell into his pocket.
"Very good," Carl smiled with satisfaction, followed him silently, and stood up and left.
Before he spread his legs to run, Li Yan had grasped his shoulder from behind.
"I said, I advise you to think about it."
Carl yelled like a ghost and suddenly struggled desperately: "Guard! Guard, this yellow-skinned monkey is going to kill me!"
A sharp whistle sounded suddenly, and a patrolman wearing a soldier's armor rushed aggressively, and the heavy armour fell on Li Yan's head!
"Fairy, this is not like your usual style. The Ordunk Brotherhood has already given in. Gold, goods, we can find a few onions to replace and hand them over. This time the storm will understand."
A man in his thirties with muscular short hair stood behind Liang Hui.
"The goods are in our hands, what about the gold?" Liang Hui fastened his collar to the mirror and stared at the man in the mirror: "Who do you ask me to ask?"
The man was silent for a long time.
"Do you think we have a choice? That group of died a dozen people, so cheap for us? It's all right to return the goods and gold? In this case, you also believe that you just drowned in the toilet and drowned. You're ashamed. "
The man clenched his hands and his fists rattled.
"He Sheng is my head, and I ca n’t tell you about three or four. When one day I die, I ca n’t control you if you take He Sheng apart and sell it."
"I thought it was close to me ..."
The man said something for no reason.
Liang Hui raised an eyebrow and turned suddenly. The man yanked out a dagger and poked at Liang Hui's chest!
Ga! Ga!
The bird-cage parrot flutters wildly and its feathers fly.
Cha Xiaodao looked up, saw the red roof tile house, knew that he had come to the right place, and then stepped forward: "I'm looking for Liang Hui."
The two stared at each other and hesitated for a long time before saying, "Our father, is doing some housework. Otherwise, you will wait while you sit in?"
Cha Dao sniffed the smell and grinned, "Okay."
He was about to go in, and he heard a hearty laughter.
"Presumably Mr. Zha has arrived, some have lost their way, some have lost their way!"
Liang Hui greeted with a smile, with a little smell on his body.
"How do you know me?" As soon as Cha Xiaodao finished speaking, he suddenly realized: "Oh, yes, we've met."
"More than that, sir, your temperament stands out."
Liang Hui did not dare to neglect.
"Fart?"
Cha Xiaodao said with a smile.
Liang Hui shook his head: "From the lungs."
He converged and smiled, glanced backwards, and waved his hand. The strong thug removed a dozen corpses from upstairs and took them away from the door. The ticking blood spilled out, and immediately a maid with braids Wipe the floor.
"This, what's going on?"
Cha Dao pointed at the corpses that had been moved out.
Liang Hui shook his head: "Unfortunately, let alone mention it. Mr. Zha, please go upstairs."
