"I thought these guys would be more loyal and disciplined."
Looking at Evans who was "presiding over the overall situation" and taking over as "acting gang leader", Vishniak sighed with emotion.
Probably in his opinion, there should be at least a few of the two factions of the Hammer Gang who are loyal to the boss, right? They might stab him, or they might clamor to continue fighting.
But what he didn't expect was that this group of people were more honest than quails. No one raised objections to Agent Evans, and no one expressed sadness over the death of the two bosses. Instead, everyone was satisfied that the matter was over.
Even the so-called coercive measures taken by Evans to stabilize the situation are welcomed. The reason is simple, because Evans said to let bygones be bygones, and then everything will continue as usual.
In other words, no matter what they did in the past, they will not be held accountable, and all the previous welfare benefits will be retained. Since the family has nothing to lose, why should they object?
Vishniak complained about this: "Everyone is too philistine!"
However, Li Xiao just shrugged and commented nonchalantly: "It's normal. Human nature is evil. As long as your own family is doing well, who cares if others make trouble for you? Especially in their line of work, living too loyally will be very tiring.
not long!"
Vishniak still shook his head. Anyway, the performance of the Hammer Gang made him despise him very much, making him despise the so-called charlatans.
"It has nothing to do with us," Li Xiao said calmly, "Next, take control of Gabriel's treasury and get rid of some of the guys who try to fish in troubled waters or don't obey orders, and the Hammer Gang will basically be done with it."
"Then we can go to Bucharest?" Vishnyak asked eagerly.
Yes, Vishnyak was tired of his work over the past month. The daily life of the gangsters was really disgusting. He was tired of dealing with these scum and just wanted to finish the task and return to Odessa.
, hurry up and become a real soldier again. Compared with these scum, the veterans of the 748th Regiment all look so cute.
"It's not that simple," Li Xiao sighed, "We have to help Evans stabilize the situation first, and then reopen the relationship with Wallachia before we can go in."
Vishniak's joy suddenly disappeared without a trace, and he sighed: "When will this day end!"
Li Xiao was not as disgusted with this trip as Vishnyak was. On the contrary, he felt that his life was quite comfortable. There was no one like Nicholas I and his family, and he did not have to suffer in the military camp. He could do whatever he wanted.
What, this day is very comfortable!
He wanted to find a way to change to the third department, but it seemed that he was more suitable for this kind of underground work.
Of course, this is definitely impossible. However, the experience during this period gave him some unusual thoughts. These thoughts were unstoppable as soon as they emerged, causing him to involuntarily revise the original plan and transform the Hammer Gang into a new one.
It is more important, and the control over it is stronger. This shell may be of great use in the future!
"It's time for us to pay!"
Just when Li Xiao was in his wildest thoughts, the bald man's loud voice woke him up.
"When will the things you promised be fulfilled?"
Li Xiao replied nonchalantly: "Immediately, you go directly to Evans. This transaction is between you and I will not be involved."
The bald man was slightly dissatisfied and said: "Then he'd better not be a swindler, otherwise, we will charge this debt to you!"
After saying that, the bald man turned around and was about to leave, but Li Xiao stopped him: "Bald man, are you interested in making another deal?"
The bald man immediately shook his head and refused: "Master said, you are too cunning and insidious. I have to be very careful when talking to you. If you are not careful, you will fall into the ditch. If you have any evil ideas, go to the master directly.
Or talk to Sally, don’t talk to me!”
Tsk!
Li Xiao was a little regretful. The old fox in Black Crow never let go of the rabbit before he saw it. As for Sally, she was a smooth and slippery woman. It was too tiring to discuss business with them. He preferred a bald guy with a bit of a tiger. This guy is better.
deal with.
It's just that this guy was paid special attention to by Black Crow and wouldn't pay attention to him at all. It's really a pity. After thinking about it, Li Xiao said to his back: "Then help me make an appointment. This deal I have is not small!"
The bald man didn't dare to look back and just responded in a dull voice. He was actually frightened by Li Xiao. Before today, who would have thought that Torel and Gabriel, who were so prominent in Constanta, would be killed like this.
It was worthless, not much better than a dead dog. Almost all their men, horses, and property were taken away by Hepan, and the person who did all this didn't even lose a hair.
Such an insidious and cunning person is too dangerous. He has only been here for a few months and has turned the Hammers upside down. If he had been allowed to stay longer, the whole of Constanta would have changed, right?
So when he heard that there was a big deal, the bald man couldn't help but tremble: "Who are you targeting again!"
The bald man's guess was not wrong. Li Xiao did have the idea of making a big move. He was no longer satisfied with using the Hammer Gang to enter Bucharest. He could do more things. If he could manage it well, he would be quite good in Constanta.
Yu had a den.
A lot of things can be done through the Hammer Gang's business, especially after the Crimean War breaks out in the future, Constanta hidden behind enemy lines will be extremely important.
Li Xiao thought very far and began to gradually do some arrangement work, but these were just idle chess for the time being, and the effect would not be seen for a while. The most important task for him was to rush to Bucharest and Kornilov
I had written to inquire several times. Although he did not urge me, Li Xiao knew that the superiors must have put great pressure on him.
Calculating the time, it was almost April, and the Russian army would be approaching the city in at most two or three months, so he really had to move quickly.
"Old Pierre is very cooperative. He said that the contact with Wallachia can be restored in as soon as a week." Evans, who became the acting gang leader, was a little high-spirited, but he was still very cautious when facing Li Xiao. "The main thing is
It's the Turks who need to reorganize their business. These hyenas are becoming more and more greedy. They use the excuse that the authorities want to strictly crack down on border smuggling and illegal border crossing. This is just another form of extortion!"
Li Xiao nodded and said indifferently: "Anything that can be solved with money is not a problem. By the way, have Gabriel and Torel taken out their treasury?"
Evans hurriedly said: "Take it out. Although a few guys are dishonest, just fix it and scare the monkeys!"
"That's good!" Li Xiao said with a smile: "Get the matter done as soon as possible. The country is very anxious. I must enter Bucharest as soon as possible!"
