The heavens begin with the king of gotham

Chapter 12 Penguin: This method is similar to mine

The fight between Falcone and Maroney soon began, and the first to suffer were the city councilors.

Maroney took the lead and killed the congressmen who supported Falcone.

Falcone's revenge followed, killing the Maronite MP the next day.

Congressmen who were so arrogant in other cities are now like chickens waiting to be slaughtered in Gotham.

This kind of difficult murder case with a large background was naturally handed over to the Gordon duo.

As the investigation continued to deepen, the two Gordons discovered something ridiculous.

The killers hired to kill members of both parties were actually the same person.

The killer worked for both Maroney and Falcone.

Such crazy things can only happen in Gotham.

Li Ming didn't reveal anything to Falcone about the Maroni family's involvement in Arkham.

He had discussed it with Falcone when they met that day, and Falcone openly confronted Maroney.

Li Ming sent Penguin to work as an undercover agent into the Maroni gang.

One is light and the other is dark, the division of labor is clear, and there is no interference with each other.

Penguin did a very good job. After he became a dishwasher at the Bamont restaurant, he quickly left a good impression on Sal Maroney by relying on his good sense of words and his mother being Italian.

But just a good impression is not enough. Li Ming also needs Penguin to break into the Maroni family.

As sunset approached, it was time for the Maroney family to settle accounts in the restaurant. Penguin was absentmindedly washing dishes when suddenly there was a commotion outside.

chug.

Da da da.

Three masked robbers rushed in and shot at the restaurant staff, but ignored the guests.

Their purpose was very clear, and they went straight to the location where the Maroney family kept their cash.

By the time the Maroni family received the news and arrived, the robbers had already left.

Frankie, the second-in-command of the Maroney family, carefully inspected the inside and outside of the restaurant. All the staff were dead, but he found a series of bloody footprints and followed the footprints to a freezer.

Frankie raised his gun and opened the freezer door. He saw Penguin in a kitchen uniform, holding a bag of cash and shivering inside.

"Thank God you're here."

"They... they have guns..."

Penguin was talking incoherently and looked frightened.

"Who did it?" Frankie interrupted his vague narrative.

"They are all wearing masks, I can't see their faces clearly." Penguin replied, shaking his head.

"But you kept the money." Frankie's tone softened.

"Yes, I managed to hide this bag of money, but the others were taken away." Penguin still blamed himself, "I'm sorry..."

"Don't be nervous." Seeing that he had made a meritorious service, Frankie's attitude became much better, "Save this for the boss."

After leaving Wayne Manor, Li Ming went directly to the Bamont restaurant where Penguin worked.

He received a tip from Penguin that the Italian restaurant was robbed yesterday and he made a contribution by saving a bag of money. Sal Maroney will definitely reward him when he comes this morning.

In the Maroney family's sphere of influence, Li Ming was of course not allowed to show up in public. He disguised himself and sat down in a cafe across the street, paying attention to what was going on in the Bamonte restaurant.

By the way, the coffee in this roadside shop is much better than the black tea in Wayne Manor.

At this time, Maroni was furious in the restaurant. The group of robbers came and went like the wind, leaving no useful clues.

But in Gotham, they knew that this restaurant was where the Maroney family put their money, and yet they dared to come and rob it.

Maroney couldn't think of anyone else but Falcone.

"Falcone thought he could cause trouble on my territory and be safe, but he was wrong!" Maroni vented his anger on the second boss.

"I'm going to fight back and hit their weak spot, and I'll do it today!"

"Okay, I'll take care of it." Frankie agreed, then looked back at the Penguin who was washing the dishes, "And that kid."

"Call him over." After being summoned, the Penguin quickly put down the plate in his hand, sorted it out for a while, and then walked to Maroni.

"You know I will never be stingy when it comes to expressing gratitude." Maroni stared at the Penguin and said firmly.

"Yes, Mr. Maroni."

"I will remember everything you did yesterday."

Penguin quickly expressed his loyalty: "Thank you, I just hope I can get the rest back..."

"Get it."

Maroni interrupted. He always didn't like nonsense.

He looked Penguin over: "How long have you been washing dishes?"

"Not long."

Maroni waved his hand: "You don't have to wash it anymore. You have been promoted and become a restaurant manager."

He glanced at the table that hadn't been cleaned yet. It was stained with the blood of the former restaurant manager.

"The position just became available."

After the Penguin was flattered and thanked him, Maroni ordered Frankie to reward the Penguin with a sum of money and buy a decent formal suit.

Maroney then turned around and left the restaurant, now looking to trouble Falcone.

"Congratulations, Oswald, you have successfully reached a new level."

Li Ming waited in the cafe for a long time, and he was not idle during this time. He kept conceiving and perfecting his plan, and did not stop until the Penguin came over.

"Thank you, Your Excellency Li Ming, I am just the executor, the most important thing is you." Penguin's face was full of sincerity, "Everything is going according to your plan."

Now the Penguin has put on a custom-made suit, and his whole person has changed. However, his respect for Li Ming has not changed at all, but he is more in awe.

"Have those robbers been taken care of?"

"Yes, Your Excellency, they really like the cake I brought."

Li Ming smiled knowingly. Of course, Falcone didn't send someone to rob Maroni's restaurant.

Falcone just wanted to stabilize the situation, and it was not a big deal for him and Maroni to assassinate each other's congressmen, and he did not directly kill anyone in the Maroni family.

It's like a proxy war.

Dead MPs: “Isn’t there anyone who speaks for us?”

But it is impossible for Falcone to do door-to-door robbery, something that would intensify conflicts.

All of this was proposed by Li Ming, and Penguin was responsible for implementing it.

Falcone and Maroni had to have a real fight with each other.

Penguin felt that Li Ming's plan was great from the beginning, and it was tailor-made for him.

Li Ming was secretly happy about this, because these were originally things the Penguin himself did in order to gain power.

Li Ming just told Penguin's own success story in advance as his plan.

This is the benefit of knowing the plot.

But Oswald only felt that it was great to meet Li Ming. Li Ming respected him and recognized his talents, and his key actions were very consistent with him.

He also grew up in Gotham, and Li Ming was the first person he wanted to follow sincerely.

"I'll put the rest of the money in..."

Penguin naturally planned to hand over the money he stole from the restaurant, but Li Ming raised his hand to interrupt him.

"You can keep it, it costs a lot to build a good relationship with your colleagues."

Just kidding, Li Ming is almost half of the Wayne family now. If he is short of money, he only needs to ask Bruce, and he will definitely not be rejected.

"Did you get what I asked for?"

Penguin quickly took out a note:
  "Yes, that's Agent Gordon's contact information."
