Chapter 116: Subordinates
Shen Long was walking on the streets of New York. When he passed a newsstand, he picked up a copy of "Daily News" and flipped through it. On the third page, he saw a photo of two young people lying on the street. It was a terrible beating, almost unrecognizable, but they deserved it, and these two guys were the ones who beat the daughter of the undertaker Bona Serra.
The godfather has already given an answer that satisfies Bonasera, and the implementer is Pauli Gato. He has done a good job and completed the task assigned by the godfather without compromise. He is a gangster talent, but unfortunately he is a little greedy. Somehow, besides working for the Corleone family, he also does some private work outside to earn some extra money. Maybe Sollozzo chose to bribe him after finding out these things.
Next to this news, there is a short message of the court judgment. A policeman named Albert Neri killed a black man who overdosed and tried to attack the policeman with a knife during his duty. This unlucky guy was sentenced to several years in prison.
Ah, I know this guy. Shen Long immediately thought of this guy. This guy is Luca Brasi, who is subordinate to Mike, the second-generation godfather of the Corleone family. In the latter two sequels, he successively killed Fredo and the bishop of the Vatican.
He is an extremely capable and loyal player who has served as Mike's bodyguard and the new executor of the Corleone family for a long time; Shen Long originally wanted to see another guy, but unexpectedly, he had an unexpected harvest.
I bought this newspaper and rolled it into a tube, patted my palm gently, and slowly turned a corner, and came to the clothing center, where there is a small black market hidden, which is used to trade some things that do not comply with the law, or It's some contraband, or something stolen by some thieves. Of course, this is also the territory of the Corleone family.
According to Fredo's memory, he quickly found the family's stronghold. He casually greeted the younger brother of the family, and set his sights on a young man with a slight limp. This guy was dealing with daily affairs, and he could be seen The job was done very well, and he adopted different strategies for different visitors, either sternly scolding or whispering comfort, and every visitor left with gratitude.
"Hi, Fredo, why do you have time to come to my place today?" After finishing the matter, the young man came over to greet Shen Long.
"Rocco, I'm here to look for you, let's go, let's find a place to have a drink." This person is called Rocco Rabon, who is a subordinate of Clemanza. He will become the commander of the Corleone family's army in the future. Paulie Gatto, who died and betrayed the Corleone family, was the one who shot in the movie while Clemanza got out of the car to pee. At the end of the movie, he used a submachine gun to kill the godfather of the Tataglia family and his The mistress was killed on the bed.
It's not time to drink after work. There are not many people in the bar, which is suitable for conversation. Shen Long didn't talk too much nonsense, and said straight to the point, "The godfather recently entrusted me with an important job. I need some helpers. Listen to Ke Lemansha said that you are doing very well, so I want to ask, are you willing to do it with me? If so, I will talk to Lemansha. "
If it was in the past, Rocco Labone might have hesitated, because Fredo didn't perform very well before, but recently he heard that Fredo has completed the task very well in Hollywood, and it is an important task assigned by the godfather , so he agreed without hesitation, "If Clemansha doesn't object, I will."
His current status in the family is not high, and he is still under Pauli Cato. He is just a small leader of the black market. Now that he has the opportunity to follow the core members of the family, he will naturally not hesitate too much, even if Fredo is not as good as himself If you are so competitive as you imagined, you can also show your face in front of the godfather, right?
"I'll take you to meet him, now, let's have a toast!" Shen Long raised his glass and drank it down with Rocco Labone.
Rocco's matter was resolved smoothly. Shen Long called the godfather and asked for the godfather's consent.
Then he took Rocco to find Clemansha. Now Rocco is just a small boss under Clemansha. down.
After solving Rocco's problem, Shen Long went to the Jaianco Olive Oil Company to find Willy Chicchi. The man who was shot dead by the godfather stuck in the revolving door; in the second part, he became the subordinate of Pan Tangli, who succeeded Clemensa in charge of the New York power of the Corleone family, and accused Mike in court, but at this time he had changed Boss, it cannot be said that he is not loyal enough.
At this time, Weili-Qiqi's status within the family was lower than that of Rocco Rabon, and Shen Long easily accepted him as his subordinate.
The third person is Albert Neri, whom he just saw in the newspaper. Shen Long didn't take the initiative to find him. After waiting at home for two days, his father-in-law, a traditional Italian, found Corleone's house. , asking the Corleone family to help intercede.
Shen Long came forward to receive him, readily agreed, and then found Tom Hagen, who is very good at doing this kind of thing, quickly found Albert Neri's file, found a breakthrough point, and then passed Corleone The family's ties to the police and judicial system got him probation and got Albert Neri out.
After Albert Neri returned home, he divorced his wife in a reasonable manner, and then came to Long Beach to visit Shen Long. Shen Long received him warmly, "This matter is not your fault at all, the New York police are a bunch of trash , People who can really do things are thrown into prison, and I will never allow them to treat our Sicilian compatriots like this."
Albert Neri is a person who knows how to be grateful, and soon he started a heart-to-heart chat with Shen Long, talking about his family and his past experiences.
Then Shen Long took him to see the old godfather and left him to eat authentic Sicilian food at home. The old godfather acted like a generous elder, asked Alberto about his future plans with concern, and said that Corleone The family will help him clear his case. If he is willing to do things for the Corleone family, he is very welcome. If he is not willing, he can also provide financial support to help him start a business.
After thinking about it for three days, Albert found Shen Long and expressed his willingness to work for him. Shen Long did not immediately arrange for him to work, but asked him to go on vacation with Rocco Rabone and Willie Chichi and bear all the expenses.
When returning from seeing him off, Shen Long was stopped by someone who showed his ID, which was the FBI.
