Chapter 17: Peeling Back the Dots

Listening to Gu Qian's words, Yu Sanli was stunned.

"Your Excellency, are you saying that he is deliberately stirring up trouble against us?"

"It's possible. Gu Qian nodded and said, "In your impression, what kind of person is Duan Guangrong?"

"Bold and righteous, uninhibited. ”

"Anything else?"

Yu Sanli thought about it carefully and said: "I rarely saw him before, he was always dealing with Duan Chenghu, the second master of Beixiang, who was not good at stubble, and often tricked us. ”

"What is the relationship between Duan Guangrong and Duan Chenghu, did he rush to save people after the accident?"

"This ......" Yu Sanli was embarrassed: "I haven't heard that they have a bad relationship, but occasionally I have heard some gossip from Nanxiang, and many people say that the big boss of Beixiang is old, and Beixiang will definitely be the second master of the world in the future." ”

"So is Duan Guangrong willing to let Xian go?" Gu Qian asked.

"I don't know about this little one. Yu Sanli smiled bitterly: "Nanxiang and Beixiang have been hostile for many years, and we are naturally happy that the two of them are not in charge, but no matter how the news spreads, Duan Guangrong has no intention of fighting for power with Duan Chenghu, and over time, no one will mention this matter." ”

"In this way, the second boss was arrested and Beixiang should have no leader, after all, the big boss doesn't care about anything. Gu Qian tapped his fingers on the table and said with a smile: "But from our observation of Beixiang, it is heavily guarded and people's hearts are not chaotic, don't you think it's strange?"

Wake up the dreamer with a word, Yu Sanli exclaimed: "Are you saying that the arrest of the second master is Duan Guangrong's trap?"

"This is just a speculation, after all, according to your previous description, Duan Guangrong couldn't have cleaned up the situation so quickly, but after we entered Beixiang, the situation we saw didn't look like we had lost control. Duan Guangrong may have relied on his prestige to quickly support the scene, but since he is so capable, why doesn't he want to save the second master?"

"So, he deliberately wants to kill the second boss?" Yu Sanli gasped, and a thought hit his mind like lightning, "Could it be that he also designed the arrest of our big boss?"

"I don't dare to say yes, but let's deduce it backwards and see, if Duan Chenghu dies, who will benefit?"

Yu Sanli said without thinking: "Naturally, it is Duan Guangrong. ”

"If the Nanxiang boss is arrested, who will benefit?"

Yu Sanli's eyes suddenly widened: "Me!"

"Why you, not Yao Er?" Gu Qian asked rhetorically.

Yu Sanli smiled bitterly and said, "Lord Gu, didn't you see it a long time ago?" After the accident of the big boss, the Nanxiang Federation was held by me inside and out, and Yao Er was in charge, and Yao Er was the ...... after a pause, and then said in a low voice: "He is a dou who can't be helped." ”

Gu Qian nodded and said, "You're not modest, then let me ask you again, what is your relationship with Yao Er's family?"

Yu Sanli was silent, and only after a while did he spit out two words: "It's okay." ”

"The answer is so reluctant, I don't need to guess your real relationship, I know, as long as someone has a heart to provoke it, you will only fall out in a moment, right?"

"No, I've always respected him. ”

"You know how to be humble, what if Yao Xiwang is provoked to deal with you?" Gu Qian didn't let him go, and continued to analyze: "How similar is your current situation to Duan Chenghu's situation, Duan Guangrong can attack Duan Chenghu, won't Yao Xiwang attack you?"

"Yao Xiwang doesn't have that ability. Yu Sanli whispered.

"He has no ability, there are many people who really have the ability!" Gu Qian sneered: "Isn't it obvious who is better to deal with you or Yao Xiwang? As long as I knock you down, what is Yao Xiwang?"

"You mean...... Yu Sanli didn't sit in the position of the third master at a young age, and after Gu Qian's analysis like a cocoon, he quickly turned a corner.

"Is it Duan Guangrong?!Is it Duan Guangrong who is behind the scenes?" Yu Sanli ran to Gu Qian and said hatefully: "Duan Guangrong has already hit our Nanxiang with his idea? What is he going to do? Get rid of me, control Yao Xiwang, and then annex Nanxiang? Where did he come from to be so bold?"

"Yes, where did he come from so boldly...... Gu Qian sighed, slowly stood up, and walked to the window.

The bright moon hung high outside the window, and the refreshing dark fragrance wafted into the nose, if it wasn't for the danger, Gu Qian really wanted to sing a song to the moon and express his feelings about wearing to ancient times. But when I think of the current situation, let alone singing, if I can get through this hurdle safely and not be pitted to death, I have to shout Amitabha.

"My lord!" Yu Sanli didn't have Gu Qian's literary mood, seeing Gu Qian walking to the window, he hurriedly followed, and asked anxiously, "What should we do now?"

Yes, they all know that they use us, it seems that Yu Sanli regards himself as his own, Gu Qian nodded with satisfaction, and said: "He has confidence, we are not bad, but you have to make up your mind." ”

"Your Excellency, please. ”

"Since the big boss and Duan Chenghu have been arrested, I'm afraid it will be difficult to come out. Gu Qian looked directly at him and said lightly: "What's more, burning the county government to attack the magistrate is the sin of rebellion, and someone must take care of this matter." ”

"You mean......" Yu Sanli's eyes were cracked, "If you want me to be this treacherous villain, the little one can't do it!"

"Then you go and save it! Take yourself, take the foundation of Nanxiang, and fulfill Duan Guangrong's conspiracy. ”

"My lord, the boss is kind to me!"

"So, you can choose to die for him. Gu Qian said coldly: "Now I don't know where the big boss is locked up, you are an unarmed young man who wants to rob the prison by himself, it's just a fool's dream!"

"But ......"

"Is it important to save the big boss now, or is it important to sabotage Duan Guangrong's conspiracy?"

Yu Sanli's face changed, and after a while, he lowered his head and said sadly: "It's me who is incompetent." ”

"If you can't break the game set up by Duan Guangrong, you are really incompetent. ”

"But when the army arrives, whether it's Duan Guangrong or us, aren't they all lambs to be slaughtered?" Yu Sanli lowered his head and said in frustration: "Since they are all dead, what kind of conspiracy does he care!"

"Bastard!" Gu Qian slapped the table and said angrily: "In vain, I still think you are a character, but I didn't expect to have such a little knowledge!

"My lord, do you have a way?" Yu Sanli's eyes lit up, and he said, "Please save the people of Nanxiang! Yu Sanli kowtowed to you!" he said, kneeling down straight.

Gu Qian snorted coldly and said sarcastically: "This official can't save you." ”

"Adult, please give the little one a clear way. ”

It wasn't until Yu Sanli knelt on the ground and begged and begged, and promised countless benefits, that Gu Qian said with a cold face: "Seeing that you are still sincere, this official will show you a way out." ”

"Master, we've arrived at Scooping Water Village. As soon as the sky dawned, the sound of clattering horses' hooves broke the tranquility of the early morning, and it was naturally Gu Qian and his party who were riding on the horses.

"Master, do you want to come down and rest?" Zhang Yong reined in his horse and asked in a loud voice.

"No, you must rush back to the county seat when the city gate opens. Gu Qian knocked the horse's belly with his feet, raised the reins in his hand, and shouted: "Drive!"

"Drive!"

"Drive!"

Seeing Gu Qian's appearance of being in a hurry, Zhang Yong and Gu Xiaojiu didn't dare to delay, clamped the horse's belly, and chased Gu Qian forward.

"Master, it is also afternoon for the army of the Inspector to arrive in Qingjiang, so you don't have to be in such a hurry. Zhang Yong said loudly against the wind.

"Shut up!" Gu Qian glared at him and continued to bury his head in the road.

It's not that he doesn't understand Zhang Yong's good intentions, it's just that this matter is far from being so simple, last night's conversation between him and Yu Sanli was half the truth, half the fool, because he had already noticed that Duan Guangrong was not as simple as it appeared in this matter, at least until now, Gu Qian had not been able to find out what Duan Guangrong was behind it.

Burning down the county government, attacking the magistrate, and offending the head of Nanxiang, Duan Guangrong did this not so much to take the opportunity to take power, but to kill himself, but why did he do this? When he needed to face the government with Nanxiang, he actually chose to slap Yu Sanli in the face in the face, could he be crazy?

Gu Qian kept thinking about it, trying to figure out the thread.

Official, Nanxiang and Beixiang.

Guanfu, Nanxiang, Beixiang. Kitago offended Nango.

So what is the rest of the combination? Gu Qian suddenly woke up, if there was a change in the combination, then the current situation had become: the government and Beixiang joined forces, and Nanxiang fought alone.

Because it was impossible for Hokugo to fight the government independently, he must have relied on it or found a new ally. But is the shadow behind this really the government? Why does he, the magistrate, have no idea about this?

The more Gu Qian thought about it, the more frightened he became, and before he knew it, they had come to Qingjiang County.

Seeing the slowly opening door, Gu Qian seemed to see a big mouth that devoured people, and was smiling at him.
