Chapter 20 Ningcheng Wang
After all the clansmen gathered, Fang Zhen came to Gu Shen's side, looked respectful, and said, "Lord Gu, my family, old and young, are all here. ”
Gu Shen didn't answer, he stood there, and when he looked around, everyone in the Fang family, together with his subordinates, was standing not far away, and many of them saw Gu Shen's gaze sweeping, and subconsciously shrank their necks.
Obviously, the previous confrontation made the Fang family see Gu Shen's strength, and in the face of such Gu Shen, they naturally had fear in their hearts.
In the crowd, Fang Tangjin was also there, one of his cheeks was still swollen very high, but he had done some simple treatment, at this moment he was no longer arrogant before, he didn't dare to look directly at Gu Shen at all, he stood there with his head shrunk and didn't say a word.
Wu Qian stood aside, watching this scene, a little confused in his heart, not knowing what Gu Shen was going to do when he summoned everyone in the Fang family.
But he believes that Gu Shen naturally has a reason to do this.
Gu Shen stood in place, the reason why he summoned everyone in the Fang family to stand in front of him was to find out if there were still demons lurking in the Fang family.
Fang Yong's words before he died, Gu Shen really cared a little about it.
Even the magistrate of Ningcheng was unknowingly possessed by demons and ghosts, and as the Fang family who had the most contact with Fang Yong, there may not be no one else like Fang Yong.
At this moment, Gu Shen has reached the Tongmai realm, both his cultivation and his physique have been greatly improved, which makes his already keen five senses even more acute, even if the demon and ghost possess the human being, the mixture of breath will become difficult to distinguish, but Gu Shen is confident that if it is face-to-face, if it is close contact, he can still identify it.
In this way, a quarter of an hour passed, Gu Shen didn't speak, then no one dared to speak, the audience was a little quiet and terrifying, and gradually began to become a little depressed, and the more Gu Shen was like this, the more nervous everyone in the Fang family became.
"Let's disperse," Gu Shen said.
"Huh?"
Hearing this, Fang Zhen looked stunned, he still didn't react, and he was very confused by Gu Shen's operation.
Asked everyone in their Fang family to come out and shake around, Gu Shen walked around casually, and then it was over?
What does that mean?
However, seeing that Gu Shen didn't mean to explain, Fang Zhen didn't dare to ask.
After confirming that there were no demons lurking in the Fang family, Gu Shen greeted Wu Qian and prepared to leave.
At this time, Fang Zhen hesitated for a moment, and suddenly stopped Gu Shen with a loud voice.
"Lord Gu, please wait a moment."
When Gu Shen heard this, he turned his head, looked at Fang Zhen, and said, "What's the matter?" ”
Fang Zhen gritted his teeth, hesitated for a while, and asked, "Master Gu, I want to know, is my eldest brother really possessed by demons?" ”
Regarding Fang Yong's death, everyone in their Fang family was very puzzled, eager to know the answer, and wanted an explanation.
"This official is the patrol envoy of the Jingtian Division of the Heavenly Capital, what does the Jingtian Division do, I think you should also know that if Fang Yong is not possessed by demons, what good will it do to the official if he kills him?"
After Gu Shen put down this sentence, he took Wu Qian and left the Fang family directly.
In fact, with his status and strength, even if he didn't answer Fang Zhen and didn't give the Fang family an explanation, there was nothing the Fang family could do.
When Fang Zhen heard this, he stood silently in place and did not speak.
On the other side, soon, Gu Shen took Wu Qian back to the county office and came to the inner hall.
Gu Shen sat on the top, muttered a little, and said to Wu Gan below: "Wu Zhutou, you immediately use my name to gather all the clans in Ningcheng, and I have something important to say about the county government after an hour." ”
"Yes!" Wu Qian responded.
In this way, Gu Shen sat in the inner hall of the county ya, closed his eyes and breathed, waited quietly, and soon, an hour passed.
"Master Gu, the people of the Fang family have arrived."
Gu Shen opened his eyes and saw Wu Qian leading Fang Zhen in, Fang Zhen saw Gu Shen, arched his hand, and said, "Master Gu, let's meet again." ”
Gu Shen nodded and did not speak.
Fang Zhen didn't care, he found a random place to sit down.
It didn't take long for Wu Gan to lead a second person in.
"Master Gu, Master Zhou has arrived."
At the door, there was an old man with a white beard and a strong spirit who followed Wu Qian into the inner hall.
"I've seen Master Gu, old and decrepit Zhou Rang." The old man said with a smile.
"Master Zhou." Gu Shen stood up and returned the salute with a smile.
This Master Zhou is not simple, he was the county guard of Qingyang County before, and he governed and managed a county, such as Ningcheng, I don't know how many Qingyang Counties, Ningcheng is inconspicuous in Qingyang County.
It stands to reason that after Zhou Rang retired from the seat of the county guard, there was a better place to go, I don't know how many people retained, but Ningcheng is the former residence of the Zhou family, the ancestral house is here, Zhou Rang took his relatives back to Ningcheng on the grounds that people miss the old and miss the old, after retiring from the position of the county guard.
Not only that, when Zhou Rang was in power, he was honest and honest, and he was good at promoting his juniors, and Qingyang County didn't know how many officials were discovered and promoted by this old man Zhou, such as Fang Yong, the magistrate of Ningcheng, who had received a lot of favors from Zhou Rang when he was young.
Even, even the current county guard of Qingyang County is said to have been brought up by Zhou Rang, and the county guard will come to Ningcheng to visit him once a year.
It can be said that this old man Zhou is the real big man in Ningcheng, even if he has not reigned for many years, he still has a deep influence in Qingyang County, and the Zhou family also has a pivotal position in Ningcheng, but this old man Zhou is indifferent to fame and fortune and rarely participates in anything, so the Zhou family's presence in Ningcheng is not as strong as that of other major families.
But even so, as long as Zhou Rang lives for one day, no one dares to despise the Zhou family.
"I've seen Old Zhou."
Seeing that Zhou Rangdu was coming, Fang Zhen also hurriedly stood up and bowed.
Old Man Zhou smiled, very kind, he nodded, motioned for Fang Zhen to sit down, and then, he himself found a place to sit down.
There are a total of seven families in Ningcheng, these seven families control the economic lifeline of Ningcheng, covering many fields and a large population.
In the entire Ningcheng, only the county government subordinate to the official forces of the Great Xia Dynasty could suppress them.
And what Gu Shen has to do this time is to need the help of these seven major families.
With the passage of time, the heads of the remaining families also came to the county office, but only the people of the Sun family have not yet arrived.
"Wu Zhutou, have the people of the Sun family been notified?" Gu Shen looked at Wu Gan.
Wu Gan looked embarrassed, he nodded, and said, "I was informed, and I also said that I would come, but ......"
Gu Shen waved his hand, signaling that it didn't matter, whether he came or not, he was not ready to continue to wait, so he stood up and said, "Fellow family masters, Gu Shen is here, from the Tiandu Jing Tiansi, I came to you today, there is one thing that needs your help." ”
"Master Gu, please speak."
"Master Gu, but it's okay to say it."
Seeing that they were all cooperative, Gu Shen bowed his head slightly, and said: "Yesterday, I found two demons in Ningcheng one after another, one is the Oiran of Yixianglou, and the other is the magistrate of our Ningcheng, Fang Yong, both of them were possessed by demons, and they were discovered by me yesterday and killed on the spot. ”
Zhou made them nod their heads, Ning Cheng was not much old, not to mention that these people had their own news channels, and they all knew about it not long after it happened.
In fact, any wind and grass in Ning City, these people are definitely the first to know.
Seeing this, Gu Shen continued: "Last night, before he died, Fang Zhixian told me that there were still demons and ghosts lurking in Ningcheng......
Before Gu Shen finished speaking, a loud laugh suddenly came from outside the door, interrupting everything he wanted to say next.
