Chapter 15: The Unexpected
"Today, thanks to Daochang Xu and all the strong men, I have eliminated this great harm for my Qingyang County." In the backyard of the county government, a group of people sat around the table.
"It's all part of the business. And when it comes to today, the biggest credit is Xu Daochang, followed by Brother Gu, who blocked the cat demon alone. The crowd said one after another.
"If you and Xu Daochang are not there, I don't dare to stop it alone. What's more, there are also county magistrates and county lords who coordinate the deployment of personnel, and everyone is also contributing to surround the entire workshop, and with Xu Daochang's action, it is impossible for the matter to be solved so smoothly. Gu Sheng said with a smile.
Although he didn't plan to stay in Qingyang County for a long time, he still had to say something.
It was the first time Gu Sheng had seen the local magistrate, he looked like he was in his forties, his face was thin, he had a long beard, his eyes were very bright, and his smile was quite kind.
However, among the people, this county master is not said to be three feet high, but it is almost the same.
Sure enough, after Gu Sheng's words were finished, the magistrate was quite happy: "Gu Sheng is really both civil and military, I didn't expect that there would be such a talent under my rule." I heard that you are still a child? Are you going to continue to take the Xiucai exam in the future? ”
"I have this plan, and I plan to go out to study in a few days." Gu Sheng said.
"It's okay to do this, if you want to study, it's better to go east to learn the style, and it's not bad to communicate and discuss with people more." Zhixian nodded.
Gu Sheng's heart turned, why did this magistrate suddenly say such a sentence? Could it be a reminder not to go west?
If that's the case, it is estimated that the situation on the Dongyang side is even more erosive than thought.
"Thank you, sir." Gu Sheng hugged his fists and thanked him.
Zhixian nodded, chatted with Xu Daoren for a while, and then left.
It can be seen that Zhixian is a pure literati, and this time he came mainly for Xu Daoren. The second is to say a few words to Gu Sheng, probably because of Gu Sheng's identity as a child.
The rest is just a few words.
After the magistrate left, everyone was a lot warmer.
Especially Gu Sheng, the Medicine Gang and the Flying Tiger Gang have been wooed. After all, in this Qingyang County, the Bone Forging Realm can be regarded as a master.
As for Zhang Wei in the boxing gym, he didn't say a few words, and he didn't have any plans to have a deep friendship with Gu Sheng, so he just guarded his one-third of an acre of land.
To Gu Sheng's surprise, the fat man who was like a foreigner and holding a halberd, named Zhao Kuohai, turned out to be the same family as the county Cheng, and he had to call the county Cheng a big brother.
After eating a meal, Gu Sheng had a number of bone forging warriors in this city, and he was not ready to make deep friends, and after three rounds of drinking, he made an appointment with Xu Daoren, and then said goodbye and left.
……
As soon as Hou Zheng, the leader of the medicine gang, returned home, he heard a report: "The Huang family has come to ask for help." ”
"Oh? Bring it in. ”
A moment later, a man was brought into the hall, and Gu Sheng still had a two-sided relationship with him, the one who came to collect the money that day.
This person is the housekeeper of the Huang Mansion, called Huang Xu.
"I've seen the Hou Gang Master." Huang Xu arched.
"Your Huang family has nothing to do with my medicine gang, and you don't know what is going on with me today?" Hou Zheng sat on the top and asked in a deep voice.
"That's the case, these days, a strong man has infiltrated the county and wants to be unfavorable to my lord, so I want to ask your gang to help my lord get rid of this big harm."
"Oh? There are strongmen eyeing your Huang family? Hou Zheng smiled, not surprised.
After all, buying such a thing as murder is indispensable at any time.
It is estimated that the Huang family has a grudge against someone and is being targeted.
"My lord doesn't know how to offend the other party, that person pretended to be a top identity and mixed in, but he is a very vicious person. My lord was afraid that he would be run away by that person after reporting to the official, and he would have to be worried in the future, so he thought about asking your help. With the strength of the means of the gang leader, this matter will definitely be caught.
Naturally, my lord will not treat your gang badly, and he is willing to pay this amount. ”
Huang Xu stretched out his finger and gestured.
"A thousand taels?" Hou Zheng pondered that one thousand taels is not a decimal number.
You must know that the Yao Gang's annual income is seven or eight thousand taels, but the Yao Gang is not his own, and it is only more than a thousand taels of silver in his hands.
"Please also ask the Hou Gang Master to take action personally, that person's strength is not weak, and he must not be run away." Huang Xu said again.
"What's that man's name? Where to stay? "Hou Zheng pondered that he could send someone to investigate, if the problem was not big, he could give the Huang family a face.
Huang Xu immediately replied: "That person's name is Gu Sheng, and he is in Xing'anfang." ”
Hou Zheng's eyes suddenly became strange.
The news of the Huang family is not very well-informed, and he didn't know that Gu Sheng stopped the cat demon in the afternoon.
However, in the afternoon, a few Bone Forging Realm martial artists saw it from a high place, and everyone else was outside, so it was normal that the news had not yet spread.
"Gu Sheng?"
"Yes, but as far as I know, the real Gu disappeared a few days ago, and now this person is an impostor." Huang Xu didn't notice the difference in Hou Zheng's eyes.
Hou Zheng's eyes became more and more strange, and he thought about it.
"In this case, you go back and wait for my news."
"Then there is the Laohou Gang Master, waiting for the good news of the Hou Gang Master." Huang Xu gave up, and then withdrew.
Hou Zheng sneered, and after a while, he turned back to the backyard and saw two people sitting in the room.
In addition to the woman Gu Sheng had seen during the day, that is, Yao Qing, the deputy leader of the Medicine Gang, there was another person.
If someone else sees it, they can't believe that this person will appear here.
The leader of the Flying Tigers, Gao Yong.
"Why is it so slow?" Gao Yong complained.
"If you encounter something interesting, I'll talk about it later." Hou Zheng looked at Yao Qing as he spoke: "That kid really wants to leave?" ”
"You can't go wrong. Listen to what he means, and after visiting Qingyunguan in a few days, I will go on a study tour. Yao Qing lowered his head and said while picking at his fingernails.
"Count him smart." Gao Yong snorted and said, "This Qingyang County is too small to support too many people." ”
"Since he's leaving, then don't pay attention to it, and we'll save trouble. After all, his knife, I, Gao, have no confidence to be able to block it. ”
Hou Zheng and the woman also nodded.
Outsiders couldn't have imagined that although it was not incompatible, there had been several conflicts, and the high-level leaders of the Medicine Gang and the Flying Tiger Gang, who had killed more than a dozen people, were actually wearing a pair of pants.
Qingyang County is so big, it can feed so many gang members, if there are more than one bone forging masters, the income of others will definitely decline.
After all, there are vital interests involved.
If Gu Shengzhen agreed to the pull of the Medicine Gang and the Flying Tiger Gang, he might die one day.
Since Gu Sheng was leaving, they didn't want to have trouble with Gu Sheng, after all, Gu Sheng's knife during the day left too much of an impression, and these people thought that they were not sure that they could stop it.
"That's why I said something funny." Hou Zheng said with a smile.
"Just now, someone from the Huang family in the north of the city came to ask me to kill someone, who do you guess I killed?"
"It can't be Gu Sheng, right?" Gao Yong said subconsciously.
"That's right, it's that Gu Sheng. That's why I say it's interesting! Hou Zheng clapped his hands and laughed.
"How much money does the Huang family pay?" Yao Qing raised his head and asked, if the price is right, it is not impossible to consider.
If you plan well, it's not impossible not to give the other party a chance to fight back.
"One thousand taels." Hou Zheng stretched out his index finger and said.
Yao Qing sneered: "One thousand taels? His Huang family kept it and went to the grave. ”
A thousand taels is a lot, but it also depends on who you want to kill.
Killing a master like Gu Sheng, a thousand taels is far from enough.
"This thousand taels, the Huang family not only wants to buy Gu Sheng's life, but also wants to buy my life!" Hou Zheng sneered.
Hou Zheng asked himself that his strength was stronger than Gu Sheng, but Gu Sheng's knife might not be able to take him away.
"I'll be a good person to the end, and I'll let Gu Sheng inform Gu Sheng of the news."
As for whether Gu Sheng was replaced or not, Hou Zheng didn't care at all.
Strength is real.
