Chapter 10: Troubles
The strong man was slightly stunned for a moment, looked at Gu Qi with a look of surprise in his eyes, and said, "Yo, this lord, isn't he planning to ask for the people's life?" ”
Gu Chu was about to speak, but he was stopped by Chen Fei on the side, he hurriedly smiled and said to the strong man: "Oh, Hall Master Liu, misunderstanding and misunderstanding, this is our new Xiaoqi, Lord Gu Shu, he has just taken office, he doesn't know the rules of our places, how offended is it, please Haihan!" ”
The strong man snorted coldly and said, "If you don't understand the rules, study hard, and you want to play official power before you grow up?" Captain Chen, you should tell this official master the rules! ”
"Yes, yes!"
Chen Fei hurriedly pulled Gu Chu with a smile on his face, ignoring the vague disdainful gazes of the civilians around him, and said in a low voice: "My lord, we can't afford to mess with this group of people." ”
Gu Chu frowned and said, "The Great Xia Imperial Court hasn't fallen yet, and the dignified brocade guards can actually be ridden on the head by a few ruffians and shit?" What is the origin of the water gang in this day, and Jinyi Wei can't afford to provoke it? ”
Chen Fei sighed and said: "My lord, it's not that Jinyiwei can't be provoked, it's that we can't afford to provoke, if it's an ordinary small gang, we Jinyiwei can fight if we want, and catch it if we want." ”
Saying that, Chen Fei pointed at the strong man and said, "But that person is not an ordinary ruffian, he is Liu Hong, the hall master of the Tianshui Gang.
But this Tianshui Gang is not simple, it is the largest gang in our southern city, and there are thousands of swordsmen, in addition, you think, can there be such a force in the city, and the official background can be poor? People want people to have people, and they want backgrounds and backgrounds, how can we afford to mess with them? ”
Gu Qi was also shocked,
The Water Gang is indeed a little scary this day.
The knife hand is a pronoun, that is, the official gang members who have officially worshiped the hall and are on the roster, and there can be thousands, which means that at least tens of thousands of people rely on the Tianshui Gang for food.
To be able to do this, the official background of the Water Gang will definitely not be bad that day.
"My lord, let's go!" Chen Fei said in a low voice: "If I guessed correctly, it should be the Tianshui Gang who wants to expand Fang City here, you know, this Mud Bottle Lane is next to Pingle Fang, and Pingle Fang is the territory of the Tianshui Gang, and they will definitely take this Mud Bottle Lane if they want to expand." ”
Gu Chu knew in his heart that this should be a forced demolition.
Actually, Gu Chu guessed well.
It is indeed the Tianshui Gang that wants to expand Fang City, and they are eyeing this mud bottle alley.
However, they encountered the resistance of these civilians in Mud Bottle Lane, and many poultry poisoning incidents in Mud Bottle Lane before should have been the means of the Tianshui Gang to force these people to agree.
And before Cao Feng was in charge of this matter, the Tianshui Gang said hello, Cao Feng naturally didn't dare to go against the Tianshui Gang, so he directly designated this matter as avian plague, in order to calm down the matter, Cao Feng also arrested a few civilians who took the lead in resisting.
However, these civilians in Mud Bottle Lane are all born and raised here, and the Tianshui Gang wants them to move out now, but they have given them a small relocation fee, and they don't plan to give them a way to live.
So, although I know that the government doesn't care about this matter,
The people of Mud Bottle Lane still spontaneously organized themselves to resist the Tianshui Gang, and the main leaders were the three brothers of the Jin family.
Then, the three brothers of the Jin family died.
This is also why the widow of the Jin family did not believe that Gu Shu came to investigate the truth, because all of them knew that the three brothers of the Jin family were killed by the Tianshui Gang, and the Tianshui Gang did not hide any traces, and the evidence was grabbed.
Although Gu Chu doesn't know the specific situation very well now,
However, he was able to guess the general direction of events.
Looking at the people in the courtyard of the Jin family, as well as the orphans and widows who were full of despair,
Gu Qi couldn't help but sigh in his heart,
This world-shattering way has not left people alive at all.
Not to mention these people, even his predecessor, who still has an official position, has been killed, not to mention these ordinary people, in this kind of world, where are there many ways to live.
Knowing that the Water Gang was indeed something he couldn't afford to provoke for the time being, he immediately turned around and left.
However, at this moment, the strong man named Liu Hong suddenly said again: "Several officials, they are all here, you can't just leave empty-handed, right?" ”
Chen Fei hurriedly asked, "I don't know what else Hall Master Liu has to say?" ”
Liu Hong pointed to the civilians in the courtyard and said: "A few officials, there are many people here who have not repaid their debts, and we have come to the door many times to ask for debts to no avail, so we have to ask the officials to call the shots for us!" ”
Gu Qi's face sank and asked, "What do you want to do?" ”
Liu Hong kicked the woman in filial piety away and said: "To tell the truth, I came today to ask you to administer justice when you came here. ”
Chen Fei on the side said in a low voice: "Hall Master Liu, you don't follow the rules, we don't care what your Tianshui Gang wants to do, but Jinyiwei doesn't eat your food, how can you do things, how can there be any reason for us to contribute?" ”
Liu Hong chuckled and said, "If you don't do anything after receiving the money, it's the gentlemen who don't follow the rules!" ”
Chen Fei frowned and said, "When did we receive the money from your Tianshui Gang?" ”
Liu Hong looked at Gu Shu and said, "It wasn't you who collected it, it was Cao Feng who collected it, but before he could finish the matter, he was killed by Lord Gu, so Lord Gu, who do you say, who am I counting this account on?" ”
Gu Qi narrowed his eyes slightly, and said coldly: "This official can understand it, you came to me specifically today, right?" What, are you ready to avenge Cao Feng? ”
"Lord Gu laughed," Liu Hong said: "I don't care about how you fight inside the Jinyi Guard, but my eight hundred taels of silver can't be wasted, Cao Feng promised to help me get things done, but as a result, he was killed by you, Lord Gu, so what should I do?" ”
"That's your bad luck," Gu Shu said in a deep voice: "Could it be that if this official wants to kill someone, he must first investigate whether the other party has anything to do with your Tianshui Gang?" This official confiscated your money, and there is no reason to do things for you, right? ”
"I don't care so much," Liu Hong said coldly: "I only know that my money has been sent out, and a good thing has been destroyed by you, Lord Gu, I can't spend this money in vain, then this matter can only be done by you, Lord Gu, if you want to stay in this Linjiang City, it's best not to let me make a splash of eight hundred taels of silver." ”
Gu Chu frowned and said, "Are you threatening me?" ”
"You can understand it that way." Liu Hong said: "Or, it's okay if you pay me back eight hundred taels, but counting the interest, it's one thousand taels, what does Master Gu think?" ”
Gu Chuwei smiled and said, "I think it's okay." ”
"Huh?" Liu Hong was stunned.
"This official sent you to Cao Feng to repay the money!"
At that moment, there was a "bang",
Gu Shu suddenly pulled out the knife from the sheath,
A ray of white light flickered, and the horizontal knife slashed directly at Liu Hong's neck.
