Chapter 47: Pure Coincidence
Meng Da and Qian Liu rushed back to the headquarters of the Qinglong Gang in a hurry, and as soon as they entered the door, they hurriedly summoned Chen Qi, Hu Ba, and Gan Jiu together, and together with the injured Li Er and Zhang San, they closed the door to discuss countermeasures.
When Chen Qi, Hu Ba, Gan Jiu and the other five people heard that the son they had intercepted and killed was actually the county magistrate of Weishi County, they were all startled, panicked, and instantly understood in their hearts that the Qinglong Gang was in a lot of trouble this time!
Zhang San and Li Er were even more frightened, their bodies trembled involuntarily, tearing the wounds on their eyes and the broken bones on their bodies, and grinning in pain.
"Tell me, guys, what are we going to do now?" Meng Da glanced at everyone and asked weakly.
Everyone was silent, and the room was so quiet that the leaves could be heard.
"Second child, you usually have a lot of ideas, let's talk about it!" Meng Da had no choice but to order Li Er's general.
"Me! I ......" Li Er slurred for a long time, but he couldn't say why. What can he do? The unpredictable methods of others still make him feel cold down his spine when he thinks about it, and his fear is still there, let alone wanting to regain face and take revenge.
"Could it be that our Blue Dragon Gang is waiting for death like this? Everyone has already hit the door, we should always have a charter! Meng Da was a little angry and roared.
Can he not be in a hurry? In the past, these "Eight Dragons" under his command were usually very awesome, all of them drank five or six, were arrogant, and rampant, but now they have all become turtles with shrunken heads, frightened sparrows, he is angry and anxious!
In fact, Meng Da was also frightened in his heart, but who called him the boss of the gang, even if he was afraid, he had to pretend to be calm, right?
"Big brother, why don't we wait and see? Don't you think it's strange? This Lord Wu Zhi has been in Weishi County for many days, but he has not taken any action, maybe he doesn't know that it is our Qinglong Gang's hands? In the end, it is the brains of the Qinglong Gang, worthy of being the second "silver dragon" of the Qinglong Gang, Li Er thought about it, and finally put forward a suggestion that seemed quite reasonable.
When Meng Da, Qian Liu and the others heard this, their eyes suddenly lit up. That's right, the speed of the soldier is the right way for the soldier, this Lord Wuzhi is as witty as a demon, he won't not understand such a simple truth, right? Could it really be that as Li Er said, this Lord Wu Zhi didn't know?
The crowd began to think about luck.
"Second brother, did you reveal that you were from the Blue Dragon Gang that night?" Qian Liu was thoughtful, thought about it, and asked Li Er.
"Absolutely nothing! As soon as we arrived at the scene, we started fighting, we didn't speak at all, and we didn't hang the banner of the Blue Dragon Gang! Li Er said categorically.
"Oh! That's good! It seems that this Lord Takeshik really didn't recognize us! Hu Ba suddenly relaxed, and a smile bloomed on his face.
It turned out to be a false alarm!
Meng Da, Qian Liu and the others couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and began to find seats one after another, sat down, and talked easily. But what they didn't expect was that Wu Zhi had already been eyeing them for a long time!
"Big brother, second brother, is it just like this for our Blue Dragon Gang? Don't want the face of the Blue Dragon Gang? Won't the brothers' vengeance be avenged? At this time, an inappropriate word sounded in everyone's ears, Zhang San was sitting on the soft collapse, staring at everyone with the only remaining eye, and asked unwillingly. He was injured in his left eye, he was in pain, and he hated Wu Zhi to the core, and he was unwilling!
Zhang San's words made Meng Da, Qian Liu and the others stop their mouths instantly, they were silent, and their hearts were turbulent, and their faces were sad.
Yes, they were too happy too early, and they were only worried about whether Wu Zhi would retaliate against them, but they forgot that the Blue Dragon Gang now has a life-and-death enmity with Wu Zhi, and the dead brothers in the gang still need them to administer justice!
But can they really get face back from Wu Zhi? Can we really avenge the dead brethren? Let's not talk about whether they can get back face, whether they can get revenge, even if they lend them ten guts now, they don't dare to blatantly go to Lord Zhixian to take revenge, not to mention this Lord Wuzhi who made them suffer a big loss! Wu Zhi's mystery and strength made them feel scared and couldn't sleep.
But if we don't avenge the dead brothers, it will chill the hearts of the brothers in the gang! This made the "six dragons" such as Meng Da and Qian Liu, who were present, feel in a dilemma and hesitated.
Where do we go from here? After discussing in the room for a long time, they couldn't come up with a useful charter, except for Zhang San, the other six people were all wavering. In desperation, Meng Da could only announce the adjournment of the meeting, saying that everyone would go back and think about it first, and wait for a while to see the situation. His words made Zhang San's heart cold and disappointed.
Zhang San knew in his heart that apart from himself, the "Six Dragons" present actually didn't want to regain face at all, let alone take revenge!
Just when the bosses of the Qinglong Gang were anxious to plan a way out, in the courtyard of the house more than 700 meters away, Wu Zhi was directing the invited masons to build a large stove for distilling alcohol and a stove for steaming rice and wine, and they were in full swing.
Wu Zhi, the magistrate, is very incompetent!
In the days after coming to Weishi County, he was busy with his own affairs, and he had no time to take care of anything else, let alone go to the county government to work as an errand. In addition to seeing him enter and leave the county two days before he first came to Weishi County, everyone in the county government couldn't even find the shadow of this county magistrate for several days, and everyone couldn't help but talk about it.
What about the "three fires for new officials to take office"? Why can't you find it on this young magistrate? Could it be that he is not only a loser, but also does not know how to be an official?
Everyone in the county government had different opinions for a while, and even the depressed and disappointed county lord Cheng Yuwen was puzzled, and at the same time he was faintly happy, such a straw county order, it would be much easier for him to deal with it.
This Lord Yuwenqiong is also ill-fated, since he came to Weishi County as a county minister, he has been staying for ten years, and he has not seen the imperial court put him in the position of the county honor, so that he can live a local number one official addiction, so, in order to realize his great cause of becoming a county magistrate, under psychological distortion, he began to work hard in Weishi County, bribing party henchmen, getting acquainted with the Qinglong Gang, and covering the sky with one hand. Within five years, under the conspiracy and trickery of him and his henchmen, he forcibly squeezed out several magistrates. But as soon as the old man left and the new man came again, the position of the county lord never fell under his ass, and this time it was the same, Wu Zhi's arrival made him full of disappointment, and even Wu Zhi was jealous of him, and he suffered from his conspiracy for no reason.
As for the Qinglong Gang, they are still there, and they have not come to trouble Wu Zhi until now, so Wu Zhi is happy to be quiet, and he is dedicated to doing the things he needs most urgently. People are not in a hurry, so why should he be in a hurry.
Five days later, the new osmanthus distillery was finally built, and the new distillation room and blending room were also built, and Wu Zhi breathed a sigh of relief. He gave Zhang Gui a start-up capital of 200 guan to prepare the first pot of new low-alcohol liquor, and considering the personnel problem, Wu Zhi also announced that the families of the winemakers who were willing to participate in the brewing could be hired, and the treatment was the same as that of the winemakers. This time, let them be ecstatic, except for the children and the old inconvenient legs and feet, the other family members have joined the wine-making team, the staff of the osmanthus wine shop has increased to fourteen people at once, greatly alleviating the problem of insufficient personnel, ensuring that the osmanthus wine shop can complete the wine-making task on time and in quantity. In Take-sik's plan, he wanted to stock up on as many low-alcohol liquor as possible for blending and distillation.
After solving the toughest problems, Takeshi can finally sit quietly and start thinking and planning for other things.
First of all, Wu Zhi knew that he came to Weishi County to serve as the county magistrate at best as a hurried passerby, this was just Zhao Xu's expedient measure, and it was impossible for him to stay in Weishi County for too long!
Judging from the current development trend, at least half a year or a year later, the war between the Western Xia and the Song Dynasty will start, and at that time, Emperor Zhao Xu will definitely ask him to go to the capital to discuss countermeasures, and it is very likely that he will also be used to let him go to the northwest front to participate in the battle. When the time comes, it will be a great opportunity for Wu Zhi to express himself, display his ambitions and make contributions! So before that, what he has to do is to make all preparations, turn opportunities into military exploits as much as possible, and seek greater development space for the future.
Therefore, during the period when he was the county magistrate in Weishi County, Wu Zhi did not intend to treat himself as a local parent official, he didn't want to take care of too many things and didn't want to touch the interests and authority of other officials in Weishi County, as long as there was a safe transition and nothing to do. He didn't care about the provocations and stumbling blocks of the county Cheng Yu Wenqiong, the chief bookkeeper Wang Mingyang and others, and he didn't bother to fight with them, he still had more important things to do, so that he wouldn't waste his energy on such petty officials and officials needlessly.
Secondly, Wu Zhi also has to think about how to solve the problem of the Blue Dragon Gang.
It stands to reason that from the time he and the Qinglong Gang fought and killed in Zhuxian Town, even if they were enemies of life and death, they should be endless. Others may be "a gentleman's revenge, ten years is not too late", but Wu Zhi is not, he is "a gentleman's revenge, from morning to night"!
In the past few days since he came to Weishi County, he was too busy to take care of this matter, so he didn't take action against the Qinglong Gang, not that he forgot! The Blue Dragon Gang dared to intercept and kill him in Zhuxian Town, although he did not succeed, and he did not suffer the slightest damage, but this had angered him, he would not let them go, good and evil were rewarded, and the Green Dragon Gang had to bear his anger.
Now, the Blue Dragon Gang didn't come to trouble him, but that doesn't mean he won't trouble them! As for how to find it, he needs to plan slowly.
However, what made Wu Zhi feel strange and puzzled was what this Qinglong Gang was thinking, and it was really unreasonable to let go of such a good opportunity in vain, and did not launch an attack when he had just arrived in Weishi County, where his foothold was not stable and his foundation was not deep, but stood still and waited for the enemy to come to the door!
Such a strange operation made Wu Zhi a little crying and laughing, and he was also a lot relieved, and he even suspected that the boss of the Blue Dragon Gang was either a madman or a fool, and a person with a normal brain would not do this.
He is living the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain!
It's not that the Qinglong Gang doesn't want to come to trouble him, it's that people were too busy to take care of themselves before, and they didn't know his identity, so they didn't have time to do it; Now that people know his identity, they are afraid that they will not come to him to settle accounts, but they are still afraid that he will find trouble with them!
Things in the world are so wonderful, it is purely a coincidence that the two sides of the same city have coexisted peacefully for a long time in a place 700 meters away, and everyone is safe!
A few days later, in the county yali of Weishi County, the long-lost new magistrate of the county Wuzhi finally reappeared!
