Chapter 2: Conspiracy to seize power
"Go and call Master Ma to me. ”
After Gu Qing quit the system space, he immediately gave orders to a subordinate next to him, and he turned around and went back to his own mansion.
He has the confidence now, he is not as anxious as before, before he was thinking about finding a way to save his life, but now it is different, he is ready to take the initiative to attack, he can't sit still.
As for Gu Qingci's Master Ma, his name is Ma Shilian, he is a person from the capital who came from the capital with him, and he is also his classmate.
According to the memory of his predecessor, Gu Qingci knew that this Master Ma was his confidant, and he was also the only person in the entire Changling County who was still on his side, because Ma Shilian had no extra choice, he, like Gu Qingci, did not belong to any force in Changling County, and he was not less excluded in the county government on weekdays.
Therefore, Ma Shilian must be Gu Qingci's person, and he can use it with confidence, and his identity as a master can only rely on Gu Qingci, without Gu Qingci, he is nothing.
Gu Qingci sat in the living room and sipped tea, and it didn't take long for Ma Shilian to come in a hurry, and as soon as he entered the door, he said respectfully: "Xiaguan Ma Shilian, meet your lord!"
In addition to being a master, Ma Shilian also hung up his idle post in the yamen for the convenience of his actions, so he has always claimed to be a subordinate official.
Gu Qingci slowly put down the teacup and said, "No need to be polite, come over and bake the fire, it's quite cold this day." ”
Ma Shilian and Gu Qingci have known each other for many years, and they are not only subordinates, but also friends, but he was not too polite to Gu Qingci, and immediately moved a chair and sat down opposite Gu Qingci.
As soon as he sat down, Ma Shilian couldn't wait to ask, "My lord, are you well?"
"Well, skin trauma, out of the way. Gu Qingci said lightly.
"Great," Ma Shilian said happily: "My lord, my subordinates have made arrangements, just wait for your body to recover, let's leave for Langya County overnight tonight, and ask Lord Taishou for protection." ”
Speaking of this, Ma Shilian paused, he knew that Gu Qingci before was a person who ate the ancients, so he persuaded: "My lord, the lower officials know that you are ambitious, but you have also seen that the Cheng family can be said to cover the sky with one hand in Changling County, we can't fight, let's admit defeat for the time being, stay in Qingshan and don't be afraid of no firewood, as long as we go to the county guard to ask for soldiers, and then go to Liumen to borrow a few masters, let's come back, when the time comes, we will definitely be able to completely eradicate the Cheng family." ”
Gu Qingci admired Ma Shilian in his heart, because it can be seen from the memory of his predecessor that this person is a smart person, very slippery, and has always played the role of a good man, but in terms of personal ability, he is much stronger than his predecessor, and what is even more rare is that this Ma Shilian has never betrayed Gu Qingci by others.
Ma Shilian said, and at the same time, he kept looking at Gu Qingci's face, because he knew Gu Qingci's temper, I am afraid that even if he dies, he may not be willing to flee in the wilderness.
Gu Qingci stared at Ma Shilian and didn't speak for a long time, and Ma Shilian was also tidy up, and after a long time, Gu Qingci said coldly: "Shilian, this county has decided to do a big one, if it succeeds, it will be prosperous and rich from now on, if it fails, it will die in Huangquan, do you dare to bet with me?"
While speaking, Gu Qingci got up slowly, staring at Ma Shilian deadly, his eyes revealed coldness, which made Ma Shilian shiver involuntarily, he looked at Gu Qingci in horror, and suddenly found that his classmate seemed to have changed.
In the past, Gu Qingci always looked gentle and elegant, when did he have such a fierce momentum, especially when he saw Gu Qingci holding a sword in his hand, he always had a feeling that if he dared not agree, I am afraid that he would not be able to get out of this mansion today.
Ma Shilian was stared at by Gu Qingci, and his forehead began to sweat, he knew a truth, the better the temper, the more frightening it was, he swallowed his saliva, and asked cautiously: "The villain should follow the adult, but I don't know what the adult's plan is?"
Hearing Ma Shilian's words, Gu Qingci took back half of the sword that had been drawn out, if Ma Shilian didn't agree just now, he didn't plan to kill Ma Shilian, but he would definitely raise the sword to force Ma Shilian to promise him, it was really not impossible to kill Ma Shilian in order to avoid leaking the news.
Gu Qingci slowly returned to the chair, picked up the teacup, and said slowly: "I want to destroy the Cheng family with my own hands, and I will also clear Changling County!"
Ma Shilian's eyes widened, this adult was really speechless, and he almost didn't scare him to his knees as soon as he spoke, and stammered: "Big ...... My lord, our strength is not enough, Changling County is controlled by two clans and a gang, we ......"
If it weren't for Gu Qingci's identity, I'm afraid that Ma Shilian would want to scold him now, wouldn't you have any self-knowledge? If you offended a young master of the Cheng family, you were almost killed, and now you still want to be the enemy of the three major forces of the two clans and a gang of people!
Gu Qingci naturally knew what Ma Shilian was thinking, and said without changing his face: "Don't worry, I don't want to hit a stone with an egg, let alone the three major forces, even the Cheng family alone is not something I can deal with now." ”
Ma Shilian breathed a sigh of relief and said, "What do you want to do?"
"It's very simple," Gu Qingci said: "The first step, I need people, no matter what the plan, I must first have my own people, I want to control the county soldiers of Changling County in my hands." ”
"This ......" Ma Shilian was puzzled: "My lord, with all due respect, I am afraid that you will not be able to order the county soldiers now, and they will not listen to your command." ”
"Of course I know, so I'm calling you here today to give you a mission. Gu Qingci said.
"Your Excellency, please command. Ma Shilian said.
Gu Qingci nodded and said: "There are more than 500 county soldiers in Changling County, and the military power is in the hands of the county lieutenant Pang Shilong. ”
The positions of the county government are all assigned, and although Gu Qingci is the highest magistrate of a county, in fact, he only has political power in his hands at most, and the real and most useful military power and financial power are in the hands of the county lieutenant Pang Shilong and the county magistrate Liu Qian respectively.
Pang Shilong and Liu Qian are both old people in Changling County, even though the county magistrate has changed several terms, but they have always been here, and the actual power of the county government has always been firmly controlled by these two people.
Pang Shilong relies on military power and his own martial arts, and he is a figure in Changling County, and this Liu Qian is backed by Gu Qingci's old acquaintance Cheng family, so Gu Qingci has not had any chance to meddle in the two power organs in Changling County.
If Gu Qingci wants to deal with the Cheng family, first of all, he must hold all the power of the county government in his hands, so that he can have a glimmer of hope, and only then can he have some capital to confront the Cheng family.
"Ding, as the head of a county, how can you let your subordinates seize power, system task: within three days, get back all the power, success reward: a random lottery chance, failure punishment: cut off an arm. ”
At this moment, the voice of the system suddenly sounded in Gu Qingci's mind.
Gu Qingci smiled secretly, this system task came really instantly, just in line with his thoughts, but the punishment for failure was too heavy.
Without paying too much attention to the system task, Gu Qing remained silent and said: "World Alliance, if this county wants to take down Pang Shilong, I have to trouble you to make a trip, I believe that you will not disappoint this county, right?"
Ma Shilian took a deep breath, looked at Gu Qingci and said, "My lord, please command!"
"How many people do you have in your hands now?" Gu Qingci asked.
Ma Shi thought for a moment and replied, "Xia Guan can use a maximum of fifty people. ”
"That's enough," Gu Qingci said: "Tonight, you have a banquet for Pang Shilong in Mingcui Tower, and this county will take him down tonight." ”
Ma Shilian was taken aback and said: "My lord, even if I send someone to block Pang Shilong, then I can't help him, Xia Guan heard that Pang Shilong is a second-rate master!"
