Chapter 9: Moths in the county office
It has been snowing in Changling County, and the wind and snow are getting thicker.
Gu Qing practiced overnight, and specialized in medicinal baths, which he specially asked Ma Shilian to buy at a high price, the so-called poor and rich martial arts are like this, just one medicinal bath consumed thousands of taels of silver.
Originally, he copied Liu Qian's home, and he had nearly 100,000 taels in his private pockets, and he thought he was a rich man, but now he found out that he was still a poor ghost.
However, this thousand taels of silver, Gu Qingci felt that it was worth the money, because the Huashan Mental Method of the sixth layer actually had a vague feeling of breaking through, although he also knew that this was because of the fusion of Lu Dayou's internal strength realm, which was already about the same, but he could also clearly feel the progress.
Gu Qingci saw it very clearly, although he now controlled all the power of the county government, he didn't feel that he could sit back and relax, in this world, after all, it was his own strength that could decide everything.
Originally, he also hoped to exchange a little pill that could increase his internal strength, but after taking a look, the Shaolin Xiaohuan Pill that increased his internal strength for five years needed five hundred chivalrous points, and he was only a little more than a hundred chivalrous points now, which was far worse.
In the end, he set his sights on the snake gallbladder of the Bodhisattva, in the Condor Heroes, Yang Guo relied on this to eat this snake gallbladder, and his skill increased greatly.
The price of this Bodhisattva snake gall is not high, twenty chivalrous points for one, but now Gu Qingci's chivalrous points are too few, and he has to leave a little emergency, only exchanged three, just ate three, and he suddenly had a feeling that he might suddenly reach the seventh layer at any time.
When he was still thinking about another one, it was already dawn, and a servant outside the door came to inform him that Zhang Xu was visiting.
When Gu Qingci dressed up and came to the guest hall, Zhang Xu had been waiting for a long time, but he didn't dare to complain in the slightest, and immediately stood up and said respectfully: "See Lord County." ”
"No need to be polite," Gu Qingci waved his hand, sat down next to the brazier, and said, "Is there something wrong?" Your current identity, don't come to me at will, so as not to expose my relationship with Lieutenant Pang. ”
"Yes, yes, my subordinates understand," Zhang Xu said: "This time, I have something important to report, my lord arranged for Ma Xiancheng to recruit officers yesterday, and then Ma Xiancheng has other things to deal with, let me pay attention to it, my subordinates came today to report this matter." ”
"Oh, yes, yes," Gu Qingci remembered and said, "What's the matter, is there something wrong?"
"Yes," Zhang Xu said: "Now the two team leaders in the yamen are mainly responsible for this matter, one surnamed Zhou and the other surnamed Wang, and the two of them received 10,000 taels of silver from Maxian Cheng yesterday, but they did not recruit people as soon as possible, but took the money to go to Gehua Wine, and did not return all night, and they are still in the Qinglou." ”
"Bang"
Gu Qingci slapped the table, his face was flushed, and he said coldly: "Don't they know how to write dead characters?
Zhang Xu stared at the handprint on the table, and shuddered, this adult's murderous intent was really heavy, and he immediately said, "My lord, I don't know what to do now?"
"Where are they?" Gu Qingci said coldly.
"Red sleeve move!" Zhang Xu said.
"Okay, you don't have to meddle in this matter, the county will go in person!" Gu Qingci snorted coldly, stood up and went straight to the yamen.
Although the errand officers in the county government have almost left, there are still more than a dozen left, plus the twenty sent by Pang Shilong yesterday, there are more than thirty in total.
As soon as Gu Qing arrived at the county office, he immediately beckoned an old man who stayed behind to summon all the errands.
I don't know what the name of this old man is unclear, but according to the memory of Gu Qingci's predecessor, this is a person who is a quiet person, has no children and no daughters, has always lived in the county government, and now he is sixty or seventy years old, it can be regarded as the entire county government, the person who respects Gu Qingci the most, for Gu Qingci's order, he did not delay for a moment, and immediately went to execute it.
The twenty servants sent by Pang Shilong were all Pang Shilong's henchmen, and each of them was instructed by Pang Shilong to absolutely obey Gu Qingci's orders.
However, only five of the dozen or so officers who had stayed behind had arrived on time, and nearly ten had not yet arrived.
Gu Qingci's face was frosty, staring at the stick of incense in front of him, without saying a word, he was silent all the time, so that the servants below were all at a loss.
It wasn't until the incense burned out that Gu Qingci slowly stood up, looked at Old Man Yan, and asked, "Uncle Yan, have you notified everyone?"
Because Old Man Yan is old, the people in the county government call him Old Man Yan, and Gu Qingci, the predecessor, walks in the style of a gentleman, and is very good at respecting the old and loving the young, and has always called Uncle Yan.
When Old Man Yan heard Gu Qingci's question, he immediately replied: "Yes, Lord County, all the small ones have been notified, but Zhou Bantou and Wang Bantou are both drunk in the red sleeves, I went to call them, and I was scolded!"
"How daring!"
Gu Qingci shouted angrily and said: "As a public official, you dare to stay in Qinglou, and you don't even come to the house, these people are just a corpse vegetarian meal when they stay in the county office, do you dare to follow the county to take down these scum who waste public grain?"
As soon as the five original officers heard Gu Qingci's words, their faces changed greatly, but they knew that this county lord was a person who didn't know whether to live or die, and he took people to attack the Cheng family some time ago, and they also saw the consequences, so they didn't want to repeat the mistakes of the past.
However, they didn't expect that the twenty new officers who came yesterday didn't even think about it, and all of them said in unison: "I want to go with my lord!"
At this moment, the five original errand officers were embarrassed, and everyone expressed their positions, but the five of them didn't speak, and they stood together again, which was too obvious.
Gu Qingci looked at the five people and said, "Do you have any objections to the county's instructions?"
Regardless of whether Gu Qingci has prestige in the county government or not, it is not a few errand servants who can afford to offend, and when Gu Qingci questioned him like this, they were all frightened, and hurriedly expressed their position,
"No, no, my subordinates just didn't react......
"Yes, yes, we should follow your orders!"
Gu Qingci glanced at these people coldly, just snorted coldly, didn't say anything more, picked up the long sword on the table, and said loudly: "All go with this county, today this county will take you to clear my Changling County Yamen and get rid of these moths!"
I have to say that Pang Shilong is a smart person, he knows that Gu Qingci is short of people, but it is inconvenient for him to send too many people to Gu Qingci, so these twenty people are all the most elite group under him, and each of them is well-trained.
Gu Qingci took the lead, and a group of errands behind him followed him to the Red Sleeve Move, and to Gu Qingci's surprise, Yan Tou'er, who was already a lot of age, actually followed, and rejected Gu Qingci's kindness to let him rest.
The snow in Changling County is getting heavier and heavier, and Gu Qingci felt the chill as soon as he went out, but now that he has internal strength, he doesn't feel cold, but just sighs with emotion: "Alas, with such a heavy snowfall, I don't know how the people outside the city are?"
Old man Yan, who had never been left behind, but was able to follow Gu Qingci closely, suddenly raised his head in surprise and said, "The hearts of adults care about the people, which is the blessing of the people. ”
"Alas," Gu Qingci sighed and said, "Speaking of which is the negligence of this county, this snow has been falling for two or three days in a row, and I didn't even think of sending someone out of the city to check it." ”
Old man Yan arched his hand and said, "The little one is willing to investigate for the adult." ”
"No," Gu Qingci refused: "Uncle Yan, you are too old, don't go, this county will arrange a few young people to go." ”
Old Man Yan's eyes flashed with brilliance, but he didn't insist anymore.
......
The red sleeve is the largest green building in Changling County, and it is also the most popular green building, no matter what time it is, it is full of people.
Zhou Bantou and Wang Bantou were drinking in a large private room with a group of errands, and a group of people came and went, drinking happily, and ordered a few girls to accompany them.
However, after drinking for a while, the Wang Bantou suddenly said: "Old Zhou, just now the county lord sent someone to call us, if we don't go, will it really be fine?"
"Hehe," Zhou Bantou smiled slightly, and said: "Gu Qingci, he is a nerd, what can he do with us, he doesn't have anyone in his hands, and besides, you don't know that Lieutenant Pang and him are like fire and water, and he has no chance to move us." ”
"However, the money we spend is only public money for recruiting new officers. Wang Bantou said.
"I'll just use it, what can he Gu Qingci do......?
"Bang"
At this moment, the door of the private room was suddenly kicked open, and a cold voice came:
"Then the county will let you see, what can I do!"
