Chapter 20: The Cheng Family's Calculations

Hearing Pang Shilong's voice, Gu Qingci slowly opened the door, walked out, and asked, "What's wrong?"

Pang Shilong whispered: "The Cheng family came to me." ”

Gu Qingci frowned slightly, and said, "Why did the Cheng family come to you?"

Pang Shilong looked around and said, "The Cheng family will send killers to assassinate you, and when the time comes, the Cheng family is trying to push me to sit in your position, and their request is for me to take the current county government to assist them in destroying the Flying Eagle Gang, and, according to them, the Li family has agreed to join forces with them." ”

Gu Qingci frowned slightly, and said, "The Li family really cooperated with the Cheng family? shouldn't they sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight? Why do you want to join in?"

"This, the lower officials are not very clear. Pang Shilong shook his head.

Gu Qingci thought about it, and didn't understand why the Li family would take the initiative to join in, but he could probably guess that it was nothing more than the Cheng family giving the Li family a benefit that they couldn't refuse.

"Okay," Gu Qingci thought for a moment and said, "Then let them assassinate, and this county will let them succeed!"

"What?" Pang Shilong didn't react and said, "My lord, what do you mean?"

Gu Qingci smiled slightly and said, "I'm not dead, how can I arrange you to be a procession family, and then stab them in the back at a critical moment?"

Pang Shilong suddenly realized and said: "My lord, you want to cheat death, and then let me go undercover in the Cheng family, and when the Cheng family and the Flying Eagle Gang fight a decisive battle, I will fight back!"

Gu Qingci nodded and said, "When the time comes, you can just listen to my arrangement, by the way, there should be a bow and crossbow in our yamen, right?"

"Yes, bows and crossbows are used exclusively by the imperial court to prevent foreign enemies from invading, so each yamen has hundreds of bows and crossbows, my lord, do you need to use bows and crossbows?" Pang Shilong asked.

"You don't have to worry about this, the county will naturally arrange someone to pick it up at that time. Gu Qingci said.

......

At night, Gu Qingci played the piano in the house.

The sound of the piano was in my ears, echoing in the courtyard, and in the night, with a little luster of snowflakes, a man in black quietly climbed over the wall and came to Gu Qingci.

Gu Qingci was shocked and shouted, "Someone, there is an assassin ......"

A hint of banter flashed in the eyes of the man in black, and with a swing of the sword, Gu Qingci fell down in response, a trace of blood appeared on his neck, and he glared at the man in black unwillingly, blood flowed out of his mouth, and his eyes slowly closed, silent.

The man in black nodded with satisfaction, and was about to step forward to make up for two knives, when he suddenly heard the sound of mixed footsteps outside, and someone was yelling: "Catch the assassin!"

The man in black glanced at Gu Qingci, made sure that Gu Qingci had been wiped on his neck, turned around and broke the window and disappeared into the night.

A large group of messengers hurriedly chased them out, and strangely, no one stayed to deal with Gu Qingci's body.

After a long time, everything was quiet, Gu Qingci, who was already dead, suddenly opened his eyes, sat up slowly, took out a piece of silk and wiped the "bloodstains" on his neck, smiled coldly, and said, "Cheng family, see how long you can be proud?"

"Squeak"

The door opened, and it was Ma Shilian who came in, he tiptoed to close the door, walked up to Gu Qingci, and said: "My county lord, don't play like this in the future, do you know, I'm worried about dying in my heart!"

Gu Qingci smiled slightly, took Ma Shilian into the inner room to roast the fire, and said, "Don't worry, Shilian, this county has been prepared for a long time, and it is impossible for something to happen." ”

"Okay, okay," Ma Shilian said helplessly: "Although your whole person seems to have changed during this period of time, only this character is still the same, and no one can change what you decide." ”

Gu Qingci patted Ma Shilian's shoulder and said, "I told you before that if you are prosperous and rich in your life, you will naturally do what you say." ”

Ma Shilian rolled his eyes and said, "If I had a choice, I would rather take you as far as possible." ”

Gu Qingqi was helpless, it was true, Ma Shilian wanted to escape with him from the beginning, and he didn't trust Ma Shilian at that time, so he had already made a killing move.

"Well, World Alliance, remember to do what I said tomorrow, release the news that I was killed, and make sure that the Cheng family believes that I am dead, and then you go to Mingcui Tower, find You Biyu, and ask him to bring Ling Qunyun to my mansion. ”

"Yes, Xia Guan understands!"

......

On the day of the erection, a news that shocked Changling County came out, Gu Qingci, the county commander who has always been a wise official and won the hearts of the people, was assassinated last night, and the body was cremated in public.

Gu Qing died after his resignation, and the post of county commander was temporarily replaced by the county lieutenant Pang Shilong.

Cheng family mansion.

"Lieutenant Pang County, no, Pang County is here, and you will not be welcomed!"

Cheng Chuang, the head of the Cheng family, personally greeted Pang Shilong at the gate and directly took Pang Shilong to the inner room.

Pang Shilong arched his hand and said, "This official can have today, thanks to the Cheng family master's efforts, I thank you here first!"

"Where are the words," Cheng Chuang hurriedly said: "Now that we are all a family, we won't talk about two families." ”

"Okay," Pang Shilong said with a big grin: "Then the Cheng family master, I have something to say directly, when are you going to do it, I can prepare it." ”

Cheng Chuang nodded, stretched out three fingers and said: "Three days later, at night, the people of the Li family will enter the city and sneak attack from behind the Flying Eagle Gang, and then we will take the opportunity to attack from the front, and then ask Pang Xianzun to lead people to block all the way out, and we will destroy the Flying Eagle Gang in one fell swoop." ”

"Okay," Pang Shilong said happily: "The master of the Cheng family has a good plan, but after the matter is completed, my share is indispensable!"

"It's nature!"

......

Mingcui Building.

In a private room, You Biyu slapped the table fiercely, and said angrily: "His grandmother's, why is this Gu Qingci so wasteful, he was still pointing out the country to Lao Tzu yesterday, why did he burp at night? It's so bad luck that it makes Lao Tzu happy!"

Opposite You Biyu sat a very sharp middle-aged man, with an ordinary appearance, only that temperament, which made it impossible to ignore him, this person was Ling Qunyun, the leader of the Flying Eagle Gang, a legend in Changling County, from a beggar, he slashed out the largest gang in Changling County with a knife and a sword, and became one of the most powerful people in Changling County.

Ling Qunyun glanced at You Biyu and said lightly: "Third child, don't be impatient, this is not all bad, at least we didn't cooperate with him, if we die after cooperation, then we will be unlucky." ”

"Big brother," You Biyu patted the table and said, "I understand what you said, but when I think of Gu Qingci's high-spirited appearance yesterday, I feel that he shouldn't die so easily." ”

"Oh, it seems that the third child is really optimistic about that county lord!" Ling Qunyun said in some surprise.

"Yes, with that kid, we have at least three percent chance ......of destroying the Cheng family."

"Bang Bang Bang"

Before You Biyu finished speaking, there was a sudden knock on the door outside, You Biyu and Ling Qunyun glanced at each other, picked up the knife on the table, walked out slowly, and shouted, "Who?"

"Hall master, the people from the county government are here!"

You Biyu looked at Ling Qunyun, and after getting Ling Qunyun's approval, he said, "Let him come in!"

The person who came was Ma Shilian, as the county magistrate of Changling County, You Biyu and Ling Qunyun still knew each other.

You Biyu arched his hand and said, "Master Ma, I don't know why you came?"

Ma Shilian smiled slightly and said, "On the orders of the county lord, please come to the house to talk." ”

You Biyu was surprised: "Which county?"

Ma Shilian said lightly: "There is only one county in Changling County, and that is Gu Qingqi Gu!"

You Biyu said angrily: "Aren't you?" Now who doesn't know that Gu Qingci's unlucky guy has burped, where are we going to meet him, hell?"

"Third child," Ling Qunyun suddenly stood up, scolded You Biyu, walked towards Ma Shilian, and said, "It seems that Master Gu already has a plan?"

Ma Shilian smiled slightly and said, "Gang Master Ling is really powerful!"

You Biyu was a little stunned, and said suspiciously: "Big brother, didn't you say that Gu Qingci is dead?

Ling Qunyun shook his head, did not answer You Biyu, but asked Ma Shilian, "Lord County, do you have any other orders?"

Ma Shilian said: "It's good that the two of you don't find out, please, don't let the adults wait for a long time!"
