Chapter 345: Time waits for no one, hide the sword in your body
Being disturbed by this ghostly voice, everyone present had different thoughts.
Tie Tang even tried his best to use his martial arts eyes and Netherworld ears, trying to find the person secretly Gong Huo.
However, the other party hid it very well, and his speaking skills were extremely skillful, and he was so unexpected that it was impossible to capture the trajectory of his words.
Apart from all the masters present, the person with the highest cultivation level...is Li Qingwan.
The cultivation of the Heavenly Witch Realm and the talent of the first level of the ninth rank are only at the peak, so there is no doubt about the strength.
Tie Tang glanced at her and secretly sent a message to ask, but he did not get the answer he wanted.
The head of the Gou family was provoked in this way. Regardless of whether it was true or false, he himself did not want to contribute to the matter and simply took the opportunity to prepare to run away.
"Governor Tie, this place is not clean, and there are villains causing trouble. I know how serious you are, but my family has a lot of expenses, so I am really helpless.
In my opinion...there are so many heroes and martyrs here, one of them is missing me, and one more of me is not missing.
Hanfei is here to tell you what’s wrong!
And when my family is rich in the future, I will make up for this money in full."
After he finished speaking, without waiting for a reply from Tie Tang and others, he immediately started to leave.
"Master Gou, wait a minute..."
Gou Han had not taken two steps when he suddenly felt his right shoulder sinking, as if a piece of hardened meteorite was pressing down on his shoulder. His whole body was unbalanced and he almost fell over.
He looked back.
Tie Tang, who was sitting in the main seat, had arrived behind him at some point, and a broad, heavy palm came up to him.
I didn't see him making any moves. His own weight alone was already too much for Gou Hanfei in the Earth Witch Realm to bear.
This kind of terrifying body is extremely domineering and must have unimaginable power.
Gou Hanfei is not an ignorant person.
The two hadn't even fought each other yet, but the simple collision of their bodies made him feel a little afraid.
"Sir, this is..."
His words trembled slightly and his eyebrows were slightly startled.
Thinking about the man's previous words, Gou Hanfei was even more shocked, thinking that Tie Tang was going to take action against the Gou family now.
Unexpectedly, Tie Tang smiled slightly and didn't mention what he had just said at all. He just made a suggestion.
"Tie has heard about the Gou family for a long time and knows that the Gou family may have some difficulties despite its great business.
In this way, you make a written statement indicating that you are willing to pay for the formation.
But Mr. Tie understands your difficulty. There is no need to leave the money out of the family. Mr. Tie will make up for it personally for you. What do you think?"
Gou Hanfei's expression changed.
Does his Gou family lack a mere few hundred thousand yuan of life?
He has no shortage.
This move just shows an attitude, causing other aristocratic families attached to the Gou family to refuse to contribute money and efforts.
Same thing.
When Tie Tang set up the formation, he would not be short of money from one or two families. Even if the Lu family and the four major aristocratic families did not contribute money, that would not matter.
But he cannot lack money from hundreds or thousands of families.
If these leading aristocratic families do not express an attitude, and the vassal aristocratic families behind them will also follow suit, then this matter will not be done.
No matter how rich Tie Tang is, he can make up for the shortcomings of the Gou family, he can make up for the shortcomings of his boss's family, and even more than ten or twenty aristocratic families can accept it.
But he can’t make up for the gaps in all aristocratic families!
"This...it's better to discuss it again." Gou Hanfei pondered for a long time, naturally it was impossible for him to agree to Tie Tangli's written statement.
"We are about to discuss things here. Please take a seat, Master Gou!"
Tie Tang didn't force it. His goal had been achieved. He just needed to keep Gou Hanfei and discuss it slowly and in detail.
Gou Hanfei had no choice but to return to his seat, but said nothing and looked gloomy, as if everyone around him owed him money.
At this time, the head of the Yang family who had been interrupted earlier stood up and asked a fair question.
"Sir, I don't know what areas are involved in setting up the formation. Do you want us to cede the fields and houses?
If so...it's not because Yang doesn't want to, it's just that the land at home is left by his ancestors and cannot be given up easily.
You see..."
This issue is one of the issues that other neutral families are most concerned about besides money.
They are divided among the heroes in Qingshui City, and their respective geographical boundaries are clearly defined. In the past, they could fight to death for a foot or a foot of land, and they were full of strategies.
Now it is impossible for these people to give up their fields.
And about this issue.
Tie Tang had already discussed this with Fang Pengyi.
He took his time and took out a scroll from his arms and raised his hand.
Wow~
This scroll was spread out from mid-air and was about three feet long. It was divided into four directions: southeast, northwest, and depicts the entire Qingshui City area.
Among them, more than 200 red dots have been specially highlighted, accompanied by comments.
"This formation does not depend on the terrain, so you don't need to worry. The core point of the formation will be located in the county government office. In addition, the county government office, supervising the county residence, arsenal, and granary will also share some of the burden.
The areas that will be passed through are marked on the map. Array diagrams will be burned in these places and array bases will be set up.
These are just preliminary bids now and can be revised.
If there is a family involved in it but does not want to burn the formation map, you can raise it now and Tie will discuss it with Master Fang."
Everyone was watching, anxiously looking for their location above.
The heads of the four major families took a closer look and found that all the routes the formation took had nothing to do with their own main mansions.
Obviously Tie Tang had made arrangements in advance and blocked the mouths of the four major aristocratic families in advance to prevent them from causing trouble at this time.
However, two hundred and eighteen formation bases is not a small number. Even though Fang Pengyi tried his best to avoid it, many aristocratic families were still involved.
Some people have seen the red dots marked in their own area and are dissatisfied, but they dare not be the first to speak out. They wait for others to speak and then make noise themselves.
Some people think it's okay, they just burn the formation map and lay out the formation base. The area still belongs to them and there is no loss.
On the surface, no one has objected yet.
The person in charge of the Si family's visit today is Si Yuanlong, who is Si Guangji's son. Si Guangji went back the next day after completing his martial arts performance.
It is impossible for him to stay in Qingshui City forever. After all, he is the general of Zhenxi in Jiangdu Prefecture and is also responsible for military affairs.
And the relationship between Si Yuanlong and Tie Tang... is very deep.
That day in the outer world, he was the one who slashed Tie Tang with the ninth-grade shaman soldier Lengyue sword. Now that the sword is still in Tie Tang's hand, there is no need to say more about the resentment in Si Yuanlong's heart.
The Si family has the same attitude.
Resolutely oppose everything Tie Tang does!
At this time, Si Yuanlong saw that the above did not involve his own area, so he immediately changed his mind and quickly sent a message to other aristocratic families under his command, asking them to speak out against it.
This matter is not difficult to handle.
Originally, these aristocratic families also had some grudges, but now the Si family all spoke up, and people immediately started to push the boat forward.
"My lord, my place... I would like to ask your lord to discuss it again."
"Sir, it's not very convenient at home."
......
When someone speaks, someone immediately responds, and like a spark, it quickly develops into a prairie fire.
Tie Tang, his aristocratic family, and officials were quarreling with others and spitting was flying.
Until noon, the sun is shining brightly in the sky.
This meeting has no end, and the formation has not yet been finalized.
After everyone left, only the highest-ranking officials were left in the Hall.
Tie Tang frowned, feeling helpless, as if he was being entangled by thousands of causes and effects.
"What, now you know that this seat is not easy to sit in, right?" Li Qingwan rarely saw him like this, so she couldn't help teasing him.
Tie Tang was not willing to lag behind and insisted: "In fact, it's not difficult to sit down. As long as I'm not from Qingshui County, there are many ways to deal with them."
"If you were not from Qingshui County, how could you be the county governor? The court has already figured this out."
If the county guard is not a local, he will be unscrupulous and unscrupulous if he uses various methods such as encouraging the growth of young people and draining the lake for fishing. It is very likely to damage the foundation of a county if it is too harsh.
This is not their hometown anyway. No matter what happens, as long as they have merit on the surface, they can be promoted.
Even if something goes wrong, at worst, if you just pat your butt and walk away afterwards, you won't be able to blame yourself.
The imperial court understood this, so it stipulated that important positions such as county guards must be held by people from the county.
In this way, for the sake of your homeland, you will naturally have some scruples, and you will not go too far with certain methods.
"Hey, how can you teach me?" Tie Tang sighed, holding his forehead and feeling that it was really difficult to do a good thing.
Qiu Zhengyang asked: "What happened to the person who just spoke secretly? Is it possible to find this person out?"
Only Lu Zhengqing at the scene knew about Gou Zhen. The others did not know, so Tie Tang briefly explained the matter.
"I don't know who that person is, but he was probably the one who implicated the murder case in the Gou family and deliberately led me to deal with the Gou family."
After hearing this, Li Qingwan was furious: "Since Gou Zhen is still alive? This person who killed a thousand cuts should be killed by a thousand cuts. It's a good thing that he didn't die. We can't let him die so happily this time."
He Changsheng and Qiu Zhengyang were also shocked.
They naturally knew about this old case and even handled it personally. They never expected that a death row prisoner could live happily for twenty years under their noses.
As the chief county arrester, He Changsheng was also responsible for escaping from a death row prisoner, which constituted dereliction of duty.
He asked anxiously: "What are you going to do?"
"Although that person has malicious intentions, he is a naked conspiracy. I can't help but take it. I have no choice but to take this bitter pill.
It’s just that the guy who was seduced last night escaped and I won’t be able to find him for a while.”
Qiu Zhengyang knew Gou Zhen was a good person and made a suggestion.
"Gou Zhen's support is the Gou family. Even if he escapes, he won't be able to escape far. He will most likely have to return to the Gou family.
Later, Lao He and I will go explore the outside of Gou Mansion to see if we can find his aura."
"If Gou Zhen is captured, we must deal with the Gou family. Under the current situation, we will have a head-on conflict with the Gou family... The Si family will definitely take advantage of the situation. The Ji family is a dog-legged family and will also follow suit. In addition to the Yang family, these three families plus their affiliated forces... can easily stop you from setting up a formation."
Li Qingwan found out what happened and immediately figured out the clues.
Tie Tang rubbed his eyes and nose: "I also know this, but don't you want to catch Gou Zhen? I'm willing to let go, but I'm afraid you won't dare to let go, right?"
Several people looked at each other. If this matter were to be brought up, each of them would be responsible.
Lu Zhengqing nodded: "The top priority is to work together to see if we can find a solution that has both sides. As long as the formation falls, the Gou family won't have anything to worry about."
"By the way, Brother Lu, why wasn't your guy here?" Tie Tang was a little curious.
If the Lu family were here today and nodded in agreement first, they would undoubtedly take the limelight from the four major families and make some neutral families firmly stand in line.
In the end, they will become four major aristocratic families and join forces to fight against the others in Qingshui City. Things will obviously be much easier to handle.
Rather than like now, you and I are arguing with each other, and we can’t reach a conclusion after discussing it for a long time.
The Lu family is the first aristocratic family in Qingshui City and plays a very important role.
As long as it stands on Tie Tang's side and finalizes the formation, the four major families can defeat them one by one without becoming a problem.
"My father has been out since he met the Bodhisattva a few days ago. He hasn't said anything, not even a word of explanation. Now no one in the family dares to make the decision."
Lu Zhengqing vaguely guessed something, but he would not mention anything about the ancestor of the Lu family to outsiders.
"Tie Tang, if the formation is really impossible, let's put it aside for the time being, and wait until you can secure your position as the county guard and slowly eradicate those cancerous heel and legs.
These problems will eventually be solved one day, and whether or not to deploy the formation at that time is just a matter of your thoughts."
He Changsheng put forward a mature opinion. He was sincerely thinking about Tie Tang and was afraid that he would be too anxious and act out of proportion.
Tie Tang lowered his head so that everyone could not see his face and expression, just like dark clouds covering the sun and darkness gradually growing.
"Lord He, don't worry, I have my own backup plan."
"If I really can't make this happen...then I can only borrow money in my own name to set up a big formation. If anyone dares to block my way, I will no longer care about the feelings of my fellow countrymen.
You should know...Although Tie is from Qingshui County, he is not from Qingshui, but from Yuncheng!"
Several people were shocked when they heard this, and were shocked by the courage of the young man in front of them.
Although Tie Tang's words were simple, they revealed a strong murderous intent, just like the sword hidden in the scabbard, which could be pulled out at any time, displaying a world-shaking edge and a sword energy that would be astonishing.
What makes him different from everyone present is that, apart from his cultivation strength, qualifications and talents, the main thing is that he has no worries.
Tie Tang is not Li Qingwan or Lu Zhengqing. There is no aristocratic family behind him, so there is no need to worry about the expressions of anyone in Qingshui City.
Moreover, he was young and able to rule the roost, control an area, have heroic courage and supreme strength, and there was nothing he dared not do.
Coupled with the dual background of the government and the Supervisory Palace, you can really do whatever you want.
I gave you face, but some people don’t want it.
Then Tietang will not be what he is today.
Lu Zhengqing looked at each other and made a decision immediately.
"Sir, it's not convenient for you to come forward to deal with Gou Zhen, so why not let us do it for you?
With my name as the Lu family, plus the title of Inspection Department and Supervisory Hall, even if there is a conflict with the Gou family, it will not arouse the resentment of other aristocratic families."
Tie Tang raised his head and smiled: "Okay, I will leave this matter to you. I will go back and discuss it with Senior Fang to see what can be rectified."
"It's okay for you, sir, to go on your own."
Tie Tang didn't waste any time and walked out to greet the hall in a leisurely manner, leaving only a dazed figure behind.
"He is different than before..." He Changsheng sighed. Tie Tang's journey ahead could be said to have been promoted entirely by him, and he was most impressed by what he saw.
Li Qingwan said bluntly: "We are not at the top, and it is difficult to understand the thoughts of people like them. Maybe in their eyes, I am no different from ordinary people."
"He has changed since he returned from the Holy City. There is no need to worry about this matter.
But I don’t know why he is so enthusiastic and willing to spend his own money and effort to do such a thankless thing." Qiu Zhengyang couldn't figure it out.
Lu Zhengqing looked at the disappearing figure in front of the door, touched the thick fibrous roots of his chin, shook his head and sighed.
"When I was young, Ling Yunzhi was the best in the world!"
