From the beginning, Gu Cheng had no intention of playing any normal tricks with Shen Wanan, but was prepared to strike first and take the initiative in his own hands.
After Gu Cheng's series of questions, Shen Wan'an was immediately confused and had no time to respond.
From his disbelief when he learned that Qiu Youde was from Luo Jiao, to his anger when Gu Cheng killed Qiu Youde's men in front of him, to now when he heard that Gu Cheng wanted to report this matter, Shen Wanan had already Somewhat panicked.
Gu Cheng did not say that he wanted to report to the Jingyesi headquarters in the capital, but that he wanted to report to the 'sir' above him who even he himself did not know who he was.
This directly transformed the matter from Shen Wanan's neglect of duty and letting Luo Jiao infiltrate it to that of Gu Cheng being wronged in Taikang County and asking for an explanation, and it changed from a public matter to a private matter.
The same thing said differently gives people a completely different feeling. The former will make Shen Wanan jump over the wall and use various methods to cover up the matter to prevent it from spreading, but the latter will make Shen Wanan feel that Gu Cheng is People are also 'selfish' people who don't care about the overall situation and only consider their own interests.
Since everyone is a "selfish" person, it is easy to solve it, at least it is better than pointing everything at the top.
Not to mention all the governors in Nanjiu County, at least most of them have the character of Shen Wanan. It has to be said that this is a bit sad, but Gu Cheng has no choice but to do this.
After all, although he is now a member of the Heaven Confrontation Alliance, he doesn't even know who the adult above him is.
However, he adopted such a domineering attitude as soon as he came up, which already convinced Shen Wanan, who was suspicious and cautious, that he, Gu Cheng, had a backing.
Can someone without a backing become the commander-in-chief of Guangling City and temporarily take charge of Nanyi County after overthrowing Fang Zhenhai?
How dare a person with no backing act so arrogantly in front of him, the governor, and even ask for justice?
So after Gu Cheng said this series of questions, Shen Wanan was not angry, but comforted: "Master Gu, calm down first. This Qiu Youde has been in Taikang County all the time. He has even been in Taikang County longer than me. Why?" Maybe they are from Luo Jiao? Is there any misunderstanding in this?"
Gu Cheng pretended to be angry and snorted: "Misunderstanding? Counting Qiu Youde, I killed the two incense masters of Luo Jiao. How can there be a misunderstanding?
After all, Nanjiu County is still a place of the imperial court. How can we tolerate the Luo Jiao being so arrogant?
If Mr. Shen doesn’t give me an explanation today, this matter will not be settled so easily!”
Hearing that Gu Cheng just wanted an explanation, Shen Wanan breathed a sigh of relief and asked: "Whether Qiu Youde is from Luo Jiao or not, there must be an explanation for Master Gu being attacked in my jurisdiction. , I don’t know what you want, Mr. Gu?”
Gu Cheng restrained his anger, squinted his eyes and said: "Master Shen, it's not that I have to deal with others. In fact, this matter is still a good thing. Fortunately, I encountered this matter today, and Qiu Youde's true face was revealed. Otherwise, if he plots evil against you, it would not be a good thing to have such a spy by your side. After all, I have been a spy.
Moreover, if he is discovered by the inspector from the capital, it will be a bigger trouble and affect his official career.
It's better to do this. As long as you promise me something, Mr. Shen, I won't know anything.
I don’t know if Qiu Youde is from the Luo Sect, but he could die accidentally at any time while slaying demons.”
"Oh? What happened?"
Gu Cheng said in a deep voice: "Luo Jiao is targeting me this time, I will definitely never end this matter with Luo Jiao!
I have asked before that the Luo Jiao's power in Taikang County is not very strong, and its leaders are not here, so I would like to ask Mr. Shen to send troops to join me in strangulating the Luo Jiao branch in Taikang County. I will take credit afterwards. Half for everyone!"
Shen Wanan suddenly frowned, there was absolutely no way he could agree to what Gu Cheng said.
After staying in Taikang County for such a long time, although he didn't care much about other places except Ning'an Mansion, he could feel that there was a Luo Jiao branch in Taikang County, and there were many Luo Jiao disciples active, but he did not go there. Tube.
One is too much to handle, and the other is too troublesome.
As long as Luo Jiao doesn't make too much trouble, he won't take action. If he offends those lunatics, they will cause troubles every three days, and his position as the governor will not be secure.
In Shen Wan'an's view, Gu Cheng is a crazy person who puts profits above all else. He is extremely utilitarian and will do anything to climb up the ladder.
He dared to take on a mission like undercover Fang Zhenhai's near-death mission, and now he dares to risk everything to provoke Luo Jiao's gang of lunatics for a little credit. He is a lunatic himself!
Shen Wan'an would rather not take these credits than go crazy with Gu Cheng, so he shook his head and said: "Impossible, I don't want to provoke Luo Jiao's gang of lunatics, so I'd better give these credits to you, Mr. Gu.
I, Jingyesi of Taikang County, will not take action, but I will give you a temporary warrant. You can take people into Taikang County. No one from Jingyesi of Taikang County will intervene wherever you go, and you will do whatever you want. "
Gu Cheng pretended to be unwilling, thought for a moment and said: "Since Mr. Shen, you don't want to, then forget it. Today I will give you a face, Mr. Shen, and this matter will be considered over."
In fact, what Gu Cheng was waiting for was Shen Wanan's words.
Based on the rumors he had about Shen Wanan's character, Shen Wanan would never agree to such a thing.
So he set extremely harsh conditions as soon as he came up. At this time, Shen Wanan's counter-offer was successful, and he seemed to have taken advantage.
After getting the token, Gu Cheng directly handed it over and said: "Since that's the case, I won't bother you anymore. I will go back immediately to prepare for the elimination of the Luo Jiao branch.
I haven't disposed of the corpses in Shunzhou Mansion yet. It's up to you, Mr. Shen, to deal with them for any reason, so I won't get involved."
Shen Wanan let out a long breath, and sent Gu Cheng out as if sending off the plague. He also cupped his hands and said, "Master Gu, please go slowly, I won't send you more."
After such a series of events, Shen Wanan had long forgotten his anger when he first learned about Qiu Youde's death, and even wanted to find the person and demand justice.
He even has to help Gu Cheng deal with the funeral arrangements of the body now, covering up everything.
Of course, in his opinion, he took advantage of this, at least he didn't give Gu Cheng too many conditions.
Gu Cheng's performance has established a "personality" in Shen Wanxin, that is, a crazy person who does whatever it takes and only pursues fame and profit.
Such a guy is a trouble, and if you can send him away smoothly, you are already taking advantage.
The Xuanjia guard who had just reported the news scratched his head and murmured: "Why do I feel that something is wrong? This Gu Cheng, who has achieved great fame in Nanyi County, is this kind of person?"
Shen Wanan said calmly: "Otherwise, what kind of person do you think he is? I have been working together in Jingyesi for decades, from north to south, dealing with monsters and ghosts all day long, and the precarious Xuanjia Guard, to now Who has never seen the governor who governs a county?
There are not many people like Gu Cheng in Jingyesi. They are young people who are energetic and utilitarian. They only want to climb up, but they are always walking on a tightrope, making dangerous moves.
Look, the higher a person like this climbs, the worse he will fall."
After finishing speaking, Shen Wanan waved his hand and said: "Go and send someone to dispose of the body in Shunzhou Prefecture. When you report it, you will say that Qiu Youde was killed by a demon."
After giving the instructions, Shen Wanan went back to read his Taoist scriptures with his hands behind his back.
Now he suddenly felt that he seemed to know what it meant to treat things by doing nothing.
At this time, after Gu Cheng successfully deceived or put on a show in front of Shen Wanan, he immediately prepared to return to Nanyi County to mobilize troops and enter Taikang County to destroy the Luo Jiao branch.
When Gu Cheng told Qiu Youde, he was testing the situation, but when he told Shen Wanan, he was serious.
There are definitely many people under Qiu Youde's command who belong to Luo Jiao. Although Gu Cheng killed a few, there must be still more.
Therefore, the fact that Gu Cheng killed two incense masters in Luo Jiao's Taikang County branch must have spread to his branch at this time.
Gu Cheng acted a bit utilitarian and crazy in front of Shen Wanan, but in fact Gu Cheng's mentality was indeed a bit extreme.
Either don't do some things, or do them to the best of your ability.
If the Luo Jiao didn't come to provoke him, he would naturally not take the initiative to provoke the Luo Jiao's crazy shoe cult.
But since the two incense masters of Luo Jiao have been killed at this time, the helmsman will definitely cause trouble for him when he comes back.
If you kill one and two, you can kill a group of them!
Just keep doing nothing and take away one of Luo Jiao's branches!
As for the funeral, by the time the helmsman of the Luo Jiao branch came back and found that he had become the bare helmsman and wanted to trouble him, Gu Cheng would have already gone to the capital to take up his post.
Moreover, when Gu Cheng went to touch Luo Jiao's branch, he also wanted to know why Luo Jiao's branch was eyeing his half of the dragon-attributed Mountain and Sea Sword Classic.
The other party is not for the Dragon-Attributed Mountain and Sea Sword Manual itself, but for something behind it.
For practitioners, curiosity is a very dangerous thing, but it also represents an opportunity.
Luo Jiao's behavior of steering the ship aroused Gu Cheng's curiosity.
After returning to Nanyi County, Gu Cheng immediately asked Taoist Mengshan and Lan Caidie to gather their strength and follow him to Taikang County. Huang Laojiao was still stationed on the Qulan River.
Hearing that Gu Cheng was about to move Luo Jiao's helm, the three of them all looked horrified.
Although they had always known that Gu Cheng was very courageous, they did not expect that Gu Cheng's courage would be so bold.
Not to mention that the current power of the Nanyi County court is just an empty shell, not even a grandmaster level existence.
Even when the Jingyesi Division in Nanyi County was well established, they were not willing to provoke those lunatics from the Luo Jiao.
