Chapter 211: The rain is coming, and the ground is thundering
Within the Siji Sect of Nanyi County.
Su Xuanji looked at the news about Gu Cheng in his hand, and he couldn't help but sigh.
Nanjiu County is really a place full of disasters, and there is never a peaceful time.
The imperial court was driven away by Fang Zhenhai. As a result, Fang Zhenhai was killed by the imperial people after he did not persist for a few months.
It was Gu Cheng's turn to take over, and he finally felt stable for a while. But now that something like this happened again, it seems that the person in charge of Nanyi County is about to be replaced again.
An elder from the Siji Sect said: "Sect Master, it is best for us, the Siji Sect, not to get involved in this matter. Luo Jiao took action with anger at this time, and has already begun to publicly offer rewards to people in the court. I am afraid that if I intervene now,
Something is wrong."
Su Xuanji sighed: "Of course I know it's wrong. Besides, even if I want to intervene, our Siji Sect must have this strength, right? Forget it, let's just wait and see what happens."
In fact, Su Xuanji still had a good impression of Gu Cheng. At least the interests of the Siji Sect were not harmed when he was managing Nanyi County.
Gu Cheng has a bit of a gangster habit in his work. Unlike the people in the previous court who either started to suppress the interests of the gangs or were indifferent, he is not like Fang Zhenhai who is too reckless and domineering. Instead, he can balance it.
The interests of all parties involved, as long as you don't make an enemy of him, basically Gu Cheng will not let you suffer.
It's not a good feeling that Nanyi County has finally adapted to one person, and now it's time to change someone.
At the same time, within the Wang family, Wang Kaizhi naturally received the news.
Wang Lin shouted from the side: "Dad, Brother Gu has a good relationship with my Wang family. Those lunatics from Luo Jiao are making trouble for him. Why should our Wang family help?"
Wang Yuan was much calmer, but he also said in a deep voice: "Father, considering Brother Gu's relationship with my Wang family and his character, if our Wang family can help him this time, Brother Gu will definitely be there in the future.
It has opened the door to my Wang family in many ways.
With the imperial court openly helping my Wang family, the weight of our Wang family in Nanyi County can surpass that of the Siji Sect in a short period of time."
Wang Kaizhi smiled bitterly and said: "Do you think I don't want to take action? But the question is what should I take action with?
Thousands of years ago, what was Luo Jiao?
Five hundred years ago, my Wang family had the strength to compete with Luo Jiao.
Three hundred years ago, my Wang family still had some weight if I came forward.
A hundred years ago, when Luo Jiao wanted to take action in Nanyi County, he also wanted to inform my Wang family in advance.
But what about now? To be realistic, Luo Jiao has long stopped paying attention to our Wang family, and even some of Luo Jiao’s stronger co-rulers and our Wang family don’t dare to touch it, so how can we take action?”
Wang Yuan sighed and clenched his fists, feeling a little aggrieved.
King Qingfeng Xie Wangu Zhuan, when did the Wang family decline to this point?
Even Wang Lin, who was usually laughing and joking and just eating, drinking and having fun, felt a little bit of pressure at this time.
With the protection of the Wang family, he can eat, drink and have fun without any worries, but what if the Wang family is gone in the future? He himself is also a member of the Wang family.
Wang Lin looked into the distance and thought to himself, Brother Gu, please wish yourself well.
In Taikang County, Shen Wanan, as a member of Jingyesi, was naturally more sensitive to information. When he heard the news, he was stunned for a moment, and then burst into laughter.
"Young and energetic, you don't know how high the sky is! At that time, I said that the higher he climbed, the worse he would fall. Now it seems that his fall was worse than I imagined."
A confidant beside him asked: "Sir, do we care about this matter?"
Shen Wanan glanced at him sideways and snorted: "What the hell? What the hell!"
His confidant hesitated and said: "But our Taikang County and Nanyi County are connected, and they are both from Jingyesi. What if the capital headquarters sends someone down to accuse us of not taking action?"
Shen Wanan waved his hand nonchalantly: "Let's just say that I have been busy killing demons and ghosts during this period. Those people in the capital can't stand and talk without pain. They really think that we are just like them, drinking tea every day in the capital headquarters. ?
By the way, there is a good opera troupe in the city recently, please come over and sing a great opera for me for a few days."
In the lobby of the Yizi Zhengqi Alliance, a middle-aged man who appeared to be wearing an ordinary tight-fitting samurai uniform sat in the center.
Although he is dressed like a member of the lowest class, he is tall and majestic and has an extraordinary bearing. He is Chen Kaishan, the current leader of the Yizi Zhengqi Alliance.
Before he bowed his head, the middle-aged man who had stopped Gu Cheng before sneered: "That guy was so arrogant back then, what about now? What bad luck? It's really retribution!"
Chen Kaishan said calmly: "During this period, you will be in charge of the affairs within the Yizi Zhengqi Alliance. I want to go to Nanyi County."
The middle-aged man said in surprise: "Leader, the Luo Jiao has already begun to offer a reward for Gu Cheng. There should be a master-level being who will personally take action. What are you going to do? Let the people of the Luo Jiao kill him without getting dirty. Isn’t that bad if you take our hands off?”
Chen Kaishan said solemnly: "Wantong Auction House has begun to rebuild, but the scale is not as good as before.
In fact, it was the right time to kill Gu Cheng. If he didn't take action, I was ready to kill that guy Jin Wu, but he paid less and less attention to us. What's the use of a disobedient dog? ?
But I am also planning to build an auction house in Nanyi County, imitating the model of Wantong Auction House, and secretly training people to manage it.
Although Jin Wu's old dog is disobedient, the pattern he came up with is still good.
I, the Zhengqi Alliance, always need a reason to enter Nanyi County, and Gu Cheng's incident is the reason for me to wait. It adds insult to injury and also leaves a group of people there.
I am a righteous person, but I am very short of money now."
What forces like the Yizi Zhengqi Alliance lack most is money.
They are not an aristocratic family, they have no heritage, they are not a sect, and they have no industry that can be passed down.
But the Yizi Zhengqi Alliance still pretends to be extremely generous. People in the world turn to them for help when they have difficulties. You, Alliance Leader Chen, have such a great reputation, will you help or not?
If you see someone worth recruiting, you will have to spend a lot of money to recruit him, so everything Chen Kaishan cares about now is money, and he just took advantage of Gu Cheng's opportunity to intervene in Nanyi County!
………………
A few days had passed since the news of the wanted order. While Nanjiu County was in a state of excitement, some people were seriously moved, and they all gathered towards Nanyi County and Guangling City.
For these low-life Jianghu people in Nanjiu County, you can call them timid. People like Chen Jishen will definitely be the first to escape if they encounter danger.
But you can say they are brave. As long as the benefits are sufficient, they will even dare to risk their lives.
What does it mean to kill an official? What does it mean to rebel?
For these true desperadoes, only if the reward is high enough, they would dare to stab the emperor in front of him.
So in the past few days, many people have gathered together and prepared to take action. People from all major forces are watching what Gu Cheng will do.
Anyway, in their opinion, under normal circumstances Gu Cheng only has two options.
One is to seek support from the imperial court. Although the probability is not high, no one in Jingyesi in Nanjiu County is willing to cause trouble, but there is still a slight chance.
Another option is to flee Nanyi County directly. Although he will be punished by the court, at least he still has a chance to save his life.
But Gu Cheng's choice was somewhat beyond their expectations.
Gu Cheng did not ask for help from the imperial court, nor did he choose to escape. Instead, he waited for them in Guangling City with such arrogance, and even started patrolling the streets every day. The only difference was that Gu Cheng began to issue orders to the people in Guangling City.
Stay at home for now and don't show up around the general's mansion.
Seven days later, a drizzle began to fall again in Nanyi County where the weather was changeable, making the entire sky look foggy and gloomy.
There were many Jianghu people sitting on the top floor of the restaurant in the city, including those from the Siji Sect and the Wang family. Anyway, all the sects and forces in Nanyi County were there, and even Xiao Quan from Qinglong Village came here in disguise.
They all wanted to come over and see a result, although they had already guessed the result.
"coming!"
Someone shouted low, and everyone immediately turned their attention to the city gate.
The entire city defense of Guangling City was withdrawn by Gu Cheng. Gu Cheng did not want any casualties, but in the eyes of others, Gu Cheng's move seemed to give up on treatment and give up on himself.
In the drizzle, I saw strange-looking Jianghu people approaching the city one after another. There were dozens of people, and several of them could be named.
Among them was a middle-aged man with a pale complexion, wearing something like a shroud. In his hand, he was carrying two boys and girls made of paper. They looked strange and were dotted with blush. When the raindrops fell on the boys and girls, they turned red.
There was a trace of blood flowing.
Bai Hanxing, the 'papermaker', possesses an evil secret technique passed down from his ancestors. He can seal living souls in paper figures, which is extremely evil.
Next to him is a bare-chested strong man, surrounded by evil spirits, carrying a ghost-headed decapitation knife as tall as a person.
'Blood Slaughter' Zhang Meng was originally the executioner under the Red Kite Army, a rebel army that swept through the southern nine counties. He once beheaded tens of thousands of people in one day. After the Red Kite Army was destroyed, he wandered in the rivers and lakes. He was so evil that monsters did not dare to bully him, and ghosts did not dare to bully him.
close.
On the other side was a stooped old Taoist priest, wearing a golden robe, coughing from time to time, as if he was about to die in the next moment.
'Living Death Taoist' Shi Gongyi secretly learned the Wu family's pulse-cutting and ghost-refining technique in western Hunan, but like a madman, he replaced his whole body, including the internal organs, with the body of a ghost. It was no longer possible to tell whether it was a living person or a dead person.
, the Wu family in western Hunan once sent people to hunt him down, but three groups of people were killed in a row, so they had to give up in the end.
There were faint sounds of crying coming from the crowd, and it turned out to be a child holding a mourning stick, with a sad face, as if his biological father had died.
'The Crying Boy' Deng Yuan, of course, is not a child, but a dwarf born and will not grow up. He looks like he is seven or eight years old. In his early years, he cried and mourned for others, attracting ghosts to possess him. After unexpectedly surviving, he found himself
Being able to swallow living souls to practice, he has already lost countless lives under his mourning stick.
Seeing the appearance of these low-class people with surnames and surnames in the land of Nanjiu County, the expressions of everyone present changed.
If there were no master-level beings to take action, these people would have razed all the sects except the Wang family and the Siji Sect.
