After seeing Cai Qing's behavior, Gu Cheng realized that the lower class of Jingyesi was indeed very corrupt.
The supervisor was supposed to be the last layer of protection for Yasushi, but in the end he also had this kind of virtue. One can only imagine what Yasushi in Daqian is like.
In fact, Gu Cheng had already been vaguely aware of this principle when he was in Jiangnan County.
Li Tianqing has been serving as the governor of Jiangnan County for more than ten years. For such a long time, it is impossible for the Jingyesi headquarters not to send inspectors for routine inspections.
With the momentum that anyone with a long eye can see in Jiangnan County, no supervisor has reported it to the headquarters in more than ten years. It is conceivable what kind of people these people are. I am afraid they have been bribed by Li Tianqing a long time ago. Already.
When Cai Qing and others walked towards the inn, Gu Cheng walked up to the soldier leading the way and asked softly: "What's wrong? Is there anything wrong with this inn?"
The soldier scratched his head and said: "Although it is marked on the map that there is an inn ahead, this map is from a few years ago. In recent years, there have been frequent wars in the southwest, and there are many fewer merchants coming and going, even on those routes with a larger number of people. I’ve already lost a lot of money in inns, but why is this inn on the road still holding on? Isn’t the boss afraid of losing money?”
Gu Cheng raised his eyebrows slightly, but didn't say anything, and just followed the others into the inn.
The small inn was not big, with only seven or eight tables. There was not a single customer in the inn, and the proprietress was sleeping on the table.
Hearing the sound, the landlady raised her head, but the eyes of the escorting soldiers suddenly widened.
The boss was in his thirties, a mature age. Although his appearance was not absolutely beautiful, he was very charming. His big, watery eyes were filled with peach blossoms, which made him charming to the very top of people's hearts.
As she stretched, the wide coarse cloth dress could not hide her graceful waist and the white and tender breasts that were inadvertently exposed, causing the soldiers to swallow their saliva.
Of course, others didn't feel anything. As Cai Qing's governor, when he went to inspect any state capital, the local commander would often send women to his bed. He still had this sense of determination.
As for Long Shiqi, his eyes were as dull as a dead fish. Gu Cheng hadn't heard him say a word in the past few days. He was just like a machine puppet.
As for the old general of Qin Ming Dynasty, maybe he is not good at women, maybe... he is weak-minded.
As for Gu Cheng, he read countless movies in his previous life, but in this life his heart is as calm as water.
"Madam boss, are you still doing business?"
When the landlady saw so many customers coming, she suddenly smiled and said, "Of course I do, but I haven't had so many customers for a long time.
Hey guys, why don’t you come and greet the guests quickly?”
As the charming proprietress said hello, more than a dozen inn waiters immediately ran out from the back hall to greet everyone.
Qin Ming calmly said to Gu Cheng and Cai Qing, "Have you ever noticed something was wrong?"
Gu Cheng and Cai Qing shook their heads at the same time.
Both of them were from Jingyesi and were professionals. They really didn't notice anything unusual among the people in this inn.
But Gu Cheng frowned. Although he didn't find any problem, he couldn't say that there was nothing wrong with this place.
For such a big inn, it may not be crowded for ten days and a half, but it still has so many waiters. I'm afraid it's a loss.
Moreover, those waiters are also a bit weird, each one is short in stature and ugly in appearance, like a dwarf.
It's not that Gu Cheng has any discrimination against people with physical disabilities, but it's normal, but it's not normal for so many people to gather together.
And the proprietress of the inn, who is so charming and charming and dares to open an inn and show her face, isn't she afraid of something happening?
You must know that this land in the southwest is not peaceful. If it is not kept safe, there will be bandits and the like who are motivated by lust.
"Old general, be careful." Gu Cheng said again.
Qin Ming nodded, sat down with a big sword, and said in a deep voice: "Bring us all the drinks and food, and prepare a few more rooms."
Everyone sat down, but one of the soldiers took out a pile of dry food and threw it on the ground in front of Xiao Kaishan. He said angrily: "Eat it, are you still waiting for me to feed you good wine and meat?"
The dry food flour cake fell to the ground. Xiao Kaishan was chained up and it was difficult to bend down. How could he pick it up?
He glanced at the soldier with his slightly closed eyes. It was just a faint glance without any murderous intention, but it made the soldier's heart beat wildly and he couldn't help but take half a step back.
But then he remembered that this guy was now banned from the whole body and was not as good as an ordinary person. He stepped on the pancake and cursed angrily: "You have become a prisoner and you still dare to show off? If you don't want to eat, you will starve to the capital."
!”
These soldiers were not willing to escort a dangerous person like him, but they had no choice but to do it as ordered by Shangguan, but at this time they also expressed their anger on Xiao Kaishan.
Gu Chengyi frowned, walked over and said calmly: "That's enough, is it fun to humiliate such a strong man?"
When the soldier saw Gu Cheng's words, he immediately said: "It's boring, it's boring."
Cai Qing sneered at the side and said: "Gu Cheng, you really sympathize with this rebel. I heard that you also worked under Fang Zhenhai, the great rebel in Nanyi County, and you still haven't forgotten yourself.
Identity?"
Gu Cheng glanced at him and said calmly: "The dignity of the strong should not be lightly insulted. If you want to kill, then kill, if you want to cut, then cut into pieces. Do you think this kind of humiliation is interesting? If you fall into this situation in the future, will you be willing to do this?"
Cai Qinggang was about to say something, but Qin Ming also turned around and said, "Master Gu is right. Although Xiao Kaishan is an important criminal of the imperial court, there is no need to humiliate him like this.
On the battlefield, you can kill enemies but you cannot kill prisoners, let alone humiliate them. Is this what your superiors taught you?"
Not only did Qin Ming speak, but Long Qiqi, who had not said a word along the way, turned his gaze to Cai Qing and looked at him with dull eyes. Cai Qing immediately stopped talking.
They are all Grandmaster-level beings. No matter what their positions are, when they reach the fifth-grade Grandmaster level, they are no longer small figures in the world. Each one of them is a being who can start a sect and defeat thousands of armies.
Existences of this level naturally have some pride. Even if they have different stances and kill each other, there is no need to humiliate each other, especially if they are humiliated by a low-level person.
Gu Cheng took out a piece of dried meat from his arms and handed it to Xiao Kaishan's mouth and said, "Eat this."
The reason why he spoke for Xiao Kaishan was not because of the Fighting Heaven Alliance. Even if he didn't know that the Fighting Heaven Alliance wanted to recruit him, he couldn't bear to see such a hero of the world being so humiliated.
Xiao Kaishan tore open the dried meat and swallowed it, and said solemnly: "Thank you very much."
This was the first time Xiao Kaishan spoke in the past few days. His voice was deep and deep, without any emotion, as if he was not the person who was going to be escorted to the capital for trial and would almost die.
"Have you ever served under Fang Zhenhai?" Xiao Kaishan suddenly asked.
Gu Cheng was stunned for a moment, then said: "Xiao...Senior, have you heard about this too? Fang Zhenhai is traveling with you."
Xiao Kaishan shook his head and said: "We are not walking on the same road. He had a way of life, but he took him to death. But I am walking on a dead end. No matter how I walk, there is no chance of life."
Gu Cheng was stunned again. He didn't expect Xiao Kaishan to see it so clearly.
What he said is right, Fang Zhenhai has a chance to survive. The place in Nanjiu County is more chaotic than the southwest. If he keeps a low profile, slowly becomes the king, and secretly gradually unifies the rebel forces in the entire Nanjiu County, maybe he will be the leader in the future.
There is really a chance to hit the Central Plains directly with just one shot.
But the result was that Fang Zhenhai was blinded by the desire for power, and swept through the whole county in a high-profile way. There were endless internal fights, and his only way to survive was to kill him.
And Xiao Kaishan was just like Qiu Erniang said, he knew that he was on a dead end, and as long as he openly rebelled, he would definitely die, but he still did it, even more high-profile than Fang Zhenhai, in order to shock the southwest.
The power of the local court prevented them from continuing to act recklessly.
Just when Gu Cheng was about to say something, Qin Ming suddenly said: "Master Gu, don't talk too much to this person. He, Xiao Kaishan, can take the southwest by storm and is very eloquent. If you listen to him talk too much, I'm afraid
It will affect yourself."
Gu Cheng smiled, did not continue talking to Xiao Kaishan, and sat back.
Gu Cheng deceived people and fooled ghosts. He survived many crises along the way. Seven points depended on his fists and three points depended on his deceitful mouth. Can he be influenced by people's words? Just kidding!
At this time, the dwarf waiters at the inn brought out plates of wine and food, including large fish and meat, which made the soldiers who had been eating dry food for three days salivate.
"The dishes are ready. Please use them, sir."
The waiter put down his plate and was about to leave, but was suddenly caught by Gu Cheng.
"Do you have any other instructions, sir?"
The dwarf waiter asked with an awkward smile.
Gu Cheng smiled half-heartedly and said, "You have a lot of ingredients in this dish. Buy one and get one free?"
A ray of Buddha's light suddenly bloomed in Gu Cheng's hand. He reached into the roast chicken in front of him and pinched out a bug.
The insect was very strange. It seemed to be both solid and ethereal. It was obviously an insect, but the head actually seemed to be a human face.
Cai Qing suddenly exclaimed: "It's ghost Gu!"
He is the supervisor of the Southwest. Although he has been pampered for so many years, he still worked his way up from the bottom and has a lot of experience.
Witchcraft and Gu are popular in Xiangxi, one of the four southwest counties, especially in the Miao border area of Xiangxi.
This ghost voodoo is also extremely rejected among orthodox voodoos because it is too vicious.
It is necessary to extract the soul of a living person, then divide the person's soul into countless parts and infuse it into various poisonous insects using secret methods, and then let these poisonous insects kill each other to raise the final poisonous insect. This poisonous insect is a ghost poison.
Humans are neither ghosts nor insects, born out of resentment and killing, extremely vicious and vicious!
