When it comes to Gu Cheng's destruction of Dao Xuanzong, it doesn't matter whether it's black or white. What's important is Xie Anzhi's attitude.
So from the beginning, Gu Cheng never thought of defending himself.
He didn't say how much Dao Xuanzong went too far, nor did he say that he killed people to save others, because these were important to him, but not important to Xie Anzhi, the governor.
Gu Cheng can guarantee that if he defends like this, he will definitely be severely punished in the end.
You Gu Cheng saves people and kills people for the sake of the overall situation, so what does he do as a governor? A jobber?
Cui Zijie asked Gu Cheng not to go against Xie Anzhi's will. Not only did Gu Cheng not go against his will, he also sent his fame and benefits to you, the governor. Do you want it?
Gu Cheng can guarantee that Xie Anzhi wants it.
Not because he is greedy, but because what Xie Anzhi wants is obedient subordinates.
No matter what your abilities are, or whether you are black or white, as long as you are obedient enough in the entire Donglin County, you can get away with it.
After Gu Cheng said these words, Xie Anzhi seemed to have seen something interesting. The anger on his face gradually disappeared, and he said with a faint smile:
"What you say is better than what you sing. You said it all, but you are all for me, and you don't make any mistakes?"
Gu Cheng lowered his head and said in a deep voice: "Of course my subordinate is at fault. The fault lies in my limited ability. I wanted to solve the trouble for you, but I didn't expect that I didn't do it right. Instead, I let the trouble get to you and caused trouble for you.
Right is right and wrong is wrong. If I am willing to be punished, this kind of thing will never happen again in the future!"
Xie Anzhi was stunned for a moment, then suddenly laughed and said: "Hahaha! Interesting, interesting, I heard that you were promoted by Meng Hantang? You and Meng Hantang really don't look alike at all."
"Master Meng has his own ways, and his subordinates have their own ways, but the only thing that remains unchanged is that we are all members of the Jingyesi Division of Donglin County, and we all follow your leadership."
Xie Anzhi waved his hand and said calmly: "Okay, let's all disperse. The merits and demerits are equal to each other. The credit for destroying the ghost realm will not be given to Donglin County.
You can keep some of the things from Daoxuanzong that you can use, and transport the rest directly to Lin'an City."
Xie Anzhi actually didn't attach much importance to those things from Daoxuanzong.
He is the governor of a county, so why would he covet Dao Xuanzong's wealth? These things are not even the icing on the cake for him.
What he really values is attitude, Gu Cheng's attitude.
Donglin County Jingyesi respects him, and what he wants is this kind of absolute obedience from the people below.
After Xie Anzhi left, Chen Mazi and others looked at Gu Cheng with strange expressions.
They are all old men from Jingyesi in Donglin County, and they know what Xie Anzhi's character is.
Although the other person looks good and rarely seems to get angry, if someone does something wrong or disobeys him, it will definitely not end well.
Gu Cheng is one of the few people who can escape unharmed after committing a crime. He even seemed to make Xie Anzhi very happy?
After everyone left, Cui Zijie wiped the cold sweat on his head and whispered: "I asked you, can you stop playing so exciting every time?
How dare you think of playing tricks with the Governor!
What would you do if the governor had a moody character? He might kill you on the spot.
If a governor wants to kill a night watchman, he doesn't even need to report to his superiors, he can kill him if he wants."
Gu Cheng twitched his lips and said in a low voice: "It is precisely because I know this gentleman's character that I dare to say this.
And I suspect that the governor may have maintained this behavior on purpose, so I just need to cater to his behavior."
"On purpose? What do you mean?"
Gu Cheng whispered: "This lord has shown his personality and preferences so obviously. What he wants is for the people below to agree with him according to his preferences and behavior. No matter whether things are right or wrong, only this lord is right."
of.
Regardless of the reputation spread by the outside world, only those who are willing to do this are considered his people and obedient people. If you are unwilling, then there is no need to say more."
To put it bluntly, what Xie Anzhi is doing is a somewhat subtle way of referring to a deer as a horse.
He really can't listen to any different opinions, can't distinguish between right and wrong, and can't understand right and wrong?
Not necessarily, but only when he asks you to express your opinion, you can say it, and when he asks you to distinguish between right and wrong, you can distinguish.
After doing this kind of thing for a long time, you will naturally be able to filter out who is obedient and who is disobedient.
Just like when he let Gu Cheng go this time, it wasn't because Gu Cheng did something right or wrong, but because Gu Cheng behaved very 'obediently'.
Cui Zijie was able to take root in Heyang Mansion not because he was obedient, but because he was naughty enough. Although he sometimes disagreed with the governor's opinions, he never contradicted him openly.
Secretly, he still goes his own way.
But it was obvious that his behavior was not very pleasing in the eyes of the governor, and its weight was limited.
Cui Zijie sighed and shook his head helplessly.
With such a boss, he also felt a little tired. Should he also find an opportunity to be transferred to the capital and stop being such a useless commander?
However, such thoughts only appeared for a moment before Cui Zijie threw them out of the sky.
He is not Meng Handang or Tie Tianying. He can give up his power and pursue martial arts wholeheartedly. He would rather go to the capital and become a black armor guard.
He had been running Heyang Prefecture Jingyesi for more than ten years, and he couldn't bear to give up.
"Okay, I have survived this time. Don't take such risks next time. Go back to Heyang Mansion."
Gu Cheng then said: "Sir, can you stay in Lin'an City for one more day? I want to buy some things."
What Gu Cheng wants to buy is the materials for refining the five ghosts to carry.
Although the materials exchanged from Jingyesi of Heyang Prefecture were sufficient, they were a bit too low-level, which also led to the slow refining speed. It took half a month to complete one and a half.
This time when he came to Ancheng, Gu Cheng was also ready to change into something good.
"Okay, then you can go ahead. We will return to Heyang Mansion tomorrow."
Compared with Heyang Mansion, Lin'an City has a stronger atmosphere for practitioners, and there is even a market dedicated to trading for practitioners.
Because some of the things used by practitioners have a price but no market, it is not appropriate to trade with silver, so they barter, and the hard currency is elixirs.
Yes, Daqian officially prohibits the trading of any spiritual elixirs, but in Lin'an City, elixirs are blatantly used as hard currency transactions. The reason is that any store opened in Lin'an City's Neifang City
Stores must pay 30% of their profits to Xie Anzhi.
Of course, this is all trivial. The governor's methods of amassing money are more than that.
If someone commits a crime in Lin'an City, Jingyesi will arrest him directly and pay bail first. Whoever pays more will be released first, and whoever pays less will be fined heavily.
In this way, both parties involved are almost scrambling to pay the money, fearing that they will be the one with the least.
So later on, the public security in Lin'an City really became much better, because most people could fight, but they couldn't.
Although Gu Cheng has no shortage of money, he has enough money for food, drink, housing and transportation, but it is not enough to buy such cultivation materials.
However, when wiping out Daoxuan Sect, Gu Cheng also took those pills. With this kind of hard currency, Gu Cheng successfully exchanged all the materials he wanted.
Just as Gu Cheng was about to leave, he saw an acquaintance. To be more precise, he just knew someone.
"Taoist Master Qiu also came to La'an Mansion to purchase cultivation resources?"
What Gu Cheng saw was none other than Qiu Liandong from Changchun Temple.
Although Gu Cheng didn't say a few words to the other party, he still had a good impression of Qiu Liandong.
At least the last time the Changle Gang met, the other party did not enmity with me, and his performance was always low-key.
He even presided over the funeral of Changle Gang leader Ji Haiya, which made Gu Cheng feel that this person was also a kind person.
Qiu Liandong trembled violently when he heard this, and after recognizing Gu Cheng, he let out a sigh of relief: "It turns out to be Mr. Gu.
Since there are still things going on within the sect, I won’t talk to you anymore, Mr. Gu. I’ll see you again when I have the chance.”
After a few words of greeting, Qiu Liandong turned around and left politely, obviously not wanting to talk to Gu Cheng any more.
Gu Cheng touched his chin, feeling slightly embarrassed.
People don't seem to want to get closer to me. Could it be because of the fact that I destroyed Daoxuan Sect?
However, Gu Cheng didn't pay too much attention. After getting what he wanted to buy, Gu Cheng followed Cui Zijie directly back to Heyang Mansion.
