Chapter 20: The Cheng Family's Calculations
Hearing Pang Shilong's voice, Gu Qingci slowly opened the door, walked out, and asked, "What's wrong?"
Pang Shilong whispered: "The Cheng family is here to find me."
Gu Qingci frowned slightly and said, "Why are the Cheng family coming to you?"
Pang Shilong looked around and said, "The Cheng family will send a killer to assassinate you. At that time, the Cheng family is trying to find a way to push me to your position. Their request is to let me take the troops from the county government to help them destroy the Feiying Gang. Moreover, according to them, the Li family has agreed to join forces with them."
Gu Qingci frowned slightly and said, "The Li family really cooperated with the Cheng family? Shouldn't they sit in the mountains and watch the tiger fight? Why should they join in?"
"This is not clear to the officials." Pang Shilong shook his head and said.
Gu Qingci thought about it and couldn't understand why the Li family took the initiative to join in. However, it could probably be guessed that it was nothing more than the Cheng family who gave the Li family the benefit that could not be refused.
"Okay," Gu Qingci thought for a moment and said, "Then let them come to assassinate them, and this county will make them successful!"
"What?" Pang Shilong didn't react and said, "Sir, what do you mean?"
Gu Qingci smiled slightly and said, "If I don't die, how can I arrange you to the Jin Cheng family and then stab them in the back at a critical moment?"
Pang Shilong suddenly realized and said, "Sir, you want to pretend to die, and then let me be undercover in the Cheng family. When the Cheng family and the Feiying Gang fight, I will fight back!"
Gu Qingci nodded and said, "You can just follow my arrangements at that time. By the way, there should be crossbows in our yamen, right?"
"Yes, crossbows are used exclusively for the imperial court to prevent foreign enemies from invading, so there are hundreds of crossbows in each yamen. Sir, do you need to use crossbows?" Pang Shilong asked.
"You don't have to worry about this anymore. This county will naturally arrange someone to pick it up at that time." Gu Qingci said.
...
At night, Gu Qingci was playing the piano in the house.
The sound of the piano came into my ears, echoing in the yard. In the night, there were snowflakes shining. A man in black quietly climbed over the wall and came to Gu Qingci.
Gu Qingci was shocked and shouted: "Comeone comes, there is an assassin..."
A trace of joke flashed in the man in black's eyes, and with a sword swing, Gu Qingci fell down in response, a bloodshot appeared on his neck, staring at the man in black unwillingly, bleeding from his mouth, his eyes slowly closed, silently.
The man in black nodded with satisfaction, preparing to come forward to make up for the two blows. Suddenly, he heard the sound of mixed footsteps outside, and someone was shouting: "Catch the assassin!"
The man in black glanced at Gu Qingci, and confirmed that Gu Qingci had been wiped with his neck. He turned around and broke the window and disappeared into the night.
A large group of officers hurriedly chased out. Strangely, no one stayed to deal with Gu Qingci's body.
After a long time, everything became quiet. Gu Qingci, who was already dead, suddenly opened his eyes, sat up slowly, took out a piece of silk and wiped the "blood stains" on his neck, smiled coldly, and said, "Cheng Family, see how long can you be proud?"
"squeak"
The door opened, and Ma Shilian came in. He tiptoed to close the door, walked to Gu Qingci, and said, "My county lord, don't play like this in the future. Do you know that I'm almost worried about it!"
Gu Qingci smiled slightly, took Ma Shilian into the inner room and roasted the fire, and said, "Don't worry, Shilian, this county has been prepared for a long time, and something will not happen."
"Okay, okay, okay," Ma Shilian said helplessly: "Although you have become a different person over the past period of time, your personality is still the same. No one can change the things you decide."
Gu Qingci patted Ma Shilian on the shoulder and said, "I told you before that you will be prosperous and prosperous for a lifetime, so you will naturally have to do what you say."
Ma Shilian rolled his eyes and said, "If I had a choice, I would rather take you the farther away."
Gu Qingci was helpless, and it was true. Ma Shilian wanted to take him away from the beginning, but he didn't trust Ma Shilian at that time, and he had already had murderous intentions.
"Well, Shilian, remember to do what I said tomorrow and release the news of my killing. You must make the Cheng family believe that I am dead. Then you go to Mingcui Tower and find You Biyu, and ask him to bring Ling Qunyun to my mansion."
"Yes, the official understands!"
...
On the other hand, news that shocked Changling County came out. County magistrate Gu Qingci, who has always been a wise official and has won the hearts of the people, was assassinated and died last night. His body was cremated in public and was personally organized by the county magistrate Ma Shilian. He has sent someone to send the ashes back to Gu Qingci's hometown.
Gu Qing died as soon as he cried, and the position of county magistrate was temporarily replaced by county magistrate Pang Shilong.
Cheng's mansion.
"Pang County Magistrate, no, the Grand Master of Pang County is here, and it is a mistake to welcome you!"
Cheng Chuang, the head of the Cheng family, personally welcomed Pang Shilong at the gate and directly brought Pang Shilong to the inner room.
Pang Shilong bowed and said, "I have the opportunity to be able to do today, thanks to the head of the Cheng family, I thank you here!"
"What are you talking about?" Cheng Chuang said hurriedly: "Now we are all a family, so we won't speak two."
"Okay," Pang Shilong said carelessly: "The head of the Cheng family, I have something to say. When do you plan to do it, I'm very convenient to prepare."
Cheng Chuang nodded, stretched out three fingers and said, "Three days later, in the evening, the people from the Li family will enter the city and attack from behind the Feiying Gang. Then we will take the opportunity to attack from the front. At that time, we will ask Pangxian Zun to lead people to block all the ways out. We will destroy the Feiying Gang in one fell swoop."
"Okay," Pang Shilong said happily: "Head Cheng is good at making plans, but after things are done, I must not lose my share!"
“This is natural!”
...
Mingcui Tower.
In a private room, You Biyu slapped the table hard and said angrily: "His grandma, why is this Gu Qingci so useless? I gave me some advice on the country yesterday, why did I just burp all night? It's so bad that I'm so happy!"
A very sharp middle-aged man sat opposite You Biyu. He looked ordinary and had only his temperament that made people unable to ignore him. This man was Ling Qunyun, the leader of the Feiying Gang, a legend in Changling County. He was killed from a beggar, with one of the largest gangs in Changling County, and became one of the most powerful people in Changling County.
Ling Qunyun glanced at You Biyu and said lightly: "Three brothers, don't be impatient. This is not all bad. At least we didn't cooperate with him. If we die after cooperation, then we will be unlucky."
"Brother," You Biyu slapped the table and said, "I understand everything you said, but I remembered the boy Gu Qingci's energetic look yesterday, and I felt that he shouldn't have died so easily."
"Oh, it seems that third brother, you really look forward to that county master!" Ling Qunyun said in surprise.
"Yes, if we work with that kid, we will be sure to destroy the Cheng family at least in the third year of high school..."
"Bang bang bang"
Before You Biyu could finish his words, a knock on the door suddenly sounded outside. You Biyu and Ling Qunyun looked at each other, picked up the knife on the table, walked out slowly, and shouted: "Who?"
"Master, the people from the county government are here!"
You Biyu looked at Ling Qunyun, and after getting Ling Qunyun's approval, he said, "Let him come in!"
The person who came was Ma Shilian. As the county magistrate of Changling County, both You Biyu and Ling Qunyun knew each other.
You Biyu bowed and said, "Master Ma, I wonder what you are doing?"
Ma Shilian smiled slightly and said, "On the order of the county master, please come to the palace to discuss it."
You Biyu said in surprise: "Which county lord?"
Ma Shilian said lightly: "There is only one county magistrate in Changling County, that is, Gu Qingci, Lord Gu!"
You Biyu said angrily: "Aren't you nonsense? Now who doesn't know that the unlucky Gu Qingci has turned aside? Where can we see him? Is hell?"
"The third brother," Ling Qunyun suddenly stood up, scolded You Biyu, walked towards Ma Shilian, and said, "It seems that Lord Gu already has a plan?"
Ma Shilian smiled slightly and said, "Gang Ling is indeed awesome!"
You Biyu was a little confused and said in confusion: "Brother, didn't you say Gu Qingci is dead? What puzzle are you fighting now?"
Ling Qunyun shook his head and did not answer You Biyu, but asked Ma Shilian: "Mr. County Master, do you have any other instructions?"
