Early Tang Dynasty: forge ahead

Chapter 20 The Achilles' heel
Zhao Gouer already has the attitude of a mafia tycoon, neither humble nor arrogant.

There was some warmth and anger in Yu Qi's eyes, but he, a bad handsome man, couldn't do anything against a beggar like Zhao Gou'er who took both black and white.

Li Hongqing also had the intention of taking action, which really made Zhao Gouer stir up trouble among the truly lonely people.

Chen Qingsi said very calmly: "Then there is no point in talking."

He turned to leave, but suddenly turned around and said, "Beggar, do you know what method to use to deal with a disobedient dog?"

Zhao Gouer's expression changed slightly, but he still maintained a certain bearing and said, "Break the dog's legs if you can."

Chen Qingsi shook his head slightly: "That's wrong. Breaking the dog's legs will treat the symptoms but not the root cause. The best way is to find an obedient one. There were no conditions before, but now there are."

Swish!
Zhao Gouer's originally unruly expression turned pale instantly.

He has always understood that he, a beggar, is just a toy for the upper class, something that can be used and thrown away.

So in these years, while he has been paying bribes to the big bosses of all parties, he has also used bloody suppression and exclusion of restless opponents in the county, just because he is afraid that someone will rise up and affect his status.

Under his management, Yixing County is the only one in the industry, which is where his confidence lies.

Now that there is someone to fight against, the situation is completely different.

He knew that his methods were ruthless and he had offended many people overtly and covertly. As long as the county government showed some favoritism to the other party, he would really be a dead dog.

"Crack, crack, crack!"

Zhao Gou'er suddenly slapped himself three times, with such force that both sides of his face were immediately red and swollen, and blood overflowed from the corners of his mouth: "Chen Zuoshi, I, Zhao Gou'er, am blind and do not recognize a hero like Zuo Shi. Zhao Gou'er slapped himself three times. The dog is willing to listen to Chen Zuoshi's arrangements, go up the mountain of knives and go down into the sea of ​​fire, without even frowning."

"Okay! I'd better go and talk to Magistrate Dai tomorrow about this. At one o'clock in the morning, I go to the government office alone to plead guilty to the magistrate."

After he said this, he had already gone out.

Zhao Gouer reacted faster than Yu Qi and Li Hongqing, "Chen Zuoshi, be careful of the steps, I will see you off!"

The attitude changed so quickly that both Yu Qi and Li Hongqing were stunned.

After leaving Beggar Alley, Chen Qingsi bowed and said, "It's been a hard work for the bad handsome man to run around with me today. I will be the host at the Peach Blossom Wine Shop tomorrow, so the bad handsome man must be rewarded."

Yu Qi saw Chen Qingsi surrendering two beggar heads today. He was very impressed and said hurriedly: "It's an honor to be invited by Chen Zuoshi. I will be there tomorrow, so I'll take my leave first."

Chen Qingsi and Li Hongqing went to the county government post house.

When they were about to arrive at the inn, the heroine in red finally couldn't help her doubts and asked: "Both of them have their own agendas, why do they just obey your orders because of a few words of yours?"

Chen Qingsi chuckled and said: "Everyone has their own weaknesses. Zou Hao and Zhao Gou'er have different personalities, but they are actually the same type of people. They once lived at the bottom and relied on opportunities and ability to achieve their current status. , they cherish everything they have now more than anyone else. As long as you can shake his position, they will be afraid of compromise. When the temple was destroyed, the morale of Zou Hao's people was low, which showed that they had no food left in their hands, so they were sure of success this time. Everyone in Beggar Alley is filled with indignation and ready to take revenge. It can be seen that Zhao Gouer is not a person who suffers losses. This kind of person is the easiest to offend others and has many enemies. Once he loses the support of the government, no one will be able to chew his dog bones. I If you use their weaknesses to force each other, you will be able to capture them."

Li Hongqing looked enlightened: "I see... So the matter is resolved? Can the people in the city have food?"

Chen Qingsi said: "As long as they are willing to work, food and clothing should not be a problem. After all, Yixing County is close to Taihu Lake and is relatively wealthy. The rest depends on the magnanimity of Dai County Magistrate? If he is broad-minded , I can also give him a big gift, but if he holds a grudge, he may have to shoot himself in the foot."

Li Hongqing thought about Dai Hongling's performance today and said, "It seems like he is not a generous person."

Chen Qingsi agreed: "What a coincidence, I think so too."

Li Hongqing suddenly asked: "You say everyone has weaknesses, but what about you? Do you have any weaknesses?"

Chen Qingsi chuckled and said: "Yes, how can a person have no weaknesses? My weakness is fatal." Li Hongqing asked with great interest: "What weakness?"

"Want to know?"

"Ok!"

"I tell you it's okay, but you have to promise me not to use force."

"it is good!"

"swear!"

"a man of his words."

"You are not a gentleman!"

"I, Li Hongqing, say something, and it's hard to catch up with the horse."

"It's almost there!"

Chen Qingsi looked at the chivalrous woman who had already whetted her appetite and uttered four words: "Very lustful!"

"..."

Li Hongqing's expression was like an angry kitten: "You bastard, you bastard!"

She wanted to take action, but found that someone had already ran into the post house.

Just as he was about to chase her in, Li Hongqing suddenly had an idea and snorted softly: "I want to make this girl angry and leave. I'm dreaming."

Yixing County Government Office.

Dai Hongling listened to General Yu Qi's truthful report on Chen Qingsi's words and deeds today. When he learned that he actually asked Zou Hao and Zhao Gou'er to bow their heads, he immediately understood what the young man meant: to use beggars' heads to punish those idle ruffians. Idle beggars, this type of people are the most bullying and fearful of the strong, and the beggar leader happens to be their nemesis.

"hateful!"

Dai Hongling had a look of annoyance on his face. If Chen Qingsi had used some shocking trick, he would have felt better. However, the trick Chen Qingsi used was not very clever. It was just a trick of pretending to be powerful, and it was the government and his county that relied on it. Order's momentum.

But he just didn't expect that when he learned about the turmoil in the market, his mind went blank. When he learned that Yanling County was driving beggars to Yixing County, his first thought was not to solve the problem, but to think about how he had offended Li Jin. I wanted to apologize to him and ask for help, but I couldn't calm down and think about how to deal with it.

It would have been better if he had nodded when Uncle Peng recommended him.

It wouldn't be such a deadlock. Who would have thought that such a talented person could come out of a small, rundown village.

Why don't you show some dignity and let him use it for yourself?
Such thoughts flashed through Dai Hongling's mind, and then he thought about how he "contradicted" himself today, thinking about his headache and letting a young junior solve the problem in an understatement, making him feel stupid.

"After all, I am the head of a county, how can I bow to a junior? If I want to be humble, he must bow to me."

"In any case, he is just a petty official, and the final credit belongs to himself."

"What happened today has already made that kid steal the show, but we can't continue. We have to let others take charge of the work-for-relief matter..."

Dai Hongling glanced at Yu Qi in front of him and said, "You go down first. By the way, go and call Hu Dianshi."
