That Person In That River and Lake

  Chapter 18 Convincing people with virtue

The people below all started booing, yelling for Chen Yue to come out to preside over the overall situation, making Chen Yue look helpless, and it took a long time for everyone to calm down, saying: "Brothers, I, Chen Yue, have been out of the arena for many years, it is impossible I have come out, but I have found a way for you brothers, as for how you choose, it is up to you.”

   After finishing speaking, Chen Yue didn't wait for others to speak, and shouted directly: "Master Gu, come by yourself!"

So they all looked at the gate in amazement, and then saw Gu Qingci in a black robe walk in, and the crowd automatically made way to both sides. The clothes are spotless, and there are a few people with red sleeves behind them.

   "It's the county magistrate Gu Qingci!"

  Some of those people recognized Gu Qingci, and they ignited instantly.

   "What are the people from the imperial court doing here?"

   "Dog officer..."

Gu Qingci looked at the reactions of the people below and frowned secretly. These people were very resistant to him. He quietly winked at a big man next to him. I have played against each other, and my strength is good.

  Seeing Gu Qingci's wink, Huang Pi immediately understood, slashed out with a knife, and several tables were instantly broken, calming down the so-called heroes of the rivers and lakes below.

  Among these people, there were only two or three third-rate warriors, who couldn't match the majesty of a second-rate warrior, and suddenly became quiet.

  Gu Qingci sneered, and said: "This county is here today to recruit you to our county government as servants. Do you have any objections?"

   "What, take us in, why?"

   "What are you, you deserve us to obey you."

   "What is the servant, isn't it the court eagle dog!"

   The pot exploded immediately below, and various voices came out.

  Gu Qingci looked at this scene coldly. To be honest, he looked down on these mobs very much. If it wasn't for the shortage of people in his hands, he wouldn't even look at them.

   Beckoned to a few people next to him, and said lightly: "Kill, only pick on the most troublesome ones, and kill chickens to scare monkeys!"

  Huang Pi and two other second-rate masters fought directly, charged into the crowd with knives, and killed nearly ten people in an instant, bleeding all over the place.

   More than a dozen third-rate warriors surrounded the restaurant, and no one was allowed to escape. The other two second-rate warriors protected Gu Qingci.

   "Dog officer, what do you want to do?"

   "Do you want rivers of blood in Changling County?"

  Those people were scared when they saw Gu Qingci's reckless killing, and began to threaten Gu Qingci. They all knew that Gu Qingci was a good official, and they must be afraid that they would jump over the wall and take the people to death.

   Gu Qingci sneered and said: "It seems that we still haven't killed enough, so we will kill a few more people in this county!"

   "Slow down!"

  Chen Yue couldn't stand it anymore, walked out with a cold face, and said, "Master Gu, that's not what we said before, it's not good if you do this!"

   "Oh," Gu Qingci shrugged and said, "Does Mr. Chen want to stand up for them?"

  As soon as Gu Qingci spoke, Huang Pizi and his group of five second-rate warriors approached Chen Yue with malicious intentions, without hiding their murderous aura, and stared at Chen Yue coldly, intending to besiege Chen Yue if they disagreed.

It was only at this time that Chen Yue complained secretly. He hadn't noticed just now, but now he realized that the people Gu Qingci brought were all masters. There is a Gu Qingci who is not inferior to him and is eyeing him.

  Chen Yue hurriedly said: "Master Gu misunderstood, Caomin has no such intentions, but I don't know if we can ask Caomin to say a few words to them?"

   "You can do whatever you want." Gu Qingci said.

Chen Yue hurriedly turned her head and said: "Brothers, think about it for yourself. If you take refuge in Mr. Gu, you can get the protection of the court, and you don't have to be cannon fodder for the Flying Eagle Gang. If you care about it, you will not escape death!"

   "Mr. Chen," at this time, someone retorted: "Aren't you asking us to be court eagle dogs?"

   "poof"

  The man had just finished speaking, when Gu Qingci suddenly pulled out his long sword and threw it out, directly stabbing the man's neck, dying with regret.

Gu Qingci coldly glanced at the people below, and said: "The court eagle dog, hehe, these words are also qualified to be said by you scumbags. In front of the county, say the four words imperial court eagle dog!"

Gu Qingci walked step by step, those people hurriedly moved away, they didn't dare to look at Gu Qingci, and then heard Gu Qingci say: "Don't dare to look down on the imperial court, are you worthy? , the county will give you a chance to be reborn today, come to the county government to work as a servant, and you will be a dignified person in the future, and you will receive money every month, why, don't you like it?"

   "That's good," Gu Qingci said loudly: "This county has always convinced people with virtue. Since you don't want to come to the Yamen, it's okay. Today, this county is here to arrest people."

   "Come on!"

   Gu Qingci yelled, and said: "These people gathered together to rebel, and they will all be thrown into prison by me, and they will be executed someday!"

  Following Gu Qingci's shout, not only did all the people he brought come out with swords, but hundreds of county soldiers with swords rushed in outside the restaurant, and surrounded all the gang members.

   At this moment, those people panicked, but they didn't dare to do anything. After all, Gu Qingci's side is not only crowded, but also a large group of experts. They have seen it just now.

  Gu Qingci's eyes were fixed, and the fire was almost ready, and he said in a deep voice: "I will ask you one last time, are you convinced?"

   "My lord, I am willing to surrender!"

  Finally, some people couldn't bear the pressure and knelt on the ground. If one person took the lead, there would be a second one immediately, and then a large sparse area would all kneel on the ground.

  Gu Qingci smiled slightly, and said: "Isn't that all right, everyone will work in the same yamen in the future, and they can be regarded as colleagues, why should we fight each other like swords and swords, come and come, get up!"

   "Thank you... my lord!"

Seeing everyone standing up, Gu Qingci suddenly slapped the table with his palm, and immediately smashed the table into pieces, which made the gangsters tremble all over. He looked cold and said, "I'll give you half a day, Before dark today, bring all of you to the yamen to meet up, and if you dare to play tricks on this county, I will make your whole family regret coming to this world."

  As soon as the words were finished, Gu Qingci flicked his sleeves lightly, and said: "All the county soldiers obey the order, in groups of three, send the gang leaders back, and you must send them to me!"

Gu Qing resigned and left, bringing only two second-rate fighters with him, and all the others stayed. As for the other masters of the red-sleeve move, they all stayed in order to frighten those gangsters. The county soldiers, I'm afraid the deterrence is not enough.

   Seeing Gu Qingci leave, those people were all greatly relieved.

   "Didn't you say that the county magistrate is a frail scholar?"

   "Who the **** is spreading this nonsense? This is a weak scholar, he is even more gangster than gangster!"

   "When did the county government have so many masters?"

  …

  With the supervision of the county soldiers, and Gu Qing’s successful resignation, all the people from those gangs came to the county government very quickly.

  In just one day, nearly 3,000 servants were recruited.

Such a big commotion naturally alarmed other people. The two clans must be the ones who are most concerned about this matter. However, the Li family has been unusually low-key these days, but the Cheng family is very happy, because Gu Qingci has indirectly helped them a lot. The Flying Eagle Gang lost a lot of combat power.

   Naturally, the Flying Eagle Gang immediately sent someone to negotiate with Gu Qingci, because this was their cannon fodder, and they were all recruited by Gu Qingci, so where would they go to find cannon fodder.

   Before Gu Qingci had finished integrating the new guards, people from the Flying Eagle Gang came to the door, and the old acquaintance You Biyu came again.

  You Biyu came here aggressively to ask the crime this time. As soon as he entered the door, he said: "Master Gu, it's against the rules to do this. At least you have to say hello to the Flying Eagle Gang!"

   Gu Qingci drank tea slowly and said, "Master You, what you mean by this is that everything the imperial court wants to do must be approved by your Flying Eagle Gang? Is your Flying Eagle Gang planning to rebel?"

  You Biyu said angrily: "Are you misinterpreting my meaning?"

   "Boom"

  Gu Qingci threw the teacup on the ground and shouted angrily: "Then what do you mean? You are so reckless that you dare to come to the county government to yell, who gave you the power!"
