It has been snowing in Changling County, and the wind and snow are getting thicker.

Gu Qingci practiced overnight and specially performed a medicinal bath. This is the medicinal material he specially asked Ma Shilian to buy at a high price. The so-called poor, rich and powerful martial arts is like this. Just one medicinal bath consumed thousands of taels of silver.

Originally, he had confiscated Liu Qian's house and he had almost 100,000 taels of personal pocket. He thought he was a rich man, but now he realized that he was still a poor man.

However, Gu Qingci felt that the spending of this thousand taels of silver was worth it, because the sixth level of Huashan's mind method actually felt like it was about to break through. Although he also knew that this was because of the fact that it was already similar to Lu Dayou's internal strength realm, he could also clearly feel the progress.

Gu Qingci saw it very clearly. Although he had controlled all the power of the county government, he did not feel that he could rest assured. In this world, his own strength could determine everything.

Originally, he wanted to exchange for some pills that could increase internal strength, but after looking at it, Shaolin Xiaohuan Dan, who had increased internal strength for five years, needed 500 knight points, but he only had more than 100 knight points now, which was far from it.

Finally, he set his sight on the Busiqu snake gallbladder. Among the Condor Heroes, Yang Guo's ability to eat this snake gallbladder was greatly increased.

The price of this Pusiqu snake gall is not high. Twenty knights ordered one, but now Gu Qingci has too few knights, so he has to leave some emergency response. He only exchanged three. After eating three, he suddenly felt that he might suddenly reach the seventh floor at any time.

He thought that when he came another one, it was already dawn, and a servant came outside the door to inform him that it was Zhang Xu who was visiting.

When Gu Qingci was dressed and came to the living room, Zhang Xu had been waiting for a long time, but he did not dare to complain at all. He immediately stood up and said respectfully: "See the county master."

"No need to be too polite," Gu Qingci waved his hand, sat next to the brazier, and said, "Is there anything wrong? You are currently in your identity, don't come to me at will, so as not to expose my relationship with Prince Pang."

"Yes, yes, yes, my subordinates understand," said Zhang Xu: "This time I came, there was something important to report. The Lord arranged for the Magistrate Ma to recruit personnel yesterday. Later, the Magistrate Ma had other things to deal with. Let me take a look. I will report this matter today."

"Oh, yes, yes, yes," Gu Qingci remembered and said, "What's wrong? Is there any problem?"

"Yes," said Zhang Xu: "Now the main responsible persons in the yamen are two squad leaders, one surnamed Zhou and the other surnamed Wang. They received 10,000 taels of silver from County Ma yesterday, but they did not recruit people as soon as possible. Instead, they took the money to spend wine with their brother and did not return all night, and are still in brothels."

"Bang"

Gu Qingci slapped the table, frost appeared on his face, and he said coldly: "Do they don't know how to write the word "death"? How dare they disobey me!"

Zhang Xu stared at the handprint on the table and shivered. The adult was so murderous. He immediately said, "Sir, don't know what to do now?"

"Where are they?" Gu Qingci said coldly.

"Red sleeves!" Zhang Xu said.

"Okay, you don't have to interfere in this matter. Let's go in person!" Gu Qingci snorted coldly, stood up and went straight to the yamen.

Although the officers in the county government office have almost gone, more than a dozen remained, and the twenty sent by Pang Shilong yesterday have also been sent in total, which is more than thirty.

As soon as Gu Qingci arrived at the county government office, he immediately called the left-behind old man Yan to summon all the servants.

The name of this old man Yan is not clear, but according to Gu Qingci's memory of his predecessor, he is a person who is proficient in his career. He has no children and has lived in the county government office. Now he is in his sixties or seventies. He can be regarded as the entire county government office. The person who respects Gu Qingci the most did not delay Gu Qingci's orders for a moment and immediately went to execute them.

The twenty servants sent by Pang Shilong were all Pang Shilong's confidants. Each of them was instructed by Pang Shilong and absolutely obeyed Gu Qingci's orders. After receiving Gu Qingci's orders, all of these twenty people quickly came to the county government office.

However, only five of the dozen servants who stayed there before arrived on time, and nearly ten of them had not arrived yet.

Gu Qingci had a frost on his face, staring at the incense stick in front of him, without saying a word, he remained silent, which made all the servants below look confused.

It was not until the incense burned out that Gu Qingci slowly stood up, looked at Old Man Yan, and asked, "Brother Yan, have you notified everyone?"

Because Old Man Yan is old, everyone in the county government called him Old Man Yan, while Gu Qingci, the former man, was a gentleman, and he was very good at respecting the elderly and loving the young. He always called him Uncle Yan.

When the old man Yan heard Gu Qingci’s question, he immediately replied: “Yes, the county master, all the young ones have been notified, but Zhou Bantu and Wang Bantu were both drunk on Hongxiuzhao. I went to call them and were scolded!”

"So brave!"

Gu Qingci shouted angrily and said, "As a public official, he dares to stay in brothels and doesn't even come. Such people are just sitting in the county government. Do you dare to follow the county to get these scumbags who waste public food?"

When the five original officers heard Gu Qingci's words, their faces changed drastically. They knew that the county master was a life-and-death person. They took people to attack the Cheng family some time ago, but they also saw the consequences, so they were unwilling to repeat the same mistakes.

However, they did not expect that the twenty new servants who came yesterday did not even think about it, and all said in unison: "I would like to go with you!"

Now, the five original officers were embarrassed and everyone expressed their opinions, but the five of them didn't say anything and stood together again, which was too obvious.

Gu Qingci looked at the five people and said, "Do you have any objections to the county's instructions?"

Regardless of whether Gu Qingci has prestige in the county government or not, it is not something that a few officers can afford to offend. When Gu Qingci questioned this, they all shivered and hurriedly expressed their opinions.

"No, no, I just didn't react just now..."

"Yes, yes, we should follow the orders of the Lord!"

Gu Qingci looked at these people coldly, but snorted coldly, and did not say much. He picked up the long sword on the table and shouted: "Everyone will follow this county. Today, Japanese county will take you to clear my Changling County government office and get rid of these borers!"

I have to say that Pang Shilong is a smart person. He knows that Gu Qingci is short of people, but it is not convenient for him to send too many people to Gu Qingci, so these twenty people are all the most elite under him, and each of them is well-trained.

Gu Qingci took the lead, and a group of officers followed him to Hongxiuzhao. What surprised Gu Qingci was that the elderly Yan Toutiao also followed him and refused Gu Qingci's kindness to let him rest.

The snow in Changling County was getting heavier and heavier. Gu Qingci felt the chill as soon as he went out. However, he was not cold now, but he just sighed: "Oh, it's so heavy snow, I don't know how the people outside the city are?"

Old man Yan, who had never fallen behind, was able to follow Gu Qingci, suddenly raised his head in surprise and said, "It is a blessing for the people to care about the people."

"Oh," Gu Qingci sighed and said, "It's said that it's the negligence of the county. The snow has been falling for two or three days in a row. I didn't think of sending someone out of the city to check it out."

Old man Yan bowed and said, "I am willing to investigate for the adults."

"No," Gu Qingci refused, "Brother Yan, you are too old, so don't go. This county will arrange a few young people to go."

Old Man Yan's eyes were shining with brilliance, but he did not persist anymore.

...

Hongxiuzhao is the largest brothel in Changling County and the most popular brothel. No matter what time it is, it is full of customers.

Zhou Bantou and Wang Bantou were drinking in a large private room with a group of workers. The group was having a lot of fun drinking, and ordered a few girls to accompany them.

However, after drinking for a while, Wang Bantou suddenly said, "Old Zhou, the county magistrate sent someone to call us just now. If we don't go, will it really be okay?"

"Haha," Zhou Bantou smiled slightly and said, "Gu Qingci, he is a nerd, how can he do to us? He has no one in his hands. Moreover, you are not unaware that County Magistrate Pang and him are as powerful as water and fire, and he has no chance to touch us."

"But the money we spend is used to recruit new employees for public funds." Wang Bantou said.

"I just used it. What can he do with Gu Qingci? I..."

"Bang"

At this moment, the door of the private room was suddenly kicked open, and a cold voice came:
Chapter completed!
