Chapter 10: Compensation of tens of thousands of taels
Suddenly breaking into a group of uninvited guests, Zhou Bantou and Wang Bantou and their group were shocked, and immediately pulled out their knife and stood up. However, when they saw that it was Gu Qingci, they relaxed.
"It turned out to be the commander of the county master. If you don't know that the county master is so aggressive, what's the matter?"
Zhou Bantuo didn't take Gu Qingci seriously at all because he knew Gu Qingci's temper and never advocated the use of violent means. Even if he was blocked in Qingkou now, he was not panicked. Moreover, Gu Qingci had no power in Changling County, so he was not afraid at all.
Gu Qingci snorted coldly, waved his hand and shouted: "Take all these corpses and corpses for me. Those who dare to resist will be killed without mercy!"
Seeing a group of people coming out from behind Gu Qingci, Zhou Bantou and his group changed their faces. They didn't expect Gu Qingci to take action directly. However, they all pulled out the knife as soon as possible and confronted Gu Qingci.
Just when Zhou Bantu and others drew their swords, Old Man Yan actually reacted faster than anyone else. He unsheathed his waist and blocked Gu Qingci, which surprised Gu Qingci. However, before he could think about it, he shouted, "Isn't you going to do it yet?"
Hearing Gu Qingci's order, the group of officers behind him rushed in and took action directly.
Zhou Bantou and others were drinking all the time, all drunk, and they were unprepared. They were caught off guard by Gu Qingci. In addition, Gu Qingci brought all the elites, Zhou Bantou and others were arrested without resisting for a few times.
Being firmly controlled by two officers, Zhou Bantuo was not giving up and wanted to resist, and shouted: "Gu Qingci, even if you are the county magistrate, why should you arrest me? I have not broken the law!"
Gu Qingci's eyes were condensed, and he stared at Zhou Bantou. When he met Gu Qingci's emotions, Zhou Bantou was shocked. Suddenly, he found that Gu Qingci was so strange. The Gu Qingci he knew would always look humble and gentle, gentle as jade. When did he have such a sharp side?
"Squeeze"
Gu Qingci was unsheathed his sword in his hand and put it on Zhou Bantou's neck, and said coldly: "You dare to question this county, so I will ask you. Yesterday, the Japanese county ordered you to recruit new servants. Why didn't you do it? Today, I will send someone to notify you, why don't you come?"
Zhou Banto suddenly felt a trace of cold murderous aura, and suddenly panicked, and argued: "You asked me to recruit new servants, but there is no specified time, and I don't know about the matter of "Dian Mao!"
"Are you going to argue?" Gu Qingci said coldly: "Where did you go to the 10,000 taels of public funds you received from the county magistrate yesterday?"
"This..." Zhou Bantou didn't know what to say for a moment, looked at Gu Qingci and suddenly said ruthlessly: "So what? I'm just spending it. What can you do? If you dare to touch me, you, the county magistrate, will end..."
"puff"
Before Zhou Bantuo finished speaking, Gu Qingci cut his throat with a long sword, and blood spurted out. Zhou Bantuo slowly fell to the ground, with unwillingness in his eyes, and seemed to be talking in his mouth, but he couldn't speak, and he only spit out some blood foam, and then he was out of breath.
The whole private room was quiet, terriblely quiet. No one expected that the gentle-tempered county magistrate on weekdays would kill people if he said he was killed, without hesitation.
This sword made everyone frightened.
However, it was not over, and Gu Qingci looked at Wang Banto again.
When Gu Qingci saw that Zhou Bantou was trembling all over, his face was pale, and he knelt on the ground with a trembling trembling, begging for mercy: "Sir, I'm wrong, I'm all bewitched by him, it's nothing to do with me..."
"Squeeze"
A sword light flashed by, and Gu Qingci did not hesitate at all, and directly let Wang Bantu meet the King of Hell. At this moment, everyone held their breath, and the air was filled with silence, shock, and fear. At this moment, everyone was sure that this county master was not what they thought. This county master was extremely cruel.
Gu Qingci looked at the ten detained officers again and said coldly: "What do you have to say?"
Those servants were already scared and lost their souls. They all knelt in a row, kowtowing and begging for mercy. Even the timid ones were even scared to urine. Everyone kowtowed hard, and all of them were bleeding.
Gu Qingci's silence was like a sword hanging above everyone's heads, and even the group of officers who followed Gu Qingci were frightened.
After a while, Gu Qingci spoke and said, "Okay, today, only the chief evil will be punished in Japan. I will spare you your life."
As Gu Qingci spoke, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. However, Gu Qingci suddenly changed his voice and said, "However, death penalty can be avoided, and living crime cannot be escaped. Our county will send a special person to investigate. Half of your property will be confiscated, all your positions will be removed, and you will get out of the county government!"
"Thank you for your spare time..."
"Thank you for not killing me!"
Those people dared not say anything more, and they all agreed in a regular manner.
Gu Qingci turned his head and looked at the other officers who followed him. He saw the word awe in their eyes, and then nodded with satisfaction. The reason why he insisted on killing the two squad leaders was to establish his authority, because he really lacked prestige in the county government.
Gu Qingci looked at the servants and said, "In addition, you all performed very well today. The servants in our county government should do their jobs for the people, and they should have the spirit of not being afraid of sacrifice. You did it very well today, and the money will be doubled this month!"
Although Gu Qingci knew that this method should have been only found by those gangs and should not be like this in the officialdom, he is too urgent now and has to use such inequality methods to win people's hearts.
As expected, under the interests, everyone was happy and said respectfully: "Thank you for your gift!"
Gu Qingci understands the mentality of these people. After all, whether they are in gangs or working in the yamen, they are all for making money. If you don’t have money, why do you have to ask others to work hard for you? This method is the fastest to work hard, and Gu Qingci also needs people to work hard.
Gu Qingci went out and looked around. Only then did he realize that Hongxiuzhao, which was already very lively, was gone. He frowned secretly. At this time, a man came over and said, "Mr. County Master, Hongxiuzhao, the owner of Hongxiuzhao asked to see you."
Gu Qingci nodded. After all, he turned the other person upside down. It was indeed unreasonable if he didn't say anything to the owner. He looked at Old Man Yan and said, "Brother Yan, you can take someone to deal with the body. After the treatment, take someone back to the county government. Leave four people for me."
"Sir, four people, what should you do with your safety?" Old man Yan said with some concern.
"Don't worry, in broad daylight, my dignified county magistrate, what else can happen to me?" Gu Qingci smiled.
Old Man Yan hesitated for a moment, but nodded and took the people away.
Gu Qingci walked to the lobby and found a place to sit down. Soon, a girl in her 17 or 18 years old and pretty looking girl in yellow clothes walked up to him and saluted: "I pay my respects to the adults. Miss Qing was sick today and was inconvenient to go downstairs. Please move to him."
Gu Qingci was slightly stunned and said, "Who is Miss Qing?"
The woman in yellow was a little surprised and said, "Sir, don't you know that the owner of the Hongxiuzhao is Miss Qing?"
Gu Qingci smiled awkwardly and said, "I'm sorry, please lead the way!"
The girl in yellow pouted, pointed to the four officers behind Gu Qingci, and said, "Sir, you can go, but they can't."
Gu Qingci thought about it and he was going to apologize. It was indeed not suitable to bring a lot of people with him. Moreover, he didn't believe that a brothel would dare to be bad for him, not to mention that he was very confident in his strength, so he nodded and allowed the servants to stay.
Soon, the girl in yellow took Gu Qingci to the third floor and entered a room. The room was decorated very elegantly, with a curtain of silk and beads, and a purple desk was placed in the corner. A wave of fragrant mist rose from the incense burner, wrapped in gauze curtains, and filled the room.
There was a layer of cloth curtains in the middle, and you could vaguely see a graceful woman inside. I think it was the Qing girl. However, Gu Qingci didn't have much time and said directly: "Miss Qing, this county has just dealt with some chores at Hongxiuzhao, which has caused you many inconveniences here. I came to you specifically to apologize to you and compensate you by the way!"
"Sir, I'm sorry, but let's forget about compensation!" Miss Qing's voice sounded like an oriole.
"This is not possible," Gu Qingci said righteously: "This county is a county's parent official. Even if you hurt the people, you will have to compensate you for every penny!"
"Oh, okay," said Miss Qing suddenly, "That adult will just pay tens of thousands of taels of silver!"
