"Go and call Master Ma for me."

After Gu Qing fired from the system space, he immediately gave orders to a servant next to him, and he turned back to his own palace.

He now has the confidence and is no longer as anxious as before. He was thinking about trying to save his life, but now it is different. He is ready to take the initiative and cannot sit still and wait for death.

As for the Master Ma mentioned by Gu Qingci, he was named Ma Shilian. He was a Juren from the capital with him and also his classmate. When Gu Qingci passed the imperial examination, Ma Shilian failed the exam and went to Changling County with Gu Qingci.

According to the memory of his predecessor, Gu Qingci knew that Master Ma was his confidant and the only person in Changling County who was still on his side, because Ma Shilian had no extra choice. Like Gu Qingci, he was not a force in Changling County and was often excluded in the county government.

Therefore, Ma Shilian must be Gu Qingci's person, so he can use it with confidence. Moreover, his identity as a master can only be backed by Gu Qingci. Without Gu Qingci, he will be nothing.

Gu Qingci was sitting in the living room and drinking tea. Not long after, Ma Shilian hurriedly came. As soon as he entered the door, he said respectfully: "Secret Ma Shilian, pay homage to you!"

In addition to being a master, Ma Shilian also had a free position in the yamen for convenience of his actions, so he has always called himself a subordinate.

Gu Qingci slowly put down the teacup and said, "No need to be polite, come and cook the fire. It's quite cold this day."

Ma Shilian and Gu Qingci have known each other for many years. They are both subordinates and friends. He was not too polite with Gu Qingci, so he immediately moved a chair and sat down opposite Gu Qingci.

As soon as he sat down, Ma Shilian couldn't wait to ask: "Sir, are you in good health?"

"Well, skin trauma is not a problem." Gu Qingci said lightly.

"That's great," Ma Shilian said happily: "Sir, my subordinates have arranged it. Just wait for your health to recover. We will set off tonight to Langya County City to ask for protection from the prefect."

Speaking of this, Ma Shilian paused for a moment. He knew that Gu Qingci was a man who was not as good as ever before, so he advised: "Sir, I know that you have ambitions, but you have also seen that the Cheng family is in Changling County, and we can't fight. Let's admit defeat for the time being, and leave the green mountains without fear of burning firewood. Just go to the county magistrate to ask for soldiers, and then go to the six gates to borrow a few masters. Let's come back. Then, we will definitely be able to completely eradicate the Cheng family."

Gu Qingci really admired Ma Shilian in his heart, because he could see from his predecessor's memory that this person was a smart person, very slippery, and always played the role of a good person. However, in terms of personal abilities, he was much stronger than his predecessor. What's even more rare is that Ma Shilian never defected to others to betray Gu Qingci.

Ma Shilian said while also looking at Gu Qingci's face, because he knew Gu Qingci's temper very well, and even if he died, he might not be willing to escape. To put it nicely, it is the character of a literati, but to put it bluntly, it is just that he has no vision and no self-knowledge.

Gu Qingci stared at Ma Shilian and refused to speak for a long time, and made Ma Shilian so hard. After a while, Gu Qingci said coldly: "Shilian, our county has decided to do a big deal. If it succeeds, it will be prosperous and prosperous from now on. If it fails, it will be dead. Do you dare to gamble with me?"

While speaking, Gu Qingci slowly stood up and stared at Ma Shilian tightly. His eyes were cold, which made Ma Shilian shudder involuntarily. He looked at Gu Qingci in horror and suddenly realized that his classmate seemed to have changed.

In the past, Gu Qingci always looked gentle and elegant. When did he have such a sharp aura? Especially when he saw Gu Qingci holding a sword in his hand, he always felt that if he dared not agree, he would probably not be able to leave the palace today.

Ma Shilian was stared at by Gu Qingci, and sweat began to appear on his forehead. He knew a truth. The better the temper, the more ruthless the person becomes, the more scary he becomes. He swallowed and asked carefully: "The villain should follow the adults, but he doesn't know what plans he has?"

Hearing Ma Shilian's words, Gu Qingci took back half of the sword. If Ma Shilian didn't agree just now, he had no intention of killing Ma Shilian, but he would definitely raise his sword and force Ma Shilian to agree to him. If he really doesn't do anything, he will avoid leaking the news. It is not impossible to kill Ma Shilian.

Gu Qingci slowly returned to the chair, picked up the teacup, and said slowly: "I want to destroy the Cheng family with my own hands and clear Changling County!"

Ma Shilian widened his eyes. This adult was really not shocking. As soon as he spoke, he almost scared him to kneel down and stuttered: "Master...Master, we are not strong enough. Changling County is controlled by two tribes and a gang of people. We..."

If you weren't concerned about Qingci's identity, I'm afraid Ma Shilian would want to curse him now. Wouldn't you have any idea? You offended a playboy master of the Cheng family, and you were almost killed. Now you are still thinking about becoming enemies with the three major forces of the two tribes and a gang of them!

Gu Qingci naturally knew what Ma Shilian was thinking, and he said without changing his face: "Don't worry, I didn't want to hit the stone with an egg. Not to mention the three major forces, the Cheng family alone is not something I can deal with now."

Ma Shilian breathed a sigh of relief and said, "What do you want to do?"

"It's very simple," said Gu Qingci: "The first step is that I need people. No matter what plan, I have to have someone myself. I want to control the county soldiers of Changling County in my hands."

"This..." Ma Shilian said in a difficult situation: "Sir, I am afraid that you can't order the county soldiers now, and they will not obey your command."

"Of course I know, so I asked you to come today to arrange a task for you." Gu Qingci said.

"Sir, please give me instructions." Ma Shilian said.

Gu Qingci nodded and said, "There are more than 500 soldiers in Changling County, and the military power is all in the hands of the county magistrate Pang Shilong. If I want to control the military power, I must take down Pang Shilong."

All the positions in the county government are assigned. Although Gu Qingci is the highest commander of a county, in fact, he only has political power at most, and the most useful military power and financial power are in the hands of the county magistrate Pang Shilong and the county magistrate Liu Qian. To be honest, he, as a county magistrate, can be basically said to have been undermined.

Pang Shilong and Liu Qian are both old people from Changling County. Even though the county magistrate has been replaced for several terms, they have always been here, and the actual power of the county government has always been firmly controlled by these two people.

Pang Shilong relies on military power and his own martial arts. He is considered a figure in Changling County, while Liu Qian relies on Gu Qingci's old acquaintance Cheng family. Therefore, Gu Qingci has never had any chance to intervene in the two power agencies of Changling County.

If Gu Qingci wants to deal with the Cheng family, the first thing is that he must hold all the power of the county government in his hands so that he will have a glimmer of hope and be considered to have some capital to confront the Cheng family.

"Ding, as a county chief, how can you let your subordinates seize power? System mission: Get back all power within three days, success reward: one chance to draw randomly, and one penalty for failure: cut off one arm."

At this moment, a systemic voice suddenly sounded in Gu Qingci's mind.

Gu Qingci smiled secretly. The system mission came in real time, which was just in line with his idea, but the punishment for failure was too heavy.

Without caring too much about the system tasks, Gu Qingci said calmly: "Shilian, if we want to take Pang Shilong, we have to ask you to go there. I believe you won't let this county down, right?"

Ma Shilian took a deep breath, looked at Gu Qingci and said, "Sir, please give me instructions!"

"How many people do you have now?" Gu Qingci asked.

Ma Shi thought about it for a moment and replied: "The officials can use up to fifty people."

"Enough," Gu Qingci said: "Tonight, you will invite Pang Shilong in Mingcui Tower, and the county will take him down tonight."
