"The chief of the department is Lin Zhao, the commander of Feilong, Ding Bulimian, the commander of the law, Song Yushu, the right-hand minister of the county guard, Li Lang, the arrester, Pang Kun, the commander of the left guard of the Moyu Army, Xue Shiwu, the marshal, and Jiang Huan, the deputy master of the Blood Shadow Palace. Sword, Bai Xinhu, the second head of the Bai family, wants to see you."
Lin Yuhuai came in and reported to Gu Suitang.
"Can't you finally bear it?" Gu Suitang put down the case file in his hand and sneered.
Lin Yuhuai said worriedly: "Secretary Chief, I think they are coming with bad intentions."
"Haha, good people don't come, and whoever comes will certainly be bad."
Gu Suitang smiled, crossed his legs, placed them on the table in front of him, and said lazily: "Invite them in!"
Lin Yuhuai took the order and left. After a while, Lin Yuhuai walked in with eight people.
"I've met Gu Sishou." After the eight people entered the door, they bowed their hands to Gu Suitang who was looking up.
Gu Suitang lazily said: "You guys are looking for me, what's the matter?"
Pang Kun, the commander of the left guard of the Moyu Army, was a big man with a height of five feet and a bad temper. When he saw Gu Suitang, he neither let them sit down nor served them tea. He was arrogant and said angrily: "Don't ask questions knowingly. Let's do it." Of course this is about Ye Qing?"
Gu Suitang smiled and said: "Oh, Ye Qing, what happened to him?"
Pang Kun snorted coldly: "Don't you know what happened to him? Don't pretend to be confused because you understand. You must give us an explanation today!"
Gu Suitang said: "I really don't know what happened to Ye Qing. Did he eat your rice or burn down your house?"
Pang Kun was furious and was about to get angry when he saw Song Yushu, the right prime minister of the county governor's office, stepped forward, stopped Pang Kun, cupped his hands and said: "Chief Gu, I know that I don't speak secretly. Because of Ye Qing's incident, these ten For several days, Luoshui has been in chaos, and the people are panicked and complaining. If this continues, the consequences will be disastrous."
"Captain Li, please report what happened these days to Chief Gu."
"Yes." Although Li Lang didn't want to come out, little minions like him often suffered when gods fight, but Song Yushu was his immediate boss, and You Cheng, the county governor, was originally in charge of Luoshui's public security and the arrest of thieves. He There is no way to shirk the blame.
"At 1:00 a.m. on May 3rd, two brothers, Ghost Sword Han Ping and Soul Sword Han Ning, assassinated Ye Qing in Ping'an Lane. The aftermath of the fight between the three resulted in the destruction of six houses and three restaurants, fifteen people were injured, and three people died; "
"At 3:00 on May 4th, the twelve leaders of the Qinglang Bandits robbed and killed Ye Qing in Changningfang, causing thirty-six people to be injured, ten people to die, and countless houses to be damaged;"
"At two o'clock on May 5th, in order to intercept and kill Ye Qing, the four brothers controlled fifty-three people with worrying spiders and threatened Ye Qing, causing thirty-six people to die and seventeen others to be seriously injured."
"At a quarter of noon on May 5th..."
"That's enough, that's enough!" Gu Suitang waved his hand and interrupted Li Lang's report. He knew these things much better than Li Lang and was too lazy to listen to the other party's chanting: "These gangsters are lawless and assassinate imperial officials in the street. , if you hurt the people, you should be punished."
"If you don't catch the murderer, why are you here here?"
Li Lang said awkwardly: "Uh... those people were killed by Master Ye on the spot."
Gu Suitang's tone was light and he said jokingly: "So, you are here to say thank you?"
"Thank you so much."
Song Yushu suppressed the anger in his heart and said: "Chief Gu, those Jianghu people are certainly the murderers, but in the final analysis, this matter was caused by Ye Qing. If Ye Qing hadn't trapped those people and angered them, they wouldn't have done it. So unscrupulous and heart-rending.”
"So, Ye Qing is the culprit."
Gu Suitang glanced sideways at Song Yushu: "The culprit? What a big joke."
"Oh, only those Jianghu people are allowed to kill Ye Qing with their intrigues, but Ye Qing is not allowed to use any small tricks to kill them. There is no such truth in this world, right?"
"Furthermore, if we want to say that the culprit is Taiping Dao, right? If they hadn't done this, Ye Qing wouldn't have become the target of public criticism?"
"Aren't you looking for the culprit? Find Taiping Dao. If Taiping Dao is destroyed, won't everything be solved?"
"You..." Song Yushu choked. If I had the ability to stand here and talk to you, I would have climbed to the Golden Palace and put on the flying dragon suit. One person would be superior to ten thousand people.
"Humph, do you know that Ye Qing has just destroyed Taiping Dao's plot to destroy Luoshui and saved Luoshui from fire and water? He is Luoshui's savior. It is you, it is you, the savior of all of you. You If you fall out of favor, you won’t recognize anyone anymore, you’re a dog!”
Gu Suitang cursed: "Crossing the river and destroying the bridge, beating the monk after reciting sutras, don't let your mother throw away her conscience just for the black gauze hat on her head."
"If you lose your conscience, you are no better than a pig or a dog."
"It's just a black gauze hat, why should I regret it? I am here for the people of Luoshui and for the safety of Luoshui."
Song Yushu said angrily: "It is a fact that Ye Qing contributed a lot to saving Luoshui, but it is also a fact that he made Luoshui into chaos and the people were panicked. One code leads to another. If we don't find a way to deal with it, causing public resentment and leading to riots, we will both die." Take the blame!"
"Okay, Song Youcheng said it was for the people. What about you, Pang Kun, Jiang Huanjian, and Bai Xinhu? Not to mention that you are also doing it for the people of Luoshui?" Gu Suitang looked at the others and asked.
Xue Shiwu took a step forward and said arrogantly: "Of course we are here for the people of Luoshui, I..."
Before Xue Shiwu finished speaking, Gu Suitang roared angrily: "Go away, who are you? Have I asked you anything?"
"You..." Xue Shiwu was stunned, his face turned red, and he pointed at Gu Suitang, who dared not say anything in anger.
"What are you, you point at me again, believe it or not, I will break off your fingers one by one."
Gu Suitang said coldly: "Your father, Xue Beikun, doesn't dare to point his finger at me here. Who do you think you are?"
"Gu Suitang, can you try to move the young commander?"
Pang Kun stood in front of Xue Shiwu, his eyes wide open like bells.
"Pang Manzi, I really don't dare to touch you!" Gu Suitang sneered and stood up. His thin body seemed to contain endless power, and everyone felt their hearts sinking.
"That's enough." Song Yushu waved his sleeves and smoothed things over: "Commander Pang, we are here today because of Ye Qing's matter. We must not create extraneous matters."
Jiang Huanjian and Bai Xinhu also stopped Pang Kun and persuaded him.
"Okay, let's talk about Ye Qing."
Pang Kun pushed Jiang Huanjian and Bai Xinhu away: "We, the soldiers, guard our homes, defend our country, and protect the people. It is our due responsibility. Ye Qing disrupted Luoshui and harmed the people. Yu Gong, as an official of the imperial court, I can’t ignore it.”
"Furthermore, Ye Qing's incident resulted in the death of dozens of brothers in our Mo Yu Army. For personal reasons, as the commander of the left guard of the Mo Yu Army, I have to take care of it."
Gu Suitang laughed and said: "Haha, one thing after another, when did you Pang Manzi say such a good thing? Tsk tsk, you are well prepared!"
"Bai Xinhu, what about you?"
Bai Xinhu is a short, fat, middle-aged man with a smile on his face: "Bai is a businessman. When it comes to business, he doesn't say empty words.
Ye Qing fought against those Jianghu people and destroyed a lot of the Bai family's restaurant industry. "
"Of course, these are all trivial matters. The most important thing is Master Ye's matter, which caused the people of Luoshui to panic and dare not go out. The Bai family's business has been greatly damaged. If this continues, my Bai family will suffer heavy losses and will be unable to survive. So Ye The adult matter must be resolved as soon as possible."
Both the Bai family and the Luo family are wealthy in Luoshui, but unlike the Luo family, the Bai family operates restaurants, gambling houses, brothels, brothels, etc., so no one goes out, which will indeed cause the Bai family's business Big loss.
"What about you?" Gu Suitang looked at the deputy palace master of the Blood Shadow Palace without comment.
Jiang Huanjian, the deputy palace master of the Blood Shadow Palace, is a tall and thin man dressed as a Taoist priest, carrying a long sword on his back, and is serious in speech.
Hearing Gu Suitang's words, Jiang Huanjian cupped his hand and said: "Gu Sishou, if Jiang doesn't speak secretly, I, the Blood Shadow Palace, also have to eat. Mr. Ye has stirred up Luoshui and there is no peace in the Blood Shadow Palace. Industry and business have also been greatly affected, so Jiang had to make this trip."
"Very good." Gu Suitang smiled and looked around at everyone: "So, what do you want to do?"
"Kill Ye Qing?"
"Leave him to those charlatans?"
"Or, leave it to you?"
"Your Majesty, it's serious. Naturally, we can't hand it over to those Jianghu people, let alone kill him." Song Yushu shook his head: "After all, Ye Qing has contributed to Luoshui and Dachu."
"Haha, thank you for remembering." Gu Suitang sneered.
The people in the room pretended not to hear. Xue Shiwu tugged on Pang Kun's sleeve. Pang Kun understood and said: "Since he can't be killed and can't be handed over to those Jianghu people, then let's expel Ye Qing from Luoshui. If he drives out of Luoshui, those Jianghu people will follow and Luoshui will regain peace."
"how?"
Song Yushu objected: "It's inappropriate. If Ye Qing is expelled from Luoshui, it means that we bow down and compromise to those reckless people. This will damage the reputation of the Jingan Division and our great Chu. It's inappropriate. It’s really inappropriate.”
Pang Kun said impatiently: "This won't work, that won't work either, what do you think we should do?"
Song Yushu was silent for a while and said: "Although the method you just said is inappropriate, there is one sentence that is right. As long as Ye Qing leaves Luoshui, those troubles will also leave, and Luoshui will regain peace."
"In this way, we can let Ye Qing leave Luoshui secretly and transfer to other places, or let him leave Luoshui and hide for a while on the grounds of mission. After a few days, we can announce to the outside world that those Jianghu people can't find Ye Qing, naturally I can only give up."
"In this way, we can not only preserve Ye Qing and not damage the court's prestige, but also restore peace to Luoshui, killing three birds with one stone."
"Gu Sishou, what do you think?"
Gu Suitang did not comment, but looked at the others: "What do you think?"
"This is a very clever plan." Bai Xinhu nodded.
"Okay." Jiang Huanjian agreed.
"I have no objection." Pang Kun said without thinking.
Xue Shiwu frowned. Although he was a little disappointed that he could not kill Ye Qing directly, the final result was not bad. As long as Ye Qing left Luoshui, his goal would be achieved.
"Where are you two?" Gu Suitang looked at Lin Zhao, the Flying Dragon Commander, and Ding Bulimian, the Master Commander, who had been silent since entering the room: "You are from the Jing'an Division, do you agree with their opinions?"
Lin Zhao and Ding Bulian, who had been silent since entering the door, looked at each other. Ding Bulian cupped his hands and said, "Ye Qing is from our Jing'an Division and has made great contributions to our Jing'an Division. Logically speaking, we should keep him safe. What he did..."
"Stop talking nonsense and say but!" Gu Suitang glanced at Ding Bulimian and interrupted him.
Ding Bulian choked in his throat and could only swallow the second half of his words, saying: "But what Ye Qing did also caused many of our brothers to lose their lives for no reason, even some of our Jing'an Division Daily work cannot be carried out normally..."
"So, we agree with Master Song's method."
