People from Qianhusuo come and leave quickly.
The person who came to read out the transfer order spoke very politely and in a routine manner. After reading out, he left the transfer order and left, even rejecting the red envelope that Rong Yichu quietly gave him.
At this time, in the meeting hall.
All the senior officials from Nancheng Baihu Office gathered together.
Seven orders.
Three transfer orders to be promoted to Baihu, and four transfer orders to be promoted to General Banner, directly transferred seven of Gu Zhan's most powerful confidants.
In the hall, the atmosphere was a bit depressing.
They all knew that this was Wan Yan's plan, which was to sideline Gu Zhan. Although several of them had been promoted on the surface, they were not happy at all.
It's just rising brightly and falling darkly.
They are all veteran officials, and they all know how to screw up.
Although their official positions in Nancheng are not high, they still hold real power. Now that they have been transferred to other places, they are even the official leaders, which is just a symbolic leader.
Moreover, they know better,
They were able to achieve their current status because they had Gu Zhan as their backer.
Once Gu Zhan is sidelined and loses his power, he will inevitably be suppressed. If he is not careful, he will fall. At that time, it will be impossible for them to keep their official positions. This is secondly, and the main reason is Gu Zhan. If they fall, they will certainly not escape liquidation.
Therefore, this official order is actually a reminder.
"Sir...what should we do now?" Ma Lang said with a gloomy expression.
Gu Zhan narrowed his eyes and said: "I can refuse Wan Yan's arrangement, but you can't refuse. If you refuse, you are disobeying the Zhenfu Division. For this reason, you can be stripped of your official status directly. In addition, I can't help you refuse, this is an appointment from the Zhenfu Division."
Malang took a deep breath and said: "What should we do, sir? Wan Yan has made it clear that he wants to evade you. We have all been transferred, and he will definitely arrange for his people to come to you. When the time comes, if something happens No matter what, we have no way to return reinforcements, and if we go to other cities, we will definitely not have any power in our hands."
"Actually, this is not the most worrying issue," Rong Yichu said slowly: "Wan Yan likes to go eccentric in his behavior. His killing moves are often from behind. What I am most worried about now is his rear end. hand."
Rong Yichu couldn't help but think of what happened to the Rong family some time ago, when Wan Yan killed him with a direct blow. He took a deep breath and said, "If his method is just a pretext and undermines the power of our Lord, there is no need to worry. Otherwise, there is no need to worry." How long will it take to defeat all the people sent by Wan Yan, and spare the energy to help you seize power in other cities?
However, with Wan Yan's methods, it is impossible to end here. He will not give us a chance to breathe. The next step will make us more vigilant. "
Gu Zhan nodded slightly and said: "If I guess correctly, the next step must be the family. Wan Yan has been using me as a sword from the beginning, and this time, there will be no exception."
…
A great turmoil occurred in Nancheng Baihu Office.
Three general flags and four small flags left, and three new general flags and four small flags arrived. For a while, the Nancheng Hundred Household Office became turbulent, and almost started to jump up and down. However, fortunately, there were Zhan suppressed it, but he quickly calmed down.
And just when the turmoil had just begun to subside, another big incident happened in Nancheng.
Dozens of Nancheng Chamber of Commerce presidents collectively came to Nancheng Baihu House to ask to see Baihu Gu Zhan.
These so-called chamber of commerce presidents only have official identities, but are actually leaders of major gangs in Nancheng.
In the meeting hall.
All the gang leaders were crying and complaining to Gu Zhan.
"Master Gu, what the government is doing is pushing us to a dead end. You must think of a way!"
"Yes, Mr. Gu, in the past, as long as the lease contracts were willing to be renewed, they were given directly to us, but this time, the government directly gave them all to those aristocratic families, leaving nothing to us."
"Hundreds of people are waiting for me to eat!"
"In just a few days of work stoppage, a lot of trouble has already happened. Mr. Gu, we really didn't mean to cause trouble for you. There is really no other way!"
“Without money, people’s hearts will be scattered!”
"..."
Gu Zhan's face was gloomy,
He guessed that Wan Yan would have a back-up move, but he didn't expect that the back-up move would be so ruthless. The two attacks were completely stuck on his lifeline.
The first blow was to evacuate Baihusuo, which caused him to be unable to do anything at all during this period. The second blow cut directly to his foundation.
He was able to completely control Nancheng. In addition to the Nancheng Hundred Household Office, the biggest help was his close ties with the major gangs in Nancheng. These gangs also relied on him to establish a cooperation model of a special service camp. , supporting each other.
And now,
Wan Yan directly transferred the territory of the major gangs from the official to the major families, which directly caused the major gangs to suffer. If not handled well, the major gangs will become a mess.
At that time, the so-called special service camp system will become a joke, and Nancheng will be completely in chaos and divided up by the major families. In the territory controlled by the major families, it is impossible to implement the special service camp system.
Gu Zhan said nothing.
Rong Yichu was comforting the leaders of the major gangs on his behalf.
After a long time, the gang leaders slowly calmed down.
Gu Zhan looked at the gang leaders and said: "You have always supported me, and I will always keep this friendship in my heart. Don't worry, at this time, I will not I will give up on you."
"Thank you, Mr. Gu!"
"With the words of an adult, I feel relieved."
"Mr. Gu, we are all relying on you. Since you took over Nancheng, our major chambers of commerce have been booming. We are also clear about it. We will definitely stand unswervingly on your side. Whenever necessary, you can If you say that, we will not frown even if it means mountains of swords and seas of fire."
"Yes, Mr. Gu, as long as you say a word, we will follow you with our knives!"
"..."
Gu Zhan nodded slightly and said: "I understand everyone's intentions. Now go back and try your best to appease your subordinates. In addition, be prepared. This is how the world is. Everyone should understand what I mean. Success or failure depends on everything." You have to rely on the knife in your hand to speak."
"clear."
"Understood, Master Gu, we are waiting for your instructions."
"..."
The gang leaders left one after another.
The hall fell into silence.
Gu Zhan looked at Xiang Rong Yichu and said, "Go and inform the people in charge of the major aristocratic families in Nancheng that I will host a banquet at Baihua Building tomorrow night."
Rong Yichu asked: "Sir, do you want it?"
Gu Zhan snorted coldly and said: "I can't let Wan Yan walk away with his nose turned up. Since he dares to ignore my warning and use me as a knife again, then I will flip the table with him!"
