The snow was flying heavily and it was freezing cold.
A group of people were kneeling on the snow. The bitter cold was less so than the frustration and humiliation. All of them felt a strong sense of humiliation when they looked at Gu Zhan, who was sitting on the chair with his legs crossed.
However, they are more timid in their hearts.
Especially those two hundred households,
Before coming, they just wanted to go through the motions and didn't take Gu Zhan too seriously. They just regarded him as a passionate young man who had never experienced the cruelty of the world.
They made up their mind to go against the odds with Xi Ni.
As time goes by, the young Shangguan's edges will naturally be smoothed out.
But when they entered the Qianhu House and saw the imperial guards kneeling in the snow and not daring to move as well as the corpses, they felt a faint sense of fear in their hearts. This was a master who did not regard human lives as a priority.
And when Gu Zhan came down with the horizontal knife twisted,
They don't know why,
Every step Gu Zhan took seemed to be stepping on their hearts.
And in the end,
They also have the feeling that their lives depend on each other's every move.
This depression, this uneasiness,
In the end, it turned into fear,
The moment they knelt down, they felt a sense of humiliation, but what they didn't want to admit was that when they knelt down, they felt inexplicably relieved.
This is the greatest humiliation,
I actually feel that I can feel at ease only if I kneel down!
The wind and snow were raging, and snowflakes were falling. The cold wind was biting in the courtyard, and the snowflakes had fallen on the clothes and slowly formed snow. However, no one dared to move, not even using their inner energy to drive away the cold.
The few imperial guards who knelt at the beginning were already stiff and numb from the cold, their lips were blue and their heads were dizzy, but they still did not dare to make the slightest move.
Gu Zhan sat on a chair and sipped tea slowly. After a long time, he slowly said: "Everyone, get up. It's freezing cold today."
"Thank you, sir!"
A group of Jinyi guards helped him stand up in twos and threes. They were all stiff, but even after standing up, they still didn't dare to move.
Gu Zhan stood up slowly and said, "I've finished explaining the rules. Is there anything else you don't understand?"
Everyone was silent for a while.
Gu Zhan nodded and said: "Okay, now that we understand everything, let's do it. You can all go down. We will inform you that starting tomorrow, the Qianhu Office will strictly implement the new system of Jin Yiwei in the first year of Qingli. In addition, you guys They all sorted out a dossier on their respective affairs and handed it to the Bingbi Room."
"Yes." Everyone bowed their hands.
Gu Zhan looked at the two Jin Yiwei who were lying in the snow with their legs broken and did not dare to scream, and said: "Who is the counselor of the Internal Affairs Office? Give them two hundred taels each. Decoction and medicine expenses." After saying that, Gu Zhan pointed to the corpses in the snow and said, "Each family will be given three hundred taels of housing allowance."
Gu Zhan finished speaking, but there was no response.
Gu Zhan looked at the senior officials of the Qianhu Office with some confusion, and said coldly: "Who is the counselor of the Internal Affairs Office?"
Seeing Gu Zhan's face turn cold,
The Baihu Wuxiang hurriedly raised his hands and said, "Master Qi, our Qianhu Office does not have an internal affairs office."
Gu Zhan frowned and asked, "If there is no Internal Affairs Office, then which department in the Qianhu Office is responsible for finance?"
Wu Xiang said: "This is Mr. Guo Yuanzhong, Deputy Qianhu."
"Fuqianhu?"
Gu Zhan was stunned for a moment. This was the first time he heard this term. In Yundong before, the Qianhu Office had never had a Deputy Qianhu.
However, considering the special nature of Yunxi, it is normal to have an extra so-called Fuqianhu.
Gu Zhan looked at the senior officials of the Qianhu Office and asked: "Who is it?"
There was silence for a while, no one spoke.
Old Man Huang, who had been standing next to Gu Zhan, said softly: "Sir, Master Guo is not here."
Gu Zhan looked at the Jin Yiwei who were responsible for delivering the message and asked, "Didn't you go and notify me?"
The Jin Yiwei trembled in fright, and one of them hurriedly replied: "Sir, we went to notify him, but we were stopped by the housekeeper of Mr. Guo's family, and we didn't see Mr. Guo. His housekeeper said that he was always the new appointee. Qianhu goes to visit Mr. Guo and asks Mr. Guo to come to see you. There is no such rule!"
Gu Zhan narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Are these the original words?"
"Everything I say is true, and I would never dare to deceive you." The Jin Yiwei was so frightened that he knelt on the ground and said, "Sir, you don't know something. Our Qianhu Office will change one almost every two or three years." As a Qianhu, every Qianhu will take the initiative to visit Mr. Guo, even if some of them did not visit when they first arrived, they will take the initiative to visit after a while."
Gu Zhan looked at the two hundred households and asked, "Is that so?"
Baihu Zuoyang is an old man with gray hair. He speaks relatively calmly. He cupped his hands and said: "Gu Qianhu, Mr. Guo's situation is special. He generally does not interfere in the management of Qianhu Institute. However, hundreds of people from Qianhu Institute No. Jinyiwei, many people only recognize Mr. Guo."
Gu Zhan narrowed his eyes and motioned for Zuo Yang to continue.
Zuo Yang added: "Master Guo has been in Pingyang City for decades and has a deep foundation. All the major gangs also give him a bit of face. As for the government office, only his intervention will prevent the finances from being blocked. Others, such as Weapons, horses, etc. also require Master Guo to come forward.
Within the Qianhu Institute, no matter what the order is, if you want to get feedback as soon as possible, you also need Master Guo to come forward, because most of the Jinyiwei actually joined for Master Guo's face. "
Gu Zhan chuckled lightly and said, "So, if I want to take charge of Qianhu Office, do I still need Master Guo's nod?"
Zuo Yang and others were silent and did not dare to speak.
This is indeed the case,
However, this Gu Qianhu was a murderer without batting an eyelid, with a perverse and unpredictable temperament. Who knows if anyone responded at this time, this Gu Qianhu would think it was an insult to him, and then cut him off with a single knife.
"Haha, that's awesome!"
Gu Zhan touched his chin and asked again: "Okay, then I have to pay a visit to Master Guo. By the way, I heard that there is a book called Good Fortune Gong in the Gong Pavilion taught by our Qianhu. Whoever is in charge of the power transmission pavilion, please bring the power method to me."
A counselor stood up tremblingly, swallowed his saliva, and said with some fear: "Sir... forgive me, subordinate... subordinate, the good fortune is not in the Chuan Gong Pavilion!"
Gu Zhan asked: "Where is that?"
The counselor said in a panic: "Master Qi, because in the past, some martial arts masters often came to borrow the Good Fortune Kung Fu. Later... later, Mr. Guo felt that it was not good for those Jianghu people to come in and out of thousands of households for a long time, so he simply borrowed the Good Fortune Kung Fu. It was taken."
Gu Zhan sneered and said: "This Master Guo is really good at being a good person. He took the things from Qianhu's house as his own as a favor. Okay, we don't have to wait until later. I will go visit this Guo now." grown ups!"
