As soon as Luo Huaiyang spoke, the hall became quiet, and he continued: "I have sent people overnight to investigate the origins of Gu Zhan. He has no background, he is just a killer.
Judging from the materials I have investigated, this Gu Zhan is not a good and righteous person. He killed the younger brother of Qi Baiyu, the leader of the Heavenly Sword Alliance in Yundong, and was hunted down by the Heavenly Sword Alliance until he reached the end of the world. Yunxi came running just before the door.
However, he was lucky. When Qi Baiyu pursued him to Canglan Road, he happened to catch up with the conflict between Chengyang Hou Mansion and the Dragon King. Qi Baiyu followed them across the border and was stopped by the Dragon King outside Canglan Road. , who didn't come in, he found the Fuji Inn in Qiandeng Town, and through this relationship, he found a foothold in Pingyang City. "
Everyone in the hall laughed after hearing this.
Someone laughed and said: "I thought it was a dragon crossing the river, but it turned out to be a lost dog, hahaha!"
"The bereaved dog is pretty good, but if it turns out to be a dragon crossing the river, we'll be in trouble."
"The bereaved dog is great!"
"..."
Luo Huaiyang smiled and said: "Don't underestimate him, he can destroy the Guo family in one night. Even if it is a lost dog, it is a lost dog with fangs. However, this is indeed much easier for us. I decided to ask him to come to the government office later to test his attitude first."
"How to try?" someone asked.
Luo Huaiyang said with a smile: "After all, we are a thousand households. In terms of official position, it is second only to the prefect. We are on the same level as me. As hosts, we should also hold a banquet. When the time comes, ask him what he thinks about Pingyang City. See if you can cooperate, you all should prepare the goods you want to deliver. If he agrees, then let him take over Guo Yuanzhong's position in the future."
One official asked: "What if he doesn't agree?"
Luo Huaiyang took a sip of tea and chuckled: "If you don't agree, then change to another Qianhu!"
"It's just that, as far as I know, he is very powerful and almost single-handedly destroyed the Guo family last night!" said an official.
Luo Huaiyang chuckled and said: "What's the use of being able to fight when you come out to hang out? Which of the previous Qianhu cannot be beaten? Can you continue to hang out in Pingyang City? This Gu Zhan is really too fast, otherwise, he will Guo Yuanzhong can make it difficult for him."
"This is also true," an official chuckled: "No matter how hard you fight, can you still challenge a city by yourself?"
"Well," someone nodded and said, "If you agree, let's take him with us. The young man, being chased by the Heavenly Sword Alliance and having nowhere to escape, should be quite aware of current affairs!"
…
Changfeng Street, Guo Mansion, has now been renamed Gu Mansion.
Since last night,
The Gu Mansion has been busy all the time. Fortunately, in this snowy day, it is relatively easy to deal with the smell of blood, directly. The blood condenses quickly and cannot be cleaned for a while.
noon,
Gu Zhan went to the east courtyard to take a nap, and got out of bed with the help of the pair of sisters and maids. However, the two maids, who were new to human affairs, moved a little awkwardly. After struggling for a while, Gu Zhan got dressed and went out.
As soon as he left the courtyard, he saw Zuo Yang walking over in a hurry, cupping his hands and saying: "Sir, the government has sent someone to send an invitation. Luo Juncheng is holding a banquet at Qingfeng Tower to welcome you. Will you go?"
Gu Zhan raised his eyebrows and said, "Who is this Luo Juncheng?"
Zuo Yang said: "The real leader in the Pingyang City government is from a local wealthy family with deep-rooted influence. Strictly speaking, Guo Yuanzhong follows him, and he is basically the leader in the government."
Gu Zhan asked: "What about the prefect?"
Zuo Yang said: "The previous magistrate choked to death two months ago..."
Gu Zhan was stunned for a moment and said in surprise: "Choke to death?"
Zuo Yang whispered: "The prefect is investigating a case, involving the grandson of Luo Juncheng."
Gu Zhan chuckled lightly, understood, and asked: "What about the current prefect?"
Zuo Yang lowered his voice a little lower and said: "The current magistrate's name is Ji Hanzheng. He was transferred from Qingzhou. As soon as he arrived in Pingyang Mansion, he was robbed by horse bandits. Not only the servants but the disciples were killed, even his wife and daughter were killed. Being humiliated in front of him.
Later, after he was rescued by the inspection department, he wanted to investigate and take revenge. However, the next day, his wife and daughter committed suicide in the house, and he never left the house. "
After all,
Zuo Yang approached Gu Zhan and said softly: "Sir, in fact, the horse bandits that Ji Zhifu encountered were not real horse bandits, but horse bandits run by gangs in Pingyang City. Some people saw Ji Zhifu On the second day after entering the city, several young men from the city led people into the residence of the prefect Ji, and all of them walked out of the residence while carrying their belts. After a while, the wife and daughter of the prefect Ji committed suicide!"
Gu Zhan narrowed his eyes and said, "The sky in Pingyang City is really dark!"
Zuo Yang sighed and whispered: "Sir, I have been in Pingyang City for decades. There are really no laws in Pingyang City, only the specific rules that belong here."
Gu Zhan smiled and said: "I have followed my own rules and accepted the invitation. I originally thought about going to meet the people from this government office tomorrow, but I didn't expect them to find me first." !”
"Five Dynasties Rivers, Mountains and Winds"
…
In the evening, it started to snow again in Pingyang City.
Gu Zhan appeared on the long street with a group of people, accompanied by Zuo Yang Wuxiang and the three innate warriors recruited from the swordsmen of the Guo Mansion. The group of six people headed for Qingfeng Tower.
This Qingfeng Building is a brothel, a famous gold-selling cave in Pingyang City. Its status is similar to the Baihua Building in Linjiang City, and it is very lively.
As soon as Gu Zhan arrived outside Qingfenglou Manor, several boys came out and respectfully led Gu Zhan to an attic deep in the manor.
Came to a hall upstairs,
There are many people sitting here, including warblers, warblers, swallows, silk and bamboo.
Sitting on the main seat was an old man with gray temples. He was quite serious. He was just drinking a small drink and did not have a girl in his arms. However, standing next to him was a woman with excellent appearance and elegant temperament.
When the old man saw Gu Zhan coming in, he stood up with a smile and said, "It's Gu Qianhu's side. Luo Huaiyang, the old man, has been appointed as the county magistrate of Pingyang Prefecture. Hearing that Gu Qianhu took office, he specially held a banquet for you to wash away the dust. Thanks to Gu. Your Majesty, please take a seat, please take a seat!"
Gu Zhan was not polite and sat directly on an empty seat in the front row, with Zuo Yang and others standing behind him.
Luo Huaiyang looked at the beautiful woman next to him and said softly: "Ms. Red, this Master Gu is a real young hero. You must take good care of him!"
The woman smiled, with cloud-like hair, snow-like skin, and a pair of peach-blossom eyes, which seemed to be filled with affection, which always made people's hearts beat uncontrollably.
Luo Huaiyang chuckled and said: "Master Gu, this is our number one courtesan and red lady in Pingyang City. I don't know how many young talents want to meet her. I heard about Master Gu's reputation and came here to see you. We old guys But it’s all because of your delay!”
Gu Zhan looked at the red lady, raised his eyelids, and said: "You have too many clothes on, you don't look good, take them off!"
