That Person In That River and Lake

  Chapter 12 Cooperation and Exploration

   To be honest, Gu Qingci very much welcomes Qixiufang to settle in Changling County, because these women are too good at making money, and their methods are extremely powerful. As long as there is Qixiufang, that place will definitely prosper.

  If Gu Qingci can stabilize Changling County, and Qixiufang will operate at that time, Changling County will definitely be mobilized, and he can just count the money in his sleep.

  But he was worried about Qixiufang. To be precise, he was worried about Hongxiu Zhao and Tsing Yi, so he said: "However, Miss Tsing Yi, this county still has a doubt, I hope you can help this county solve it."

   "Sir, please speak!" Tsing Yi said.

"With the strength of Qixiufang, if you want to open up a small town in Changling County, there is no need to cooperate with me. Just send a few top-notch experts to completely suppress the two clans. Even if this is too big, you It is also possible to change to a stable county, and there is no place in the world that will not welcome you, the God of Wealth in Qixiufang." Gu Qingci said.

Tsing Yi hesitated for a moment, and said: "Little girl knows that you are not at ease with me, sir. Since I want to be with you, I really shouldn't hide it, so I will say it directly. I think you should know why Qixiufang is called Qixiufang. ?”

   "This county naturally knows," Gu Qingci said: "It is rumored that there were seven peerless women who fought in the world thousands of years ago. They called themselves Qixiu, and then founded Qixiufang."

"Yes," Tsing Yi nodded, and said, "Qixiufang has been re-electing Qixiu for thousands of years, and within thirty years, and I am one of the candidates for the next generation of Qixiu, but the candidate Too many... my lord, do you understand?"

   "Oh, I got it, it turns out that Changling County is the place where Qixiufang sent you, girl in Tsing Yi, to practice." Gu Qingci said.

   This is the habit of many big sects. Whenever a successor is selected, qualified people will be photographed to perform tasks. Whoever does well will be able to become the successor.

   "Are you willing to cooperate with the little girl now?" Tsing Yi asked.

   Gu Qingci smiled slightly and said: "Actually, isn't it more suitable for a girl to choose a gang of two races than me, a person with no roots?"

Tsing Yi smiled and said: "My lord, you don't need to test it anymore, let me tell you the truth, the two clans and gangs have too deep roots in Changling County, even if I cooperate with them, I may not be able to gain much. On the contrary, you will be eaten to death by them, but your lord is different, you are a member of the imperial court, there is no conflict of interest in our cooperation, and, although the risk of cooperation with you is greater, if it succeeds, my return will be even greater Big."

Gu Qingci nodded. This reason is very convincing. Cooperating with the gangs of the two ethnic groups can at best squeeze out a little profit. Even if Qixiufang’s ability to make money is terrible, this Tsing Yi is at best the same as other competitors. If he cooperates with him to eradicate the two clans and gangs, then the Hongxiu Zhao family will dominate and monopolize the interests of Changling County. Although it is a gamble, risks and benefits coexist.

   "Okay," Gu Qingci smiled slightly, and said: "Cooperating with the girl in Qingyi, we are a win-win situation, and I really can't find a reason to refuse. I can agree to your conditions, but the girl has to show your sincerity."

   "Of course," Tsing Yi took a sip of tea and said, "Please tell me what your lord needs."

"Okay," Gu Qingci picked up his teacup and drank it down, and said, "I want to see your sincerity first. Tonight, Ling Feng, the young leader of the Flying Eagle Gang, will go to Mingcui Tower to meet his old friend, and I will Bringing Cheng Ji, the second young master of the Cheng family, will also create conflicts between the two, I think, girl Tsing Yi, you should have a way to kill one of them, right?"

  Because he wanted to plot against the Feiying Gang, Gu Qingci deliberately inquired about the young leader of the Feiying Gang, and knew that he went to Mingcui Building almost every day to find a girl named Feng'er in it.

He specially sent Ma Shilian out to handle errands yesterday, just to ask him to find a way to lure Cheng Ji, the second young master of the Cheng family, to Mingcui Tower to meet Ling Feng. Let Ling Feng and Cheng Ji conflict.

  Before, he was going to do it himself or let Pang Shilong take action to plot against one of them, so that the conflict between the Cheng family and the Flying Eagle Gang could be completely intensified, making it impossible to mediate.

But he is actually not very sure, because Ling Feng's strength is very strong, it is not so easy for Ling Feng to do small tricks under his nose, but now it's all right, since Hongxiu Zhao wants to cooperate with him, this matter is Leave it to them.

  Tsing Yi heard Gu Qingci's plan, was stunned for a moment, and then said: "My lord, it's really a good method. Tsing Yi admires it. Don't worry, my lord. Mingcui Tower is my site. I can definitely do it to your satisfaction."

Gu Qingci smiled lightly, stood up, and said: "Then the county will wait for the good news from you, Miss Tsing Yi. After this matter is completed, let's talk about cooperation in detail. If this little matter can't be done, Want to come...hehe!"

   After Gu Qingci finished speaking, he turned around and left, Qing Yi also stood up, and saluted: "Respectfully, my lord!"

  When Gu Qingci left, Ran'er, who was basically silent in the room, said indignantly: "It is rumored outside that this Gu Qingci is an upright official and a gentleman. I think he is just a villain full of calculations!"

  Qing Yi shook his head slightly, and said: "The rumors in the market are unbelievable. When I saw it today, I realized that Gu Qingci is a dragon and phoenix among individuals."

   "Miss, you think so highly of him?" Ran'er said in surprise.

Tsing Yi tapped lightly on the forehead, and said: "You silly girl, what do you know, this Gu Qingci speaks and does things step by step, impeccable, but very sincere and straightforward, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a gentleman, at least not A hypocrite, moreover, with clever means, his future is absolutely limitless."

   "What kind of gentleman is he? He actually wants you to help him kill!" Ran Er said aggrievedly.

"You're wrong," Tsing Yi said: "He didn't ask me to help him kill, but to build a bridge for us to cooperate. Only when I took the initiative to step into this muddy water, would he dare to cooperate with me. At the same time, it was also a test for me Do you have the qualifications to cooperate with him!"

  …

  It was getting late, the wind was getting stronger and stronger, and it was blowing loudly. A lot of snowflakes stuck to it and were blown down by the wind. The wind is getting stronger and stronger, rolling up thousands of snowflakes, gradually blurring Gu Qingci's figure, only a sound of "Tata" is gradually drowned by the sound of wind and snow.

  Ma Shilian came to Gu Qingci's house, pushed open the door, patted the snowflakes on his body, and said with cupped hands: "My lord sees you!"

  Gu Qingci held a shovel in his hand and flicked the coals lightly, pointed to the stool, and said, "Sit down, how about the things you arranged?"

As soon as Ma Shilian sat down, he felt much warmer immediately, and said, "My lord, that Cheng Ji is not a good thing, he was easily deceived, and now, I am afraid that he has already gone to Mingcui Tower, he will definitely I'm going to find Miss Feng'er."

   "That's good, a man will be jealous." Gu Qingci said softly: "By the way, what about the recruitment of new officers?"

"My lord, I'm here to tell you about this." Ma Shilian stretched out his hands, tossed and warmed the fire, and said, "There are quite a few people who are willing to come, but they are all very old. to a few."

  Gu Qingci was not annoyed, but said lightly: "Do you know the reason?"

   "I know," Ma Shilian said, "The folks in Changling County are aggressive, and those who can't get a living basically go to gangs. In addition, my lord, you are in the same situation as the Cheng family, and many people dare not come if they want to."

   "Huh?" Gu Qingci asked in confusion: "Changling County has a large population, and they all go to gangs? How many people are there in the Feiying Gang?"

"No," Ma Shilian explained: "My lord, the Flying Eagle Gang is not the only gang in Changling County, it's just that the gangs of the two clans are too powerful, and a slightly larger gang will be suppressed, so there are no gangs in Changling County. Other established gangs."

   "Oh," Gu Qingci frowned, and said, "Are there many small gangs?"

   "Many," Ma Shilian said: "Actually, except for the Flying Eagle Gang, those can only be regarded as hooligans, usually dozens of people get together to do some sneaky things."

   "Hey," Gu Qingci grinned, and said, "Then you still say you can't recruit people, aren't these people ready-made? It seems that I have to go to Pang Shilong's mansion!"
