That Person In That River and Lake

  Chapter 28 Black and White

  Last night, Changling County was raging with war, and today it is still windy and snowy, boundless, and piercingly cold. In Gu Qingci's mansion, there was a man standing motionless in the snow, and he had become a snowman.

  Pang Shilong walked up to the snowman and said, "Ran Deng, let's go, my lord wants to see you!"

  This snowman is the head of the Flying Eagle Helping Wind Hall. In just one night, he fell from the clouds to the ground.

Before, he was a second-rate martial artist and the head of the Flying Eagle Gang. In Changling County, who would dare not give him some face? Lord, but after the battle last night, he lost everything.

Now, in order to survive, he was shivering in the cold in the courtyard of Gu Qingci's mansion, and he didn't dare to complain, because he was afraid of death. He watched the members of the Feiying Gang die in front of him one by one last night, especially unwilling The two hall masters who surrendered were tortured to death right in front of him. He was really scared.

When he was young, Ran Deng was also a person who dared to fight, but as he got older and had a family, he became more and more timid. Slowly, he didn't even fight for power in the gang. Participated, others want, he will give.

  Actually, Ran Deng didn't know that it was because of him that he was counseled that he now had a glimmer of life, because Gu Qingci needed a counselor right now.

  Following Pang Shilong into the house, Ran Deng immediately knelt down and said, "Grassman Ran Deng, see the county lord!"

  Gu Qingci held the iron catalpa and stabbed the burning coals, without raising his head, he said, "Do you want to die or live?"

   "I want to live, I want to live, my lord, I want to live!" Ran Deng hurriedly said.

  Gu Qingci took a look at Ran Deng, and nodded in satisfaction. To be honest, he really looked down on Ran Deng, who was greedy for life and afraid of death, and even treacherous, but he needed such a person right now.

   "Then get up and talk!"

   "Thank you, my lord!"

  Gu Qingci asked someone to lift a stool for Ran Deng.

  Ran Deng was a little restrained, sitting tremblingly opposite Gu Qingci, he looked very rich, he didn't look like a member of gangsters at all, but more like a landowner in the countryside.

  Gu Qingci said indifferently: "I heard that two days ago, your first grandson was born. How is it? Three generations live under the same roof. Family happiness is very good, right?"

Gu Qingci's tone was very flat, as if ordinary people were doing their homework, but it fell into Ran Deng's ears like a thunderbolt from the blue sky, his face turned pale immediately, and he knelt on the ground again, saying: "Master County, you can ask me to do anything , I beg you, villain, let my family go!"

  Gu Qingci rolled his eyes and said, "Get up, don't kneel down for me, it will shorten your life."

   "Yes, yes, sir!" Ran Deng stood up again.

   Gu Qingci said: "Don't worry, if I want to touch your family, I won't spare your life. However, as for whether you can keep your family, it depends on your performance."

   "My lord, please tell me!" Randeng said hastily.

Gu Qingci gently knocked on the table and said: "Now that the Flying Eagle Gang has been disabled, and the Cheng and Li families have been exterminated, there is a gap in the underground forces in Changling County. I want you to integrate them." The remnants of the Flying Eagle Gang, do you understand what I mean?"

  Ran Deng nodded hastily, and said: "My lord, don't worry, although the Flying Eagle Gang is almost finished, my Fufeng Hall has basically not been damaged. As long as my lord supports me, I can control the underground forces in Changling County for at most three days."

Gu Qingci nodded, expressing his satisfaction. Although Ran Deng looked timid, it was because he knew that the lives of the whole family were in Gu Qingci's hands and he had to give in, but he was able to serve as a member of the Feiying Gang after all. The people who have been the hall master for so many years are naturally not bad at their means.

  Gu Qingci has been eyeing Ran Deng very early, because this person is notoriously cowardly, but he has always been able to sit firmly on the Diaoyutai, he has means, but he is easy to control.

  During the scuffle last night, because he was afraid of death, Ran Deng took the people from Fufeng Hall to hide all the time. The loss was indeed small, but he was unlucky and was targeted by Gu Qingci, so he was not able to escape.

The reason why Gu Qingci wants to control Ran Deng is to control Changling County. This world is like this. Where there is black there is white. Take these forces into your hands.

   After all, Gu Qingci also needs money. There are many things that are inconvenient on the official side, so he can only use other means. At this time, Ran Deng's role comes out.

   "Don't use the name Feiying Gang in the future, just call it Fufengtang. As for the territory of the Cheng and Li families, you don't want to get involved. Those things are useful to me." Gu Qingci said.

   "Yes, my lord, I understand!" Ran Deng hurriedly said, whether he understood it or not, he would act according to the intention of taking care of Qing Ci.

  Gu Qingci nodded and said: "By the way, you want to integrate the Flying Eagle Gang, do you need me to help you?"

Ran Deng was stunned for a moment, and then it dawned on him that Gu Qingci didn't really want to send him a helper, but to find someone to supervise him. After he figured this out, he immediately said: "If my lord sends someone to help, then Even better!"

   Gu Qingci smiled slightly, this Ran Deng really knew a lot.

   "Shilian," Gu Qingci looked at Ma Shilian, and said, "Go to the county government and bring three hundred guards to pretend to be, and go to the Feiying Gang with Master Ran. All orders will be obeyed by Master Ran."

   "Yes, my lord!" Ma Shilian immediately stood up and cupped his hands.

  He naturally understood what Gu Qingci meant, and asked him to take people to the Feiying Gang, not only to monitor Ran Deng, but also to let people infiltrate the Feiying Gang, and slowly and completely control the Feiying Gang.

  Ran Deng naturally understood what Gu Qingci meant, but he didn't say anything. Instead, he smiled and took Ma Shilian to the Flying Eagle Gang, because he knew that the less power he had, the more assured Gu Qingci would be to him.

  Watching Ma Shilian and Ran Deng leave, Pang Shilong wondered: "My lord, why don't you let Ran Deng swallow up the territory of Cheng and Li's family, isn't it all in our hands?"

Gu Qingci smiled and said: "Old Pang, you have to remember that we are still officials after all. Take a long-term view. The destruction of the Cheng and Li families will definitely give other small families in Changling County a chance to rise. Only in this way can Changling County be active."

Gu Qingci didn't say anything else. He wants to support Hongxiu Zhao, but he is not worried about Hongxiu Zhao, because Hongxiu Zhao's current power is the largest in Changling County, so he must mobilize other small families in Changling County. Get up, so that we can cooperate with Fufengtang to check and balance Hongxiu Zhao, so that Hongxiu Zhao's family does not dominate.

   As for Tsing Yi, he won't explain it, because Tsing Yi is a smart person, as long as the red sleeve trick really has no other purpose, she will definitely not blame Gu Qingci, on the contrary, it is when the alliance between her and Gu Qingci breaks down!

   Only benefits are eternal.
