Chapter 390 Conspiracy
One stick of incense time later.
While Gu and Chan were still sitting in the pavilion feeling good.
All the officials in the Yamen gathered together in fear.
Gu Qifeng can run away with his family, but he cannot run away with his official servants at all! These officials cannot afford to lose their jobs, otherwise how will they support their families in the future?
No, everyone was standing outside the pavilion at this time, all standing straight, for fear that Gu Chan would tell them to get out in anger and make them lose their job.
Gu Chan couldn't laugh or cry and said, "Don't be afraid. I have no intention of targeting you. I just want Master Gu to enjoy his old age."
"Sir, what should we do next? Huh? The county government has lost its magistrate. Who do we listen to?" Master stepped forward and asked.
Gu Chan chuckled and said, "Don't worry, just wait. All my people will be here soon. I will stay in the county government office for a few days until the new county magistrate takes office."
"That's it! Then we'll feel at ease." Master said.
"You continue to do your business!" Gu Chan waved his hand.
The officials immediately turned around and left, each doing their own thing.
Gu Chan left the master alone, took out the account book that Gu Qifeng had given her before, handed it to him and said, "Take this account book and go to Prince Xian's Mansion and hand it over to him. King Nanxian, remember, you should answer truthfully whatever he asks you, and you cannot lie."
"Yes, sir." The master responded respectfully.
Then he took the account book and hurried to Prince Xian’s Mansion.
Not long after he left, Cheng Hao and the other four took the caravan and the goods to the county government office to settle down.
After that, Gu Chan specially ordered the cook in the yamen to prepare several tables of good wine and food overnight, held a banquet in the courtyard outside, called a group of officials to come and sit down, and celebrated with them .
In short, she can make the scene as big as possible. The purpose is to let everyone in the entire Nancheng know that now she has moved into the county government office and has driven away Gu Qifeng and his family. .
As for the reason for this, not many people in the outside world know the true cause, but those who know the true cause do not dare to leak it to the outside world easily.
On the other side, in the study room in the backyard of Prince Xian's Mansion.
While Gu Chan was leading everyone to eat and drink in the county government office, the master was standing in front of the desk with his head lowered and looking frightened.
Nangong Song sat behind the desk, looking at the account book in his hand, his face uncertain.
Nangong Jin sat aside, his face livid with anger.
Anyway, the father and son never thought that at this juncture, Gu Chan would choose to go against them. They originally hoped that Gu Chan would take the people out of the house quickly, but under the current situation Look, I'm afraid Gu Chan has to have a hand in Nancheng County Magistrate's affairs.
The silence lasted for a while before Nangong Song slammed the account book on the desk, then glared at the master and said, "So, Gu Qifeng has emptied the county government office of all valuable things. Then you left with your whole family?”
"Yes, Your Majesty, they should all have left the city now." The Master said honestly.
"Humph! What a good Gu Chan! We, father and son, have always given in, but you are so aggressive. You really think we are easy to bully." Nangong Song gritted his teeth angrily and shouted. The master was so frightened that beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, and he couldn't stop waving his sleeves to wipe away the sweat.
Nangong Jin asked aside, "He just asked you to come over and deliver us the account book?"
"Yes, little prince, but Master Gu said, Whatever you asked me to come over, you can’t lie.” Master said tremblingly.
"What did he say about the new county magistrate?" Nangong Jin asked.
"He didn't say this. He just said that he would take his people to live in the county government office for a few days and wait for the new county magistrate to take office before leaving." The master said.
Nangong Jin frowned and waved, "Take the account book and go back!"
"Yes, young prince." The master hurriedly stepped forward to take the account book and left as if running away.
After he left, Nangong Jincai said to his father, "Father, it seems that this brat doesn't intend to let his uncle be the new county magistrate. We must find a way to drive him away. Otherwise, once the position of the new county magistrate falls into his hands, it will not be a good thing for us in the future!”
"Gu Chan, you are unkind, but don't blame me for being unjust. I have to let you know tonight how miserable the consequences of going against me will be." Nangong tightened his fists and shouted coldly.
After saying that, he immediately sent someone to call Kong Wu over and said, "Go find a few powerful people and sneak into the county government tonight. You must kill him no matter what." "
"My lord, there is something I don't know whether to say or not," Kong Wu said.
“Say.” Nangong Song shouted coldly.
Kong Wu sighed and said, "This Gu Chan is not an easy character to deal with. It would be difficult to assassinate him. I can't guarantee that I will be able to get rid of him tonight. And once I fall, If he is defeated, he will definitely grab this handle, and you, my lord, will be completely passive.”
"Father, I think what Vice General Kong said makes sense, and have you ever thought about whether this brat dares to be so bold and fight us blatantly, whether this is not his original intention." Nangong Jin said in a deep voice.
Nangong Song was stunned at first, then suddenly his eyes widened and he said in great surprise, "You mean, this is the emperor's intention?"
"The emperor originally sent He went to Jiangnan to raise money for border relief, but now he has gone to Nancheng instead. He did not hesitate to take a detour, but also directly intervened in Nancheng's affairs, blatantly working against us. I have every reason to suspect that this is secretly done by the emperor. We signaled him to restrain us, otherwise how dare he act so boldly?" Nangong Jin said, thinking he was smart.
Nangong Song instantly became extremely embarrassed and couldn't help but sigh, "It seems that the emperor is eyeing us, and he is deliberately using him to beat us! Now we are in trouble, this county magistrate I'm afraid we really can't compete with him for his position."
"Father, I have a plan to break this situation," Nangong Jin said with a smile.
Nangong Song and Kong Wu became interested and both looked up at him.
Nangong Jin said with a sinister look, "As long as we get rid of Gu Chan now, we can indeed break this situation, but it is inappropriate to use our hands to get rid of him. As Vice General Kong said, If he fails, he will be caught. Once he reports to the emperor, the emperor will have reason to get rid of us. But if the person who killed him is not us, even if he is dead, the emperor will not be able to do anything to us, right? "
"What the young prince said is absolutely true. There is another advantage to this plan. If he is killed by someone else, we can also use the slogan of catching the murderer to avenge him and completely control the entire Nancheng area. By then , Nancheng is completely your kingdom,” Kong Wu nodded and said.
Nangong Jin laughed sinisterly after hearing this, and immediately decided to use this trick to kill Gu Chan with a borrowed knife, and then completely control the entire Nancheng area.
