Chapter 113 Unreasonable

Gu Qing's only way to educate others is violence.

When the knife was inserted, the officer was so painful that he rolled around on the ground crying and wailing. Blood spurted out and flowed all over the floor. The other three officers were stunned, holding the iron ruler in a daze and not daring to move.

Gu Qing's expression was calm and he ignored the servant who was crying miserably. Instead, he carefully looked at the dagger in his hand.

What Zhang Huaiyu gave to him was high-end goods.

Only after stabbing it did he realize that this dagger was very sharp. There was almost no resistance when the blade entered the body. It felt very good in the hand. Gu Qing couldn't guarantee whether it could cut iron like clay, and he was reluctant to try it, but it would definitely be enough to stab people in the future.

Huh? Why do you say "later"?

The scene suddenly turned bloody, and Song Gensheng was stunned. He did not expect that Gu Qing would teach him a lesson in such a way.

After the other three officers were stunned for a moment, one of the officers who had just grabbed Song Gensheng suddenly sensed a strong sense of crisis and turned around and ran to the county government office without saying a word.

Gu Qing sighed regretfully. Looking at the speed at which the officer was running, he was afraid that he would not be able to catch up. Unfortunately, it would have been better if he had stabbed two of them by surprise.

Putting away the dagger, Gu Qing smiled at Song Gensheng and said: "Being an official must have the dignity of being an official. It is absolutely not allowed for the following to commit such a thing. Whoever dares to commit it will pay a heavy price. This is to teach you how to be an official."

The first lesson.”

Song Gensheng was kind-hearted after all. Seeing that the police officer who had been stabbed was still rolling on the ground in pain, Song Gensheng couldn't help but said: "It was just a small matter that caused a dispute. Here's what happened..."

Song Gensheng was about to explain when Gu Qing waved his hand and said: "Whether it's right or wrong, the essence of this matter is not a question of who is right or wrong, but a question of you, the chief clerk, being insulted by the servants below, and your dignity as an official being violated.

Offended, this is the essence, it is rooted. To be an official, you have to have a dark heart and be ruthless. If you can't do this, you won't be an official for long."

Song Gensheng thought for a while, raised his head and said, "I believe that being an official must be kind-hearted and generous. You don't have to care about how long you can be an official. As long as you can do more for the people under your rule, this is the fundamental purpose of being an official."

Gu Qing was speechless for a long time.

It's a good thing to have different opinions. Although his understanding of things is still a bit immature, he is no longer the obedient Song Gensheng before. He has his own outlook on life, and Gu Qing doesn't want to force it.

Patting Song Gensheng on the shoulder, Gu Qing smiled and said: "Let's not talk about this anymore. Let's solve the matter in front of us first."

The officer rushed into the county government office to call for help.

Gu Qing waited patiently.

Half an hour after the incense was burned, several county government officers came hurriedly, surrounded by an official wearing a green official robe. The official was in his thirties, with a medium build, a calm expression, and a gloomy brow.

There was a knife on his waist.

As the official walked out of the county government office, the officer who just ran in next to him pointed at Gu Qing and said: "County Lieutenant Zhao, he was the one who hurt our brother just now."

Gu Qing smiled, "Okay, the real master is here."

The screams of the police officer who had been stabbed in the thigh gradually became fainter, and he was helped up by others and sat on the stone steps to be bandaged.

County Lieutenant Zhao didn't even look at the injured officer. Instead, he looked Gu Qing up and down and said solemnly: "Is this the official of the Zuowei Palace in Chang'an to join the army?"

Gu Qing smiled and said: "Yes."

"Why did the officials from Chang'an commit murder in our Qingcheng County?"

"Because the officials in Qingcheng County can't manage the people below them, we have to let the officials in Chang'an take charge."

County Lieutenant Zhao was furious: "This is too much!"

Gu Qing ignored him and suddenly turned to ask Song Gensheng: "What rank is this county captain?"

Song Gensheng carefully glanced at County Lieutenant Zhao and said softly: "Ninth grade."

Gu Qing raised his thumb and pointed at himself: "What rank am I?"

This question stumped Song Gensheng. He scratched his head and said hesitantly: "You are a Beijing official. You are guarding the imperial palace in Zuowei's palace. The military records are two levels higher than those of the local guards. You should be the eighth grade... right?

?”

"Be more confident and remove the word 'ba'." Gu Qing said happily: "I am the eighth grade and he is the ninth grade. That means that my official rank is higher than his, right?"

"Well, that's what it means, but you can't just judge everything based on grade..."

"Okay, shut up, I don't want to hear anything else..." Gu Qing pushed Song Gensheng away, walked up to County Lieutenant Zhao, looked him up and down, and said: "I am a Beijing official, I am an eighth-rank official and I have joined the army, and you are a ninth-rank official.

County captain."

County Lieutenant Zhao said coldly: "So what?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Qing suddenly took action and slapped Lieutenant Zhao hard on the face with a big slap.

County Lieutenant Zhao did not expect that Gu Qing would take action without even reasoning. He had no time to react and was completely stunned. His cheeks were burning with pain, his ears were buzzing from the slap, and he could not hear any sound for a long time.

The officers next to them took a deep breath, but the clever one quietly took a few steps back, turned around and ran into the county government office quickly.

Zhao Xianwei is a local aborigine. He worked in Qingcheng County from being a sergeant to a county captain, and climbed step by step to his current position. Even the county magistrate had to be polite when talking to him. How had he ever been so humiliated?

After coming back to his senses, Lieutenant Zhao was furious: "How dare you, thief!"

After saying that, he raised his fist, but Gu Qing was not afraid at all. Instead, he stepped forward and said with a puffed-up chest: "Come on, come on, strike at my most vulnerable places. I will never fight back. If you dare to commit the following offenses, you will inevitably have to live in exile for three years.

"

County Lieutenant Zhao was startled, and his raised fist suddenly froze.

Gu Qing smiled and suddenly slapped him on the other side of the face.

Snapped!

This time Lieutenant Zhao couldn't bear it any longer, and subconsciously pressed the handle of the knife at his waist with his right hand. There was a soft click, and the knife was halfway out of its sheath.

Gu Qing suddenly shouted loudly: "Lieutenant Zhao, how dare you draw your sword? How dare you draw your sword on Shangguan! Do you want to kill the official and commit rebellion? What is the crime of rebellion? Behead the whole family and kill the nine clans!"

County Lieutenant Zhao trembled in fright, and immediately stuffed the half-unsheathed sword back into his pocket, with a look of anger and aggrievedness that he had to hold back.

Gu Qing's violent shouting completely frightened County Lieutenant Zhao. He finally realized clearly that the man in front of him was a military attache from Chang'an, and a military attache from Zuowei's family who was guarding the palace. He could serve as an official in Chang'an Palace, regardless of official status.

There were no officials, big or small, that he, a local county captain, could afford to offend. No one knew what kind of background this military attache had.

In Qingcheng County, County Lieutenant Zhao is the third-highest person besides the county magistrate and the county magistrate. He is also a native of the local area. He is used to being domineering. It is natural for him to bully an honest scholar like Song Gensheng.

But the person in front of him, rationally told County Lieutenant Zhao that this person was not to be messed with. No matter how small the official in the capital was, even the county magistrate had to be polite when he came to the place. If he dared to be rude again, he would really cause trouble for the whole family.

Trouble.

So County Lieutenant Zhao decided to swallow his anger. Anyone who can become a County Lieutenant is naturally not an idiot. He can still do the most basic knowledge of current affairs.

After slapping Lieutenant Zhao twice, Gu Qing was temporarily satisfied. He grabbed Song Gensheng's sleeve and wiped his hands with his sleeve. While wiping, he said calmly: "How long has Lieutenant Zhao been an official? There are no rules about respecting superiors and inferiors."

Have you been taught anything?"

County Lieutenant Zhao shuddered, held back his anger, clasped his fists and bowed in salute: "Your Majesty, Zhao Fushen, pays homage to your Majesty."

Gu Qing smiled and said: "My fellow countryman Song Gensheng has just been the chief clerk for a few days, and thanks to County Lieutenant Zhao, you have taken care of me. I would like to thank you on Song Gensheng's behalf."

Lieutenant Zhao's heart sank. Gu Qing's words were polite, but they were clearly sarcastic. No matter how stupid Lieutenant Zhao was, he could still hear it.

There is no way to explain what happened at this point. County Lieutenant Zhao indeed instigated his subordinates to humiliate Song Gensheng. Song Gensheng was not made easy for several days in a row. County Lieutenant Zhao did not dare to refute Gu Qing's sarcasm, let alone quibble.

Just now, Gu Qing suddenly and unreasonably took action, crippled a police officer, and slapped him twice. County Lieutenant Zhao realized that Gu Qing was a ruthless person, the kind of ruthless person who would risk his life on the spot for any disagreement.

It’s a joke, because no one can guess whether the ruthless person will suddenly draw a knife and stab someone while he is talking.

"Your Majesty... I didn't know that Master Song and you were from the same hometown, so I have offended you a lot." County Lieutenant Zhao bowed and apologized.

Gu Qing stared into his eyes and said slowly: "You appear to be apologizing, but you still have hatred in your heart. Are you thinking of waiting for me to leave to seek an opportunity to take revenge on Song Gensheng?"

"I don't dare to do this." Lieutenant Zhao had a layer of sweat on his forehead.

"I don't like to say harsh words, and I don't believe you really dare. But after I leave, you might as well ask Magistrate Wei about me. My name is Gu Qing. Before yesterday, I was just a farmer in Shiqiao Village. Today

From now on, I will be the military attache of Chang'an Left Guard. You can ask Wei County Magistrate who I know and what I have done. If you still think you can afford to offend me after asking about it clearly, then Song Gensheng will be in the county government office.

You can be killed or chopped into pieces, if you feel you can't offend me, please be polite to Song Gen in the future, County Lieutenant Zhao, have I made my words clear enough?"

Lieutenant Zhao's heart beat faster. These confident words made him feel that Gu Qing could not be offended, otherwise he would not have let him choose to be an enemy or a friend so calmly.

Gu Qing still stared into his eyes and said slowly: "I don't like to reason. The truth in the world is always vague and it is too troublesome to argue. If Song Gensheng suffers any injustice or injustice in the county government in the future, I will only come to you.

"

County Lieutenant Zhao was startled and couldn't help but said: "This Shangguan..."

Gu Qing interrupted him: "No, I don't listen to reason. That's it. I only recognized you. I often exchanged letters with Song Gensheng at the Chang'an Meeting. If he said in the letter that he had any grievances in the county government, then it was you who did it.

Or you instigated the people below to do it. Then, the next step will be the enmity between you and me. At that time, you and I will have a good fight."

County Lieutenant Zhao was shocked, angry and aggrieved. He had done a lot of such unreasonable things in daily life, but he swore to God that he had never done such an unreasonable thing.

Gu Qing ignored him and stood on tiptoe to look at the side door of the county government office. He suddenly raised his voice and said: "County Magistrate Wei, after watching the show for so long, is it time to reveal your true identity?"

The side door opened, and Magistrate Wei stood inside the door with an embarrassed look on his face and smiled at Gu Qing.

Gu Qing also smiled at him, but it was just a sneer: "The county magistrate is a good official, Gu Qing has learned his lesson."

Wei Du's smile became more and more embarrassing, as if some kind of ulterior secret had been revealed.

Gu Qing turned to look at Song Gensheng and suddenly asked: "What rank is the county magistrate?"
