Struggle in the early Tang Dynasty

……

……

Different from the sneaky style of Lijingmen, the headquarters of bad guys is open in Chang'an City.Guo Ye followed Zhang Fangying to the gate of the bad guy's headquarters, and saw that the place was already dressed in red and green, and decorated with lights and festoons.Guo Ye took a closer look, okay, there are still a few banners hanging.

"Warmly welcome Qin Guogong to be the leader of the bad people's congress."

"Swear to die for Duke Qin!"

"Anyone who can't get along with Qin Guogong is just getting along with bad people."

"Qin Guogong supervises all officials and patrols the four directions, and there is no benefit."

"Qin Guogong is out, and officials have no privacy. Bad people are out, and evil people can't hide."

……

……

When Guo Ye saw it, his expression changed, and he said, "Who told you to hang up these banners? Why didn't I know that the new officials will take up their duties, and there is this rule."

Zhang Fangying said: "Of course there is no such rule when a new official takes office. However, our unscrupulous people are different from other yamen. We are usually run by the foster father alone, and there are no other secondary officials. It can be said that the foster father and his old man represent He is a bad person. Speaking of bad people, he refers to the father-in-law. The two are one in two, two in one. His old man had some misunderstandings with you, and now he can't handle the handover with you in person. We, brothers of bad people, are afraid that you will mistakenly think that we are all loyal to Lord Yifu and unwilling to accept your command, so we hang up these banners to show our loyalty to you!"

"Loyalty?" Guo Ye snorted coldly, and said, "You are not showing your loyalty, you are setting me up on the fire. What do you mean by swearing to die for the Duke of Qin? The bad guy is a secret spy of the Tang Dynasty, not me, Guo Ye. His private soldiers, this banner, let His Majesty know what he thinks? And the supervisors, isn’t that the job of Li Jingmen? What does it matter to you bad people?”

"Mr. Qin, please. The fact that bad people supervise all officials is indeed in conflict with Li Jingmen's power and responsibility. But it is not true to say that we bad people do not have this power. A few years ago, His Majesty decreed to give us bad people The power of people to supervise officials. If you don’t believe me, I can invite you to read the imperial decree.”

Guo Ye was really not clear about this matter, and said: "Even if you have the power, you can't hang this banner! Supervising all officials is a job that is hated by people. If you are not careful, all officials will attack you in groups. Do you think that I, Guo Ye, didn’t die fast enough with all your fanfare and publicity? I understand your small thoughts, this is called flattery!”

Zhang Fangying wanted to explain, but Guo Ye waved his hand and said, "I have made up my mind, so there is no need to say any more! Take down the banner quickly, or you will be punished as disobeying the military order!"

"Here!"

The first rank of officials crushed people to death, Guo Ye issued a military order, Zhang Fangying didn't dare to stand up to it, so he had to order people to take down the banner angrily.

After the banner was removed, Zhang Fangying bowed again and said, "Mr. Qin, please wait a moment. I'll go and inform my brothers to come and greet me."

This is the proper meaning in the question, Guo Ye nodded and let him go.

After a while, the door of the bad guy's headquarters opened wide, horns sounded, and firecrackers sounded non-stop.Zhang Fangying ran out and said, "Duke Qin, please!"

Guo Ye frowned, and said: "What kind of moth are you bad guys doing? Why do you only listen to the movement, but no one comes out. Is this how you welcome me, the new commander? Where is this rule?"

"Don't worry, please go inside! The brothers have all set up their formations and have been waiting for a long time!"

"The formation is set up? Then why don't you come out to meet them?"

"This... the street outside is so narrow, it can't be opened!"

Guo Ye was full of suspicion, and said: "Lead the way ahead!"

When Guo Ye came outside the gate and saw the scene, his face suddenly changed!

In the middle of the compound, a hundred and ten men, Xiong Jiu Jiu, stood in two rows in high spirits.Each of these men held a Mo Dao that was as long as one person, and raised the Mo Dao high, crossed two by two, and formed a passage.Under the sunlight, the Mo Dao shone brightly, catching people's eyes and frightening courage.

Zhang Fangying came to Guo Ye and said, "Duke Qin please!"

"You mean to let me break into this knife formation?"

"Exactly!"

"Then I don't understand..." Guo Ye said sadly: "If it is Zhang Liang who came, you also entertain him with a knife formation?"

Chapter 1706

Zhang Fangying said: "Don't dare to lie to Duke Qin, if Lord Yifu comes, of course you don't have to go through this Modao formation."

"In this way, it is you bad people who deceived you."

"Qin Guogong was joking. We bad people dare not bully Qin Guogong even if we have 1 guts. To be honest, this Modao formation is the etiquette for us bad people to entertain distinguished guests. Only the most distinguished guests are worthy of us. The bad guys took out the Modao Array to entertain you. This is not to bully you, but to respect you. Have you seen this..."

Zhang Fangying pointed at the leading black man, and said, "This is the master of our villainous style. His surname is Gao, and his name is Gao Jianzhong."

"Look at this one again. This is the head of our villain's Yutang. His surname is Li, and his name is Li Buhui."

"This is the Lord of Thunder Hall of our villains. His double surname is Ouyang, and his single name is Xia."

"As for this one, it is Yang Quande, the master of the electric hall."

Guo Ye nodded and said, "I've heard for a long time that you bad people have four halls of wind, rain, thunder and lightning. Is this because the masters of the four halls have all come together?"

"Exactly. Knowing that you are going to take over the position of the leader of the bad people's congress in the next few days, whoever dares to neglect the four hall masters has long been waiting for your visit here. Have you seen that, the four hall masters, line up in person, we Is the sincerity of the bad person enough?"

"Sincerity is enough, but... I, Guo Ye, am not a guest of your bad people, but the newly appointed leader of the bad people's congress! Your Mo Dao formation is in the wrong place, so hurry up and take it down."

Zhang Fangying shook his head and said, "Duke Qin's words are wrong. Let me ask you, what are you doing here today?"

"Of course it is to take over the position of leader of the bad people's congress."

"It's still true, haven't you taken over the command of the bad people's congress yet? So, now you are just the most honored guest of our bad people, not the commander of our bad people. Only you have passed the Modao formation, Once you have completed the handover procedures, you, the commander of the bad people's congress, can be regarded as justifiable."

Guo Ye sneered and said, "So, I have to break through this Modao formation? If I don't break through, I can't take over as the leader of the bad people's congress?"

"Oh, I don't dare to say that. This is just the hearts of all the brothers for you. You are willing to pass the Modao formation to give face to the brothers. If you don't want to pass the Modao formation, then we dare not force it. However, I want to remind you that just now you asked me to take down the banner, and you have already hurt the hearts of the brothers. There are a few words that can be said to be one but not to be repeated. Heavy Hammer, I don’t need to say what’s next.”

Guo Ye said: "No, no, I still don't understand. You should explain to me clearly, what are you going to do if I don't pass the Modao formation?"

"What else can we do? We bad people get the salary of the imperial court, but they are decent officials. Even if you hurt the hearts of brothers, we will not do anything drastic. But after you become the bad person , Some brothers can’t figure it out because of this matter, and they are not very motivated to do things, which is unavoidable after thinking about it.”

Zhang Fangying sighed, and said: "You are timid and dare not pass the Modao formation, and I, Zhang Fangying, can understand. If you really dare not pass the Modao formation, I will give you an idea."

"What's the idea?"

"Don't go through the main entrance, go through the side door, and go around the Modao formation. Isn't there an excuse to pass through the Modao formation?"

Guo Ye said: "Although I, Guo Ye, haven't read any books, I also know how to cover my ears and steal my bell. Besides, I was ordered by His Majesty to take over bad people. In the end, I didn't dare to go through the main door, so I could only go through the side door. If today's incident gets out, wouldn't I, Guo Ye, become a joke? Zhang Fangying, you are digging a hole for me to jump in."

"Uh... If you don't like this method, I have another idea."

"Another idea?"

"The second idea is to wait! A Mo Dao weighs more than ten catties, and no one can bear it if it is held for a long time. You only need to wait for an hour or two, and these people will not be able to lift the Mo Dao. Withdrew."

Guo Ye snorted coldly, and said, "In another hour or two, it will be dark. What do you mean, I, Guo Ye, take over bad people, so I can only sneak here at night? What a shame!"

Zhang Fangying spread his hands, and said: "I can't do left, I can't do right, the villain really has no choice. What should you do, you can figure it out by yourself."

"Don't think about it, I, Guo Ye, will pass through your Modao formation today!"
