Chapter One Hundred and Thirty-Four: Tan Beng Turns His Face
Five days later, Linzhong Mansion was still very lively, but the Jinfeng Building, the largest restaurant in Linzhong City, seemed very deserted.
It’s not that Jinfenglou has no business today.
It is because the Jinfeng Tower was directly booked by Gu Mo, the inspector of the forest inspection office, and Gu Mo's banquet was set on the third floor.
This Jinfeng Tower is an industry of a local gang. In order to please Gu Mo, the leader arranged the banquet properly. It was very generous and had a high standard.
In the banquet hall,
There is a main position at the top,
There are more than twenty seats below, and they are all equipped with a chair and a table.
After noon,
One after another, people came to Jinfeng Tower, all of whom were well-known figures in the forest mansion. Everyone traveled was not easy, but only the leader came to the third floor.
Because the banquet is scheduled to have time,
Therefore, these people basically arrived at the same time.
The head of the Gao family of the Linzhong Mansion, Gao Shanming, and Huo Qisheng, the Kuangfeng Sword Sect, entered the final. One was the head of the Linzhong Mansion family and the other was the head of the Linzhong Mansion gang, representing the entire Linzhong Mansion.
After the two of them came in,
The hall is basically full, and only the main seat is still empty.
However, Gu Mo didn't ask them to wait too long, and followed closely behind and came in.
As soon as Gu Mo came in, Gao Shanming greeted him with a smile and bowed: "Mr. Gu lives up to his reputation. He is indeed outstanding in character and young and promising!"
Gu Mo smiled slightly and bowed, "You are polite to the head of the Gao family. I will have to ask the head of the Gao family to give me more advice in the future."
Gao Shanming waved his hand quickly and said, "Mr. Gu is joking. The Gao family will rely on you to support you in the future." After that, Gao Shanming pointed to Huo Qisheng next to him and said, "Mr. Gu, let me introduce you to you. This is the leader of Huo from the Kuangfeng Sword Sect. The first-hand Huo family sword technique is known as the number one master in the forest palace!"
"This kind of false reputation is not worth mentioning in front of Lord Gu. Lord Gu is young and has such a profound cultivation level. It really makes me ashamed!" Huo Qisheng said politely.
Gu Mo smiled and said, "I am also well-known for the name of Huo Daxia Bai Yun's sword!"
After the two of them had some polite conspiracy,
Gao Shanming began to introduce the other responsible persons to Gu Mo again, without exception, all of them were big shots who dominate the forest mansion.
When everyone says hello,
Gu Mo called for a banquet,
This banquet is naturally impossible to be shabby. It is no exaggeration to say that it is a shame to make a lot of money.
However, none of the people present had never seen the world, and no one was really here to eat the table. Therefore, the banquet was held, but no one moved the chopsticks.
The only thing that eats is Gu Mo.
Everyone present was helpless.
However, no one spoke first, and they were waiting quietly.
Gu Mo seemed to have forgotten that there was someone else and had a great time eating. After a long time, he suddenly realized and said, "Oh, look at my brain, I have forgotten all the guests!"
Everyone picked up the wine glasses and said, "I will punish myself for one first, I will be very negligent!"
After saying that, Gu Mo drank it all and said with a smile: "I'm really sorry, everyone, I'm also very worried that I'm too busy with official business. Look, it's already noon today. I haven't even eaten breakfast yet. I'm so hungry that I'm pressing my chest against my back. I'm so forgetful that I've ignored you all, so please forgive me!"
Gao Shanming smiled and said, "What's the matter with Lord Gu? It's inevitable that you are busy with official business. However, Lord is still young and has a long life. Don't be too tired. There's still time to handle official business."
"Oh," Gu Mo sighed and said, "That's what he said, but the reality does not allow it. Linzhongfu said it's big or small, but after I took office, there were many things that happened in the world, which made me so busy."
As soon as Gu Mo said this,
Everyone present was slightly moved.
I know Gu Mo is going to get to the point.
Gu Mo looked at the expressions of the people in the audience with great interest, smiled slightly, and said, "Everyone, please come here today, for nothing else, just for the cumbersome official duties of my official."
As he said that, Gu Mo poured a glass of wine and said slowly: "I know that you are all giants in the world and have huge power. I have just arrived and many places need to rely on everyone. I want to meet you today, just to ask everyone for help!"
After saying that, Gu Mo picked up the wine and said, "Toast you this glass of wine, please give me a way out!"
As soon as this is said,
Everyone stood up in shock.
Gao Shanming hurriedly said, "Why did Lord Gu say this?"
Gu Mo slowly put down his glass of wine halfway and said, "Today, the wise man doesn't say secret words, and I don't like to hide it, so I just said it. I'm asking everyone to come today, just talk about the order of the rivers and lakes of the Linzhong Mansion. Since I took over, the order of the rivers and lakes of the Linzhong Mansion has been in a mess. Everyone, this is making things difficult for me!"
"Sir, I'm joking. There are countless people in the forest palace. This order cannot be decided by us!" Gao Shanming chuckled.
Gu Mo looked at Gao Shanming and said, "To be honest, I need you to restore the order of Yan Zha's previous reign. You are all bigwigs in the world, so don't pretend to be confused when you understand.
This was not what you sects and sects did before. When Yan Zha was in power, no one raised prices or monopolized the business. Now that I come, you are starting to do this, isn’t this embarrassing me?"
Gao Shanming bowed and said, "Sir Gu, since you have said this, I will say a few words for everyone present!"
Gu Mo nodded and said, "President Gao, please tell me."
Gao Shanming said: "Our current approach is indeed different from before. That's because when the Yan Inspection Office was there, all our taxes were exempted and a portion of the money was withdrawn from the Inspection Office every month to make up for our losses.
But now, after you take over, Lord Gu, you do nothing and just want to cut off our financial path with just one sentence. I'm afraid it's not appropriate. We have a large group of people under our command to support!"
"Puff"
Gu Mo suddenly sneered, then waved his hands repeatedly and said, "Sorry, I can't help it. Master Gao, you continue to brag, I'll listen!"
Gao Shanming's face changed and he said unhappily: "What does Lord Gu mean?"
Gu Mo chuckled and said, "What do I mean? Don't you understand? Are you thinking of me as an idiot or Yan Zha a fool? He is an inspector. He doesn't ask you to collect taxes, but he still pays you money? Is he going to accumulate good deeds? Are you going to talk to me today? "
Gao Shanming's face turned gloomy, he shook his sleeves and said, "Since Lord Gu is what he meant, there is nothing to talk about, say goodbye!"
After saying that,
Gao Shanming turned around and left.
