At this time, both sides of the long street were filled with people, but the voices gradually became quieter, shrouded in a huge silence.
On the long street, you can only hear the clear sound of horse hooves and the crunching sound of the wheels of the city lord's team marching slowly.
Guo Yan withdrew his gaze, his expression remained calm, but he felt a bit satisfied in his heart.
Judging from the reaction of the people, he knew that the majesty of his city lord was still there.
Guo Yan has governed this Yancheng for many years. He knows how to shut up the people and how to make the people say what they need to say... He doesn't even need to speak, some smart people will figure it out on their own.
He knew that as soon as the incident involving the Qiao brothers was over, no one would remember anyone named Qiao.
After all, this Yancheng is still the Yancheng of his Guo family.
And when Guo Yan almost disappeared from sight, the chatter in the crowd started to rise again.
"The city lord is still majestic."
"It is actually understandable for City Lord Guo to be angry. After all, his only son died."
"The Lord of the City is indeed a dandy, but aside from this matter, Lord Guo is not a bad person. He just needs some discipline for his beloved son."
A Confucian scholar in front of the crowd said, with a little cold sweat on his forehead.
Just now, City Lord Guo Yan glanced at this group of people from a distance. Although he felt that they were not directed at him, his strong desire to survive made him start to speak.
"Speaking of which, the two brothers Qiao Mu and Qiao Lin are both reckless people." Others in the crowd also began to have a desire to survive.
The dead are gone, but the living will continue to live.
They were indeed happy that Qiao Lin killed Mr. Guo, but now that the matter was over, if they wanted to survive in Yancheng, they still had to look at the Guo family's face.
"I admit that what they did was indeed a chivalrous act, but wasn't it a little too reckless? They just knew how to kill. Can killing solve the problem?"
"As a result, they all died, and they all died miserably."
"The two brothers are all the same, and they act without consideration. Qiao Lin did the right thing in killing Mr. Guo, and no one said he was wrong. But is it necessary for things to develop to this extent? Isn't there a better person? Good solution?"
"Chivalry violates the law with force. These so-called chivalrous people only want to be happy and happy in their own hearts. They have died a hundred times, but we still have to live."
"As a result, the whole city of Yancheng was under martial law. Caravans and civilians were not allowed to enter or exit, and goods could not be delivered. There was a famine in Yancheng last month, and now it's happening again. The price of firewood, rice, oil and salt has gone up to the sky. This Has Qiao Lin considered the difficulties faced by ordinary people like us?”
"Fortunately, Qiao Lin's body has been found. The martial law in Yancheng will be lifted soon, right? Life will be back on track soon."
Behind the crowd, the little servant Ah Cheng's eyes widened slightly and he was speechless.
He suddenly remembered that Qiao Lin, who broke into the city lord's mansion, had spoken to the people of Yancheng in front of the city lord:
"...The people dare not tell the truth and can only watch. This is not their fault. If you have the spare power, you should punish the evil and promote the good. If you don't have the spare power, you should protect yourself first..."
Now, ordinary people who have no energy to spare begin to speak in the face of righteous Qiao Lin.
The little house servant Ah Cheng only felt a little congested in his chest.
He didn't quite understand. The voice in the crowd just now was directed towards Brother Qiao Mu and Qiao Lin. Why did the direction of the wind change so quickly?
Is he too stupid? Or are others too smart?
"Absurd." A man wearing a hat in the crowd said calmly.
"Don't you dare blame the city lord Guo Yan who ordered the city to be closed down and impose martial law, but you blame Qiao Lin for acting recklessly and killing Mr. Guo?"
"The brave are angry and draw their swords against the stronger; the timid are angry and draw their swords against the weaker."
"You don't dare to speak against the city lord. Since the Qiao brothers are dead and can't argue for yourself, you can just step on their corpses and speak?"
"There is nothing wrong with thinking about protecting yourself in advance. But if there are no twists and turns about right or wrong, you must always have a balance in your heart." The guest in the bamboo hat said with cold eyes:
"People can be as humble as ants, but they cannot be twisted like maggots!"
The man in the hat's words made the crowd roar.
Many pairs of eyes in the crowd looked at the Confucian scholar silently, making his face start to feel a little hot.
The Confucian scholar frowned and retorted:
"I'm not saying it's reasonable. I didn't say it was wrong for Qiao Lin to kill the city lord's son. It's just that... there can be a better solution to the matter, but those two brothers were too reckless."
"For example? What solution?" The man in the hat asked.
The Confucian scholar in front of the crowd choked for a moment, and then said: "For example, Lord Guo is quite skillful, but he just dotes on his only son. I think if someone can clearly tell him what Young Master Guo did back then, he will definitely deal with it impartially."
"For another example, you can appeal to the Great Yan Law. If the bureaucrats in Yancheng cannot deal with it impartially, then they can appeal to Heyang Fucheng and the capital!"
"Oh. This sounds like a solution..." The man in the hat said, stepped forward and asked:
"Are you a native of Yancheng?"
Seeing that the man in the hat seemed to have softened his attitude, the Confucian scholar snorted coldly: "Don't try to get close to me, of course I am! I have lived in Yancheng for forty or fifty years... Are you a foreigner? Do you want to talk more about Yancheng? What do you know?"
The man in the hat asked again: "Then you have lived in Yancheng for so many years. You must have done the solutions just mentioned, right?"
"I..." The Confucian scholar was speechless for a moment.
The crowd's discussion became noisier again, and many pairs of eyes glanced at the Confucian scholars and the guests in bamboo hats.
Just listen to the man in the bamboo hat saying seriously:
"If the sky is dark, then live in the dark; if making noise is dangerous, then remain silent; if you feel that you are unable to shine, then huddle in a corner. But don't get used to the darkness and defend the darkness; don't defend yourself We can be humble and proud; we can not mock those who are braver and more passionate than ourselves, but we cannot be twisted like moths."
"You..." The Confucian scholar's face gradually turned red, veins began to appear on his neck, and his finger directly poked the chest of the man in the hat:
"You are amazing and noble!"
"It's nice to say something high-sounding, but who wouldn't say it? You are a foreigner, what have you done?"
"Chengdu Guo is in front of the team right now. Aren't you very good? If you are good, go ahead!"
However, the hater's reaction was beyond his imagination.
The man in the hat did not retort as fiercely as he did, but nodded slightly.
"OK."
"I can do it, so I'll go."
He squeezed through the crowd and walked towards the city lord's team without hesitation or looking back.
Behind the crowd.
The little servant Ah Cheng looked at the back of the man in a bamboo hat, and his body suddenly trembled slightly.
The backs of the crowd looked like ducks being held up by their necks, but the man in a bamboo hat walked out of the ducks, like a rock, stepping towards the waves.
..
At this time, the city lord's team had already marched to the gate of Yancheng.
Guo Yan was riding at the front of the team, looking majestic.
As the lord of a city, he was very scheming and steady in his actions. He had always been thinking a lot, but now he was thinking about something again.
"The Qiao family is nothing to worry about, and may not even exist... It's all my fault that I was fooled by that Qiao Lin."
"Forget about using Wu Jihui's connections. After all, Xing Xuan Envoy has really found out something. I have to thank him. Fortunately, Xing Xuan Envoy was alerted."
"As for the Immortal Sect... if you cooperate with the Immortal Sect, you are really seeking the skin of a tiger."
"It's easy to invite gods but hard to send them away. If people from Xuantian Sect come, the master of Yancheng may have to be replaced... It's all because of Qiao Lin's lies!"
Guo Yan frowned deeply.
As a city lord, it is really difficult for him to deal with the big forces... He still needs to think carefully about this matter.
While thinking about it, the city gate has arrived.
"Hang Qiao Lin's body..." Guo Yan was mid-sentence, but there was a commotion from the crowd behind him.
Among the crowd, a man in a bamboo hat raised a spear.
"The demon is disintegrated!"
He clenched the spear in his right arm tightly, and his already muscular arm swelled a bit more, and even the pores on his skin began to ooze blood, and the aura on the spear surged!
The spear that "Qiao Lin" did not throw before the seventh or eighth day was now thrown by "Qiao Sen"!
Before Guo Yan had time to look back, a violent sound of breaking wind suddenly came from behind his ears.
call out!
The spear flew out like lightning and turned into a bloody rainbow that penetrated the air!
The bloody rainbow seemed to have submerged the spear, and everyone could only see a fleeting flash of blood.
Amidst the violent sound of piercing the air and the shrill neighing of horses, Guo Yan, who was at the front of the team, turned over and fell off his horse!
"Old thief Guo Yan, are you deceiving me that there is no one in the Qiao family?"
Amidst thunderous shouts, the man in the bamboo hat threw down his bamboo hat and stepped out from the crowd. He twisted the two gun barrels together and another long gun appeared in his hand.
Volume 2 Not Confused

Chapter 56 Are you worthy of being a warrior? (4k, 2-in-1
"Lord City Lord!"
"Mr. City Lord?!"
No one reacted to the sudden drastic change.
One moment, Qiao Mu was arguing passionately with the Confucian scholars in the crowd, and the next moment, he came out to assassinate Guo Yan. The transition was extremely sudden.
Guo Yan didn't react either.
He was still thinking about how to deal with the Immortal Sect, but he never expected that someone from the Qiao family would actually assassinate him?
In the flash of lightning, he only had time to dodge slightly, and then he was knocked down to the ground by the huge force of the spear.
"There's an assassin!"
"Protect the city lord!"
Amidst the noisy shouts, the servants and guards were about to rush over.
But then, they saw Qiao Mu throw away the bamboo hat he was wearing, revealing a face that seemed familiar to him.
This face is obviously more mature than the "Qiao Lin" hanging on the wooden frame next to it, and the aura is more terrifying and majestic.
Qiao Lin?
wrong! This is another older Qiao family elder!
Amid the shrill neighing of the horse, Guo Yan got up from the ground again, his face as gloomy as water.
His left shoulder had been pierced by the spear, and his feet were still crushed when the horse fell down, and his flesh and blood were now a mess.
But when he saw Qiao Mu's face clearly, his face couldn't help but tremble.
Another Joe family member?
Didn't the Xingxuan Envoy of Wujihui say that the Qiao family was nothing to worry about, and might even not exist?
Xingxuan envoy mistook me!
Guo Yan had the urge to vomit blood again. How could he have been unprepared if someone like the Xingxuan Envoy from Wujihui hadn't told him the news?
Guo Yan's face darkened.
This Qiao family member, like the other two he met, was not afraid of death.
At this moment, the gates of Yancheng were still closed, and there were still soldiers guarding the city walls. But he dared to assassinate Guo Yan at this time?
"Why are the Qiao family so unafraid of death..." Guo Yan murmured to himself.
No one likes to fight someone who is not afraid of death.
Even a billionaire with a hundred bodyguards does not want to be caught by a mad dog who is not afraid of death when he goes out.
"Jo..."
Just as Guo Yan uttered his first word, Qiao Mu's actions startled him again.
Qiao Mu took out another bow and arrow from his back, pulled it and shot into the sky.
