Starting from the imperial palace guards, his clones spread all over the world

The skull-masked man left, and the heavy pressure in the hearts of everyone present also dissipated.

Especially Yan Ju and the other two breathed a long sigh of relief.

At least they could be sure that the skull-masked man was definitely not an enemy.

"Let's go quickly, too!"

"Let's go back and ask our master who this senior is."

Yan Ju said, leading Yun Liao and Hua Lanyue to quickly jump off the roof and leave the county office.

They all felt very relaxed.

Not only did they escape from a powerhouse like Bao Chao, but they also witnessed Yang Jingye's death.

If the skull-masked man was really a hidden master of the sect, then after he made such a great contribution, the three of them could also get a share of the pie.

Inside the study.

Qiu Zhuo was still trembling and cowering in the corner.

His gaze was blankly fixed on the corpses of Yang Jingye and Bao Chao.

Two important figures had died in his yamen in one day.

It's over… …

He knew that his career was completely over!

Qiu Zhuo felt like crying but no tears came out.

"Guiyi Sect!"

"You bunch of damned people!"

Qiu Zhuo beat his chest and stamped his feet, angrily cursing.

If these Guiyi Sect people hadn't suddenly appeared and killed Yang Jingye and Bao Chao, then he would have been promoted to Qingzhou Prefectural Judge before long!

Now, not only could he not get promoted, but he was not even sure if he could keep his official hat.

Bao Chao was fine, after all, he died in a Jianghu vendetta, which was naturally handled by the Six Doors, so Qiu Zhuo could not be held responsible.

But Yang Jingye was different.

When Qiu Zhuo looked closely, he saw Zhang You leading a group of yamen runners rushing in:

"Protect the Lord!"

"Where did the thieves go? Search quickly!"

"The damned thieves dare to break into the county yamen, if we catch them, we will definitely flay them alive!"

The yamen runners were full of vigor and looked ferocious, as if they were about to eat people at any time.

When Qiu Zhuo realized that this group of yamen runners should have come long ago, but they had only appeared now because they were afraid of death.

Qiu Zhuo did not blame them.

He was already disheartened at the thought of his career, and he didn't even have the energy to scold people.

Zhang You hurriedly rushed to Qiu Zhuo's side and helped him up from the ground:

"Your Honor, are you alright?"

Qiu Zhuo straightened his official hat and waved his hand to indicate that he was fine.

Fine my ass!

His career was over.

But so what if something happened? These people in front of him couldn't help at all.

Qiu Zhuo could only order:

"Immediately report to the prefecture yamen and the Six Doors that many masters of the Guiyi Sect attacked the county yamen, killing Bao Chao, the elder of the Senluo Sect, and Yang Jingye, the head of the Yang family."

"The county yamen is unable to deal with this matter, please make a quick decision."

Zhang You kept it in mind.

After Qiu Zhuo finished speaking, he asked again:

"Your Honor, then we… … should we go after those thieves from the Guiyi Sect?"

Qiu Zhuo glared at him:

"Of course we have to chase!"

"How can we sit idly by when someone breaks into the yamen and kills people under my jurisdiction?"

"Everyone come over! This official will personally lead the team and brave the rain to arrest the thieves!"

Chase?

It was impossible to really chase.

What could they do to those people even if they caught up?

But Qiu Zhuo had been an official for many years and knew the importance of appearances.

No matter how the matter was handled, the attitude must be shown.

Immediately, the surrounding yamen runners gathered around, carrying water and fire sticks, iron chains, and iron rulers, following behind Qiu Zhuo.

The group marched out of the county yamen in a mighty manner.

Of course, their pace was very slow.

It was so slow that even Qiu Zhuo himself felt embarrassed, so he could only say that his foot was injured by a broken tile falling from the roof just now and he couldn't walk fast.

Zhang You led a group of yamen runners and also said that in order to ensure Qiu Zhuo's safety, they would definitely guard Qiu Zhuo's side to the death and would not leave him for half a step.

They finally arrived at the gate of the county yamen.

But when they saw the situation outside, they stopped one after another.

Qiu Zhuo was also taken aback:

"This… … this… …"

The heavy rain was still falling non-stop.

But the gate of the county yamen was already surrounded by a tight encirclement.

Countless people stood outside the county yamen.

Looking around, the rain curtain was full of moving heads, and the entire county yamen was surrounded by the crowd.

Especially since these people were all wearing yellow turbans, they were all members of the Taiping Dao!

So many people stood in the heavy rain, coldly watching Qiu Zhuo and the others at the gate of the county yamen.

This made Qiu Zhuo dare not step out of the county yamen.

At the same time, a burst of noise came from the side.

That was the place outside the county yamen where carriages were parked, and the Yang family's luxurious carriage team was parked here.

But at this moment, the people of the Taiping Dao were pressing all the servants and coachmen of the Yang family's carriage team into the muddy water on the ground.

The other Taiping Dao people drilled into the Yang family's carriages, rummaging through boxes and cabinets to search.

Qiu Zhuo's heart skipped a beat.

He felt a little guilty.

After all, he knew about the Yang family's plan to kill the Great Virtuous Teacher.

Could it be… …

Was it because the matter was exposed after the death of the Great Virtuous Teacher, and the Taiping Dao came to cause trouble?

This made Qiu Zhuo very nervous, and he whispered to the yamen runners behind him:

"What's going on?"

"The Taiping Dao has surrounded the yamen, and no one has come to report it? And no one has gone to notify the city defense army to come over?"

"Also, didn't I tell you to take good care of the Yang family's carriages? Why didn't anyone stop the people from the Taiping Dao from rummaging through them?"

The yamen runners all lowered their heads and remained silent, and no one answered.

Even the yamen runners guarding the gate of the county yamen were all looking at their noses and minds.

As long as Qiu Zhuo didn't ask them, they would all pretend not to hear.

"Huh?"

Qiu Zhuo frowned, what's wrong with these yamen runners today?

Zhang You tugged at Qiu Zhuo's sleeve from behind, leaned close to Qiu Zhuo's ear and whispered:

"Your Honor, please don't be angry now."

"Seven or eight out of ten of these yamen runners have joined the Taiping Dao. Even the city defense soldiers are roughly the same… …"

Qiu Zhuo was shocked when he heard this.

The Taiping Dao was developing so fast?

He realized now that he was gradually losing control of even the county yamen.

Qiu Zhuo looked again at the crowd of Taiping Dao people blocking the gate of the county yamen.

If so many people really caused trouble, then he might not only lose his official position today, but even his life.

Qiu Zhuo immediately waved his hand at Zhang You, signaling Zhang You to go and negotiate.

Zhang You immediately stepped forward, with a flattering smile on his face:

"Everyone, this yamen gate is not a place where you can stay at will."

"I wonder what everyone is here for, is there any grievance?"

"Please send a representative to come out and talk to us, no matter what the problem is, the yamen can help you solve it."

Rumble.

The heavy rain was still falling non-stop.

Countless people of the Taiping Dao stood in the heavy rain, still silent.

This kind of silent oppression made Zhang You unable to continue speaking, and he could only retreat back to Qiu Zhuo's side.

Seeing this, Qiu Zhuo knew that he had to go.

He could only bite the bullet, took two steps forward, and then cupped his hands at the crowd:

"Fellow villagers, this official—"

Before he could finish speaking.

A clap of thunder in the sky interrupted his words.

"Rumble rumble rumble!!!!!"

The rolling thunder continued for several sounds before it subsided.

Following closely.

The crowd of Taiping Dao people blocking the gate of the yamen suddenly made way for a path.

Two people walked towards the gate of the yamen along this path.

Miao Yuanzheng was holding an umbrella.

And the person under the umbrella was Liang Jin.

Qiu Zhuo's eyelids twitched when he saw this, and his face showed an expression as if he had seen a ghost.

The Great Virtuous Teacher… … wasn't dead after all?!
