As these words came out, Qiu Zhuo finally raised his head:

"Difficult to arrest? Is there some kind of background?"

Clerk Zhang has always been prudent in his actions. For him to say that someone is difficult to arrest, there must be another reason.

"What are you all doing? Letting the Taiping Dao develop to so many people before reporting to this official?"

Qiu Zhuo's heart was burning with anger.

A demon leading tens of thousands of believers, if he causes any trouble, would he still want to wear the official hat on his head?

Zhang You explained helplessly:

"This subordinate really didn't expect that demon's ability to bewitch people's hearts to be so strong."

"In less than a month, he was able to incite so many ignorant people."

"Even this subordinate only just learned about this matter."

Qiu Zhuo was slightly silent upon hearing this.

The speed at which he bewitched people was indeed caught people off guard.

In addition, the recent plague has been rampant, and the county town and county government have been sealed off, resulting in poor information flow.

This allowed that demon to take advantage of the situation.

"Clerk Zhang, what do you think should be done about this matter?"

Qiu Zhuo asked.

He knew very well that Zhang You was meticulous in his work, and whenever he reported something to Qiu Zhuo, he would definitely think of a countermeasure first.

Sure enough, Zhang You replied:

"Your Honor, this Taiping Dao is a serious hidden danger and must be eradicated."

"But there are many Taiping Dao believers, and those ignorant people will not reason with us. If we go directly to arrest people, I'm afraid we won't get any good."

"This subordinate thinks it's best to catch the thief first. As long as we can find a way to secretly arrest that demon, and then the county government issues a public notice to appease the people, the Taiping Dao will collapse without being attacked."

Qiu Zhuo felt that this made sense.

With the general direction set, the specific details would be left to his subordinates to handle.

Immediately, Qiu Zhuo decided:

"This matter will be handed over to you."

"This official will give you the greatest support and require all departments to cooperate with your actions."

"The action must be decisive, striving for a single hit, and never give the demon a chance to take advantage. Rather kill him than let him escape."

"Get it done as soon as possible, and don't let this official be disappointed."

Zhang You was Qiu Zhuo's confidant.

Now that this matter was important, Qiu Zhuo was most relieved to hand it over to Zhang You.

Zhang You immediately accepted the order:

"Zhang You will definitely not fail his mission!"

… … … … … …

… … … … … …

Imperial Palace.

Sweeping Department.

"Zhao Bao, a eunuch from the Sweeping Department, has worked hard and diligently, and has now become a ninth-rank martial artist."

"Effective immediately, he will be transferred to the Zongwu Mansion and given an important task."

The transfer order regarding Zhao Bao was quickly delivered to the Sweeping Department.

The old eunuch Ma Shengui and a group of young eunuchs were all dumbfounded after receiving the transfer order.

How did that kid Zhao Bao become a martial artist?

Martial artists are not scarce in the Imperial Palace.

Among the tens of thousands of eunuchs in the palace, at least one-tenth are martial artists.

But since he has become a martial artist, it naturally means that he has more opportunities for better promotions.

After all, the duty of the Zongwu Mansion is to recruit martial artist eunuchs in the palace, train them, and then either send them to various departments in the palace to serve as backbones, or send them to serve the imperial relatives.

Now that Zhao Bao has suddenly become a martial artist, the most angry person is naturally Ma Shengui.

"Zhao Bao!"

"You little brat, you're good at hiding and practicing martial arts, and you've actually become a martial artist?"

"When you were practicing martial arts, why didn't you tell this old one?"

"Don't you take this old one, your master, seriously?"

Ma Shengui immediately called Zhao Bao to question him.

A group of young eunuchs around him also glared at Zhao Bao.

Who knows how far Zhao Bao's martial arts can reach in the future?

If he has excellent talent and has the opportunity to become a seventh-rank martial artist in the future, then Ma Shengui will have to salute when he sees him.

Zhao Bao looked at the surprised and angry gazes of the crowd, and the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

He bowed and replied:

"Master, how dare this little one not take you old man seriously?"

"Master's kindness to this little one is as deep as the sea, and this little one will always remember it clearly."

"We have a long time to come, and one day this little one will definitely repay Master's great kindness."

Zhao Bao's words sounded perfect.

But in his tone, he revealed a undisguised resentment and sinister ruthlessness.

It was chilling!

His gaze slowly swept over the remaining young eunuchs, as if he wanted to firmly remember their appearance:

"And everyone, I will always remember you too."

The young eunuchs who were swept by his gaze felt as if they were being stared at by a poisonous snake, which made them involuntarily get goosebumps.

They all knew very well that Zhao Bao was going to take revenge in the future!

After all, they had not spared any effort in tormenting Zhao Bao on weekdays.

Ma Shengui suddenly laughed loudly:

"Hahahaha! Zhao Bao, you haven't even walked out of the gate of the Sweeping Department, and you've already started to get carried away?"

"It's just a mere ninth-rank martial artist, there are as many as hairs in the palace."

“Moreover, your grandfather’s position is still higher than yours!”

“Your grandfather can clean up you little bastard now, it’s as easy as pie!”

Speaking of this, Ma Shengui's face was full of ferocity.

He pointed at Zhao Bao and shouted sharply:

"Zhao Bao, Zhao Bao, in my eyes, you will always be a shit-eating dog!"

"Little ones! All of you, come at him for me!"

"First, cripple this shit-eating dog! Lest this shit-eating dog bite us back in the future!"

Ma Shengui was also decisive.

He knew very well that he had already offended Zhao Bao to death. Now that Zhao Bao was transferred away from his command, he might retaliate if he became prosperous in the future.

Then it would be better to cripple Zhao Bao in advance!

Ma Shengui could still bear the responsibility for crippling a ninth-rank martial artist who had not yet formally joined the Zongwu Mansion.

"Master, we obey!"

A group of young eunuchs picked up wooden sticks and aimed them at Zhao Bao.

It was true that Zhao Bao was a martial artist, but he was only a ninth-rank martial artist, especially one who had just been promoted to the ninth rank.

Ninth-rank martial artists are stronger than ordinary people, but they can't stand up to a large number of people!

Zhao Bao had a sinister smile on his face, standing still.

These young eunuchs looked at each other, with murderous intent flashing in their eyes.

"Kill him!"

They also knew very well that if they didn't get rid of Zhao Bao today, there would be endless troubles.

Immediately, the young eunuchs raised their wooden sticks one after another, ready to smash them down on Zhao Bao.

Suddenly—

Only a sharp voice was heard:

"Let this old one see who dares to move?"

As soon as the words fell, a gust of palm wind suddenly struck.

The young eunuchs surrounding Zhao Bao were blown away by the palm wind as if they had been hit hard, spitting blood and falling to the ground.

The next moment.

A group of mighty eunuchs rushed in.

They were all dressed in dark red robes, wearing blue gauze hats, and pink-soled black boots.

"It's someone from the Zongwu Mansion!"

This sudden scene shocked Ma Shengui.

But the person who appeared next directly frightened Ma Shengui to kneel on the ground:

"This little one didn't know that Eunuch Li had come in person, please forgive this little one!"

Only after the eunuchs of the Zongwu Mansion appeared, a fat old eunuch with a big belly walked in.

The old eunuch's fat face was full of smiles, but the smile always made people feel frightened.

He was the head of the Zongwu Mansion, Li Dafu.

This person not only had a high position and great power, but also had unfathomable martial arts skills.

The most rare thing was that he also had a good reputation as a "great philanthropist" in the palace.

But despite being known as Li the Great Philanthropist, this did not mean that Li Dafu had no power.

Ma Shengui, an insignificant small character, was like an ant in front of a great eunuch like Li Dafu!

"Who is it, who wants to bully this old one's godson?"

Li Dafu stood still, squinting his eyes and smiling.

These words were like a thunderbolt, shocking Ma Shengui and a group of young eunuchs to look at each other.

Godson?

Who is Li Dafu's godson?

Is there such a noble person here?

The next moment.

Zhao Bao came to Li Dafu's side, bowing slightly:

"Godfather, you old man are finally here."

These words almost scared Ma Shengui to death!
