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

Seeing the situation becoming increasingly grim.

The county sheriff and the head constable exchanged a look, already prepared to strike first, hoping to intimidate the crowd by felling a few.

Both of them were martial artists!

The head constable was a ninth-rank martial artist, while the county sheriff was even an eighth-rank martial artist.

Their strength was the confidence of the soldiers.

Only by intimidating the crowd first could they avoid a melee.

At this critical moment, a cold snort rang out:

"Who dares to act rashly?!"

Accompanying the cold snort, a strong killing intent instantly locked onto the two men.

The county sheriff and the head constable turned their heads in shock, only to see Miao Yuanzheng standing on the high platform, with a long saber on his back, glaring at them.

This greatly surprised them:

"He's an expert!"

Although Miao Yuanzheng had not yet made a move, making it difficult to judge his strength.

However, his intense killing intent and powerful aura actually caused a sense of panic to rise in the hearts of the county sheriff and the head constable.

This made them suspect that Miao Yuanzheng's strength was probably no weaker than the eighth rank.

"Damn it! How could there be such a powerful expert here?"

The two suddenly lost their previous confidence.

They also realized that their intelligence on the Taiping Dao was seriously flawed.

This made the two couldn't help but glare angrily at Lu Tianxing.

Why hadn't Lu Tianxing reported that there was such a powerful martial artist in the Taiping Dao?

Lu Tianxing also felt very innocent.

He was just an ordinary person and didn't know martial arts, so he couldn't judge Miao Yuanzheng's strength.

In addition, Lu Tianxing had never been deeply involved in the affairs of the Taiping Dao, so he knew very little about Miao Yuanzheng.

But as things stood, the soldiers were already in a difficult position.

It seemed that this melee and slaughter would be difficult to avoid.

At this time.

Liang Jin asked loudly:

"Where is the person in charge from the yamen?"

"Now that things have come to this, won't you come out to meet me?"

Accompanying the question, the county sheriff and the head constable were both slightly silent, obviously these two represented the yamen's force, but they were not the decision-makers tonight.

Then, a person walked out from the crowd.

It was a man in green clothes, with a goatee under his chin.

He cupped his fist slightly towards Liang Jin on the high platform:

"I am Zhang You, the yamen's advisor, greetings, Great Virtuous Teacher."

The advisor had no real power in the yamen.

But because he was the confidant and advisor of the county magistrate, he could often represent the county magistrate's opinions.

As soon as Zhang You appeared, even the county sheriff didn't speak, obviously Zhang You was the person in charge tonight.

Liang Jin asked:

"Advisor Zhang, what do you seek by visiting late at night with your men?"

Zhang You glanced slightly at the agitated patients surrounding them, then looked at the group of Zhuang residents led by Lu Qiannan carrying spears, and finally looked at Miao Yuanzheng, who was full of killing intent.

Finally, Zhang You put on a smiling face and replied:

"Our county magistrate has heard that the Great Virtuous Teacher can cure diseases with talisman water and save the people, which is truly compassionate."

"Therefore, the county magistrate would like to invite the Great Virtuous Teacher to the mansion for a chat, with no ill intentions."

Naturally, no one would believe these words.

Lu Qiannan was the first to scold:

"You dog officials are the best at deceiving people, bringing so many soldiers to say you're inviting someone as a guest?"

Zhang You frowned when he saw this situation and couldn't help but shrink back towards the soldiers.

Liang Jin waved his hand, stopping everyone's impulsiveness.

He smiled slightly:

"Since the county magistrate has invited me, I will naturally go."

"People of the Taiping Dao, step back, do not obstruct the government officials."

"Prepare a wooden sedan, and I will go with Advisor Zhang to see the county magistrate."

When Lu Qiannan heard this, she whispered anxiously:

"Great Virtuous Teacher, you can't go!"

"If you go, those dog officials will probably harm you!"

In the Lu Family Village, they had the confidence because they had so many people to protect them.

But if they went to the county yamen, they would be helpless.

At best, they would be thrown into prison.

At worst, they would be beheaded!

Liang Jin simply replied:

"I have the protection of the Yellow Heaven, you don't need to worry about my safety."

"I have my own plans for this matter, you don't need to say more."

Liang Jin had his own considerations.

Firstly, although the Taiping Dao was booming, it was still in its early stages and too weak to directly confront the government.

Especially now that the internal morale was not cohesive enough, they were timid when facing the government, and panicked when they were labeled as rebels.

And some people with status, such as Lu Tianxing and Xu Gui, even openly betrayed them and defected to the government.

Liang Jin already had a plan for this.

People find it difficult to cherish things they get easily.

But if you take back what they have already obtained, they will naturally understand its preciousness.

They will also understand even more that the person who gave them the things in the first place is the person they should be loyal to.

Therefore, Liang Jin had long planned to advance by retreating, and now he was taking this opportunity to achieve his goal.

Secondly, his relationship with the county yamen now might not be absolutely adversarial, and they might not be unable to have common interests.

Liang Jin also planned to put more pressure on the county yamen while advancing by retreating, forcing the county yamen to compromise.

If they turned against each other now, then they would lose the opportunity to tie the county yamen together.

That's why Liang Jin decided to go to the county yamen.

Whether he was going as a guest or to be imprisoned, he was not afraid.

But if the county yamen really disregarded everything and attacked, then Liang Jin would completely turn against them.

Relying on his seventh-rank martial arts and sixth-rank war puppet, he could easily kill his way out of the county yamen.

Taiyang County was just a small place, and there were no martial artists here who could compete with him.

"Qiannan, I'll go alone, don't go. After all, you have to manage the Taiping Dao for me during the days I'm away, and you will be in charge of all affairs."

"Remember, don't get entangled with the people from the county yamen. After all, our Taiping Dao is to save people from the epidemic, not to plot rebellion."

"But if the county yamen wants to force the people to rebel and encircle and suppress the Taiping Dao, then mobilize all the followers to resist to the death."

"I will come back then and continue to lead everyone."

Liang Jin instructed Lu Qiannan.

Although Lu Qiannan was worried, she couldn't disobey Liang Jin's orders.

So helplessly, she could only obey.

Liang Jin was about to walk down the high platform.

Miao Yuanzheng suddenly said:

"I'll go with you."

"You can't have anything happen, my son is still waiting for you to cure him."

"Let me be by your side, then I can rest assured."

Liang Jin looked at Miao Yuanzheng and nodded in agreement.

Originally, Liang Jin's own martial strength was already enough, but if he could avoid showing his martial strength, then he could keep another trump card.

So Liang Jin took Miao Yuanzheng down the high platform.

The sedan that the Taiping Dao believers had brought had already arrived.

"Advisor Zhang, let's go."

After Liang Jin finished speaking, he sat in the sedan.

Four believers lifted the sedan and walked outwards.

Miao Yuanzheng followed beside the sedan all the time.

Zhang You breathed a long sigh of relief when he saw this.

To persuade Liang Jin to leave the Lu Family Village without resorting to force was a satisfactory outcome.

He also had an explanation for the county magistrate.

Zhang You turned around and said to Lu Tianxing and Xu Gui:

"You two stay here and continue to do what you should do."

After speaking, Zhang You and a group of soldiers also quickly left.

As the soldiers left, the surrounding patients immediately surrounded them, surrounding Lu Tianxing and Xu Gui.

After all, the two also had status in the Taiping Dao, so everyone didn't dare to beat them rashly.

They just asked in a deep voice with anger:

"Village Chief Lu, Master Xu, if something happens to the Great Virtuous Teacher, then we would like to ask you two, what should we do about our illnesses?"

"Do you two even know how many people will be killed by doing this?"

"Our family members are now suffering from the plague, if anything happens to them, don't blame us for being impolite to you!"

......

Faced with everyone's accusations, the two were not flustered.

Lu Tianxing and Xu Gui looked at each other, and then answered loudly to everyone:

"Don't panic everyone, of course, we have a solution!"
