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

Chapter 187 What’s so difficult about this?

Government office.

It's almost dawn.

The sky in the east was already turning pale.

A group of officials and yamen runners gathered at the gate.

After a busy night, their work was completed and they were just waiting for the right time to start.

At this moment, they all looked nervous and wanted to put their ears against the door to listen to the movement outside.

Outside...

Too much silence.

There are no more slogans shouting about killing the sheep demon and quelling the plague.

There were no countless people gathering in the streets.

All they saw were a lot of people running and wandering back and forth, but none of the officials in the yamen knew what they were doing specifically.

But they were certain that the war between Taiping Dao and the Yang family was probably coming to an end.

suddenly!

"Boom boom boom!"

There was a knock on the door.

This scared all the officials.

The yamen runners hurriedly grasped the water and fire sticks, trying to block the gate.

at this time.

Suddenly a voice sounded outside:
"Zhang You, the chief priest of the Taiping Dao, requests an audience with the Lord!"

When Gao Yuan heard this, he instantly understood too much information.

He spoke quickly:
"Open the door quickly!"

"Let Zhang You in!"

The gate of the government office slowly opened.

There was a group of Yellow Turbans standing outside the door, led by Zhang You, whom Gao Yuan had met before.

Zhang You was trustworthy and showed up as promised.

Zhang You bowed to Gao Yuan with a humble attitude.

Gao Yuan asked hurriedly:

"it's over?"

Zhang You nodded slightly.

Gao Yuan asked again:
"How are the Yang family?"

Zhang You shook his head slightly.

Upon hearing this, an official couldn't help but take a deep breath.

They haven't gotten used to this outcome yet.

The Yang family has flourished and gained deep roots in Qingzhou City, and has been domineering for decades.

How could it disappear overnight?
Gao Yuan had a complicated expression.

The Yang family being gone is not a bad thing for him.

But the loss of the Yang family and the increase of the Taiping Dao were not good things for him.

But now, he can only stand with Taiping Dao.

Zhang You said:
"Whatever the Lord wants to do, the time has come."

Gao Yuan's heart trembled when he heard this.

Could it be that... there are also Taiping Dao members in the government office?

His eyes couldn't help but sweep across the officials and yamen runners.

But he then gave up trying to find the spy.

Nowadays, the government office is full of leaks. It is normal that either the people inside are from the Yang family or the Taiping Dao.

Gao Yuan stretched his head and looked outside the government office.

Then he pointed outside and said:
"The city is still in chaos. If we go out, we will probably be attacked by the victims. What can I do?"

"Tens of thousands of disaster victims are running rampant. I'm afraid even you, the Taiping Dao, can't restrain them now, right?"

Gao Yuan knew very well that once a person's inner desires were released, they could not be taken back in a short period of time.

These are tens of thousands of disaster victims!
Neither the government office nor the Taiping Dao were able to restrain them at this moment of order collapse.

Zhang You just smiled slightly:
"Your Excellency, are you underestimating the Way of Peace and the Great Sage Master?"

"Isn't it just to restrain the victims and calm the unrest in the city?"

"What's so difficult about this?"

Gao Yuan and a group of officials frowned slightly.

Don't brag like this!
They have been in office for so long and are very experienced, and they know very well that the current situation is a complete mess.

It is easy to let these disaster victims into the city, and it is also easy to let them cause chaos.

But getting them to stop causing trouble and leave the city is as difficult as climbing to the sky!
Unless a large army comes to suppress it forcefully, no one can do anything.

How could this Taiping Dao possibly do this?
However, when facing the questioning of a group of officials, Zhang You just smiled slightly.

Then Zhang You stood up straight and pointed his hand towards the distance.

"Dang Dang Dang Dang!!!"

The sound of a clear gong echoed through the dawn.

The loud sound of the gong also lifted everyone's spirits.

On the street, a group of Yellow Turbans were beating gongs and shouting:
"The Taiping Dao is distributing talisman water by the river outside the city!"

"All those infected with the plague, come outside the city and drink the magic water to heal your illness!"

Not only this group of Yellow Turbans were shouting.

On every street in the city, the Yellow Turbans were beating drums and shouting.

Following their shouts, countless victims poured out from everywhere.

The only thing that can stop the victims from venting their anger is something that can save their lives.

"The talisman water is finally being distributed! Oh my god! I've finally been waiting for this moment!"

"The Great Sage Master said that once the Sheep Demon is slain, Zhong Huang Tai Yi will be able to continue bestowing talismanic water to save the world. It seems he wasn't lying to us!"

"I have to go get the talisman water quickly, or my family won't be able to hold on any longer!"

"Hurry up! Go get the talisman water! Who knows if there's still any left if you go too late?"

……

Suddenly, more and more disaster victims gathered on the streets again.

They rushed forward and ran madly towards the outside of the city.

The streets, where the disaster victims were originally wandering around, became empty after just a while.

Obviously, most of the victims have left the city to collect the talisman water.

As long as the victims leave the city temporarily, it will be much easier to maintain order.

Gao Yuan and a group of officials were stunned when they saw this scene.

At the same time, I was speechless.

The Taiping Dao indeed accomplished things that they could not do and dared not even imagine.

but.

This also made the officials feel a little scared.

The Taiping Dao's ability to organize the people was so strong that it was beyond the control of the government.

When the Yang family was in power, the people hated them, but the officials supported them.

But now the situation of Taiping Dao is completely different. The people support it and the officials fear it.

In this case, we can only wait until the future to know which one is better.

Zhang You smiled and said:

"Now that the victims have left, why don't you quickly stabilize the city and set up checkpoints at the city gates?"

Gao Yuan was silent for a moment. What Zhang You said was exactly what he wanted to do.

Gao Yuan turned around, looked at the officials and servants, and gave an order:
"According to my previous instructions, everyone quickly organize your manpower and take action!"

Everyone replied in unison:

"I'll obey!"

After saying this, a group of officials and yamen runners quickly took action.

They ran out of the government office gate and disappeared on the streets.

…………

The sky finally brightened.

The sun has risen into the sky.

The ordinary people, who had been frightened all night, finally walked out of the door and anxiously asked what happened in the city last night.

Many people were completely stunned when they passed by the Yang family.

This luxurious and beautiful house was reduced to ruins overnight.

Traces of burning can be seen everywhere, and wisps of blue smoke are slowly rising.

A burst of firecrackers suddenly rang out.

"Crackling!!!"

Somewhere in the city, people were setting off firecrackers.

The sound of firecrackers spread like a plague and soon spread throughout the city.

At this time, the people of Qingzhou City were celebrating.

Celebrating the demise of the Yang family.

Although last night, not everyone had the courage to seek revenge on the Yang family.

But during the day, they also expressed their celebration of the demise of the Yang family in their own way.

Just like a festival.

The bailiffs and detectives also reappeared on the streets.

They were hunting down hooligans who were taking advantage of the chaos to commit crimes.

At this time, the bailiffs and detectives became much more friendly than usual.

They no longer ordered the people around or beat or scolded them at will. Instead, they became kind-hearted and had smiles on their faces at all times.

This also made the people feel more at ease.

Official notices were posted everywhere on the streets.

The crowd gathered and looked at the content on the notice.

The more they watched, the more they gnashed their teeth:
"Damn the Yang family! They've done so many evil things!"

"I thought the Yang family had done enough bad things, but when the government office counted them, they discovered they had harmed so many people!"

"That's great! Those who were harmed by the Yang family have finally had their revenge!"

……

What was mentioned in the notice were all the heinous crimes of the Yang family.

The government also called on the people to report and expose the undiscovered crimes of the Yang family.

So a large number of people rushed to the government office to expose the crime.

Because there were so many people, there was even a long queue formed in front of the government office.

at this time.

In the government office.

The prefect Gao Yuan, the moral governor Feng Tian, ​​the commander Lu Yao, the magistrate Wang Xun and other major officials of Qingzhou gathered together.

They have completely figured out what happened last night.

They even have a complete grasp of many details.

Now, it's time to discuss how to wrap this up.

Gao Yuan spoke first:
"I invited you all here today to discuss how to determine the nature of last night's events so that we can report them to the court later."

"What the Taiping Dao said last night, was it considered a rebellion?"

As soon as this question was raised, a heated discussion broke out among the officials.

The first person to speak was Lu Yao, the leader of the Six Gates, as Gao Yuan had expected.

Lu Yao said with an angry look on his face:
"Why doesn't it count?"

"Killing so many officials in Qingzhou City is clearly an act of treason!"

Qi Xianghong, the leader of the Six Gates, died tragically last night. When Lu Yao went to collect the body, he only found a pile of ashes.

This made Lu Yao very dissatisfied with Taiping Dao.

Gao Yuan said calmly:

"Oh?"

"Then I would like to ask Commander Lu, which officials did the Taiping Dao kill?"

"There were only a few officials who died last night. Garrison Commander Lei Yu, was he killed by the Taiping Dao?"

"Was Tongzhi An Liangbi also killed by the Taiping Dao?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the first person who could not sit still was Feng Tian.

He stood up suddenly and glared at Gao Yuan.

After all, Lei Yu and An Liangbi both died at the hands of Feng Tian.

At this moment, Feng Tian had reason to suspect that Gao Yuan wanted to make him the scapegoat, which he absolutely could not tolerate.

Gao Yuan just waved at Feng Tian:
"Feng Caoshou, please be patient. I will explain your matter in detail later."

Feng Tian snorted coldly and could only sit down temporarily to see what the prefect was up to.

Lu Yao's face was displeased, and he said angrily:

"But our Six Gates Commander Qi was killed by the Great Sage Master!"

Based on this charge alone, Lu Yao was confident that he could convict the Taiping Dao of treason!
Gao Yuan heard this, but calmly asked back:
"Commander Lu, are you a witness?"

Lu Yao replied:

"of course!"

"I saw everything last night with my own eyes!"

"It was that great and virtuous teacher who summoned the heavenly thunder and killed Commander Qi!"

At this moment, Gao Yuan's face turned cold instantly.

He shouted in a deep voice:
"Why don't you listen to what you are saying?"

"There are no gods in this world who can summon thunder. If this kind of weird and supernatural talk is reported to the emperor, you will definitely be punished for deceiving the emperor!"

"Ask everyone here, does anyone believe that someone in this world can summon heavenly thunder?"

These words made Lu Yao's face turn red.

Indeed, if someone could summon thunder from heaven to kill people, wouldn't that person really be a god?
Who would believe such a thing?

Not only does the imperial court not believe it, the emperor absolutely does not believe it either!

If this matter were to be spread out, it would not only cause the world to laugh at it, but would also boost the arrogance of the Taiping Dao.

At this point, Lu Yao was speechless and didn't know how to explain.

Gao Yuan then said calmly:

"I also have many witnesses who can confirm one thing."

"Commander Qi was indeed killed by a thunderbolt."

"But there is no evidence to prove that the thunder was summoned by the Great Sage Master."

"Commander Lu, do you have any evidence?"

Lu Yao opened his mouth:

"This……"

He certainly had no evidence.

If there is evidence to prove that someone can summon heavenly thunder, he would have practiced Taoism long ago. Why would he still practice martial arts?
