Chapter 21 is a master
Seeing that the situation is becoming more and more serious.

The county lieutenant and the head constable looked at each other, ready to take the initiative and chop down a few people to intimidate the whole crowd.

Both of them are warriors!
The captain of the police is a ninth-rank warrior, and the county lieutenant is even an eighth-rank warrior.

The strength of these two people is the confidence of the officers and soldiers.

Only by shocking everyone first can we avoid a melee.

At the critical moment, a cold snort sounded:
"Who dares to act rashly?!"

Along with this cold snort, a strong murderous intent instantly locked onto the two of them.

The county lieutenant and the head constable turned around in horror, only to see Miao Yuan standing on a high platform with a long sword on his back, glaring at them angrily.

This surprised the two of them:
"He's a master!"

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

However, his strong murderous intent and powerful aura actually caused panic in the hearts of the county lieutenant and the captain of the police.

This made the two of them suspect that Miao Yuanzheng's strength was definitely not weaker than the eighth rank.

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

The two of them suddenly lost their previous confidence.

They also realized that their intelligence about the Taiping Dao was seriously wrong.

This made the two of them glare at Lu Tianxing angrily.

There is such a powerful warrior in Taiping Dao, why didn’t they listen to Lu Tianxing’s report?

Lu Tianxing also felt innocent.

He was just an ordinary person and didn't know martial arts, so he had no way of judging Miao Yuanzheng's strength.

In addition, Lu Tianxing has never been deeply involved in the affairs of Taiping Dao, and knows very little about Miao Yuanzheng.

But at this point, the officers and soldiers are in a difficult situation.

It seems that this melee and fighting are probably inevitable.

At this time.

Liang Jin asked loudly:

"Where is the person in charge of the government office?"

"Now that things have come to this, why don't you come out and see me?"

As the questioning continued, both the county lieutenant and the head constable fell silent. It was obvious that although these two men represented the military force of the yamen, they were not the decision makers tonight.

Then, a person walked out from the crowd.

He was a man wearing green clothes and had a goatee under his chin.

He clasped his fists slightly towards Liang Jin on the platform:

"I am Zhang You, the legal advisor of the Yamen. Nice to meet you, Master Sage."

The legal advisor has no real power in the yamen.

However, because he was the magistrate's confidant and staff, he could often represent the magistrate's opinions.

As soon as Zhang You appeared, even the county lieutenant didn't say a word. It was obvious that Zhang You was the one in charge tonight.

Liang Jin asked:

"Master Zhang brought people to visit in the middle of the night. What do you want?"

Zhang You glanced at the excited patients surrounding him from all sides, then at the group of farmhands armed with spears led by Lu Qiannan, and finally at Miao Yuanzheng, who was full of murderous intent.

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

"Our county lord has heard that the great and virtuous master can cure illnesses and save the people with talismans and water. He is truly compassionate."

"So the county lord wants to invite the great and virtuous teacher to his residence for a chat, and he has no ill intentions."

Naturally, no one would believe this.

Lu Qiannan was the first to rebuke:
"You bastards are the best at lying. You brought so many officers and soldiers with you and said you were inviting people over?"

"If it weren't for everyone's protection, I'm afraid the Great Sage Master would have been captured by you long ago!"

"Get out of Lujia Village right now, or you won't be able to come back!"

After saying that, Lu Qiannan shook the spear in his hand.

The rest of the farmhands also pointed their guns at the officers and soldiers, and the patients also became emotional, waving benches, bricks, hoes and other simple weapons in their hands.

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

Liang Jin waved his hand to stop everyone's impulse.

He smiled slightly and said:
"Since the County Master has invited me, I will naturally go."

"People from the Taiping Dao, please step back and don't stop the officers."

"Prepare the wooden sedan chair. I will go with Master Zhang to see the county magistrate."

When Lu Qiannan heard this, she whispered anxiously:
"Great and virtuous teacher, you can't go!"

"If you go, those corrupt officials might harm you!"

In Lujiazhuang, we have the confidence because we have so many people protecting us.

But if I go to the county government office, then no one will be able to help me.

Better to be thrown into jail.

In serious cases, the person may be beheaded! Liang Jin simply replied:

"I am under the protection of Huang Tian. You don't have to worry about my safety."

"I have my own plan for this matter, so don't say anything more."

Liang Jin had his own considerations.

Firstly, although the Taiping Dao was on the rise, it had only just started and was too weak to directly confront the government.

Especially now, the people's hearts are not united enough. They are afraid when facing the government and panic when they are labeled as rebels.

Some people of status, such as Lu Tianxing and Xu Gui, even openly betrayed and defected to the government.

Liang Jin has already found a solution to this problem.

What people get easily is hard to cherish.

But if you take something away again, you will naturally understand its value.

They also understood more clearly that the person who gave them things in the first place was the one they should be loyal to.

Therefore, Liang Jin had long planned to advance in order to retreat, and now he just took this opportunity to achieve his goal.

Secondly, he and the county government may not be absolutely hostile to each other, and they may not necessarily have common interests.

Liang Jin also planned to advance in order to retreat while putting more pressure on the county government to force it to compromise.

If we turn against each other now, we will lose the opportunity to tie the county government together.

It was for this reason that Liang Jin decided to go to the county government office.

He is not afraid whether he is visiting or going to jail.

But if the county government really kills him regardless of the consequences, Liang Jin will completely turn against him.

Relying on his seventh-rank martial arts and sixth-rank war puppet, he could easily break out of the county government office.

Taiyang County is just a small place, and there is no warrior here who can compete with him.

"Qiannan, I can go alone, so you don't have to go. After all, you should manage Taiping Dao for me while I'm away, and you will be in charge of all matters."

"Remember, don't get entangled with the people in the county government. After all, we, the Taiping Dao, are here to save the people from the epidemic, not to rebel."

"But if the county government wants to force the people to rebel and suppress the Taiping Dao, then we should mobilize all the followers to fight to the death."

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

Liang Jin explained to Lu Qiannan.

Although Lu Qiannan was worried, she could not disobey Liang Jin's orders.

So she had no choice but to obey the order.

Liang Jin was about to walk down from the platform.

Miao Yuanzheng suddenly said:

"I'll let you go."

"You can't be in trouble. My son is still waiting for you to treat his illness."

"Let me be by your side, I will feel at ease."

Liang Jin looked at Miao Yuanzheng and nodded in agreement.

Originally, Liang Jin's own martial arts strength was enough, but if he could avoid showing his martial arts strength, he could keep an extra trump card.

So Liang Jin took Miao Yuanzheng down from the platform.

The sedan chair has been brought by the Taiping Dao believers.

"Master Zhang, let's go."

After Liang Jin finished speaking, he got into the sedan chair.

Four believers lifted the sedan chair and walked outside.

Miao Yuanzheng followed the sedan chair all the time.

Seeing this, Zhang You breathed a sigh of relief.

Liang Jin was persuaded to leave Lujiazhuang without resorting to violence, which was a successful outcome.

He also gave an explanation to the county magistrate.

Zhang You turned around and said to Lu Tianxing and Xu Gui:
"You two stay and continue doing what you need to do."

After saying that, Zhang You and a group of officers and soldiers also left quickly.

As the officers and soldiers left, the surrounding patients immediately gathered around and surrounded Lu Tianxing and Xu Gui.

After all, the two men had status in the Taiping Dao, so no one dared to beat them rashly.

They just asked in a deep voice with anger:

"Master Lu, Master Xu, if something happens to the Great Sage Master, we would like to ask you two what to do about our illness."

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

"Our families are suffering from the plague right now. If anything happens to them, don't blame us for being rude to you!"

……

Faced with everyone's accusations, the two did not panic.

Lu Tianxing and Xu Gui exchanged a glance, then loudly answered everyone:
"Don't panic, everyone. We certainly have a way!"
