Chapter 32: Being Bullied by Both Sides
No one knows what the two people in the cell talked about.

All everyone knew was that in the end, Qiu Zhuo and Liang Jin walked out of the cell together.

They did not stay in the yamen, but walked all the way outside it.

A group of yamen runners immediately beat the gongs and drums, and the noise was deafening.

The civilians and city defense forces who were originally in conflict stopped when they saw Liang Jin and Qiu Zhuo.

Especially Liang Jin.

The moment the people saw Liang Jin walking out of the yamen, they couldn't help but cheer.

The noise was quickly suppressed by the gongs and drums of the yamen runners, and the scene became quiet as soon as the gongs and drums stopped.

Immediately, Qiu Zhuo announced to everyone:

"I had a misunderstanding about the Great Sage Master before, but now the misunderstanding has been resolved."

"I also know that the Great Sage Master is a truly compassionate sage who saves the people, and the Taiping Dao is an organization that guides people to good."

"From now on, the county government will work together with the Taiping Dao to guide and educate the people."

"As for the conflict between the military and civilians in the yamen tonight, I will also forgive it."

"Next, the Great Sage Master will give everyone talismans and water to heal their illnesses."

After Qiu Zhuo finished speaking, Liang Jin slowly walked into the crowd.

The crowd dispersed and surrounded Liang Jin in the middle.

Even later on, some people couldn't help but kneel down and worship Liang Jin.

This immediately triggered a trend.

A large number of people knelt down and begged Liang Jin for treatment.

Liang Jin stood in the crowd and said loudly:

"Huang Tian has issued a decree. Anyone in the city who drinks the talisman water today will not die of illness!"

These words immediately caused everyone to cheer loudly.

Their shouts resounded through the night sky and shook the entire city.

Under Liang Jin's arrangement, a large pot of boiling water was quickly prepared.

Then the people began to chant scriptures with Liang Jin and pray to Huang Tian.

Immediately afterwards, bowls of talisman water were brewed and distributed to everyone.

At this time, the officers, soldiers and yamen runners quickly joined the people and begged Liang Jin for talisman water to cure the plague for themselves and their families.

The conflict that had just broken out was calmed down so quickly.

Seeing this scene, Qiu Zhuo finally breathed a sigh of relief:

"it is finally over."

He understood that if he kept his official position, he would also save his life.

And next, the Great Sage Master will join forces with him, one openly and one secretly, to attack the rich people in the city.

The tasks assigned by superiors can also be completed smoothly.

Reputation and future were also saved.

It can be said to be a win-win situation.

However, when Qiu Zhuo looked at Liang Jin, who was worshipped by thousands of people, he couldn't help but feel worried.

He didn't know what would happen after releasing this monster and pushing him onto the platform.

But he was powerless to do anything about it, he knew that this monster was completely out of his control.

Qiu Zhuo just wanted to make achievements and get promoted quickly.

Fortunately, this evil guy was transferred away from here as soon as possible before he caused any trouble!

………………

Juniu Township.

Lujiazhuang.

Lu Tianxing returned here dejectedly.

When he stood at the gate of the village, he stopped in fear.

He didn't know how to face those people who trusted him, listened to him, left Taipingdao, and waited for him to bring back medicine to treat their illnesses.

A few days ago, he was full of confidence and happy that he had completely solved the hidden dangers in Lujiazhuang.

But now, he was timid.

The government deceived him in order to achieve its goal.

But he could do nothing about it.

If it was just him, he would have endured it.

But he carries a lot of expectations.

While Lu Tianxing was still struggling, the patients discovered him.

In a blink of an eye, a large number of patients gathered around.

"Master Lu, how's the situation? Did you bring back any medicine?"

"Why do you have nothing in your hands? Is the medicine somewhere else? We are all waiting for your medicine to heal us."

"Master Lu, please give us some advice! What's going on? Where's your explanation? Where's your medicine? Please tell us all."

……

Everyone kept urging.

Everyone's face was filled with anxiety.

Lu Tianxing knew that everyone's illness could not be delayed any longer, so he was extremely anxious.

But he... was powerless. Lu Tianxing looked at everyone with tears in his eyes, his lips moving but no words came out.

In the end, all that came out was a long sigh.

As he sighed, Lu Tianxing seemed to have aged several years in an instant.

Looking at his expression, even the dullest person would understand what was going on.

So the next moment, all kinds of abuse came immediately:

"Lu Tianxing! Has your conscience really been eaten by a dog? If you hadn't deceived us, how could we have been harmed so badly by you?"

"You have to pay for my mother's life! If I hadn't believed your nonsense, how could my mother's illness be delayed?"

"If we had followed the Great Sage Master, everything would have been fine! If we hadn't believed in you, a bastard, how could we have ended up like this?"

"Go to hell! You damned traitor! You yamen running dog, bastard!"

……

Along with the scolding came a frenzied beating.

Lu Tianxing was beaten unconscious, and then woke up in pain.

He's taken too many beatings today.

He felt that he could not hold on any longer and would be beaten to death by these people.

Lu Tianxing felt extremely regretful about this.

If it weren't for his betrayal, how could he have ended up in this situation?
But even if I regret it now, I can't save the situation.

At this time.

Suddenly there was a burst of cheers.

Immediately afterwards, the crowd surrounding Lu Tianxing and beating him dispersed and left.

Only then did Lu Tianxing recover.

He wiped the blood from his face and looked up.

I saw two long yellow flags fluttering in the wind, and a group of people wearing yellow turbans on their heads walked over.

A beautiful girl walked at the front, receiving everyone's respect.

The patients who had beaten Lu Tianxing before also joined the girl's team.

"It's Qiannan!"

"Did she come to rescue me?"

Lu Tianxing recognized his daughter and felt excited.

however.

When Lu Qiannan led the crowd past Lu Tianxing, she didn't even look at him and just walked straight past him.

More patients gathered from all directions and followed Lu Qiannan.

They seemed to be leaving Lujiazhuang and heading into the thick night.

This made Lu Tianxing confused, and he hurriedly asked loudly:

"Qiannan, what's going on?"

Lu Qiannan didn't answer at all, but just led the crowd forward.

She didn't even look at him.

However, some patients in the crowd sneered at Lu Tianxing:
"Lu Tianxing, don't you know yet?"

"The government recently released the Great Sage Master and honored him, promising to vigorously develop the Taiping Dao."

"Now the Great Sage Master has distributed talismans and water for healing in the city, and all those infected with the plague are rushing to the county town."

"The Divine Envoy will now lead us to assist the Great Sage Master and save the world together."

When Lu Tianxing heard this, it was as if he was hit by a blow.

Is it...

The government and that evildoer have reached a settlement or even started cooperating?

How can this be?

How could the government tolerate the development of the Taiping Dao? Shouldn't the county magistrate have beheaded that evildoer as a public display?
Lu Tianxing couldn't figure it out.

But he felt deeply betrayed!

He was like a discarded pawn, who was used by the government and then ruthlessly abandoned, and now he was even betrayed.

From then on, he would not only be despised by the Taiping Dao, but he would also be in trouble in front of the government.

It's your own fault, you're being bullied by both sides!
The patients sneered at Lu Tianxing:
"Lu Tianxing, you've been a running dog for the government. Now even your master has joined the Great Sage Master in rescuing people. Your good days as a running dog are over."

"You, the Great Sage Master, saved your life, you lackey, but you turned your back on me. You're simply an ungrateful idiot."

"I've never seen such a heartless traitor. You'd better not show up in Lujia Village again, or I'll beat you up every time I see you!"

……

The patients hated Lu Tianxing to the extreme.

Lu Tianxing delayed their treatment and tricked them into leaving Taiping Dao.

If they cannot get the talisman water in the city this time, they will vent all their anger on Lu Tianxing.

It's possible that he will be skinned alive by then!

Lu Tianxing could no longer listen to these insults.

He sat on the ground, lost in thought, like a walking corpse with its soul lost.
"Impossible... How could this happen..."

"I don't believe it...I want to go and see for myself!"
