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

Chapter 49 Am I wrong?

The restaurant owner quickly replied:

"The Great Sage Master is already waiting for the County Master in the box."

After hearing this, Qiu Zhuo finally felt at ease.

He was originally worried that the Great Sage Master would be late, and that he, the ruler of a county, would have to wait for him. If this got out, he would lose all face.

In the past, he would never worry about such things. Who in Taiyang County would dare to make him wait?
But now, if the Great Sage Master really did that, Qiu Zhuo would really be helpless.

The Taiping Dao has become too powerful in Taiyang County.

There were more people who went to the county to listen to the Taiping Dao than to the government.

Even Qiu Zhuo felt a little afraid.

He knew that after the plague he would be transferred to a higher position and leave this place completely.

So he could not mind the gradual loss of power of the local county government, but he could not tolerate the deprivation of the dignity of the county magistrate.

Fortunately, the Great Sage Master did not offend him, so that he couldn't help but feel a little grateful in his heart.

Qiu Zhuo met with the Great Sage today to conduct a new round of negotiations.

A while ago, Qiu Zhuo teamed up with the Great Sage Master to deal with the disobedient rich people in the city and obtained a lot of money.

However, all this money was taken away by the Taiping Dao alone and was never distributed to Qiu Zhuo as agreed.

Qiu Zhuo was in a hurry to complete the task assigned by his boss, so he had to get the money back today.

At the same time, the Taiping Dao developed rapidly, and the number of members became so large that it was difficult to count.

Qiu Zhuo also needed a means to check and balance the Taiping Dao, so he asked the Taiping Dao to hand over the list many times, but the Taiping Dao never responded.

So today, he also needs to ask the Great Sage Master for an explanation.

"Let's go, it's time to meet the great and virtuous teacher."

"He has done a lot of good things for me and the county, but don't keep him waiting too long."

Qiu Zhuo said this and walked towards the restaurant with his lawyer Zhang You.

……

When the magistrate and his lawyer entered the restaurant,
Another street.

Lu Tianxing, the owner of Lujia Village, was also staggering on the street.

He looked around blankly, muttering to himself:

"Am I wrong..."

"Why...is this happening?"

Wherever Lu Tianxing passed, he saw only signs of recovery.

He still remembers what the city looked like when the plague was severe.

But the situation now is completely different from what it was then.

The Taiping Dao grew stronger, and he became more afraid.

However, the county government has always said that the Taiping Dao promotes kindness and love, advocates benevolence, righteousness, propriety and wisdom, and what it does is to fight disasters and save people.

This is a righteous religious sect that deserves to be vigorously promoted throughout Taiyang County.

These words...

Lu Tianxing couldn't find any fault with it.

What he saw along the way was that the plague was under control in Taiyang County.

Although many people were not completely cured of the disease, they had shown obvious signs of improvement, and no one had even heard of anyone dying from the disease.

I'm afraid that in a while, the plague that is raging in Qingzhou will be completely eradicated in this small county.

"The demon is causing chaos and misleading people... Is this really the case?"

Lu Tianxing felt his head becoming more and more confused.

His judgment of Taiping Dao was seriously inconsistent with the facts, which made him feel at a loss.

Just when Lu Tianxing was lost in thought, a voice suddenly rang out from the side of the road:
"quick!!!"

"Taipingdao is giving out porridge again!"

"It's too late, there will be no more!"

As the voice sounded, passers-by around him rushed towards the front of the street.

In the distance, a group of Taipingdao people were carrying out pots of cooked rice porridge and distributing them to everyone.

Because of the raging plague, many people lost their families and fell into poverty.

During epidemics, not only the plague harms people, but poverty is even more harmful.

Lu Tianxing was shocked.

Taipingdao distributes porridge?
Where do they get so much food?

Lu Tianxing then realized that to join the Taiping Dao, each person had to donate five dou of rice.

He also heard that recently, people in the wealthy families of the city who were sick had donated large amounts of money and food to the Taiping Dao in order to cure the epidemic.

The Taiping Dao is probably very rich now.

"Humph!"

"Win people's hearts!"

Lu Tianxing said inwardly with dissatisfaction, claiming that he could see through the tricks of Taiping Dao.

But he couldn't help but feel doubtful.

Even if it was really to win people's hearts, the porridge was actually distributed to the hungry people.

If no one wins over the people's hearts, who knows how many more people will starve to death? Just as Lu Tianxing felt his thoughts becoming more and more confused, a quarrel broke out.

I only heard a few Taiping Dao people shouting:

"A traitor dares to come and ask for porridge?"

"Call me out!"

Immediately afterwards, these Taiping Taoists punched and kicked a man, knocking him out of the crowd.

When Lu Tianxing saw the man being beaten, he couldn't help but look shocked:
"Boss Xu?!"

This man was none other than Xu Gui, who had led Lu Tianxing in betraying the Taiping Dao.

Lu Tianxing was shocked and hurried forward to help Xu Gui up.

"Boss Xu, what are you doing..."

He looked at Xu Gui in surprise.

After not seeing him for a few days, I found that Xu Gui has changed a lot.

He used to be a well-known businessman, with a wealthy family and decent clothes.

But now, Xu Gui looked hungry, and his clothes became ordinary and old, making him look extremely shabby.

Xu Gui said bitterly:
"Master Lu, to be honest, I haven't eaten a single grain of rice all day."

"If I wasn't so hungry, how could I have the nerve to ask for a bowl of porridge?"

At the end of his speech, Xu Gui was so excited that he even cried.

Lu Tianxing was puzzled and asked hurriedly.

While crying, Xu Gui told Lu Tianxing about his current situation.

original.

Ever since he sold the ineffective medicine he got from Master Zhang, Xu Gui has lost everything.

His family members were sick and needed medical treatment, but Xu Gui could not get the talisman water from Taiping Dao because of his betrayal, so he could only borrow money to buy medicine.

Now the family’s disease cannot be cured, the family property has been lost, and they are heavily in debt.

This made Xu Guilian's basic life a problem.

He was so hungry that he was dizzy and tried to sneak through and get a bowl of Taipingdao porridge.

After Lu Tianxing learned about the matter, he sighed:
"Hey……"

He just felt his mind was even more confused.

I thought they were heroes, but I didn't expect that they would fall to the point where they couldn't even make a living.

Lu Tianxing could only say a few words of comfort and took out a few taels of silver from his pocket and handed it to Xu Gui.

After Xu Gui thanked him, he also sighed:

"If we hadn't chosen to betray..."

"Then why did I end up in this situation now, when I was still a wealthy family member and my family was healthy?"

"Oh, I regret it so much!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Tianxing could only remain silent.

At this time.

But then they saw a group of people surrounding them and glaring at the two of them.

Lu Tianxing looked closely and found that these people were the ones who had followed him to leave Taiping Dao.

He was about to speak.

The crowd started shouting:

"Lu Tianxing! Xu Gui! We finally found you two bastards!"

"If we hadn't believed your lies, how could we have chosen to follow you and rebel against the Taiping Dao?"

"Now, because of our betrayal, the Taiping Dao no longer accepts us. As a result, we have no talisman water to treat our illnesses, let alone porridge to drink."

"All of us have been harmed by you two culprits! How will you compensate us for our losses?"

……

The crowd was becoming more and more agitated, rubbing their hands in anticipation as if they were ready to beat the two men up at any moment.

In the past, the two might have argued.

But they have been beaten several times these days and have become smarter.

Knowing that it is impossible to reason with the angry crowd at this moment.

Immediately, Lu Tianxing spoke decisively:
"Boss Xu! Run!"

The two men hurriedly got out of the crowd and ran away.

As they fled, the anger of the people behind them was immediately ignited, and they chased after them with roars.

There was chaos on the streets.

Lu Tianxing and Xu Gui ran for several streets and even out of the city before they completely got rid of the people chasing them.

At this time, both of them were almost out of breath from running, and sat down on the grass outside the city, gasping for breath.

When they came to their senses and saw the surrounding scene, they couldn't help but take a deep breath:
"This……"
