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

Chapter 62 Not dead yet
The skull-masked man left, and the heavy pressure on everyone present also dissipated.

Especially Yan Ju and the other two breathed a sigh of relief.

At least they were sure that the skull-masked man was not an enemy.

"Let's go quickly too!"

"Go back and ask Master who this senior is."

As Yan Ju spoke, he quickly jumped off the roof with Yun Liao and Hua Lanyue and left the county government office.

They all felt relieved.

Not only did he escape death from the hands of a powerful man like Bao Chao, but he also witnessed the death of Yang Jingye with his own eyes.

If the skull-masked man is really the sect's hidden master, then after he has made such a great contribution, the three of them will also be able to get some benefits.

In the study.

Qiu Zhuo was still trembling and huddled in the corner.

His eyes were fixed on the bodies of Yang Jingye and Bao Chao.

Within one day, two important figures died in his yamen.

it's over...

He knew that his career was completely over!

Qiu Zhuo felt like crying but had no tears.

"Return to the One Sect!"

"You bunch of damn bastards!"

Qiu Zhuo beat his chest and stamped his feet, cursing angrily.

If these people from Guiyi Sect had not suddenly appeared and killed Yang Jingye and Bao Chao, he would have been promoted to the position of Tongpan of Qingzhou in no time!
Now, not only can he not be promoted, he is not even sure if he can keep his job.

Bao Chao was fine, after all, he died in a feud within the martial arts world, and the Six Gates were in charge of handling it, so Qiu Zhuo couldn't be held responsible.

But Yang Jingye is different.

The old man of the Yang family is dead, but the other members of the Yang family are still alive, and they will definitely not give up.

If the higher-ups hold him accountable, Qiu Zhuo will not be able to escape responsibility.

Sudden--

"Bang!!!"

The gate of the courtyard was kicked open roughly by someone from the outside, which scared Qiu Zhuo so much that he jumped again and almost crawled under the table.

He is back with the Angelica sect.

When Qiu Zhuo looked closely, he saw Zhang You leading a group of yamen runners rushing in:
"Protect your lord!"

"Where did the thief go? Search quickly!"

"How dare you, you damned thief, trespass into the county government office? If we catch you, we will definitely tear your tendons and skin you alive!"

The yamen runners were very majestic and ferocious, looking as if they were ready to eat people at any time.

Qiu Zhuo also knew that this group of yamen runners should have come long ago, but they only showed up now, simply because they were afraid of death.

Qiu Zhuo did not blame him.

He was so disheartened at the thought of his career that he didn't even have the energy to curse anyone.

Zhang You rushed to Qiu Zhuo and helped him up from the ground:
"County Master, are you okay?"

Qiu Zhuo straightened his official hat and waved his hand to indicate that he was fine.

It would be strange if nothing happened!
His career was over.

But even if something happened, what could it be? These people in front of me couldn't help at all.

Qiu Zhuo could only order:
"Immediately report to the government office and the Six Sects that several masters of the Guiyi Sect attacked the county government office and killed Senluo Sect elder Bao Chao and Yang Family Patriarch Yang Jingye."

"The county government is unable to handle this matter. Please make a quick decision."

Zhang You took it to heart.

After Qiu Zhuo finished speaking, he asked again:

"County Master, then...should we go hunt down those thieves from the Guiyi Sect?"

Qiu Zhuo rolled his eyes at him:
"Of course I have to chase him!"

"How can I sit back and watch someone break into my office and kill someone under my jurisdiction?"

"Everyone, come! I will personally lead the team and brave the rain to capture the thief!"

Chase?
It's impossible to really chase after him.

What can you do to someone if you catch up with him?
However, Qiu Zhuo had been an official for many years and was well aware of the importance of superficial work.

No matter how things are done, you must show your attitude.

Immediately, the surrounding yamen runners gathered together, carrying water and fire sticks, iron chains and iron rulers, and followed Qiu Zhuo.

The group of people walked towards the outside of the county government office in a mighty manner.

Their pace was certainly slow.

It was so slow that even Qiu Zhuo himself felt sorry for it. He could only say that his foot was injured by the broken tiles that fell from the roof and he could not walk fast.

Zhang You and a group of yamen runners also expressed that for Qiu Zhuo's safety, they would swear to guard Qiu Zhuo until death and would never leave his side.

They finally arrived at the gate of the county government office.

But after seeing the situation outside, they all stopped. Qiu Zhuo was also shocked:
"This this……"

The rain continued to fall.

The entrance to the county government office was completely surrounded by people.

Countless people stood outside the county government office.

Looking around, the rain was filled with crowds of people, and the entire county government office was surrounded by the crowd.

Especially since these people all wore yellow turbans, they were all members of the Taiping Dao!

So many people stood in the heavy rain, looking coldly at Qiu Zhuo and others at the gate of the county government office.

This made Qiu Zhuo dare not step out of the county government office.

At the same time, there was a noise coming from the side.

That was a place outside the county government office where horse-drawn carriages were parked. The Yang family's luxurious convoy was parked here.

But at this moment, the Taiping Dao people were seen pressing all the servants and drivers of the Yang family's caravan into the mud on the ground.

The other Taiping Taoists got into the Yang family's carriage and searched through all the drawers and cabinets.

Qiu Zhuo's heart skipped a beat.

He felt a little guilty.

After all, he knew that the Yang family wanted to kill the Great Sage Teacher.

Is it...

Is it because the matter was exposed after the death of the Great Sage, and the Taiping Dao came to cause trouble?

This made Qiu Zhuo very nervous, and he whispered to the yamen runners behind him:

"what happened?"

"Even the Taiping Dao surrounded the government office, and no one came to inform us? And no one even went to notify the city defense forces to come over?"

"Didn't I tell you to keep an eye on the Yang family's carriage? How come no one stopped the Taiping Daoists from searching?"

The yamen runners all hung their heads and remained silent, and no one answered.

Even the bailiffs guarding the gate of the county government office kept their eyes on the nose and their noses on the heart.

As long as Qiu Zhuo didn't ask them, they pretended not to hear.

"Ok?"

Qiu Zhuo frowned. What happened to these yamen runners today?
Zhang You tugged at Qiu Zhuo's sleeve from behind and whispered in his ear:
"County Master, please don't be angry now."

"Among these yamen runners, seven or eight out of ten have joined the Taiping Dao. Even the city defense officers and soldiers are roughly the same..."

Qiu Zhuo was shocked when he heard this.

How could Taiping Dao develop so fast?
Only now did he realize that he was gradually losing control of the county government.

Qiu Zhuo glanced again at the group of Taiping Daoists blocking the entrance of the county government office.

If so many people really caused chaos, he would probably not only lose his job today, but even his life.

Qiu Zhuo immediately waved towards Zhang You, signaling Zhang You to go and negotiate.

Zhang You immediately stepped forward and said with a smile:

"Everyone, this government office gate is not a place where you can linger."

"I wonder what's going on with everyone. Do you have any grievances?"

"Please send a representative to talk to us. No matter what the problem is, the government can help us solve it."

Crash.

The rain continued to fall.

Countless Taipingdao people stood in the heavy rain, still silent.

This silent oppression made it impossible for Zhang You to continue speaking, and he could only retreat behind Qiu Zhuo.

Seeing this, Qiu Zhuo knew that he had no choice but to go.

He could only bite the bullet, take two steps forward, and then bow to everyone:

"Dear fellow villagers, this official——"

He hadn't finished speaking yet.

A loud thunderclap in the sky interrupted his words.

"Boom, boom, boom!!!"

The rumbling thunder continued for several seconds before it subsided.

follow closely.

The Taiping Dao members who were blocking the entrance to the yamen suddenly made way.

The two men walked along this passage towards the gate of the yamen.

Miao Yuan was holding an umbrella.

The person under the umbrella was Liang Jin.

When Qiu Zhuo saw this, his eyelids twitched and an expression appeared on his face as if he had seen a ghost.

The Great and Good Teacher...isn't dead?!
