Chapter 63 I want to report to the official
Liang Jin walked out from the crowd.

The Taiping Dao believers around him saluted him one after another.

Liang Jin had an expressionless face and walked with the gait of a tiger and a dragon, as if nothing could stand in his way.

This brought Qiu Zhuo a great sense of oppression.

Even when Liang Jin approached, Qiu Zhuo couldn't help but take a step back.

finally.

Liang Jin came to the front of all the Yellow Turbans and stopped.

Miao Yuanzheng stood behind Liang Jin with a knife on his back, holding an umbrella for him.

At the gate of the yamen, Zhang You smiled apologetically at Liang Jin twice, then secretly tugged at Qiu Zhuo's sleeve.

Qiu Zhuo woke up with a start and asked in a kind tone:

"Great and Good Master, what are you doing..."

Liang Jin replied loudly:

"County Magistrate, we are here to report a crime."

Before Qiu Zhuo could come to his senses, he saw Liang Jin waving his hand.

Then, the Yellow Turbans carried out more than a dozen corpses.

They laid the bodies out in a row on the ground right in front of the yamen.

And these corpses were exactly the masked men who had attacked Liang Jin before.

"County Magistrate, a thief just tried to assassinate me."

"The magistrate still needs to give me an explanation for this matter."

Liang Jin spoke in a deep voice.

Qiu Zhuo looked at the corpses and felt a chill in his heart.

He knew very well who these people were.

Qiu Zhuo immediately said with a solemn look:

"Rest assured, great and virtuous teacher, it is my duty to eliminate violence and protect the good."

"I will immediately send someone to investigate and make sure to thoroughly investigate these villains who are trying to kill virtuous people."

After Qiu Zhuo finished speaking, Liang Jin did not respond, but just looked at Qiu Zhuo with a half-smile.

The scene became quiet again.

The silence was oppressive.

The heavy rain continued to fall, and the blood flowing from the dead bodies on the ground mixed with the rain, flowing in a winding manner.

After a moment, Liang Jincai continued:

"I have already found out the identities of these people."

"There are many witnesses who can prove that these people are guards of the Yang family."

As Liang Jin finished speaking, many people stood out from the crowd.

Most of these people were civilians, but there were also some soldiers guarding the city gates.

Obviously they were witnesses.

Seeing this, Qiu Zhuo felt panicked.

I didn't expect that this matter would actually involve the Yang family.

Qiu Zhuo could only smile awkwardly:

"Don't worry, Great Master. Since the Yang family is trying to murder you, I will not sit idly by."

"It's just that the Yang family is a provincial family, and it's not under my jurisdiction."

"But don't worry. I'll write to the government office right now and request a thorough investigation."

Qiu Zhuo knew that the government would not do anything to the Yang family.

The Yang family is deeply rooted in Qingzhou Prefecture and cannot be brought down by a simple attempted murder.

What's more, the victim of the murder was just a civilian. Although this civilian had a great influence in Taiyang County, that was all.

Qiu Zhuo did everything he should do, first stabilizing Liang Jin.

As for how the higher-ups handled the matter, he had no control over it, and Liang Jin couldn't blame him.

Liang Jin smiled faintly:
"The magistrate is impartial and impartial. Please also take a look at the weapon used by the murderer."

As soon as he finished speaking, the Yellow Turbans took out some more things and placed them at the gate of the county government office.

These are actually powerful crossbows!

The crossbow that the masked man used when he assassinated Liang Jin.

When Qiu Zhuo saw these powerful crossbows, his face changed drastically and his heart began to beat wildly.

Liang Jin has already spoken:
"The Daqian Code stipulates that if one person privately possesses one set of armor and three crossbows, he will be exiled to two thousand miles; if three sets of armor and five crossbows are privately possessed, he will be hanged."

Upon hearing this, Qiu Zhuo couldn't help swallowing.

This is what the Daqian law stipulates, it just depends on whether you take it seriously or not.

Xia uses force to violate taboos.

Among warriors, there are quite a few who secretly keep armor and powerful crossbows.

Many times, the government turns a blind eye to such things.

If we really want to be serious, then there are more than ten crossbows here, and the Yang family is guilty of a serious crime.

At this time.

The Yellow Turbans who were searching the Yang family's carriage convoy made a discovery:

"Great Sage Master! We found crossbow bolts in this carriage!"

"So many crossbow arrows, all of them!"

Immediately afterwards, the Yellow Turbans carried out crossbows one after another from the carriages, as well as bundles of arrows.

All these crossbows were placed at the gate of the government office, which was really shocking. Liang Jin took a look and said:

"There are at least fifty powerful crossbows here. According to the law, this constitutes treason and the entire family must be executed."

"Is that right, Magistrate?"

Qiu Zhuo gritted his teeth and dared not answer.

He could only curse the Yang family in his heart for being too arrogant and domineering. Why did they secretly hide so many crossbows?
But Qiu Zhuo didn't dare to curse out loud.

He was just a small county magistrate. How could he have the courage to accuse the Yang family of treason?
Although Yang Jingye is dead, the Yang family is still there, and the Yang family's backers are still there.

Reporting treason to your superiors is different from reporting murder to your superiors.

The government office may not take murder cases seriously.

But once a rebellion is reported, the consequences will be serious and the government will have to take it seriously.

The Yang family might not fall by then, but Qiu Zhuo knew that his official position would be completely over.

Qiu Zhuo's expression changed again and again, and he finally walked out from under the eaves of the county government office and came to Liang Jin in the heavy rain.

He whispered:

"Great and virtuous teacher, this matter is too serious."

"You may not know that the head of the Yang family, Yang Jingye, was just killed in the county government office by someone from the Guiyi clan. Your revenge has been avenged for you."

"As for the details, it's hard to explain them right now."

"Please, Master, condescend to step into the inner hall and let me and Master speak in detail."

First, invite Liang Jin into the yamen, away from the eyes and ears of others.

At that time, Qiu Zhuo would naturally use various conditions to negotiate with Liang Jin, even if it meant making huge concessions.

Otherwise, if we continue to make trouble in front of so many Yellow Turbans, it will be impossible to resolve the situation.

Liang Jin flatly refused:
"Qiu Zhuo, as the county magistrate, you should enforce the law impartially."

"If you have any concerns, then I, Taiping Dao, will support you."

"I will bring tens of thousands of Taiping Dao members and take you to the government office to appeal for justice."

Several strong Yellow Turbans immediately came out and surrounded Qiu Zhuo.

They stretched out their big hands and grabbed Qiu Zhuo's arms, as if they were going to take Qiu Zhuo away by force.

This scared Qiu Zhuo to death.

If tens of thousands of Taiping Dao members really took him to the provincial capital to cause trouble, then everyone would think that Qiu Zhuo was the leader.

By then, Qiu Zhuo would not only lose his job, but even his head!
Qiu Zhuo immediately turned his head to look at Zhang You and the other yamen runners:
"Master! Master!"

Many yamen runners stood behind Zhang You, but no one of them had any intention of stepping forward to rescue Qiu Zhuo.

Although not all the yamen runners joined the Taiping Dao, they knew very well what they were doing.

There are so many people on Taipingdao Road across the street that one person's spitting can drown them all.

What’s more, there are evil people who want to kill the great and virtuous teacher and cut off the survival of all the patients!

If the magistrate shelters such a villain and acts as an accomplice to the evil, then it is better not to protect such a magistrate.

Zhang You could only try to find the city defense troops.

However, when he looked around, he not only did not see the city defense forces coming to support, but instead saw many soldiers among the Taiping Dao people.

As for other officials in the county government, such as the county lieutenant and the county magistrate, no one knew where they were hiding, and none of them showed up.

This made Zhang You sigh, then shook his head at Qiu Zhuo to indicate that he was powerless.

Now, Qiu Zhuo was completely desperate.

He could only look at Liang Jin pleadingly:

"Great Master..."

Liang Jin raised his hand and pointed at several carriages in the Yang family's convoy.

On these carriages, large boxes were carried down by the Yellow Turbans.

When the big box was opened, it was full of silver ingots!

Qiu Zhuo knew that these were the capitals prepared by the Yang family for this business venture in Taiyang County.

Liang Jin said:
"As soon as the Yang family arrived at the county government office, the magistrate treated them as guests of honor, and then he sent his guards to kill me."

"And these boxes of silver, are they used to bribe you, the County Magistrate?"

When Qiu Zhuo heard this, he felt it was ridiculous.

This silver looks like it's at least one hundred thousand taels!
I am just a small county magistrate, why is it worth spending so much silver to bribe him?

"This is clearly what Mr. Yang is using to acquire..."

Qiu Zhuo quickly shut his mouth before he finished speaking.

He didn't dare to involve himself in this matter, and he couldn't let Liang Jin think that he was an insider.

So he changed his words:

"This is for the Yang family's business, it has nothing to do with me!"

Liang Jin certainly knew that Qiu Zhuo had nothing to do with the money.

But the truth is not important.

He raised his hand and pointed at the countless Yellow Turbans behind him:

"Why don't you ask everyone if they believe you?"

The people from the Taiping Dao glared at Qiu Zhuo.

They roared in unison:

"You bastard official!!!"

The sound was so loud that it shook the heavens and the earth, even more terrifying than the thunder in the clouds!
