Xu Taiping raised his eyebrows: "What did our Master Jiao say again?"
Zhang Changan said anxiously: "Master Jiao said that you have issued a military order to uproot Qiyun Village before July 1st and bring back the heads of Qi Xiaoyun, the leader of Qiyun Village, and Deng Hanfei, the leader of second village. Otherwise, you will commit suicide to apologize."
When Xu Taiping heard this, he sneered again and again.
Shameless!
How shameless!
He actually tampered with my words in front of so many “victims”.
Will the uninformed people be happy to hear this?
It will only make you more scared and angry.
He only scolds me for overestimating my abilities.
He will only scold me for irritating Qi Yunzhai again.
They will only scold me for speaking out arrogant words that will bring disaster to them.
It was Jiao Kaicheng who gained fame.
How shameless!
Xu Taiping took a deep breath and asked calmly: "Is there more?"
Zhang Changan shook his head: "No, sir, have you thought about how to deal with it? Master Jiao's move is too, too poisonous. It will directly drive you to a dead end."
Xu Taiping sneered: "Where are you now? The most vicious tricks are yet to come."
Zhang Changan was shocked: "There is more?"
"Jiao Kaicheng's goal is to remove me from my position as the head catcher, but what he has done and said so far is not enough to achieve his goal."
"This this……"
Xu Taiping groaned: "These are just the foreshadowing. The killer move is behind me. If nothing else, the attack on my personal ability and character will come soon. This is the killer move.
"When the time comes, coerce the common people and merchants to force me to give up my position as the leader.
"Without an official status, I am just a civilian. Everyone can scold me, attack me, and even Jiao Kaicheng can arrest me directly."
After listening to this, Zhang Changan felt cold and trembling all over.
This, how could this person be so cruel and shameless.
In order to vent his anger, he actually did such a thing that made his relatives happy and his enemies happy, and he even did not hesitate to collude with bandits as his accomplices.
At this time.
A yamen servant came in and said, "Captain Xu, the prefect, please come over and give us a reply."
Xu Taiping stood up and left without saying a word.
Wen Mingyue looked at Xu Taiping's back nervously, twisting her delicate fingers together and looking pale.
But he kept comforting himself in his heart.
Brother Xu knows things well, so it should be fine.
It must be fine.
Brother Xu will definitely not fall into this trap.
But this kind of feeble comfort is of no use in the face of the huge pressure brought by Jiao Kaicheng, Qi Yunzhai and many ordinary merchants.
Zhang Changan was equally nervous.
It took a lot of effort to find a capable and generous head catcher, but don't let it just go away.
The reward promised by Xu Captou has not yet been given.
Prefect's Mansion.
Xu Taiping passed through the crowd, squeezed in, raised his hands and saluted: "Greetings, your lord."
Jiao Kaicheng shouted with a majestic look: "Xu Taiping, now the people and merchants have been robbed by Qiyun Village. Thousands of people have been robbed, and the property is countless. Tell me your opinion!"
Xu Taiping smiled and pointed sideways at the "victims" at the door: "Are they all victims who came to report the crime?"
"Yes, come all to report the case, and also ask me to escort you to Qiyun Village in exchange for the lives of thousands of people. What do you think?"
As soon as Jiao Kaicheng's words left his mouth.
The scene suddenly boiled.
Many "victims" raised their fists and shouted.
"You must take full responsibility!"
"Kill yourself to apologize!"
"It's all your fault. If you hadn't killed Tang Huanyun, how could this have happened?"
"You are a disaster!"
"Yingyin County is no good if it has a catcher like you."
"What are you doing to provoke Qi Yunzhai?"
"Hurry up and go to Qiyun Village and surrender, so that the heroes of Qiyun Village can take revenge."
"There are thousands of people, can you bear to watch them die in Qiyun Village?"
"Please, save our village, they were all captured by Qiyun Village!"
"Well done, Mr. Xu, we will thank you."
"..."
When Xu Taiping heard this, he turned to look at Jiao Kaicheng: "Sir, what do you think?"
Jiao Kaicheng shouted sternly: "It's nonsense, I will never compromise with the bandits!"
At this time, a white-haired old woman rushed in.
Yi Gulu knelt down and kowtowed frantically.
"Bang bang bang——"
There was a loud knocking sound.
After just a few strokes, his face was covered in blood.
As he knelt, he cried in tears: "All six members of my family were arrested by Qiyun Village, and there are also a pair of twin girls who are under one year old. If anything happens to them, the old woman will crash to death here."
Someone in the crowd echoed.
"My son and daughter-in-law were also taken away."
"My two little grandsons..."
"There has to be a way."
"Are we just going to watch our relatives die in Qiyun Village?"
Those who suffer miserably are filled with indignation.
"What does the head catcher do for food? A seventh-grade official? Bah!"
"That's right, you're still an arrester. Why is there no movement when you need to solve the case and arrest someone?"
"He's just a loser!"
"Change to a more powerful one!"
"Yes, change it to someone who can save people."
"Substitute!"
"Must be replaced!"
Then broke the news.
"I heard that our Xu Shenqi hired a young and beautiful female secretary on the first day he took office."
"I've also heard that the female scholar, Zuo Yuan, is a girl from Mingyue Tower. She was his sweetheart whom he met just a few days after coming to Yingyin City. When Mingyue Tower was destroyed, he took her with him."
"Haha, this is our killer."
"Expecting someone who plays with women in the police squad to save people every day? You'd better ask for your own blessings."
Follow with wonder.
"real?"
"This, this is impossible."
"Really, I saw it with my own eyes. That little girl was wearing a modified soap-colored scholar's gown. Not to mention how attractive she is."
"Mad! Shameless!"
"I also heard that all his achievements were paid for. He is not a great catcher at all, he is just an uneducated scum!"
"..."
A series of words came down.
The people who didn't understand the reason were instantly excited.
"Arrest this bitch!"
"Bring him to justice!"
"Dismissed from office!"
"Catch him and send him to Qiyun Village!"
"Catch him!"
"Catch him!"
With the "victims" leading the way.
The crowd's emotions became increasingly intense.
More and more people are attracted.
Coupled with the people inside and outside the city who were already frightened by the rumors, the gate of the prefect's mansion quickly turned into a sea of people. Led by the "victims", the shouts became louder and louder.
"Catch him!"
"Catch him!"
The sound was like thunder.
It makes people's ears numb.
It shook the doors and windows.
Most of Yingyin City could hear this shout.
The crowd was excited.
The officials who were surrounded inside also changed their expressions and were panicked. They clenched their weapons and stared at the angry people, getting ready for battle.
The expressions of the subordinate officials in the prefect's mansion changed drastically. This aroused public anger. Once the situation got out of control, no one could escape.
In the event of a civil unrest and large-scale casualties, subordinate staff at the grassroots level will inevitably be pushed out to bear responsibility.
It is even possible to die directly in the conflict.
Feng Shibo's face also changed slightly. He was worried but did not dare to show it. He could only quietly pay attention to his boss's reaction.
Jiao Kaicheng's expression remained unchanged and his majesty remained as before.
As a Confucian cultivator in the Hanlin realm, he has enough ability to control the situation, and any magical power can suppress the entire crowd.
But it's not yet time.
Let’s see how the little bastard named Xu responds.
Xu Taiping was the main target of civilians and "victims".
Standing at the entrance of the lobby, facing the dark crowd and Taotao's anger alone, there were a few moments when I almost suffocated.
That kind of momentum is too strong.
There may not be many practitioners among these people, almost all of them are ordinary people.
But when these people gather together, the energy that bursts out cannot be underestimated. It feels a bit like the energy of a military strategist.
People are like water, they can carry a boat or capsize it.
The same is true in the fantasy world.
However, it is more difficult to capsize a boat.
It is difficult to achieve great things by just relying on these ordinary people.
Think so.
Turn around and face all the "victims" and the people head-on.
His face was grim.
His eyes were colder.
There is a hint of murderous intent in the coldness.
He even pulled out his oxtail knife.
With the knife in his hand, he faced hundreds of angry people alone. His back looked lonely and heroic, like a warrior who looked forward to death.
His cold eyes swept through the dark crowd.
Suddenly he strode forward.
He grabbed the old woman who was still kneeling on the ground and dragged her to the front of the hall. He raised the oxtail knife high and aimed at the back of the old woman's neck.
