The nine top experts led a group of silver constables and members of the Azure Dragon Village to attack one after another. In just three days, all the major families in Tingzhou City were destroyed.
Tingzhou Garrison Army Governor Shi Yan Jue finally returned from the outside. After he learned of the changes in Tingzhou, he quickly led his troops to guard the four gates of Tingzhou City.
The officials in the city who had survived seemed to have found their backbone, and they gathered around Shi Yan Jue to discuss countermeasures.
"Lord Shi, you're finally back! Our Tingzhou is going to change!"
"That's right! If you don't appear, we'll all be finished!”
"The imperial envoy that came this time is not ordinary. We have to think of a way to stop him from continuing to mess around.”
"Lord Shi, quickly deploy troops to capture the imperial envoy. Otherwise, we will all die!”
……
"Enough!"
Shi Yan Jue roared angrily and said irritably,""I only went to Yanzhou to play for a few days, how did Tingzhou become like this? What are you all doing? The imperial court only sent two imperial envoys, and you're all stumped?”
"Look at you, all of you are like headless flies, buzzing non-stop! When it came to making money, each one was more capable than the other, but when it came to matters, each one was more useless than the other.”
Everyone immediately fell silent out of fear.
After a moment, Tongzhi Wu Yong said in a low voice,""Lord Shi, you can't blame everyone. The imperial envoy that came this time is indeed extraordinary. Do you know the Zhizhou's guards? Those two experts were killed by the imperial envoy without any resistance! Tell me, how should we deal with such a character?”
Thinking of what happened that night, Wu Yong still had lingering fears.
Zhizhou Jiang He had to marry a concubine every few days. His real wife always stayed alone in the empty room. Over time, she hooked up with Tongzhi Wu Yong.
On the night Zhang Chen and Ye Qingxian kidnapped Jiang He, a servant came to report the news after the Azure Dragon Village was defeated.
Tongzhi Wu Yong originally wanted to go to the front courtyard of the government office with Jiang He, but was detained by the Zhizhou's wife under the pretext of explaining Buddhist scriptures.
After he was done, Wu Yong went to the front yard to find corpses all over the ground. Zhizhou Jiang He had also disappeared without a trace.
Wu Yong was so scared that he wet his pants. He thought about it and felt that the government office was no longer safe. He hid in a secret hideout overnight and did not dare to go out for a few days. He just happened to avoid the search of Azure Dragon Village and saved his life.
After hearing Wu Yong's words, Shi Yan Jue's heart suddenly tightened.
As the commander of an army, his martial arts were naturally outstanding. Otherwise, how could he suppress those martial arts experts who joined the army?
Shi Yan Jue knew very well how powerful the two experts beside the Zhizhou were. He would not be able to last more than ten moves against any of them.
However, such an expert was killed so easily. How high was the martial arts of the person who attacked?
Shi Yan Jue asked in a muffled voice," I heard about what happened that day. The surviving bailiffs said that the ones who attacked were two men in black. How can you be sure that they are the imperial envoys?"”
"Lord Shi, isn't it obvious?" Wu Yong smiled bitterly. The moment we received the news that the imperial envoy was coming, Lord Jiang was kidnapped. How could there be such a coincidence in this world? It must have been done by the imperial envoy. Looking at the current situation, the imperial envoy is clearly going to massacre Tingzhou. Both our lives are in danger! If we can't deal with those two imperial envoys, we're dead!”
Shi Yan Jue was annoyed as he listened and said angrily,""Tell me what to do! I only know how to fight wars. I still have to rely on you scholars to scheme and plot. I'll do whatever you say. Don't be so wishy-washy and talk nonsense with me!”
Wu Yong rolled his eyes and smiled obsequiously."Lord Shi, please calm down. The Azure Dragon Village has been capturing people everywhere these past few days. I guess they should have been subdued by the imperial envoy. The imperial envoy did this because they had no subordinates. How about this? You can mobilize the army and attack Azure Dragon Village in the name of suppressing the bandits.”
"Now that Azure Dragon Village is attacking from all directions, the village must be very empty. If the imperial envoy isn't in Azure Dragon Village, then so be it. But if he is, we'll treat them as bandits and destroy them together. This way, even if the Imperial Court finds out about this matter, they have no reason to deal with you. What do you think of this plan?"
Shi Yan Jue nodded slightly and laughed,"Good! I'll do as you say. I'll mobilize my troops to attack Azure Dragon Village. They are just a bunch of mountain bandits, they can't even stop my army!”
Wu Yong was not so optimistic, but he knew that this was the last hope of Tingzhou's officialdom.
If he didn't succeed, he would die!
……
Azure Dragon Village.
Zhang Chen was browsing through the System Space, taking stock of his gains over the past few days.
Although the Tingzhou tax case had been settled in a cumulative manner, only a small portion of the criminals arrested in recent days were involved in the tax case.
Most of those criminals were either alone or in small groups. Murder, rape, robbery, extortion…Every criminal who was arrested would receive a separate reward.
The rewards for these cases were not very good. They were all some low-level martial arts or gold and silver treasures. The advantage was that there were a lot of them, so they could be considered a considerable harvest.
Arhat Fist, Vajra Finger, Quanzhen Sword Art, Huashan Sword Art…Mastery level, minor level, beginner level…
Zhang Chen already had nearly a hundred martial arts, and every martial art was like an instinct that he could use at will.
He looked at the list of martial arts on the attribute panel and muttered,"I've learned more and more martial arts. In the future, I might be able to fuse them together and create an unprecedented peerless divine art.”
