Chapter 67

Is this still the power that humans have?

With almost a shout, the remaining government officials dropped their weapons and ran away.

I was completely scared out of my wits!

Tao Xiaowu sneered and slowly shrank back to normal.

He laughed a few times and walked out in a swaggering manner under the gaze of many people.

Wherever he passed, the crowd of onlookers fell silent and took the initiative to get out of the way.

Everyone was dumbfounded and frightened by the scene just now.

It was only when he saw Tao Xiaowu strutting towards the city that someone boldly said: "Strong man, you killed the official, you'd better run away as soon as possible!"

"Escape? Thank you very much!

However, since I have said that I will collect it from the local prefect, I cannot break my promise.

I’ll go to the city to find him right now!”

With that said, Tao Xiaowu picked up his sword and headed towards Huang Yu's city.

I don’t know where the so-called imperial envoy went!

Tao Xiaowu searched and searched but couldn't find it.

After much deliberation, Tao Xiaowu decided to make the matter a bit bigger.

If the matter becomes too big, the imperial envoy will probably stand up, right?

Thinking like this, Tao Xiaowu strode towards Fucheng.

There were sighs from the people behind him: "What a pity, this strong man..."

pity?

Tao Xiaowu smiled coldly in his heart.

He was extremely fast and had already arrived outside Huang Yu's mansion.

At this time, the city has not received any news, and it is unknown what happened in the town dozens of miles away.

The city gate is wide open, allowing pedestrians to come and go!

Outside the city, a lot of heads were hung on the city gates, like strings of lanterns.

These heads had been cut off for some time, and were already drying and swaying in the wind.

Because the Honghua Society was so troubled, the imperial court sent an imperial envoy to arrest various rebels from the Red Flower Society.

Especially a few days ago, a big event happened.

A county magistrate and a general manager had their heads cut off and hung on the city gate tower.

This incident shocked the world and even shocked the entire Jingren court.

Emperor Jingren was furious and sent countless troops to the south to deal with these rebels of the Red Flower Society.

At the very least, the people of the Red Flower Club should be dealt with properly!

Under such strong winds and rain, the red flowers will suffer heavy losses.

Several rudders were destroyed, and many brothers were caught by the government and beheaded.

It has been proven once again that in China, as long as the central government pays attention to it, nothing is impossible.

Even the smog has to give way and turn into blue sky and white clouds. Not to mention these underground gangs!

However, this has also made people who go in and out of the city dare not walk through the Nanxun Gate in recent times for fear of seeing these heads.

I'd rather squeeze through other city gates!

Only those who are really in a hurry and can't wait to take a detour will use this city gate.

As a result, the entire city gate was deserted, with only a few soldiers lazily basking in the sun.

In any case, this is where the capital city is located and is under the rule of the government.

What kind of rebel would have the guts to come and cause trouble?

However, despite this, when Tao Xiaowu walked towards him with such a big sword, the soldiers guarding the city still jumped up.

Could it be that the rebels are coming?

Be on guard now!

Dozens of muskets were all loaded with gunpowder and raised.

"Who are you? What are you doing here?"

A green battalion officer shouted to the general manager in a grand manner.

The visitor was none other than Tao Xiaowu. At this moment, he was standing with his hands behind his hands, raising his head and looking at the heads of the Red Flower Society on the top of the city.

"I don't know how many of them are true righteous men of the Red Flower Society, and how many of them were killed by these officials indiscriminately and unjustly to make up for the loss!"

Tao Xiaowu sighed.

After what happened last time, Tao Xiaowu became more and more clear about the logic of the government's actions.

The emperor is in the capital, and the sky is high and the sky is far away.

Local governments relied on the gentry to rule, and imperial power did not extend to the countryside.

Therefore, local officials naturally also pay attention to the so-called quietness and inaction, and do nothing at all.

In normal times, I would turn a blind eye to everything and just muddle along.

But what if the force from above comes down...

If it has no combat effectiveness in ordinary times, what use can it be used in critical moments?

It’s nothing more than catching sparrows with your eyes closed!

Just grab a group of people and do the work.

Many people in the yamen even added fuel to the flames, taking the opportunity to attack enemies or people they disliked, slandering them as rebels.

Or directly force and extort people until they are satisfied, and then release them.

This is still a good thing, bankruptcy eliminates disasters.

Being able to lose half of your family wealth and save your life is not bad!

Those who were even more unlucky simply surrendered, killing people, ransacking their homes, and dividing their property.

It is said that the captured red flowers will turn against the thieves. This is how most of them come about!

However, generally speaking, no one would touch the truly powerful gentry in the local area, such as those with a good reputation, those whose families had high-ranking officials, or those whose families were truly powerful.

Even if they knew it was a cult or a rebel party, the local government would not dare to do anything.

That's the case of Honglian Temple.

It is clear that some local gentry are colluding with the demons of the Five Faces Sect, but the government dare not intervene.

Simply kill all the victims and slander them as monsters and rebels to understand the case.

This is just the Gourd Monk handling the Gourd Case!

At this moment, among the heads of the so-called Red Flower Society rebels on this city, I wonder how many of them are genuine Red Flower Society martyrs?

How many people have been wronged?

Thinking of this, Tao Xiaowu suddenly laughed!

However, when the soldiers on guard saw Tao Xiaowu and suddenly smiled, their hearts jumped and a warning sign appeared for no reason!

"Who are you? Tell me quickly, otherwise I will shoot you!"

Tao Xiaowu didn't answer, but stepped forward step by step with his big sword on his shoulder.

Seeing Tao Xiaowu getting closer and closer, cold sweat broke out on the head of the leader.

I don’t know why, but Tao Xiaowu walked over like this alone, but it brought him a great threat.

So much so that he didn't dare to say the word "fire" easily!

Not just the commander, but also the soldiers under him.

Seeing Tao Xiaowu getting closer and closer, everyone became more and more nervous.

Finally, someone was so nervous that he couldn't help but open fire!

There was a loud bang, and the sound echoed in the city gate, spreading the sound far away.

White smoke is coming out!

When the others heard the noise, they all opened fire without waiting for the command from the commander.

For a moment, streams of white smoke rose up along with the roaring sound.

In an instant, the entire city gate was filled with smoke, like a fairyland, and you couldn't see your fingers.

However, before the smoke caused by the incomplete combustion of these flames dissipated, a black shadow had already rushed over.

The long sword that looked like a door panel swung past like a windmill, and screams and wails were heard.

When the smoke dissipated, all that was seen were stumps of limbs and broken arms on the ground, as well as intestines and entrails flowing everywhere.

The stench is overwhelming!
