The common people, the officials, and Jiang Yuan's group were at a stalemate.

Sun Xin was stunned. He didn't expect that these people didn't disperse.

Didn’t Jiang Yuan just give you some meat and eggs?

Do you really need to risk your lives?

"Get out of my way! Do you want to be thrown into jail together?" Sun Xin was furious and pointed at the people around him.

The person he pointed at stepped back subconsciously.

"Everyone, go back! County Magistrate Sun will definitely not do anything to us!"

Among the three hundred young men, someone shouted, and the sounds suddenly rose one after another.

"That's right! We didn't steal or rob! We didn't violate any of the laws of the Great Dian. We are innocent! Lord Sun can't do anything to us!"

"Go back, folks! When we get out, we'll definitely take you to Taiping County to try our fruit wine!"

Sun Xin's face flushed red. These people really didn't know how to live or die. They even dared to speak out and incite people.

"Shut up, everyone!"

"You are not allowed to speak anymore!"

In the crowd, Jiang Yuan signaled with his eyes, and Ergou instantly broke free from the soldiers behind him and stood up.

"Master Sun, why are you arresting us? What crime have we committed?"

Wang Kun also took advantage of the situation and started to speak immediately: "That's right, Lord Sun, we have done nothing wrong. We just saw that these families were hungry and cold, and their daily lives were boring, so we wanted to bring some joy to everyone."

"If this is considered a crime, then I have nothing to say!"

"Master Sun, why did you arrest us? Are you abusing your power?"

"Master Sun, do you still have the laws of the Great Duan in your heart? Where do you place the laws of the dynasty? What are your intentions? You are simply sinister!"

Sun Xin's face turned completely dark. He stared at Wang Kun and the others with wide eyes.

But unfortunately, he really didn't dare to do it.

There is no such article in the Great Duan Law. Besides, there were 300 young and strong men on the scene. Could he really kill them all?

Dare?

After Wang Kun and Ergou and their companions stirred up this situation, the people around them instantly became excited.

"That's right! They are innocent! Sir, don't arrest innocent people!"

"Let them go! Let them go!"

"You bastard official, let them go!"

The overlapping and deafening sound made Sun Xin's face turn from black to pale.

The people’s will, this is what the people want.

If he really insists on arresting these people, it might directly provoke a civil uprising, and then he would not have enough heads to chop off.

Jiang Yuan, who was squatting on the ground, smiled slightly. The time was almost right, and he quickly looked at Bai Jingyun beside him.

"Quick! Stand up and say we are willing to follow them to the prison."

Bai Jingyun's eyes widened, his face filled with disbelief: "Are you crazy? Why are we going to jail?"

"Do as I say!" Jiang Yuan said hurriedly.

Bai Jingyun glanced at Jiang Yuan twice, then stood up helplessly: "Everyone, be quiet!"

"We are willing to follow Lord Sun to the prison temporarily. At the same time, I also believe that Lord Sun will not wrongly accuse us. Everyone, please calm down. We are innocent and will be able to come out and meet you all here tomorrow!"

After Bai Jingyun finished speaking, the people around him immediately looked at Sun Xin.

Sun Xin could only bite the bullet and say, "That's right. If they are innocent, I will definitely release them immediately. Everyone, go back first."

The people around then dispersed in groups of three or two, and Sun Xin's expression gradually became gloomy.

"Old Li, throw them all in jail and starve them for two days!"

"This..." Old Li looked at Sun Xin hesitantly.

Didn't you see the look on the people's faces just now? They were so eager to eat you alive.

If you really want to lock them up, what will happen if the people riot?

Sun Xin, who was already angry, narrowed his eyes and looked at Lao Li: "Why, can't I even control you now?"

"No, I'll do it right away." Old Li trembled all over and turned around and shouted loudly.

"Take them to jail!"

A moment later, in the cell, Bai Jingyun looked at Jiang Yuan helplessly: "Brother, what on earth are you going to do? What's the point of staying in here? Aren't we fine outside?"

Jiang Yuan glared at him angrily: "You know shit, I'm just exacerbating public sentiment!"

Think about what these people will do when they can’t see me tomorrow?

Sun Xin couldn't just ignore it, but if he did, he would have to use violent law enforcement, which would only make the conflict between the two sides more intense.

They only need to stay quietly in the prison for a few days, and then the entire Taizong County will be the most devout believers of Taiping County!

The best strategy is to attack the enemy’s plan and the best strategy is to attack his heart!

"No, sir, the key point is that we didn't bring any food. Are we really going to starve here for two days?" Ergou looked at Jiang Yuan worriedly.

Jiang Yuan smiled mysteriously: "Don't worry, we'll just stay here quietly until tomorrow night at the latest. Just treat it as a rest. When we get to our territory, I'll treat everyone to a big meal at Taiping Restaurant!"

……

At dusk, on the city wall of Taiping County, a man in a black robe stood quietly on the top of the city wall. After reading the note in his hand, Li Hu stuffed the note into his arms with an indifferent expression.

"Very good, now it's finally my turn."

Immediately afterwards, the man known as the fastest man in Taiping County jumped down from the top of the city wall, leaving Zhao Kai behind him dumbfounded.

This place is at least 20 to 30 meters high. Just jump down like that?

But Li Hu turned around gracefully in the air and landed steadily on the ground without even raising a speck of dust.

Zhao Kai opened his mouth wide, and only came to his senses when Li Hu's figure disappeared from his sight, and then he showed an unreasonable expression.

"No way! Even this cowardly guy can break through to the third level?"

"Why haven't I, a one-in-a-million genius, achieved a breakthrough yet? Wang Gang has already achieved a breakthrough, why haven't I?"

"The way of heaven is unfair!"

Wang Jue walked over and patted Zhao Kai on the shoulder: "Stop blaming others."

Zhao Kai seemed to be comforted and turned to look at Wang Jue: "Good brother, it's a good thing that none of us three have made a breakthrough, otherwise I really would..."

Zhao Kai's face froze halfway through his words, because he could not see any expression on Wang Jue and Kong Xuan's faces.

"You, you won't..."

"Yes, it's been a while since I broke through." Wang Jue said, turned around and left.

Zhao Kai's mouth was dry and he quickly looked at Kong Xuan: "Old Kong, you..."

"Martial arts is like rowing against the current. If you don't advance, you will retreat." Kong Xuan said with the same indifferent expression, then turned around and followed Wang Jue.

Zhao Kai stood on the top of the city wall in a daze.

Kong Xuan and Wang Jue, who had already walked a long way, looked at each other and both of them were defeated in a second.

"Hehehe! That feels so good!"

"Hehe! Seeing that brat Zhao Kai get humiliated really makes me feel good!"

At nightfall, a dark shadow moved quickly through Taizong County, so fast that the guarding soldiers did not notice it at all.

"Well, that's right. It's just as Grandpa said. Once I break through the third realm, the speed of Liuguang Movie will catch up with the fifth realm strongmen. There is no place in the world that I can't go!"

After saying that, Li Hu looked around and sighed suddenly.

"Fuck! No one's watching me, why am I pretending?"
