I have been a county magistrate for ten years. My subordinates insist on giving me a yellow robe.

"kill!"

A thunderous roar resounded in everyone's ears, and Wang Gang rushed towards Yang Cheng like a madman.

At this critical moment, before everyone could even see what was happening, a shrill scream instantly echoed in the street.

Immediately afterwards, a figure flew back like a cannonball and fell heavily to the ground.

The scene was dead silent. Jiang Yuan's mind went blank and he staggered to Wang Gang.

"Wang Gang, Wang Gang!" Jiang Yuan held up Wang Gang's head with trembling hands.

"Old..." Wang Gang's lips trembled dully, and as soon as he opened his mouth, a large mouthful of blood gushed out instantly.

"Stop talking, stop talking, I'll take you to see a doctor." Jiang Yuan looked at Wang Gang in panic, and his heart sank.

There was a dent in Wang Gang's chest and blood was flowing from his mouth.

Such injuries would result in death if not treated promptly even on Earth. In this technologically backward place, it is almost equivalent to a death sentence.

Zhao Kai hurried over and wanted to pick up Wang Gang.

"Don't move! Don't touch him!" Jiang Yuan hurriedly stopped them. Although he was not a medical student, if he held the injured person up, the broken bones in his chest might pierce into his internal organs and cause secondary damage.

"Help! Are we just waiting to die here?" Zhao Kai was anxious and shouted with red eyes.

"Go find two strong wooden sticks!" Jiang Yuan roared, and Zhao Kai immediately took action. He looked around and rushed over to grab Zhao Tiannan's collar.

"Bring two sticks! Quick!"

Zhao Tiannan moved his lips, but before he could speak, Zhao Kai pushed him open, looked at the Zhao family's door for a few times, and quickly dismantled it, removing the door frames on both sides.

"Sir, what's the use of this?" Zhao Kai asked hurriedly.

Calm down! Calm down. You absolutely can't make any mistakes now.

After giving himself a mental warning, Jiang Yuan took off his robe and made a simple stretcher with two pieces of wood.

"Help me lift Wang Gang up, and make sure his upper body is straight."

Chen Liu on the other side also reacted, took two steps to Wang Gang's side, gritted his teeth and sighed.

I'm afraid this injury is the end.

"Carry the people and follow me." Chen Liu shook his head, obviously no longer holding any hope.

On the other side, Yang Cheng, who was also feeling puzzled, squinted his eyes and looked at Wang Gang. Next to him was a tall man.

"Everyone, you saw it too. He tried to kill me first. This has nothing to do with me."

Jiang Yuan paused and looked at Yang Cheng with bloodshot eyes.

Although he was extremely confused, he didn't have time to deal with the other party. Chen Liu also knew that the matter was urgent. He frowned and looked at Yang Cheng, saying, "This matter is not over yet. These three people have been specifically asked to be protected. Yang Situ, you should think carefully about it."

Yang Cheng raised the corner of his mouth and couldn't help but sneer: "What a joke! Should I not let Gu Bo take action? Will I die in his hands?"

"Even if we confront each other in court, I'm not afraid of you!"

Chen Liu glanced at Yang Cheng indifferently and did not continue to argue with him. He decided to save people first.

"Jingyun, you go back first and tell them not to worry." After Jiang Yuan said that, he and Zhao Kai quickly carried Wang Gang and followed behind Chen Liu.

Heavy footsteps echoed in the street. Chen Liu led the way in front. He bumped into countless pedestrians along the way, causing countless people behind him to curse.

Jiang Yuan and his companions ignored him and just kept on going.

A moment later, inside the East Factory, a dozen imperial doctors surrounded Wang Gang and observed him carefully, then shook their heads and sighed.

"Sir, this man has suffered a severe blow to the chest, breaking several ribs. I'm afraid he's beyond help."

"Don't just talk, take action first!" Jiang Yuan couldn't help but roar.

Chen Liu also spoke up, "Regardless of whether we are confident or not, stabilize his injuries first. I'm going to go out for a while. Jiang Yuan's words are equivalent to my orders. You all should do as I say."

After saying that, Chen Liu hurried out of the room.

The current development of the situation can be said to have far exceeded Chen Liu's expectations.

According to Duanmu Xiongtu, it was nothing more than making a big thing small and a small thing nothing, so that the Zhao family could save face and the lives of Jiang Yuan and others could be saved.

But now the situation is completely out of Chen Liu's control.

Why did Wang Gang suddenly attack Yang Cheng? Why?

Logically speaking, there couldn't be any conflict or grudges between the two since one lived in a remote town and the other in the imperial capital.

With a thousand thoughts in his mind, Chen Liu had already arrived at the outskirts of the palace.

No one stopped him along the way. Who doesn't know how powerful Chen Liu, the leader of the East Factory, is?

By the time Chen Liu asked around and found Duanmu Xiongtu's location, he was already standing outside the imperial study.

"Hurry up and go in to report, I have an urgent matter." Although he was extremely anxious, he still couldn't rush into this last checkpoint.

A young eunuch immediately turned and ran in. After a while, he turned around and shouted, "The head of the Xuandong Factory, Chen Liu, is here to see you!"

Chen Liu hurried into the imperial study and knelt down at the door to pay his respects as usual.

"I see your Majesty."

"Okay, get up. There's no need to go through all these complicated formalities. What's the matter that makes you come here in the middle of the night?" Duanmu Xiongtu asked casually, holding a memorial.

Chen Liu stepped forward, lowered his head and said, "Your Majesty, something happened to Jiang Yuan and the other two."

"What?" Duanmu Xiongtu paused as he examined the memorial and looked at Chen Liu with displeasure.

"What's going on? Didn't I tell you to save their lives?"

Chen Liu broke out in a cold sweat on his forehead and quickly described what had happened.

After a while, Duanmu Xiongtu frowned slightly and threw the memorial in his hand aside. Chen Liu was very considerate and poured him a cup of hot tea.

"According to you, Wang Gang attacked first, but now his life is in danger. Why would he attack Yang Situ?" Duanmu Xiongtu shook his head in confusion.

"I don't know either. I investigated Wang Gang's background before, but because it was more than ten years ago and it was still the previous dynasty, I didn't find anything."

Duanmu Xiongtu nodded slightly: "How is your injury?"

Chen Liu shook his head. "It's not ideal. The doctors at the East Depot are at their wits' end. I don't think he can be saved."

"Call two imperial doctors from the palace to take a look. Do your best and leave the rest to fate." Duanmu Xiongtu said and waved his hand.

"How many people are there in Jiang Yuan?" Chen Liu asked in a low voice.

Duanmu Xiongtu took a sip of tea and said calmly, "It's not worth it. I have done my utmost to achieve this."

"The Yang family has been operating in the imperial capital for many years and has deep roots. They cannot be shaken by a few small fry. Now that the court is unstable, we must not stir up trouble out of nothing."

Chen Liu retreated silently and couldn't help sighing as he walked out of the room.

Wang Gang is in danger, and Jiang Yuan and his group are probably finished too.
