When Tong Qiming shifted his gaze from the strange-looking carriage to the people getting off, his pupils constricted, and he rubbed his eyes.

Although he didn't recognize any of these people, just by looking at their overall demeanor, he knew they were no ordinary people!

The most obvious example is Eunuch Yuanfu's eunuch attire, which clearly indicates his identity as a member of the imperial palace.

Tong Qiming quickly stepped forward, cupped his hands in greeting, and said, "May I ask which master in the palace this eunuch serves, and what official business brings you here?"

Why don't I see you going to the yamen (government office)?

Eunuch Yuanfu flicked his whisk and said, "How dare you! We have our reasons for going to the yamen or not. You have no right to speak here."

Tong Qiming quickly nodded and bowed, saying, "Yes, yes, I'll take my leave now."

Just then, Ye Wuhen said gloatingly, "Hey, Master Tong, didn't you want to see our master? These are them. You can talk to them about anything."

Hearing this, Tong Qiming felt cold sweat breaking out on his forehead. He didn't dare wipe it with his sleeve, even though he could tell from the surface that this eunuch came from the palace.

He didn't know the identities of the others, but they all seemed extraordinary. What should he do?

Just as he was in a panic and at a loss, the Duke of Anguo asked, "My son told me that you have something to discuss with me."

"Yes, my granddaughter told me you wanted to talk to me about something. What is it? Tell me!"

You could tell it was Chen Han's voice just by listening to it.

"May I ask what my brother has done that warrants a government clerk coming to interrogate him?"

Liu Yuyang then asked the question.

"I also want to know what my two young masters have done wrong?"

Yuanfu's words were the last straw, breaking down Tong Qiming's last line of defense.

My goodness! Although the eunuch here didn't say who his master was, he must be of high status!

Those who can be served by a palace eunuch are either princes or nobles, or even imperial princes and grandsons!

There was also a Duke, and another official, whose specific rank was unknown. It was terrifying. How could he possibly talk to all these children's elders?

Tong Qiming was so frightened that he almost burst into tears, but he still stepped forward with trembling legs and said, "This, this, this eunuch, Duke, gentlemen, I, no, I, Tong Qiming, am the advisor of Magistrate Zhang of Longyuan City."

"When Lord Zhang learned that there was a gang fight here, he was afraid that innocent people would be hurt, so he sent me to stop it."

Duke Anguo nodded and then asked, "And then what? How did you handle it? Don't tell me you stopped them from fighting and that's the end of it."

Anguo Gong Jiang Hao's words startled Tong Qiming, who immediately retorted, "No, no, I can't make that decision either. I have to go back and ask Lord Zhang to make the decision."

Duke Anguo stared coldly at Tong Qiming until he didn't even dare to raise his head, then said, "Since you can't make the decision, then please invite someone who can to come here!"

Tong Qiming was stunned, not understanding what the Duke of Anguo meant!

He looked completely terrified, so Eunuch Yuanfu had no choice but to repeat it for Duke Anguo:

"Send someone back now to explain the situation here, and invite your Lord Zhang over to handle things personally. Do you understand now?"

Tong Qiming quickly nodded and said, "Yes, yes, I'll send someone right away. No, no, I'll go there myself now and invite Lord Zhang over."

After saying this, he quickly backed up to his horse. Just as he was about to mount, he suddenly remembered something and said to the constables he had brought:

"You all wait here and don't let the Blood Fiend Gang leave. I'll go fetch Lord Zhang right away!"

"Yes!"

After Tong Qiming rode his horse back to the yamen, the remaining yamen runners quickly obeyed the order and blocked the Blood Fiend Gang's exit. When the Blood Fiend Gang members saw this formation, they couldn't help but look at their gang leader, Bai Sha, in a panic.

Bai Sha also looked at the direction where Tong Qiming had left with a gloomy expression. His expression was dark and unclear. He had given this old man a lot of money in the past, but when it came to the crucial moment, he selfishly only cared about himself. All that money had been wasted.

Enraged, Bai Sha gritted his teeth. He needed to find a way to get his brothers out of trouble. Since the other side had government officials among them, it wouldn't be easy for them to take action against these people for the time being.

It seems the best course of action is to wait until these people leave before dealing with the Flame Wolf Gang.

Fortunately, the magistrate is now on their side, otherwise it would have been really difficult to get away!

We need to report this quickly; we can't let these people ruin things.

Cheng Ying and the others took this opportunity to quickly return to their car and eat the lunch they hadn't had.

Just as they were finishing their meal, a horse-drawn carriage came galloping towards them from afar.

At this time, many ordinary people and onlookers were still blocking the streets and were unwilling to leave.

When the carriage came by, the onlookers saw that the driver was a government official, so they all made way for it.
