Chapter 18: Sweeping Away the Clouds
"I don't know what the situation is like outside?"
At this time, the streets of Bai'an County were in chaos, as if there were criminals everywhere. Those traveling merchants could only hide in the inn and look outside, feeling a little helpless.
Fortunately, these people have some wealth and are accompanied by a few guards. With everyone working together, they are not afraid of those people outside rushing in for the time being.
But if the situation outside gets worse, someone might dare to attack them, which would make them worry. After a few drinks, some people inevitably started to complain.
"I heard that the county magistrate led his men to wipe out the Flying Tiger Hall yesterday. I thought it would make everyone happy, but who knew that the remaining people in the Flying Tiger Hall would start making trouble today!"
"Who says it's not true? Feihutang has dominated Bai'an County for many years. We have to hand in a share when we come here to do business. With such a large force, we have to take our time to conquer it. If you ask me, the county magistrate is just too impatient!"
Shaking his head, someone else said something, his voice revealing dissatisfaction with Shen Yu. Although they had been exploited by Feihutang in the past, at least there were rules. In comparison, the current situation on the street made them more uneasy.
"You know what? I heard that this county magistrate has just taken office for a short time, but he has already taken down the county chancellor. Now he is taking action against Feihu Hall. Can't you see that? He clearly wants to achieve results in a short period of time. But he didn't expect that he would strike back like this. I think this little county magistrate will probably give in!"
"If I were him, I would also give in first. There will be plenty of time to clean up the mess later. There's no need to force it now, and it's easy to get yourself involved. Look, it's a mess now..."
"A bunch of wimps!" A girl on the second floor listened to the discussion of the people around her with disdain on her face, and she didn't even want to look at them. Not only that, she also opened the window and looked outside with interest, not afraid of being noticed by those on the street.
"Miss, this place is dangerous, let's be careful!" This girl was Lu Siyu, whom Shen Yu had saved before. However, there were obviously two more guards around her.
"With your protection, what am I afraid of?"
" That being , a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall. Miss, please do not put yourself in danger!"
"I am a woman, not a gentleman!" Looking at the scene , Lu Siyu frowned slightly. "I don't know how the county magistrate will solve this problem. If this farce can't be stopped, I'm afraid his position as county magistrate will be in jeopardy!"
"Wait a minute, what is that?" Suddenly, Lu Siyu looked outside with wide eyes in surprise. At this moment, afterimages suddenly appeared on the street. Along with these afterimages, a terrible hurricane appeared.
The afterimage passed by, and the place seemed to be ravaged by a hurricane, like a whirlwind. The gangsters who were robbing passers-by were thrown out one after another under the wind and waves before they could react, and then fell heavily to the ground.
The whole process was as fast as lightning, making it impossible for people to react. Even the ordinary people who were robbed were at a loss and had no idea what was going on.
"What is that? A master? A superman? A monster?"
"Everyone listen, all those who are causing trouble must stop and surrender immediately, otherwise they will be severely punished. If the people bring the rioters to the government office, if they are confirmed to be the rioters, they will be rewarded with ten taels of silver for each rioter!"
At this moment, there were bursts of loud shouts from behind. Panting, Zhou Yuan looked at Shen Yu who had already run away, and without wiping the sweat from his forehead, he ran out after him.
As he ran, Zhou Yuan felt helpless. There was no need for them to clean up the streets. Wherever the county magistrate passed, almost everyone was either dead or disabled. These people didn't even have the strength to stand up. Any old man could beat them to a pulp. He was not afraid of them doing more evil.
Zhou Yuan felt a little ashamed when thinking about it. They were a group of people following the county magistrate, who was fighting and running at the same time. They tried their best to run behind him, but they couldn't even outrun him. More than a dozen people had to split into several groups before they could barely keep up.
At this time, he also understood the original meaning of the county magistrate. If he didn't compromise, then he would do it! He was really brave and rushed out alone!
What was even more unexpected was that the county magistrate had come all the way from the county government office to here alone, killing almost half of Bai'an County. Wherever he passed, no matter if they were good fighters or mediocre hooligans, they could not stop him.
Crush them, just like the attack on Feihu Hall yesterday, a crushing victory without any pressure at all!
His original idea that he would not be able to maintain order without the help of soldiers was completely shattered by the county magistrate's reckless actions. Even his three views were greatly impacted. It turned out that martial arts could be so terrifying when it reached a certain level!
I'm afraid that from today on, all the bad guys in Bai'an County will tremble in fear when they see the county magistrate. This incident today will surely become an indelible nightmare in the hearts of all evildoers.
For some reason, Zhou Yuan suddenly felt so sad for a second-rate master like him. Bai'an County was in chaos, and a hero like him should have emerged, but he just acted as a loud speaker throughout the whole process, shouting until his voice was hoarse.
Alas, I don't want to win without doing anything. I also want to do my part, but my allies are too strong. What can I do? I am helpless!
"Ten taels of silver?" Many of the people around who heard Zhou Yuan's shouting started to think about it. After all, this amount of silver was very tempting to them. And among so many people, there were always some who were brave enough.
Some people with quick minds looked at those who were lying on the ground with only half their lives left, and suddenly an idea flashed in their mind. These people were lying there and no one was taking them away, so they were just picked up for free.
Each person was worth ten taels of silver, and it was nothing more than carrying these seriously injured people to the government office. Even if they were robbed, they couldn't come so quickly. These bad guys who had just made them gnash their teeth in pain, now looked a little cute after a closer look.
Moreover, Shen Yu had severely injured most of the evildoers, and the remaining scattered ones were not a big deal. As long as a few brothers or fathers and sons joined forces, using methods such as beating with clubs, locking hands and feet, and so on, ordinary street thugs basically had no chance of escaping.
As long as the money is in place, some people will be tempted. When the opportunity to make a fortune is in front of them, there will always be people who can't resist. Once there is one, there will be two. These people will form a torrent and sweep away all the remaining or hidden villains.
"Miss, be careful, this is a master!" The careful guards were beside Lu Siyu. After seeing Shen Yu passing by, the two guards suddenly became very nervous.
"Master? How master?"
"I'm afraid he has already entered the post-natal realm! Moreover, his martial arts are extremely powerful, and are definitely not ordinary martial arts. His combat power must also be extraordinary!"
"Wow, interesting, really interesting!" Looking at Shen Yu's figure that had already gone away, the girl smiled gently, her smile was as beautiful as a flower, and it was indescribably beautiful.
