Starting from the imperial palace guards, his clones spread all over the world.

Chapter 28 Reap the consequences
Taiyang City.

Lu Tianxing galloped all the way and finally arrived in the city.

As soon as he arrived at the city gate, Lu Tianxing saw a large number of people rushing into the city.

The people looked anxious, as if they were afraid that they would not be able to enter the city if they were too late.

Because the people were so excited, the officers and soldiers who were maintaining order at the city gate were pushed aside.

Out of curiosity, Lu Tianxing stopped someone and asked:
"Old man, what are you going to do?"

The passerby replied:
"We heard that the Great Sage of the Taiping Dao was imprisoned in the county jail. We all went to the yamen to petition the county magistrate to release the Great Sage."

"If the Great Sage Master is truly released, we will be able to receive his medical treatment immediately."

Lu Tianxing was very surprised when he heard this.

I didn't expect that even after being caught, the evildoer could still be so inspiring.

He asked hurriedly:

"Didn't the government distribute any good medicine to you that could cure your illness?"

The passerby rolled his eyes at Lu Tianxing, as if he were an idiot:
"If there were a cure, why would we travel so far?"

"Let me tell you, not only does Taiyang County not have medicine to treat the epidemic, but even the nearby counties don't have it either."

"Many people from neighboring counties are also rushing here."

After saying this, the passerby ignored Lu Tianxing and quickly headed towards the city.

Lu Tianxing stood there for a while, and finally led his horse into the city.

After entering the city, he did not go to the government office first, but went to the Xu family.

As one of the two main leaders who betrayed Taiping Dao, he now just wanted to find the other leader, Xu Gui, to discuss things.

Soon, he arrived at Xu's house.

As soon as Lu Tianxing entered the Xu family courtyard, he heard a loud noise.

In the bedroom, Mrs. Xu angrily scolded Xu Gui:

"I'm telling you, if anything happens to my children, I won't live, and you won't have an easy life either!"

"It's clear that our children's condition has improved after drinking the talisman water, but are you possessed by a ghost? You actually want us to drink the medicine you brought back."

"Look now! Your children's condition is getting worse day by day. Your youngest son is even in a coma!"

"Hurry up and find a way to get some talisman water for me, otherwise you will never come home again!"

Then the bedroom door opened.

Xu Gui was driven out by the lady.

"Bah!"

The bedroom doors finally slammed shut.

Lu Tianxing hurriedly went forward and saw that Xu Gui's face had several scratches from his fingernails.

Today is obviously not a good day for a visit.

But Lu Tianxing couldn't care less about that. He asked hurriedly:

"Boss Xu, those medicines we brought back from the government office..."

Xu Gui raised his head and opened his mouth, but in the end he couldn't say anything, only let out a long sigh.

This made Lu Tianxing feel nervous. It seemed that Xu Gui also realized that there was something wrong with the medicine.

"Let's go ask the authorities."

Lu Tianxing made a suggestion.

Xu Gui frowned and nodded somewhat absentmindedly.

The two of them then planned to leave the Xu family together.

But who would have expected.

As soon as they arrived at the gate, they were blocked by a group of people.

This group of people were armed with sticks and had no good intentions.

The burly man in the lead grabbed Xu Gui by the collar:
"Xu Gui! You damned profiteer!"

"Didn't you say your medicine could cure the plague? My mother took your medicine, but she still died!"

"That was the medicine I spent fifty taels of silver on!"

Lu Tianxing understood as soon as he heard it.

Xu Gui sold the medicinal herbs, but because they had no effect, the person who wanted to buy the medicine came to his door today.

Sure enough, I heard people behind me shouting:
"You bastard, you cheated me out of two taels of gold to buy medicine! But my wife's condition hasn't improved at all. How dare you cheat me out of this life-saving money!"

"I spent all my money to buy medicine to treat my brother. You are such a beast!"

"Refund! Refund! Refund!"

……

Everyone was very excited.

Many people even raised their fists and picked up sticks to hit Xu Gui fiercely.

Xu Gui was beaten so badly that he ran away with his head in his hands, and hurriedly fled into the house.

Lu Tianxing originally wanted to give them some advice, but everyone thought he was in the same group with Xu Gui, so they started beating him up.

This made Lu Tianxing scream:

"I didn't sell any drugs! Don't hit me!"

"Ouch! You hit the wrong guy!"

But everyone was already so angry that they couldn't listen to what he said.
Fists continued to rain down like raindrops. Unable to resist, Lu Tianxing could only imitate Xu Gui and run away desperately.

……

A long time passed.

The crowd who came to return their money finally got the money to buy medicine from Xu Gui.

Some people even received a batch of compensation.

This calmed their anger a little and they left one after another.

But Lu Tianxing and Xu Gui were in a miserable state.

They sat on the ground with bruised faces and noses, and even their clothes were torn.

The wounds on their bodies made the two men groan.

Lu Tianxing felt like crying but had no tears. He was implicated and beaten for no reason.

It’s such a huge injustice!
"You've really hurt me!"

He complained to Xu Gui in an annoyed voice.

Xu Gui's eyes were empty.

The money is gone...

A while ago, he made a fortune selling medicine and became rich overnight.

But who would have thought.

All this immense wealth turned out to be nothing but an illusion, and ultimately a dream.

Now the wealth is lost.

I even lost a lot of money.

He had no choice but to return the money, otherwise he would be beaten to death today.

But this beating gradually made him wake up.

"go!"

"Let's go to the government office and ask Master Zhang for clarification!"

"This is the medicine he gave us, he has to be responsible!"

Xu Gui stood up suddenly and walked out with big strides.

Seeing this, Lu Tianxing could only follow hurriedly without caring about the pain all over his body.

The two of them followed the street and finally arrived at the yamen.

But now the entrance to the yamen is already crowded with people.

These are the people who are petitioning.

They gathered together to petition the government, hoping that the Great Sage Master would be released.

Because there were too many civilians, even the city defense forces were dispatched.

The city defense forces had just dispersed the people, but after a while the people gathered around them again.

This made the city defenders more and more irritated, and they became more and more violent when dispersing.

The people were also angered by the beating, which led to constant conflicts between them and the city defense forces.

If Lu Tianxing and the others had seen such a situation in the past, they would have inevitably made cold remarks and laughed at them.

But at this moment, they had no time to watch the fun.

The two of them squeezed to the front and ran towards the county government gate while shouting to the gatekeeper:

"We want to see Master Zhang!"

"We have an appointment with Master Zhang, hurry up and call—"

Before the two men could finish shouting, they were immediately pushed out roughly by the yamen runners.

Lu Tianxing and Xu Gui hurriedly explained:

"We've been to the yamen with Master Zhang before, so you should know us."

"We have important matters to discuss with Master Zhang. Please let us in quickly, or you will be held responsible if we are delayed!"

However, the yamen runners ignored the threats of the two men.

I only heard the yamen runners cursing:

"Go away!"

"Master Zhang has already told you two guys not to enter the county government office again. Get out of here now!"

Lu Tianxing and Xu Gui wanted to say more.

But the yamen runners didn't give in to any explanation and swung their water and fire sticks to hit the two men hard.

This resulted in the two men being beaten again, and they had no choice but to flee again.

After running far away, the two stopped to rest, still in shock.

"What should I do now?"

Lu Tianxing said helplessly.

He really didn't expect that he couldn't even see Master Zhang.

This made it impossible for him to explain to his fellow villagers in Juniu Township.

Xu Gui gritted his teeth and said angrily:
"We'll wait outside the government office."

"I just don't believe he doesn't go in and out of the government office!"
