Chapter 31 We Want to Live
Zhang You's eyes widened when he heard this:

"what?!"

The thing he had been preventing from happening finally happened.

Qiu Zhuo was instantly panicked when he heard the approaching shouts and screams.

He shouted hurriedly:

"Go up to the roof and take a look!"

The bailiff hurriedly brought a ladder.

Qiu Zhuo and Zhang You climbed up the ladder and reached the roof.

Looking around, I saw that the county government office was crowded with people.

Countless people gathered towards the county government office from all directions.

The streets were patrolled by the city defense forces and a curfew was enforced.

But at this time, the patrolling city defense troops had already been surrounded by the people, like a small boat in the sea that could sink at any time.

Qiu Zhuo took one look and turned pale with shock:
"Why are there so many people?"

Zhang You replied helplessly:

"It's the people from the towns and villages in the county, all flocking to the city."

“Even from other counties, many people have moved into the city.”

Qiu Zhuo was filled with anger when he heard this:
"Why didn't you seal the city gates earlier?"

"Let so many people into the city, what are you going to do?"

Zhang You really had a lot of grievances.

Taiyang City has been blocked for so long, there will be chaos if the city gates are not opened.

Opening the city gates was originally intended to calm people's hearts, and it went very smoothly at first.

But who would have thought that after the evil Great Sage Master was caught and thrown into the prison, so many people would come here after hearing the news.

Zhang You had originally planned to suggest to Qiu Zhuo to take action tonight, but he didn't expect that he was still a step too late.

At this time, bursts of loud shouts were heard in the night sky.

The cries of the people were so loud that they shook the heavens and the earth:
“We want to live!!!”

“We want to live!!!”

“We want to live!!!”

……

The sound was so shocking that even the tiles on the roof seemed to be shaking.

Outside the yamen, the people had already begun to attack the city defense line.

The usually majestic city defense army was also panicked at this moment.

Their defense line did not look solid, but rather shaky, as if it would be destroyed at any time.

The entire government office was surrounded by the people, and there was no way to escape.

When Qiu Zhuo saw this scene, he was so confused that he accidentally stepped on empty space and fell off the roof.

"grown ups!"

Zhang You hurriedly pulled, but found nothing.

Fortunately, the guards below took action and caught Qiu Zhuo in time.

When Zhang You came down from the roof and came to Qiu Zhuo, he saw that Qiu Zhuo's lips were trembling:
"It's over..."

"I've sparked a civil uprising, and I'm done..."

With so many people involved, it is obviously impossible to suppress this matter easily.

I'm afraid there will be rivers of blood tonight.

Qiu Zhuo knew that if this matter was not handled properly, losing his job would be a small matter, but losing his life would be a big deal.

His life is now either in the hands of the people or in the hands of the court.

Zhang You hurriedly advised:

"County Master, we still have one last way out!"

As he spoke, he pointed in the direction of the prison.

Qiu Zhuo suddenly woke up from his dream and shouted at Zhang You:

"Yes, yes! We can't wait until tomorrow!"

"Let's go to the prison now and meet that demon!"

Immediately, Qiu Zhuo led everyone and walked quickly towards the prison.

Prison.

The light in the yamen prison was dim.

Especially after nightfall, the place could only be illuminated by the braziers, making it even darker and more obscure. When Qiu Zhuo and the others arrived, they saw a scene that shocked them greatly.

I saw the jailers all kneeling in front of a cell, listening to the person inside preaching.

Even many prisoners in other cells knelt down and listened devoutly.

As Qiu Zhuo and his group approached, the jailers stood up in shock:

"County Master..."

The jailers were terrified, fearing that they would be punished by Qiu Zhuo.

Qiu Zhuo walked quickly forward and came to the cell where the jailers were kneeling.

I saw that the cell was kept exceptionally clean by the jailers, who even added a lot of furniture to the cell.

There are not only tables, chairs and benches, but even a comfortable big bed.

As for daily necessities, there is everything, including delicious fish, meat, tea and wine.

This makes people wonder, are the prisoners living in this cell here to serve their sentences or to enjoy themselves?

The jailers lowered their heads even lower, not daring to breathe.

But Qiu Zhuo obviously couldn't take care of these for the time being.

His gaze quickly turned to the prisoner in the cell.

I saw a young man sitting cross-legged on a cushion with his eyes slightly closed, as if he was taking a nap.

Behind the young man, there is a mighty man standing tall, like a guardian warrior.

It was not difficult for Qiu Zhuo to guess that these two people were the great virtuous teacher and the warrior Miao Yuanzheng.

Just when Qiu Zhuo was about to speak.

Liang Jin in the cell suddenly opened his eyes:
"County Magistrate, you are here."

Qiu Zhuo was slightly stunned.

He saw a strong sense of self-confidence from the so-called "monster" in front of him.

It was as if from the very beginning, this demon had expected that he would come to him on his own initiative.

Even... this demon seemed to have already anticipated the current situation in Taiyang County.

Qiu Zhuo calmed himself down and took a deep breath:
"Everyone, please leave. I want to speak to the Great Sage Master alone."

This made everyone stunned.

If a county magistrate wants to have a detailed conversation with a prisoner alone, his safety cannot be guaranteed.

Zhang You spoke hurriedly:
"County Master—"

Qiu Zhuo had already raised his hand to stop Zhang You from speaking.

Zhang You could only wave his hand and let all the jailers and bailiffs leave.

Liang Jin also explained to Miao Yuanzheng beside him:
"You go out too."

Miao Yuanzheng nodded and walked to the cell door.

He grabbed the chain that fastened the cell bars with both hands and pulled hard.

Accompanied by a harsh sound.

The sturdy iron chain was actually deformed by his pulling, and in the end it even broke!
This scene made everyone on Qiu Zhuo's side take a deep breath.

Only then did they realize that Miao Yuanzheng might not only be the eighth-grade warrior they had expected, but his strength might be even higher!
At the same time, they also understood that this evil man came to jail not because he was forced by the government, but because he came here voluntarily.

If he wants to leave, he can leave at any time.

But he had stayed here for this moment.

Miao Yuanzheng's move also suppressed the momentum of the Yamen and others.

Zhang You couldn't help but secretly worry that this would put the county magistrate at a disadvantage in the subsequent negotiations.

But at this point, Zhang You could only leave with everyone else.

Even the prisoners in the other cells were taken away.

The conversation that follows is destined to be unknown to outsiders.

The entire cell quickly became quiet, with only Liang Jin and Qiu Zhuo left.

Liang Jin stretched out his hand and pointed at the cushion in front of him:

"My Lord Magistrate, please."

Qiu Zhuo walked forward and sat down on the cushion.

But when he looked up, he realized that he was now in a prison.

Now the status of the two is no longer one inside the prison and the other outside, but they are equal in the same prison.

A slightly forced smile appeared on Qiu Zhuo's face:
"Great and virtuous teacher, let's have a good talk..."
