In the short time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the Qingzong disciples had gained the upper hand and trampled them all under their feet.
The officials from the county government, seeing that Xiao Feng possessed such strength, glared at them with resentment: "You actually dared to lay a hand on the people from the county government? Aren't you afraid of us?"
Those around them came to Xiao Feng's side and whispered, "What should we do? We can't kill them."
Qingzong arranged for them to help the people of Zili Kingdom alone this time, but no one expected that they would encounter a little incident here.
Looking at the arrogant manner of the constables, Xiao Feng realized that they must have done a lot of immoral things while working at the inn.
Since that's the case, we can't leave them here.
Xiao Feng then addressed the Qingzong disciples, saying, "Everyone, listen to my command. Take them with me to the yamen. I refuse to believe there's no place in the yamen where we can seek justice."
The Qingzong disciple nodded slightly, grabbed the person on the ground, and made them lead the way.
The yamen was quite far from the inn, so they needed to keep a close eye on the yamen runners to prevent them from wandering into any alleys.
They are certainly more familiar with this city than I am.
Even the slightest carelessness could bring them huge trouble.
They were surrounded by disciples of the Qingzong sect patrolling the perimeter. Whenever a constable came out, they would beat him to a pulp.
In the short time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Xiao Feng led them to the entrance of the county government office and pointed inside: "Come on, I want to ask the county magistrate inside how they manage things."
Because they had arrested many yamen runners, the yamen runners at the gate did not dare to stop them and let them walk inside.
Soon, the county magistrate came running out while putting on his clothes, his face full of tension: "What's going on? Who dares to break into our county office?"
Seeing the county magistrate's disheveled appearance, Xiao Feng casually tossed the yamen runner beside him in front of him: "You're the county magistrate of this county?"
The magistrate glanced at Xiao Feng and noticed his fierce expression, vaguely sensing that he was either a bandit or a rebel.
Such people become local tyrants in their county government offices, and no one can stand against them.
However, the magistrate was worried about losing face, so he gave a wink to the yamen runners beside him, signaling them to quietly follow him.
Judging from their expressions, it seemed they wanted to get rid of Xiao Feng.
Those around Xiao Feng blocked his way and burst into laughter: "These people are not worth your time. Let us handle them."
The disciples of the Azure Sect finally had a chance to showcase their talents, so how could they possibly do nothing?
In just ten breaths, all the unharmed yamen runners were lying on the ground, groaning in pain.
Xiao Feng glanced at the magistrate with a cold expression: "Do you have anyone else? Have them all come out, so they don't waste my time one by one."
The magistrate has already assigned all the capable yamen runners in the county government, and those who remain here now have little power.
The magistrate approached Xiao Feng with some fear, took a deep breath, and said, "I wonder where you come from? Perhaps the Xiao family behind me knows you."
"The Xiao family?"
Xiao Feng looked at them with a surprised expression, not understanding which Xiao family they were referring to.
Seeing that Xiao Feng showed some interest in the Xiao family he mentioned, the magistrate quickly asked, "The Xiao family of Zili Kingdom, I wonder if you have heard of them?"
Suddenly, someone approached Xiao Feng and whispered a reminder: "Could it be...?"
Xiao Feng shook his head: "It's not that coincidental. Besides, I've never seen such a person in Zi Li Kingdom. It must just be a coincidence that the names are the same."
The magistrate listened to their words and realized that he couldn't understand them at all.
Now, no one in the county government office knew that they had done something wrong, which made Xiao Feng walk up to them with a face full of anger.
"Since you are from Zi Li Kingdom, and you killed our people, you will lead the way for us."
The magistrate, seeing Xiao Feng trying to lead him away, was filled with fear and quietly took a few steps back.
However, with his ordinary physique, how could he possibly be a match for Xiao Feng?
Xiao Feng flashed in front of the magistrate and intercepted him.
The magistrate, his face full of bitterness, slumped to the ground: "I'm just a lowly magistrate, please spare me, I know nothing!"
Xiao Feng didn't care what he was saying and pointed around: "You guys keep an eye on him. Don't let him get away, or I won't let you off the hook."
As the leader of the Azure Sect, one needs to maintain a certain level of authority.
Those around him laughed when they heard that Xiao Feng needed their help to protect the magistrate: "As long as we're here, the magistrate will never escape."
In the short time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the magistrate resigned himself to his fate and walked in front of them, his face full of grievance, not understanding what he had done wrong.
Xiao Feng walked at the front of the group, his eyes fixed ahead, pondering how to address the people of Zi Li Kingdom.
It's utterly shameful that the team they sent out actually died in this city.
If the Qingzong sect fails to protect even those they need to protect, it will definitely have an impact on them if this gets out.
Just as he was pondering, the magistrate came up to Xiao Feng with a smirk on his face: "Where are you from? See if you can let me go."
At this point, he took a considerable amount of money from his clothes, as if trying to bribe them.
Those around him saw the money in the magistrate's hand and sneered, "If you only have this much money, it probably wouldn't even be enough to buy your life, let alone the people behind you."
This time, many of the county yamen runners were arrested to prevent them from preying on the people in the city.
Seeing that everyone around was stopping the magistrate from taking the money, Xiao Feng couldn't help but say to those around him, "Since they've already taken out the money, we can't just pretend we didn't see it, can we?"
He went up to the magistrate, put all the money away, and put it inside his clothes.
When the magistrate saw Xiao Feng accept the money, he smiled broadly and said, "Now that you've taken my money, can you let me go?"
Xiao Feng looked at the magistrate who was staring at him, his face full of incomprehension: "Let you go? What are you thinking? When did I take your money?"
Upon hearing Xiao Feng's words, those around him immediately realized what he meant and glared at them, saying, "That's right, when did we take your money? You're talking nonsense."
The other disciples of the Qing Sect started pushing and shoving, as if they wanted the constables to move forward quickly.
Xiao Feng was ruthless this time. He not only needed their money but also refused to help them, which left all the constables in despair.
