When Lin Zao and his group finally reached the foot of Tianniu Mountain, they saw Tang Jian's army surrounding the mountain.
The soldiers who were on guard duty were quite nervous when they saw a carriage and more than ten horses approaching.
Fortunately, the soldiers recognized Sun Ding and Tian Bu'er, which prevented them from coming to blows.
And so Lin Zao and the others were brought before Tang Jian.
When Tang Jian saw that Lin Zao had also come to Furong Town, his face turned ashen as he glared at Sun Ding and Tian Bu'er.
Lin Zao: "Husband, don't blame those two. You know, if I wanted to come, they couldn't stop me!"
Tang Jian glanced at Lin Zao helplessly. Of course he knew, but he was always worried that she might be in danger.
Even the most skilled person can be overwhelmed by too many enemies, and a haphazard attack can defeat a master.
"Madam, please don't take such risks next time. Better safe than sorry!"
Tian Bu'er was secretly amazed. Sure enough, even the most ruthless person has a soft side.
Tang Jian: "What's going on with these horses?"
Tian Bu'er quickly stepped forward and gave him a detailed report on their encounter with the bearded man.
Tang Jian frowned, realizing that's how it is.
The information he had received earlier was that the refugees here could no longer endure the mayor's oppression and had even formed an anti-organization.
They burned, killed, looted, and committed all sorts of atrocities.
Tang Jian brought a hundred soldiers to suppress the unrest, but since they were ordinary civilians, he couldn't order them all to be killed.
If we do this, it will likely discourage the refugees and create even greater problems in the future.
Moreover, many refugees are misled and have no idea that what they are doing is illegal.
The mayor of Furong Town did indeed make a big mistake, so Tang Jian arrested and investigated the mayor as soon as he arrived yesterday.
When Tang Jian tried to appease the refugees again, they were furious and refused to believe anything he said.
Tang Jian realized that someone was causing trouble inside. If the refugees hesitated even slightly, someone would say that Tang Jian was using delaying tactics.
Once they surrender, they will be arrested and punished.
Those who were causing trouble clearly had malicious intentions, so Tang Jian directly ordered the shooting of those who were fanning the flames.
Seeing that someone had died, the refugees became even less receptive to Tang Jian's words.
This group of refugees numbered over 500, several times more than Tang Jian's 100.
However, the soldiers Tang Jian brought were veterans who had fought valiantly on the battlefield. They still had weapons, which was more than enough to deal with these unarmed refugees.
Thus, the two sides remained locked in a stalemate, one unwilling to yield and the other unwilling to harm innocent people.
So the refugees retreated to Tianniu Mountain, where Tang Jian led troops to guard the foot of the mountain, and both sides sent people to negotiate.
Unfortunately, the refugees have been resisting and unwilling to engage in proper negotiations.
Tang Jian and his men had been guarding the area at the foot of Tianniu Mountain for a day and a night, but had made no progress.
Now that he had learned the news brought by Lin Zao and the others, Tang Jian finally understood everything.
Those who coveted the Celestial Master's relics were clearly using these refugees to buy them time so they could search for the items on Tianniu Mountain without attracting attention.
Once they succeed, they will certainly not care about the lives of these refugees and will flee.
Tang Jian's face was icy cold. These people were truly audacious, disregarding the lives of ordinary people for their own benefit.
Moreover, regardless of whether the Celestial Master's relics are real or fake, no matter how tightly they are kept secret, they will eventually be discovered by those with ulterior motives. The bearded man is a prime example.
Thinking about this, Tang Jian felt that he couldn't delay any longer.
We need to get things sorted out here as soon as possible.
