#167 - Last words

Prefectural government office.

Study.

Prefect Gao Yuan, the Prefect, and An Liangbi, the Vice Prefect, sat on chairs, their faces showing displeasure, and remained silent.

After a long while.

Gao Yuan finally spoke:

"Liangbi, are you working for the Yang family?"

An Liangbi said:

"Your Honor, this official is acting according to the law."

Gao Yuan coldly snorted:

"How much silver have you received from the Yang family?"

An Liangbi replied:

"The momentum of the Taiping Dao rebellion has already formed. If it is not eradicated, it will inevitably lead to disaster."

Gao Yuan slammed the table:

"An Liangbi! You, a dignified Vice Prefect, just because of a word from the Yang family, you took a group of officials to the Yang family's mansion for a meeting."

"You must remember that you are an official of the imperial court, not a servant of the Yang family!"

An Liangbi sat up straight:

"This official only knows that above is the Emperor's grace, and below is the law!"

"The rebellion in the neighboring Yang Prefecture is raging. Our Qing Prefecture must not have another civil unrest!"

Gao Yuan swept the table, and all the teacups on the table were swept to the ground and shattered.

He stood up and pointed at An Liangbi, angrily saying:

"Now, in this Qing Prefecture government office, are you the Prefect or am I the Prefect?"

An Liangbi also stood up. Facing Gao Yuan, he slowly took off his black gauze hat:

"If Your Honor is dissatisfied with me, you can report to the imperial court and remove this black gauze hat of mine."

"But as long as I am here for one day, I am unwilling to see Your Honor disregard the law and ignore the people of Qing Prefecture."

Gao Yuan was so angry that he laughed.

He said "Good!" three times in a row, and then sneered:

"Good, An Liangbi. I didn't realize before that you were the biggest protector of the Yang family in the government office."

"Then I will tell you that as long as I am here for one day, I will never allow a troublemaker like you to run wild."

"The order to search and arrest the Taiping Dao, let me see who dares to issue it?!"

An Liangbi slowly put the black gauze hat back on his head.

He took two steps back and faced the plaque of "Integrity and Diligence" hanging in the study.

He looked at the plaque and said solemnly:

"Your Honor, there are two hundred yamen runners and two thousand idlers in the Qing Prefecture city government office; ninety yamen runners and five hundred idlers in the county government; and two thousand soldiers under the command of the garrison commander."

"Today, they have all signed a petition, willing for Your Honor to order the extermination of the Taiping Dao."

"Now that the Taiping Dao is wreaking havoc in Qing Prefecture city, it has long been a matter of public resentment, so everyone is pleading to the County Magistrate with tears of blood."

"This is the general trend and the will of the people. I hope Your Honor will seriously consider it."

After speaking, An Liangbi bowed to the plaque of "Integrity and Diligence", and then bowed to Gao Yuan.

Gao Yuan angrily sat back in his chair alone.

He had always thought that he was the highest decision-maker in Qing Prefecture, and everything was up to him.

As long as he was still in the position of Prefect, everyone would have to obey his orders.

But until today, Gao Yuan was surprised to find that the Yang family was actually the real master of Qing Prefecture in secret.

The Yang family is like a malignant tumor.

Usually, occasionally making some trouble, Gao Yuan thought it was just a minor ailment and would not cause any harm.

But once something big really happens, this malignant tumor can actually be fatal!

"The Yang family!"

Gao Yuan couldn't help but slap the table again.

Judging from the current situation of the Yang family, the middle and lower-level officials have basically been bought off by them, and even the Vice Prefect, who is second only to the Prefect, has become their person.

In this way, I am afraid that the Yang family will soon cause a disturbance.

At that time, Gao Yuan was very clear that he would not even be able to stay out of it and pretend that he could not see anything.

Under the operation of the Yang family and Han Guozhang, the final blame must be borne by Gao Yuan!

The iron-clad gentry, the flowing Prefect.

When Gao Yuan cannot satisfy the Yang family, the Yang family will definitely replace a Prefect.

And in this land of Qing Prefecture, the malignant tumor of the Yang family will still take root here.

But.

Gao Yuan would not be willing to be the scapegoat!

"The Yang family, An Liangbi!"

"Do you want to cause trouble?"

"Good! Then this official will make this chaos even bigger!"

"When the time comes, I will see who can't handle the situation!"

Thinking of this, a raging fire had already emerged in Gao Yuan's eyes.

Immediately, Gao Yuan walked to the door and called his confidant.

He whispered a few words in his confidant's ear.

Upon hearing this, the confidant quickly left.

Gao Yuan looked at the back of his confidant leaving, his eyes flashing with tension and excitement.

He was very clear that with this decision of his.

Everything in Qing Prefecture city was probably going to undergo a drastic change tonight!

… … … …

Shenlu Peak.

White Deer Manor.

To be precise, the White Deer Manor no longer exists.

Instead, it is the main altar of the Taiping Dao.

Here, yellow flags are fluttering, talismans are all over the walls, filled with a solemn and mysterious feeling.

Everywhere is full of a strong religious atmosphere.

And the number of pious men and women who come to worship is countless.

At this time.

Liang Jin, Lu Qiannan, Zhang You, Miao Yuanzheng and other core members of the Taiping Dao are in a secret room.

What comes into view are boxes and boxes of gold and silver jewelry.

Zhang You couldn't help but sigh:

"The Yang family is known as the richest family in Qing Prefecture, and it lives up to its reputation."

"There is so much gold and silver jewelry hidden here."

"This is just one of the many hiding places of the Yang family's wealth. I wonder how much the Yang family's total wealth would be if added up?"

Not only was Zhang You amazed.

Even Lu Qiannan and Miao Yuanzheng had never seen so much money in their lives.

This made them somewhat lost in thought for a while.

Liang Jin only glanced at these wealth, and then lost interest.

He instructed:

"Zhang You, quickly count these gold and silver, and then write a plan on how to reasonably arrange these funds for me."

"Now, more and more people are joining the Taiping Dao, and there are more and more places where money needs to be spent."

"With this money, at least we don't have to worry about funding issues for a period of time in the future."

Zhang You was overjoyed when he heard this. He didn't expect that the Great Virtuous Teacher meant to hand over the financial power of the Taiping Dao to him.

This made Zhang You even more grateful and promised to do it well.

At this time.

A Yellow Turban soldier ran in in a hurry:

"Great Virtuous Teacher, Shao of the Chihuo Sword Sect asks you to come over."

"Sect Leader Shao, he is probably... not long for this world."

Liang Jin was also taken aback when he heard this.

But after thinking about it carefully, although this news was unexpected, it was also reasonable.

Shao Hongbo was plagued by injuries and illnesses, and he was too old, so he would not live for a few days anyway.

It was good that he was able to hold on until now.

Immediately, Liang Jin did not delay and immediately walked out of the secret room.

Now.

All the members of the Chihuo Sword Sect are guests in this main altar and live here.

This is also Shao Hongbo's intention to let his subordinates get closer to the Taiping Dao, and at the same time, it is to prevent accidents.

Liang Jin quickly arrived at the guest room.

All the disciples of the Chihuo Sword Sect were gathered outside the guest room, with sad and painful faces.

Liang Jin passed through the crowd and walked into the guest room.

Shao Hongbo was lying on the sickbed, and Jiang Lengxue and a group of high-level members of the Chihuo Sword Sect were gathered around his bed.

"The Great Virtuous Teacher is here!"

"Quickly make way for the Great Virtuous Teacher, the Sect Leader has something to say to the Great Virtuous Teacher!"

Everyone made way, allowing Liang Jin to walk in.

He came to the bedside and saw that Shao Hongbo was already full of death.

His hair was dry and withered like dry grass, his cheeks were deeply sunken, and his skin had lost its luster.

He was lying there unable to move, and it seemed that he could not even turn over.

Obviously, he had indeed reached the last moment.

Shao Hongbo slowly raised his thin and wrinkled hand full of age spots.

Jiang Lengxue, who was crying, stood up from the bedside and made way for Liang Jin.

Liang Jin stepped forward and sat on the bedside, holding Shao Hongbo's palm:

"Sect Leader Shao, please rest assured and recuperate, your illness will get better."

Shao Hongbo shook his head slightly.

His face was already as white as a piece of paper:

"I know... my situation..."

"You... listen to me..."

"I have... important things... to explain..."

In the room, everyone was listening attentively.

They all knew that Shao Hongbo was about to give his last words!
