Chapter 75: The fuse

The housekeeper said weakly, "I'm afraid it's too late. The relatives of the servants who took the medicine yesterday have confirmed that it is really good medicine."

Magistrate Shi's gaze darkened as he said fiercely, "Then arrest them all to set an example!"

The housekeeper said in a trembling voice, "But there are so many people!"

Magistrate Shi roared, "They are rioters now, rioters who want to rebel. The rioters should be executed on the spot! Now, subdue them while things can be controlled!"

The housekeeper gritted his teeth and said, "Sir, why don't we run now?"

Magistrate Shi looked at his trembling face and sneered. "Run! Where can we go? If I give up my status as a magistrate and leave this residence, I'll die! Even if I don't die, no matter the Ling or Chu kingdom wins, none of them will let me, a despicable person, off!"

Magistrate Shi's heart-wrenching determination seemed to reflect the days of this housekeeper in the future.

"If you're not ruthless to others, you're being ruthless to yourself. Go and get someone to do it quickly!" Magistrate Shi gritted his teeth and made a final decision.

What could the butler do? He and Magistrate Shi were in the same boat. He could only harden his heart and make arrangements.

The seconds ticked by.

The door of the magistrate's residence was not opened. Instead, a large group of soldiers with bows and arrows quickly rushed out and stopped all the commoners.

Before the commoners could react, the leader of the soldiers shot out a sharp arrow. Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! The sharp arrow fell like a rain of flowers. In an instant, a large number of commoners fell.

When Gu Zhongxun saw this, he hurriedly shouted at the soldiers who were shooting, "Stop! Stop!"

No one listened to him. All the officers and soldiers could think about was shooting these disobedient citizens clean. Then they would obtain the plague medicine.

A few of the men among the commoners dodged in time and whistled.

The magistrate had a prescription and medicinal herbs, but he refused to save the commoners. The news swept through every corner of Jiangyuan City like a whirlwind.

Soon, more civilians rushed over from behind the soldiers.

The soldiers suddenly turned around and realized that there were so many citizens. They panicked for a moment before immediately changing directions and aiming their bows at them.

Gu Zhongxun rushed out and grabbed the arm of one of the soldiers. "You can't shoot! They're all innocent citizens!"

As he spoke, someone in the crowd took the lead and shouted, "Charge! Kill the dog official and avenge everyone!"

"Charge! Defeat the dog official and get the medicine. Then, everyone will recover!"

"Kill the dog official!"

"Kill the dog official!"

The officer whose arm was grabbed by Gu Zhongxun was a little hesitant at first. When he saw the commoners charging over ferociously, he immediately raised his bow and shot another commoner without hesitation.

Gu Zhongxun's eyes turned red when he saw that the civilians who were shot were only half-grown children.

He looked at the soldiers and the hundred families who were already fighting and shouted sadly, "There will be medicine. What are you doing—!!!"
