At this moment, there were thousands of people gathered outside the gate of Zhongshuai's mansion, squeezing the originally wide open space to a crawl.

Driven away by the armed guards of Commander Zhong's Mansion, these people panicked and wandered around in all directions. Many people were tripped and trampled. There were cries, screams and curses everywhere.

At this moment, the side of the road suddenly erupted into howls like "Kill someone!" and "Zhong Kewei's grandson has killed someone!", as if pouring a spoonful of water into the chaos like a hot oil pan.

There was a huge panic.

"Run quickly, the Donghao people are going to massacre Douchuan Pass!"

"They want to kill all the Beian people in Douchuan Pass!"

"Hong Yeke is dead, and they want to silence him!"

"Everyone present today must die. Otherwise, if this matter spreads, how can the Donghao people deceive people into working for them?"

At first, only some people were panicking, but when everyone saw Zhong Yunhai surrounded by guards and the bloody Dongdao in Zhong Yunhai's hand, almost everyone believed these cries.

"Run, run!"

"If you don't leave, the Donghao army will come!"

"The people of Donghao are indeed barbarians, they don't know what benevolence, righteousness and justice are at all!"

Kang Yingjiang's face turned green and red as he listened to these words, and for a moment he didn't know what to do.

If these rumors are allowed to spread, most of the Bei'an people in Douchuan Pass will escape before tomorrow, and these rumors will spread throughout the world.

But if the army is really sent to suppress it, then these words will become reality. When the Donghao royal family kills Hong Yeke, and Zhongshuai's grandson slaughters innocent passers-by and scholars, it will become a crime that everyone believes.

Just for such a moment of hesitation, the crowd in front of the gate was already rushing towards the foot of the mountain like a torrent.

Gu Zhao was shocked by the change of things. It was only when Zhong Yunhai turned around and shouted "Sir, come quickly" that she realized and quickly chased after him.

Qin Xinglie naturally said nothing and followed Gu Zhao towards Commander Zhong's mansion.

Like a school of fish swimming upstream, the group of people finally squeezed through the gate of Commander Zhong's Mansion under the protection of the guards.

Kang Yingjiang ordered, "Close the door of the house! No one is allowed to come near!"

"If there is any violation, shoot without mercy!"

The two heavy red doors closed with a rumble.

"What's going on?" Zhong Kewei's voice came first before anyone arrived. This time, he was not as calm and calm as before, and his tone was inevitably a little anxious.

Gu Zhao noticed that not far behind Zhong Kewei, Mashanxiong lowered his head and followed the guard.

It seems that what Qin Xinglie said just now is right, Mashanxiong may have really gone to Zhong Kewei's study...

Kang Yingjiang hurriedly stepped forward and carefully reported what he knew about the situation.

Zhong Kewei frowned and waved to Zhong Yunhai, "Come here!"

Zhong Yunhai had woken up from the confusion and confusion he had felt just now. Now he was only worried about getting into trouble and being beaten by his grandfather. As for the lives of Bei'an people, he didn't care at all.

Even if he is a Donghao official, he doesn't dare to kill him, let alone a mere humble Bei'an person?

He handed the bloody Dong Dao to the guard to wipe it clean, and then twisted his body and moved towards Zhong Kewei.

If his grandfather was amused by his artificial actions, the subsequent punishment would be much lighter. This is the experience Zhong Yunhai has accumulated over the years.

Unfortunately, this time, Zhong Yunhai's intention did not succeed.

Until he moved in front of Zhong Kewei, Zhong Kewei's expression showed no sign of softening.

"Grandpa..." Zhong Yunhai grabbed Zhong Kewei's arm and shook it coquettishly.

Zhong Kewei snorted, raised his hand and said, "Go up to the wall and have a look."

This handsome mansion has existed for more than a hundred years. After generations of repairs by Douchuan Pass generals, it is said to be a handsome mansion, but in fact it is not much different from a small town.

It's just that the thickness and scale of the city wall are superior to many ordinary cities.

Surrounded by guards, Zhong Kewei climbed onto the city wall of the Commander's Mansion.

Zhong Yunhai was held in his hand.

Gu Zhao followed Kang Yingjiang, and Qin Xinglie followed Yuncong Jiyu, who also climbed up the city wall.

Looking down from the city wall of Shuai's Mansion, which is several feet high, we can see that most of the crowd at the entrance of Shuai's Mansion has fled, and only some who are slow to react and have weak legs are still walking slowly towards the foot of the mountain.

There were also some unlucky ones, some who fell down and were injured and unable to move, wailing on the ground; there were even a few lying motionless on the ground, probably because they were trampled to death.

And the deceased lying on the side of the road, with a pool of blood underneath him, was the scholar from Bei'an who was stabbed to death by Zhong Yunhai.

The guards outside the door had swords and guns in hand, as if facing a formidable enemy, fearing that someone would take the opportunity to attack Commander Zhong's mansion, but everyone in front of the door ran away and there was no movement.

"Tell me, why did you kill someone?" Zhong Kewei asked Zhong Yunhai, his face as dark as water, staring at the corpse lying in blood.

Zhong Yunhai had almost thought it through for a long time, and now he said aggrievedly, "I didn't want to kill him."

Zhong Kewei knew his grandson so well that he didn't answer the conversation at all, just waiting for his next words.

"I, I just made a gesture with the knife, who knew, suddenly the crowd came up." Zhong Yunhai really felt that he was innocent, "There were too many people, I don't know who squeezed me, I shook my arm,

The knife was thrust forward, and then the man bumped into him!"

"I don't know him, and he didn't offend me. Why should I kill him?"

Zhong Kewei looked at his expression and felt that a considerable part of what Zhong Yunhai said was true - he really had never thought about killing the Bei'an scholar.
