Chapter 218 Deterrence

In this way, Zhu Gui used psychological tactics to successfully 'attack' Ma Renjie's psychological defense and let the other party take advantage of him.

However, at present, his understanding of Ma Renjie's ability is only based on the methods that the other party has shown before, and it can be said that he does not understand how talented the other party is.

This is enough to show Zhu Gui's love for talents.

When Zhu Gui arranged all this, turned around and left the room, and was about to tell Liao Qinghai to send someone to take good care of Ma Renjie, he saw the other party walking over with a livid face.

"My lord, something serious has happened. Those unscrupulous people want to storm the county governor's house. The situation is urgent. You and your subordinates should leave through the back door."

Liao Qinghai said anxiously.

"Oh? How could this happen? How did you become the county governor?"

Zhu Gui did not expect that things would reach this level. Originally, his primary goal in coming to Taiyuan was to eradicate these local "cancers", but he did not expect that it would be these common people who caused him a lot of trouble in the end.

"At present, it seems that it was caused by the prince rescuing Ma Renjie, but I feel that this matter is not that simple. It is possible that someone is behind the scenes to add fuel to the fire."

Liao Qinghai analyzed.

Zhu Gui nodded and said: "What you said makes sense, but now, who else dares to do this and has the ability to do it?"

Logically speaking, the opposition forces in Taiyuan have been almost wiped out, and the remaining family forces have all taken refuge in the three major families.

Could it be that the three major families have other ideas? But how dare they do this when they all know Zhu Gui's identity?

And do they really think they can really do anything to Zhu Gui with just these people?

But no matter what the truth of this matter is, we still have to deal with the mob that has rushed into the county magistrate's house.

There was a sound of intensive footsteps coming from far and near. It seemed that the officers and soldiers of the Sheriff's Mansion had lost their defense.

Soon, a group of people armed with various "weapons" rushed into the yard.

When Liao Qinghai saw this, he quickly protected Zhu Gui behind him and shouted: "My lord, please leave quickly, I will hold them back."

In panic, he accidentally exposed Zhu Gui's identity.

But now is no longer the time to pay attention to these things, and the mob opposite doesn't care about them at all.

"You are so bold and cunning, you dare to rush into the county governor's house. What do you want to do?" Liao Qinghai shouted loudly.

The few people at the front seemed to wake up a little after hearing Liao Qinghai's words, and wanted to stop.

But there were people behind them who kept pushing them, so nearly a hundred people soon crowded into the courtyard.

"Liao Qinghai, you harbor a murderer and are not worthy of being the local county guard."

"Yes, when those gangs were rampant, you didn't care at all. Now that they have fallen, you still shield them. It is really an unforgivable crime."

Several voices came from the crowd, but no one spoke.

But it successfully aroused the emotions of this group of people.

"Catch Liao Qinghai and bring down the corrupt officials."

"Catch Liao Qinghai and bring down the corrupt officials."

For a time, the crowd was excited, and the instigated people gathered around with red eyes.

Liao Qinghai, however, had a hard time defending himself and could only protect Zhu Gui behind him and retreat step by step.

"Okay, Governor Liao, it's become obvious that someone is indeed making trouble. Leave it to me now."

Zhu Gui said.

"But, Your Majesty..." Liao Qinghai wanted to say something else, but he suddenly saw a cannon beside Zhu Gui, and he was immediately dumbfounded.

Zhu Gui didn't want to bombard civilians, he just wanted to scare these people.

But he forgot one thing, that is, not many La people in this era have ever seen cannons, let alone the divine cannons that have not yet appeared in history.

As a result, although these ordinary people were startled by the sudden appearance of the Shenwu cannon, they immediately rushed over again.

Zhu Gui finally realized the problem, but now, he could only treat the problem as a dead horse, so he raised the angle of the Shenwu cannon, and then lit the fuse.

With a loud noise, the ground shook.

The people closest to the Shenwu cannon were shaken to the point of dizziness, and the people on the other side who were caught off guard were so frightened that they fell to the ground.

But it wasn't over yet. The shells from the Shenwu cannon directly penetrated the courtyard wall behind them, and then blasted a big hole in the ground.

Fortunately, no one was nearby, otherwise the commander's body would be gone.

But the power of this shot still successfully shocked everyone present.

They stared at Zhu Gui in stunned silence, or at the steel monster next to him.

Seeing that these people had finally "calmed down", Liao Qinghai quickly regrouped the officers and soldiers who had been scattered.

The two sides once again formed a confrontation situation.

Liao Qinghai shouted to everyone: "Please don't be impulsive. Although Ma Renjie is the bandit leader, he still needs to be tried by the county magistrate for his crimes before he can be convicted."

His words finally reminded these people of the purpose of their trip.

"Lord Sheriff, most of us here have been bullied by those gangs. Now they finally got their due end. We all applauded. Now I just hope you can hand over Ma Renjie."

"That's right, not killing Ma Renjie is not enough to make the people angry."

"Kill Ma Renjie."

The crowd began to shout slogans, but due to the 'threat' of the Shenwu Cannon, they were no longer as excited as before, but wanted to put pressure on Liao Qinghai.

Zhu Gui looked at the scene in front of him speechlessly. This Taiyuan City is really magical. Forget about all these aristocratic families, even the people here have such hot tempers. It is too easy to be fanned out.

However, he also noticed that several people in the crowd were whispering to each other, as if they were plotting something.

Although I don’t know if they are the same people who guided public opinion before, these people must also be one of the driving forces behind the scenes.

So Zhu Gui asked Liao Qinghai to mobilize officers and soldiers to arrest the people, while he himself gave a few words on his behalf.

"Everyone, listen to me. The destruction of many gangs in Taiyuan City this time was actually the result of Governor Liao. Otherwise, who do you think would have the ability to cover it up?"

"Moreover, no matter what crime Ma Renjie committed, it should be handed over to the government and the court to deal with it in accordance with the laws of the Ming Dynasty. It is also illegal for you to use the death penalty."

After Zhu Gui's words, everyone in the courtyard fell silent again, and their faces looked very responsible.

They didn't know Zhu Gui's identity, but the other party held a cannon, so it was impossible to despise the other party's words.

But just then, another sharp voice rang out from the crowd: "Who are you? Is it your turn to speak here? I think you are in the same group as Ma Renjie, and you just want to delay.

Let him escape, right?"
