The rumbling footsteps were dull and dense, as if a large group of people were approaching at a fast pace.
Zou Chenglong and Fu Minqing, who had just walked out not far away, ran back with panic on their faces. Zou Chenglong shouted to Xu Junlou who was still stunned: "Quickly."
run!"
There was no need to ask why, because Xu Junlou clearly saw no less than a hundred people armed with various weapons rushing towards his position.
These more than a hundred people were all dressed in different styles. They definitely did not look like a uniform army, but rather like a gang of wanderers.
But even so, this is the first time in Xu Junlou's life that he has faced such a scene.
After coming back to his senses, he shouted sharply: "How dare you! This is the Yamen of the capital city. How dare you attack the Yamen with weapons? You will lose your life!?"
Among the crowd, one person shouted: "Brothers, the court is unkind and makes it difficult for our people to survive. If we kill this dog official, we will be doing justice to God!"
As soon as the voice came out, responders immediately gathered.
"Do justice for heaven!"
"Do justice for heaven!"
Xu Junlou's pupils narrowed. He had never experienced anything like this in his nearly thirty years of life, and no one taught him how to deal with such a thing.
But those hundreds of extremely ferocious people had already rushed forward.
Zou Chenglong was very fast. He rushed to Xu Junlou, grabbed him and ran into the Yamen. He said urgently: "These mobs are coming for the Yamen. What are you talking about? Run for your life!"
Xu Junlou glared angrily and said: "As the governor of the capital, how can I escape alone when faced with the mob's attack..."
"you're so dumb!"
Fu Minqing, who was following him, grabbed Xu Junlou's other hand and dragged him running wildly, saying: "You are the governor of the capital when you are alive, but you are nothing when you die!"
At this moment, the government officials who heard the commotion in the yamen also ran out. However, facing the hundreds of mobs that had already rushed forward, they had no ability to resist at all. Amidst the huge noise and impact, they were instantly swallowed up.
After killing more than a dozen government officials, a man in the crowd shouted: "Everyone spread out to find the dog officer, kill him, and then set this place on fire!"
As he spoke, he glanced at the two figures beside him.
One of the figures understood, gritted his teeth, pulled off the mask on his face, and shouted loudly: "I am Lin Huaizhang. My family's assets have been occupied by the government, and my wife and daughter have been abused by the government. Since the world will not let me live,
We will fight with the government!"
This roar spread far away. On the street opposite the Yamen, the people who were fleeing for their lives remembered one name...Lin Huaizhang.
At this moment, the three people in Xu Junlou who were hiding in the water tank in the kitchen heard the name clearly.
"Lin Huaizhang..." Xu Junlou gritted his teeth and muttered silently.
"Do you know him?" Zou Chenglong asked quietly.
Xu Junlou shook his head and said, "I don't know him. This is the first time I heard about it."
Sighing, Zou Chenglong said: "Who would have thought that this group of mobs would dare to attack the Yamen... Or the capital government, aren't they afraid of beheading?"
"Shh!"
Fu Minqing suddenly said: "Stop talking, someone is coming."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a bang and the kitchen door was kicked open.
The three of them hid in a large water tank, not daring to breathe.
