As soon as he finished speaking, the expressions of the officials and guards changed drastically. They hurriedly wanted to draw their blades.

However, Fang Zhen was already prepared. He smashed down with his iron head staff, killing all the guards beside him in a few hits.

However, the commotion of the fight also alarmed the people downstairs.

Thud, thud, thud

A flurry of footsteps sounded as more soldiers rushed upstairs. They were all guards who had accompanied the magistrate to the banquet, but there were not many to begin with, and they were also scattered around the restaurant for protection.

Because Instructor Hu had led the way just now, Zhou Jing and Fang Zhen did not get into any conflict with them.

"I'll stop them."

Without another word, Fang Zhen ran to guard the stairs. He waved his iron head staff, easily beating the soldiers down.

At the same time, a scream suddenly sounded from downstairs.

Gao Yun, who had specially waited in ambush outside the building, rushed in with his spear, specifically targeting the He and Huang families to attack.

The pincer attack immediately caught the soldiers in the building off guard.

Gao Yun's position was specially arranged by Zhou Jing. There was no need for him to come up to see the official of the Imperial Court, instead he wanted Gao Yun to lie in ambush outside the building and wait for an opportunity to attack. When this place was in chaos, he would block the door and kill everyone to prevent the He and Huang families from escaping.

"It's over" Seeing this, Instructor Hu's heart was filled with bitterness. He understood that he could no longer survive in the Imperial Court.

Even without him, this group of powerful criminals could still attack the Spring Rain restaurant. It was precisely because of this that he had no choice but to cooperate in order to survive.

It would be considered a blessing to not be hanged for bringing a thief to the magistrate in private.

If he did not want to be punished, Instructor Hu knew that other than being an outlaw, he had no other choice. Therefore, he hid at the side and had no intention of interrupting. He only hoped that no one would notice him now.

"Murder! Murder!"

At this moment, panicked cries sounded on the street outside Spring Rain Restaurant. The nearby citizens noticed the change and ran around in panic.

Hearing the commotion downstairs, Magistrate Lin's expression changed.

However, he still held his breath. He did not believe that this group of criminals would dare to do anything to him, an official of the Imperial Court.

"Chen Feng, did you come specially to see me to plead for leniency?"

Magistrate Lin spoke in a deep voice, thinking that he had guessed the other party's thoughts.

Zhou Jing sneered, "Don't flatter yourself. Grandpa isn't here to look for a dog official like you."

With that, he ignored Magistrate Lin's ugly expression and turned to look at the shocked Master He and Master Huang.

"Gentlemen, shall I send you off?"

Hearing this, Old Master He's face suddenly turned red. He stood up and pointed at Zhou Jing angrily,

"You evil being, has my He family ever offended you? What right do you have to harm my He family!"

Zhou Jing looked at him and did not answer.

He only held his spear and walked closer, step by step.

Seeing this, the anger that surged in Old Master He instantly dissipated, leaving only panic and fear. He wanted to escape, but his legs refused to listen to him.

He broke out in cold sweat and shouted in panic,

"D-Don't do anything! I have money. Tell me what you want and I'll definitely do it! Tell me! You must want something. Don't keep quiet. Tell me! I can give you anything!"

His face was twisted and sinister, as if he had lost his mind.

Zhou Jing was indifferent. He raised his hand and grabbed Old Master He's neck, exerting a little force.

Crack!

There was a sharp cracking sound.

Old Master He's head tilted, and he fell silent.

Zhou Jing let go and let him fall to the ground, his face expressionless.

"You can go down to hell and think about it slowly."

At this moment, Master Huang shouted loudly. He suddenly erupted with strength and ran towards the window, wanting to jump out of the window to escape.

However, just as he ran to the window, he suddenly felt a pain in his back and froze.

Old Master Huang lowered his head in a daze. At a glance, he saw a bloody spear tip protruding from his chest.

Pssh!

In the next moment, the spear tip was pulled back and out of his chest.

Master Huang's body swayed and he subconsciously leaned forward. He slowly fell from the window and landed on the street with a bang, dead as he could be.

Only then did Zhou Jing turn to look at Magistrate Lin.

Magistrate Lin's heart raced when he saw him kill two people in a row, but he tried his best to maintain a calm expression.

He still did not believe that Zhou Jing would dare to do anything to him.

Although he was a little flustered, as an official of the Imperial Court, how noble was his status? How could he lose his bearing in front of such a boorish person?

"You dared to kill in front of this official here? How bold."

Magistrate Lin snorted angrily.

Even after hearing this, Zhou Jing did not reply. He just looked straight at him without moving or speaking.

Magistrate Lin felt a chill run down his spine under his strange gaze. He hurriedly slapped the table to hide his panic and shouted out,

"You maniac! Hurry up and confess. On account of you taking the initiative to surrender, I can still give you a lighter sentence."

Zhou Jing ignored him.

He only touched his chin and thought about how to deal with this magistrate.

This magistrate had colluded with a merchant, accepted bribes, provided official protection, protected the crimes of the rich, and worked together to harm the people and merchants. He was naturally not a good person.

However, in the plan he had previously formulated, he really did not have the goal of killing the magistrate today. He did not expect that he would bump into him at the right time.

Zhou Jing frowned slightly. The nature of killing such a high-ranking official of the Imperial Court was different. Although this dog official deserved to die, killing him would also cause greater trouble and would result in him entering the eyes of the government earlier in advance.

Although he was most likely going to make a move based on Apostle #004's violent personality, in addition to putting on a show, he also had to consider the situation when the apostle was placed in. He did not have many days left within his projection time
