Their targets were still the local gentry, merchants, strongmen, and noble clans.
As a result, with all the arrested officials in Jade Peak County purged and no one left to govern, the County Town descended into chaos!
That evening, at 133 Hu Dong Third Lane in the South City district of the County Town, lay Li Lu's home.
At that moment, Zhao the Seventh, along with a few of his men, cautiously knocked on Li Lu's front door and called out in a low voice.
"Lord Li, it's me, Zhao the Seventh! They're gone!"
A moment later, the door creaked open to reveal Li Lu's grave expression.
"Are you sure they're all gone?" Li Lu asked in a low, heavy voice.
Zhao the Seventh nodded. "All gone. My men saw it with their own eyes. They rode out of the north gate and headed north."
Hearing this, Li Lu let out a sigh of relief. He looked at Zhao the Seventh, clapped him on the shoulder, and smiled. "I owe you one. Come on in."
