Chen Wan was very afraid that she was deceiving him, but when his gaze swept over the soldiers behind her, he silently left with Qiu Wu.
As soon as he left, Zhao Hanzhang instructed people to throw aside the confiscated weapons, then said to the commoners waiting to be apprehended, "I know you fear County Magistrate Sun's retaliation, and I am also afraid that with him around, I won't be able to fulfill my promises to you. So, I ask for your support."
Someone immediately asked, "Do you want us to rush in and kill County Magistrate Sun?"
"But you've taken our knives and sticks. If we rush in, wouldn't we be sent to our deaths?"
Zhao Hanzhang raised her hand to quiet them, "Keep your voices down. The walls of the county government are not far from here, and if you shout any louder, someone will hear."
Only then did everyone quiet down.
