Republic of China: My great warlord, many children, many blessings.

The reason these people participated in the bandit suppression was because they had no money.

Nowadays, having the opportunity to join the army and receiving a large sum of money is quite a good thing.

Immediately, Shen Hao turned his gaze to the security guards of the Tan, Zhang, Huang, and Ren families.

"Now that the county has a security force, you local gentry members who have formed your own security teams can also join in."

You only have one chance, are you willing?

Everyone looked at each other, hesitant and uncertain.

Shen Hao didn't indulge them.

"Since you're unwilling, then so be it. Hang these bandits' corpses at the city gate so the people can see them."

".yes"

Shen Hao then had someone register the list of people joining the security team.

There were a total of 900 people, of whom 300 were opium addicts and were removed by Shen Hao, leaving 600 people.

With the 600 men they left behind in Qinglong Village, the security regiment's mission was considered complete.

The next step is to take a concubine.

These 600 people were all from poor families, and they looked malnourished, pale and thin.

They were all illiterate people.

I had just returned when Governor Liu's telegram arrived.

The meaning is simple: have Shen Hao deliver the opium he paid as soon as possible.

Shen Hao's reply was quite simple.

President Yuan was very pleased to hear of the successful suppression of bandits in E County, but the details have not yet been reported.

However, the Goose City Security Corps has just been established and needs the support of the warlord.

We need 600 guns and 6 rounds of ammunition.

The meaning is quite clear: it's a trade. If you want opium, then you have to give me a gun in return.

If they refuse, then we'll report it to President Yuan.

Yuan Shikai sold opium among the Imperial Guards.

Although Governor Liu is a member of the Tongmenghui (Revolutionary Alliance), he is still nominally under the command of Yuan Shikai.

If Yuan Shikai found out about the opium trade, there would be only one outcome: under the pretext of banning opium, a different person would be appointed as the military governor.

The other members of the Tongmenghui (Revolutionary Alliance) had no complaints; this was a matter of righteousness.

Although Governor Liu was unhappy, he still accepted the deal.

Tell Shen Hao that Brigade Commander Guo, who is stationed at Baili, will personally escort the munitions tomorrow.

Although Governor Liu was a military governor, there was another military governor above him, Hu Hanmin.

He was only a deputy governor.

Moreover, two of his division commanders were not his own people.

Su Shenchu ​​of the Second Division and Long Jiguang of the Third Division were both Yuan Shikai's men, so he didn't dare to be arrogant.

The news that Huang Silang's security team had been wiped out spread throughout Goose City.

Many people applauded and cheered.

However, the Tan and Zhang families sensed that something was wrong.

It was as if Shen Hao knew there were bandits over there.

However, the inside story remains unknown.

Huang Silang was furious.

Countless things were smashed.

However, the Huang family's security forces can be said to have been completely lost.

He doesn't dare to be arrogant now.

Is a tiger without teeth still a tiger?

For a moment, the entire Goose City fell into an eerie silence.

Everyone understood one thing: this county magistrate was not someone to be trifled with.

Dong Xiaoyu arrived in the evening.

Although Shen Hao was tempted by this pesky female ghost, he managed to resist the urge to act.

After all, health is the most important thing.

Next time I'll ask Uncle Jiu if there's any way to solve my health problems.

However, Dong Xiaoyu deserves much credit for taking down the fake Zhang Mazi this time.

Shen Hao rewarded him with a sweet kiss.

This made Dong Xiaoyu so happy she was completely overjoyed.

The next day, news came from Renjia Town.

The patriarch of the Ren family has been murdered.

Upon hearing this news, Shen Hao understood that it must be that Old Master Ren's corpse had finally turned into a zombie.

Moreover, they even killed Master Ren.

Upon hearing that his cousin-in-law had died, Awei rushed back from Goose City.

Looking at his uncle-in-law Ren's corpse, Awei outwardly appeared to be filled with sorrow and compassion.

But inside, he was laughing out loud.

With Master Ren dead, Ren Tingting is now the only one left in the Ren family.

When the time comes, if he marries Ren Tingting, wouldn't the Ren family be his?

With this thought in mind, Awei felt that his uncle's death was a good thing.

At this moment, Uncle Nine also dared to come over.

He looked at the corpse, his expression grave.

Sure enough, he was killed by a zombie.

Uncle Nine understood that if someone was killed by a zombie, they would definitely become a zombie after death.

At this moment, 593, a security guard asked Awei, "Captain, what weapon killed this Master Ren?"

This question hit a nerve with Awei; he knew absolutely nothing about it.

Investigating cases isn't something I'm a professional at.

After thinking for a moment, he said, "Of course he was shot to death."

Uncle Nine, who was standing nearby, asked, "Can every shot hit the neck?"

"The murderer was a martial arts master, skilled in throwing darts, and used the Nine-Linked Golden Darts to kill my uncle."

"Where is the speed demon?"

Seeing Uncle Nine keep asking questions, Ah Wei got angry. Damn it, he doesn't know what's good for him.

"Don't interfere with my investigation. If you think what I said is wrong, then tell me what killed my uncle."

He was killed by someone stabbing him with fingernails.

Ah Wei sneered, looking at the fingernails on Uncle Nine's hand.

Grab it.

"Since the killer died from fingernails, their fingernails must have been very long. Look, yours are the longest among everyone, so you must be the killer."

Uncle Nine was speechless at this idiot. He helped you solve the case, and now you're arresting him.

Don't wrong an innocent person.

"Hmph, you are a prime suspect. Guards, arrest him!"

"It's captain"

Uncle Nine said to Qiu Sheng, "Go quickly and find Magistrate Shen for help."

"Master, is it possible for the county magistrate to come?"

"I don't know if we can come, but we have to try. The situation is urgent, and this Master Ren will turn into a zombie tonight."

If Awei tries to stop her, Ren Tingting will die too.

Upon hearing that the woman he secretly loved was going to die, Qiu Sheng hurriedly said, "Yes, Master, I'll go right away."

64. Does the county magistrate have such a heavy taste?
