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

Echeng County Government Office.

Brigade Commander Guo, who was stationed nearby, has arrived.

He brought a cavalry company and the weapons that Shen Hao wanted.

After inspecting the weapons and the opium, both sides were satisfied.

"Governor Shen, you dare to snatch food from your superiors, you're really something," Brigade Commander Guo said sarcastically.

Shen Hao smiled and said, "Of course, we must thank Governor Liu for his support of our county."

The president said that a security regiment should be established in every county.

Governor Liu is also supporting the country.

Brigade Commander Guo snorted coldly and ignored him.

He cracked his whip and said, "Go!"

"Yes"

Watching Commander Guo's departing figure, Shen Hao smiled.

Just wait and see.

After receiving the weapons, Shen Hao distributed them.

Now the entire security team is quite powerful.

There were 600 people in total, all of whom were from our own family; the Huang, Tan, Zhang, and Ren families were not involved.

With guns in hand, these people have become much more assertive.

Six hundred people were controlled by Shen Hao's twenty bodyguards.

It was divided into twenty rows.

Almost everyone controls thirty people.

Shen Hao ordered his men to begin patrolling the streets with guns.

Anyone caught stealing or robbing will be arrested.

With official positions, these laborers became bolder.

He walks with an imposing and majestic air.

In an instant, the atmosphere of the entire Goose City changed.

The public security situation has improved considerably.

Next, Shen Hao discussed how to deal with Huang Silang and the major families.

Just then, Qiu Sheng arrived at the yamen in a flurry of activity on his bicycle.

"Magistrate, save me!"

Shen Hao asked in confusion, "Oh, what's the rush?"

"Your Excellency, this is what happened: Master Ren was murdered."

My master was wrongly arrested.

It's that old master Ren's cousin who's been arrested. My master begs you to intervene.

"Save him, or it's all over, Master Ren will turn into a zombie!"

Upon hearing this, Shen Hao's heart skipped a beat. Was Master Ren dead?

Did Old Master Ren turn into a zombie?

Thinking of this, Shen Hao said, "Alright, let's go see what zombies look like."

Qiu Sheng's face lit up with joy. With the county magistrate's intervention, those little brats like Awei wouldn't be able to cause any trouble.

Of course, Shen Hao had another purpose for going there this time: to seize the Ren family's troops.

Qiusheng led the way on his bicycle.

Shen Hao and his entourage rode on horseback, followed by 200 men.

As we traveled along, yellow dust filled the sky.

There were no cement roads back then.

As evening approached, Shen Hao and the others finally arrived.

As soon as Awei saw Shen Hao, he immediately ran over to him excitedly.

He saluted and said, "Greetings, Your Excellency."

Shen Hao said, "I heard you arrested Uncle Jiu?"

Awei hurriedly explained, "Sir, I suspect he's the murderer who killed my uncle."

"Where's the evidence?" Shen Hao asked.

"My aunt's husband was killed by someone stabbing him with fingernails; his fingernails were quite long."

Shen Hao said, "Men, release Uncle Jiu and let him kill Awei with his fingernails. If he can kill him, then he's the murderer; if he can't, then he's been framed."

Qiu Sheng replied excitedly, "Yes, County Magistrate!"

Awei immediately chickened out.

With a pleading look, he said, "No, sir, I was wrong, I was confused, I'll put it in, okay?"

After saying that, Awei hurriedly went to release Uncle Jiu.

After Ah Wei left, Shen Hao looked at Master Ren's corpse. Sure enough, his face wasn't pale, but purplish-black, clearly about to turn into a zombie.

Shen Hao glanced at Ren Tingting, who was crying her eyes out beside him, and immediately comforted her, "Miss Ren, the dead cannot be brought back to life, don't be too sad."

Ren Tingting looked at Shen Hao, as if she had found her pillar of support, and threw herself into Shen Hao's arms, crying even louder.

"My father is dead, and I'm all alone now. What am I going to do?"

Shen Hao patted Ren Tingting on the back and reassured her, "Don't worry, I'm here for you."

I will always protect you.

Ren Tingting sobbed, her beautiful eyes filled with tears, staring blankly at Shen Hao.

"Sir, you wouldn't be lying to me, would you?"

Shen Hao shook his head and said, "Of course not. Why would I lie to someone as beautiful as you? How about you come with me from now on? I'll take care of you."

A hint of shyness flashed in Ren Tingting's beautiful eyes as she looked at Shen Hao and nodded.

She had previously had feelings for Shen Hao, but now she felt incredibly panicked. As a girl, she had no backbone and was filled with fear for the future.

Shen Hao's appearance at this moment was perfectly timed, giving Ren Tingting a sense of security.

Shen Hao was the most handsome and outstanding man Ren Tingting had ever seen, and she had long admired him.

Shen Hao's initiative today has made me very happy.

So Ren Tingting agreed without much thought.

Although it might seem like taking advantage of someone's misfortune, Shen Hao didn't care.

As for women, just coax them and they'll be fine.

It seemed that the secret had been revealed. Ren Tingting, now held in Shen Hao's arms, was no longer restrained and instead clung tightly to him.

They were as if they were afraid Shen Hao would leave.

At this moment, Uncle Nine, Qiu Sheng, Wen Cai, and A Wei all arrived.

All three were heartbroken.

Ren Tingting is so beautiful and has studied abroad; to them, she's like a fairy.

But this beautiful woman was actually being held in Shen Hao's arms.

The key point is that it was Ren Tingting who took the initiative to hug Shen Hao, and her expression showed pure enjoyment.

Damn it, can't you be a little more reserved?

Qiu Sheng, Wen Cai, and A Wei looked utterly dejected, like eggplants wilted by frost.

Uncle Jiu clasped his hands in a fist and said, "Thank you so much for your help, Lord Shen."

Shen Hao said, "Uncle Jiu, you're too kind. You run a mortuary and deal with corpses all day long. How could you kill someone for no reason? It doesn't make sense."

Besides, as a Taoist priest, you have no connection with Master Ren, so it's definitely not you who killed him.”

Uncle Nine said with a grateful expression, "Lord Shen's judgment is extremely accurate."

Immediately, Uncle Nine saw a wisp of Yin energy gathering on Shen Hao's forehead. Although it had faded somewhat, it was still there.

He couldn't help but ask, "Lord Shen, have you been to any remote areas recently?"

Shen Hao's heart skipped a beat, realizing that this Uncle Jiu (Wang Nuo Zhao) must know about his encounter with the ghost.

"Oh, what's wrong, Uncle Nine?"

"Judging from Lord Shen, there is an lingering, yin aura around him; there must be something unclean about him."
