The horse thief's body was stored in the lobby of the yamen, and two security team members were guarding it. A statue of Huang Daogong was enshrined in the hall to suppress the horse thief's resentful soul.
At the signal of Master Ren, the security team members lifted the white cloth covering the horse thieves, revealing their terrifying and ferocious faces underneath.
The county magistrate felt nervous when he saw this, but he forced himself to remain calm and called over his confidant to take out the camera he had brought with him to take a photo of him with the horse thief's corpse.
Seeing how thoroughly prepared the county magistrate was, Mr. Ren and the others couldn't help but secretly admire him. They thought that anyone who could hold the position of county magistrate must have some ability.

Accompanied by a flash of strong light and thick smoke, a photo of the Republic of China era was taken. All that was left was to wait for the photo to be developed.
“It’s time to eat!!”
Following a burst of shouting outside, Master Ren hurriedly invited the county magistrate to sit down, and all the other entourage and confidants also made arrangements.
In addition to the county magistrate, Mr. Ren and others, their table also included Uncle Jiu, Awei and other backbones in the fight against the horse bandits.
Wencai and Qiu Sheng originally sat at the same table, but when the county magistrate arrived, they were immediately squeezed to a nearby table.
As the protagonist, Mr. Ren quickly introduced Uncle Jiu and others to the county magistrate.
When the county magistrate heard that Uncle Jiu and his men were the greatest contributors to the fight against horse bandits, he immediately took a photo with Uncle Jiu and his men as proof.
Uncle Jiu was dazzled by the strong light and felt a little dizzy.
Fortunately, Renjia Town is prosperous and there is a photo studio in the town, otherwise he would have thought that he (Qian Qian Zhao) had been possessed.
When the banquet started, the county magistrate gave a speech surrounded by Mr. Ren and others, praising the bravery and fearlessness of the militiamen in Renjia Town and the death penalty for the horse thieves.
After the show, everyone started to sit down and eat.
At the table, the county magistrate inquired with great interest about the details of Renjia Town's campaign against horse thieves.
Uncle Jiu was very honest and told the whole story of how Huang Daogong appeared in his dream and sent down thunder and lightning to kill the leader of the horse bandits.
"Huang Daogong!?"
The county magistrate was stunned. He didn't expect Uncle Jiu to describe the bandit suppression in such a fantastic way.
He was very displeased and said, "A gentleman does not speak of strange things. What era is it now? Why are you still so superstitious? How can you attribute the credit for annihilating the bandits to a fictitious god? This is superstition and is absolutely unacceptable."
During the Republic of China period, atheism emerged throughout the country.
Most knowledgeable people believe that there is no such thing as a bullshit tiger god in the world.
This is nothing but a heresy born out of the ignorant customs of ancient times.
Upon hearing this, Mr. Ren and others looked at each other in confusion. We know better than you whether Huang Daogong is a figment of the imagination or not.
"Ahem, let's not talk about that. Let's not talk about that. Actually, today we in Renjia Town have three good things going for us. The first good thing is that we completely wiped out the bandits and defended the town. The second good thing is that the county magistrate came to inspect us, which brought honor to our Renjia Town. These three good things..."
Master Ren skillfully changed the subject, and with a smile, he cupped his fists and congratulated Uncle Jiu. "Uncle Jiu, today is your birthday. On this auspicious occasion, I wish you happiness as vast as the East Sea and a life as long as the Southern Mountains."
The county magistrate's attention was indeed diverted. He put what had just happened behind him and wished Uncle Jiu a happy birthday with a smile on his face.
The other gentry followed closely behind.
Uncle Jiu was flattered and thanked him repeatedly.
Being celebrated on his birthday by the head of a county, he can brag about it in the future.
Chapter 90: The rat in the gutter, the horse thief returns, and the soul-suppressing general strikes
on the square!
The place was bustling with people, and the sounds of people playing rock-paper-scissors and drinking games were heard one after another, making it very lively.
At this moment, a thin, suspicious figure wearing a cloak suddenly appeared at the gate of the yamen.
The mysterious man came to the gate of the yamen, shook his body, and immediately shook out two centipedes. The two centipedes stretched their bodies, quickly drilled into the darkness, and went straight into the yamen.
Boom!Boom!
Not long after, two sounds of heavy objects falling were heard in the yamen.
The mysterious man glanced at the lively and cheerful crowd in the square, sneered, and stepped into the government office.
The people eating at the banquet didn't notice anything at all.
The lights in the yamen were on, and two security team members who were responsible for guarding the horse thief's body fell to the ground in front of the lobby.
If his chest hadn't been still rising and falling, I would have thought he was dead.
The mysterious man casually glanced at the two security guards, squatted down and stretched out a skinny hand. The two centipedes that had just slipped out immediately crawled back and drilled back into his sleeves along his palm.
The mysterious man stood up and walked to the horse thief's corpse, lifted the hood of his cloak, revealing a haggard face. It was the Yin-Yang master who had been hiding in the mass grave and remotely controlling Old Master Ren that day.
He looked at the hall filled with the corpses of local bandits, squatted down and untied the white cloths one by one. Seeing the bandits' eyes wide open after death, he was furious and cursed, "You bunch of idiots, the ancestor asked you to come here to get the coffin fungus, but you killed people and set fire to them, and flaunted yourself in the streets. When you arrived in Renjia Town, you didn't contact me, so I came to kill you directly. You deserve to die without a burial place."
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. He really wanted to pull these idiots up and give them a couple more slaps.
The last time he remotely controlled Old Master Ren to attack the Ren family, he failed. He wanted to use the name of coffin fungus to let the ancestor send a group of helpers to take revenge. However, he did not expect that these idiots were ambushed and wiped out before they even set foot in the territory of Renjia Town.
Mr. Yin Yang's face was gloomy and he took a deep breath. Now that things had come to this, it would be useless for him to complain any more.
He stared at the corpses of the horse thieves and saw that their necks were tied with ink ropes, and immediately understood the purpose.
He listened to the bustling sounds outside and muttered to himself, "I can use you guys as a waste."
He smiled grimly, stepped forward to help the horse thieves untie the ink ropes around their necks, and at the same time took out a palm-sized pottery jar from his sleeve, which emitted a foul odor.
He shook it and poured a drop of sticky, black and smelly liquid onto the top of the horse thief's head.
"Corpse oil attracts ghosts, and the evil spirits return!!"
He muttered something, and as the spell fell, the body of the horse thief, which was dripped with corpse oil, suddenly trembled, as if something was about to break out from the body.
The Yin-Yang master used the same trick again and dripped corpse oil on each of the horse thieves' corpses, awakening all of the horse thieves' resentful souls and 887 evil spirits.
boom! boom! !
In the lobby, the horse thief's body was shaking like a zombie, and the scene was eerie and terrifying.
When Mr. Yin Yang saw this, he laughed strangely, put on his cloak, and quickly left this place of trouble.
He had to go back and send a letter to his ancestor to report the situation here.
Mr. Yin Yang didn't know that all his actions were seen clearly by Zodiac who was sitting in the Zodiac Temple in the main god space.
Mr. Yin and Yang has been hiding in the mass grave for many years when earth-shaking changes have taken place.
His information still stopped at the time when Master Ren welcomed Huang Daogong home to worship him.
However, they never expected that the belief in Huang Daogong had already spread throughout the town, and even the government office also enshrined a statue of Huang Daogong.
The entire Renjia Town has long been under the control of Huang Daogong.
The Yin-Yang master sneaked into the government office to release the resentful souls of the horse thieves, just like breaking into a house under surveillance.
It has already been exposed.
Huang Dao looked at the Yin-Yang Master who was hurriedly leaving his palm, and then glanced at the horse thieves who were full of resentment and might come back to take his life at any time.
“I never thought there was such a rat hiding in the gutter in Renjia Town!!”
He frowned slightly and immediately called Taoist Qianhe over.
"My Lord, what instructions do you have for me?"
Taoist Qianhe came quickly and bowed respectfully.
Huang Dao didn't waste any words and went straight to the point, "The horse thieves in this town are about to return as evil spirits to take our lives. You must lead your ghost messengers there immediately and apprehend these thieves. If they resist, you will execute them on the spot."
"Yes, my lord!"
Taoist Qianhe was startled and did not dare to delay. He bowed and accepted the order, then hurriedly led a group of ghost messengers to the yamen.
……
In Yamen Square!
"Everyone, eat your food, eat your food!"
"These bandits from western Hunan have been wreaking havoc for so long, but I never thought they would be so badly beaten and completely annihilated in Renjia Town."
"It is thanks to the wise leadership of the county magistrate that we were able to annihilate the horse bandits so smoothly."
At the banquet, everyone talked about everything under the sun.
Roar! !
Just when everyone was enjoying the wine, a shrill howl suddenly broke the lively atmosphere, startling everyone so much that they almost jumped up.
"What happened!?"
Everyone was shocked and puzzled.
Qiu Sheng came over and said in surprise: "Master, the howling sounds seem to be coming from the yamen!!" As his cultivation level improved, his six senses also greatly improved. The moment the howling sounded, he recognized that it came from the yamen not far away.
yamen!?
Uncle Jiu frowned. The bodies of the horse thieves were placed in the yamen. Given their experiences and resentments in their lives, if someone untied the ink ropes around their necks.
They might come back to life right then and there and come out to take our lives.
The county magistrate said with a serious face, "Don't panic, everyone. It's probably just a wild animal from the mountains coming down to look for food and accidentally stumbled into the town."
"The county magistrate is right. Everyone calm down."
As the person in charge, Mr. Ren also stood up to calm everyone's uneasy emotions.
"Beast!?"
Ah Wei's spirits lifted, knowing his chance to shine had arrived. He immediately stood up, drew his pistol, and declared with a heroic tone, "I want to see what kind of demon dares to interrupt our meal."
He waved his hand and said, "Brothers, someone is not letting us eat in peace. Bring your weapons and see which bastard is causing trouble."
Click!Click!
The members of the security team had just drunk some wine, and their faces were as red as steamed crabs. They immediately picked up their guns and staggered as they prepared to follow Awei to the yamen to find out what was going on.
"Captain, I'll go with you to take a look!"
Uncle Jiu was worried and had to check the safety of the horse thief's body.
"Alright, let's go together and see what blind beast dares to interrupt our drinking!"
Looking at Uncle Jiu's solemn expression, Captain Awei felt a chill in his heart, fearing that he might run into something strange.
He felt at ease only with Uncle Jiu accompanying him.
"Master, Senior Brother, wait for me!!"
Seeing this, Wencai quickly put down his bowl and chopsticks and followed.
"County Magistrate, I'm very sorry. Please wait here for a moment. We'll go over and take a look and be back soon."
As the victims, Mr. Ren and others certainly could not escape.
Moreover, there is a security team protecting him, and there are Uncle Jiu and his two disciples. There is also a statue of Huang Daogong in the yamen.
Whether the attacker is a human, a ghost or a beast, you will be safe.
Hoho! !
Before they got close, ghostly howls and wolves' screams could be heard from the yamen, and resentment was overwhelming.
"Um!?"
Uncle Jiu's expression was shocked, the horse thief had really come back to life.
How can this be! ?
The horse thieves had their necks locked with ink ropes, and their resentful souls could not escape. Logically, there was no chance for them to come back to life.
Unless someone unties the ink rope and releases the vengeful spirit of the horse thief.
Uncle Jiu looked solemn. There were many doubts in this matter, and there must be something fishy going on.
Roar! !
The howling in the yamen became sharper and angrier, as if someone was yelling at the top of his lungs.
"Uncle Jiu, what's going on?!"
Master Ren and others were shocked and confused.
