All officials in Yuhang County were drinking very happily. They thought that this young and promising new county magistrate would be extremely stubborn and difficult to get along with.
But after a banquet, these officials were surprised to find that the new county magistrate was not only very easy to get along with, but also very active in the affairs of the official road.
The officials seemed to see that in the next few years, their little days would be as brilliant as flowers.
Zhu Hongyuan's face was not very good. He kept looking out the window anxiously, worried, as if there was something that needed to be done immediately.
Li Mo looked at him and laughed secretly.
The old fox finally leaked its tail.
The more anxious Zhu Hongyuan was, the less anxious Li Mo was. He pulled the officials, asked questions about their own problems, asked questions about everything, parents, and the others, and they were very happy.
The officials were also very happy that they were so close to the "Supreme Ruler" of "Yuhang County", and this opportunity was not available every day. Therefore, they cherished it very much.
Zhu Hongyuan looked at the darker and thicker night outside the window, like an ant on a hot pan, his fists were tightly clenched, restless.
"Mr. Zhu, what's wrong?" Li Mo held the wine glass and signaled to Zhu Hongyuan.
Zhu Hongyuan had no choice but to drink another full drink.
Li Mo looked at him and his smile became brighter.
It was already late at night and everything was silent. The entire Yuhang County town fell asleep deeply, and only this restaurant was still brightly lit.
Zhu Hongyuan finally couldn't sit still, so he stood up and bowed to Li Mo.
"My county magistrate, the officials are really unable to drink. I hope they can allow the officials to leave early." Zhu Hongyuan apologized.
Li Mo walked forward and grabbed Zhu Hongyuan's arm: "Mr. Zhu is 'unauthentic' like this. Look at you, you are not drunk at all, and you can't say anything more than drinking."
Seeing Li Mo's persuasion, officials around him all agreed.
Zhu Hongyuan, who had already left the seat, was once again forced back to the seat. Zhu Hongyuan smiled bitterly and drank several glasses of bitter wine.
......
......
The night breeze is cool and the streets are empty, which makes people feel a little scary.
Xu Sheng and the old man with no front teeth hid in a tree and carefully monitored a small courtyard.
The courtyard is not big, with four or five houses and a small courtyard. The location of this courtyard is extremely remote, surrounded by a bamboo forest. Within a radius of one mile, there are no other residences except a slum.
It was late at night and just as everyone was immersed in their dreams, the courtyard suddenly became lively.
Countless "warriors" were beating like wandering souls, like zombies with unchanging movements.
An old Taoist priest in a brown Taoist robe, holding a wooden sword in his hand, stood in the center of the courtyard. His hands waved, as if he was directing these "zombie" warriors.
Xu Sheng's face was a little pale. Although he was mentally prepared before the ambush, when he saw these "abnormal" "warriors", he almost screamed in horror.
The old man with no front teeth smiled and patted his shoulder gently, Xu Sheng felt a little relieved.
As time goes by, these zombie warriors become more and more manic, and several zombies even make 'woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-
The old Taoist in brown clothes gradually floated up. He looked at the almost rampant zombies and cursed: "What exactly is Zhu Hongyuan doing? Isn't sending 'sacrificial gifts' here so late?"
Xu Sheng and the old man who lacked the front teeth covered their breath and watched quietly as they were waiting for someone.
The moon sank toward the West, and the night has entered the fourth day.
The grand banquet at Yuhang Restaurant finally dispersed. Many officials bowed to Li Mo, thanking the county magistrate for their kind hospitality today. Li Mo was not humble and bowed back to the gift one by one.
As soon as the banquet ended, Zhu Hongyuan didn't care about any etiquette. He ran away like a wild dog that had been rid of its reins.
Li Mo looked at his back and sneered: Today, why don’t you catch your personal stolen goods?
Speaking a few words to a captain behind him, Li Mo changed into armor, and the five hundred "Fenwu Army" who had already lurked in had gathered secretly, and five hundred soldiers left.
Just as the zombie warriors were about to cross the wall and run wildly, a carriage finally arrived late.
The Taoist in brown clothes breathed a sigh of relief and felt relieved.
A man walked off the carriage, and it was Zhu Hongyuan who was covered in alcohol.
He lifted the curtain of the carriage and took off a bunch of things. On those things, blood was constantly dripping.
Xu Sheng had not seen what was in Zhu Hongyuan's hand clearly. When he saw it clearly, he immediately vomited.
The old man with no front teeth looked at him and patted his back while laughing.
What Zhu Hongyuan took off from the carriage was the corpse of a living person! Judging from the color of the blood, it was probably that he had just been killed.
When the zombie warriors saw the remains of the human body, they instantly became quiet. They walked to the carriage in an orderly manner, took off the remaining limbs, and bit them with relish.
When Xu Sheng saw this, he vomited even more violently.
The old man with no front teeth patted his back and smiled and said, "It's no big deal. When I was young, I saw this "corpse-raising technique" for the first time, and I couldn't vomit. But, I vomited.
I vomited, and I got used to it.”
After the zombie warriors had finished their "dining" and under the command of the brown-clothed Taoist, they silently returned to the room.
The Taoist in brown clothes looked at Zhu Hongyuan and asked, "Why did you come?"
There was a little complaint in his tone.
"The new county magistrate's banquet has not been able to escape, so it was delayed." Zhu Hongyuan apologized.
"Not to be the case!" The brown-clothed Taoist said very coldly, with a hint of unquestionable tone.
Zhu Hongyuan didn't make any excuses, because he knew that even if he made excuses, it would be useless.
After cleaning up the blood from the carriage, Zhu Hongyuan was about to leave.
Suddenly the wind blew, and the neat sound of horse hooves surrounded them from all sides, deafening.
"You are fucking betrayal!" The face of the brown-clothed Taoist instantly became ferocious. He shouted loudly, and a black "ghost hand" poked out with his left hand and pinched Zhu Hongyuan's neck.
"You stay here and take the opportunity to catch Zhu Hongyuan." The old man with no front teeth said a few words to Xu Sheng, and his body suddenly disappeared.
The Ghost Hand was very fast, and in a blink of an eye it reached Zhu Hongyuan's neck. Zhu Hongyuan gave up resisting because even if it resisted, it had no meaning.
He accepted his fate.
Just then, a golden sword shadow flashed, and the black ghost hand was split into two pieces.
The Taoist in brown clothes raised his head and saw an old man with front teeth missing.
The Taoist in brown clothes, who was originally extremely arrogant, suddenly became extremely frightened. His mouth trembled and his words were a little unclear.
Even so, Zhu Hongyuan, who was so close to him, could hear his words clearly.
