When Ninth Uncle arrived at the yamen, the entrance was already packed with people.
They managed to pass through the crowd at the entrance of the yamen with great difficulty and found that there were actually security guards blocking their way.
"Hey, Ninth Uncle, it's you!"
Someone from the security team immediately greeted Ninth Uncle respectfully when he saw him.
As a teacher from the surrounding villages, plus the people from the surrounding villages, they would basically be sent to Ninth Uncle's mortuary. Ninth Uncle was highly respected in Ren Town.
Therefore, the yamen's security team members all knew Ninth Uncle. They stopped the ordinary people who crowded the yamen entrance, but they did not stop Ninth Uncle and his party.
"Thanks."
After thanking him, Ninth Uncle brought Qiu Shengwen into the yamen.
Soon, the three of them passed through the archway of the yamen and arrived at the yamen's court.
He saw that this place was already surrounded by people. They were all the squires from the Ren family town.
However, when he saw Ren Fa, Ren Tingting, and the young man with the surname Lin, he was confused.
Did I guess wrong?
If Old Master Ren had turned into a corpse, he would have come to kill the Ren family members immediately.
But now, Ren Fa and Ren Tingting were safe and sound. Who was the one who died?
Thinking of this, Ninth Uncle looked at the person lying on the stretcher in the middle of the court, covered by a white cloth.
This person had been here since they arrived.
"Ninth Uncle, you're here."
Seeing Ninth Uncle arrive, the surrounding squires and Ren Fa greeted him one after another.
After Ninth Uncle answered them one by one, he asked in confusion,"I heard that there was a murder in the yamen. I wonder what happened? Who died?"
"Sigh."
Ren Fa sighed when he heard Ninth Uncle's question. He came to the center of the court and stood in front of the corpse covered in white cloth. He said worriedly,""The one who died was my distant nephew, Ah Wei. I really don't know how I'm going to explain this to his parents…"
As he spoke, Ren Fa removed the white cloth and showed Ninth Uncle Ah Wei's dead body.
Ninth Uncle's eyes widened when he saw it!
The captain of the security team, whom he had met once when he opened the coffin to pay his respects to Old Master Ren, was now lying on the ground with a pale face. His skin was blue and his eyes were staring straight ahead.
However, the most exaggerated thing was that there were a few thumb-sized bloody holes on both sides of its neck!
Even though scabs had formed around the bloody hole, it still looked extremely ferocious and terrifying.
"Sigh, what a pitiful child."
Seeing Ah Wei's corpse again, Ren Fa sighed again and put down the white cloth.
After Ninth Uncle finished looking at Ah Wei's body, he stood up and went up to Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai behind him. He whispered,"Quickly go back to the mortuary and see if Old Master Ren's corpse is still there! Hurry up and go!"
Initially, he thought that he had made a mistake, but after seeing Ah Wei's corpse, Ninth Uncle was instantly certain.
Ah Wei was killed by a zombie!
And now, the only zombie with such a brutal nature in the surrounding villages was Old Master Ren!
The other corpses in the mortuary were just ordinary corpses.
However, Ninth Uncle had a doubt in his heart.
If it was really Old Master Ren who had turned into a corpse, the first person the other party wanted to kill should be the Ren family's people!
Why would he come to the yamen for no reason to kill a distant relative of Ren Fa?
Just as this thought flashed through his mind, Ninth Uncle seemed to have thought of something. He turned around and looked at the young man named Lin who was sitting beside Ren Fa's daughter!
If there was something strange, the problem must be with this young man!
Ninth Uncle was certain.
"Everyone, Ah Wei is dead, and the position of the security team captain is vacant. We should choose a captain to replace Ah Wei and find out who killed him! May I know who you have in mind?"
a squire suddenly said.
In the current era, there was no longer a magistrate. The selection of the town's security team was decided by the squires.
Ah Wei was chosen this way.
Of course, this was only on the surface.
In fact, if Ren Fa hadn't spent a lot of money on someone with a bad personality like Ah Wei, who would have chosen him to be the captain of the security team?
Of course, the squires present were not here to care about Ah Wei, but to re-elect the captain of the security team.
Other than Ren Tingting, who was a little sad about the death of her distant cousin, Ren Fa didn't take it to heart.
This was how chaotic times were. Human lives were worthless.
……
In the yamen court, a group of squires began to argue about the selection of a new security team captain.
Lin Kong and Ren Tingting sat at the edge of the group of squires. Ren Tingting leaned against Lin Kong and sobbed softly,""Lin Kong, I should treat Cousin better.”
Lin Kong didn't say anything. He just watched the dispute in the court and felt a little dispirited.
Suddenly, he noticed something and a smile appeared on his face again.
"Mr. Lin, can we talk in private?”
Ninth Uncle walked up to Lin Kong and said.
Ren Tingting, who was sobbing softly, couldn't help but be stunned. She had just become a woman, and she was a little clingy to Lin Kong. Seeing that Ninth Uncle had come to look for Lin Kong, she didn't want to separate.
However, Lin Kong didn't care about her secret tugging at him. He smiled and nodded,""Alright."
With that, Lin Kong stood up and followed Ninth Uncle to the back hall behind the court.
During the Qing Dynasty, the back hall of the court used to be the residence of the magistrate, but now that there was no magistrate, the back hall was abandoned.
After the two of them arrived at the back hall, Ninth Uncle suddenly turned to face Lin Kong and bowed with a solemn expression.""Mao Mountain disciple Lin Jiu, may I ask which sect you belong to?”
