After sending the female ghost's family to the gates of hell, Zhang Yuan walked out of the room.
"Master Fahai, have the ghosts been subdued?”Tan Baiwan asked.
"I've already subdued the ghosts, but your house is built on their graveyard. You need to move their graves away, or they'll come looking for you again.”Zhang Yuan said.
"I'll definitely move them out.”Tan Baiwan nodded.
"Then this poor monk will take his leave." Zhang Yuan didn't plan to stay here for long. He wasn't worried that Tan Baiwan would move the female ghost's family away after he left.
It was already late. Zhang Yuan did not rush back overnight. Instead, he stayed at the inn in the town for the night and only returned to Ren Family Town the next morning.
When they entered Ren Town, Zhang Yuan felt that the atmosphere was a little off. He asked a random person and found out that a gang of horse thieves had appeared nearby and had already killed several villagers.
The security team did not have enough manpower. Qiu Sheng had already started recruiting people in the town to deal with the Horse Gang.
"Looks like it should be Granny Wang and her group.”Zhang Yuan thought to himself," I met Maoshan Ming in Tan Baiwan's house, and now there's a gang of bandits. They should be the ones in the original novel."
Therefore, Zhang Yuan did not go home. Instead, he went straight to the mortuary.
"Master Fahai, you're back. I sent someone to look for you, but you weren't at home.”Qiu Sheng was delighted to see Zhang Yuan.
This gang of mounted gangsters was fierce and there were many of them. Ninth Uncle could not take care of them alone, and Four Eyes and Ikyo had already returned a few days ago.
"I just came back and heard about the Horse Gang. Can you tell me the specific situation?”Zhang Yuan asked.
"This gang of mounted gangsters has only recently arrived in this area. They have already massacred several villages. Their next target is likely to be us. It is said that they are all extremely strong and impenetrable.”Qiu Sheng said.
"How many people have you recruited?”Zhang Yuan asked.
"There are already close to a hundred people. Master said that we should set up a trap and catch a turtle in a jar.”Qiu Sheng said.
"Yes." Zhang Yuan nodded.
Time passed quickly, and night fell. Uncle Nine, Zhang Yuan, and the others gathered in an inn after dinner. Qiu Sheng had sent people to inquire about the Horse Gang's movements.
In order not to be noticed by the Horse Gang, the lights in the inn were not even lit.
"Master, the sky is already dark. The bandits should be coming soon, right?”Qiu Sheng whispered.
"How would I know? Even if their next target is us, they don't have to come tonight.”Ninth Uncle said unhappily.
At this moment, Ninth Uncle heard some movement outside the inn and immediately ordered everyone to quiet down.
Qiu Sheng had already informed everyone that they were not allowed to go out tonight because they had to deal with the Horse Gang. The man outside might be a spy sent by the Horse Gang.
"Creak!"
The door of the inn was opened and a figure walked in. Everyone immediately surrounded the person. Qiu Sheng strangled the person from behind.
"He must not be a good person to come into the town at this late hour. Tell me, if he doesn't say it, it means yes. Is he from the Horse Gang? Tell me, if he doesn't say it, it means yes.”Qiu Sheng answered his own question. The person was strangled by Qiu Sheng and could not speak at all.
"If you continue to strangle him, he will die.”Ninth Uncle glared at Qiusheng.
"Oh."
Qiu Sheng let go of his hand when he heard that. However, the two people beside him immediately detained the person.
"Fellow Daoist, why didn't you come earlier or later, but at this time?”Ninth Uncle knew that he was also a Taoist priest from Mao Mountain, so he addressed him as fellow Daoist.
"Amitabha. This penniless monk has seen this person in Tan Baiwan's house. He's not from the Horse Gang.”At this moment, Zhang Yuan walked out and said.
It was none other than Mao Shanming.
"Master, so it's you." Mao Shanming heaved a sigh of relief when he saw Zhang Yuan. He knew that his life was saved. He had been really frightened just now.
"Since he's not from the Horse Gang, then let him go.”Qiu Sheng let go of the two men who were holding Mao Shanming.
"What exactly happened?" Mao Shanming asked in confusion. He had only wanted to stay in the inn and had almost lost his life.
"We received news that a gang of horse thieves is preparing to rob the village.”Qiu Sheng said.
"Coming, coming."
At this moment, the person Qiu Sheng sent out to scout for information returned.
"Captain, the bandits have just crossed the river and the mountains. They are about to enter the forest.”
"Are you ready?" Ninth Uncle asked.
"Everything has been arranged." Qiu Sheng said.
"Let's go!"
They came to the forest outside the town and laid in ambush on both sides of the road. Before that, Qiu Sheng and his men had set up many traps on the road.
After a while, the sound of horse hooves could be heard.
"Stomp!"
"Stomp!"
The sound of horse hooves approached from afar. The people lying in ambush on both sides became nervous and gripped their weapons tightly. Because the security team did not have that many guns, many people prepared their own weapons. They had kitchen knives, hoes, sticks, and all kinds of weapons.
"One, two…"
Zhang Yuan silently counted the number of mounted gangsters in his mind. There were seven of them.
Ninth Uncle saw the Horse Gang approaching and raised his hand slightly. When the Horse Gang entered the ambush, Ninth Uncle waved his hand and shouted,""Pull the rope!"
There was a row of wooden fences in the middle of the road. The top of the fence had been sharpened. If one bumped into it, they would probably be pierced through.
" Ambush! Retreat!"
The leader of the Horse Gang pulled the reins in time and shouted to retreat. All of them immediately turned their horses around and ran in the back direction.
However, the fence that was set up behind the horse bandits was pulled up after they entered the trap.
"Kill!"
Qiu Sheng shouted, and the men lying in ambush on both sides immediately rushed out. Eight or nine men surrounded one horse, trying to knock the mounted bandit off his horse with the sticks in their hands.
Seeing that they couldn't run away, the mounted gangsters pulled out their weapons one by one and slashed at the people around them.
They were extremely strong, and most of them used axes that were very lethal. The people they touched were either dead or injured, and the people around them were so scared that they retreated a lot.
One of them took out two ball-shaped things from his body and squeezed them into poison powder. He scattered it on the people around him. Those who were hit by the poison powder were in extreme pain.
"Retreat!" When Ninth Uncle saw this, he shouted. The people who were about to go forward retreated a little.
Ninth Uncle used the torch in his hand to ignite the kerosene that had been arranged on the ground previously. A raging fire immediately lit up and surrounded the Horse Gang.
