Upon returning from the tavern, Shen Qing informed everyone about what he had heard regarding the tiger demon.
When they heard that the government believed the tiger demon had killed the tax officials, everyone secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Now that everyone had tasted the benefits, they were determined to follow behind Shen Qing. The last thing they wanted was for something to happen to him.
With the tiger demon taking the blame for them, the final hidden danger was eliminated.
Everyone who knew that Shen Qing had killed the tax officials was gathered together.
That night, everyone took a solemn oath in front of Shen Qing, swearing that if anyone spoke out of turn, they would be cursed with a son born without an anus, dying a miserable death.

It was another beautiful day.
