When they heard that the government thought 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 Shen Qing closely; the last thing they wanted was for something to happen to him.
Now that the tiger demon had taken responsibility for them, the final hidden trouble was eliminated.
Those who knew Shen Qing had killed the tax officials were all together.
That evening, everyone made a solemn vow in front of Shen Qing, stating that whoever spread rumors outside would not have a good end.
