I become a god in another world

Chapter 117 Every Five Years

Chapter 117

"To be precise, these two ghosts are temporarily under my control."

As soon as Zhao Fusheng finished speaking, Zheng He's breath, which had not completely relaxed, was suddenly blocked in his throat. He was dumbfounded and stared at Zhao Fusheng as if he had seen a ghost.

"What, you don't believe it?" Zhao Fusheng asked him.

He didn't believe it in his heart, and there was doubt in his eyes, but his body was honest and he nodded:

"I believe."

"Do you want me to release it for you to see?"

Zhao Fusheng asked with a smile.

"do not want!"

Before Zheng He could speak, Xu Yachen, Liu Rong and others loudly refused.

Several people thought of the oppressive feeling when the ghost appeared before, and they felt frightened. At this time, the lingering fear was still lingering, and they dared not look at the ghost again.

Zheng He's eyes flashed and he shook his head:

"I dare not look at it. I will naturally believe you, sir."

Seeing the fear on everyone's faces, Zhao Fusheng could only sigh with regret:

"Okay, let's see it next time."

"..." Zheng He didn't want to have such an opportunity.

Then Xu Yachen stepped forward with broken steps:

"Your Excellency is truly an extraordinary god. He is the savior of my Baozhi County. He saved more than 130 members of my Xu family——"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Fusheng's thoughts moved.

You must know that Liu Huacheng, who was once a wealthy family in Wan'an County, and his family, including their servants, only had a population of more than 100. Liu Huacheng was extremely wealthy.

There are actually more than a hundred people in Xu Yachen's family, which shows that the old man named Xu is wealthy.

He is also generous with his money. Since Zhao Fusheng came to Baozhi County yesterday, he has donated fifteen thousand taels of gold. This money has been a timely help to the impoverished Wan'an County.

If the Xu family can be relocated, it will bring a lot of benefits to Wan'an County in the future.

She was greedy, put down the tea cup and said:

"I have indeed been very kind to your Xu family, and now I have an opportunity to repay you."

Zhao Fusheng said:

"Our Wan'an County is now vast and sparsely populated. It's a time when we need people. Your Xu family has many descendants and a lot of property. Have you ever considered relocating the Xu family to Wan'an County?"

This was not the first time Zhao Fusheng mentioned this matter, but Xu Yachen could tell that when she brought it up again, her tone was completely different from before, a little more serious and threatening.

"..."

Zheng He stood silently aside, facing Zhao Fusheng poaching him, but he didn't show any abnormality at all.

There are many wealthy families in Baozhi County. Even if Xu Yachen is gone, there are still countless gentry and wealthy people who can support him.

What's more, in his situation, Li Gui may wake up at any time, and he cares more about his life than money.

During his time in Baozhi County, he had already saved enough money and no longer valued money that much.

Xu Yachen can leave as soon as he wants, he will not stay at all.

"I'm the first to say the ugly things."

Zhao Fusheng was holding the tea cup and holding the tea lid with one hand. When the cup lid touched the cup body, it made a crisp sound:

"Now that Wan'an County is short of people, I personally invited them. Once we pass this village, there will be no such store."

She said calmly:

"You have witnessed the ghost case tonight with your own eyes. I am in charge of Wan'an County. As long as I don't die, I can't guarantee that you will live long, but at least you won't suffer from ghost disasters."

"move!"

Unexpectedly, Xu Yachen did not hesitate for a long time. He seemed to have made up his mind and nodded:

"It's just that my family has a lot of property. If we want to relocate, it won't be a day's work. It needs to be dealt with. I hope you will tolerate it."

Zhao Fusheng took a deep look at the old man.

Others are mature and do not want to offend themselves. They should still be evaluating the current situation in Wan'an County.

The Xu family does have a large population, so it is reasonable for him not to bet all the risks on himself.

However, she did not push too hard. Once Xu Yachen expressed his stance, several other gentry tribesmen came forward to talk to Zhao Fusheng.

Everyone in the room pledged to donate money.

After this ghost case, Zheng He's popularity and prestige were completely suppressed by Zhao Fusheng.

When Zhao Fusheng pressed Xu Yachen to express his position, several of them really began to think about moving to Wan'an County.

Although Wan'an County is now a place of exile from the imperial court.

But the Zhao Fusheng in front of him was a strong man who had just solved a disaster-level ghost disaster! There are only a few people in the imperial court who can deal with disaster-level ghost disasters, and those who can handle such a big case all give priority to protecting the emperor.

If Zhao Fusheng can really stay in Wan'an County for a long time, with her in charge, maybe he can be safe for a while.

……

When they thought of this, several people couldn't sit still and asked quickly:

"Your Excellency, it was not recorded in the Book of Souls and Fate?"

"If you are not in the soul book, how long can you stay in Wan'an County in the future?"

"My family has a big business, and once we move, it will be very difficult. If you leave soon, we will--"

"Ghost cases are happening frequently in Wan'an County now, and the county government office has only one commander who can handle the cases. Although your Excellency is powerful, he is not three-headed and six-armed after all——"

Although these speakers raised many questions, Zhao Fusheng could see that compared to Xu Yachen, these people were truly moved by his proposal.

In other words, these people may be her people in the future.

She glanced at Fan Bisheng, who immediately stepped forward with a smile, silently led a few people away, and chatted with them, allowing Zhao Fusheng to have some peace of mind.

"grown ups……"

Seeing Zhao Fusheng's silence, Liu Rong hurriedly stepped forward.

At first, he strongly opposed Zhao Fusheng's requisition of Ding'an Building to handle the case. He was originally worried that everyone would die in the building and the ancient building would be stained with blood, but he did not expect that no one would die in this major case.

Zhao Fusheng not only sealed the ghosts, but also ensured the safety of everyone, and the Ding'an Building was not damaged.

Apart from Zheng He, who was relieved about this ghost case, he was the happiest person.

As soon as he spoke, Zhao Fusheng put down the tea cup with a serious look on his face:

"You came just in time, I happen to have something to tell you."

Upon hearing Zhao Fusheng's words, Liu Rong's face froze:

"Sir, please speak."

"The room I stayed in upstairs—"

Zhao Fusheng originally wanted Liu Rong to seal off a house, but then he thought about it and changed his mind:

"The entire floor where I lived has been sealed. No one is allowed to enter."

It was about the murder of a fierce ghost, and her face was extremely serious:

"No one is allowed, especially Zheng He!"

Zheng He initially listened to her instructions to Liu Rong and thought she had something important to do, but in the end Zhao Fusheng just refused to allow anyone to enter her house.

Most ghost controllers have quirks, so it makes sense that the place where she lived does not allow others to get involved.

It was just a small matter, Zheng He didn't take it to heart:

"Don't worry, sir. I will never touch the things you have used or the house you have lived in -"

"That's not the reason." Zhao Fusheng shook his head and took a deep look at Zheng He:

"If you want to save your life, seal that floor."

"W-what?"

When Zheng He heard that his life was involved, the smile on his face dropped and he became anxious. Just as he was about to ask again, Zhao Fusheng had already stretched out:

"Where is the celebration banquet you are hosting for me tonight?"

Most of the outer room of Ding'an Building has been demolished due to trapping evil spirits, and it looks messy.

Xu Yachen and others who were temporarily pulled over to act as bait did not leave. It was obvious that Ding'an Building was no longer suitable for a banquet.

Liu Rong perked up and stepped forward to reply:

"On the Amusement Park."

"Youyuanfang?" Zhao Fusheng turned to look at him. Liu Rong hugged his round belly with one hand and smiled like a Maitreya Buddha:

"Yes, my lord."

"Youyuanfang is the largest painting studio on the Shangjia River in Baozhi County. The boat can accommodate dozens of people."

He said flatteringly:

"Everything is available up there. When the master was washing up after finishing the ghost case, Master Zheng had already ordered someone to invite the people from the Hongquan Theater Troupe to prepare."

"River fish are being caught on the boat and will be braised over a large fire. They will be fresh, tender and salty. The late emperor even praised them when he tasted them."

When he talked about the arrangements for tonight, his whole body disappeared from the fear he had when he encountered ghosts before.

Zhao Fusheng nodded.

"My lord, please come here. There is a path behind the garden that leads directly to the river. You can get on the boat first and listen to the little tune. You will be able to eat fish soon."

Zhao Fusheng responded and turned back to look at Zheng He.

I saw that the magistrate of Baozhi County was absent-minded at this time. He raised his head and looked upstairs from time to time, looking thoughtful.

He sensed an ominous premonition from Zhao Fusheng's warning.

The vigilance he had felt earlier made him realize that something terrible might have happened upstairs, which might very well be detrimental to him.

Then he thought about the moment when he heard the noise and went upstairs to knock on the door, Zhao Fusheng had yelled at him - at that time he thought Zhao Fusheng was angry, but now he thought, the commander of Wan'an County might be trying to save his life. His own fate.

"help me?"

Zheng He murmured to himself, with a blank look in his eyes.

Zhao Fusheng didn't pay any more attention to him.

Judging from Zheng He's expression, it was a matter of life and death, and he had already listened to his warning.

She followed Liu Rong all the way to the river, and sure enough, she saw a painting studio parked on the river in the distance.

This painting studio should be just around the corner. It mainly focuses on leisure and elegance, so in terms of appearance, it should be more gorgeous than practical.

The hull of the ship is exquisitely carved, and it is already covered with red lanterns. You can vaguely hear the sound of tuning silk and bamboo strings coming from the shop, mixed with people running back and forth.

The stern board for boarding the ship had been lowered, and Zhao Fusheng got on the ship. His view was different from before.

A gentle breeze blows from the river.

Without the oppression of the evil ghost, Zhao Fusheng relaxed as he felt the night wind blowing on the boat and looked at the river surface that seemed to merge with the night.

She temporarily let go of her tension about survival and her vigilance against evil spirits. The servants on the ship stayed away from her, and when they had to pass by the deck, they all restrained their hands and feet in a low voice.

She didn't know how long it had passed, but she suddenly heard a long, thin and soft tune.

The sound was light and sweet, like the long call of a kingfisher on an empty mountain. It penetrated into her ears and made her turn around subconsciously.

"It's Liu Huangyu."

Zheng He's voice rang out.

Zhao Fusheng's comfortable and leisurely attitude gradually faded away, and a familiar smile appeared in her eyes. She still looked relaxed, but when she turned to look at Zheng He, Zheng He still felt that she seemed to be ready at any time. He seemed to be on guard.

"Liu Huangyu?" Zhao Fusheng asked with great interest:

"Is it the Sebring from the Red Spring Troupe that I mentioned before?"

"It's not Sebring." Zheng He shook his head:

"It's Bai Ling."

As soon as he finished speaking, he realized that he had refuted Zhao Fusheng, and he was afraid that she would be unhappy, so he quickly made up for it:

"But your Excellency is indeed well-informed. The three generations of leading actresses in the Hongquan Opera Troupe are all known as 'Bailing'."

Zhao Fusheng turned his head to look at him, indicating for him to continue.

Zheng He didn't know why she was interested in these situations, but seeing that she wasn't angry because of his offense and seemed to be very interested, he could only say:

"The Hongquan Opera Troupe was not called this name earlier. They were just a little-known theater troupe at first, called Liu Chun Society."

"Their class leader is called Liu Chunquan. This Liu Chunquan has a daughter. She is pretty, has a good figure, and has a great voice. After she went on stage to sing, she immediately became famous."

Zheng He has come to the end of his life in the past two years and has indulged in pleasure. He spoke clearly about the origin of the troupe:

"Liu Chunquan's daughter took the stage name 'Sebring' since she debuted on stage. At that time, she attracted the attention of many people in the Imperial Capital."

"Why did Liuchun Society later change its name to Hongquan Society?" Zhao Fusheng asked.

Zheng He said:

"As soon as Sebring debuted, he quickly became famous in the Imperial Capital. As time went by, people only remembered Sebring. Who would remember a bad old man from a theater troupe?"

After he finished speaking, he saw Zhao Fusheng frowning. He quickly realized that he had missed the point and hurriedly added:

"The reason why it was later renamed Red Spring Troupe was because Sebring's real name had a red letter in it——"

When he said this, Zhao Fusheng didn't know why, his eyelids twitched, his mind changed, and he blurted out:

"Liu Honghong?"

Zheng He's stiff face twitched:

"Adults also know?"

After saying that, he quickly flattered:

"Your Excellency is indeed well-informed."

"It turns out to be Liu Honghong."

Zhao Fusheng suppressed the surprise in his heart and murmured to himself:

"What a coincidence."

She thought of the ghost carriage in her room. Today, when she used her ghost arm to turn over the book in the ghost's hand, she randomly turned to a page and the name of 'Liu Honghong' was displayed.

Unexpectedly, not long after, I heard news about the ghost car victim from Zheng Hekou.

"It's a pity that she was only famous for half a year and disappeared soon after."

Zheng He mentioned this ‘Sebring’ and shook his head regretfully:

"This happened ten years ago. After she disappeared, Hongquan Club fell silent for a long time. Liu Chunquan later bought a talented girl, taught him personally, and finally performed on stage. She also became an instant hit, known as 'Lark', it's a pity——"

At this point, he started shaking his head again:

"Good times don't last long."

Zhao Fusheng's heart moved and he answered:

"Disappeared again?"

"Have you guessed it, sir?" Zheng He responded without hesitation.

"The Hongquan Theater Troupe was so unlucky that two pillars were broken in a row. If you ask me, Liu Chunquan is also a character. After Sebring disappeared, he withstood the blow of the troupe's leading role, so he learned the lesson and bought Bailing At that time, I also bought an extra girl to sing with Bai Ling."

He said:

"Later, after Bai Ling disappeared five years ago, this little Bai Ling just happened to make a comeback. The reputation of Hongquan Society did not decline like before Bai Ling disappeared. This Xiao Bai Ling is not inferior to Bai Ling. She has taken over the burden of her master and is now in the Imperial Capital. It’s very popular, and that’s why Hongquan Society has its current reputation——”

Zheng He talked endlessly about the origins of the troupe, but Zhao Fusheng didn't care about the reputation of the Hongquan Theater Troupe. After Zheng He's words, her mind turned to another thing.

"Sebring disappeared ten years ago, and Bailing disappeared five years ago -" she said thoughtfully:

"There are disappearance cases that occur every five years. If you think about it, this is a new five years -"

　Double monthly pass, please give me a monthly pass!
