I become a god in another world

Chapter 12

Chapter 12
The two brothers made it clear that they would stand by and watch.

Zhao Fusheng sneered:
"My parents died unjustly, so aren't you afraid of triggering the corpse transformation and causing another evil ghost to appear?"

When Fan Bisheng heard this, he couldn't help but laugh out loud:
"Fu Sheng, you don't know something." He explained:
"As the saying goes, there is no room for two tigers in one mountain. Ghosts also have their own laws. High-level ghosts will have a certain suppression on ghosts in the same field. If your parents turn into ghosts, it is very likely that they will restrict each other and create a perfect situation."

Finally, he paused again and said:
"If only one ghost revives and one person is really dead, then you are the commander-in-chief of the Demon Suppression Division. You yourself have said that you want to revive the Demon Suppression Division, so it is your duty to solve the ghost disaster. Together with us What does it have to do with it?"

From his words, Zhao Fusheng drew two useful clues:

First, in this era, it is indeed possible for people to turn into ghosts after death. In this way, she also found the source of the formation of evil ghosts, but in this way, the situation seemed to be even worse.

If a person dies with injustice or resentment, he or she will turn into a ghost. The appearance of ghosts will be difficult to prevent. Especially when Fan Bisheng mentioned the appearance of "ghost mist". This thing seems to be extremely beneficial to the birth of ghosts, but in comparison, it is not good for human beings. It's very disadvantageous.

According to what Fan Bisei said, the only way for humans to deal with evil ghosts is to use their power to defeat them. However, the consequences of dealing with ghosts are disastrous and the probability of death is high. If evil ghosts resurrect frequently, Wan'an County will have almost no way to survive.

She frowned with a headache, and then thought about the second possibility mentioned by Fan Bisheng.

Fan Bisheng said that after Zhao Fusheng's parents turned into ghosts, they might restrict each other.

According to her past knowledge, people who die and become ghosts should have memories of their lives. But from Fan Bisheng's words, it seems that people here who turn into ghosts after death will lose their memory and reason, and only know how to kill instinctively.

But this was just her guess.

After Fan Bi died knowing that she was unwilling to take out the two souls, he obviously would not tell her any additional information, but she could verify this in the future when dealing with ghosts.

"It seems that ghosts do change after people die." She responded.

Fan Bi's expression turned ugly, he sneered and said nothing.

"Since the Demon Suppressing Division has no money, you brothers have nothing to do, and you are not afraid of the evil ghost reviving, my parents' funerals must be arranged." Zhao Fusheng said calmly.

When Fan Wujiu heard this, he was about to speak out, but Fan Bisheng glanced at him and then shook his head.

Zhao Fusheng pretended not to have seen the exchange between the two brothers and said:

"How about temporarily borrowing two coffins from Boss Zhang of the coffin shop, and then pay back the money in the future when the Demon Suppression Division is on track."

"..." She used to be timid and cowardly, but now she dared to ask someone to lend her property on credit, which made Fan Bisheng look at her differently.

"Can't borrow it." But even so, Fan Bisheng still shook his head and said with some regret.

"Can't borrow it?" Zhao Fusheng was really unhappy at this moment. "You are the ones who suppress the demons after all, and you don't look like polite and kind people. How come you can't borrow two coffins?"

Fan Wujiu said:
"I really can't borrow it. Why haven't you moved the coffin shop?"

The Demon Suppressing Division is now in disrepute. Almost all of the division has been wiped out in a short period of time. The nearby merchants were so frightened that they moved out overnight.

"The reason why Lao Zhang didn't move is simply because he couldn't move."

"It's true that there is no salvation." Fan Bisei said:
"When we first arranged the funeral, we always asked him to borrow the coffin on credit. Now we have accumulated a lot of money, so he had no choice but to stay here." At this point, his voice changed:
"Since you have decided to revive the Demon-Suppressing Division, it would be good to have something happen. Lao Zhang said that we owed a lot before, and now you are the commander of the Demon-Suppressing Division. He said that when you are free, you can take over the Demon-Suppressing Division. All previous debts will be settled.”

"Do you still want to pay back the money?" Zhao Fusheng asked, raising his voice.

"I dare not not pay it back." Fan Bisheng twitched his lips, "His surname is Zhang."

"Zhang?" When Zhao Fusheng heard this and looked at Fan Bisei's expression, he suddenly thought of a person:
"You mean the paper figures?"

She had just been reborn in the Han Dynasty and was not familiar with this place, but she had heard the Fan brothers mention it several times.

Fan Bisheng seemed to be quite afraid of him. He had even introduced this person to him as a condition of his deal with her.

"Not bad." Fan Bi did not hide anything from her, and said bluntly:
"They are from the same clan. I advise you not to offend him. Regarding the coffin, you should find another way. You can't borrow it on credit. Now Boss Zhang only accepts cash and never gives credit."

His demeanor was arrogant and his words were provocative, as if he was deliberately trying to arouse Zhao Fusheng's true anger.

After hearing what he said, Zhao Fusheng was silent for a long time, and then suddenly smiled coldly:
"Call the old man from this coffin shop."

Her performance was beyond Fan Bi's expectation. Fan Bi was stunned for a moment, then he laughed, turned around and said:
"It's hopeless. Call Boss Zhang over."

Fan Wujiu listened to his words very much. After hearing what he said, he stood in the courtyard and shouted loudly:

"Lao Zhang, come here and pay!"

His voice was loud and bright. As soon as he finished shouting, everyone nearby could hear clearly. Not only Lao Zhang from the coffin shop poked his head out, but also someone from the incense, candle and paper money shop popped up.

Fan Bidi smiled, his eyes a little malicious:

"Fusheng, I forgot to tell you that because of the funeral ceremony, not only the coffin shop owed money, but also the incense, candle and paper money shop also owed a lot of money——"

"It's okay, you can call us together."

Zhao Fusheng pondered for a moment, then nodded.

She looked unhurried and calm. Fan Bisheng looked at her suspiciously, frowned, but said nothing.

The boss of the coffin shop, Zhang, quickly brought a skinny boy over.

Old Zhang's head was half bald, the tip of his nose was red, his slender eyes flashed from time to time, and he had the head of a deer and the eyes of a rat, which made people feel disgusted just by looking at him.

At this time, he was suddenly called to the Demon Suppressing Division by the Fan brothers. He didn't know what these people had in mind, so they stared at Zhao Fusheng in surprise.

He was no stranger to Zhao Fusheng, and his relationship with Zhiren Zhang made him already know that Zhao Fusheng was just a scapegoat brought by the Fan brothers. Yesterday, the death of three members of the Zhao family in the Demon Suppression Department at the hands of a vicious ghost could not be concealed. He passed by him, but he didn't expect that the dead person would appear in front of him early this morning.

When he saw Zhao Fusheng, he thought he had seen a ghost, and he was frightened on the spot.

"you……"

He stared at Zhao Fusheng in surprise.

At this close contact, he naturally recognized that although Zhao Fusheng's face was pale, his eyes were bright and lively, and his breathing was even. He was obviously a lively person.

"I heard that our Demon Suppression Division owes a lot of money?" Zhao Fusheng ignored his probing look and asked in a deep voice.

She was thin and wore clothes that obviously didn't fit her well, but her demeanor and tone of voice were completely different from before. Her eyes no longer dodge, and she looked calm when looking at people.

Lao Zhang can open a coffin shop on this street, so he is certainly not an ordinary person. Thinking of her situation, the same idea as Fan Bisheng came to his mind: a ghost controlman.

Could it be that this girl who was supposed to lead away the trouble was a blessing in disguise and successfully controlled the out-of-control evil spirit?

He was thinking in his mind, but he kept saying:

"Yes."

"Calculate how much I owe."

Zhao Fusheng said.

Lao Zhang was puzzled, but he still summoned the guy with a belly as big as a basket to follow him.

The man looked blank and walked forward holding the account book.

He looked very strange, with long and thin limbs, his cheeks were only covered with skin and bones, his eyelids were drooping, but his belly was as big as a basket, which made him move a little slowly.When he stood in front of Zhao Fusheng, he raised his eyelids. The whites of his eyes were yellow and his eyes looked a little cloudy.

As he got closer, Zhao Fusheng could faintly smell a faint corpse smell lingering on him.

I don't know if it's because a ghost is haunted by him, but Zhao Fusheng is extremely sensitive to "ghost" energy. When he saw it, his hair stood on end, and he felt that the person standing in front of him was not a big living person.

But compared to Zhao Fusheng's nervousness, the waiter was even more uneasy. There was a "ho ho" sound in his nose, and something seemed to be squirming in his big belly, lifting his clothes and moving along his belly.

Seeing this scene, Lao Zhang felt relieved.

He motioned to the clerk to put down the account book and waved him back.

The guy quickly retreated. It wasn't until he was out of the courtyard that the guy managed to regain some composure and stopped spinning around like a headless fly.

"The debts owed by the Demon Suppressing Division in the past are all here."

Zhao Fusheng withdrew her attention from the clerk and focused her eyes on the account books. She did not check the account books, but asked:
"How much do you owe in total?"

When Lao Zhang saw her straightforwardness, he was stunned for a moment, and then smiled:

"Since last year, something has happened to the Zhenmo Division..." After he said this, he turned to look at the Fan brothers.

Fan Bishui nodded imperceptibly, he breathed a silent sigh of relief, and then said:

"A total of 32 coffins were used. According to the previous rules, each coffin cost a total of three taels of silver." When the old man talked about money, he said:
"So for 32 coffins, we should give 96 taels of silver."

After saying that, he secretly raised his eyes and glanced at Zhao Fusheng:
"You did the math, right?"

Zhao Fusheng knew nothing about the prices of commodities at this time, but she had keen intuition and insight into every detail.

She turned her head and looked at Fan Bisheng, showing a meaningful smile.

In the conversation between Fan Bisheng and her, he mentioned a very critical issue: when he bought Zhao Fusheng to die, he spent five copper coins.

If the price of a human life is only worth five copper plates, and the price of a coffin can buy [-] Zhao Fusheng - this is obviously unreasonable.

However, her goal was not above the price. After hearing what Lao Zhang said, she nodded boldly and said:
"no problem!"

Lao Zhang was stunned by her response. After a while, he raised his voice and asked:
"Are you serious?"

"Yes."

Zhao Fusheng nodded:
"Add two more coffins, and we'll get a total of 102 taels of silver. What do you think?"

When Lao Zhang heard what she said, he was happy at first, and then felt something bad in his heart.

If Zhao Fusheng was not very responsive, he was prepared in advance.

But he mentioned the price of the coffin casually. How did she know how much she would order a coffin?

At this time, her calculations were accurate, which showed that she was not illiterate.

But the Fan brothers obviously found her from the countryside. It is said that the three members of the Zhao family are illiterate. Lao Zhang has seen her before. She is indeed timid and does not dare to interact with others. How can she appear to be fluent in talking to him now?

He had doubts and instinctively warned:

"That's fine, but how are you going to pay for it?"

"I do not have money."

Zhao Fusheng said simply.

"What?" Lao Zhang saw her calm look when she talked about 'no money', and suddenly felt ridiculous:
"Aren't you just looking for fun with me?" After saying that, he pretended to recruit a waiter to take away the account books.

"That's not true." Zhao Fusheng put his hand on the account book and stopped his movements:

"We have something to discuss. I don't have any money at the moment, but in the name of the Demon-Suppressing Division, I will first lend you 110 taels of silver on credit——"

Her words made Lao Zhang laugh angrily. He even forgot that Zhao Fusheng was controlling the ghost and said quickly:
"That's not possible. To tell you the truth, how can the Demon Suppressing Division have any prestige now?"

In the past, when Zhao Qiming and other commanders were still alive, these people were rich in experience and had considerable means. They were called "borrowing money". While Lao Zhang believed in their ability to "repay money", he really did not dare not to borrow.

Nowadays——

Lao Zhang of the coffin shop kept shaking his head:
"Can't borrow, can't borrow--"

The Fan brothers folded their arms and watched the show.

Zhao Fusheng was not angry and said again:

"Then I'll borrow two more coffins and pay them back in the future. Do you think that's okay?"

"No way." Lao Zhang still shook his head.

Zhao Fusheng was not angry when he rejected him again and made another suggestion:
"It's better than this. You can give me some more time. When I take control of the Demon Suppression Division, I can borrow some money from the wealthy households and squires in Wan'an County and then pay you back."

"I can't wait any longer. The situation in Wan'an County is not right. After collecting this debt, I will leave this place with my family..."

He made it clear that he was not optimistic about the future of Wan'an County.

While talking, the owner of the incense paper money shop outside also came.

This man was a stooped old man with a gloomy expression. The strangest thing was that he was followed by two strange 'boys'.

The two 'boys' had red cheeks, grinning lips, and stiff expressions. They did not look like real people, and they also had ghostly auras about them.

As Fan Bisheng said, most of the people who stay on this street probably have their own means of self-protection, which should not be underestimated.

Zhao Fusheng glanced at it and ignored it, but stared at Lao Zhang:

"This won't work, that won't work either, so what do you want?"

"I want……"

When Lao Zhang heard this, his eyes shone brightly, and he opened his mouth subconsciously, and then he saw Zhao Fusheng's expression that was half-smiling but not smiling.

As soon as he saw this scene, he immediately realized that something was wrong.

"The Demon Suppression Division encountered a ghost disaster. Everyone else left, but you didn't. Sure enough, you had other ideas."

Zhao Fusheng smiled and said:
"I still don't know what else there is in the Demon-Suppressing Division that is worthy of your concern." After speaking, he added:

"Tell me, what do you want?"

"..."

Lao Zhang's expression was gloomy and he had a look of regret in his eyes, secretly hating that she had tricked him out of the news with just a few words.
