I become a god in another world

Chapter 123

"..."

Zhao Fusheng frowned.

"Oops."

Seeing her unkind expression, Zhang Chuanshi realized that he was too proud, so he quickly calmed down and said:

"After your Excellency and Xiaofan left Wan'an County by car at noon the day before yesterday, the sky in the county became dark early."

It's early August now. The days are long and the nights are short. It won't get dark until Xu hour.

But it was just midnight the day before yesterday, and the sky was gradually getting dark.

Everyone felt a little uneasy at the time.

But considering that there have been no ghosts in Wan'an County recently, and the ghost trouble in Begging Alley has just passed, how could it be so unlucky that as soon as the commander of the Demon Suppression Division left, a haunting case immediately followed?

The ghost has no IQ, so it is impossible for him to know that Zhao Fusheng left the city.

With this thought, everyone did not take Tianhei to heart.

However, Zhang Chuanshi felt a little uneasy, so he packed up his things overnight and moved them from the coffin shop opposite to the Demon Suppression Division.

For some reason, he always felt like something big had happened.

Sure enough, that night he heard a banging sound.

"Is there someone knocking on the door of the Demon Suppressor?"

Zhao Fusheng asked.

At this moment, Pang Zhixian regained his breath and shook his head:

"Not only the Demon Suppressor, I also heard knocking sounds."

Halfway through Zhang Chuanshi's words, he was upstaged by him again. He felt a little unhappy. He glared at the thin magistrate and said angrily:

"I was just talking-"

"Who said they're not the same?" Zhao Fusheng tapped his fingers on the table twice.

"How is that the same? All the credit was taken away from him..." Zhang Chuanshi was still loud at first, but when he saw Zhao Fusheng looking at him coldly later, he immediately stopped talking.

Zhao Fusheng did not talk to him, but looked at the others.

All the officials, squires and rich people in the city looked panicked. It was obvious that there was something behind the knocking sound.

She asked:

"Did you hear it too?"

"heard it."

Everyone said in unison and nodded in unison.

Dozens of people spoke at the same time, causing the beams in the room to buzz. The servants outside also looked uneasily. It was obvious that everyone was very concerned about this matter.

"Tell you, Wade."

Zhao Fusheng once again named Wade.

The old squire walked out of the queue with a shaky cane and said:

"Replying to your lord, I am old and don't sleep much. I finally took a nap the night before yesterday. Suddenly I woke up in the middle of the night and seemed to hear a "clang" sound."

He still felt frightened when he mentioned what happened the night before. Goosebumps were visible on his neck, and the tone of his voice changed.

"At that time, I thought some of the servants were ignorant. They kept banging the door in the middle of the night, making noisy noises."

Yu Weide had trouble falling asleep, and now he was even more furious when he was woken up. He quickly got up and called someone to find the servant who knocked in the middle of the night and teach him a lesson.

Unexpectedly, after checking for a long time, the person who knocked was not found at all.

During this period, the knocking sound never stopped for a moment.

"To tell you the truth, my eyes were swollen and my head hurt from the noise. It felt like my eyeballs were about to explode. My temper became even more unbearable."

Zhao Fusheng nodded:

"After being affected by the ghost realm of powerful ghosts, it is very likely that symptoms of upset and uneasiness will occur."

She learned this from the files recorded by her predecessors.

Sometimes people's fears are deeply hidden and cannot be vented smoothly due to self-esteem, so they may turn into anger and their tempers may become extremely weird.

When Yu Weide heard what she said, he nodded hurriedly:

"Your Majesty is quite right."

"Then?"

Zhao Fusheng quickly asked for clues about the ghost disaster.

"After that, the more I thought about it, the angrier I became. I felt that these servants were acting in a treacherous manner. I guess these unscrupulous slaves wanted to bully me when they saw how old I was."

When he thought about it, he refused to give up. He called all his family members and servants to the main hall of his house overnight.

At that time, the housekeeper was asked to compile a roster and call everyone's name.

"I want to see who dares to knock in the middle of the night, and dares to knock and chisel when I wake up." Yu Weide mentioned the scene at that time. I wonder if it was affected by ghost trouble. His beard trembled when he spoke. Still looking a little angry.

"Then did you finally find the clue?"

Zhao Fusheng asked smoothly.

She asked this question, but she actually already knew it in her mind.

Magistrate Pang has already told the final answer, and the question at this time is just to learn the details of the case.

As soon as she finished speaking, Yu Weide's expression changed drastically and he shook his head:

"Your Excellency must have expected that my whole family, young and old, were summoned to the front of the main hall. After calling their names one by one, I found that everyone was in front of the main hall. Even my infant great-grandson was brought in, and no one knocked! "

The chisel sound did not stop at that time.

"I didn't think about the ghost case at the time, and I guessed that someone was knocking something outside. Maybe it was quiet at night, so the sound spread loud and far, and reached my Yu family's house."

But Yu Weide was a famous squire in Wan'an County.

His house is very big, and the neighbors are far apart. Logically speaking, even if there is any noise, it shouldn't be carried so far.

Apart from the fact that the sound carried far and loud at night, the only possibility was that something evil was at work.

At that time, no one had thought of this.

The Yu family lit up a lantern and went out to look for it. They walked around for several miles and found no one knocking, but the knocking sound didn't stop.

When Yu Weide said this, he didn't know what he thought of. His arms trembled with fear and he looked at Pang Zhixian for help.

Magistrate Pang received his request for help and quickly stepped forward:

"Let me tell you what happens next."

"Say it." Zhao Fusheng nodded in agreement.

"The situation at Master Yu's house is similar to that of our government office."

"I was still sorting out the files at that time and didn't fall asleep." When Pang Zhixian said this, he swallowed.

Recently, because Zhao Fusheng was in charge of Wan'an County, he felt at ease and had more motivation to manage the county's general affairs. He was happy to work overtime every day and refused to rest until the middle of the night.

When the knocking sound was heard, his wife came over with a late-night snack to persuade him. She said that the night was cool and foggy, and she was afraid that he would hurt his body by staying up late, so she asked him to rest early.

Pang Zhixian and his wife were childhood sweethearts. They had been married for many years and were very loving.

When he went to Wan'an County to take office, his parents, children and grandchildren all stayed in the imperial capital. Only his wife accompanied him, fearing that he would be alone.

After receiving the soup, he smiled and said:

"I want to take care of the general affairs of the county, provide good logistics for Mr. Zhao, and relieve her of worries. I just want to concentrate on handling ghost cases and keep my Wan'an County safe."

He came to Wan'an County to take office less than two years ago and had dealt with the previous commander-in-chief Zhao Qiming.

Whenever he had to meet Zhao Qiming, he felt scared, as if he was talking to the living dead.

Pang Zhixian saw with his own eyes that Zhao Qiming's temper changed from gentle at the beginning to cloudy and unstable. In the end, he no longer had any vitality in him, only ruthlessness and viciousness remained.

Any handyman in the Demon Suppressing Office who displeased him would be killed by him.

Everyone is wary when dealing with him, and Magistrate Pang is also walking on thin ice.

But even this kind of life did not last long. With the death of Zhao Qiming, the Demon Suppression Division in Wan'an County was involved in ghost cases. With the fall of the Demon Suppression Division in Wan'an County, ghost cases occurred frequently in various places.

At that time, Pang Zhixian thought that he would definitely die.

Once the local Demon Suppressor falls and the court no longer supports the place, this county will turn into a ghost town sooner or later.

Under such circumstances, the sudden emergence of Zhao Fusheng was undoubtedly a life-saving duckweed for Pang Zhixian in despair.

He even burst out with the energy and motivation that he only had in his teenage years. He worked hard on official duties every day and did not dare to relax at all.

In this case, his wife understood his intentions and did not dare to persuade him.

The two couples talked for a while, but the banging sound could not be heard without stopping.

Magistrate Pang initially thought there was some temporary knock on the matter.

Although it was abrupt at night, maybe the person who was tapping knew what was going on and would know to stop after a few hits.

Unexpectedly, the couple talked for more than a quarter of an hour, but their voices never stopped.

He was distraught when he heard the knocking sound, worried about the accumulation of official duties.

He complained in front of his wife:

"I originally wanted to sort out some general affairs while your Excellency is out of the county to do business. How can I do business like this?"

Mrs. Pang, who used to be gentle and virtuous in the past, showed strange anxiety at this time. When she heard what Magistrate Pang said, she became furious:

"You're right. I don't know who's brave enough to do this in the middle of the night. It's outrageous!"

Mrs. Pang's face turned pale:

"Don't worry, I will solve this matter and I will definitely find the villain."

After saying that, she left angrily.

Of course, the end result is the same as Yu Weide's.

Mrs. Pang spent a lot of time, but could not find any clues. The 'clang' sound lasted all night and did not disappear until dawn the next day.

The night was exceptionally long, and the day dawned later than usual.

As the sky dawned, the knocking sound that had tortured the people of Wan'an County all night stopped. Zhixian Pang was extremely annoyed, but when he saw the sky was getting slightly brighter, he felt vaguely relieved.

He summoned the master and asked people to find the servants in the government office, asking them to find out who was causing trouble last night.

However, I saw that the guards who came to work also looked tired. After asking, I found that the guards had heard knocking sounds last night.

"Some officers live far away, and some live close to each other. There is a long distance between them, but they all heard the sound at the same time——"

Pang Zhixian was frightened:

"I knew right then that something was wrong."

But by chance, Zhao Fusheng, who could solve this ghost case, left the city at that time.

During the day, the police officers visited everywhere and found out the same as what Magistrate Pang had guessed. The whole Wan'an County heard the strange knocking sound.

It looked like someone was hitting something with a sharp-nosed hammer.

Sensing something strange, he made a prompt decision and asked his master to immediately send a group of messengers to Baozhi County to deliver the message.

"The officer set out in the morning, walked around in a circle, and came back in a daze at noon."

When Pang Zhixian said this, thinking of the scene at that time, his whole body was agitated, and he unconsciously showed a look of fear:

"As soon as he entered the Yamen, he shouted for help and asked to see the magistrate of Baozhi County——"

Magistrate Pang swallowed and continued:

"He was holding a letter in his hand, claiming to be a messenger sent by Wan'an County and wanting to see Mr. Zhao——"

From the words of Magistrate Pang, it is not difficult to tell that the officer may have entered the ghost realm at that time, and was confused by the ghost, and then distorted his eyes - so he went around in a circle and returned to Wan'an County. In his mind, he had left Wan'an County and arrived in Baozhi County.

The person who saw him at that time was not the 'Pang Magistrate'. From his perspective, what he saw should be the magistrate of Baozhi County.

——This situation is somewhat similar to the one in Kotou Village whose senses were blinded by ghosts.

"He seemed to not recognize me at all and regarded me as another person. He also didn't remember that the letter he held in his hand was written by me."

Magistrate Pang now knew the seriousness of the problem.

In order to avoid further trouble, he immediately had the police officer whose mind was disturbed by the ghost be taken into custody.

The letter delivery failed, and apparently the entire Wan'an County fell into some kind of weird ghost realm.

Everyone could only wait passively.

"And yesterday afternoon, the situation became even more terrifying——"

When Pang Zhixian talked about the scene at that time, his expression changed drastically.

He swallowed:

"Before Shen Shizhong yesterday, the sky gradually started to get dark——"

In the two days and one night since Zhao Fusheng left Wan'an County, it had gotten darker day by day.

Pang Zhixian had a vague premonition of what would happen after dark.

Sure enough, when night fell, the familiar sound of 'clang-clang' chiseling sounded again.

And this time the knocking sound was no longer just one.

When Pang Zhixian said this, his eye circles turned red and he shed two lines of old tears:

"When I heard it, in addition to the "clang" sound last night, there seemed to be another chisel sound mixed in. At this moment, the master hurriedly came to me——"

At this point, he could say no more and turned around to wipe his eyes with his sleeve.

When the master standing behind Pang Zhixian heard this, he quickly completed what Pang Zhixian had not finished:

"Something happened to the lady at that time."

He recalled the scene at that time, and fear made his cheeks twitch unconsciously:

"I heard someone from the government reported that Madam seems to be possessed by an evil spirit. Please inform the Master quickly."

"What did Madam do?"

Zhao Fusheng's heart moved and he asked.

The master's eyes showed a look of fear and fear:

"The lady took a hairpin and hit the mirror hard."

"..."

‘Gudong. ’

Zhang Chuanshi had obviously heard about this strange incident for a long time, but when he heard his master mention it again, he might have been infected by the other person's fear. He also swallowed his saliva and instinctively leaned closer to Zhao Fusheng. Closer.

Zhao Fusheng gave him a disgusted look and warned him not to push towards his chair.

"Hehe." He laughed twice and carefully moved away from Zhao Fusheng's gaze. But as soon as she turned her eyes away, Zhang Chuanshi leaned back quietly.

Zhao Fusheng was too lazy to reveal his secret plan at this time, so he asked Yu Weide:

"Did something happen to the Yu family?"

"Have!"

Yu Weide quickly nodded in agreement:

"My second son also took a carving knife and struck a piece of mountain material——"

As he spoke, his expression gradually changed:

"Clang, clang, clang - it makes such a sound every time it is knocked."

After speaking, as if he was afraid that everyone present would not understand, he picked up the crutch in his hand and started tapping the ground.

‘Bang bang, bang bang——’

Everyone stood or sat quietly in the hall, waiting for Zhao Fusheng to ask clearly what happened and then discuss how to solve this dilemma.

Unexpectedly, Yu Weide was talking nicely, but suddenly he started tapping the ground with his crutch.

Pang Zhixian, who was so frightened that he collapsed on his chair after mentioning his wife, heard the banging sound and jumped up from his chair in fright:

"Mr. Yu, let's talk about it, why bother knocking to scare people?"

Everyone present was quite frightened these past two nights.

If hearing the knocking sound at first was a sign of annoyance, when hearing the knocking sound again later, it was a deep-seated fear of the unknown and spooky ghost.

Yu Weide ignored Pang Zhixian's words.

He still held up his cane and tapped rhythmically: 'Kang-kuang, Kuang-kuang——'

"Yu Weide!" Every time Pang Zhixian heard "哐哐", he felt his heart beating faster, not only the blood vessels in his mind were beating, but also his hands were shaking.

Flustered and short of breath, he shouted:

"Stop knocking—"

Everyone also followed these rhythmic "clang" sounds, as if they had fallen into the fear of being dominated by the unknown knocking sounds for the past two nights.

There was a buzzing sound in the Hall of the Suppressing Demon Division. Everyone's scalp was numb, and their fear turned into anger. They even forgot that Zhao Fusheng had not expressed his position yet, and they all shouted to push Wade back to his position.

‘Bang bang, bang bang——’

Yu Weide stopped talking.

When the hall was in chaos, Zhao Fusheng was sitting in the main seat.

At some point, the sky outside became darker, and gray mist floated into the hall. The surrounding candlelight was shrouded in shadows, and the light and shadow suddenly became much darker.

The fear, panic and confusion on everyone's face were conveyed in the hall through the gray mist. Everyone was affected by the invisible ghost realm and had long lost their calmness and courage.

Therefore, they did not notice that the fear, anxiety and other emotions on Yu Weide's face had disappeared.

His old eyes became cloudy, the wrinkles on his face became deeper, and the corners of his mouth drooped, showing a stiff, rigid expression of numbness and coldness.

Zhao Fusheng noticed that his hands were particularly strong. He firmly grasped the crutch in his hand and hit the ground hard, as if he was trying to smash the stone bricks under him and create a big hole.

‘Bang! Bang! Bang bang bang! ’

His face was expressionless, and he hit the ground with his crutch again and again.

"Stop knocking!" Pang Zhixian shouted in horror.

"Stop knocking-"

Others also shouted.

Zhang Chuanshi hid in the Demon Suppression Division before, and he was alone with no children. Perhaps due to luck, the changes last night did not occur in the Demon Suppression Division, so he did not meet Pang Zhixian and Yu Weide Weird scenes of family members having accidents one after another.

But at this moment, Yu Weide suddenly went crazy, but he witnessed it with his own eyes.

He stood beside Zhao Fusheng and saw that Yu Weide was still talking a moment ago and suddenly started to strike the ground with his staff.

And when everyone was scolding him, he was the only one who remained silent. This situation was really annoying.

Zhang Chuanshi thought of this and subconsciously turned to look at Zhao Fusheng.

However, he saw Zhao Fusheng thoughtfully looking at Yu Weide with a frown. He looked carefully, but there seemed to be no fear on Zhao Fusheng's face.

As long as Zhao Fusheng is not afraid, then he is not afraid!

Zhang Chuanshi felt brave for a lifetime in an instant.

He thought about his unpleasant acquaintance with Zhao Fusheng, and how he had offended her because of the paper figurine. After seeing her methods, he was very afraid of her, fearing that she would settle the score in the future and kill him one day.

After his trip to Kotou Village, he had always wanted to please Zhao Fusheng and looked for opportunities to perform everywhere.

The opportunity has come at this moment. If he doesn't show his bravery, when will he wait? !

When he thought of this, Zhang Chuanshi boldly stepped forward.

Relying on the fact that he had a ghost book to protect his body, he raised his hand and hit Yu Weide on the head!

'Snapped! ’ Amid the crisp sound, Zhang Chuanshi’s loud voice shouted:

"I'm telling you to stop knocking. Are you deaf and blind, you old guy? You can't tell if you're causing any noise--"

Before he finished speaking, Yu Weide, who had been standing upright before, fell to the ground with a 'pop' sound like a pile of sand that was instantly crushed.
