I become a god in another world
Chapter 133 Departure to Zhang Mansion
Chapter 133
The ghost money is covered with dark ghost spit that can never be wiped off, carrying a strong evil aura.
However, it didn't take long for Zhang Chuanshi to use his skills to make this extremely sinister thing become slightly warmer.
After Zhao Fusheng confirmed that the ghost money was correct, she closed her palms. The shadow of hell silently engulfed her palm and swallowed the ghost money.
Zhang Chuanshi's face was full of pain:
"Oh, this money——"
"It's just a penny, Lao Zhang."
Fan Bisheng tried to persuade him, but Zhang Chuanshi still stared at Zhao Fusheng's hand:
"It's not about a penny -" That's money that even the devil wants.
Moreover, what Zhao Fusheng meant was that this piece of ghost money could buy a life from the evil ghost. This alone made the piece of ghost money worth a hundred times.
When Zhang Chuanshi thought of this, he felt a little regretful and felt his flesh aching, but he did not dare to compete with Zhao Fusheng.
It was okay if Fan Bi died not to persuade him, but as soon as he tried to persuade him, old and new hatreds surged into his heart:
"Da Fan, have I offended you? Your kid has tricked me several times today -"
Fan Bisheng was about to speak when Zhao Fusheng interrupted the argument between the two:
"Okay, let's talk about it when we get back."
At this time, the ghost realm is dissipating, the black air that blocks the sky is dispersing, and the sky is gradually getting brighter.
The eyes can now see and see the surrounding scene.
Zhao Fusheng's eyes fell on the large number of corpses beside the sealing stone pillar, with a look of distress in his eyes:
"These are my people in Wan'an County."
This case resulted in the death of some people, causing her merit points to be deducted by 500.
In addition, Wan'an County experienced the death of Zhao Qiming, and the Demon Suppression Division remained vacant for a period of time. After the outbreak of ghost cases, most of the people in the county were relocated, and the remaining people had nowhere to go and were left behind. of people.
Many buildings were vacant, and now some people had died. Zhao Fusheng was inevitably a little distressed.
"After returning home, Magistrate Pang compiled a list of names, canceled the deceased's account, and the county government paid for the corpse to be buried."
As soon as she finished speaking, Magistrate Pang was stunned for a moment.
Talking about the follow-up matters, the three people quickly recovered from their panic. Zhixian Pang covered his chest with embarrassment on his face:
"The county government pays..."
"Is there a problem?" Zhao Fusheng turned his head to look at him, and Magistrate Pang felt a little embarrassed:
"Sir, the main reason is that Wan'an County Government has no money."
"No money?"
Zhao Fusheng was a little surprised and turned to look at Zhang Chuanshi:
"Why do everyone say they have no money?"
Her words reminded Fan Bisheng and Zhang Chuanshi of the time when the Zhao couple passed away a month ago and faced the problem of no money for burial.
The two of them had secret intentions at that time, and hearing her bring up old things now made them both embarrassed and guilty.
Magistrate Pang didn't dare to say anything and only looked at Fan Bisei.
Fan Bisheng gritted his teeth and explained:
"Sir, generally prefectures and counties have local regulations. The local government's income cannot be used except for royal tax revenue. The rest of the treasury is mainly based on the expenses of the local demon slayer."
"Yes."
Zhao Fusheng nodded.
She went to Baozhi County and learned about some things:
"But after I took control of the Demon Suppression Division, I didn't empty out the government's money."
"My lord, have you not——" Pang Zhixian said this and went to see Fan Bisheng again:
"But the previous commander——"
When he said this, Zhao Fusheng understood the meaning of his words.
Fan Bi died and sighed:
"The Demon Suppression Division has always had a rule of spending all the money during one's lifetime and never leaving it to the next person."
When Zhao Qiming came to Wan'an County, what he inherited was an empty shell.
Before his death, the previous Commander-in-Chief almost emptied the Wan'an County Demon Division, and the government could not afford much money except for the royal tax money handed over.
"When Brother Qiming took office, he also thought about not moving the government's money."
But as Zhao Qiming spent more time controlling ghosts, he had a premonition that his death was approaching, and his temperament began to change drastically.
He was originally a decent man with a forthright temperament, but as he got closer to death, he became paranoid and suspicious, and began to feel extremely unbalanced. He thought that everyone was working for the court, so why could others get money but he couldn't.
Therefore, before Zhao Qiming died, he also moved the Wan'an County government office empty just like his previous commander-in-chief.
"This money is sent to the Imperial Capital. He still has relatives in the Imperial Capital..."
Magistrate Pang did not complain about this.
When commanders deal with ghosts, power comes quickly but also dies quickly. The imperial court is very generous in dealing with money for commanders in various places, and there has never been any precedent of blaming commanders for money.
Even if this kind of thing was reported to the emperor, it would just go unanswered.
"After that, ghost disasters occurred frequently in Wan'an County, and we did not dare to collect taxes." Magistrate Pang explained:
"After your Excellency took control of the Demon Suppression Division, the situation has improved a lot. We are also collecting taxes, but most of the taxes handed over are linen and grain, which have not been exchanged for silver yet."
In addition, Wan'an County is affected by the ghost fog, and business transactions are also restricted, so the government cannot come up with money.
Zhao Fusheng understood what happened and couldn't help but sigh:
"In this case, the Demon Suppressor will pay for it first, Lao Zhang will calculate the coffin, and the subsequent coffin money will be included in the account book."
After speaking, she warned Zhang Chuanshi:
"Don't collect cash randomly."
"Of course not-"
Zhang Chuanshi was stunned for a moment and quickly shook his head.
But he was stunned for a moment, then looked at the dead bodies crisscrossing the ground, and hesitated for a moment:
"But sir, these are just untouchables. Do they need to be buried in coffins? If you ask me, just wrap them up in some straw mats and dig a hole into the ground..."
“What is an untouchable and what is a good citizen?”
Zhao Fusheng smiled slightly and asked him.
She didn't look angry. Zhang Chuanshi felt relieved and bravely took another look at the dead bodies.
Most of these people were dressed in rags, and some were even barefoot. They did not look like they were born into good families.
"them--"
"They are all the same people who paid taxes and tribute to the Han Dynasty."
Zhao Fusheng replied warmly.
Her words made Pang Zhixian raise his head. Fan Bi bit the dead skin on his lips and glanced at her secretly.
For some reason, Zhang Chuanshi always felt that Zhao Fusheng was in a bad mood.
He suddenly remembered that Zhao Fusheng was also born in a poor family before he controlled ghosts. From a certain perspective, the Zhao family was considered by many people to be among the 'untouchables' mentioned by Zhang Chuanshi.
Zhang Chuanshi realized that his words had offended Zhao Fusheng. He was annoyed that he was too quick to talk. When he was racking his brains to find something to make up for, Zhao Fusheng shook his head:
"Let's go."
"……Yes."
Zhang Chuanshi responded.
The sky has brightened, and the shadows that have shrouded Wan'an County for two days and nights have dispersed.
Without the influence of the ghost realm, Fan Bisheng and Magistrate Pang knew the way back. Everyone could see messy bloody footprints along the way they came.
There were also dead bodies lying on the ground halfway along the roadside, making this road to the cemetery look particularly gloomy and bloody.
The four of them had been walking for about half an hour when Zhang Chuanshi's eyes suddenly lit up:
"My lord, our carriage."
When a ghost accident occurs, the driver suddenly dies, and several people have to abandon the vehicle.
Due to time constraints, there was no time to tie the horse tightly. He originally thought that the horse would run wild. Zhang Chuanshi was mentally prepared to leave the west of the city on foot. When he saw the carriage appearing, he was immediately happy:
"There's no need to walk back now."
Pang Zhixian was also very happy. He was frightened and frightened during this trip, which consumed a lot of energy. In addition, he was old and a scholar. It would be really difficult for him to walk back to the city from the west of the city. . Fan Bisheng hurriedly stepped forward to stop the horse. Zhao Fusheng glanced at the pale Zhixian Pang and motioned for him to get on first.
Magistrate Pang couldn't refuse, so he had to climb into the car.
When Zhao Fusheng got into the car, Fan Bisheng wanted to help her, but Zhang Chuanshi pushed him aside, held Zhao Fusheng's arm, and whispered:
"Sir, I'm sorry——"
His voice was very soft. Except for Zhao Fusheng who was about to get in the car, Magistrate Pang in the car and Fan Bisheng beside him didn't hear him clearly. They could only vaguely hear him muttering something.
Zhao Fusheng paused as he got into the car.
With her legs still in the air, she turned to look at Zhang Chuanshi.
A nervous look could be seen on the old man's uninjured face, and he was a little uncomfortable. When she looked at him, his eyes flickered.
His apology may not necessarily mean he truly agrees with what she said.
Maybe it's just because I'm afraid that she'll be careless, or maybe it's because I'm afraid that I'll offend her and be bitten by her in the future.
When Zhao Fusheng looked at him, he seemed a little nervous and uncomfortable. Just as he was about to say a few more words, Zhao Fusheng smiled and said:
"It's ok."
After saying this, she bent down and got into the carriage.
Zhang Chuanshi stayed where he was, still supporting her.
Fan Bishi bumped into him:
"Old Zhang, what are you doing? If you can't get in the car, I will get in the car if you don't."
Only then did Zhang Chuanshi come back to his senses. He suppressed the strange feeling in his heart and deliberately concealed his awkward mood with a loud voice:
"Just get on, the coachman is dead, someone has to drive the coach——"
After saying that, step aside.
Fan Bisheng frowned:
"Tell me, why are you shouting so loudly?"
He climbed into the car and Zhang Chuanshi looked at the dried blood stains left on the handlebars. He couldn't help but look disgusted and cursed:
"This is an unlucky position. There's so much blood. Find something and I'll wipe it with you. Otherwise, you won't be able to sit down -"
The noise of several people seemed to sweep away the haze caused by the sudden ghost case in Wan'an County.
Zhang Chuanshi wiped the seats, drove the horses to turn around, and the group of people drove in the direction of the Demon Suppression Division.
……
At this time, in the Demon Suppression Department, the squires and officials who were left in the government office were trembling with fear, watching the sky outside gradually darken.
The familiar chisel sound in the night sounded again.
As the sound rang out, Squire Yu Wade's chest vibrated even more intensely.
His face turned from white to blue, taking on a terrifying, dead look, but for some reason, he was holding a faint breath.
Time passed little by little, and when everyone was feeling extremely frightened by the chiseling sound, the chiseling sound suddenly stopped.
Soon after, the sky, which had already fallen early into the night, started to light up again.
The black fog dissipated, and the haze that shrouded everyone's hearts gradually dissipated as the ghost realm was unraveled.
"The ghost case solved?"
Someone shouted tentatively.
The candle flames in the room that were affected by the ghost realm grew larger again - in fact, there was no need for lights in the Demon Suppression Department at this time, and everyone discovered that the sky outside had been blue and misty since unknown time.
"Its daybreak--"
A wealthy businessman murmured.
The rest of the people woke up immediately:
"Its daybreak?"
"It's not dawn! It's already afternoon and it's not dark." Someone immediately responded:
"It should be that the ghost case has been solved and the ghost realm has dispersed, so the sky is bright again."
This person's answer made everyone who was already tense feel relieved.
Everyone in the room had smiles on their faces and said:
"That's really how it should be."
"How long has Mr. Zhao been out for?" While being happy, someone suddenly raised a question.
"No more than two hours—"
Although Zhao Fusheng has not returned yet, and the news of the cracked ghost case has not yet been sent back to the Demon Suppression Department, the removal of the ghost domain is undoubtedly the best reminder for everyone.
A ghost domain that almost enveloped the entire Wan'an County was quickly cracked in such a short period of time. This is something that all previous demon-suppressing commanders in Wan'an County have found difficult to accomplish!
"Your Excellency is really like a god descending to earth!"
"Master Zhao is the evil ghost's nemesis——"
"Wan'an County is really blessed to have Mr. Zhao here."
Everyone praised and cried with joy.
While they were rejoicing, someone shouted:
"Master Yu is awake!"
This shout made everyone even more happy.
Everyone hurriedly called on the servants from the Demon Suppression Department to bring in warm water and helped Yu Weide up, who was originally lying on the ground.
……
By the time Zhang Chuanshi came back with his carriage, the sky was almost bright.
Everyone gathered in front of the gate, talking about the ghostly fog that enveloped the entire county, and felt grateful to survive the disaster.
Even Yu Weide, who was on crutches, insisted on waiting for Zhao Fusheng in front of the gate with the support of everyone.
When the carriage stopped in front of the gate, everyone rushed towards it.
Fan Wujiu squeezed in the front, and when he saw his brother returning safely, he couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief.
Magistrate Pang, Fan Bisheng and Zhang Chuanshi were all there. The four of them went together and returned at the same time.
"grown ups--"
There was still a large pool of blood stains on the seat where Zhang Chuanshi was sitting. Although it had been wiped off manually, the danger at that time could still be seen.
"This time, the seal of the ghost mausoleum was loosened, a powerful ghost revived, and something big almost happened."
When Zhao Fusheng saw the crowd gathered around him, he said lightly.
When everyone heard that the seal of Guiling was loosened, the joy on their faces dimmed. Just as they were about to speak, they heard Zhao Fusheng say:
"But I have refilled the seal and the evil ghost has been suppressed. There will be no more problems for at least a year or two."
Her words were like a shot in the arm for everyone, making everyone surprised and happy, but they did not doubt her words at all.
The successive cracking of several ghost cases has proven Zhao Fusheng's strength, and everyone in Wan'an County is extremely convinced of her.
Only Fan Wujiu subconsciously looked at his brother when he heard her sealing.
Fan Bisheng explained:
"Your Excellency went to Baozhi County this time to subdue her parents——"
Fan Wujiu's pupils shrank sharply, and he immediately understood the meaning of his words.
"The evil ghosts of Mr. and Mrs. Zhao have reached disaster level. The brand they have given is far better than the one Mr. Zhu, a silver-level general, made last year."
Fan Bisheng said loudly:
"With a disaster-level ghost seal, usually the evil ghosts will be completely suppressed. Everyone will no longer have to worry about the ghost mausoleum for a long time in the future——"
What's more, as long as Zhao Fusheng is still in Wan'an County, this seal can be repaired at any time, and an incident like the Ghost Tomb will not happen again, threatening everyone's lives.
"Thank you, sir!"
"My lord saved my life——"
Woohoo, I feel like this transitional chapter was not written very smoothly, and I am not very satisfied with the revisions.
Recently, I seem to have fallen into a state of resisting part-time work again. I have to slowly adjust.
