Chapter 16
Chapter No.16
What the two brothers said was scary. Although Zhao Fusheng was very worried about the evil ghost, she did not completely back down.

After all, she is now surrounded by evil spirits. Even if she does nothing and waits for death, it seems that she will not survive for long.

And she accidentally got the God List. Although she didn't know the origin of this list, there was always a glimmer of hope.

There was no way she would let go of such an opportunity.

"Fusheng, think about it carefully." Fan Bisheng twitched his lips:
"These three cases are newly received by the Demon Suppression Division in the past six months. You can forget about them earlier, but even so, none of these three cases are easy to handle."

He advised:

"You are lucky to be alive. This kind of luck can never happen again. You should listen to me and just find a place to hide. Why bother meddling in such nosy matters."

Zhao Fusheng smiled and did not answer his question. Instead, he asked:
"Brother Fan, I wonder if we can still find a suitable burial place now? My father and mother's funeral must be kept simple and it must be done as soon as possible. You may have to worry about it then."

She was extremely wary of Fan Bisei, but this was not the time for the two sides to break up.

Fan Bisheng felt a little impatient when he saw that she refused to listen to her repeated advice.

In the past, Zhao Fusheng was weak and had no independent opinions, letting him dictate everything. Now, the status of both parties has been reversed——

He was silent for a long time, and finally endured the bad breath, and then said:

"Okay. Our brothers are not very kind, so we will take care of your parents' affairs."

This man was not very old, but he was very scheming and forbearing. Zhao Fusheng was even more afraid of him.

Fan Bisheng said again:
"But you should also consider my words carefully. The deal I mentioned before still counts. As long as you figure it out and are willing to take out the soul life for my brother, our brother will be grateful to you."

"I'll think about it."

Zhao Fusheng nodded, and when he saw Fan Bisei's expression softening slightly, he asked again:

"Is there any record of the three cases you mentioned? I want to take a look."

When Fan Bisheng first saw her nodding in agreement, he thought she had finally figured it out, but now he saw her talking about the three cases again and again, and he suddenly felt angry.

"No more." Fan Bisheng shook his head, suppressed his displeasure, and said firmly:
"There's been a lot going on lately, and no one has recorded these three cases."

"What about past cases? There are always records, right?" Zhao Fusheng was not discouraged by his refusal and asked again.

"There are past records, all in the left wing, but it's been so long ago that I don't know if they can still be found."

"Which wing room?" Zhao Fusheng asked again.

Fan Bisheng became more and more impatient and raised his hand:
"The second room over there, if you're not afraid, just go and see it yourself." After saying that, he frowned:
"If there is nothing else, Wujiu and I will handle your parents' funeral."

As soon as he finished speaking, he winked at his younger brother, and the two brothers exited the lobby and went straight out of the Demon Suppression Division.

Zhao Fusheng looked at the two people leaving, and after a while, he gently twitched the corner of his mouth.

She did not pay too much attention to the Fan brothers. These two people had a grudge against her. The two sides were just maintaining a temporary superficial peace, and it was not worth her to waste too much thought.

Instead, it was the three demon-suppressing cases mentioned by Fan Bisheng that attracted her attention.

Although she did not completely trust Fan Bisheng, and what he said may not be entirely true, the terrifying nature of ghosts and the original death of Zhao Fusheng had sounded the alarm for her.Among the three cases, the first two were strange and unpredictable, with no clue at all. Her confidence was too weak now, and without a thorough understanding of ghosts, she went there rashly to die.

Compared to the horse-drawn carriage case and the murder case of a family of seven, Zhao Fusheng was more inclined to try his luck in begging alleys.

When I came here, it was in Wan'an County, not far away;

Secondly, this case was right next door to the Confucius Temple. There had also been a ghost disaster in the Confucius Temple. Based on his intuition, Zhao Fusheng felt that there should be a certain connection between the two ghost disasters - maybe even caused by the same evil spirit. for.

She was not making random guesses, because Fan Bisheng mentioned that someone came to Confucius Temple for help a month ago and mentioned the 'promise' made 40 years ago, which can also indirectly prove this point.

Forty years ago, the people from the Demon Suppression Division had dealt with the Liu family's troubles, and perhaps they had left records.

As long as the record can be found, it is better than being blind.

Most importantly, Zhao Fusheng heard some clues from Fan Bisheng's words.

He repeatedly advised himself not to handle the case and just sit back and wait for death, but when he mentioned the begging alley, he accidentally said: Their brothers had gone there before.

A month ago, the Suppressing Demon Division could not protect itself. People like Fan Bisheng had no profit and could not afford to leave early, but he was willing to take the time to go to the alley to beg for food. This situation is not normal.

Fan Bisheng mentioned before that the imperial court turned a blind eye to the Suppressing Demon Division's slack handling of cases in most cases, but Zhao Fusheng was not stupid and did not believe that the imperial court would sanction under the sanction of possessing the Book of Souls and Life. There will still be endless indulgence in the local demon slayer.

She had thought earlier that the two sides must be on guard against each other and had a certain agreement.

It is unusual for the Fan brothers to be eager to leave Wan'an County.

According to what he said, Wan'an County was gradually abandoned by the court due to the influence of ghost fog. But if they could just wait for death without taking the case, why would their brothers leave this place and go to other places?
As he himself mentioned: You won’t live longer if you go to other places, it’s just that your chances of survival are higher.

After the ghost case broke out in the begging alley, he and Fan Wujiu went to investigate, and it was even more weird.

This person is extremely shrewd and greedy for life. If he hadn't been forced to do anything, how could he have wasted his efforts to find out the news?

All the above situations prove that this person speaks half truths and half lies.

Zhao Fusheng concluded that the imperial court could not completely control the demon-suppressing divisions in various places. After all, the people who control ghosts were withdrawn and surly. Even if Jia Yi, the ghost whisperer, could control the ghosts, the power of these people should not be underestimated.

On the contrary, the demon-suppressing commanders in various places must be afraid of and wary of the imperial court, and cannot escape from it.

The two sides maintain a superficial peace, which means that when a ghost case occurs, the local demon-suppressing agencies have the right to weigh the pros and cons. If the risk is too great, the local demon-suppressing agencies will probably adopt the method mentioned by Fan Bisheng - ignore it, serious consequences Then report it to the court.

The imperial court should also have certain restrictions on the local demon suppression department, that is, it does not require that every serious or major case must be handled, but a certain number of ghost cases must be completed every year, or within a few months.

In this way, both parties can achieve a delicate balance, which can also explain the motivation of the Fan brothers to go to the begging alley.

It's been a long time since the Wan'an County Demon Commander's accident happened. After Zhao Qiming's death, the imperial court completely gave up on rescuing the place. They no longer sent potential ghost control commanders to come and take charge, and allowed him to perish on his own.

The Fan brothers' souls are tied to the Wan'an County Demon Suppression Division. As the time approaches, if the case is not completed, it is very likely that the ghost spell in the soul book will backfire, so the two of them did it out of desperation. Go to the begging alley.

After discovering that they could not solve the ghost case, the two brothers wanted to leave Wan'an County and leave the mess to themselves, who were lucky enough to be resurrected.
