I become a god in another world

Chapter 190 Plaque Trading
Chapter 190
The invisible ghost energy bound Zhao Fusheng.

She did not dodge, but allowed Kuai Manzhou to hold her tightly and continued to stroke the little girl's head.

After a while, Kuai Manzhou opened his eyes, and the ghost energy that leaked out was gradually controlled.

The child obediently stopped his hand and agreed:
"Ok."

She walked to Magistrate Pang and held his hand.

"..."

The old magistrate allowed her to hold him back.

She only felt that half of her arm was numb where she was holding it.

When I didn't know that Kuai Manzhou was a ghost controller, I just felt that the only survivor of Kuai Liang Village was a little introverted and silent. Now that I knew the truth, I always felt that the hand I was holding didn't look like a living thing.

"Walk."

Kuai Manzhou shook his arm.

She gave a command and Pang Zhixian made an action.

Zhao Fusheng had been in charge of the Demon Suppression Division for several months, and he had forgotten how terrifying a ghost controller could be. At this time, the old magistrate finally regained the feeling of being dominated by fear.

He glanced at Zhao Fusheng as if asking for help, but Zhao Fusheng smiled and nodded at him:

"Go ahead, Manzhou will be obedient."

Magistrate Pang was taken away by the little girl with a sad face.

As soon as the two people left, the temperature in the side hall gradually began to recover.

Gu Jiansheng, who had not dared to take a breath before, slowly breathed a long sigh of relief and wiped his forehead.

Kuai Manzhou is young, has a complicated experience, and has just mastered ghosts. She is often on the verge of losing control. The power of ghosts is easily revealed to her inadvertently, which puts great pressure on people.

Thinking of this, Gu Jiansheng gave Zhao Fusheng a strange look: This lady from the Wan'an County Demon Division is also a ghost controller, and she is not very old. She has solved several major ghost cases and has also borrowed the power of ghosts. But she didn't even have the slightest tendency to lose control.

She seems to be no different from ordinary people——

No. Gu Jiansheng immediately overturned his thoughts in his mind. Zhao Fusheng was even more emotionally stable than ordinary people.

She doesn't seem to be moody. Not only is she not affected by evil spirits, she is also easier to get along with than normal people.

As time goes by, people will even subconsciously ignore that she is also supposed to be a violent and unpredictable ghost controller.

This is so strange!

Gu Jiansheng scratched his head and vaguely understood why he was eager to escape Baozhi County and join Wan'an County.

Compared with Zheng He, Zhao Fusheng seems to be much easier to deal with.

And the sense of stability she gives people is contrary to her identity as a ghost controller.

"Sir, what are your orders for keeping me here?" Gu Jiansheng couldn't understand the conflict in Zhao Fusheng, so he simply stopped thinking about it.

His mind was quick, and he could already tell that Zhao Fusheng had something to say to him when he sent Pang Zhixian and Kuai Manzhou away.

Zhao Fusheng smiled.

"Is Zheng He's condition serious?"

There is no need to beat around the bush when talking to smart people. Although Gu Jiansheng is not very smart, he should have carried Zheng He's instructions behind his back when he came here.

Gu Jiansheng nodded when he heard this:
"Sir, Master Zheng said that he might not be able to support him until the end of the year, and he might be resurrected."

Speaking of this, a look of fear appeared on his face.

Zheng He's evil ghost is kept in his body.

After controlling ghosts, he has solved several ghost cases, and with the help of ghosts' power several times, he himself is on the verge of losing control.

The day when the evil ghost breaks out of his belly is the day of his death.

Although he tried not to use the power of the ghost after that, the ghost was still gradually reviving, and the ghost head crawled out bit by bit.

According to his original estimate, he could support it until the end of the year.

The imperial court was well aware of his situation. If everything goes well, around November, the imperial court should send a new commander to take over his post as Baozhi County.

But unexpectedly something happened in the middle.

This variable is Zhao Fusheng.

Zhao Fusheng came out of Wan'an County, which was originally a place of exile by the imperial court, and unreasonably dumped the blame for the resurgence of the evil ghost that day on the Zhao family and his wife to Baozhi County. After the two ghosts resurrected, Zheng He was in dire straits.

But this was not the main reason that affected his early recovery as a ghost. The reason why Zheng He was in unstable condition now was related to the fact that a fight almost broke out when the two met in the Demon Suppression Department that day.

At that time, Zhao Fusheng suppressed Zheng He forcefully and took away a life coin that controlled the ghost in his body. At that time, the evil ghost in Zheng He was temporarily controlled - but as time went by, the recovery speed of the evil ghost accelerated, and Zheng He had already survived. It won't be long.

When Zhao Fusheng heard this, he pondered for a moment.

After all, although Zheng He's ghost troubles were caused by his own control of ghosts, the fact that he is now reviving ghosts earlier is also somewhat related to Zhao Fusheng.

But Zhao Fusheng doesn't feel guilty about this.

As the Fan brothers said, this was forced by the current situation of the Han Dynasty, and everyone was for the sake of survival.

She was new to controlling ghosts at that time, and she was in a difficult stage, so she naturally had to divert the trouble.

Now that she has the ability, she is willing to help Zheng He within her ability - but this also requires Zheng He to pay a certain price.

When they were separated in Baozhi County that day, she revealed this news to Zheng He. Zheng He thought about it over and over again, and he probably couldn't bear it anymore, so he collected part of the pledged property in more than a month to send Gu Jian to him during his lifetime. Come to surrender to her.

Zhao Fusheng smiled:
"What did Zheng He say to you before you left?"

Gu Jiansheng did not dare to hide anything and said bluntly:
"Fu Ling Zheng said that your Excellency has a way to solve the problem of the resurgence of the evil spirit in him——"

Having said this, Gu Jiansheng swallowed his saliva and secretly raised his eyes to glance at Zhao Fusheng.

She was smiling and her eyes were gentle, but for some reason, he was timid and did not dare to look directly at her. He just glanced at her and lowered his head.

If Zhao Fusheng can solve the problem of Li Gui's resurgence, once the news spreads, I'm afraid the imperial court will recruit her to Beijing.

"So before I came here, Vice Ling Zheng told me that he would agree to any conditions you have. As long as you can save his life, he is willing to listen to your orders."

In fact, Zheng He's original words were: As long as Zhao Fusheng could save his life, he was willing to be Zhao Fusheng's lackey.

Zhao Fusheng nodded:
"Since Zheng He said this, I will say it directly."

She had already thought about the price Zheng He would pay many times:

"I want Zheng He to take down the plaque on the Zhenmo Si in Baozhi County and have him come to Wan'an County to find me with this plaque in person."

What she said was beyond Gu Jiansheng's expectations.

Before he came to Wan'an County, Zheng He considered Zhao Fusheng's request and guessed that she would be a lion. In addition to gold and silver finances, she also had some rare and dangerous things, things related to restraining evil spirits...

Because of various hidden worries, Zheng He never dared to make up his mind. When Gu Jiansheng heard Zhao Fusheng's words, he thought in a daze: Deputy Ling Zheng would be stunned for a long time if he learned the inside story.

"Sir, you just want the plaque from the Demon Suppressing Division? And ask Deputy Ling Zheng to deliver it to you personally?"

Perhaps this request was too bizarre, Gu Jiansheng even forgot to lower his head, stared at Zhao Fusheng with wide eyes, and repeated her words.

Zhao Fusheng nodded slightly:
"Of course the request is not just this one." Gu Jiansheng breathed a rare sigh of relief: As long as there is more than one request.

When something goes wrong, she becomes a demon. She can help Zheng He restrain the evil ghost from resurrecting, but she only wants a plaque from the court - what is the use of this thing? Can't eat or drink.

"I want Zheng He to send a plaque, and from now on, Baozhi County will be included in Wan'an County, and he will also join Wan'an County's Demonic Control Division and listen to my dispatches from now on."

"That's natural." Gu Jiansheng almost didn't need to think about such a request, so he agreed on Zheng He's behalf without hesitation.

"Don't agree too quickly. The plaque of the Suppressing Demon Division belongs to the imperial court. What if Zheng He doesn't agree?" Zhao Fusheng said with a smile.

Gu Jiansheng said disapprovingly:

"Your Excellency, you don't know. Since the imperial court has assigned duties, Baozhi County is equivalent to Deputy Ling Zheng's territory. With a plaque, he can make the decision."

His words showed that the Han Dynasty's court had extremely weak control over the local demon-suppressing divisions.

The plaque of the Demon Suppressing Division is not a relic and is nominally the property of the imperial court, but Zheng He can handle it at will for his own safety. This shows that it is actually difficult for the ghost controllers within the Demon Suppressing Division to be fully controlled.

This is true for the superiors, not to mention the way these commanders treat the people under their jurisdiction.

Zhao Fusheng shook his head imperceptibly, sighed, and said nothing more.

Anyway, she has already reminded him that what happens next has nothing to do with her, she just needs to get the Demon Suppressing Division plaque.

"Okay." She suppressed the distracting thoughts in her heart and said:

"As for the law that the Demon Suppressing Commander cannot leave the county's territory, leave it to Zheng He himself to resolve."

Gu Jiansheng responded respectfully.

After talking about the business, Gu Jiansheng hesitated for a moment.

Zhao Fusheng picked up the tea on the side and took a sip. Seeing that he had not left yet, he knew that he had something to say, so he couldn't help but ask him:
"Anything else?"

"Sir." Gu Jiansheng couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he heard her take the initiative to speak. He quickly walked to her side with his smiling face and hunched back:
"What will we do if Deputy Ling Zheng comes under your command?"

"What do you mean?"

Zhao Fusheng guessed what he was thinking, but deliberately did not reveal it. Instead, he tilted his head and looked at him with a smile:

"What do you want?"

"I want to be by your side and serve you."

Gu Jiansheng replied without hesitation.

"Generally speaking, if the Demon Suppression Division in a county is disbanded or incorporated, what do others do?" Zhao Fusheng asked.

There have been many precedents for this kind of thing in the past.

The frequency of ghost crimes in the Han Dynasty has become more and more serious in recent years. As a result, some counties and towns, like Wan'an County, were abandoned by the court and abandoned.

Gu Jiansheng said: "According to the past rules, before leaving office, the commander will arrange the destination of the previous commander."

These envoys who were lucky enough to survive were either dispatched, or those with connections found another place to go and were taken over by the Yamen of the Demon Suppressing Sect (but the chance of the latter was much smaller).

Zhao Fusheng nodded thoughtfully.

"Why are you following me? You have also seen the situation in our Demon Suppression Department."

Zhao Fusheng put down his teacup and looked at Gu Jiansheng calmly:
"I have to handle cases when I have them, and every time I order someone to go with me, if you come to my side, I can't guarantee that I won't take you with me to handle ghost cases when I'm short of manpower."

Gu Jiansheng also knows how dangerous it is to deal with ghost cases. If you are not careful when dealing with ghosts, you may lose your life.

Gu Jiansheng gritted his teeth:
"I still want to be with the adults."

"Why?" Zhao Fusheng was really curious.

She had made it clear to Gu Jiansheng about the serious relationship, but he still insisted on coming to Wan'an County even though he knew there was danger.

"In today's world, there is no absolutely safe paradise."

Gu Jiansheng, who had always had a playful smile, was rarely serious. It was obvious that this question had been turning over and over in his mind a thousand times since he accompanied Zhao Fusheng back from Wulitian Village.

"Even if I don't come to Wan'an County, if I go to other places, there is no guarantee that I will be able to handle the ghost case."

There is a restriction that the imperial court must handle three cases every year. No matter how much other commanders evade, they cannot escape this iron law.

The ghost controller has been dealing with ghosts for a long time, and they are almost the same as ghosts. It can be said that they are just living corpses.

Such 'people' have no emotions, no joy, anger, sorrow or joy, making them worse than dogs in the eyes of them.

When encountering danger, the envoy is the cornerstone of exploration.

The reason why many ghost cases are successfully solved is because they were explored with human lives.

"Your Excellency has handled several ghost cases. I see that almost all of your county magistrates have traveled with you."

Speaking seriously of the double ghost case in Baozhi County, Gu Jiansheng and Zheng He were both participants.

At that time, Er Fan, as her accompanying envoy, had the most tasks and had close contact with ghosts.

——According to Gu Jiansheng's past knowledge, most of these envoys had already died from the massacre by the ghosts the moment the evil spirits appeared.

But in the end, no one died in the double ghost case in Baozhi County.

People who participated in the case and even witnessed the ghost case survived, which is enough to show Zhao Fusheng's extraordinary ability.

Not only that, this time the ghost case in Kuai Liang Village was accompanied by three envoys, and all three of them survived, and Zhang Chuanshi who was traveling with him even controlled a very dangerous thing, which in Gu Jiansheng's opinion was extremely Incredible.

It might be a coincidence that the messenger was lucky enough to survive, but every time it happened, it was enough to make Gu Jiansheng's heart flutter.

"I want to stay with you, sir."

Gu Jiansheng gritted his teeth and said:

"Even if you have to deal with a ghost case, you still have a chance of survival. If you follow other commanders, you will just survive for the time being, and you will eventually die."

After speaking, he added:
"Actually, some of the Demon Suppressing Divisions are in ruins, but after the commander is dead, there are almost no commanders alive."

The Han Dynasty only knew that the death rate of the commander-in-chief was high and the replacement frequency was faster, but it did not know that the ordinary commander-in-chief had a higher mortality rate and the replacement frequency was faster-it was just that no matter the common people, the royal family, or the generals of the Demon Suppressing Division, No one cares about the life and death of these ordinary envoys.

No one cares what happens to them.

"I understand what you mean."

Zhao Fusheng responded:
"Now that you have thought it through, go find Brother Fan later and register it in the soul and destiny book, then return to Baozhi County to inform Zheng He."

As soon as she finished speaking, Gu Jiansheng's eyes lit up and he quickly stood up straight:

"Yes!"

This time he went out, his steps suddenly became much easier.

……

After finishing these chores, Zhao Fusheng sat quietly for a while.

The fragrance of tea lingered in the side room, and outside, the gentry were chatting and laughing.

Most of the conversation was about tonight's reception banquet, praising Zhao Fusheng's speed in handling the case, and some people were discussing the store to be opened in the future -
On one side it was quiet, on the other side it was bustling, which made Zhao Fusheng seem extremely relaxed at the moment.

She leaned back on the chair and let herself squint for a while. The reason why she tried her best to solve the ghost case was not only to gain merit points and save her own life, but also to protect a county and make the people under her rule feel safe. , this feeling is also good.
