I become a god in another world

Chapter 203 Decided to go (please vote)

Chapter 203
Pang Zhixian was still thinking about what Zhao Fusheng said. When Leng Hezhi heard her ask about available manpower in the county, he couldn't help but get excited and quickly replied:

"Sir, we don't have enough manpower now."

He looked embarrassed:
"There have been bandit troubles in the past. The solution in the past years was for the county government to borrow servants from the wealthy gentry families in the county."

In addition to the rampant ghost disasters in the Han Dynasty, military and bandit chaos was also the main culprit that made people miserable at this time.

Many local powerful people would encounter dangers from soldiers and bandits. In order to protect their families, some gentry and wealthy families would pay their own money to hire thugs to look after their homes and homes.

This was also the case in Wan'an County before.

When it was time to suppress bandits, the county magistrate asked the local gentry and indigenous people to take the lead in paying a sum of funds to suppress bandits, and then levied "protection fees" from the people.

As soon as the money was obtained, it was used to rent servants from the gentry and natives, and to guard the homes and pay bandits.

These people set out in great force, and when they arrived at Fengmen Village, they set up battle formations, ate, drank, and made noise for a while, and then left after having a deterrent effect.

In the end, the ground was left covered with devastation, but the real disaster was not eradicated. Instead, it remained and became an old disease, turning into a mountain that weighed on the poor people, making them gradually numb from pain.

When Zhao Fusheng first proposed hiring strong men from Fengmen Village and Huanggang Village, she did not really consider solving these bandit troubles in a short time. When she thought about it as the demon-suppressing commander, the first thing she considered was ghost trouble.

But at this time, when I mentioned Guo Wei to Pang Zhixian, they talked about banditry, and I couldn't help but feel an unknown fire in my heart.

Rage arose from her heart and turned into a murderous urge to see blood.

The evil ghost was attracted by this negative power and turned into a shadow under her feet, ready to move.

Her mood was up and down, with a sinister look on her eyebrows, and she stood up and walked back and forth.

Kuai Manzhou, who was playing with the shadow of his fingers, seemed to sense something and turned around suddenly.

The child was even more severely affected. She didn't know when she pinched a fully bloomed ghost flower between her fingers. The blackness of her eyes spread, occupying the entire eye socket, and her body had a ghostly aura.

The sun was still shining brightly before, but now the clouds came in, and the eaves were blocked by shadows. The temperature inside the Demon Suppression Department instantly dropped a lot.

Zhao Fusheng's Consciousness Sea heard a reminder from the God List: The host's aura merged with the ghost, and the ghost was about to resurrect. Should he spend 20 merit points to suppress it?
Yes!
Zhao Fusheng took a deep breath, and the merit points in the sea of ​​consciousness were deducted.

In a moment, the eerie feeling on her body disappeared, and in the squirming shadows under her feet, the unwilling consciousness of resentment faded away like a tide, and was firmly suppressed by the list of gods.

The sunlight under the eaves shines in again, and the cold air in the hall dissipates.

The originally ghostly child blinked his big eyes, with a confused and overwhelmed look on his face.

The black energy in Kuai Manzhou's eyes dissipated, and his eyes fell on Zhao Fusheng. He stared at her for a long time, as if her mood had eased in this moment.

The child yawned widely, and his slightly yellowed long hair fell down.

The little girl tore open the petals in her hand, and the ghost flower turned into black air and dispersed. She lay back on the table and started playing with her fingers again, seemingly not interested in the conversation between Zhao Fusheng and Pang Zhixian.

Pang Zhixian didn't know that the previous crisis had passed in a flash.

He only vaguely felt that it was a little cold at that moment, and the old magistrate sneezed. He speculated in his mind: Maybe it was because the weather turned cooler after autumn. In recent days, he saw that the weather was good, so he wore less clothes when he went out.

The old magistrate rubbed his arms and continued the previous topic: "But after the incident in Wan'an County last year, many capable people moved away long ago."

The reason why Yu Weide and others did not leave was because their family was not strong enough and could not find a suitable place for a while.

"Although there are still some people in Wan'an County, there are not enough servants to support them. If you want to suppress the bandits-"

When Magistrate Pang was hesitating on how to resolve this matter, Zhao Fusheng shook his head:
"No servants borrowed."

Her words made Magistrate Pang suddenly stunned:

"Don't want to borrow a servant?"

"In the past few decades, could the servants raised by the powerful and wealthy families in Wan'an County have fought against these gangsters?"

Zhao Fusheng laughed and asked Pang Zhixian.

Her words immediately stumped Magistrate Pang.

"I, I, to be honest with you, I haven't been in Wan'an County long enough, and I have indeed never seen it with my own eyes -" Magistrate Pang replied in a squeaky voice.

"——But in the past government records, there were also several times of siege."

"How many gangsters were killed?"

After Zhao Fusheng asked, he waved his hand again:
"Forget it, these records can't be counted."

The situation in Wan'an County was worse than she imagined, and these formal records may not be reliable.

The recorded number of gangsters killed may become the resume of successive officials, who will be promoted and transferred when their terms are over. It is unknown whether these numbers are true, or whether they are not gangsters but killing good people and taking credit for their merits. .

Zhao Fusheng frowned, suppressed the disgust in his heart, and said: "This disappearance of Guo Wei's family is a good opportunity -"

"..." Pang Zhixian didn't understand the meaning of her words, and when he was about to ask, he saw Kuai Manzhou, who was playing with his fingers at the side, suddenly turned his head:

"I also need to go."

This kid has been taciturn since he joined the Demon Suppression Division from the Kuai Liang Village Ghost Case, and he only often follows Zhao Fusheng around like a little tail.

Pang Zhixian was afraid of her from the beginning, but later he got used to the little girl's shadow-like presence. At this time, Leng Heye heard her speak and couldn't react for a moment:

"Where are you going, Master Kuai——"

Before he finished speaking, Zhao Fusheng said:

"I'm going to go to Fengmen Village myself to see what this place is like." She meant something:
"There was a ghost case 43 years ago, but it didn't cut off the village's heritage, and it suffered from banditry—"

She smiled:

"I want to see if Guo Wei's family really fell into the hands of bandits!"

After Zhao Fusheng said this, Magistrate Pang was stunned.

After a long while, he finally realized what Zhao Fusheng had said, and was shocked:

"Sir, are you going to Fengmen Village?"

"good."

Zhao Fusheng made up his mind and suddenly felt much more comfortable.

She walked back and forth for two steps and sat back on the chair. She picked up the already lukewarm tea cup and took a sip:
"I've wanted to go to Fengmen Village for a long time. There was a ghost case in Kuai Liang Village. During the ghost case in Kuai Liang Village, Mrs. Zhuang Si's sister-in-law was also from Fengmen Village."

Zhao Fusheng said this and glanced at the child.

After the ghost case occurred in Kuai Liang Village that day, she was entangled in ghost dreams and had 'conversations' with several daughters-in-law of the Kuai family.

If the remaining memory fragments of these evil ghosts about their lives in ghost dreams are true, then the daughters-in-law of the Kuai family loved Kuai Manzhou very much when they were alive.

Mrs. Kuai was born in Fengmen Village. At this time, when Kuai Manzhou heard that something happened to her aunt's family, it was reasonable for her to want to go with her.

The situation of the little girl controlling ghosts is special. After the death of Lady Zhuang Si, she and the people of Kuai Liang Village suppressed each other. As a ghost controller, Kuai Manzhou was not as seriously affected by the powerful ghosts as other ghost controllers.

But just because she didn't lose control doesn't mean there's no danger.

Zhao Fusheng had always kept her by his side and observed her secretly. At this time, she was willing to follow her to Fengmen Village, and Zhao Fusheng had no reason to refuse, both emotionally and rationally.

The big one and the small one here made decisions very quickly. Before Pang Zhixian could react, the two had already discussed it.

"But sir, how can an adult take action on such a trivial matter?"

Pang Zhixian was a little at a loss:
"It's just banditry. The disappearance of Guo Wei's family may not be related to bandits. Why do you bother me to go there in person?"

"It's best for us to do it."

Zhao Fusheng laughed lightly, murderous intent revealed in his eyes.

"We don't have money to hire soldiers from Shangzhou, and the poor also have the poor's anti-bandit methods-" After she finished speaking, she looked at Kuai Manzhou and smiled:

"Man Zhou said so?"

"Ok!"

The little girl nodded vigorously.

Magistrate Pang still wanted to speak, but Zhao Fusheng waved his hand:
"I have decided."

After the Kuai Liang Village ghost case was solved, Wan'an County had been peaceful for nearly two months - Zhao Fusheng guessed that this temporary calm in the county should be due to the patchwork of the plaque on the Demon Suppression Division.

"Anyway, our trip will take two or three days at the earliest, or five or six days at the leisure. We will be back soon."

Zhao Fusheng was not bragging when he said this.

Both she and Kuai Man Tuesday controlled disaster-level ghosts. The two ghost masters joined forces, and she had merit. No matter how difficult the matter in Fengmen Village was, Zhao Fusheng was confident that the incident would be resolved soon.

"You can help me take care of the county's government affairs during this period. With Lao Zhang here, there won't be any mistakes for the time being."

Zhang Chuanshi has mastered a very dangerous thing, and he still has the mark left by Zhao Fusheng on his back. As long as there are no major ghost cases in the county, with the power Zhang Chuanshi has now, he can suppress ordinary weird incidents.

What concerned her was the existence of paper figures.

This person is unpredictable and behaves strangely——

Thinking of this, she told Magistrate Pang:

"If there is anything you are unsure about then, go to Confucius Temple and ask Liu Yizhen to take action."

Liu Yizhen also has the ability to deal with fierce ghosts. He is also a member of the Demon Suppression Division. If something big happens during this period, he should also be able to help.

She explained in such detail that even though Magistrate Pang still wanted to persuade her, he knew that her decision could not be changed, so he nodded uneasily.

"Without further delay, you can go find Fan Bisheng and help me pack my bags. Manzhou and I will leave immediately."

Magistrate Pang nodded bravely.

"Sir," he didn't dare to delay, and was about to go find Fan Bisheng, but before leaving the house, he seemed to remember something:
"It's better to ask the government office to arrange for two people to accompany you on this trip."

He was afraid that Zhao Fusheng would refuse, so he quickly said:
"One is the messenger from Fengmen Village for Guo Wei, and he is also the messenger from that village and town. The other is the messenger who is responsible for traveling between the two places recently. He is familiar with the route."

Zhao Fusheng once said that when the Demon Suppression Division handles cases, it tries not to involve innocent handymen, and the main use of manpower is to use messengers.

But she decided to go to Fengmen Village not for the ghost case, but to suppress the local banditry. This matter was related to the county government, so after Magistrate Pang finished speaking, Zhao Fusheng did not refuse, but just nodded.

Pang Zhixian breathed a sigh of relief and went out.

Not long after, he found Fan Bisheng, who was handling government affairs at this time, and told him Zhao Fusheng's explanation.

Zhao Fusheng originally thought that Fan Bisheng would come to find him first, but he did not expect that Wu Shaochun would take the lead.

"Pang Zhixian said that your Excellency is going to Fengmen Village?"

He entered the side hall and bowed first, then asked directly what he wanted to say.

"Yes." Zhao Fusheng nodded.

Seeing that Wu Shaochun looked a little anxious, she vaguely guessed the reason why he came in to see her, so she couldn't help but get straight to the point:
"You want to go too?"

"Yes, my lord."

When Wu Shaochun saw that his idea was broken by her, he simply admitted:
"I have also been to Fengmen Village, and I am familiar with the area nearby. I can guide you." He said:

"I want to go with the adults and handle more cases——"

"Since you are here, Magistrate Pang should have told you that although there was a ghost case in Fengmen Village 43 years ago, my visit this time was on a temporary basis and not because of the ghost case." Zhao Fusheng replied to him. .

Wu Shaochun was very insistent:
"Pang Zhixian said that you went there because of banditry. I have a caregiver beside you. If I can help, I will help. If I can't help, I will hide by myself. I will never cause trouble to you."

Anyway, Zhao Fusheng went to Fengmen Village this time to rely on the power of Li Gui to solve the trouble simply, directly, and roughly. With her and Kuai Manzhou around, it would be difficult for Wu Shaochun to cause trouble.

She nodded:
"In that case, go and pack up and get in the car together later."

When Wu Shaochun saw that she had agreed, he couldn't help but be overjoyed and patted his chest:
"I have nothing to prepare, I can just leave."

Zhao Fusheng was not as free and easy as him, she still had things to do.

In addition to Fengmen Village being the birthplace of Kuai's daughter-in-law and having close contact with people in Huanggang Village, which attracted her attention, the words of Pang Zhixian also came to her heart.

43 years ago, a ghost case occurred in Fengmen Village.

She sent Wu Shaochun to wait in front of the door, and she got up and went to the place where the files and files were kept by the Demon Suppressing Division.

There were servants cleaning the wing, but when they saw her and Kuai Manzhou coming in, those servants quickly lowered their heads, packed up the buckets and rags, and quickly left, leaving the two of them in the wing.

Since his rebirth, Zhao Fusheng has spent most of his time in the Demon Suppressing Division in this archive room.

She often reads files, enriching her understanding of ghosts and the world from the ghost cases recorded by previous leaders of the order, so as to gain more vitality in the process of handling ghost cases in the future.

Fan Bisei was accustomed to observing people's actions, so the archives of the Demon Suppression Department were the first to be renovated and sorted out.

After half a year, the archives room at this time was completely different from when Zhao Fusheng first entered it.

The wing room has been expanded by more than half, and all the bookshelves have been replaced.

In front of each row of shelves, files are placed according to the year and month of the Han Dynasty.

"43 years ago——"

Zhao Fusheng muttered to himself, bypassing several rows of files, and quickly found the shelf marked "Records of the 203rd Year of the Han Dynasty".

There were not many ghost cases this year, and there were only three files.

She calmed down, casually pulled out a volume and held it in her hand.

"Fu Sheng, did something happen 43 years ago?"

A child's voice came from mid-air.

Zhao Fusheng did not raise his head.
