I become a god in another world

Chapter 228 Ready to go
Chapter 228

"She caused the ghost case and caused the death of a family, but don't forget that she was not the culprit of this ghost case, and the evil ghost did not revive because of her!"

Zhao Fusheng's voice sounded in the lobby.

The villagers in Fengmen Village did not dare to speak out when they heard her words.

"Wu Laocai forcibly married a young girl by illegal means and forced an innocent woman to death, causing the evil ghost to resurrect. He is the perpetrator of the crime. You don't curse the murderer, but instead blame the victim. What's the point of this?!"

Old man Zhang looked stubborn and refused to listen to her.

The unhappiness in Zhao Fusheng's heart quickly disappeared.

She smiled and did not continue to argue with him.

Some people's ideas are affected by the general environment and have formed a set of self-perceptions long ago. They cannot change their minds just by relying on a few words from others.

Old Man Zhang's situation is even more complicated.

Zhao Fusheng waved to him and asked.

They dare not think carefully or deeply, and they dare not admit the dangers in the world, so they try every means to find reasons to blame the people who caused the disaster to vent their inner fears.

Zhao Fusheng sneered.

After she finished speaking, Old Man Zhang, who had been stubborn to talk back to her earlier, breathed a visible sigh of relief.

At this moment, he wished he could show his loyalty more, and quickly asked his wife and daughters-in-law to help him serve the soup.

Zhao Fusheng thought.

As soon as she finished eating, before she put the bowl down, there were footsteps outside.

Kong Youde entered the courtyard. When he heard Cao Dazong's words, he walked away and strode into the house. He turned around and looked around. When he saw Zhao Fusheng, his eyes lit up and he stepped forward and saluted:
"grown ups--"

He knew that the current head of the Wan'an County Demon Division was a young girl, but the moment he saw Zhao Fusheng, he was still shocked by Zhao Fusheng's age.

The officers and villagers all came forward to greet him. Several officers drove a skinny old man in with his feet covered in mud.

"Kong Youde should be here soon. Let's eat quickly. Once he arrives, we will immediately go to the mountains behind to look for the old grave where the Red Shoes Ghost Case was finally buried."

She put her hand into her pocket, subconsciously trying to touch the fish, but she only found a string of five copper coins.

"Fourth Master, Master Kong is here!"

Old Man Zhang was afraid that Zhao Fusheng would settle accounts in the future, so he was planning to deal with this matter. When he saw that Zhao Fusheng no longer mentioned this matter, he felt relieved. Out of fear, he nodded in agreement:
"I will lead the way after the adults have finished eating. I will definitely lead them there."

There was only one bowl of soup, and there was no salt in it, but everyone was so greedy that they swallowed their mouths.

He was so angry for a moment that he recalled the past events. Guilt and regret, disgust and blame for the Wu family, and fear of evil spirits all came to his heart, and he was overwhelmed by Zhao Fusheng's life and death.

This is really a deformed world.

However, the portion was limited, so only the three people working on the case from the Demon Suppressing Division were given priority to eat first. The remaining small bowl was given to Cao Dazong, who had not eaten even a drop of water after traveling all day.

Several children from the Zhang family stared at the bowl like wolves and tigers, with salivating expressions on their faces.

Zhao Fusheng slowly put the bowl down.

"Master Kong, Master Zhao is here, waiting for you to come."

Her face was still a bit immature, but her eyes held a calmness that didn't match her age.

Cao Dazong, who was licking the bowl, quickly wiped his mouth, put the bowl down, and shouted loudly:

He cannot accept that there are ghosts in the world, and that evil ghosts kill people indiscriminately - ghosts will not be merciful just because they are related to them during their lifetime, nor will they be lenient just because they are good people.

Wu Laocai from Huanggang Village is powerful and has an unexplained relationship with murderous bandits. No one dares to mess with such a villain;
In comparison, the Wu family was ugly and fierce, and she dared to beat her husband. Moreover, she was greedy and stole shoes, killing the entire Xu family. Naturally, she was guilty of a serious crime.

Although he was also a servant of the town's government office, his life was tight and he was not wealthy. At this time, he hid aside with the bowl in hand.

After fear, people cannot accept such a cruel reality, so they can only escape from the facts.

"money?"

The wild vegetables in this season were a little dry and bitter, and the corn was a little broken, but with the old man's pained and forced smile on his face, Zhao Fusheng still tasted delicious food from this bowl of vegetable soup.

This was a surprise to him.

Zhao Fusheng usually has someone to take care of his schedule when he goes out, and he has no habit of carrying money with him.

The more you understand this world, the more you will feel afraid.

She was too lazy to talk to people like Old Man Zhang and said directly:
"Okay, Zhang Laosan, you provided a useful clue."

Lin Laoba and others, who were so greedy that they swallowed their saliva, looked outside and saw a guard shouting:

The people from Changtiao Town are here.

When she said this, she turned to look at the outer courtyard. It was already getting dark, and she keenly heard the noisy footsteps coming from the distance. It seemed that a group of people were rushing in this direction.

Zhao Fusheng has been in control of the Demon Suppression Division for several months, and Magistrate Pang informed the people of each town about the new commander of the Demon Suppression Division when collecting taxes from the villages and towns this year.

"You came just in time. Do you have any money?"

Kong Youde only made slight eye contact with her, and then subconsciously moved away.

"My lord is in the house."

The old man was about sixty years old, his lips were so anxious that his skin was dry, and he had a goatee. His eyes swept across a group of villagers and policemen, and then asked:
"Where are the adults? Where are the adults from the Demon Suppression Division? Where are they?"

Kong Youde did not hesitate, with a flattering smile on his face:

"Rich, rich, the town has prepared a 'tea fee' for you. Before I left the town, I also ordered the people in the town to kill pigs and chickens to prepare drinks to entertain you. But this Fengmen Village is located in a It’s so remote that it’s hard to bring that money with you, so when you get back to town——”

This Kong Youde is also an old fritter.

According to his past experience, it is normal for the Demon Suppressing Commander to make money, and there are only a few who do not want money.

It is better to ask for money straight to the point like Zhao Fusheng than to not understand the background of these adults. Anyway, once the money is given away, the tax will be increased in the future and the people in the village and town will find ways to recover it.

"Stop talking nonsense, I only want ten dollars."

Zhao Fusheng interrupted Kong Youde and stretched out his hand to him.

"Ten, ten?"

Kong Youde was stunned for a moment, and he even picked out his ears in a rude manner: "Sir, do you want ten taels of gold?"

When he spoke, he turned to look at Cao Dazong. Cao Dazong was also at a loss and wondered if he had heard wrongly.

"My lord wants ten cents, do you have it?"

Wu Shaochun shook his head and asked.

He vaguely understood Zhao Fusheng's thoughts and touched his body while speaking, but unfortunately he didn't come up with any money.

If it were an ordinary police officer, it would be difficult to find ten coins on his body, but as the mayor of Changtiao Town, Kong Youde still found a money bag on his body.

But because the number was too small, he hesitated to hand it out:
"grown ups--"

"Bring it here."

Zhao Fusheng took the money bag, opened the rope at the mouth of the bag, grabbed a bunch of copper coins from the inside several times, counted ten coins, and then waved to Old Man Zhang:
"come over."

Old man Zhang didn't know what was going on and crawled forward on his knees. "Spread your hands." Zhao Fusheng gave a command, and Old Man Zhang made a move. She put the ten coins in her hand into his palm.

"this--"

This scene left everyone confused. Zhao Fusheng put away the money bag and threw it back in the direction of Kong Youde:

"These ten cents are for buying millet porridge. After the matter in Fengmen Village is settled, Kong Youde can go to the Demon-Suppressing Division and ask for the ten cents, just say it's my wish."

"..."

Everyone was stunned and looked dull.

Kong Youde was also dumbfounded, not understanding what kind of drama this was.

Since when did the Demon Suppressing Department have to pay for some wild vegetable porridge while working on a case? It was already a great favor not to let Zhang's family fetch eggs and stir-fry vegetables.

No one could react for a moment, and Old Man Zhang kept raising his hands, his body shaking non-stop.

"Okay, now that everyone is here, I'm going to set off immediately to find the old grave where Xie Jingsheng sealed the ghost 43 years ago."

Zhao Fusheng stood up:

"The ghost case of the Guo family has been solved. The other villagers can go home, but before leaving, I have something to remind everyone -"

When she said this, her eyes swept over the stunned old man Zhang and his family, Cao Dazong, Kong Youde, Lin Laoba and others one by one:

"After the Red Shoe Ghost case is dealt with, I will immediately go into the mountains to search for traces of bandits in nearby mountain villages."

Zhao Fusheng had a meaningful smile on his face and said:

"If you have channels, please inform them in advance. In the past, if there were those who committed crimes, they would not be held accountable. However, if you still persist in being persistent after learning the news, you will not regret taking the medicine."

She was greeting Lin Laoba, Old Man Zhang and others in advance.

The villagers were shocked when they heard her words.

Old Man Zhang's blood froze in an instant, and he was a little uneasy. Zhao Fusheng looked down at him and asked:
"Zhang Laosan, you are old, do you hear me clearly?"

"Listen, listen clearly." Old Man Zhang responded anxiously.

"Now that you heard me clearly, let's go."

She waved her hand and started calling names:
"Kong Youde, as the head of a town, Fengmen Village belongs to your scope, and you will go with him on this case."

Cao Dazong was old and had traveled a long distance yesterday and stayed up all night. Zhao Fusheng left him to rest in the village to recuperate, fearing that the old guard would die suddenly from overwork.

Among the villagers, she only brought Lin Laoba and five other young, strong and courageous ones. This was to win the favor of the villagers and prepare for recruiting handymen in the future.

……

After giving the instructions, someone suddenly asked:
"What should I do, Guo Dwarf?"

The speaker was a villager.

After coming out of Guo's house, he had been supporting Guo Wei. At this time, Zhao Fusheng arranged the whereabouts of everyone, but did not mention the sole survivor of the Guo family's ghost case.

The Guo family is in this situation now. After his father's death, the evil ghost revived, and the bones of his wife and children are still cold. Although Zhao Fusheng has eliminated the ghost trouble, who dares to go to the Guo family again at this time?
Old man Zhang, who was originally in a state of shock, shuddered when he heard the words "Guo Shorty". He silently held on to the money Zhao Fusheng gave him, and then thought of himself and the Guo family who had seen evil ghosts in the past. Living next to each other, I suddenly felt anxious.

"this--"

Zhao Fusheng frowned.

Wu Shaochun was somewhat sympathetic.

He subdued Li Gui in a ghost case in the Guo family, and Li Gui was Guo Wei's father during his lifetime. He had experienced Li Gui's life, had sympathized with its joy, anger, love and hate, and had a special emotion for Guo Wei - —Wu Shaochun looked at Guo Wei as if he were looking at his own son.

"Sir, he is alone now, and his family is so poor that he can't even afford food——"

Wu Shaochun helped intercede.

"Yes, pitiful, pitiful."

Zhao Fusheng nodded and sighed.

"Is there anyone in the village willing to help him?"

Zhao Fusheng asked.

Lin Laoba and others avoided her gaze, fearing that they would be found out for "poverty alleviation" if they briefly made eye contact with her.

Life is difficult for everyone these days. Even the landlord's family has no food left and cannot afford to support such a useless person.

"It's December now, and there's no harvest in the Guo family's fields. We can't sow rice seedlings until next year."

Wu Shaochun gave a subtle reminder.

"It seems that no one is willing to help him." Zhao Fusheng said when he saw that everyone was silent.

Guo Wei, who was already downcast, couldn't help but sob softly when he heard this. This cowardly look made Wu Shaochun frown.

"Did anyone lend him food?"

Zhao Fusheng asked again.

Still no one dared to say a word.

However, when Kong Youde from Changtiao Town heard this, he always felt a little embarrassed that no one answered the words of the Demon Suppressor. He was about to flatter him, but before he could speak, Zhao Fusheng turned to look at him, with a look in his eyes. A warning.

Kong Youde was also a human being, so this glance immediately turned his words back.

"Since no one is willing to help him, and no one is willing to lend food to Guo Wei, I have a way -"

Zhao Fusheng smiled and leaned over to look at Guo Wei, who was slumped on the ground:

"Guo Wei, something happened to your family. Do you still have money in your hand now?"

"No, no more, sir. Those who repay their debts must repay their debts. Li, Li Dahuzi took away the remaining money - I, what am I still doing? I might as well die -"

Guo Wei was so sad that he burst into tears.

"That's it."

Zhao Fusheng shook his head and sighed:

"You see, you are not very popular in the village. People are unwilling to help you or lend you food. I feel sorry for you. Why don't you come back to the county with me and help with some chores in the Demon Suppression Division? You are always indispensable for two meals a day."

Guo Wei originally thought he was cornered and had already made up his mind to die. When he heard Zhao Fusheng's words, he suddenly felt hopeful and wailed:
"Thank you sir, thank you so much for your grace to live -"

Wu Shaochun's face also showed a look of relief, and he smiled sheepishly:

"Thank you, sir."

Old man Zhang, who was originally worried that Guo Wei, the 'disaster', would remain at home and have a negative impact on the Zhang family, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he heard this.

He was quick-minded, stingy and greedy. When he heard that Guo Wei was going to the county, he couldn't help but start thinking about how to occupy the Guo family's residential land after he left.

……

After Zhao Fusheng dealt with these chores like a knife, he said to Old Man Zhang:

"See if you have any preparations. We will leave in half a quarter of an hour."
