I become a god in another world

Chapter 236 Theater Troupe News (5K update)

Chapter 236

Zhao Fusheng's trip lasted three days. When she returned to the Demon Suppression Division, Brother Fan Bisheng quickly learned the news in advance and waited in front of the gate of the Demon Suppression Division.

When the carriage stopped at the gate of the Zhenmo Division, Magistrate Pang, Xiao Fan and Zhang Chuanshi were all there.

After the carriage stopped, Zhao Fusheng got out of the car first, and then blood mist appeared, turning into Kuai Manzhou and following her.

For a while, there was no movement on the carriage.

The smiles on the faces of Pang Zhixian and others suddenly froze. After a long time, the old Zhixian showed a look of fear in his eyes:
"Sir, I vaguely remember that this time we went to Fengmen Village, did the military envoy also go with us?"

"Yes--"

Zhao Fusheng nodded:
"He didn't come back with us this time."

"..."

A registered envoy went out with the chief of the order but did not come back. The two Fan brothers looked at each other, and then a sad look appeared on Fan Bisheng's face:
"Shaochun is dead?"

"Hey, bring the body back again?" Zhang Chuanshi pretended to sigh:

"I still have a coffin."

In the past two months, there has been no ghost case in Wan'an County. The county has been strangely peaceful, and the business of Zhang Chuanshi's coffin shop has also declined.

Fortunately, he now joined the Demon Suppression Division and worked on several ghost cases with Zhao Fusheng. As the Wan'an County Demon Suppression Division gradually got on the right track, Zhang Chuanshi actually received a salary - now he can make a living without selling coffins. .

"...My lord, my condolences." Pang Zhixian was probably the most saddened by Wu Shaochun among the others.

After Zhao Fusheng took control of Wan'an County, he handled many cases, breaking the hundred-year rule of the Han Dynasty that the envoys must die in every ghost case. In several major ghost cases, the envoys who went with them were able to return alive. , this is the first time that Zhao Fusheng died outside.

Pangzhi County only thought that Wu Shaochun died in the bandit rebellion. He was about to shed two more tears when he heard Zhao Fusheng shake his head and say:
"What nonsense are you talking about?"

She was a little dumbfounded:
"There was an accident in Fengmen Village this time, and Shaochun was already controlling the ghost, so I asked him to stay in Changtiao Town to help Kong Youde clean up the aftermath and come back later."

"what?!"

When everyone heard this, their expressions suddenly changed.

Magistrate Pang was surprised and happy.

He was shocked that ghost trouble occurred again in Fengmen Village. This trip, which he thought was an ordinary bandit suppression, also had a ghost case;
The good news is that Wu Shaochun in the Demon Suppression Division can also control ghosts. The Demon Suppression Division in Wan'an County actually has another ghost control envoy, and his strength has been improved again. Overall, he is no less powerful than the Demon Demon Division in the prefectures and counties. .

"Sir, there is a ghost case in Fengmen Village?" Fan Bisheng was startled and exclaimed.

"Ah."

Zhao Fusheng nodded and patted the carriage twice:

"Guo Wei, come out."

"Guo Wei?" Although Pang Zhixian is old, his memory is good, and he immediately remembered Guo Wei's identity:
"He's here too?"

Zhao Fusheng's trip to Fengmen Village was originally because of Guo Wei. Pang Zhixian's mind was spinning quickly:
"Could it be that the ghost case you experienced this time happened at the Guo Wei family?"

"Correct."

Zhao Fusheng responded.

After she finished taking pictures of the carriage, there was a "whispering" sound inside the carriage, and then everyone saw a short, thin, middle-aged man with a timid temperament crawling out of the car.

Guo Wei has always been a coward. When he was in Fengmen Village, he was a being who didn't even dare to say hello loudly to others.

After experiencing this ghost disaster, his whole family died, and he was even more timid now.

He was wearing a set of old clothes that Kong Youde temporarily got for him from the police. They didn't fit well and were worn loosely on him. His chest was open, his ribs pressed against his skin, and he was as thin as a skeleton.

The Demon Suppression Division had a large number of people and their power was so great that his legs went weak when he saw them. He put his hands in his sleeves, lowered his head and followed Zhao Fusheng.

"His father was killed by village bandits. The evil ghost revived and killed his wife and children. Shaochun conquered the stove ghost, so I brought him back."

Zhao Fusheng explained, and then ordered Fan Bi to die:
"Find someone to clean up a room for him, find him two sets of clothes, and let him stay temporarily."

Fan Bisheng nodded, suppressed his inner curiosity, and asked Guo Wei to follow him and leave.

Everyone entered the hall and sat down one by one. Zhao Fusheng took a sip of hot tea and then gave an overview of his trip to Fengmen Village.

When he heard that Wu Shaochun was first branded as a door god by Zhao Fusheng, and that he successfully controlled ghosts with the help of the brand, and that his ghost was promoted to a higher level during the subsequent operation to suppress bandits, Fan Wujiu's face showed a complex expression of despair and regret.

He was still young and could not completely control his emotions. He looked disappointed at this moment, as if he was about to cry.

"The military envoy's trip was well worth it." Magistrate Pang sighed happily after hearing the cause and effect.

Zhao Fusheng nodded:
"We have eliminated the banditry in Huanggang and Fengmen villages, and then we asked Magistrate Pang to post notices to report the bandits."

She said:
"As long as someone reports it, it will be verified immediately. Once a bandit is confirmed, a certain reward will be given."

The banditry problem in Wan'an County is serious, but by killing the three people from the Zhenmo Division first and then arresting them, the banditry problem will be temporarily suppressed.

Moreover, providing a certain copper coin subsidy will greatly improve the courage of the people. When the gangsters are suppressed and do not dare to retaliate for a short period of time, it will be of great help to the subsequent governance work.

Pang Zhixian looked excited and responded.

These things that should have caused him great headaches were easily solved with Zhao Fusheng's simple but crude methods. He nodded and said:
"Don't worry, sir. I will handle the rest of the finishing touches."

"grown ups."

At this moment, Pang Qing suddenly said:
"I shouldn't interfere in this internal matter." He interrupted the conversation between his cousin and Zhao Fusheng:
"But now the treasury of the Wan'an County government and the Demon Suppression Division are not completely separated. All support comes from the lord's private treasury."

Pang Qing had also served as a county magistrate, so he naturally knew that it was necessary for Zhao Fusheng to propose follow-up work to clean up banditry.

But now he is just a bookkeeper. He has nothing to do with the people's livelihood in Wan'an County. He is in charge of Zhao Fusheng's money bag.

"Copycats are easy to eradicate, but it is not something that can be done in a short time to completely eradicate them. If you report them, you will get money, but I am afraid that the subsequent expenses will never end."

He said:
"Nowadays, your lord's private treasury is quite abundant."

After the ghost case in Baozhi County, Xu Yachen and others donated a lot of gold, which was successively shipped to Wan'an County in the following months.

When Zheng He came to seek refuge with Zhao Fusheng, he also showed a lot of sincerity.

"Currently, there are 2685 taels of silver and taels of gold registered in the register -"

"and many more."

Zhao Fusheng interrupted him:

"I remember that when I left the Demon-Suppressing Division a few days ago, we talked about the silver in the treasury. At that time, you roughly reported the property under my name. Silver was 3500 taels, gold was 13000 taels, soybeans, rice, wheat, etc. Three thousand catties——"

Her words made Pang Qing startled.

Zhang Chuanshi couldn't help but pinch his legs, feeling a numb scalp.

Er Fan didn't know where he found such a weirdo like Zhao Fusheng, with his meticulous mind and amazing memory.

She was careful about the ghost case, and it didn't matter if she could remember the subtle clues. It was really scary that she could also remember the figures of the house's accounts.

It's hard for anyone to get an advantage in her hands with such a character.

"My lord, you have such a good memory."

Pang Qing was a little happy after being stunned at first.

In fact, he was a little reluctant when he first became the accountant.

He read a lot of poetry and books, and initially thought about doing something big, but reality did not give him the opportunity to show off his talents.

The civil servants of the Han Dynasty had no confidence at all in front of the Demon-Suppressing Division.

From being shouted at by others to being beaten to death by the Ghost Controlling Commander, there is no way to complain.

When he was the county magistrate, he survived under the control of ghost masters, but after witnessing the horror of ghost cases, he could not resist at all.

After knowing the true cruelty of this world, Pang Qing just wanted to save the lives of his family and children in this world.

Therefore, after receiving a letter from his cousin saying that there was a powerful ghost control commander in Wan'an County and asking him to come and be the accountant, he did not hesitate to drag his family along with him.

After arriving, I found that Zhao Fusheng's temper was indeed as gentle as his cousin said. The process of getting along with her was simply unimaginable for Pang Qing.

It's just that human nature is inherently insatiable, and one must look forward to Shu.

After Pang Qing temporarily settled down in his life and was no longer under the shadow of evil ghosts, and no longer worried about dealing with ghost controllers as before, he couldn't help but regret that he was just a bookkeeper now.

He and his cousin were originally officials in the same dynasty, but now one is still an official and the other is white. Naturally, he felt that he would not have much confidence when he saw his cousin again.

But when Zhao Fusheng mentioned the amount of silver, she spoke with vigor and looked calm, and kept the property in her name in mind. Pang Qing's eyes lit up, and she felt that the accountant might not be as neglected as she thought.

At least Zhao Fusheng valued his work, had been paying attention to what he was doing, and remembered what he said.

Pang Qing's eyes lit up and he said:

"Sir, you must have noticed that there are two missing people in the lobby."

"Zheng He and Gu Jiansheng went to Yizhou?" Zhao Fusheng noticed that Zheng He and Gu Jiansheng were not in the house as soon as they came back. Otherwise, Gu Jiansheng would have been standing by her side attentively, and it would not be Zhang Chuanshi's turn to squeeze in. Reaching the chair closest to her.

"Yes."

Pang Zhixian noticed that his cousin straightened his back when speaking and his voice was louder than before.

He saw it and couldn't help but smile.

"It has been decided long ago that Deputy Order Zheng will lead a team to Yizhou to purchase timber. I have estimated the market situation in Yizhou."

Although Pang Qing didn't want to do this accounting job, he was cautious, conscientious and responsible. After taking up this position, he was also very attentive to the things he had to do. On the way to Wan'an County, he also made some preparations in advance. Check the prices of rice, oil, cloth, wood, wine and other items in various places so that you can have a good idea.

"We originally expected that a total of 500 pieces of wood would be needed to repair the shops and suppress the magic office, which would cost about 25,000 taels of silver."

When calculating the financial accounts, Zhao Fusheng was not impatient, but listened carefully.

Pang Qing had said these words before. She nodded slightly and Pang Qing said again:
"But I thought about it and found that Wan'an County needed a lot of things now. In addition to wood, I also made a list for Deputy Commander Zheng and asked him to buy according to the list. Therefore, I gave Deputy Commander Zheng a total of 3,000 taels of gold."

He explained:

"As for the reduction of silver taels, the servants and workers in the mansion spend their daily food purchases from it. I have made an account book and will submit it to your lord later."

"it is good."

Zhao Fusheng nodded.

Pang Qing breathed a sigh of relief when the previous accounts were cleared up, and he started to calculate new accounts:

"My lord's private treasury only has this amount of money, and it can only be withdrawn at the moment. If we want to arrest the remaining bandits, it will be another expense. It's fine in the short term, but in the long term -"

When he said this, he paused.

Although everyone was not very clear about the accounting issues, they also knew that if the money could only go out but not come in, Zhao Fusheng would sooner or later end up penniless again.

Fortunately, she is a ghost controller.

Fan Wujiu, who was on the sidelines, was simple-minded and made suggestions:

"It's better to ask the squires to donate some money."

Hearing what he said, Squire Yu Weide, who had come to greet Zhao Fusheng happily after hearing his return, couldn't sit still.

He didn't expect that while people were sitting in the hall, pots came from the sky.

But Fan Wujiu was the envoy of the Demon Suppression Division, so he couldn't afford to offend him.

The old squire neither dared to get angry nor speak out. He was desperately calculating in his mind how much wealth he still had and how much money he could squeeze out...

Just when he was feeling uneasy, Zhao Fusheng shook his head:

"No, donating money is not a long-term solution."

After saying that, she glanced at Yu Weide who was restless:
"Not to mention how can you obey others in everything?"

No one else in the hall spoke.

In fact, Lingsi has never encountered anyone who was short of money - Pang Qing had been an official for several years, and this was the first time he saw Lingsi, who was controlling ghosts, worried about money.

In his impression, no matter whether the ghost controller controls a big ghost or a small ghost, they are all extremely rich, with a level of luxury that ordinary people cannot even imagine.

Anyway, when these people have no money, they reach out to the gentry and wealthy merchants. These people dare not refuse to give, so they have to offer it with both hands and beg the commander to accept it.

"You still have to have your own way of making money."

Zhao Fusheng sighed and rejected Fan Wujiu's suggestion.

Her words made a huge stone fall in Yu Weide's heart, and then he felt endless gratitude.

The old squire was even a little frightened and stood up on his own initiative:

"What you said really touched my heart. I don't know how to repay you, but you are considerate. As citizens of Wan'an County, we are protected by you, so it is our duty to donate money."

He said:
"Now that you are short of money, why don't I take the lead and then--"

Zhao Fusheng shook his head and stretched out his hand to stop what he was going to say next:

"I don't want you to donate money for the time being, but we are really short of money now. If you want to help, you can sign a contract to rent a shop in advance and pay the rent."

This is also a method.

Yu Weide's heart hurts when he gives money, but he is afraid if Zhao Fusheng doesn't accept the money. Now she proposes this method to get the best of both worlds.

He breathed a sigh of relief and sat back down with peace of mind.

"By the way, when I was in Baozhi County, several gentry mentioned that they wanted to move to Wan'an County, and I remember Xu Yachen was among them."

Several months have passed since the case of the door god ghost broke out in Baozhi County, but the Xu family has not moved here.

On the way, I pretended to send people over to check the shops in Wan'an County, but so far there has been no real movement.

Zhao Fusheng's eyes fell on Yu Weide:
"Xu Yachen is not ready to fulfill his promise?"

"That's not it."

Yu Weide, who had just sat down, quickly stood up:
"The Lord mentioned this matter, and I just have something to say in reply."

"You said."

Zhao Fusheng was still afraid that these merchants would regret it. When he heard Yu Weide's words, it seemed that there was an inside story behind Xu Yachen's delay in coming.

"I don't know about the others, but this old friend of mine really admires your strength and is very willing to follow you."

In the meantime, Yu Weide corresponded with an old friend. Xu Yachen mentioned in the letter that the Xu family had a big business and that relocation would not happen in a short time.

He originally planned to go to Wan'an County with Zheng He, but before departure, Zheng He entrusted him with something.

"what's up?"

While Zhao Fusheng was asking questions, his mind was already busy.

She doesn't like to wait passively for answers. She likes to reason from the details and take the initiative in her own hands.

Zheng He and Xu Yachen were old acquaintances, and they were "old partners" who had known each other for a long time. It was not unusual for him to ask Xu Yachen to help him with something.

But Zheng He is not a fool, he should know his own character.

He had already agreed that Xu Yachen and others would move here, and had been waiting for the arrival of these merchants and gentry. Zheng He did not dare to stop him from doing something important.

Zheng He himself also defected to the Wan'an County Demon Suppression Division. In order to please Zhao Fusheng, the former deputy magistrate of Baozhi County did not hesitate to tear down the sign of the Baozhi County Demon Suppression Division. Naturally, he had no intention of retaining people for Baozhi County. .

So at this juncture, he asked Xu Yachen to handle matters, which delayed his relocation. The only possibility is that this matter is related to him.

Baozhi County Magistrate Zhao Fusheng only cares about two things:
One is the ghost carriage.

The second thing is the existence of Hongquan Theater Troupe.

Zheng He didn't know about the ghost carriage at Ding'an Tower - otherwise he wouldn't have been able to hold on for more than a month and would have packed up his bags and fled long ago.

After all possibilities are eliminated, there is only one possibility.

"Did something happen to the Hongquan Theater Troupe?"

Zhao Fusheng changed his mind and asked with a smile.

"Your Majesty is really a god. Why do you already know it before I say anything?"

Yu Weide was taken aback and bowed hurriedly.

Zhang Chuanshi, who was originally sitting in the chair, couldn't help but sit upright when he heard these words, and became very excited:

"Hongquan Troupe?"

Yu Weide nodded:
"Fu Ling Zheng previously entrusted my old friend's family to take care of the people of the Hongquan Theater Troupe and brought them to Wan'an County."

"That would be great!"

Zhang Chuanshi kicked his legs and felt a little happy:
"This troupe has always been famous, and the actress Sebring from his family back then was famous for a long time——"

"Old Zhang, you are such a bumpkin." Fan Wujiu couldn't help but laugh after hearing this:
"What year has Sebring been in the old calendar? Now the mainstay of their family is Little Bailing."

After all, he was young, and he was disappointed when he heard that Wu Shaochun controlled ghosts before, and soon showed an expression of joy:
"During the ghost case in Baozhi County, I heard it when the adults took us to handle the case. The opera was very good."

'whispering sound. ’

Zhang Chuanshi waved his hand at him, not bothering to argue with this kid.

When the troupe was mentioned, Pang Qing and others' expressions became more relaxed:

"The Hongquan Theater Troupe is really good. They even put on a stage in Beijing a few years ago."
