I become a god in another world

Chapter 243 A stranger in the house
Chapter 243

Zhao Fusheng narrowed his eyes:

"He does know how to do things."

Xu Yachen couldn't decide whether her words were a compliment or a sarcasm, so he had to smile and didn't dare to say anything.

Zhao Fusheng did not continue to ask this person, but turned to look at the others:

"There are six entrances and exits to the Xu family. Apart from him, where are the other doors?"

All the servants were standing in one place. When they saw her gaze, they all shrank their heads. Without time to exchange glances, they hurriedly shook their heads: "I haven't seen anyone go out."

Zhao Fusheng's purpose is not with these people.

After she got the answer from other people, she immediately turned her gaze back to the boy who got into trouble because of playing money, and stared at him for a long time.

The boy was gently touching his buttocks and hind legs with the back of his hands, standing up crookedly despite the pain. When he felt Zhao Fusheng's gaze, he couldn't help but feel horrified, and tried his best to straighten his back.

Xu Yachen also saw at this moment that Zhao Fusheng seemed to be paying the most attention to this boy. He was a little nervous and couldn't help but think wildly: Could it be that this person had done something behind his back and sent the Hongquan Theater Troupe out of the house on purpose? He lied to himself, but he didn't see the clues. At this time, Zhao Fusheng saw the flaw?
When Xu Yachen thought of this possibility, he felt as if his spine had been forcefully pulled away.

All the strength in his body was instantly exhausted, and his legs immediately softened and he collapsed to the ground.

Huang Si was originally staring at the door, but out of the corner of his eye he saw the old gentleman suddenly fainting, and hurriedly went to hug him.

"Master fainted——"

There was a commotion at the scene because of the accident.

Zhao Fusheng frowned.

Zhang Chuanshi's eyes kept falling on her, catching the subtle change in her expression, he stepped forward and said:

"This old guy will faint sooner or later, but he faints as soon as the case is heard. This is deliberately making trouble for you -"

When the Xu family heard what he said, they were all frightened.

Most of the commanders of the Demon Suppression Division have a reputation for being vicious, and there are countless people who kill people whenever they disagree.

When Huang Si was trembling with fear, Zhang Chuanshi came forward:

"Sir, let me treat him. I have experience in dealing with these people who pretend to be stunned!"

Zhao Fusheng nodded.

Zhang Chuanshi got her promise and shouted:
"Go away."

He walked forward with a lantern in hand. The Xu family servants scattered, but Xu Yachen's descendants did not dare to retreat. They hugged him in their arms. When they saw Zhang Chuanshi coming forward, they wanted to stop him but did not dare to. They could only cry and shout:

"Sir, spare my life——"

When Zhang Chuanshi held up a lamp, he saw that Xu Yachen's lower body was paralyzed on the ground, and his upper body was held in his son's arms. His face was like gold paper, and his breath was like a gossamer. It was not like he was pretending, but he had actually fainted.

He stretched out his right hand, folded the knuckles of his thumb, and pinched Xu Yachen's body with long and hard nails.

In the previous incident at the Ghost Tomb in Wan'an County, squire Yu Weide fainted out of fear of having his heart attacked, and he woke up in pain after being strangled to death by Zhang Chuanshi.

At that time, Yu Weide had been marked by the evil ghost and was still able to wake up, let alone Xu Yachen.

These two old friends, who have known each other for many years, are similar in age, and their situations are surprisingly similar in this regard.

As soon as Zhang Chuanshi's nails were pinched off, the old gentleman shivered in pain, groaned, and woke up as expected.

"Wake up, wake up--" Xu Yachen's family members were a little surprised when they saw that he was awake, and then felt a little distressed when they saw Xu Yachen's pinched lips.

At this moment, Xu Yachen had no time to care about this. As soon as he woke up, he immediately sat up, folded his hands, and saluted up and down:

"Sir, spare my life, I was really wronged——"

Zhao Fusheng was like a human spirit. When he heard Xu Yachen's words, he knew that he had misunderstood what he meant.

She shook her head:
"The causes and consequences of the disappearance of the troupe are still unclear. You are too worried." After she finished speaking, she ordered the Xu family to lift the old gentleman.

Seeing Xu Yachen's ugly face, Zhao Fusheng originally wanted to let him go back and rest, but Xu Yachen dared to leave without any worries before the matter came to light, and insisted on refusing to leave.

Zhao Fusheng let him follow him, then looked at the boy who was beaten for playing money:
"You mentioned something, saying that on the day of the incident, you locked the door before making money."

"Yes."

The servant nodded with a cry, "The door was indeed locked, but it was never opened."

When the Xu family heard this, they all gritted their teeth and glared hatefully at the young boy who had gotten into trouble because of his money playing.

Zhao Fusheng's expression was calm, without any emotion or anger:
"Why lock the door?"

Huang Si interjected:
"It's just to concentrate on making money, and I'm afraid that someone will come in and out and disturb him."

After Huang Siyi spoke, the boy didn't dare to say anything and just nodded.

Zhao Fusheng looked at the steward coldly, until he saw that the steward was frightened, and then said:
"It's definitely not a matter of a day or two for you to make money."

Gambling addiction is hard to break.

When she saw the boy, he only dared to lower his head and wipe his tears. He didn't dare to agree aloud, but he didn't deny it either.

"Have you locked the door before?"

The boy shook his head:

"I didn't dare before."

When he said this, Zhao Fusheng knew:
"Everything happens for a reason."

The Xu family has many imports and exports, and most of them are loosely managed. Although the people who guard the entrances and exits are low-vigilance and prone to gambling, the Xu family is also a big family after all. Most ordinary people are timid and fearful. Even if they know that the Xu family has a loose door, they will rarely Some people dare to come in and out privately - of course, some people who are particularly bold or have ulterior motives are not excluded.

"What did you discover before that caused you to lock the door?"

After Zhao Fusheng finished asking, he saw the boy paused and hesitated, so he added:
"Regardless of whether it happened on the day the troupe disappeared, you have to tell me. Only then will I know whether this matter has anything to do with you."

When she said this, Xu Yachen suddenly became anxious, pointed at the boy and shouted:
"Why don't you tell me the truth and don't lie to the adults!"

"Yes, yes!" the boy replied quickly:
"My lord, you are very discerning. There is indeed a reason why I locked the door in advance."

He recalled earlier events:

"About half a month ago, it was my turn to be on duty -" David Yan, who used to play cards with him that day, went home to see his mother-in-law. He had nothing to do. "I was a little sleepy after lunch, and I knew that at this time There are few people, so I’m going to take a nap and close my eyes for a while.”

When Xu Yachen heard this, he didn't understand why what happened half a month ago was related to the disappearance of the Hongquan Theater Troupe four days ago.

But Zhao Fusheng took charge of the situation as soon as he arrived. He did not dare to interrupt easily, so he listened patiently.

"In a daze, I seemed to see a strange old man entering the garden."

Under Zhao Fusheng's questioning, the boy did not dare to conceal:

"I have been guarding the gate for several years, and I have seen some blind dogs poking their heads in, but they would leave after being scolded."

When he saw that someone had the audacity to enter Xu's house, he immediately sat up in fright and stared wide-eyed.

Just when he was about to shout loudly, he realized that there was no weirdo in the garden?

"I woke up from my drowsiness at that time. After I locked the door, I picked up a pole and went out of the gate to check. However, the nearby gardens and rocks were all over the place, and there was no trace of the weird man. I wondered if I had gone away. Blinded -"

It is normal for people to be dazzled when they are sleepy.

"But I was too scared to go back to sleep. After that, I felt guilty. After my duty time was over, I ran to ask many people on duty in the house to see if any important items had been lost or if something had happened. What a big deal."

He was afraid that a moment of negligence would cause a disaster and lead to heavy liability.

But after he checked later, he found that nothing was missing in the house and everything was as usual. The strange man who came into the house that day seemed like he had a strange dream while he was half asleep. As time went by, the boy no longer felt at ease.

"But it's also strange. Since then, I have always felt panicked. I often stare at the direction where the person came in, and I always feel like someone is entering or leaving the house."

It's just human nature to want to have fun, especially those who like gambling, it's even harder for them to control themselves.

So in the next few days, when David Yan came to ask him to play for money as usual, he felt itchy and unbearable, but he was afraid of someone coming in and out, so he simply found a chain and locked the door tightly while he played for money.

So when someone comes in, they knock on the door.

"Someone is out and looking for me to unlock the door -"

Most of the people who left the house were servants and servants. Everyone knew each other. Although they would scold him, they would not bring this matter up for no reason.

After the boy finished explaining, his head was wilted and his face looked frightened.

Huang Si fell into memories:
"No wonder, no wonder—"

As soon as he spoke, Zhao Fusheng's eyes immediately turned to him, and he quickly said:
"More than half a month ago, David Yan from the mansion came to ask me if anything happened, if I bumped into the ladies or maids in the mansion carelessly, or if I lost anything."

At that time, Huang Si thought that the person who asked the question was deliberately trying to make fun of him, so he scolded him.

Now that we know the cause and effect, we understand the reason.

He gave the boy a hard look, and the man lowered his head in guilt.

"More than half a month ago?" Zhao Fusheng frowned slightly, and Huang Si said:
"It should be the third day of junior high school."

He is able to serve as a steward in such a large Xu Mansion. He does have some extraordinary abilities and his memory is better than ordinary people.

A small thing can be remembered immediately after the handyman mentions it.

Zhao Fusheng looked at Xu Yachen who was confused:

"On what day did the theater troupe enter the house?"

"Just the day before."

Before Xu Yachen could speak, his son standing next to him answered first.

"Yes, I did enter the house on the second day of junior high school."

Zhao Fusheng had a guess in his mind and looked at the boy again:

"You said that at noon on the third day of the lunar month, when you were half asleep and half awake, you saw a strange old man entering the house."

As soon as she finished speaking, the boy didn't dare to be sure and only said:

"Maybe I saw it wrong."

Zhao Fusheng did not refute him, but asked:
"What does the weird old man you see look like?"

While speaking, she turned to look at Zhang Chuanshi.

After Zhang Chuanshi pinched Xu Yachen awake, he followed her honestly. At this time, his neck was bent forward, his shoulders were clasped inward, and he was holding a lantern handle with both hands. His palms were unusually strong, and his whole body seemed tense for no reason.

This old man is quite unusual today.

He is cunning, cunning, and a bit talkative.

In addition to muttering a few words when leaving Wan'an County Zhenmo Si, he fell asleep all the way - this was completely opposite to his usual personality.

Until later when I met Zhang Sankui and said a few words, he seemed a little uneasy.

"Sir, what do you think I'm doing -"

Zhang Chuanshi seemed to be very alert and nervous at the moment, and he was paying special attention to Zhao Fusheng's gaze.

As soon as she turned her face, Zhang Chuanshi noticed it.

He forced himself to calm down and asked, but Zhao Fusheng didn't reply, just smiled coldly.

"..."

Zhang Chuanshi felt a little uneasy and wanted to speak. Finally, his lips moved, but he said nothing and just lowered his head.

The interaction between the two did not attract the attention of other people in the Xu family.

Everyone's attention was focused on Zhao Fusheng's question - she was asking the boy what the strange man he saw when he was half asleep and half awake was like him after he fell asleep at noon on the third day of October.

In fact, nothing was lost in the house, and nothing strange happened that day. Both Xu Yachen and the servant felt that seeing someone entering the house that day was an illusion.

But at this time, apart from the vastness of the world, Zhao Fusheng was the biggest.

The boy replied:

"My hair is messy, my head is a bit big, I'm wearing black clothes, and I'm walking like this -" After saying that, he forcibly held up his injured leg, which was in severe pain.

Standing up straight, he raised his hands and forearms to his chest and struck a pose: "Those sleeves are a bit big -"

After saying that, he shuddered again:
"It's weird anyway."

Everyone felt strange when they heard what he said.

If such an old man enters the house, everyone will be deeply impressed when they see him.

But except for the boy on duty that day, no one else saw such a strange man. Xu Yachen said:
"Sir, maybe this bitch has seen it wrong——"

"That's right."

When Zhao Fusheng heard this, he let out a long sigh:
"I think this is the reason why the Hongquan Troupe disappeared. I really can't blame you for this matter——"

When she said this, she stared at Zhang Chuanshi again.

Zhang Chuanshi suddenly remembered something.

Yesterday, when we were at the Magic Division in Wan'an County, everyone mentioned that the Hongquan Opera Troupe was missing. Kuai Manzhou just teased him at that time, which scared him badly.

After he complained, Zhao Fusheng did not uphold justice, but pointed out something, asking him to find his own reasons - and here is the reason.

When Zhang Chuanshi thought of this, he couldn't help but feel chills running down his back.

One is fear of Kuai Manzhou.

This little girl seems to act haphazardly, but in fact she is shrewd and seems to have great powers. She sees many things...

Secondly, he was even more afraid of Zhao Fusheng.

She is extremely shrewd and everything seems to be hidden from her eyes.

A Hongquan troupe disappeared. She had just heard a general idea, but she seemed to have already guessed the cause and effect.

When Zhang Chuanshi was sitting uneasy, Zhao Fusheng had already looked away, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

At the same time, Xu Yachen was relieved.

Zhao Fusheng's words made the Xu family feel like they had been granted amnesty. Xu Yachen said with some surprise:
"Sir, do you really mean what you say?"

"Nine times out of ten."

In the face of no substantive evidence, Zhao Fusheng did not insist on his words:
"When I went into the house and took a look, I could tell whether it was true or false."

As long as the paper man Zhang is still a ghost master and has not really turned into a ghost, then he must retain human characteristics.

Even though he has great supernatural powers, as long as he is a human being, he will always leave clues wherever he walks or stays. The Xu family has not discovered it yet, just because the Xu family is not sensitive to weird things.
