I become a god in another world

Chapter 246 The truth comes to light
Chapter 246

The burning flames of the paper figures were blue-green, flying into the air with debris, illuminating Changchun Garden at night in an eerie light.

Everyone in the Xu family looked livid, frightened and frightened, and could not speak for a long time.

"..."

The source of the sour food in Changchun Garden was found. Under the investigation led by Zhao Fusheng, the mystery of the missing Hongquan Theater Troupe almost came to light.

Zhao Fusheng stopped talking nonsense.

Based on the confession of the servant who delivered the meal, they found the place where they last interacted with the troupe. They found several paper figures again and ripped open their abdomens one by one. The food that had long since gone rancid was spilled on the floor.

The 'resurrected' paper man had no attack power. After surviving the initial fear, the Xu family gradually suppressed their inner fear of such weirdness.

Zhao Fusheng saw that everyone was gradually returning to calm, and then he summoned the evil ghost who gave first and took later to appear and suppress the arm of the beggar ghost.

The two ghosts both hid with resentment. She rubbed her arms that had regained their warmth and ordered everyone:

"There should be some paper figures hiding. Find them and destroy them one by one."

The food that was delivered before was placed inside the paper figure, and the source of the sour smell was also hidden here.

Xu Yachen forced himself to calm down and winked at Huang Si. Huang Si nodded and personally ordered about ten people to clean up the paper figures.

The rest followed Zhao Fusheng into the main hall of Changchun Garden.

The hall was in a mess, boxes and cages had been opened, and torn gauze and satin were scattered all over the floor.

The fallen leaves outside the house blew in through the open doors and windows and fell on the tables and chairs.

Xu Yachen had several chairs cleared out. After everyone sat down one by one, he couldn't wait to ask:

"Sir, what on earth is going on?"

At this time, Xu Yachen felt like a big stone was hanging in his heart.

The truth behind the disappearance of the Hongquan Troupe was found, but new questions came to his mind:

"Did our Xu family offend someone, or -"

"I already know who the mastermind behind the scenes is." Zhao Fusheng shook his head.

Both the personal and physical evidence left over from this incident prove that it is inseparable from the paper man Zhang.

"The Hongquan Theater Troupe moved into Xu Mansion's Changchun Garden on the second day of October, and strangers entered the Xu family on the third day of the lunar month."

From this point of view, the paper man Zhang was staring at the Hongquan Opera Troupe from beginning to end, which naturally ruled out Xu Yachen's suspicion.

"This bitch——"

Xu Yachen glared and scolded the servant who was guarding the door. The servant was so frightened that his legs weakened and he fell to his knees.

"It has nothing to do with him."

Zhao Fusheng said calmly:

"That's a ghost master."

Regardless of whether the handyman neglected his duties or not, he was no match for a paper man.

"What's more, he provided important clues, which can be regarded as making up for his fault." She looked at Xu Yachen and meant something:
"The disappearance of the Hongquan Theater Troupe is of great concern, but I know that this matter has nothing to do with the Xu family, and I will not convict the Xu family——"

Similarly, if Xu Yachen knew right from wrong, he would also know that this matter had nothing to do with Menfang.

As for Menfang's crime of dereliction of duty, the Xu family has already punished him with small punishments and severe punishments, which has nothing to do with Zhao Fusheng.

"This matter was caused by my poor thinking, which implicated you, and also involved two young men from the Xu Mansion——"

Zhao Fusheng thought for a while:

"If your plan remains unchanged and you want to move to Wan'an County, you can choose a store near Zhenmosi and I will waive your rent and tax for half a year."

This was an unexpected surprise for Xu Yachen.

Since the disappearance of the Hongquan Opera Troupe, he has been unable to eat well and sleep restlessly, fearing that Zhao Fusheng would be angry with his Xu family.

Even though Zhao Fusheng showed up in Baozhi County without any harsh words, he was still worried. Now that he finally got her affirmative answer, Xu Yachen's heart finally fell back into his stomach.

As soon as he relaxed, the fear of hindsight came into his heart, even mixed with a hint of grievance.

"Sir, I——"

As soon as the old gentleman spoke, he couldn't help but choked up. The Xu family members beside him felt sad and kept rubbing his chest and back.

"Okay." Zhao Fusheng sighed:

"I've wronged you."

"When I work for adults, I don't dare to express my grievances. I am afraid that I will be clumsy, do things poorly and make adults angry." Xu Yachen wiped away tears.

Zhang Chuanshi tilted his head and said with a chuckle:
"You old man, knowing that I have a good temper, you deliberately followed suit."

Xu Yachen was not annoyed by his teasing. The Xu family successfully survived the disaster, and judging from this disaster, it was not entirely a bad thing.

At least he has formed a special friendship with Zhao Fusheng, which will definitely make this young man in charge of Wan'an County, who controls a disaster-level ghost, look at the Xu family in a new light in the future.

Thinking of this, Xu Yachen even felt a little excited in his heart.

"It really frightens the Xu family." Zhao Fusheng thought for a while:
"Since there are mistakes that need to be punished, then those who have merit must also be rewarded." She looked at Xu Yachen who was in tears and said with a smile:

"After the Xu family moved into Wan'an County, on the day of the opening of the mansion, I put a ghost seal on the door of the Xu mansion."

As soon as she finished saying this, before the Xu family could react, Zhang Chuanshi suddenly looked jealous and said sourly:

"You're so lucky, old fellow."

As soon as Xu Yachen heard Zhang Chuanshi's tone, he knew that the ghost mark mentioned by Zhao Fusheng was extraordinary.

Although he didn't know what it was, he still stood up immediately and saluted: "Thank you, sir."

Everyone in the Xu family didn't know what the magical function of this 'ghost seal' was, and they didn't dare to ask at this time. They just made up their minds to ask Zhang Chuanshi about it later.

……

While they were talking, Huang Si from outside came in to report that according to Zhao Fusheng's instructions, he had cleaned everything inside and outside Changchun Garden. No corners and crevices were spared, and the dead and rotten leaves had been sifted through again and again.

"...A total of 26 paper figures were found and all were destroyed one by one."

At the same time, it was confirmed that the rotten food in the paper man's belly should be food delivered since the evening of October 3rd.

"The case of the Hongquan Theater Troupe's disappearance in the Xu Mansion has been temporarily settled. What happened after that has nothing to do with the Xu family."

After finding out the case, Zhao Fusheng stood up and prepared to leave.

Xu Yachen quickly stepped forward to persuade him to stay:

"Your Excellency has come a long way, why don't you stay and let me be your host and greet your Excellency——"

"I still have something to do."

She glanced at the eager Xu family, then at Zhang Chuanshi who was following her step by step, and said with a smile:

"Well, if I don't stay for this meal, you won't be able to feel at ease."

"Yes, yes." The Xu family nodded quickly.

Zhao Fusheng said:

"I don't have time, so just ask Lao Zhang to stay and drink two drinks for me. Afterwards, you can send someone to take him back to the Demon Suppression Division to join me."

She could see the Xu family's plans and wanted to fulfill them.

The faces of the Xu family showed emotion. Zhang Chuanshi was willing, but he still pretended to refuse. After a few more polite words, Zhao Fusheng successfully escaped from the Xu Mansion and got on the carriage he came from.

"Go to Ding'an Building."

As soon as she got into the car, she immediately put away the smile on her face and whispered to the driver.

The coachman responded, and the carriage disappeared into the night as everyone in the Xu Mansion watched.

At this time, the Xu family was on the other side.

When Xu Yachen saw Zhao Fusheng leaving, he immediately straightened his back a lot and told Huang Si:
"Immediately ask the kitchen to bring out the best things in the house and greet Mr. Zhang."

After saying that, he smiled at Zhang Chuanshi again:

"Master Zhang, please come this way."

It has been several months since Zhang Chuanshi joined the Demon Suppression Department, during which time he also worked on several ghost cases with Zhao Fusheng.

Although you can get compliments and favors from the villagers when you enter a town or a village, compared to the greetings from country people, Xu Yachen's hospitality is undoubtedly much more comfortable.

"This is how people in the Demon Suppression Division should be treated..." Zhang Chuanshi thought happily.

At the same time, Xu Yachen's eldest son couldn't hold back his inner doubts and asked:
"Master Zhang, may I ask what the ghost mark that Master Zhao mentioned is..."

"Ghost Seal, I think you should also have an impression -"

Zhang Chuanshi is also a good person.

He knew in his heart why the Xu family was pursuing him in every possible way at this time, so he didn't show off too much and said:
"Last time we went back to Baozhi County, didn't you handle the case of two ghosts? Afterwards, you subdued the two ghosts who were above the disaster level and used them for her - "

"This pair of disaster-level ghosts can create ghost seals. Once the seal is formed, it can block the ghosts of the same level for a moment, and ghosts below the disaster level will be restrained by the ghost seal. When the time comes for you to move into a house, I will print it on your door. , Since then, all ghosts have escaped, and ordinary evil ghosts have been restrained as soon as they enter the house. Do you think this is the wealth that your Xu family has encountered? "

Zhang Chuanshi's tongue was like a lotus flower, which coaxed everyone in the Xu family to be elated. After everyone exchanged glances, they suppressed their expressions of ecstasy.

"Besides, there's something special about making ghost seals. We don't have enough people in the Demon Suppression Division."

He was surrounded by Xu Yachen and others and entered the house. His heart was filled with excitement and he was boasting:
"Those who control ghosts will suffer backlash if they use the power of ghosts. Although our masters are powerful and have the power to restrain ghosts and gods, after all, the ghost mark will be harmful to the body if touched too much. Now the ghost mark has only been used four times in total."

Zhang Chuanshi pointed out three fingers:

"One time it was the ghost that resurrected from the ghost mausoleum in Wan'an County, and the other time it was Zheng He, the deputy commander of your former Baozhi County."

His face became pale:
"Fu Ling Zheng was originally in charge of Baozhi County. He has been controlling ghosts for two years and is about to recover from ghosts. Do you all know that?"

Xu Yachen looked frightened and kept nodding.

Zheng He was indeed on the verge of the ghost's resurrection, and his condition was extremely unstable.

He was very restrained in front of Zhao Fusheng, but in front of other people he was sinister and ferocious, no different from a ghost. When Xu Yachen and other gentry dealt with him, they felt chilled to the bones.

"But after our master placed the ghost mark on him, he re-suppressed the evil ghost that was supposed to be about to revive, so Zheng He is no longer serving as a deputy commander and has come to Wan'an County to serve for you."

Xu Yachen's face showed longing, and his eldest son beside him could not hold back and asked:

"Master Zhang, what about the other two ghost seals? Who did you fight for?"

Zhang Chuanshi's mouth crooked, his mustache curled up and down, and he raised his chin:

"You may not know this person yet."

He failed at this, and Xu Yachen felt itchy. He hurriedly touched his body, pulled off a jade pendant, and stuffed it into Zhang Chuanshi's hand:

"Please give me some advice, Mr. Zhang."

Zhang Chuanshi's eyes widened when he saw the money.

As soon as I pinched the jade pendant, I suddenly smiled:

"This happened yesterday, Yu Weide probably hasn't had time to tell you yet."

Xu Yachen nodded eagerly and stared at him. Zhang Chuanshi said:

"When you sent the letter, your Excellency happened to be out on business. He went to a village under the jurisdiction of Wan'an County. A ghost case occurred in the village. Shaochun, the envoy who was traveling with him, helped him mark him as a ghost. Guess what?"

"what happened?"

Not only Xu Yachen was curious, but his descendants and a large group of slaves following them were also extremely curious.

Zhang Chuanshi was coaxed by these people's eyes and said:

"Shaochun has successfully controlled ghosts with the help of ghost seals!"

"what?!"

Xu Yachen was really shocked now.

Wan'an County, a mere place that was once abandoned by the imperial court, has undergone such a reversal in just six months.

Xu Yachen has been extremely concerned about the situation in Wan'an County since he saw Zhao Fusheng's ability in solving ghost cases and decided to move his family to Wan'an County.

In addition, he has an old friend who now lives in Wan'an County, and he has a better understanding of the situation of suppressing demons in the county than the average person.

Wan'an County Town Demon Division is completely different from what it was half a year ago.

As the commander, Zhao Fusheng could control the two ghosts (Xu Yachen and others did not know about the beggar ghost). In the following months, she successively accepted several commanders, including a new one. The envoy also succeeded in controlling the ghost.

In addition to the rumored little girl named Kuai Manzhou, another ghost controller, Zheng He, defected to her.

There are now three ghost controllers in a mere county town. This is a rare lineup among the states and counties of the Han Dynasty.

Now listening to the meaning of Zhang Chuanshi's words, Zhao Fusheng actually has a new ghost controller under his command - this is already a total of four ghost controllers.

"Wan'an County actually - actually -"

Xu Yachen was so surprised that he even stuttered when speaking.

"Four, four ghost masters——"

Huang Si also trembled.

Next to Xu Yachen, a middle-aged man wearing a lake green plain robe and a slightly stout figure came forward:

"Master Zhang, who was the last person to be given the ghost mark by Master?"

Zhang Chuanshi's eyebrows were filled with excitement when he heard this. He swept away the wilted look he had shown when he followed Zhao Fusheng into the garden before, showing a bit of a villain's pride, and pointed at the tip of his nose:

"It's far away, but it's so close."

"Yes... yes, Mr. Zhang?" Xu Yachen asked belatedly.

"Exactly!"

Zhang Chuanshi said proudly:

"Your Excellency, you feel sorry for me. During the ghost case in Kuai Liang Village, you were afraid that I would die and printed it for me in advance. I made great contributions to that ghost case. That case could not have been solved without me -"

Xu Yachen's face suddenly changed, and he looked at Zhang Chuanshi with admiration.

At first, he thought that this dry old man was arrogant and could only flirt with Zhao Fusheng, but now he didn't expect that this man actually had real abilities.

"Master Zhang is so heroic and heroic——"

"I just said that things have been going wrong for our family recently. As soon as Mr. Zhang and Mr. Zhao came, I felt that a lot of our family's bad luck had disappeared—"

Everyone surrounded Zhang Chuanshi with compliments, which made Zhang Chuanshi feel happy.

It has been a while since he was forced to enter the Demon Suppression Department. He has dealt with ghost cases several times and experienced nine deaths. Now he has finally found the feeling of being a fox who pretends to be a tiger.

"This is the life I want!" Zhang Chuanshi sighed inwardly, gradually getting lost in the praise of the Xu family.
