I become a god in another world

Chapter 29 Liu Family Past Events

Chapter 29

"Ugh."

The paper man sighed silently.

The wrinkles on his face squirmed, and he pursed his lips in resignation, signaling Zhao Fusheng to place the file on the table.

After a while, one of his sleeves shook twice, and a hand slowly came out of the sleeve and pointed the file in front of him.

This scene caught Zhao Fusheng's attention.

Compared to the paper man Zhang's face, which looks as if he is seventy or eighty years old, his hands are well-proportioned and his skin is white and flawless, just like a well-maintained twenty-something girl.

Zhao Fusheng's eyes fell on his fingertips, thinking of his strange and wide black sleeves, which seemed to hide something else.

To be able to raise such a pair of hands, the paper man Zhang must have used some secret method.

It's a pity that she just had the courage to lift up the paper man Zhang's sleeves, but she didn't see any clues.

She was thinking about something in her mind, but she said:

"You've got pretty good hands."

The paper man's expression remained unchanged, and he blocked Zhao Fusheng's provocation calmly:
"My family has been craftsmen for generations, and they do exquisite craftsmanship. Naturally, you should take good care of your hands."

He obviously didn't want to waste any more time on this topic. While speaking, he slowly spread the file with his fingers.

The two people with their own plans immediately stopped their verbal exchanges, and both turned their attention to the file.

It says: Dahan June 206...

"Yes, 40 years ago, my grandfather did join forces with the then demon-suppressing commander Si Sulong to solve the ghost disaster in the Liu family." He took a brief look and then raised his head to look at Zhao Fusheng.

This new Demon Suppressing Commander is really young, but unexpectedly not stupid, and gives Paper Man Zhang a vague feeling of being extremely difficult to deal with.

"You're here for the case in Begging Alley, right?"

Wan'an County was abandoned by the imperial court, and the current situation is not good. Many wealthy households in the county have moved away one after another. If this situation is allowed to worsen, Wan'an County will become a dead city in less than half a year at most.

"good."

When Zhao Fusheng saw that he did not read the file, he instead took the initiative to mention the ghost case in Beggar Alley. Apparently Zhang, the paper man, had been psychologically prepared for her arrival. He had previously pretended to intimidate Zhang Chuanshi, probably because he wanted to test his temperament and verify himself. As a person.

She wrapped the file again and said half-truthfully:
"You also know that as the Demon Suppressant Commander of Wan'an County, there are some things that I cannot escape -"

As she spoke, her eyes fell on the paper man Zhang's face, observing the expression on his face.

The Zhang family has a close relationship with the Demon Suppression Division, and Zhang must be clear about some of the Demon Suppression Division's laws.

When she said this, Paper Man Zhang did not refute. Zhao Fusheng sighed, and immediately realized that his guess was probably true.

Every once in a while, the Demon Suppression Department will have rules for solving ghost cases, which cannot be violated.

Fan Bisheng concealed this when talking to her at that time, probably because he wanted to coax her.

She took a deep breath, suppressed the unhappiness in her heart, and then said:

"I have to go to the begging alley, but I haven't really dealt with ghosts yet, so I don't have much confidence in this business."

The paper man Zhang nodded and said:

"You want to ask the ghost in the begging alley, want to know its identity and find out its killing rules?"

"Yes." Having said this, Zhao Fusheng naturally would not hide his purpose:

"I'm not strong yet, and I don't have much experience. It's my first time to deal with a ghost. It's best if I can drive it away. If not, of course I have to give priority to saving my life."

"That's natural." The paper man Zhang nodded in agreement.

"According to Brother Fan, there is a Confucius Temple on the street of Beggar Alley, and the predecessor of this Confucius Temple is the Liu Ancestral Hall. The Liu family was once haunted by ghosts. It was Su Long and Zhang Xiongwu who worked together to solve this ghost trouble. .”

Paper Man Zhang was not angry at Zhao Fusheng's direct address to his ancestors.

Most of the people who control ghosts are cruel and cruel, so calling people by their first names is not a big deal.

He thought for a while and suddenly asked:
"Do you think this ghost disaster is the ghost disaster 40 years ago?"

Zhao Fusheng did not answer his question, but changed his tone and said:

"I didn't get many clues about this ghost disaster from the past files, but I saw some interesting things." When Zhao Fusheng said this, the gloomy face of the paper man showed emotion for the first time. An expression of interest.

His eyebrows are slightly long and already gray, and the long hair at the end of his eyebrows droops slightly, making him look even more aged.

At this time, his eyebrows were raised, and the corners of his drooped mouth were raised reluctantly. He looked at Zhao Fusheng. Under the pale light, his smile seemed a little malicious:

"What did you see?" "Liu Huacheng, the head of the Liu family, was an official in his early years. He was appointed to the right supervisory department of Tingwei in Kyoto. He later abandoned his official position and returned to his hometown to take over as the head of the Liu family. Later, on his sixtieth birthday, Suddenly there was a ghost in the house."

The paper man Zhang's expression changed instantly.

His weird smile froze on his face, and a look of surprise quickly flashed across his eyes. Then his expression became cautious, and he looked at Zhao Fusheng with a hint of defensiveness.

"It seems that I guessed well."

When Zhao Fusheng saw him like this, he couldn't help but sigh:
"There is indeed a reason why Liu Huacheng resigned and returned to his hometown."

"I didn't expect you to be so smart. It seems that the Fan brothers were mistaken." The paper man Zhang shook his head and said:
"It seems that I am not unjust this time. I asked for it! I asked for it."

He sighed and continued:

"How did you guess that this terrible disaster in Beggar Alley was the same disaster 40 years ago?"

Zhao Fusheng met the paper man Zhang for the first time today, and she didn't know much about the old man's temperament. When she heard him ask this question, she instinctively felt a strange feeling in her heart, as if something was wrong.

She was cautious and trusted her own judgment. Once she realized something was wrong, she immediately did not answer his questions. Instead, she carefully recalled everything that happened after she met the old man.

After the two parties met, he immediately attacked Zhang Chuanshi, deliberately showing off his methods to intimidate himself, but in the end he was intimidated by her.

After that, he cooperated and even intentionally revealed part of the secret of making the 'ghost lantern' to her.

When he mentioned the past 40 years ago, he seemed to be well prepared, as if he had guessed her intention.

Most importantly, he mentioned the ghost case 40 years ago, as if he was deliberately guiding her to think and classify the two cases into one.

She suddenly became alert and became suspicious of the case in Beggar Alley.

"I think you merged the two ghost cases into one case because someone from the Confucius Temple came to ask for help a month ago and asked the Demon Suppressor to fulfill the agreement made 40 years ago, right?"

Seeing that she hadn't spoken for a long time, the paper man Zhang simply asked and answered himself, revealing the answer to the mystery.

"good."

Zhao Fusheng hesitated for a moment and nodded.

After Su Long dealt with this ghost disaster back then, he must have learned that one day the Liu family's ghost case would happen again. It must have been some agreement he made with Liu Huacheng back then, so no young man came 40 years later. Send a message, mentioning the past 40 years ago.

It was precisely because of this premise that when she heard that the Beggar Alley was haunted, she combined two cases from different eras into one, guessing that it was the same ghost.

She was quite confident in her speculation, but the reaction of the paper man Zhang made her vaguely uneasy.

Zhao Fusheng thought about his understanding of this case again and again, but could not find any flaws for the time being, so he had to temporarily endure the anxiety in his heart and listened to the paper man Zhang continue:

"You guessed it right. 40 years ago - my - grandfather did have a follow-up agreement with Su Long, who was the head of the Demon Suppression Division, when they were dealing with this ghost disaster."

He seemed a little out of breath and spoke in a long tone, but the words he spoke did not make up for Zhao Fusheng's uneasiness. However, she did not interrupt the paper man Zhang's words, but listened to him quietly.

"You did the right thing to come to me about this matter. In the entire Wan'an County, I am afraid that I am the only one who can answer your question now."

The paper man Zhang laughed twice. Under his droopy eyelids, his eyes shone in the pale light, giving people a malicious feeling.

"Speaking of this ghost case, we have to talk about Liu Huacheng, the head of the Liu family."

His eyes fell on the file held by Zhao Fusheng, and then he curled his lips:
"You must have a general understanding of this person's origins and background. In addition to the records in the file, Fan Bisheng should have told you a lot."

Zhao Fusheng nodded.

She heard something from Zhiren Zhang's words. The old man was not unfamiliar with the Fan brothers, and he also had a certain understanding of their temperaments. He was very sure that Fan Bisheng was the one who filed the case with her.

"I won't go into details. I'll start with what you think is wrong." After he said this, he paused for a moment:
"This former head of the Liu family can be considered a figure. He was once an official and was appointed as the Right Supervisor of the Tingwei Division. Do you know what kind of official the Right Supervisor is?"

Zhao Fusheng shook his head calmly.

Zhao Fusheng's original status was of a lowly status. If the paper man Zhang knew where she came from, he might have wiped out all the eighteen generations of her ancestors, so it would be useless to hide it.

What's more, she really doesn't know much about the official position of "Right Supervisor". It involves Liu Huacheng's past, and it will not hurt the case to find out more about it.

"The Right Supervisor of the Kyoto Tingwei - is in charge of prisons and judges cases and lawsuits." The paper man Zhang saw that her expression was calm and there was no trace of embarrassment or coyness. He couldn't help but frowned slightly, and then deeply He glanced at her:
"The head of the Liu family solved a case when he was in Kyoto and beheaded a prisoner."

When Zhao Fusheng heard this, he knew that this should be the crux of the problem.

Liu Huacheng's resignation and return to his hometown may be related to this case. Perhaps this case was the reason why his home was haunted on his birthday.

"After all, it's an old case decades ago. I don't know the specifics. I just know that after the prisoner died, the evil ghost immediately resurrected and caused a ghost disaster in Kyoto that was at least evil level!"

The paper man looked serious.

Zhao Fusheng's heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly remembered that in this file from 40 years ago, Su Long reminded him at the end: Commanders who do not control ghosts above the evil level should not set foot in the Liu family ancestral hall.

It turns out that decades ago, the ghost that haunted the Liu family had most likely reached the evil level.

　Happy Holidays everyone~~~
