I become a god in another world

Chapter 342 Changping Seeks Help
Chapter 342

After Zhong Yao called the people, Zhao Fusheng stared at him for a long while, until he became uneasy. Then Zhao Fusheng nodded:

"Let's go inside first."

After she finished speaking, she turned to look at Meng Po:

"The case in Shilipo has come to an end for now. You have worked hard. Go back to your room and rest for a while."

Qiao Yuesheng's law involves ghost dreams. Everyone is trapped in the dream and goes to Liu Huacheng's birthday party forty years ago. They don't know how much time has passed.

Meng Po consumed a lot of energy in this ghost case.

Her situation was different from that of Kuai Manzhou, who was riding ghosts. She looked tired after the trip.

As soon as Zhao Fusheng finished speaking, Meng Po no longer forced herself to speak and nodded:

"I'm old and don't have enough energy. I'll go back and take a rest. When I wake up, I'll study my soup--"

When she mentioned her "soup", Zhang Chuanshi shuddered subconsciously, and Fan Wujiu beside him said curiously:

"Old Zhang, why are you shaking? Meng Po is old, but why are you so weak?" After saying that, he sighed again:
"If I had known earlier that this ghost case should have been handled by me and the adults, I would have been young and strong, I could carry and lift things, and I could also ride in the ghost car."

"You know shit!" Zhang Chuanshi glanced at Meng Po again. He wanted to scold Fan Wujiu, but was afraid of offending the old woman, so he could only glare at Fan Wujiu impatiently:
"Go away, kid."

While the two were talking, Zhong Yao and the other two did not dare to say a word.

Meng Po temporarily retreated to the side room, and the others followed Zhao Fusheng into the hall.

Everyone took their seats one by one. The servant brought tea. Zhao Fusheng held the cup and took a sip of hot tea, feeling the heat spreading throughout his body. His tense nerves gradually relaxed and most of his fatigue was immediately driven away.

She closed her eyes slightly, and when she opened them after a long while, she glanced at Zhong Yao and the other two, and signaled the servant to bring three stools for them.

After she begged them to do so, they reluctantly sat down.

"Are you from Changping County?" She adjusted her sitting position to be comfortable, looked at Zhong Yao and asked.

Zhong Yao nodded modestly.

She did not speak in a harsh tone, nor did she have the sinister aura that is typical of a ghost handler. Instead, she seemed like an ordinary person, so gentle that it was a little abnormal.

"When did you come?" Zhao Fusheng turned and asked Wu Shaochun.

Wu Shaochun replied:

"I entered the city five days ago. After entering the city, I went to the Xu family and disturbed the door god's mark."

He did not hide the truth for them. As soon as he finished speaking, Zhong Yao and the other two became visibly uneasy. They pressed and unsealed their knees and wanted to stand up and admit their mistakes several times, but they did not dare to interrupt the conversation.

The ghost rider has a violent temper.

If someone were to provoke her without knowing what's good for her, Zhong Yao couldn't guarantee that she wouldn't kill him.

He also did not think that what he did was wrong. The only mistake was that he was not as skilled as others - he was neither a match for the door god's imprint in front of Xu's house, nor a match for Wu Shaochun. At this time, he could only let the other party deal with him.

While Zhong Yao was feeling uneasy, Zhao Fusheng was not angry, but thoughtful:
"I came here on the day I left the city?" Seeing Wu Shaochun nod, she sighed:
"This time the Shilipo ghost case was really thrilling. It actually took five days."

Seeing that she was not furious, Zhong Yao felt a little relieved and turned back to look at Yu Ping and the other two. There was fear in the eyes of the three of them.

"Why did Changping County send you here?" Zhao Fusheng pretended not to notice their expressions and went straight to the point.

After she asked, she saw that Zhong Yao was a little hesitant, and her expression turned cold:
"Answer whatever I ask, and don't let me ask you a second time. I just finished a case and I don't have time to play dumb with you."

Zhong Yao's heart trembled, and she quickly lowered her head and responded:
"Yes."

After finishing speaking, he said:

"The three of us brothers are all envoys of the Demon Suppression Division of Changping Prefecture. The current general of the prefecture is named Ding Datong. He sent us to Wan'an County to find out the current situation in the county."

More than half a year has passed since the death of Zhao Qiming in Wan'an County. It is no secret that the county magistrate was replaced after the Baozhi ghost case.

It was normal that Changping County did not send anyone to investigate until this time.

Zhao Fusheng nodded, motioning him to continue.

Zhong Yao said with gritted teeth:
"In addition to wanting to know about things related to Lord Zhao, Ding Datong also told me something when we left the county."

Earlier, Fan Bisi and Wu Shaochun had guessed that the Changping County Government must have other purposes in sending people here, but since Zhao Fusheng had not returned, the two pretended not to know and did not ask any further questions.

After Zhong Yao said this, she saw that everyone looked normal, and she felt uneasy.

Everyone hates anything to do with ghosts.

For most ghost hunters, when they hear about a ghost case, they will try to make the best of it.

After Zhong Yao finished speaking, she secretly raised her eyes to see Zhao Fusheng's expression, but saw that she was staring at her.

When their eyes met, Zhong Yao's heart trembled, and she instinctively looked away, not daring to look Zhao Fusheng in the face.

"What's the matter?" Zhao Fusheng was not angry, but just asked calmly.

"Yes, I want to ask Lord Zhao for help--" Zhong Yao stuttered.

After he finished speaking, the hall was silent for a while.

This silence made several people feel a little uneasy. After a long while, Zhao Fusheng said:

"You didn't even explain the whole thing, you just asked me to help. How would I know what I was asked to help with?"

She didn't get angry on the spot, nor did she refuse, which made Yu Ping feel greatly relieved.

Zhong Yao was, after all, under the influence of a fierce ghost. Although his ghost was restrained, dealing with people was not his forte. Therefore, he glanced at Yu Ping and said to Zhao Fusheng:
"Your Excellency is right, but my brother knows the whole story."

After saying that, he pointed at Yu Ping.

Zhao Fusheng's eyes fell on Yu Ping:
"Yu Ping?"

"Yes." Yu Ping nodded.

He was steady and good at dealing with people. While answering, he took out a box from his arms, stood up tentatively, and raised the box above his head:
"This is the Soul Fate Book of the three of us—"

His original intention was to say this and get Zhao Fusheng's promise, then take the initiative to step forward with the box in his hand.

But before he could finish his words, a small pool of blood suddenly gathered on the roof beam above his head.

The blood droplets dripped silently, leaving a thin line of blood, and fell on the Soul Book with a "plop".

This sudden change shocked Yu Ping so much that his whole body trembled. The blood contained a powerful ghostly aura. His hands trembled and loosened, and the Soul and Life Book slipped from his hands.

He hurriedly tried to reach out and grab it again, but the box did not fall to the ground after it slipped out of his hand. The strange blood beads seemed to be alive, sucking the box containing the Soul Book tightly.

The ghost book in the box sensed the breath of the evil ghost and revived instantly.

Dense ghost curses emerged from the surface of the box and immediately swallowed up the box.

The box was made of ordinary material. Once covered by the ghost language, it immediately turned into powder and scattered, revealing the jade book inside.

As dense ghost curses emerged, three black and red ghost shadows appeared on the ghost book.

Jia Yi, who controls the Book of Souls and Destiny, is extraordinary. However, the Book of Souls and Destiny in the hands of Zhong Yao and the other two is just the clone of an evil ghost, and it is far away from the capital.

The one who seized the Book of Souls and Life was Kuai Manzhou, who controlled two disaster-level evil spirits. As soon as the ghost revived, the little girl just snorted softly.

Her eyes quickly turned from black to red and she moved her fingers.

The blood beads covering the ghost book were spinning back and forth like on a lotus leaf, wiping out the revived ghost curses wherever they went.

As the blood beads rolled, the ghost thread that was tied to the blood beads also shook, and the Soul Book was at the mercy of this force, spinning in the air.

With each rotation, the pitch-black ghost thread would wrap around the Soul and Fate Book one more time, and in an instant it would suppress the Soul and Fate Book and bind it tightly.

The little girl stretched out her hand and grabbed the air, and the ghost thread along with the suppressed Soul Book flew into the air, and was caught in her palm with a "snap".

When she brought it here, the evil spirit on it dissipated, and the black lines and blood beads disappeared in an instant. Then she handed it to Zhao Fusheng.

Kuai Manzhou's move shocked the three people from Changping County who were already honest.

Zhao Fusheng took the Soul Fate Book, looked at the three names on it, nodded, and then asked:

"Is the case that Changping County wants you to handle related to ghosts?"

Yu Ping squeezed his legs together, supported his knees with his palms, and his expression became more respectful:

"Yes."

He said:
"Actually, this matter is so strange that it's not accurate to call it a ghost case."

Zhao Fusheng became interested when he heard this:
"How do you say this?"

"If you have time, please listen to me start from the source," Yu Ping said cautiously.

He was good at dealing with people, but what he feared most was that the other party would not give him a chance to speak. Seeing that Zhao Fusheng was willing to communicate with him, he felt much more at ease.

"You say." Zhao Fusheng nodded in agreement.

"To explain this in detail, we have to start from March of this year." Yu Ping took a deep breath, adjusted his stiff sitting posture calmly, and quickly organized his words in his mind, trying to explain the matter completely and quickly:
"In March, the Demon Suppression Division of Changping Prefecture arrested a man. They said that this man had strange whereabouts and was peeking out of the gate of the prefecture, and he seemed to have bad intentions."

When he said this, Liu Yizhen, who was sitting against the coffin, couldn't help but laugh and cry.

In the Han Dynasty, no matter in which prefecture, county or city, the Demon Suppression Division was the most powerful one and no local government dared to provoke it.

In a county as large as this, even if the people are extremely bold and dare to charge the government, they will never dare to disrespect the Demon Suppression Division.

"After he was arrested, he cried out that he was innocent and said he would report the case." Yu Ping also thought his statement was a little funny. He was afraid that he would offend others by saying too much, so he was eager to get to the point:

"Ding Datong from our prefecture has a bad temper, but he is a decent person. When he heard about the case, he ordered the officials in the prefecture to record it."

Anyway, whether the case can be handled or not is secondary. Just record it first. If it can be handled, then go and have a try. The number of cases that the Imperial Court's Demon Suppression Office requires prefectures and counties to handle is greater than that of county governments. Every year, prefectures and counties will take on cases and then select simple ghost cases that are suitable for investigation in order to save their lives.

Originally this was just a normal case handling process. After interrogation, it was learned that the man who was wandering in front of the gate of the Demon Suppression Prefecture was named Zhou, also known as Zhou Laojiu, and lived in Liuxi Alley in the city.

It was on the west side of the county government, close to the west gate of the city, where many poor people lived.

"This man is the ninth child in his family and lives in the same alley as his family. He reported the case because he suspected that his daughter-in-law was dead."

When Yu Ping said this, all the participants in the Wan'an County Demon Suppression Bureau showed interest on their faces.

This look gave him the feeling that he was telling a story rather than a ghost story.

What an oddity!

In the past, when people in Changping County mentioned ghost cases, most of them felt as if they had lost their parents - because they knew that being involved in a ghost case meant someone would die.

It's nothing like Wan'an County, where not only are there many ghost handlers, but when they hear about ghost cases, they are not afraid and listen with great interest.

Yu Ping scratched his cheek uncomfortably. When he paused, Fan Wujiu could not help but urged:
"Go on."

Yu Ping was a little flustered by the urging, so he had to continue:

"We all found it strange when we heard this. If a person is alive, he is alive. If he is dead, he is dead. What does it mean to be 'suspected of being dead'?"

Zhou Laojiu said at the time:

"She was still the same as usual, eating, sleeping and talking normally, but she didn't look like a living person. She had no body temperature and was not breathing."

One night, Zhou Laojiu suddenly woke up, turned his head and saw his wife lying next to him, staring at him with wide eyes.

The Zhou family’s house was dilapidated. That night the moon was bright and the stars were shining brightly, with moonlight shining through the dilapidated roof and cracks in the walls.

On the dark bed, the woman stared at the sleeping man with her eyes open.

They were a very close couple, but at that moment Zhou Laojiu was almost frightened to death.

"At that time, Zhou Laojiu said that his wife's eyes were wide open, but seemed to be covered by a layer of film, not very clear." Zhou Laojiu was so frightened at the time that he spoke incoherently. These descriptions were summarized by Yu Ping based on his account at the time.

"But when he woke up, the membrane in his wife's eyes was squeezed open, and she stood up and asked him if he had a nightmare."

The files of Changping County recorded Zhou Laojiu's words in detail. He mentioned his feelings at the time: the woman's hands were cold, like a dead person's, and her skin and bones were very hard, which scared him.

When Yu Ping said this, Zhao Fusheng asked:
"Was Zhou Laojiu in good condition at that time?"

Her words hit the core of the question.

Most villagers have low levels of knowledge, and sometimes what they say may not be true. They may even have fantasies out of fear and then talk nonsense.

Yu Ping nodded:

"Mr. Ding also considered what you said at the time. After all, when it comes to ghost cases, most people involved must die."

If Zhou Laojiu's wife is really dead and has resurrected as a ghost, then there is a high probability that Zhou Laojiu will not be able to survive if he lives with her day and night, let alone come to the Demon Suppression Division to report the case alive.

"So after he finished telling us about the case, we also checked him and found that he had a heart pulse. Although he was frightened, he was still conscious and did not seem to be insane." Yu Ping said honestly:
"But if he was normal, how could he dare to come to the Demon Suppression Department to report a false case? So Lord Ding decided to send a few envoys to accompany him and decided to go back with him to take a look."

"The envoy who was accompanying him at that time..." Yu Ping said this and turned to look at Zhong Yao. Zhong Yao nodded slightly and took the initiative to speak:
"It's just the three of us brothers."
