I become a god in another world

Chapter 347 Recruiting Manpower
Chapter 347

Yu Ping and the other two didn't dare to say a word after being scolded.

In fact, the people of Changping County were also wrongly accused. From any perspective, Ding Datong's reaction speed was considered fast.

Within a month, he was able to invite external assistance and take timely action. No matter which province or county the Demon Suppression Bureau was in, they would have to praise Ding Datong for being conscientious and responsible.

Unfortunately, this operation failed and a powerful ghost rider was killed.

"After finding the ghost fetus and temporarily placing it there, Ding Datong believed that December was the time when the ghost fetus would be born in accordance with the natural order. Once the evil ghost was born, disaster would ensue again."

He wrote a letter in person overnight, reporting the disaster in Fengning County and the death of the disaster-level ghost rider in the prefecture to the prefecture, and asked the prefecture to immediately send another person of at least the gold general level to resolve the disaster.

However, the provincial government did not have any generals above the gold level - Ding Datong was aware of this.

The reason why Ding Datong repeatedly asked General Jin to take action was that he wanted to use the provincial government to put pressure on the imperial capital.

"In fact, the ghost rider who died in Fengning County was sent by Kyoto to replace Lord Feng Guangchong of the Demon Suppression Department of the prefecture." Yu Ping said helplessly:
"Lord Feng is only a commander who controls evil spirits. After learning that the previous ghost controller had died, he could not act rashly. So he sent someone to write back to Ding Datong, saying that the woman would still have some time to give birth, and asked him to personally lead the team to send the woman to the capital."

"Sending disaster to the capital?"

Zhao Fusheng was stunned by Yu Ping's words. She curled her lips:
"This is really a tribute to the emperor in every possible way!"

Zhang Chuanshi winked and said:
"This general from the Demon Suppression Division knows how to give gifts."

"..."

Yu Ping showed an embarrassed look on his face and waved his hands quickly:
"The Imperial Capital is under the feet of the Emperor. The safety of the Emperor is of primary concern. Naturally, we are not really sending ghosts into the capital." He explained:

"It's my fault for not making it clear. Lord Feng meant that while Ding Datong was sending the ghost away, he was also sending a letter to the capital, requesting a gold general for support."

Both sides set out at the same time.

Ding Datong is leaving Xuzhou and General Jin is leaving Kyoto. It is very likely that the two sides will meet halfway and then find a way to resolve this ghost disaster.

When he received Feng Guangchong's reply, the chief official of the Changping County Lingsi was reluctant but had no choice.

He knew that the provincial government would not be able to solve this ghost case, so sending the case out of Xuzhou and trying to meet up with General Jin on the road was the safest method at the moment.

But this ghost case is really weird.

The ghosts had seen the three times the living dead became pregnant, but Ding Datong felt that these born ghost fetuses were not the real source of the ghost disaster.

So many people died, and the ghost riders all got into trouble, but there is still no clue as to the cause of this ghost disaster.

Fortunately, the disaster has been handed over. The blame will be borne by the provincial government and General Jin. Ding Datong only needs to be responsible for sending people out of Changping County, and most of the trouble will be solved.

After this case, he was already afraid of Changping County and wanted to leave. He just wanted to use this incident as an excuse to send "trouble" to see if he could find a way to make some arrangements and transfer back to the Imperial Capital to retire.

Once his mindset changed, Ding Datong was no longer filled with resistance and fear when handling this case again.

He made some preparations beforehand.

"Although the nun was still alive after being possessed by the ghost, she showed signs of death within two days."

Although she was still alive and moving around as usual, the signs of life were fading quickly.

Ding Datong suppressed his fear and tried every means to prolong the nun's life every day, not to mention her food, clothing, housing and transportation, he even used all kinds of folk health remedies.

"When we left Changping County, Ding Datong heard that a hundred-year-old Polygonum multiflorum had appeared somewhere, so he sent an envoy to dig it up."

Xia Misheng complained: "It's useless!"

Among the three brothers, he spoke less and was a little in awe of Zhao Fusheng at first, but when he saw that she looked calm and did not have the special sinister aura of a ghost rider, and that Yu Ping was talking to her as usual, he became much bolder.

At this moment, he couldn't hide his youthful nature and cursed. He secretly glanced at Zhao Fusheng, and when he saw that she didn't scold him, he was even happier:

"If this method worked, Ding Datong would have eaten it himself long ago."

"..." His words made Yu Ping's mouth twitch. He glared at him fiercely. He stuck out his tongue and lowered his head to act obediently.

Yu Ping stopped the young man with his eyes, and then continued:
"Ding Datong plans to go to the capital in person this time, leaving Huang Jin alone in Changping County—"

Xia Misheng added:
"Huang Jin is also a ghost rider, and the ghosts he rides are evil-level ghosts."

Yu Ping looked at his younger brother helplessly.

He is young by nature. After entering the Demon Suppression Division, he follows Zhong Yao. With the support of his elder brother, the Ghost Rider, he is also usually sought after by the envoys in the government office. He acts more capriciously than before. Although he has no bad intentions, he does not read people's faces well.

Fortunately, Zhao Fusheng had a good temper. Although he was a ghost rider, he was not affected by the evil spirits at all. His speech, expression and thinking were no different from those of ordinary people. This surprised Yu Ping.

Xia Misheng answered without her asking, but she did not scold him, which shows that she is very tolerant.

However, no matter how tolerant Zhao Fusheng was, Xia Misheng had to restrain herself, lest if she was angered, the three of them would find it difficult to leave Wan'an County.

Thinking of this, Yu Ping glared at Xia Misheng again, and then said:
"My brother——"

"Stop talking nonsense and continue talking about Ding Datong's plan." Zhao Fusheng had already seen through Yu Ping's thoughts. As soon as he opened his mouth, she interrupted him.

Yu Ping was startled, clasped his hands, and replied:
"Yes."

"Because this ghost case is special, Ding Datong is afraid of mistakes, so he plans to bring more people with him, and will also ask for help from other brothers in the Demon Suppression Division along the way."

It's said to be asking for help, but in fact it's dragging people into trouble.

The nun who was pregnant was a hot potato.

Being involved in such a strange case, once the disaster breaks out, life or death is unpredictable.

Yu Ping himself was also aware of this, and said with a twinkling look in his eyes:
"Before we set out, we were short of manpower, so Ding and Ding Datong sent the three of us brothers to Wan'an County for help. We would like to ask, ask Lord Zhao to lend a hand as well."

In fact, Ding Datong was planning to directly transfer people from Wan'an County's Demon Suppression Bureau to Changping County to provide assistance.

He is the general of the county government's Demon Suppression Department. In terms of status and rank, he is qualified to draw personnel from the county government's Demon Suppression Department.

However, taking on such a task was not friendly to Zhong Yao and the other two.

When the three of them arrived in Wan'an County, tested the strength of the door gods, and met Wu Shaochun who controlled a disaster-level ghost, they already knew that there was a high possibility that this mission would fail.

Not to mention completing the mission, even if he revealed the ghost case, he would probably be expelled by Wan'an County with an iron fist...

At this time, Yu Ping told everything in detail, and the entire county government fell into a long silence.

Everyone already knew the whole story of the case, so they could naturally guess what Changping County was planning.

"..." Zhang Chuanshi originally wanted to make a sarcastic remark, but he turned his head and looked around. Liu Yizhen was frowning, Fan Bisi was thoughtful, and Kuai Manzhou was leaning against Zhao Fusheng's chair, but he bent back and fell on her, staring at the three people in the field with his face upturned.

Wu Shaochun didn't say anything, and even the most reckless Fan Wujiu seemed to be aware of the solemn atmosphere and didn't speak rashly. The first bird to stick its head out gets shot, so Zhang Chuanshi immediately put his hands in his sleeves, shrank his neck, and pretended to be deaf and dumb and kept silent.

"What do you mean by help?" After a long while, Wu Shaochun couldn't help but ask:

"There are so many counties under the jurisdiction of Changping County, and there are also ghost riders from the Demon Suppression Division. Isn't the reason they came to our Wan'an County because of our status as masters?"

He mercilessly exposed Ding Datong's plan:

"The ghost fetus mark does not distinguish between men and women, but men will die immediately after being marked, while women can temporarily 'live'."

Ding Datong only wanted to ensure safety in this trip to send the ghost away, not to solve the problem, so he planned to find a few more women who could carry the ghost fetus to accompany him.

There are not many female ghost riders, but there happens to be one in Wan'an County under the jurisdiction of Changping County. This is why Zhong Yao and the other two came - it is more like "borrowing" a belly to carry a ghost fetus than "borrowing" a hand.

The mission these three people were assigned was not an easy one, but an offensive one, and the other party was a ghost rider - in Zheng He's report file on that day, it was mentioned that Zhao Fusheng was a ghost rider who controlled two powerful ghosts.

If they angered her, the three of them might lose their lives.

But Zhong Yao has already devoured two ghost fetuses, and the situation is unstable. The evil ghost may revive at any time. Ding Datong chose him because he wanted to move this unstable source of trouble away.

So the three of them came here to accept this mission, and they were actually holding back a lot of anger in their hearts, but this anger was suppressed after they witnessed the methods of the door god and Wu Shaochun's strength.

Faced with Wu Shaochun's accusations at this time, the three did not dare to say a word - it was because they felt guilty.

Zhao Fusheng was also very unhappy.

"This is really too much!" she said coldly.

Liu Yizhen also nodded:

"Indeed!"

As soon as she spoke, Wu Shaochun immediately stood up and said:

"Sir, they are going too far. We just don't want to go to Changping County. How dare Ding Datong do anything to us?!" After saying that, he turned his head and looked at Zhong Yao and the others with a fierce look in his eyes.

"..." Yu Ping and the other two immediately felt a heavy stone hanging in their hearts and looked nervous.

Zhao Fusheng said:

"I was transferred here and there without even sending a formal letter in advance to ask if I was going. It seems like I am too low-ranking!"

She sighed:
"You should have been promoted long ago. Since I took over Wan'an County, I have handled several cases. After all, I have made contributions—"

As he was speaking, Zhao Fusheng said indignantly:
"I am the one who pays my salary. The court should at least give me a golden general title and let me command Ding Datong!"

"..." Liu Yizhen, who was about to speak, suddenly had his words stuck in his throat.

Wu Shaochun's anger froze on his face:

"..."

Zhang Chuanshi scratched his cheek, recalling the boast Zhao Fusheng made in front of Su Long when everyone rode the ghost car back to forty years ago.

He is also a person who likes to show off and care about his reputation. At this moment, he couldn't help but mutter:
"Your Excellency is quite addicted to power..."

Zhao Fusheng glared at him as if warning, and Zhang Chuanshi immediately dared not say a word.

She looked at Yu Ping and the other two. They looked at each other, waiting to be punished. When they saw her turn around, they all straightened their backs.

"Which day are you leaving? What is the nun's condition like before you leave?" She asked two questions in succession.

Yu Ping glanced at Zhong Yao anxiously, somewhat confused about the purpose of Zhao Fusheng's question.

Now she already knew the whole story of the Changping County case, and understood why Ding Datong summoned her. She should also be aware of the dangers of this trip.

But she was still asking about the Night Crying Ghost case at this time. Could it be that she was willing to go together?

As soon as this thought came into Yu Ping's mind, he felt like he was going crazy.

Zhong Yao was also bewildered and lost, unable to give Yu Ping any hints, so he could only say tremblingly:
"The case in Fengning County occurred on the sixth day of the first lunar month in early November. It took Ding Datong another seven or eight days to communicate with the prefecture government."

After making the decision, Ding Datong immediately sent Zhong Yao and the other two to set off from Changping County without any delay.

However, Changping County is far away from Wan'an County. Even if you travel non-stop, it will still take five or six days.

Ding Datong himself knew that he was not doing the right thing, and was worried that Zhong Yao and the other two were pretending to obey and deliberately wasting time, so he set a deadline for them to return.

"The latest will be early December. Regardless of whether the plan succeeds or not, as long as we are alive, we have to return to Changping County, otherwise there will be problems with our soul and destiny book." Yu Ping said helplessly.

The three brothers did not delay on the journey, but they arrived in Wan'an County at an unfortunate time. Zhao Fusheng was out investigating a ghost case and did not return until today. As a result, they had to delay for a few days.

However, today is November 11th, which is not far from the date set by Ding Datong. If we turn back now, we can probably make it back within the deadline.

"…if the adults are willing to let the three of us go back." Yu Ping added.

Zhao Fusheng pondered for a moment.

"I already understand the situation. Anyway, it's still early for the deadline set by Ding Datong, so you should stay in Wan'an County for a while." Just as she finished speaking, footsteps were suddenly heard outside.

Magistrate Pang shouted with some excitement:
"My Lord, my Lord, is my Lord back?"

"came back."

Zhao Fusheng responded, and then said to Yu Ping and others:
"We still have things to discuss later, you guys go and rest." After saying that, he glanced at Yu Ping and the other two, and finally his gaze fell on Zhong Yao:
"Don't walk around randomly. If you want to leave the Demon Suppression Division, you must tell us in advance and have someone from our government accompany you."

She had not been dealing with the three men for a long time, but from the brief conversations with them, she could tell that they had left a good impression on her.

Although Zhong Yao can control ghosts, it can be seen from his eyes, words and actions that he has not completely lost control, and he is still acting seriously and responsibly. However, Zhong Yao can control ghosts after all, so Zhao Fusheng is not completely confident in him.

As soon as she finished speaking, the few people did not resist.

Wu Shaochun’s request was similar before. At this point, the three brothers had no mood to hang around and nodded one by one.

Magistrate Pang walked quickly into the hall. When he saw Zhao Fusheng, his eyes lit up. He was about to speak when Zhong Yao and the other two in the middle of the hall stood up tactfully and left the hall.

As soon as they left the hall, Yu Ping looked at Zhong Yao worriedly:
"Big brother-"

The deadline set by Ding Datong for returning to Changping County is approaching.

Even if they set out now, they would still need to travel day and night to get there, but Zhao Fusheng had no intention of letting them go back.

The law to suppress demons was strict, and matters related to ghosts could not be taken lightly at all.

The Soul Book restrains the three people. If they don't go back within the specified time, they will be attacked by the power of the ghost curse.
