I become a god in another world

Chapter 353: Ghost Case Reappears
Chapter 353

The files of the Wan'an County Demon Suppression Bureau also noted that Xie Jingsheng had an extraordinary background.

He had a backer in the Imperial Capital and was once a county official. He was transferred to Wan'an County in a time of crisis. He eventually successfully solved the Red Shoes Ghost Case and saved more than a thousand lives in Fengmen Village.

It’s just that he was already a person from 43 years ago.

Not to mention the generally short-lived ghost riders, even an ordinary person would have been already old after 43 years from his prime. What's worse, some would not even live to such an old age in this world and die early, with the grass on their graves as tall as a person.

"No matter what, if Ding Datong's news is true, and if the general Jin who was picked up by the imperial capital is really surnamed Xie, then this person should have some connection with Xie Jingsheng back then."

Maybe both parties are from the same clan.

When it comes to ghost cases, even counties would record files after handling the cases for future ghost handlers to refer to and learn from. So when Xie Jingsheng finished handling the ghost cases and returned to the capital after his term of office in Wan'an County, he would definitely record the cases he handled in a file and leave them to the descendants of the Xie family.

Moreover, the files left in the Demon Suppression Bureau may only record the general situation, but the files left to the Xie family will definitely be much more detailed.

"If that's the case, we can ask him about what happened when Xie Jingsheng handled the ghost case in Fengmen Village."

As soon as Zhao Fusheng finished speaking, Meng Po immediately said:

"I want to go with you, my Lord!"

Her tone was firm and her eyes were fixed on Zhao Fusheng.

"..."

Wu Shaochun, who was standing by, didn't feel happy for long before he felt like the sky was falling when he heard these words.

He was one of the participants in the Guo family ghost case in Fengmen Village. He was also at the scene when Zhao Fusheng inquired about the red shoes ghost case of that year. Later, he heard that this case was most likely related to Meng Po's missing daughter that year.

Over the years, Meng Po has been trying to find out the whereabouts of her daughter, including joining the Demon Suppression Division because Zhao Fusheng had uncovered the Red Shoes Ghost Case.

Now the case in Changping County involves the Xie family, and the Xie family is very likely the family that Xie Jingsheng belonged to back then. In this case, Meng Po will definitely not let go of the opportunity to go along.

It was not logical for Wu Shaochun to force Meng Po to keep her promise.

Wu Shaochun is about to break.

"Okay." Zhao Fusheng nodded, then looked at Wu Shaochun again. He saw that his eyes were dim and his whole body was as pale as a frost-bitten eggplant.

Meng Po felt relieved when she heard her agreement.

Then she noticed Zhao Fusheng's gaze, and followed his line of sight to see Wu Shaochun's wilted look. As the fierce aura faded, guilt and guilty conscience suddenly surged into her heart again:

"Shaochun, I'm sorry——"

Meng Po sighed:

"I, I can't help it—"

"I understand." Wu Shaochun pretended to be strong and forced a smile:
"It's not your fault, it's just an unfortunate coincidence. It's also good to stay in Wan'an County. It's one less ghost case to deal with. Anyway, I've been to Wan'an County before, so I can do whatever I want, Meng Po, don't you think?"

The more he said this, the more guilty Meng Po felt.

Zhang Chuanshi sighed:
"Young people, your thoughts are different. Yizhen, look at this——"

Liu Yizhen didn't expect that he would be talked about even when he was sitting.

He was not angered by Zhang Chuanshi. Compared with Fan Wujiu who was easily angered, he was much calmer. He smiled when he heard the words:
"Shaochun is really good. He handles cases without any hesitation."

He used Wu Shaochun to tease Zhang Chuanshi:
"Master Zhang is indeed experienced. I'm sure that next time we handle a ghost case, Master Zhang will definitely actively participate."

"..."

Zhang Chuanshi was ridiculed by him, and only then did he realize that this usually silent young man had a sharp tongue and was not easy to mess with.

He was quite thick-skinned. He snorted, put his hands up in his sleeves, and stopped arguing with Liu Yizhen.

"Let's arrange it this way for now."

Zhao Fusheng also breathed a sigh of relief and decided on the people who would be traveling.

"We are investigating a case anyway. It would be great if we could solve an old case." She thought for a moment and looked at Fan Bisi:
"Brother Fan, please arrange for someone to go to Changtiao Town and bring the local Kong Youde and Old Man Zhang to Wan'an County."

Fan Bisi understood that the reason why she summoned the two people at this time was probably to make relevant preparations for the Red Shoes Case of that year.

When it comes to ghost cases, you must not be careless, lest you make irreparable mistakes.

Fan Bisi nodded:
"it is good."

Meng Po also stood up:
"I'll make some preparations too."

As soon as she said this, everyone else was confused. Meng Po's eyes fell on Zhang Chuanshi, and a gentle look appeared in her eyes:

"I originally thought that I couldn't go with Xiao Zhang on this trip, but unexpectedly we have to go together again. I have to research the recipe for the improved soup on the way."

At this point, Meng Po felt much better:

"I'll bring the ingredients with me. We'll have plenty of time on the boat, so I can study the soup in my spare time. I can give it to Xiao Zhang while I'm studying it."

"!!!"

Zhang Chuanshi was horrified.

At first he had time to watch other people's fun, but he didn't expect that disaster would strike in the blink of an eye.

"Sir, I, I will stay in Wan'an County, and let Shaochun go with you. I can do it——"

"Shut up!"

Zhao Fusheng shouted without any hesitation:

"You can stay if you want to, and go if you want to. How can you change your mind like this? Do you think handling ghost cases is a joke? You must go this time!"

Zhang Chuanshi shrank his neck when he was scolded.

From the corner of his eye, he saw Fan Wujiu's face full of gloating. Liu Yizhen's mouth curled up slightly, and he secretly took note of these two people in his heart.

After Zhao Fusheng finished drinking Zhang Chuanshi, he looked at the others and his expression eased a lot:
"Let's just stay like this for now, and everyone should take a good rest in the next two days." At this point, she paused:
"The Shilipo ghost case has just been solved. I need to adjust my mood in the next few days." As soon as he finished speaking, he waved his hand:

"Go away."

Everyone dispersed.

The three Zhong Yao brothers felt confused and always felt that Wan'an County was too lax.

"After all, Changping County is handling a major ghost case." Yu Ping came out of the hall, still looking conflicted:

"The general who came from the prefecture that day and controlled the evil spirit is dead—"

This is not just any death.

Logically speaking, ghosts do not "die" after a person dies.

Generally, when a ghost rider dies, the evil ghosts he controls will be revived immediately.

But on the day of the incident, after the ghost fetus was revived, the general-level ghost master in charge of the case died, and even the evil ghost he controlled disappeared without a trace.

After the incident, Ding Datong bravely went to search the dry well, but found no evil spirits nearby. No related ghost disasters occurred in Fengning County within half a month. From this point, it can be basically inferred that the evil spirit controlled by the general also "died" at the hands of the ghost fetus.

This matter is very serious.

Ghosts can control ghosts. Different evil ghosts have different means and methods to control them.

However, the Changping County case happened not long ago. Except for the first ghost fetus in which the crying night ghost caused the death of some children, when the second ghost fetus case broke out, Ding Datong had already taken the case seriously and settled it in a very short time.

Logically speaking, the evil ghost had only caused trouble twice, so the damage it caused was not great and it was impossible for it to advance quickly.

But it is very frightening that such a fierce ghost that has only appeared not long ago can completely "swallow" the evil ghost of the disaster level.

It would have been fine if Zhao Fusheng hadn't known the truth and been deceived into going to Changping County, but she was a smart person. As soon as Yu Ping talked to her, he knew that she was not someone he could fool with lies.

The whole story of the case was told to her in detail, and she should have known the seriousness of the case, but the people in Wan'an County did not feel the slightest bit of anxiety. "Ding Datong is so worried that his head is about to go bald."

Xia Misheng scratched his head and said, "They are not panicking at all."

After that, he asked Yu Ping:
"Brother, do you think they are really not afraid or are they just pretending?"

Yu Ping didn't understand either.

Even though time was running out, Zhao Fusheng said it was still early.

'Alas.' He sighed again:
"Forget it, forget it. No matter how early or late it is, our mission has been accomplished. There is no point in thinking too much. We have no say over whether we live or die."

He smiled bitterly:
"Let's just take it one step at a time."

The three brothers looked at each other helplessly and nodded.

Before leaving, Zhong Yao thought of the previous out-of-control scene and looked back in the direction of the hall with lingering fear. Her scary big mouth, which looked like a bag of bones, moved, but she did not express her worries out loud.

……

After these three people left, Fan Bisi also went to do the things Zhao Fusheng had asked him to do.

In the hall, Zhang Chuanshi, Liu Yizhen, Fan Wujiu and Wu Shaochun had not left yet, and Kuai Manzhou was also there.

Zhao Fusheng looked at Fan Wujiu several times.

This kid is heartless and doesn't look like he's in a bad mood.

She couldn't help but ask:
"Didn't your brother tell you?"

When Fan Wujiu heard her say this, he looked confused:
"say what?"

Now even Zhang Chuanshi, who was a little depressed, couldn't help but look at him a few more times:
"Are you stupid, kid?"

Fan Wujiu now knew that Zhang Chuanshi was not saying good things, and reacted quickly:

"You are stupid. You were just scolded by an adult."

"...I'm too lazy to talk to you more." Zhang Chuanshi turned his head away.

Zhao Fusheng took a deep breath:

"You and your brother's life experience."

"Oh, I did." Fan Wujiu nodded:

"He said that when we were in my mother's womb, I was already a living dead."

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone in the hall was startled.

Zhang Chuanshi sat up straight and stared at him with wide eyes.

Even Liu Yizhen and Wu Shaochun couldn't help but look at Fan Wujiu a few more times.

The eyes in the many blood beads hidden on the beams and in the corners of the house turned and fell on Fan Wujiu.

He said nonchalantly:
"I feel like it's just a coincidence. After all, it's been more than 10 or 20 years. Even if the situation is the same, my brother and I are still alive. We are not ghosts."

"This kid is really careless." Zhang Chuanshi glared and said:
"I don't know how these two brothers were born. One of them is too cunning and sly. He can set up three ambushes with just one word. The other one is just a baby but doesn't have a brain."

Fan Wujiu wanted to retort, but then he remembered Fan Bisi's warning: Don't behave yourself in front of adults.

He swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth in time and didn't bother with Zhang Chuanshi.

"No wonder the two Fan brothers have to go together this time." Liu Yizhen now understood the reason.

Zhao Fusheng nodded.

She looked at Wu Shaochun:

"Shaochun, I estimate that Wan'an County may be hit by ghosts again, so you need to pay more attention during this period."

Zhao Fusheng's words made Wu Shaochun, who was originally a little depressed, brighten up. She noticed the change in Wu Shaochun and smiled slightly:
"It would be fine if we were in the county, but once we leave, the case will be entirely yours."

"Don't worry, sir!" Wu Shaochun cheered up after hearing about the ghost case:

"I will definitely protect Wan'an County."

Liu Yizhen's heart was moved:
"Is it because of the ghost troupe?"

He remembered the sound of the gong starting the opera troupe that he had heard earlier.

As soon as the ghost show troupe appeared, it was obvious that something was wrong with Zhong Yao and other ghost riders. It was as if the ghosts controlled by these ghost riders were "out of control". They were obviously attracted by the ghost show and involuntarily walked towards the hall.

"Yes." Zhao Fusheng replied:

"I put together a ghost troupe. The existence of the troupe can attract evil spirits."

From the reactions of Zhong Yao and the others, it can be seen that the "ghosts" who hear the ghost show will involuntarily rush towards the direction of the troupe.

After the merger, the Huangquan Opera Troupe has reached a disaster level, and its attraction to evil spirits has also increased sharply.

Even though the ghost troupe did not appear for long, if there were any hidden ghost disasters in Wan'an County, they would move closer to the Demon Suppression Division.

After she explained this, Wu Shaochun understood what was going on. He was startled:
"I will keep an eye on Wan'an County recently."

Zhao Fusheng smiled:

"Having a troupe is a good thing. After we deliver the ghost fetuses to Changping County, we can use the troupe to lure ghosts."

In this way, you can seize the initiative and wipe out all the ghosts in one fell swoop.

It is to use the power of the Huangquan Opera Troupe to consume merit points.

However, compared with the disaster, the consumption of these merit points is not worth mentioning.

"That's right, just sit back and wait." Liu Yizhen's eyes lit up:
"Maybe Wan'an County will become a quiet place without ghosts by then."

……

After they talked for a few more words, they all went their separate ways.

Wu Shaochun was busy paying attention to unusual movements in the city, while Liu Yizhen, Zhao Fusheng and others had just experienced the Shilipo Ghost Case. Although they returned safely, they could not get rid of the mental fatigue, so they all went back to their rooms to rest.

The two brothers Pang Qing and Pang Zhixian in the Demon Suppression Division settled the accounts until dark, but they still had not found out the ten cents that had not been included in the public account.

The servants around didn't dare to breathe and asked people to light the lights.

County Magistrate Pang raised his stiff arm and glanced secretly at his cousin. His eyes were red from staying up all night, but he was still in high spirits. For a moment, he wanted to ask his cousin to take a rest, but the words stuck in his lips and he didn't dare to say them out loud.

Just then, the sound of horse hooves outside broke the silence of the night.

Along with the sound of horse hooves came a faint stench, as if someone's manure pit had exploded.

Magistrate Pang paused while reading the accounts, and Pang Qing, who was arranging people to count the cash boxes, also raised his head.

Not far from the Demon Suppression Division, someone suddenly shouted:
"Uu——"

County Magistrate Pang's heart moved, as if he recognized the voice of the person coming.

Not long after, a man on horseback dismounted in front of the Demon Suppression Bureau's gate, threw the whip in his hand at the servant guarding the gate, and then strode in.

The man was in his early thirties, had a short beard, and was wearing a dirty official uniform. The smell became more obvious as soon as he arrived.

When this man saw Magistrate Pang in the main hall, his eyes lit up:
"grown ups."

Seeing his hurried look, County Magistrate Pang was moved. He hurriedly put down the account book in his hand and strode towards him:

"Captain Fang, you came to the Demon Suppression Division, but what happened?"
