I become a god in another world

Chapter 427: Ghost Case Reappears
Chapter 427

These conversations opened up Chang Wusao's mouth, but also aroused her resentment.

She expressed her grievances to this group of strangers without any scruples:
"We've been married for more than ten years, and we've had three girls in succession—"

If Chen's mother had only felt a little sad when she first heard that Chang Wusao had lost her son in her old age, now that she heard that Chang Wusao's second son had left no sons, her face was filled with sympathy:
"No son?"

"no!"

Chang Wusao said with hatred:

"This Yang is just a hen that doesn't lay eggs!" She cursed:
"I knew that the Yang family had bad intentions. Sister, you don't know that Yang Kaitai himself has no ability. In his early years, he was also a live-in son-in-law, taking over his father-in-law's job. For a family like this—" She put her knees together, clamped her crutches between her thighs, pouted, and drooped her eyes, revealing a look of disdain mixed with resentment. She kept shaking her head, and her contempt was evident in her words:
"I'm afraid women can't give birth to sons."

She said:
"Yang Kaitai's wife also gave birth to several daughters. The eldest daughter wanted to find a son-in-law to take over his family lineage, but who would do that? In the end, she had no choice but to set her sights on my son."

Chang Wusao sneered again when she said this:
"If you ask me, when buying a pig and looking at the pen, you can tell whether the woman will give birth to a son by looking at her mother."

When Chen's mother heard this, she felt a little inferior.

She glanced at her son-in-law with a lack of confidence, fearing that Lu Yuhe would be unhappy, and then quietly retorted:
"That's hard to say. Some people are just unlucky. They can't have children for a while, but that doesn't mean they can't have children. It's just bad luck."

"laugh."

Mrs. Chang Wu rolled her eyes and sneered.

Mother Chen, who was very fierce in front of Chen Duozi, became even more inferior. She couldn't even raise her head in front of Chang Wusao, a woman who gave birth to five sons, and she didn't even dare to argue with her anymore.

"..."

Zhao Fusheng was so amused by this scene that she sighed and asked:
"Since you don't like Yang Kaitai's daughter, why did you agree to this marriage?"

The cruel look on Chang Wusao's face turned into a sad one again. She wiped her tears and said:

"I didn't think so much at the time. Yang Kaitai was a liar. He humbly promised me that if I had a son in the future, the first child would take my son's surname, and if there were more, we would see if they could inherit his Yang family. He also promised that no matter if my son had a second son or not, his position would be passed on to my son in the future."

Mr. Liu nodded:
"At that time, in front of the whole village, Manager Yang patted his chest and promised that when he retired in the future, he would recommend Erwa to the boss to be the head manager."

"Now that you put it that way, Yang Kaitai can be considered a reasonable and decent person." Zhao Fusheng said.

Her words immediately made Chang Wusao very unhappy:
"No, I don't care what he said, I only care what he did."

Sister Chang Wu said:

"First, his daughter has been married for many years but has not given birth to a son. Just like her mother, she gave birth to three money-losing children."

"Second, it sounds good to recommend my son to be the shopkeeper, but my son is in trouble now and he can't become the head shopkeeper."

At this point, she lowered her head and wiped her tears again:

"Now that everyone is dead, everything is just empty talk."

Chen's mother had been dissatisfied with her theory of 'buying a pig and looking after it', but now, seeing her crying so sadly, she felt sympathy and said:
"After I died, I had no son, and no one to hold the spirit tablet."

"Who said it wasn't?" Mrs. Chang Wu felt even more uncomfortable and responded.

"It's not that there is no solution. Don't you have three sons?" Zhao Fusheng said calmly:

"Just send another one to be an apprentice."

Chang Wusao slapped her thigh:
"You are a very nice girl. I thought so at first, but Yang Kaitai didn't want to."

She cursed:

"This damned dog——"

At this point, the man next to her couldn't help but pull her:
"Mom, don't say these things--"

"You can't say anything." Chang Wu's wife slapped her son's arm hard:

"I want someone to judge the situation and poke the Yang family in the back."

The man remained silent.

"Look, your second brother is dead, and his body has been lying there for two days. Has your sister-in-law come to cry once? Those girls also refused to come. They are bastards and have no conscience. We should handle this ourselves. We can never let them off."

Chang Wusao said viciously:
"I will fight the Yang family to the end!"

When she said this, Zhao Fusheng's eyes flashed.

The dispute between Chang Er and Yang Kaitai was, after all, just a family matter and there was no need for a lawsuit.

But since Chang Wusao said she wanted to sue, then Chang Er must have died a sudden death and the cause of death must be suspicious.

When she thought of this, she did not rashly ask about the cause of Chang Er's death, but asked in a roundabout way:

"By the way, Mr. Liu San mentioned earlier that the county increased taxes on Wenxing County, and said that your second son mentioned it..." She paused here, and then continued:

"This kind of news is not just gossip. The fact that he knows this shows that he is a well-informed person."

"Who says it's not?"

When Chang Wusao heard her praising her son, she felt very happy and even her grief and anger were suppressed for a while:
"You are a very knowledgeable girl. My son is studying medicine. He is very good at picking and cutting herbs. He is also learning to prescribe medicine for people. He was famous in Jin County."

She talked for a long time and finally mentioned a useful clue.

Although this town is unnamed, it must be close to Jin County - this proves that Zhao Fusheng and his party are heading in the right direction.

Zhang Chuanshi felt relieved and said happily:
"I was born with the ability to lead the way. I can walk without any idea and still find the right way."

There was a funeral going on at someone else's house, and the old woman who was talking was crying, but he just smiled without any tact, which immediately attracted the angry glares from the Chang family.

Zhang Chuanshi is not a pushover. Once someone glares at him, he glares back without any hesitation.

"..."

The Chang family members were not as shameless as him. Seeing that Zhao Fusheng and his group were numerous and powerful, and Ding Datong and his companions were strong and muscular, they had no choice but to swallow their anger and glared at Zhang Chuanshi several times, refusing to bother with the old man.

"He became famous later on, and Yang Kaitai was going to the county, so we took him along. It's because Yang Kaitai is old and incompetent, and he wanted to use my son to take his pulse and treat his patients." Mrs. Chang Wu complained.

Mr. Liu Sanye continued:

"Their clinic is called Xinglinyuan, and it happens to be located next to the government office."

"So that's it."

Ding Datong immediately understood the reason.

He was afraid that Zhao Fusheng was young and didn't know the inside story, so he explained it to her softly:
"Miss, there are usually restaurants, inns, lawyers, and pharmacies next to government offices."

There are a lot of gossips around the government office, and there are also many people involved in lawsuits and gossips.

Litigation is a long process. Once you are involved in this matter, you need to find someone to write a complaint, and the court will have to go to court several times, so you have to stay in a hotel for the night.

Drinking alcohol and tea are also common things, which involves some government gossip, which is often passed between restaurants and inns.

Another business is the pharmacy.

"There are torture methods in the government office."

Most of those involved in the case are stubborn and dishonest, and they will be punished at this time.

Many people were injured after being executed, and if they were injured, they would go to the nearest doctor to get medicine for treatment, otherwise their injuries would worsen and they might die in prison. Therefore, the area around the government office was very busy and shops were in great demand.

Zhao Fusheng's eyes twitched when he heard this.

Mr. Liu San and Mrs. Chang Wu immediately stood up in awe and looked at Ding Datong:

"This gentleman is an expert, and what he said is absolutely correct."

"..."

Ding Datong was a general of the county's Demon Suppression Department, but he was not happy at all when he was praised by two country old men.

He didn't know whether to laugh or cry for a moment, so he rolled his eyes and said nothing.

"The Xinglin Garden where my second son works is right next to the county government office. He is very familiar with the officers there and they treat each other like brothers. Sometimes the families of the criminals would pay for him to drink and ask him to introduce them to the officers who carry out the executions so that the torture would be lighter." Mrs. Chang Wu said proudly.

But after she finished speaking, she realized that her son was dead. All the glory of the past turned into mist and disappeared. Her pride was gone. She couldn't help feeling sad and resentful, and began to angrily curse Yang Kaitai as a beast.

"That is to say, Chang Er's pharmacy is close to the government, and he has heard a lot of news. So the people of Wenxing County offended the county government, which led to the tax increase..." Zhao Fusheng said here and looked at Ding Datong, who was stunned:

"Nine times out of ten it's true."

After he finished speaking, he added:
"Zhu Guangling is not a generous person either."

Zhu Guangling was kicked out to Shangyang County because of his mood swings, violent temper and difficult to deal with.

He is an extremely cruel person. When he was a ghost-controller, he killed people at will, which displeased the people in the Demon Suppression Bureau, so they sent him to Shangyang County.

After taking office as a general of a county, he became the local emperor. If someone in the county government made him unhappy, he would vent his anger on the local people and it was entirely possible that he would increase taxes at will.

This person has a cruel personality and does not care about the lives of the people. The death of thousands of people would probably be more important to him than collecting less tax.

When Zhao Fusheng heard this, a cold look flashed in his eyes.

"So that's how it is." She responded casually, and Chang Wusao said:

"That's right. My son had a bright future, but he died a tragic death."

After talking for so long, I still haven’t gotten to the point.

When Zhao Fusheng heard her say this, he asked:

"Logically speaking, your son's clinic is located next to the government office, so it should be very safe. He is young and his medical practice is very stable. How could he die suddenly?"

"Speaking of this, I also feel it is very strange." Chang Wusao cried:

"My son is a medical student. He has always taken good care of his health. He is particular about what he eats and drinks. He also practices the Five Animal Exercises every day. He wants to take care of his body so that he can have a son in the future. Yang Kaitai promised my son that if his daughter doesn't give birth to a son in two years, he will give him a concubine—"

"..." Zhao Fusheng's eyebrows jumped and he asked:

"If that's the case, then how could he die?"

"Yeah, how could a healthy person die? When he came back before the New Year, he said that he would give me a big fat grandson in two years—"

Zhang Chuanshi could no longer bear it, so he jumped out and pointed at Chang Wusao and said:

"Why don't you just tell me how your son died? Why are you talking so much nonsense?"

"How do you talk like that, old man?"

When Chang Wusao's son heard what Zhang Chuanshi said, he became angry and shouted out loud.

Seeing that a quarrel was about to break out, Zhao Fusheng tried to smooth things over:

"Okay, okay, everyone should say less."

Although she was young, she had great prestige in the eyes of Mr. Liu Sanye and Mrs. Chang Wu. When she spoke like this, although Mrs. Chang Wu's son was still very unhappy, he endured it.

Chang Wusao suddenly said:

"My son drowned!"

It would have been fine if she hadn't said this, but once she said it it was like a bolt from the blue.

Hu Rong and others, who were not very interested in the trivial matters in Changjia Village, suddenly changed their expressions and their pupils trembled when they heard the words.

Mother Chen, who was holding Lu Pan'er, was shaking all over.

The terrifying and frightening experiences along the way are still vivid in my mind. The resurrected evil spirits in Dongping Village and Wenxing County and the swamps formed by ghost footprints all over the ground are shocking.

"Drowned?"

Jiang Ying was surprised.

A bad premonition came to his mind, as he remembered that when Zhao Fusheng and Wu Shaochun were leaving Wenxing County in the carriage, they had happened to mention the ghost case in Wenxing County. Zhao Fusheng had said at the time that this case would not be easily resolved just because the ghost disaster in Wenxing County was resolved by the Yinchai Mamian.

At that time, although Jiang Ying sincerely admired Zhao Fusheng's strength and was convinced by her, she still had doubts about what she said.

In his opinion, the ghost disaster in Wenxing County has reached a calamity level. The fact that it was solved by the ghost catcher was purely due to the group's luck in having Zhao Fusheng to escort them. Most people who enter this county would probably never return.

How could such a terrible ghost disaster be just one part of a ghost disaster?

If the ghost case in Wenxing County was only part of a disaster, then where was the real source of this catastrophe? And how terrible would it be?

No one dared to think about it.

But unexpectedly, in less than a day, Zhao Fusheng's words seemed to be verified.

Jiang Ying, Tao Lifang and others were extremely uneasy and looked at Zhao Fusheng tremblingly:
"Big, big—"

"Miss, it seems that what you said has come true."

Although Ding Datong was also afraid, he had once been a general and his character was much more stable than Tao Lifang and others.

Since Zhao Fusheng had not revealed his identity, he did not want Jiang Ying and the other man to let the cat out of their mouth out of fear and ruin Zhao Fusheng's plan, so he took the initiative to interrupt them.

Chang Wusao was in grief and did not understand the hidden meaning of these people's words. She said angrily:

"Yes, he drowned! Yang Kaitai said that my son had an appointment with the county officials to drink, and on the way home he slipped and fell into a pond. It was night, and there was no one around. We only saw him when he floated to the surface the next day. When he was fished out, he was already dead."

She cried and raged again:

"Who knows whether it's true or not? It must be the Yang family that killed my son."

"I must sue the Yang family. I want Yang Kaitai to be beheaded and die as compensation."

She said resentfully.

When Mr. Liu San heard this, he also sighed:
"Afterwards, Yang Kaitai had someone bring Erwa's body back, and he wanted to pay some silver to settle the matter."

But the Chang family refused to give up.

Chang Wusao only knew that she had sent her son to Yang Kaitai as an apprentice, but now, decades later, Yang Kaitai sent her a corpse.

She couldn't get over this, so she contacted people in the county to file a lawsuit for her son.

I'm so tired. I stayed up all night to finish this chapter. I have to force myself to adjust the pace, but it is not certain that the update will be stable tomorrow.
