I become a god in another world

Chapter 437: Immortal Order Division
Chapter 437

As the saying goes: It is easy to see the King of Hell, but difficult to deal with little devils.

Mr. Qian mingles in the market and knows how to use money to control people.

Although he had a gentle appearance, he was very familiar with the officers of Jin County. And now, he offered money to them, so the officers quickly rushed forward without any courtesy and divided up the copper coins he took out. Then they said with a smile: "Thank you, Brother Qian. Since you are one of us, we will naturally let bygones be bygones and not mention the future." After that, everyone put the money in their pockets, and then they said seriously: "Miss, you are right not to interfere in the affairs of the Chang family." Chang San was about to get anxious, but Zhao Fusheng glanced at him with a warning in his eyes.

Chang San was glared at by her and felt inexplicably frightened, so he immediately shut up.

Zhao Fusheng then smiled and said, "What do you mean? Tell me, I am also careful about taboos." She spoke with a smile, and everyone felt relieved. They said, "We don't know about the Chang family selling land, but we know that they sold their daughter." Another officer nodded and said, "Yes, they sold it to Mr. Wu in the city..."

When the city's 'Master Wu' was mentioned, all the officers showed fear on their faces.

"Yes, I heard from Chang San that his two daughters were sold to the Wu family."

Zhao Fusheng finished speaking with a smile, and then changed the subject: "Is there anything wrong?" "This Mr. Wu is a very important person." An officer replied.

"What's his background?" Although Zhao Fusheng asked the question, he remembered the rural rumor mentioned by Old Man Zhang before he set out: When Wu Laocai was transporting goods, he had made friends with a big shot in Jin County and was protected by him.

Wu Laocai failed to force his concubine to marry him, and someone died in his family, which led to the revival of an evil spirit. However, this man was lucky enough to survive, which can be considered a tough fate.

He is not an ordinary person. His family is rich. After moving to Jin County, he can become a bully in the county and have someone to rely on as his backer. Ordinary people cannot do that.

According to Zhao Fusheng's guess, the Wu family's backer might be the Jin County Demon Suppression Division.

For ordinary people like Chang San, it is impossible to imagine the existence of ghosts. They only know that the local government office is an existence that cannot be looked up to. As for the Demon Suppression Division, they are even more like celestial beings and are simply unimaginable.

But for Zhao Fusheng, Jin County's Demon Suppression Bureau could not intimidate her or make her afraid.

She knew what was going on, but she kept asking.

An officer said in a muffled voice: "Mr. Wu's family is on good terms with the Demon Suppression Division and has a close relationship with them." As soon as these words were spoken, Mr. Liu San and the three Chang brothers all gasped.

When it comes to the Demon Suppression Division, the situation is quite different.

When the people from the Five Immortals Temple arrived, they had made up their minds to ask Mr. Wu's family for the remaining money owed from the sale of their daughter. However, when they heard that Mr. Wu's family had a good relationship with the Demon Suppression Division, they immediately felt discouraged.

For those who are protected by the Demon Suppression Division, it may not be possible to collect the full debt even if you find someone from the county government, let alone find a group of people to collect the debt.

"What should I do? What should I do?" Chang Sanliu was at a loss, holding his head in despair: "It's over, it's all over now."

Zhao Fusheng's expression did not change, but he looked at the officer who spoke.

The bridge of his nose was blue and red, with dried blood on the edges of his nostrils and cheeks. His lapels and cuffs were also covered in blood. He was the unlucky officer who had been beaten by Fan Wujiu before.

Seeing Zhao Fusheng turning his head to look at him, because of the handful of money that Mr. Qian had grabbed earlier, he grinned and showed a kind look.

"Being on good terms with the Demon Suppression Division?"

This result was expected by Zhao Fusheng.

"I heard that the Wu family is an outsider." Zhao Fusheng was thinking about something, but he said, "They were from outside the area and moved to Jin County more than 20 years ago."

"..."Mr. Qian looked as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.

He wanted to advise Zhao Fusheng to stop meddling in the Wu family's affairs, but when he saw her asking about Mr. Wu's family again, a bad premonition immediately came to his mind.

“I was originally from outside the area.”

The officer who was beaten sniffed twice and responded.

Zhao Fusheng waved at him: "Come closer and talk to me." Her expression was natural, and it seemed natural for her to order people around. The officer stepped forward subconsciously, but after two steps he realized something was wrong and was about to stop, but Fan Wujiu stood behind him with his arms across his chest, with a threatening look on his face.

The officer was frightened by him and was pushed forward by him. Only when he stood in front of Zhao Fusheng did he begin to tremble.

"What's your name?" Zhao Fusheng asked with a smile.

The officer trembled with fear: "My name is Zhou Dazhu, I am the eldest in my family, you can call me Zhou Da..."

"Zhou Da, you seem to know a lot about the Wu family?"

When Zhao Fusheng asked this, Zhou Da was stunned.

He looked around and saw that other people also looked puzzled. Mr. Qian frowned slightly.

The money has been received. It's just a few words between us in private, so it shouldn't be a big deal.

Zhou Da thought about this and said, "When the Wu family moved in earlier, the yard they lived in was guarded by one of my uncles."

He said, "I heard from my uncle that the Wu family was not originally from Shangyang County. It is said that they moved from Wan County, something like that—"

Meng Po and Zhao Fusheng looked at each other and suppressed their excitement: "Wan'an County?"

"Maybe, I can't remember clearly." Zhou Da scratched his head. "The old man of their family passed through Jin County on his way to do business. He met the master of the Demon Suppression Department in our county, and then their relationship became closer and closer."

He said, "The house they currently live in was originally the private residence of Lord Suppressing Demons. Later, because they were on good terms with Master Wu's family, they gave it to the Wu family. To this day, the relationship between the two sides is still very close, so Master Wu's family must not be offended, must not be offended."

Zhou Da’s words stunned Zhao Fusheng.

There are so many incredible things in his words.

The Demon Suppression Division had a special status in the Han Dynasty, being above the government. It could be said that it was no longer subject to the constraints of the imperial court, but was instead under the dispatch of the Demon Suppression Division in the imperial capital.

The Lingsi was like a local tyrant in the local area. One had only heard of officials and wealthy gentry paying tribute to the people of the Demon Suppression Division, but had never heard of the people of the Demon Suppression Division giving gifts to merchants.

Is there something strange about this?
Zhao Fusheng turned his head and looked at Meng Po.

And there is another strange thing about this matter.

The Demon Suppression Command Office has a very fast turnover rate because of the ghost-controlling, and on average a new local commander has to be replaced every two or three years.

Even if the Wu family had been on good terms with the Jin County Demon Suppression Division more than 20 years ago, the relationship should have become distant long ago after so many years and several successive commanders were replaced.

But when Zhou Da mentioned the relationship between the two parties, it seemed that the friendship between the two parties has been maintained to this day.

This is very unusual.

"The Wu family is so capable?" Ding Datong couldn't help but ask, "How could they maintain good relations with all the ghost riders for more than 20 years?"

All the people in the Demon Suppression Division were shocked.

The few envoys of the Demon Suppression Division who were lucky enough to survive showed expressions of admiration on their faces. The longer a ghost rider rides ghosts, the less human they become and the stronger their ghost nature becomes. It is not easy to get along with a ghost rider. Even if they are as close as family, they will eventually become strangers.

Take the three ghost riders Zhong Yao from Changping County as an example.

When Zhong Yao's evil spirit was not suppressed, Yu Ping and the others felt that his temperament was changing more and more day by day.

The three brothers became sworn brothers in their early years and had promised not to live at the same time but to die on the same day. However, as Zhong Yao's time in controlling ghosts increased, the two brothers often felt a creepy feeling when traveling with him and did not dare to meet Zhong Yao's eyes at all.

It was a strange feeling.

You know that the person next to you is a living person, but he seems to be just wearing a layer of living person's skin, with a terrible, emotionless ghost hidden inside, just waiting to eat the two brothers alive one day.

Even sworn brothers with a good relationship are like this, but the Wu family has actually been able to live with ghosts for twenty years, which makes all the people in the Demon Suppression Division admit defeat.

"Each term?" Zhou Da was stunned, then shook his head: "Just one term."

"One term?"

"Ichiren?!"

"One!" Not only Zhao Fusheng was surprised, but even Ding Datong, Liu Yizhen and others could not help it.

Tao Lifang shook his head: "Nonsense." Jiang Ying also said: "This kid is not honest."

Zhou Da himself said that the Wu family's relocation happened more than 20 years ago.

How could it be possible that there was only one ghost rider in Jin County over the past twenty years?

Ding Datong couldn't help laughing: "You don't even know how to tell a reliable lie." Although he said it with a smile, there was murderous intent in his eyes.

As a general of a county, what he could not tolerate most was someone treating him like a fool.

What Zhou Da said sounded like a fairy tale to everyone, something that would never happen.

Seeing that no one believed him, Zhou Da suddenly became anxious: "It's true!"

Ding Datong only sneered, while Jiang Ying and others also looked unfriendly.

"It's true, it's true! Oh my." When Zhou Da saw that everyone didn't believe him, he slapped his thigh anxiously and said, "You are from the same hometown as Brother Qian, you are one of us. How dare I tell lies about this? Really-"

He stamped his feet.

Zhao Fusheng also thought he was talking nonsense at first, but with his eager rebuttal, her originally firm determination was suddenly shaken: Could it be that what Zhou Da said was true?
Is it true that the head of the Demon Suppression Division in Jin County has not changed in more than 20 years?

As soon as this thought came to her mind, a chill ran down her spine and spread to her back, causing the hair on her hind legs and arms to stand on end.

Can a ghost rider really live that long?

Zhao Fusheng looked at Zhou Da with doubt.

Zhou Da was still a little unhappy because everyone didn't believe him, and then he looked at the other officers: "If you don't believe me, ask Brother Li and the others--"

The others also nodded and advised kindly: "It's true, the Wu family has a close relationship with the Demon Suppression Bureau..." "The Demon Suppression Commander in Jin County has not been replaced for more than 20 years?" Zhao Fusheng was obviously very concerned about this issue.

"Yes, yes." After she asked this question, the officials of Jin County government all nodded.

This nod made everyone in the Demon Suppression Division stunned.

Master Qian sighed, "Do you know how tricky this is?" Seeing Zhao Fusheng stunned, he thought she was finally afraid, so he couldn't help but say, "So don't meddle in the Chang family's business—" Before he finished speaking, Zhao Fusheng said, "How is it possible that Ling Si has not died for more than 20 years? Isn't there a ghost that has revived?"

When they heard the word "ghost", everyone trembled and fear appeared on their faces.

Zhao Fusheng was puzzled: "What on earth is going on?" Others were also puzzled.

As we all know, once a ghost rider controls a ghost, the evil ghost will revive sooner or later. Handling ghost cases and dealing with ghosts will accelerate the process of the evil ghost's revival.

Zhao Fusheng looked at Ding Datong curiously: "Datong, have you heard of such a situation?" "Never heard of it." Ding Datong shook his head.

At this moment, he even secretly regretted not inquiring about the situation of the Jin County Demon Suppression Bureau in advance.

This time when escorting the ghost fetus into the capital, he was afraid of something going wrong, so he did some investigation. He learned that the general of Shangyang County was named Zhu Guangling, and the evil ghost he controlled was unknown. He entered Shangyang County more than two years ago.

All we know is that before Zhu Guangling entered Shangyang County, according to official records, his ghosts had already reached a level above the disaster level.

"As for Jin County, the commander is named Tang Zuwang—"

When he mentioned the name of the Jin County Demon Suppression Command, everyone's expressions changed.

Including Master Qian, everyone was terrified and had hatred in their eyes.

Zhou Da and others had received the money before, and they thought Zhao Fusheng and others looked friendly, but now they felt that the money was like a hot potato.

Everyone took out the money in their pockets and threw it on the table angrily: "Mr. Qian, you are harming us!"

Master Qian was also extremely angry.

Most of the clan members protected each other. Because of Qian Fa, he had a good impression of Zhao Fusheng and his party. He went against his conscience many times to remind and protect them. However, he did not expect that this group of people were so fearless that they even dared to call Tang Zuwang's name in public.

Seeing the officers turning against each other, Master Qian also lost his composure. He was about to speak when Fan Wujiu stopped Zhou Da who was about to take out money: "Where are you going, kid? We haven't finished asking questions yet." "I don't want your money. I don't want to have anything to do with you--" Zhou Da struggled hard.

But Fan Wujiu's strength was incredible, his palm was as strong as an iron clamp, it made his bones ache, but no matter how he twisted his limbs and struggled, he couldn't escape at all.

"That won't do. I'll pay you ten thousand times the amount if you don't tell me. If you don't pay, I'll beat you to death in the street!" Fan Wujiu said.

His words were scoundrel and brutal, and immediately made Zhou fall backwards: "Are you being unreasonable? This is the government office, you dare to hit me--" Fan Wujiu clenched his fists, he let out a pig-killing scream, and immediately covered his face.

But after shouting twice, he found that Fan Wujiu did not really hit him, so he felt relieved, but said cruelly: "You dare to call Lord Tang's name in public. You will not have a good end if you offend the Demon Suppression Division. You will die anyway. I can't give you the money, so you might as well beat me to death!" After saying that, he stretched his neck with great courage, showing a look of being ready to die.

"The commander of the Jin County Demon Suppression Division is Tang Zuwang?"

Ding Datong's information cannot be wrong. When Zhao Fusheng asked this, the others snorted coldly and said nothing, but their attitude showed that they acknowledged it.

"More than 20 years ago, the commander who was on good terms with the Wu family, Tang Zuwang?" Zhao Fusheng asked again.

Mr. Qian was both annoyed and afraid.

He didn't expect that his momentary kindness would bring him trouble for the rest of his life, and he thought to himself: This good thing really shouldn't be done.

Although he regretted it bitterly, the thing had been done and he had to wade into this muddy water. It was too late to get out of it now, so he should persuade Zhao Fusheng to stop in time.
