Chapter 439: The Source of Ghost Disaster
Chapter 439

If Zhou Dazhui's uncle died at the hands of an evil spirit, the other members of the Zhou family who accompanied him before his death were not marked, proving that the rules of killing by ghosts are not transmitted through contact with the marked person.

Zhao Fusheng also asked Zhou Dazhui whether any of his family members had the same symptoms later, but he denied it - in other words, the killing rule of this ghost disaster did not depend on contact with the dead.

This is very certain, after all, Yang Kaitai of Xinglinyuan, who had close contact with Uncle Zhou Dazhu, is still alive.

If the root of the problem is not the victims themselves who were killed by the evil spirit's law, then it is the source of the mark of other laws.

Zhou Dazhui said that when his great-uncle was alive, he was guarding the Wu family's house. During his duty, he mentioned that a fierce ghost had resurrected in the Wu family, and he witnessed it with his own eyes. He was scared afterwards, so he retired and was killed by the fierce ghost afterwards.

What happened in the Wu family may be the real cause of Zhou Dazhu's uncle's death.

This proves that the source of the ghost disaster is within the Wu family.

Thinking of this, Zhao Fusheng asked, "Has the Wu family ever had any deaths from ghost face sores in recent years?"

As soon as she asked this question, the others looked at each other in confusion, and then all the officers laughed and asked, "How do we know this?"

Zhou Dazhu also said: "We are just low-ranking servants. What kind of family is the Wu family? How can we know what happened in their family--"

"Why don't you know?" Zhao Fusheng shook his head. "You can't enter the Wu family, so you don't know the details of the Wu family, but you can still get a glimpse of things from the side."

She looked at Zhou Dazhu: "Your uncle has such a serious illness due to sores, and he knows how to find a doctor."

To know whether anyone in the Wu family has pimples, one only needs to pay attention to whether they have asked Xinglinyuan to visit and treat them.

Moreover, the ghost face sore is most likely related to evil spirits, but Zhou Dazhui and others did not have enough knowledge about ghosts and mistakenly thought it was a sore disease.

Whenever it comes to ghosts, if the evil ghost is not driven away, the person will surely die.

If the source of the ghost disaster lies in the Wu family, then someone in the Wu family will definitely die, and when someone dies, it is inevitable that there will be a funeral and burial.

You can't hide the truth from others.

The reason why Zhou Dazhui and others didn't know anything when Zhao Fusheng asked them was simply because these people were confused in their daily lives and were too lazy to think about the cause and effect.

In addition, the Wu family is rich and powerful, so these people are afraid and pretend to be deaf and dumb, as if they are blind.

As soon as Zhao Fusheng finished speaking, Liu Yizhen beside him showed a little fear in his eyes.

He thought he was a cautious person, but if that were the case, he was actually living in a confused state. He was probably full of flaws, and some of his living habits and personality might have been figured out by Zhao Fusheng.

"No wonder I always feel something is wrong, as if someone is spying on me all day long—" he said in surprise.

Fan Bisi scratched the back of his neck and nodded.

"..."

Zhao Fusheng looked at them speechlessly.

These people are smart, but unfortunately they are not smart enough.

It’s good to know that there are precautions, but the target of precaution is wrong.

Her eyes swept over Kuai Manzhou who was standing beside her. The child didn't seem to be interested in what was happening around him. He was drawing on the table with his fingers, but no one knew what he was drawing.

"In short, we can guess what happened in the Wu family from some subtle habits."

As soon as she finished speaking, Mr. Qian immediately asked, "Who are you?"

Just as Zhao Fusheng said, most country people are ignorant and confused, and they just take things as they come. They rarely observe things through clues and predict crises in advance.

Zhao Fusheng's words and actions really didn't seem like someone from Huangma Town. Mr. Qian was already suspicious: "You don't look like someone from Huangma Town."

"I never said I was from Huangma Town. I was just passing through Huangma Town and borrowed money to drive on my way. On the way, I heard him mention that he had a relative like you."

Zhao Fusheng responded with a smile.

Master Qian's face turned pale and blue: "You——"

Zhao Fusheng didn't have time to chat with him at this time. Instead, he interrupted Mr. Qian with his eyes and asked Zhou Da and others: "Did what I just said happen to the Wu family?"

"No." Zhou Da shook his head: "I have never heard of the Wu family looking for a doctor from Xinglinyuan to treat ghost face sores--" After saying that, he continued:

"But there are real deaths in their family. Every few years, one or two women disappear."

Zhou Da talked for a long time and finally got to the point.

"A woman disappeared?" Zhao Fusheng asked.

Zhou Da was a little scared.

He spoke out of turn and let the secret slip, feeling extremely uneasy. When he heard Zhao Fusheng's questions, he regretted it: "Look at my mouth, I really don't know how to control myself."

"Tell me the story of the disappearance of the Wu family woman." Zhao Fusheng said, "I will reward you handsomely later."

Zhou Da's heart moved, and his eyes involuntarily fell on Kuai Manzhou.

The child had a gold collar around his neck and hands, and there was greed in his eyes.

"Are you serious?" he asked.

Zhao Fusheng noticed his expression and sneered: "Just as you said."

In Zhou Da's eyes, this attitude seemed to mean that she had already agreed.

For the sake of the money, Zhou Da was cheered up: "In fact, we can't say for sure whether it disappeared or not, but the master of the Wu family takes a concubine every one or two years, which is very weird."

As soon as he finished speaking, Chang San and Chang Si became a little scared.

Zhou Dadao: "There are many people like the Chang family who send their daughters to the Wu family every year."

He paused and said, "But I only saw people being sent in, but never seen people being carried out."

The fact that the Wu family took a concubine was known to everyone in Jin County, and many people complained behind the scenes that Mr. Wu was extremely lustful.

Having said that, no one dared to criticize it openly, for fear of bringing disaster.

"Are you sure you pay it every year?" Zhao Fusheng glanced at Meng Po and said strangely, "If it's every year, the Wu family has moved here for more than 20 years, this is not a small number--"

"Sure." Zhou Da nodded, then looked at his colleagues: "This is something everyone in Jin County knows." Everyone was ashamed of it behind the back, but if a family had a daughter and had nowhere else to go, their first reaction would be to sell their daughter to the Wu family.

When he said this, Mr. Liu San also nodded:

"We heard about it, so we sent the two girls here. Who would have thought, who would have thought? Oh no!"

He slapped his thigh in regret.

Since both the county and the village say so, the matter must be almost certain.

"Are these concubines that Mr. Wu took into the mansion still alive?" Zhao Fusheng became puzzled again.

Zhou Da said subconsciously: "Of course he is alive, how could he be dead--" He grinned and was about to laugh, but then the smile froze on his face, and a look of fear appeared in his eyes. He looked at others: "Is he still alive?" "He must be alive--" said the others.

But after they finished speaking, these people showed hesitation again: "But I have never seen these concubines of the Wu family go out--"

"I've never seen any shop give away rouge and powder..." With more women, cloth, hairpins and ornaments are all things that need to be purchased. The Wu family is not a small family, but they have never seen them buy these items.

"It could also be because he's stingy." Someone added quietly.

……

At the moment, it seems that there is indeed a problem with the Wu family.

Fan Bisi said, "The Wu family is so strange, could it be haunted?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the officers' discussion stopped abruptly.

After a while, someone shook his head: "Impossible."

Fan Wujiu has a good relationship with his brother. He was very unhappy when he heard his brother's words were denied: "What is impossible? In this world, anything is possible."

"Haunted places can be haunted, but the Wu family can't be." Zhou Da was a little scared of him, but he still shook his head bravely:

"Impossible, impossible."

Fan Wujiu said, "You are a dishonest old man. Nothing you say is true. You said before that the Wu family was haunted by ghosts. Your uncle witnessed it with his own eyes. Later, he retired and went home. Not long after, he got a ghost sore and died."

"More than twenty years ago it was possible—"

His words immediately angered Fan Wujiu.

Fan Wujiu wanted to hit him again: "It was possible twenty years ago, why is it not possible now? Does the ghost have to decide the time to kill people?"

Zhou Da was frightened and stepped back repeatedly, and said quickly: "Ghosts kill people at any time, it's because the Wu family has a patron saint." He hid a few steps, but still worried, because he had said a few words to Zhao Fusheng, he walked around Zhao Fusheng, stuck his head out and said to Fan Wujiu:
"Didn't I tell you about the Lord of Jinxian Demon Suppression Department before? Lord Tang still maintains a good relationship with the Wu family. I'm not exaggerating." He said:
"Everyone in Jin County knows that Lord Tang goes to the Wu family on time every day, spends most of the day there, and only returns to his own residence in the evening."

After saying that, he added: "It's like this every day, without exception."

These words surprised the Demon Suppression Division and others.

It was already a miracle that Tang Zuwang from the Jinxian Town Demon Division had not died for more than 20 years. It was even more incredible that he now went to Wu's house and sat there for most of the day.

"???" Ding Datong's face was full of question marks. He looked at Hu Rong, Jiang Ying and others. He tried to hold back, but finally couldn't help asking, "Is Tang Zuwang sick?"

"..."

Tao Lifang also felt that the Demon Suppression Commander in Jin County was sick.

Zhou Da's eyes fell on the bracelet on Kuai Manzhou's hand. After thinking for a while, he said, "In fact, there is a private speculation in our county—"

After he finished speaking, the others immediately panicked and said, "Boss Zhou, you really want to die. You dare to say such a thing."

"Don't worry, I will hold up the sky for you even if it falls." Zhao Fusheng promised.

When Zhou Da heard what she said, it automatically translated into: As long as he was willing to tell her, she would agree to whatever money or property he wanted.

Zhou Zai was delighted and said, "I wouldn't tell this to anyone else, but since you asked, I'll tell you straight away. There are rumors in Jin County that the concubine of the Wu family is nominally Mr. Wu's, but in reality-"

He curled his lips, stretched out his right hand, clasped four fingers together, leaving only the index finger, and circled his head: "Then Mr. Wu is wearing a special hat."

Now everyone understood.

Except for Zhao Fusheng, Meng Po and the young Kuai Manzhou, people from the Demon Suppression Division and Lu Yuhe's family couldn't help but show sympathy on their faces.

"Everyone said that these concubines might have been taken in by Lord Tang, but they were just using the Wu family's name."

"There is such a thing——" Zhao Fusheng's eyes showed vigilance.

Shangyang County has had the custom of "right of first night" for decades.

At the beginning, people in the county were extremely angry, but after decades, when people mentioned this matter again, they had become accustomed to it.

Except for outsiders who sounded particularly uncomfortable, the local people in the county government did not show any strange expressions.

But the Wu family’s affairs may not be that simple.

Whether it is the fact that Tang Zuwang has lived for many years, or that he has maintained a good relationship with the Wu family for more than twenty years, or that the Wu family frequently takes concubines but no women, there are many doubts.

There was a ghost face sore in Jin County, and the people in the county treated it as a plague that could kill people, instead of a ghost disaster, which led to panic - this proved that the outbreak of this ghost disaster was secretive and dangerous, and did not involve large-scale killings like ordinary evil spirits.

Zhao Fusheng thought for a while:

"We will go to Wu's house later to find out the truth." Everyone was surprised.

Mr. Qian stood up from his seat in panic, his lips trembling for a moment, as if he wanted to curse someone but didn't know where to start.

"What? Go to Wu's house? Are you trying to kill yourself?"

Zhou Da was shocked.

"You said that Tang Zuwang goes to the Wu family on a regular basis every day. At what time does he usually go to the Wu family?" Zhao Fusheng asked instead of answering.

This question made the officers look at each other in bewilderment.

The power of the relationship had already been made clear, but Zhao Fusheng's words seemed to imply that he still wanted to go.

Zhou Da looked at Master Qian at a loss, and Master Qian's face turned ashen.

He had lived a respectable life.

My ancestor married into an official family in his early years, which enabled his descendants to become officials and suddenly became the superior people.

When Wenxing County still existed, he lived a good life, was good at making money, and accumulated considerable wealth.

After the incident in Wenxing County, Mr. Qian was alert and realized that something was wrong. He tried to flee the county early and settled in Shangyang County.

Now he is doing very well in Shangyang County, and he can often save up a lot of wealth by taking advantage of his position.

But I didn't expect that when I returned to Jin County to handle a case this time, I would meet a person like Zhao Fusheng.

It was a rare occasion that he had good intentions and spent money to get things done, but in the end it ended up like this.

Mr. Qian felt a little melancholy.

"You talk to her." He threw the jar into the air: "It's going to rain, my mother is going to get married, who can I control? I'm not destined to be a good person in this life!" He cursed: "I've spent the money, and this is it."

He came from the county, but during the time he stayed in Jin County, he maintained a good relationship with the officers. He did not put on airs, was not too particular about what he ate, and could make jokes about both vegetarian and non-vegetarian food, and he had established a good relationship with the officers.

This was the first time everyone saw him get angry, and they were a little scared for a moment.

Zhao Fusheng smiled and said, "Master Qian said so, so you can tell me." Zhou Dazhan said tremblingly, "Usually before noon (around 11 o'clock). Anyway, the servants of the Demon Suppression Division said that Lord Tang is not in the government office at this time."

He looked at the sky outside and said, "It's about the same time now. Even if Lord Tang is not at Wu's house, he has left the Demon Suppression Division. I believe he will appear at Wu's house soon."
