I become a god in another world

Chapter 440 Revealing Your Identity
Chapter 440 Zhao Fusheng was delighted when he heard this: "Then if we set out now, wouldn't it be a good opportunity for us to run into Tang Zuwang?"

“……”Mr. Qian couldn’t bear it anymore.

"He is the Lord of the Demon Suppression Department after all. You are really outspoken—" He shook his head:

"This will definitely lead to disaster sooner or later, alas."

He sighed, with a look of sorrow on his face: "I have been careful and cautious all my life, but I didn't expect to end up like this when I am old. Qianfa, Qianfa -" He sighed:
"I regret accepting those things from him. I owe him a favor for nothing."

Zhao Fusheng glanced at him and said, "Are you still afraid that I will implicate you?"

Mr. Qian had a sad face and ignored her words.

"In that case, sir, we were going to the Wu family anyway, so why not go there first and see if Tang Zuwang is there? If not, we can just stay at the Wu family and wait for him."

Meng Po suggested.

As soon as she finished speaking, Master Qian sighed loudly again: "Alas, like master, like servant. Everyone calls Master Tang by his name——"

As soon as he finished sighing, he realized something was wrong: "Sir? What sir?"

Mr. Qian then widened his eyes and looked at Zhao Fusheng.

Zhou Da was at a loss as to what to do. He laughed twice and said, "Brother Qian, you must have heard it wrong. Maybe you called her Miss."

"No--" Mr. Qian shook his head, but saw Zhao Fusheng stand up, his eyes sharp, and look around the venue.

The moment she stood up, the feeling she gave people changed.

If she was calm and relaxed when she sat there and talked to people, now that she stood up, she gave people an inexplicable sense of intimidation, making people dare not look her in the eye.

Mr. Qian stood up instinctively, then lowered his head. He suddenly realized that he had not heard wrongly. The old woman was calling him "Sir".

Many clues that Mr. Qian had deliberately ignored came to his mind at this moment:

Zhao Fusheng and his group claimed to be from Huangma Town.

Strange things have been happening in Huangma Town for more than half a year. The disaster first spread to the surrounding towns and counties under the jurisdiction of Wenxing County, and eventually affected the entire county.

Zhao Fusheng said that she first borrowed money from Huangma Town to start the bus, and then went to Wenxing County.

He knew the situation in Wenxing County very well. How did this group of people manage to leave when the ghost plague was rampant?
Mr. Qian's hands began to tremble slightly.

He couldn't tell whether he was feeling fear, trepidation, or excitement; his mind was blank.

"Sir? Sir?" Where did this sir come from?
There was no precedent for the imperial court to appoint women as officials, and Zhao Fusheng was young and not an official in the government.

But the Demon Suppression Division does not have such rules.

The Demon Suppression Division recruits people regardless of gender. As long as one can control ghosts, one can instantly rise to a high position.

Thinking of this, Mr. Qian's expression began to change.

His hands were shaking.

When Zhao Fusheng first mentioned Huangma Town, his first reaction was to think of Qian Fa - the existence of this lineage was a regret in his heart.

The two men had the same ancestors and a close relationship, but they became separated because of different choices.

But Mr. Qian's ancestors had always been brooding over this and mentioned several times before their death that they could not return to the clan, which greatly affected Mr. Qian's character.

When Wenxing County was peaceful in the early days, he had dealings with Qian Fa.

Although the two parties were in different environments and their personalities might not necessarily be compatible, which led to them not interacting much, Mr. Qian still regarded Qian Fa as his own in his heart.

Unfortunately, he was in a low position and his words were not taken seriously. When the incident in Wenxing County happened, the county government learned the news too late. By the time he realized something was wrong, a ghost disaster had already occurred in Huangma Town.

He didn't dare set foot in Huangma Town.

When the ghost disaster occurred in Wenxing County, he fled the county, always thinking that Qian Fa had died long ago.

……

So Zhao Fusheng said that when she came from Huangma Town, Mr. Qian blamed her for his vague guilt over Qian Fa's death, and was even willing to bribe the officials, which was unusual for him, for fear that they would be ignorant of the world and get involved in this troublesome matter.

In this state of mind, he overlooked many details.

At this moment, with Meng Po calling him "Sir", he could no longer deceive himself.

All the details flashed through his mind.

When Zhao Fusheng mentioned the Jin County Demon Suppression Bureau, his expression was not awed.

When the people around her beat up the county runners, they did so nonchalantly and without any fear at all - most likely because the Demon Suppression Division had a special status and was originally above the government office.

Ding Datong, who was beside her, mentioned Tang Zuwang and called him by his name.

……

Mr. Qian had already guessed Zhao Fusheng's identity at this time, and was even 70% certain of it, but he was cautious and did not expose it immediately. Instead, he asked:

"You came from Huangma Town to Wenxing County. Did you encounter any danger on the way?"

Zhao Fusheng turned to look at him.

The two smart men looked at each other and had already guessed what was in each other's mind.

She smiled and said, "It's not dangerous, but it is troublesome."

After a long silence, Li Dongping continued:
"My Lord saved our Dongping Village."

Mr. Qian's pupils shrank sharply.

He served as the Dianshi in the county government, in charge of miscellaneous affairs of the county government, and was very familiar with most of the towns and villages under the jurisdiction of the county government.

Especially since most of his clan members settled in Huangma Town, he was much more familiar with Huangma Town than other towns and villages. He knew that Dongping Village had suffered a ghost disaster more than half a year ago.

When he heard the young man claiming to be from Dongping Village and that Zhao Fusheng and his group had saved the lives of the villagers, he became even more certain.

"There were water ghosts along the way." Zhang Chuanshi also said: "Wenxing County is even worse."

Mr. Qian's face turned pale, and he asked again: "What about now——"

"Now the rain has stopped and the sky is clear." Zhang Chuanshi said proudly.

Master Qian no longer had any questions.

His knees went weak and he fell to the ground with a thump: "Mercy, mercy."

His sudden behavior shocked Zhou Dazhu and others.

In the minds of Mr. Liu Sanye and others in Wuxian Temple, Mr. Qian who came from the county was already a very noble person. When they saw him kneeling down, everyone followed suit and knelt on the ground.

"Mercy? What did you do wrong that you want me to spare your life?"

Just when everyone was puzzled and didn't know why Mr. Qian suddenly knelt down, Zhao Fusheng smiled and asked.

Zhou Da realized it later: it turned out that Master Qian suddenly begged for mercy in order to ask this young lady to spare his life. Just as his mind was turning rapidly, he heard Master Qian say again: "I am blind and do not know the status of the adults. I have offended the adults by committing crimes. Stop it. Please forgive me for my old age and ignorance."

After he finished speaking, he touched the ground with his forehead and kowtowed.

"You have some knowledge." Zhao Fusheng said with a smile.

To think about it, although Mr. Qian was greedy and cruel, he had never offended her. In fact, because of Qian Fa, he was quite caring towards her.

She said, "We entered the city like this without first announcing our identities. It has nothing to do with you. Just get up."

As soon as Zhao Fusheng finished speaking, Mr. Qian was terrified and replied with a trembling voice: "Yes."

He wanted to crawl up, but because of his fear, his hands and feet were weak and he had no strength to stand up, so he had to sit down where he was.

Zhou Da and the others didn't know the seriousness of the matter. Seeing that Mr. Qian was so scared that his face turned pale, they quickly stood up and wanted to help him sit back in his seat.

Mr. Qian didn't dare to sit down, and struggled to stand leaning against the officer.

"Now that you know who I am, I will ask some questions directly."

"Just ask, sir. We will tell you everything we know." Mr. Qian took out a handkerchief to wipe his sweat and responded quickly.

"You mentioned earlier that the Jin County Demon Suppression Division has not changed its commander for more than 20 years. Is this true or false?"

Although Zhao Fusheng was already certain that this matter was true, she still asked out of carefulness.

An officer asked, "What's wrong with you? Didn't you just say—"

Before he could finish his words, Mr. Qian stepped forward, raised his hand and slapped him in the face. The man turned half a circle on the spot, covered his face with his hands, and dared not speak for a long time.

"Asshole, when the master asks you a question, just answer it."

The man was frightened by the beating, bleeding from the corner of his mouth, and dared not say a word.

Zhou Dazhu thought so at first, but before he could say anything, he saw his comrade being beaten. He clenched his legs and said honestly, "Really, what we said before was all true."

"Then he is still in charge of the current affairs of the Jin County Demon Suppression Division?"

Zhao Fusheng asked again.

"That's not very clear. The Demon Suppression Division and our government office are two different things. My master is also afraid of dealing with the Demon Suppression Division. Except for paying respects on the first and fifteenth day of each month, he dare not easily come to visit."

"In that case, we'll find out after we go and meet them." Zhao Fusheng nodded and asked, "Is the journey to the Wu family far?"

Mr. Qian wiped the sweat from his forehead and immediately replied, "Not far, not far, it will take only 25 minutes by car." Then he stretched out his leg to kick Zhou Dazhu, "You are so tactless, why don't you go and ask the county magistrate to come and see the master."

Zhou Dazhu staggered after being kicked by him. He hadn't realized what had happened yet. He was feeling anxious when he heard him ask the county magistrate to come over to pay his respects. He was terrified: "What should I say when I go to ask the magistrate?"

"Idiot, idiot!" Mr. Qian sighed twice and shook his head continuously.

Jin County has been at peace for too long. Most of the county government positions are hereditary, and the people who take over have no foresight at all.

"These gentlemen are all from the Demon Suppression Division..." After he said that, he glanced at Zhao Fusheng but didn't dare to ask her which Demon Suppression Division she was from.

It is said that the Demon Suppression Division will be bound by constraints and will not easily leave its fiefdom.

But this group of people came to Jin County through Wenxing County in a mighty manner. Could it be that they were summoned by the imperial court?
He was thinking about something in his mind, but didn't dare to ask more questions.

But what Mr. Qian said frightened Zhou Da and others so much that their limbs became paralyzed.

The Demon Suppression Division had a great reputation. Zhou Dazhu recalled that he had been beaten by Fan Wujiu before and had even tried to fight back afterwards. He was so scared that he rolled out, shouting as he walked:
"Master Jiang, Master Jiang, the Demon Suppression Division is here—"

The news spread quickly and the entire county was alarmed.

Zhao Fusheng's identity was revealed at this time, and Mr. Liu Sanye, Chang San, Chang Si and other people from the Five Immortals Temple were frozen in place.

The three men's minds were blank. They knelt on the ground for a long time and did not dare to stand up. They did not react for a moment and did not understand how these outsiders could become the masters of the Demon Suppression Bureau.

……

Zhou Dayi was gone for a long time.

From the noise, it seems that the magistrate of Jin County has been busy recently and is not in the county government.

About a few minutes later, the sound of galloping horses came closer and closer. Soon, an old man in an official robe came trotting in, followed by several people.

He was covered in dust, with sweat on his forehead and an official hat on his head. His clothes were neatly dressed, as if he had expected such a big scene.

After entering, this person looked around in panic: "Where are the masters from the Demon Suppression Division?"

As soon as he finished asking, his eyes fell on Zhao Fusheng.

There were quite a few people from the Demon Suppression Division in this group. Except for Kuai Manzhou who was standing opposite Zhao Fusheng, most of the others surrounded her, standing on both sides of her and behind her, making her identity known at a glance.

Liu Yizhen was carrying a huge coffin on his back and looked very powerful.

Ding Datong, Hu Rong and others had gloomy eyes, which made people shudder when they looked at them.

The two brothers Fan Bi Si and several of their companions were also strong and powerful. The Lu family members were weaker, but standing among the people from the Demon Suppression Bureau, they also seemed unfathomable.

Magistrate Jiang fell to his knees with a thump, saying, "I wonder if the adults will arrive in Jin County today to welcome the late death penalty and the death penalty."

Magistrate Jiang prostrated himself on the ground, shaking all over.

"From the look of you, it seems like you have guessed that we would come." Zhao Fusheng said with a smile.

"Two months ago, the county received a notice from Shangyang County saying that a group of distinguished guests would pass through Jin County in early January, and that our county must receive them well—"

Magistrate Jiang was sweating profusely on his forehead. He did not dare to wipe it off. He only said, "The official letter from the prefecture government was not very clear at the time. We only knew that the distinguished guest was an official from the Demon Suppression Division and that he was going to the capital for business. He also said that he was coming by boat, so we waited at the dock a few days ago, fearing that we would miss the official boat and fail to provide a good reception."

"Our ship encountered an accident halfway and was damaged near Wenxing County," said Zhao Fusheng.

County Magistrate Jiang kowtowed repeatedly: "I see, it's all our fault for not being informed of the news in advance, causing the adults to suffer."

Having said this, Mr. Qian finally let go of the last bit of doubt in his heart.

The magistrate of Jin County had apparently learned the news long ago that someone from the Demon Suppression Division would be passing through the county in the near future.

He hurriedly asked people to prepare tea and food, and County Magistrate Jiang was awakened from his dream: "Yes, yes, yes, we need to welcome you all——"

After saying that, he calculated in his mind how many people there were in the Demon Suppression Division.

I rushed back after hearing the news. When I came in, I only roughly counted them and found that there were at least twenty people.

"There is a restaurant in the city. They started cleaning it half a month ago—" he said hastily, "and no one has been allowed to move in—"

"Don't worry yet." Zhao Fusheng shook his head:

"Let me ask you, you said you received news from Shangyang County informing us that we will be arriving in Jin County soon. Was the news sent by the Demon Suppression Division of Shangyang County? "No, no." County Magistrate Jiang waved his hands repeatedly, "How dare I let the officials of the Demon Suppression Division send a letter." He said, "It was a letter sent by the prefect of Shangyang County..." At this point, he hesitated for a moment and said not much, but Zhao Fusheng got some clues from this sentence.

Just as County Magistrate Jiang said, the Demon Suppression Division and the local government offices have two different channels for transmitting information.

This time, the ghost fetuses transported from Changping County to the capital were directly handed over by the Imperial Capital Demon Suppression Department.
