Chapter 461: Silver Future's History
Chapter 461

When Zhao Fusheng heard this, he and Meng Po looked at each other in surprise.

"A ghost trapped in a human skin?" Meng Po felt as if her heart was being torn apart by a knife. She was filled with evil spirit, but she was afraid of bad things happening, so she had to grit her teeth and endure it:

"He killed the woman for her skin?"

"I'm not sure about that. Anyway, I heard that since he entered Shangyang County, he often asked people to find young and beautiful women to enter the Demon Division. He wanted fair skin and beautiful looks, and the requirements were very strict. At first, he only bought and sold daughters from poor families, but recently he has asked for more, and it is said that some merchants are not immune."

A Yuan said worriedly:
"I'm afraid if things continue like this, the world will change again one day, and even—"

When she said this, she looked at Zhao Fusheng worriedly, but then she immediately lowered her head as if she was afraid of being discovered by Zhao Fusheng.

At this time, more than forty years ago, A Yuan did not know that Zhao Fusheng and Meng Po were people from the future, nor did he know that the marriage between Shen and Sun would eventually encounter twists and turns.

She thought about what Mrs. Sun said and felt worried, but she was also afraid that Shen Yishu might be worried, so she didn't dare to say more.

"Is it true that this Silver General needs more women recently?" Zhao Fusheng asked.

A Yuan stammered and was unable to speak.

Zhao Fusheng sighed:
"Just tell me. I'll know what's going on. Otherwise, if you keep it to yourself, you'll be worried."

When Ah Yuan heard her say this, his eyes also turned red:
"It's because she's worried that Miss might have some crazy thoughts that Madam asked us not to pass on the message."

She cried twice, then said:
"I heard that Shangyang County is also in a state of panic right now. The Demon Suppression Division itself is full of ghosts, and the women sent to the mansion have never been seen going out again." She wiped the corners of her eyes:
"Our Sun family is engaged in the business of medicinal herbs. At the beginning of the month, the master was chatting with the owner of Xinglin Garden. He said that a while ago, a lord in the Demon Suppression Office was too sick to get out of bed, so he called the doctor of Xinglin Garden."

At this point, she paused and said, "Afterwards, I went to see him and found that he was too frightened. Almost everyone in the government office had this symptom, so I prescribed tranquilizing soup for everyone."

Although this sentence does not explicitly mention Shen Yishu, Shen Yishu's death is suspected to be related to the Silver General of Shangyang County, so some information about the Silver General is also an indirect clue.

Meng Po was extremely anxious, but she also knew that a lack of patience would ruin big plans, so she clenched her hands tightly and said nothing.

Ah Yuan continued:
"The doctor at Xinglin Garden said there was a ghost in the Demon Suppression Division. He heard someone crying and begging for help. He followed the sound and found a human skin hanging on the wall."

The doctor from Xinglinyuan was nearly frightened to death on the spot, luckily he brought his apprentice with him.

If I fainted in the Demon Suppression Bureau and was discovered, I would probably lose my life.

Fortunately, the doctors and their apprentices in Xinglin Garden had a father-son relationship. Although the apprentice was afraid, he knew what was right and wrong. He suppressed his fear and half-carried and half-lifted his master out of the Demon Suppression Division. When he looked back, he was so frightened that he fell ill.

"This man is the head of Xinglin Garden. Many families in the city are convinced of his medical skills. The boss also went to visit the patient in person and found out about this."

When Zhao Fusheng heard this, he couldn't help but say:

"Shangyang County is in Bingzhou, and Bingzhou is not far from the Imperial Capital. It's only two or three days away at most. If the situation in Shangyang County is so serious, why doesn't the Imperial Capital send someone to take over?"

Before being abducted, Shen Yishu was just a girl in the boudoir, innocent and romantic, and unaware of the sufferings of the world.

Although his temperament changed slightly after being rescued by the Sun family, his human nature had already been shaped. Even though he would be on guard, he would not say such words.

What's more, although the Sun family has a considerable business, they are just merchants after all. How can they care about the affairs of the imperial court?

A Yuan felt a little surprised and couldn't help but glance at her.

But Ayuan had no idea that the 'Shen Yishu' in front of him was just a fake.

She remembered that Shen Yishu was born into an official family, so it was not unusual for him to know some procedures regarding court affairs, so she suppressed the strange thoughts in her mind:

"That's not clear. The court's affairs are managed by the government. What can we do?"

After that, he said to himself:

"Maybe the situation isn't that serious."

Zhao Fusheng asked:

"So what is the current situation in Shangyang County?"

A Yuan's eyes flickered: "What's going on?"

Zhao Fusheng frowned: "The situation of the Demon Suppression Division, the human skin Zang——"

She casually gave the silver general of Shangyang County a nickname, but stopped talking as soon as she called it out.

Meng Po reacted and whispered, "Paper Figure Zhang?"

"My Lord, is there any connection between the two?"

The pronunciations of "Zhang" and "Zang" are similar, especially when these two words are pronounced with the Xuzhou accent, there is almost no difference.

And both are good at skinning people.

Zhao Fusheng was alert and asked A Yuan:
"How old is this gentleman named Zang?"

"I don't know either." A Yuan shook his head: "The master has never seen it."

The Sun family is just a merchant family. Although they are well-known in Jin County and have considerable business, there is a huge gap between merchants and the Demon Suppression Division. Especially since Ren Pi Zang is a silver general with extraordinary strength, it is understandable that Mr. Sun has never seen him. A Yuan is just a maid of the Sun family, so it is normal that she doesn't know him.

"How serious is the situation of this human-skinned Zang from the Demon Suppression Bureau recently?" Zhao Fusheng's question made A Yuan feel a little pressured.

But the road back to the new house seemed to have not yet come to an end, so she had to answer again:

"I heard that Shangyang County has set new rules every month in the past two or three months."

General Yin is about to revive the evil ghost, but he seems to have found a way to alleviate the revival of the evil ghost - that is to kill people and take their skin to trap the ghost.

Use human lives and human skin to suppress evil spirits, or in other words, to slow down the speed of ghosts' revival.

As a result, many people died in Shangyang County.

His requirements were quite high and he specifically wanted young and beautiful women. After a few months, it was unknown how many women he had ruined.

When there were not enough unmarried girls, General Yin changed his orders again and again.

"Three months ago, it was said that girls aged between 13 and 20 in Shangyang County were required to have fair skin, pretty faces, and no scars on their bodies. If they were willing to sell their daughters or sisters, they would be rewarded with three silver ingots."

These three silver ingots are not a small amount of money. They can buy a house in Shangyang County.

There were quite a few people selling their daughters at the beginning, but gradually no one lined up to sell their daughters anymore.

In addition to the rumors, many people were afraid and even the Demon Suppression Division did not dare to get close. Occasionally, someone was short of money and urgently sold his daughter, but the number was not as large as before.

The Demon Suppression Division raised the amount again and again, from the initial three silver ingots to five silver ingots, but few people were willing to buy, and the silver general of the Demon Suppression Division became dissatisfied.

Therefore, a month ago, another order was issued, requiring the forcible conscription of young women and sending them to the Demon Suppression Division.

"At first, we followed the old rules and first searched the families in the city who owed taxes to the government. Later, when there were not enough people, we didn't follow the rules anymore and searched some merchants as well."

Then half a month ago, there was talk of changing the law again.

"Even the maids in the rich families were not spared." Ah Yuan shuddered when he said this, and said thankfully:
"Fortunately, we are not in Shangyang County."

After saying this, he sighed again:
"What will happen if this continues?"

They were all silent for a moment.

Having said that, A Yuan secretly glanced at Zhao Fusheng:
"The master is also afraid that something unexpected will happen, so he wants to finalize this marriage early. The silver general will only find unmarried girls. As long as the ceremony is completed, we will live in peace."

After she said this, Meng Po felt heavy in her heart.

"Miss, we have arrived at your room."

At this moment, Ayuan suddenly shouted happily.

As she spoke, she lifted the lantern in her hand and, as expected, she saw a house where the red light shone. The house was wide open, with a carved and hollowed-out door that folded to the sides. Red lanterns were lit inside and outside the house, and red silk was hung everywhere.

"I'm going to Wang's Satin Shop. Miss, please take a rest first. Someone will come to dress you up soon."

Zhao Fusheng nodded.

A Yuan said happily again: "I will definitely be able to find the right satin for you, young lady, and dress up the wedding shoes beautifully."

After saying that, she walked away with the lantern in her hand. After a few steps, her figure disappeared into the shadow of the red light without a trace.

Meng Po and Zhao Fusheng witnessed her disappearance, and both looked solemn.

Meng Po looked at Zhao Fusheng:
"My Lord, what should we do now?"

"We'll see what happens next." Zhao Fusheng said, "Ayuan has mentioned that someone will come to help me dress up later, and when she comes back, she will definitely bring back the right shoes." She guessed, "Once the shoes are put on, I guess the wedding will start."

"This wedding—"

When Meng Po mentioned this, her heart bled.

All these results can infer that the marriage was ultimately unfortunate.

From Ayuan, she learned that her daughter had met a noble person in the past, and that neither the Sun couple nor Sun Shaoyin were bad people.

In fact, when she first learned that the Sun family had saved Shen Yishu, but had allowed the two to get married secretly, and planned to hold the wedding ceremony first and then visit the girl's parents, she was very puzzled by the Sun family's actions.

A Yuan's words cleared up her doubts.

Something unexpected happened in the Demon Suppression Division. General Yin, whose surname is Zang, killed a large number of unmarried girls in order to suppress ghosts. This is why the Sun family is so anxious to act.

Thinking of this, and knowing that Mr. and Mrs. Sun were both good people, she felt heartbroken when she thought of her daughter's failed marriage.

"Let's just sit inside and wait for someone to come."

Seeing her sad face, Zhao Fusheng couldn't help but pat her hands.

Meng Po nodded, and the two of them walked into the room.

As soon as I stepped into the room, the scene inside changed immediately.

What appeared before the two men was an outer hall with tea, snacks, etc., but as soon as they entered the room, it immediately turned into an inner wing.

What caught their eyes was a bright red.

The most eye-catching thing is a big bed with red bed curtains and bed curtains with pictures of a happy marriage and mandarin ducks playing in the water hanging in the middle.

Several layers of red quilts were spread, and red dragon and phoenix candles as thick as a child's arm were lit on both sides.

An exquisite, new dressing table with a paint smell was placed by the window, containing everything needed for the wedding.

This is a ghost town, so any changes are natural.

Zhao Fusheng and Meng Po were not surprised. They each pulled a stool and sat down. Just as they were about to talk, someone suddenly shouted outside:

"Ms. Liu is here to do her makeup."

"Ms. Liu?" Zhao Fusheng's eyelids twitched.

The time segment of the haunted house jumped twice. After the ghost minions of the Wu family were eliminated, the timeline returned to the Sun family forty-three years ago.

There are only three people who have actually appeared in the Sun Mansion: Ayuan and two servants who were beaten to death by the Fan brothers.

These people had no surnames, and when someone with a surname appeared, Zhao Fusheng immediately remembered his own people.

She brought several people from the Demon Suppression Division into the house, among whom happened to be a man named Liu.

"Could it be Yizhen?"

Before she finished her words, she grinned.

Meng Po was in a very bad mood to begin with. After hearing what she said, her sorrowful expression was broken for a moment, and she stammered:
"No, no way? That can't be possible—"

As soon as he finished speaking, the door was pushed open with a creaky sound, and a tall figure squeezed in from outside with the cold wind.

The red candles in the room flickered twice when blown by the cold wind.

The light was dim for a while, until the man blocked the open door with his body, and the faint candlelight slowly revived.

"Yizhen?"

Zhao Fusheng shouted, trying not to laugh.

Liu Yizhen, who was carrying the coffin, turned his head expressionlessly.

The situation in the haunted house is special. Once a living person replaces the "person" in this time segment, this person will be forcibly assimilated by the laws from beginning to end.

At this time, Liu Yizhen was wearing a festive purple-red wedding gown and his hair was combed in a weird way.

Meng Po took a look, her mouth twitched, and she turned her face away, unable to bear to watch.

Liu Yizhen looked around, then grabbed the coffin with both hands, walked to Zhao Fusheng and the other man, and pulled a stool to sit down.

In such a dangerous place, he did not dare to take off the ghost coffin, but still carried it on his back.

"Are you the lady who came to comb her hair?" Zhao Fusheng asked.

Liu Yizhen nodded:
"I was originally planning to look for Sun Shaoyin."

Zhao Fusheng's identity at this time replaced Shen Yishu, and she was one of the main characters in the later wedding scene.

The other person is the groom Sun Shaoyin.

The severity of this ghost disaster is unknown, but everyone has witnessed Shen Yishu's power. Liu Yizhen is worried about something happening and wants to stay close to Zhao Fusheng. Replacing Sun Shaoyin is the best option.

But after walking around, he didn't find any trace of Sun Shaoyin.

"In fact, there are not many people here." He said this and added:
"Maybe it's because the time hasn't come yet. These people shouldn't appear at this time, so I didn't see them."

But the rules of the haunted house are special. If he can't find his location for a long time, it is very likely that the rules of the evil ghost will be triggered.

"I remembered the conversation I heard before we entered the mansion, so I planned to walk to the door to see if I could run into the maids who were talking to A Yuan."

As a result, he didn't meet the maid, but met the woman who was going to dress up the bride.

Liu Yizhen killed the ghost and threw it into the ghost coffin. He replaced the ghost with himself and sneaked into the bridal chamber.

After he finished speaking, he asked Zhao Fusheng:
"Did you find out any news?"

He had worked with Zhao Fusheng before and knew her character. He knew that she would always find clues wherever possible.

Since Ayuan had lived with her for some time, she would definitely ask for some information.

"I found out some things." Zhao Fusheng nodded:

"The silver general of Shangyang County is named Zang. He was originally from the Imperial Capital. He seems to have a very important background. I heard from A Yuan that when Master Sun mentioned this person, he didn't dare to say much."

She glanced at the phoenix crown and shawl on the dressing table:

"It seems that he got into trouble in the Imperial Capital and offended someone, so he was demoted to Bingzhou and then to Shangyang County."

The latest news in the capital: the lost sixth girl from Yongqing Marquis's house has been found. Many people wanted to see how this girl from the countryside could not be on the stage, but they did not expect that the sixth girl Qiu was actually a master of incense and became a guest of honor for many people who pursued elegance.

When a country is about to fall, there must be evil spirits. Qiu Heng thought to himself: I am better at getting rid of evil spirits than making incense.
