I become a god in another world

Chapter 56 Another ghost case

Chapter 56

"Forget it." Since he couldn't figure out the cause and effect for a while, Zhao Fusheng simply stopped thinking about it.

all will be good.

"What is certain at present is that Paper Man Zhang's target is the ghost coffin."

Now that the ghost trouble in the Beggar Alley has been solved, but the beggar ghost has not been completely sealed, if the paper man Zhang is really a ghost control person as Zhao Fusheng guessed, and he rashly enters the Confucius Temple, it is very likely that the evil ghost will be revived, and then putting himself in crisis.

The person who controls the evil ghost can never compare with the truly immortal evil ghost. With his personality, he will definitely lurk around and look for the right time to take action.

"Anyway, he won't leave. One day he will lose his temper and reveal his clues. When we catch him, everything will be revealed."

Zhao Fusheng waved his hand, and several others nodded in response.

Zhang Chuanshi, who knelt down beside Zhao Fusheng, breathed a subtle sigh of relief.

Zhao Fusheng caught sight of this scene out of the corner of his eye, and couldn't help but reveal a smile. Then he pursed his lips, as if he didn't notice Zhang Chuanshi's strange behavior, and looked at Fan Bisheng and asked:

"Did your trip to Baozhi County go smoothly?"

The Fan brothers looked stern.

Fan Bisheng kicked his younger brother, and Fan Wujiu stood up quickly and replied:

"smoothly."

Fan Bisheng also nodded:

"After you suppressed the two ghosts, nothing strange happened in the middle. We walked quickly all the way, just to finish the work quickly and come back without disturbing the 'other people'." The 'other people' he mentioned naturally meant the Demon Suppressor of Baozhi County. Deputy Order Zheng.

But Fan Bi's expression did not show joy, and he hesitated to speak:

"But Fusheng..."

He only mentioned the beginning, but Zhao Fusheng guessed what he ended up saying:

"Are you worried that if this matter is kept secret for a long time, my father and mother's corpses will revive again?"

Fan Bisheng lowered his head and said nothing, but his attitude undoubtedly acquiesced to her guess.

"Don't worry." Zhao Fusheng shook his head and shook his chair twice:

"I've thought about this issue too." When she said this, the tense expressions of the Fan brothers relaxed.

For some reason, Fan Bisheng is both jealous and a little afraid of her now.

After she came back from the dead, her whole demeanor changed drastically, as if she had been reborn.

After the ghost case in Beggar Alley was solved, it increased her prestige. When Fan Bisheng heard her talk about ghost troubles again, he didn't even have the slightest doubt in her ability.

"The resurrection of the ghost was only temporarily interrupted by me. Now that the ghost mist has appeared, this seal will not be far away. After a while, when the situation in Wan'an County becomes more stable, we will find a way to solve this ghost case."

Zhao Fusheng's words made the two brothers Fan Bisheng smile involuntarily.

On that day, the two of them had no choice but to make a choice and secretly buried the bodies of Zhao and his wife on the territory of Baozhi County.

If this matter is exposed, Deputy Ling Zheng will definitely not spare the two of them.

The two brothers did not control the ghosts, and now their backer is dead. If they offend the powerful ghost master, they will have a headache in the future.

If Zhao Fusheng is willing to come forward to clean up the aftermath, it will naturally be the best ending for the two brothers.

Zhao Fusheng saw the subtle changes in the expressions of the two brothers, smiled, and then ordered:

"Starting from tomorrow, I will announce to Wan'an County that I will take ghost cases in the future. If there are cases in various places, they will be reported to the local towns without delay."

After saying that, he looked at Fan Bisei again:
"You are an old member of the Demon Suppressing Division. According to the past rules, you should recruit some handymen and servants to take care of the general affairs and clean up all the rooms, especially the archives room. It is best to find someone who can read and write. Put away the messed up files into categories.”

Now that she has finished the ghost case in Beggar Alley, she has some free time. Between taking on the next ghost case, she will also read some files to increase her understanding of the world and ghosts.

When Fan Bisheng heard what she said, his heart dropped and he nodded in agreement.

"The money sent by the squires——" He was about to speak, but Zhao Fusheng interrupted him:

"Put it into the treasury and use it to pay the wages of handymen and servants." After she finished speaking, she then warned:
"But remember to pay careful attention to your accounts."

Her words surprised Fan Bisheng and said:
"But these are your private property——"

During the Han Dynasty, all the magistrates in various places were not poor, but it was not the treasury that was rich, but the commanders and envoys in the government.

Local squires and powerful men have the custom of paying money and tribute to the commander. This is a 'protection fee' and is something everyone tacitly accepts.

As for the additional expenses of the government office, as long as the local commander is strong and there are many handymen and other tasks, people are willing to enter and receive the protection of the strong.

"You don't need to pay for these." Fan Wujiu said:
"If the Demon Suppression Division resumes operations by then, not only will they not be paid, they will also have to pay tribute to you! It would be better to recruit some envoys at a high price, which will also be of great use."

Fan Bisheng and Zhang Chuanshi both nodded. They obviously didn't think there was anything wrong with Fan Wujiu's words.

"..."

Zhao Fusheng suddenly reflected for a moment.

She currently has a small amount of assets, and she has figured out how to suppress wages by hiring people to work. She thought she was ruthless enough, but she did not expect that the people around her were even more exploitative than her.

But Fan Wujiu's words did not move Zhao Fusheng's heart.

Money doesn't come out of thin air. According to what everyone said, if you recruit handymen and don't pay them wages, but ask them to pay tribute, you can naturally imagine where the 'tribute' money comes from.

"The Demon Suppressing Division will not add any envoys for the time being." Zhao Fusheng thought for a moment, shook his head, and then made the final decision:
"Just do as I say."

Although Fan Bisheng was puzzled, Zhao Fusheng was the strongest now, so naturally everyone listened to her.

The two brothers were assigned things to do. Zhao Fusheng's eyes fell on Zhang Chuanshi. He felt vaguely uneasy and quickly took the initiative to speak:
"Then I can also share some accounting work——"

His right eye kept twitching, fearing that if he spoke too slowly, disaster would befall him:

"I have been running a shop for many years and am good at calculating accounts——"

"You don't need to do this."

Even if he doesn't speak, Zhao Fusheng will not forget him:
"Your calculations are unclear."

Zhang Chuanshi felt a little guilty when he recalled the first time the two met. Hearing what Zhao Fusheng said, when he was about to defend himself, Zhao Fusheng looked at him and smiled:

"And you have other things to do."

Her smile fell into Zhang Chuanshi's eyes, and he always felt that she had evil intentions. Just when he was trembling with fear, he heard Zhao Fusheng say:
"Next time you handle a ghost case, you go out with me."

"..."

Zhang Chuanshi's face turned pale and he collapsed to the ground.

His eyes quickly became bloodshot and turned around, then a fierce light appeared in them. He clenched his fists and was about to resist, but when he looked up at Zhao Fusheng, he saw her looking at him coldly, as if waiting for him to have an attack. Generally speaking, Zhang Chuanshi's anger and resentment subsided again.

"Zhao—Master Zhao—" he shouted, his body trembling.

The Fan brothers looked at each other and looked happy to have survived the disaster.Zhao Fusheng’s words expressed two attitudes:

[-]. She hates the paper man Zhang, and Zhang Chuanshi has a close relationship with the paper man Zhang. From the conversation just now, it can be heard that Zhang Chuanshi is hiding something from her.

Zhao Fusheng proposed to bring Zhang Chuanshi with him the next time he handles a ghost case. He clearly wanted to teach him a lesson, and he also wanted to use this to scare the monkeys and let the Fan brothers take a look.

Second, she arranged the task of the Demon Suppression Department, proposed that the Fan brothers manage the miscellaneous affairs in the department, and nominated Zhang Chuanshi to accompany her, which meant that the Fan brothers would not be involved in the next ghost case.

This is undoubtedly great news for the two of them.

Fan Bisheng was very thoughtful, and he couldn't help guessing that this should be a reward given by Zhao Fusheng to his two brothers for having arranged the funeral of the Zhao couple before.

Thinking of this, he immediately knew what he should do in the future.

Zhang Chuanshi is not stupid. He also thought of what Fan Bisheng could think of, so he quickly cried out:
"I really don't know where the paper man Zhang went. He is indeed not dead. As for whether he controls the devil, I really don't know, Mr. Zhao..."

When Zhao Fusheng heard what he said, he put his feet up and sat upright.

She leaned over and looked at Zhang Chuanshi:

"Is that all there is to it?"

When Zhang Chuanshi saw her approaching, he was so shocked that he sat down on his heels. Hearing this, he nodded desperately:

"Yes, I am just an ordinary person. I am somewhat related to Paper Man Zhang. I usually use his false reputation to make ends meet -"

Zhao Fusheng smiled and reminded him:
"Lao Zhang, when my parents Li Gui revived, the two door panels where they were parked left ghost shadows. Have you told Paper Man Zhang?"

As soon as she said these words, Zhang Chuanshi was sweating profusely and did not dare to say anything.

"We have a funeral on the front foot, and you can report the news on the back—"

After experiencing the ghost disaster in Beggar Alley, she already knew much more about ghosts than when she first entered this world.

Things associated with ghosts may turn into evil objects, such as Liu Huacheng's book of destiny, the ghost coffin of the headless ghost, and the door panel of the Zhao couple.

Zhang Xiongwu not only covets ghost coffins, the Zhang family may also collect dangerous objects.

It was no coincidence that Zhang Chuanshi closed his shop when the Zhaos and his wife were buried that day. He might have gone to inform the public.

His coffin shop is opposite the door of Zhenmo Si, and since Zhenmo Si still refused to leave after the accident, he must have some plans for Zhenmo Si.

"What do you want by staying here?" Zhao Fusheng asked again.

Zhang Chuanshi was sweating like rain, his lips trembled, but he didn't speak.

Zhao Fusheng had no intention of forcing him and sneered:
"If you don't want to say it, forget it. I have a lot of patience. From now on, it will depend on whether you are more lucky or I am."

"..."

Zhang Chuanshi trembled when he heard this, and his whole body collapsed to the ground like an eggplant beaten by frost.

Zhao Fusheng ignored him and waved for everyone to disperse.

This night was the calmest night since her rebirth in another world. There was no resurrected ghost, and the room was many times more comfortable than the begging alley. However, Zhao Fusheng suffered from rare insomnia and could not sleep all night.

Fortunately, after finishing a ghost case, the knowledgeable people from Pang County did not bother her.

She caught up on her sleep during the day and felt much better when she got up at noon.

Although Fan Bisheng was ruthless, he was sensible and efficient. After receiving Zhao Fusheng's order, he quickly completed the task in one day.

The person he chose seemed to be quite honest and reliable. Taking advantage of Zhao Fusheng's time to go back to sleep, he first cleaned the wing where the files and files were placed.

After Zhao Fu got up, Fan Bisheng brought a plate of baked noodles and handed it to her, saying:
"The ones we found first are all handymen. As for the right people to sort out the files, it will take some time -"

While speaking, he secretly looked at Zhao Fusheng's expression from the corner of his eye. He saw that she was rolling up the pancakes and swallowing them in big gulps. She didn't look like she was angry. He couldn't help but feel relieved. Then he continued:

"So I just asked people to clean the wing temporarily, and put away the scattered files first. When I find the person later, I will put them away by category."

"good."

Zhao Fusheng nodded.

The burrito was made from coarse grains, and it hurt her throat when she swallowed it. When Fan Bisheng saw her frowning, he quickly said:
"A few days ago, the Demon Suppressing Division suffered a disaster. Many big families in the city ran away. Many things are not complete. It will be much better after a while."

The living conditions of the Han Dynasty were indeed backward.

Just the burrito on Zhao Fusheng's plate is already a 'delicacy' that most people in this world cannot enjoy.

Her first priority now is not to eat, but to accumulate merit points to save her life.

"Yeah." She responded and said:
"You make the decision on the little things these days. Don't bother me if you have nothing to do. If there is any news from Magistrate Pang, let me know as soon as possible."

With the book of souls and fate in her hand, she suppressed the Fan brothers for the time being. She was not afraid of the Fan Bisheng brothers' disapproval on major matters - she was not prepared to entrust major matters to these two people. As for the small matters, Zhao Fusheng knew clearly Which ones should be captured and which ones should be delegated.

Judging from the current situation, Fan Bisheng did a good job in explaining to her.

She handed over the empty plate and Fan Bisheng took it. Zhao Fusheng opened the door of the private room and entered. The place was completely different from the first time she came here.

The room had been cleaned very clean. Broken tables, chairs, bookshelves, etc. had been swept away. The spilled blood had also been washed away, but there were still watermarks that had not completely dried.

The files that were originally scattered on the ground were also collected and temporarily stacked in a bookshelf on one side.

The shelves that were originally covered in dust were also wiped extremely clean, and the bloody spider webs on the top of the head were also cleaned up. The windows were opened, and the whole room suddenly seemed bright and comfortable.

Fan Bisheng followed her with a plate in his hand. After hesitating for a long time, Zhao Fusheng said:

"Just say what you have to say."

She was clearly looking around the room, but as if there were eyes behind her, she took his performance into consideration.

Fan Bisheng's heart trembled and he said quickly:
"Fusheng, that door panel -" He paused for a moment as he said this:

"When we were burying your parents, I was also worried that something might happen, so I took it upon myself to have the door panels and coffin buried in two places."

He had known for a long time that the things associated with evil ghosts might turn into very dangerous things, but he had been on guard against Zhao Fusheng and deliberately kept half of the words when he spoke.

But Zhang Chuanshi's incident sounded a wake-up call for him, and he took the initiative to come to Zhao Fusheng to surrender today.

Zhao Fusheng smiled, knowing that his handling of Zhang Chuanshi's matter had achieved initial results.

Fan Bisheng is indeed a smart man. If he uses it well, it will obviously be helpful to him.

"You did a good job. Then when I have free time, I can dig out the two door panels."

Although Fan Bisheng was mature, he was still young after all. He had always been on tenterhooks before, but when she praised him, he couldn't help but smile.

In the following days, Zhao Fusheng ignored everything else and focused on the files, watching Wan'an County Town Demon Division's experience in dealing with ghosts over the years to learn from his experience.

Ten days passed in a flash.

On this day, Magistrate Pang personally took a sedan chair and took the master and two or three old men with anxious expressions into the office of the Zhenmo Si Mansion.

They brought a new ghost case and wanted to ask Zhao Fusheng to come forward to solve it.
