I become a god in another world

Chapter 86

Zhao Fusheng made an impromptu decision and prepared to go to the begging alley.

The beggar alley is very important. There are two evil ghosts in it who suppress each other and have not yet recovered. The beggar ghost who has lost an arm will need her to deal with it sooner or later.

It would be best to wait until she finishes another ghost case, accumulates 1000 merit points, and opens the second level of hell.

Once the beggar ghost is subdued, there are only two big ghosts left in Confucius Temple to restrain each other. In this way, even the paper man Zhang hiding in the dark dare not take action to break the balance for the time being.

The crisis in Wan'an County can be relieved for a moment, allowing her to focus on solving ghost cases and increasing her strength.

She was thinking about something in her mind, but her face didn't show any clues.

The handyman listened to her instructions, responded quickly, and hurried out to prepare the horses and carriages.

Other servants in the government office brought a chair for her and asked her to wait. Within a quarter of an hour, someone came in from outside to say that the carriage was ready.

Zhao Fusheng got up and went out.

The sun came out in Wan'an County today, but whether it was Zhao Fusheng's misunderstanding or not, the sunshine in August was not bright and hot. Instead, it felt gray when it shone across the county.

The fallen leaves on the long street outside the Demon Suppression Division have been swept away, but many abandoned shops on both sides have not been renovated and look a bit shabby.

She glanced at the closed shops. The driver noticed her eyes, seemed to have guessed her thoughts, and said in a flattering manner:
"My lord, don't look at the deserted situation at this time. Uncle Fan gave the order last night and we will find someone to repair these shops today."

He waited for Zhao Fusheng to sit down, then quickly shook the reins and said:
"When the shop is repaired and your reputation spreads far and wide, the shop here will be hard to come by, and it will probably be crowded with people in the future!"

Zhao Fusheng looked out:

"Have you seen the lively scenes in the past?"

"I have seen."

The coachman nodded:
"I also came here with my father when I was a child. It was very lively here at that time. Everyone wanted to go here. Even the vendors who wandered the streets to sell goods had to pay to get in."

He seemed to be recalling the grand occasion.

Zhao Fusheng smiled and asked:
"Are you from Wan'an County?"

"Yes, our family has lived in Zhangjiakou Alley in the east of the city for generations. My father once worked as a handyman in the county government."

From his words, Zhao Fusheng discovered that Fan Bisheng was very particular about selecting people. He was not randomly looking for people to deal with himself. He should have asked Magistrate Pang to investigate behind the scenes, and the people he hired were all clean and easy to control.

She nodded and chatted with the coachman all the time.

This man's grandfather had been an errand in the county government, so he had some knowledge, he was not very courageous, and his words were measured and not boring. He had lived in Wan'an County for generations and knew a lot about Wan'an County.

He intended to please, so the journey was not boring.

Soon the carriage arrived at the south of the city. Before entering the Beggar Alley, Zhao Fusheng accidentally looked at the intersection in the distance.

Po Meng's stall is still open.

After the ghost case in the Beggar Alley was solved, the place gradually gained popularity, and two soup drinkers sat at the stall.

As if they heard the sound of the carriage, the people over there turned their heads to look this way.

Zhao Fusheng's heart moved.

"Sir, would you like to go say hello?"

The coachman was keenly aware of Zhao Fusheng's gaze at this moment and asked.

She had finished the ghost case in the begging alley and drank two bowls of soup at Po Meng's stall. The news had already spread in Wan'an County.

Now everyone in the county knows that this old woman has a relationship with the new head of the Demon Suppression Commander. As the situation in the county gradually stabilizes, many people are willing to come here to sit and sit in their free time.

"No need for now."

She shook her head:
"Just go into the begging alley and drop me off in front of the Confucius Temple."

"okay."

The coachman responded, and the carriage went directly into the begging alley without stopping.

This is her second time in Begging Alley.

Without the ghost fog, the place looks much brighter.

Magistrate Pang knew that she valued this place and sent people to clean it up.

However, many collapsed buildings have not yet been repaired, leaving traces of the ravages of evil spirits.

There were people from the yamen patrolling the streets. When they saw the carriage arriving, they might have recognized the logo of the Demon Suppression Division and hurriedly came forward to say hello.

The carriage stopped in front of the Confucius Temple. As soon as Zhao Fusheng got off the carriage, he saw Liu Yizhen standing at the door of the temple.

She was stunned for a moment, then turned to the coachman and said:

"You go back first and pick me up after evening."

The driver responded and drove away.

Zhao Fusheng watched the car leave, then turned to look at Liu Yizhen, looked him up and down for a long time, and then smiled:
"It seems you knew I was coming."

There is something in her words.

Liu Yizhen heard it and shook his head:

"The person who tipped me off was not a human being."

When Zhao Fusheng heard this, his heart moved: "Is it a ghost?"

Liu Yizhen nodded slightly.

His action shocked Zhao Fusheng:
"Is there any sign of the beggar's recovery?"

"Not yet." Liu Yizhen shook his head.

Perhaps because he has been with ghosts for many years, he seemed a little indifferent: "It's just because you disintegrated it and took away its arms."

He gestured with his right arm:

"So when you get close, its reaction is the greatest."

His mission in the Confucius Temple was to guard the three ghosts who were temporarily asleep, so he knew all about the changes in each ghost.

Liu Yizhen was also startled when he began to sense a mutation in the ghost breath in the temple, and then guessed that it was the arrival of Zhao Fusheng that caused the change in the ghost.

"When I came out and took a look, it turned out to be you."

After he finished speaking, he added:

"But after all, it's not a complete expulsion, nor is it a complete seal. It's just a temporary peace of mind due to decomposition, not to mention that there are still people watching eagerly——"

Having said this, he raised his head and glanced at Zhao Fusheng.

The two exchanged glances and both understood that the existence of the paper man Zhang was a huge hidden danger.

This person covets the ghost coffin, and sooner or later he will take action again. If this cancer is not removed, sooner or later there will be another disaster in Wan'an County.

Zhao Fusheng nodded:
"Don't worry, I know what to do."

The extraordinary skills she showed during the ghost disaster in Begging Alley made her words extremely convincing. Liu Yizhen's tense face relaxed and he smiled.

Just as he was about to speak, Zhao Fusheng continued:

"After a while, I will ask the beggar to leave first."

Liu Yizhen was really relieved now.

Despite his calmness at this time, he was living in the same house with three ghosts after all, especially since one of the ghosts was unstable and there was the threat of a paper man outside, so the danger was self-evident.

If Zhao Fusheng could invite a ghost away, that would be even better.

"Where are you going to send the ghost?"

While feeling relieved, he asked casually and even made suggestions:

"It's better to send it to Baozhi County-"

Liu Yizhen showed a sincere look on his face:

"The Demon Suppressor in Baozhi County is pretty good. Deputy Commander Zheng, who controls the evil-level ghosts, is probably not going to die soon. If he dies, it's not fun for the evil-level ghosts to lose control." He said:

"If you send a evil-level ghost over at this time, even if Deputy Zheng resurrects the ghost and dies, and the two ghosts are in conflict with each other and a balance is reached, the court may reward you and the people will be grateful to you."

"..."

What he said left Zhao Fusheng speechless.

"I will consider it later."

She thought about it and shook her head:
"But forget about the beggars."

When she rejected the proposal, Liu Yizhen was slightly stunned:
"If you don't send Baozhi County, then where do you want to invite this ghost?"

The situation in Wan'an County is critical. Most of the surrounding counties are weak. If the evil spirits flow to other counties, they will kill countless people.

When solving the ghost trouble in the begging alley that day, the character and temperament shown by Zhao Fusheng was completely different from Liu Yizhen's previous impression of a ghost controller. He thought that Zhao Fusheng did not like the death of innocent people and would try to avoid ghost trouble.

"I'm going to invite the ghosts to the Demon Suppression Department."

"..." This time it was Liu Yizhen's turn to be stunned.

After a long time, he lost his voice and said:
"Are you going to take the ghost away?" "Yes."

She nodded without dwelling on this issue:

"Has there been any unusual activity in the temple recently?"

Liu Yizhen was filled with doubts.

The body of the beggar ghost was mutilated, and one arm was in Zhao Fusheng's hand. Once she revived, the ghost himself would pester her to retrieve the arm.

Everyone was anxious to get rid of the ghost, but she wanted to bring the trouble to her family instead.

What on earth was she planning on taking the initiative to take the ghost away?

The decomposed body of the evil ghost is very close at hand, and it is only a matter of time before the evil ghost recovers.

Liu Yizhen could guess that she had other plans, but the relationship between the two was still shallow, so even if she had a secret, she couldn't tell him.

Zhao Fusheng did not want to discuss this issue in detail, so Liu Yizhen had no choice but to hold back his doubts and said instead:
"It's fine for now."

Although he said this, his brows were furrowed, and it was obvious that he had something to hide.

Zhao Fusheng's heart moved and he asked:

"For now? Is there any trouble that hasn't been resolved?"

Liu Yizhen hesitated for a moment, then shook his head:

"It's indeed a bit troublesome, but it's not a big problem."

He was in the same room with three ghosts, and his calm nature was evident.

What Liu Yizhen can call 'troublesome' cannot be a trivial matter.

However, he chose not to say it at this time, and Zhao Fusheng did not force it for the time being.

She still has a lot of troubles of her own now, and there are some things she can only turn a blind eye to, and wait until later.

However, she was worried about the long nights and dreams, so she decided to handle the ghost case earlier and get rid of the body of the beggar first.

"By the way, I heard that you took on another ghost case the day before yesterday—"

Liu Yizhen also took the initiative to change the topic, and Zhao Fusheng nodded along with his words:
"I took on a ghost case. Speaking of which, this case has something to do with your Liu family."

The two of them coincidentally avoided topics involving their own secrets and instead brought up the ghost case, which was considered a pleasant conversation.

Zhao Fusheng talked about the case in Kotou Village and stayed in the begging alley for most of the day. In the evening, he said goodbye to Liu Yizhen and went out.

Liu Yizhen was about to send her off, but Zhao Fusheng smiled and said:
"Now in Wan'an County, I'm afraid no one who has no eyesight dares to mess with me."

Even if there are people who commit crimes, her strength will be greatly increased after controlling the evil spirits. Generally, people with sallow complexion and thin muscles may not be her opponents.

Even if she encounters a strong man, her ghost arm is enough to deal with him.

"I asked the people from the Demon Suppression Division to pick him up in the evening. I'm going to sit outside now."

"Outside?" Liu Yizhen asked curiously.

"There is a soup shop outside the begging alley, and the stall owner is an old woman named Meng." She explained.

When Liu Yizhen heard what she said, he understood:

"Grandma Meng."

"Yes." She nodded and asked curiously:

"You know her too?"

"I heard it from my father." Liu Yizhen replied:

"She came here ten years ago. She initially said she was looking for relatives, but nothing happened after that. Maybe she couldn't go back to her family, so she set up a stall and sold soup there to make a living."

Zhao Fusheng thoughtfully said:
"I see."

Liu Yizhen looked down at her:
"Do you think she's weird?"

He and Zhao Fusheng didn't get along for long, but smart people all had the same tacit understanding in some aspects.

Zhao Fusheng is smart and suspicious. She will not befriend a woman she has never met for no reason. She must have her own reasons for doing so.

"No." Zhao Fusheng smiled and replied:

"I just think Po Meng is very lucky."

When the ghost case occurred in Begging Alley that day, the ghost domain enveloped the entire Begging Alley, ending just at the intersection where Po Meng set up her stall.

After the ghost case happened, she still set up a stall there every day, but nothing happened. This was really strange.

"Do you suspect there is something wrong with her?" Liu Yizhen heard her implication and frowned.

"She's not a ghost."

"I know she's not a ghost."

Ghosts have no reason or memory and only rely on instinctive laws to harm people.

And she had had conversations with Po Meng, so she naturally knew that Po Meng was not a ghost.

"I'm just going to sit there."

Liu Yizhen nodded:

"It's up to you, but you have handled two ghost cases. Although the ghost power was not used in the Kotou Village case, you must be careful of the ghost's resurgence."

He pointed at the shadow at Zhao Fusheng's feet and reminded him.

Zhao Fusheng responded with a smile:
"I know, let's go."

She left the begging alley and headed to Po Meng's stall.

At this moment, there were still a few people at the stall. When she came over alone, several men who were carrying soup glanced at her and before they spoke, Po Meng stood up and came to greet her.

"Big--"

Zhao Fusheng waved his hand and said:

"It's been a long time since I've been here. I'm free today, so I just came to sit down."

When Po Meng heard what she said, she knew that she didn't want to expose her identity too much, so she nervously grabbed her apron to wipe her hands and nodded a little awkwardly.

"I'll treat you to some soup." Po Meng stood there for a long time, and then turned around to serve the soup. Zhao Fusheng said:
"No need to ask, I brought the money!"

After saying that, she took out a bunch of copper coins from her arms and shook them twice.

The copper coins made a crisp sound when they hit her. Several men who were drinking soup looked up at the same time and saw the coins in her hand, with salivating eyes.

But these days, begging alleys are under strict control.

I don't know why Pangzhi County went crazy, and sent many more government officials around here every day. At this time, even if they were itching for money, they didn't dare to make any small moves, but they all took the soup and sipped it in a tacit understanding. One sat still.

When Zhao Fusheng saw this scene, he couldn't help but sneer in his heart.

These people have evil eyes and look evil after seeing the money.

There are a large number of government officials in the beggar alley and these people dare to have evil intentions. Even if such people do not commit crimes today, there is no guarantee that they will not commit crimes in the future.

Rather than having other people suffer in the future, it would be better if it fell into her hands and she took care of them in one fell swoop.

Anger arose in her heart.

At this moment, Po Meng put a bowl of soup in front of her.

As soon as the soup was delivered, the heat rushed to her face, making her feel murderous.

When Zhao Fusheng smelled the aroma, he suddenly realized that he had almost lost control of his emotions.

She is not a real member of the Han Dynasty, and the moral stamp has long been imprinted on her heart.

But at that moment, when she thought about killing someone, she didn't hesitate at all.

It seems that the possession of evil ghosts still has an impact on her. The list of gods can only eliminate some of the interference of evil ghosts on her emotions, but some of her concepts have changed so subtly that she herself is not aware of this change.

She took a deep breath:

"It smells good."

After finishing speaking, she slapped the money on the table and said while holding the bowl:
"How is business lately? Do you dare to make trouble and act crazy at your place?"

When Po Meng saw her taking out the money, she felt uneasy, fearing that something bad would happen to her stall.

Then after listening to what she said, I felt that the Lord of the Demon Suppression Division was deliberately trying to reveal his identity and drive away these irrelevant people.

She calmed down and tentatively replied:

"Thanks to you, since last time you came to sit with me for a while after finishing the case of the Beggar Alley Ghost, my place has been much peaceful in the past half month..."

When Po Meng spoke, she carefully looked at Zhao Fusheng's face, and felt relieved when she saw that she had no objection.

As soon as she said these words, the expressions of the other soup drinkers suddenly changed.

Even the most stupid person realizes who Zhao Fusheng is.
