Chapter 244: Purpose
Mei Nu hesitated for a long time, and finally relented: "It's for the Zhan family......"
In just half a day, Mei Nu explained the cause and effect clearly.
The task she received from Chenghuang was to possess the daughter of the Zhan family and persuade Zhan Xiucai to do things for Chenghuang.
If Zhan Xiucai does not cooperate, he will let Zhan Xiucai and Mrs. Zhan "die of illness", and turn all the Zhan family's property into silver taels and hand them over to the government soldiers to transport away.
In addition to this task, Mei Nu knows no more than Aiqing.
Song Yushan opened the Yin Gathering Array for Mei Nu and left the room.
She had always thought it was strange.
This city god, day and night, stays in the underworld, either ghosts or ghosts, and cannot be a living person.
Since he is not a living person, he does not need money.
But he made a nondescript "sinner priest" and let the female ghost be a prostitute to earn him money.
Now that Song Yushan knows, maybe Chenghuang himself can't spend silver, but he can ask the people of the Yang world to help him spend silver.
Otherwise, he would not have let Mei Nu possess him, and first urged Zhan Xiucai to be used by him.
But Chenghuang didn't force this too much, and only asked Mei Nu to try to persuade, but if she couldn't convince her, she directly killed people and took money.
Song Yushan estimated that it was because of Zhan Xiucai's personality that everyone in the county knew about it.
Even if a female ghost becomes his "daughter", it is difficult for him to change his style of acting and become Chenghuang's lackey in the yang world.
"Zhan Xiucai, it shouldn't be the only choice for Chenghuang in the Yang world!" Song Yushan quickly realized this.
If Zhanxiu is the only one, there will not be two ways for Chenghuang to give Mei Nu a task.
When Aiqing and Mei Nu died, the Taihang Yin World was like this, and it was not later that they began to accumulate wealth.
Therefore, Song Yushan speculated that in this Taihang County, at least ten years ago, there were already living people used by the city god!
In this way, the money that Chenghuang managed to earn could be spent and buy what he wanted!
Chenghuang put on such a big show in the netherworld, he will not let other ghosts know, and he will have to rely on mortals.
Then he must have contacted this person personally!
If he finds this person, Song Yushan will have a chance, and in the Yang world, he will meet this city god for a while.
As long as she takes a look at it for herself, whether it is a ghost or a god, there will be an answer.
Whether it is a ghost or a ghost god, it is easier to deal with him while he is in the yang world than her to fight the yin world.
After all, the strength of ghosts is inferior to monks and demons, which means that they are in the yang world.
If it is in the netherworld, a steady stream of yin qi contains ghosts, but the monks and demons are restricted in exerting their strength, this rise and fall, but the ghosts have the advantage.
But who is this person?
But no matter who it is, there's a place where you can find out!
Song Yushan went to the place where the funeral shops in Taihang County were concentrated.
Although Mei Nu said that the Chenghuang Mansion is extremely luxurious, the houses are tall and majestic, and the gold is splendid, whether it is from a distance or close to the neighbors, there is no trace of paper paste, like a miracle.
It really doesn't look like a mere papermaker can make something from the description.
But the armor on those government soldiers is just a spectacle, made of paper.
This also shows once again that this city god is very likely not to be a serious ghost and god, otherwise his soldiers would not be so shabby.
Song Yushan remembered that on the day her father went to work, the soldiers who came from the family were wearing cold armor!
Since there are papier-mâché things in Chenghuang, it means that he also used a lot of things in this mortal funeral shop.
Go and see who doesn't have zombies, but often frequents the funeral shop, you can narrow down the scope and find that person!
In the next few days, Song Yushan rested at night, and went to the funeral shop in the city to keep an eye on it during the day with invisibility charms and breathing charms.
I observed it for several days, but there was no result.
Even if it did, she followed it and found that it wasn't.
Here in the funeral shop, if no clues are found, there is only one possibility.
The man either had a paper maker or was a paper maker himself.
Song Yushan thought about it, went to Zhan's house, and asked Zhan Xiucai to help check who purchased more inferior paper and ink in the county.
Zhanjia opened a paper mill and an ink mill, the paper and ink business in the city, his family monopolized, check this, find him to find a quasi!
"County?"
This is the second largest official in Taihang County.
I have heard it before, saying that the current county magistrate of Taihang County is greedy for money, and the officials in the county, except for the county magistrate, can be bought.
This county is an official who spends money to buy.
Song Yushan got the results and immediately went to investigate secretly.
It is said that the inferior paper and ink and other things I bought were sent to the mountain villa in the bamboo forest outside the city.
She went here first.
In the villa, Song Yushan found servants making paper and semi-finished and finished paper tied at random.
In the villa, there is also an empty courtyard with paper ash on the ground.
Song Yushan suddenly remembered that Zhanxiu was a popular candidate for the county order.
The original prefectural magistrate is old, and after his death, the prefectural magistrate will appoint a prefectural magistrate again, and he will definitely give priority to those who have meritorious fame.
Outsiders don't want to come to this poor country, so they can only be selected from the local area.
If there is a local meritorious name, there is only one person who shows off his talents.
If Zhan Xiucai dies and there is no one with a meritorious name, he will be promoted from among the officials below, and at that time, there is a great possibility that this county will be on the throne.
Thinking about it this way, nine times out of ten those who join forces with Chenghuang will be the county prince.
If the county is really put on the throne, the city god of Taihang County is afraid that it will not only be able to commit murder in the yin world, but also harm the yang world!
When he arrived at the county mansion, Song Yushan found that there was no obvious yin qi left here.
In the spacious mansion, all the open space is paved with stone bricks, there is not a single tree, not a single flower, and there is no rockery pond.
It looks very neutral and bright, except under the eaves, I can't find a shade.
And the county Cheng himself was basking in the sun on the deck chair in the yard and did not take any sun protection measures.
He doesn't have any yin qi on his body, and his body is very tough, but he seems to be constantly exposed to the sun, and his exposed skin is darker.
Although there is no trace of yin qi, the layout of his house, as well as the habit of basking in the sun under the scorching sun, all indicate his abnormality.
In addition, his eyes are not very ordinary, he is actually a natural eye!
A mortal who was born with heavenly eyes and has never cultivated, if he is not protected by a ghost, how can he live such a comfortable life?
It must be him!
Song Yushan secretly retreated, she had to be careful not to let the county see her.
Born with heavenly eyes, he can not only see ghosts, but also see the spiritual charm of monks.
Taking advantage of the fact that it was still dark, she carefully explored the terrain of the Chengfu in the county, and even found the nearby entrance to the netherworld one by one.
Then I found myself a good night staring spot, ready to wait here for the city god to come to the door!
She couldn't wait to get the deal done.
I have delayed too much time in Taihang County, and I am afraid of alarming the ghosts, so I don't dare to cultivate, I am really panicked!
