Chapter 13
CHAPTER XIII
"I ...... Forget it, I don't want it anymore......"
Lao Zhang hesitated for a while, but still shook his head.
He already understood that he was too anxious, and he fell for Zhao Fusheng's words, and was tricked out of the news by her, and at this time he regretted it in his heart, and retreated again and again:
"Forget it, I'm not going to collect the accounts for the time being-"
"That's not going to work."
At this time, he wanted to leave, but Zhao Fusheng did not allow it:
"It is only natural to repay debts."
She pretended to be kind:
"Well, I've mastered the ghosts, and I guess as a neighbor on the left and right, you know."
When Lao Zhang heard this, cold sweat suddenly broke out on his forehead.
A bad premonition arose from his heart, his right eye was jumping, and he was about to speak, Zhao Fusheng said again:
"After all, you should know best about this ghost I have been a neighbor for many years, give first and then take, right?"
She grinned:
"What the hell does this seem to me? It is simply the reincarnation of the God of Wealth! What a ghost to send carbon in the snow! β
ββ¦β¦β
Fan must die, Fan Wusu brother looked incredulous, looking at her eyes indescribable.
"I've tried this ghost's 'ability', including sending money and rice."
Lao Zhang's forehead was sweating even denser, Zhao Fusheng took a step forward, he trembled and desperately retreated:
"No, no, no......"
"Why don't I ask the ghost for 102 taels of silver for you......" Zhao Fusheng didn't finish speaking, and Lao Zhang screamed loudly: "That's not good?" β
"What's not to do?" Zhao Fusheng smiled:
"Isn't it money? If it's not enough, I can ask for more. β
"Nope." Lao Zhang shook his head.
Zhao Fusheng suddenly reached out and grabbed his clothes, he didn't notice that he was being pulled by her for a while, the girl's hand was cold and slender, and then thought of her being entangled in ghosts, and suddenly frightened the old man and kept screaming:
"Ahh Help, helpβ"
"Don't kill me, I don't want money......"
"How can you not do without money? Gotta have to ask for it. β
Zhao Fusheng sneered:
"You can't just ask for it, you have to ask for it all."
"No, no, no, I miscalculated, it's not so much silver, I have to calculate it again-" Lao Zhang said loudly, and at the same time called the Fan brothers for help:
"Fan, Fan Ling's ......"
"Fusheng." The development of things was unexpected by the Fan brothers, and Zhao Fusheng swept away his previous cowardice and became shrewd and strong.
Fan Bi's heart jumped, and he hurriedly spoke:
"Don't kill him, he, he and the paper man Zhang are the same clan ......"
"Yes, yes, yes, the paper man is my distant nephew." Lao Zhang was full of life, and hurriedly said loudly:
"Don't kill me."
"It's just a distant nephew, not a nephew." Zhao Fusheng sneered and didn't eat this set:
"What's more, this so-called paper man Zhang used tricks before and almost killed me, although I didn't die, but my father and mother died, he didn't come to trouble me, I also had to find him to figure out this matter."
Her toughness was beyond Fan Bi's expectations.
But that's how people who control ghosts, dealing with ghosts, after a long time, they will inevitably be affected by ghosts, and their temperament becomes gloomy, cruel and lonely, and it is extremely difficult to deal with.
At this time, she was pregnant with a powerful ghost, and her mentality was swollen for a while, and she didn't know how thick the sky was, and she had seen such a person Fan Bi die, and most of them didn't live long, and in the later stage, she was affected by the ghost, and her actions became more and more uncontrollable.
In less than a year and a half, if you don't die at the hands of ghosts, you will die at the hands of the imperial court.
But that's in the future, and now Zhao Fusheng's 'out of control' is imminent.
If she is allowed to continue and kill Lao Zhang, it is very likely to anger the paper man Zhang.
She is a powerful ghost and is not afraid of trouble, but the Fan brothers will have a headache for this.
The most important thing is that her words reveal a message that makes Fan Bi die uneasy: she is holding revenge on the death of her parents, and she is only temporarily patient.
"Don't kill me, don't kill meβ"
Lao Zhang saw that she couldn't be afraid of the paper figure when she lifted it, and suddenly thought of the ghost riders of the Demon Suppression Division in the past, and suddenly became even more frightened.
"What do you want to take from the Demon Suppressor?"
Zhao Fusheng asked again.
"I ......" Lao Zhang paused when he heard this, and after a while, a look of despair flashed in his eyes:
"I, I said the wrong thing, I just want money......"
He was obviously extremely afraid, and he was very afraid of the powerful ghost on Zhao Fusheng's body, but it seemed that there was something more terrible than the powerful ghost, and when he said it, he would rather die at the hands of the powerful ghost than dare to reveal half a word.
"Fusheng, the paper man Zhang he-"
Fan Bi died when he saw that the situation was not good, and hurriedly played a round again:
"He is not easy to deal with, in the past, when Zhao Qiming was alive, he also did not violate the river water with him, if you want to control the Demon Suppression Division, why do you have to fight with him? What's more, the power of the ghost can't be moved, it has to be a last resort......"
"Afraid of what?" Zhao Fusheng said deliberately:
"You also know, I will definitely die, the difference is that I will die early and late, if he wants to trouble me, my parents are dead anyway, I am a lonely person, and I can't live long, so I will fight with him to break the net."
She had a strong attitude, as if there was no room for negotiation at all.
Fan Bi was speechless at once.
Even if he was as shrewd as him, he looked at his younger brother at a loss, and Fan Wuxuan didn't dare to speak out.
Lao Zhang's face was full of despair, and when he saw this scene, he led the two owners of the incense candle paper money shop who looked like dummy boys, and he had quietly withdrawn from the Demon Suppression Division, slipped back to the shop, and even closed the door tightly.
Just when everyone thought that there was no room for maneuver in this matter, Zhao Fusheng suddenly changed his words, his face turned cold, and his eyes crooked with a smile:
"But Brother Fan is right."
As soon as she let go of her hand, the coffin shop Lao Zhang's legs were unsteady, and he fell to the ground with a 'bang'.
"We're all neighbors, don't do anything too much, right?" She asked with a smile.
"Yes, yes, yesβ" Lao Zhang narrowly escaped death and nodded desperately.
"I miscalculated the coffin money, how can a coffin cost three taels of silver?" He was so frightened that he was dripping with cold sweat, but he didn't dare to reach out and wipe it:
"Besides, as a native of Wan'an County, now that the Demon Division is in trouble, I should help myself, and it is my duty to do it, how can I urge old debts again? It's better to write off ...... lump sum."
He was really afraid of the ghost on Zhao Fusheng's body, and he was also afraid that he would lose his life if he received something that should not belong to him.
"I'll send Zhao Lingsi two more coffins......"
"Nope! How can you let it be delivered? Zhao Fusheng was righteous and awe-inspiring:
"In this way, the coffin money is still calculated, and you can't lose money, but we really don't have the money now......"
"I don't want money...... Lao Zhang hurriedly said.
Without waiting for him to finish, Zhao Fusheng's voice changed:
"I don't have money, but I have a position, now I am the Ling Division, everything is up to me, I will be the master now to pull you into the mansion."
"No, no, no-" Lao Zhang was shocked when he heard this, and then hurriedly refused, Zhao Fusheng took his hand and said:
"As soon as you enter the Demon Division, you will be a person of the court from now on, and you will be a ghost of the court when you die, and once the crisis in Wan'an County is over in the future, the court will give you the money you owe."
"I'm ......" Lao Zhang's eyes widened.
"Don't worry." Zhao Fusheng interrupted him:
"There is no work more stable than the work of the imperial court, this is a law that has not changed for thousands of years!"
She said categorically: "You work for a few more years, and there will be a court for the elderly in the future-" She made a promise irresponsibly, and at the end, she turned her head to look at Fan Wusheng:
"Take out the soul book, Lao Zhang is not our person, and his coffin is unstable for me, so I have to borrow ghost money to make it out first."
She blocked Lao Zhang's back road with one sentence.
After speaking, he added:
"Keep the money owed to him in your account, and the court will pay it back in the future."
ββ¦β¦β
ββ¦β¦β
Fan Wusu and Fan Bi looked at each other.
No one expected such a development, after Zhao Fusheng finished speaking, seeing that the Fan family brothers were not moving, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and urged:
"Don't go yet!"
Fan Bi died to take the jade jade book, and before the ghost book, Lao Zhang tried his best to resist.
He turned his head several times to look behind him, and the man with a big belly looked indifferent, as if he had lost human pity, and did not say a word about the farce in front of him.
Zhao Fusheng looked at him with a smile in his eyes.
In this world, human life is not valuable, although the person who controls the ghost is still a human in name, but the moment he gets along with the ghost, his mind is already distorted, and he is already half human and half ghost when he gets out of control.
Lao Zhang knows that such a person has a perverse temperament, the Demon Division of Wan'an County now exists in name only, Zhao Fusheng's parents are dead, he is successful in controlling ghosts, and he acts crazy and recklessly, and he has no choice at all.
In the end, he had no choice but to bite his index finger, and blood dripped onto the blood book.
In an instant, a black shadow wrapped in blood light appeared on the jade book, turning into a half-bald figure about the height of a palm.
The figure exuded resentment, and finally turned into a bloody name: Zhang Chuanshi.
When Zhao Fusheng saw this scene, he smiled:
"Good."
"You're not afraid of my nephew......"
Zhang Chuanshi was forced into the Demon Suppression Division, and he was extremely unwilling.
At this time, he was clear about the situation of the Demon Division in Wan'an County, and as soon as the blood fell into the soul book, he was tied up here in disguise.
Once the powerful ghost on Zhao Fusheng's body gets out of control, as a person from the Demon Suppression Division, he will also fall into a crisis.
"I'm not sure how long I'll live, so how can I worry about anything else?"
Zhao Fusheng achieved his goal and laughed:
"Now everyone is their own. You send two coffins over, and my father's body must be buried as soon as possible. β
"Humph!"
β¦β¦
Zhang Chuanshi left with the pot-bellied guy with an ugly face, and didn't even take the account book placed on the ground when he left.
Zhao Fusheng also ignored him, anyway, if he left at this time, he would always come back.
The soul book is in her hands, and he can't leave Wan'an County, as for what he wants to take from the Demon Suppression Division, it will come from having a chance to find out.
If this person doesn't send the coffin, she will go to his shop and move it herself.
She looked at the Soul Book and hesitated for a moment, but instead of putting it back into the box, she put it inside the placket of her clothes.
This action made Fan Bi die stunned.
"I'm going to keep this thing close to me." She put her things away and spoke.
Fan Bi didn't speak.
This thing was indeed kept by the Ling Si as usual, but this thing was wrapped in ghost spells, and in doing so, it was a distraction that tied up another 'ghost' by his side in disguise, and every move was very likely to fall into Jia Yi's 'eyes' through the soul book, so the general commander would place this thing separately.
But he thought that Zhao Fusheng was a ghost master, presumably she was worried that the ghosts on her body were gradually getting out of control, so she wanted to use this thing to suppress the ghosts on her body.
He nodded, silent.
Zhao Fusheng asked:
"In the Demon Suppression Division, how are general ghost cases approached?"
"......," Fan Bi gave her a strange look.
When she threatened Lao Zhang before, she smiled and groaned, which made people shudder, and when she mentioned the ghost case at this time, she looked serious, not like she was joking with others.
"Fusheng, dealing with ghosts is not fun." He frowned and reminded:
"The horror of ghosts is indescribable, at this time, you are alone in Wan'an County, and the sky is high and the emperor is far away, why don't you have a good time, why don't you think about touching these ghost cases?"
"I said, I'm going to take charge of the Demon Suppression Division again, and taking on the ghost case is what I'm going to do."
Zhao Fusheng frowned.
She is completely different from the previous Zhao Fusheng, and she has not considered hiding her character.
Maybe she was pregnant with ghosts, and when Fan Bi died and talked to her again, he vaguely felt the pressure.
Fan Bi was silent for a long time, and finally gave up persuasion, so he had to say helplessly:
"Generally speaking, if there are ghosts in the local area, someone must report it first, and then the Demon Suppression Division will dispatch."
But dealing with ghosts is not an easy task.
In the face of some tricky situations, the Demon Suppression Division in various places can dodge and push.
As long as the situation is not bad enough, it is almost the main thing to suppress public opinion first, and the court will first deceive, and then if the matter is too big to clean up, it will be reported again.
Generally speaking, as long as it does not cause chaos in the local area, the imperial court is unable to control these ghost riders in an all-round way, and most of the time they turn a blind eye and close one eye, and everyone can get by on the surface.
For ordinary civilians, although ghosts are also terrifying, sometimes they are terrible and evil.
Ghost riders deal with ghosts, and in the eyes of many people, they are no different from ghosts.
The most terrifying thing is that they may be greedy, lustful, and malevolent, and even more cruel than ghosts.
Sometimes some families would rather have their relatives suffer from the scourge of ghosts than report to the Demon Suppression Division, for fear of causing worse consequences and then the whole house will be affected.
In such a situation, the frequency of ghost incidents under the rule of various counties is not high.
Even in places like Wan'an County, where ghosts and fog are gradually appearing, there are actually very few people who report the case.
"In the past six months, there have indeed been sporadic reports."
However, the Demon Suppression Division was also in crisis at that time, and the Fan brothers themselves were still difficult to protect, so how could they have the time to deal with these things?
