Chapter Twenty-Three: Dig into My Corner
CHAPTER XXIII
Wan'an County now has a ghost fog.
Fan Bisheng himself said that as soon as the ghost fog comes out, the chance of giving birth to a powerful ghost greatly increases - the recovery of the Zhao couple confirms this.
And the Demon Suppression Division in Wan'an County was not when there were many talents.
Now the Demon Suppression Division has been defeated, if you don't add Zhang Chuanshi, who was forcibly pulled into the gang by her today, there are only three of them.
Zhao Fusheng gave orders in danger, the Fan brothers were just envoys, and the most important thing was that they were still bent on running away.
This place was abandoned by the imperial court again, and according to the usual practice, the Chengxi Cemetery should have been laid by a general-level big man to restrain the revival of ghosts, and now there is no more.
"If this Xicheng Cemetery revives, what will happen then?" Zhao Fusheng's face was a little ugly.
Fan Bi didn't answer, but he thought: If the situation wasn't critical, how could our brother want to run away?
He didn't say this, but Zhao Fusheng still saw the thoughts in his heart from his eyes.
Her gaze made Fan Bidan a little uneasy, he turned his head away, did not dare to say what was in his heart, endured it for a long time, and comforted her:
"Don't worry. When Zhao Qiming came last year, he was accompanied by the general Zhou Cong, who had strengthened the ghost seal at that time, and it was August and a half, and there was still more than a month before a year. β
ββ¦β¦β
When Zhao Fusheng heard this, his heart was even more uneasy.
"What happens after that month?"
Fan Bi didn't know how to answer, so he had to choose to remain silent.
"People who have been dead for many years, are there any signs of resurrection?" Zhao Fusheng asked again.
Fan Bi died and said:
"Our brother has been in the Demon Suppression Division for many years, and he has never heard of such a thing before......"
He thought that Zhao Fusheng would ask about Xicheng Cemetery again, but unexpectedly after he said this, Zhao Fusheng changed his words:
"Has your brother been in the Demon Suppression Division for a long time?"
Her thinking was active, her thoughts were out-of-the-box, and her questions were also one sentence from the east and the west, which was completely unexpected by Fan Bidying, so that he was not prepared at all, and many things were inadvertently set out by her.
This feeling of losing control made him a little uneasy, but fortunately, the question Zhao Fusheng asked was not a secret.
In the future, if she has a heart, she can ask this question casually.
He didn't want to hide it, and replied:
"Our brother has been in the Demon Suppression Division for nearly nineteen years......"
After saying this, Fan Bi was keenly aware of the change in Zhao Fusheng's gaze.
"No wonder you're so familiar with so many things." Zhao Fusheng bowed slightly, and asked again at the end:
"I looked at some of the files in the wing, picked out some ghost cases, and found that, as you said, the process of inquiring about ghost cases is full of dangers, so that the probability of death is particularly high."
When she said this, Fan Bi was shocked, and he looked up at Zhao Fusheng almost in surprise, with a look of disbelief in his eyes.
Jiumen Village is a village under the rule of Wan'an County, and most of the people in the village are tenants and live in poverty.
The Zhao family has been poor for several generations, and there is no rice in the house, otherwise they would not have sold their daughter at an extremely low price.
Living in such an environment, the original Zhao Fusheng had low knowledge and should be illiterate.
When she mentioned the file file today and asked about the case of the Liu family's ancestral hall forty years ago, when Fan Bisheng pointed out the location of the wing room where the file was stacked, it was intended to make it difficult for her, but she didn't expect that she not only really checked it, but also revealed that she really understood the words on these files at this time.
You must know that at this time, books are precious, there are very few readers, and among the directors of the Lingsi who have served as ghosts, there are many people who can't read and write, so when the Demon Division of Wan'an County was strong, the government was specially equipped with the position of master for the Lingsi, just to transcribe the case for the director of the Lingsi, and then report it to the imperial court.
"Although I haven't seen the list of envoys in Wan'an County in recent years, I flipped through some random and found that the list of commanders was particularly high. In the past records of the deceased, most of them have only served for a year and a half. β
Zhao Fusheng sensed Fan Bi's suspicions, but she did not hide her intentions.
For her, the most important thing at the moment is to seize the time to get more information and save her life.
As for Fan's suspicion of death, it was just an insignificant matter to her.
With her ghost in her body, the attitude of these two brothers towards her has changed greatly, it can be seen that this world is respected by the strong, as long as she has her life and strength, what if these two brothers are suspicious?
ββ¦β¦ Be. Fan Bidie hesitated for a moment, and finally endured the doubts in his heart and nodded:
"That's what it is, as it normally is, but we're in a special situation."
"Wait." Zhao Fusheng suddenly remembered something:
"Nineteen years ago? If I'm not mistaken, you said in the morning that nineteen years ago, the head of the Demon Suppression Division was named Zhao Duan-"
Fan Bid's forehead was sweating, and he was even more wary of Zhao Fusheng in his heart.
She is completely different from the previous Zhao Fusheng, she is cautious and responsive, she memorizes everything she has said in her heart and compares it repeatedly, which is really terrifying.
"Yes, we were adopted by Zhao Duan back then and brought into the Demon Suppression Division." He reluctantly admitted.
"Hmm." Zhao Fusheng nodded.
Nineteen years ago, Zhao Duan adopted the twin brothers and brought them into the Demon Suppression Division, no wonder the two brothers looked a little weird when they mentioned Zhao Qiming before.
"Even if there is such a relationship, Zhao Duan died not long after sitting in the Demon Division of Wan'an County."
It stands to reason that the county officials are not as good as the current management.
After Zhao Duan's death, the next person to replace him will naturally not care about his interpersonal relationships.
Even if the death rate of the Ling Si and Ling Envoy of the Demon Suppression Division is high, and everyone is afraid that after their death, their wives and children will end up with no one to take care of them, and they are willing to take care of one or two - why can a child adopted by Zhao Duan like the Fan brothers grow up safely and stay in the Demon Suppression Division for nineteen years?
Zhao Duan didn't know how many appointments he had since changed, even if he had left a relationship, after so many years, it had already been wasted.
What's more, Fan Bisheng himself also said that most of the directors of the Ling Division are people who control ghosts, and these people are accompanied by ghosts, and their temperament has long been affected by powerful ghosts, and they have become gloomy, tyrannical, cruel, and extremely difficult to get along with.
In the case of the extremely high mortality rate of the Ling Envoy and the perennial shortage of manpower in the Demon Suppression Division, how can the two brothers survive smoothly?
However, in the book of souls, there are indeed the names of these two brothers, which cannot be faked.
Zhao Fusheng's eyes showed suspicion, Fan Bisheng endured the irritability that gradually rose in his heart, and replied:
"Yes, after we were adopted by Zhao Duan back then, we were only registered in the Demon Suppression Division, but we did not stay in the Demon Suppression Division, he made arrangements for us before he died, and sent us to the Zhao family, we were raised by Brother Qiming since childhood."
"A year ago, Brother Qiming received a transfer from the imperial court, so he took us to Wan'an County together." Fan Bi said calmly.
In the end, Zhao Qiming died, and the ghosts on his body were out of control, while the two brothers have survived to this day.
After figuring out the reason for the matter, Zhao Fusheng had new doubts in his heart.
Fan Bid's eyes were already very vigilant, he guessed in his heart what Zhao Fusheng was going to ask next, he was organizing the language, thinking about how to deal with her question, but Zhao Fusheng changed his words:
"Brother Fanβ"
Fan Bi's body stiffened, and she was about to speak, but she said:
"The imprint of the cemetery in Wan'an County is not very stable now, and the bodies of my parents have shown signs of resurrection, if they are buried in the cemetery, will it cause unrest?"
"......" Fan Bi thought of many questions in her heart, but she didn't expect that she asked about her brother's life history for a long time, and then turned the topic back to the cemetery.
It was as if he was setting up a guard with great fanfare, but Zhao Fusheng just waved a shot and left.
He took a deep breath, forcibly suppressed the feeling of depression in his heart, and squeezed out a smile after a while:
"Maybe it's okay for the time beingβ"
"After all, he is already a recovering ghost, although he has been suppressed by me for the time being, but this is not safe." Zhao Fusheng waved his hand, interrupted him, and then asked:
"If you want to go to Baozhi County, with the characteristics of the Soul Book that you can't get rid of the supervision of the ghost curse for a long time, presumably this Baozhi County should not be far away, right?"
As soon as she asked like this, Fan Bidan suddenly had an alarm bell in his heart, and blurted out:
"What do you want to do?"
As soon as he finished asking, he saw Zhao Fusheng pursing his lips and smiling, and he was immediately annoyed.
The two exchanged words, she was calm and calm, while he lost control of his emotions and fell behind.
"What are you doing in Baozhi County?" Fan Bi held back the uneasiness in his heart, then adjusted his tone and asked again.
"Oh, that's right." Zhao Fusheng said with a smile:
"You also said that the ghosts cannot be killed, and there are only two ways, to drive them away or to temporarily suppress them, and make them fall into a 'sleep' state."
Fan Bidan moved his shoulders very uneasily, swallowed his saliva, and nodded with difficulty.
"Then I'm thinking, Baozhi County is worth your defection, you also mentioned that there is a subordinate Zheng Vice Ling who has commanded a fierce ghost over there, and he is in charge......" After speaking, she turned her head to look at Fan Bi and smiled: "I should have heard it right, right?" β
And sure enough, she heard it!
Fan Bisheng is smart and clever again, and his reflexes are outstanding, and he was repeatedly interrogated by her at this time, and he was also messed up.
The two brothers thought she was dead and were discussing the future at the Demon Suppression Division, when the words fell into her ears.
"We'll just talk about it......" he said with difficulty.
"Don't panic, Brother Fan." Zhao Fusheng reached out and patted his arm.
Fan Bi died like a ghost, his body shook, and he subconsciously took a few steps back, widening the distance between the two sides.
"I don't blame you either, people go to high places, water flows to low places, Wan'an County didn't work before, you want to go, it's not your fault." Zhao Fusheng was unimpressed by Fan Bi's jealousy, and smiled very gently:
"But that's a different story now."
"......" The Fan brothers looked at each other with a numb face.
"Now that the Demon Division of Wan'an County has me, you naturally can't go anymore. However, this Deputy Commander Zheng of Baozhi County is not very kind, he is in Baozhi County, and he is not satisfied with the care of the imperial court, and he still wants to dig into my corner. Zhao Fusheng snorted coldly:
"I'm the most cautious person, and this revenge can't be avenged."
Fan Bi always felt that what she said seemed to be said to herself, and when she was trembling, she continued:
"I was thinking about my father's and mother's corpses, and even if they were temporarily suppressed, it would not be safe to bury them in the cemetery."
"Our Wan'an County is in an eventful season, and there is a backlog of cases of powerful ghosts, and there are few people, and the imperial court still doesn't care about ...... for the time being."
"What do you want to do?" The more Fan Bi listened to it, the more wrong it became, his eyelids couldn't stop beating, and a bad premonition surged into his heart.
Zhao Fusheng said seriously:
"I think Baozhi County is a big place, and Vice Zheng Ling's ability is high, so it's better to temporarily carry my father and mother to Baozhi County and bury them in their cemetery, even if the ghost recovers again, with a master like Zheng Vice Ling, I think it will be foolproof."
Fan Bi was speechless, and the rest of the corpse bearers were also worried, and Zhao Fusheng said again:
"Even if Deputy Zheng can't stand it, isn't there still the imperial court behind him to clean up the aftermath?"
