CHAPTER XXXIII

"I'm not going, I can't go." The man who was dragged by Zhao Fusheng didn't believe her words at all, and when he heard her insistence on going to the south of the city, he was so frightened that he collapsed to the ground:

"I can't go back if I go, my lord spares my life, my lord spares my life-"

As soon as this person heard the words 'Yaofan Hutong', he was so frightened that he lost his mind, and the few people on the street slipped away one after another when they heard the words 'Yaofan Hutong', and the street was empty again in an instant.

Seeing this scene, Zhao Fusheng also felt a little headache, she thought about it, and simply said:

"Then you take me to the mansion, and I will ask the officials in the mansion to help guide the way."

The man was so frightened that he only knew how to cry, Zhao Fusheng grabbed him and shook him a few times, and repeated his words again before he soberly agreed.

The government of Wan'an County has decayed, and Zhao Fusheng went to the yamen, and after letting go of the people who had been arrested to lead the way, he entered the yamen.

It was obviously a blue sky and a white day, but there was no one in the palace.

There was a big drum at the door, and it was covered with dust.

She steadied herself, and after shouting twice without answer, she raised the drum on the side and struck the drum hard, making a deafening sound.

The sound of drums spread, and after a long time, people appeared sporadically in the streets, but there was no movement in the yamen.

It wasn't until a long time later that someone hurriedly shouted:

"Don't knock, don't knock."

An old man with a goatee and sharp-beaked monkey cheeks came out of the inner room with a long robe, he wore a Confucian shirt, dressed as a staff member, and looked like a master holding a pen, when he saw Zhao Fusheng, his worried face was stunned.

"You-"

He saw that it was a girl playing the drum and was about to turn his face, Zhao Fusheng didn't wait for him to say more, and immediately took out a box from his arms.

As soon as the box was opened, a jade jade book was revealed:

"The people of the Demon Suppression Division, I want to go to Yaofan Hutong to handle the case, please cooperate with me, and immediately prepare a mule cart to send me to the south of the city."

She was pressed for time and was too lazy to bother with others, but fortunately, after learning that the soul book was important, she carried this thing with her, and took out the book order to verify her identity at this time.

As soon as the master heard the words 'Demon Suppression Division', his legs suddenly weakened, and he almost fell to his knees.

The imperial court has given up Wan'an County, and since Zhao Qiming came last year, there has never been a newcomer to the Demon Suppression Division.

After that, the town demon division of Wan'an County had accidents one after another, and he died almost completely.

The people in the county government knew that Wan'an County would definitely die, and the county government officials who had connections would have already transferred the law away, and those who had no connections would stay in despair and wait for death.

In recent months, strange cases have gradually appeared in the county, and just when everyone thought that they would definitely die, a new face such as Zhao Fusheng suddenly appeared, claiming to be a person from the Demon Suppression Division to handle the case.

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked.

"You ......"

After the master knelt on the ground, he quickly came to his senses, and wanted to ask something more, but he saw the soul book in Zhao Fusheng's hand.

The book of souls is full of ghost spells, with an eerie and ominous aura.

This kind of ghost thing can't be imitated, it does belong to the soul book undoubtedly, Zhao Fusheng holds this thing, there is no need to explain more, it naturally proves her identity.

"Go."

Zhao Fusheng snorted, and the master came back to his senses.

He hurriedly got up, and in her eyes it seemed that his legs and feet had become much sharper, and he strode into the inner house, and shouted:

"County master, master, the Demon Suppression Division has come to handle the case, Wan'an County has been saved-"

After this toss, the entire government was alarmed.

Not long after, the magistrate of Wan'an County hurried over.

This person is not young, his hair is gray, his body is as thin as bean sprouts, and his face is sad, and he can't know what he will do at a glance.

Even the clothes on his body were not neatly dressed, and his belt was just tied up at random, and he looked at Zhao Fusheng with surprise, speculation and fear in his eyes - only he didn't hear the joy of the Demon Suppression Division when he handled the case.

Zhao Fusheng didn't say much to him, and informed him of his request, Nazhi County nodded again and again, and hurriedly instructed the master to prepare a sedan chair and send Zhao Fusheng to the south of the city.

"Don't have a big sedan chair."

Zhao Fusheng frowned and rejected his kindness:

"It's best to have a carriage, find someone who is good at driving cars, I'm in a hurry, and I want to get to the south of the city as soon as possible."

Her words made the county magistrate secretly look up at her, and hurriedly replied, sending the master to run errands.

"Lord Zhao-" Na Zhixian shook his hands, and secretly looked at Zhao Fusheng with a trembling expression for a long time before he had the courage to ask:

"The matter of asking for food in Hutong has been troubled for a long time, and there is a ghost domain there, which can enter but cannot get out, you are going to go on this trip, but there is another person to answer?"

When he saw Zhao Fusheng's face, he wanted to knock on the side to inquire about Zhao Fusheng's origin.

The magistrate of Wan'an County hopes that Zhao Fusheng is the person sent by the imperial court to clean up the aftermath, and if her identity is verified, it will prove that the imperial court has not completely abandoned this place, and there is still a glimmer of life in Wan'an County.

"Nope."

Zhao Fusheng didn't give him useless hope, she shook her head, and saw that after listening to her response, this old magistrate's body shook twice, as if she had been hit.

At the end he asked:

"And who you are now—"

"I'm the new commander of the Wan'an County Town Demon Division." Zhao Fusheng replied:

"Now that there is a shortage of manpower in the Demon Suppression Division, the other two have already gone to handle another case."

Na Zhixian's face turned pale, and his hands trembled:

"And the case?"

Zhao Fusheng nodded:

"It's fine for the time being." She ordered Fan Bi to die, and the two of them would lead to disaster, as long as this group of people didn't encounter ghosts halfway, they should be fine.

Once the bodies of the Zhao couple are sent to the territory of Baozhi County, it will be a ghost change, and it is none of her business.

Na Zhixian's face was bitter, and there was a look of despair in his eyes, obviously not believing her words very much.

"The ghost disaster in the alley is not light, you, you can be sure to drive away the ......" He thought about it, maybe it was because the Demon Suppression Division had accumulated a lot of power in the past, and he finally didn't ask the rest of the words, but sighed:

"I wish you all the best and a safe return."

The casualty rate of the Demon Suppression Division is not light, and under normal circumstances, if a commander brings more than two orders to accompany him, the people accompanying him may die.

Now that Zhao Fusheng is moving forward alone, Na Zhixian always feels that she may not be able to return on this trip.

But the person of the Demon Suppression Division has a high status and a strange and fierce temper, so he didn't say this.

Zhao Fusheng didn't care about his attitude, and nodded:

"I also hope that I can return safely and smoothly all the way."

"If you come back, I will set up a banquet for you to take care of you."

"Okay."

Zhao Fusheng did not refuse, but nodded happily in response.

While the two were talking, the county magistrate quickly prepared the carriage, and at the same time, the master found an errand to accompany her out of nowhere.

Although the government said that it was a carriage to prepare, I don't know if Zhao Fusheng asked for it as soon as possible, the horse shed was simple and abnormal.

Zhao Fusheng didn't care, and when he got into the car, the officer didn't dare to look at her, and as soon as she sat down, he shook the reins.

The thin horse slowly lifted his feet for a long time, and pulled the cart forward with great difficulty.

As soon as the vehicle moved, Zhao Fusheng turned around and looked in the direction of the mansion, and saw the elderly magistrate and the master standing together, and the two looked at the direction she left worriedly, as if her departure also determined the life and death of many people.

There were not many onlookers on both sides, her previous drumming action alarmed this street, many people learned her identity, at this time when they learned that the Demon Suppression Division was handling the case, many people stared at her blankly, that look curious, some were purely to see the excitement, but there was no hope for her exorcism.

For some reason, Zhao Fusheng was a little uncomfortable.

She frowned, and accosted the chariot officer:

"Big brother, what is your surname?"

Her words 'big brother' almost scared the man who was driving the car and fell to the ground.

"Don't dare to be called like an adult, my name is Liu Huai, the fifth in the family, if you don't mind, call me Liu Wu."

He was tall, but not stout, with a beard and a somewhat sparse hair.

Zhao Fusheng was silent for a moment and asked:

"Wan'an County is now-"

She originally wanted to ask about the current situation in Wan'an County, but she had not been in this world for a long time, and she could already see the basic appearance of this county.

The wealthy families in the county almost moved away, and those who remained were those who could not afford to flee.

There is no hope here, and the living are like the walking dead, believing that they are certain to die.

There was no laughter in the county, no children's crying, the county government was like a pool of stagnant water, and the whole county lost its vitality.

What's there to ask about this?

When she lived in modern times, she was just an ordinary person, but now she can't protect herself after being reborn, but she is under pressure.

Zhao Fusheng slowly exhaled turbidity, but he always felt like a big stone in his heart.

She no longer tried to inquire about the situation in Wan'an County, but instead asked about the food alley:

"Tell me about the Confucius Temple."

“…… Be. ”

That Liu Wuyi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he heard her ask about the Confucius Temple.

Confucius Temple is a legend in Wan'an County, and everyone knows it.

"The predecessor of this Confucius Temple is actually the Liu Family Ancestral Hall-" Liu Wu started from the Liu Family Ancestral Hall.

Although Zhao Fusheng had already learned some of the circumstances of the case from the file and the paper man's mouth, she did not interrupt Liu Wu's words, but listened to him mention the grand occasion of the Liu family in the past.

In the past, Liu was one of the top squires and wealthy families in Wan'an County, and was the guest of honor of the big people of the Town Demon Division and the county government, and was extremely famous in Wan'an County.

"Wan'an County back then was not like this, then after Master Liu returned to his hometown, he ran the Liu family prosperously, this Master Liu is kind and charitable, and he is a well-known good man in the city——"

When Liu Wu said this, he glanced at Zhao Fusheng worriedly.

Seeing that Zhao Fusheng didn't reprimand him and let him get to the point, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, his courage gradually grew a little bigger, and he no longer looked as restrained as before when he spoke.

Zhao Fusheng saw that the time was ripe, so he asked:

"I heard that on Master Liu's birthday, he was also haunted at that time."

"Who's to say it's not?" Liu Wu saw that she was 'kind', and dared to smile a little when she spoke:

"Coincidentally, my grandfather also experienced the disaster back then, and said that he almost lost his life."

As soon as he said this, Zhao Fusheng suddenly perked up.

"Tell me."

"Okay." Liu Wu nodded vigorously, and came to the end:

"On the day of Master Liu's 60th birthday, his sons were filial and arranged a flowing water banquet for him to feast the people of Wan'an County, intending to gather the blessings of all the people and wish him an infinite life."

"At that time, there were many people who went, and the government was afraid of chaos, so they sent some errand officers to go, and my father was also on an errand in the class room at that time, and we and Mr. Liu's family were both surnamed Liu, according to my father, he was also a distant relative earlier, and he could barely get a little relationship, relying on this way, my father also fought for this beautiful errand."

In order to make these people more attentive on duty, in addition to the necessary food and drink, the Liu family will arrange it properly, and at the same time, the steward will give each person on duty an additional birthday bag, which also contains some copper coins.

"The Liu family is generous, in addition, they also invited an opera troupe, and when the class is set up, there will also be a small servant who carries out a basket of money to sprinkle money when singing."

This Liu Wu is quite eloquent, and with his narration, Zhao Fusheng can almost imagine the grand occasion of Liu Huacheng's birthday forty years ago.

"This is really a lot of money, and my father has also grabbed a lot, the troupe sings non-stop at twelve o'clock a day, and after this round of singing, it will change to another round, no matter day or night."

People who sprinkle money will also appear at any time, so the people who go to the birthday banquet are very excited, and everyone eats and takes, and at the same time there is a lively view, not to mention how happy they are.

"Everyone didn't dare to close their eyes, for fear of missing the money-" Speaking of this, Liu Wu's eyes showed a look of longing and yearning.

But soon, out of the corner of his eye, he noticed that Zhao Fusheng frowned, and he was immediately vigilant, and suddenly he was like someone splashing a bucket of cold water on his head, and he suddenly sobered up.

He realized that Zhao Fusheng was going to ask about the Confucius Temple, not Liu Huacheng's birthday banquet that year.

"And the change happened on the third night of the flowing water seat."

When he talked about the past, his face also showed surprise:

"It is said that in the middle of the night, the play sang to the third stage, and when the actors were finishing the gong, the family took out copper coins and spilled them, and two people fought to pick up a coin."

After talking about business, Zhao Fusheng's expression became serious, her body straightened, and she moved closer in the direction of Liu Wu.

"It's a common occurrence."

Man dies for money, and birds die for food.

It is not easy to make money in this world, and the original Zhao Fusheng bought his family's life with only five copper plates.

At that time, the Liu family was carrying a basket of money and sprinkling money, how could there be no dispute?

The reason why no one was killed was because the Liu family was strong and hired someone to take care of the home, and others were afraid that the matter would be blown out by the Liu family, and they would have no way to eat, drink and get money.

"Who's to say it's not?"

Liu Wu nodded, and said fearfully:

"At that time, both of them reached out at the same time to pick up the big coin, and both sides said that the money was their own, and they argued with each other."

Originally, the Liu family held a happy event, and there were public servants stationed there, generally speaking, both sides of the fight knew what was good or bad, and it was enough to stop, and one person finally took a step back.

But that day, it seemed that he had fallen into an evil spirit, and the more the two quarreled, the more angry they became, and they even started fighting.

"During the fight, I pushed down the table and chairs, and my father saw someone making trouble at that time, and his heart was furious, and he called a few errand officers to prepare to blast these two unknown things out of Liu's house."

When he said this, he paused for a moment, and his eyes showed a look of horror:

"Unexpectedly, during the fight, these two people actually hit the table next to them, and the others were busy dodging, and one of them avoided more slowly, and was swept to the head by an arm."

When Liu Wu said this, his teeth 'gurgle', and he was so frightened that his face was colorless, and he couldn't speak.

Zhao Fusheng was shrewd and abnormal, and when he saw that he was scared, he answered:

"This is really a disaster, this person is beaten, he must be angry in his heart, and he will definitely fight back."

It's okay that she didn't say this, as soon as she answered, Liu Wu suddenly shook her head again and again, but he just shook it twice, and hurriedly stretched out a hand to hold his neck:

"No, no, the head of the man who was beaten fell to the ground suddenly."

“！！！”

Double more in one~~~

At two o'clock in the afternoon, there will be a double more in one~!
