Chapter Ninety-Eight: Treasure Knows Ghosts
Chapter Ninety-Eight
In the dossier room, Zhao Fusheng heard Dahan talk about the ghost case in Baozhi County, and before the doctor came, he finally asked the ins and outs of the future.
Half a month ago, someone reported a case in a place called Changguifang under the rule of Baozhi County, saying that a temple outside the county had suffered a ghost disaster, and a total of 27 people died in the temple, along with the monks and pilgrims who placed orders!
The scene was tragic and extraordinary, but because the temple was lonely, about ten miles away from Baozhi County, no one noticed whether the temple was shrouded by ghosts at the time of the incident.
It wasn't until a few days later, when pious pilgrims went up the mountain to worship the Buddha, that they found that the temple had been slaughtered, and they were frightened a little crazy on the spot.
This case is very big.
Baozhi County has always been peaceful.
Zheng He has been driving ghosts for nearly two years, handled three ghost cases, and has been rewarded by the imperial court, and is famous in the state and county.
Under his governance, Baozhi County has always been peaceful, and in the past two years, there have been almost no ghost cases in the center of the county, and everyone said: Deputy Zheng Ling is angry, like a living Hades, and the ghosts must avoid him when they see him.
In Baozhi County, Deputy Zheng Ling's status is extraordinary, and the rich and squires have paid tribute one after another, raising Zheng Vice Ling's wealth.
Under such circumstances, the rumors of the haunting of the temple spread, and the appearance of peace in the entire county was broken.
After all, this temple is not far from the center of the main city of Baozhi County, and the distance of about ten miles is like a string of doors for the ghosts.
The rich squire, who thought he was at ease, was shocked on the spot, and he couldn't wait to drag his family and live in the Demon Division, praying for the protection of Vice Commander Zheng.
But Vice Zheng Ling knows the current situation himself.
He has been working for two years, and he is already an old man in this industry, and he is on the verge of the recovery of powerful ghosts, and if he does another ghost case, he will definitely die.
Therefore, the moment the case entered the Demon Suppression Division, Deputy Zheng immediately made a decision, and did not characterize the case as a ghost case, but asserted that the case was someone seeking revenge, so he destroyed the temple in a fit of rage.
At the time of the incident, no one found the ghost domain, and no one witnessed the murder of the ghost, so he publicly condemned the case as a human disaster and threw it to the local county government.
The local county government naturally knew that the slaughter of the temple was very likely to be related to ghosts, but Zheng Vice Ling was a ghost master, and he was the emperor of the soil in Baozhi County, and what he said was heaven in the local area, who dared to refute it?
The people of the government took this black pot and began to investigate the case of the destruction of the temple in a trembling heart.
After all, it is a place where the ghosts have stayed, and the government officials dare to go there, so they only pretend to visit around the county.
Anyway, it was only some monks who died, and the pilgrims who were attached to them were not wealthy families, and the people in the county government had also cooperated with Zheng He in the past, and both sides knew each other's routines.
As long as the people don't raise the case, the officials don't hold them accountable, and then they will casually arrest someone to take the crime, and it will be said that Jiangyang has committed a crime and robbed the temple, and the case will be closed.
Both sides wanted to put this ghost case down, but the destruction of the temple was only the beginning, not the end.
A few days later, there was a family surnamed Cao in Baozhi County who died overnight!
The case was reported to the county government and the Demon Division, and Zheng He still wanted to characterize the case as a private revenge.
But the death of the temple and the Cao family was just a precursor, and then the ghosts began to commit crimes frequently, and everyone in the county government hurriedly wanted to cover up the case.
At the beginning, he could still coax the people, until later there was a big family surnamed Sun in the county, and a family of seventy or eighty people all died tragically at the hands of powerful ghosts overnight!
There was a river of blood in the Sun Mansion, everyone died in a miserable state, and the corpse was left with the evil aura of a powerful ghost, and this person had a lot of money, and he was also a firm worshipper of Zheng He in the past.
After the Sun family was wiped out, it shocked Baozhi County, and all the squires and wealthy families were unable to sit still.
After investigation, the Sun family was full of gold, and the treasure Zhucui was not missing.
This time, the crime of the 'Jiangyang thief' couldn't stop the mouths of the businessmen and local tyrants, and everyone gathered in the Demon Suppression Division to force Deputy Zheng to take action.
Zheng He finally couldn't sit still, he panicked in his heart, so he had to pretend to let people investigate the cause of the ghost first.
It's just that ghosts kill people without a trace, and in just half a month, the ghosts have killed so many people, and no one knows where the ghosts are coming from.
However, Zheng He later counted and found that in the past few days, there have been more than a dozen cases reported.
Almost all of the people who suffered the scourge were murdered by their entire families, and with the fact that the Sun Mansion was full of people, there were more than 300 people killed by ghosts in half a month!
This number frightened Zheng He, who is now in a half-crazy state.
You know, ghosts aren't static.
If there are too many man-made sins killed, ghosts will be promoted to the next level, even if this ghost thing was originally just a non-climatic ghost, after the baptism of human blood, it will grow to at least the point of being above the level of evil in half a month!
This is only Zheng He's preliminary estimate.
And judging from the current situation, it is possible even above the level of evil.
Not to mention that he is already weak now, even when he is strong, he doesn't dare to do it.
The powerful ghost he commanded was only at the evil level, and if the haunted ghost in Baozhi County had reached above the evil level, even if he made another move, he would only add a little bit to the battle traces of this powerful ghost.
Zheng He can even imagine what others will say after his death - Baozhi County is famous and Zheng Deputy Lingzhi County is incompetent and died at the hands of powerful ghosts!
Thinking about it this way, he was naturally preparing to retreat into the Demon Suppression Division.
But because the case involves the squire, and the people's grievances can't be completely ignored, otherwise it is very likely to be reported to the court.
Zheng He didn't dare to ask the court for help!
He is close to the recovery of the ghost, and if he asks the court for help, the people from the court will take his life away before cleaning up the aftermath.
In order to get by on the surface, Zheng He appeased everyone while starting a serious investigation.
He has been operating in Baozhi County for many years, and after a careful investigation, he didn't find out the whereabouts of the ghost, but other things made him find out some clues.
When the big man said this, he frequently peeked at Zhao Fusheng, but he didn't dare to say the rest of the words.
"What did Zheng He find?"
Zhao Fusheng asked with a smile.
At this time, she seemed to be very easy to get along with, gentle and introverted, and she couldn't see the previous posture of asking for someone's life if she didn't agree.
"Vice Commander Zheng has found out-"
The wound on the big man's cheek looked terrible, and at this time, the blood soaked his clothes, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he saw Zhao Fusheng looking at him with a smile, and his body was agitated, and he immediately quickly changed his words:
"No, no, no, Zheng He found out and said that someone had been to Wan'an County and Wan'an County."
Zheng Hepan has been in Baozhi County for many years, and the county is full of his eyeliner, and he knows that although the revival of the ghost has not been able to find a reason so far, it will definitely show the signs of disaster in advance.
Therefore, he asked him to thoroughly investigate what had happened in Baozhi County in the past two months, and he had to report back to him in every detail.
Under this investigation, he really found out a lot of things, one of which caught his attention.
Someone reported the case, saying that two coffins were carried over by Wan'an County next door overnight and secretly buried at the junction of the two counties, led by two twin brothers, who looked about 20 years old.
If it was just someone who held a funeral, it would have been forgotten, but it was buried overnight, and the leaders were two brothers.
This worldly twin brother is rare, they are so close, and they are of such an age, they are still from Wan'an County-Zheng He immediately thought of the Fan brothers of the Demon Division in Wan'an County.
He was vigilant and ordered the coffin to be dug in the direction indicated by the informant.
The grave was dug up, the coffin was empty, and at this time, Zheng He didn't know what was going on!
Wan'an County next door sent a ghost disaster!
The most hateful thing is that this disaster is not a single line, judging from the number of coffins, the ghosts are in pairs, two ghosts!
The two ghosts did not restrain each other from falling asleep at the same time, and revived at the same time.
The moment he guessed the truth, Zheng He's whole person was not good.
He knew in his heart that this was really a big deal.
In his memory, in the past hundred years, there has never been a precedent in the Han Dynasty where two ghosts revived at the same time and committed crimes together, and now they were unlucky enough to be met by Wan'an County.
- No, it's not Wan'an County, Wan'an County sent the ghost disaster to him!
As soon as Zheng He thought of this, he suddenly couldn't eat or sleep, and he cursed the Fan brothers overnight.
Don't say that he is on the verge of crisis at this time, even when he is strong, he is very cowardly in the face of one ghost, and the only way for the two ghosts to escape immediately is to pray to the imperial court.
But he is also very clear about the consequences of reaching out to the imperial court.
The ghost riders are selfish and selfish, and it is impossible for them to sacrifice themselves for the safety of the people in the county.
After thinking about it, Zheng He felt that the bell was still a mustard person.
Since it was a ghost disaster sent by Wan'an County, of course, it should be solved by Wan'an County itself.
But he also understands that ghost disasters have broken out frequently in Wan'an County in the past two years, and even the imperial court is helpless, and has already abandoned this place.
A few months ago, some people escaped from Wan'an County one after another, according to the escapees, Zhao Qiming of the Demon Division of Wan'an County was resurrected, and the ghosts plagued the Demon Division, and most of the people in the entire Demon Division died.
He didn't know how the Fan brothers survived, but in such a situation, Wan'an County was too busy to take care of itself, and of course it was impossible to go to Baozhi County to clean up the aftermath.
However, what Zheng He wanted was not to really handle the matter well, he just wanted to find an excuse to deal with the squires in the county.
Anyway, if it drags on for a while, if the ghosts kill enough people and leave, there will be headaches for other state capitals at that time.
Thinking like this, he immediately found a confidant and ordered him to go to Wan'an County to make trouble with great fanfare, anyway, the bigger the battle, the better, as long as it proves that he is extremely concerned about this matter.
When Zhao Fusheng heard this, he finally knew why the people of Baozhi County were so arrogant when they first arrived.
She glanced at the envoy who was nervous after talking about the cause and effect, and then looked at Fan Wuxu: "You guys are doing things very secretly? β
Fan Wuxu's face turned red all of a sudden.
"I-"
After this errand was completed, Fan Bi died asked her for credit, saying that the case was handled extremely secretly, and no one noticed their whereabouts.
Now that the East Window Affair knows that the movements of their group are still being watched.
"Forget it."
Zhao Fusheng waved his hand and said:
"When such a group of people go to Baozhi County, it is impossible to make a little noise, and they will be discovered when they are discovered."
Anyway, it was done at that time, and Erfan did buy her some time.
"......" The envoy of Baozhi County listened to it so much that his scalp was numb.
Although the people in the two counties now know that these two ghosts were sent by Wan'an County, is the Lingsi of Wan'an County too arrogant?
And two ghosts are wreaking havoc!
Deputy Ling Zheng of Baozhi County was frightened crazy, but this Ling Si of Wan'an County was calm and calm when he mentioned ghosts, as if he was not in a hurry.
Dahan thought in his heart: Could it be because the ghost disaster is not on his own territory, so he is so calm?
Thinking of this, he was pulled back to his thoughts by the pain in his face.
Previously, the Lingsi of Wan'an County had clearly recovered, and the imperial court had given up here, and it was impossible to assign new people, where did the Lingsi of Wan'an County come from?
And this man also has a terrifying ghost handβ
As soon as he thought of the ghost hand, Dahan suddenly fell into the shadow of being dominated by the ghost, and began to worry about his life.
I thought that this trip was to show off my might, and take this opportunity to squeeze some benefits from the Fan brothers; But I didn't expect that the benefits would not come now, but fell into the hands of the ghost riders.
I only hope that this Ling Si will talk about martial arts, since ancient times, the two camps have fought each other, and he will leave his life to go back and talk back to Deputy Ling Zheng......
He was thinking about how to open his mouth to intercede, and Zhao Fusheng took the lead:
"Second Brother Fan, when Brother Fan comes back, you all pack your bags and go to Baozhi County with me."
"What?" Fan Wuxu exclaimed when he heard this.
"What!"
The big man who held his face silently inhaled and endured the pain also shook.
The two stared at Zhao Fusheng in disbelief, and they couldn't believe their ears.
"I'll rest for half a day and leave in the afternoon."
When Zhao Fusheng said this, he turned his head and asked the envoy:
"You said that the ghost cases that happened in Baozhi County these days are all in the middle of the night, right?"
ββ¦β¦ Yes, yes, but ......"
Dahan was dazed by her question, and he didn't react for a while.
"That's it."
Zhao Fusheng said:
"We will leave in the afternoon, and we should be able to reach Hochi Prefecture in the evening, hoping to stop the ghost disaster that happened tonight."
ββ¦β¦β
ββ¦β¦β
The two people in the room were stunned, both looking at each other, trembling and not daring to make a sound.
At this time, Fan Bidan came back from his errands, and when he saw his younger brother looking at him with a look of help, he didn't know what to do, and said to Zhao Fusheng first:
"The doctor is here."
"Take him out to heal, and you will go out with me in the afternoon." Zhao Fusheng commanded lightly.
This case arose because of three people, the Fan brothers did the evil, and she sent the ghost disaster.
Although such a situation is not special at this time, but now that Zhao Fusheng has the god list as his confidence, he still has to clean up the mess he has provoked.
ββ¦β¦β
Fan Bi didn't expect to hear such words, he was stunned for a moment, and glanced at Zhao Fusheng.
Previously, he was ordered to go out, and he didn't hear the cause and effect of the ghost disaster in Baozhi County, but judging from Fan Wuxuan's panicked expression, the ghost disaster in Baozhi County was extraordinary.
Zhao Fusheng still insisted on going after hearing this, is she really not afraid of death or is she sure that she will handle this case?
suppressed a ghost disaster, handled two ghost cases, and escaped from a ghost carriage above the disaster level, in this way, Zhao Fusheng has experienced four ghost disasters before and after, and now she has to handle ghost cases so frequently, what is it relying on?
Do you want to go to Baozhi County with her? If he goes, will Zhao Fusheng declare his personal vendetta and let his two brothers die in this ghost disaster?
If you don't goβ
As soon as this idea was born, it was cut off by Fan Bidying.
Zhang Chuanshi's lessons are still in front of him, Zhao Fusheng has a strong temperament, and there is no room for relaxation in the matter he decides.
However, there is also a reference from Zhang Chuanshi, which proves that traveling with her is not only a dead end.
Fan Bi died in the battle between heaven and man, but in fact, it was only a fleeting effort.
He glanced at Zhao Fusheng and nodded in response:
"Okay."
