Chapter 100: Meeting Zheng He

Chapter 100

The road to Baozhi County is worthy of being an official road, the road surface is smooth and wide, and it is much easier than the road to Gotou Village before Zhao Fusheng.

And because Wan'an County is now closed by ghost fog, the road is unimpeded, and there is no pedestrian in sight.

The group arrived at the boundary of Hochi Prefecture earlier than expected.

Unlike the semi-deserted situation of Wan'an County, there are soldiers guarding the city at the gate of Baozhi County, and there are more than a dozen people waiting to line up to enter the city under the city gate.

"Baozhi County is really prosperous."

Zhao Fusheng closed her eyes all the way to recuperate, and when she arrived in Baozhi County, she didn't see the tiredness of hurrying, she opened the curtain of the car and looked out, and sighed when she looked at the people queuing up to enter the city.

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

The order that shrank in the corner made Gu Jiansheng's lips move, as if he wanted to talk, but he was a little timid, and there was a 'grunt' sound in his throat.

Fan Wuxuan, who was also looking out of the probe, turned his head when he heard this sound, pinched his nose and raised his eyebrows, and asked fiercely:

"How dare you fart in front of adults?!"

"No, no!"

Gu Jiansheng was startled when he heard his words, and after reacting, he waved his hand desperately:

"I just want to talk, clear my throat."

"......" Fan Bid's eyelids twitched, and Zhao Fusheng also looked back at him:

"What do you want to say?"

Her eyes were bright, her lips were slightly hooked, and there was a touch of sassy air between her eyebrows, she didn't look like a sinister person, and she didn't have the sense of persecution given by a ghost handler at all, but he remembered that Zhao Fusheng was holding a ghost hand and almost killed himself, and after his eyes matched her, he moved his numb legs uneasily as if he had been pricked by a needle.

Hearing Zhao Fusheng's question, Gu Jiansheng took a deep breath and endured fear:

"It's less than ever."

Compared to neighboring counties, Hochi Prefecture has had very good luck, and there have been almost no ghost disasters in the past two years.

In such a world, being able to maintain peace for two years in a county is tantamount to a real peaceful place for people who have suffered from the scourge of ghosts.

In particular, many wealthy and powerful families tried their best to come to live in Baozhi County.

As soon as there are many merchants, the county's economy will prosper.

"If it weren't for the ghost disaster, there would be a long queue of people lining up to enter the city every day."

Gu Jiansheng said with some pride.

After the ghost disaster in Baozhi County, Zheng He quickly took countermeasures, but because the big family Sun family was wiped out, the news could not be completely covered, and many wealthy squires in the city were already waiting and preparing to flee.

The county seat, which was prosperous in the past, also showed a slight decline at this time.

The orange sunset shone at the foot of the city walls, and the people who entered the city were listless and silent.

Before Zhao Fusheng was reborn, Baozhi County was the place where the Erfan brothers dreamed of saving their lives.

If it weren't for the variables in the plan of 'leading the water to the east' later, maybe the two brothers would have come to Baozhi County and become the envoys of Deputy Commander Zheng.

Although it didn't work out in the end, the two brothers ended up here anyway - only this time to solve the ghost case.

Maybe it's because Baozhi County also encountered a ghost disaster, and the county seat is not as lively as the two imagined.

There were also people in front of the city gates, but the people who entered the city were skinny, ragged, numb, and lifeless.

The soldiers defending the city were fierce and vicious, scolding and scolding the people who entered the city, and a bamboo basket was placed next to it, which contained some copper coins and miscellaneous items.

Looking at it this way, although Baozhi County seems to be more popular than Wan'an County, it is still not a happy place as Er Fan imagined, and the two were disappointed and suddenly lost their interest in looking.

"My lord, our car will go straight over."

The people of the Demon Suppression Division have an extraordinary status, so naturally they don't need to line up honestly like ordinary people.

What's more, Zhao Fusheng came to handle the case for Baozhi County on this trip, and Fan Bisheng felt that it was natural for Zheng He to come to greet him in person, and he was willing to delay more time at this time.

For his proposal, Zhao Fusheng bowed slightly:

"Let's go straight over."

Gu Jiansheng said that the ghosts in Baozhi County appeared at night, and there was often no sign before, which made the government unable to guard against it.

It is often not until the second day that the neighbors discover that the ghost case has occurred.

It was not too late at this time, Zhao Fusheng wanted to rush to the city, take a look at the place where the incident occurred, find clues to the ghost case and the law of ghost killing, and see if he could find out the clue.

After Fan Bi saw that she answered, he rushed to the coachman who was driving the car and gave an order.

The coachman shook the reins and shouted:

"Drive!"

"Hey! Oops! ”

As soon as the carriage moved, the two soldiers guarding the city gate suddenly noticed the movement and shouted from their mouths.

The two of them had noticed the arrival of the carriage earlier, and had exchanged several malicious looks.

Although Wan'an County is poor, Zhao Fusheng is the master of the Demon Division, and Pang Zhi County and the squires support her, and they do their best to provide her with food, clothing, shelter and transportation.

This carriage was not very luxurious, but among the poor people, it was extraordinarily outstanding, and it was undoubtedly a fat sheep for the soldiers defending the city, where she was allowed to pass easily.

The two of them stopped the carriage, hurriedly brought wooden stakes to seal the gate of the city, and drove the people away with a ferocious attitude, and then shouted in the direction of the carriage:

"Get off, get off!"

A person carried the belt of his trousers and swaggered forward:

"If you want to enter the city, you have to pay tolls, three dollars for men, two dollars for women, one money for children, and if you don't have money, jewelry, clothβ€”"

Before he finished speaking, Fan Wusu was not used to him, jumped out of the car, and threw two big slaps on his head:

"Blind your dog's eyes, you dare to stop our family's carriage."

Fan Wusu swallowed his anger in front of Zhao Fusheng for a long time, and finally found an opportunity to vent at this time.

After two slaps, the errand who came to ask for money was beaten and his teeth were bleeding, and he fell to the ground on the spot, holding his face for a long time and not daring to say anything.

"Look at the sign of our carriage, the people of the Demon Suppression Division, the dog thing that doesn't have long eyes!"

Fan Wusu scolded and scolded, lifted his foot and kicked him, kicking the body of the errand officer who was still fierce and vicious before curled up into a ball, and couldn't stop moaning.

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

This turn of events frightened another officer.

Deputy Zheng Ling's reputation in Baozhi County is very great, and there are many people who have defected in recent years.

Deputy Commander Zheng once said in public that if you want to enter his county and be protected by him, you must abide by his rules and act according to his rules.

Therefore, the people who entered the city, whether they were businessmen or magnates, had to give him some face, and most of the people who bought road money at the city gate swallowed their anger and gave the money.

Most of the money collected to buy the road was handed over layer by layer, and a small part of the people below were eaten.

Defending the city should have been a fat poor, and those who have nothing to do with the family can't squeeze in, these people are used to showing off their martial arts on weekdays, but they didn't expect to hit the iron plate today.

Seeing that his colleague was beaten, the other person was afraid and angry, and was about to scold, Gu Jiansheng in the car hurriedly poked his head out, took out the token from his arms, and scolded:

"The yellow-eyed dog who doesn't know the master, look at who I am, this is a guest invited by Deputy Zheng Ling, you dare to block the road and make mistakes?"

Vice President Zheng has been running Baozhi County for several years, and has developed his own descendants early, and he has managed it in a similar way.

The demon division of the county town has its own token to represent the identity.

As soon as he saw this, the servant who had wanted to pretend to be a mess before was suddenly frightened, and the beaten person didn't dare to say anything, and hurriedly knelt down and begged.

Fan Wusu wanted to kick him twice, but Zhao Fusheng stopped him:

"Forget it, don't waste time here."

Fan Bi saw that her expression was calm, and he was not angry because of the behavior of these two people, so he motioned to his younger brother:

"There is no help, just let them move their things away."

Fan Wusu snorted:

"Count your fortune great, we adults have a good temper and don't care about you in general. Don't hurry up and move the barricades out of the way! ”

In the midst of his shouting, the two of them rolled and climbed to move the spine pile, and Fan Wusu got back into the car.

No one dared to stop it this time, and the carriage entered the city smoothly.

After such a small episode, Zhao Fusheng was not very interested in the prosperity of Baozhi County.

This kind of prosperity floats on the surface, and from the people below, you can see that Deputy Zheng of Baozhi County is not a ghost rider who cares about the people, but more like a greedy person who is good at power and money.

She stopped looking at the vendors along the street, but sat in the car without saying a word.

Gu Jiansheng was uneasy, for fear of angering this Lingsi.

Fortunately, after the carriage entered the city, no one dared to stop it all the way, and after about half an hour, it stopped in front of the gate of the Demon Suppression Division in Baozhi County.

"My lordβ€”"

As soon as the carriage stopped, Gu Jiansheng's tense heartstrings all the way were subconsciously loosened.

He looked at Zhao Fusheng cautiously:

"We're here."

Er Fan jumped out of the car first, Zhao Fusheng came down last, she stretched her arms, and out of the corner of her eye, she had already seen several people in the Demon Suppression Division hurrying out, but she didn't look at it, but instinctively looked up to see the signboard of the Demon Suppression Division in Baozhi County.

Compared with the plaques in Wan'an County, the plaques hanging in front of the gate of the two government offices are almost the same in size and appearance, with a black primer and an inscription in gold lacquer.

However, the surface of the signboard in Wan'an County is blurred, as if it is covered with a shadow, and the gold paint on the font is not known whether it is mottled or covered, and the font is blurred.

In contrast, the signboard of Baozhi County is clear, although it looks like gray, but the gold paint is complete, and it looks newer and brighter than the nameplate of Wan'an County.

She was watching the room, and seven or eight people from the palace came out quickly.

The people who came out were about to speak, but Gu Jiansheng was afraid that these people would say offensive words, so he drilled out from Fan Bi's side and shouted:

"It's me who is back, go and inform Lord Zheng that it is Lord Zhao who is the director of the Order Division of Wan'an County who has come over in person."

When the people heard this, they were shocked.

But everyone heard Gu Jiansheng's voice, and several people looked at each other for a moment with a look on their faces, and they all urged to hurry up and invite Zheng He.

Although Zheng He was still nominally the head of the Demon Division in Baozhi County, he had already opened a mansion in addition to the Demon Division, and when everyone went to invite him over, it was already a quarter of an hour later.

Zhao Fusheng sat in the palace of the Demon Suppression Division in Baozhi County, accompanied by Gu Jiansheng.

She didn't bring the soul book to verify her identity before this trip, but the accompanying Fan Bi death is the best proof, coupled with Gu Jiansheng's words, the envoys and miscellaneous servants of Baozhi County did not dare to slack off, and they had already served fragrant tea for her and waited by her side.

When the sound of footsteps outside came, the breathing of everyone in the quiet hall stagnated, and there was a nervous look on their faces.

Zheng He has been controlling ghosts for a long time, he is deeply affected by the ghosts, and his temper is shady and mean, and his subordinates are trembling when they meet him, and they are deeply afraid of angering him.

As soon as he arrived, he took a handyman and asked:

"Where are the people from Wan'an County?"

"Here."

When Zhao Fusheng heard the question, he answered.

She put down the teacup in her hand, stood up and walked outside.

Everyone followed her, but it seemed that Zheng He, who had just rushed back from the outside, seemed to be an 'outsider'.

Zhao Fusheng was not reborn for a long time, but he cheated this Lingsi of Baozhi County more than once.

In a certain respect, the two live next to each other and have secretly 'dealn', which is quite fateful, but it is the first time they have actually met.

Zheng He is about forty years old, and he doesn't look old.

He wore a lake-green brocade robe with a gold belt around his waist, and from the point of view of his dress, there was a faint resemblance to the blue-robed man Zhao Fusheng saw in the ghost car last night.

But that's not what surprised Zhao Fusheng.

Zheng He looks like a human being, but he doesn't see half of the popularity on his face.

This person's face showed a strange blue and yellow color, and the skin on his face was tight and shiny, and it looked like a coat of bronze.

His eyes were cold, his lips were blue, and his expression was stiff when he looked at people, almost like a walking living dead.

When Zhao Fusheng was looking at him, he was also looking at Zhao Fusheng, his eyes did not carry half emotion, and the evil aura of the ghost came to his face, making people look like he was in a ghost domain.

This person has been seriously eroded by powerful ghosts, and he has become half a ghost himself!

Zheng Vice Ling's reputation was like thunder to the previous Fan brothers, and at this time, he finally saw this Lingsi of Baozhi County with his own eyes, and he was immediately stunned at first sight, and instinctively stood behind Zhao Fusheng.

After dealing with ghosts, people will gradually become ghosts.

Seeing Zheng He, Er Fan remembered the scene when he got along with Zhao Qiming in the later period: his mood was moody, and he no longer had the needs of normal people.

Later, after the commander of Wan'an County was replaced by Zhao Fusheng, although she said that she controlled the ghosts, her mood has always been very stable.

The Fan brothers were wary of her, but when they got along with her, they lacked the sense of fear and fear of being with the ghosts day and night, and after a long time, they became accustomed to it, and when they saw Zheng He, they remembered that not all Ling Si were the same as Zhao Fusheng.

"You are the commander of Wan'an County?"

Zheng He glanced at Zhao Fusheng calmly and asked coldly.

He seems to be completely emotional, but in fact he acts in a completely disorderly manner.

One moment you may still be talking to someone, and the next moment you are very likely to kill someone.

The envoys of the surrounding Baozhi County instantly held their breath, and Zhao Fusheng sensed that after Zheng He appeared, everyone seemed to be worried.

can make the people around Zheng He react like this, which proves that this Deputy Ling Zheng of Baozhi County is not a person who is easy to deal with.

Thinking of this, Zhao Fusheng shook his arm.

The ghost arm shook silently out of the cuffs and was held in her hand.

She nodded, "I am the Lingsi of Wan'an County, and you are Zheng He?" ”

"Good."

Zheng He took a step forward and reached out to pull Zhao Fusheng's collar.

His palms are cold, his nails are gray, glowing with cold light, not like human palms, but like several steel nails.

Zhao Fusheng was not used to him, so he struck the ghost palm he was holding in his hand on his palm:

"I ask you questions, and you just answer."

In the sound of 'bang', Gu Jiansheng and the people in Baozhi County felt numb.

The order of Baozhi County is terrified because here Zheng He represents the supreme everything, controlling the life and death of everyone;

And the reason why Gu Jiansheng was frightened was that he had suffered a loss from the hands of ghosts.

"Everyone, calm downβ€”"

He was about to speak, but he was a step too late.

Zhao Fusheng didn't think of convincing the ghost rider with words at all.

As soon as the ghost arm struck, the law was activated, and the fist stretched out, and immediately interlocked with the ten fingers of Zheng He's palm.

This unexpected turn of events was unexpected by Zheng He.

But he didn't seem to be able to show a frightened look when he was eroded by the ghost, and as soon as he was grabbed by the ghost arm, he already realized that something was wrong.

The breath of the ghost came to his face, and something troublesome happened, and the powerful ghost he controlled was already on the verge of recovery, and at this time, he was excited by the breath of the ghost, and he was suddenly ready to move.

'Sisso, Sisso. ’

A strange voice came, and Zheng He's flat chest began to churn violently, as if there was some living thing hidden in his chest.

But those who know the inside story know that this is not a living thing, and it is clearly a terrible ghost.

"Let it go! Let go. ”

He shouted coldly.
