Chapter One Hundred and Eight

When Zheng He heard this, he was immediately bored.

He eagerly held a banquet to wash the dust for Zhao Fusheng, in order to please her, and also wanted to close the relationship between the two in the banquet and inquire about her details.

I didn't know that she didn't go directly, and let herself greet two small envoys.

Where is the Fan brothers worthy of him to come forward to accompany him.

But Zhao Fusheng had already spoken, and it was not easy for him to refuse, so he made up his mind to show up and flash again.

Fan Bidan was delicate, and he could see that Zheng He's expression was perfunctory at this moment, but he didn't care.

It is impossible for a character like Zheng He to accompany their brother.

Besides, with such a ghost handler, they are not able to play with their hands and feet, and they are more comfortable without Zheng He.

After that, everyone said no more, and by the time the carriage returned to the Demon Suppression Division, it was already dark.

Zheng He got out of the carriage, and a henchman stepped forward, saying that a temporary shelter had been arranged for Zhao Fusheng.

The Han Dynasty set up the official offices of the Demon Suppression Division in various places is not small, and there is a pavilion post in the division, which was originally for the order division and the order envoy to rest for coming and going.

The original intention of the imperial court was good, and the original intention was to facilitate the accommodation and travel of the commanders and envoys.

But it's a pity that after the establishment of the Demon Suppression Division, the authority of the local order divisions was quickly enlarged.

The fear of ghosts made the rich squires everywhere eager to win over the ghost riders, and fed the appetite of these people, so that when they traveled, extravagance and waste were no longer enough to describe.

The common people are hungry and cold, and the ghost riders, because of their short lifespan, use the wealth they have obtained in a short period of time to squander it, and live a life of poverty and luxury.

Under such circumstances, it is naturally difficult for the Pavilion of the Demon Suppression Division to meet the needs of the ghost riders.

Even though the imperial court had considered these problems at the beginning of the construction and built the pavilion quite spacious, it was still reduced to an ornament in the end.

Especially in recent decades, ghost cases have occurred frequently, and the ghost control divisions in various places have been changed frequently, and the profligacy and competition between the divisions has become a tacit rule for everyone.

That Zheng He's henchman said:

"The temporary residence of Lord Zhao and the two brothers was arranged in Ding'an Building, and when Lord Ming learned that Lord Zhao was coming, he had already driven out the guests in the building in advance, and now only Lord Zhao was received in the entire building, which was very quiet."

When Zheng He heard this, he also felt satisfied.

He looked at Zhao Fusheng and squeezed out a smile:

"This Ding'an building is a must in our Baozhi County, located on the bank of the Shangjia River, in the past, there are painting workshops and kabuki on the river, many flower boats pass by the river at night, and many people can see the night view of the river on the Ding'an Building."

Zhao Fusheng originally planned to live in the Demon Suppression Division, but since Zheng He had already arranged it, she didn't refrain from doing so.

The rich men and squires in the government have been sent away by the envoys of the internal order at this time, and they seem to be much empty, but the county order has not yet left, and they are waiting for Zheng He and others to come back.

Seeing that the envoy had finished talking to them, the magistrate got the signal, so he paced forward, hurriedly waved his hands, saluted a few times, and shouted:

"Lord Zheng, Lord Zhao, I'm going to investigate the case, I don't know-"

"You're just right here."

As soon as Zheng He saw him, he didn't raise his eyelids, and then said Zhao Fusheng's previous instructions:

"You asked the government officials tonight to sort out the list of people who have died as a result of the ghost case in recent days, and you have dealings with them-"

When the county magistrate heard that there was a task, not only did he not panic, but when Zheng He personally said the word 'ghost case', he breathed a long sigh of relief.

Zheng He had been avoiding talking about this case before, only saying that it was a 'Jiangyang thief' who was running around to commit the crime, trying to push the pot to the government.

And even though the county magistrate of Baozhi County knew that the case was committed by a ghost, he had nothing to do about Zheng He's move.

……

Just when the county magistrate was as anxious as ants on a hot pot, and he had a headache and couldn't eat or sleep, Zhao Fusheng and his entourage happened to come to Baozhi County at this time, and said in front of Xu Yachen and other squires and celebrities that they would handle this ghost case on behalf of Zheng He.

At the beginning, everyone was still the commander of Wan'an County, just bragging about making money.

What is the situation in Wan'an County now, everyone knows it.

The place abandoned by the imperial court, Zhao Qiming was the last commander sent by the imperial court to clean up the mess.

But because of the appearance of ghost fog, there were frequent ghost cases in Wan'an County, and Zhao Qiming was also affected by the ghost fog, and finally the ghost revived and died.

After his death, the evil ghosts lost control and almost slaughtered the Demon Suppression Division in Wan'an County to the point of extinction.

In such a situation, Zhao Fusheng appeared out of thin air, she was not even a person appointed by the imperial court, but was born in a wild way.

According to Xu Yachen's old friend Yu Weide's letter, she was someone who the Fan brothers found out of nowhere.

However, the prefectural order of Baozhi County is skeptical of this statement.

He is a member of the imperial court, and he also knows the laws of the imperial court.

If it is in the Registered Order Division, it is impossible to leave the territory without an order, and if you violate the law, you will be eaten by Jia Yi's ghost and die.

But Zhao Fusheng, as the commander of Wan'an County, can easily leave the county, which shows that it is difficult to say whether this commander is true or false - maybe it was Yu Weide who deliberately talked nonsense and wanted to lure Xu Yachen to Wan'an County.

The county magistrate of Baozhi County didn't take Zhao Fusheng's words to heart at the beginning, but he didn't expect that Zheng He, who avoided all the squires, saw her only and walked with her - according to the county envoy, Zheng He accompanied Zhao Fusheng to Sun's house to inspect the scene of the ghost disaster.

After Zheng He returned, he changed his previous statement and admitted that this was a ghost case.

The county commander was excited, and finally realized his previous ignorance, and secretly thought: Could it be that he really has no eyes, and the person who came is indeed the commander of Wan'an County, who is here to help Baozhi County handle ghost cases?

The thought of this brought a look of deference to his face.

Zheng He didn't know what he was thinking, and after repeating what Zhao Fusheng said one by one, he asked him:

"Remember?"

"Remembered." The county commander couldn't help but be happy, and nodded in response.

Zheng He let out a 'hmm' and said:

"There will be another ghost case tonight, let people pay close attention, once the ghost case is confirmed, as I just said, we will immediately find out the people with whom the victim has corresponded, register them, and order the government officials to arrest people with the book——"

"With so many people, I'm afraid the county government can't be locked up—"

Although the county magistrate was happy to hear that Zheng He was going to handle a ghost case, he was a little apprehensive when he listened carefully to the meaning of his words.

When Zheng He heard this, his brows furrowed, and he was about to get angry, when Zhao Fusheng said:

"Out of the way."

As soon as she interjected, Zheng He, who was still full of murderous anger before, suddenly took half a step back and stopped speaking.

The county magistrate saw Zheng He's move in his eyes, and his heart was like a monstrous wave.

Zheng He is arrogant and arrogant, he is confident that he is a ghost, he never pays attention to the people in Baozhi County, when will he swallow his anger like this?

Could it be that this Lingsi of Wan'an County can not only really handle ghost cases, but also suppress Zheng He with his own strength, so he is allowed to back down everywhere?

Zheng He's envoy is already a terrible ghost, and he can suppress his ghosts, what kind of ghost is this commander of Wan'an County?

The more he thought about it, the more shocked he became, and he remembered what he said earlier, for fear that Zhao Fusheng would misunderstand that he was ineffective in doing things-in panic, he was about to grit his teeth and add two sentences, but Zhao Fusheng said with a smile:

"I thought about it on the way back, this ghost case can be exploited, and it doesn't need to be so fanfare."

Seeing her smile, Zhixian was so frightened that his heart was beating wildly, and his voice was so loud that he even didn't hear what Zhao Fusheng said.

He wiped the sweat from his forehead with his hand, swallowed two mouthfuls of saliva, and listened to Zhao Fusheng:

"This case is a special ghost, and the murder case is two ghosts in parallel-"

"Two ghosts in parallel?!"

When the county commander heard this, his face turned pale with fright, and his legs trembled.

Zheng He gave him a cold look and warned him not to make a fool of himself.

He forced his composure.

The expressions of the other envoys were not very good-looking, and they exchanged glances one after another, but they did not dare to speak out because of Zheng He's murderous reputation.

"Although the two ghosts are fierce and difficult to suppress, they also have shortcomings." Zhao Fusheng said.

"Your Excellency is really discerning." Gu Jiansheng on the side took the opportunity to say a word, and then received Zheng He's eye signal, and hurriedly asked:

"I don't know what the shortcomings are?"

"The two ghosts walking together is a disadvantage." 赵福生 says:

"The ghost uses the door as a medium, as a marker of the law of killing, and the door panels possessed by the two ghosts must also be two at the same time."

"I see."

Fan Bid's eyes lit up:

"Almost all of the victims in the ghost gate case are two-door families."

Zhao Fusheng nodded and added:

"It's still to be verified, but I'm pretty sure it should be."

"If you want to avoid the slaughter of the ghosts, I don't know if you can take down the next door?" Fan Bid's brain is also quite flexible, and he makes a suggestion.

Zhao Fusheng glanced at him approvingly:

"That's what I meant." She said:

"You don't need to summon all the people who have been marked by the ghosts, only one or two people can be summoned from each family, and if the family has dealings with these victims, if there are two doors in the house, one door must be removed and sent to the Demon Suppression Division."

As long as one door exists, the twin ghosts cannot completely attach to the door, so that if the law is broken, the law of killing ghosts can be broken.

When Zheng He heard this, his expression was a little ugly.

After Zhao Fusheng's analysis of the terrifying ghost case, he felt that it was not difficult to crack this ghost case.

If he could have found out this earlier, maybe this case would have been known a long time ago, and it would have been consumed until now.

"It's late today, it's too late to save people, but the action must be fast, and before tomorrow, we must do what I have to do." Zhao Fusheng glanced at the magistrate and ordered:

"There must be no delay, the further you go, the greater the scope of the ghost mark, and the more tricky it will be."

"Yes, yes, yes!"

When the magistrate heard this, he hurriedly replied:

"Don't dare to mislead adults."

After finishing the business, Zheng Daodao:

"I'll arrange for you to live temporarily in Ding'an Building, it's not too early-"

As soon as the county magistrate of Baozhi County heard this, he hurriedly said:

"I'll ask someone to prepare the car and personally send the two adults over."

"Don't be so troublesome, just send the informant from the Sky Cloud Temple to Ding'an Tower."

After saying that, several people got back into the carriage.

It was getting dark, and lanterns hung around the carriage.

Pedestrians on the streets of Hochi Prefecture have gradually become scarce, and the city has become much quieter.

There was a sound between the wheels rolling, and the atmosphere in the car was silent and oppressive.

Just when everything was dark, a light shone in from afar.

Zhao Fusheng probed out of the car, and saw a building rising from the ground ten miles away, with bright lights and eye-catching.

Her movements broke the silence, and Zheng He unconsciously breathed a sigh of relief and smiled:

"Your Excellency sees? This is Ding'an Building! ”

Speaking of this treasure in the county, Zheng He's face showed a smile.

"This building was built by the descendants of the Gongsun clan more than 100 years ago, and more than 200 craftsmen were used at that time, and it was the other place of Wang Yu, the powerful minister of the year."

Wang Yuhou was killed for rebellion, and this building was given to Liu Yuan, the king of Chu, by the emperor at that time, "68 years ago, Emperor Ding'an, who was still the prince, came to Baozhi County and lived in this building, and said that this was the first floor in the world." ”

Zheng He hinted at the extraordinary origin of this building:

"Later, this building was renamed Ding'an Building, more than 20 years ago, Liu Yuan's descendants repaired this palace again, and sometimes it was also used to receive literati and ink visitors who came to Baozhi County."

While talking, the group also got closer and closer to Ding'an Building.

After getting closer, Zhao Fusheng could clearly see that Ding'an Building was a five-story wooden building, built against the river.

At night, I saw that the wooden building was full of lanterns, illuminating the whole building as if it were day.

I saw that between the beams and wooden pillars, the intricate and exquisite patterns were carved with exquisite knife skills, and the light came out from the hollow painting pavilion, making the whole building look majestic and exquisite.

The gate of the Ding'an Building was some distance away from the building, and a group of people had obviously received the news and were waiting outside the gate.

Seeing this scene, Zheng He ordered:

"The carriage doesn't need to stop, just drive directly into the front of the corridor."

After speaking, he turned his head to Zhao Fusheng and said:

"Usually, I get off the bus when I get to the door, but Lord Zhao has a noble status and can be different from others."

Zhao Fusheng smiled and did not answer.

By this time, her mind was no longer on the intricacy and delicacy of the building itself.

Her eyes fell on the entrance to the courtyard.

"These are two open doors."

She said.

When Zheng He, who was originally triumphant, heard this, he felt a 'grunt' in his heart, and the rest of the words were choked in his throat at once.

Ding'an Building is a private place, the gate is high enough to be high, it is the vermilion gate that is open, similar to the Sun family who has just suffered a ghost disaster, and it is much more magnificent than the door of the Sun Mansion.

The gate is connected to the fence and the beauty of the interior is enclosed in it.

The carriage drove inside the door and you could see the beautiful garden avenue inside.

Not only is the Ding'an Building itself luxurious, but obviously the descendants of the King of Chu mentioned in Zheng Hekou have also improved this garden, and after Zhao Fusheng entered this place, he actually smelled the refreshing fragrance of flowers, and heard the sound of trickling water in his ears.

"Your Excellency, you-"

Zheng He's scalp was numb, but Zhao Fusheng interrupted him:

"It's not a small place, it looks like it can accommodate at least a few hundred people."

"W-That's not good—"

If Zhao Fusheng's first sentence was just a hint, she spoke again later, and she was already clearly showing her intentions.

Zheng He's heart was galloping, and he hurriedly said:

"My lord, after all, this is the private residence of the queen of Chu, and it is a relative of the emperor, although-"

"You still can't handle the ghost case?" Zhao Fusheng asked him.

"Yes, but—"

"What's so good?" 赵福生 says:

"It's a spacious place, and it can accommodate a lot of people, so it's better suited to trapping ghosts than the Demon Suppressor—"

"Trapping ghosts?!"

Zheng He was frightened, and glanced at Zhao Fusheng with wide eyes, she dared to say such a thing?

"Hmm." Zhao Fusheng nodded.

"Haven't you dismissed your thoughts?" Zheng He's eyebrows twitched, as soon as he said this, Zhao Fusheng's face suddenly became gloomy.

As soon as the smile on the corner of her mouth was closed, she said that she would turn her face:

"Do I look like I'm kidding you?"

“……”

She really doesn't look like a joke.

Zheng He had a headache and said:

"But my lord, many of the people involved in the ghost case are gentry and the like. Even if the merchant is dead, he will die, and the court will not pursue it, but if something happens to the gentry, it may anger the court——"

"You can also say yes." Zhao Fusheng laughed and looked at Zheng He:

"Anyway, it's a matter of Baozhi County." She turned her head to look at Ding'an Tower, with a smile on the corner of her mouth:

"For the sake of your thoughtful greetings, we live next to each other, I will give you a face, I don't care about this ghost case, I will leave for Wan'an County early tomorrow morning, you can stay and clean up this case yourself."

“……”

When Zheng He heard her say this, he hesitated for a long time.

He wanted to handle the ghost case, but let Zhao Fusheng mess around, and the consequences were unimaginable.

He gritted his teeth and asked:

"Your Excellency...... It's true? ”

Zhao Fusheng smiled and didn't smile:

"Of course it's fake!"

She has already come to the capital, and for this trip, the merit value has consumed 27 points, how can there be a reason to return empty-handed.

What's more, it was confirmed that this ghost case was committed by the Zhao couple, and she couldn't let go easily.

One is because the Zhao family and his wife are both powerful ghosts have recovered, and the killing they have created is very great, and the promotion is fast, and now it is already very tricky, and in the future, they will advance again, and the killing will be even greater.

Then Zhao Fusheng was worried.

She has handled several ghost cases now, and she doesn't dare to say that she knows a lot about ghosts, but she can also figure out some general rules.

After the revival of the ghost, the law of killing also has an impact on his background and environment when he was born.

At the beginning, the Zhao couple died together with their daughter, if it wasn't for her unexpected rebirth, it is difficult to say whether this family would have revived neatly.

Now the primary purpose of the ghost bodies of the Zhao couple is to find such a fierce thing as the door panel, if Zhao Fusheng leaves it alone, it is hard to say whether they will change the law once they are promoted, and become looking for their daughter-

Although this is unlikely, there is a glimmer of possibility, and Zhao Fusheng will not leave a bane for himself.

She said firmly:

"If I can't finish this ghost case, I won't leave."

When Zheng He heard this, he was deflated.

He has also dealt with ghost handlers, and although he has met people with strange and difficult tempers, people are always flawed, and he has a way to deal with them.

But Zhao Fusheng seems to have a gentle temper, but his temperament is extraordinarily strong, and he doesn't eat soft and hard.

Just as the two were at a stalemate, a laugh suddenly came from outside the car:

"Lord Zheng, Lord Zhao!"

When Zheng He heard this voice, he simply shouted:

"Liu Lin come here."

As soon as he shouted, a tall and fat middle-aged man quickly followed the car and saluted him with a smile on his face.

"Lord Zhao has been handling cases in Baozhi County for the past two days, and he is temporarily living in Ding'an Building——"

"This is the honor of Ding'an Building, we must greet Lord Zhao well-" The man replied repeatedly.

Zheng He sneered silently.

The man was overjoyed at this moment, and he didn't know if he could still hold back his smile after listening to what he said next.

With a gloomy face, he said:

"But my lord has taken a fancy to this place and wants to borrow the prince's territory—"

"What does Lord Zheng mean by that?" The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment, and Zheng He roughly explained the causes and consequences of Zhao Fusheng's trip to Sun's Mansion today to investigate the case and find out the law of ghost killing.

"The ghost possessed the door panel, and the people who had passed by the gate had marked the information, and the adults wanted to gather these people who were marked by the ghost and temporarily stay here."

As soon as Zheng He finished saying this, the middle-aged man who was still smiling and groaning before suddenly became anxious:

"How?"

These people have been marked by ghosts, once they are all left in the Ding'an Building, won't it be clear that they want to summon ghosts?

"Master Zheng, you can't do this." He trotted by the side of the carriage, and his wheezing was a little rougher:

"Our prince has always taken good care of you, and every year on the birthdays of your wife and children, there are generous gifts——"

Zheng He scratched his head in annoyance, glanced at Zhao Fusheng, who was sitting on the side and did not speak, and said in a self-defeating manner:

"This is Lord Zhao's decision."

"Lord Zhao—"

When the middle-aged man heard his words, he hurriedly turned his head and shouted Zhao Fusheng again:

"It's a must-"

Zhao Fusheng was not annoyed when he heard Zheng He throwing the pot, but just asked with a smile:

"Why not?"

She seemed to have a gentle temper, unlike Zheng He, who was old-fashioned and cold and difficult to get close to, so the middle-aged man thought that she was better at talking, and his heart was slightly relieved, and he continued:

"This building is an ancient building, which once received Emperor Ding'an, and the people who came and went were well-known literati of the Han Dynasty——"

"So what?" Zhao Fusheng asked.

"......" The tall and fat middle-aged man listened to her say this, hesitated for a moment, and said:

"If there is a haunting here in the future, and there are dead people, won't this house become a murderous house?"

As he spoke, his face became a little ugly.

Zhao Fusheng took a closer look at him and found that today in the Demon Division of Baozhi County, the squire and the rich had sent a representative of public opinion, and this person was also one of the three, and had promised to donate her five thousand taels of gold.

"How many years has the Han Dynasty been inherited?"

Zhao Fusheng asked.

The middle-aged man didn't know what the meaning of her question was, but when he heard this, he still reluctantly said:

"The first Han dynasty has been inherited for 331 years, and the later Han has been inherited for 246 years......"

Before he finished speaking, Zhao Fusheng said:

"After so many years, where has no one died?"

The Han Dynasty is in charge of ghosts, and Baozhi County, which has been peaceful for several years, may have been baptized by ghosts many years ago.

"Why bother?"

She has a gentle attitude, but she has no posture of changing her intentions.

The man suddenly panicked, turned his head to look at Zheng He, Zheng He put on an appearance that he had nothing to do with himself, sat on the side like a wooden stake, and said nothing.

"Lord Zheng, if the prince knows, he may be unhappy."

He panicked and threatened.

Zhao Fusheng pretended not to understand and said:

"You also said that the prince is unhappy when he knows, so won't it be done if he doesn't let the prince know?"

"......" The corners of the man's mouth twitched fiercely, and he said weakly:

"That's not what I said."

Zhao Fusheng didn't have the leisure to talk to him, and after saying a few words, seeing that he was still entangled, he couldn't help but turn pale:

"Today's gentry representatives also have you, don't you?"

"Yes, I also donated 5,000 taels of gold to Wan'an County on behalf of the prince at that time." He reminded.

Zhao Fusheng doesn't eat him:

"Since you are a representative of the gentry, you usually have dealings with the gentry in the county, right?"

"Yes." When he saw that Zhao Fusheng didn't take the words of 'five thousand taels of gold', he endured the anxiety in his heart and said:

"I am the person who is stationed here to manage the daily affairs of the prince, and I also have dealings with the gentry and officials of the county-"

"Have you been to the Sun family?" Zhao Fusheng asked again.

"The Sun family, I naturally -"

Men are not fools.

Speaking of this, he immediately understood the meaning of Zhao Fusheng's words.

His face faded from blood, and his whole person trembled:

"Help, sir."

Zhao Fusheng sneered:

"You are also the person who was marked by the ghost, if this ghost case is not solved, your life is gone, what are you talking about the famous ancient building?"

The steward's face turned pale, and he did not say anything more.

The carriage stopped in front of the Ding'an Building, and Zhao Fusheng got off the car for a long time, leaving the panicked steward and Zheng He with a stiff expression.

The Fan brothers stayed where they were, and Gu Jiansheng looked left and right, wanting to follow behind Zhao Fusheng, but he was afraid of being reprimanded by Zheng He.

"This building is really good, and I'm not an unreasonable person." After Zhao Fusheng slapped him, he gave a sweet date: "That's it-" Her words gave a glimmer of hope to the anxious middle-aged man and Zheng He's hearts, Zhao Fusheng looked at the two of them in his eyes, and said with a smile: "Zheng He also knows the relevant situation of the ghost case, if you can find other suitable places, I don't have to Ding'an Building." After speaking, she said again: "You can discuss it, and you can inform me of the results later." ”

Zhao Fusheng didn't talk nonsense with these people anymore, but glanced at the slaves who were waiting around:

"I'm tired."

"Take Lord Zhao back to the room to rest."

The steward commanded:

"Don't be lazy."

After he finished speaking, the others responded and hurriedly hugged Zhao Fusheng into the building, leaving Zheng He and the others in place to watch them enter the building.

I took a leave of absence yesterday, and today it's even bigger, 6.7K words
