Chapter 134

When everyone was enthusiastically complimenting, Zhao Fusheng did not speak.

She looked up at the top of the Demon Suppression Division, and saw that the plaque that seemed to be covered with a layer of gray dirt had been polished a little more at some point, and the words 'Demon Suppression Division' were already faintly visible on it.

The sign confirmed her suspicions.

Zhao Fusheng smiled.

Everyone surrounded Zhao Fusheng and entered the Demon Suppression Division, and the good news came one after another.

In addition to Yu Weide's luck not dying, Pang Zhixian also received a reply from his master, saying that his wife was revived, but after experiencing this ghost disaster, he said that his chest was still stuffy and his spirit was insufficient.

She had no memory of the previous night, and her memory was still after the chisel she heard the chisel the first night.

Pang Zhixian learned that his wife had woken up, and a big stone fell to the ground in his heart.

He personally participated in this ghost case, and he had an intuitive understanding of Zhao Fusheng's strength.

For Pang Zhixian, he originally thought that Wan'an County might be his future burial place, but at this time, the old Zhixian changed his mind and felt that Wan'an County might be the starting point of his prosperity.

With Zhao Fusheng here, during his tenure in Wan'an County, maybe he will be more stable, as long as he concentrates on doing a good job in internal affairs, he doesn't have to worry about frequent ghost disasters.

When he thought of this, he was passionate, he couldn't sit for a long time, and while everyone was there, he said goodbye to Zhao Fusheng:

"My lord, now that this ghost case has been closed, I want to take everyone back to the yamen first."

The ghost case is closed, but there are still many trivial matters to deal with.

If Zhao Fusheng wants to show his strength in Wan'an County, he must do a good job of auxiliary.

He needs to recount the list of people in the county, sort out the list of the dead, and find a way to bury the dead in the ground.

"Okay."

Zhao Fusheng nodded:

"If you need the silver, you will report the number later, and hand it over to Brother Fan."

Pang Zhixian nodded.

When Yu Weide heard this, his spirits perked:

"Silver?"

Pang Zhixian nodded, and said with some shame:

"The county government is short of money, but the lord is kind-hearted, and he is willing to allocate a part of the silver from the treasury of the Demon Suppression Division to bury the people who died in this ghost disaster."

Yu Weide hurriedly said:

"Why do you need to pay for it? This time, the Lord of the Ghost Case worked hard to save my life, and I am willing to donate 2,000 taels of silver to bury the dead. ”

With him speaking first, the rest of the squires and wealthy families all spoke out one by one.

……

When Fan Bi Death sent everyone out of the Demon Suppression Division, it was already dark.

It was dark this time and it was different from the previous two nights.

I don't know if Wan'an County has Zhao Fusheng in charge tonight, and everyone feels quite relieved.

After tossing for a day, Zhao Fusheng washed up and lay back on the bed, so that he could take stock of his gains and losses.

After Baozhi County returned, she still had a total of 2,343 merit points, and it cost a total of 1,500 merit points to invite the god and brand the god seal.

Later, because of the ghost tomb case, some of the people died, which affected the people's hearts and caused her to be deducted another 500 merit points.

Fortunately, the ghost case was successfully solved, and she finally received a reward of 3000.

In other words, now Zhao Fusheng has a total of 3343 merit points in his hands.

Now that Hell has opened two levels, the third and second levels each require 10,000 merit points.

"Ugh."

Zhao Fuchang sighed:

"It seems that we need to work harder to handle ghost cases."

She handled two ghost cases one after another, although in the end there was no danger and was successfully completed, but the mental fatigue was real.

In addition, last night with the ghost car for a night, Zhao Fusheng didn't rest all night, and as soon as she returned to her own territory, tiredness came to her heart, and she quickly fell asleep.

When I woke up again, it was already dawn.

There was a knocking sound of 'ding bells' outside, and when Zhao Fusheng heard this sound, his scalp was numb, and he sat up on the ground.

Then the sound of shouting trumpets sounded, dissipating the lingering sensation caused by the knocking of the 'ding bell'.

Only then did Zhao Fusheng recall that the case of the ghost tomb had been closed, and these knocking sounds were not made by the ghosts of the ghost tomb.

She opened the door, and it was a rare good weather in Wan'an County today.

The sun was shining down, and she squinted her eyes.

The miscellaneous servants in the courtyard heard the noise and reported that Fan was going to die.

Knowing that she had woken up, Fan Bi Death hurriedly rushed over and said to her:

"My lord, Pang Zhi County has come."

As he spoke, Fan Bi Death beckoned, motioning for the handymen to bring hot water and breakfast.

She rinsed her mouth and wiped her face, and Fan Bi died before saying:

"I turned around Baoding Road with Wu Su today, and this street is almost closed except for Lao Zhang and Boss Zhu's coffins and incense and candle shops."

That is, these shops are ownerless in a sense.

Zhao Fusheng came to the Han Dynasty for a month, and it was the first time he heard the name of the road in front of the Demon Suppression Division.

She nodded, took a sip of tea, and Fan Bi said again: "After ordering, there are a total of forty-six shops on Baoding Road. ”

He watched Zhao Fusheng's action of drinking tea for a moment, and explained:

"Although the exterior of the shop is old and has a dilapidated appearance, it can be used if it is simply repaired."

Besides, with Zhao Fusheng sitting in the Demon Suppression Division, with the strong strength she showed, not to mention that the shop has been repaired, it is a rotten kiln, and the rent of 2,000 taels of silver a year is also a lot of people rushing to do it - in order to buy Zhao Fusheng's protection.

This time Yu Dewei encountered a ghost disaster, which is the best example.

The old squire was the most active in donating money several times before, and he was also very respectful to Zhao Fusheng, and even wrote a letter in advance to invite his old friend to settle in Wan'an County according to her instructions.

And as soon as he was marked by a ghost last night, Zhao Fusheng immediately got up and went out, without wasting any time to stay, and finally rushed to quell the ghost disaster before Vader's accident and saved the old squire's life.

This incident strengthened the hearts of the wealthy families and squires who stayed in Wan'an County.

They have lived for so many years, and I am afraid that they have not enjoyed such care as Reiji.

As long as Zhao Fusheng is not completely out of control, these people may not abandon her.

"So adults just don't spend a lot of money, and this shop can be rented."

When Fan Bisheng said this, Zhao Fusheng understood the meaning of his words:

"No, it's better to tear it down and rebuild it."

Fan Bi's face paused.

In fact, Zhao Fusheng's answer was within his expectations.

She is a bit eccentric, she is not a complete high-spirited person, and when necessary, she will also coerce and lure people, and she has a strong temperament, and she is not soft-hearted when she makes a move.

But she seems to have her own set of guidelines for doing things, and some of the places where she spends money are not picked at all.

"It's just that rebuilding will take a lot of time, and it will affect the time it takes for adults to rent out the shop." Fan replied.

"Don't worry."

Zhao Fusheng shook his head:

"Repair half of it first, rent out the other half first, and at the same time repair the way in and out—"

She thought of the tragic situation of galloping all the way back from her journey yesterday, and her face turned green: "In the future, when Wan'an County has a large population, it will always have to travel with other counties, and when the road is repaired, it will be more convenient for people to come and go." ”

"Yes."

Fan Bi died and nodded:

"It's just that in this way, maybe the silver is not enough."

"Don't worry, Baozhi County will send money later."

Zhao Fusheng thought of the door god brand that he had laid last night.

With the first knife test, she knew what it was like to fight ghost marks.

"Zheng He is about to resurrect the ghost, if he is a smart man and wants to save his life, he has to find me-" Zhao Fusheng thought of Zheng He, and couldn't help but show a smile when he saw the 'God of Wealth':

"He has been working for a few years, Baozhi County is rich, Zheng He's net worth should not be thin, right?"

“……”

The corners of Fan Bidie's mouth twitched, and he also remembered the ghost mark she made last night, and his heart moved:

"What do you mean, do you want to put a ghost mark on Vice Commander Zheng and seal the powerful ghost in his body?"

"If Zheng He can pay the price." Zhao Fusheng replied with a smile.

Fan Bidying was originally just a temptation, but when he heard this, he was shocked: "Can the adult really seal the ghost in his body?" ”

In the Han Dynasty, there were many people who could make a ghost mark - for example, the cemeteries of the Demon Suppression Division in various places were uniformly sent by the imperial court to suppress the ghost seal.

However, the higher the level of the ghost master, the easier it is to get out of control.

Fighting the ghost brand is also one of the behaviors of harnessing ghosts, and if it is used too many times, the ghost harnesser will still be in danger.

Therefore, the imperial court actually knew that it could alleviate the crisis of the revival of ghost tamers by playing ghost seals, but compared with many ghost tamers in the Demon Suppression Division of the Han Dynasty, all of them who could reach the level of fighting ghost seals were general-level talents.

In terms of strength, function, and rarity, the existence of these people is far more precious than ordinary reiji.

Moreover, ghosts are not domesticated animals, and even those who control them may not be able to completely control them.

Sometimes printing in the ghost tomb will also have a crisis of failure or even out of control, let alone making ghost marks on the living.

And the meaning of Zhao Fusheng's words is that as long as Zheng He can pay the price, she is willing to use the power of powerful ghosts to seal ghosts for Zheng He.

"Of course."

Zhao Fusheng nodded.

Fan Bi died still in disbelief:

"But in this way, aren't you afraid that the ghost will get out of control?"

"I'm sure that I won't lose control for the time being, and of course I won't want his life."

Zhao Fusheng said confidently.

As long as the god list is still there, her merit is enough, and it is very simple to make a ghost seal on Zheng He's chest to seal the ghost.

"If that's the case—"

Fan Bi Death muttered:

"Then Zheng He is afraid that he will take out the coffin book, and he will be willing."

After saying that, he shook his head again:

"No, it's not just Zheng He, if the news spreads, I don't know how many ghost riders are willing to go to Wan'an County-"

Many people who are on the verge of the revival of powerful ghosts will try their best to ask Zhao Fusheng to help print it, and Wan'an County will probably be much richer and stronger than today's Baozhi County.

"Wait for the ghost fog to dissipate a bit, and see when Zheng He can afford to come up with chips."

Zhao Fusheng smiled faintly.

Fan Bi was stunned for a moment, and after a long time, his expression became more respectful:

"By the way, my lord, in addition to Pang Zhixian coming, Liu Yizhen in the Confucius Temple also asked someone from the yamen to send a message, saying that he wanted to invite you to come over when you have time."

When Zhao Fusheng heard the words 'Confucius Temple', he was shocked:

"Did the messenger say he was in a hurry?"

"Not really, the messenger only said that the adults should have time to go over for a trip." Fan will die.

When he said this, Zhao Fusheng knew it in his heart.

The ghost car was originally parked in the Liu clan ancestral hall forty years ago, and the existence of the ghost car broke the balance of the rice alley, making the Confucius Temple fall into crisis.

And after Baozhi County and his party, the ghost car was called away from Wan'an County, and the two ghosts in the Confucius Temple should have fallen into a state of mutual restraint again, Liu Yizhen should have noticed this and wanted to discuss it with himself.

"I happen to have something to look for him, so I'll take a moment to check it out."

Fan Bi Death nodded.

After the two finished talking about business, when they came to the hall, Pang Zhixian had been waiting for a while.

He knew that Zhao Fusheng had been running around for days these days, and he must be tired, so he had been sitting in the hall waiting after he came, and when he saw Zhao Fusheng at this time, Pang Zhixian smiled:

"My lord, the list of people who died last night has been sorted out, and there are 76 people who died—"

He talked about the death toll with a solemn look on his face.

Now most of the houses in the urban area of Wan'an County have been vacant, many people have long fled from the county, and the population left behind is not very large, and now 76 people have died, and even Pang Zhi County is a little heartbroken.

"Each of these people bought a coffin and chose to be buried in the ground, and each of them spent at least 1,800 yuan."

Equivalent to silver, it means that each person's posthumous life needs about 1.8 taels of silver, and everyone needs more than 100 taels of silver to bury them together.

This may not seem like a lot of money, but it's just the impact of a ghost case.

Wan'an County is full of ghosts, and there will only be more ghost cases in the future, and once Zhao Fusheng makes this start, similar cases will appear in the future, and the government will still need to clean up the aftermath.

In addition to these burial expenses, the county government asked people to do errands, and they also had to pay for it, which is not a small amount in total.

"Asking someone to carry the coffin and look at the corpse, these are all bad things, and each person has to give at least twenty yuan a day-" The master who followed Pang Zhixian also spoke:

"We asked Master Zhang when we came here in the morning, Wan'an County has been closed recently, and he doesn't have much timber inventory in his hand, so he has to place an order from outside, I'm afraid it will take more than a month to wait for so many coffins to be transported to Wan'an County——"

At this time, it was August, and if the corpses were to be stored for so long, they could only be buried first, and the coffins that were not enough were borrowed from some people's homes in the county.

People who have a little surplus in the family, as long as there are elderly people, will have the custom of preparing coffins in advance.

"Borrow it first and then pay it back, and bury the bodies one after another, which can also reduce manpower costs."

Master said:

"In this way, we can complete these things in half a month, but I calculated with Mr. Bookkeeper last night that the labor cost alone will amount to five hundred taels——"

When Zhao Fusheng heard this, his face showed a look of confusion:

"So much?"

Master nodded.

"Have you ever considered hiring someone differently?" Zhao Fusheng asked.

Pang Zhixian and Master glanced at each other and hesitated:

"Change, hire someone in a different way?"

"That's right."

Zhao Fusheng nodded:

"Suppose a person needs 20 yuan a day to hire, and at least half a month of employment, then a person's expenditure is about 300 yuan."

"Yes—"

Master nodded.

Zhao Fusheng smiled: "This kind of cost is too high, and people who are hired like this are wandering around with nothing to do on weekdays, doing odd jobs, and their family livelihood is unstable. ”

She remembered that she had met a few idle ruffians when she was drinking porridge at Meng Po's stall before, and when she saw her alone, she wanted to do something to her, but she was scared away by Meng Po.

Zhao Fusheng said:

"Instead, we signed a contract with these people and recruited them into the yamen as temporary workers, set up posts, and hired them at a salary of 80 wen per month——"

As long as there is a stable job, "they will work hard for this opportunity." ”

"Ah, this-"

Pang Zhixian and the master were stunned for a moment.
