Chapter 148: Temporary Pacification
Chapter 148
"You see that now, right?" Zhao Fusheng changed his tone without a trace, and looked at Zhuang Lao Qidao:
"It's the same with your back."
"I see."
Zhuang Laoqi slapped his chest twice.
He slapped twice, and the rippling sound of the water sounded again.
But I don't know if Zhao Fusheng's words soothed him, or whether he chose to deceive himself after witnessing the situation of the old watch's back, he didn't dwell on the question of the sound of the water, but said:
"Scared me to death, I thought I was going to die."
Everyone didn't reply, and Zhao Fusheng didn't answer his words.
"My lord, my old cousin has this on my back—"
After he breathed a sigh of relief, his face looked much better with the naked eye.
His face no longer oozes terrible droplets of water and black mud, and although the green veins on his face are still bulging, the situation has not deteriorated further, and everyone's expressions have looked much better.
"It's a sign of a ghost."
Zhao Fusheng said:
"After being marked by a ghost, you will be killed by a ghost, and the only solution is to close this ghost case and solve the ghost problem at the root."
After thinking that he was safe and sound for the time being, Zhuang Laoqi regained his previous cowardly and incompetent nature.
As soon as he heard the ghost case, his subconscious eyes flashed, his chin shrank, revealing a look of fear and anxiety that he wanted to escape:
"I—I'm afraid to go back—"
"No way!"
When Zhao Fusheng heard this, he flatly refused: "You must go with us." ”
After speaking, he added:
"It's not just you who are going, your old watch is going to be with us."
This time, the ghost killing law of Kuailiang Village is evil, and the way of spreading the mark is also very strange, she must take these two scourge bodies with her and send them back to Kuera Village.
"After being marked by ghosts, the ghosts will find you sooner or later, and there is no way to avoid them."
"In this Wan'an County, I am the one who deals with the ghosts, and you can only have a chance of life if you follow me."
"But—"
Zhuang Laoqi was still a little uneasy and wanted to refuse.
Zhao Fusheng said in a low voice:
"No, but! Zhuang Laoqi, I'm not discussing with you, if you push back again, do you believe it or not, I will let people drag you down and beat you again? ”
Her threat quickly deterred Zhuang Laoqi.
He subconsciously touched his hind legs.
Obviously, his wound has long been painless, but the fear left by his life is still there, which makes him afraid, and he has not dared to speak out again.
He acquiesced in Zhao Fusheng's arrangement, and Zhao Fusheng breathed a sigh of relief.
"Second Brother Fan, put his clothes on for him, take him out, and send him to the carriage."
She is calm:
"Lao Zhang, Shaochun, you will also wake up Gou Si later and put him in the car together."
Zhuang Laoqi's eyes fell on Gou Si, and he originally wanted to ask Zhao Fusheng why he didn't bring the old watch with him in the car at the same time, but when he heard Zhao Fusheng's words, he dispelled the doubts in his heart.
He got up obediently, saw Fan Wuxuan take off his coat, and handed it to him.
Fan Wusu is a member of the Demon Suppression Division.
There is no shortage of food and clothing in the Demon Suppression Division now, although Fan Wusheng's coat is not a silk satin, but it is seventy or eighty percent new, the material is a good cloth, and it is very strong, and there is no patch.
After Zhuang Laoqi took it, he couldn't help but show a look of surprise.
"Is this for me? What good clothes—"
His soaked white hand touched the warm garment, and the mud between his fingers and the wet palm quickly left visible marks on the garment.
"Oops!"
Zhuang Laoqi let out a miserable scream.
At the hole in his back, the water was rippling violently, and Fan Wuxu trembled and saw that the red-hot edge of his wound spread out a little as Zhuang Laoqi's mood stirred.
"What a pity, my lord, I won't wear it, I'm afraid I'll get dirty—" He didn't notice anything unusual about himself, and was full of chagrin at the fact that his clothes had been soiled by his own rough hands.
"Put it on!"
Zhao Fusheng commanded in a tough tone.
After finishing speaking, she looked at Zhuang Lao Qi fixedly for a long time, and suddenly her expression slowly softened:
"You have a ghost mark on your back, and it's always unsightly to be seen."
"It's just one piece of clothing, if you like it, and then the two brothers have old clothes, they can choose a few for you."
Zhuang Laoqi's eyes lit up:
"Really? My lord? ”
"Really, really."
Fan Wusu nodded again and again:
"My brother and I have several clothes that we don't wear, and you can choose as long as it suits."
After speaking, he said, "Put it on." ”
"Yes, yes, yes."
After saying this, Zhuang Laoqi had no doubts and hurriedly put on his clothes.
As soon as the clothes touched his back, they quickly became wet with water marks.
On his left back, a blood-red mark with the size of a bowl mouth quickly appeared, and he didn't realize it at all, and he was still happily touching his cuffs:
"What a good dress, my dad never wore it in his life—"
Fan Wusu forced his composure and led him out of the hall.
As soon as he left, Zhang Chuanshi hurriedly rushed to the left and right side halls, opened the closed door, and fresh air poured in, washing away the faint smell of corpses in the room.
"Whew-"
The crowd who had been holding their breath for a long time took a long breath.
"My lord—" Zhang Chuanshi shouted, and Zhao Fusheng said:
"Time is running out, don't take the luggage, wake up Gou Laosi immediately, I have something to explain to him, so that he doesn't show his bottom."
After she finished ordering, Wu Shaochun nodded, knelt down to Gou Si's side, pinched the other person hard, and quickly woke him up.
"Ghost—"
Gou Laosi was about to scream when he woke up, but Wu Shaochun covered his mouth when he saw the opportunity.
"Don't talk too much, don't ask questions, listen to me first." Zhao Fusheng said coldly:
"If you don't understand, I'll kill you right away."
Gou Laosi was frightened by her, and had seen the scene of ghosts behind her before, and nodded desperately with tears in his eyes, but he was bitterly covered by Wu Shaochun, so he could only make a 'woo' sound in his nose.
"You have also seen Zhuang Laoqi's situation, he is now a living dead, and the reason why he is not completely dead is because he doesn't realize that he is dead, and he still has a breath left to hold on."
Zhao Fusheng didn't care whether Gou Laosi could accept it or how much he could accept it, and said it in one go:
"But he can't be punctured, and once he is punctured, he will die immediately. He is the carrier of the ghost mark, once he dies, there may be two results, one is the scene of the banker's village, full of financial reports. ”
Zhuang Laoqi's body will become one of the sources of contamination, and those who witnessed his death will be immediately flagged.
"The second is that he will revive the ghosts and become one of the ghosts in Kuailiang Village, and he will harm the people of the county."
Zhao Fusheng is not sure about this situation, she has handled a lot of ghost cases now, and she can be called an experienced case handler in the Demon Suppression Division of the Han Dynasty, but in fact, the ghost cases she has dealt with are limited, and many situations can only be guessed.
The ghost case in Kuailiang Village came unexpectedly, and it was also a huge test for her.
"You'd better pretend that nothing is going on, and don't let him realize he's dead."
After she finished speaking, she looked at Gou Laosi:
"Did you hear me?"
"Woo-"
Gou Laosi nodded desperately, indicating that he had understood.
Wu Shaochun moved his palm away, and as soon as he gained the freedom to speak, he said with tears in his eyes:
"My lord's life, I really don't dare to go to Kuailiang Village, I beg my lord to spare my life, if I don't talk to my old watch, I won't leak the news-"
"It's useless."
Zhao Fusheng looked at him calmly.
"I have already said that if you are marked by a powerful ghost, even if I let you go, your final result will only be the same as Zhuang Laoqi, becoming a source of misfortune and bringing misfortune to the people you come into contact with."
"Have you seen Zhuang Laoqi's back?" She looked directly into Gou Laosi's eyes.
Gou Laosi's eyes gradually despaired.
He remembered what he had seen earlier: a hole in the back of his emaciated back, the edge of which looked like a red-hot piece of paper, covered with stinking black water.
Zhuang Laoqi's terrifying face like a living dead echoed in his mind, and finally gradually changed into his own appearance.
"What do you mean, sir, am I not saved?" He said in despair.
"It can't be said that there is only one death, but if the ghost case spreads, the ghost will find you sooner or later, and then it will be your death date." Zhao Fusheng said.
"Come with us to Kuailiang Village and see what happened there, if the ghost case is solved, you haven't been killed by the ghosts, and it's not like there's no chance of life."
When she said this, Gou Laosi's eyes lit up slightly.
Zhao Fusheng then said:
"But if you have other plans, I can only kill you before I go."
Her tone was calm, her eyes were gentle, but her firm attitude was revealed in her eyes, Gou Laosi shuddered, and the hope in her eyes faded.
Both horizontal and vertical are going to die, but there is a glimmer of life when you go to Kuailiang Village.
How to choose, Gou Laosi already has a bottom in his heart.
……
Zhao Fusheng asked people to take him out, escorted him to the car, and then told Pang Zhi County to take care of the government affairs of Wan'an County.
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Fan Bi who came in in a hurry.
"My lord—"
Before he finished packing his luggage, he heard that Zhao Fusheng was leaving immediately, and hurriedly came to ask what was going on, and saw Zhao Fusheng turn his head to look at him:
"After I leave, the Demon Suppression Division will be handed over to you for the time being."
"My lord, this trip to Kuailiang Village-" Fan Bi wanted to ask her how sure she was, but when the words came to his lips, he changed again:
"When will the adults return?"
"The return date is uncertain."
Zhao Fusheng replied.
These words made Fan Bi die and Pang Zhixian's bodies tremble, and the two glanced at each other, with an anxious look in their eyes.
"The incident in Kuailiang Village is even more tricky than I expected."
Powerful ghosts can kill people from a distance.
Zhuang Laoqi was just marked by the ghosts, and he had stayed away from Zhuangjia Village, and after escaping into Wan'an County, he was quietly wiped out by the ghosts when Wan'an County had a plaque for the Demon Suppression Division.
And after death, the body became a carrier of ghosts, which forced Zhao Fusheng to almost revive the ghosts.
Although the evil-level ghost who gave first and took it later appeared and suppressed the ghost breath attached to Zhuang Laoqi, Zhao Fusheng was not optimistic when he thought of it.
This is not the home of the ghosts of Kuarao Village.
With only a trace of the breath of a powerful ghost, he can ignore the suppression of the plaque of the Demon Suppression Division and kill people remotely, and he can counteract the ghost hand after being injured, so that the powerful ghost controlled by Zhao Fusheng can be revived, and it can already be seen that the 'Zhuang Si Niang' is fierce after his death.
"It's an uphill battle." Zhao Fusheng lowered his head and tidied up his clothes:
"I'm not sure when I'll return, but if things go well, we'll be back as soon as possible."
After she said this, Fan Bid's hand shook a few times, and then lifted up a simple burden that had been packed:
"Don't worry, my lord, we will wait for you to come back in the Demon Suppression Division, there is no special record file in the palace, I will find an account office when I go back-"
He rambled:
"There's a lot more to do—"
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly burst into tears:
"My lord, I only have such a brother."
"If it's easy, please don't forget to bring him back—"
Zhao Fusheng looked up at him, and he was also staring at her.
The two looked at each other for a long time, Fan Bid's eyes gradually became desperate, and Zhao Fusheng said lightly:
"I will."
She didn't have any extra promises, but as soon as she said this, her dim eyes instantly lit up.
It was as if he had unloaded a thousand pounds of stone.
Several people surrounded Zhao Fusheng and sent her out of the hall.
The carriage outside had been prepared, and it was a man in the prime of life who drove it.
Zhao Fusheng frowned:
"Let him come down, Lao Zhang catches the car."
"Your Excellency?" Fan Bidying, who was carrying the burden, hurriedly stepped forward when he heard this:
"This ghost case is dangerous, multiple people have multiple opportunities-"
The big man who was driving the car was frightened when he heard this, but he didn't move, and Zhao Fusheng said:
"Do what you have to do, and the rules can't be messed up."
"This time the ghost case in Kuailiang Village is indeed dangerous-"
When she said this, Pang Zhixian also answered:
"My lord, Kuailiang Village is a clan system, and if something like the Zhuang family happens, it is very likely to trigger their xenophobia, you can also protect yourself by bringing a few more people around."
He has been dealing with people for many years, and this makes sense.
Er Fan and Zhang Chuanshi both nodded, and Zhao Fusheng said:
"I did think so."
The villagers of Kuailiang are fierce, and the people who are plagued by the evil ghosts are both pitiful and hateful.
When it comes to the secrets of the village, it is very likely that it will be resisted by the locals.
This is also the original intention of Zhao Fusheng to bring Zhang Chuanshi, Fan Wusu and Wu Shaochun on this trip - there are many people and things are easy to do.
But she harnessed the ghosts and pardoned the door gods, and in the face of these ordinary villagers, she was not a powerless person.
"It's really useful to bring more people, but the case of the Demon Suppression Division is still in charge of the Ling Division and the Ling Envoy, and this kind of rule cannot be broken."
She said:
"As for the lack of manpower, I went to Wulidian Tun later, and then asked the local tun chief to recruit manpower."
This incident was a dereliction of duty on the part of Zhou Tun, the chief of Wulidiantun.
He had no way to govern the feudal territory, which led to the abuse of lynching in Kuailiang Village, which artificially created this ghost disaster, which caused a tragedy.
"In this case, they can't escape the blame, and they shouldn't use the hands of our Wan'an County Town Demon Division."
When Zhao Fusheng said this, Fan Bi Death understood the meaning of her words and nodded.
The big man who was driving the car was like escaping death, he was greatly relieved, and jumped off the parking space in a hurry, sweating profusely and said:
"Thank you, sir."
Zhao Fusheng ignored him, but looked at Zhang Chuanshi.
