Chapter 189: Joining the Establishment
Chapter 189
On the surface, it seems that the husband and wife were separated due to Kuai Wu, and Zhuang Siniang had an affair with a foreigner, which caused the village to kill people in vain.
But under careful investigation, Kuai Wu's changes were born due to the death of his father, and Kuai Huaide's disgusting obscenity was maliciously distorted because his family was poor and unable to marry a wife.
Uncle Kuai Liu's lynching was finally made for the anger of the civilians, because he had no bottom limit after his guilt, and helped Kuai Wu's family......
Tracing the source of the tragedy, it is that the lion of Zhuang Siniang's family opened their mouths and asked for a high dowry.
This money went to Zhuang Siniang's parents, but it was not squandered, but most of it was used for taxes and the marriage of sons in the family - the root of all problems lies in the heavy taxation of the imperial court, the pressure of the environment, and the people's livelihood is difficult to survive.
However, the people could not shake the imperial court, and this oppression was devolved layer by layer, resulting in a strict hierarchy in the county: village elders suppressed villagers, husbands suppressed wives, parents controlled their children, and finally tragedy.
"I heard Shaochun mention a village, Huanggang Village."
Zhao Fusheng looked at Pang Zhixian:
"Huanggang Village has a tradition of selling goods, often employing nearby young villagers, which sounds like it is also colluding with illegal livelihoods."
Pang Zhixian's expression was stunned, and there was a thoughtful look on his face:
"I've heard a few of them, too."
Gu Jiansheng didn't know about the existence of Huanggang Village, but he probably knew a little about the 'illegal livelihood' in Zhao Fusheng's mouth.
These things are the internal affairs of Wan'an County, and he is silent.
"There are a lot of old graves in the back of their village, and the villagers often dig up some old objects, and sometimes they have to send them to other places to sell."
The county has also heard of such a situation, and Pang Zhixian has a headache and said:
"Don't tell you that when Lord Zhao was alive, he also considered the problem of Huanggang Village, and I feel that if they do this, they will cause a big disaster one day."
Zhao Qiming, as the second generation of ghost riders, has a certain amount of insight and vision, but unfortunately this person has a short life.
"It's just that before he could free up his hands to solve the problem in Huanggang Village, something happened to the Demon Suppression Division." Pangzhi County Road:
"There are many bandit cottages near their villages, and our county is understaffed and cannot provide soldiers, so we can't solve these bandits, so we can only rely on these villages to organize militias to resist the bandits."
Once the militia was formed in the villages, it was difficult for the imperial court to let them evacuate, and after a long time, it was difficult to restrain the villages.
And as soon as these villages formed village militias formed clans over time, they would have the rules of private organization in the village, just like Kuailiang Village, and there would be abuse of lynching.
In comparison, Uncle Kuailiu of Kuailiang Village is already a good citizen who abides by the law.
Zhao Fusheng smiled, and realized more clearly what kind of mess he had received.
However, she is luckier than Zhao Qiming, she has the god list with her, with the conclusion of one ghost case after another, after opening the god position and hell of the god list, she gradually has her own capital and has a certain confidence in handling ghost cases.
As long as she lives, there is a chance that these problems in the village will be alleviated.
"After the grain arrives in the county, the recruitment of manpower will give priority to the villages near Huanggang Village to recruit people into the army."
Zhao Fusheng's eyes flashed and he said.
Now that the ghost case has happened, once someone dies, the god list will deduct a lot of merit points, and Zhao Fusheng tries his best to pay attention to the ghost case from the source and reduce his losses.
Huanggang Village is not a small danger, and she told Pang Zhi County to pay more attention.
Pang Zhixian's eyes lit up, and he nodded yes.
"That's right, sir." After talking about what happened in Huanggang Village, Pang Zhixian suddenly remembered something:
"I heard from Fan Lingen a few days ago that there is a bookkeeper in the Demon Suppression Division."
Pang Zhi County says:
"There is a cousin in my clan, very talented and learned, in his early years, he was a famous teacher, and he once served as the county commander of Tongzhou with filial piety, but the local ghost disaster occurred, and there was a big case, and he was later held accountable."
He looked at Zhao Fusheng:
"Since then, he has been idle at home, and has not re-entered the office, but he is very capable, I wrote to him in the middle of last month, asking him to come to Wan'an County, calculate the time, now he should have received the letter, I am afraid that he is on the way to come."
When Zhao Fusheng heard this, he was immediately overjoyed.
Wan'an County is not a blessed land at this time.
Pang Zhixian is willing to recruit relatives here, obviously trusting her ability.
At this time, even if Pang Zhixian intended to curry favor with himself and go to the Demon Suppression Division, Zhao Fusheng was also very happy.
She readily agreed:
"This is great, now there is a shortage of people in the government office, and Zheng He has sent this money again, which just needs someone to take care of it."
Although Fan Bisheng has some ability, he is not a person who specializes in dealing with these chores after all, not to mention that Zhao Fusheng is still very curious about their brothers' backgrounds, and he is not ready to let these two brothers be entangled in tedious chores.
If the cousin recruited by Pang Zhi County had been in charge of the affairs of a county, it would naturally be easy to take care of the internal affairs of a demon suppression department.
"I just don't know if this cousin of yours is willing to come."
Pang Zhixian was also very happy when he heard her say this.
"He has been close to me since he was a child, and he listens to me very much, plus after he experienced the last ghost case, he was scared and dared not go out of Beijing again. Pang Zhi County is very determined.
Zhao Fusheng nodded, and then stopped talking about this topic, but talked about another serious matter:
"By the way, I have one more thing for you to do."
"Your Excellency, please speak."
As soon as Pang Zhixian heard her order, he immediately sat up straight.
Zhao Fusheng waved his hand, signaling that he didn't need to be so serious, and then said:
"This time, in the ghost case of Kuailiang Village, although the big ghost case was closed, because of the complicated situation in the village, a powerful ghost was missed-"
"It was a native of Kuailiang Village before his death, and he was also the husband of the fourth lady of the big ghost village who was revived in this ghost case, known as Kuaiwu, and after his death-"
Zhao Fusheng was mentioning the 'disgusting ghost', and at this moment, someone suddenly shouted outside:
"Hey, how did you kid climb so high-"
As soon as the man's voice fell, Zhao Fusheng turned his head to look, only to see a row of screens placed at the entrance of the side hall, and above the entrance, a hollow door frame was carved out of wood.
On the doorframe, a child was lying on top of it, like a giant spider clutching the hollowed-out wood.
Her black hair drooped, and her eyes peered through the gap in the doorframe.
Leng might as well turn his head and look, it is almost scared to death.
There are no other children in the Demon Suppression Division, who else can there be except Kuai Manzhou, who came back with her this time?
At the same time as she turned her head to look, Gu Jiansheng and Pang Zhixian also saw Kuai Manzhou's figure.
Gu Jiansheng already knew that Kuai Manzhou was also a ghost rider at this time, and when he saw this little girl, he was afraid, remembering that he didn't know whether to mention her alive or dead when he was in Zhuangjia Village before, and he was even more afraid.
And Pang Zhixian didn't know what to do, and said:
"Why did this kid climb so high, come down."
Zhao Fusheng got up with a calm face, walked out of the screen and stretched out his hand to her:
"Full Week, come down!"
The people outside were shouting, too.
At this time, the hair is windless and automatic.
Countless black qi escaped from her body, turning into thin silk threads, wrapping around the gaps in these wooden frames, hanging her petite body to sag.
It's just weird.
Kuai Manzhou's whole person is like a marionette, and the people who were still shouting outside before saw this scene, and they were so frightened that they almost screamed, and hurriedly retreated.
The little girl successfully fell into Zhao Fusheng's arms and shouted:
"Fusheng."
Pang Zhixian was sitting upright inside, and he didn't see the scene of Kuai Manzhou exerting his powerful ghost power through the screen.
He is ignorant and fearless, and when he heard Kuai Manzhou call Zhao Fusheng by his name, he was immediately a little dissatisfied:
"This kid has no rules, he has to be called an adult."
"Mother." Kuai Manzhou changed her title, Zhao Fusheng couldn't bear it anymore, and threw her out:
"Don't shout."
"Fusheng." Kuai Manzhou obediently changed his name.
Pang Zhixian couldn't stand it a little, and wanted to teach this wayward baby a lesson, Gu Jiansheng felt pity and held down the old Zhixian:
"Huge people, let her be."
"But-" Pang Zhixian was a little unconvinced, and Zhao Fusheng also shook his head:
"Whatever her name is, her name is just a code name, just for people."
Kuai Manzhou squeezed next to her, leaned over to her, and squeezed a chair with her.
"You want to hear about disgusting ghosts?"
Zhao Fusheng turned his head to ask her, and the little girl nodded.
"Just listen to it." Zhao Fusheng didn't refuse, Pang Zhixian's face was weird, and he always felt that she was a little weird tolerant of the only survivor of this ghost case.
"This time in the Kuai Village ghost case, after Kuai Wu's death, the ghost resurrected, became a disgusting ghost, and has escaped."
When Zhao Fusheng said this, Kuai Manzhou's expression did not change, she was still cold and dumbfounded, but her tiny fingers were already grasping the table, obviously the child's heart was quite bored at this time.
"I now want you to immediately release an official document to make people pay attention to the existence of this ghost, if there are clues, once verified, the person who reported it will be rewarded."
As soon as her voice fell, Pang Zhixian's face showed a dazed and overwhelmed look.
He has been an official for several years, and he has also dealt with the Demon Suppression Division in the past, and compared with the thousands of ordinary people in the Han Dynasty, he can be regarded as a person with a certain amount of knowledge.
In Pang Zhi County's cognition, when encountering a ghost case, if most of the Ling Si can drive it away, he will already be regarded as the chosen son.
But after Zhao Fusheng took the throne, every time he handled a ghost case, he either decomposed the ghosts, or sealed and suppressed them, handled the ghost case very beautifully, and completely solved the hidden dangers.
Now this adult seems to have evolved, and he has offered to be wanted by a ghost.
"What do you mean, yes, are you going to want ghosts?"
Pang Zhixian still couldn't believe his conjecture, so in order to be cautious, he asked more.
"Yes."
Zhao Fusheng nodded.
She remembered that she had been deducted 1,000 merit points after the ghost case was closed because of the disgusting ghost escaping from the restraints this time, and her heart was a little hateful.
"I've dealt with it in a ghost village, and this ghost should have a ghost skin left, and when the ghost skin comes into contact with humans, it will cover people's bodies."
Zhao Fusheng told the scene of his fight with the disgusting ghost, and put forward some of his own views on the characteristics of this ghost based on the ghost case and the tips of the god list:
"When the ghost skin covers a person, it eats the flesh of the dried person, causing the person to die without even realizing it. I guess that after being possessed by a disgusting ghost, people will change somewhat. ”
"Your temperament will change drastically, and your appearance will become sloppy—"
She remembered a hiccup from the disgusting ghost at that time, which stinked so much that Wu Shaochun and Fan Wusu didn't look away, and added:
"Maybe there's a stench on you."
Pang Zhixian was sincerely frightened and kept her words firmly in his heart.
"But I don't know what kind of person will trigger the disgusting ghost killing law at the moment, but I think I can summon people from Wulidiantun and start with the people who Kuai Wu had a relationship with before his death."
When a ghost kills people, he will generally give priority to killing his blood relatives, or people who have intersected with him before he dies (not because of closeness, but because people who have intersected with ghosts before his death are most likely to trigger the law of ghost killing), this is Zhao Fusheng's own inductive summary.
Pang Zhixian nodded.
"In addition, drunk, wife-beating, or rumored women should be paid attention to one by one."
Zhao Fusheng thought about it and added:
"If someone in the family dies of their father, pay attention as well."
The scope of this investigation is already very large, and Pang Zhi County still responded.
Compared with the huge workload, he is more worried about ghost killing.
"My lord, if you find out—"
Before Zhao Fusheng could speak, Kuai Manzhou suddenly said:
"I'll go."
"You?!" Pang Zhixian's eyes widened.
Zhao Fusheng nodded:
"If I don't have time then, I can go all week, she's also a ghost handler."
After speaking, she saw that Pang Zhixian seemed to have been hit by a critical blow, and the whole person was like a thunderbolt, so she sat in place, and said:
"The reason why the ghost case of Kuailiang Village was closed this time was because Man Zhou made her mother, that is, Zhuang Siniang."
“……”
Pang Zhixian only knew at this time that Gu Jiansheng was kind enough to hold down the reason for himself, he didn't expect that Kuai Manzhou in front of him was also a ghost master, and he actually scolded her loudly before......
Thinking of this, Pang Zhixian was almost panicked, and it was difficult to sit on the chair steadily, not daring to look directly into Kuai Manzhou's eyes.
At this moment, he began to regret that he didn't have a detailed understanding of the causes and consequences of the ghost case in Zhuang and Kuai villages, otherwise it would not have been possible to make such a serious mistake, and he almost offended the ghost tamer unconsciously.
Perhaps it was Zhao Fusheng's emotional stability that made him almost forget the difficulty and gloom of the ghost master.
Under a closer look, Kuai Manzhou's eyes were cold, his complexion was pale, although he was a child, but he did not see half of the innocence of a child on his face, but with a chilling coldness.
"By the way, since Man Zhou wants to stay in the Demon Suppression Division, he must also follow the rules of the Demon Suppression Division, and the huge person will take her to Brother Fan's side for me, and let her register on the soul book first."
Zhao Fusheng commanded.
“…… Me, me? ”
When Pang Zhixian heard this task, he immediately felt as if a nail was installed on the chair.
He moved his ass twice, and he couldn't wait to run away immediately:
"Great, my lord, I may- might as well be called Master—"
"It's fine."
Zhao Fusheng shook his head, reached out and touched Kuai Manzhou's head:
"Man Zhou is a good boy, he won't mess around, I have to listen to this grandfather-"
She looked at Kuai Manzhou, her tone was gentle, but her eyes were calm, with a hint of warning.
Kuai Man looked up at her, and the child's eyes were black and white.
But if you look closely, you can still see the black lines wandering under her eyes, and there is an abnormal weirdness in that blackness.
The little girl suddenly tilted her head and closed her eyes when the black gas under her eyes occupied the whites of her eyes.
Zhao Fusheng's actions and words seemed to suddenly touch some memories in her heart, making her react, instinct occupied the ghostly nature, she stretched out a pair of thin arms, hugged Zhao Fusheng, put her face on her belly, and rubbed it with attachment.
Mother, I will be obedient.
She thought to herself.
But he didn't dare to open his eyes to see, afraid of all kinds of patient advice, and gentle soothing were just a flower in the mirror, a moon in the water.
