Chapter 190: Plaque Trading
Chapter 190
The invisible ghost qi restrained Zhao Fusheng.
She didn't dodge, but let Kuai Manzhou hug her tightly, maintaining the action of stroking the little girl's head.
After a while, Kuai Manzhou opened his eyes, and the leaking ghost qi was gradually controlled.
The child obediently withdrew his hand and agreed:
"Okay."
She walked up to Pang Zhixian and went to take his hand.
“……”
Lao Zhixian let her hold it.
I only felt that where she was holding it, half of my arm was numb.
When he didn't know that Kuai Manzhou was a ghost handler, he only felt that the only survivor of Kuailiang Village was a little introverted and silent, and after knowing the truth at this time, he always felt that the hand he was holding was not like a living thing.
"Let's go."
Kuai Manzhou shook his arm.
She has a password, and Pang Zhixian has an action.
Zhao Fusheng controlled the Demon Suppression Division for several months, and he had forgotten how terrifying a ghost trainer was, and Lao Zhixian finally regained the feeling of being dominated by fear at this time.
He glanced at Zhao Fusheng as if asking for help, but Zhao Fusheng smiled and nodded at him:
"Go ahead, Man Zhou will be obedient."
Pang Zhixian was taken away by the little girl with a sad face.
As soon as the two men left, the temperature in the side hall gradually began to recover.
Gu Jiansheng, who didn't dare to breathe before, slowly breathed a long sigh of relief and wiped his forehead.
Kuai Manzhou is young, has a complicated experience, and has just controlled the ghost, many times on the verge of losing control, and the power of the ghost is easily shown by her inadvertently, which is very stressful.
Thinking of this, Gu Jiansheng glanced at Zhao Fusheng strangely: This adult of the Demon Division of Wan'an County is also a ghost master, and she is not very old, she has handled several big ghost cases, and she has also borrowed the ability of powerful ghosts, but she doesn't even have the slightest tendency to get out of control.
She seems to be no different from ordinary people-
No. Gu Jiansheng immediately overturned his thoughts in his mind, and Zhao Fusheng's emotions were even much more stable than ordinary people.
She doesn't seem to be moody, not only is she not affected by ghosts, but she is also easier to get along with than normal people.
After a long time, people will even subconsciously ignore that she should also be a violent and uncertain ghost handler.
It's so weird!
Gu Jiansheng scratched his head, vaguely understanding why he was in a hurry to escape from Baozhi County and join Wan'an County.
Compared with Zheng He, Zhao Fusheng feels much easier to deal with.
And the sense of stability she gives people is contrary to her identity as a ghost handler.
"My lord, what do you have to tell me to keep me?" Gu Jiansheng couldn't understand Zhao Fusheng's sense of contradiction, so he simply didn't want to.
He had a flexible brain, and at this time he had already seen that Zhao Fusheng should have something to say to him when he took Pang Zhixian and Kuaiman Zhou.
Zhao Fusheng smiled.
"Is Zheng He's situation serious?"
There is no need to beat around the bush to talk to smart people, although Gu Jiansheng is not very smart, but he came this time, and he should have carried Zheng He's entrustment behind his back.
Gu Jiansheng nodded when he heard this:
"My lord, Lord Zheng said that he may not support it until the end of the year, and he may be able to revive himself."
At this, a look of fear appeared on his face.
Zheng He's powerful ghost is kept in his body.
After controlling the ghosts, he has already handled several ghost cases, and with the help of several ghost powers, he himself is on the verge of losing control.
The day the ghost broke out of his belly was the date of his death.
Although he tried not to exert his power after that, the ghost thing was still gradually recovering, and the ghost head crawled out little by little.
According to his original estimates, he will be able to last until the end of the year.
The imperial court also knew about his situation, and if everything went well, around November, the imperial court should send a new commander to take over his post in Baozhi County.
But there was a change in the middle.
This variable is Zhao Fusheng.
Wan'an County, which was originally the place of exile of the imperial court, had a Zhao Fusheng, and he did not play cards according to reason to dump the Zhao couple who were revived by the ghosts that day to Baozhi County, and after the recovery of the two ghosts, Zheng He was anxious.
But this is not the main reason that affects his early recovery of ghosts, the reason why Zheng He's situation is unstable now is related to the fact that the two of them almost broke out into a fight when they met in the Demon Suppression Division that day.
At that time, Zhao Fusheng suppressed Zheng He strongly, and took away a life money from the ghost in his body, which temporarily restrained the ghost in Zheng He's body at that time - but after a long time, the speed of the ghost's recovery accelerated, and Zheng He couldn't last long.
When Zhao Fusheng heard this, he groaned for a moment.
In the final analysis, although Zheng He's ghost disaster stemmed from his own ghost control, his current ghost recovery time is advanced, and he has some cause and effect with Zhao Fusheng.
But Zhao Fusheng doesn't feel guilty because of this.
As the Fan brothers said, this is forced by the status quo of the Han Dynasty, and everyone is here to survive.
She was a beginner at that time, and she was in a difficult stage, so she naturally wanted to transfer the trouble.
Now that she has the ability, she is also willing to help Zheng He within her ability - but this also requires Zheng He to pay a certain price.
When she was separated in Baozhi County that day, she revealed this information to Zheng He, Zheng He thought about it, and it should be unbearable, so she gathered some of the pledged property in more than a month and sent Gu Jiansheng to come to her to surrender.
Zhao Fusheng smiled:
"What did Zheng He say to you before you left?"
Gu Jiansheng didn't dare to hide it, and said bluntly:
"Vice Commander Zheng said that the Lord has a way to solve the resurgence of the evil ghost in him-"
Speaking of this, Gu Jiansheng swallowed his saliva and secretly raised his eyes to look at Zhao Fusheng.
I saw her smiling and gentle eyes, but for some reason, he was afraid in his heart, and he didn't dare to look directly at her, just glanced at it, and lowered his head.
If Zhao Fusheng can solve the problem of the resurgence of the ghosts, once the news spreads, I am afraid that the imperial court will recruit her into Beijing.
"So before I came, Deputy Commander Zheng confessed to him, and he promised to have any conditions for the adults, as long as the adults could save his life, he was willing to listen to the adults to send them."
In fact, Zheng He's original words were: as long as Zhao Fusheng can save his life, he is willing to be Zhao Fusheng's lackey.
Zhao Fusheng nodded:
"Since Zheng He said so, I will say it directly."
For the price Zheng He has to pay, she has already thought about it many times in her heart:
"I want Zheng He to take down the plaque on the Demon Division of Baozhi County, and let him personally bring this plaque to Wan'an County to find me."
Her words were beyond the expectations of the ancient construction business.
Before he came to Wan'an County, Zheng He considered Zhao Fusheng's request and guessed that she would open her mouth, in addition to gold and silver finances, there were also some rare and fierce things, things related to restraining powerful ghosts......
Because of all kinds of hidden worries, Zheng He has never dared to make up his mind, Gu Jiansheng heard Zhao Fusheng's words at this time, and thought in a trance: Deputy Zheng Ling is afraid that he will be stunned for a long time if he learns the inside story.
"My lord, I just need the plaque of the Demon Suppression Division? And let Vice Commander Zheng personally send it to you? ”
Perhaps this request was so bizarre that Gu Jiansheng even forgot to bow his head, stared at Zhao Fusheng with wide eyes, and repeated her words again.
Zhao Fusheng bowed slightly:
"Of course, this is not the only one."
Gu Jiansheng breathed a rare sigh of relief: as long as there is more than one request, it is right.
If something is abnormal, it is a demon, and she can help Zheng He restrain the resurgence of the ghost, but she just wants a plaque from the imperial court - what is the use of this thing? You can't eat or drink.
"I want Zheng He to send a plaque, and from now on, Baozhi County will be included in Wan'an County, and he will also join the Wan'an County Town Demon Division, and from then on he will be dispatched by me."
"That's natural." Gu Jiansheng almost didn't have to consider such a request, so he agreed for Zheng He without hesitation.
"Don't be too quick to promise. The plaque of the Demon Suppression Division itself belongs to the imperial court, what if Zheng He doesn't agree? Zhao Fusheng said with a smile.
Gu Jiansheng disagreed:
"My lord doesn't know, since the imperial court has assigned duties, Baozhi County is equivalent to the territory of Zheng Vice Order, a plaque, he can be the master."
His words show that the court of the Han Dynasty has extremely weak control over the local demon suppression division.
The plaque of the Demon Suppression Division is not a search object, and it is nominally the property of the imperial court, but Zheng He can dispose of it at will for his own safety, which shows that it is actually difficult for the ghost riders within the Demon Suppression Division to be completely controlled.
This is still the case for the above, not to mention the treatment of the people under these orders.
Zhao Fusheng shook his head imperceptibly, sighed, and didn't say much.
Anyway, she had already reminded her, and it didn't matter to her what happened in the future, she just had to get the Demon Suppression Division plaque in her hands.
"Okay." She pressed down the distracting thoughts in her heart and said:
"As for the law that the Demon Suppression Commander is not allowed to leave the territory of the county government to which he belongs, leave it to Zheng He to solve it himself."
Gu Jiansheng replied respectfully.
After finishing his business, Gu Jiansheng hesitated for a moment.
Zhao Fusheng took a sip of the tea on the side, and saw that he hadn't left yet, so he knew that he had something to say, so he couldn't help but ask him:
"Anything else?"
"Your Excellency." Gu Jiansheng couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he heard her take the initiative to speak, and hurriedly walked to her side with a smiling face, leaning his back:
"If Deputy Commander Zheng is under the command of the Lord, what will we do?"
"What to do?"
Zhao Fusheng guessed what he was thinking, but he deliberately didn't break it, but looked at him with a smile:
"What do you want to do?"
"I want to be by the side of the adults and serve them."
Gu Jiansheng replied without hesitation.
"Generally speaking, if a county town demon division is disbanded or co-opted, what will the others do?" Zhao Fusheng asked.
There are many precedents for this kind of thing in the past.
In recent years, the frequency of ghost cases in the Han Dynasty has become more and more serious, resulting in some counties and towns being abandoned by the imperial court like Wan'an County.
Gu Jiansheng said: "According to the previous rules, before the commander leaves office, he will arrange the whereabouts of the previous envoy. ”
These unlucky envoys were either dispatched, or those who had a way to find their own place to find another way to receive them from the Yamen of the Demon Suppression Sect (although the latter was much less likely).
Zhao Fusheng nodded thoughtfully.
"What are you doing with me? You've seen the situation in our Demon Suppression Division. ”
Zhao Fusheng put aside the teacup and looked at Gu Jiansheng calmly:
"I have to deal with a case, and every time I will order to accompany you, if you come to my side, in the case of insufficient manpower, it is difficult for me to guarantee that I will not take you to handle the ghost case together."
And the danger of handling ghost cases, Gu Jiansheng also knows that when dealing with ghosts, if you are not careful, you may lose your life.
Gu Jiansheng gritted his teeth:
"I still want to be with the adults."
"Why?" Zhao Fusheng was really a little curious.
She had already explained it to Gu Jiansheng, but he knew that it was dangerous, but he still insisted on coming to Wan'an County.
"In this world, there is no such thing as a completely safe paradise."
Gu Jiansheng, who has always been hippie and smiling, is rarely a little serious, obviously this question has been thinking about it thousands of times in his mind when he came back from Wulidian Tun with Zhao Fusheng.
"I just don't come to Wan'an County, and if I go to other places, it's hard to guarantee that I will handle ghost cases."
There is the restriction that the imperial court must handle three cases a year, and other orders are to evade it, but this iron law cannot escape.
The ghost rider has been dealing with ghosts for a long time, and is almost no different from ghosts, so to speak, just a living corpse.
Such 'people' have no emotion, no joys, sorrows, and sorrows, and the envoys are not even like dogs in the eyes of these people.
In the face of danger, the envoy is the cornerstone of the path.
The reason why many ghost cases have been successfully handled is also because human life has been explored.
"Your Excellency has handled several ghost cases, and I see that almost all of your county envoys have traveled with adults."
Speaking of the double ghost case in Baozhi County, Gu Jiansheng and Zheng He are all participants.
At that time, Er Fan, as her entourage, did the most things, and also had close contact with powerful ghosts.
According to Gu Jiansheng's previous cognition, most of these orders have died in the slaughter of ghosts the moment the ghosts appeared.
But in the end, there were no dead people in the twin ghost case in Hochi County.
The people who participated in the case, and even witnessed the ghost case, survived, which is enough to see Zhao Fusheng's extraordinary ability.
Not only that, but this time in the ghost case of Kuailiang Village, three envoys accompanied him, and all three of them survived, and Zhang Chuanshi, who was traveling with him, even drove a big murderous thing, which was extremely incredible in Gu Jiansheng's opinion.
It may be a coincidence that the order makes it lucky not to die, but every time it happens, it is enough to make Gu Jiansheng's heart move.
"I want to be with the adults."
Gu Jiansheng gritted his teeth and said:
"Even if you have to deal with ghost cases, you still have a chance to survive, if you follow other Lingsi, you will survive for the time being, and there will be a time to die."
After speaking, he added:
"In fact, there are those who are deserted, but the Ling Si is dead, and there are almost no survivors."
The Great Han Dynasty only knew that the death rate of the Ling Si was high and the replacement was fast, but it didn't know that the ordinary Ling made the mortality rate higher and the frequency of replacement was faster - but no matter whether it was the people, the royal family of the court, or the generals of the Demon Suppression Division, no one would pay attention to the life or death of these ordinary envoys.
No one cares what happens to them.
"I see what you mean."
Zhao Fusheng responded:
"Since you have thought it through, go to find Brother Fan later, register the soul book, and then go back to Baozhi County to inform Zheng He."
As soon as her voice fell, Gu Jiansheng's eyes lit up, and he quickly stood up straight:
"Yes!"
He went out again, and his steps suddenly became much easier.
……
After solving these miscellaneous things, Zhao Fusheng sat quietly for a while.
The tea in the partial room is fragrant, and the outside is the gentry talking and laughing.
Most of the talk is about tonight's reception banquet, admiring Zhao Fusheng's speed in handling the case, and some people are discussing the store to be opened in the future--
On the one hand, it was quiet, and on the other hand, it was lively, which made Zhao Fusheng very leisurely at this time.
She threw her body back in the chair and let herself squint for a while, the reason why she tried her best to solve the ghost case was not only to get merit points and save her life, but also to protect an additional county town and make the people under her rule feel safe, which is also a good feeling.
