Chapter 203

Pang Zhixian was still thinking about what Zhao Fusheng said in his heart, and Leng might as well listen to her ask about the available manpower in the county, and he couldn't help but be excited, and hurriedly replied:

"My lord, there are not enough people these days."

He looked embarrassed:

"In the past, there have been bandits, and the solution in previous years was for the county government to borrow money from the county gentry."

In addition to the rampant ghosts and disasters in the Han Dynasty, the rebellion of soldiers and bandits was also the main culprit that caused the people's livelihood to be miserable at this time.

In order to protect their families, some gentry and gate lords would pay for thugs to take care of their homes and homes.

The same was true in Wan'an County before.

When it was time to suppress bandits, the magistrate asked the local gentry and natives to take the lead in paying a fund for suppressing bandits, and then levied a 'protection fee' from the people.

As soon as the money arrived, it was used to rent household furniture from the gentry and natives, and to pay the bandits.

These people set off in a majestic manner, and when they arrived at Fengmen Village, the local battle was set out, eating, drinking, and making noise for a while, which played a deterrent role and left.

In the end, the land was left full of devastation, but the real scourge was not eradicated, but remained and became an old disease, turning into a mountain that weighed on the poor people, causing them to gradually become numb with pain.

When Zhao Fusheng first proposed to hire strong men from Fengmen Village and Huanggang Village, she didn't really think about solving these bandits in a short period of time.

But at this time, Guo Wei was mentioned with Pang Zhixian, but because of this, he talked about the banditry, and he couldn't help but have a nameless fire in his heart.

Anger swelled from her heart, turning into a killing urge to see blood.

Attracted by this negative force, the ghost turned into a shadow under her feet, ready to move.

Her heart fluctuated, with a yin owl between her eyebrows, and she got up and walked back and forth.

Kuai Manzhou, who was playing with the shadow of his fingers on the side, seemed to sense something, and turned around.

The child was even more affected, and at some point she pinched a ghost flower that had been fully bloomed between her fingers, and the black of her eyes spread out, occupying the entire eye socket, and her body was full of ghosts.

The sun was shining brightly before, but at this time, the clouds hit, and the eaves were blocked by shadows, and the temperature in the Demon Suppression Division instantly dropped a lot.

Zhao Fusheng's knowledge of the sea sounded in the god list prompt: The host's breath is fused with the powerful ghosts, and the ghosts are about to recover, will it consume 20 merit points to suppress?

Be!

Zhao Fusheng took a deep breath, and the merit value in the sea was deducted.

In a moment, the eerie feeling on her body disappeared, and in the squirming shadows under her feet, there was an unwilling resentful consciousness that faded like a tide, and was firmly suppressed by the god list.

The sunlight under the eaves shone in again, and the chill in the hall dissipated.

The ghostly child blinked his eyes wide, and his face showed a confused and overwhelmed look.

The black qi in Kuai Manzhou's eyes dispersed, and a pair of eyes fell on Zhao Fusheng, staring at her for a long time, as if in this moment, her emotions had eased in this moment.

The child yawned heavily, and his long, slightly yellowed hair fell down.

The little girl tore open the petals and leaves in her hand, the ghost flower turned into black gas and dispersed, she leaned back on the table and played with her fingers again, as if she was not half interested in the conversation between Zhao Fusheng and Pang Zhixian.

Pang Zhi County did not know that the previous crisis had passed in a flash.

He only vaguely felt that it was a little cold at the previous moment, and Lao Zhixian sneezed, speculating in his heart: Maybe it was because the weather became cooler after the autumn, and in recent days, he saw that the weather was good, and he wore less clothes when he went out.

Lao Zhixian rubbed his arms, and continued the previous topic: "But after the accident in Wan'an County last year, many capable people have already moved away. ”

The reason why Yu Weide and the others did not leave was because the strength of the family was not enough, and they did not find a suitable place for a while.

"Although there are still some people in Wan'an County now, there are not enough servants to support the family, if the adults want to suppress the bandits-"

When Pang Zhixian was hesitating about how to solve this matter, Zhao Fusheng shook his head:

"Don't borrow domestic servants."

Her words made Pang Zhixian stunned:

"Don't borrow a domestic servant?"

"In the past few decades, the servants of the major wealthy families in Wan'an County have fought against these bandits?"

Zhao Fusheng laughed and asked Pang Zhixian.

Her words stumped Pang Zhixian.

"I, I, don't hide it, I haven't been in Wan'an County long enough, and I really haven't seen it with my own eyes-" Pang Zhixian replied squeaked.

"—But in the past government records, there have been several times of siege."

"How many bandits have you killed?"

After Zhao Fusheng asked, he waved his hand again:

"Forget it, these records can't be counted."

The situation in Wan'an County is worse than she imagined, and these formalized records may not be reliable.

The number of bandits killed may be the resume of successive officials, so that they can be promoted and transferred away at the end of their term of office, but it is unknown whether these figures are true, or whether they are bandits, but whether they have killed good people and made meritorious deeds.

Zhao Fusheng frowned, endured the disgust in his heart, and said, "The disappearance of Guo Wei's family this time is a good opportunity-"

"......" Pang Zhixian didn't understand the meaning of her words, and was about to ask, but saw Kuai Manzhou, who was playing with his fingers on the side, suddenly turned his head:

"I'm going too."

This kid has been silent since he joined the Demon Suppression Division in Kuailiang Village's ghost case, and he often follows Zhao Fusheng like a little tail.

Pang Zhixian was afraid of her and afraid of her at the beginning, and later became accustomed to the shadow-like existence of the little girl, at this time, Leng might as well hear her speak, and he couldn't react for a while:

"Where are you going?"

Before he finished speaking, he listened to Zhao Fusheng say:

"I'm going to take a trip to Fengmen Village to see what this place is like." What she meant was:

"There was a ghost case 43 years ago, but the inheritance of the village was not severed, and I suffered from banditry-"

She smiled:

"I want to see if Guo Wei's family really fell into the hands of mountain bandits!"

After Zhao Fusheng said this, Pang Zhixian was stunned.

After a long time, he finally realized what Zhao Fusheng said, and then he was shocked:

"Your Excellency is going to Fengmen Village?"

"Not bad."

Zhao Fusheng made up his mind, and at this time, he suddenly felt much more comfortable in his heart.

She paced back and forth for two steps and sat back in her chair, picked up the already warm teacup and took a sip:

"I wanted to go to Fengmen Village for a long time, there was a ghost case, and when there was a ghost case in Kuailiang Village, Zhuang Siniang's sister-in-law was also from Fengmen Village."

Zhao Fusheng said this and glanced at the child.

After the ghost case in Kuailiang Village that day, she was entangled in ghost dreams and had a 'dialogue' with several daughters-in-law of the Kuai family.

If in the ghost dream, the remnants of these ghosts' memories are true, then the daughters-in-law of the Kuai family took great care of Kuai Manzhou when they were alive.

And the eldest lady was born in the closed village, and at this time, Kuai Manzhou heard that the eldest aunt's maiden family had an accident, and it was reasonable for him to want to go along.

The situation of the little girl controlling the ghost is special, after the death of Zhuang Siniang and the people of Kuailiang Village, Kuai Manzhou as a ghost master is not as affected by the ghost as other ghost masters.

But just because she's not out of control doesn't mean there's no danger.

Zhao Fusheng has always restrained her by his side and secretly observed her.

At this time, she was willing to follow her to Fengmen Village, and Zhao Fusheng had no reason to refuse.

The decision was made quickly, and Pang Zhixian hadn't reacted yet, and the two had already discussed it.

"But my lord, this, such a trivial matter, how can an adult take action?"

Pang Zhi County was a little overwhelmed:

"It's just a bandit, the disappearance of Guo Wei's family may not be related to the bandits, why bother the adults to go in person?"

"It's up to us to do what works best."

Zhao Fusheng smiled faintly, and the murderous intent in his eyes was revealed.

"We don't have the money to hire Shangzhou soldiers, and the poor also have the poor man's bandit law-" After she finished speaking, she looked at Kuai Manzhou and smiled:

"Did you say Manzhou?"

"Hmm!"

The little girl nodded vigorously.

Pang Zhixian still wanted to speak, but Zhao Fusheng waved his hand:

"I've decided."

After the ghost case in Kuailiang Village was handled, Wan'an County was calm for nearly two months - Zhao Fusheng guessed that this temporary calm in the county should have a certain effect on the plaque of the Demon Suppression Division.

"Anyway, we will go for two or three days at the fastest, five or six days at the slowest, and we will be back soon."

Zhao Fusheng is not bragging.

She and Kuai Man both controlled the disaster-level ghosts, and the two ghost handlers joined forces, and she had merit in her body, but no matter how tricky the matter of the closed door village was, Zhao Fusheng was also confident that the incident would be solved soon.

"During this period of time, you can help me manage the government affairs in the county, and the affairs of the Demon Suppression Division are with Lao Zhang, and there will be no mistakes for the time being."

Zhang Chuanshi has mastered the big murderous thing, and he still has the brand of Zhao Fusheng on his back, as long as there is no big ghost case in the county, with the power in Zhang Chuanshi's hands now, he can suppress the general strange incident.

What she cares about is the existence of paper figures.

This man is unpredictable and behaves strangely—

Thinking of this, she told Pang Zhixian again:

"When the time comes, if there is something you can't get into, you go to the Confucius Temple and ask Liu Yizhen to take action."

Liu Yizhen also has the ability to deal with powerful ghosts, he is also a member of the Demon Suppression Division, if something big happens during the period, he should also be able to help.

She explained so meticulously, even though Pang Zhixian still wanted to persuade her in his heart, he also knew that what she decided could not be changed, so he nodded nervously.

"Without further ado, you go to Fan Bi Die now to pack for me, and I will leave right away with Man Zhou."

Pang Zhixian nodded stubbornly.

"My lord," he didn't dare to delay, and was about to go to Fan Bi to die immediately, but before he left the door, he seemed to remember something:

"It's better to let the government arrange two people to go all the way with adults."

He was afraid that Zhao Fusheng would refuse, so he hurriedly said:

"One is the person who reported the news for Guo Wei in Fengmen Village, and he is also the messenger of that village and town, and the other is the errand who has been in charge of traveling between the two places recently, and he is familiar with the road."

Zhao Fusheng once said that the Demon Suppression Division tries not to involve innocent miscellaneous servants in handling cases, and the use of manpower is mainly based on envoys.

But she decided not to go to Fengmen Village for the ghost case, but to suppress the local bandits, this matter is related to the county government, so after Pang Zhixian finished speaking, Zhao Fusheng did not refuse, but just nodded.

Pang Zhixian breathed a sigh of relief and went out.

Not long after, he found Fan Bisheng, who was dealing with the miscellaneous affairs of the government at this time, and told him Zhao Fusheng's explanation.

Zhao Fusheng originally thought that Fan Bisheng would come to find him first, but he didn't expect Wu Shaochun to take the lead.

"Pang Zhixian said that the adults are going to Fengmen Village?"

He entered the side hall and saluted first, and then asked directly about his intentions.

"Yes." Zhao Fusheng nodded.

She saw that Wu Shaochun was a little anxious, and vaguely guessed in her heart that he came in to see her, so she couldn't help but get straight to the point:

"You want to go too?"

"Yes, sir."

Wu Shaochun saw that her thoughts were broken by her, so she simply admitted:

"I've also been to Fengmen Village, and I'm familiar with the area around there, so I can guide the way for adults." He said:

"I want to go with adults and handle more cases—"

"Since you came here, Pang Zhi County should have told you that although there was a ghost case in Fengmen Village 43 years ago, I went over this time, but I did it temporarily, not for the ghost case." Zhao Fusheng replied.

Wu Shaochun is very insistent:

"Pang Zhixian said, the adults are going for the bandits, I have a care with the adults, I will help if I can, and if I can't help, I will hide by myself, and I will never cause trouble to the adults."

Anyway, Zhao Fusheng went to Fengmen Village this time to prepare to rely on the power of the ghost to solve the trouble simply, directly and roughly, with her and Kuai Manzhou, it would be difficult for Wu Shaochun to cause trouble.

She nodded:

"Since that's the case, then you go clean up and get in the car together later."

When Wu Shaochun saw her respond, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and patted his chest:

"I don't have anything to prepare, I can just go."

Zhao Fusheng is not as free and easy as him, she still has something to do.

In addition to being the birthplace of Kuai's daughter-in-law, Fengmen Village also attracted her attention by having close contacts with people in Huanggang Village, and Pang Zhixian's words also made her listen to her heart.

43 years ago, there was a ghost case in Fengmen Village.

She sent Wu Shaochun to wait in front of the door, and she got up and went to the place where the Demon Suppression Division had put the files and archives on hold.

There were originally handymen in the wing room who were sprinkling and sweeping, but when they saw her and Kuai Manzhou coming in, the handymen hurriedly lowered their heads and packed up the buckets and rags and quickly retreated, leaving the two of them in the wing.

Since Zhao Fusheng was reborn, most of his time in the Demon Suppression Division has been spent in this archive.

She often flipped through the files, enriching her knowledge of ghosts and the world from the ghost cases recorded by the directors of the Lingsi in the past, and striving to gain more vitality in the process of handling ghost cases in the future.

Fan Bi is accustomed to observing words and feelings, so the archives of the Demon Suppression Division were the first to be renovated and organized.

After half a year, the archives at this time are completely different from when Zhao Fusheng first stepped in.

The wings have been more than half enlarged, and the bookshelves have all been replaced.

In front of each row of shelves, the files are placed according to the year and month of the Han Dynasty.

"43 years ago—"

Zhao Fusheng muttered to himself, bypassed several rows of files, and quickly found the shelf marked with "Dahan 203 Annals".

There were not many ghost cases that occurred this year, and there were only three files.

She made up her mind, casually pulled down a dossier, and held it in her hand.

"Fusheng, did something happen 43 years ago?"

The child's voice came from mid-air.

Zhao Fusheng did not look up.
