Chapter 226: Providing Clues

Chapter 226

Old man Zhang is not young, and he has experienced the red shoe ghost case of the year, but in the final analysis, although the 50-year-old people in Fengmen Village are rare, they are not nothing.

If he lies, the consequences will be severe.

With this old man's character who regards money as his life, he will never dare to tell lies.

"A pair of red shoes-" Zhao Fusheng pondered for a moment:

"43 years ago, when the file of the Demon Suppression Division recorded that Qi Daniu's family was killed, it was a ghost shoe, and if the deceased was already wearing two shoes when the 'ghost funeral' was held later, it proved that this powerful ghost had been promoted."

"Red embroidered shoes, ten-inch feet, women-"

Everyone didn't dare to speak out, and Zhao Fusheng straightened out his thoughts in his mind:

"The red shoe ghost did not appear, the victim first appeared on his left foot with red shoes, and afterwards his whole body was corrupted and died, and after the murder was promoted, he appeared again and became wearing two shoes."

In other words, it is possible that the ghost is advancing to the rank by killing, and then piecing together the ghost body.

This speculation is so bizarre that just thinking about it is very crazy.

At that time, Xie Jingsheng didn't know which level the powerful ghost was in the driver's hand, and he was a little embarrassed to deal with the powerful ghost who only showed a red shoe, although the final result was thrilling, but this ghost was very likely to be incomplete.

And Xie Jingsheng was able to stay safely in Wan'an County for a long time, and finally completed the ghost case and was successfully transferred back to Beijing, which shows that this person is capable - it is very likely that the powerful ghost he commanded has exceeded the evil level, and it should be at the level above the disaster level.

With the grade of Xie Jingsheng's control of the ghost, it can be deduced that the grade of this red-shoeed ghost in Fengmen Village back then was about the level below the disaster level, and the level around the evil level.

This powerful ghost is fast and invisible, relying on the killing condensation entity, Xie Jingsheng was able to catch this ghost back then, purely because his ghost control power happened to restrain such invisible ghosts.

Zhao Fusheng couldn't help but think: If this red-shoeed ghost recovers again and pieces the ghost body together, how serious will it be at that time?

When she thought of this, her heart sank.

There are rewards and punishments on the god list, and once a ghost case causes a large-scale death of people, a large amount of merit points will be deducted from the god list.

But it's good that she has merit deducted, but if the merit is deducted, what punishment should she be punished at that time?

Zhao Fusheng took a deep breath and asked Old Man Zhang again:

"Zhang Laosan, let me ask you, since you personally participated in the 'ghost funeral' back then, do you still remember the location of the ghost in the grave?"

When she asked, her eyes were firmly fixed on Old Man Zhang.

“……”

Old man Zhang's complexion changed, and large strands of cold sweat began to appear on his forehead, his eyes wandered, and he didn't dare to look at Zhao Fusheng's eyes.

His performance says a lot.

This man has a shrewd and mean temperament, loves to watch and cannot get along with people, has an odd temper, but has an amazing memory.

He still remembered Xie Jingsheng's surname, and he must remember the 'ghost funeral' that almost killed him.

Zhao Fusheng's heart fell to the ground.

This trip to Fengmen Village was worth the trip, which not only solved the problem of the revival of Guo Wei's ghost, but also successfully controlled the ghost by Wu Shaochun, and found out from Guo Wei's mean neighbor the place where the ghost was finally buried.

"My lord, I'm old and mediocre, and my energy is not as good as before-"

Old man Zhang squeaked and was about to shirk it, but Zhao Fusheng said:

"Zhang Laosan, what you said is very useful to me, the Red Shoe ghost case 43 years ago has provided important clues, after Kong Youde comes tomorrow, I will instruct him to exempt all the taxes of your Zhang family's Demon Suppression Division next spring."

"Three months?!"

Old man Zhang originally wanted to vaguely understand the question of the final location of the 'ghost funeral', but he heard Zhao Fusheng say that he would exempt his family from paying taxes for three months.

This one was so happy that he was dizzy, and he shook it twice, holding the ground with one hand:

"My lord, is it really exempt from my family's spring demon suppression tax? The whole family? ”

"Yes."

Zhao Fusheng nodded with a smile and looked at Cao Dazong and the others:

"With Lin Laoba and Cao Dazong as guarantees, I will speak my word, and your Zhang family's taxes will not be collected in the spring of next year, so as to reward your merits."

Old man Zhang's eyes suddenly showed a bright light, and Zhao Fusheng changed his words:

"But it's a pity that you can't remember which tomb the ghost entered back then, if you remember, it's a great credit."

After she finished speaking, she slapped her thigh:

"I don't remember it, you also said that there were several survivors of the 'ghost funeral' in Fengmen Village, and all of these people have passed away, and there are always descendants, maybe there will be some clues-"

"My lord, my lord, I suddenly remembered something again."

When Old Man Zhang heard this, he immediately became anxious.

He is typical of not seeing others well.

Zhao Fusheng has reduced the tax of the Demon Suppression Division for him for three months, this is only for him, the jealous eyes of Lin Laoba and the others made him flutter, but Zhao Fusheng's words after that made him panic.

He didn't know the news, but if he knew, the benefits would still fall into the hands of others, and he would think about it for the rest of his life, and he had to get up in the middle of the night to slap himself twice.

"Remembered?"

Zhao Fusheng raised his eyebrows and glared at him:

"Do you really remember? Isn't it old and mediocre, and your energy is not as good as before? ”

"I think about it, I really think about it, my lord, don't hide it from my adults, I can eat and sleep, my body is good for one and two, and my grandson runs around the yard three times without panting, don't believe me to call the adults."

After speaking, Old Man Zhang got up and shouted loudly:

"Wealth, wealth—"

"Alright, don't go crazy."

Zhao Fusheng originally provoked him with words, but when he saw him in the trap, he pretended to be careless:

"You third child, you really have two brushes."

Old man Zhang has a bad reputation in Fengmen Village.

This person is stingy and stingy, slamming the door, loves to take advantage of small advantages, and relies on the fact that there are three strong sons at home, and he bullies the villagers a lot.

He is old, and he is open-minded, he scolds people and is dirty, and he doesn't like to be clean, and the villagers hide when they see him, and few people say that he is good behind his back.

At this time, he was praised by Zhao Fusheng, and he was suddenly fluttering, feeling that this county adult was generous and spoke well.

"That's, that's." He was flattered, but even more carried away:

"But the adults are even more powerful—"

Zhao Fusheng remained silent:

"You have a good memory, you've seen a lot of big scenes, and you're well-informed—"

Every time she said a word, Old Man Zhang nodded his head, heard the last sentence, patted his chest and said:

"My lord is right, there is nothing in the closed door village that I don't know."

As soon as Old Man Zhang's words fell, he immediately aroused the disgusted eyes of Lin Laoba and others.

He does like voyeurism.

The east family and the west family are short, there is no one who does not watch the excitement, and he has to pick up the crack in the door to see the children in other people's homes, and listen to the excitement - the people in the village have long been disgusted with him.

"Do you know where the red shoes come from?" Zhao Fusheng asked with a smile.

"......" Old Man Zhang's expression froze.

"After all, the revival of powerful ghosts comes from man-made disasters, people die and turn into ghosts, and it is impossible for the red-shoe ghost to appear in Fengmen Village out of thin air."

When she saw Old Man Zhang's expression, her heart moved, and she continued:

"In my experience, there are two reasons why the village is haunted."

"What are the two reasons?"

When Lin Laoba heard this, he couldn't help but ask a little nervously.

According to the meaning of Zhao Fusheng's words, Fengmen Village has been haunted twice, and it is difficult to guarantee that there will be three times in the future.

"Either the ghost died in the village before his death, or someone in the village touched the law of killing the ghost and was marked by the ghost."

When Zhao Fusheng said this, he looked at Old Man Zhang:

"Before the ghost case broke out 43 years ago, did anyone in Fengmen Village have killed a young bride? Or have you ever had something to do with red shoes? ”

Old man Zhang hesitated.

If he shook his head blankly, Zhao Fusheng would not continue to ask.

But when he showed such a look at this time, Zhao Fusheng's heart perked up, and he knew that he had found the right person.

"If you can provide clues, it will naturally be a great merit, and then take me to find the place where Xie Jingsheng finally fell into the grave of the 'ghost funeral' back then, then you will be considered a great merit, and your Zhang family's taxes will be reduced and exempted for half a year next year."

"Half a year?!"

At this time, not only Lin Laoba and others from Fengmen Village were moved, but even Cao Dazong was a little breathless:

"I also have an old elder in my family, who is my clan uncle, who is over seventy this year, and is my father's cousin.

Old man Zhang, who was still a little hesitant, suddenly became anxious when he heard this:

"Fourth Master, how are you-"

He didn't have time to stop Cao Dazong, and looked at Zhao Fusheng again:

"My lord, when it comes to this red shoe, I do remember something, but I don't know if there is a connection in the middle, so I hesitate."

"Just say it, as long as you provide clues, I will check if there is any connection in the future." Zhao Fusheng said.

"Yes, sir."

Old man Zhang nodded and said:

"Actually, actually, this matter-" He showed a somewhat embarrassed look on his face, and glanced at Lin Laoba and the others with a dodgy look.

At this moment, Old Man Zhang's wife led her daughter-in-law to bring out a large pot of corn soup, the bowl was steaming, and several children who followed the adults were so hungry that they swallowed their saliva.

As soon as Old Man Zhang saw these women appear, he showed a look of relief and a faint regret.

"My lord, why don't you—"

Cao Dazong saw that the food was coming, and wanted to persuade Zhao Fusheng to eat his stomach first.

But now, where is Zhao Fusheng willing to give up, she waved her hand and motioned for Old Man Zhang to continue.

The villagers were originally paying attention to the ghost incident, but at this time, they smelled the aroma of the food and swallowed their saliva greedily.

Although Cao Dazong was also greedy, he could distinguish the priorities of the matter, and when he saw that everyone's eyes were staring at the rice bowl, he motioned to the servants to drive people away.

"Go, go, go."

A few of the children who were around were also driven away by the servants.

Although the other villagers were hungry and greedy, they knew that Zhao Fusheng and his party were there, and it was impossible for everyone to beg for food at Old Man Zhang's house, so they simply stood outside.

As soon as most of the people left, there were suddenly fewer people left in the hall, and Old Man Zhang breathed a sigh of relief, smelled the aroma of the food, swallowed his saliva and said:

"43 years ago, in fact, something happened to Xu Lezi's family."

"Xu Lezi?" Zhao Fusheng kept this name in his heart.

She turned her head to look at Lin Laoba, who was left in the house.

When this middle-aged man heard the words 'Xu Lezi', he had a blank look on his face - obviously he didn't know who Xu Laizi was.

Since it involves the past events of 43 years ago, maybe 'Xu Laizi' is dead, maybe he was the victim of the ghost disaster back then.

Zhao Fusheng turned his gaze to the old man's mother-in-law, only to see that the old woman was uneasily pulling the hem of her clothes and wiping her rough hands.

After Old Man Zhang mentioned 'Xu Lezi', he lowered his head and said after a while:

"Fengmen Village, Fengmen Village probably doesn't remember Xu Lezi anymore."

"Their family was a victim of the Red Shoe ghost case?" Zhao Fusheng asked.

Old man Zhang nodded:

"Their house is gone."

Speaking of which, this old man, who was faceless and skinless, showed a rare melancholy expression on his face.

He stared at the ground in a daze, not knowing what he was thinking.

Zhao Fusheng ignored him and turned his head to look at Mrs. Zhang:

"Who is this leper and what does it have to do with your old man?"

"Hui, Hui, Lord Hui, this Xu Leper-" Mrs. Zhang was asked by Zhao Fusheng, and suddenly became a little nervous, tightened her clothes, and said:

"Actually, in fact, our two families are related, when my mother-in-law was alive, she and this Xu Laizi's mother were cousins of a grandmother, and they both married in Fengmen Village one after another."

"I'll tell you."

Old man Zhang had already sorted out his mind at this time, and interrupted his old wife:

"Xu Lezi was not originally a leper, his name is Xu Jin, this name was given when his grandfather was still alive, and he said that he would have a great future in the future-"

It's a pity that Xu Lezi has nothing to offer.

When he was young, he was naughty and had a head injury, and a large piece of flesh was shoveled off by a belt hair, resulting in most of his head being hairless.

Over time, the villagers did not remember his name, and only called him 'Xu Lezi'.

"We grew up together, he's two years younger than me, and if he's still alive, he'd be fifty-fifty in his sixties this year."

"What does the Red Shoes ghost case have to do with Xu Jin?" Zhao Fusheng asked.

"Xu Jin?"

Old man Zhang raised his head suddenly, muttered and said, and suddenly his eyes turned red:

"Listen to me, sir."

His expression suddenly became serious:

"The reason why I want to start with my old watch is for a reason." He sniffed:

"My old cousin was injured when he was young, and he lost a piece of scalp on his head, and it was not easy to say kiss when he became an adult, and others began to say kiss at eighteen or nineteen, and he finally completed his life event at twenty-one or two."

"Married at twenty-two? He is two years younger than you, isn't that the year he got married, which was the time when the Red Shoes ghost case in Fengmen Village happened? ”

Wu Shaochun endured it for a while, and finally asked in a voice.

Old man Zhang didn't answer, but said again:

"The mother-in-law he married is from Huanggang Village, surnamed Wu, the family is very poor, and his father and brother are incompetent, but he has a brother of the same clan who is very powerful, and he is a famous leader in Huanggang Village."

"This Wu family is only half a year younger than my old cousin, and the reason why she has not married at such an old age is because she is ugly and has not been cared for.
