Chapter 228: Ready to Go

Chapter 228

"She caused the ghost case and caused the death of the family, but don't forget, the culprit of this ghost case is not her, and the ghost is not revived because of her!"

Zhao Fusheng's voice sounded in the lobby.

The villagers of Fengmen Village did not dare to speak out when they heard her words.

"Wu Laocai forcibly married a girl by illegal means, forced an innocent woman to death, and led to the revival of the ghost, he is the creator of the crime, you don't curse the murderer, but blame the victim, what is the reason?!"

Old man Zhang showed a stubborn look and refused to listen to her.

The unhappiness in Zhao Fusheng's heart quickly disappeared.

She smiled and didn't argue with him any further.

Some people's concepts are influenced by the general environment, and they have long formed a set of self-perceptions, and they cannot be reversed by relying on the words of others.

Old man Zhang's situation is even more complicated.

He can't accept that there are ghosts in the world, and they kill people indiscriminately - ghosts don't show mercy because they are related to him by blood, and they don't open their minds because they are good people.

The more we recognize this way, the more we will be afraid.

And after fear, people cannot accept such a cruel reality, so they can only escape from the facts.

They do not dare to think about it, to think deeply, to admit the dangers of the world, so they try to find reasons to blame the person who caused the disaster, so as to vent their inner fears.

Wu Laocai of Huanggang Village is powerful and powerful, and he has an inexplicable relationship with bandits who kill people like hemp, and no one dares to provoke such a big villain;

In contrast, the Wu family is ugly and fierce, and she dares to beat her husband, and she is greedy for stealing shoes, killing the Xu family, naturally she is guilty.

This is truly a deformed world.

Zhao Fusheng sneered.

She was too lazy to bother with someone like Old Man Zhang, so she said directly:

"Okay, Zhang Laosan, you provided useful clues."

As she said this, she turned her head to look at the courtyard outside, and now it was already dark, and she keenly heard the noisy footsteps in the distance, as if a group of people were hurrying in this direction.

The people of the town of Long Strip are coming.

Zhao Fusheng said in his heart.

"Kong Youde should be coming soon, let's eat quickly, and as soon as he arrives, he will immediately go to the mountains behind him to find the old grave where the Red Shoe ghost case was finally buried."

After she finished speaking, the old man Zhang, who had stubbornly resisted her two words before, was visibly relieved.

He was angry for a while, remembering the past of the year, guilt, regret, disgust and blame for the Wu family, and fear of the ghosts all came to his heart, and he didn't know whether he was alive or dead.

Old man Zhang was afraid that Zhao Fusheng would settle accounts after the autumn, so he wanted to clean him up about this matter, and when he saw that Zhao Fusheng no longer mentioned this matter, his heart was relieved, and he was afraid, he nodded and agreed:

"I'll lead the way when the adults finish eating, and I'm sure to bring them over."

He couldn't show more loyalty at this time, so he hurriedly shouted for his wife and daughters-in-law to help serve the vegetable soup.

There was only one pot of food soup, and there was not even salt in it, but everyone was so hungry that everyone swallowed their saliva.

However, the portion was limited, and only the three people who handled the case were given priority to eat first, and the remaining small bowl was given to Cao Dazong, who had not entered after a day's journey.

It was a surprise for him.

Although he was also an errand officer of the town's government office, he lived a tight life and was not wealthy, so he hid to the side with a bowl at this time.

The wild vegetables at this time were a little bitter, and the corn was a little broken, but mixed with the old man's painful and smiling face, Zhao Fusheng still ate delicious food from this bowl of vegetable soup.

As soon as she finished eating, before the bowl was placed, footsteps were heard outside.

Lin Laoba and the others, who were so hungry that they swallowed their saliva, looked out, and an errand shouted:

"Fourth Master, Master Kong is here!"

The servants and the villagers all went up to greet them, and a few of them came in with a thin old man with muddy feet.

The old man, who was about sixty years old, was so anxious that his lips were dry and he had goat's whiskers, and his eyes swept over a group of villagers and servants, and then he asked:

"What about my lordship? What about the adults of the Demon Suppression Division? Where is it? ”

"Your Excellency is in the house."

Cao Dazong, who was licking the bowl, hurriedly wiped his mouth, put the bowl aside, and shouted loudly:

"Master Kong, Lord Zhao is here, waiting for you to come."

Zhao Fusheng put the bowl down slowly.

Several children of the Zhang family stared at the bowl like wolves, with salivation on their faces.

She put her hand in her pocket and subconsciously wanted to touch the fish, but only touched a string of five copper coins.

Zhao Fusheng has someone to take care of his schedule when he goes out on weekdays, and he has no habit of bringing money with him.

Kong Youde entered the courtyard, heard Cao Dazong's words, shook off the left and right and strode into the house, he turned his head and looked around, when he saw Zhao Fusheng, his eyes lit up, and he stepped forward and saluted:

"My lord—"

Zhao Fusheng has been in control of the Demon Suppression Division for several months, and Pang Zhi County informed the people in each town of the news of the new change of the Demon Suppression Division when collecting taxes from villages and towns this year.

He knew that the current head of the Wan'an County Town Demon Division was a young girl, but the moment he saw Zhao Fusheng, he was still shocked by Zhao Fusheng's age.

Her face was still a little immature, but her eyes had a calmness that did not match her age.

Kong Youde only made slight contact with her gaze, and then subconsciously avoided it.

"You came just in time, do you have any money?"

Zhao Fusheng beckoned to him and asked.

"Money?"

Kong Youde did not hesitate, with a flattering smile on his face:

"Rich, rich, the town has prepared a 'tea fee' for adults, and before I left the town, I also ordered the people in the town to kill pigs and chickens to prepare drinks and entertain adults, but this Fengmen Village is located in a remote area, and the money is not easy to bring, so when I return to the town——"

This Kong Youde is also an old fritter.

According to his past experience, it is normal for the Demon Suppression Commander to collect money, but there are a few who don't want money.

It's better to ask for money like Zhao Fusheng straight to the point than to figure out the bottom of these adults, anyway, as soon as the money is sent out, the tax items will be added in the future, and the people in the villages and towns will find a way to recover it.

"Don't talk nonsense, I only need ten dollars."

Zhao Fusheng interrupted Kong Youde's words and stretched out his hand to him.

"Ten, ten?"

Kong Youde was stunned for a moment, and he even plucked out his ears out of shape: "Do you want ten taels of gold?" ”

He turned his head to look at Cao Dazong as he spoke, and Cao Dazong was also at a loss, wondering if he had heard it wrong.

"My lord wants ten cents, do you have one?"

Wu Shaochun shook his head and asked.

He vaguely understood Zhao Fusheng's intentions, and touched his body when he spoke, but unfortunately he didn't find the money.

If it was an ordinary errand servant, it would be difficult to find Shiwen on his body, but as the mayor of Changtiao Town, Kong Youde still found a money bag on his body.

But because the number was too small, he hesitated to hand it out:

"My lord—"

"Bring it."

Zhao Fusheng took the money bag, pulled the rope at the mouth of the bag, grabbed a bunch of copper plates from it several times, counted ten wen, and then beckoned to the old man:

"Come here."

Old man Zhang didn't know what to do, and crawled forward on his knees.

"Spread your hands out." Zhao Fusheng gave a password, and Old Man Zhang made a move, and she put the Shiwen in her hand on his palm.

"It's-"

This scene made everyone confused, Zhao Fusheng put away the money bag and threw it back in the direction of Kong Youde:

"These ten cents are for corn porridge, and after the matter of Fengmen Village is over, Kong Youde can ask the Demon Suppression Division for these ten cents, and say that it is what I mean."

“……”

Everyone was stunned and looked stunned.

Kong Youde was also stunned, not understanding which play this was singing.

When will the Demon Suppression Division have to pay for eating some wild vegetable porridge? Not letting this family take eggs and stir-fry vegetables is already a great favor.

Everyone couldn't react for a while, and Old Man Zhang also maintained the movement of raising his hands, and his body kept shaking.

"Okay, since everyone is here, I want to set off immediately to find the old grave of Xie Jingsheng's sealed ghost 43 years ago."

Zhao Fusheng stood up:

"The Guo family's ghost case has been settled, and the other villagers can go home on their own, but before leaving, I have a word to remind everyone——"

When she said this, her eyes swept over the stunned old man Zhang and his family, Cao Dazong, Kong Youde, Lin Laoba and others one by one:

"After dealing with the Red Shoe ghost case, I will immediately go into the mountains to search for bandits in nearby mountain villages."

Zhao Fusheng showed a meaningful smile on his face and said:

"If you have a channel, notify in advance, if there is a traitor in the past, you will not be blamed for the past, but if you are still obsessed with the news after learning the news, you will not regret taking the medicine at that time."

She was greeting Lin Laoba, Old Man Zhang and others in advance.

The villagers who heard her words were shocked.

Old man Zhang's blood coagulated instantly, and when he was a little uneasy, Zhao Fusheng looked down at him and asked:

"Zhang Laosan, you are old, did you hear clearly?"

"Listen, hear clearly." Old man Zhang replied worriedly.

"Now that you've heard clearly, let's go."

She waved her hand and began to roll call:

"Kong Youde, as the head of a town, Fengmen Village belongs to you, and you will go with you on this case."

Cao Dazong was old, and he traveled a long distance yesterday and stayed up all night, Zhao Fusheng left him in the village to rest and recuperate, for fear that this old servant would die suddenly due to overwork.

Among the villagers, she only brought Lin Laoba and the other five young, strong and courageous, this was to get closer to the villagers' favorability and prepare for the later recruitment of miscellaneous servants.

……

After the order, someone suddenly asked:

"What should Guo Shorty do?"

It was a villager who spoke.

After coming out of the Guo family, he has been supporting Guo Wei, and at this time, Zhao Fusheng arranged everyone's whereabouts, but did not mention the only survivor of the Guo family's ghost case.

The current situation of the Guo family, after his father's death, the ghosts were revived, and the bones of his wife and children were not cold, although Zhao Fusheng had cleared the ghost disaster, but who would dare to go to the Guo family again at this time?

As soon as the old man Zhang, who was originally stunned, heard the words 'Guo Shorty', he shivered excitedly, and quietly grabbed the money given by Zhao Fusheng, and thought that he lived next to the Guo family, who had once appeared a powerful ghost, and suddenly felt anxious.

"It's-"

Zhao Fusheng frowned.

Wu Shaochun was a little sympathetic.

He subdued the ghost in the ghost case of the Guo family, and the ghost was Guo Wei's father before his death, he felt the life of the ghost, and had empathized with its joy, anger, love and hate, and had a special emotion for Guo Wei - Wu Shaochun looked at Guo Wei as if he was looking at his son.

"My lord, he is alone now, and his family is so poor that he can't afford to eat—"

Wu Shaochun helped intercede.

"Yes, pitiful, pitiful."

Zhao Fusheng nodded and sighed.

"Is there anyone in the village who wants to help him?"

Zhao Fusheng asked.

Lin Laoba and the others dodged their eyes and avoided her gaze one after another, fearing that a short eye contact with her would be pulled out by her to 'alleviate poverty'.

Everyone has had a hard time these days, even the landlord's family has no surplus food, and he can't afford to support such a wasted person.

"It's December now, and Guo's fields haven't been completed, so they won't be able to sow seedlings and plant rice beams until next year."

Wu Shaochun reminded without a trace.

"Looks like no one wants to help him anymore." Zhao Fusheng saw that everyone was silent, so he said a word.

Guo Wei, who was already depressed, couldn't help but sobbed quietly when he heard this, and Wu Shaochun frowned at this cowardly appearance.

"Did anyone lend him food?"

Zhao Fusheng asked again.

Still no one dared to say anything.

When Kong Youde of Changtiao Town heard this, he always felt a little embarrassed that no one had answered the words of this Demon Suppression Division, and he was about to pat himself on the back, but before he could speak, Zhao Fusheng turned his head to look at him, with a warning in his eyes.

Kong Youde is also a human spirit, and this glance suddenly glared back at the words that came to his mouth.

"Since no one is willing to help him, and no one is willing to lend Guo Wei food, I have a way-"

Zhao Fusheng smiled and leaned over to look at Guo Wei, who was sitting on the ground:

"Guo Wei, something happened to your family, do you still have any money in your hands now?"

"No, no, my lord, pay off the debt, Li, Li Da Luozi robbed the rest of the money again-I, what am I still alive for, just die-"

Guo Wei came from it and cried so much that he couldn't cry.

"That's right."

Zhao Fusheng shook his head and sighed:

"You see that your popularity in the village is not very good, people are not willing to help you, and they are not willing to lend you food, I think you are pitiful, it is better for you to go back to the county with me later, and help do some chores in the Demon Suppression Division, and you are always indispensable for two meals a day on weekdays."

Guo Wei originally thought that he was desperate and had already died in his heart, but when he heard Zhao Fusheng's words, he suddenly had hope and wailed:

"Thank you, sir, thank you for your life-"

Wu Shaochun's face also showed a look of relief, and he smiled a little embarrassedly:

"Thank you, sir."

The old man Zhang, who was worried that Guo Wei, the 'bane', was still at home and had an adverse impact on the Zhang family, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he heard this.

He was flexible, stingy and greedy, and when he heard that Guo Wei was going to enter the county, he couldn't help but start thinking about how to occupy this piece of residential land of the Guo family after he left.

……

After Zhao Fusheng quickly dealt with these miscellaneous things, he said to Old Man Zhang:

"You see if you have any preparations, we will leave in half an hour."
