Chapter 110
Everyone's eyes were all on Zhao Fusheng. When they saw her eyebrows relaxed, everyone unconsciously breathed a sigh of relief and looked nervous.
"I gonna go see."
Zhao Fusheng quickly walked down the stairs. When her eyes fell on the crowd, she saw an old man with a cane.
"Xu Yachen?"
At first she thought she had been deceived and shouted.
Unexpectedly, when the old man heard her shouting, he quickly stepped forward:
"I'm here."
"Why are you here?" Zhao Fusheng asked a little strangely.
While speaking, her eyes fell on Zheng He.
Last night, Zheng He asked Erfan to plead for mercy, hoping to save the lives of these squires and wealthy businessmen. He clearly agreed to lure ghosts tonight and use other members of the family as representatives.
Xu Yachen is so rich, how come he appears here in person?
Although she didn't say it explicitly, Xu Yachen was a mature man. Seeing her expression, he guessed what she was thinking. He quickly stepped forward and said with a smile:
"I once received a letter from Brother Yu. The letter said that Mr. Zhao is very brave. He is the commander-in-chief of Wan'an County once in ten years. He is very good at handling ghost cases."
He praised Zhao Fusheng:
"I have always regretted that I did not have the opportunity to see it with my own eyes. Now the opportunity is right in front of me. I can see Master Zhao handling ghost cases in person. This opportunity is once in a lifetime. How can I miss such a grand event?"
"..." Zheng He glanced at the old man with a strange expression and said nothing.
In fact, he was old. Even if he survived this evil disaster by luck, he might not be able to live long.
Zhao Fusheng had made a promise before and asked the squire of Wan'an County to write him a letter asking him to move to Wan'an County. If he did not go, he would not be allowed to go to Wan'an County in the future.
Xu Yachen probably didn't take the words in the letter seriously at that time, until Zhao Fusheng was able to break free and go to Baozhi County to handle the case. The old man was shrewd and realized how extraordinary Zhao Fusheng was, so he took the risk to show up tonight.
First, he saw through the strangeness of this ghost case. He was already marked by the evil ghost. If the evil ghosts of the Zhao couple could not be decomposed or sealed and controlled by others, the Xu family would sooner or later die at the hands of the two ghosts.
Secondly, he also wanted to take the opportunity to see what Zhao Fusheng was capable of.
If she can drive away the evil spirits, it proves that she is indeed capable.
At that time, the Xu family can temporarily move into Wan'an County. If she can drive away the evil spirits once, she should be able to drive them away a second time.
At least until Zhao Fusheng's ghost recovers, the Xu family can temporarily be protected by her and wait for the imperial court to send a general.
Xu Yachen is old, but her heart is not confused.
Zhao Fusheng may not be clear about his inner plan, but his own actions in coming will definitely win the favor of the Wan'an County Magistrate.
Sure enough, as soon as Zhao Fusheng heard what Xu Yachen said, he smiled and told Zheng He:
"Later, find a room with a good view upstairs and let Mr. Xu watch upstairs. Try to have a higher floor so that he won't be disturbed by the ghosts."
"..."
When the others heard this, they immediately showed regret.
"Sir, I too..."
Xu Yachen breathed a sigh of relief involuntarily and quickly expressed his gratitude:
"Now that the case is over, my Xu family is willing to donate 10,000 yuan to Mr. Zhao."
"Okay!" Zhao Fusheng responded.
"Sir, I also donate money, can I enter the room?" someone shouted.
"I'll donate too."
"I'll donate a thousand——"
"I'll donate two thousand——"
"Five thousand taels of gold——"
In front of Zhao Fusheng and Zheng He, everyone started to shout out the price.
And under the shadow of Li Gui, the price became more and more outrageous.
There were at least two to three hundred people at the scene, shouting together from inside and outside, making the ancient house where a ghost was about to appear lively and lively, sweeping away the previous dejection.
"..."
The corners of Zheng He's mouth twitched, and his quick eyes and hands quickly pulled out one of them:
"How do you have the money to donate? How dare you open your mouth and shout randomly, what a treacherous person, you are standing in the front row tonight -"
"Master Zheng, please spare my life."
Zhao Fusheng ignored the farce and shouted at everyone to stay back.
The envoy from the Baozhi County Town Mosi Mansion saw the opportunity and stepped forward to push everyone away and forcefully clear a passage.
Zhao Fusheng left Ding'an Building surrounded by everyone. As soon as he came out, he saw that the outside of the ancient building had been cleaned up.
His own life was at stake, and Liu Rong, the steward of Ding'an Building, was considered reliable in his work. In one day, the landscaping courtyard walls were knocked down, and all the carefully planted bamboo forests, flowers and plants were cut down.
There is no obstruction in the entire garden from the ancient building to the gate. Except for some weeds and debris on the ground that have not been cleaned up, standing in Zhao Fusheng's position, he can directly see the gate hundreds of feet away.
At this moment, the Fan brothers came back outside the gate carrying a strange black coffin.
Zheng He was originally curious about what errand Zhao Fusheng sent the Fan brothers to do, but when he saw the black coffin, he suddenly trembled, with a look of horror on his face:
"grown ups--"
"Don't worry, there's no evil ghost inside."
Zhao Fusheng didn't need to look back, he could tell what Zheng He was thinking just by listening to his voice.
She responded casually and ordered:
"Hurry up and help carry the coffin over."
Zheng He was frightened when he saw the coffin, but after hearing what Zhao Fusheng said, he felt a little at ease.
Er Fan is not a ghost controller. The things they can encounter should really have nothing to do with ghosts - even if there is a corpse inside, it has a tendency to revive, at least it is still sleeping at this time.
However, as things progressed to this point, Zheng He felt more and more that Zhao Fusheng was riding a tiger and it was difficult to get off. He retreated in his heart and winked at the commander beside him, planning to find an excuse to escape later and leave the place where the trouble was.
After hearing the order, several envoys hesitated for a long time.
No one was willing to touch the strange black coffin at this time, but Zheng He was staring at everyone coldly from the side. His clothes had not yet been pulled up, and the terrifying dead head on his chest revealed half of his face covered with strange brown spots.
Zheng He's eyes were cold, and everyone was afraid wherever he went. He hurried forward and helped Er Fan lift the coffin and walk into the garden.
Liu Rong stood beside Zhao Fusheng, rubbing his hands frequently.
"Some people hid in Ding'an Building, and some people stood behind me."
Zhao Fusheng said again.
Zheng He wanted to run away, but was afraid that Zhao Fusheng would not agree, so he deliberately tried to please her:
"Mr. Zhao is handling cases for our Baozhi County. How can we let you stand in front of these unscrupulous people? Why not let them stand in the front row——"
Before he finished speaking, everyone who was left behind had a look of horror on their faces and backed away.
"unnecessary."
Zhao Fusheng shook his head.
The evil ghosts of the Zhao couple have killed many people since they revived, and now it has become a phenomenon.
Not to mention ordinary people, even Zheng He, who has commanded the evil-level ghosts, may not be able to stand in front of the two ghosts. Ordinary people standing in front will only increase casualties.
"Close the door."
As soon as Zhao Fusheng finished speaking, Zheng He shouted:
"close the door!"
As soon as he shouted, the guards guarding the door worked together to close the door and quickly bolted it.
"So move away, stay away from the door." As Zhao Fusheng spoke, the envoys carrying the black coffin had already arrived in front of her.
The coffin was very light. It didn't look like there was a body inside, but it looked like it was empty.
The envoys and garden servants were ordered to return to the building one by one.
Ding'an Building was crowded with people, and all the doors and windows upstairs were locked, but countless pairs of eyes stared at the garden below through the gaps in the doors and windows.
It was not yet dark, and the evil ghost had not arrived, but everyone knew what might happen next, and began to tremble silently.
"Gu Jiansheng, come here!"
Zheng He shouted, and Gu Jiansheng, whose face was bandaged, dragged heavy steps to Zheng He's side.
"Master Zhao, you are familiar with Gu Jiansheng and can handle him easily. I will leave him here. If you have anything to do in the future, just give him orders."
Seeing that everything was ready, Zheng He made up his mind to leave.
He pulled Gu Jiansheng as a shield and said:
"The evil spirit in me is about to revive, and I can't help you by staying here -"
"Want to leave?"
Zhao Fusheng turned to ask him.
Zheng He nodded.
"You go."
From beginning to end, Zhao Fusheng never thought of relying on others for help in this ghost case.
Zheng He's role was in the early preparations. Now everything is in place, just waiting for the evil ghost to take the bait.
She nodded happily and allowed Zheng He to leave, but Zheng He was stunned for a moment and stood there, not knowing how to react.
Zhao Fusheng ignored him and turned to Er Fan and Gu Jiansheng:
"Open the coffin and take out the contents!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Gu Jiansheng froze on the spot for a moment, but Fan Bisheng did not hesitate after hearing her words. He took out the hammer inserted in his waist and knocked on the coffin a few times.
"Gu Jiansheng, come here and help!" Fan Wujiu shouted quickly when he saw his elder brother taking action.
Seeing that Gu Jiansheng couldn't escape, he stepped forward and the three of them worked together to quickly pry open the coffin lid.
The moment the coffin lid was opened, a strong evil spirit escaped from the coffin.
One moment, the sunset has not yet set, and the next moment, as the yin energy is released, dark clouds are seen surging, blocking the afterglow of the sunset in the sky.
It got dark instantly!
"Oops!"
Zheng He didn't expect that he only hesitated for a moment, and an accident happened at this moment.
He has handled three ghost cases and has rich experience. As soon as he saw the dark clouds gathering, he knew something was wrong.
Black gas continued to escape from the coffin, causing those behind to gasp in shock and take a few steps back.
"Is there a ghost in the coffin?"
Someone shouted in fear.
As soon as the word 'ghost' was shouted out, the others were so frightened that they stepped back one after another.
"Ghost!"
When everyone's heartstrings are tense, when they hear the word "ghost", they push and push back.
The crowd pushed and trampled on them, and some old and frail people were pushed to the ground. They saw that the turmoil was about to break out——
Zhao Fusheng's eyes originally fell on the coffin, but when he heard the noise from behind, he became furious:
"Zheng He!"
She knew very well that sometimes man-made disasters could have consequences as terrible as those of ghosts killing people. Zheng He had not left yet, but seeing that he could no longer leave, she said sternly:
"Stop the chaotic crowd to avoid stampedes and casualties caused by panic."
Zheng He regretted it endlessly.
He didn't move, but looked around.
At some point, billowing gray fog appeared on the Shangjia River in the distance and around the garden.
The fog gradually thickened, and the shadow of death struck, scaring many of the officers on duty at the yamen and the envoys of the Demon Suppression Department.
"Is this, is, a ghost realm?"
Zheng He asked with his fists clenched and his face a little ugly.
"Um."
Zhao Fusheng nodded.
He was like a deflated rubber ball, and his shoulders instantly slumped.
Zheng He's cheeks twitched, and the brown spots on his face darkened visibly.
The ghost control commander of Baozhi County had a look of despair on his face:
"I can't leave?"
Zhao Fusheng sneered:
"You should know better than me what it means when this ghost realm is formed so quickly, right?"
Ghosts above the evil level can condense ghost realms.
The speed, size and number of people trapped in the ghost realm are all related to the grade of the ghost. Ding'an Tower is not a small place, but as soon as Fan Bisheng and the other three opened the coffin lid, the aura of the evil thing inside was released, almost It can be said that in an instant, black energy surged out overwhelmingly, blocking the last trace of afterglow on the horizon.
The evil ghost hasn't appeared yet, but judging from the sense of pressure before the ghost appeared, it seems that the Zhao couple have become very fierce after they revived.
It was only Zhao Fusheng's preliminary judgment that the two ghosts had reached the evil level respectively. The lethality achieved by the two ghosts combined into one must have at least reached the disaster level.
"After the ghost realm is formed, if you are not afraid of death, you can naturally run around."
"..."
Zheng He looked gloomy.
Zhao Fusheng shouted:
"If you don't hurry up and stabilize the crowd, why are you still dazed!"
"yes--"
Zheng He responded subconsciously.
Then he vented this unknown fire on the order and servants who were in a state of panic.
He clenched his fists, strode forward and punched an emissary on the back who was infected by the fear of the people and was running around.
The ghost controller has amazing powers.
With two punches, the tall and strong commander's body was like a kite with broken strings, flying several meters away in the air, and fell to the ground with a 'pop' sound, spitting out blood.
"..."
This sudden change immediately calmed the chaotic crowd.
"Why are you running?"
Zheng He opened his clothes and strode towards the crowd.
He swallowed his anger in front of Zhao Fusheng, but in front of these ordinary people and envoys, he was like a tiger rushing into the flock of sheep.
Like a boiling oil pan being instantly cooled.
Wherever Zheng He went, crowds of people moved out of their way, and those who fell to the ground and wailed loudly after being trampled stopped their screams.
"The Sifu officers picked up the people, lined them up, and stood behind Mr. Zhao."
He suppressed the situation with thunderous means.
When everyone saw Zheng He showing off his power and the terrifying dead head on his chest, they realized that although Zhao Fusheng was very likely to summon a ghost, the Zheng He who appeared in front of everyone at this time was himself a ghost.
What can quickly suppress fear at this time is a greater fear.
The people who were panicked before could barely hold back their fear and followed Zheng He's instructions one by one.
No one paid attention to the orderer who vomited blood and fell to the ground. Under the arrangements of the guards, everyone lined up and stood behind Zhao Fusheng.
The situation is back under control.
Zhao Fusheng breathed a sigh of relief, and took a new look at Zheng He's abilities.
After taking care of these chores, she no longer had any worries, and she focused all her attention on the coffin that kept escaping black air.
At this time, Fan Bisheng also had a look of fear on his face.
After the coffin lid was pried open, like a steamer being uncovered, the black air inside surged out. For a moment, no one dared to take a step closer to the coffin.
Zhao Fusheng calculated it and found that he still had 433 merit points, which was enough to cope with the coming chaos.
She strode forward, grabbed Gu Jiansheng's clothes and pushed him away:
"Go away!"
The Fan brothers didn't need her to scold them, they already stepped aside to make way for her to stand in front of the coffin.
Zhao Fusheng took a deep breath, stretched out his hands, and plunged his hands into the billowing black mist.
'hiss--'
When the envoys, officers and people who came to be hostages in the distance saw this scene, they all took a breath of cold air.
Zheng He heard the sound and turned around to see Zhao Fusheng bending down and putting his hand into the coffin. He couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.
In fact, ghost controllers may seem ferocious, but precisely because they have dealt with ghosts and know that ghosts are terrifying, they are actually much less courageous than ordinary people.
Zhao Fusheng can be said to be the boldest person he has ever met.
Although she thought there was no ghost in the coffin, the evil spirit was roiling inside, which showed that there was nothing good there. How could she dare to directly reach out and touch it?
Now everyone is trapped in this ghost realm and can't get out. There is no other way but to cooperate with each other.
Zheng He didn't dare to cheat anymore. Seeing this scene, he quickly turned around and asked Zhao Fusheng:
"What's this?"
Zhao Fusheng ignored him.
The moment her palm penetrated the ghost mist, it seemed to be wrapped in ice.
The coffin is obviously not deep, but if you touch it with your palm, it seems to be a bottomless abyss with no end.
As she leaned down, black air surged up and touched her cheek, causing the evil spirit in her figure to move.
But the moment the fierce ghost's aura suddenly appeared, the black energy became more fierce, directly rolling the ghost into a deep sleep again in an instant.
Zhao Fusheng's heart sank, and he realized that the situation was not good.
The Zhao couple's growth exceeded her expectations.
A month ago, the evil ghost she commanded to give first and take later was able to suppress the two resurrected ghosts. In just one month, the evil thing that coexisted with the two ghosts was able to suppress the half-sleeping evil ghost. Calm down.
I hope her prediction goes well tonight, otherwise once the two ghosts after promotion retrieve the most dangerous thing and put the ghost together, everyone in Ding'an Building will die at the hands of the ghost.
She calmed down and suppressed the fear in her heart that wanted to get out.
Once her fear was under control, she quickly realized that her previous feeling about the coffin being like a bottomless abyss was just a misunderstanding. Her hand that dropped down quickly touched the two stacked door panels.
At this time, the door panel was very cold, like two pieces of ice.
She held the door panel with both hands and pulled it out of the coffin.
"This is……"
When Zheng He, who was approaching, saw her taking something out of the coffin, he couldn't help but come forward to take a look.
However, the door panel was billowing with black air. He was temporarily disturbed by the evil energy and could not see clearly, but based on his feeling, he had already 'recognized' this object:
"...a very dangerous thing?"
Zheng He's first thought was:
"You want to use this fierce thing to restrain the evil ghost?"
The aura of this ominous thing is very ominous, maybe it was left behind by some big ghost.
I didn't expect that Zhao Fusheng, the new official, would have such a vicious object in her hands soon after taking office. No wonder she was so confident in solving this ghost case.
Zheng He felt happy when he thought of this.
But as Zhao Fusheng stood up the two door panels, and the evil spirit on the door panels was no longer blocked by the coffin, it gradually dissipated, revealing the original shape of the door panels. Zheng He could slowly see the prototype of the door panels clearly. , his smile suddenly froze and his hands began to tremble.
