I become a god in another world

Chapter 476 Follow-up Arrangements
Chapter 476

Tang Zuwang did not have many records of Zang Xiongshan's past.

But he captured several key pieces of information.

Zang Xiongshan formulated the "right of first night" in the autumn of 205. Tang Zuwang recorded: This time point is suspected to coincide with the wedding date of Sun Shaoyin and Shen Yishu.

He recorded:

The marriage between Sun and Shen encountered setbacks, and someone in the Sun family died (suspected to be an important person).

Considering that the couple had not yet married, Tang Zuwang boldly speculated: Was Sun Shaoyin dead?
Is Sun Shaoyin's death related to the formulation of the "right of first night"?

If it is related to the 'right of first night', was Shen Yishu abducted to the Demon Suppression Division because of this law?
If the above speculation is true, then the ghost disaster in the Sun Mansion actually originated in Shangyang County.

……

But after finding out the source, Tang Zuwang was helpless.

Firstly, Zang Xiongshan had resigned as early as 205 AD of the Han Dynasty, and Tang Zuwang had tried his best but could not find any records of his whereabouts - now it seemed that he might have died long ago due to the resurrection of the evil spirit.

Secondly, assuming that Zang Xiongshan is extremely powerful and immortal, then if there is really such a long-lived ghost rider, he must have reached the level of a gold general, and he is not someone that Tang Zuwang, a mere Jin County Demon Suppression Commander, can afford to offend.

Realizing this, Tang Zuwang immediately decided to protect himself and no longer investigate the origin of the Sun Mansion case.

Even if we don't investigate the source, the ghost disaster must be solved when it happens.

The focus of the case returned to the ghost disaster in the Sun Mansion.

The arrival of the Wu family gave Tang Zuwang new hope of solving the ghost disaster.

Just as he had considered earlier, in order to resolve the ghost disaster, he must first find a way to understand the laws of evil spirits.

When your own strength is not enough to crush the evil spirit, the safe way is to bet on other people's lives.

Tang Zuwang originally planned to let the Demon-Suppressing Commanders enter in batches first, and then detect the specific situation in the Sun Mansion based on the number of survivors, but the arrival of the Wu family changed his original plan.

"...The leader of the Wu clan is named Wu Jizu. According to him, his father was friends with Zang Xiongshan and was taken care of by Zang Xiongshan in the past."

No one knows the character of a ghost rider better than the ghost rider Tang Zuwang.

Living with ghosts day and night, it is difficult for a ghost rider to maintain his "humanity", and it is impossible for him to have a deep friendship with a family in a remote county or village - the status between the two is not equal, and if there is any intersection, it must be a matter of interest.

Zang Xiongshan is a silver general-level figure who can control disaster-level evil spirits. Money is readily available to him. Anything that could allow him to have an intersection with the Wu family must be something related to strange things, such as evil spirits or extremely dangerous creatures.

Combined with the elusive evil spirit surrounding the Wu family members and the ghost rider's keen perception of ghost energy, Tang Zuwang realized that the Wu family members must have been marked by an evil spirit.

"This family was marked by the ghost but survived, either because the time had not come yet (ghosts kill people in a first-come-first-served manner, and kill them in order of ranking according to the rules, such as the Beggars' Alley Name List incident), or the Wu family has another way to suppress the evil ghost's killing rules."

When Tang Zuwang thought of this, he realized that no one was more suitable to enter the Sun Mansion than the Wu family.

The so-called friendship between the Wu family and Zang Xiongshan was not worth mentioning - not to mention that Zang Xiongshan was most likely dead. Even if he was still alive, he might not even remember who the Wu family was. Even if he remembered, if Tang Zuwang really "kept" the Wu family in Jin County, Zang Xiongshan might be satisfied that Tang Zuwang had dealt with this troublesome family for him.

The Wu family and Zang Xiongshan had an intersection 16 years ago, which was exactly the period related to the ghost disaster in the Sun Mansion. Perhaps there is a connection between the two.

Tang Zuwang is also a ghost rider, and he has no psychological burden in plotting against the Wu family.

……

He relied entirely on speculation at the time, but many years later, when Zhao Fusheng looked at the matter again, Tang Zuwang had hit the jackpot - the Wu family did have some connection with the ghost cases related to the Sun Mansion.

All in all, both the Wu family and Tang Zuwang had ill intentions towards each other.

Tang Zuwang warmly received the Wu family and nominally allocated a mansion for them to temporarily live in, sending the Wu family into a haunted house;
The Wu family is no pushover either.

Just as Tang Zuwang guessed, their family also relied on the law of ghosts to suppress disasters. Now the two of them could not suppress it and were worried about disasters. So they arrived in Jin County and wanted to lure Tang Zuwang into the game.

Tang Zuwang is different from the Wu family. He is a real ghost master. The Wu family hopes to use his ghosts to suppress the source of their own evil.

Both sides had their own ulterior motives, and Zhao Fusheng and others also saw the final result.

Wu Jia died in Sun's mansion and was caught up in the cycle of time, and has been repeating the daily routine of buying concubines ever since.

Tang Zuwang also failed and was taken into the Sun Mansion by the Wu family, and was also trapped in the ghost realm.

Tang Zuwang is already dead. Zhao Fusheng and others have no idea how he got involved in the game. The events are recorded here, which is the end.

……

After reading the file, everyone sat in their chairs in silence for a long time.

After a while, Zhao Fusheng rolled up the files one by one and stacked them together.

This trip to the Jin County Demon Bureau was quite fruitful. Not only did we find out the source of Shen Yishu's case, learn about her cause of death, and solve the mystery of the Red Shoes Ghost Case, we also found Sun Shaoyin and learned about the reincarnation rules of evil spirits.

Moreover, in the Jin County Demon Suppression Division, through Tang Zuwang's records of the year, he even found some clues about the Silver General who killed Shen Yishu, which was an unexpected surprise of this trip.

"Tang Zuwang's records are very important," Er Fan and Ding Datong were recording the Sun Mansion ghost case, not knowing the cause and effect, Zhao Fusheng said:

"Due to the evil spirit laws, these records are sporadic and need to be reorganized. I will give it to Erfan to do this later."

Liu Yizhen nodded, and thinking of Fan Wujiu's character, he reminded him:

"But both Fan and Fan have already mastered ghosts. Can someone else do this?"

Jin County has been relatively peaceful in recent years. Since Tang Zuwang is still there, everything is running smoothly as usual and there is no chaos.

The Demon Suppression Division's government office is fully equipped with accounting offices, clerical staff, and other chores. It would be very convenient to find a lawyer to copy the files on ghost disasters, and there is no need to let the ghost-controlling envoy do this personally.

Zhao Fusheng glanced at him:
"Controlling ghosts is controlling ghosts."

Having the assistance of ghosts only enhances your military strength, but when dealing with ghosts, knowledge and cognition are indispensable.

"Using the power of ghosts to solve ghost disasters is only a bad idea. Although Er Fan has a special way of controlling ghosts, he always relies on brute force. In the future, he will inevitably encounter more powerful ghosts. Not using his brain is not a good thing."

The reason why Zhao Fusheng specifically asked Fan Bisi and the other two to copy the files was that he wanted them to accumulate experience and gain knowledge.

Liu Yizhen was stunned for a moment, then nodded and changed the subject:
"Once the matter in Jin County is resolved, what are your plans for the next step?"

"I plan to take down the plaque of the Demon Suppression Bureau, then stay in Jin County for two days, and finally enter Shangyang County to meet with General Jin from the Xie family." As soon as Zhao Fusheng spoke out his plan, Meng Po's lips moved but no sound came out.

"Are you planning to stay in King County for another two days?"

Liu Yizhen glanced at Meng Po and asked her the question in her mind:

"What is the purpose of the Demon Suppression Division's plaque? You also took away the Demon Suppression Division's plaque when you were in Wenxing County."

When Zheng He went to Zhao Fusheng that day, he also brought a plaque of Baozhi County's Demon Suppression Office as a gift to Zhao Fusheng.

As soon as Liu Yizhen finished speaking, Zhao Fusheng said:
"We are all family, so I won't hide some things from you."

Her eyes fell on the files on the table and she said:
"I suspect the plaque of the Demon Suppression Bureau has the power to suppress ghosts."

Chen Duozi was not originally from the Demon Suppression Division, so this statement was very new to her and she widened her eyes.

But Liu Yizhen and Meng Po had already guessed this possibility.

"As you all know, only the power of ghosts can suppress ghosts, so I suspect that the plaque of the Demon Suppression Bureau itself is one of the decomposed remains of evil spirits."

Her words made everyone's expressions gradually become serious.

"This has both advantages and disadvantages." She pondered for a moment:
"Back then, Paper Man Zhang instructed Old Zhang to open a coffin shop in the Demon Suppression Division. He should be guarding the plaque of our Wan'an County."

She was afraid that Paper Man Zhang's purpose was to collect these plaques, which would cause a big mess.

Therefore, before Paper Man Zhang took action, Zhao Fusheng had to try his best to collect some of the plaques. No matter what plans Paper Man Zhang had, Zhao Fusheng could not let him present them all.

Liu Yizhen and Meng Po looked at each other. Meng Po thought of the actions of Zhang father and son and felt so angry that her teeth were itching.

These two people harbored evil intentions and created many serial ghost cases, causing the separation of her mother and daughter. It is unknown how many people lost their lives because of these two people.

"Sir, if the signboard of the Demon Suppression Division is the decomposed body of a great ghost, then the fragments alone can be enough to scare a region. This shows that this evil ghost is extraordinary. We must not let the Zhang father and son succeed in their plot."

Meng Po said bitterly:

"But sir, there is something strange about this matter." She said, "As we travel along the way, we find that Zhang and his son are nowhere to be found, but their shadows are everywhere."

The disappearance of Shen Yishu is suspected to be related to the Zhang family father and son, and the death of the Huangquan Opera Troupe in Bao County is also related to Paper Man Zhang.

Lu Zhuer's marriage was also fueled by some force behind the scenes, and the person she was engaged to was from the Zang family, who had the same surname as Zang Xiongshan, the silver general of Shangyang County.

……

During these events, Zhang and his son hid in the dark and had countless opportunities to take away the plaques of the Demon Suppression Offices in various places. Why haven't they taken them away yet?
"I don't know about that either." Zhao Fusheng is cautious by nature. She won't make random guesses until she is sure of the matter.

Liu Yizhen did not have this concern and said directly:

"The plaque has the function of suppressing ghosts and protecting the area. The court should attach great importance to it. Are you worried that it will cause disaster if it is taken away?"

After saying that, he speculated: "There is another possibility. If the plaque is really a ghost that has been decomposed, once it is combined, it may backfire on itself."

"No matter what, we should take as much as we can." Zhao Fusheng said, "The ghost disaster in Jin County has been resolved. In the future, there will be no ghost cases in Sun Mansion to balance the situation. Once someone dies again, there may be cases of evil spirits reviving."

If she takes away the plaque of the Demon Suppression Bureau, this place may fall into crisis.

"Just in case, I will stay here for two days to leave some of the door god's marks."

She planned to use the ghost seal of the door gods to replace the suppressing force of the plaque of the Demon Suppression Bureau. At the same time, the incense and worship of the people could nourish the ghosts and gods in disguise and promote the door gods.

"Afterwards, we will keep one of Tao Lifang and the other two to temporarily take charge of Jin County."

Ding Datong has confirmed that he will go back to Wan'an County with her. Hu Rong, Tao Lifang and Jiang Ying all have the door god ghost seal she has made on them. They are in stable condition and can stay in Jin County after this incident to prevent chaos in Jin County.

This way, there is double protection and no major problems will arise in a short period of time.

"Your Excellency has thought it through. This will save Jin County from worries."

Meng Po praised it.

After the few people finished discussing, Zhao Fusheng immediately ordered Chen Duozi and Kuai Manzhou to get the signboard of Jin County. At the same time, he called Zhao Jinhuan to come and explained some matters to him.

When Zhao Jinhuan first heard that Tang Zuwang was "dead", he was a little surprised. Then when he heard that Zhao Fusheng would arrange another ghost rider to stay in Jin County, he felt uneasy again.

Jin County had been peaceful for many years, but now it had suddenly encountered an unexpected change, and everyone was inevitably stunned.

When Zhao Jinhuan passed the news step by step, the emissaries and servants in the Jin County Demon Suppression Bureau were all at a loss in the face of the new changes.

Kuai Manzhou and Chen Duozi quickly took down the signboard of Jin County Demon Suppression Bureau. Zhao Fusheng temporarily put it into hell, and then branded the door god on the gate of the Demon Suppression Bureau, using the plaque to suppress the ghost disasters in the surrounding area.

Afterwards, the task of reforming the Demon Suppression Department in the city and notifying the people in the city to invite the door gods into thousands of households within two days was handed over to Ding Datong and others. Zhao Fusheng took this opportunity to enjoy a quiet afternoon.

With some free time, she finally had the opportunity to review the gains and losses since entering Bingzhou this time.

Since entering Bingzhou, she has solved several ghost disasters and won many rewards in Wenxing and Jin County. Her merit value has now reached 508332.

Her Investiture of the Gods list has opened four positions, and now there are four ghosts and gods: the door god, the ghost horse-faced ghost, the ghost car night wandering god, and the troupe of the underworld guide;

The hell has seven levels open, which can suppress evil spirits.

Zhao Fusheng's consciousness stayed on the fifth position of the god, and the reminder sound of the List of Gods rang: Do you want to consume 50000 merit points to open a position on the list of gods?
She hesitated and chose no.

The positions on the List of Gods need to be opened. Not only one position needs to be opened, but two positions need to be opened at the same time.

Although the two ghosts Qiao Yuesheng and Liu Huacheng from Wan'an County were confronting each other and falling into a deep sleep, these two ghosts were always a big worry for Zhao Fusheng. She could not feel at ease unless she included them in the List of Conferred Gods and completely controlled them.

Based on her experience of the merit points needed to open Hell, Zhao Fusheng estimated that the merit points required for the next two lists of gods would be at least 150000. In this way, the merit points she now has are sufficient.

However, she did not plan to open the List of Gods at this time, but was preparing to return to Wan'an County.

This trip to Beijing might not be smooth sailing, so she had to keep her merit points for emergencies.

Her consciousness sank into hell.

Tips for the list of gods:
There are too many evil spirits suppressed in the Seventh Layer of Hell. Should I consume 100000 merit points to open the Eighth Layer of Hell?

Reminder to the host: After opening the eighth layer of hell, you can imprison evil spirits of the fierce level and below, suppress evil spirits of the evil level, and deter evil spirits of the disaster level.
