I become a god in another world

Chapter 507 Preparations
Chapter 507
Zhu Guangling was dumbfounded, and his stiff, inhuman face showed surprise and disbelief.

When he was talking to Zhao Fusheng, he was already feeling incredible when he saw that she did not avoid danger.

Now that she had arranged for other people to leave, the people she had arranged for were unwilling to leave, which surprised Zhu Guangling.

Since the Han Dynasty, etiquette has long since collapsed. When evaluating people, people only distinguish them based on their status and strength. The purity of their character is no longer the standard for judging whether a person is useful or not.

Keeping promises, valuing righteousness over money, etc. are no longer compliments, but rather pedantic behaviors that can easily lead to cause and effect and may even bring disaster to the entire family.

But when Zhu Guangling saw this scene, his heart was no longer calm. Instead, a strange emotion arose from his cold chest.

Chen Duozi doesn't care what others think.

She was originally timid and cowardly by nature, and influenced by her mother, she thought she had no room to speak in such a big occasion.

But Zhao Fusheng broke her original cognition and made her realize that one day she would be able to speak loudly with her own strength and be no less than anyone else.

Ever since she controlled the ghosts, generals like Ding Datong, who were once high and mighty, would also be polite to her. This swept away her previous notions and made her more confident.

"I will never go back. I want to stay with the adults."

Chen Duozi wiped away her tears:

"Your Excellency is right. My family is ordinary people. This matter has nothing to do with them. Please, Master Ding, take my family away."

She has made her decision.

Ding Datong looked at her in a daze.

At this moment, Ding Datong felt mixed emotions. He had never felt so embarrassed before.

He learned to control ghosts earlier than Chen Duozi and had more experience in dealing with ghosts, but when faced with ghost disasters, he had no intention of fighting the ghosts at all. His only thought was to escape quickly.

Although he was deeply touched by Zhao Fusheng's care for him during his journey from Changping County, he did not dare to rashly say that he wanted to stay after learning about the situation in Shangyang County.

When Zhao Fusheng asked him to leave, he felt ashamed, but he still agreed to Zhao Fusheng's arrangement.

But Chen Duozi proposed to stay, and her firm attitude formed a sharp contrast with him.

In his heart, Chen Duozi was just a weak and taciturn woman - even though he later knew that she was a master of the art, when the two first met, she was submissive and followed behind Lu Yuhe and Chen's mother, leaving only a simple impression on Ding Datong: not good at speaking, with good cooking skills and temper.

But at this time Chen Duozi showed extraordinary courage, even surpassing him by a lot.

Feeling ashamed, Ding Datong could no longer sit still:

"My Lord, I, I——"

"It's human nature to be afraid of death."

Zhao Fusheng seemed to see through Ding Datong's inner thoughts. She shook her head:

"The ghost disaster in Shangyang County is complicated. You can lead people away and make them more useful than if you stay. Why should you be influenced by others and feel uneasy?"

She said calmly:
"I asked you to go because I was considering the overall situation."

Ding Datong felt relieved after hearing what she said. His tense thigh muscles relaxed, and he sat down again with his raised hips. He could only nod nervously:

"I will obey your orders."

"Don't be discouraged, those of us who stay here may not be doomed."

Zhao Fusheng smiled:

"Although the ghost disaster in Shangyang County is severe, I still have ways to save my life." After she finished speaking, she said seriously without saying anything else:
"Time is running out, so I won't waste time talking about irrelevant things. Since Chen Duozi is willing to join Wan'an County Demon Suppression Division, I will make the decision to include her in Wan'an County. She will also stay in Shangyang County during this ghost disaster."

After that, he instructed Ding Datong:
"You will take the Lu family with you later. You must protect the lives of the Lu family, especially Lu Paner!"

Chen Duozi wanted to stay, but it was difficult for her to leave her family, especially her son.

After hearing Zhao Fusheng's arrangements, he felt relieved and decided not to think about it anymore.

Ding Datong swore to heaven and promised that he would definitely protect the Lu family and let them settle down in the capital.

After talking about the arrangements for Ding Datong and the Lu family, Zhao Fusheng looked at the people in Wan'an County:
"I just told Lord Zhu that we in Wan'an County want to stay. That is the attitude of our Wan'an County Demon Suppression Division."

After she finished speaking, her tone slowed down:
"However, this time's ghost disaster is different from the previous ones. Staying here is risky. Now I will ask you personally, who doesn't want to participate in this ghost disaster? Follow Datong and the others into the Imperial Capital first, and wait for a month until I meet up with you."

Liu Yizhen asked with a smile:
"What if you don't join us in Beijing in a month?"

Zhao Fusheng also laughed when he heard this:
"That means you can't wait any longer. If you don't find a place to go now, are you waiting for me to drive the ghost car and take you back to Wan'an County?"

Even at such a critical moment, she still had the leisure to joke.

Liu Yizhen laughed twice and continued:
"Anyway, I'm not leaving." He was the first to express his opinion:
"My grandfather's body is still in Wan'an County. I want to see him ascend to the throne and receive incense from the people in the future. You promised me that I would keep an eye on you and not let you get away."

Zhao Fusheng laughed.

She naturally understood the real meaning of Liu Yizhen's joke, so she nodded and turned to look at Meng Po.

Meng Po said:

"Wherever the Lord is, there I will be."

She came to Shangyang County originally for her daughter's matter. Shen Yishu's case had just begun to show some results, and the truth that Meng Po had been pursuing all her life was within reach. How could she give up halfway?
Kuai Manzhou didn't need to say anything. She sat down next to Zhao Fusheng without him knowing when, and wrapped her hands tightly around her arms, making her attitude clear.

Wu Shaochun also said:
"You don't have to chase me away, sir. After the Goutou Village case, you gave me this life. What's more, I have already said that I will follow you wherever you handle the case, and Shangyang County is no exception."

As soon as he finished expressing his opinion, Fan Wujiu also became anxious and nudged his brother with his elbow:

"Brother, please say something."

He was afraid that Fan Bi would back down at this juncture.

If I leave now, I will probably never have the confidence to hold my head up in Wan'an County again.

Fan Bisi gave him a reassuring look and continued:
"We two brothers also want to follow the adults."

Zhao Fusheng stared at him steadily, his eyes were firm and he did not dodge.

After a moment, Zhao Fusheng didn't say much, just nodded and responded simply:

"it is good."

After deciding to stay, everyone's expressions became much more relaxed.

The tense atmosphere in the teahouse relaxed, and Zhang Chuanshi had a complicated expression:
"Why didn't anyone ask me?"

Ding Datong said enthusiastically:
"Master Zhang, you should take a less crowded bus when you get there—"

"Who said I was leaving?"

Zhang Chuanshi touched his bald forehead:

"I am also from Wan'an County. How can I leave first while everyone else is staying?"

His words were somewhat unexpected to everyone.

Among the people from Wan'an County, Zhang Chuanshi was completely different from Zhao Fusheng and others. "Master Zhang, you——" Ding Datong was a little surprised.

Zhang Chuanshi grinned:
"Do you think I'm stupid? For major cases, it's safer to stay with adults wherever you go."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Fusheng looked at him deeply.

The smile on Zhang Chuanshi's face froze slightly, and he turned his head away uncomfortably.

"Okay, then we'll do as planned. Lord Zhu, let them leave. There are so many of them, so we'll need at least three carriages, and the horses must be good ones."

Zhao Fusheng ordered.

Zhu Guangling nodded stiffly:

"no problem."

Liu Yequan, who was waiting on the side, panicked when he heard these words:
"My Lords, when the ghost disaster comes, I am just a small shop owner. We have no evil spirits to protect us, and we have no way to resist the ghosts and gods. My family--"

Zhao Fusheng smiled:

"I can't let you go."

Liu Yequan's face changed drastically:
"Why, why?"

He was a little bit unbelievable:
"Your Excellency is fair and just. Even though Lord Ding is a ghost rider, he can leave if he is not from Shangyang County. The family of this Lady Chen is ordinary people, so they can leave too. I am just an ordinary person too, so why can't I leave?"

Zhu Guangling also showed curiosity on his face.

Liu Yequan is just an ordinary person.

In such a ghost disaster, if he left, it would not affect the overall situation, and if he stayed, it would be of no help.

Zhao Fusheng has a kind side to her character, and she speaks for the people of the 38 counties under the jurisdiction of Shangyang County. At this time, Liu Yequan wanted to leave, and it was purely a matter of her words. Why didn't she do him a favor?
"They can leave, but you can't." Zhao Fusheng shook his head.

"You are from Shangyang County and live in Qingzhengfang. I see that you are closely united and well-informed in Qingzhengfang—"

Liu Ye was so confused that he didn't understand the hidden meaning of her words. When he heard her words, Zhao Fusheng said:

"But Shangyang County is not home to only you three districts. If you leave alone, it won't affect the overall situation, but you are all related by blood. Once the news gets out, everyone will run away, which will easily cause panic among the people."

Liu Yequan said anxiously:

"What's the point of your words, sir? We can't help if we stay—"

"You can't help if you stay, but if you move a large group of people, you will cause more trouble!"

Zhao Fusheng said seriously:

"When things get chaotic, it's easy for things to change. Maybe some scoundrels will take advantage of the situation to rob people—"

Liu Yequan quickly assured:
"Will not--"

"Won't?"

Zhao Fusheng almost laughed at his tone:

"You can't open your mouth now. If there is a riot due to panic, people will die before the evil spirits come." Her expression became stern.
"Who will be responsible for the consequences? You would have already run away by then!"

"Master Zhu..." Liu Yequan did not expect her attitude to be so firm. He turned to look at Zhu Guangling with a sad face.

Zhao Fusheng said seriously:

"Now that Shangyang County is under my control, it's useless for you to look for Lord Zhu or Lord Ma. No one is allowed to leave without my permission!"

"The more critical the situation is, the more we cannot let the city fall into chaos! In the face of the ghost disaster, there is the Demon Suppression Division to stop it, why are you so anxious?"

She shouted:
"You have heard the whole story of the case now, which means you have already known it before others. Even if the ghost disaster gets out of control and all our people in the Demon Suppression Department are dead, no one will care about you anymore. If you find a way to escape, you will be much luckier than other people who are kept in the dark!"

Liu Yequan couldn't bear to hear these words at this time:

"Your Excellency's words are unfair. As you said before, the ghost disaster is related to the Demon Suppression Department. Why do you want to keep ordinary people like me? Now that you say this, aren't you abusing your power and oppressing good people like us? You leave us ordinary people with no place to complain when we have grievances?"

He was so anxious that his eyes turned red. He didn't care about how terrifying the ghost rider was and started to accuse him.

Fan Wujiu stood up cursing.

Zhu Guangling's eyebrows twitched and he looked at Zhao Fusheng, wanting to hear her response.

Zhao Fusheng motioned Fan Wujiu to sit down first. She looked at Liu Yequan and sneered:
"Fair? Zhu Guangling killed people from 38 counties just to protect Shangyang County. You know exactly who he was protecting, Shangyang County or Shangsanfang. Don't talk to me about fairness. If the dead souls of Wenxing County knew about this, I'm afraid they would disagree with what you said!"

Liu Yequan was so angry that he hesitated. Just as he was about to speak, Zhao Fusheng interrupted him:
"You are such a humble person, you dare to speak to me like this, which is my greatest fairness. Otherwise, do you have the qualifications to sit here and denounce me?" She said:
"Let's put things in perspective. The ghost disaster in Shangyang County has nothing to do with civilians. I didn't ask you to participate in investigating ghost cases, nor did I ask you to lead the charge. I just want you to stay in Shangyang County and live your life as usual! If you want to follow the rules, go to the county government and get the county documents first. When all the procedures are complete, bring them to me for review, and then I will let you go!"

There was a gleam in her eyes:
"Under the current circumstances, none of us can help you leave. If you have the ability, go ahead and do it!"

With just a few words, she broke Liu Yequan's enthusiasm.

Liu Yequan had nowhere to turn to, so he could only look to Zhu Guangling:
"Master Zhu——"

"Master Zhao is right. The current situation in Shangyang County is that the capable are in charge. She is very powerful, so everything is up to her."

Zhu Guangling responded with a complicated look.

"What happens next has nothing to do with your Ding'an Tower. Go out and don't cry in front of me. We in the Demon Suppression Division have something else to discuss."

Zhao Fusheng said firmly.

Liu Yequan was still a little unconvinced, but Fan Wujiu had long disliked him, so he picked him up and walked downstairs.

Ding Datong and others also had to pack their bags, and Chen Duozi followed closely behind them - she wanted to tell her family to let Lu Yuhe, Chen's mother and others follow Ding Datong into the capital first.

……

After the others left, Zhao Fusheng looked at Zhu Guangling:
"Time is running out, let's talk about the human skin mother and child ghost case first."

As soon as she finished speaking, Mr. Xie wanted to stand up, but she knocked on the table with her fingers:

"Mr. Xie, since we are here, it is fate that brings us together. Why don't you sit down and listen?"

"Ugh--"

Mr. Xie sighed deeply, a bitter look on his face, and sat back in his seat helplessly.

Zhu Guangling nodded:
"Master Zhao, where would you like to start?"

"As for Zang Xiongshan, have you checked his past life?" Zhao Fusheng asked.

Zhu Guangling hesitated for a moment:
"I did check——"

The source of the ghost disaster in Shangyang County is Zang Xiongshan. How could he not investigate Zang Xiongshan’s past?
"But my time is tight, and I don't have many clues. I'll start with his household registration file..." Zhu Guangling looked like he had a headache:

"Unfortunately, most officials at that time did nothing and the records in many household registration files were vague and unclear. The records of Zang Xiongshan were vague, but we knew that his ancestral home was in the imperial capital."

"No."

Zhu Guangling had just said half of his words when an abrupt voice appeared and interrupted him.
