I become a god in another world

Chapter 619 Proposal
Chapter 619

Wang Ling didn't need to say more, everyone understood clearly.

Wang Ling was terrified and did not dare to say anything. His mind raced as he continued:
"The plaque is used to suppress ghosts. Although the imperial capital has been peaceful in recent years thanks to the presence of the masters of the Demon Suppression Department, there are few cases of evil spirits in the imperial capital reviving. This is most likely related to the plaque."

After he said this, many people showed anxious expressions on their faces.

The plaque of the Demon Suppression Bureau is of great importance, and removing it will be a big deal.

There were no signs of Fengdu beforehand, and the sudden bringing up of the matter inevitably caused the people below to have wild thoughts.

Wang Ling didn't dare to speak too clearly, for fear of violating a taboo.

But he was right about one thing.

The plaque of the Demon Suppression Bureau is inconspicuous, but it is like a magic needle that stabilizes the sea.

Their existence can prevent the ghosts of many dead people from being completely revived - or to put it another way, even if an evil ghost is revived, the noise will not be big and can be quickly resolved when it happens without causing major damage.

None of the ghost handlers in the Demon Suppression Bureau want to deal with ghosts. Fewer ghost cases means peace.

Once the plaque is taken down, there is a high possibility of disasters caused by ghosts.

By then, the Jin generals above will be stationed in Zhongdu, and the ghost riders below will inevitably have to travel around to handle cases, and the mortality rate will be greatly increased.

This is closely related to the interests of the ghost riders below, so naturally everyone cares about it.

"I want to know whether Lord Fengdu took the plaque on a whim or had it in mind long ago, or did he have other plans after taking the plaque?"

This concerns the life and death of many people, and many people care about the answer.

Yu Lingzhu and Jia Yi only knew that Fengdu intended to remove the plaque. They had a slight understanding of Fengdu's situation and guessed that he was in an unstable situation and wanted to use the power of the plaque to suppress his own evil spirit.

Just as he was daydreaming, everyone's attention fell on Feng Du, and Feng Du looked around.

Wherever his eyes went, no one dared to meet his eyes and lowered their heads.

This is the majesty of a king.

He said:

"The backbone of the Imperial Capital Demon Suppression Division may all be here. It's not a bad idea to tell you some things."

Feng Du moved his fingers:
"Shangyang County has been plagued by ghosts for a long time. Everyone is just afraid of Shangyang County because they know that it was once the territory of Zang Xiongshan. But many people probably don't know about Zang Xiongshan's situation, right?"

Wang Ling's heart was beating wildly. The heart in his chest, which had been corroded by the evil spirit and had almost withered, was stimulated and began to beat wildly.

"Shangyang County is a dead end for ghost riders. Once you go there, there's no coming back," he said.

Fengdu replied:

"Yes, two years ago, Zhu Guangling went there at my command. This time, the ghost disaster in Shangyang County died there."

The news of Zhu Guangling's death did not attract much attention.

The news of his death was like a drop of water flowing into the sea, without causing even a ripple.

Wang Ling was not interested in his situation. Many people would not even pay attention to who the Silver General of Shangyang County was, not because the Shangyang County case involved Feng Du and Xie Jingsheng.

But Zang Xiongshan is very famous.

After his death, the ghosts he controlled occupied Shangyang County and devoured dozens of powerful ghost controllers over the years.

Many ghost riders even possessed the strength of golden generals, but after entering Shangyang County, they were defeated without exception.

"You may not be interested in who Zhu Guangling is, but his situation is special. If he hadn't died, he should have a seat on the bench here."

As soon as Feng Du finished speaking, Xie Jingsheng sensed his intention and continued:
"Zhu Guangling entered the Demon Suppression Division as an official, and controlled water ghosts. More than a year ago, he went to Shangyang County at the suggestion of Lord Fengdu."

Many people were already aware of these circumstances, but when Xie Jingsheng mentioned it again and emphasized the time of "more than a year", Wang Ling was finally slightly moved.

Considering the current situation in Shangyang County, the fact that Zhu Guangling has been able to defend it for nearly two years is enough to show his strength.

"With his strength at the time, he only managed to protect Shangyang County for a few months before he was almost attacked. He later offered a city-wide ghost sacrifice and eventually raised his own ghost rank, thus securing Shangyang County."

When Zhao Fusheng heard this, he suddenly became angry.

"Something happened in the 38th city of Shangyang County. Does the Imperial Capital know about it?" She interrupted Xie Jingsheng and suddenly asked.

These words naturally drew everyone's attention to her.

Everyone then began to look at the envoy who was involved in handling the Shangyang County ghost case.

Zhao Fusheng's current status is not high and her strength is unknown. She is even nominally just a magistrate of a remote county town. Logically, there is no seat for her in this council chamber.

However, Yu Lingzhu and others dared not underestimate her anymore because of what happened before.

She spoke rashly at this moment, and Wang Ling and others were so surprised that they did not feel angry. Instead, they subconsciously looked towards Feng Du.

Feng didn't get angry, but replied calmly:

"Shangyang County is a line of defense against the Imperial Capital. The consequence of Zang Xiongshan losing control is not only the destruction of Shangyang County, but also the instability of the Seventeenth Layer Imperial Prison."

The implication of the words is very clear.

Regardless of whether Zhu Guangling informed Dijing about his actions or not, they were tacitly approved by Dijing's Demon Suppression Department.

With Zhao Fusheng's intelligence, she guessed in a flash that Zhu Guangling probably knew all this a long time ago. He didn't say a word that day in Shangyang County, perhaps intending to take the blame himself.

Her head buzzed and a flame suddenly rose up.

In an instant, her muscles tensed, her hands and feet became cold, and she couldn't control her murderous intent.

But at the moment when anger swept through Zhao Fusheng's brain, she looked at Feng Du's face.

Fengdu's skin was sagging and his hair was pale and slightly messy.

His face was covered with yellow-brown spots of varying sizes, and he looked at her calmly.

"This is the situation at home. We don't have the money to confront the ghosts." He said coldly, "The only way to pay is to sacrifice human lives."

Zhao Fusheng also saw the situation in the seventeenth level of hell.

Zang Junji is about to recover.

58 years ago, if Zhao Fusheng had not used the plaques he collected and Liu Yizhen's power to seal the Ghost Gate when he entered the cycle of reincarnation, Feng Du might not have woken up at that time.

"You know the consequences of its resurgence without me telling you."

Fengdu said calmly:

"There's nothing we can do about it, why bring it up now and make everyone feel bad?"

Zhao Fusheng was speechless.

She was not speechless because of Feng Du's words, but she realized that her anger could not change the minds of the people in front of her.

Fengdu has been controlling ghosts for a long time and still has a certain sense of responsibility, but due to the constant companionship of ghosts, he has long lost his initial compassion as a human being.

In his eyes, the lives of people in the 38 counties of Shangyang County were just a line of defense to stop ghosts.

She looked up at Yu Lingzhu, Jia Yi, and even Wang Ling - these people showed wariness, surprise, and a hint of hostility in their eyes, but they did not mention the regret they had for the people of Shangyang County.

These ghost riders have lost their compassion. It has come to the point where more people care about their own interests and no longer care about the life and death or good and bad of the people of the world.

"Ugh."

When Zhao Fusheng realized this, he suddenly felt powerless.

She can argue, but in the end it's just a matter of talking and she can't change the status quo.

……

Seeing Zhao Fusheng silent, General Feng turned his head away.

As he grew older, he became more shrewd. He knew what Zhao Fusheng was thinking, but he was too old and tired. He no longer had the strength to change the status quo. Now he just hoped that the situation would not get any worse.

This little incident was quickly covered up. Everyone was surprised by Zhao Fusheng's reaction, but they were even more surprised by Feng Du's indulgence of her.

Xie Jingsheng sensed the tense atmosphere, glanced at the two of them for a moment, and finally continued:
"The ghost disaster left in Shangyang County can be traced back to Zangxiong Mountain—"

He briefly mentioned the matter of the human-skin ghost mother, and then turned the topic back to the day when the ghost case broke out in Shangyang County.

"During our three-party meeting that day, Lord Zhao proposed to lead the ghost out of the city."

As soon as Xie Jingsheng said this, Jia Yi showed a strange look on his face.

As for the ghost disaster in Shangyang County, it was not Zhao Fusheng’s turn to propose it anyway.

She was only the Ghost Tamer of Wan'an County. In terms of position, she was below Ding Datong of Changping County.

Thinking of Ding Datong, Jia Yi looked dazed.

"Where is Ding Datong?"

As soon as he had a thought, someone knew what he was thinking and took the initiative to ask him.

Ding Datong quickly spoke up:
"Ding Datong is here."

Now everyone's expressions became even weirder.

Ding Datong was a general of Changping County, but he did not have a seat. However, Zhao Fusheng and his group sat down, and everyone looked normal, as if they did not think it was wrong.

"Ding Datong is the general of Changping County. How could the ghost disaster in Shangyang County be commanded by the commander of Wan'an County?" Wang Ling asked.

Feng didn't say a word.

Ding Datong said frankly:

"I am not strong enough, and Lady Zhao is more powerful than me. She was in charge of the Changping County Ghost Fetus Case from beginning to end. Later, when we entered Shangyang County, Lady Zhao's strength was obvious to all." He said:

"So after we left Changping County, everything was decided by Lord Zhao, including after we entered Shangyang County, we also followed Lord Zhao's arrangements."

Ding Datong looked calm and not embarrassed when he said this.

His words undoubtedly proved Zhao Fusheng's strength.

Wang Ling was a little surprised.

Ever since Feng Du and others entered the city last night, the name "Zhao Fusheng" has spread throughout the Imperial Capital Demon Suppression Division.

But in just one night, it was difficult for people to find out her identity.

All we know is that she was the self-selected Lingsi of Wan'an County, who handled the ghost case in Shangyang County. Jia Yi knows that she used the "Reincarnation Ghost Cart" to go back 58 years, and has a connection with Xu Yu.

Apart from that, no one knows where she is from or her family background.

Her origins are divine, but Shangyang County Ding Datong and others seem to be very convinced of her.

"I saw Lord Zhao take action at that time, and I also think it is very suitable for her to be in charge of the Shangyang County Ghost Disaster."

Xie Jingsheng's speech:

"Zhu Guangling was conscious at the time and agreed with me."

Everyone suppressed their doubts and listened to him mention that the group would enter the Shangyang County Demon Suppression Division and start the ghost burial.

Afterwards, the human-skin ghost mother revived and the paper man Zhang appeared.

Xie Jingsheng gave a general account of what happened. Although he did not mention some of the details of the battle in detail, everyone could still imagine the crisis at that time just from a few words.

"Later, Lord Zhao broke the human skin, thinking he had broken the law of the evil spirit, but he didn't know that once the ghost skin was broken, the evil spirit of Zang Xiongshan was hidden inside."

Xie Jingsheng said helplessly:

"The existence of the Human-Skinned Ghost Mother is a constraint on Zang Xiongshan."

He did not go into detail about what happened afterwards, but only mentioned that after Zhao Fusheng lured the evil ghost, he led the ghost to Longyang County according to the original deployment of the people in the imperial capital.

"...Zhu Guangling also died there. In the end, it took us quite a while to solve the case of the three-eyed ghost."

He did not mention that Paper Man Zhang performed the secret method of reincarnation, which involved other ghost cases.

But even so, everyone could hear that this ghost case was extremely dangerous.

Wang Ling's expression changed, and his voice became lower:

"Even so, as I said before, Lord Zhao participated in the Shangyang County ghost case and made contributions, but how much effort did she contribute and how much credit did she have——"

"This will be recorded in the archives later. If you are interested, you can borrow it."

Feng Du interrupted him and looked at Jia Yi:

"As for how much Lord Zhao contributed, Lord Jia should have an idea of ​​it."

After he said this, Jia Yi remained silent.

When Wang Ling heard this, his heart skipped a beat.

The attitudes of the two almost showed that Zhao Fusheng was extraordinary.

The Ghost Rider has a weird temper, is cold and cruel, and if I speak today, I might offend such a powerful man.

When he thought of this, Wang Ling began to back out and didn't dare to say anything more.

But Fengdu said again:
"Now that we have come to this, I intend to ask that Lord Zhao be appointed as a King General. Among the lords in Wan'an County, several have already reached the level of a Gold General."

His words were so shocking that Wang Ling's mind went blank.

"Master Fengdu, I, I have been controlling ghosts for many years and have solved nine ghost cases. I was only given the title of Silver General when I entered the capital—"

Wu Shaochun smiled and said:
"My master has controlled many ghosts and gods, all of whom are above the robbery level. He has door gods to protect him, ghost cars to clear the way, opera troupes to lead ghosts, and three eyes to guard the city."

"Our Wan'an County Meng Po is half human and half ghost. She can summon the red moon and make ghost soup. Once the ghost soup comes out, it can defeat the obsession of evil ghosts, break their laws, and make them disappear completely." He pointed proudly at Kuai Manzhou again:

"Man Zhou has two calamity-level ghosts, Yi Zhen once suppressed the headless ghost for twenty years, the Fan brothers can now fight and capture ghosts with their bare hands, and Madam Chen can deliver ghost fetuses, and Xu Yu is needless to say--"

He looked at Wang Ling:
"I am not very competitive. Although I am weaker than my colleagues, I am not afraid of ghost cases."

After talking about strength, Wu Shaochun said:
"In terms of the number of ghost cases, since you took control of Wan'an County, you have handled cases such as the beggar ghost case, the door god case, and the dog head village case—"

He named several ghost cases in a row:
"There are eight or nine cases that have been investigated before and after leaving the prefecture, and each of them can be verified. Not to mention that after leaving the prefecture, Wenxing County and Jin County along the way have successively handled major cases, and solved the mystery of the Jin County ghost case, and later Shangyang County and Zhongdu City. These have witnesses and physical evidence. What can you compare with our master?"

Wu Shaochun was usually honest and silent, but when he spoke this time, his words were sharp, which made Wang Ling's face turn green and red, and he dared not say a word.

His words sounded exaggerated, but since Fengdu mentioned that he wanted to confer the title of royal general on Zhao Fusheng, then what Wu Shaochun said was very likely to be true.

One can fake a record of handling cases, but such boasting will always be exposed. Once one is dealing with ghosts, such lies are enough to cost lives.

Wang Ling regretted speaking now. He was afraid of offending someone he shouldn't offend.

At this time, Yu Lingzhu said:
"The matter of enfeoffment of the capital and the appointment of the king is of great importance. Even though Zhao Fusheng is extremely powerful, the appointment of the king cannot be done by sheer strength alone."

"Too."

Fengdu nodded:

"I only have a vague understanding of Lord Zhao's situation. Talking without practice is always a lie."

He looked at Yu Lingzhu:

"It's just a good opportunity to test Lord Zhao's strength."

"What opportunity?" Yu Lingzhu was suspicious, and when he looked at her, she became slightly on guard.

Fengdu Road:
"This matter happens to be related to the plaque matter."

He looked serious:
"I sense that Emperor Zang is about to revive. The existence of the Five Cities Plaque is a calamity rather than a blessing. We must take it!"
