I am doing meritorious deeds in Liaozhai

Mei Nu hesitated for a long time and finally relaxed: "It's for the Zhan family..."

In just half a day, Mei Nu explained clearly the cause and effect.

The task she received from the City God was to possess the daughter of the Zhan family and persuade Zhan Xiucai to work for the City God.

If Zhan Xiucai does not cooperate, Zhan Xiucai and his wife will be allowed to "die" of illness, and all Zhan's family property will be converted into silver coins and handed over to the government soldiers to transport them away.

Apart from this task, Mei Nu doesn't know much more than Aiqing.

Song Yushan opened the Yin Gathering Formation for Mei Nu and left the room.

She always felt strange before.

This city god stays in the underworld day and night. He is either a ghost or a ghost and cannot be a living person.

Since it is not a living person, there is no need for money.

But he created a nondescript "Sin Girl" and made female ghosts work as prostitutes to earn money for him.

Now Song Yushan knew that maybe the City God himself couldn't spend the money, but he could ask people from the Yang world to help him spend the money.

Otherwise, he would not have allowed Mei Nu to possess her and first prompt Zhan Xiucai to be used by him.

However, the city god did not press too hard on this. He only asked Mei Nu to try to persuade her. If she could not be persuaded, he would kill people and seize the wealth.

Song Yushan estimated that it was because Zhan was a scholar and everyone in the county knew him.

Even if a female ghost becomes his "daughter", it will be difficult for him to change his behavior and become the city god's lackey in the underworld.

"Exhibiting talents should not be the only choice for the City God in this world!" Song Yushan quickly realized this.

If Zhanxiu was the only one, there wouldn't be two ways for the city god to give Mei Nu the task.

When Aiqing and Mei Nu died, the underworld of Taihang was like this, and it was not that they started to make money later.

So Song Yushan speculated that there were living people used by the city god in Taihang County at least more than ten years ago!
In this way, the money the City God tried to earn could be spent to buy what he wanted!
If the City God puts up such a big show in the underworld, he will definitely not let other ghosts know that he has to rely on mortals.

Then he must have contacted this person personally!
By finding this person, Song Yushan would have the opportunity to meet this city god for a while in the Yang world.

As long as she takes a look for herself, she will have the answer to whether it is a ghost or a god.

Whether it's a ghost or a ghost, it's easier to deal with him while he's in the upper world than it is for her to fight him off in the lower world.

After all, ghosts are not as powerful as monks and demons, and they are in the Yang world.

If in the underworld, ghosts are nourished by a steady stream of yin energy, but the monks and demons are restricted in their ability to exert their strength. If this rises and falls, the ghosts will have the upper hand.

Just this person, who is it?
But no matter who you are, there is a place where you can definitely find the answer!
Song Yushan went to the place where funeral shops are concentrated in Taihang County.

Although Mei Nu said that the Chenghuang Mansion was extremely luxurious, the houses were tall and majestic and resplendent, no matter from a distance or close by, no trace of paper could be seen, it was like a miracle.

From the description, it really doesn't look like something that a mortal paper maker can make.

But the armors on those soldiers were just fake, made of paper.

This also shows once again that this city god is most likely not a serious conferred ghost or god, otherwise the soldiers under his command would not be so shabby.

Song Yushan remembered that on the day her father went to take office, the soldiers who came home were wearing armor that was very cold!
Since there are paper things in the City God's place, it means that he has also used a lot of things from the mortal funeral shop.

If you go and see if there are no zombies in your home, but you often visit the funeral shop, you can narrow down the list and find that person!
In the next few days, Song Yushan rested at night, and during the day he went to the funeral shops in the city with the invisibility charm and breath-condensing charm to keep an eye on them.

After several days of observation, there was no result.

Even if it matched, she went to see it and found that it wasn't.

If there are no clues found in the funeral shop, there is only one possibility.That person either raised a paper maker or was a paper maker himself.

Song Yushan thought for a while, went to Zhan's house, and asked Zhan Xiucai to help find out which family in the county purchased more low-quality paper and ink.

The Zhan family has opened a paper and ink workshop. His family is the sole owner of the paper and ink business in the city. Check this and ask him to find out!

"The magistrate?"

This is the second largest official in Taihang County.

I had heard before that the current magistrate of Taihang County was greedy for money, and all officials in the county, except the magistrate, could be bought.

This county magistrate is an official bought with money.

Song Yushan got the result and immediately went to investigate in secret.

It is said that the low-quality paper, ink and other items purchased were sent to the county magistrate's villa in the bamboo forest outside the city.

She went here first.

In the villa, Song Yushan found servants making paper towels and semi-finished and finished paper bags placed randomly.

In the villa, there is an empty courtyard with paper dust on the ground.

Song Yushan suddenly remembered that Zhan Xiu was the popular candidate for county magistrate.

The original county magistrate is old. After his death, when the county appoints another magistrate, it will definitely give priority to people with meritorious service.

Outsiders didn't want to come to this remote area, so they had to recruit from the local area.

Those who are famous in the local area are talented people.

If Zhan Xiucai dies and there are no more famous people, he will be promoted from the lower officials. By then, it is very likely that the county magistrate will be promoted.

Thinking about it this way, the person who joins forces with the City God is most likely the county magistrate.

If the county magistrate is really brought to power, the city god of Taihang County may not only be able to show off his evil deeds in the underworld, but also bring disaster to the yang world!

Arriving at the county magistrate's house, Song Yushan found that there was no obvious residual Yin energy here.

In the spacious house, all open spaces are paved with stone bricks. There is not a single tree, not a single flower, not to mention a rockery pond.

It looks very upright and bright, but there is no shade anywhere except under the eaves.

The county magistrate himself was basking in the sun on a deck chair in the yard without taking any sun protection measures.

There is no yin energy about him, and his body is very strong, but it seems that he often basks in the sun, and the exposed skin is darker.

Although there are no traces of Yin Qi, the layout of his house and his habit of basking in the scorching sun all illustrate his abnormality.

In addition, his eyes are not very unusual, he is actually a person with natural eyesight!
How could a mortal who was born with clairvoyance and had never practiced it live such a comfortable life without being protected by ghosts?

It must be him!
Song Yushan retreated secretly. She had to be careful not to let the county magistrate see her.

Being born with celestial eyes, he can not only see ghosts, but also the auras of monks.

While it was still dark, she carefully explored the terrain of the County Cheng Mansion, and even found the entrance to the underworld nearby.

Then I found myself a good spot to watch at night, and prepared to wait here for the City God to come!

She couldn't wait to get this over with.

I wasted too much time in Taihang County. I was afraid of disturbing the ghosts, so I didn’t dare to practice. I was so depressed!
