The years when I explored the fairyland
Chapter 54 53: Ghostwriter, Conjecture
It's a simple truth. To deal with ghosts, you must have the ability to deal with ghosts, and to deal with people, you must use the means to deal with people.
The two are not comparable, so they must be treated differently.
The reason why Chu Zhou needed a few days to prepare was not because he really needed to prepare something, but because he didn't like to act in a muddle.
Since the one-horned ghost was disguised by a person, there are many things worth talking about.
For example, why did he find the Zhao family? Why did he choose the second daughter of the Zhao family?
For example, although the old Taoist Xuanzhen's martial arts are not very good, he still has the means to control ghosts and kill people.
The martial arts of the one-horned ghost, especially the lightness skill, are really powerful to make him unable to fight back.
And such a master must always use some logic when doing things, right?
In addition, he is a human, so it is impossible for him to walk in Baisha City without leaving any traces.
Similarly, those people in the rivers and lakes are also very strange.
Baisha City is just a small place. It is not normal to come in such a large group.
To be honest, Chu Zhou was not willing to act rashly before these things were sorted out.
Perhaps influenced by some things in his previous life, Chu Zhou always believed that when it was time to kill, one should not be soft-handed; but when doing things, one should not be muddle-headed.
And the fact proved that his arrangement was fruitful.
Accompanied by Xu Cheng, Yi Huai, Fan Tiehu and Wei Fangjie, running back and forth between Baisha City and Xuanzhen Temple, various information was also collected by Chu Zhou.
The first thing he figured out was the history of the Zhao family's rise.
Unlike the century-old family of the Xue family, Mr. Zhao was a typical self-made man. When he was a teenager, his parents died early and his property was swallowed up by several uncles. He had to live on the streets as a beggar.
But he was smart and quick in doing things, and he actually caught the eye of a dyeing factory owner. After being an apprentice for several years, he was recruited as a son-in-law.
Yes, although Mr. Zhao looked like that, he was able to win the heart of the only daughter of the Cui shopkeeper because he was good at dealing with things and coaxing people. After marriage, he directly inherited the dyeing factory.
This was just the beginning of his "legendary" story.
Later, relying on his outstanding business talent and shameless nature, he expanded the Cui family's industry step by step.
First, he expanded the scale of the dyeing factory and launched new fabrics, then he got involved in pawnshops, gambling houses, brothels and other industries, and finally bought a lot of land.
Just like that, step by step, he swallowed up the Cui family's industry, and even spent a lot of money to donate the identity of "Yuanwailang".
So far, the son-in-law has transformed himself into a well-known wealthy businessman in Baisha City, Mr. Zhao.
This is not to mention the sharing of the Xue family this time. He was appointed as the "county magistrate" and became a serious official.
To be honest, when Chu Zhou saw this "resume" just now, he felt that Mr. Zhao was the real protagonist, and his life experience was really quite exciting.
But think about the social system of this world, and you will know that this is simply impossible.
Without military force, and with such huge wealth, it is a way to die!
Therefore, there are people behind the Zhao family, and they are quite powerful.
However, what Chu Zhou did not expect was that these connections actually started with the children of the Zhao family.
Yes, although Mr. Zhao is ugly, his wife Cui is famous for her beauty. After marriage, she gave birth to one son and two daughters, and their looks are like their mother. The boy is handsome and unparalleled, and the girl is beautiful.
Moreover, the eldest son of the Zhao family is said to be extremely talented. He was taken in as a personal disciple by a master early on, and was taken to a foreign place to practice martial arts, and he did not often go home.
But the master just sent them at will, and there were two martial arts masters who practiced internal martial arts and were stationed in the Zhao Mansion all year round.
Although they were not dispatched, the situation was different when they were there.
The two legitimate daughters of the Zhao family, when they were only thirteen or fourteen years old, had grown into graceful young ladies, and their beauty was praised by the whole Baisha City. I don’t know how many people coveted them.
But I don’t know what means Mr. Zhao used to make both daughters marry high.
The eldest daughter married into the Jiang family, a first-class wealthy family in Tianning Prefecture. Although she was not the eldest wife, she was already quite good.
It is said that on the day of the marriage, there was a ten-mile red makeup, which made the whole Baisha City have a broad vision.
Although the second daughter only entered Tianquan County, she married the son of an elder of the Yunya Sword Sect. Her power may be a little weak, but her military power is off the charts!
Based on these, no one dared to touch the Zhao family in Baisha City!
Of course, on the other hand, the reason why the second daughter of the Zhao family returned to Baisha City was to visit her relatives, but she stayed there for a long time.
Moreover, it seems that not long after returning to Baisha City, she was entangled by the one-horned ghost. It was not until the Taoist Xuanzhen caught the ghost and died that she stopped for a while.
However, if you think about it carefully, it seems that it did not stop for too long.
The above are the "story lines" that Chu Zhou pieced together. In fact, there are really many rumors about the Zhao family in Baisha City.
Some people say that the children of the Zhao family are not the children of Mr. Zhao. In fact, they are handsome men and beautiful women, so it is impossible for them to be related to Mr. Zhao.
Others say that the second daughter of the Zhao family was not visiting her parents this time, but was driven back. She had an affair with someone and was found out and got a divorce letter.
Some people say that it was a divorce, not a divorce letter, because her husband was injured in a fight with someone and could not have sex, so they let her go home.
Some people even say that Mr. Zhao did too many bad things in secret, which attracted the one-horned ghost to retaliate, and the Zhao family must be extinct.
In short, the various news were so confusing that it was hard to sort them out. Chu Zhou only got a rough idea and gave up.
Because there was no way to judge whether it was true or false.
The origins of those Jianghu people are very clear.
The strongest group among them are masters of Yunya Sword School, led by an elder named Qiu, who came to chase the traitor of Yunya Sword School, Luo Gan.
As for other Jianghu people, excluding the Jianghu wanderers who follow the crowd and the disciples of the sects who travel around, most of them are ghostwriters under the command of the government.
In this world where martial arts are prevalent, it is obviously unrealistic to rely on the constables from all over the country to catch the murderer, so there is the position of "ghostwriter".
The so-called "ghostwriter" is a Jianghu person who helps the government to catch the murderer. Most of them are powerful and do things for money.
There is no way. Even if you are a martial arts master, it is difficult to make money without stealing or robbing.
As for ghostwriters, as long as you are strong enough, it is recognized as the best and fastest way to make money.
In order to stimulate the enthusiasm of ghostwriters, the Dayun Dynasty even opened a part of its own "Martial Pavilion". The silver money obtained from the mission can be exchanged for various secret books, elixirs, techniques, and even magic weapons in the Martial Pavilion.
This item alone has attracted many Jianghu people to join the industry of ghostwriters, just to make up for the defects of their own inheritance.
And there is a consensus in the Jianghu that no matter whether you come from a family or a sword sect, as long as you walk in the Jianghu as a ghostwriter, you only represent yourself, regardless of life or death.
As for why so many ghostwriters gathered in Baisha City?
That has to be the pot of Luo Gan, who traveled thousands of miles alone! ! !
He is not only a traitor to the Yunya Sword Sect, but also the most useful "scapegoat" in Chishui Mansion. There are a dozen of various rewards hanging on him.
It is said that some people have carefully calculated that the rewards on these wanted orders have added up to a huge four-digit silver money.
This wealth, let alone the ghostwriters, even the people of Yunya Sword Sect would be tempted.
That's not to mention the secret message that was spread wildly in private.
It is said that the reason why Luo Gan became a traitor was because he stole a superior martial art of Yunya Sword Sect - "Wind, Frost, Cloud and Snow Sword"!
Although this "Wind, Frost, Cloud and Snow Sword" is not the highest sword canon of Yunya Sword Sect, it also has a complete method of washing marrow and changing blood, which can truly transform one's body and bones and achieve innateness.
Innate warriors are no longer the same creatures as mortals. They are big figures that all forces must treat seriously.
Catching Luo Gan really means that he has money, secrets, and fame, which is enough to stimulate ghostwriters to go crazy.
Wei Jinkui saw many powerful ghostwriters in the Yuelai Inn.
Although there is no ranking, in the public sector, those ghostwriters are powerful, complete the most tasks, and make a lot of money, which can't be concealed!
Of course, this is not the reason why Wei Jinkui looked ugly!
What really made Wei Jinkui uncomfortable was that Luo Gan's portrait was still posted on the notice board at the gate of Baisha City!
The matter of the Xue family was also planted on his head!
So, he and the county lord in the government office were thinking about one thing, why did Luo Gan, who traveled thousands of miles alone, come to Baisha City?
Is he here for revenge? ? ?
After this idea came up, many people couldn't sit still, even Wei Jinkui went to Xuanzhen Temple and talked with Chu Zhou!
There is no way, a great martial artist in the Tongmai realm, even if there are a bunch of people chasing him to kill him, but before finding his trace, that is a knife hanging over everyone's head!
As long as he has a thought, no one can escape his assassination!
Not to mention the county lord, even the families and martial arts schools that participated in the division of the Xue family were a little trembling.
Only Chu Zhou really didn't care!
Although he was only successful in training the internal organs, if he had the chance, he really wanted to compete with the Tongmai master to see what the magical effect of internal force was?
Moreover, perhaps he was really not afraid. After thinking calmly, he felt that the possibility that Luo Gan came because of the wanted order was really not high.
It's not that I think he is so generous, but really, there are too many black pots planted on his head. If he investigates them one by one, he can't investigate them at all.
However, perhaps because his thoughts are extremely active, an idea suddenly popped up in his mind.
Look, the one-horned ghost is here, and then Luo Gan is here too...
The one-horned ghost walks like a ghost, but Luo Gan's Qinggong is also amazing, and he is not exaggerating when he says he can travel thousands of miles alone...
Also, the husband of the second daughter of the Zhao family is the son of the elder of the Yunya Sword Sect, and Luo Gan is an abandoned disciple of the Yunya Sword Sect. Do you think it is possible that they know each other?
If they know each other, when the second daughter of the Zhao family returns, someone pretends to be the one-horned ghost and entangles her. Does that explain it?
If we look at it from this perspective, there is a reasonable reason why the one-horned ghost disappeared after the death of Taoist Xuanzhen.
His identity is sensitive, so he naturally has to stay out of the spotlight after killing someone!
So, the one-horned ghost is equal to Luo Gan?
After this idea came to his mind, Chu Zhou was stunned. He first thought that he was fanciful, but after repeated speculation, he felt that it was very reasonable to think this way.
If this is true, then there is a lot of room for operation...
