Chapter 110: New Case
When my cousin found out that I had become the god of the underworld, he was even more excited than I was.
When we arrived at Fengcheng Township, it was around nine o'clock in the evening.
At nine o'clock, there were basically no people on the road.
When I got here, I got a list of everyone in Fengcheng Township, but I didn't have the right to see how many years these people could live, but I knew everyone on the list clearly .
Out of curiosity, I subconsciously wanted to find out the names of my family members.
But after searching, I found that our family's name was not on this list.
Could it be that we are not from Fengcheng Township?
I felt confused. If my name was not on the list, I could understand it, but it was a bit abnormal that my family members’ names were not on the list.
Second uncle, third uncle, there is no name...
I took a deep breath and didn't say anything when I realized this.
Our names are not on the roster in Fengcheng Township. The most likely reason is that we are not from Fengcheng Township at all.
But if we are not from here, why are we here?
I was full of doubts, but vaguely, I knew that the secret hidden by my second uncle might not be ordinary.
After all, my grandfather’s body might be in his house. When I thought about these things, my mind became a little confused.
I originally wanted to use my identity as the God of Land to thoroughly investigate the cause of death of my grandfather and uncle, but now it seems that I have no clue at all.
My cousin was still nagging in my ear about how to rebuild the land temple.
When he finished speaking, I said, "Let's go back first."
My cousin replied, "Okay."
Fang Nianci naturally didn't say anything. I walked towards home and Fang Nianci followed me.
We walked towards where the car was, and after walking for a while, we noticed a few figures next to the car.
When my uncle saw it, he said, "Could it be a thief?"
The cousin rushed over angrily and shouted, "What are you doing? Who are you?"
My cousin ran a few steps and then turned around and came towards me. His expression seemed to become a little unhappy. Seeing this, I asked, "What's wrong?"
He started by saying to me, “Those people don’t seem to be ordinary people.”
I:"……"
When I got closer, I found that they were a group of ghost officials wearing official uniforms of the underworld. I looked at them with confusion and didn't know why they came here at this time.
Among these ghost messengers, there is one who I am quite familiar with.
It was Lord Hong who stopped us when we went to the underworld before.
I looked at this guy with an evil smile on his face, and gradually a bad feeling began to build in my heart.
"Master Hong? What are you doing here?" I asked.
I don't have any good feelings towards this guy. Now that I am the land god of Fengcheng Township, there is no need for me to give him any face.
After I finished speaking, he said to me, "Master Chen, I came here to congratulate you, don't you welcome me?"
"Of course I welcome your congratulations, but will you come and congratulate me?"
Upon hearing this, Lord Hong said with a fake smile, "Lord Chen, if you say that, then we are strangers. Now we are both working under Lord Han, the City God of the Underworld. This is fate. We are all serving Lord Han, so there is no need to make such a clear distinction between you and me."
When he talked about the City God, his face was full of fawning, and it made me feel sick just looking at him.
"I'm sorry, I'm not serving Lord Han, I'm serving the underworld. If you have nothing else to do, you can leave now."
When I looked at the guy in front of me, I felt a little unhappy.
If it weren't for Cheng Yousi's documents from the underworld, I might not have been able to bring down Zhao Chengju.
"Sir Chen, there is nothing wrong with what you said. I..."
At this time, the cousin on the side could not help but said, "What are you talking about here? Can't you see that Master Chen doesn't want to talk to you? Get out of here now."
"You are so bold. Do you know who I am? Do you have the qualifications to talk to me?"
"I am a living person, do I still need to give you face? Get out of here now."
The cousin's uncle spoke in a menacing manner, and for a moment, he actually intimidated the guy.
He looked at his uncle in bewilderment , then looked at me and said, "Chen Yang, you really don't know what's good for you. This is the task assigned to you by Lord Han. Take a good look at it."
After he finished speaking, he threw a document to me and I took it.
I saw there was a case above that needed my attention.
I took a quick look and my cousin came over quickly. I soon discovered that this case was not simple. It seemed that someone was secretly stealing souls.
Moreover, this case does not belong to our Fengcheng Township.
After reading it, I expressed my opinion.
But Lord Hong didn't care about so many things. He said to me with a smug look, "Lord Chen, just do your job. You are now an official under Lord Han. Are you going to disobey his order?"
"I don't……"
"If you don't have it, do it well."
After saying this, Lord Hong took his men and left.
When he left, he said in a sarcastic tone: "Master Chen, it is said that several of the shady agents investigating this case have died."
When I heard him say this, I immediately thought of someone, Xiaohua.
I asked my cousin, and without any delay, he gave me the jade pendant with the small flower inside.
I took the jade pendant in my hand, and a voice came out from it immediately, saying, "Brother, you are finally back."
I nodded and didn't answer Xiaohua.
At this time, my uncle said, "Xiaoyang, you can't intervene in this case. That damn City God is clearly trying to harm you. Several ghost messengers have died here. It's obviously not a good place."
What my cousin said is right, but if I don’t do this, doesn’t that mean I’m afraid of Lord Han?
This guy is now thinking of ways to deal with me. If I disobey his order this time, he will definitely go to the underworld to sue me. It would be embarrassing if I was removed from my position as the God of the underworld after only two or three days.
I looked at the case carefully. This case happened in another township in our county, and this township is some distance away from us.
It’s about twenty kilometers away, and it’s too late to go there now.
I talked to my cousin and decided to go and take a look tomorrow, so I will go back today.
It was not until the next day that Fatty Wang finally showed up, and he seemed to be in a good mood.
While I was chatting with him, I told Fatty Wang that I was going to Huaishu Township, but what I didn't expect was that as soon as he heard what I said, his expression suddenly became solemn.
