C36 The Disaster of Ghosts the Culprit!

The Catastrophe of Ghosts, the culprit!

Within the Return of Spring to City, with Ran Maoxue's City Lord's Mansion as the center, there were a large number of functional buildings surrounding it.

Among these buildings, there was a household register that stored the citizens of Return of Spring to City.

According to the law, there should be a person in charge of this archive. Two people in charge. But since three months ago, after adding a new document from another country, the original three officials in the archive gradually became idle people who didn't do anything.

"Little Zeng, look at the things, we'll go out for a drink first"

"Yes, Sir Manager."

The new Ceng Lecheng was quick and responsible. He was timid and cowardly, so he immediately became the target of their bullying.

Over the past few months, they had gradually given all their work to Ceng Lecheng. However, he received the salary from the government and went out to spend his time drinking and spending his time at work. At first, they wanted to hide and find an excuse, but after realizing that Ceng Lecheng was a miser who did not respond to any of their bullying... Now, they did not even need to use an excuse.

Ceng Lecheng was not angry. After sending away the manager and the others, he returned to the archive room alone and carefully arranged the files that had recently been stored.

The sun was gradually rising, and the Return of Spring to City gradually became hot. Ceng Lecheng stayed alone in the archive room. It was cool and quiet at the same time.

However, his peace did not last long before he was broken by a series of slow knocks on the door.

"I am Ceng Lecheng. May I ask this lord..." Ceng Lecheng opened the door and saw that the person standing outside the door was a young man in his early teens. He quickly changed his words and said, "This young lord, what brings you here?"

After Ye Zhifa received Ceng Lecheng's bow, he also returned the bow and said, "In the name of the city lord, in order to investigate the ghosts, I have come here to look for some files. Please cooperate with me, master Zeng."

After checking the City Lord Token in Ye Zhifa's hand, Ceng Lecheng hurriedly said "I dare not" and welcomed Ye Zhifa into the archive room.

"May I know what Little Master wants to inquire about? Although this official has just been appointed not long ago, I think he can help a little."

Seeing his cooperation, Ye Zhifa smiled and said, "I want to check the birthday of a few dead people in the ghost disaster. Their lives are all on this piece of paper. I'll have to trouble young master Zeng to find them for me."

After saying that, Ye Zhifa handed over a piece of white paper. There were five or six names on the paper, and they were all victims of the disaster of ghosts.

His request was reasonable, but it was directly blocked by Ceng Lecheng.

"Young master, this matter can't be done."

"Can't do it? Why can't we do it?"

"If these people are still alive, their household registration files will naturally be here. But since they are already dead, this household registration file will be transferred to the stone room in Fengdu. The files of these people are no longer here."

Fengdu City was the Cold Forest Country City, and the deceased people were incomparable to the living. If there were no post-natal disputes, the files that recorded their information would be centralized in Fengdu City.

Ye Zhifa could only believe Ceng Lecheng's sincerity. At most, he could only ask," Are you sure that the files of these people are no longer here? "

Ceng Lecheng looked at the information Ye Zhifa gave him again and shook his head. "These names were personally handed over by this official. This official confirmed that their files are not here. I wonder why the young master wanted to investigate their birthday. Is it related to ghosts? "

Ye Zhifa let out a long sigh and said with regret, "So there are some clues, but now it is cut off. Then it seems that I have to make a trip to Fengdu City. I wonder how long it will take for me to come back. "

Hearing that he was going to travel thousands of miles just to find out the problem of ghosts, Ceng Lecheng couldn't help but feel respectful. He bowed to Ye Zhifa and said, "My lord, for the sake of the Return of Spring to City people, I don't know how much hard work you have put in. This official will thank you on behalf of the people here."

"No need, no need. It's not too late to thank me after I really find out something. Now, you cannot accept rewards without merit. You cannot accept this gratitude. "

Ye Zhifa waved his hand, but he didn't dare accept Ceng Lecheng's gratitude at all.

Since he could not find what he wanted in the archive, Ye Zhifa could only return empty handed. However, when he was about to leave the main door of the archive, he suddenly turned his head and asked Ceng Lecheng another question.

"Master Zeng, you said you could find five or six delicious sheep among tens of thousands of sheep. Is it difficult to kill them?"

"This official does not understand this question. What does young master mean?"

"It seems that I do not understand. Then I will ask another question. Ceng Lecheng, from the fifty to sixty thousand documents in the archive, finding those few people whose birthdays are all Yang is not easy, right?"

"Of course not. Otherwise, it wouldn't have taken me so long to find five of them. Don't you think so, Young Hero Ye from the Zhehua Sword Palace? "

After Ceng Lecheng answered this question, his slightly bent back suddenly heard it. The timid expression on his face gradually faded away, and in its place was a kind of flamboyant confidence.

It was true that he and Zhang Miaozhu had chosen to disguise themselves as cowards. Compared to Zhang Miaozhu's useless appearance, Ceng Lecheng only gave Ye Zhifa one feeling - danger!

The danger of predators staring at their prey!

"Young Hero Ye, why are you so stupid? Do you like to meddle in other people's business? I have already finished looking through the list of people in the Return of Spring to City. After the twins... There is no one else worthy for me to make a move. If you don't come, I will also leave. It's just a waste of my life."

As Ceng Lecheng spoke, he calmly tidied his clothes. If the other officials in the archive saw his cool and domineering look, they would never believe that this was the cowardly document that they could bully.

"To think that you still have the face to say that if I don't come and let a villain like you escape, that would be truly foolish!"

Looking at Ye Zhifa's aggressive manner, Ceng Lecheng knew that today's matter would not end well, so he gave up the idea of using words to persuade Ye Zhifa.

However, before he really attacked, Ceng Lecheng still had another question he wanted to ask Ye Zhifa.

"Young Hero Ye, I am very curious. The information in the archive has long been moved away. How did you deduce that it was me?"

Bad people died from talking too much. Ye Zhifa did not want to explain it to him. When Ceng Lecheng was Ye Zhifa's greatest enemy, he could take advantage of these two sentences to adjust his mental state.

"Humph, the only difference between the twins is on their birthday. However, even their neighbors didn't know about this. Only the midwife knew about it. It could be seen how secretive this matter was. The culprit of the Ghost Disaster must have something to do with the Archives if he knew such a secret. That's why after I left the Sundry Goods Store yesterday, I found out about their birth dates among the relatives and friends of the deceased."

"I see. It's just that I'm not the only one in the Archives Department. Why did you set your eyes on me, Young Hero Ye?"

"Ceng Lecheng, don't joke around. Even if those people who neglected their duties didn't have a normal dossier in the archive, I'm afraid they wouldn't know. If it wasn't you, who else could it be? "

The crisp sound of clapping rang out in the archive.

Ceng Lecheng clapped his hands and praised, "Amazing, amazing! You're so young, yet you have such thoughts. Such an analysis, the Zhehua Sword Palace has really taken in a good disciple."

"But this good disciple is going to die here today!"
