Bureau of Anomalous Biological Countermeasures Chapter 17: Haunted House

Zhu Yunwen checked the relationship between Wu Mian and Shao's family, and knew that Shao Qingmiao also had a brother-in-law named Bao Xian. All matters related to Wu Mian should be investigated in detail, and Jin Yiwei in the early Ming Dynasty also had some tricks. It didn't take long to find out that Bao Xian followed a mad Taoist who claimed to be an alchemist in Jiangxi eight years ago to study the Fa. However, the mad Taoist Shenlong saw the beginning but not the end. He only knew that he called himself Jiangyou alchemist, but his real name was unknown.

After Bao Xian went down the mountain two years ago, he once worked as an **** under the wealthy businessman Shen Wansan. Later, when Shen Wansan offended Zhu Yuanzhang and was exiled, Bao Xian escaped. Later, when they raided Shen's house, they found that one hundred thousand taels of silver had been lost. After interrogating the guards of the silver vault, I learned that the last person to enter and leave the silver vault was Bao Xian.

Only at that time, Bao Xian went in and out of the silver vault alone, and searched himself when he went out. At that time, even a tael of silver was not found, so how did he bring out 100,000 taels of silver?

Because Jin Yiwei wanted to arrest Bao Xian and torture him, but Zhu Yunwen ordered Jin Yiwei not to act rashly for Wu Mian's sake. Today, I heard that Bao Xian's house was on fire, and Wu Mian, Gui Bugui and others, and the demons entered the sea of ​​fire again, and grabbed a burnt body beyond recognition from it. Only then did the grandson feel that he should come and have a look...

"Alchemist Jiang You..." Gui Bugui pondered for a while, then shook his head at Wu Mian, who was on the side, and said, "I don't remember anyone having such a useless nickname, the old man, all I heard from the old man was This Dafang Master, that Dafang Master... what Kunlun Dafang Master, an overseas Dafang Master."

"If the two immortals need it, I can send Jin Yiwei to Jiangxi to check this Jiangyou alchemist." Seeing that Wu Mian and Gui Bugui were interested in this Jiangyou alchemist, Zhu Yunwen continued to strike while the iron was hot: "There is one more thing I think the two of you are also interested to know. After Bao Xian returned to the capital, in addition to his ancestral home, he also bought a house on Jiangyuan Road in the north of the city. Several of them have not returned to the capital for many years, so they may not have heard of it. That is the name of the house. But the people here, including His Majesty who lives in the palace, know that there is a famous haunted house..."

"The haunted house in the north of the city... Your Highness is talking about the Western Weaving and Dyeing Bureau Yamen of the Mongolians in the north of the city, right?" Gui Bugui smiled and continued, "How could I not know about that famous haunted house, the old man?" After finishing speaking, he began to introduce the origin of this haunted house to Wu Mian.

After the demise of the Southern Song Dynasty, Jinling was renamed Jiqing Road by the Mongolians and became a distribution center for the Mongolians to produce silk products. At that time, two yamen were established in Jinling to control silk fabrics, namely the East and West Weaving and Dyeing Bureaus. At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, a Mongolian served as the head of the Western Weaving and Dyeing Bureau. Once he was impeached by his Han colleagues, in order to vent his anger, he even imprisoned more than 600 weavers under his jurisdiction in the yamen of the Weaving and Dyeing Bureau. Then a fire burned his own yamen, and all the weavers were burned to death overnight.

The next day he actually reported that these Han weavers had lost their morals after drinking and burned himself to death. At that time, the Han people were cheap, and the superior Yamen knew that it was a Mongolian murder to vent their anger, and they still listened to the words of the Mongolian chief. It was decided that a Han weaver was to blame, and the fire-resistant Mongolian was fine, but the leader of the Han weaver was severely beaten with 80 sticks, and finally died directly at the gate of the yamen.

After this incident, the West Textile Dyeing Bureau Yamen was rebuilt on the original site. On the day of its completion, the Mongolian Chief Division invited more than a dozen Mongolian colleagues to the Yamen to drink and have fun. It is said that after these people drank late into the night, screams suddenly came from the newly-built Saiori Dyeing Bureau. Because these Mongols oppressed the Han people too much at that time, after hearing the screams in the yamen, no one around the Han people came to check.

Waiting until the next morning, the Han yamen who went to work entered the yamen of the Weaving and Dyeing Bureau and saw a scene like hell. All the Mongolians who drank in the yamen last night died, and the death of these people was extremely tragic. Everyone was naked, and there was a large opening from the throat, and the internal organs were scattered all over the floor and died. There were also those who had their flesh peeled off, leaving only a pair of skeleton frames and died. There are also a few who are exhausted by their own intestines...

After seeing this scene, these yamen almost all wet their pants. When they couldn't stand up anymore, they lay on the ground and crawled out of the yamen crying and shouting.

The Yamen on Jiqing Road heard that more than a dozen Mongolians had died, and immediately went to the scene of the crime, daring not to neglect. As a result, in a dizziness, he checked the scene hastily, and finally Dalu Huachi (the official title, the highest official of Jiqing Road) of Jiqing Road reported to the court that it was the local Han bandit who killed the Mongolian nobleman. In the end, hundreds of Han people were arrested and killed on Jiqing Road, which was regarded as avenging for the Mongolian chief.

Although more than a dozen Mongolians died in the Western Weaving and Dyeing Bureau, things in the yamen cannot be delayed. At the moment, the imperial court sent another Mongolian to serve as the chief minister. Unexpectedly, on the first night of his appointment, there was another burst of screams in the yamen.

Because of the previous murders that have implicated hundreds of Han Chinese people, this time in order to avoid being implicated. The people who heard the screams immediately went to the Jiqing Road Yamen to report to the official. When Dalu Huachi arrived with several hundred soldiers, they found that the newly appointed chief executive and the whole family had died unexpectedly.

The deaths of these people are similar to those of their kin, except this time, in addition to these Mongolians, even the Han servants serving in the yamen also died tragically. At that time, Dalu Huachi saw that the blood had not yet coagulated, and thought that the murderer had not gone far. At the moment, most of the men and horses were separated to pursue in the city, and he himself only stayed here with fifty Mongolian officers and soldiers.

Those officers and soldiers who went to chase the murderer turned around the city and found nothing suspicious. When they returned to their lives, they found that Daru Huachi, who was staying here, and the fifty officers and soldiers had also died tragically here. West Textile Dyeing Bureau Yamen.

At that time, some sensible people had guessed that this was being killed by a ghost, so they immediately left here. From this day on, the reputation of Xizhi Dyeing Bureau's haunted house spread. Later, the Mongols were driven to Mobei by Zhu Yuanzhang's army, and all the Mongols in Jinling City fled. There are people who make money and don't want their lives to start fighting the idea of ​​​​this haunted house...

At that time, an outsider thought that this haunted house was a means of fighting by the rebels to eliminate the Mongols, and that any haunting was fake. I bought it for the price of cabbage at the moment. After some repairs, monks and old Taoists were invited to perform the ritual, and then the whole family, young and old, moved in. This idiot made a sensation in Jinling City, and everyone wanted to see if he could get out of the house safely the next day.

By the next morning, the gate of the house was already crowded with people watching the fun. I waited until noon and no one inside came out. In the end, these spectators felt that something was wrong. A few bravely climbed up the wall, and before they jumped into the house to check, they jumped back outside in fright.

"It's dead... that fool's family is dead..." After one of them shouted, the people scattered. After a while, someone came from the yamen, and after opening the courtyard gate, the courageous one saw that seven members of the family were hanged in the corridor.

After this, the reputation of the haunted house of the Yamen of the Western Textile Dyeing Bureau spread to the imperial palace. Zhu Yuanzhang was a daring man, he originally wanted to send the officers and troops to tear down the house directly. Later, he was dissuaded by the counselor Liu Bowen. Liu Bowen was good at the passage method. He believed that there was a haunted house surrounded by evil spirits, and the evil spirits in it would not come out to do evil. Once the houses are torn down, there is nothing binding them. Anyway, as long as you don't go in and live in people, the evil spirits inside will not take the initiative to harm people, so it's better to keep the haunted house.

When I returned to Jinling City to send money to the Shao family, I heard about the name of the haunted house and came to check it out in person. Hundreds of them were souls that were burned to death by the Mongols back then. The old guy looked at them pitifully, but only frightened them and warned them not to harm anyone, and left here. Originally, I wanted to find a suitable opportunity, and let my few godsons who are the ghosts take them down and be reincarnated. Unexpectedly, someone will take a fancy to this haunted house...
