Bureau of Anomalous Biological Countermeasures Chapter 38: Haunted House

Speaking of Boss Zhao, during the Liaodong earthquake, he didn't bring anything out except the two gold cakes that Wu Mian gave him. Afterwards, the comeback in Liaoxi County also completely relied on these two golden cakes. It's just that there is only one piece of the original two gold cakes left, and nothing is worth the money that Wu Mian pressed.

Boss Zhao doesn't know how powerful Wu Mian is. But I also know that Wu Mian is at least the master who killed a tiger, and just a single finger can make the fat cook fly out. Such people can't be provoked, even if they really ask the officials from the government to help, let's not say how much they will spend on favors. And in the end, I don't know who was the last one.

Unexpectedly, after entering the back hall, the best mood is to return. As soon as the old guy heard that Wu Mian and the owner of this restaurant knew each other, the bitter melon face that had been prepared for a long time stretched out instantly, looked at Boss Zhao with a smile, then turned to look at Wu Mian, and said knowingly: " Do you know this from a foreign country? Look, I’ll say it. It’s no harm to recognize a few more fellows, and seeing you starving, who would be so embarrassed to still owe the debt? By the way, how do you repay the interest you agreed at the beginning?”

After saying these few words, Boss Zhao's face became even more bitter, he smiled at Wu Mian reluctantly, and said: "Little brother, I haven't seen you in the past few years, but you haven't changed at all. In fact, when you let go The two gold pancakes in my place were buried under the old house during the earthquake at the beginning of the year. If you don't mind the trouble, go to the shop where you bought the meat. The gold pancakes are buried under the old house. Under the shop, look carefully to make sure you can find..."

When Boss Zhao spoke, Wu Mian didn't seem to hear him. He dipped his fingers in the tea soup and drew a map crookedly on the table. After finishing the painting, Wu Mian looked up at Boss Zhao and said, "Look where this is, if you can tell, you owe me two gold cakes—"

Boss Zhao looked forward to Wu Mian and said: "You owe me two gold cakes - you don't have to pay it back." There, he thought of Wu Mian's words: "You owe me two gold cakes - let you wait a little longer. months"

It's better to wait a few months than to pay back the money right away. Boss Zhao tilted his head and stared at the map for a long time. Although he has been in Liaoxi County for half a year, he spends all day in this restaurant. I really don't know much about the landscape outside. After looking at it for a long time, I didn't say why, and finally called the local guy hired by the store to come in to help. The guy took a few glances and said, "Huh? Right in the middle of Cross Street... Isn't this the county governor's office? ?"

After being reminded by the guy, Boss Zhao immediately understood: "Yes, this is the county governor's mansion. But then again, why are you two asking about this?"

Wu Mian ignored him. After knowing the answer he wanted to know, he reached out and wiped off the tea soup on the table. The old guy grinned and replied in place of Wu Mian: "We arrived at the first time, and we wanted to go to the county governor's house to try our luck and see if we could find the reason. It doesn't matter if you make money or not, as long as If you can eat your mouth, you will be content.”

Unexpectedly, just after returning home, Boss Zhao and the guy shouted at the same time: "You can't go, it's haunted..."

The haunting in the county governor's mansion has been heard in the whole of Liaoxi County. Even a newcomer like Boss Zhao can speak righteously. It happened half a year ago, that is, at the stall where there was an earthquake in Liaodong County, a murder case suddenly occurred in the mansion of the county governor of Liaoxi County.

What happened was a watchman in the county governor's mansion. When he was found in the shed the next morning, his body had disappeared without a trace, and only a solitary head was left casually thrown away on the ground. The way the watchman died was so surprising that for a while, there was an initial version of the story about the haunting in the county governor's mansion.

More than a month after this incident, the case has never been solved. Just when people began to forget the tragic death of the watchman, the second murder happened, this time the unfortunate one was a servant in the county governor's mansion. The location of the incident was not the previous shed, but in the kitchen without the slightest corresponding.

According to the chef of that day: "When the dishes I made that day were about to come out of the pot, and when I was chatting well with Xiao Anzi, Xiao Anzi suddenly stopped talking. I looked back and saw Xiao Anzi's half pull. His body is gone, he is standing on the ground spitting blood..."

After that, the county governor's office began to keep dying. At the beginning, one died in ten days, and then one died in three or five days. In the recent period, one or several dead bodies have been carried out every day.

As soon as the deaths started, the county governor moved his family to another place to live. But other people, such as slaves, handymen, etc., must all stay in the county governor's mansion, and even sent a thousand sergeants to surround the county governor's mansion with strong bows and crossbows. In addition to carrying the dead out regularly every day, as long as a living person dares to come out, they will be shot on the spot.

Seeing that there are fewer and fewer living people in the county governor's mansion, at this time, the county governor made another incredible decision. He sent officers and soldiers to bring out all the felons held in the prison, and put these prisoners in the county governor's mansion.

Since then, whenever the number of dead people in the county governor's mansion reaches a certain number, the prisoners in the prison will be pulled in to fill in the number. Until last month, the prison in Liaoxi County was empty. Before long, among the Liaodong disaster victims outside the city, there was news that some people were missing.

After listening to Boss Zhao, Gui Bugui and Wu Mian looked at each other. Afterwards, Gui Bugui bared his teeth at Boss Zhao, and said: "The county governor's office has been so fiercely guarded by officials, and you still dare to stay in this city. Aren't you afraid that hungry ghosts will come to you?"

Boss Zhao scratched his scalp, and said with an unintelligible expression, "Don't mention it, the evil is here. When there was an earthquake in Liaodong County a few years ago, it was a complete mess. The towns farther than Liaoxi County were shaken and contiguous houses collapsed, but even the tiles in this Liaoxi County were not shaken. And last year's severe drought, the entire Daqin Dynasty was hit, not to mention Liaodong It’s almost the same if the grains are not harvested. Only this Liaodong County, under the jurisdiction of dozens of miles, has a few light rains from time to time. After the autumn, the ground is full of yellow wheat. Layerskin is somewhat taboo. I have already brought people here to grab it. So after the disaster, our old and young men all came to Liaoxi County.”

Speaking of this, Boss Zhao paused for a while, and after taking a sigh of relief, he continued: "Don't watch the chaos in the county governor's mansion, but as long as you go out of the gate of the county governor's mansion, nothing will happen. Otherwise, there are 1800 soldiers standing at the door, why is there nothing?"

Listening to what Boss Zhao said, Gui Bugui's eyes narrowed into a line. He smiled at Wu Mian, but didn't say anything, just turned his head to the center of Liaoxi County again. According to common sense, there should be the approximate location of the county governor's office.

Seeing that the old man and the young man didn't speak, Boss Zhao was a little uncertain. He didn't understand what the two of them meant. After hesitating for a while, he gave a dry laugh and said, "The two of you didn't eat well just now, so I'll prepare a few dishes, and there's really a jar of good wine in the store. Let's drink and chat, if we have something to eat. Let’s talk about it after you’ve had enough”

As soon as Boss Zhao finished speaking, Wu Mian suddenly turned his head and said to him, "I don't want the golden cake anymore..."

The sudden joy made Boss Zhao a little unacceptable for a while. He suspected that he had heard it wrong, widened his eyes, and said to Wu Mian: "What did you say? Why don't you?"

"I don't want the golden cake, but there is a condition—" Wu Mian paused after saying this. Turning his chin towards Gui Bugui, he said, "You get him into the county governor's mansion, as long as his people get in there. The golden cake you owe me will be yours"
