Chapter 49 The Mystery of the Ghost Shop?

Zhou Jing and Shen Mo hurried home in an ox cart, pushed the door open, and Shen Lin's eyes widened.He thought that Zhou Jing would buy a donkey at most, but he didn't expect to buy a cow.Although the cow is smaller, it is a cow after all.There are only two cows in Wangjia Village, which were bought by several families, but his family owns one.

Shen Lin stared straight at the calf, with good eyeballs, and went forward to stroke the calf's head curiously.

"Little brother, your eldest brother and I took a fancy to a shop in the town, two floors, 21 square feet. Because the owner's family borrowed usury and couldn't repay it, and now they need money. We knew that our family could pay the full amount, so it was missed by our family. . Otherwise, a lot of the same size would need two hundred and twenty taels of silver."

The news was a bit sudden, and Shen Lin subconsciously asked, "Why is Hao Duanduan going to buy a shop all of a sudden?"

Zhou Jing replied: "When our family's business was lost due to the heavy rain, one of the ideas I thought of was to supply the shops in the town, and the other was to open a Zhouji sausage shop in the town. In this way, even if the rain continues, I will not be afraid." , Although the business will be affected, there are still shops and people come to buy, so it won't be closed all at once."

"That's true. With a shop, it will be much more convenient for us to do business." Shen Lin said.

"Now we want to buy a shop, we can pay in one lump sum, and he agrees to sell it to our family for one hundred and sixty taels. According to the proportions of the three of us, your elder brother and I will pay 110 taels in total, and you will pay the remaining 48 taels "Since the dividend was given to Shen Lin, then Shen Lin is the shareholder, and he will get the dividend when it comes to dividends, so the corresponding contribution should naturally be taken.There is no reason to only eat and not vomit, that will only breed white-eyed wolves.

Zhou Jingdao: "The money in your hand is definitely not enough. You can take as much as you can. After all, this month is only the middle of the month. I keep half of your dividends with me, and they will be settled together at the end of the month."

"Thank you brother-in-law." Shen Lin also felt that he should pay the money, and at the same time he clearly understood in his heart that he was able to get the bonus of Zhou Ji only because he took the name of Shen Mo's younger brother.Otherwise, he won't be able to do sales, at most he can be a long-term worker, earning a salary of [-] Wen a day, and working like this for a year is only a monthly dividend.

Shen Lin only had 38 taels in his hand, and Zhou Jing took all the rest. They returned to the town and it was getting dark.

The shopkeeper of the tooth shop and Zhou Da saw Zhou Jing and Shen Mo smiling.

Zhou Jing didn't take out the money immediately, but said: "It's so late, it shouldn't be possible to transfer the account in the yamen, if not, I can't give you the full amount."

The shopkeeper of the tooth shop said: "No, you don't have to worry about this. There are people in my yamen who are in charge of this matter, and they can give it even in the middle of the night."

Zhou Jingdao: "Then let's go to the yamen right away, and I will give you the money after the account transfer."

There is really someone in the yamen who is the shopkeeper of the Yamen, it is his brother-in-law, and now he went to his house to pick up his brother-in-law, a few words were recorded, and a house deed with a different name was obtained, and the matter was considered settled.

The shopkeeper and Zhou Da took the money and left.

"Little Mo, let's go to the winery, buy two jars of good wine, and pay a visit to Butou Yang. After all, if we want to do things on other people's land in the future, we must visit the dock first."

The price of wine is expensive, although there are three, six and nine grades, but those who are too inferior are afraid that Yang Butou will look down on them, so they can only buy mid-range and low-end ones.Just one or twenty-five Wen for this small jar of wine.Zhou Jing had thought of this when he went home to collect the money before, and he was prepared to bring ten catties of plain sausage, five catties of duck skeleton and five catties of duck gizzards, and a live chicken.

This gift is very expensive, even during the holidays, many of them are brought to Yang Butou's house to visit.

Following the general address and inquiry Yang Butou said, the two found Yang Butou's house.

Yang Butou's mother-in-law is a romantic and beautiful woman. When she saw Zhou Jing and Shen Mo wearing it, her eyes were a bit contemptuous, but then she saw the ox cart they parked in front of the door and the heavy gift in her hand, and she immediately covered it up. Laughed contemptuously.

"You guys came at the right time, I am the one who is in charge today, come in quickly."

Zhou Jing smiled and said: "We came here with a bullock cart, we were worried about leaving it outside alone, so we asked my husband to watch outside, and I will go in with you, it is only a matter of a few words."

"Alright, the ox cart is very precious, don't say you don't worry about leaving it outside, and I don't worry about it either." The woman led Zhou Jing into the house, and Yang Butou was sitting at the table drinking.Seeing that Zhou Jing took a lot of things in big and small bags, he guessed that he was asking him for something, and he didn't seem very enthusiastic.

Sitting on the stool, he didn't even get up, Na Qiao smiled and said, "'Cousin' is here, please sit down."

Zhou Jing hurriedly said: "Catcher Yang, don't say that, I had no choice but to find an excuse, or those under your command..." At this point, the two paused and smiled tacitly.

Since he came to beg him, Catcher Yang didn't go around around the corner, he was able to do things, and he was willing to do things, as long as the money was in place, he was fine, and he didn't want to pursue other relationships.In the end, he still didn't think highly of Zhou Jing, a peasant family, but he just couldn't get his money out of his mouth.

So Yang Butou said bluntly: "Just tell me what you have to do, as long as it is not a big deal, I will try my best to do it for you."

Zhou Jingdao: "It's really something."

Yang Butou showed a really so expression.

"But it's also a happy event. No, I just bought a shop in the town, and I plan to treat everyone to dinner. The date is set at the end of the month, and that day happens to be a public holiday in the yamen. I would like Catcher Yang to lead you to come to me quickly." Have a glass of water and wine in the shop. Give me a face."

Catcher Yang was taken aback, and lost his voice: "You have only been here for more than four months, and you just bought a shop in the town?"

Mrs. Yang Butou covered her mouth and smiled, and she knew who Zhou Jing was when Yang Butou jokingly called Zhou Jing's cousin.Yang Butou told her about this when he went home. "Boss, you're wrong. Brother Zhou, whom you recognize, has great abilities. Not only did he buy a shop, but he also bought an ox cart."

Catcher Yang looked at his mother-in-law in disbelief, if it wasn't for the serious expressions of the two of them, he would have thought they were joking with him.

Not only sighed: "I think when I first met you, you were just setting up a stall in the market, but I took a few months of monthly time, and you became a shopkeeper in a blink of an eye. Come on, this is a happy event, Don't say anything, hurry up and have a drink with me." Catcher Yang immediately changed his attitude.

Having a shop in the town and setting up a stall in the town are completely two concepts, two identities.Although not all the shopkeepers in the town are rich and powerful, at least it is easy to get a household registration in the town.Besides, Catcher Yang is not stupid to have been in the officialdom for so many years. He naturally understands that it is definitely not easy for Zhou Jing, a poor man with no background, to be able to do so well in such a short period of time.And this is due to the fact that his backer is only a small person like him, at most he is protecting him from the town's gangsters and people in the yamen, and the rest can't help him at all, so it can be mixed up like this.It would be unimaginable for him to become a big shot.

Therefore, the attitude changed immediately, no contempt, and warmed up.

Zhou Jingchu remained calm, not panicked by Yang Butou's sudden enthusiasm, he was still calm when he came.

"Thank you, Catcher Yang, but it's really not possible today. I came with my husband, and I don't feel at ease if I don't leave the ox cart outside alone, so I leave him to watch. He doesn't know how to drive an ox cart. , If I eat wine, I won’t be able to go back. Why don’t you wait until the end of the month, when you and your brothers come to the shop, and I’ll treat you with good wine and food, and we won’t go back until we’re drunk.”

Yang Butou said: "If that's the case, I won't keep you. It's just that I don't know where your shop is located?"

"On Chang'an Street, it turned out to be a man named Zhou Da who opened it. He said he took out a usury loan and was anxious to repay it. He sold it to me at a much cheaper price."

Yang Butou frowned, chanted Zhou Da twice, suddenly paled in shock.

"You, this is cheated, how dare you buy his shop?"

Zhou Jing was taken aback by this, and his expression suddenly changed.He also felt that things were weird, but he couldn't figure out what was wrong. In addition, there was nothing wrong with the shop itself, so he thought it was all right, but he didn't expect something tricky.

"You know I'm from Wang's Village. It's the first time I've come out in this life. I really don't know what's going on here. I didn't think much about his house after seeing that the decoration and procedures are complete. I don't know what's going on here."

"It's nothing to be twisted and twisted, and it's not that there is a problem with the quality procedures of his house itself, but that the house is haunted."

"Haunted?"

"Yes, it's haunted." Yang Butou said: "It was a big trouble at the beginning, and almost everyone in the town knew about it. In fact, this shop was not originally owned by Zhou Da, but brought by Zhou Da's wife. Mrs. Zhou She is a woman married far away, her family brought a lot of dowry, even to ensure that the money in her hand can still be used after her daughter gets married, and she doesn’t have to rely on her husband’s family, she even specially sent someone over here to show the shopkeeper, it’s the one you bought The shop was bought by Mrs. Zhou's family at a price of 230 taels."

"I left a shopkeeper here to manage the restaurant business. This shopkeeper is well-managed and capable, and the shop is quickly flourished by him. Although it can't be compared with the top restaurants in the town, but at least It is also known to all. Not to mention raising a boudoir woman, even raising Zhou Da's family is more than a mistake, and it can even ensure that they live a prosperous life."

"Because of this shop, Zhou Da's family immediately became a rich man, and they can be called Master Sheng wherever they go. This person is willing to forget who he is after a few days of his life, and he really learns how a rich master raises a young child. It’s still the number one in the Spring Breeze Building. Maybe he’s still a little jealous of the family, but Zhou Da has built a house outside, with luxurious decoration, and he’s actually doing the business of hiding the beauty in a golden house.”

"The possession lasted for a year. Later, the head of the family became pregnant, so he was unwilling to be so ignorant, so he ran to Mrs. Zhou to make a fuss. The words were very ugly, and he told her about Zhou Da's bed. He also said that Mrs. Zhou was rigid and boring on the bed, and that she couldn't attract Zhou Da's interest. Madam Zhou fainted on the spot. When Zhou Da came back to find out about it, not only did she not blame the top Instead, they want to take people into the mansion and give them a name."

"Ms. Zhou couldn't bear the humiliation. She hanged herself on the beam with a foot of white silk. Poor Mrs. Zhou left behind an eleven or twelve-year-old son. Unexpectedly, Mrs. Zhou died, and Zhou Da didn't know how to repent. Mrs. Zhou couldn't wait to bring her into the mansion before she left for the first seven days."

"It's probably because the first seven days have passed. Mrs. Zhou's ghost has not left the house. Mrs. Zhou has seen everything. She can't die with peace and cannot swallow this breath. From that day on, the Zhou family began to feel uneasy. Accidents happened one after another. It was fine at first, but it was not a big deal to eat bugs and cockroaches in the dishes. It was just a waste of food for the guests. Zhou Da thought that the people working in the kitchen were tired and not dedicated. , fired everyone, and hired a new batch.”

"But I didn't expect that something big happened. That day Xiaoer didn't come because of something, and the shop didn't dare to invite people casually because of the previous incident. The shopkeeper had no choice but to ask Zhou Da to come and help for a whole day. Zhou Da was the one who cooked the dishes in the kitchen. Da personally brought the dishes to the guests' tables, but the moment he turned around, there was a sharp cry from the woman on the table. Zhou Da turned around and found that the dishes he brought to the table were not I don’t know why it turned into a whole plate of dead mice. The mice were fried one by one, and they were neatly placed on the plate.”

"And that woman was so frightened that she fell off the chair and fell unconscious on the ground. His family members yelled and ran up and down to find the doctor. They took ginseng slices and squeezed them with great difficulty. Woke people up. But it was not the guest himself who woke up, but Mrs. Zhou. Mrs. Zhou cursed through the woman's mouth and red eyes that Zhou Da would be ruined and ruined. That sharp voice was eerie. The local tone combined with the bloodstains winding down from the woman's head made him look like a ghost crawling out of hell. Not to mention that Zhou Da was scared, some of the people who were watching the fun were so frightened that they went back and fell ill. , Then I invited a witch."

"Zhou Da was really frightened. He fell ill when he returned home, so he decided to sell the shop and refused to open it. But the top card saw that it was a hen laying eggs and refused to let it go, so he gave me money and asked us to help. Cha, I insisted that it was either a ghost or man-made. I remember that I led five or six police officers to check every day from dawn to dusk. I asked the woman who was possessed by Mrs. Zhou until she almost collapsed. In the end, she didn’t ask anything. And there was no evidence at all. Didn't find it."

"We were really powerless, so we planned to close the case as a mystery, but the red card didn't want to, and insisted on planting the money on the woman who was possessed by Mrs. Zhou. He wanted us to be tortured and plant the matter on the ten-year-old woman who Mrs. Zhou left behind." I thought that the slander was framed by that child. The reason was well thought out, and it was because his father married her and made her his wife. The child felt angry and hated his father for doing such unfaithful, unfilial, and unrighteous Things."

"It should be Mrs. Zhou's grievances. After hearing this, something happened to the store before nightfall. This time, a master was poisoned by food. If the possessed woman can still be bribed, But this old man is the old man of a rich family, his financial resources are far above Zhou Da, and no one can buy him."

"This old man was poisoned by food, and his family was in such a hurry that they spent a lot of money to ask the yamen to find out the murderer. But in the end, after searching and searching, they still couldn't find the murderer, but in the morning of the next day, they found the murderer on the wall of the shop. I found the four big characters written in human blood, "blood debt and blood repayment". The font is beautiful, and it is exactly the handwriting of Mrs. Zhou's life. This time, the old man who was lucky enough to save his life refused to check anything, for fear of being caught by Mrs. Zhou. The wronged soul is entangled, and the young man has to go around Zhou Da's house and his shop. It's strange to say that the reason why the master is good is because he invited a witch to do it, and he burned paper in front of Mrs. Zhou's grave, saying I don’t know that Zhou Da’s bastard is so unkind, otherwise he would not go to the shop to eat and so on. Not to mention, after scolding Zhou Da and swearing not to go to the door of the shop, this master will be miraculously good Yes, it's alive and kicking again."

"Now, rumors of Zhou Da's shop being haunted spread all over the city, and no one dared to eat there anymore. The shop that was full of guests and friends yesterday became a haunted house overnight. Even the magistrate of Yamen Li County issued a death order and no further investigations were allowed. And put all the faults on Zhou Da. Compensating these two people almost emptied most of Zhou Da's family fortune, and the Zhou family fell overnight."
