Before I became the legendary boss

Chapter 10 Small Town Mystery

After Li Ying visited the morgue for a day, he admired He Rong so much.He knew that a rookie like himself who had only played one round would never survive to the end with his personal ability, so he simply let go of his hands and hugged his thighs.Early in the morning, He Rong proposed to go to the street to collect clues, Li Ying followed without saying a word, and insisted on asking his servants to let them go out by virtue of his identity as the young master.After the two entered the teahouse in the street, in order to fully reflect their value as a younger brother, Li Ying ordered the best seat in the lobby.

After being seated, Li Yingsi glanced around, only to find that the eyes in the hall were looking at them strangely, accompanied by whispers.

"Look, it's Young Master Huang..."

"God...how dare he come out..."

"Their family... died these days..."

"My cousin's daughter-in-law's younger brother works in the yamen. He said that Second Master Huang also died last night. He died a terrible death..."

"What?! Come on, tell me in detail!"

"Isn't Second Master Huang the favorite to dress up... When he was discovered, his eyes, nose and ears were all gone, and even his tongue was pulled out!"

"Amitabha, Amitabha." Everyone was so frightened that they repeated the Buddha's name.

"It's terrible, this is definitely done by monsters!"

"What monsters, it's clear that the Huang family has done all the evil things, God can't stand it, and sent Bodhisattvas to punish them!"

In the past, the Huang family was the tyrant in the town, and no one dared to make irresponsible remarks to his family, but now that the wind has fallen, those dissatisfied people have sprung up like mushrooms after rain.Everyone came to talk to each other, saying that the Huang family used to be domineering and a fish and meat villager.

"That Huang Rencai pretends to be kind on the surface, but he is actually a hypocrite! Do you think he only married a side house to cultivate his morals?" Pooh!The man spoke so eloquently, as if he had seen it himself. "He just likes messing around with the girls in the mansion! He changes his taste every day, and when he gets tired of playing, he throws them out of the mansion and lets them fend for themselves!"

"Then why does he only have one son?"

"That's because the eldest lady is narrow-minded. Even if the concubine can enter the Huang family's gate, she will not tolerate any concubine competing with her son for the family property!!"

"No wonder...!!"

"There are even more frightening things," the tea friends said with relish when they met each other. "Do you know that 20 years ago, there was a flood near here, and most of the harvest was ruined that year. Huang Rencai was just in charge at that time. Guess what happened?"

"What's the matter? Didn't he reduce the rent from [-]% to [-]%?"

"Yes." The speaker nodded, "But you only know one, not the other."

"It is true that the rent has been reduced, but it has doubled in the coming year! Even loan sharks don't charge that much interest. Isn't this driving people to death? So many people can't pay their rent in the second year, so they can only procrastinate. In the next year, year after year, more and more debts will be owed, and those who can’t repay their debts will have to sell their sons and daughters for money to compensate him, or bring the whole family to commit suicide together!!”

Before the words fell, the audience was shocked!Everyone scolded Mr. Huang for taking advantage of the fire, being wolf-hearted and not a thing.

"Not many people know about this nowadays, because the old people have left. These evil things have made the Huang family develop rapidly, and here they have become the earth emperor with one hand covering the sky!" The man sighed.

"It reminds me of what you said. Huang Rencai built a temple on the top of the mountain because he feared that he had done too many evils and suffered retribution, just to get rid of the bad luck!"

"It makes sense...but the temple has been built for almost a year, why hasn't it been completed yet?"

It must be that the Bodhisattva refused to appear to bless him!Someone said it out loud.

"Who knows..." Everyone continued to talk about this topic.

He Rong and Li Ying looked at each other, sneaked out of the tea house, and went straight to the mountain on the west side.

The hillside is not high, the road is dense with vegetation, and the scenery is pleasant, but neither of them is in the mood to talk and laugh.If what everyone in the teahouse said just now is true, then after the death of Second Master Huang, the most dangerous people tonight are the two remaining surnamed Huang.Thinking about it, if Mr. Huang really built the temple to pray to the gods, how could he allow the temple to be half built?There must be hidden secrets in it.

Soon, they came to the top of the mountain.I saw a magnificent temple surrounded by verdant greenery.Glazed tiles and vermilion walls are magnificent, solemn and dignified, and the intentions of construction can be felt in every corner.

They continued to climb up the steps, entered the courtyard gate, and stepped into the main hall with a few steps. They found that the interior was also extravagant and extravagant. The tribute candlesticks were all available, and they were all of the best specifications, but the most important thing was missing—the hall. There is no idol on the lotus throne!

How is this going?

He Rong and Li Ying split up and searched carefully in the hall, and walked around behind the throne.At the same time, the two saw red mottles on the floor tiles, like blood stains, stretching all the way out of the hall.

Li Ying's goosebumps rose all at once.Oh my God, he thought, could it be that this bodhisattva went down the mountain to kill people after killing harm for the people? !This idea was so reasonable and visually appealing that he couldn't help but recall various classic horror movies.

He Rong squatted down and observed the blood carefully. The blood seemed to be stained within today, and he could still smell the fishy smell.He followed the bloodstains out of the hall to the backyard.There are all kinds of half-used stones piled up in the backyard, and blood stains pass through these gravels, leading to a thatched house in the corner of the yard.

The doors and windows of the thatched house were closed, and the door was locked.He Rong poked a hole in the paper window, and just wanted to find out what was going on inside the house.Unexpectedly, when the hole in the paper was poked open, a foul smell came out.

Li Ying's face was pale. The smell was exactly the same as the one in the yamen morgue, but it was stronger than that. It was self-evident what was inside.

Just when the two of them were fainted by the smoke, there was movement from the main entrance, as if something had come in.The pace is neither too fast nor too slow, as if chasing and teasing, slowly coming towards the backyard.

"Let's go!!" He Rong pushed the frightened Li Ying towards the back door, but he didn't expect that the back door was locked when the front door wasn't locked!The two of them had no choice but to climb over the wall with a ladder, and pushed Li Ying up, He Rongcai followed. After jumping off the wall, the two fled one after the other, running desperately towards the town.But there seemed to be a vicious gaze sticking behind them all the time, lingering on them.

Running all the way back to the town, Li Ying was out of breath.He Rong on the side was not much better than him, and the two of them leaned against the wall to calm down their heartbeats.Just when He Rong was about to speak, a hand stretched out from the shadow in the corner, covered his mouth, and dragged him into a dark alley.

He Rong:! ! ! !

His heartbeat still didn't recover, and he beat his chest fiercely.That hand was big and rough, covering most of his face.He Rong's entire figure seemed to be embedded in the opponent's arms, his waist was so painful that he couldn't breathe at all.

At this moment, Li Ying rushed in holding a bamboo pole on the street, "Let go of me, Brother Han—why is it you?? Are you still alive?"

I saw a man appearing in the darkness, his back was silent and his face was like a Rakshasa, it was the dumb slave who was saved by He Rong and brought back to life.

***

Ying'er stood alone in the Huang's courtyard.Only a few days later, the plum blossoms withered, the cold wind killed, the dead branches wailed, and the once thriving spring seemed to be wiped out overnight.

Rumors of retribution for the Huang family were circulating everywhere in the town.The terrified servants all fled, and what remained were those with nowhere to go.In the morning, the young master and Mr. Han went out together, but they never came back.Everyone guessed that the young master was probably gone.The master stomped his feet anxiously, and sent Uncle Xu to find him quickly.

Ying'er brushed her hair, thinking of her next plan, not only smiled.

This [Yinger] is also a dungeon player, and with her extraordinary acting skills, she eliminated [Aunt Ye] who was blocking the way in one go.Now that the Huang family's backyard is withered and the main seat is empty, as [Ying'er], she will have the opportunity to enter the house immediately and lead the entire Huang family's back house.

The highest place is always the safest. [Ying'er] thought to herself, even if Master Huang dies unfortunately, she can keep herself alive to the end, won't it be easy to get a high ranking.

Ying'er stepped into Master Huang's room with freshly brewed hot tea.I saw that Mr. Huang was sitting at the table, his face was unhappy, and the veins on his forehead were bulging.Ying'er quietly stood beside him and rubbed for him, once and for a while, before the master slowly regained his senses and looked at her.

"It's you……"

Ying'er spread her most charming smile, her downcast eyes revealing her white neck.

"It is I, sir, to serve you."

The master took her by the hand. "Hey... In the end, it's still better for you..." In just a few days, Mr. Huang looked like an old man.Ying'er just let her body stick to Master Huang, comforting softly.

"It's all right, sir. I'll always be with you. With him."

Said, the other hand lightly pressed his flat stomach.

Master Huang opened his eyes wide. "You, you mean...!!??"

"The doctor said it has been three months."

Ying'er looked at Master Huang quietly, and there seemed to be infinite tenderness in her eyes.Master Huang stood up abruptly, his eyes that were dim and cloudy just now were shining brightly.

"Okay! It's really great!! Yinger, you are really a gift from heaven to me!!"

Ying'er covered her mouth and smiled softly, "Where is it?" She pressed her belly, "Look at what you said, what if you are not a young master?"

"It doesn't matter if it's not the young master, you are enough!!"

Master Huang held her shoulder tightly, and Ying'er almost cried out in pain.She faintly felt something was wrong, but she couldn't break free no matter what.

I only heard the master shouting in ecstasy.

"It's all!! It's all here!!!"
