Eat in Song Dynasty

Chapter 478 Welcoming the "Ghost Building"

Han Bangli didn't know if he was provoked or not, but he wanted to kill Liu Zhang and others immediately.

Fortunately, his followers were still sober, "Sir, it's daytime now, and sinking the river will attract the attention of passers-by."

Hearing this, Han Bangli's agitated aura gradually calmed down.

After a moment, he showed a cruel smile, "Then cut off his tongue first, then cut the tendons of his hands and feet, and then tie stones to it and sink it at night."

The follower paused for a second before responding yes.

At this time, another person came in from outside and said respectfully: "Second Master, the master is looking for you."

"Got it." Han Bangli turned around and said to the follower, "Keep an eye on this place. Make sure it's resolved before tomorrow. If there's any problem, your family will go down instead."

After saying this, he turned around and left leisurely, turning a deaf ear to the scolding and shouting from Liu Zhang and others behind him.

"This is a madman!"

Seeing the door of the secret room closed and Han Bangli's subordinates went to the corner to get a knife, Liu Sheng's heart trembled.

Everyone is afraid of death, let alone such a tragic death!

"Boss, are we really going to die here?" Liu Sheng asked unwillingly.

A real man should die on the battlefield, not under this dark river.

"What else can we do? Who else can save us?" Cao Fei was actually very scared, but who else could save them right now? "The news sent by carrier pigeons two days ago was all normal. I'm afraid the palace doesn't know anything about us."

"No, it's been two days since the last message was sent. If they haven't received our message today, the palace will definitely find out."

Liu Sheng suddenly reacted, and a few lights flashed in his eyes.

"It's useless." Liu Zhang was not as optimistic as him. "What if the palace finds out?"

The capital city is hundreds of miles away from here, and if no information is received in one day, it may not be enough to attract the attention of the palace.

When you are away on business, it is normal for news to be delayed by one or two days.

Even if the palace discovered it and sent people out to investigate, I'm afraid they wouldn't be able to rescue them in time.

Because the person on the opposite side is coming with a dagger.

"I'm sorry, everyone!" The attendant squatted down in front of them. "Every wrong has its perpetrator, every debt has its creditor, I'm just following orders."

As soon as he finished speaking, the dagger in his hand stabbed towards Liu Zhang's ankle.

"Bang" in a flash, Liu Zhang pounced on the other party.

Although he knew that this action might not change anything, the human instinct for survival still made him unable to sit still and wait for death.

"Go, go quickly!" He used his tall body to press down the man holding the dagger, trying to buy a chance of life for the others.

Upon hearing this, Liu Sheng and others immediately ran out of the door as fast as they could.

However, they had taken a muscle-softening powder and fell to the ground before they could take two steps.

The man was no pushover either. After he came to his senses, he pushed Liu Zhang to the ground and stabbed him in the abdomen with the dagger in his hand.

Sure enough, struggling is useless!

They couldn't escape and no one came to rescue them.

There was despair in the eyes of several people.

After stabbing Liu Zhang, the man turned around and walked in front of Liu Sheng and others.

At this time, several people had not yet climbed to the door of the secret room.

Seeing the man approaching, several people looked at each other. When the other party was about to walk towards Cao Fei with a knife, Liu Sheng on the left seized the opportunity and stretched out his leg to trip him.

At the same time, Li Ming on the right kicked him tacitly.

The man tripped and fell, and his head hit the blue brick wall directly, and a big bump immediately appeared on his forehead.

"Looking for death!" His blood was aroused, the man pulled out a long whip from his waist and swung it at several people.

"Snap!" The moment the whip fell, the door of the secret room was suddenly pushed open from the outside.

The light came in, and a person who looked like a woman was standing at the door against the light. Her face was covered and her appearance could not be seen clearly.

"Who?" The subordinate who was beating the man stopped.

The woman said nothing, but stepped forward and snatched the whip from the other person. Then everyone felt dizzy and immediately lost consciousness.

At the same time, in the Han family's flower hall.

"I heard that you captured a few imperial guards?" Han Bangli was questioned by his father as soon as he entered. Looking at Han Banghua sitting on a wooden chair next to him, he couldn't help but be curious, "What happened to my third brother?"

"Answer me first, did you capture those imperial guards?" Lord Han asked.

Han Bangli's face became serious: "Yes."

Hearing this, Lord Han was so angry that he sat up from his chair and shouted sternly: "Nonsense, you can't move the imperial guards."

"Dad, why would the imperial guards leave the palace at this time of year? I'm afraid there's something fishy going on."

His tone was unclear, and his eyes occasionally glanced at Han Banghua next to him.

"Tell me, your third brother is not an outsider either."

Han Bangli was silent for a moment, then said, "There have been rumors in the palace that the emperor has sent imperial envoys to secretly investigate the officials. I'm afraid they showed up at this time just to target our business."

"What business?" Han Banghua asked.

Could it be the shameful secret in the reception building?

"Don't ask this."

Although he is his own son, Lord Han still has some distrust towards this good-for-nothing third son who only knows how to eat, drink and have fun every day.

"So what did you find out?"

"No." Han Bangli shook his head. "He was very stubborn. He was detained for several days and tortured. But he insisted that he was protecting a young lady who was going back to her hometown to visit her relatives. But how could an ordinary young lady be worthy of being escorted by the imperial guards? I'm afraid he still has no solution."

"Did that person deal with it?"

"Not yet. I want to wait until night to do it. After all, it will attract attention during the day."

Lord Han nodded and said, "Now that things have come to this, let's deal with it cleanly and don't let anyone catch us with anything."

Han Bangli nodded to show that he understood.

At this time, he looked at Han Banghua again, "What happened to your leg, third brother? Is it injured?"

"Poisoned? That young lady did it." Lord Han said.

Speaking of this, he actually believed what the second brother said. How could an ordinary young lady poison someone and sneak into a guarded mansion in the middle of the night?

"Isn't she in jail?" Han Bangli was surprised.

"He ran away last night."

"What? Oh no!" Han Bangli remembered something, lifted his robe and ran outside.

"Where are you going?" Lord Han stood up and asked.

"The reception building."

Lord Han stood there for a moment before reacting and hurried to the government office to call for help.

But when the father and son arrived at the reception building, fortunately Xuan did not faint.

It’s empty, the whole building is empty!
In the lobby, the tables, chairs and benches are gone!
In the private room, the bed and calligraphy and paintings are gone!
In the kitchen, all movable objects, including fruits, vegetables, rice, flour, grains, oil, pots, pans, and bowls, were looted.

The entire building, from the waiter to the shopkeeper, was missing! Not to mention the imperial guards in the secret room.

What made them even more frightened was that the cargo ships under the river and the things on them were also gone!
No more, nothing more!

This bizarre scene made the Han father and son stand there in shock, unable to recover for a long time.

Even to catch the murderer, I don't know who to catch
Capture that young lady? At most, she can rescue those people in the secret room.

Did the imperial envoy come secretly? It's possible to move the goods, but it's impossible to loot the kitchen.

Could it be that the waiters and the shopkeeper colluded with each other and robbed the company?
Moved the tables, chairs and kitchen items from the building?

But after asking around, the locals all said that they had not seen any carriages or horses parked near the restaurant in the past few hours.

Weird, so weird!
Is it possible that I am seeing a ghost in broad daylight?

Thinking of this, the Han father and son couldn't help but get goosebumps all over their bodies.

After such a horrifying incident, the Yingbin Building had to close down and no one within a ten-mile radius dared to approach.

Since then, the Yingbin Building has been called the "Ghost Building" by the people of Haozhou City.

This incident was even recorded in the local annals and became an eternal mystery.
