The evil sister-in-law dressed as a yandere boss

Chapter 164 They are monsters

Li Hui suspected that the construction of the canal was obviously man-made, so he took several families of the victims to the quarry, and the quarry temporarily stopped working.

Pei Zhan and Tao Zhen got up early and took Pei Heng to the academy together.

After sending Pei Heng into the academy, the two went to the agreed place to find Jiang Er.

On the way, Pei Zhan said, "If it were two cows, wouldn't they be able to roast them?"

Tao Zhen said: "I'll pay the money first, and they will help keep it for two more days. We will build an extra oven as soon as possible."

Pei Zhan said: "It's too conspicuous in the city."

Tao Zhen thought it was true, and the yard was not big and there were people around it, so it was indeed a bit eye-catching.

"You can find a house on the outskirts of the city. It's best if there are no neighbors around. Then you can build a few more ovens." Pei Zhan had made the arrangements clearly.

Tao Zhen agreed very much.

They soon met Jiang Er, who didn't look too good. Tao Zhen gave him half of the money and agreed to come over to pull beef in three days.

Jiang Er nodded and glanced at Pei Zhan before leaving. Pei Zhan smiled at him.

After that, the troops were divided into two groups. Pei Zhan went to rent a house, and Tao Zhen brought the clothes to Yun Sanniang.

Tao Zhen put on the clothes and showed them around. Yun Sanniang was very satisfied. She knew many embroiderers and she could make clothes very quickly according to this standard.

Before leaving, Tao Zhen suddenly thought of something and whispered something in Yun Sanniang's ear. Yun Sanniang was startled for a moment, then smiled: "This is a great idea. Let's see if I can make him mad this time."

After finishing these things, she went to find the mason from last time. Because there was a lot of work, the mason also brought one of his apprentices.

Tao Zhen also knew Pei Zhan somewhat. Since he suggested it in the morning, it proved that this man already had an idea in mind, and maybe he had already scouted the house.

Tao Zhen's guess was good. Pei Zhan had indeed chosen the house for a long time.

When they led the mason to the door of the house they were looking at, the mason's face was ashen and he looked at Pei Zhan and Tao Zhen as if they were ghosts: "You...you really want to live here?"

Tao Zhen was surprised: "Is there anything wrong with this house?"

This house is in the north of the city, close to the city gate. It is very secluded and looks a little dilapidated. There are several houses around it that are also unoccupied, so no one will notice what you do.

From what the mason said, there seems to be something wrong with this house.

The mason said: "If you want to make ovens in this area, find someone else." He said and left.

Tao Zhen grabbed him and said, "If you stay, do you think it's okay if I pay double the price?"

The mason hesitated.

Tao Zhen said: "Just stay here for the whole day and leave at night. Even if there is any problem with this house, it will not affect you."

She paused and said, "Three times the price. If it doesn't work, I'll find someone else."

The young apprentice also pulled the mason.

For the sake of money, the mason agreed. He looked at Tao Zhen and then looked at Pei Zhan strangely.

Pei Zhan was a little funny: "You just work, do you want to see what I do?"

The mason was a middle-aged man in his 40s, dark and thin. He said suspiciously: "I have lived for half my life, and I have never seen you look like this, and you are still standing here..."

The young apprentice asked in confusion: "Master, is there something wrong here?"

The mason whispered: "The Yang Mansion is next door to this house."

"What happened to Yang's house?" The young apprentice was still puzzled.

The mason took a look around. The house looked very old, but it was not deserted. It was obviously cleaned regularly. There was a large house next door. The door was closed and the red paint door was mottled. It looked like it had been there for a long time. No one lived there anymore, and the sky was bright and sunny, but when the mason said this, it seemed a bit scary.

Tao Zhen glanced at Pei Zhan. In fact, even if the mason didn't tell her, she had guessed that there must be a haunted house next door, so no one lived around it, and the area was desolate.

Let alone roast beef jerky, even if you raise a few cows, no one will know about it.

Pei Zhan is really good at choosing places.

It's such a weird and gloomy place, and Pei Zhan looks like that, so he would be regarded as a ghost.

Hahahahahahahaha... Tao Zhen wanted to laugh.

The mason didn't want to stay here at all, and worked very quickly, almost non-stop. In the afternoon, two of his apprentices built the oven.

Tao Zhen paid their wages and told them not to talk nonsense when they went out.

The mason nodded and walked quickly.

The young apprentice was finally able to say what he had been holding back for a whole day: "Master, what's going on? Why are you so scared?"

The mason walked a few steps quickly until he could no longer see the house before he said, "Do you know about Yang's house?"

The young apprentice doesn’t know.

"The one who killed more than a dozen people..."

The young apprentice's face changed, and his voice was a little trembling: "Yes...it's the one from a few years ago..."

The mason nodded: "Let's go quickly."

The young apprentice followed quickly, and the mason said mysteriously: "I think something is not right about this couple. How long have we been here in Ningzhou? What kind of men have you seen who look like that?"

The young apprentice recalled that Pei Zhan's appearance was indeed stunning, but if he looked like this, there was nothing wrong with him, right?

"It's just that she looks good..."

"Can a good-looking person be a human being? Are people that good-looking? Those are all fairies and ghosts that come out to suck people's essence..."

The young apprentice wasn't very scared at first, but when his master said this, he suddenly felt chills running down his spine. Thinking of the way Pei Zhan looked at him, the more he thought about it, the weirder he felt.

"Then...then why did they build the oven?" the young apprentice asked tremblingly.

The bricklayer said enigmatically: "Maybe it's a furnace for roasting people. It's such a big stove..."

The little apprentice was frightened.

...

The house had been unoccupied for a long time. Tao Zhen and Pei Zhan simply tidied it up. It was almost time, so they went to the academy to pick up Pei Heng.

Pei Heng was also very happy to see Pei Zhan and ran over to hold his legs and act coquettishly.

Pei Zhan touched his head.

On the way, Tao Zhen asked, "How did you find this house?"

Pei Zhan also heard what the people at the quarry said. Everyone would always tell interesting stories they heard when they had nothing to do.

This haunted house played an important role in Ningzhou City. It is said that it was so haunted back then that except for the Yang family, which was wiped out, all the other residents moved away after less than a year, leaving the place deserted.

This incident was a big deal at that time, and even the government was alerted.

Tao Zhen frowned: "Aren't you afraid of a house like this?"

Pei Zhan smiled: "Afraid of ghosts?"

He paused: "I don't believe there are ghosts in this world."

Tao Zhen thought: There is one standing in front of you.

Although Tao Zhen used to be a ghost, she is still afraid of ghosts, but she is even more afraid of poverty.

Pei Zhan saw that she didn't look good, so he said, "There are no ghosts in this world. There are people who are pretending to be ghosts."

Tao Zhen doesn't think so.

She has practiced it herself, and there are really ghosts in this world.

She is!

"What happened in that house?" Tao Zhen asked casually while he was still idle.
