Royal Gold Medal County Magistrate

Hearing Fang Zheng's urging, Xie Xian suddenly looked embarrassed.

He walked up to him and whispered, "Sir, what about the people you brought?"

Fang Zheng suddenly realized.

He forgot that the themed rooms were all arranged, each with a designated spot.

Today, he brought the Crown Prince and a group of reporters, and there was no place to arrange for them.

So he got up, cupped his fist at Xie Xian, and said, "It was my oversight. The Wind and Flower House is by invitation only."

"Today, I brought so many friends uninvited, I apologize for the disturbance, and I hope Shopkeeper Xie will forgive me."

Many people, seeing Fang Zheng so easy to talk to, were completely relieved.

It seemed that this new official was alright, not as upright and inflexible as they had imagined!

Easy to talk to, and seemed to know how to have fun!

"Zhang Biao, take the others and leave!"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Biao immediately got up to take the reporters away, and the reporters also got up one after another.

Only Li Yuanzhao remained seated, looking at Fang Zheng in confusion.

Didn't he say he would take them out to have fun? Was he kicking them out after dinner?

Fang Zheng glanced at Li Yuanzhao indifferently.

There would be plenty of time to play in the future, next time for sure!

The two of them finished communicating in a flash of thought.

Li Yuanzhao silently got up and followed Zhang Biao out.

Fang Zheng looked at Li Yuanzhao's back and shook his head helplessly.

A second-dimensional enthusiast still wants to play in the themed rooms?

At this age, he doesn't know what fatigue is, he could play himself to death!

If he could keep him away, he wouldn't let him touch it.

This kid doesn't even have a son or anything, if he ruins his health, how am I going to explain it to the Emperor?

Seeing that everyone had left, Fang Zheng turned to Xie Xian and said, "Alright, now that all irrelevant people have left, Shopkeeper Xie can make the arrangements."

Xie Xian immediately said loudly, "Everyone! Tonight, Master Wu has prepared a special surprise for everyone! Each one is different!"

"In a moment, when you enter the rooms, if you discover anything, please do not scream, so as not to disturb others!"

Hearing this, everyone's eyes turned green!

Everyone here has seen it all and eaten it all, if you say that, I'm not sleepy anymore!

Even scream? At this age, what haven't I seen? I'd like to see how you can make me scream!

Xie Xian raised his hands and said, "Everyone, please stay seated. Someone will take you to your respective rooms. I wish you all a happy time!"

After speaking, he waved his hands downwards, and a dozen maids trotted out from the side, each holding a black cloth.

They walked up to the people, blindfolded them with the black cloth, and then led the blindfolded people straight upstairs.

The heads of the Sun and Wang families were extremely flustered, and when they saw the maids blindfolding them, they quickly tried to block with their hands.

However, the maids were very quick, and Wang Qixun, the head of the Wang family, had already been blindfolded, taken by the hand, and led away.

Fortunately, Sun Jiacheng, the head of the Sun family, was even faster, grabbing the black cloth and looking at Fang Zheng with a pleading look.

Seeing this, Xie Xian quickly waved his hand to stop the movement.

Everyone else was blindfolded and led into the rooms. At this time, only Xie Xian, Fang Zheng, Sun Jiacheng, and a few maids were left in the hall.

Fang Zheng walked up to Sun Jiacheng, looked into his eyes, and said lightly, "What... Master Sun, don't you want to go upstairs? You can leave if you don't want to."

Sun Jiacheng said tremblingly, "Yes, I want to! Master Fang, will... will there be any danger?"

"Heh, if I wanted to harm you, would I need to play so many tricks? Go up with peace of mind, don't worry!"

After speaking, he waved his hand, and a maid stepped forward, blindfolded Sun Jiacheng, and led him upstairs.

Seeing that everyone had gone upstairs, Fang Zheng asked Xie Xian, "How is it? Have the rooms all been arranged?"

Xie Xian smiled and said, "Don't worry, sir, the staff have already been trained, and medicine has been added to the tea."

"What medicine? Don't let there be any side effects that will harm people?"

Side effects? Xie Xian pondered the word for a moment and quickly realized what he meant.

"There will definitely be no problems! That medicine is used to breed donkeys in our county, it's especially effective! It's been used for many years, and there are absolutely no side effects."

"Moreover, it has already been diluted with water. We've all tried it ourselves, even in small amounts!"

"That's good...."

..............

Sun Jiacheng's eyes were blindfolded.

Although what Fang Zheng said made sense, that he didn't need to go to so much trouble to kill him, he was still panicked in his heart. Fortunately, the maid's soft little hand was always holding his hand, which reduced his panic a lot.

Sun Jiacheng silently counted his steps in his heart, remembering the direction.

He didn't walk for long, only about one floor up, before stopping.

He heard the maid's gentle voice beside his ear: "In a moment, I will help you untie the blindfold. Please do not scream after entering the room."

After speaking, she gently pushed Sun Jiacheng forward. He took a step forward and almost tripped on the threshold, but fortunately the maid supported him.

Sun Jiacheng's heart started beating wildly again.

Then he felt someone untying the knot behind his head. The moment it was untied, Sun Jiacheng immediately turned his head.

As a result, what greeted him was a pair of large doors.

The doors slammed shut with a "bang", and the sound of the door being locked came from outside.

Sun Jiacheng swallowed a mouthful of saliva and slowly turned his head.

This turn of the head was terrible! The scene he saw in front of him immediately made his soul fly out of his body!

In the dim room, only a few candles were lit, and the lampshades were actually made of green paper!

This made the light in the room particularly eerie!

And in front of him was a mourning hall!

Incense candles and paper money were scattered all over the ground, and a coffin was placed squarely in the center of the room. In front of the coffin knelt a petite woman.

At the end of the room was a large [Mourning] character, complete with white cloth curtains.

But what frightened him the most was under the [Mourning] character, where a bright picture frame was hanging!

In the picture frame, a person's upper body was painted lifelike, but that person had no facial features!

A faceless man!

Sun Jiacheng was so frightened by this scene that he couldn't breathe.

His pupils shrank, and his lips trembled...

"This... what is this, someone! Someone!! I want to get out!!"

"Ghost! There's a ghost!! Ah!!"

Sun Jiacheng screamed, immediately turned around, and frantically began smashing the door.

Seeing that he couldn't open it with his fists, he started using his hands and feet, and the door was banging loudly.

Damn it! Idiot!

The woman in front of the coffin frowned, then revealed a professional expression and slowly turned her head to look at Sun Jiacheng.

She said resentfully, "Sir! Please stop knocking..."

Hearing this, Sun Jiacheng stiffly turned around to look at the woman, and saw that the woman had a pretty face, but a tearful expression.

"I... I'm not a ghost."

"May I ask, are you here to pay respects to my late husband? If so, please have a cup of tea and offer three sticks of incense to my late husband, and then you can leave. I thank you on behalf of my late husband."

Drink tea, offer incense, and then you can leave!?

Sun Jiacheng's throat moved up and down, and he stiffly walked over and knelt down a little away from the woman.

He asked in a trembling voice, "Is... I'm here to offer incense. Can I leave after I'm done?"

"Mm," the woman replied softly.

Then she picked up the teapot and poured a cup of hot tea...
