Chapter 28 The Haunted House

The big house is now a veritable haunted house.

Seventeen people died in one place, haunted by the ghosts of grievances. It's not a haunted house but a haunted house.

But for Li Po, the smell in the room was much stronger than that night.

The house was naturally in a mess, and he also deliberately made it bloody that day, so large areas of dried blood still remained everywhere in the house.

However, the smell in the room is very refreshing, with only a faint musty smell, which should be the normal smell of a room.

Two refugees in their thirties shrank into the house. This was their normal posture, which fully demonstrated their humble status.

Of course, there is still some fear mixed in now. Maybe, without Li Po to lead them, they would rather go back to live in their own thatched cottage than stay here for even a moment longer.

Li Chun was not much better. Where Buddhism was popular, the theory of ghosts and monsters had long been deeply rooted in people's hearts. Without these, the Buddhas would not be able to show their light.

The child clutched Li Po's sleeves tightly, wishing he could pull his tattered sleeves off completely.

"Brother...Why did eldest brother choose this room? If someone comes to claim his life..."

Ever since he learned that his eldest brother had chosen this room, all the joy had disappeared. He didn't know how many times he had whispered this in Li Po's ears.

Bang, Li Chun got hit on the head.

"What's scary about ghosts? What's scary is people... Let's move in here, even if it's a ghost, we have to make room for him."

In fact, Li Po wanted this big house not only because it was large enough and had a yard behind it, but also because he wanted to see how capable the tax collector was.

Unexpectedly, they gave me the right words last night. This can only show that even though they are looking at the city gate now, they are different from those of Yuchi, Luo San and Liu Wuchang.

The size of power is always measured by how much it can accomplish.

A murder case just happened here, and within a few days of the case being settled, people were able to move people in. This is what they are capable of. I don’t know how tough they are.

However, Li Po didn't think too much. Now he couldn't think too much, he could only take one step at a time.

"Clean up and pick up all the people who can't stand it. It can't be empty there. Whoever comes over and who stays behind, you decide among yourselves. Anyway, with this place, everyone can survive..."

.”

Upon hearing this, the eyes of the other two men immediately turned red.

No nonsense, let’s get to work.

As a result, in the eyes of the people in Mayi City, this lifeless and sinister big house began to become lively again.

Originally, many people still wanted to watch the fun and estimated how soon someone would come over, drag out these bold beggars, beat them up, and then take them away to be punished.

I didn’t want to, and no one cared about it until night.

Some asked the two city inspectors, and some asked the people to sign the signatures. The answers they got were all general. The owner of the big house changed. Who did it change and what was the origin? You can ask yourself.

In fact, these small officials who manage the city are also surprised that someone with such great ability can take advantage of other people's wealth after such a bloody case has just been concluded.

Of course, this is not unusual.

The crime Zhang Dalang was convicted of was not a small one, and all his family's property was confiscated.

It is normal to take over the property of criminals from the government. Maybe, some time later, the family members of Zhang Dalang and others will also appear in the market.

Of course, this time they themselves became commercial goods.

What continued to be surprising was that the refugees from the nearby refugee camp began to enter the market sparsely, and came directly to the big house. The children cried and the adults shouted, turning the big house into a scene of a people's market.

At first, some people speculated that some kind person in the city had bought the big house to show sympathy for the refugees and let them live here temporarily, and at the same time, it also eliminated the evil atmosphere in the house.

Even those who are darker think that in a short time, these refugees will become the human sheep of this business.

However, no matter what others think, this room and the yard behind it are occupied by refugees.

The big house has been tidied up, and all the more than ten rooms have residents. Together with the few houses at the back, it is enough to accommodate the people in the refugee camp.

It's just that there are still people living in those thatched houses in the camp.

At this time, the refugees no longer care about whether it is a dangerous house or not. The weather is getting colder and colder. At such a time, they can have a place to live and keep out the strong cold wind. For them, even if

It’s hell, but I can still break through it...

After the people were settled for a while, Li Po rushed them to start boiling hot water because the smell in the room began to become turbid again.

Although Li Po has always smelled bad and has long been accustomed to this smell, the situation is different now. Li Po thinks that he should pursue the quality of life a little bit.

Take a shower and wash your clothes, no matter how ragged they are, they should be kept clean.

On this day, the refugees did almost nothing else. They poured sewage into one basin after another. Fortunately, they didn't ask for money to drink water these days. Otherwise, just this day's water consumption could send Li Po to jail.

At noon, continue to get porridge.

Nowadays, how to solve the problem of food has become the biggest problem facing Li Po.

I still have to ask for help, there is no other way, I am broke, it is difficult.

At noon that day, Li Po led Li Chun and ordered a bowl of porridge. In the eyes of the few servants who served the porridge, they were sitting not far from the porridge pot as usual, warming themselves over the fire and drinking porridge.

, you can get another bowl.

He has been enjoying this kind of special treatment for some time.

But today, after finishing his porridge, Li Po approached a clerk and said with a smile: "Brother Zhang, thank you for your hard work."

This Zhang Er is a small boss here, a warehouse official in the granary.

Not only was he responsible for taking care of a warehouse in Beicheng, after the refugee camp was built, he would also provide porridge here and submit the accounts. He was also responsible for assisting the officers and soldiers and taking care of the refugee camp.

However, there are few refugees here in Beicheng, and they are most peaceful. He has never entered a refugee camp once.

This was thanks to Li Po, so when Luo San found him, he reluctantly began to take care of Li Po. Until now, he can turn a blind eye to some of Li Po's outrageous behaviors.

In fact, Li Po, a small refugee, was very unique in the eyes of the tax collector, and the same was true in the eyes of this little porridge-giving official...
