Some p...

Chapter 280 Spreading Rumors

Everyone obediently dispersed to find their own goals.

Now, as long as they hold that copper coin in their hands, the people in Worry-Free Town won't be able to see them.

Su Ya and her second brother headed straight to the largest restaurant in Wuyou Town.

Su Ya hadn't been idle for the past few hours. She had already thoroughly investigated all the shops, big and small, in Wuyou Town.

This is the largest restaurant in Wuyou Town, located in the most prosperous area of ​​Wuyou Town. Go up to the second floor, and you can see half of the streetscape of Wuyou Town.

Since ancient times, restaurants have always been the places where all sorts of gossip and scandals are spread. So there must be the result she wants there.

Su Ya and her second brother, Su Linxi, found an empty seat and sat down.

There weren't many people in the restaurant at this time.

There were only a few people in twos and threes.

Before long, I heard two people at the next table chatting.

"Old Zhang, you...you said you saw a ghost yesterday?"

The person speaking was rather plump, around 60 years old, with gray hair, but was in high spirits.

"Shh, keep your voice down."

The man who answered was the "Old Zhang" he had mentioned, and he was around 60 years old. He had gray hair and looked to be in good spirits.

After saying this, the man called Old Zhang quickly looked around. Only when he realized no one was paying attention to them did he continue speaking in a lower voice.

"Keep your voice down, I'm afraid someone will hear."

“Tell me, what are you afraid of in broad daylight? Do you think some ghost can come out and eat you?”

It wasn't dark yet; the sun hadn't completely set.

Old Zhang poured himself a cup of wine from the flask and gulped it down. Perhaps the alcohol emboldened him.

This emboldened Old Zhang.

"No, Old Li. My brother, you've had a tough time. You don't know who I ran into yesterday? I still get chills just thinking about it. My legs start trembling just thinking about it."

Hearing this, Old Li became interested. Despite his age, he loved listening to gossip every day, and then he would tell it to others. He thoroughly enjoyed it.

"Brother, who is it that scared you like this?"

"Brother, if I tell you, can you promise not to tell anyone?"

"Brother, don't you trust my words? What comes out of your mouth goes into my ears. No one else will ever hear it."

"Then, I'll trust you this once, brother."

After saying that, Old Zhang poured himself another glass of wine and downed it in one gulp. It seemed that Old Zhang was indeed quite frightened.

"Brother, do you still remember Miss He's fiancé, Young Master Lin - Lin Mu?"

"I remember. What's wrong, brother? Could it be that the ghost you encountered last night was him?"

"Yes, brother, you guessed right, that's the one I saw yesterday."

After Old Zhang finished speaking, a thin layer of sweat appeared on his forehead.

"Didn't he kill me? I remember you were the one who helped him collect his body."

"Yes, someone found a body in the river and reported it to the authorities. I hadn't seen Lin Mu for several days, and when I went to his house, I found that no one had been there for days. When I heard that a body had been found by the river, I rushed over in a panic. I still remember what he looked like when we pulled him out of the river. His whole body was swollen, and his lips were blue. He even had a smile on his face. I was so scared that I chanted 'Amitabha Buddha' a lot before I dared to touch his body."

"So, if you're saying that, are you sure that what you saw yesterday was him?"

"Yeah, it's scary, isn't it? I personally pulled him out of the water and buried him myself. When I saw him yesterday, he was completely unharmed. Just like a normal person."

"That's strange. This shouldn't be happening."

"Don't even mention it, I'm so scared I don't dare go home today."

"Brother, you must remember to keep it a secret."

Suya and the others stopped listening after that; she knew this was the director giving them a new clue.

"Second brother, I'm leaving."

"good."

Su Ya and her second brother stopped at the corner outside the restaurant.

Sure enough, after a while, Old Zhang from before came out of the restaurant in a panic.

He walked very quickly, as if someone was chasing him. Old Li, who had been chatting with him earlier, didn't come out; instead, he waited until Old Zhang left before starting a conversation with another person.

Su Ya and the others followed Old Zhang at a leisurely pace, always keeping a distance of about two steps from him.

When Old Zhang arrived at an abandoned house, it looked dilapidated and had been uninhabited for a long time, with one of the gates rickety.

Old Zhang looked around and, finding no one following him, pushed open the door, revealing a dilapidated courtyard.

Old Zhang walked straight to one of the doors and knocked.

Thump thump thump. Thump thump thump, thump thump thump thump.

"Three, three, five" seems to be their secret code for meeting.

After he finished knocking, the door was opened from the inside, and Su Ya and her second brother followed and stood outside the room.

Soon, a conversation could be heard coming from inside the door.

"Young Master Lin, do you think those people will believe us if we say that?"

"How many people have you contacted today?"

The person called Young Master Lin did not answer.

"This is the sixth person. They're all from Worry-Free Town who love to gossip about family matters."

"Don't worry, these people are afraid of ghosts and monsters. Once they believe us, we can leave."

"The He family has been sending people frantically to look for Miss He lately. It's going to be difficult for you to get out."

"It'll be soon. Once she gives birth, I'll find a way to get them away from here."

Upon hearing this, Suya knew that the story was nearing its end.

Suya did not appear.

Waiting for Old Zhang to leave.

It seems that Young Master Lin is talking to someone inside?

There were also some arguments.

Judging from the subtle sounds, she was arguing with a woman.

It seems this is indeed Miss He.

At this moment, the second brother, Su Linxi, also realized what was going on when he heard the name of Young Master Lin.

He gently touched his sister and whispered, "Sister, the person we're looking for is inside."

"right."

"So, what should we do next?"

Su Ya leaned close to her second brother Su Linxi's ear and whispered something.

I saw my second brother nodding repeatedly.

He spoke after a while.

"Okay, let's do it that way. Sister, you stay away."

Su Ya walked a little further away, and her second brother, Su Linxi, took out the copper coins from his person and threw them on the ground. About a third of the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the people from the He family arrived. Leading them was none other than the He family.

"What? You've found my young lady?"

"It's inside."

Suya looked around the room.

The officials of the He family sent someone to knock on the door.

Then I saw Young Master Lin come out.

The person knocking on the door looked like they'd seen a ghost and shouted, "Shout! Ghost! Ghost! Don't catch me! Don't catch me!"

The person immediately ran out and disappeared in a flash.

When the others heard about the ghost, they were also terrified and ran away.

This was Lin Gongzi's real purpose in having Old Zhang spread the word about yesterday's ghost encounter.
