Chapter 136: Manager Liu is injured
There are two prison cells in the county government, and this one is the earliest one.
Because the place was too small and the number of prisoners that could be held was limited, a new cell block that was much larger than this one was built.
As a result, this cell was abandoned. The cell was used to detain prisoners. Although the environment inside was very harsh, its security was very high in order to prevent prisoners from escaping.
A gust of cold wind blew by, and Zhang Wenbin found that he was only wearing a pair of underwear. The thin material made him feel a little cold in the cell. He unconsciously crossed his arms over his chest to keep himself warm.
What should he do? He can't get out. The cell is located in a remote area and is abandoned, so no one usually comes here.
Thinking of this, Zhang Wenbin couldn't help but shudder. If he disappeared, his father would definitely send someone to look for him, but he didn't know when he would find him here.
There is nothing to eat or drink in the cell. If no one comes, he will probably freeze to death or starve to death.
I didn’t dare to think further. Where was Li Jiaojiao? He disappeared in the middle of the night, didn’t Li Jiaojiao notice?
Or maybe she sent someone to capture him here, but he quickly overturned this idea.
Li Jiaojiao had no reason to harm him, so last night's dream was real. When Zhang Wenbin thought of the female ghost in red, he was scared from the bottom of his heart.
The pain in his hands constantly reminded him that all this was real, but how could he get out?
He was in a hurry to get out but couldn't. Zhang Yaozu was looking for him like crazy. He only had this one son and he loved him very much since he was a child. Last night, in the middle of the night, Li Jiaojiao suddenly ran over and said that Zhang Wenbin was missing.
Zhang Yaozu woke up with a start, quickly got dressed and asked her what was going on.
Li Jiaojiao didn't know the details. She felt like someone was watching her while she was sleeping. When she woke up, Zhang Wenbin was gone. She originally thought that he had gone out to get up at night, but he never came back no matter how long she waited.
She called the servant who was on guard outside to go look for him, but the servant came back soon and did not find Zhang Wenbin. Li Jiaojiao immediately had a bad feeling.
He sent more people to look for her, and also looked for her among the other concubines, but still couldn't find her. In desperation, he had to come to Zhang Yaozu.
So the lights in the county government office were on in the middle of the night. At Zhang Yaozu's command, everyone got up and looked for Zhang Wenbin. They searched all the places he might have gone.
Zhang Yaozu knew exactly what Zhang Wenbin did, and wondered if an enemy came to seek revenge on him. However, there were so many guards at the county government office, including one on night watch at the door and Li Jiaojiao in the room.
How did that person get Zhang Wenbin out without anyone noticing?
They searched until dawn but still found no news. Zhang Yaozu ordered people to look outside and search all the brothels and restaurants. If he was kidnapped, the kidnapper should have given him the news if he wanted money.
Zhang Yaozu waited for a whole day but no one came. Seeing Li Jiaojiao crying, he wanted to slap her twice, but he gritted his teeth and endured it.
There was a ghost incident at night and there was no one at the table in the hotel. Manager Liu had a gloomy face and told the waiter to close the door early.
The waiter who had testified against him in court forgot what happened in court after he woke up. Manager Liu didn't believe his nonsense, so he hired someone to beat him up and drove him away.
The current waiter is a little older than that one and looks smarter.
After closing the door of the hall, Manager Liu went to the backyard. Although it was a backyard, it was also a small courtyard with two entrances. Manager Liu lived in the largest room. There were three or four smaller rooms. The new waiter and the cook each lived in one.
Manager Liu's family is not from this place. His children are all in his hometown, and his wife went home for something a few days ago, so he lives alone now.
He always goes to bed early, so he went straight to bed after washing up. Thinking about what Li Xiaoxiao might encounter tomorrow, he fell asleep quickly with a smile on his face.
I was sleeping when I suddenly woke up. It turned out that I was awakened by the urge to pee. I found a piece of clothing to put on, lit the oil lamp, and the dark room suddenly became bright.
He waited until his eyes adjusted to the darkness before walking outside. When he arrived in the yard and looked at the bright moon hanging high in the sky, he estimated that it was already early morning. With the help of the moonlight, Manager Liu walked towards the toilet.
He walked to a corner and suddenly tripped over something, falling heavily to the ground. As luck would have it, there was a piece of broken porcelain where his knees landed.
There was a sharp angle on the porcelain piece. When Manager Liu fell to the ground, his knee hit the angle and he gasped in pain.
He couldn't help but cry out in pain. It was hot in the summer, the clothes were thin, and he fell heavily. Shopkeeper Liu felt severe pain in his knees, and warm liquid flowed out of his knees.
The cry of pain woke up the waiter and the cook, and they hurriedly helped Manager Liu to the room. Looking at the wound on his knee that was bleeding continuously, they asked with concern whether they needed to call a doctor.
Shopkeeper Liu wanted to call a doctor, but how could a doctor come in the middle of the night? He was so unlucky that he fell so badly.
It was finally morning and the waiter called a doctor to bandage Liu's wound. The wound was very deep and he had to stay in bed for three months.
When Manager Liu heard this, he became anxious. If he lay down for three months, the people above Yuelai Restaurant would know about it and would definitely send someone to temporarily replace him. If someone really came, would they replace him directly after seeing the restaurant's current turnover?
I dare not think about it anymore, but if he doesn't take good care of his injury, what if he develops a chronic illness and becomes lame in the future?
Worried about his own injuries, he also asked the waiter if there was any movement outside and the rumors about the restaurant opposite.
The waiter had a puzzled look on his face. The restaurant opposite was operating normally and there was nothing unusual.
Hearing the waiter say this, Shopkeeper Liu was a little confused. This shouldn't be the case. The three of them had a good discussion last night, so something should have come out early this morning. But it's already noon and there's still no news?
"Has Zhang Wenbin been here?" Shopkeeper Liu asked again without giving up.
"There is no shopkeeper. He didn't come today. I didn't hear the rumors about the restaurant opposite, but I heard a piece of news about Zhang Wenbin." The waiter thought for a while and told what he heard on the way to ask the doctor this morning.
"What could possibly happen to him?" Shopkeeper Liu asked doubtfully.
"When I went out this morning, I saw people from the county government looking for Zhang Wenbin. I followed them and heard a few words. It turned out that Zhang Wenbin disappeared last night, and the county magistrate sent people to search all over the county. I wonder if he has been found yet?"
"Oh, there is this matter." Shopkeeper Liu had a bad feeling in his heart.
