Chapter 222 The Underground Sacrifice
The compartment was small and dark, and there was nothing superfluous in it, only the statue of the god on the table.

The idol looks very strange, it doesn't look like a human, but an animal that looks like a tiger and a cow.

The animal was carved lifelike, its body was snow-white, its hair stood upright like a hedgehog, and it had a pair of jet-black wings on its back, growing on the snow-white hair, making it look even weirder.

"My lord, they're making trouble again, but don't worry, I'll take care of it this time, and I won't suspend the project!"

Zhao Guichuan knelt in front of the statue, bowed deeply to the statue, kowtowed three times in a row, with an extremely respectful expression.

"Accidents happen so often that money may not be able to fully solve them."

As soon as Zhao Guichuan finished speaking, a deep male voice came from above.

Hearing the sound, he looked up, and saw the motionless statue opened its mouth to speak as if it had come to life.

"My lord! It can't be solved because there is not enough money. Everyone in the world loves money. If they make trouble, I will use money to make them shut up. I will definitely not destroy your plan!"

If another person saw the statue opening his mouth to speak here, he would have been scared and screamed and ran away, but Zhao Guichuan got used to it and started talking to him instead.

More than 20 years ago, he was not the boss of Haichuan Company, but just like the people below, he was just a humble brick mover.

One day when I was working, I accidentally dug up this baby-sized statue. Because the statue was well preserved and the carving was as lifelike as a handicraft, I secretly hid it and took it home, wondering if I could sell it for some money.

Unexpectedly, in the middle of the night after taking it home, the idol actually spoke!
Zhao Guichuan, who was only in his 20s at the time, was so frightened that he ran away. As a result, the doors and windows of his house were automatically locked, making it impossible to escape.

Zhao Guichuan often listened to ghost stories told by old people since he was a child, and felt that he had offended a ghost possessed by an antique, and he would not survive.

Unexpectedly, the statue didn't hurt him, but told him that as long as he enshrined it, he would be promoted step by step and get rich.

Zhao Guichuan, who was so poor that he couldn't even afford a wife, was moved, so he found a "sacrifice" and enshrined a statue of the god as promised.

This enshrining has lasted for more than 20 years, and he has already transformed from a low-level worker to the president of a large company, with assets worth hundreds of millions.

It's easy to use some of these hundreds of millions of assets to silence these people. As long as this matter is over, he and the adults can go one step further and get a higher status and income!

"Life is more important than money. Those who died can pay compensation to their families, but the surviving workers are unwilling to work for you."

The statue stretched out its claws while talking, pointing a little forward, the air in front of it twisted, and the picture downstairs at this time appeared like a screen.

"Everyone, stop making trouble. This accident was an accident. Mr. Zhao said that each of the dead will be paid 200 million yuan in compensation, and the wages of the others will be increased by four times as much as in the contract!"

In the picture, Ye Cheng, who came to Zhao Guichuan's office just now, hurried to the construction site wearing a helmet, and comforted and promised to the workers and their families who were making trouble inside and outside.

At the same time, I asked my assistant to go up and greet a few reporters, and signaled that I would also give them money so that they would not film and report today's events.

"Accident? You also said it was an accident last time, but this accident is too much!"

"That's right! No matter how much you pay, we won't be able to take it if there are too many accidents!"

"I just got married and the child is still in the womb of my mother-in-law. Should I die and let the mother-in-law and the child live with other men with money?!"

"This 'accident' must be investigated! Otherwise, we will quit!"

"Yes! Even if the salary is five times, six times or even ten times, we will not do it!!"

"..."

As soon as Ye Cheng's words came out, half of the family members quieted down, but the workers refused to give up, holding shovels and other tools in their hands, making the noise even worse!
Once or twice is an accident, but three or four times is very suspicious!

It is true that they work so hard for money, and it is impossible to ask for so many times their wages in the past, but the premise of these is that they have to live to enjoy them!
Manager Ye and Mr. Zhao used money to appease them every time. Maybe they were responsible for these accidents. Otherwise, why would they use money to stop their mouths in a way of losing money?

"Could it be that you deliberately harmed us? Take the dead workers as sacrifices and offer them to ghosts and gods to accomplish your great cause?!"

Many of the workers are from rural areas, and their education is not high, and most of them are superstitious.

Thinking of the frequent accidents and Ye Cheng's attitude during this period, he couldn't stop thinking about ghosts and gods.

Similar to the flood in the village in ancient times, the villagers asked someone to sacrifice to the water dragon king to quell the disaster and make the village smooth. They are likely to be "sacrificed people" too!
"What are you thinking? It's the 21st century now, where did these feudal ideas come from?!"

"Mr. Zhao just doesn't want the company to lose its reputation because of this project. It won't receive big orders in the future. It's a small loss that makes a big deal. It's also a pity for your low-level workers, so we process money and add compensation!"

Ye Cheng didn't expect the workers to have such thoughts, and immediately denied it with a sullen face.

"Manager Ye, if these accidents are really accidents, why don't you ask a Taoist priest to take a look? When I was young, I heard from the old people in the village that accidents in one place may be caused by ghosts or something!"

"It's very possible that this piece of land has been deserted for a long time. Maybe there are ghosts or mountain gods. Someone should come and see it!"

"Manager Ye, go back and tell Mr. Zhao that we don't need to raise wages, but our safety must be guaranteed. If we don't invite people to come and see us, we won't do it!"

"Yes, quit! Have money but not life!"

"..."

When one person took the lead, the others joined in and clamored. The entire construction site was noisy, causing passing cars to stop and look inside.

"You can't invite Taoist priests, as soon as Taoist priests come, they will definitely discover the secrets under the ground!"

Zhao Guichuan in the cubicle saw the whole process of the workers making trouble through the image captured by the statue, and when he heard them say that they wanted to invite Taoist priests, his expression changed instantly and he couldn't help but speak out.

These workers guessed half right. This project was indeed a pavement for him and the adults to cooperate for a higher status and achievement in the future, but they were not qualified to be sacrifices.

There have been frequent accidents on the construction site recently, but the resentment emanating from the "sacrifices" who were killed before was too strong, which led to the instability of the construction site's magnetic field, and accidents always happened.

If Taoist priests or monks were really invited to watch as these people wished, the secret about the "sacrifice" might not be hidden!
