Although encountering such a hard bone made Wang Junlin feel a little troublesome, it also proved from the side that the secret ledger he wanted was hidden in this sledgehammer iron shop.

"It's good that I prepared some things in advance. Someone, bring in some of the torture instruments I have prepared. ”

"Yes!" The four guards brought by Wang Junlin were outside, and the inside of the iron shop were all marquis, and one of the guards outside the window said yes, and soon brought in a set of fresh things made of tree trunks, branches, leather cords, arrowroot, and iron nails.

"See!" Kicking a few wooden sticks with bark, Wang Junlin said lightly: "This thing is called a clamping stick, it will be clamped on your thigh for a while, and then twist a few leather strings next to it hard." And then pick up this thick ......."

At this point, he paused, picked up a bowl of trunk with his foot, and wandered his gaze back and forth under the other's calf, as if a butcher was picking the best place to cut the knife, and then continued: "Use it again to hit your ankle bone." While clipping, while knocking, that taste, tsk, keep you for the rest of your life will never forget! ”

"Come on!" After the shopkeeper of the sledgehammer iron shop was gone, his face turned pale with fright and trembled, but he gritted his teeth and refused to flinch, and said fiercely: "It's a big deal to give you this life." I don't believe that there is anything worse in this world than death! ”

"In a moment, you will understand that there are more painful things in this world than death!" Wang Junlin snorted coldly, and said in a cold voice: "Don't be in a hurry to make a conclusion first, listen to me introduce you one by one." Look at this, it's easy, right? It's just a few nails. In a moment, I'm going to have someone press your fingers, and then one by one, smash them into the gap between your fingernails. ”

The shopkeeper of the sledgehammer iron shop was numb when he heard this, but he didn't want Wang Junlin to see the panic in his heart, so he simply closed his eyes, bit his mouth tightly, and didn't say a word.

Wang Junlin grabbed the nail and fiddled with it, and put it aside casually. Immediately, he bent down and picked up the pieces of arrowroot cloth from the ground, and said with a little emotion: "This, it looks simple, it's just a few wet rags, but he has a nice name, called 'can't die'!" Later, when you are tortured, I will put him in your face. The more you hurt and tried to breathe, the more you couldn't breathe. It won't be long before you're dying right away. However, you can't survive, you can't die! ”

"And this, this one is called 'tickling'. Do you see the nine nails on this? In fact, it is very particular! It can just be placed on your backbone, one in the middle, four on the left and four on the left. Then pull down hard ......"

"This is called 'beauty in the heart'. To do this, take the top and bottom pieces of wood and clamp the soles of your feet. Then the nail in the middle can be hammered into the heart of the foot with a small hammer......"

"I'm ...... I said...... "The shopkeeper couldn't hold on any longer, and suddenly opened his eyes and collapsed to the ground."

Not only him, but the ten marquis officials in the room who often tortured others did not look very good at this time, and the fear in Wang Junlin's eyes unconsciously became worse.

"Then let's talk about it! Just say it, and I'll keep you from dying. Seeing this, Wang Junlin breathed a sigh of relief.

The shopkeeper gritted his teeth and said, "The secret ledger is in ......."

Seeing that the shopkeeper was about to speak, a sudden change protruded, squatting next to the shopkeeper, a guy who was crying in fright, suddenly bounced up, and a short blade appeared in his hand at some point, cutting into the shopkeeper's neck.

"Look for death." Wang Junlin didn't have time to draw his knife, and kicked directly at this guy.

With a bang, the guy was kicked by Wang Junlin, but before he could fly, the guy threw the blade in his hand as a hidden weapon at the shopkeeper.

Burst! The guy hit the wall, spit out a mouthful of blood, his face turned pale, looked at the shopkeeper and said with a miserable smile: "You want to kill the whole family......"

Before he finished speaking, he was trampled on the neck by the nearest marquis and directly trampled to death.

On the other side, the blade the size of an adult's palm pierced into the shoulder of the shopkeeper, and the shopkeeper instinctively let out a scream, but the scream had not yet fallen, after hearing the guy's words, a sense of madness suddenly appeared on his face, and the scream turned into a wild laugh, Wang Junlin secretly screamed badly, and his body bounced to the shopkeeper like a crossbow arrow, but he was finally a step slower.

The shopkeeper quickly pulled out the sharp blade of his shoulder and cut his throat, and when Wang Junlin rushed closer, he sprayed half of his body's blood.

"Who knows where the treasurer's secret ledger is hidden, and if he says it, he can live, otherwise he will die." Wang Junlin's face was a little ugly, and he said in a cold voice.

However, there were thirteen men in the front and back yards, and seven in the courtyard, and no one knew where the secret ledger was, and Wang Junlin ordered the killing of two people, and even tortured them without getting an answer.

In the end, Wang Junlin had to order the marquis to tie up all the hands and feet of these people, and ordered the princes and officials to start rummaging through the cabinets, and not letting go of the search in every corner, these marquis officials are still very experienced in this area, and soon issued a lot of secrets, such as finding some crossbow arrows and other prohibited weapons, and several letters from the northern Khitan, these things are also very important, but they can still be useful against ordinary people, and there is little effect on the Changping Palace, only the secret ledger can give the Changping Palace a certain blow, It's a pity that no clues have been found.

Wang Junlin also looked around like electricity, he personally searched one room after another, and finally came to the backyard, passing by a small room stacked with miscellaneous items, and finally found something.

The things in this small room were stacked too regularly, and Wang Junlin called ten marquis officials and asked them to vacate the utility room, and an iron plate was exposed on the ground, which was slightly recessed into the ground, and there was a finger-thick iron chain on it, and a large copper lock was locked on the iron chain.

Wang Junlin pulled out the Dragon Bird Treasure Knife, used his strength in the knife, and slashed it down, 'Bang! With a bang, the chains were slashed.

Wang Junlin tore off the chain and lifted the iron plate with all his might, and there was a dark tunnel below, with faintly visible steps, fresh air, and no musty smell, indicating that people often enter and exit.

This kind of underground secret room is not special, many large households and shops have it, the structure is roughly similar, the only special thing is that the entrance is difficult to find, find the entrance, and then it will be simple.

Wang Junlin led four marquis officials with lanterns into the tunnel, and the other marquis waited outside.

The five people bent down along the steps and walked into the tunnel, the tunnel was very shallow, only walked seven or eight steps to the end, there was a stone gate at the bottom, and there was an iron chain on the stone door, Wang Junlin drew his knife again and cut the iron chain.

There was an oil lamp hanging on the stone next to the stone door, and without his command, a marquis lit the lamp, pushed the door open, and the five entered the inner room one after another.

The inner chamber is not large, about one zhang three wide, one zhang nine zhang long, and only six feet high, and is lit by oil lamps and lanterns, so the situation in the secret room is clear at a glance.
