The lower level of the cave was dimly lit, except for a few stone chambers near the entrance of the cave where oil lamps were lit, and further down there was a bottomless darkness, and some faint moans drifted out of the cold darkness and made people feel creepy. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

There was a table at the entrance of the cave against the stone wall, and there were three benches, which seemed to be the place where the guards rested when they were on duty, and the wall facing the entrance of the cave was full of many torture instruments that Yang Huairen had never seen before, and some of them still had some dried and blackened blood stains on them.

A cell boss, who appeared to be in his fifties, stood up vigilantly when he saw a stranger coming down.

When he saw that Lian Zigeng, who was a hundred internal guards, was respectful to the people who came, he naturally guessed that the young man dressed as a scholar was their new hall master, so he hurriedly called several other internal guards who were guarding the dungeon to come forward to salute Yang Huairen.

After seeing the ceremony, the cell boss briefly introduced the situation in the prison to Yang Huairen.

In fact, Yang Huairen didn't care about who was locked up before, and he didn't have the heart to pay attention to whether these people were really guilty. He was in a very nervous mood now, and the only thing he cared about was the people in the pawnshop.

Judging from the current situation, the internal guards have already tortured these people to extract confessions several rounds, and I don't know what they have confessed, and whether they have described his appearance.

Yang Huairen listened patiently to him before he asked in a deep voice: "Where are those people caught in the pawnshop now?" Quickly take the envoy to inspect it. ”

In a stone chamber with stone walls on three sides, and only one side of which was a bowl of thick logs, a man was locked, his hands and feet were locked by one end of an iron chain only a foot long and the thickness of a finger, and the other end was deeply embedded in the stone wall with iron nails.

The man was a fat man, his clothes had been torn and had lost their original shape, his hands and feet had been cut by chains, revealing flesh and blood, and his hair was messy and scattered, and many of his hair was glued together with congealed blood.

It seems that this person has suffered a lot, after receiving these punishments, he has long been unable to see his original appearance, if it weren't for his obvious mustache still hanging on his mouth, I'm afraid Yang Huairen wouldn't dare to believe that this fat man was the oily pawnshop shopkeeper at the beginning.

"Tell the envoy," Lian Zigeng came up and said: "At the beginning, our internal guards went to the pawnshop to arrest people, but I didn't expect that the martial arts skills in the pawnshop were quite high, and the brothers sent there were also red-eyed for self-protection.

Except for the fat man who was left alive by the brothers, everyone else died. ”

Yang Huairen felt a little embarrassed in his heart, he didn't know dozens of people in the entire pawnshop, just because he was panicked, he actually saw all of them.

Whether these people are good or bad, although they were not killed by Yang Huairen, they died because of him, which made him feel a little heavy. It is precisely because of this that the threat to Yang Huairen is only this eight-character bearded shopkeeper.

Today, Yang Huairen made up his mind to kill this mustache with his own hands, otherwise his family might end up in the same fate as those in the pawnshop.

At the beginning of man, nature is good. However, whether it is a human or an animal, when it comes to the choice between life and death, it will become evil, perhaps this is the most primitive nature.

Yang Huairen cleared his throat and deliberately changed his majestic tone and asked, "What has this fat man explained, let's hear it." ”

The cell boss was frightened by Yang Huairen's sudden change of tone, he thought in his heart that the new Jinju Hall Master was just a young junior, who looked like he was a scholarly and angry, and guessed that this was just a gentleman who relied on some relationship with the upper echelons of the internal guard to be in a high position.

He didn't know that Yang Huairen was just afraid that he would recognize the tone of his speech, so he deliberately tightened his throat to make his voice low, and this majesty was not pretended, but he was not satisfied with the confession they forced out, so he suddenly became angry.

"Tell the envoy, the little ones are incompetent, this just keeps repeating that day, a young scholar went to his pawnshop and pawned a treasure called Nine Heavens Xuantie, and the others can't ask anything."

The old man knelt on the ground tremblingly, and Yang Huairen immediately understood the reason. One of the biggest characteristics of a secret organization like the internal guard is that for the sake of efficiency and execution, the class concept within the organization is very clear, and the upper level has absolute command and authority over the lower level.

On the other hand, the composition of the internal guards is composed of homeless people, and their status in the organization represents power and money, and in order to be appreciated by the superiors, only their ability to do things is their ability.

If the superior has doubts about the work ability of his subordinate, not only will the subordinate have no hope for the future, but he will also be ostracized by other colleagues.

Yang Huairen came to Jinju Hall for the first time, since he was a special envoy specially promoted by the Empress Dowager and gave him a seat as a hall master, then he had to put on a vicious and decisive majesty to make them afraid of him, so that he could achieve the goal of killing people today, and he could also call them to do things for him in the future.

Yang Huairen feigned anger and scolded with a straight face: "Just ask for such a thing?!" ”

Everyone was a little at a loss when they saw that the envoy suddenly changed into another stern look, and even Lian Zigeng, a hundred households, didn't dare to interject to speak to the cell boss, and bowed his head and stood in place without saying a word.

Seeing that the hall master was angry, the cell head was even more uneasy in his heart, and he hurriedly kowtowed a few times one after another, and kept saying in his mouth: "Xiao Di is incompetent, I hope that the envoy will give Xiao Di another ......chance for the sake of Xiao Di's many years of hard work in the hall."

"No need!"

Yang Huairen turned his back to him, "You are also the old man of Jin Ju Tang, this is the first time the envoy came, and it is not easy to punish you, for the sake of your many years of service in Jin Ju Tang, I will not blame you this time." ”

The old cell boss kowtowed a few more times, and kept thanking the envoy for his kindness.

"You all get out, and I'll interrogate this prisoner myself, so that you can see what the highest level of punishment is!"

Yang Huairen said very harshly, and all the internal guards were impressed by his majesty, and they all withdrew from the prison door and stood outside the cage, wanting to see what the maximum punishment of the envoy would be and what effect it would have.

He Zhiyun, who was pretending to be a man, guarded the wooden gate of this cell, and Yang Huairen slowly walked to the eight-character bearded shopkeeper who had already been tortured, and asked in a low voice, "Do you recognize me?" ”

At this time, Bazihu already wished to die early, saving him so much unbearable pain.

From their conversation, it was clear that the young man who was questioning was the leader of this group of cruel demons, and he trembled with fright and retreated to the cold stone wall behind him like a frightened prey, and the four chains rattled.

When he struggled to raise his head, slowly opened his eyes, and saw Yang Huairen in front of him, he seemed to feel that this young man was a little familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere.

Suddenly a flash of lightning flashed in his mind, and he remembered who this person he was facing, his eyes widened, every hair on his body stood on end, and he couldn't speak in astonishment, and he said a word in a trembling voice.

"You, you, it's your ......"
