Mrs. Lu smiled. Shen Yeshan saw that Meng Xueqing had seen through her true body, so she replied with a slight smile. Lu Bing explained the ins and outs, and Meng Xueqing asked, "Then why didn't you tell me in advance?" ”

"It's a matter of confidentiality, and I didn't have time to talk about it, and besides, a few days ago, didn't we have an awkward quarrel." Lu Bing said with a smile: "By the way, Xueqing, you have to pay attention in the future, try to give in to Mrs. Qi, you are a smart person, I won't say much." ”

Meng Xueqing nodded, both husband and wife are human spirits, and many things have come to an end. Shen Baishan interrupted the two of them and said: "What should you do next, Lu Bing, since you dare to come to your house to do something to stab and hurt your seniors, then you must have the determination to die, it may be difficult to commit suicide, but you may not necessarily torture them." ”

Lu Bing sneered and said: "Then I can't help them, no matter how hard my teeth are, no matter how tight my mouth is, I can pry out what I want to know." ”

In the next two months, Lu Bing went into the dungeon for half a day except to study the refining of pills with Shao Yuanjie, Liang Gaofu and others. This alchemy operation did not have much impact on the people of Dengzhou Mansion, firstly, because it was secret, so all actions needed to be low-key, and because this was Lu Bing's land, Shao Yuanjie did not dare to compete for the young girl to refine red lead. Of course, he didn't dare to Huo Huo people, otherwise Lu Bing would be in a hurry, but he didn't care what the heavenly master was or not, and he would be the same with a knife.

In fact, the women brought by the capital and the red lead refined into it have been enough for many years, and there is no need to replenish the women every year when they are in the capital. But sometimes some things are just borrowing some reasons to satisfy their selfish desires in the skin of the powerful. The palace maid was elected to enter the palace. Lewdness at will, not only the emperor is happy, but Shao Yuanjie is also happy, and the officials at all levels who are in charge can also earn benefits. To extort money in the cloak of an official, if you don't give it, you will pull other people's daughters into the palace, whoever resists is a riot, in short, for officialdom. Alchemy is beneficial for everyone, so why not do it?

The pill was refined into nine furnaces, and then the drug trial stage began. I dare not say what the effect is, this medicine is precious, and it is impossible to find patients with the same infertility to try the medicine until it is cured, so there are too many consumables. It's been too long. That's not allowed at all. The drug test that I am talking about now is nothing more than finding some people to take the medicine to see if it is poisonous or not.

Lu Bingzhi said that many emperors died of heavy metal poisoning in the pill, so he strictly used cinnabar and other heavy metals in the nine furnaces of the pill, and asked the person who tested the medicine to do clinical observation, divided into ten people to test the drug, and observed it for a month before drawing conclusions, so as to prevent the existence of the incubation period and ensure the safety of the drug as much as possible.

Lu Bing has a point. Tao Zhongwen, Shao Yuanjie and Liang Gaofu also obeyed, and no one wanted anything to happen to the pill. Otherwise, when the time comes, the emperor will die, and no matter how big you have a big backstage, you will have to be copied and beheaded by the nine clans.

During the drug trial stage, Lu Bing arranged a full range of observation and recording, allowing the author to record the symptoms of the drug taker in the most straightforward language without a little exaggeration, while misjudging and misdiagnosing. Lu Bing arranged everything, took a leave of absence to Shao Yuanjie and others, and went into the dungeon again.

But now it's different, that kind of heart-rending roar seems to come from hell, it's no longer like a human voice, even if the Lu Mansion is a deep mansion compound, covering a large area and the sound insulation is very good, but there are still many courtyards that can hear the creepy cry from the dungeon, of course, if that can still be called a scream.

Duan Qingfeng, Meng Xueqing, Shen Yeshan, and Xia Dade gathered in front of the door of the dungeon, Meng Xueqing looked at Xia Dade suspiciously and asked, "Second brother, why is it so strange in the dungeon today, first the heart-rending cry is now quiet." ”

Xia Dade frowned slightly and said, "Don't worry, since Lu Bing called us here, we should deal with it, and I won't let you see anything terrifying." ”

Shen Yeff grabbed Duan Qingfeng's sleeve, Duan Qingfeng's face was as usual, he didn't let go of Shen Yew, but he didn't look at Shen Yew, which made Shen Yew both happy and sad, and he was a little puzzled by Duan Qingfeng.

"Let's go." Duan Qingfeng said, these four of Lu Bing's most intimate or most interested characters walked towards the depths of the dungeon, and there was inevitably a heavy feeling in his heart, Lu Bing asked them to come, what did he want to say?

When the four of them came to the torture room where Lu Bing was, Shen Yeshan and Meng Xueqing, two women who had experienced wind and rain and had seen the world, although they were not screamed out in shock, their faces were still pale and their bodies trembled slightly. There were seven or eight corpses hanging in front of them, all of them hanging high on their toes, naked but not so polished, and their bodies were covered with decomposing and scarred or unscarred wounds from torture.

Lu Bing saw that everyone was standing at the door and didn't come in, so he said while cleaning up a row of silver needles on the table: "No way, I have to do this kind of torture myself, and I am afraid that the results obtained by others will be leaked, and I am even more afraid that I will frighten others." ”

When everyone looked around, they saw black insects crawling inside some of the corpses, and the insects crawled out of the ear and nostrils and open mouth of the deceased, half of the body, furry and extremely terrifying. Some of them are constantly oozing blood from their bodies, and the blood is densely distributed on the corpses in the form of dew, and some are skinned off their entire faces. There was even one person, the whole leg was gone, and only a pair of leg bones were left hanging on the ground.

Shen Yeshan said that over the years, he has seen a lot of corpses in business, although it is not so miserable, but after all, it has resistance. Even though Meng Xueqing was resourceful, she couldn't bear the impact of this vision, and finally couldn't help but vomit. Lu Bing stepped forward and gently stroked Meng Xueqing's back, but found that his hands were covered with blood, staining Meng Xueqing's clothes.

Lu Bing waited for Meng Xueqing to feel better before saying: "These assassins were sent by a person named Tiankui to assassinate Chao Wounded, and they also felt the location of Chao Wound very clearly, which shows that there must be an internal response in our mansion." ”

"Impossible, except for our own family in the house, the next people are all selected by me. There are no people from the imperial court, and even now the people of the imperial court are still using our money to provide false information to Zhu Houxi. Xia Dade shook his head and said.

Lu Bing shook his head and said, "Maybe this is a delaying tactic, in order to confuse us." Maybe this Nei Ying is not a person from the court at all, or a person who is not Zhu Houxi, and besides, people can change, and people's greed is difficult to satisfy, maybe someone will defect. ”

"Could that be" Meng Xueqing thought of Xiaorui, but saw that there were others there, except for Xia Dade. Others don't know about Lu Dao Xiaorui, but it's a bit bad to say this, after all, family ugliness can't be publicized. Today, Xiaorui is quick to talk, and in the future, Xiaorui is not good at life, and the Lu family is afraid that it will be dusty.

Lu Bing knew what Meng Xueqing meant, but he still shook his head and said, "It won't be her." She didn't know what to do. And she's now reformed. ”

"Tiankui, Tiankui is one of the twenty-eight main stars in the sky, this name is very strange." Duan Qingfeng said. Lu Bing nodded: "I also know this, so I feel very strange." The top boss of the group of assassins was the man covered in blood, and the others didn't know who their boss was. I also used the method of pricking the acupoint with a silver needle to make him delirious. ”

"It seems that this group of people has a very similar way of doing things to us, one-line contact, separation of powers, checks and balances. You can directly skip the level and report to the superior branch, but you don't know who the superior is. It also ensures the concealment of each line, the intelligence is safer, and the operation is more secret. Meng Xueqing said.

Lu Bing let out a "hmm", and then said: "In short, we have encountered a powerful enemy, I have a hunch that this enemy is more powerful than we have encountered in the past, and from today onwards, each of us may encounter danger." Danyangzi's predecessors told me that they used a martial art called Huitian Zhishu, which burned their own lives to fight, similar to the fighting style of dying together. This kind of lost martial arts exists in legends, and it is more mysterious than the thirteen swords that killed them, and I think that the secret of this group of people is far more than martial arts. ”

"What are we going to do?" Xia Dade pondered for a moment and said, Lu Bing said: "I can only actively take precautions, and in addition, after the last day, the leader also confessed under my thorn point, saying that he had seen Tiankui talk to Yang Yiqing, which means that this matter has nothing to do with Yang Yiqing." And under my treatment, the injured veteran also recovered some of his senses, and he kept chanting Yang Yiqing's name in his mouth. Shen Yew! Lu Bing suddenly called Shen Yew's name, and Shen Yew looked at Lu Bing suspiciously.

"If the Lu family is going to launch a full-scale counterattack, it may be a battle that has no interests at all but has to fight, and the end is facing a battle where the fish is dead and the net is broken. It's still too late for your Shen family to withdraw now, I told you before, and another purpose for me to come this time is to investigate the Shen family's business in Dengzhou Mansion on the order of Zhu Houxi, that is, the business of transporting silver. I have already concealed to Zhu Houxi that I have found nothing for the time being, if the Shen family continues to stand on our side and form a life-and-death alliance with me, we will advance and retreat together, maybe we will be crushed, but before the fall of my Lu, the Shen family can still do silver transportation in Shandong. But if you can't, I hope you will withdraw as soon as possible and find a way back, so that my Lu family will not harm your Shen family. Lu Bing said.

Shen Yeshan smiled: "Is this a threat to our Shen family, forcing us to cooperate with you, or luring us?" Lu Bing, a businessman attaches great importance to profits, naturally the longer the business, the greater the profit, the better, but we are also righteous and will never abandon our friends. We have never thought of doing business with the emperor for a long time, the whole world is their family, where is it fair to do business with him, our Shen family values your person, and I can also decide on behalf of the head of the family now, and share life and death with your Lu family. Shen Yew said and looked at Duan Qingfeng, Lu Bing shook his head slightly, understanding that Shen Yew's reason was not only out of the consideration of maximizing interests, but also out of personal feelings, so he couldn't count them all.

Lu Bing said: "Yang Yiqing should be the murderer of my brother Zhu Houzhao and Old Man Wan, even if he is not, he will not be able to escape the involvement." Our Lu family started an all-out counterattack today, and we want to compete with Yang Yiqing. The Lu family and the Shen family, with their combined financial resources, are rich enough to rival the country, and the soldiers and horses such as Cai Longyu raised by me in Shandong are numerous, and the people who conceal them are several times more redundant than the group training. Now, there are 100,000 soldiers and horses, they are strong and well-equipped, and the number of people controlled by the second brother has exceeded Cai Longyu, and the initiative is completely in our own hands, even if Cai Longyu has any accidents, we are not afraid. ”

"Once I march, I can quickly capture all the guards and garrisons in Shandong, and then collect them, and with a little training, I may be able to gather 200,000 soldiers and horses with my reputation in Shandong. If Zhu Houxi dares to stop me, he will not blame me for turning my face and not recognizing people, if I don't harm him, he won't stop me. In short, people block and kill, and Buddha blocks and kills Buddha. Lu Bingyi waved his hand and said proudly. (To be continued......)
