After listening to Lao Mo's complaints, Qin Tai asked Lao Mo about Wang Tong's true identity. Qin Tai always felt that there was something wrong with this Wang Tong, not as simple as everyone could see. Lao Mo finally revealed an amazing secret, which made Qin Tai and Zhan Xiao stunned.

It turns out that Wang Tong is a person who "borrows the corpse to return the soul", and he is not the real Wang Tong. This "Wang Tong", formerly known as Wang Tong, is the eldest brother of Wang Tong, a real scribe of the Criminal Department, and the actual age difference between the two brothers is nearly 20 years. Wang Tong succeeded his father in his early years and entered the prison of the Criminal Department as a jailer, but because he was unwilling to join the other jailers, he was secretly killed by other colleagues. When everyone thought that Wang Tong was dead and left, Lao Mo secretly came out to save Wang Tong, and the old drunkard master also participated in the rescue. From then on, Wang Tong and Lao Mo hid together in the secret room of the prison of the Criminal Department, and did not dare to meet outsiders casually.

Wang Tong died in the prison of the Criminal Department for no reason, which led to Wang Tong's younger brother Wang Tong's suspicion of the prison of the Criminal Department. Many years later, Wang Tong gave up the opportunity to enter other yamen of the Criminal Department and came to the prison of the Criminal Department as a relatively sloppy scribe, the purpose of which was to find out the real cause of death of his eldest brother Wang Tong. After finding the evidence, he avenged his eldest brother Wang.

Later, Wang Tong finally met his eldest brother Wang Tong, Wang Tong told Wang Tong the secret he knew, and Wang Tong also used this opportunity to report revenge for his eldest brother Wang. Because the two brothers look alike, it is not easy for outsiders to distinguish them, as long as Wang Tong is slightly disguised, there will be eight younger brothers Wang Tong. Wang Tong also often uses Wang Tong's identity to go out for a walk. After all, if you have been locked up in the prison of the Criminal Department for a long time, people will become numb.

Wang Tong wanted to use the power in his hands and the secret of Wang Zhidao to control the prison of the Criminal Department, so as to seek huge profits and wealth. Wang Tong was reluctant to do so, feeling that this kind of money was not clean, and the two brothers had a heated argument for the first time. Wang Tong doesn't want his younger brother to compete for power and profit, and he wants to cherish what he has now. Wang Tong said that the eldest brother was confused, and he was a big fool if he didn't take advantage of this opportunity to get rich. For this reason, the two brothers had a cold war and did not contact each other for a long time. Even if Wang Tong came to the prison of the Criminal Department, he would not contact Wang Tong, and Wang Tong would not pay attention to his younger brother Wang Tong.

One day three years ago, Wang Tong suddenly stumbled and appeared in front of Wang Tong and told his eldest brother Wang Tong a secret. Not only has he been poisoned, but he will soon die. Wang Tong didn't want his brother Wang Tong to say who the murderer was, but hoped that his eldest brother Wang Tong would use Wang Tong's identity to go out to take care of Wang Tong's wife and children. Wang Tong used the identity of his younger brother Wang Tong to appear outside, commuting normally like Wang Tong. Soon after, Wang Tong, who was in the secret room of the prison of the Criminal Department, finally died of poison, and Lao Mo cleaned up Wang Tong's body.

Wang Tong used Wang Tong's identity to move outside, and at the same time came back every few days to contact Lao Mo. A few days ago, Lao Mo told Wang Tong about Qin Tai and his wife, and asked Wang Tong to contact Qin Tai and his wife as Wang Tong, and told Qin Tai and his wife the information about the prison of the Criminal Department that everyone knew. If Qin Tai and his wife were really talents, they could realize everyone's hopes, otherwise everyone could continue to hide aside and wait for the next opportunity.

Qin Tai finally knew about Wang Tong and understood Wang Tong's thoughts. A person who has been locked up in the prison room of the Criminal Department for a long time and does not have contact with outsiders will of course be a little different. Wang Tong often plays with himself in the secret room alone, so he will have some strange expressions. Wang Tong also likes to play tricks on people, and after he succeeds, he will have a natural smug expression, which is Wang Tong's habit for many years. This is also in line with Qin Tai's suspicions, Wang Tong will not have such a deep foundation. In ancient times, scholars needed experience and skills to write, so it was not easy for ordinary people to imitate other people's handwriting. When Qin Tai saw Wang Tong's calligraphy and painting, he found that the handwriting skills on the calligraphy and painting did not match Wang Tong's actual age. Although Wang Tong's calligraphy and painting are not high-quality, he has at least forty or fifty years of skills, unlike the characters written by a forty or fifty-year-old Wang Tong. Lao Mo said that Wang Tong went out instead of Wang Tong, so these calligraphy and paintings were written by Wang Tong, which was in line with Qin Tai's conjecture. Wang Tong is already in his sixties, and of course he has forty or fifty years of calligraphy skills, which is like a normal performance in calligraphy and painting.

Zhan Xiaoxiao's husband Qin Tai asked Uncle Mo, what is the secret room here? How could there be so many secret rooms and secret passages in the prison of the Criminal Department? Why don't the people in the prison know this? Could it be that there are other secrets in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment?

Lao Mo smiled bitterly and told a story with a serious history of blood and tears. It is said that when the prison of the Criminal Department was built, Ming Chengzu Zhu Di was worried that the affairs of the prison of the Criminal Department would be known to outsiders, so he cruelly locked all the workers and insiders in the basement of the prison of the Criminal Department. Zhu Di thought that there was no food or drink in the prison of the Criminal Department, and everyone would starve to death inside. Zhu Di ordered the prison to be closed for 30 days, and then to be opened a month later. When the time comes, all the bodies will be cleaned up, and then the newly built prison will be activated. But even Zhu Di didn't expect that when the prison of the Criminal Department was built, several craftsmen were worried that the imperial court would kill people. The prison of the Criminal Department is not the palace prison, and anyone who knows the internal structure may be wiped out, so they have a way back. They left some gaps in the prison of the Criminal Department, and secretly opened up a passage with their cronies. It's just that this passage can only run up and down, not to the outside.

When Zhu Di ordered the closure of the prison of the Criminal Department, these people thought that the officers and soldiers would be killed, so they secretly added more pounds to the secret passage. I didn't expect Zhu Di to come to such a hand, when everyone walked out of the passage, what they saw was not dead bodies but panicked workers. The workers were not stupid, and when they saw a secret passage, they rushed in, and many of them died because of pushing and trampling on each other. When I entered the passage, I realized that there was no way out inside, only some passages that ran up and down. Everyone was disappointed, and some people even went crazy and stupid.

In order to survive, everyone had to do the heinous thing, which was to eat the flesh of the dead. Gradually, the dead were eaten up by everyone, and everyone began to panic again. In order to survive, everyone built a simple secret room inside the passage for everyone to rest. But you can't stop eating and drinking, you need to solve physiological problems. So they decided to eat the flesh of the living people, beat a few people who had gone mad to death, and share the flesh of these people.

Due to the large number of people, the workers gradually ate less and less, and everyone was almost hungry. Finally, something even more terrifying happened, and a fight broke out between an uncle and nephew. The nephew came to work in the prison of the Criminal Department with his uncle, and the uncle was not only the nephew's elder relative, but also the nephew's master, and taught the nephew a lot of skills. The nephew usually respects his uncle very much, and at least there is no major contradiction between the two uncles and nephews. But after entering the secret room, the two men had a disagreement, and often fought with each other over a little food. The mad people have all been killed, and all the food is gone. The uncle even told his nephew that there were children in the family who needed to be taken care of by him, a father, and hoped that the nephew would sacrifice himself to complete the uncle's family. The nephew didn't understand what the uncle meant, but then he finally understood, and it turned out that the uncle wanted to eat the nephew's meat. The nephew is angry, why should he sacrifice himself to save his uncle? My uncle has an aunt and children at home, so don't I have a family to take care of at home? The nephew's family includes not only parents, siblings, but also an engaged fiancée. The uncle should fulfill the nephew for the sake of his nephew's future. As long as the uncle sacrifices, the nephew can hold on to the end, and the nephew can not only get married and have children, but also take care of the uncle's family on behalf of the uncle. Neither of them was willing to sacrifice themselves, and the two fought.

Just when the two uncles and nephews were fighting, everyone gathered around. The smell of blood stimulated everyone's nerves, and not only did everyone not stop the fight, but they also hoped that they could get a piece of the pie. When the uncle and nephew fell to the ground almost at the same time, an amazing scene happened. Several workers rushed up and bit the uncle and nephew violently, and then more and more people came to grab the meat of the uncle and nephew, and the uncle and nephew screamed desperately, and everyone turned a deaf ear.

After eating, everyone lay on the ground, but everyone began to worry about their future. Maybe at some point I will be eaten by others and buried in other people's stomachs. A scholar who came to serve in place of his father silently recorded the incident, hoping that someone would see the secret in the future. The scholar is not only recording the incident, but also writing a suicide note for himself, hoping that someone will be able to collect the body for himself and everyone in the future. The scholar felt that it was impossible for everyone to get out, everyone would die here, and no one could leave the prison of the Criminal Department.

When the prison was opened again, there were not many people in the secret room. Everyone did not dare to show their faces easily, let alone contact outsiders. It took three days and three nights to clean and disinfect the prison alone, and then a large number of criminals were imprisoned in the prison of the Criminal Department. These workers mixed in with the criminals and tried to get away with it, but they were discovered by the people in the prison of the criminal department, and one worker after another was killed. However, no one said anything about the secret passages and secret rooms, because they didn't dare to say it. Inside are buried their colleagues and their sins, as well as the past that keeps them from looking up.

Due to the discovery of unknown persons, the internal investigation of the prison of the Criminal Department was carried out, and the identity of the prisoner must be strictly verified before entering and leaving the prison of the Criminal Department. Even so, there are still people who try to get out of the prison, but no one seems to have succeeded. The workers either died in the secret room or were secretly executed by the administrators of the prison of the Criminal Department, who did not dare to report to the court and their superiors, fearing that the matter would affect everyone. It is also because of this that the secret passage and the secret room are kept.

Gradually, the workers died, and the secret passages and secret chambers were forgotten. It wasn't until many years later, after Ming Yingzong imprisoned a large number of hostile forces and their families in the prison of the Criminal Department, that this secret was once again known to everyone.
