Knowing that Huo Jianxue and the others had escaped to the ancestral hall, Jiang Han guessed what was in the ancestral hall, and outside the ancestral hall, he also felt an eerie aura rushing towards him.

Sure enough, the Shenwu army came to report and found a dark room in the ancestral hall.

The dark room was hidden under a shrine in the ancestral hall, and because of the arrows of the Shenwu Army, the shrine was shattered, revealing a hole in the ground with a length and width of nearly two meters.

There are stairs going down, and looking from afar, you can see twenty or thirty steps.

Jiang Han was suddenly very excited, just now, Huang Rong asked people to report, the latest statistics of disappearances and violent deaths are as many as 457, and they are still increasing, because the number of people outside the yamen who came to report the cases has increased instead of decreasing.

Article 457:Excluding those who have already been determined to be dead, the number of missing persons is still as high as 417.

And nearly seventy percent of these four hundred and seventeen people are women, and less than thirty percent have children.

With such a large number of disappearances, even in Kyoto, the most populous city, it is a big case!

Where did these missing people go?

Abducted and trafficked to Qinglou? All refined into pills?

Jiang Han couldn't imagine the end of these people.

"My lord, there may be danger down there, you stay up there, and we'll investigate first." Wu Yong, the commander of the Shenwu Army, said.

Jiang Han said: "No need, I'll go down with you." ”

He was anxious to know what was hidden in the secret room under the ancestral hall, and he didn't want to wait a moment.

What's more, with Zhou Hu and Shenwu Jun by his side, what danger can he get close to?

Wu Yong had no choice but to open the way in front, followed by Jiang Han, Zhou Hu, Lord Shaohui, Cheng Wanli, and a hundred Shenwu troops.

As you descend the stone stairs, it gets hot, but the walls of the cave are damp.

Jiang Han found that this underground passage was eighty or ninety meters long, and the underground secret room was only unimaginably large.

Soon the road down became the road ahead, and in front of it was a huge karst cave, which was humid and hot, and there were some large and small Dan furnaces in the middle.

Continuing from the first cave, you will find a larger cave, the size of a basketball court.

The cave is covered with dense stalactites, and there are other small caves on the cave walls, like tunnels, which lead to each cave in all directions.

It's like an ant nest underground.

At this moment, there are some strange sounds faintly coming from the cave, crying? Choked sounds? Snort? Or is it a roar?

It's hard to tell.

Jiang Han's running talent gathered his eyes, and his eyesight instantly became excellent, and he could see in the rather dark caves, and said, "Check the caves behind these tunnels!" ”

"Yes!" Commander Wu Yong immediately divided the two hundred Shenwu troops into twenty teams and explored the road separately.

Jiang Han walked towards one of the tunnels, and soon, he reached the end of the tunnel, at the end of which was a narrow karst cave, and there was an iron fence built outside the cave, and there were people inside.

It was a man dressed in burlap, of the same age, between thirteen and thirty, and these were women, disheveled, lying on the ground, leaning against the wall of the cave, or holding their legs and their heads bowed.

These people looked numb, and some were even drooling, as if they were delirious.

Next to it, there was a pig trough, and the pig trough was full of sticky food.

People have been found, and the missing people are being held here...... While Jiang Han breathed a sigh of relief, a wave of anger surged in his heart.

Those miscellaneous people are simply raised like pigs and sheep!

"Open!" Jiang Han said in a deep voice.

Wu Yong immediately stepped forward, waved his long knife, cut the iron lock on the fence away, and then pushed the fence open.

When the fence was opened, only a few of the people inside looked up and looked down, then lowered their heads numbly.

"I'm here to save you, you can go out." Jiang Han said.

However, after he spoke, the people who were locked in the cave did not seem to hear, and they were insensitive, and they did not even move.

Jiang Han said again: "I was sent by the imperial court to rescue you, and now you can go out." ”

And after he said this, those people were still sluggish, if it weren't for their eyelids still moving, Jiang Han would suspect that they were dead.

Seeing this, Zhou Hu rushed in and said, "Did you hear me?" We are here to save you, and now we can go out. ”

But the people still didn't move, they didn't move.

Zhou Hu said: "Young Master, there seems to be something wrong with these people. ”

Jiang Han frowned, walked over to a ragged woman, and said, "Listen to me, I'm here to save you, and you can leave here now." ”

After he finished speaking, the woman moved, she slowly lay on the ground, reached out to unbutton the cloth on her body, opened her legs, looked numb, and said in a dry tone, but as if flattering: "Master Dao, come and drive piles...... The slave family is waiting for you to drive piles...... Lay a pile, let the slave family meet the slaves......"

Her expression was clearly insensitive, but she still made movements on her body.

It's as if these actions have been done many times.

Wu Yong next to him also had a look of anger on his face, and said in a low voice: "My lord, piling is the countryman's description of what happened in the house...... These people, I'm afraid that they have been tortured to the point of delirium......"

Jiang Han was stunned, an indescribable sense of anger welled up in his heart, he looked at the woman's body, the new wounds and old wounds on it were all whip marks, and even some of the wounds had suppurated.

He took off his Confucian shirt, draped it directly over the woman, and said in a deep voice: "I'm not a Taoist master, I'm here to save you." ”

The woman glanced up at Jiang Han, but she was smiling, pointed at him and said, "Dao Master, Dao Ye, hurry up and drive piles, the slave family will definitely be good today...... Master Dao, don't make alchemy, the slave family must be obedient......"

Jiang Han's heart instantly swelled with murderous intent, he couldn't imagine how much this woman had been insulted and hurt here!

He couldn't bear to look at it anymore, and when he walked out of this cave, there was a report from the Shenwu Army.

"My lord, the caves here have all been converted into prisons, there are about forty caves, and each cave holds twenty or thirty people, all of whom are delirious and scarred!"

"There are caves where young men are also being held, and these men are worse than the women, each of them is covered in wounds, the backyard is full of blood, and a few of them are infected with poisonous sores and are not far from death!"

"My lord, most of these people have been tortured to the point of insanity."

"My lord! A cave was found to have a crematorium, and there were nine feet of bones piled up in the furnace! ”

……

"Damn! Damn it! ”

The murderous aura in Jiang Han's eyes could no longer be concealed completely, and this naturally formed karst cave was like an underground prison.

Used to imprison these people!

Who the hell is so mad!

Guo County Order?

No, there must be someone behind him!

The history of Jingzhou Mansion?

He must have something to do with it, but he doesn't have to be the one behind the scenes!

A assassin would never dare to do such a big case!

Is it Xue Mubai, the Duke of Kui Guo?

Or is it someone else?

"Shi Ankang, I really want to crush him to pieces!"

Jiang Han took a deep breath, his fists clenched and gurgling.

At this time, another Shenwu army came to report: "My lord, I found a huge karst cave ahead, and there is a huge alchemy furnace in the cave!" ”

Jiang Han said with a gloomy face: "Lead the way!" ”

Under the guidance of the Shenwu army, I passed through a long road, and after walking for about a quarter of an hour, I came to another huge karst cave, and above the cave was a sign erected, which read: "Laojun Palace".

In the cave, there is an antique and antique huge alchemy furnace with a dark body.

The alchemy furnace was still smoking, like a mountain.

Slowly approaching, the shadow of that alchemy furnace gradually engulfed everyone, and a depressing aura rushed from that alchemy furnace!

In the cave, in addition to the alchemy furnace, there are two rows of shelves next to it, where gourds, medicine pounding rods, stone urns and other things are placed.

Jiang Han looked at this alchemy furnace, and the anger in his heart rose again, it was self-evident what such a huge alchemy furnace was used to refine.

This damn Shi Ankang!

It is difficult to solve the hatred of him by breaking his body into thousands of pieces!

He actually captured so many people to use for alchemy!

"Check!" Jiang Han's face was extremely ugly, and he gritted his teeth.

The Shenwu army searched the cave separately, and returned a quarter of an hour later:

"Your Excellency! There are notes on the gourds, or the book man pill, or the book brain pill, or the book heart pill...... There are pills in the gourd, the smell of the medicine is fishy, and it is suspected that it is made by people! ”

"Your Excellency, there are still unbroken human hands, livers, and teeth in some stone urns, which have begun to rot!"

"My lord, this place has been emptied, and most of the evil ways have already sniffed out the danger and retreated in advance, so as to leave these things behind."

Jiang Han took a deep breath, gritted his teeth and said, "Seal everything!" Send someone to defend this place! ”

With that, he left the bath cave, such a huge alchemy place, the energy of the people behind the scenes is probably not lower than that of his father.

He's going to make a series of preparations.

After leaving the secret room, Jiang Han immediately sent an order: "Brother Cheng, please use Hongyan to pass the book...... No, you rushed to Kyoto in person and informed the Taixue Mansion, Kunizijian, of the news! ”

Although it is convenient, it may be intercepted.

Cheng Wanli nodded solemnly and said, "I know." ”

Jiang Han thought for a while and said, "You take a thousand Shenwu troops to Kyoto as protection." ”

Cheng Wanli's face changed and said, "Are you afraid...... Someone will wait for me on the road and put out my mouth? ”

Jiang Han said: "Be prepared!" ”

He said again: "Zhou Hu, now you also bring a thousand Shenwu troops, rush to Shanzhou, and tell my father that I want to wash the officials of Jingzhou in blood!" ”

Zhou Hu's face changed greatly, and he said, "Young Master, don't mess around!" ”

Jiang Han F said coldly: "Go quickly!" If you are a little later, you won't be able to leave Jingzhou! ”

Zhou Hu's face changed, and he finally gritted his teeth, this case has evolved from an ordinary case of missing women to an evil alchemy case, and next, the mastermind behind the scenes may be wiped out!

Because, once this case is announced, the entire court will be shaken!

The mastermind behind the scenes will inevitably choose to extinguish at this time.

Let Cheng Wanli go to Kyoto and let Zhou Hu go to Shanzhou, in fact, it is to save himself!

The former made a big deal about it, and the latter brought in Wei Guogong to support!
