Chapter 276: Suffering (2)
The old man in Tsing Yi was slightly silent for a while.
He then continued: "Even if I say it, you will probably not believe it. However, the fact that Jishitang took in the children of those displaced people was by no means to help the needy, as they advertised, they had another purpose. ”
Ning Xiaotang said, "What purpose?"
The old man in Tsing Yi said: "All the homeless children who are taken in will be locked up in a secret underground palace after a year. There, the children will be subjected to hellish inhuman torture, and almost no one will survive. ”
Ning Xiaotang frowned and said, "You said that the people of Jishitang took in those children, they have ulterior motives, do you have evidence?"
The old man in Tsing Yi looked sad, sighed, and said, "My eight-year-old granddaughter died there. When I found her body, it was hard for me to imagine what my granddaughter had suffered!"
Ning Xiaotang said: "Since it is a secret underground palace, your granddaughter is locked up there, she is dead, how can you find her body?"
At this time, the black-robed young man suddenly said, "The grottoes were found in the grottoes." ”
Ning Xiaotang was puzzled: "Mass grottoes?"
The black-robed young man said, "It is a secret cave, and in the depths of the cave, there is a huge deep pit. The pit was full of corpses, the corpses of the children. ”
Ning Xiaotang said, "How did you find that cave?"
The black-robed young man said, "My brother told us. ”
Ning Xiaotang said, "Your brother?"
Everyone looked at the black-robed young man suspiciously.
The black-robed young man explained, "My younger brother was also taken in by Jishitang, and he was also sent to that secret underground palace. Because my brother was taller, he was often called to carry corpses. So, he knew about the cave where the body was hidden. ”
Ning Xiaotang said, "Since your brother was also locked up in that secret underground palace, how did he tell you this information?"
The black-robed young man said, "Because my brother escaped." ”
Escaped? When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but be slightly stunned.
Su Miaoyun couldn't help but shake his head and said, "If it's really like you said, that Jishitang is an evil demon cave, and your brother is locked up in that kind of secret underground palace, how can he escape?"
Everyone else was skeptical.
The black-robed young man said, "If there had been no accident, my brother would indeed not have been able to escape. But later, a senior martial arts master discovered the secret underground palace, causing chaos. In addition, my brother often carried corpses and was familiar with the road conditions, so in the end, he managed to escape, and he was the only one who escaped. ”
Ning Xiaotang asked, "When did it happen?"
The black-robed young man said, "Four years ago. ”
Everyone was silent, if what the other party said was true, I am afraid that the martial arts senior would have already died.
After all, Jishitang is still good now, and there are no rumors about Jishitang outside.
Then, there is only one explanation, that martial arts senior, was left in that secret underground palace forever.
Ning Xiaotang thought for a moment and said, "Can we meet your brother?"
The black-robed young man fell silent, and after a moment, he said with a little sadness: "He is dead, he has been dead a long time ago." ”
Dead?, everyone frowned.
"My brother escaped and found us, but he died less than a month later. The black-robed young man continued, "He had suffered too much torture in that secret underground palace, and his entire body had already collapsed. ”
The old man in Tsing Yi said: "Don't hide it from you, I am a doctor, old man." Xiahou Qing's younger brother's body, I also checked it at the time, and the life essence in his body had long been exhausted, and it had reached the point of running out of oil. Although he escaped, he died soon after. ”
Ning Xiaotang said, "Then why do you want to cut off the little fingers of those homeless children?"
Everyone couldn't help but prick up their ears, and they were also very curious about this reason.
The black-robed young man said, "Because of the dog, there is also a shunzi." ”
Ning Xiaotang was puzzled: "Dog?"
The black-robed young man said, "The dog is thirteen years old this year, and the little finger of his right hand is naturally disabled. Junko is fourteen years old and has a disability in his right leg because he was smashed as a child. Three years ago, Gozi and Junko were supposed to enter Jishitang, but when the people of Jishido found out that they were physically disabled, they kicked them out. ”
"It can be said that their disabilities have become their talismans. Later, I went through a period of observation. In the end, I was sure that Jishitang really seemed to only take in the homeless children who were in good health. If they have a physical disability, they will not be admitted. ”
"So, in order to save the lives of those displaced children, we came up with this solution. Cut off the little fingers of those children and artificially create disabilities. In this way, Jishitang will no longer take in those children. ”
"Stupid!" the girl surnamed Xiao couldn't help but exclaim, "You did this, thinking that you were really helping those children? Isn't it another kind of harm? Why don't you go and report to the official? According to you, your brother escaped from the secret underground palace, so you should know the location of the palace." As long as the report is made to the official, those thieves can naturally be brought to justice. ”
"Report to the official?" the black-robed young man sneered, "Do you think we haven't reported to the official?" If it weren't for the fact that I found out that the situation was not right and fled immediately, I would have been executed by those who were officials on trumped-up charges. The dog county guard in Lecheng, nine times out of ten, has already been in cahoots with Na Wan Antong, and he has been in the same stream. ”
Hearing the words of the black-robed young man, the girl surnamed Xiao couldn't help but froze.
Everyone was silent for a while, if what the other party said was indeed not false, then this matter was likely to cause a sensation in the entire Lecheng and even the entire Shuzhou.
After all, Wan Antong, the richest man in Shuzhou, who was kind and benevolent, and Jishitang, who was generous to all people, suddenly became an evil existence, which was undoubtedly something that surprised and stunned everyone.
Su Miaoyun said: "But these words are still your words. ”
Ning Xiaotang said, "No, he can take us to the mass grotto first." If there were a lot of dead bodies of children hidden there, I think we could be pretty sure of what they said. When the time comes, you can take us directly to that secret underground palace. ”
The black-robed young man said, "I can take you to see the Ten Thousand Caves, but I won't take you to that secret underground palace." ”
Ning Xiaotang frowned and said, "Why?"
The black-robed young man said, "I can't take you to death for nothing. ”
Ning Xiaotang smiled dumbly.
