Spiegel.

The silhouettes of the two stone statues of the pig loomed in the darkness at the door, and the two officials at the gate kept watch for the night, one on the left and one on the right, and there was a faint whisper.

"Click...... Click...... Click......"

A carriage came from the end of the street and stopped at the door, and Jiang Ru got out of it.

The first thing he saw was the two stone statues at the door, and he saw that the pig's eyes were still clearly visible in the dark, as if they had been smeared with a slick on them, and you would feel that it was always looking at you, seeing your heart, seeing your good and evil.

When the two officials saw someone coming, they immediately stopped chatting, and just wanted to ask questions, but found that the person who came crossed the threshold in an official robe and walked directly inside.

"Oh......? Isn't that Master Jiang?"

"Hey...... It's also pitiful. ”

One person sighed, and the other also agreed.

Jiang Ru came to Shangdang County to take office, but was attacked by mountain bandits on the way, and he and his daughter were the only ones left in the convoy to survive. It was really difficult to hide this matter, not to mention that the two mountain bandit leaders were personally escorted over by Jiang Ru.

The entire officialdom of the Shangdang knows about this.

The location of the two official offices of the Spiegel Division and the Yamen is extremely close, and it can be said that the entire Shangdang County has been divided into a corner, so it is not difficult to imagine how large the area occupied by these two places is!

Jiang Ru came to the Shangdang Spiegel Division for the second time this time, and under his feet was a simple bluestone slab, its decoration was not gorgeous, not even the simplest flowers and plants, and the most could be the group of dry rockeries and roads that extended in all directions.

Even at night, it's still lit up.

There were not a lot of officials coming and going, everyone looked hurried, and most of them nodded when they saw Jiang Ru, and Jiang Ru also nodded in return.

He walked straight in the direction of the Spiegel Division's black prison, the location was getting more and more remote, the people were getting less and less, and the night was even more eeriely silent.

Walking through a cobblestone-paved green path, the eyes suddenly opened up, only to see that the so-called black prison was actually built by the mountain, and the word black prison above the entrance of the cave was actually blood-colored, and the edge of the font seemed to be really dripping with blood.

Speaking of the black prison of the Spiegel Division, it is divided into 18 layers, and the more evil it is, the more serious the punishment, the lower the place where the prisoner is held.

At the door of the black prison, there are also two men in their thirties standing, their appearance is not good, but their qi is quite terrifying, and when they close their eyes, it seems that there are two fierce beasts staring at you in the dark night.

Jiang Ru's face was expressionless, he walked close and stood still, the two people at the door glanced at each other imperceptibly, and one of them said in an extremely hoarse voice: "Lord Jiang, please wait a moment." ”

Another person then said, "Please let me be searched." ”

Jiang Ru nodded, opened his hands, and the man began to step forward to search his whole body, he searched very skillfully, first pressed his hands on his face to see if he was wearing a human skin mask, and then where he could hide weapons or tiny iron weapons.

Jiang Ru could feel a rather gentle force shaking the flesh and blood, if there was something hidden in the flesh and blood, it would be sensed at once, but if he moved slightly, this force would instantly turn into the wind and waves on the sea and swallow him!

Then the breeze blew on his face, and the power of the mind was doing a final search, whether the bones had been forcibly changed, and other subtleties......

Finally, the man who had just spoken hoarsely spoke, "Lord Jiang, please come in." ”

Jiang Ru nodded, and suddenly the iron door of the black prison was pushed open, and a chill poured out involuntarily from the bottom of his heart, he didn't care, and walked forward after raising his feet.

"Bang", the iron door behind him was shut.

Ten meters apart, there were torches on both sides of the wall to illuminate the road ahead, and the flickering firelight flickered in his pupils, and Jiang Ru walked through a long road.

A wooden table, peanuts, side dishes, pork, a glass of wine, next to a twenty-year-old man, dressed as a catcher, eating fragrantly, hearing footsteps, turned around and saw Jiang Ru coming, and hurriedly got up to greet him.

"Why did Master Jiang come over so late?"

Jiang Ru had a cold face and said, "Luo Zhutou, did the two interrogate anything?"

Luo Cheng didn't care about Jiang Ru's cold attitude, after all, no matter who this kind of thing happened to, it is estimated that he would not be in a good mood, if he still has a smiling face to welcome people, it is called a heart of stone.

"Shhhh

Luo Cheng scratched his head, looking quite distressed: "How can I say it, it's really a bit troublesome...... Let's ask Master Jiang to take a look for himself. ”

After speaking, he picked up a pitch-black token on the table, took the torch from the wall, and walked straight to the depths of the corridor with Jiang Ru.

On the walls of the long corridor, oil lamps were lit one after another, and the dim candlelight illuminated the corridor, as well as the white cold mist rolling on the ground, which was half a meter high and approached the calves of the two people.

The more he walked along the corridor, the more intense the chill in his heart became, Jiang Ru couldn't help but glance back, the firelight, darkness, and cold fog gave him a strange feeling of walking at the junction of life and death, and this strange feeling made his even breathing a little faster.

The temperature in the corridor was very low, so low that Jiang Ru's breath turned into a thick white mist in the air, and he couldn't help but feel excited, to be honest, when he saw the black prison with his own eyes, he found it even weirder and terrifying than he imagined.

"Master Jiang...... Rest assured, it's still safe here. ”

Luo Cheng suddenly turned his head to look at Jiang Ru, and the smile on his face was a little inexplicable: "As long as you don't run around......"

He flung the red rope hanging from the token, and the token spun like a spinning top on his fingertips, he was in charge of the affairs of the black prison, and he was even more familiar with this place than home.

Jiang Ru came here for the first time, the black prison, this thing is only set up in Shangdang and Youzhou City, and the prisoners in other counties and governments are generally placed in the big prison of Yamen.

The two walked for a long time, passing by one cage after another, most of the prisoners in the cages were shrunk in the corners, motionless, if it weren't for the slight gasping and seeing their heads turning with the firelight, Jiang Ru would have thought that they were already dead.

He found that behind each prisoner, without exception, there were two thick iron chains embedded in it, was this considered imprisonment?

Some of the prisoners, huddled in a corner, had dull eyes, and some saw the light of the fire coming, and rushed suddenly to the sound of chains, but only halfway there.

The chains strangled him like a living thing, and the flesh began to turn blue and black, and the blood soaked the chains, as if the chains became more crazy and tighter because of the taste of blood.

Seeing that the prisoner was about to be strangled alive, Luo Cheng let out a "sigh" and hit the lower iron bar with a token, and the iron chain instantly returned to its original state, and the prisoner collapsed to the ground, salivating at the corners of his mouth, and was shocked.

Until the two of them walked away, a terrible cry suddenly erupted from behind.

"Lord Jiang is scared, right?"

Luo Cheng's somewhat frivolous words sounded, and then let out a burst of unkind laughter: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, this black prison is full of death row prisoners and prisoners. ”

"A certain family has nothing to say to them, I haven't seen my colleagues come in for a long time, and I can't help but ridicule a little for a while. ”

Jiang Ru shook his head, in fact, he didn't care, just a few words he already understood a little bit of Luo Cheng's daily life, although it was not dark, but he would definitely not be able to run away if he was bored.

The road is beyond imagination, as if it has been moving forward, and there is no end to it. But Jiang Ru knew that they were going all the way down, but because the design of the black prison was too ingenious, it gave people the illusion that there was no end.

It's just that as I walked, the white fog that had been condensed on the ground for a long time disappeared without a trace.

At the same time, as if crossing a certain boundary, earth-shaking changes took place in the corridor, shrouded in a layer of haze, the color of this haze was dark with a little scarlet, and a thick and pungent smell of gunpowder smoke came to the face, almost suffocating.

Jiang Ru just subconsciously took a breath, and he felt a sharp pain in his heart and lungs as if it was burning, and he felt a serious lack of oxygen.

What shocked him even more was that the black smoke was really strange and abnormal, as if it was alive, and it couldn't wait to burrow into his mouth and nose, Jiang Ru just inhaled a little, and he felt dizzy.

However, when he came back to his senses, he found that the physical aspect did not have much impact, but the spirit or the heart lake was gradually decreasing and drying up.

The prisoners in the surrounding iron prisons also became very different, they all looked crazy, their eyes slightly glowed red, their heads turned as the two of them moved, and the killing intent was unleashed unscrupulously.

It's just that because of the chains, they didn't pounce on the attack.

"The incompetent dog is just barking, and Lord Jiang doesn't need to care. ”

"We've reached the twelfth floor, and all the martial artists who are imprisoned here are from the One Realm, these are all newcomers, and they won't be like this in two days. ”

Luo Cheng's eyes were playful, his gaze swept around, and those fierce criminals buried their heads deep between their knees like quails of fierce beasts.

"Hahaha......"

Luo Cheng let out a burst of arrogant laughter, he shook the token on his hand, only to see the lines of the word mirror on the token suddenly light up, and a wave of Haoran Zhengqi emerged, enveloping the two of them.

Since then, Jiang Ru has understood in his heart what the means of restricting the prisoners in the black prison are, first planting them with iron chains, and then this strange black smoke absorbs the power of the heart.

"It's almost there...... The bandit leaders of the two mountains are a little special, and we have given us some special care, so they are placed on the twelfth floor, otherwise they don't need to walk for so long. ”

Luo Cheng said.

After a while, the thick fog of billowing darkness and blood light gradually dissipated, and the candle flame illuminated the light and shadow in front of it, pulling the shadows of old tables and chairs, and the faint sound of words was mixed with the dull sound of knives slashing through flesh.

There were also faint cries of pain.

But at this moment, Jiang Ru's attention was all on the almost inaudible cry of pain, which was a voice that he would never forget in his life, and a trace of scarlet flashed under his cold pupils.

Luo Cheng, who seemed to be aware, turned his head and glanced at Jiang Ru, a smile on the corner of his mouth and disappeared in an instant.

In just ten steps, the eyes suddenly opened up, similar to a prison cell, a strong and fat man, wearing the work clothes of a butcher slaughtering pigs, and next to him stood a young man with a wooden expression, he was holding a ghost-headed knife in his hand, with a cold murderous aura and bloody smell.

The two talked very seriously, ignoring the two who came over.

Jiang Ru raised his eyes and looked around, and then fixed his gaze on the side and back of the young man and the man.

On the torture rack, Zhao Youfu and Zhao Youcai hung on it, their hair was scattered, and they were wearing white prison uniforms, which were stained with large dark red blood stains.

They didn't react at all to the arrival of Jiang Ru and the others, and they had already fainted.

Jiang Ru's eyes showed a hint of pleasure.

The brothers did not have a good piece of meat in their bodies, and there were countless leeches crawling on their bodies, and there were dense silver needles stuck in the temples on both sides, so that they would not be forced unconscious by the instincts of their bodies due to the severe pain.

The hands and feet are in tatters, only supported by the skin and flesh outside, and the eyeballs under the eyelids also show a fragmented appearance, although they remain in their original state, but if you open your eyes at any time, you will feel that they will burst out in the next second.

Maybe...... For the two brothers, Zhao Youcai and Zhao Youfu, if time could be turned back, they would prefer to die on the official road with their brothers that day.

often floats in the rivers and lakes, how can you not be knifed.

To tell the truth, they had already expected this day when they came out to rob their homes and kill people, but when the brothers wanted to commit suicide, it was too late.

In fact, Zhao Youcai had the best chance to commit suicide, but unfortunately he was scared stupid at the time.

It's no wonder that the situation that was originally safe to win was overturned in a breath, the eldest brother was beaten to death, and at that time he thought that the target of the attack was the right one.

You must know that according to the plan, no one will come on that official road, and no matter how much noise there is, it will be fine.

But what about the result...... By the time they reacted and wanted to end their lives, the bones of their bodies had already been removed, let alone suicide, and they couldn't even move a finger.

Subsequently...... They were sent to the Black Cell, where the butcher gave them a miraculous elixir that restored their badly damaged bones, and then the abyss of despair began......

Their teeth were pulled out one by one, and the strange fiery red and black smoke eroded their will, and Ling Chi's punishment became ordinary instead, and all kinds of unimaginable punishments were used on them.

At this time, the strong man stopped talking to the young man and patted him on the shoulder, then turned his head to look at Luo Cheng and Jiang Ru, and said with a smile: "Yo, Luo boy is here?" Who is this?"

"Jiang Ru, Master Jiang...... Specialized in the criminal trial of the Spiegel Division. ”

"Jiang Ru ......"

"Oh!?"

The strong man hissed, and then remembered, after all, the prisoner was still under his hands.

"Ouch...... That's not a coincidence, just now they just fainted. The strong man said with some regret, and then let out a heroic laugh: "Haha...... In the days after that, we will probably have to deal with each other. ”

No, prisoners who are usually interrogated by Jiang Ru are usually put in black prisons.

Luo Cheng raised his chin slightly and pointed at the strong man, and introduced: "This one, nickname, butcher!"

He quietly approached Jiang Ru and whispered: "He doesn't like people to know his name, anyway, after so many years, the butcher is used to being called, and Lord Jiang is also called so." “

Jiang Ru bowed to him.

At this time, Luo Cheng looked at the young man with a wooden expression and wanted to open his mouth, but unexpectedly, the butcher said first: "This kid's name is Duan An, the executioner in the yamen." “

Jiang Ru didn't ask why the executioner was in such a strong place as the Black Prison, but nodded at him kindly.

Duan An reciprocated with a sincere smile.

"This An, don't look at his appearance a little wooden, hey~ This kid is very murderous, Master Jiang, you probably will have to deal with him in the future, this little guy is very evil!"

Luo Cheng hugged his shoulders and teased.

On the contrary, Duan An looked embarrassed and touched the back of his head shyly.

"A bunch of interesting weirdos. ”

Jiang Ru said in his heart.

He asked Luo Cheng: "Luo Zhutou, you should talk about these two people first, who instructed them." ”

Luo Cheng shrugged his shoulders slightly, a little helpless, he said: "You have also seen the appearance of these two people now, there is almost no one who can not explain clearly under the hands of the butcher!"

"They...... The only useful thing offered is a half-name, named Mr. Liang. ”

According to them, their cottage has been accepting transactions from a mysterious person since six years ago, and this mysterious person, known only as Mr. Liang, provides weapons, food, and meat, and in exchange, these mountain bandits have helped Mr. Liang do many shady things. ”

"Actually, don't look at this guy. ”

Luo Cheng stretched out his finger and pointed at Zhao Youfu: "This guy seems to have a bit of a brain, but in fact, he is regarded as a chess piece and doesn't know it, what he knows and understands is all deliberately revealed to him by Mr. Liang." ”

"According to the names, appearances, and characteristics of the people Zhao Youfu confessed, we searched for most of the files, and guess what...... None of them matched.

"What about them? They are only responsible for killing people, and as for the real origin and relationship of the people who killed them, Mr. Liang told them.

"You can say ...... It's a complete idiot. ”

Jiang Ru's brows furrowed deeply, and in just a few words, he clearly knew that the relationship between the two was completely unequal, which also meant that the mastermind of killing his wife and children was still missing, and the vast sea of people went to find this so-called Mr. Liang?

At this time, Luo Cheng glanced at Jiang Ru with some reluctance, and finally said:

"Actually......

"Actually...... There is still a point that is still useful.

"They said that a man in a green carriage was going to be killed at that time, and if he saw it wrong, he killed it wrong!"

"Killed the mistake?!"

Jiang Ru's pupils widened, completely incredulous, he couldn't believe his ears, he asked again, "Kill the mistake?!"

Their carriage was scarlet throughout.

Jiang Ru laughed and muttered, "Kill the wrong one?"

"Hey......"

Luo Cheng sighed quietly, reality is always much more absurd than the stories told by storytellers.

Duan An, who was listening carefully on the side, had some pity in his pupils, and was about to say something, when his shoulder was pressed down by the butcher, he shook his head gently, and Duan An could only shut up.

Yes, one of their brothers was called Rabbit, and that rabbit was their confidant, and for some reason he mistook the color. ”

"We got the message of everyone passing by on the official road, and there were only three convoys passing by that day, one was you, one was Gongsun Yan, and the other was the hundred generals of the Shanzi battalion,

Oh, no, it's already two or five hundred masters, Li Xian, Li two five hundred masters, he also happened to go to the party to participate in the martial arts, so he saved your lives. ”

Jiang Ru nodded, and finally turned to the butcher and said, "Can I take these two people away?"

The butcher looked at Jiang Ru's eyes, was silent for a while, lowered his head and said to Duan An next to him, "Go and cut off two people's heads above." “

Duan An didn't say anything, nodded in agreement, picked up the ghost-headed big knife and walked straight out.

After all, those who can be locked up in the black prison will die sooner or later, and it is a blessing for them to die a long time ago.

At this moment, a hoarse and faint cry of pain came out of Zhao Youfu's mouth, and he woke up!

The figure in front of him was blurry and blurry, and it was not a blur caused by the fact that he had just woken up from a coma, but because his eyeballs were too badly damaged.

But despite this...... He still recognized those cold eyes, like a lava lake under a volcano, ready to erupt and overturn them.

"Hahaha......"

Zhao Youfu suddenly let out a burst of crazy laughter, he was crazy!

Jiang Ru frowned, this was not what he hoped to happen.

"Haha...... Don't worry, he can't go crazy. The butcher chuckled.

I saw him walk in front of Zhao Youfu.

"Ahhh......hh

It seems that even if Zhao Youfu is crazy, he still maintains a great fear of the butcher, and he screams louder and louder.

The butcher turned a deaf ear, and watched a dark shadow rise in front of him, and as soon as the shadow appeared, the temperature of the entire cell dropped to a freezing point.

The black shadow stretched out his blurred arm and pulled it directly at Zhao Youfu's heart, and then suddenly retracted back into the butcher's body.

And the butcher couldn't help but stick out his tongue and lick around his lower lip as if he had tasted it.

And as the black shadow disappeared, Zhao Youfu regained his senses and let out a hoarse howl.

Jiang Ru's pupils couldn't help but shrink suddenly, and a trace of fear flashed in his eyes, but he still bent down gratefully towards the butcher.

The butcher hurriedly dodged and dodged: "You're welcome...... Brother Jiang. “

At this moment, a smell of blood spread, and Duan An came back with two heads with relieved faces!

"Alright...... OK!"

Luo Cheng clapped his hands, his eyes narrowed, and he smiled: "Now, it's complete!"

Or ...... Have a little wine?"

I don't know where he took out a small wine bottle and shook it in his hand.

At this moment, the butcher also took out a piece of bacon from the wine vat in the corner of the cell.

Jiang Ru looked at these people and finally nodded.

A few people sat down, bacon on the table, a stack of side dishes, and a pot of good wine.

Luo Cheng smiled, he took a sip of wine, stretched out his index finger and pointed to Duan An: "This kid is very timid, and he accepted the reward from the Spiegel Division alone. ”

Jiang Ru raised his eyes, looked at Duan An, who was a little shy, and then asked, "Whose reward!"

"Hahaha......"

Luo Cheng patted his thigh and laughed, and said, "Evil tiger, Liu Xiang." ”
