There are a row of iron hooks on the walls on both sides of the basement. In front of the basement is a desk with bone-cutting knives, deboning knives, axes and other tools. In the middle is a huge millstone, and below it is a pool of blood.

.In the innermost part is a cage for fugitives, in which two dying workers are held.

Several tallow torches were lit on the walls of the basement, and the beating flames illuminated the mottled bloodstains on the walls. The air was filled with a strong smell of blood, and there were pools of blood everywhere on the ground. There were still ten pieces of blood hanging on the iron hooks.

With a few heads, even the bravest warriors will feel terrified when they see the tragic situation in front of them.

Many workers vomited on the spot. Vomiting was like an infectious disease, irritating everyone's stomachs. There were only a few people who could not vomit and remained calm.

Many of the heads hanging on the iron hooks were recognized, and the workers imprisoned here were also released by the old Zen master.

Manager Liu and the accomplices were beaten half to death by the angry workers, but Ding Yi did not stop them. However, none of these workers dared to attack Tu Xiaorong. The existence of class made these people naturally fearful of Tu Xiaorong.

Tu Xiaorong was a little panicked at first, but when he got here, he thought about it repeatedly along the way. He was no longer so afraid. Especially the workers did not dare to do anything to him, which made him regain a lot of confidence.

"Are the two adults censors from the capital?" Tu Xiaorong asked timidly.

Ding Yi shrugged.

"Censor? Is there a censor as young as me? Why are you asking about our origins?"

Tu Xiaorong said quickly: "I see that these two men are very dignified and have extraordinary bearings. They must be important figures from the capital. I have great respect for these two adults and have no other intentions."

Ding Yi smiled and said: "You don't have to guess our identities, we won't tell you, and besides, you can't guess it either."

Tu Xiaorong said: "I deserve to die for my crime. I shouldn't take chances and offend the power of the two adults. In fact, all this was Li Shanyuan's idea, and I was coerced by him..."

"Li Shanyuan? The one with the mole on his face? Dongzhu Tu, it seems that you are very dishonest. Li Shanyuan is dead now. You are still unconvincing when you put the responsibility on him."

Ding Yi shook his head and said.

Tu Xiaorong said quickly: "Two adults, this is all true. I am not lying. He is from the Tianshi Shrine. You two also know the status of the Tianshi Shrine. How can I dare not listen to him? Besides,

, he can speak well in the city lord's palace, so I had no choice but to let him control me."

Tu Xiaorong is a mind master, and his soul power is very powerful, otherwise Ding Yi would have searched his soul long ago. Ding Yi only has theoretical knowledge of the secret art of 'soul searching', and he has never practiced it. However, the most basic rules of soul searching,

It is just that he cannot cast spells beyond the level, otherwise it will backfire on him. In desperation, Ding Yi can only use questioning to get the answer.

Tu Xiaorong still harbored fantasies in his heart, hoping that Ding Yi would let him go. Ding Yi didn't say anything, but just chatted with him.

The old Zen master took everyone else out of the basement. Ding Yi hung the accomplices on the iron hooks one by one. Tu Xiaorong was put in a spiritual ring by Ding Yi and did not dare to move rashly. Besides, he was not Ding Yi's opponent.

.

"My lord, what exactly do you want to know?" Tu Xiaorong was thinking quickly, and he wanted to match Ding Yi's words.

Ding Yi said: "Don't be nervous. You are a mind master, and a terrifying mind master. Why are you so timid? Relax and tell everything you know. You can say anything you want, your background, and your education experience.

, Who do you know, where have you been..."

While talking, Ding Yi took out the tea set and started making tea in front of Tu Xiaorong.

Tu Xiaorong saw Ding Yi's superb tea-making skills, especially after drinking the 'Forgetting Water' made by Ding Yi. His nerves relaxed a lot, and he finally opened up his chat box, telling his story in full detail.

Ding Yi asked him again about Li Shanyuan's situation, and Tu Xiaorong told Ding Yi everything he knew.

Ding Yi nodded. Finally, he opened the cage and let Tu Xiaorong inside.

Tu Xiaorong quickly asked: "Sir, what exactly do you want to know? I have told you everything I know."

Ding Yi said: "This is just your one-sided statement. We still need to verify it. What are you afraid of? If what you say is true, we will naturally give you freedom."

After saying that, he ignored Tu Xiaorong and locked the cage.

After leaving the basement, the workers did not leave under the instructions of the old Zen master. Everyone was waiting for Ding Yi.

Ding Yi looked at the more than a hundred workers with frightened expressions, pondered for a while, and then said: "I know that you were all deceived by the two demons Tu Xiaorong and Li Shanyuan. You are all civilians living at home.

Ordinary people, you all come here just to get food and clothing and earn some living expenses. Have you thought about your future?"

Everyone was silent and looked at Ding Yi.

Ding Yi said again: "You were tricked into coming here to work as cattle and horses, but in the end you found that you didn't make much money, and you almost lost your life. However, luckily, luck has its way, and you met me.

, Master Hong and I saved you this time."

Many workers looked relieved.

"Many people will ask, why haven't we let you go back now? This is because if I don't explain something clearly to you, I'm afraid I won't know how you will die in the future. Tu Xiaorong, Li

Shanyuan and the others are all cultivators, and they will inevitably have three friends, senior brothers and sisters. If word of this gets out and they come to seek revenge, you and your family will inevitably be poisoned by them."

The workers became afraid.

"There is another problem. You have finally found a job. If you leave here, you will inevitably become unemployed again. This will bring new troubles to you and your family members."

"The so-called helping people to the end, sending Buddha to the West, Master Hong and I have come up with a way for you. So that you can continue to work here, and at the same time we will make improvements in benefits and working environment. If

If you stay, we can guarantee that your wages will be three to five times that of the original. Secondly, the working time every day is guaranteed not to exceed ten hours. In addition, we will not let you engage in very dangerous work.

If you have any concerns, you can raise them now, and if you want to leave here, you can leave now."

The workers began to whisper to each other and discuss. After a while, a burly man asked Ding Yi: "Is it still brewing? We don't know anything else except this."

Ding Yi looked at the big man and nodded.

"What's your name?" Ding Yi asked instead of answering his question.

The big man said: "My name is Shan Wu."

Ding Yi said: "What a good name. My name is Wu Tian, ​​and Master Hong's name is Hong Yi. I just forgot to introduce myself. Shan Wu, you are too humble. How can you know nothing but wine? Can you do laundry and cook?"

, pull a cart, lift a sedan? Live and learn until you are old, do you understand? However, you are right, what are you going to do if you stay? We still make wine first. At least we cannot waste the existing resources here, but if

If you stay, you will have to learn other skills."

An older-looking worker asked from behind: "Master Wu Xian, I want to ask, what should we do if friends like Tu Xiaorong and Li Shanyuan come here?"

Ding Yi asked the man to come to the front.

"What's your name?" Ding Yi asked.

"Replying to the Immortal Master, my name is Pei Zhi." The man replied quickly.

Ding Yi said: "You don't need to call us Immortal Master. You can call me Wu Master, or Wu Shao. If you ask this question, it seems that you are a really thoughtful person. Don't worry, Master Hong and I will stay here."

, I have already thought of countermeasures. In a few days, everyone will know what is going on. Now let me put it out of the way."

Someone in the crowd asked again: "Master Wu, we want to leave here now, is it possible?"

Ding Yi said: "That's no problem, but you must keep it a secret. You must know this matter. If it is leaked, Master Hong and I will not be in any trouble. But you and your family will inevitably be attacked by Tu Xiaorong and the others."

Chased by friends and relatives.”

The man said: "We know."

Ding Yi waved his hand and said: "If anyone else wants to leave, you can leave with him."

Ding Yi didn't even bother to ask this person's name.

More than a dozen people came out, and these people walked outside together with that person.

"Zhang Zhen, Dai Shibao, have your consciences been eaten by dogs? Master Wu and the others risked their lives to help us kill the two demons Tu Xiaorong and Li Shanyuan, and they tried their best to help us. You don't know how to be grateful, and you still want to

Once you leave, are you still human?" Pei Zhi cursed.

The two leaders looked a little ugly, but they didn't say anything. They just paused for a moment and still walked out.

After all these people left, Ding Yi said: "A snake cannot move without a head, and a bird cannot fly without wings. For the time being, I will appoint Lao Pei and Shan Wu as your leaders. In the future, if I find that there are others among you,

I will also promote other talents. At the same time, if these two people are not worthy of their morals or their abilities are not good enough, I will also replace them. Everyone will return to their respective posts for the time being. Shan Wu and Lao Pei will accompany me to look around.

.”

The workers scattered around. Ding Yi and the old Zen master took Shan Wu and Pei Zhi to look around.

Ding Yi is very familiar with brewing. In the Red Stone Country, he engaged in industrial brewing. In Tiandaomen, he, Zhu Can, and Li Xuan also opened a winery. The brewing process in the underground world is actually no different from that on the surface.

The only difference is that the raw materials for making wine are different.

After going around in a big circle, Ding Yi already had a rough idea of ​​the entire technical transformation plan in his mind.

"Lao Pei, let me give you the first task. Get rid of all these piles of firewood. I don't care whether you give them away or sell them at a low price. Give me two days to clean up this place.

." Ding Yi ordered.

"But these are necessary for making wine..." Pei Zhi quickly tried to dissuade him.

Ding Yi said: "This is the way you common people use it. We monks have many ways to make fire."

Pei Zhi suddenly realized it and quickly agreed.

Ding Yi asked again about the winery's purchasing, sales, and transportation. The two of them explained to Ding Yi.

Fortunately, the winery is not responsible for the delivery. All wineries and restaurants come to pick up the goods. However, the winery still lacks a person who is literate and understands finance. This was originally the job of Manager Liu, but now he

The man is still hanging on the wall of the basement. Moreover, this man has committed such a heinous crime that Ding Yi does not want to let him out.

"Lao Pei, Shan Wu, are there any literate people among the workers?" Ding Yi asked. The two of them didn't think about it and just shook their heads.

He shook his head.

Ding Yi frowned.
