Chapter 2607 If it can happen, it will definitely happen
In the dark underground cave, everyone held torches.
There was a whooshing sound in my ears.
This made everyone feel extremely at ease.
The biggest fear when going to a place like this is the lack of wind.
In that case, people will suffocate before long.
This cave is indeed connected in all directions, and many people must have dug out vents.
According to Wen Rensheng's observation, the cave is about thirty meters away from the ground.
This distance is neither high nor low.
In fact, if used properly, it can serve as a free subway passage in Beijing.
Wen Rensheng noticed that several cave passages were straight and had obviously been deliberately repaired.
Everyone looked for the bones again and continued walking for a while.
Then they finally made a new discovery.
This time I saw an execution scene.
A row of people had their hands tied, facing the wall, and their heads had been chopped off.
Those people were obviously ordinary people, their clothes were very messy, and they came from all walks of life, including waiters, chefs, fortune tellers, scholars...
With such a complicated identity, it is unlikely that he is a criminal who deserves his punishment.
"Ah!" the detectives shouted in fright.
Although they had witnessed many murderous scenes, this kind of massacre and the surrounding atmosphere still frightened them.
Wen Rensheng frowned slightly when he saw this.
Whenever he saw human beings killing each other, although he was indifferent, he also felt displeased.
After all, many people do this not for any benefit at all, but simply because they are acting like wild beasts.
"Damn it, this underground is indeed a devil's cave!" Liu Tuiguan said angrily.
"Master, we'd better go back. There are too few people here, and we might get caught in an ambush." One of the catchers said.
"What I said is, go back immediately." After Liu Tuiguan finished scolding, his body was very honest.
After all, this is not acting or filming a TV series, and the main characters will not die before filming is completed.
Liu Tuiguan looked at the dark branch caves around him and understood that if someone ambushed here, his group would be dead.
Looking at their arrogance, this made him feel a little panic.
The group of people quickly walked back.
The sound of "squeaking" mice could be heard all around, as they shuttled back and forth in the underground cave.
Various unpleasant smells and humid air filled the place with an atmosphere of fear.
Who can live in a place like this?
There are only homeless homeless people.
At least this kind of place can provide shelter from the wind and rain.
Of course, living in such a humid, dirty and smelly place for a long time would not last more than ten years.
Unless you go up to bask in the sun every day.
Liu Tuiguan and others were relatively successful and were not ambushed. After walking for half an hour, they finally returned to the ground.
After seeing the sun, everyone felt like they were surviving a disaster.
"That place is too scary. I don't want to go down there a second time." A policeman couldn't help but said.
Even though it was taboo for Shangguan to say this, he still said it.
Anyway, whoever wants to go can go.
Death can occur at any time.
It can be said that even if thousands of people go down, they may be ambushed and die.
In that kind of narrow passage, there is no use having too many people.
On the contrary, it is easier to be tricked to death.
A fire and a barrel of lard can take care of all these people.
Ventilation will only make the fire bigger, the smoke more intense, and it will burn into a chimney.
That place has a huge advantage for those with home field advantage.
"The only way to deal with that kind of place is to introduce water from the canal for irrigation."
"It's useless. Someone did this before, and later found that the cave was connected to an underground river." Someone else shook his head.
Sure enough.
Otherwise, if it rains for many years, the cave would have turned into a ditch.
Liu Tuiguan also had no choice for the moment.
It's too dangerous to go down there to explore.
Even these few people couldn't find anything.
Unless hundreds of thousands of people are used to excavate at the same time, the cave will be completely exposed.
Then the partition segment starts searching.
This is obviously impossible.
The amount of money spent alone is countless.
Not to mention, the yards of many wealthy families are right above the caves.
If we dig, we don't know how much resistance we will face.
Thinking of this, Liu Tuiguan suddenly remembered that when several large families were ransacked and executed, only one or two side branches were killed, and the main branch actually escaped.
Now it seems that there must be a direct path to the secret passage of the cave.
As a result, those high-ranking sects will not allow anyone to destroy it.
Although it has hidden dangers, the benefits are greater.
Now that I think about it, those few high-ranking officials who were harmed will probably disappear after just half a year.
No wonder when the capital was established, when they heard that there were caves here, many officials and aristocratic families did not choose to refuse.
It seems that they also understand that the real danger is not whether the house will collapse, but the emperor and the court.
With this cave, they can escape in time when they are most in danger.
It happened that the emperor thought so too.
Afterwards, Wen Rensheng returned to his temporary home. He drank tea leisurely and stayed awake.
However, then he had a sudden idea.
Ancient people often wrote hundreds of poems over wine. What was it like?
Wen Rensheng has always maintained a clear mind as his foundation.
Because he knows very well that when faced with many strange things, reason and sobriety are the only things that intelligent lifeforms can rely on.
But today, the kind of underground cave he faced was nothing to him.
However, he has noticed that Liu Tuiguan and his colleagues have fallen into the paralysis caused by alcohol.
"It's so scary. I'm going to drink. I won't be scared anymore when I'm drunk," one of the detectives said.
The policeman drank sorghum wine, which is a high-alcohol wine.
Probably over 52 degrees.
In a normal feudal society, this kind of wine would be difficult to brew, because food is precious, and it would be good to have wine in it. Any more distillation would actually be a waste.
As a result, people automatically strike a balance between numbing themselves and food production.
It's not that ancient people didn't want to engage in high-alcohol wine, it was actually a forced balance.
If there is enough food for people to waste freely, then there will naturally be a big enough market for people to like high-quality wine.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! And this world just meets this point.
The agent was drinking alcohol heavily, anesthetizing his brainstem and cerebellum, causing his brain to fall into a coma and desensitizing himself to fear.
I have to say, why has alcohol become a social habit that straddles the East and West and cannot be given up?
It definitely has a significant effect.
This important role is in the spirit.
As for the social attributes, that is another matter.
Eliminating fear is one of them.
In ancient times, before going to the battlefield, the dead soldiers drank three large bowls of wine. Of course, it was not high-alcohol with 52 degrees. Otherwise, their walking would be unstable.
At most 8% beer type.
Three bowls are just enough to paralyze fear, allowing people to come forward and engage in a bloody fight for three minutes.
Wen Rensheng saw the policeman drinking like this.
And at the same time.
He saw the difference again.
Another policeman was also a little drunk, but he was practicing martial arts desperately.
"I want to work hard, I want to fight, and I don't want to be looked down upon."
"I have to seize every minute so that I won't regret it anymore!"
The policeman was in his 30s. According to the age of ancient people, he was already more than halfway through his life.
Many ancient people thought that their 30s were the end of their lives, so they made many wrong decisions.
The policeman is practicing martial arts hard. He must not have been so diligent before.
Under the stimulation of alcohol and fear, this person forgot about fatigue, laziness, and various reasons for being lazy, and instead worked hard.
This made Wen Rensheng feel vaguely aware: "This is real life."
"Real life will be stimulated by real substances and produce real reactions."
"Alcohol has always been associated with human civilization. It is a bad thing that causes many diseases, but it can never be completely eliminated."
"Because it has some considerable uses, and the harm is relatively limited. It will not happen immediately, but will show up in the long-term future, ten or twenty years later, and even show up on future generations, not on yourself.
"
"This kind of product can stimulate people's true nature, let people take off all kinds of laziness and paralysis, and let people face their true nature, so it is banned again and again."
"Even the so-called most developed forces cannot prohibit its existence."
As for the policeman, he was practicing his sword skills. When he couldn't hold on any longer, he fell down and fell asleep.
Maybe when he wakes up, he will still numb himself and continue to get drunk with his colleagues after get off work and listen to music...
However, at this moment, he was working hard and seriously. He was recalling his struggling youth, the time when he was completely ignorant and only knew how to make progress and work hard.
At that time, he didn't know the complexity of society, he only knew that hard work would lead to reward.
If you work hard today, the master will praise you tomorrow.
If you work hard for a month, you will make faster progress than other brothers.
If you work hard for a year, you will be much better than your brothers in the competition after one year.
After five years, the gap between the brothers has become very big.
Then he successfully entered the Yamen and was envied by everyone.
And then somehow, with the first effort, no one cared.
For the first time, I worked hard, worked hard, made progress, and achieved results, but instead I was treated as a scapegoat and gradually became disheartened.
Coupled with the fact that human nature is lazy, we start to follow the crowd.
In Wen Rensheng's eyes, the past where he was drunk and worked hard to catch people appeared.
Overall, the responsibility is still his own.
Although there are so-called suppressions on him from above, there are also many who appreciate him.
But because of his own hesitation, laziness, and unwillingness to put in all the effort, he let the pressure go smoothly and shook his head appreciatively.
So he also became an ordinary policeman.
Much better than ordinary farmers, no need to work hard.
However, he did not reach the heights he should have.
Wen Rensheng found it very interesting.
A somewhat frightening experience reflects life.
And Liu Tuiguan was also drinking with others.
It's a relative and friend whom I haven't seen for a long time.
"Brother, I'm sorry. You asked me to recommend you to be a county captain before, but I was too concerned and didn't agree."
"Now that I think about it, what does that mean?"
"As long as I don't do evil, I also know that you won't do evil. You just want to live in peace."
"I know your character, and you also know my character."
"But it's too late now. If I recommend you again, it will be your disaster. Anyway, I am very happy that you can look at me, and I am also very ashamed."
The relative comforted him and said, "Brother, you drank too much. You didn't recommend me, but I didn't complain."
"After all, you know that I am not the one who welcomes and escorts you. If I go up, I will cause big trouble."
"Many people say that you have lost your taste as an official, but I know that you are afraid of hurting the fellow villagers."
Liu Tuiguan was even more ashamed: "How long does it take to be happy in life? Like the morning dew, there are not many days to go."
"When people are over thirty, time is running out. Looking back at everything, there are few who are comfortable and many who are leisurely."
"Just for a moment, I will regret it for the rest of my life."
The relative also said: "Brother, you talk too much. It's good to be alive, so why do you have to think too much?"
"That's right, let's keep drinking."
After drinking a few more glasses, the relative showed up.
"Brother, what on earth did you do when you took the people down?"
"Haha, brother, is there anything you can't say?"
"Between the two of us, I believe you."
"Actually, I went down, nominally to track down the murderers and the dead."
"Actually, it's to check out the terrifying secret tunnel in the underground cave. What are the dangers?"
"Actually, it's also for..." When Liu Tuiguan said this, he suddenly tilted his head.
I couldn't bear it anymore, so I fell asleep.
"Damn, you drank too much!" The relative frowned and suddenly felt depressed.
He finally found an opportunity to drink this distant brother down.
Under normal circumstances, Liu Tuiguan would avoid the so-called drinking bureau.
Only under this kind of fear will one go along with the flow and drink two glasses of wine.
Many people were worried that Liu Tuiguan would delay things if he drank too much.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! So I don’t dare to let him drink more.
In fact, he knows his own strength and his own nature.
It is true that if you drink too much, you will talk more, but you will never tell your most confidential things.
Those things will be locked by him.
He is different from others.
Some people are drunk and indiscriminate, even daring to tell stories about their own affairs and murders.
But the more he drank, the more cautious he became.
They can even use the appearance of being drunk to deliberately leak some false news to others.
He has done this kind of thing not once or twice.
Wen Rensheng learned this by looking into the past.
He could only say: As for dogs, this guy is still a dog.
At this moment, this relative was deceived by Liu Tuiguan.
The relative then wrote a letter and had an eagle take it out.
The letter contains Liu Tuiguan's drunken remarks.
Because drunkenness cannot be denied and difficult to forge, the relative believed it.
How did he know that there was someone like Liu Tuiguan?
The more drunk you get, the more confused your mind seems to be, but the secrets in key places are kept more closely.
Some would say this is impossible.
In fact, this is entirely possible.
Because there is a process to getting drunk.
When someone realizes they are drunk, they will pretend to be drunk.
There are many such people.
Therefore, if you tell the truth while drunk, you will be taken advantage of.
Of course, drinking alcohol, in most cases, can make people talk less and become more talkative, thus improving social skills.
That's why alcohol has become a widespread social lubricant.
This is the root cause of repeated prohibitions.
Wen Rensheng naturally knows that abstaining from alcohol is truly good for the body.
Unfortunately, the weakness of human nature makes it difficult for a large sample of people to refuse the presence of alcohol in social situations on the table.
But now, Liu Tuiguan has used alcohol to achieve his own goals.
…………
Not long.
In the eldest prince's mansion.
"To pursue a secret?"
"It seems that they want to find the underground base of the mansion? Hahaha, it's really ridiculous. Who doesn't have a camp for dead soldiers underground?" an old housekeeper sneered.
A dead soldier stood next to him, as if he hadn't heard anything.
However, the old housekeeper didn't know that there was hatred in the eyes of this dead man.
This is the nature of the world: as long as a case can happen, it will happen.
It's a pity that many people don't understand this rule well enough.
