I don’t know how long it took, but a basin of cold water was poured on Ma An’s head, awakening his consciousness. He slowly woke up and opened his eyes.
What he entered was a dim room, not too big, with handcuffs, shackles and other torture instruments hanging on the walls. There was a chair in the middle of the room, and sitting on the chair was Xiao Hong, who was tightly bound. Beside Xiao Hong, stood a man with a
Behind the man in black wearing a judge's mask is a burning brazier with a red-hot iron inserted into the brazier.
"Xiaohong!" Ma An recognized the situation, shuddered, and opened his eyes. He tried to rush over, but was restrained by the tight chains on his body, and he couldn't break free no matter what. The cold water and tightness
The chains made him realize that this was not a nightmare, but a cruel and terrifying reality. He was chained to the wall, his body formed a "big" shape, and his hands and feet could not move.
Another man in black walked away from Ma An. He also wore a mask, but it was not a judge's mask, but a kid's mask. There was a water ladle in his hand. The man who just poured cold water on Ma An was naturally
It's him.
Apart from the four of them, there was no one else in the room.
"Why are you arresting us, father and daughter? Let us go!" Ma An struggled and shouted.
"Everyone is not guilty, but he is guilty of having a treasure. If you are to blame, it is because you made too much money and made others jealous." The man in black wearing a judge's mask said gloomily.
"What do you mean?"
"It seems that I have to clarify the matter so that you can understand the current situation." The judge snorted coldly and took out a red pill from his arms, "What kind of pill is this? I think you can recognize it at a glance.
Come out, please? This is why we kidnapped you father and daughter."
"This is... the Tiger Strength* Yang Dan..." Ma An was startled, and soon understood the intention of these people. He was so frightened that he broke out in cold sweat and his body temperature dropped a lot. These people must be for the Tiger Strength*
Yang Dan, that's why he took the risk and sneaked into Fu'an Inn at night and brought his family here. Presumably these people wanted to torture the father and daughter to extract a confession and ask for the origin of the elixir. But he and his daughter were the only two people in the room.
, where is his mother? And the pool of blood on the floor in the house... Could it be...
"Where is my mother? Where has my mother gone?" Ma An asked with his eyes red.
"Fu'an Inn is well-defended and difficult to sneak into. Only two people can be brought out at most, so we only brought you and your daughter out, leaving your mother in the house," the judge replied.
"Is it possible..." Ma An thought of the pool of blood and turned pale with fright. He really didn't dare to think about it anymore.
"Yes, we have killed her to avoid future troubles!" the judge said cruelly.
Ma An's head buzzed when he heard this, and he almost fainted again. The scene of his mother's murder flashed in his mind...the cold blade, the throat that wanted to scream but didn't, the fallen old body, and the dazzling...
Blood!
These villains were so cruel, so they must have kept their word, and his mother must have died. From this moment on, he became a motherless person, and could no longer fulfill his filial piety at his mother's knees.
He felt extremely painful in his heart, and his heart seemed to be shattered and turned into countless pieces of powder.
"You beasts are worse than pigs and dogs! You have lost your conscience and killed innocent people. After your death, you will definitely fall into the Avici Hell and never be reincarnated!" Ma An lost control of his emotions and cursed crazily.
"Shut up! It's not your turn to scold me. If you dare to act arrogant again, be careful of your daughter's life!" The judge shouted, pulled out the red iron from the brazier beside him, and hung it on Ma Hong.
Near the face, if it were moved even half an inch further, this little face would be burned to the point of splitting the flesh. A string of sparks floated up from the brazier and dispersed in the air, making the room look like a purgatory execution ground.
"Don't hurt my daughter!" Ma An stopped cursing and shouted. If even Xiao Hong was killed, then he really wouldn't live anymore.
"If you want your daughter's life, just listen to me and answer whatever I ask you. If there is even one word of hesitation, I will make your daughter's face bloom!" the judge threatened in a deep voice.
"No! Don't! You... whatever you ask, I will tell you. As long as you don't hurt my daughter, I will listen to you in everything." Ma Anxin has a cowardly nature, and now that his daughter is in the hands of the other party, it is really...
He couldn't stand up anymore. He knew that what the other party wanted to ask must be about Mr. Zhao. If he told him, he would betray Mr. Zhao. But in this situation, what choice did he have?
"Let me ask you, from whom did you get those Tiger Strength and Yang Pills in your hand?" the judge asked.
"Yes..." Ma An hesitated, lowered his head, and answered truthfully, "I got it from Mr. Zhao."
"Mr. Zhao? Which Mr. Zhao?"
"Hongchen Inn, Zhao Zheng."
The judge paused after hearing this, looked at another person wearing a ghost mask, and then continued to ask: "Is it him who gives you the elixir every time?"
"Yes." Ma An lowered his head and replied.
"Where did his elixir come from? Did he refine it himself, or did he buy it from somewhere else?"
"I don't know. He never told me the source of the elixir, and it's not convenient for me to ask casually."
"Do you really not know, or are you pretending not to know?" The judge narrowed his eyes slightly and pushed the soldering iron forward a short distance, until it was about to stick to Ma Hong's face.
"Don't do it! I really don't know! I'm just a medicine seller for him. How could he tell me these things?"
The judge stared at Ma An for a few seconds, and seemed to believe Ma An's words. He took back the soldering iron a little, and then asked: "When he came into contact with you, did you smell the smell of medicine on him?"
"This... I didn't pay much attention to it, there seems to be some."
"How much do you know about him?"
"I don't know much, I just know that he is the younger brother of the female shopkeeper of Hongchen Inn, and he knows martial arts. He is usually very busy, and he only meets me and chats for a while when delivering medicine. I don't have a close relationship with him.
"
"No close friendship? In other words, even if we kidnap you, he won't come to rescue you?" The judge's eyes showed a cold meaning, and the flames behind his back flickered several times.
Ma An An was horrified. If the other party felt that he was worthless, he would probably do harm to his father and daughter on the spot. He was concerned about his own life and that of his daughter, so he quickly changed his words: "He has a chivalrous heart. If he learns about our father and daughter,
If we are caught, they will definitely come to rescue us."
"Hmph, you changed your tune pretty quickly. I'll spare the lives of you, father and daughter, for later use." The judge got the answer he wanted, winked at the grimacing man, and inserted the soldering iron back into the brazier.
Among them, he walked towards the door.
The man with a grimace took out a piece of white cloth and wrapped it around Ma An's mouth to prevent Ma An from yelling. Then he also walked towards the door. The two gangsters left the house together and closed the iron door.
After arriving in the tunnel outside the house, the two people took off their masks one after another, revealing their true faces. The person wearing the judge's mask was the gloomy-looking Luo Ming, and the person wearing the imp mask was one of Luo Ming's bodyguards.
Tonight, Luo Ming teamed up with two other members and worked together to capture Ma An and his daughter in the underground secret room, and killed Ma An's mother.
The whole plan was brewing for many days. Zhou Chen, who was the most skilled in martial arts, acted as an internal agent and checked into the Fu'an Inn, and then a group of other people acted as external agents to help. This all went smoothly and no evidence was left behind. They all
It was done secretly, without alerting other people in the Fu'an Inn. Zhou Chen, who was the internal agent, had already returned to his room and continued to pretend to be asleep. I am afraid that the people in the Fu'an Inn will have to wait until tomorrow to find out what happened in the Xuanzi room.
The tragic situation, and the disappearance of Ma An and his daughter.
Luo Ming walked in the tunnel with shining fire, thinking about what to do next.
The Huli Zhuang Yang Pill really came from the Hongchen Inn. This inn has a strong background and there are two powerful warriors in the store. Shen Luoxia has reached the fourth level of heaven, so her strength should not be underestimated.
Fortunately, the difference in strength between the two sides is not huge. If some intrigues are used, there is still a way to deal with Hongchen Inn.
This Huli Zhuang*Yang Pill has a direct connection with Zhao Zheng. The next step should be to attack Zhao Zheng. It is best to capture him alive, and then follow the instructions to find out the final source of the Huli Zhuang*Yang Pill.
Just now, Ma An said that Zhao Zheng seems to have the smell of medicine, which proves that Zhao Zheng may be the alchemist. If this is the case, then the matter will be much easier to handle. All he needs to do is arrest Zhao Zheng secretly. There is no need to go there.
Alert other people in Hongchen Inn.
"Zhao Zheng." Zhou Chen muttered this unfamiliar name, his face becoming more and more gloomy.
…
Spring is warm, flowers are blooming, everything is revived, the scenery outside the window is dyed with a layer of tender green, and the fragile grasses are vying to grow, taking over the nourishment of the sun.
Zhao Zheng raised his nose and took a sniff. There was a faint fragrance of flowers in the still-chill air. As for what kind of flower it was, there was no way to verify it.
"It's a nice morning." He muttered to himself, stretched himself, closed the window, went out of the house and went downstairs.
The lobby was noisy, much livelier than usual, and people were surrounding one person, and they didn't know why.
"Who is so charming?" Zhao Zheng had this thought in his mind and quickly went downstairs.
The noise downstairs became clearer and clearer, and one person among them could be heard saying loudly: "When I wake up, I knock the wood and the wind thunders, and the folding fan shakes gently to talk about the past and the present. It is said that during the 'Warring States' period, the world was divided into seven countries, and there were seven countries competing together.
Central Plains, competing for the position of hegemony. Among the seven kingdoms, there is a vassal state called "Daxuan Kingdom", and the king is named King Wuling Dongfang Xiong. The hero of our book series is this King Wuling. Everything
The story has to start from the day he was born..."
It turned out that the person surrounded in the middle was a storyteller who was passing by. He suddenly started talking about storytelling in the lobby, and what he was telling was the story of the late legendary King Wu Ling. The story about King Wu Ling is very interesting.
So it attracted many onlookers.
There are countless treasure secrets in this world, one of the more famous ones is the tomb of King Ling. Zhao Zheng knows the exact location of this tomb, and he also knows a little bit about the deeds of King Wu Ling. He used to use this tomb The location deceived Shen Xi, but it was a pity that Shen Xi didn't believe it. He is not strong enough now and will not take the idea of this cemetery, but he will definitely go there in the future. The several treasures there are quite good, all of them are top quality. .
Zhao Zheng was very interested in the topic about King Wu Ling, so he moved to the outside of the crowd, found an empty seat, sat down, and listened attentively. (To be continued.
