Although encountering such a tough opponent made Wang Junlin feel a little troubled, it also proved from the side that the secret account book he wanted was hidden in the Sledgehammer Iron Shop.
"Fortunately, I prepared some things in advance. Someone, bring in some of the torture instruments I prepared."
"Yes!" The four guards brought by Wang Junlin were watching outside, and the people inside the iron shop were all marquis. At this time, a guard outside the window agreed, and soon brought in a set made of tree trunks, branches, and leather ropes.
A novel gadget made of gebu and iron nails.
"Did you see it?" Wang Junlin kicked a few wooden sticks with bark and said lightly: "This thing is called a clamping stick. It will be clamped on your thigh in a while, and then it will twist the skin next to it.
String. Then pick up this thick one..."
Having said this, he paused, picked up a bowl-sized trunk with his feet, and looked back and forth under the opponent's calf, as if a butcher was choosing the best place to cut the knife, and then continued: "Use it again,
Knock your ankle bones hard. Clamp and knock at the same time. The feeling, tsk tsk, you will never forget it for the rest of your life!"
"You can just come!" After the shopkeeper of the Sledgehammer Iron Shop walked away, his face turned pale and he was trembling with fear, but he gritted his teeth and refused to back down, and even said fiercely: "In the worst case, I will leave my life to you."
I don’t believe there is anything more difficult than death in this world!”
"You will understand after a while that there are actually many things in this world that are more painful than death!" Wang Junlin snorted coldly and said in a cold voice: "Don't rush to a conclusion yet, let me introduce you one by one. Look.
Look, this is very simple, right? It’s just a few nails. After a while, I’m going to have someone press your fingers, and then smash them in along the gaps between your nails one by one.”
The shopkeeper of the Sledgehammer Iron Shop felt his scalp go numb when he heard this, but he didn't want Wang Junlin to see the panic in his heart, so he simply closed his eyes tightly, bit his mouth tightly, and said nothing.
Wang Junlin grabbed the nail and fiddled with it for a while, then put it aside. Then he bent down and picked up the pieces of Gebu from the ground, and said with some emotion: "This, it looks simple, it's just a few pieces."
It's just a wet rag, but it has a nice name, "Can't Die"! Later, when you are being tortured, I will cover your face with it. The more painful it is, the harder you want to use it.
The more you gasp, the more breathless you become. Before long, you will want to die right away. But, you just can’t live, and you can’t die!”
"And this one, this one is called 'Tickle Scratch'. Did you see the nine nails on it? It's actually very particular! It just fits right on your spine, with one in the middle and four on the left and right. Then pull it down hard...
"
"This is called 'inner beauty'. To use it, first take the upper and lower pieces of wood and clamp the soles of your feet. Then you can use a small hammer to knock the nail in the middle into the soles of your feet..."
"I, I...I said..." The shopkeeper couldn't hold on any longer, suddenly opened his eyes and collapsed to the ground.
Not only him, but the ten marquis who often tortured others in the room didn't look very good at this time. The fear in Wang Junlin's eyes unknowingly became worse.
"Then tell me quickly! As long as you tell me, I will protect you from death." Seeing this, Wang Junlin breathed a sigh of relief.
The shopkeeper gritted his teeth and said: "The secret account book is..."
Just as the shopkeeper was about to say something, something happened. A waiter who was squatting next to the shopkeeper and crying in fear suddenly jumped up. A short blade appeared in his hand and cut towards the shopkeeper's neck.
"Looking for death." Wang Junlin didn't have time to draw his knife and kicked the guy directly.
With a bang, the waiter was kicked away by Wang Junlin, but before he fell, the waiter threw the sharp knife in his hand at the shopkeeper as a hidden weapon.
Poof! The waiter hit the wall, spit out a mouthful of blood, turned pale, looked at the shopkeeper and said with a sad smile: "You want to kill the whole family..."
Before he could finish his words, the nearest marquis stepped on his neck and trampled him to death.
On the other side, the sharp blade the size of an adult's palm pierced the shopkeeper's shoulder. The shopkeeper instinctively let out a scream, but the scream had not yet ended. After hearing the words of the man, a look of madness suddenly appeared on his face, and he screamed.
The sound turned into wild laughter, Wang Junlin screamed secretly, and his body shot towards the shopkeeper like a crossbow, but in the end he was a step slower.
The shopkeeper quickly pulled out the sharp blade from his shoulder and cut his own throat. When Wang Junlin rushed forward, half of his body was sprayed with blood.
"Who knows where the shopkeeper's secret account book is hidden? If you tell me, you can live, otherwise you will die." Wang Junlin looked a little ugly and said in a cold voice.
However, no one among the thirteen clerks in the front shop and the backyard, as well as seven nursing staff, knew where the secret account book was. Wang Junlin ordered two people to be killed, and even tortured them, but they still couldn't get the answer.
In the end, Wang Junlin had no choice but to order the princes to tie up the hands and feet of these people, and ordered the princes to start rummaging through the boxes and cabinets, searching every corner. These princes were very experienced in this area, and they quickly issued the order.
There are many secrets, such as the discovery of some crossbows and other prohibited weapons, and several letters from the Khitan in the north. These things are also very important, but they are still useful against ordinary people, but they have little effect on the Changping Palace. Only the secret account books can
It can give a certain blow to the Changping Palace, but unfortunately no clues have been found.
Wang Junlin also looked around with lightning eyes. He searched every house in person, and finally came to the backyard. When he passed by a small room where debris was piled up, he finally found something.
The things in this small room were piled up too regularly. Wang Junlin called ten marquises and asked them to empty the utility room. An iron plate was exposed on the ground. The iron plate was slightly recessed into the ground, and there was a finger on it.
A thick iron chain with a large copper lock on it.
Wang Junlin pulled out the Dragon Bird sword, used his strength on the sword, and struck it down with one strike. With a 'Crack!' sound, the iron chain was cut off.
Wang Junlin tore off the chain and lifted the iron plate up with all his strength. There was a dark tunnel underneath, with vaguely visible steps. The air was fresh and there was no musty smell, indicating that people often came in and out.
This kind of underground secret room is not special. It can be found in many large houses and shops. The structure is roughly similar. The only special thing is that the entrance is difficult to find. Once you find the entrance, the rest will be simple.
Wang Junlin led four marquis into the tunnel with lanterns, while the other marquis were waiting outside.
The five people bent down the steps and entered the tunnel. The tunnel was very shallow and they only walked seven or eight steps before reaching the bottom. There was a stone door at the bottom. There were also iron chains on the stone door. Wang Junlin drew his sword again and cut off the iron chain.
There was an oil lamp hanging on the stone wall next to the stone door. Without his instructions, a marquis lit the lamp, opened the door, and five people entered the inner room one after another.
The inner room is not big, about one foot three wide, one foot nine long, and only six feet high. It is illuminated by oil lamps and lanterns, so the situation in the secret room can be clearly seen.
