Prince Wu's Mansion has been sparsely populated since the first generation of King Wu Huo Qiong. To be able to stand for a hundred years in the complicated world, Huo Zhan is indispensable. Although Huo Zhan is now ninety years old, his internal strength has accumulated stronger and his kung fu has become more and more unfathomable. Yesterday, he was the one who broke Tian Shile's heart with his finger.
Huo Zhan led Wang Luochuan to the west side courtyard of the mansion and stopped in front of the door of a side room. He turned around and warned: "The God Catcher King is a smart man. You should understand what you should see and what you shouldn't see, what you should say and what you shouldn't say. My palace only needs to find out the murder case of the young prince. As for other matters I don’t want to create too many complications.”
Wang Luochuan looked shrewd, and said with cupped hands: "Senior, don't worry. This junior has been in the world for more than ten years. If you can't control your mouth, how can you stand today."
Huo Zhan nodded with satisfaction and led Wang Luochuan into the room.
Arriving at the room, Huo Zhan tapped his feet a few times. The stone slabs on the ground opened automatically, revealing a dark underground dungeon.
Wang Luochuan was horrified: "Build a dungeon in the house? Prince Wu's Mansion is really careful. But, if someone comes to rob someone, they probably won't even be able to find the door."
Following Huo Zhan into the dungeon, I felt dark, damp, and smelling of mold. The oil lamps hanging everywhere were stained with black spots and could not shine too brightly. A wide passage extends forward seven to eight feet deep, with about twenty iron prisons on both sides. There are gold-armored guards guarding each prison in front, with tall and straight postures, and they are powerful and difficult to approach.
Wang Luochuan glanced casually and saw that every cell was full of people. The small dungeon held hundreds of prisoners. And those prisoners were all heavily chained, covered with scars, lying on the ground panting and moaning.
Seeing this situation, he was not surprised. Prince Wu's Mansion has been able to firmly control the flag city for nearly 150 years, but during this period no other forces were able to invade, so naturally they had some ruthless tactics.
At the end of the dungeon, there is a wide stone room with two braziers burning brightly. When I walked in, I saw a table and chairs stained with blood, and a wall covered with prison sentences. There were two people hanging high on the beams.
Seeing that the two people had lost their human appearance, their skin was full of ulcers and pus, like rotten roasted suckling pigs. It was terrible to look at. But there is still breath.
Looking at the appearance of these two people, one is tall and slender, with muscles as strong as iron. The other one was pale and thin, with small eyes and narrow eyes, and a skinless body. You can tell at a glance that one is Huo Zhen, the butcher in the sword, and the other is Mo Juxian, the bat in the night.
Since Huo Bafeng's death, Huo Yuan ordered his men to torture the two of them. The methods of Prince Wu's Mansion are also clever. They beat two people with one hundred iron whips each hour with iron whips. Then, they are fed expensive medicines to let the wounds heal. Such repeated torture made the two of them live and die, live and die!
Leading Wang Luochuan into the stone chamber, Huo Zhan pointed at the two of them and snorted coldly: "These are Huo Zhen and Mo Juxian. You can ask yourself, I will wait for you outside."
Wang Luochuan nodded: "Thank you, senior."
Huo Zhan left the stone room and walked not far before standing and eavesdropping. Wang Luochuan noticed it and smiled in his heart. Huo Zhan was really loyal to Prince Wu's Mansion.
Looking at the two people in front of him, he clicked his tongue and said: "Slay tens of thousands and kill Huo Zhen, and the flying fox Mo Juxian. You two are also famous figures in the world. I don't want to end up like this. It's embarrassing. However, as the saying goes, you can use money to replace others. Eliminate disasters. You took other people's money but did not prevent disasters for others. You deserve to suffer."
Hearing the strange and disgusting voice, the weak two people slowly opened their eyes!
Huo Zhen gasped, stared at Wang Luochuan, and said angrily: "Who are you? You are saying such sarcastic words here! If you really have a conscience, kill me with one knife. It will save me the pain!"
Wang Luochuan chuckled, sat down at the table, and proudly put his legs on the table.
Picking up the bloody whip on the table and playing with it, he said casually: "I'm arresting King Luochuan! Prince Wu's Mansion specially invited me to investigate this case. If you cooperate with me and find out this case, maybe your master can be spared." There is only one way for you to survive. Otherwise, you will only be tortured here every day, fearing that you will never get ahead."
Mo Juxian couldn't bear the torture long ago, but now as long as he can survive, he will not hesitate to let him recognize his father. He begged urgently: "Ask! Just ask quickly. As long as I can escape from this hell, I will tell you anything."
Wang Luochuan nodded with satisfaction and said: "Okay! I already have a general understanding of the case that day, so there is no need to mention it again. What I want to ask about is Huo Bafeng's past. Since he is on the Black Blood Tower blood list, he must have done something. Things that offend people. You have followed him for so many years, so you must know everything about it."
Mo Juxian hesitated for a while and turned back to look at Huo Zhen. The two looked at each other with fear.
Seeing the two people's hesitation, Wang Luochuan stood up and smiled: "Oh! It's already here, I don't want to say anything yet. It seems that you two are used to staying here and don't want to go out. Then I'll go, and you can continue to stay and eat the whip. Bar."
Seeing that Wang Luochuan was about to leave, Mo Juxian panicked and shouted: "Don't leave, I'll tell you anything. As long as you can save me, I'll tell you anything. But, the young master has done too many things in the past few years, we don't You know where to start. You have to let us think about it!”
Wang Luochuan stopped and reminded: "The blood list of the Black Blood Tower was a reward a year ago. Just think about what he did a year ago to make others not stop until they kill him. And he can give out 50,000 taels. The person who rewards you with silver should be either a wealthy businessman or a wealthy family."
Hearing this, Mo Juxian and Huo Zhen looked at each other and seemed to have thought of something.
Seeing the expressions on the two men's faces, Wang Luochuan knew there was something going on.
Mo Juxian did not dare to hide it anymore and said truthfully: "The young prince has been addicted to women since six or seven years. But he has long been tired of women with fireworks. About five years ago, he began to secretly abduct girls from good families and bring them back to the mansion to enjoy. Huo Zhen and I couldn't stop him, so we could only help him take care of his funeral. Later, we saw that the young prince's method of robbing people was not very clever, so we had to do it for him. "
Wang Luochuan sneered: "You are really good slaves. It's a pity that there is no airtight dense forest. I think there must be some fish that slipped through the net."
Mo Juxian sighed: "That's true. Our hands and feet have always been clean, and no one noticed. Until a year ago, the young master was having fun in Huaxian Tower, and suddenly a man broke in and stabbed him, and we caught him on the spot. After interrogation, Only then did we learn that a heavy rain had washed out a female corpse from Beishan Mountain in Qicheng City. The man recognized it as his wife who had been missing for many days, and also found out that the fatal knife marks on the corpse were made by Huo Zhen's broad-backed sword. . So, he secretly investigated the young prince and learned a lot of things. Later, he waited in Huaxian Tower to seek revenge from the young prince. Unfortunately, he was too incompetent and was caught on the spot by me. "
Hearing this, Wang Luochuan's eyes froze: "You caught him, didn't you eliminate the root cause?"
Mo Juxian sighed: "Originally, I wanted to kill him. But the young prince got angry and asked us to cut off the tendons of his hands and feet, cut out his tongue, and throw him to the mountains behind Qicheng to feed the wolves. At that time, this incident It was Huo Zhen who took care of the matter."
Wang Luochuan looked at Huo Zhen and asked, "Didn't you kill him?"
Huo Zhen frowned and said angrily: "I severed the veins in his hands and feet, cut out his tongue, and dumped him in the mass grave at the Dead Husband Mountain in the north of the city. The next day I sent someone to check his body. Bones. But a word "hate" written in blood was found on the ground! And the man had disappeared. Judging from the traces at the scene, he should have been rescued. "
Mo Juxian rushed to speak: "We have been very clean over the years and will never make mistakes. If there is a fish that slips through the net, I am afraid this is the only one. Moreover, his family is rich and he has the ability to spend a lot of money to publish the blood list in the Black Blood Tower!"
Wang Luochuan: "It seems that you also investigated that person's background afterwards. Who is he?"
Huo Zhen raised his head and said bitterly: "He is Duan Longfeng, the son of Duan Jinhai, the richest man in Chenghu County, Qicheng City. When I saw him being rescued, I immediately led people to Chenghu County to silence him. But when I arrived at Duan's house, people had already gone there The building was empty. Later, I sent people to track for several months, but there was no trace of the Duan family, so I stopped paying attention. I thought that he, a merchant family, knew that he had no ability to compete with Prince Wu's Mansion, so he must have gone to a remote area to settle down. "
After Wang Luochuan heard this, he immediately had an idea. It was obvious that Duan Longfeng's hatred for Huo Bafeng had already penetrated deep into his bones. If he gets Huo Bafeng's head, he will definitely take it to his wife's grave to worship. His wife's grave is located on the Dead Husband Mountain in the north of the city. Judging by the time, maybe he is still in Beishan at this time!
Thinking of this, Wang Luochuan planned to immediately go and capture Duan Longfeng. In this way, it can be regarded as a great contribution to Huo Yuan.
Looking up at the two dying people in front of him, Wang Luochuan smiled and said, "Thank you both for your help. I'll take my leave now."
