"Master Hou!" Leng Buyan stepped forward and saluted.
"Master Leng!" Mr. Hou returned the greeting.
"It seems that Leng is still late." Leng Buyan said looking at the current scene.
"It's not too late. We are going to Song Mansion and we need Lord Leng to clear the way."
"Okay!" Leng Buyan responded, immediately turned his horse's head and walked towards Song Lei's home.
Just like what they discussed just now, there are still many people hiding in the secret room of Song Mansion.
So they have to act quickly to avoid any surprises.
The group of people soon arrived in front of the Song Mansion on East Street.
Leng Buyan motioned to his men to call the door.
No one answered for a long time.
Leng Buyan commanded: "Knock the door open!"
So three or five men stepped forward together and broke open the closed door of Song Mansion.
The yard was a mess.
It seemed like he had just experienced a disaster.
There was a little girl who was about to run away with a package. When she saw someone breaking in, she immediately screamed in fright: "Ah!"
"Come here, tie up all the people in the yard and wait for them to be punished."
Leng Buyan spoke.
The officers and soldiers under his command were all over the yard arresting people.
Xiao Mu and others have no time to care about these things.
After he entered the hospital, he immediately ran towards the backyard.
Thick smoke was already coming out of the backyard, and Xiao Mu had a bad feeling.
When he ran to the backyard, he happened to see two men in black trying to escape by jumping over the wall.
Xiao Mu picked up two stones from the ground and hit the wall-climber in the back.
Only two whooshing sounds of breaking wind were heard, followed by two screams.
One of the men in black fell to the ground, and the other struggled and fell outside the wall.
When Eleven saw this, he immediately rushed over, climbed up the wall, and threw the person back from the outside.
The place where the smoke came out was the Buddhist hall where the secret room was located.
Xiao Mu directed the officers and soldiers to fetch water to put out the fire, and then asked the captured servants about the location of the well water.
But the fire is too strong, and these people alone may not be able to rescue all the people before they burn below.
While Xiao Mu was thinking hard about a solution, a dark cloud suddenly floated from the east.
There were several rumbles of rolling thunder, and raindrops as big as peas poured down, directly extinguishing the raised fire snake.
When the heat subsided a little, Xiao Mu immediately ordered someone to open the door of the secret room, revealing the passage leading to the underground.
Except for Xiao Mu and Eleven, no one at the scene knew what was under the secret passage.
Leng Buyan and Hou Ye looked at such a secret room, and their expressions turned ugly.
The official residences where local officials lived were arranged by the imperial court.
But when the imperial court was building it, it would never build such a large secret room in the courtyard.
At present, it seems that the stone bricks at the entrance of the secret room have been polished very smooth.
It can be seen that this secret room has been used for a long time.
"Come a few people with me. There are people below. We have to rescue the people below first." Eleven shouted.
"yes!"
Several officers and soldiers came up immediately.
They lit torches and walked down the passage one by one.
People were moved up from below one after another.
Soon, the yard was filled with people.
There were nine girls, one child, five young adults, and two gray-haired old men, a total of seventeen people.
All eleven young men knew each other, they were the guards who were knocked unconscious together with the Marquis.
As for the other people present, no one recognized them.
"Why aren't these people awake yet?" Leng Buyan leaned back and gave up the front position to Mr. Hou.
"Sir, I just tried the little ones. They are all in a coma. I don't know why, but they can't be woken up."
A guard replied.
"Go and find some doctors nearby! The more, the better!"
The Marquis ordered!
"Yes!" Someone immediately responded.
"Who are these people?"
Leng Buyan asked someone to bring a woman from the Song family and asked.
The mother-in-law seemed to be frightened by the scene in front of her.
She looked at the group of people lying in the yard, trembling with fear: "I don't know, I really don't know! Why are there these people in our yard?"
It didn't look like she was faking her panic.
Leng Buyan called the others.
But these people's reactions were basically the same as that woman's.
I don’t even know what happened to these dozen people.
Leng Buyan exchanged a look with Mr. Hou: "It seems that Song Lei did it very secretly and asked the man in black to come and question him."
The two men in black who were hit by Xiao Mu had been tied up tightly.
When one of them was brought to Leng Buyan and Lord Hou, Xiao Mu recognized him immediately:
This is the monk who took care of the Buddhist temple.
"So it's you!" Xiao Mu showed a mocking smile.
"I didn't expect you to wake up so quickly. Hand over the antidote!"
The monk originally wanted to pretend not to know.
But when he saw Xiao Mu, he knew that there was no point in pretending.
"I won't hand it over."
"Anyway, you will kill me if I hand it over. If I don't hand it over, I can live a little longer. That's right, sir!"
The final sound of the word "adult" rises, even a bit rogue.
This look was very familiar to Mr. Hou.
During previous wars, they would also capture some prisoners.
Some prisoners, when frightened, will quickly tell the truth, and even tell things that others have not asked.
But some people are so determined to die that they won't speak no matter how they ask.
This is the look on the monk's face now.
This trick of his works very well.
He didn't say enough words, but still let the other party have hope.
He feels that the antidote is within his body, and if he interrogates carefully, he will find it out sooner or later.
But the interrogators will eventually discover that there is no antidote or that he will not tell it at all.
If he were an ordinary person, he might have fooled him and delayed his time, perhaps giving him a chance to make a comeback.
But Mr. Hou won’t.
"Eleven, let him have a taste of our cavalry's skills."
After receiving the order on the 11th, he immediately stepped forward, took out a finger-long knife from his arms, and without saying a word, he cut off the monk's ear.
The monk hadn't felt the pain yet, but suddenly he felt a stream of heat flow out from the base of his ears.
Immediately afterwards, he saw an ear lying on the ground in a pool of blood.
"ah……"
Not only the monk collapsed.
Everyone else present was stunned.
Shouldn't torture be done gradually?
First use coercion, inducement, and then intimidation. If that doesn't work, use some small tricks.
Why are there people who cut off their ears as soon as they come up?
"You... you, as imperial officials, are so cruel in your methods!"
The monk pointed at Eleven with a trembling finger and said.
When Shiyi heard the words, he laughed softly: "You are a monk who does not eat fast, chant Buddha's name, and save all sentient beings, but here you help the tyrants and harm the living beings in front of the Buddha. People like you will be punished even if they die. Knife Mountain, lower the oil pan.
I just cut off your ear for the king of hell first.
Let me ask you again, where is the antidote? "
