The injured needed medical treatment, and the sacrificed needed to be buried. Shen Hao declined the banquet invited by Wu Kai, the general of the border army, and escorted several prisoners back to Fengri City that same day.
When entering the Qianhu Prison, they chose the back door, and each prisoner was covered with a layer of black cloth, so that nothing could be seen from head to toe, and they were locked directly into a separate dungeon in the Black Flag Camp.
Twelve people died in this mission. Although the establishment of the Black Flag Battalion was procedurally required to form a written document and submit it to the Qianhu Official for review, even the pensions needed to be reported to the town governor's office. So the first thing Shen Hao did when he came back was to report the matter to Wu Changhe's desk.
When it comes to downsizing, Wu Changhe also learned some inside information about the "Pure West" operation from Shen Hao's report in advance. After learning that Shen Hao's cross-regional raid target was actually because someone was secretly smuggling supplies, and the targets of the smuggling were the barbarians in the south.
Wu Changhe was shocked, and at the same time he felt a little uncomfortable. As Shen Hao, Shangfeng was not able to participate in such important intelligence and big operations.
After the routine, Shen Hao left Wu Changhe's apartment, and the same report on death in action and pension application were also sent to the Black Flag Camp of Jingxi Town Fushi Yamen.
After thinking about it, Shen Hao transferred another part of the funds from the "Black Water" project and counted it into the separate pension of the Black Flag Camp in Fengri City. The Blackwater Project is now able to generate blood on its own. In addition, the subsidy account of the town governor's office has a lot of surplus, so it is irrelevant to spend twelve people's pensions.
This is a personal habit. In these days without war, the official position with the highest probability of death in the old Jing Dynasty was Xuanqingwei. Shen Hao felt that the fixed pension for death was a bit lacking. Extra subsidies are what Shen Hao has been doing since he was a small flag officer in Licheng. Most of the private accounts withheld from time to time are used on this.
This is also the main reason why Wang Jian and other elderly people at Licheng Health Center have always respected Shen Hao.
Perhaps he didn't expect that Shen Hao would give more money to subsidize the brothers who died in the battle. Wang Yiming was a little confused when he got the banknote. Then he nodded heavily and made a military order to ensure that the money would be paid. There was no question at all whether Shen Hao paid the money out of his own pocket or from elsewhere.
After taking care of the pensions for the fallen brothers, I went to the hospital to see the seriously injured ones, comforted them a bit, and assured them that even if they were disabled in the Black Flag Battalion, they would not be kicked out.
After all these important matters were taken care of, Shen Hao went to the dungeon sadly.
Because of the previous "Jingxi" operation, the entire dungeon in Qianhusuo was overcrowded, so a few of them were temporarily vacated. In order to maintain confidentiality, the newly arrived people could only be isolated with soundproof arrays.
Shen Hao had previously told the people below that the prisoners brought back from Ogawa would not be punished for the time being, and they would be left to dry out.
When we entered the dungeon, the smell inside was very bad and made our eyes uncomfortable. But this is how a dungeon should be. Can something so comfortable be called a dungeon?
"grown ups!"
"Well, let's get started. The seriously injured ones will be allowed to recuperate in the past few days, and the slightly injured ones will be tortured first." Shen Hao prepared to participate in the torture in person.
The seriously injured were three snakes and two with relatively low cultivation. Now the people from the medical center have come to give them medicine and their injuries have been taken care of. He put on the plate lock and lay on the ground like a stake, waiting for the injury to heal.
The other four had only lost their strength before and suffered very minor injuries. Now they are the first batch of torture.
Shen Hao was sitting in the darkness in the corner, and executions were being carried out simultaneously in three soundproof cells. The prisoners' mouths were still tied with iron walnuts. It was obvious that they were not going to let them speak for the time being and were simply warming them up.
All the side dishes were passed to these four people. Only then did the iron walnuts from these people's mouths be taken out. Shen Hao also spoke from the darkness.
"You'd better introduce yourselves first, what is your name, how much cultivation level you have, what kind of cultivation you have, what organization you belong to, and why you want to help the barbarians smuggle various materials."
Shen Hao's voice was so cold that no one could see his expression while sitting in the darkness, but an invisible sense of oppression could not be ignored no matter what.
Silent, even though they had taken off the iron walnuts in their mouths, the four people still stared at the darkness in the corner with different expressions, but did not say a word.
Silent mockery? This is pretty cool.
At least the few killers in charge of the torture grinned and laughed to themselves. It was rare for them to show their faces in front of hundreds of households, so they naturally wanted the opportunity to use all their abilities, so they were eager to meet a tough guy.
In the darkness, a rare tyranny flashed in Shen Hao's eyes.
"When I was in Licheng, I heard an old man say that there is something hard to do in torture, and it is not something ordinary people can do. It is a test of skill. Which of you can do it?"
Shen Hao asked this to the killers in several cells.
Several of the assassins were startled for a moment and then laughed, but only one of the older ones bowed back and said, "Sir, the difficulty in the craft of human wax is that people cannot be scalded to death before it becomes wax. There are many people inside." Details require constant practice, so there are not many people who know it, and even fewer are good at it. Hehe, my subordinates are not talented, but they are just good at it."
"Very good, you pick one that pleases your eyes. I also want to experience this rare craft."
"Okay, sir, just take a look!"
Shen Hao didn't like such cruel things before, but he didn't avoid it. He even felt that the more miserable these guys who killed his colleagues and brothers were, the happier he would be.
Soon, the killer, nicknamed Old Dog, picked out a skinny man, then took off his clothes and started to prepare.
"Sir, the key to this human wax is the wax oil. It cannot be too thick. If it is too thick, it will condense too quickly and make it difficult to flow. It will easily leave some places that cannot be wetted. There is also a unique secret recipe in it."
"You see this person is skinny, but skinny people generally have thicker intestines and esophagus, so the effect will be better when wax oil is injected."
"And wow, you see, after pouring the wax oil up and down, he won't die for the time being. Then make a small hole for each of his organs, pour it in bit by bit, and then it will be filled. I'm about to die, and finally when the wick is inserted and the fire is ignited, this feeling of anger will be eliminated. The craftsmanship will be completed."
Lao Gou gave Shen Hao a brief introduction to the process while preparing.
Even such simple words contain too much horror and cruelty. It is difficult for people who are not from this circle to imagine using these methods on a living person, and still creating a very delicate and delicate look.
Shen Hao had no expression on his face and said nothing. He just watched the old dog follow the process just introduced to turn the skinny guy into a complete human wax bit by bit.
"Sir, would you like to light a fire?"
