Screams sounded in the dungeon.
Qin Lin sat at the entrance of the dungeon, holding a cup of tea and listening to the screams inside. He did not even frown.
Qin Lin felt his heart harden.
Or perhaps they were thinking about the evil things that Wang Shen had done in secret and felt that that fellow deserved to be tortured like this.
"Milord, Wang Shen has relented."
A captain of the Embroidered Uniform Guards wearing a leather apron walked up to Qin Lin and reported.
Qin Lin handed the teacup to the lieutenant standing beside him and said with a smile,"You're late. Let's try again tomorrow!"
With that, Qin Lin stood up and walked out of the dungeon.
The Brocade Guard lieutenants in charge of the interrogation looked at each other.
After Qin Lin left, a small school that was Qin Lin's subordinate in Beijing said,"Our adults are like this. They have to leave work after seven in the afternoon.”
"Get off work?"
"I'm quitting class!"
"Mr. Qin is indeed different from the rest!”
Someone sighed.
"Haha! Of course! Otherwise, Daren would not have been able to become a Jinyiwei guard at such a young age and obtain the Emperor's favor.”
The few of them laughed and returned to the prison.
Wang Shen was tied to the torture rack, his hair disheveled, his body covered in blood, and he looked like he was on his last breath.
Seeing the Jinyiwei who interrogated him return, Wang Shen said weakly,"I'll confess, I'll confess everything."
The Embroidered Uniform Guard captain in a leather skirt smiled and said,""You can confess tomorrow! My parents are off work."
Wang Shen was stunned. Then, he spat out a mouthful of blood and directly fainted.
……
When he walked out of the Dingzhou Guards, the sound of a system notification rang out in Qin Lin's mind.
After getting off work on time, Qin Lin received 20,000 True Qi and 2000 gold taels as a reward.
"I have 80,000 True Qi, 100,000 gold taels, and eight Closing Talismans.”
Qin Lin looked at his prize in the system and muttered.
"Have you checked it out?"
After Qin Lin returned to the residence next to the guard station, he saw Zhu Houzhao. Zhu Houzhao asked curiously when he saw Qin Lin.
"I've investigated everything." Qin Lin smiled. Some time ago, a sect master of the Demon Sect named Zhao Feng lost money in a gambling den and owed the gambling den more than 100,000 taels. Hence, he set his sights on Dingzhou's tax. Coincidentally, there were also people from the Demon Cult in the yamen. Zhao Feng arranged for people to work from the inside and outside to rob the tax money of more than a hundred thousand taels.”
"After Lord Lin found out that the tax money was robbed, he quickly found the mole in the yamen. After learning that the tax money was robbed by the Black Wood Cliff Demon Cult, he led his troops to attack the Black Wood Cliff in a fit of anger.”
"Is Black Wood Cliff that easy to defeat? Before Lord Lin could reach the foot of Black Wood Cliff, most of the soldiers had already run away. Zhao Feng, the leader of the Demon Sect who robbed the tax money, easily caught Lord Lin.”
"Zhao Feng originally wanted to threaten Lord Lin and force him to admit his mistake before letting him go. After all, Lord Lin was an official of the imperial court, and Zhao Feng didn't dare to kill him. However, this matter was told to the sect master, Invincible East. Invincible East was furious at that time and ordered people to lock Lord Lin up.”
"Later on, the imperial court sent people to Black Wood Cliff to ask for him. Although Invincible East knew the cause and effect, he did not want to let him go. He wanted the Imperial Court to agree to some harsh conditions.”
"These people in the martial arts world don't put the Imperial Court and I in their eyes.”
Zhu Houzhao said angrily after Qin Lin finished speaking.
"Yes, I am!" Qin Lin sighed.
"Brother Qin, I know." Zhu Houzhao said. This is all because in these years, our Ming Dynasty has been corrupted and some places have caused the people to live in poverty. Even during times of famine, there were people who exchanged their children for food. When I heard that, I couldn't even eat and felt uncomfortable.”
"Everyone outside says that I am a silkpants and an absurd emperor, but they don't know that in the current imperial court, the civil officials are corrupt, the martial arts sects run amok, the Ming Cult is causing trouble, and in the north, the Mongolians are eyeing our Ming Dynasty covetously. East, the Japanese are harassing the sea."
"Inside, Ning Wang has been recruiting soldiers and buying horses these few years, bribing officials. And the Dragon Guarding Mountain Villa, my imperial uncle, is also coveting my throne!”
"Sometimes when I think about this, I always feel powerless. I might as well lock myself in the leopard's room and enjoy myself. I'll forget all of this and let those civil officials torment me.”
Zhu Houzhao poured a glass of wine and drank it all in one gulp.
Qin Lin then said,"Don't be anxious, Emperor. Our Great Ming has not reached the point where it is hopeless." Let's take these things one step at a time and solve them all!”
"I think so too," Zhu Houzhao said with a smile. I've thought about it. I'll purge these Jianghu people first. So this time, I must make Black Wood Cliff disappear. Invincible East is also a talent. If I can use him, that would be even better. If not, I will take his life!"
"Qin Lin, dispatch the Embroidered Uniform Guards these few days and figure out the terrain of Black Wood Cliff. I don't want to talk to the Demonic Sect, as long as they surrender!”
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Qin Lin said sternly. At night, I will personally go to Black Wood Cliff.”
……
Under the bright moonlight.
"Xiao Jiu, do you think I'm working overtime now?”
Qin Lin used his qinggong to run through the forest as he smiled in his mind.
"Master, this is your rest time. You can do whatever you want!"”
As soon as Xiao Jiu finished speaking, Qin Lin stopped.
There was a sentry post at Blackwood Cliff ahead.
After observing for a while, Qin Lin tapped the tip of his toes on the branch and jumped over the sentry post without alerting the birds in the forest.
The Black Wood Cliff had a dangerous terrain. The Demon Cult's headquarters was built on the top of a mountain. There was only a narrow mountain path leading to the top of the mountain.
For the convenience of transportation, the people of Black Wood Cliff had built an elevator at the bottom of a cliff. The elevator could transport several tons of goods at once.
However, it was also very convenient for martial arts experts to take shortcuts.
After spending most of the night, Qin Lin had already explored the terrain of Black Wood Cliff.
At this moment, Qin Lin did not intend to leave.
Instead, he used his qinggong to reach the top of the mountain and arrived at the Demon Cult's headquarters.
If there was a chance, Qin Lin planned to save his uncle Lin Dong down the mountain.
However, this was not easy.
This was because Lin Dong was locked up in the underground palace of the headquarters. The security there was extremely tight.
