"This is the Salt Gang's recent refining of alloys."

The sound of two blades clashing sounded.

Apart.

A small gap suddenly appeared on Pei Qiantong's short knife, but Zhen Mingku's dagger was unscathed.

Pei Qiantong was shocked, staring at the dagger in Zhen Mingku's hand, just such an exchange could cause such damage to the blade he was carrying, it can be seen that if a fierce warrior like Wei Chi Jingde slashed with this alloy blade, what kind of lethality it would cause to the enemy, the result can be imagined.

He asked thoughtfully, "How much has this alloy ore gang refined?" ”

Zhen Ming smiled bitterly and said: "This is the only one, it is not easy to mass-produce it, and they have not yet obtained the secret recipe for refining." ”

Pei Qiantong's eyes lit up, and he looked at Zhen Ming for a while, and said with a smile: "It seems that I underestimate you." ”

Zhen Mingku said: "The secret recipe of this hard alloy is only known to me. ”

Pei Qiantong began to talk about the conditions: "I have five people in my hands, one of them is a woman who has signed a deed of sale, it belongs to me, I can give her to whoever I want, I heard that you did not hesitate to run to all the casinos in Luoyang City in order to find her, presumably she is the woman you want to get at all costs." ”

Zhen Mingku was silent.

"The more beautiful a woman is, the greater the price she wants to pay, this tofu Shih Tzu, even I can't help but be a little moved when I see it, what are you going to exchange for her? A mere 30,000 taels of silver and the information of the secret granary of the mining gang could not be exchanged for the lives of the five of them. ”

As if he had expected Pei Qiantong to be so difficult, Zhen Mingku didn't think much about it, and said: "I just want my friends not to be harmed, as for the secret recipe, it doesn't matter who it is." ”

"As long as I tell the whereabouts of the secret recipe and the official silver, I can release the five of them, you know, I bought the Zhang family at a great price."

Zhen Mingbitter was silent for a while, and said, "I want to make sure if they are still alive first." ”

Pei Qiantong stood up: "You come with me." ”

……

Pei's mansion occupies a large area, which shows that the salt gang has strong financial resources, Zhen Mingku followed Pei Qiantong out of the house, walked through a long corridor and several pavilions, and walked a long way before arriving at a lotus pond in the back garden.

Pei Qiantong walked to a stone lighthouse by the pond and turned the lighthouse a few times to the left and right.

On a nondescript meadow on the shore of the pond, the sound of a mechanism turning, and an entrance and staircase slowly rise from the ground, and from the direction of the passage, the dungeon appears to be beneath the pond.

The passages of the dungeon were filled with a smell of blood and musty.

At the end of the aisle was a execution hall and several dark cells, which were filled with all kinds of familiar torture instruments.

Bloody iron hooks, rusty chains, stoves and soldering irons, tiger shackles, wooden horses......

When he first came to Luoyang, he learned all the taste of these torture instruments in the prison of Luoyang City.

There were more than a dozen prisoners in the cell with colorless faces and frightened eyes, and when they saw Pei Qiantong coming in, they knelt down and begged for mercy.

Zhen Mingku, who had been silently following Pei Qiantong all the way, suddenly asked: "Doesn't it break the law to set up a private prison?" ”

Pei Qiantong smiled proudly: "Who is the score, if ordinary people set up a prison privately, of course they will break the law." ”

The implication is that even if he Pei Qiantong is privately imprisoned, no one dares to make irresponsible remarks about him.

Zhen Mingku stopped talking, and the two walked to the last cell of the dungeon.

In the cell, the dying fat dragon was lying on the ground, coughing incessantly, and there was already a puddle of blood beside him.

Except for a few non-fatal stab wounds to his chest, his legs had been broken and swollen to twice their usual thickness.

There were dozens of golden needles inserted in his body, Sun Langzhong was sitting on the side, still giving him needles, and from the look on his face, Feilong's injury was not optimistic.

"Dr. Sun."

Sun Langzhong raised his head when he heard this, and when he saw that it was Zhen Mingku, his face was happy, and then he found Pei Qiantong beside him, and immediately became worried: "Life is hard, why were you, why were you also arrested by them?" ”

"I'm fine, I'm sorry to bother you."

When Sun Langzhong heard this, he realized that Zhen Mingku was not caught by Pei Qiantong, and hurriedly said: "What are you doing by saying this, Feilong was seriously injured by their people, if you don't deal with it as soon as possible, I'm afraid that my life will be in danger." ”

Zhen Mingku turned around and said to Pei Qiantong: "Gang Master Pei, let them go, according to the agreement, I will tell you where those official silver are hidden." ”

……

Xing'er and Huan'er helped Yue'er, who was weak, followed behind Sun Langzhong, and walked out of the gate of Pei's mansion under the guidance of Pei Qiantong's men.

Except for his face being slightly haggard due to fear, he did not suffer any flesh and skin.

Watching a few of Pei Qiantong's subordinates get into the carriage, and a few people got into the carriage hired by Zhen Mingku, and went away quickly, Zhen Mingku breathed a sigh of relief.

Pei Qiantong behind him said: "Now I can tell the whereabouts of 30,000 taels of silver." ”

……

Sun Lang sat on the carriage and watched the carriage rush towards the south of the city, his brows furrowed.

The curtain of the carriage suddenly opened, revealing the smiling driver.

"Which one is Sun Langzhong?"

"I am."

The coachman handed a letter in his hand to Sun Langzhong.

"Zhen Gongzi explained, leave Pei Mansion, let me hand over these two letters to you immediately, here is a hundred taels of silver, and Zhen Gongzi asked me to transfer it to you, saying that everything is written in the letter, you will naturally understand after reading it."

Sun Langzhong hurriedly opened the letter that read "Sun Lao Qinqi", and after a quick glance, his face became more and more solemn.

After reading it, he suddenly tore the contents of the envelope into shreds, spilled it out of the carriage, turned his head to the driver in front of him, and said, "Where is the nearest pharmacy to this?" ”

……

Late at night, two black-clothed sentries flashed out of the back door of Pei's mansion, got on the two black horses at the door, and galloped away in the direction of the north of the city.

In the living room of Pei's Mansion, there are sumptuous wine and dishes on the dining table, a huge dining table, no less than 20 kinds of dishes, but there are only Pei Qiantong and Zhen Mingku sitting at the table.

Pei Qiantong poured a glass of wine for Zhen Mingku, this was already three rounds of wine, Zhen Mingku's face was already a little drunk, and he said more, saying that Liu Wuzhou wanted to swallow the secret recipe alone and kill him, not without anger.

Pei Qiantong sighed again and again when he heard it: "I didn't expect Brother Zhen to have such an experience, Liu Wuzhou treats you like this, no wonder Brother Zhen is cold, if it is me, I will not let them suffer a loss, it is really difficult to eliminate this evil breath, come on, Brother Zhen, drink this glass of wine, after tonight, we will know whether we are friends or enemies immediately, I have asked people to go to the location you said to investigate, I believe that there will be news soon, if Brother Zhen's information is correct, when I recapture the robbed 30,000 taels of silver, the benefits of Brother Zhen will be indispensable." ”

Zhen Mingku hurriedly raised his glass, "Don't dare, if it weren't for the fact that the younger brother saw the reward notice posted by your gang on the street that day, I really didn't know that your gang's Caoyun official silver was robbed, plus those boxes were sealed with the words of the government, then I remembered, I thought that the Pei gang leader must only get this batch of official silver, otherwise even if I have ten lives, I will never dare to make any deal with the Pei gang leader, the little brother respects the Pei gang leader with a cup, which is regarded as making amends to the Pei gang leader, and I hope that the Pei gang leader has a lot of it, and there are many seas." ”

Pei Qiantong laughed and drank, put down the wine glass and said: "Brother Zhen is such a talent, it's a pity to bury it, this gang is the time to employ people, Brother Zhen attaches great importance to love and righteousness, but he is interested in joining my salt gang and conspiring with me for a great cause." ”

"Thanks to the help leader, the little brother is flattered, everything is still after tonight, maybe the Pei gang leader will want to kill me tomorrow."

"Hahaha......" Pei Qiantong laughed, "I, Li, will not be wrong, Li has always had a question that I want to ask Brother Zhen, I wonder if Brother Zhen can solve the question in Li's heart?" ”

"Gang Master Pei asked."

"Where did Brother Zhen get the secret recipe for refining this alloy?"

Zhen Ming burped bitterly, and said drunkly: "I can't hide it, this secret recipe was handed down by the ancestor of the younger brother, if it weren't for the poverty and illness, the little brother would not easily show this secret recipe to others until the last resort." ”

Pei Qiantong nodded: "No wonder Brother Zhen, your accent sounds a little weird, I don't know where your hometown is?" ”

"The barbaric land of South Vietnam, even if you say it, Pei Gang Leader is afraid that I haven't heard of it, I heard the ancestors say that it used to be a seclusion who fled from Yue during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and lived by striking iron for generations, due to isolation from the world, to my generation, people have been extremely rare, in order not to cut off the incense of the clan, the elders of the clan will drive the young and strong young people out of the mountains, and also set a rule, unless they marry back to their wives and give birth to children, they are not allowed to return to their hometowns."
