Mystery Makes Me Strong

In the dark underground cave, everyone held torches.

There was a whistling sound of wind in their ears.

This made everyone feel extremely relieved.

In such a place, the most feared thing is no wind.

In that case, it won't take long for people to suffocate.

This cave is indeed connected in all directions, and many people must have dug out ventilation holes.

According to Wen Rensheng's observation, the cave is about 30 meters away from the ground.

This distance is neither high nor low.

In fact, if it is used well, it can serve as a free subway passage in Beijing.

Wen Rensheng noticed that several cave passages were straight, and they had obviously been deliberately repaired.

Everyone continued to walk for a while looking for the bones.

Then they finally made a new discovery.

This time they saw an execution site.

A row of people were tied with their hands, facing the wall, and their heads were chopped off.

Those people were obviously ordinary people, with messy clothes, from all walks of life, waiters, chefs, fortune tellers, scholars...

Such messy identities are unlikely to be criminals who deserve their punishment.

"Ah!" The detectives screamed in fear.

Although they have seen many murders, this kind of massacre, coupled with the surrounding atmosphere, still makes them terrified.

Wen Rensheng frowned slightly when he saw this.

Whenever he saw humans killing each other, although he was indifferent, he also felt unhappy.

After all, many people did this not for any benefit, but simply like a beast.

"Damn, this underground is really a devil's cave!" Liu Tuiguan said angrily.

"Master, let's go back. There are too few people here. What if we fall into an ambush?" A head of the police said.

"That's right, go back immediately." After Liu Tuiguan finished scolding, his body was very honest.

After all, this is not acting, not filming a TV series, and the main characters will not die before the end of the filming.

Liu Tuiguan looked at the dark branch caves around him and realized that if someone ambushed here, his group would be dead.

Looking at their arrogance, he rarely panicked.

The group hurried back.

The squeaking sound of mice came from all around, shuttling in this underground cave.

All kinds of unpleasant smells and humid air made the place full of fear.

Who can live in such a place?

Only those homeless vagrants.

At least such a place can shelter from wind and rain.

Of course, living in such a damp and dirty place for a long time will not last more than ten years.

Unless you go up to bask in the sun every day.

Liu Tuiguan and others were relatively smooth and were not ambushed. After walking for half an hour, they finally returned to the ground.

After seeing the sun, everyone felt like they had survived a disaster.

"That place is too scary. I don't want to go down a second time." A constable couldn't help saying.

Although this was very taboo for his superiors, he had to say it.

Anyway, whoever wants to go can go.

You may die at any time.

It can be said that even if thousands of people go down, they may be ambushed and killed.

In such a narrow passage, more people are useless.

On the contrary, it is easier to be killed by the enemy.

A fire and a bucket of lard can kill all these people.

Ventilation will only make the fire bigger and the smoke more abundant, burning into a chimney.

That place is too advantageous for those who have the home advantage.

"If you want to deal with that kind of place, you can only bring in water from the canal."

"It's useless. Someone did this before, and later found that the cave is connected to an underground river." Someone shook his head again.

It's true.

Otherwise, after years of rain, the cave would have become a ditch.

Liu Tuiguan was also helpless for a while.

It's too dangerous to go down and explore.

With just these few people, nothing can be found.

Unless hundreds of thousands of people are used to dig at the same time to completely expose the cave.

Then start searching in sections.

This is obviously impossible.

The silver spent alone is countless.

Not to mention, many courtyards of high-ranking families are right above the cave.

If we dig, we don’t know how much resistance we will encounter.

Thinking of this, Liu Tuiguan suddenly remembered that when several wealthy families were confiscated and beheaded, only one or two side branches were killed, and the main branch actually escaped.

Now it seems that there must be a direct access to the secret passage of the cave.

In this way, those high-ranking families will not allow anyone to destroy it.

Although it has hidden dangers, the benefits are greater.

Now think about it, the few high-ranking officials who have been victimized will probably disappear after half a year.

No wonder when the capital was established, many officials and nobles did not choose to refuse when they heard that there was a cave here.

It seems that they also understand that the real danger is not whether the house will collapse, but the emperor and the court.

With this cave, they can escape in time when it is most dangerous.

The emperor thought so too.

Afterwards, Wen Rensheng returned to his temporary home. He drank tea leisurely and stayed awake.

However, he suddenly had an idea.

Ancient people often drank and wrote hundreds of poems. What was that like?

Wen Rensheng has always been based on maintaining a clear mind.

Because he knows very well that when facing many strange things, reason and clarity are the only reliance of intelligent life forms.

And today, the underground cave he faced was nothing to him.

However, he has noticed that Liu Tuiguan and his colleagues have fallen into the paralysis brought by alcohol.

"It's terrible. I want to drink. I won't be afraid when I'm drunk." A constable said.

This constable was drinking sorghum wine, which is a strong liquor.

It's probably more than 52 degrees.

In a normal feudal society, this kind of liquor is difficult to brew, because grain is precious. It's good to have wine. Distilling more is actually a waste.

So people automatically strike a balance between paralyzing themselves and grain production.

It's not that ancient people didn't want to make strong liquor, but it was a forced balance.

If there is enough grain and enough for people to waste at will, there will naturally be a large enough market for people to like strong liquor.

And this world just meets this point.

This constable is drinking alcohol, anesthetizing his brainstem and cerebellum, making his brain fall into a coma, and desensitizing himself to fear.

It has to be said that why has alcohol become a social habit that spans the East and the West and cannot be quit?

It must have a significant role.

This major role is in the spirit.

As for the social attribute, it is another.

Eliminating fear is one of its functions.

Before going to the battlefield in ancient times, the dead soldiers drank three bowls of wine. Of course, it was not a high alcohol content of 52 degrees, otherwise, the road would be unstable.

At most, it was 8% beer.

Three bowls are just enough to numb the fear and make people go forward to fight passionately for three minutes.

And Wen Rensheng saw that the constable was drinking like this.

At the same time.

He saw the difference.

Another constable was also a little drunk, but he was practicing martial arts desperately there.

"I want to work hard, I want to struggle, I don't want to be looked down upon."

"I have to seize every minute and every second, so that I will not regret it anymore!"

The constable was in his 30s, and according to the age of the ancients, he had actually reached more than half of his life.

Many ancient people thought that they were about to end in their 30s, so they made many wrong decisions.

The constable was practicing martial arts desperately, and he must not have been so diligent before.

Under the stimulation of alcohol and fear, this person forgot about fatigue, laziness, and all kinds of reasons for laziness, and worked hard.

This made Wen Rensheng feel a sense of enlightenment: "This is real life."

"Real life will be stimulated by real substances and produce real reactions."

"Alcohol and human civilization are always present. It is a bad thing that causes many diseases, but it can never be completely eliminated by humans."

"Because it always has some great uses, and the harm is relatively limited. It will not occur immediately, but will appear in the long future, ten or twenty years later, and even appear in future generations, not in oneself."

"This product can stimulate people's original heart, can make people take off all kinds of lazy and numb coats, and make people face their original heart, so it is banned repeatedly."

"Even the so-called most developed forces cannot prohibit its existence."

And the constable, when practicing the knife skills, practiced until he really couldn't hold on, he fell down and fell asleep.

Maybe when he wakes up, he will still numb himself and continue to go get drunk with his colleagues after get off work and listen to music in brothels...

However, at this moment, he is working hard and seriously. He is recalling his struggling youth, recalling the time when he was completely ignorant, only knowing how to make progress and work hard.

At that time, he didn't know the complexity of society, and only knew that one effort would bring one reward.

Work hard today, and the master will praise you tomorrow.

One month of hard work will make faster progress than other brothers.

One year of hard work will make you much better than your brothers in the competition after one year.

Five years later, the gap between brothers is very large.

Then he successfully entered the government office, and everyone envied him.

Then inexplicably, with the first effort, no one cared.

The first time he worked hard, worked hard, worked hard to make progress, and worked hard to get results, he was regarded as a scapegoat and gradually became discouraged.

In addition, human nature is lazy, so he began to go with the flow.

In Wen Rensheng's eyes, the past of the drunk and hard-working constable appeared.

Overall, he is still responsible.

Although there were so-called suppression from above, there were also many who appreciated him.

But because of his own hesitation, laziness, and unwillingness to work hard, the suppression was satisfactory, and the appreciation shook his head.

So he also became an ordinary constable.

Much better than ordinary farmers, he didn't need to sell hard labor.

However, he didn't reach the height he should have.

Wen Rensheng found it very interesting.

A somewhat frightening experience reflects life.

And that Liu Tuiguan was also drinking with others.

It was a relative and friend who hadn't seen for a long time.

"Brother, I'm sorry, you asked me to recommend you to be a county lieutenant before, but I took too many considerations and didn't agree."

"Think about it now, what does it matter?"

"As long as I don't do evil, I also know that you won't do evil, and you just want to live a stable life."

"I know your character, and you know my character."

"But it's too late now. If I recommend you again, it will be a disaster for you. In short, you can look at me, I am very happy, and I am also ashamed."

The relative comforted: "Brother, you drank too much, and you didn't recommend me, and I didn't complain."

"After all, you know I'm not the kind of person who welcomes and sees off guests. If I really go up, I'll get into big trouble."

"Many people say that you've lost your humanity after becoming an official, but I know that you're trembling with fear, afraid of bringing trouble to your fellow villagers."

Liu Tui Guan felt even more ashamed: "How long can we be happy in this world? Like the morning dew, there are not many days left."

"After 30, there are not many days left. Looking back, there are few who are content, and many who are idle."

"Just for a moment, regret for a lifetime."

The relative also said: "Brother, you talk too much. It's good enough to be alive. Why think too much?"

"That's right, let's continue drinking."

As he drank a few more glasses, the relative's ulterior motives became clear.

"Brother, what on earth did you take people down there for?"

"Haha, brother, what can't be said?"

"Between the two of us, I believe you."

"Actually, I went down there to pursue the murderers and the dead."

"Actually, it was to check out the terrible underground cave secret passage. What kind of danger is there?"

"Actually, it was also for..." Liu Tuiguan said this, and suddenly his head tilted.

He couldn't resist it and fell asleep.

"Damn, I drank too much!" The relative frowned and was suddenly depressed.

He finally found an opportunity to drink this distant brother.

Under normal circumstances, Liu Tuiguan would retreat from the so-called drinking party.

Only in this kind of fear would he go with the flow and drink two glasses.

Many people are worried that Liu Tuiguan will delay things if he drinks too much.

So they dare not let him drink more.

In fact, he knows his capacity and his character.

It is true that he will talk more when he drinks too much, but he will never tell his most confidential things.

Those things will be locked up by him.

He is different from others.

Some people, when drunk, are indiscriminate and dare to speak out about their own affairs and murders.

But the more he drinks, the more cautious he becomes.

He can even use the superficial illusion of being drunk to deliberately leak some false information to people.

He has done this more than once or twice.

Wen Rensheng learned this by looking into the past.

He can only say: Speaking of dogs, this guy is still a dog.

At this moment, this relative was deceived by Liu Tuiguan.

The relative then wrote a letter and asked an eagle to take it out.

The letter contained Liu Tuiguan's drunken words.

Because drunkenness is undeniable and difficult to forge, the relative believed it without a doubt.

How could he know that there is such a person as Liu Tuiguan?

The more drunk he is, the more confused his mind seems, but the secrets in the key places are kept more tightly.

Some people will say this is impossible.

In fact, it is completely possible.

Because drunkenness has a process.

Some people will pretend the degree of drunkenness when they realize they are drunk.

There are many such people.

So speaking the truth after drinking can also be exploited.

Of course, drinking, in most cases, can make people talk less and become more talkative, thereby improving social skills.

So alcohol has become a widespread lubricant in social situations.

This is the root cause of repeated prohibitions.

Wen Rensheng naturally knows that not drinking a drop of alcohol is really good for the body.

Unfortunately, the weakness of human nature makes it difficult for a large sample of people to refuse the presence of alcohol in public social occasions.

And now, Liu Tuiguan has used alcohol to achieve his goal.

…………

Not long.

In the mansion of the eldest prince.

"To pursue secrets?"

"It seems that you want to find the base of the mansion underground? Haha, it's ridiculous. Who doesn't have a camp of dead soldiers underground?" An old butler sneered.

A dead soldier stood next to him, as if he hadn't heard anything.

However, the old butler didn't know that the dead soldier's eyes revealed hatred.

This is the essence of this world: as long as there is a possibility of a case, it will inevitably happen.

Unfortunately, many people don't grasp this law enough.

Or not enough reverence.
