Before dawn the next day, Jiang Dalang brought his men and brothers to the dock.

Last time, they went to negotiate according to the rules and did not bring any money with them. Liu Huitou did not dare to break the rules of the underworld. After all, Jiang Dalang was from Guifanlou. The two sides competed secretly but also adhered to the principle of keeping out of each other's way.

But this time it was different, because they were carrying a huge amount of money and there was a possibility of robbery, so they had to gather people and both sides must not lose their momentum.

In fact, generally speaking, both sides bring people for the sake of momentum. Under normal circumstances, there will definitely be no fighting, but such momentum is indispensable. Otherwise, if you bring too few people and really encounter a gang that robs you, you will have no place to cry.

This is also another part of the rules of the underworld, so Zhao Jun can bring his men there openly.

The time was chosen as 3:15 pm, which is around 4:00 am, and the location was still the Wuyou Cave branch. Jiang Dalang deliberately wanted to choose the location at the pier.

But Liu Huitou was not stupid. He felt more at ease doing this kind of business in his own territory. After bargaining, the two sides agreed on a ransom of sixty strings of cash, and the transaction had to take place within the Wuyou Cave branch.

Early in the morning, Zhao Jun brought his men to meet Jiang Dalang at the dock. There were more than a hundred of them in total, and they walked out of the Datong Gate with weapons in their arms.

There were already people waiting on the Bian Dike at this moment. When the person who was watching outside the thatched cottage saw them coming, he came up to negotiate for a few words, and then led everyone into the sewer and went to a deeper place.

Zhao Jun was protected in the middle of the crowd. After he got off the embankment, he saw a huge circular drainage pipe, more than two meters high. Groundwater was slowly flowing out of it. There were steps on both sides that led all the way inside.

The person in front led the way with a torch. After walking for about forty or fifty meters, there were other passages like a maze. Every ten meters or so, there were stone brick pillars supporting the passage. The ground was paved with thick bluestone slabs, and the walls were covered with moss.

The slightly turbid and foul smell unique to the sewer hit me in the face. The flowing sewage was green in color, and all kinds of leftover domestic garbage were everywhere in it. I could vaguely see some broken porcelain pieces, clothes, bones and the like.

After walking about a hundred meters, they came to a living area. Countless pairs of eyes were staring at them from the secret doors on both sides. There was a large cave on the right side in front of them, and about a hundred people came out of it.

Torches and candles were lit in the cave, so the environment was not too dark.

The key is that this project is beyond imagination. I originally thought that the underground of Bianliang was narrow and cramped, but I didn’t expect it to be wide and unobstructed, comparable to the super-large underground pipelines used in the construction of large cities in later generations.

The leader of the Wuyou Cave people was about forty years old, with a big body and a fierce face. He squinted his eyes and looked at Jiang Dalang and shouted, "Jiang Dalang, why did you bring so many people here?"

Jiang Dalang said with a smile, "This is to remind Liu Huitou that the rules should be followed. You Wuyou Cave is not easy to mess with, but do you think our Guifanlou is easy to mess with?"

"Don't try to scare me with the Ghost Fan Building."

Liu Huitou cursed.

Jiang Dalang refused to be outdone and cursed back.

While the two sides were fighting, Zhao Jun looked around.

The originally wide cave entrance became narrow because so many people rushed in at once, and the two gangs were shouting and making a lot of noise.

There was a small passage to the right of Zhao Jun, and a human figure could be vaguely seen inside. He was behind the crowd, greeted Di Qing and others, and walked straight in.

After walking about twenty meters inside, there is a secret door. There is no one guarding the secret door. Push the secret door open and walk in, and you will go deeper into the room.

More than 20 meters to their left was the place where Jiang Dalang and Liu Huitou were negotiating. Going deeper would reach the base of the Wuyou Cave branch.

There was only one torch lit in the passage, the ground felt damp, and there were gusts of fishy wind blowing.

"who."

Someone suddenly asked at the end of the passage.

The captain who had followed Jiang Dalang in earlier said, "Come in and see the child."

“No one is taking you.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Di Qing and Shi Yu rushed over from the left and right, covered the mouths of the two men respectively, pressed them to the ground and stabbed them in the lower back.

Before Zhao Jun came in, he ordered that when facing the enemy, do not hold back and kill when necessary.

The two men groaned and fell to the ground. When they came out of the passage, they found themselves in a huge cave. The ceiling was dripping and the ground was covered with filth. On the left was a passage leading to the outside, from which they could faintly hear the noise outside.

They had obviously gone around from this crisscross underground passage to the back of the Wuyou Cave branch's base. On the right side were several large rooms filled with bunk beds, which were where those people slept.

Zhao Jun looked around. The entire cave was probably four or five hundred square meters wide. Torches were hung on the surrounding walls. He could see a large number of tables and chairs inside. There was wine, meat, dice and leaf cards on the tables. There was no one left in the cave. Most people had gone out to build momentum for Liu Huitou.

"Zhisi, over there!"

The captain pointed to the passage deep in the cave.

Zhao Jun took a deep breath, took a step forward and walked inside.

The moment I walked into the underground passage, I was greeted by a fishy smell.

After walking about seven or eight meters further in, the two sides became open and torches were lit on both sides, allowing us to see clearly what was going on inside.

On the right was a row of dungeons, with seven or eight children imprisoned in the cells. Their bodies were torn and their flesh was rotting and smelly, and it seemed to be covered with maggots. They were dressed like a group of beggars.

Seeing someone coming in, the children huddled together and looked at them with eyes of extreme fear.
