Chapter 117: One Death Costs Only One Hundred and Two Silver Pounds
Although Jun Chenyi was in disguise, he did not reveal his identity.
However, the powerful and majestic aura of the royal family had shocked everyone present so much that they dared not say a word.
Li Qinghuan had also recognized him.
It was as if time had frozen and everything was still. He was the only one around, deeply attracting her attention.
"Master Li, I know you are not an ordinary prostitute. From now on, no matter what happens, don't do things that demean yourself."
"If you can't solve it, you can just tell me my name. I will protect you even if it costs me everything."
Jun Chenyi expressed his deepest sincerity in the lightest tone.
When Li Qinghuan heard this, she was stunned for a long time.
She had lived for twenty years, and except for her parents who told her this when she was young, no one had ever told her that they would do everything to protect her.
At that moment, in her eyes, Jun Chenyi was the favored son of heaven who could become the emperor!
It's more like an immortal covered in brilliant light.
Seeing that they were fine, Li Tianzhuo and Deng Youning came over.
After saying a few simple words, Li Tianzhuo took out two small wooden cards.
"We have learned that you must have an identity card before these guards can take you to the inner stage of the Qi Yuntai."
Everyone looked around outside, but there was nothing. Maybe only the inner station had what they really wanted to know!
"No, with two cards, only two people can enter."
Li Tianzhuo handed the wooden sign to the guard. Seeing that there were four of them, the guard turned his face away and refused to let them in.
"Didn't you see? These two ladies are our female relatives."
Jun Chenyi ignored Li Qinghuan who was standing beside him and pretended to be a couple.
Li Qinghuan was a little confused for a moment, but still smiled and cooperated with Jun Chenyi in acting.
"If I say no, then it's no. Rules can't be broken!"
Li Tianzhuo paid money, but the guards just didn't know how to adapt. There was no choice but to let only two people in.
Deng Youning gave Jun Chenyi a killing look, and he obediently gave up his seat.
"You go, be careful!"
He did not forget to give another instruction.
There is no need to say more about Li Qinghuan.
Li Tianzhuo couldn't do anything to Deng Youning. He sighed and warned, "We must stay together at all times after we go in. Don't get separated!"
Deng Youning would have done it even if he didn't say it.
After all, Li Tianzhuo can't use martial arts, so I have to protect him!
Perhaps to prevent someone from sneaking in, the guards took them around several detours before arriving.
Along the way, they were also silently memorizing the route.
Compared to the chaotic outside, it's really decadent and decadent inside.
When they arrived, the guards gave them two masks.
Deng Youning took a look inside and saw that there were indeed people dressed in luxurious clothes, all wearing masks.
Li Tianzhuo put it on himself first, and then considerately tied the mask string behind Deng Youning's head.
As soon as the two men stepped through the door, a woman who looked like a brothel owner came over and asked them what kind of fun they wanted to have today.
"My wife and I don't come here often, so just introduce me to something exciting!"
Li Tianzhuo took advantage of the situation to put his arm around Deng Youning's waist, acting like a loving couple.
"Don't worry, sir. Our place is not just a brothel. It is definitely more interesting than those places like Wuying Tower and Wanhua Tower!"
The madam has already thought of what to arrange for them so that they will be satisfied.
She smiled and led the way, taking them to a room on the second floor with a plaque that read "Modest Gentleman".
As soon as they entered the room, they smelled a strong smell of blood.
The woman's miserable screams came one after another.
The crackling sound of the whip hitting the flesh; the sizzling sound of the hot iron branding the flesh... and the ripping sound of cloth being torn.
You don't have to see it with your own eyes to know what happened inside.
Especially for someone like Li Tianzhuo who often interrogates and extracts confessions in prison, he is very familiar with the sounds of those torture instruments.
His fists were already creaking.
Although he was known as the Living Devil, those tortures were never used on innocent people.
But right now in the room, these things are being used on the already weak women. They are worse than beasts!
The four big characters "Modest Gentleman" on the plaque at the door are even more ironic.
It was a pity that everyone was wearing masks, otherwise he would have to take note of all these people and report them to the court in the morning.
"You two, enjoy it!"
The old woman motioned for the two to go in on their own.
Just as the two were about to raise their legs, a splash of hot blood splashed onto the hems of their clothes.
In order to protect Deng Youning, Li Tianzhuo was splashed with even more water.
"I'm sorry, this maid is too disobedient!"
The murderer did not forget to apologize to them, and as if to avenge them, he stabbed the poor woman a few more times.
"Just kill him like that?"
Deng Youning was furious. It was not enough to just abuse someone, but they even took their lives!
"It doesn't matter. One hundred taels of silver for each death. I can afford it."
The man spoke nonchalantly about the rules here.
These women could be played with by them and treated however they wanted. If they died, it would only be a matter of one hundred taels.
"Is this your first time here?"
"There's a pedophile next door for you to play with!"
The man himself went to the next room.
There is no need to go out, the two rooms are separated by a mechanical bookshelf.
Deng Youning and Li Tianzhuo looked at each other and followed the man.
When passing by the bookshelf, Deng Youning paid special attention to the books on it, including the Four Books and Five Classics, as well as the Art of Governance and Military Strategy.
It is a disgrace to these books to have them here!
As soon as they came in, a bloody man with skin burned off his upper body by a candle appeared in front of them.
Deng Youning prides himself on being bold, but he was still shocked when he saw this scene.
Li Tianzhuo stood in front of her. This place was definitely not the right place for her. Besides the blood, there was also filth, which polluted her eyes.
"Walk!"
We must leave here quickly.
Li Tianzhuo pulled Deng Youning out of the room completely.
Once outside, their emotions calmed down a little amid the singing and dancing.
"Hey, why did you come out so soon?"
"Isn't it fun?"
The old woman who brought them in just now hasn’t gone far!
Deng Youning planned to play along with the enemy. She pretended to be angry and said, "That's it? My husband asked for the most exciting and fun thing, but you guys are trying to fool us with this kind of thing. Are you afraid that my husband and I can't afford it?"
The old woman hurriedly put on a smile and said, "Come with me, both of you."
This time, she brought the two of them to the basement. The room was very dim, filled with beds, filled with the smell of incense, and there was a beautiful woman dressed in Nan Xin's clothes playing the piano.
"The incense is poisonous, it's a hallucinogenic incense!"
Deng Youning reacted quickly and handed Li Tianzhuo a pill.
While the old woman wasn't paying attention, Li Tianzhuo quickly swallowed it.
"Daughter, my daughter, it's all mother's fault. I forced you to death..."
"Dad, you finally came to see me. You worked so hard to support me in my studies, but you passed away after I passed the imperial examination. I want to take care of my parents but they are no longer around."
"Brother, you come to see me. Are you finally willing to forgive me?"
These masked guests, whether lying or sitting, imagined that they were thinking about the deceased person.
Looks happy and sad.
"That incense is a drug. Combined with the specially made piano music, it makes them hallucinate. It's nothing special!"
Deng Youning explained it to Li Tianzhuo.
The old woman also heard their conversation and was very curious, "Oh? Madam, do you also know this skill?"
"I don't dare to show off in front of professionals. Don't you have anything else fun to do here? Stop hiding it!"
Deng Youning wanted to know how many more people they were going to harm!
Although this illusion can temporarily relieve these people's heartache, it is ultimately false and can easily make them more and more addicted to it, unable to extricate themselves, until they are slowly poisoned to death by the incense, and only then can they be freed.
"You two, I don't think you are here to have fun, but to cause trouble!"
