"Get some benefits?" The ghost-faced man raised his lips with a sinister smile.
The young man kept nodding his head, his attitude was as humble as possible, his eyes were full of sincerity, and he looked honest and kind, which made people convinced. It was a pity that he met a ruthless person.
The man with the ghost face said nothing, just waved his hand, and the people below immediately moved.
Two subordinates stepped forward and held down his body, one of them holding down his arm.
The man realized something was wrong, and looked horrified, "What...what are you going to do?"
No one paid any attention to him. One of his subordinates picked up a sword and chopped it down. A bright red hand fell to the ground, blood gushed out, accompanied by the boy's shrill screams.
“Ahhh…”
The extreme pain made the boy's eyes roll up; before he was about to faint, another subordinate pressed his hand on the broken part.
“Ahhh…”
The boy woke up from his fainting state in pain.
The boy looked at the group of people in front of him in horror, with a terrified expression, and began to beg for mercy with snot and tears, "Please spare my life, sir, please spare my life."
The ghost-faced man sitting at the head of the table ignored his pleas for mercy and said in a cold voice, "I'll ask you again, why did you help them?"
This time, the boy no longer had any hope of luck. His pale face due to blood loss was filled with fear. "I, I beg you to spare my life, sir."
The person at the top did not respond, but stared at him coldly.
The subordinate immediately stepped forward and pressed his hand on the broken part of his body. The piercing pain came over him again, causing cold sweat to drip down his forehead.
He realized that he was not in a position to negotiate terms.
But he also understood that once he said it, he would face death.
Said it was death.
If you don't speak, you will die.
Then why should he say that?
The boy made up his mind, closed his eyes and stopped talking.
When the man wearing the ghost mask saw his appearance, he understood what the other party meant, and a bloodthirsty and sinister smile appeared at the corner of his lips.
He raised his head and looked at his subordinates.
The subordinates understood immediately.
Someone left the house, and a moment later, someone came in with a brazier and a Luo Tie, as well as a pot of boiling hot water.
The boy watched those things being carried into the house one by one, his heart trembling and his body shaking uncontrollably.
One of the subordinates walked up to the man and asked, "Which one do you want to try first? This one or this one?"
Seeing his body shaking like a sieve, the man still didn't stop threatening, "Don't get excited, we will let you try every one of them. These are just some of them, there are many more to come, I guarantee you will like them."
The boy shook his head frantically.
Another person followed up and said, "Sometimes it's easy to die, but it's not easy to want to die."
The boy understood what the other party meant. They wanted to make him live a life worse than death.
These people are all devils!
He was scared and hated himself for not running far enough. He hated himself even more for getting involved in this matter.
But no matter how much he regretted, he could not change the facts.
The first of them came over with a steaming kettle, with the spout pointed directly at his wound. Once the scalding hot water was poured on him, the feeling and pain would be something that not everyone could endure.
Seeing that the other party was about to take action, the young man could no longer bear the pressure and said, "I'll tell you, I'll tell you. Please give me a quick death."
The man's slightly tilted hand paused, the ghost-faced man waved his hand, and his subordinate left with the teapot.
The man no longer had any hope of luck and began to confess honestly, "Eight days ago, someone found me and gave me a thick stack of boat tickets, asking me to sell them to someone who lived in a foot shop in South City."
"They promised me that they would give me 20 taels of silver as a reward after the task was completed, so I looked for an opportunity to meet that group of people. It just so happened that they were preparing to go south and were looking for a passenger ship. I took advantage of the situation and arranged for them to board the passenger ship that was leaving the next day."
"My people also asked for five taels of silver as a reward."
"After the matter was settled, the person who asked me to do the work asked me to leave Linzhou Prefecture for a while. I followed the other party's arrangement and returned to the countryside."
After the man finished speaking, he added, "Everything I said is true. I have not concealed anything."
"Who is the person who asked you to do this?"
The boy shook his head. "I don't know. He was wearing a cap, so I didn't see his face at all."
"Think about it carefully."
"I really don't know." The boy said with a bitter face.
But this group of people didn't care about that. They would not let him go until they got what they wanted.
When the boy saw them coming towards him again with the kettle in hand, he was so scared that he quickly said, "Wait... let me think about it..."
He kept thinking back to what happened that day.
At this moment he was very clear that if he didn't tell the truth, the other party would never let him go.
Who is that person?
That person...
The boy gritted his teeth and tried hard to recall what happened that day. It really reminded him of something. "I remember now. That person's shoes are exclusive to Baishan Hall. That person is from Baishan Hall."
"Very good!" The ghost-faced man nodded with satisfaction and continued to ask, "Anything else?"
The boy tried hard to recall again, but this time, no matter how hard he tried, he could not come up with any other useful information. He shook his head timidly.
The man with the ghost face waved his hand, and his subordinates immediately dragged the man away and detained him temporarily.
The deputy said, "Sir, this Baishan Hall is not a good thing. On the surface, it specializes in forcing women of good families into prostitution, but in fact, it is involved with officials of all ranks in the Jiangnan area. I'm afraid that this Baishan Hall is the power of some big shot."
The ghost-faced man chuckled, "That's right."
Only people with such power would do such a thing, otherwise there is no reason for them to do so and cover up for that group of people.
I'm afraid that the forces behind Baishan Hall are also fighting for the treasure map.
If this is true, and they are covering up for that group of people, then there is only one possibility, that is, that group of people have touched the secret of the treasure map.
It's really hard to find it...
I was just checking it out, but I didn't expect it to be such a blessing!
Of course, all of the above is just my guess and remains to be verified.
No matter what, this line must be traced.
"Check Baishantang."
One day later, the people below found out all the information about Baishan Hall.
"The actual person behind Baishantang is the Qin King's staff."
"King Qin." The ghost-faced man murmured, "It is indeed so."
The group of people they killed before were also Qin Wang's men, and Baishantang was Qin Wang's power.
The ghost-faced man narrowed his eyes slightly, and a line formed in his mind.
Humph, it seems they were deceived.
