Chapter 2605 If it can happen, it will definitely happen
In the dark underground cave, everyone held torches.
There was a whistling sound in my ears.
This made everyone feel extremely relieved.
The biggest fear when going to a place like this is the lack of wind.
In that case, it won't take long for the person to suffocate.
This cave is indeed connected in all directions, and many people must have dug out vents.
According to Wen Rensheng’s observations, the cave is about thirty meters away from the ground.
This distance is neither high nor low.
In fact, if used properly, it can serve as a free subway passage in Beijing.
Wen Rensheng noticed that several cave passages were straight and had obviously been deliberately repaired.
The crowd looked for the bones again and continued walking for a while.
Then they finally made a new discovery.
This time I saw an execution scene.
A row of people had their hands tied, facing the wall, and their heads had been chopped off.
Those people were obviously ordinary people, their clothes were very messy, and they came from all walks of life, waiters, chefs, fortune tellers, scholars...
With such a messy identity, it was unlikely that they were prisoners who deserved their crimes.
“Ah!” The detectives shouted in fright.
Although they had seen many murderous scenes, this kind of massacre and the surrounding atmosphere still made them frightened.
Wen Rensheng frowned slightly when he saw this.
Whenever he saw humans killing each other, although he was indifferent, he also felt displeased.
After all, many people do this not for any benefit at all, but simply for the wild beast-like attacks.
“Damn it, this underground is really a devil’s cave!” Liu Tuiguan said angrily.
"Master, let's go back. There are too few people here, and we might get caught in an ambush." One of the catchers said.
"What I said is, go back immediately." After Liu Tuiguan finished scolding, his body was very honest.
After all, this is not acting or filming a TV series, and the main characters will not die before filming is completed.
Looking at the dark branch caves around him, Liu Tuiguan understood that if someone ambushed here, his group would be dead.
Looking at their arrogance again, this made him feel a little panic.
The group of people walked back quickly.
The sound of "squeaking" mice was heard all around, shuttling back and forth in this underground cave.
Various unpleasant smells and humid air filled the place with an atmosphere of fear.
Who can live in a place like this?
There are only homeless homeless people.
At least this kind of place can protect you from the wind and rain.
Of course, living in such a humid, dirty and smelly place for a long time would not last more than ten years.
Unless you go up to bask in the sun every day.
Liu Tuiguan and others went smoothly and were not ambushed. After walking for less than half an hour, they finally returned to the ground.
After seeing the sun, everyone felt like they were surviving a disaster.
"That place is too scary. I don't want to go there a second time." A policeman couldn't help but said.
Although it was taboo for Shangguan to say this, he still wanted to say it.
Anyway, whoever wants to go can go.
You can die at any time.
It can be said that even if thousands of people go down, they may be ambushed and die.
In that kind of narrow passage, there are no more people than there are people.
On the contrary, it is easier to be killed by evil spirits.
A fire and a bucket of lard can take care of all these people.
Ventilation will only make the fire bigger, the smoke more intense, and it will burn into a chimney.
That place is too advantageous for those with home field advantage.
“The only way to deal with that kind of place is to introduce water from the canal for irrigation.”
“It’s useless. Someone had done this before, and later it was discovered that the cave was connected to the underground cave. River." Another person shook his head.
Sure enough.
Otherwise, the cave would have turned into a ditch long ago after years of rain.
Liu Tuiguan also had no choice for the moment.
It’s too dangerous to go down and explore.
Just these few people couldn't find anything.
Unless hundreds of thousands of people are used to excavate at the same time, the cave will be completely exposed.
Then start searching by partition.
This is obviously impossible.
The money spent alone is countless.
Not to mention, the yards of many wealthy families are right above the caves.
If we dig, we don’t know how much resistance we will face.
Thinking of this, Liu Tuiguan suddenly remembered that when several large families were ransacked and executed, only one or two side branches were killed, and the main branch actually escaped.
Now it seems that there must be a direct path to the secret passage of the cave.
As a result, those high-ranking sects will not allow anyone to destroy it.
Although it has hidden dangers, the benefits are greater.
Now that I think about it, those few high-ranking officials who were victimized will probably disappear after just half a year.
No wonder when the capital was established, when they heard that there were caves here, many officials and aristocratic families did not choose to refuse.
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 they are in the most danger.
The emperor thought so too.
Afterwards, Wen Rensheng returned to his temporary home. He drank tea leisurely and stayed awake.
However, then he had a sudden idea.
The ancients often wrote hundreds of poems over wine. What was it like?
Wen Rensheng has always maintained a clear mind as his foundation.
Because he knows very well that in the face of many strange things, reason and sobriety are the only things that intelligent lifeforms can rely on.
But the underground cave he faced today was nothing to him.
However, he has noticed that Liu Tuiguan and his colleagues have fallen into the paralysis caused by alcohol.
"It's so scary. I want to drink. I won't be afraid when I'm drunk." One of the detectives said.
The catcher was there drinking sorghum wine, which is a high-alcohol wine.
Probably over 52 degrees.
In a normal feudal society, this kind of wine would be difficult to brew, because food is precious, and it would be good to have wine. Any more distillation would be a waste.
So people automatically strike a balance between numbing themselves and food production.
It’s not that ancient people didn’t want to engage in high-alcohol wine, it was actually a forced balance.
If there is enough food for people to waste at will, then there will naturally be a big enough market for people to like high-quality wine.
And this world just satisfies this.
The agent was drinking alcohol heavily, anesthetizing his brainstem and cerebellum, causing his brain to fall into a coma and desensitizing himself to fear.
I have to say, why has alcohol become a social habit that transcends East and West and cannot be given up?
It must have a significant effect.
This important role is in the spirit.
As for the social attributes, it is another matter.
Eliminating fear is one of it.
Before going to the battlefield, ancient warriors drank three large bowls of wine. Of course it was not 52-degree alcohol, otherwise the walk would be unstable.
At most 8% beer type.
Three bowls just happened to paralyze fear, and people came forward to fight with blood for three minutes.
And Wen Rensheng saw the policeman drinking like this.
And at the same time.
He saw the difference again.
Another policeman, also a little drunk, was practicing martial arts desperately there.
“I have to work hard, I have to fight, and I don’t want to be looked down upon by others.”
“I have to seize every minute, so that I will no longer regret it!”
< br>
The policeman was in his 30s. According to the age of ancient people, he was actually more than halfway through his life.
Many ancient people thought that their 30s were the end of their lives, so they made many wrong decisions.
The policeman is practicing martial arts hard. He must not have been so diligent before. Under the stimulation of alcohol and fear, this person forgot about fatigue, laziness, and various reasons for being lazy, and instead worked hard.
This made Wen Rensheng feel vaguely aware: "This is real life."
"Real life will be stimulated by real substances and produce real reactions."
"Alcohol has always been with human civilization. It is a bad thing that causes many diseases, but it can never be It will be completely eliminated by others.”
“Because it has some considerable uses and the harm is relatively limited. It will not happen immediately, but will appear in the long-term future, ten or twenty years later. It even appears in future generations, not in oneself. ”
“This kind of product can stimulate people’s true nature, let people take off all kinds of laziness and paralysis, and let people face their true nature. , so it continues to be banned.”
“Even the so-called most developed forces cannot ban its existence.”
As for the detective, he was practicing his sword skills. When he couldn't hold on any longer, he fell down and fell asleep.
Maybe when he wakes up, he will still numb himself and continue to get drunk with his colleagues after get off work and listen to music...
However, at this moment, he is working hard and serious, He recalled his struggling youth, the time when he was completely ignorant and only knew how to make progress and work hard.
At that time, he didn’t know the complexity of society. He only knew that hard work would bring reward.
Work hard today and the master will praise you tomorrow.
If you work hard for a month, you will make faster progress than other brothers.
After one year of hard work, you will be much better than your brothers in the competition.
Five years later, the gap between the brothers has become very big.
Then he successfully entered the Yamen and was envied by everyone.
Then inexplicably, with the first effort, no one cared.
For the first time, I worked hard, worked hard, made progress, and achieved results, but instead I was treated as a scapegoat and gradually became disheartened.
Coupled with the fact that human nature is lazy, we start to follow the crowd.
In Wen Rensheng’s eyes, the past where he was drunk and worked hard to catch the police appeared.
Generally speaking, the responsibility is still his own.
Although there are those who say they suppress him, there are also many who appreciate him.
But because of his own hesitation, laziness, and unwillingness to exert all his strength, the suppressor got his way and shook his head appreciatively.
So he also became an ordinary catcher.
Much better than ordinary farmers, no need to work hard.
However, he did not reach the height he should have.
Wen Rensheng found it very interesting.
A somewhat frightening experience that reflects life.
And Liu Tuiguan was also drinking with others.
It’s a relative and friend whom I haven’t seen for a long time.
"Brother, I'm sorry, you asked me to recommend you to be a county captain before, but I thought too much and didn't agree."
"Now that I think about it, what does that mean?"
"As long as I don't do evil, I also know that you won't do evil. You just want to live a stable life."
"I know your character, and you also know my character."
"But it's too late now. If I recommend you again, it will be your disaster. Anyway, I am very happy that you can look at me, 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 that I am not the person who was sent to you, but if you did go up, it would cause big trouble.”
"Many people say that you have lost your taste after becoming an official, but I know that you are trembling with fear, fearing that you will harm your fellow villagers."
Liu Tuiguan was even more ashamed: "When is life in this world, how long does it take to get married? For example, Chaolu , there are not many days left.”
“When you are over thirty, there is not much time left. Looking back at all kinds of things, there are few things that are comfortable and many things that are leisurely.” "
The relative also said: "Brother, you talk too much, it's good to be alive, why do you have to think too much?"
"That's right, let's continue drinking."
After drinking a few more drinks, the relative tried to show his face.
"Brother, what on earth did you do when you took the people down?"
"Haha, brother, is there anything we can't say?"
"Between the two of us Time, I believe you.”
"Actually, I went down, nominally to track down the murderers and the dead."
"Actually, I wanted to check out the terrible underground cave secret passage. What dangers are there?"
"Actually, it's also for..." When Liu Tuiguan said this, he suddenly tilted his head.
I couldn't resist it anymore, so I fell asleep.
“Damn, you drank too much!” The relative frowned and suddenly felt depressed.
He finally found an opportunity to drink this distant brother down.
Under normal circumstances, Liu Tuiguan would avoid the so-called drinking bureau.
Only under such fear will one go along with the flow and drink two drinks.
Many people are worried that Liu Tuiguan drinks too much and it will delay things.
So I didn’t dare to let him drink more.
In fact, he knows his own strength and his own nature.
It is true that if you drink too much, you will talk more, but you will never tell your most confidential things.
Those things will be locked by him.
He is different from others.
Some people are drunk and indiscriminate, even daring to say that they cheated on others and killed others.
But the more he drank, the more cautious he became.
You can even use the appearance of being drunk to deliberately leak some false news to others.
He has done this kind of thing not once or twice.
Wen Rensheng learned this by looking into the past.
He can only say: As for 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 contains Liu Tuiguan's drunken remarks.
Because drunkenness cannot be denied and difficult to forge, the relative believed it.
How did he know that there was someone like Liu Tuiguan?
The more drunk you get, the more confused your mind seems to be, but the secrets in key places are kept more closely.
Some would say this is impossible.
Actually, this is entirely possible.
Because there is a process of getting drunk.
When someone realizes they are drunk, they will pretend to be drunk.
There are many such people.
So if you tell the truth while drunk, you will be taken advantage of.
Of course, drinking alcohol, in most cases, can make people talk less and become more talkative, thus improving social skills.
That’s why alcohol has become a widely used lubricant in social life.
This is the root cause of repeated bans.
Wen Rensheng naturally knows that abstaining from alcohol is truly 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 social situations on the table.
Now, Liu Tuiguan has used alcohol to achieve his own goals.
…………
Not long.
In the eldest prince's mansion.
"To pursue secrets?"
"It seems that you want to find the underground base of the mansion? Hahaha, it's really ridiculous. Who doesn't have a dead soldier's camp underground?" The old housekeeper sneered.
A dead soldier stood next to him, as if he hadn't heard anything.
However, the old housekeeper didn't know that there was hatred in the eyes of this dead soldier.
This is the nature of the world: as long as a case can happen, it will happen.
Unfortunately, many people do not grasp this rule well enough.
Or not awe enough.
