Madam, don't do this!

Chapter 360 One Hundred Pieces, One Hundred Pieces (1)

"The heads of everyone in the Ghost Cave."

hiss.

Upon hearing this, even someone as composed as Fang Shan couldn't help but gasp, his face revealing undisguised shock.

Even Fang Hai and Fang De's eyes showed a hint of seriousness.

That's a ghost cave.

How could a malignant tumor that has been entrenched in Dongling City for nearly a hundred years be so easily eradicated?
This is a force that even the Fang family is unwilling to provoke easily... not because they can't afford to offend them.

The main reason was that there was no conflict between the Fang family and the Ghost Cave. Although the Ghost Cave had committed numerous evils, they never targeted noble families or officials. Even the Dongling Prefect, who had previously attempted to wipe out the Ghost Cave, was never touched. They even deliberately sacrificed some unimportant members to ensure that the Dongling Prefect and his subordinates didn't return empty-handed; capturing a few people was enough to fulfill their mission. They knew very well that with the Ghost Cave's capabilities, it wouldn't be difficult to arrange for assassins to eliminate the Dongling Prefect, but what would happen afterward?

The Prefect of Dongling Prefecture was the Prefect of the Imperial City, representing the Emperor's dignity. If the Prefect of Dongling Prefecture were killed, the forces that would then besiege Ghost Cave would not be mere constables and guards, but the Imperial Guards, the Golden Guards, and the Silver Feather Guards. Although Ghost Cave was known as the Underground Emperor, they were well aware of the difference between this Underground Emperor and the real Emperor.

Even after Fang Shan became the Prefect of Dongling, he didn't think of using the Fang family's power to eradicate the Ghost Cave. With the Fang family's power, destroying the Ghost Cave wouldn't be difficult; the difficulty was annihilating them completely, leaving no survivors. The people of the Ghost Cave were all a group of desperate criminals. If any survivors went to attack Fang family members who were away to seek revenge, it would probably cost the Fang family a lot of money.

The imperial court will not cause trouble for the Ghost Cave, and the Ghost Cave will not target the scholar-official class. It can be said that the Ghost Cave and the imperial court are currently in a delicate balance.

Yet Song Yan claimed that he would take the heads of everyone in Ghost Cave, even though this was a force that the Fang family was somewhat wary of.

"Has he gone mad...?" Fang Shan wanted to say that, but seeing the red light in Song Yan's eyes, his heart skipped a beat. He could tell that Song Yan was not joking, and his expression became serious: "Nephew Song, do you know anything about the Ghost Cave?"

Fang Hai and Fang De frowned as they glanced at Song Yan's bedroom.

It seems that the woman in the bedroom is highly valued by Song Yan.

Song Yan didn't pay attention to all that, and simply lowered her tired eyelids and shook her head: "I don't know."

Fang Shan sighed and explained, "You know, there's a huge underground ditch beneath Dongling City, right?"

Song Yan nodded in agreement.

The term "underground ditch" was used in ancient times to refer to underground drainage systems.

Also called a culvert.

In fact, underground drainage systems appeared much earlier than people imagine.

In an imperial city like the Eastern Tombs, underground drainage ditches were inevitable. It is said that the underground of the Eastern Tombs was intricate and complex, with various ceramic pipes crisscrossing the area. Some of these large pipes were even large enough for people to enter and exit at will. These underground drainage ditches were filthy and teeming with filth, places that normal people would naturally avoid, but were favorites of desperate criminals.

"The Ghost Cave is a force formed by a large number of desperate criminals who have infiltrated the dark trenches and gradually gathered together." Fang Shan's voice continued:

“We are completely clueless about the situation inside the ditch. The intricate pipes might make us lose our way as soon as we enter. On the contrary, the people of Ghost Cave have lived in the ditch for many years and are very familiar with the situation inside. They know exactly where to hide, where to set traps, and where to launch a sneak attack.”

"Under these circumstances, eradicating the Ghost Cave would be as difficult as ascending to heaven."

You know Lu Yuanzheng, right?

Song Yan nodded again: "You were the Prefect of Dongling Prefecture before, and you are now the Minister of Rites."

A hint of admiration flashed in Fang Shan's eyes: "Lu Yuanzheng can be said to be the most upright and incorruptible of all the prefects of Dongling. After becoming the prefect of Dongling, Lu Yuanzheng tried to eradicate the cancerous tumor that is Ghost Cave. In order to completely eliminate Ghost Cave, Lu Yuanzheng gathered all the constables of Dongling, and even constables from the surrounding counties of Dongling were transferred here, a massive force of two or three thousand people."

"Lu Yuanzheng thought he could completely eradicate the Ghost Cave this time, but after the two or three thousand constables entered the dark ditch, they were ambushed all the way and lost more than three hundred men. In the end, he only managed to kill more than thirty men. After that, Lu Yuanzheng never mentioned the Ghost Cave again."

“We don’t even know how many people are hiding in the dark ditches of Dongling City, or how many of them are martial artists…” Fang Shan sighed and patted Song Yan on the shoulder: “Ghost Cave has a huge backer behind it. I don’t even know how many of the constables and police officers in Dongling Prefecture are from Ghost Cave.”

"Perhaps the Ghost Cave received the news before we even gathered our officers to prepare for action."

"So, my dear nephew, give up."

“It’s alright, there’s no need for the Dongling Prefecture’s constables to lift a finger. Uncle Fang, you just need to take your men and help me transport the severed heads out.” Song Yan smiled somewhat sinisterly: “I’ll handle the Ghost Cave matter.”

Fang Shan felt his breath catch in his throat. At that moment, he really wanted to put his palm on Song Yan's forehead to see if Song Yan had a fever. It turned out that Song Yan hadn't heard a single word he had just said.

"Are you planning to call over the troops from Pingyang Prefecture? Give up, it won't work. Without Emperor Ninghe's imperial edict, these troops won't even be able to enter Dongling City."

Song Yan smiled and said, "They're just a bunch of rats living in the gutter. There's no need to use the army. They're not worthy."

"Without constables or soldiers, how will you wipe out the Ghost Cave?" Fang Shan wondered.

"Didn't I bring back ten people?"

"Just ten people?"

"It's not ten. If you add me, Tianyi, and Ziyu, there are thirteen in total," Song Yan corrected Fang Shan's mistake.

Upon hearing this, everyone stared blankly at Song Yan, their expressions so strange they were hard to describe.

"As for information about the Ghost Cave, isn't there already some here?" Song Yan said, glancing at the dwarf.

The bleeding from the broken leg had completely stopped.

The moment Song Yan looked over, the dwarf's body trembled. Initially, the dwarf didn't take Song Yan seriously, but now, when Song Yan was looking at him, the dwarf felt a chilling fear.

Song Yan slowly walked to the dwarf's side, his gaze sweeping over the cut at the knee, and a smile curved his lips: "Tell me everything about the Ghost Cave."

"I'll make sure you die a quick and easy death."

His voice was clear and indifferent.

The dwarf glanced at Song Yan, seemingly provoked by a surge of ferocity. He raised his head, his bloodshot eyes fixed on Song Yan: "Pah, just kill me, I won't tell you anything."

Song Yan was not surprised at all by this answer.

He smiled and said, "Although it's always Granny Liang who does the interrogation, I've learned a bit myself." He opened his palm, revealing several blue, flat objects. His expression even seemed a little regretful, as if using such valuable things on a dwarf was a waste.

The previous question was merely a polite inquiry. Since the other party was unwilling to cooperate, Song Yan was too lazy to waste time. He grabbed the dwarf's chin, forcibly pried open his mouth, and then stuffed the pills into the dwarf's mouth.

One piece, two pieces, three pieces...

"Waaaaah..." The dwarf struggled desperately. He instinctively knew it was no good. He shook his head violently and tried to pry Song Yan's fingers off with his hands. However, Zi Yu's hand pressed down on the dwarf's shoulder. The seemingly light movement completely crushed the dwarf's ability to resist.

Song Yan only stopped after all the pills had been given to her.

This pill is called Viagra.

It also has another name, Viagra.

One hundred pieces.

After stuffing everything into the dwarf's mouth, Song Yan sighed with regret, straightened up, and released the dwarf's chin with her fingers.

He took a step back, crossed his arms in front of his chest, and looked at the dwarf with a smile, as if admiring his own masterpiece.

The dwarf was clearly terrified. He was gagging, trying to vomit up what he had swallowed, but despite his face turning red, he couldn't vomit anything up. Suddenly, the dwarf raised his head and stared at Song Yan with wide eyes: "You, what did you feed me?"

"You can't buy even one piece of this good stuff for a hundred taels of silver." Song Yan smiled. "Ziyu, Tianyi, you two go inside."

Although they didn't understand why Song Yan would say that, the two girls still obeyed and turned to go into the room.

The dwarf was even more frightened.

A layer of cold sweat beaded on his forehead.

To him, the Fang family's tall and luxurious mansion was like hell, making him terrified. He wanted to leave, but with his legs severed, he could do nothing. In just about fifteen minutes, the dwarf felt something was wrong with his body.

The inexplicable palpitations even made the dwarf feel like he was about to faint.

Angina pectoris.

His heart rate increased exponentially, and the veins on his arms bulged, leaving noticeable bluish-gray marks. He began to sweat profusely, and in just a short time, he felt as if he had been drenched in rain, yet his lips remained pale and cracked.

The dwarf began to wail in agony, as if hundreds of cicadas were chirping wildly in his ears. His abdomen churned violently, as if he might vomit up whatever he had eaten at any moment. Then the headache began to spread to his neck, shoulders, back, and even the muscles all over his body.

Even Fang Hai and the others could clearly see that the dwarf's face and the flesh on his arms were spasming and trembling abnormally.

"Ah ah ah ah ah……"

A piercing scream erupted from the dwarf's mouth. His body, now less than a meter long, rolled on the ground like a maggot, his hands gripping and tearing at his hair as if to alleviate the excruciating pain throughout his body.

Immediately afterwards, an abnormal bulge began to appear below.

The enormous bulge made Fang Hai and his brothers from Fangshan feel quite inferior. Goodness, this size is a bit frightening!
As people reach middle age, they often feel a bit powerless and can't help but feel a little envious.

Then, considering that Song Yan had let Ziyu and Luo Tianyi into the house beforehand, clearly not wanting the two women to see such a sordid scene... Could it be that Song Yan already knew this reaction would occur? Could the dwarf's abnormality be caused by the pills Song Yan had just given him?

man.

They are always exceptionally sensitive and quick-witted in certain matters.

A thought simultaneously surfaced in the minds of Fang Hai and his brothers.

Judging from the dwarf's appearance, he was most likely poisoned.

However, if you don't take so many of those strange pills, but only ten or five, will they still have an effect without causing harm to your body?

The brothers exchanged glances, each likely understanding the other's thoughts: They'd find an opportunity to ask Song Yan for a few pieces later. And then: "Pah, shameless!"

Song Yan paid no attention to the subtle expressions on the Fang brothers' faces. At this moment, he was simply looking at his masterpiece in silence, his smile growing increasingly sinister.

Then you see that the dwarf's bulge is becoming more and more exaggerated.

The feeling was extremely unbearable. An unprecedentedly strong urge to vent filled the dwarf's mind, an urge that even overshadowed the pain throughout his body.

But there was nothing here that could allow him to vent. His body involuntarily began to rub against the ground, as if this could release the urges and heat that filled his body.

My pants are ripped.

The skin is broken.

The legs were covered in scarlet, rotting flesh.

Each rubbing tore off a layer of flesh, bringing a brief moment of clarity, followed by a piercing scream:

"Ahhh...ahhhhh...kill me, kill me, you madman, you pervert, kill me..."

At this moment, the dwarf felt an unprecedented regret. If he had known he would fall into Song Yan's hands, he shouldn't have accepted the mission for the high reward.

At that moment, he had lost all will to live; all he wanted was to die.

Seeing the bloody scene and hearing the dwarf's shrill voice, even Fang Hai and the others turned pale, and felt an unbearable pain in some part of their bodies.

What a cruel punishment this is!

However, it must be said that this kind of punishment is particularly effective against male suspects.

Slowly, Song Yan walked up to the dwarf, a smile playing on his lips, and a ghostly voice entered the dwarf's ears: "Tell me, why are you chasing Bu Yu?"

"Ahhhhh... I don't know, I don't know..." the dwarf screamed.

Song Yan's expression suddenly darkened, and the smile on his face quickly disappeared.

"I really don't know, the missions were all taken on by the cave master and the two protectors... It hurts... It hurts so much... Only they know who the employer is!"

As expected, someone wanted to harm Bu Yu.

Are they the cave master and the protectors?
