"It seems that you are not going to tell the truth." Yun Meng took out a bag of salt and sprinkled it on the dwarf's wound.

He took another torch and put it close to the wound, then asked with a smile: "When I light this fire on you, do you think your flesh will smell good or bad?"

The dwarf looked at the torch close to the wound in horror. He wanted to hide, but he had no legs, so there was no way to hide.

The dwarf thought he was perverted enough, but now he realizes that there are many people in the world who are more perverted than him.

The dwarf, who was not a good guy to begin with, had no moral bottom line. When he saw that he could not get away with it and would be tortured, he immediately gave up resisting.

"Wait, I'll tell you everything I know."

Yun Meng looked at the dwarf who looked like he had just been fished out of the water and chuckled, "It would have been great if you had cooperated earlier. You would have suffered less."

After saying that, he glanced at the bearded man and the gentle man, and threatened: "You two should think clearly about what you are hiding.

If you don't say it, haha!" Yunmeng shook the salt and torch in his hand, "It will be your turn next."

The bearded man and the gentle man shuddered again. How did this involve them again?

Although he was not convinced in his heart, he dared not say anything. He could only nod his head repeatedly to show that he was willing to cooperate. As for what else he didn't say.

There is no need to think about this. The location of the treasure of gold, silver and jewelry hidden in their bandit den has not yet been revealed.

I thought it might be useful in the future, but now I don’t want to hide it anymore. My life is almost gone, so how can there be a future?

After the dwarf decided to confess, he relaxed and asked Yunmeng to apply medicine to him.

Well, Yunmeng would agree under normal circumstances, but now it is not a normal situation. Yunmeng is not in the mood to help apply the medicine, so she just goes straight to the torch.

The dwarf looked at the torch approaching and was so scared that he begged for mercy. He could still endure it if he just applied medicine.

"Princess, please spare me. Please spare me. I will confess immediately. Right now."

Seeing the torch moved away, the dwarf breathed a sigh of relief and continued speaking.

The dwarf’s name was Yang Tianshou before, but he didn’t like that name, nor did he like the surname Yang, so after becoming his master’s apprentice, he took his master’s surname.

Named Guan Qiang, the dwarf hopes that his life will be better and stronger than anyone else's, and he also hopes that his strength will be the strongest in the world.

Unfortunately, there is no such thing as the strongest in this world.

The dwarf killed his master and took over everything from him. Then he became addicted to gambling. Not only did he lose all the money his master left him, he also owed a large sum of money.

It stands to reason that with the dwarf's abilities, he should have no problem escaping, after all, it was a casino in a small town.

However, the fact is that the dwarf not only failed to escape, but was also beaten badly and almost killed.

Later, a kind-hearted passerby paid money to help the dwarf settle the casino issue.

This made the dwarf very grateful to the other party, and he recognized the other party as his master and followed the other party's work.

That person was the mysterious man with a big beard. Although he was called a mysterious man, he was not that mysterious after all.

The mysterious man was named Lu Yi, and his name means rational, benevolent, righteous and trustworthy. He was a juren and donated a seventh-rank county magistrate.

You see, once the identity is stripped away, there is no sense of mystery at all.

There was a reason why Lu Yi went after Big Beard's gang. Firstly, Big Beard and his gang were hiding in the mountains, making it difficult to find them.

Secondly, these guys are familiar with the mountain roads, so as long as they steal the treasures in the tomb, Big Beard and his men will have a way to take them away.

Unlike other tomb robbers, they either don’t have enough strength or enough people, so if they want to form a team, they have to gather several groups of people together.

There is no safety in a patchwork team.

What if the treasure hasn't been delivered to the destination yet, and those groups of people split up, snatched the treasure and fled in all directions, where would Lu Yi go to chase them?

However, the dwarf was not very clear about what treasure Lu Yi was looking for, and he only had a rough guess in his mind.

The dwarf looked at Yunmeng sincerely and said:

"I don't want to be Lu Yi's dog either. It's just that Lu Yi's men are too skilled in martial arts and I am no match for them. Otherwise, I would definitely not touch the old prince and princess' tombs."

"Really?" Yun Meng gave a look that said "do you think I believe it?"

At this time, the gentleman suddenly shouted: "I remember that when we were breaking the mechanism, he was the one who secretly guided us. He must not be as simple as he said."

"Oh." Yun Meng raised her eyebrows and moved the torch in her hand closer to the dwarf's wound, as if she was going to barbecue.

"No, no, no, I'm not. I didn't. I was just following Lu Yi's instructions. The mechanism was researched by Lu Yi."

The dwarf could already feel the heat of the fire and shouted even faster, "I don't know where Lu Yi got the cemetery mechanism map from.

It's not difficult to crack the mechanism as long as you follow the instructions on the picture, Princess, please believe me, what I say is true.

I didn’t mean to hide it, I just forgot about it.”

Yunmeng stopped the torch from moving, looked at the dwarf and asked, "What else did you forget? Tell me the truth, or the torch won't stop moving next time."

The tone was apparently gentle, but the dwarf broke out in a cold sweat. Was the torch really going to burn him?

It would be better to cut him into pieces than to burn him into pieces.

The scaredy little dwarf didn't play any tricks this time and behaved completely.

As far as the dwarf knew, the mechanical drawings were obtained from the descendants of the craftsmen who built the tombs for the old prince and princess.

As for why the descendant had the drawings, the dwarf couldn't explain it clearly.

Yunmeng touched his chin and thought about the key, and then Yunmeng remembered something particularly cruel.

That means the status of craftsmen in this era was really low.

The fate of a craftsman really doesn't depend on fortune-telling. If you're lucky, you can live a peaceful life as a craftsman.

If you are unlucky and your skills are too good, you may be noticed by a wealthy family and asked to build private buildings such as secret rooms and tombs, and it is easy for you to never come back.

The craftsmen who built the tombs for the old princes and princesses were no exception. When the project was completed, their lives also came to an end.

So it’s like someone’s descendants selling a blueprint. Forget it, Yunmeng doesn’t think about it anymore.

All I can say is that they are not people of the same era and cannot accept the setting of arbitrarily executing craftsmen.

It is no wonder that the craftsmen who study mechanical and architectural structures are easily discontinued in their inheritance. If they are killed generation after generation, it would be strange if the inheritance continued.

Maybe they would voluntarily cut off the inheritance, so that their descendants would be safe.

"What other secrets do you know about Lu Yi?" Yun Meng asked.

“I don’t know much, I only know that Lu Yi is a corrupt official, and his favorite thing to do is to amass wealth.

As long as the money is in place, there is nothing Lu Yi dare not do. The county under Lu Yi's rule was also managed by him in a mess, with endless darkness. "

When the dwarf talked about Lu Yi, his expression was complicated, with envy and resentment, which finally turned into fear.

It can be seen that although Lu Yi is a scholar, his methods are not simple, which aroused Yunmeng's interest.
