Cross the doghouse to save Party A, Your Highness owes me ten mines

The soldiers searched for so long, almost turning over the entire Huai'an City, but they could not find any trace of the bounty hunter, Shi Liang.

But Shi Liang was a man who was widely recognized as a chivalrous man who hated evil. Regardless of whether this was true or not, although General Chen had always disdained it, he was at least certain that if he could not catch him within a day, Shi Liang would definitely make public the fact that he had imprisoned Princess Rong'an.

Although he is the general, there are still many people in Huai'an who are the old subordinates of King Huai'an. These people who cannot be cleared out in a short time will probably come to visit King Huai'an to find out whether the rumors are true.

"Sir, we have searched every possible place in the city, but we have not found any trace of the bounty hunter, Ten Ryo."

"Sir, all the houses in the city have been searched, and no suspicious people have been found."

"Sir, the city gate has been blocked for more than six hours, and now the city gate is crowded with people trying to enter and leave the city..."

"My lord, something bad has happened." The butler came in hurriedly from outside, holding a half-chain in his hand.

This chain was made of fine steel and was used to hit the hands and feet of King Huai'an directly to prevent him from leaving the secret room.

The chain is so strong that it cannot be broken by a knife or burned by fire. Unless King Huai'an is burned to ashes, it cannot be opened. But now it has been split in half?

General Chen waved his hand to let the others go down, and took the half chain in his hand to examine it. He saw that the broken end of the chain was very smooth and neat. What kind of weapon in the world could cut the broken end so neatly? You have to know that this chain was made by a swordsmith. The swordsmith guaranteed that no weapon in the world could break this chain. This chain was his most proud work in his life. The swordsmith was also killed when the chain was made. So there should be no weapon in the world that can cut this chain.

Is there any weapon in this world that can split two thick pieces of fine steel?

"Is there any blood in the house?"

"My Lord, there is no trace of blood in the house. The guards outside the dungeon didn't notice anything until they went to deliver dinner at night and found out that the person was gone. We realized something was wrong and hurried to report to you..."

The dungeon was dozens of meters deep and made of bluestone. The passage was extremely narrow. It was a place where one man could block a thousand. Since its construction, no one had ever been able to get out alive. And the guards were all experts. How was it possible that someone could die quietly?

The dungeon was built in the southwest corner of the mansion, behind the door of the woodshed, an extremely secret place.

General Chen first pulled out a handkerchief from his sleeve and gently covered his nose with it, then he ordered someone to push open the stone door. Instantly, a musty and sour smell hit his nose. He frowned and bent over to go in, stepping step by step on the dark and damp steps. The old wood made a creaking sound.

The passage was very narrow, less than one meter, and the wooden stairs were very steep. The candlelight flickered. Occasionally, at the flatter corners, there were many half-human-high iron cages, and painful groans could be heard from inside.

His eyes, which used to be affectionate, scanned everywhere like a hawk.

Go all the way to the innermost dungeon deep in the dungeon,

This dungeon is actually quite large, and fortunately there is a wooden door with a hole in it, which is where meals are delivered every day.

Since the King of Huai'an was imprisoned inside, the wooden door could not be opened easily, and outsiders were not allowed to communicate with him to prevent him from escaping. Therefore, the iron lock that locked the wooden door had long been rusted in the humid environment.

"Your Excellency, I just delivered food but no one answered. I looked inside and found that the person was gone. I opened the wooden door in surprise..."

General Chen used a handkerchief to hold the rusted iron lock and took a look at it, then pushed the door open and went in.

The inside was old and filthy, but on the filthy ground, there were only footprints of King Huai'an. The walls of the house were old and covered with spider webs and dust, but the spider king had played well, and the dust remained the same. Even the broken chains were lying quietly on the ground.

Apart from the footprints on the ground where the butler came in to take the chains, there were no other traces belonging to anyone other than the King of Huai'an.

"Did you notice anything unusual before the person disappeared?"

"My Lord, I found nothing unusual."

"Your Excellency, I didn't hear any sound."

“…There is absolutely no stranger coming in.”

"The iron chain is still in good condition today..."

"..."

"Can a person just disappear out of thin air?" General Chen suddenly roared.

"Maybe there are some extraordinary people..."

"fart!"

He never believed in ghosts and gods. If there were evil spirits in this world, he would have died long ago. None of the people he killed over the years had ever returned to him.

"Please forgive me, sir!" The butler knew that he was being doubted, and cold sweat dripped down his face.

General Chen looked around at the people kneeling on the ground, and doubts slowly spread in his heart.

There were no signs of people from outside, so it must be someone from the mansion who was causing trouble. He came out of the dungeon and headed towards the courtyard where Princess Rong'an was imprisoned.
