Reborn in Liangshan: I built the strongest lineup

“Shamen Prison currently holds 438 prisoners, of whom more than 300 were wrongfully imprisoned.”

Shen Qing led Ren Yuan and the others toward the prison, talking as they walked.

"And the jailers who guarded them were different from us; they were the kind who would torture people as soon as they saw them, and they were all mentally unstable."

“Although you are all heroes of the martial world, you still have to be careful. These people below spend all day in places where there is no sunlight, and they are no longer human.”

"Aren't they coming up?"

Ren Yuan was a little curious. Why were they acting so mysteriously, when they were just jailers?

"They are both jailers and prisoners, so they can't get up here."

Shen Qing sighed deeply.

“The daily meals are prepared by us higher-ups and then sent down. These people are just messing around down here all day long.”

"We don't want to go down, and they don't want to come up. They spend their days scheming and tormenting people for pleasure."

"Then there's nothing more to say."

Ren Yuan instructed his men to arrest anyone dressed as a jailer and kill them without mercy if they resisted.

"Among those who were wrongly accused, are there any individuals who deserve attention?"

Ren Yuan continued to ask.

"Yes, there are three people among those down there who are not easy for the prison guards to mess with."

Shen Qing thought for a moment, then slowly said:

"However, let's deal with the immediate problem first."

Unbeknownst to them, they had already arrived in the lower level of the prison, which was also a large hall, but this hall was completely different from the one above!

Dozens of jailers were busy at work, their expressions somewhat ferocious in the firelight, and many of their clothes were stained with blood.

"Shen Qing, it's not lunchtime yet, what are you doing down here? And with so many strangers?"

The moment Shen Qing appeared with so many people, he immediately attracted their attention! One of the older jailers immediately asked.

"Um... if I said I just came here for a stroll, would you believe me?"

Shen Qing spread his hands, indicating that he was actually innocent.

"Go! Don't hold back!"

Ren Yuan and the others immediately took action! They weren't stupid; these people reeked of blood, which meant they weren't good people, so there was no need to show mercy!

"Shen Qing! What are you trying to do? Break me out of prison?!"

The lower-ranking jailers exclaimed in surprise, "Shamen Prison has been established for a hundred years, and this is the first time someone has ever attempted to break into the prison in front of us!"

"It's not that I want to do anything, but I can't stop these brothers in the underworld from doing what they want to do."

Shen Qing silently retreated to a dark, safe corner of the hall, and then looked at the battle unfolding before him.

The numbers are roughly the same, but Ren Yuan's side has truly formidable experts.

Ren Yuan, Lin Chong, Mi Sheng, Bian Xiang, and Deng Fei, like five sharp knives, charged fiercely into the prison guards' quarters. Even Pei Xuan was now fighting two against one with both hands.

Hua Rong did not come; he led the other leaders and men of Liangshan to guard outside.

Before long, all the jailers were dealt with.

"Goodness, brother, these jailers are something else."

Bian Xiang wiped the blood splattered on his face. Although the group of prison guards were not very skilled in martial arts, they were all fearless and just like the ghost soldiers in mythology.

"That's right, brother. They seem to really like biting people. If it weren't for my wristband, they would have bitten it through."

Mi Sheng raised his wrist, and on his wrist guard were two rows of sharp, deep teeth marks.

“These people, who spend their days in this dark and sunless place and take pleasure in torturing others, are no longer human.”

Ren Yuan also felt that he had just faced not a human, but a wild beast.

"Brother Shen Qing, where to next?"

After Pei Xuan finished dealing with his opponent, he stayed by Shen Qing's side.

"To be honest, I hadn't thought of this part. I thought you might not be able to get past these people. I just wanted to bring you down here to try your luck."

Shen Qing said something with some shame.

"But now that you've dealt with most of the jailers, everything's fine. I'll take you away from here."

Faced with such an honest guy, no one knew what to say. They wanted to curse, but they didn't know what to say.

"Let's go. Didn't you say there were three people who are not easy to mess with? Shall we go take a look?"

Ren Yuan said to Shen Qing.

"Okay, come with me."

Shen Qing took a torch and then led his men on a tour of the prison.

Ren Yuan and others, those who were able, also took torches and followed.

In the middle of the prison, there was only one narrow path, with cells on both sides. In the firelight, everyone could vaguely see that in each cell, there was a dark, huddled mass that could barely move and could only groan softly.

"These are prisoners who were dealt with by those jailers. They were basically subjected to severe torture, and there's basically no hope for them."

Shen Qing walked to a cell, raised a torch, and everyone saw that the person inside was so injured that he had lost all reaction to the light and could only make one or two incomprehensible sounds.

What was their ultimate fate?

Lin Chong asked.

"You don't want to know."

Shen Qing didn't say anything and continued leading the group forward.

In a cell further inside, Shen Qing stopped and spoke to everyone.

"In the Shamen Island prison, there are three people that the prison guards cannot afford to offend. He is the first one, nicknamed 'Brutal Man'."

Following the firelight, everyone saw a large, shirtless man sitting cross-legged in the cell, seemingly fast asleep.

This big man was incredibly strong, with bulging muscles and many scars on his body, though they all seemed to have healed. He was also very tall! Sitting there, he looked no less imposing than an average person!

"He is a brute. He is said to be the last descendant of the Wei Wuzu of the Wei Kingdom during the Warring States period. The court wanted to obtain the training secrets of the Wei Wuzu, but he resolutely refused to tell, so he was exiled here."

"Do you know that the imperial court mobilized nearly a thousand elite soldiers to capture him?"

"Goodness, brother, this guy is something else, let's save him."

Upon hearing this, Mi Sheng immediately became interested in this person!

Do you know why it took so many people to catch him?

Shen Qing turned around and said to Mi Sheng.

"Because he's highly skilled in martial arts! He can take on a thousand men!"

The question about facial expressions is easy; he knows it.

"Wrong. This guy's martial arts skills are only passable, but he has a family heirloom, the Wei Wu Zu's Horizontal Training Kung Fu. Once mastered, he can become incredibly strong and fearless of ordinary swords. That's why the court mobilized so many people to capture him alive."

Ren Yuan raised an eyebrow. Why did this evaluation seem so familiar?

I feel like I've heard this somewhere before!

"Let's keep going."

After leaving the area inhabited by the brute, Shen Qing continued to lead the way. Not far away, they arrived at another prison cell, but this one was filled with the smell of medicine and was a closed cell.

"Besides the brute, there is also a doctor and a warrior in this Shamen Prison. This is the doctor's cell."

"Who is this doctor?"

Ren Yuan felt that having this doctor would be a good thing, as it would reduce An Daoquan's burden.

"His name is Huawei. He is said to be a descendant of Hua Tuo, whose ancestors were all imperial physicians. Later, I heard that he was involved in some palace incident and was punished by being sent here."

Shen Qing recalled for a moment, "Yes, that's right, this doctor has this background. However, because of his excellent medical skills, he has always been a prison doctor since he arrived. He hasn't been beaten or anything like that. On the contrary, he is liked by the prison guards."

"And what about the other warrior?"

Bian Xiang silently counted, "Hmm, one more person is needed."

"I don't think you'd want to see that guy. He's a martial arts fanatic; if you meet him, it's a fight to the death, and he'll decide who's better."

Shen Qing turned around and asked:

"Are you sure you want to see them?"
