Chapter 501: The Enemy
When the man named Liu Yang brought it, Xiao Jing was taken aback by his appearance.
Although he was wounded, he did not look serious: although his left arm and shoulder were firmly bandaged, and blood could be seen in some places on his body, at least he had walked in on his own, and his steps did not falter in the slightest.
What was really scary was his face.
Liu Yang's face looked like "seeing a ghost", and that expression could be described as "terrifying"; At the same time, his eyes are so empty that he has no focus, and the whole person feels like a walking corpse.
One of the guards shouted beside him, "Don't hurry up and salute when you see my master!" ”
Liu Yang was still sluggish and did not react at all. The guard frowned and shouted again, and he came back to his senses for a moment; After looking around, he suddenly knelt on the ground with a "plop", and said with tears in his eyes: "Noble help!" Ask the nobleman to save the villain! ”
The world is very big, but Liu Yang has nowhere to go. Now he is like a person who is about to drown, even if there is only a straw floating in the water, he has to reach out and grab it.
Xiao Jing was hiding in the shadows back then, so Liu Yang couldn't remember his existence at all, and only knew that the two had met once not long ago. If he knew that he had a relationship in Lezhou back then, I don't know if he would feel the magic of fate?
Xiao Jing calmly closed his eyes and said lightly: "You and I are just one side, why should I help you?" Just because I saved you once doesn't mean I'll save you a second time. ”
Liu Yang kowtowed on the ground like pounding garlic, and hurriedly said: "The villain knows that the life and death of your own family is a matter of your words...... If you have anything to do, just command, the villain must know everything, say everything, saddle the horse and tie the grass for you......"
Xiao Jing waved his hand to stop his chatter, nodded and said, "If you are really so sincere, then let's talk about it: who is coming to kill you?" Why did they take your life? ”
Liu Yang originally wanted to sell to the nobleman with a flattering face, but after hearing this, he obviously hesitated.
"Why, didn't you say you had to know everything?" Xiao Jing frowned and said coldly: "This is what you call before and after the saddle?" Since Liu Yuanwai did not mean to be honest, Xiao was not reluctant...... Someone, send off! ”
"Huh?"
Liu Yang, who had already calmed down a little, immediately panicked. He was dragged out by the guards, struggling desperately, and said: "Nobleman, the villain said, the villain said everything!" ”
The guards put the person down at Xiao Jing's signal. Liu Yang, who was lying on the ground like dead ashes, swallowed his saliva heavily and opened his mouth with difficulty.
"When the villain is a human being, it is a business done with a group of brothers...... Originally, everyone made a lot of money, and they said that they would continue to do this work for a long time, who knows...... In the year of the great drought in Hedong, something suddenly happened. ”
"The villains brought a group of people to Lezhou to sell, and there were some and some for sale. Originally, it was done well, and the government generally didn't care, but I don't know why the official mission of Lezhou came out to take people like crazy that day, and several of the villain's brothers were taken, and later I heard that they were sentenced to exile and beheading. ”
Seeing that the situation was not good, the rest of the people hid and went out of the city in groups early the next morning. Everyone thought that this was an escape, but who knew that the villain and the others encountered an ambush on the way, and all the brothers, including the boss, died. ”
At that time, the villain was hit by an arrow and fell off the cliff, thinking that there was no luck, but when he fell, he was blocked by the branches on the mountain wall, and then fell into a pile of wild grass. After waking up from a serious injury, he was lucky enough to meet a hunter, and this is the only way to save a life. ”
"What I do is pin my head to the waistband of my trousers. In the past, just in case, all the brothers hid some belongings in a secret place. When the injuries were healed, the villain ran back to the other side and took out all the goods, and ran to a town far away from home under the pseudonym 'Liu Yang'. ”
"I thought that I could finally retire and have a peaceful life for a few days, but it didn't take half a year to settle down and someone recognized the villain. As a last resort, the villain moved again, this time near the capital.
"People who walk the rivers and lakes know the truth of 'dark under the lights', and it may be safer to hide under the noses of a group of nobles. In order to live in peace, the villain prays to God and worships Buddha every day, and all the gods worship again, and three incense sticks are put on every morning and evening. ”
As a result, after a few months, another traveling merchant recognized the villain. The neighbors all looked down on people's teeth, and some people poured feces at the villain's door in the middle of the night...... The villain wanted to run again, but who let himself be a street rat back then, and when did this run become a head? After thinking about it, the villain adopted a few fatherless and motherless children nearby, and hired a servant woman to take care of it, which can be regarded as a good reputation. ”
Later, the mirror newspaper was sold to the villains. The villain pondered that this was not enough, and that he had to do something to let the neighbors see, so that everyone would know that the villain was a serious person, so he used the name of the mirror newspaper to follow the example of the mirror newspaper and set up a newspaper. ”
"At first, the villain was still a little scared, so he didn't dare to come forward in person, but as the days went by, he became bolder, thinking that after so many years, the enemy would not come back again, so he came out and showed himself."
As he spoke, he raised his head quite smugly and said, "Now speaking of villains, who in the town doesn't respectfully call 'Liu Yuanwai'?" Alas......"
Halfway through the words, he knew that his future was bleak, and he wilted like a deflated ball.
"Do you know who is going to get rid of you?" Xiao Jing looked at him with a smile and said, "You don't have a clue in your heart, do you?" ”
Liu Yang, who was sweating like pulp, wiped the sweat on his head and said tremblingly: "The villains and brothers have walked the rivers and lakes for many years, and they have done countless wrong things, and even the little sons of rich and noble families have also walked away...... Hey, there are so many people who have offended, and I don't know where that group of innocent assassin villains came from. ”
Seeing Xiao Jing's face slowly sinking, a flash of inspiration suddenly appeared in his heart, and he said, "Speaking of which, there is a clue. The villain once had a big customer called Master Wang, and that time the trafficker came to Lezhou was the thread he pulled. Some of the people we brought with us were not for sale, and those people had already said that they would hand them over to Master Wang the day after the accident, but who knew that something was going on......
Everything was clear, and he was still muttering something in his mouth. Although the voice was not loud, Xiao Jing and the guards heard it clearly:
"If someone hadn't made some newspapers...... That damn Xiao Jing! ”
With a "bang", the guard standing beside him had already drawn his sword out of its sheath.
