Chapter 888: Rainy Night to Righteous Qi Villa (Page 1/1)

The dirty old man didn't answer, but asked, "Who are you?" ”

Zhiqiu Yiye has lived a good life since he met Li Nan, not only has the original tattered coarse cloth clothes on his body been changed, and he has put on a clean and well-textured robe.

Hearing that the old man didn't know himself, Zhiqiu Yiye hurriedly pointed to the Qin Dynasty half-body armor that was still wearing it and said: "Uncle, we met, I am the Taoist priest who came out of the soil last time and brought a letter for Ning Caichen, and this time we came to save him." ”

"Oh, that's you." The old man recognized Zhiqiu Yiye, but he shook his head and said, "You guys are late, at midnight the day before yesterday, the county order wanted to find someone to blame, and he was already beheaded." ”

"Chopped?" Li Nan and Zhiqiu Yiye didn't expect that the two of them would come quickly and hear the bad news.

Li Nan actually didn't have a deep friendship with Ning Caichen, and this time he came to the rescue thousands of miles away, but he just felt guilty in his heart.

Hearing the news of Ning Caichen's death at this time, Li Nan could only sigh: "Shi Ye, fate also, it seems that this stupid scholar should have this catastrophe!" ”

After sighing for a while, Li Nan said to the old man in prison: "I have spent a lot of silver to save Ning Caichen, since he has passed away, it is estimated that the silver will not be able to be taken back if it falls into the hands of the county order, so it is better for the old man to get out of prison." ”

"Thank you for your kindness, but I don't plan to go out!" The old man said with emotion: "Although it is big outside, it is only a bigger prison, and the world is getting darker and darker, it is not as safe as this prison, so I can write a book here with peace of mind!" ”

Li Nan thought about what he saw and heard along the way, although what this old man said was pessimistic, it was true for ordinary people who had no ability to protect themselves, although they lost their freedom by staying in this prison, it was at least better than being killed and eaten.

Everyone has their own ambitions, and Li Nan didn't intend to continue persuading, so he hurriedly took out a few ingots of silver from his arms and handed them to the old man, "You keep this money and ask the jailers to buy you some food from time to time." ”

The old man didn't go to pick up the few ingots of silver handed over by Li Nan, but said to him: "If you really want to give me some money, then change it for some loose pieces, you must know that those jailers will not give me change." ”

Hearing this old man's words, Li Nan smiled and said, "Hahaha, okay, I'll exchange some scattered silver for you, you spend it slowly!" ”

The silver was also gone, and Li Nan was about to leave with Zhiqiu Yiye, but the old man suddenly shouted: "Wait!" ”

Li Nan stopped and asked, "Old man, do you have anything else?" ”

"Hahaha......" The old man looked at Li Nan and said with a smile: "You came to help a scholar for thousands of miles, and when you see a useless prisoner like me, you also treat each other politely, giving alms and giving silver, but it seems that you are a rare good person, since this is the case, I will tell you Ning Caichen's whereabouts!" ”

Zhiqiu Yiye said angrily: "You old man, how can you deceive people? ”

The old man smiled and said, "If I don't try you, how do you know if you want to save the scholar or harm him?" ”

Li Nan patted Zhiqiu Yiye and reminded him not to be impatient, and then asked, "We are indeed here to save the scholar, please tell the old man his whereabouts." ”

The old man, who had been leaning against the wall, stood up, and he removed the straw that had been piled up there and lifted a plank of wood to reveal a hole through which a man could get through.

"This is the escape road that I dug for decades, sometimes I meet good people, I will let them live, Ning Caichen, a scholar, has a good character, so I let him go before he was beheaded, this secret road leads to the back mountain."

"Then why don't you get out of here?" Zhiqiu Yiye asked curiously.

"I'll forget it, I was born to go to jail." The old man sighed: "The old man's name is Zhuge Wolong, he likes to read since he was a child, and he has also become a high-ranking official of the imperial court after the title of the gold list. I didn't want the emperor to become more and more stupid, and the civil and military officials became more and more greedy, and the people were miserable. Unexpectedly, when I wrote history books, they still couldn't tolerate me, and framed me for deliberately satirizing the dynasty, and finally I was falsely imprisoned. The old man doesn't have a few years to live now, so let me fend for myself here! ”

Li Nan saw that the old man had made up his mind, and immediately said: "It's hard for a good person to live in troubled times, so take care of yourself!" ”

"I'm in this life, we meet because of fate, I'll give you this book."

After taking the book handed over by the old man, Li Nan didn't care, he put it away directly, and after a few words of thanks, he left the prison with Zhiqiu Yiye.

The two rode around the low stone hill behind the prison, and found that it was desolate, Li Nan jumped off the horse and carefully inspected the broken weeds on the ground, and found that someone was walking far away not long ago, and hurriedly chased after Zhiqiu Yiye.

Along the way, I saw that there were barren grass everywhere, and many small villages were unpopulated, leaving only ruins and broken walls.

Li Nan secretly calculated that it stands to reason that Ning Caichen escaped the night before yesterday, and based on his footsteps, he should not be able to run far, so he slowed down and carefully checked the traces on the side of the road.

In the late afternoon, the sky was cloudy, and soon raindrops were falling, Li Nan and Zhiqiu Yiye saw a rather large building not far ahead, and immediately rode there.

This building should have been small, but now it is a little dilapidated, not only the outer wall and the wall are all gone, but even the stone lion at the gate of the courtyard is only the base.

The two rode directly to the main house with a height of three or four meters, Li Nan looked at the plaque on the door and said, "Zhengqi Villa? ”

Judging from the name and the style of this building, this should have been a very imposing manor in the past, but I didn't expect it to be dilapidated to this point now.

Pushing open the two broken doors, Li Nan and Zhiqiu Yiye tied their horses to the pillars on the side, and after lighting the fire fold, they found that there were eight coffins neatly placed in the main hall with a large space.

If ordinary people saw these coffins on this rainy night, they would definitely be frightened in their hearts, but Li Nan and Zhiqiu Yiye were not only skilled, but they also did the work of slaying demons and eliminating demons, so they naturally would not be afraid of a few coffins.

The two walked in front of these coffins in turn by the light of the fire fold, and learned from the broken sacrificial text pasted on the coffin that the Xiahou family was the owner of this righteous villa, and then the whole family of eight died overnight, and for some reason they were not buried, but were put in the hall by the coffin.

Since coming to this world, he has seen too many tragic things, Li Nan bowed his hand and said: "My brothers and sisters passed by here and prepared to spend the night, I hope that everyone in the Xiahou family will not mind, and I also hope that you will choose when you are reincarnated, and you will not be born in this troubled world." ”
