Since Li Nan knew that Ximenqing was preparing to deal with him, he maintained a state of vigilance every day, but the revenge that should have come has not yet arrived.

Some people say that waiting is the most tiring, and there is a lot of truth in that.

Because he was worried about Ximenqing's secret attack, Li Nan didn't even dare to sleep too heavily now, but fortunately, the jailer's work was very leisurely, and there was a lot of rest in the world, so he didn't fall down from exhaustion.

On this day, Li Nan was on duty in the prison when he suddenly heard the sound of hurried and dense footsteps outside the door, and hurriedly got up to check.

The lineup outside the prison is not small, not only Li Nan's top boss Sun Bantou has arrived, but also the county is responsible for leading the archers, and the capital of Qinghe in Linxian County.

Dozens of soldiers pointed at an old man in a white robe as if they were facing a great enemy.

The white-robed old man had a heavy flail of more than 20 catties around his neck, his hands were also handcuffed by iron chains, and several wounds on his shoulders and waist and abdomen were still bleeding, but there was a mysterious smile on his face.

Seeing this kind of battle, Li Nan hurriedly arched his hand and asked, "Sun Bantou, what's going on?" ”

Sun Bantou sighed and said, "Alas! Don't mention it, you quickly lead the way and put this Manichaean Dharma Master in Cell No. 1. ”

After all, Li Nan had only been in the Northern Song Dynasty for a short time, and he really didn't know what Manichaeism was.

Since the boss had already spoken, Li Nan didn't dare to say more, so he hurriedly took out the key to lead the way first, leading everyone to the No. 1 cell of A.

Li Nan handcuffed the chains on the Manichaean old man's wrists against the wall and locked them, and then closed the sturdy prison door, which was relieved by the many soldiers.

After dealing with the business, Sun Bantou said to the two: "Wu Dutou, Qian Tiju, you have all worked hard, sit down and drink a glass of water." ”

Wu Du of Qinghe County shook his head with a depressed look on his face and said: "I won't stay longer, this time in order to capture this important criminal, three or four brothers were killed in battle, and I will go back early to bury them." ”

Qian Tiju also said: "I also went back, there are five people in our county, including Liu Dutou, I want to go and report to the county magistrate quickly." ”

After the two adults and dozens of soldiers walked out of the prison, Qian Tiju specially instructed: "Sun Bantou, this Manichaean felony will be taken to Tokyo in a few days, you must be careful not to kill him first." ”

Sun Bantou Zhengse said: "Don't worry, as long as the prisoner is in prison, then he will definitely not be able to escape." I'm going to send more men to keep a watchful eye on it. ”

It seems that the above really attaches great importance to this prisoner, and after the others left, Sun Bantou hurriedly called Fan Sanlang, who was on duty in the women's prison, over.

For this Fan Saburo, Li Nan, who secretly despises his character and behavior, is just a friendship that meets and says hello.

Men's prisons are different from women's prisons, if women go to prisons, they are more miserable than men, especially women's prisons like Fan Saburo, who are guarded by hungry ghosts.

Li Nan, who came from later generations, at least had basic moral concepts and a heart of good and evil, but Fan Saburo not only forced the prisoner's family to take a hard rope, but the female prisoners in the prison basically did not escape his clutches.

After Fan Saburo came to the men's prison, he began to brag endlessly about how many women he had played with over the years, this guy was not only lustful, but also had the habit of abusive, and he was excited when he talked about using various methods to destroy those female prisoners.

Although Li Nan also likes women, he really can't agree with his obscene and perverted behavior.

Taking advantage of Fan Sanlang's dry mouth and drinking water, Li Nan stood up and said, "You can rest first, I'll go and bring some water to the prisoner." ”

Fan Saburo sneered disapprovingly: "These people are all guilty of deserving crimes, you are really kind, and you will send them water." ”

Li Nan pretended not to hear Fan Sanlang's words, and after carrying the jug to the corridor, he successively handed water to more than a dozen prisoners in the prison, and finally came to the No. 1 cell of Jiazi, he couldn't help but hesitate.

This old man of Manichaeism, who could single-handedly kill more than a dozen soldiers in the county and the head of Yanggu County, was definitely a murderer, but seeing that he was not only wearing a heavy flail but also handcuffed to the wall, there should be no danger.

After opening the prison door, Li Nan came to the old man and said, "Drink some water." ”

"The Ming Dynasty is generally pure, and there is no movement and no curse. He has no trouble with joy, but there is no use in suffering. Always be happy and bright, if you say that you are sick, it is useless......"

The old man, who kept whispering and reciting scriptures, opened his eyes, looked at Li Nan and said with a smile: "I can't move, then there will be little brother Lao." ”

Li Nan didn't speak, poured a bowl of water and handed it to the old man's mouth.

After drinking three bowls of water in a row, the old man exhaled comfortably.

Li Nan saw that the edges and corners of his neck were worn by the heavy flail and bleeding, so he kindly put a rag on the old man's neck.

Just as he was about to leave this cell, he heard the old Manichaean man behind him say, "Little brother, I see that you have a pure heart, can you talk to me a few words?" ”

"I don't talk to murderous cultists." Li Nan shook his head and replied.

The old man smiled: "Hehe, then do you know what Manichaeism is?" ”

"I don't know."

"Since you don't know, how do you know that we are a cult?"

The old man's words make some sense, anyway, Li Nan, who has nothing to do and is a little interested in the anecdotes of this era, casually moved a wooden bench from outside the prison.

After sitting down, he said, "Then tell me what Manichaeism is." ”

"Our Manichaeism is also called Mingjiao, and the people in the religion advocate the equality of all sentient beings, the same party, mutual financial assistance, diligence and thrift, and the teachings are pure, bright, vigorous, and wise......

Li Nan didn't hear the old man's words clearly, but when he heard the word Mingjiao, he couldn't help but be shocked.

To say that Li Nan of Manichaeism has really not heard much, but Mingjiao is famous in later generations, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang is said to have a deep relationship with Mingjiao, and Mr. Jin Lao wrote "Heaven and Dragon Slayer", which is even more known.

Li Nan asked curiously, "Is your Manichaean altar at the top of the light?" ”

The old man asked in surprise: "We don't have a fixed place for our mission, and I have never heard of the location of Guangming Peak. ”

"Oh."

Hearing this answer, Li Nan was a little disappointed, since Mingjiao does not have a bright top, then there will be no Yang Ding Tianzhang Wuji.

Li Nan didn't need to carefully study the teachings of this Ming Sect, just because their main thing was the equality of all beings, they would definitely be disliked by the rulers of various dynasties.

After chatting with the old man of Manichaeism for a while, Li Nan locked the cell door and walked out with a jug, but he didn't expect a knife light to come to him as soon as he arrived at the corner.

Li Nan reflexively blocked the jug in his hand, and took advantage of the splash to take a few steps back and pull out his waist knife.

Two people came out of the corner of the dim prison corridor, and the first one was a girl wearing a white dress and holding a single knife, and her hair was combed into a bun, about sixteen or seventeen years old, and she should have been the one who attacked Li Nan just now.

The one in the back was a man in his twenties, wearing a white robe, but he was holding a longbow in his hand, and the bow was aimed at Li Nan with an arrow.

The woman in the white dress looks sweet, but when she speaks, she is murderous: "You dog slave of the government, hurry up and release my father, I will leave you a whole corpse!" ”

Although the jailer that Li Nan crossed into can use fists and feet, he is also an ordinary roadman, and he can deal with a ruffian hooligan, but the other party is a knife and a bow and arrow, I am afraid that he is not an opponent.

The heroes don't suffer the losses in front of them, and Li Nan has no loyalty to the yamen of the Song Dynasty, so he hurriedly said: "Don't be impatient, you two, I am just a guard to support my family and earn some money, and I still have a seriously ill brother and sister-in-law at home." If you want to save anyone, then you will say that you want to spare your life. ”

The girl in the white dress said disdainfully: "Phew! Weak dog minion, hurry up and lead the way, hurry up and let my dad go! ”

Li Nan said embarrassedly: "Little lady, you should first tell your father what his surname is, what a look." Otherwise, there are dozens of people in this prison, and I really don't know which one is your father. ”
