Chapter 12: Tomb Robber Partners

Listening to Li Xian's words, Ni Lai's heart suddenly chuckled, he originally thought that he was very clever in disguise, but he didn't expect that his identity was still recognized, and it was a five or six-year-old child who broke his identity.

"It seems that this young boy is a prince, although he is of noble birth, how can he see my unique secret art? It must be that the people around him suspect my identity, and I will fight him to the death to see what he can do to me? ”

After Ni Lai made up his mind, he said: "The king has wronged the villain this time, the villain is just a farmer, and he only knows how to serve the grain, how can he say that the tomb robber is a thief?" ”

But he heard Li Xian sneer, and said slowly: "It seems that this thief is planning to die and deny it, so this king will talk about Er's flaws, and then let's say, what did you mention just now?" ”

"It's an iron pickaxe, which the villain uses to lift up the earth." Ni Lai didn't hesitate, and opened his mouth to say, it really looked like he wasn't lying.

"If you are raising the soil, why do you dig a pit?" Li Xian ignored his rhetoric and continued to ask.

"The villain is going to dig a well in case of water and drought."

"It's a good well, if you really dig a well, why do you just stop digging less than two feet? If you are looking for a water source, how not to look for a low-lying place, but to seek a higher place, and where it is surrounded by mountains and rivers, the terrain is not high, and the back is a surging river, it is really a good place for feng shui, although it is not as good as the tomb of the emperor of Pishan, but it is also a rare treasure land, where you are looking for, what is it that is not the tomb of the prince and the rich? ”

"Huh? This, this, I didn't expect the other party to be just a child, his eyes were so vicious, not only saw through the depth of the pit I dug, but also saw the feng shui on the hillside in front of me at a glance, so it seems that the other party broke my identity at a glance, it is indeed not to deceive me, but really with real ability. It seems that it is difficult for me to get out today, so it is better to simply admit my guilt, anyway, he has no evidence of robbing the tomb, as long as I beg again, I don't worry about letting me go. ”

That Ni Lai is worthy of being a character who has entered Li Xian's eyes, but he came up with a countermeasure in a blink of an eye, only to see that his eyes turned red in an instant, and he kowtowed to Li Xian and said: "King Mingjian, the villain is really a tomb robber, but the villain has never stolen a tomb before, this is the villain's first shot." The villain is a good person, but forced by the family poverty, the old mother is seriously ill, helpless to take risks, the villain violated the king's law, should be punished, only the poor villain's mother but because of this lost her son to take care of, if there is a three long and two short, not only the villain's unfilial piety, the king will inevitably fall into an unkind name, the villain begged the king to allow the villain to take care of the old mother at home, until the old mother recovers, the villain will go to the king's mansion to receive the guilt, then admit the killing, the villain will not frown. ”

After finishing speaking, Ni Lai burst into tears, kowtowed, and was only moved by the tears of Shangguan Tingzhi on the side, looking at Li Xian with a sad face, hoping that Li Xian would agree to the tomb robber's request, or give him a lenient sentence.

But who is Li Xian? At a glance, he could see that what Ni Lai said was half-true and half-false, perhaps his mother was seriously ill and true, but from his skillful tomb robbery techniques and those sophisticated eyes, he knew that this person was already a habitual offender, and if it was the first time, he would definitely not believe it.

What's more, Li Xian's attitude towards Ni Lai has changed from wanting to eliminate harm for the people at the beginning to wanting to subdue him, so he naturally refuses to let go of this person so easily, so he said to Ni Lai: "Er's old mother, this king will send someone to take care of him, and then go to prison to serve his sentence with peace of mind." Come on, take away. ”

So Li Xian couldn't help but say that he ordered someone to tie Ni Lai on a rope and escort him to the back of the team, and asked Ni Lai about his mother's whereabouts from Ni Lai, and ordered someone to secretly investigate, and as a result, he found Ni Lai's mother, so he ordered Shangguan Tingzhi to find the local county order, took out the consistent money, ordered the county order to extend the medical treatment for it, and ordered the county order to hand over to the local security chief to take good care of Ni's mother.

Ni Lai didn't know what Li Xian did secretly, since he was captured by Li Xian's people, he was locked up in a dungeon, and after a rough calculation, nearly two months have passed, not only has he not been convicted, but he has not even been arraigned, if it weren't for the three meals a day that were sent as usual, he thought he had been forgotten.

As the days went by, even Ni Lai had always been calm, he couldn't help but feel secretly weak in his heart, and even gradually became panicked later, in fact, he was not afraid of the so-called interrogation in court, even if he was tortured, he would not give in, but this kind of endless confinement was really unbearable.

Just when Ni Lai felt almost desperate, one night, he suddenly heard the sound of the cell door being opened while he was half asleep, and then there was a slight sound of footsteps, if it weren't for his particularly sensitive ears, I am afraid that he really couldn't hear the footsteps of the other party.

"The person who came must be a master, could it be that he is here to execute me?" Rao is Ni Lai has always been bold, and in the face of death at this moment, he can't help but be afraid.

After a while, he saw the person who came in front of him, and to Ni Lai's surprise, the person who came turned out to be a man less than five feet tall, but because the prison was dim, he could not see the other party's face clearly, so he could not determine the identity of the other party.

However, Ni Lai did not have the slightest contempt for the other party's figure, he clenched his fists nervously, looked at the other party as calmly as possible, and then asked in a deep voice: "What do you want?" ”

But I heard the other party say with a little mockery: "Ni Zhuangshi, how does it feel like to be in prison?" ”

"Huh? It turned out to be King Zhou. Hearing the other party's immature voice, Ni Lai naturally immediately recognized the other party's identity. Although he can't afford to provoke a big man like him, but thinking of the prison disaster he has been subjected to in the past few months, Rao is he has always been calm, and he can't help the anger in his heart at this moment, and asked in a deep voice: "The villain is willing to accept punishment for the crime he committed, and the king will detain the villain for several months, without interrogation, and without sentencing, what does it mean?" ”

Li Xian was not annoyed when he heard this, and said with a smile: "Why did Ni Zhuangshi say this, why is this king like this?" It is a last resort, Xiao Wang has been investigating in detail in the past two months, the strong man has robbed the tomb since the beginning of last year, after more than eight months, the tomb stolen has as many as eighteen, although most of them are small households, but it is inevitable that there are official eunuchs, three months ago, the strong man robbed the tomb of the big family in Linxian County, the tomb of the governor of Luo, and has committed a serious crime. ”

"Huh? This method is so powerful, in just two months, the tomb I have stolen and dug has been completely investigated, and there is not a single mistake. When Ni Lai heard this, his face immediately turned pale, and cold sweat flowed down like a waterfall.

Just when Ni Lai thought that he was going to die, he suddenly heard Li Xian laugh and said: "Ni Zhuangshi doesn't need to be nervous, if this king wants his life, he can be sentenced after a direct trial, why should he be detained so far?" If you do as I tell you, this king will not only ensure that you will be able to save your life, but also make you wrap around your waist, and even ensure that you will be crowned with official robes in the future. ”

"Could it be that the king wants the villain to cooperate with the king and rob the tomb together?" Ni Lai was already smart, but now that he saw that Li Xian suddenly offered such generous conditions, he naturally understood that there would inevitably be an attempt behind him, and what he could be used by the other party was naturally only the means of robbing the tomb, which was not difficult to guess.

"Hehe, talking to smart people is to save effort", Li Xian did not hide it, and said directly to the point: "You can rest assured, this king will not make empty promises, even now will not make you busy in vain, in the future, this king will support you to rob the tomb behind your back, and the property obtained by you will be divided into three, and this king guarantees your safety, but the ugly words are ahead, what tomb is stolen, and to what extent the theft is up to the king, otherwise, once the matter is leaked, Hugh blames the king for breaking his wrist." ”

"Huh? I didn't expect this master to be so generous. Ni Lai was also surprised when he heard this, because he was just a little tomb robber who had just come out of school, in order to avoid the case, after each tomb robbery, he would inevitably give a huge amount of benefits to the master and local officials, especially his master, although he passed on his skills, but also regarded him as a cash cow, after each tomb robbery returned, the money taken away from his hands accounted for ninety percent of ninety, and the rest of the money was barely enough to give his mother medicine in addition to a dot, but if he wanted to spend a large amount of money to hire a famous doctor, the mother's illness was completely cured, He doesn't have the financial resources yet.

As long as he thought of the master who gave him money and almost squeezed himself dry, Ni Lai had an indescribable complex feeling in his heart, but in the end, it was because Li Xian gave him enough hope that he decided to get rid of the master who pressed him on his head.

As for whether Li Xian, as a dignified prince, actually did such a shameless thing as robbing tombs, it is legal and reasonable, he Ni Lai is just a small person, so he will not care about this.

So just a little hesitation, Ni Lai said: "The king is so loving, how dare the villain disobey?" It's just that the king has to get rid of one person for Xiao Wang, and the villain has to get rid of freedom, otherwise, as long as Xiao Wang dares to appear in Luozhou, he will be discovered by this person, and this person has a lot of power behind the scenes. ”

"Oh? What is the name of the man you are talking about? What is your identity? If you are a person in the rivers and lakes, this matter is not difficult; But if you are a person in the government, I am afraid that things will be difficult to do. Li Xian didn't say anything about it very much, just spread his hands and said slowly.

"Naturally not a person in the government, if it is a person in the government, the villain does not dare to trouble the king, do not hide from the king, this person is the master of the villain, nicknamed Tufuzi, the means of robbing the tomb are indeed wonderful, but it is greedy and harsh, the villain robbed the tomb for more than eight months, the tomb stolen eighteen, the property can only be obtained more than two times, only enough for the mother to catch medicine and daily expenses, want to invite a famous doctor to eradicate the mother, but it is not enough."

"Well, people die for money, birds die for food, and you do your best to collect money for him, but he is so unjust, naturally there is no need to cooperate, even so, this king will go to meet for a while, I don't know how many disciples this person has, where is the nest? Since we have decided to help you solve this problem this time, we naturally ask for a complete solution, and we can no longer leave any more troubles. ”

"This master is really a superior person, and his every move can show his boldness, I must not anger him in this life, otherwise I will definitely die without a place to die." Li Xian said casually, but the killing intent exuded from his body was very obvious, which made Ni Lai's heart even more awe-inspiring, and he didn't dare to betray again.
