Chapter 12: The leader of the Snake Gang is discovered

Located in the north of Chunju Castle in Shonan, Zixia Villa was originally the manor of a local wealthy man. Since Liu Shancang's armed force increased to more than 1,000 people, he took Zixia Villa as his own; as his home base. and proclaimed this armed force as the Liu Jiajun of Southern Hunan; Be your own commander.

On the way to Zixia Villa, Nie Feng learned an important piece of information from the thief--- "Back then, the Evil Snake Gang assassinated the Nie family and exposed his identity; Liu Shanpao killed people in order to kill people. led us to kill Liu Kui's men on the way; Just when Liu Shanpao was about to poison Liu Kui, Liu Kui didn't know what to say in Liu Shanpao's ear; Liu Shanpao spared Liu Kui and took him back to Zixia Villa and hid him in a secret cellar. ”

When Nie Feng heard this, he hurriedly asked, "What about the old lady Nie who was kidnapped by Liu Kui?" What about the corpses of Liu Kui's men? ”

"I didn't see Liu Kui, and there was an old lady by their side. Their corpses were melted away by the corpse-killing fluid (now sulfuric acid) that Liu Shancang brought with him; The rest of the clothes were buried in place. ”

Nie Feng then asked, "Do you know Liu Shancano's secret cellar?"

"I don't know, that cellar is only known to Liu Shanpao and his military advisors." The thief paused and continued, "However, I am sure that the secret cellar should be in the back garden of Zixia Villa; That was the place where Liu Shanpao usually met in secret, and none of us dared to go there without his permission. Violators killed! ”

Nie Feng then asked: "Do you know who did the tragedy of the Rong family in Lianzhou City, northern Xiangbei?" ”

"I don't know about this, it shouldn't have been done by Liu Shanpao or Liu Kui. Because Lianzhou is not their territory. The thief replied.

Nie Feng said meaningfully: "What kind of position are you in Liu Shanpao?" Do you know Liu Shanpao's subordinate He Jian? ”

The thief hurriedly replied: "He Jian and I both belong to Liu Shancano's vanguard - to put it bluntly, they are the people who specialize in making cannon fodder for Liu Shanpao." Why does the hero know He Jian? ”

Nie Feng sternly frightened him and said, "He Jian was touched by me when he was chasing and killing Xian Wenjie, so I killed him." ”

When the thief heard this, he was so frightened that he trembled and said, "We are all forced by Liu Shancannon, if we don't obediently obey him; He will send people to kill our relatives. Hero, please spare your life, I will listen to you whatever you ask me to do. ”

Nie Feng said emotionally: "As long as you leave Liu Shanpao in the future, I will spare you if you are a good person." ”

The thief said gratefully, "I, Warwick, will listen to you in the future." ”

Nie Feng smiled and said, "In the future, you will call me Nie Feng, and I will now take you as his subordinate for my eldest brother Xian and He Jian." All right? ”

After hearing this, Hua Wei said happily: "Brother Nie, it turns out that you didn't kill He Jian. I obey your arrangement; From now on, you will be the first to look forward. ”

Along the way, Hua Wei desperately told Nie Feng and Pan all the secrets of Liu Shanpao that he could think of.

When it was still dawn the next day, Nie Feng and the others rushed to Chunzhou City. Hua Wei saw the flames in the direction of Zixia Villa from a distance. He hurriedly said, "Brother Nie, look, I'm afraid something has happened to Zixia Villa." ”

Nie Feng looked in the direction that Hua Wei was pointing and said disappointedly, "It seems that we are still a step late." ”

When they walked into Zixia Mountain Villa, the sight in front of them made Nie Feng unbelievable - there were corpses lying everywhere. Overnight, Liu Shanpao's headquarters was bulldozed.

Who did this, Nie Feng thought and said, "Warwick go and see if there is any life." ”

They searched the entire Zixia Villa and found no one alive. Nie Feng inspected the corpse and said, "Hua Wei, you go and check it carefully again to see if there are any corpses of Liu Shanpao and his military advisor." ”

Nie Feng squatted beside some corpses and thought secretly: "Judging from the death of these people, it was done by a group of people who are familiar with Liu Shanpao. Most of these people died of food poisoning in the panic, and those who were not poisoned were shot and killed by the people who rushed in, and then a torch was lit to the lodge. Such a vicious move--- the inside should be combined with the outside.

At this time, Hua Wei hurriedly ran over and said, "Brother Nie, I didn't find the bodies of Liu Shanpao and his military advisor Liu Yong. ”

"Warwick, take me to Liu Shanpao's back garden to find out where the cellar is. They must have fled from there. Nie Feng pondered.

The two searched carefully in the garden for a long time, but did not find the cellar. At this time, a rockery in the fish pond caught Nie Feng's attention. I saw Nie Feng 'sweep thousands of troops' with one move, and smashed the entire rockery that was exposed to the water.

"Brother Nie, look at the entrance of the cave." Warwick shouted.

The two of them jumped into the cave to see the blood on the ground extending into a secret passage on the left; There are two dungeons on the right, and in one of them lies a person. Nie Feng and the others walked forward to take a look, and saw that this person had long hair and beard; It looks so long that it almost covers the entire face. Feet and hands are gone; Curled up in there like a ball.

Suddenly, the man shouted: "Liu Shancang, you murderer of a thousand knives, please stop torturing me, kill me quickly!" ”

As soon as Nie Feng heard it, he knew that this person should be Liu Kui that Huawei was talking about. Nie Feng shouted excitedly: "Liu Kui, do you know who I am." ”

Liu Kui heard an unfamiliar voice, paused and said, "I don't care who you are, I just ask you to do me a favor --- kill me." ”

Nie Fengqing said even more excitedly: "Killing you is for sure." But before I kill you, I sue you, you are innocent of death; I am the little young master you escaped when you caused the tragedy of the Nie family in Guangping three years ago. ”

Liu Kui laughed and said: "It's good, it's good, I can die at the hands of the enemy and feel at ease." ”

Liu Kui took a breath and said, "Little Master Nie, before you kill me, I will tell you everything I know." Let Liu Shanpao also live in fear, and want to kill me. ”

"Back then, when we attacked your Nie family, because our identities were exposed, Liu Shanpao wanted to kill us; Halfway through, he killed all my brothers, and I lied to him and told him that your old lady had told me some secrets about the treasure. He didn't kill me and locked me up here, and after half a year, he knew that I had deceived him and cut off my hands and feet, making my life worse than death. ”

"Are you assigned by Liu Shanpao to commit murder against my family?"

"Yes, Liu Shanpao promised me to give me a hundred gold bars and a hundred pistols when the deed is completed."

"Then Liu Shanpao is the real murderer behind the scenes?"

"Probably not, before looking for me to do things, he told me that someone offered a high price to ask him to assassinate your family and kidnap the old lady Nie, he said that for the sake of you and me, take me to make a fortune, in fact, he was fighting with Zhang Yanming in Xiangbei at that time, and he couldn't leave at all; That's why they came to me. ”

"And what about my great-grandfather?"

"According to Liu Shanpao's confession, I took him to the 'Huayang Pavilion' in the north of Guangping City, and then was picked up by a group of armed masked men."

"How are you going to hand it over?"

"To the code, he said Shonan; I said Liu Shancano. This is also what Liu Shanpao told me beforehand. ”

"You didn't notice a single trace of the masked men."

"I didn't notice it at all, they only showed their eyes, and they even spoke with their voices raised on purpose. They walked away in less than a minute. ”

"What about the speaker's accent?"

"It's a bit like Xiangnan, a bit like Xiangbei and a little like Guibei, it's hard to tell anyway."

Nie Feng pondered, "It seems that he shouldn't know about the treasure." ”

Nie Feng then asked: "Is the tragedy of the Rong family in Xiangbei also done by you or Liu Shanpao?" ”

"It's not me, and I'm sure it's not Liu Shancang."

"What do you say?"

"He has to follow a large group of people wherever we go in Shonan; Not to mention Zhang Yanming's territory in northern Xiangbei. Is he that stupid? Asking for money is not dying. ”

Liu Kui then said, "Young Master Nie, that's all I know. Do you see anything else asked? If not, you can send me on my way, right? It's been so hard for me to live like this. ”

Nie Feng was silent, picked up the jade flute and wanted to solve Liu Kui with one move.

Suddenly, Liu Kui shouted: "Little Master Nie, you wait, let me ask you a question?" May I? ”

Nie Feng said expressionlessly, "You ask, right?" ”

"Can you find this, was that kid Liu Shanpao solved by you?"

"In order to make you die happily, tell you a good rest--- Liu Shancano's Zixia Villa was bulldozed last night and no longer exists. I found this after Liu Shanpao. ”

Liu Kui laughed and said, "Little Master Nie, come on!" Thank you! Hahaha"

Nie Feng's jade flute solved Liu Kui's sinful life with a wave.

Nie Feng and Hua Wei chased all the way along the secret passage on the left, but they didn't see Liu Shanpao and the others; The bloodstains also disappeared at the entrance of the cave.

When they came out of the cave, Hua Wei looked around and said, "Brother Nie, we have now come to the south of Chunzhou City. ”

Nie Feng bowed in the direction of Guangping City and said, "Grandpa, father, and mother, I have already killed the enemy who killed you. May you know everything you know, and bless me to find out the real culprit behind the scenes; Rescue the old man. ”
