Chapter 8: The Masked Man in Black

Night.

The streets of Luzhou City, where there is a curfew, are very quiet, but the prison is very lively.

Li Yang, Bao Zheng, Gongsun Ce, Shen Liang, Xiao Ai, the five people who had only gathered in the Spring Breeze Full Moon Building during the day met again in this prison at night.

"You're actually a big thief who made a splash six years ago?" Even though he had already learned the whole process from the Eight Sages King, Bao Zheng still couldn't believe it.

Because no matter how you look at Li Yang, he doesn't look like a thief.

Li Yang actually nodded, "When I heard about this, I couldn't believe it as much as you." ”

"Hate, we've all been lied to by you." Gongsun Ce slapped the cell door hard.

He thought he was smart, but he didn't expect that Li Yang would be a thief who had been on the run for six years, and he didn't use any means, not even disguise, so he swaggered in front of him, but he didn't notice it at all.

This made Gongsun Ce extremely angry, feeling that he had been tricked.

Li Yang shrugged, "Believe me, I just found out about this." ”

Of course, Gongsun Ce didn't believe it, and said angrily: "So far, what tricks do you want to play?" ”

What else can you say to someone who is angry?

Speechless.

Li Yang turned his head indifferently and stopped looking at Gongsun Ce.

"Brother Li, so far, I don't want to accuse you of anything, I just want you to tell me everything you know about this case." Bao Zheng said in a heavy tone.

Li Yang nodded, "Just say this to you, Brother Li, I will tell you, but before that, I want to be alone with Xiao Ai for a while." ”

"You still dare to put forward conditions?" Shen Liang shouted.

Li Yang glanced at him.

At this glance, it seemed to see through everything about him, and he was speechless.

This man must know something!

Shen Liang's heart trembled, and he subconsciously avoided Li Yang's eyes.

"Okay, we'll wait for you outside the prison." In order to investigate the case, Bao Zheng agreed and took people out of the cell.

Only Xiao Ai was left at the prison door.

Her eyes were red, and she had apparently been crying for so long that she could no longer shed tears.

From the first day she met Li Yang, she thought she had met a good person, but she didn't expect to be a fugitive, but she still felt that Li Yang was a good person in her heart.

Looking at Xiao Ai, Li Yang hesitated for a moment, and dispelled all the comforting words he wanted to say.

He actually laughed.

Because at this time, a warm smile is far more effective than countless words of comfort.

He stretched his hand out of the bars of the cell door and reached for Xiao Ai, and the black iron chain tied to his hand made a loud sound.

Xiao Ai subconsciously took a step back, but immediately stepped forward again and held his hand.

When she let go again, she found that there were two more large ingots in her hand.

It adds up to a hundred taels.

"Don't care what other people say, what wolf girl, ominous people, that's all ignorant prejudice, just think it's farting, if you really can't let go, just start over in another place, rest assured, the money is clean, be careful when you spend it, don't be targeted by bad people......"

"I ......" Xiao Ai looked down at the silver in his hand, his hands trembled, as if he was holding not a hundred taels of silver, but a heavy affection.

How many people can't make so much money in their lifetime, and a person who has only known him for less than half a month has already been in prison, and he is still thinking about himself.

"Hide the money, don't let people see it, live happily, go and call Bao Zheng."

Xiao Ai didn't know how she walked out, she lowered her head and hugged her chest with both hands, and the two pieces of silver were hidden in the clothes under her chest, holding the two pieces of silver as if she was holding Li Yang.

She didn't know what to do in the future.

So she decided to listen to Li Yang's words, leave Luzhou, and start over in another place, where no one would say that she was an ominous person, no one would know that she was a wolf girl, and no one would know what her future life would be like.

But one thing is certain, with a hundred taels of silver, she will no longer have to empty the toilet for others.

Inside the prison.

"I killed the ...... of the Seventh Prince," Li Yang told Bao Zheng about the process and reason for killing the Seventh Prince.

Thieves, assassins!

Bao Zheng was stunned for a while before accepting Li Yang's dual identity, and then asked, "General Park was killed"

Before he finished speaking, Li Yang waved his hand and said, "I don't know about the death of General Park and Prince Goryeo. ”

"I really don't know?" Bao Zheng wondered.

"I don't know."

Of course Li Yang knew, but he didn't tell him until Bao Zheng left.

No one believed the reason.

Yesterday he heard with his own ears that the Eight Sages King said that he would be handed over to Kaifeng Mansion Yin when he returned to Beijing.

When will the Eight Wise Kings return to Beijing?

He is here to investigate the murder of the Goryeo mission, and if the case is solved, he will naturally return to Beijing, if the case is solved today, such a big matter, the King of Eight Sages must be in a hurry to return to Beijing to report to the emperor.

Li Yang didn't know how far the capital was from Luzhou, but since he could rush from the capital to Luzhou in three days, the Eight Sages King would naturally be able to.

Three days, too short!

At least seven days.

Because there were still seven days left before the 20-day deadline, he didn't want to be escorted back to the capital and executed within these seven days.

On the contrary, if the case is not solved, the Eight Sages King will be stranded in Luzhou, and he will also stay in this prison.

As for whether the case will be solved in seven days, it is not his problem, and now he has only one question to think about.

How do you kill yourself after 7 days?

What a painful problem.

He didn't even think about it before, but now, he really has to think about it seriously.

Li Yang looked around the cell, looking for a suitable tool for suicide.

Although the cell was rudimentary, he managed to find three suicide props.

Cell roof - hanging.

Cell walls – against walls.

The last one was the toilet, Li Yang only glanced at it and denied it.

"Useless stuff." Suddenly, a voice rang out at the door of the cell.

Li Yang looked up.

I don't know what time it was, but there was a masked man in black who was standing.

Master!

Li Yang's heart was shocked.

This person was able to sneak into the depths of the cell silently, even he was an afterthought, it can be seen that his martial arts are still above himself, such skills, even if they are placed in the entire rivers and lakes, they are among the best, but now they appear in this small Luzhou City, and this black-clothed and masked outfit, as well as the tone of voice just now, don't look like they came to save me......

Li Yang came to conclusions in his heart.

"What? Knowing that he was going to die, he couldn't even speak. The black-clothed masked man said in a deep voice.

Li Yang remained silent, lowered his head, and looked like he was waiting for death with his eyes closed.

The black-clothed masked man snorted, and then turned to the topic, "I sponsored you at the beginning, and the Taishi also specially issued a customs clearance document for you to facilitate your actions, but I didn't expect that as soon as you arrived in Luzhou, there was no news, and you didn't act according to the plan at all, did you forget, if it wasn't for the Taishi, you could have escaped from the capital?" ”

Taishi?

Who?

Li Yang instantly thought of Master Pang, and replied: "Of course I haven't forgotten." ”

"Then when you arrived in Luzhou, why didn't you send a message to reply? If I hadn't found you today, wouldn't you have ruined the great affairs of the Grand Master? The masked man in black asked.

I don't know.

But he has already connected the front and back and summed up a thread.

This body, once a thief in the capital, was favored by Pang Taishi when he fled, so he was able to escape from the capital, and met the black-clothed masked man in front of him, in this plan, the black-clothed masked man recommended himself to Pang Taishi, and he became one of them, but after arriving in Luzhou, he lost his voice, obviously, at this time, this body has been cut off by the system, and then he occupies his body and enters Luzhou City.

With these in mind, it's not difficult to make it up.

Li Yang said loudly: "I don't want to be interrogated to the Taishi, but I was accidentally involved in the assassination of the Prince of Goryeo, and was brought into the prefect's yamen for questioning, since then, don't look at me as if I am living a very leisurely life, in fact, Bao Zheng and others want to ask me at every turn, then I knew that they have been eyeing me, for the sake of safety, I didn't dare to interrogate the Taishi, I originally wanted to wait for them to no longer suspect me before arraigning the Taishi, but I didn't want to kill a Eight Sages King halfway, alas, I also have suffering!" ”

After listening to Li Yang's words, the black-clothed masked man felt that he might have offended any immortal in the sky, and his luck could be carried to such a point.

"It's useless to say more, you have been exposed, in order to avoid involving the Taishi, there is only one death, for the sake of you and I have known each other for many years, I can give you a good time."

Sure enough, they came to kill me!

Seeing that the black-clothed masked man was about to make a move, Li Yang immediately said, "Wait." ”

The black-clothed masked man frowned, "What other last words?" Say it. ”

Li Yang actually took the initiative to get to the prison door, as if he didn't see that the black-clothed masked man had already pulled out half of the sword in his hand, grabbed the prison door with both hands, and said excitedly: "I still dare not forget the great kindness of the Taishi back then, but unfortunately I didn't complete the task this time, I am ashamed of the Taishi, I am going to die anyway, it is better to make my death more valuable." ”

"What do you mean?" The black-clad masked man drew his sword and paused.

"Let me bite the Eight Sages King back before I die." Li Yang's tone was still full of revenge.

"Oh? How to bite? The masked man in black asked with interest.

The Eight Sages King is Pang Taishi's sworn enemy, and if he can bite the Eight Sages King to death, he is of course interested.

Li Yang said: "Let's just say that I am the person of the Eight Sages King, the reason why I was able to escape from the capital and leave the Song Realm back then was that the Eight Sages King secretly helped, and this time it was also the Eight Sages King who asked me to come and deliberately sabotage the peace between Goryeo and the Great Song Dynasty, resulting in the breakdown of relations between the two countries and the war against each other." ”

The black-clothed masked man shook his head, "Who would believe it without evidence?" ”

"Of course there is evidence."

Li Yang smiled sinisterly, "As long as you take it from the Eight Sages King, no, you don't need the Eight Sage Kings, get a token belonging to the Eight Sages Kings from his personal guards, and give it to me, and I will naturally become the person of the Eight Sages Kings." ”

"This doesn't make sense, since you are his person, how can he arrest you?" The black-clad masked asked.

"I'm your man, aren't you going to kill me now?" Li Yang said.

"What do you mean?" The masked man in black seemed to understand.

Li Yang nodded, "That's right, let's just say that the Eight Sages King saw that I was being targeted by the local government, and was afraid that my matter would be exposed, implicating him, deliberately grabbing me, and wanting to kill me in prison." ”

"Don't forget, you've signed the pledge, and the Eight Sages have your confession." The black mask is humane.

"What's so hard about that? I have made some wounds on my body, and I can say that the Eight Sages have made a move. Li Yang said.

The black-clothed masked man hesitated for a moment, "You don't want to take the opportunity to escape, do you?" ”

Li Yang asked rhetorically, "How can the dead escape?" ”

"You mean?" The masked man in black was a little unsure of what he meant.

"When you get the token of the Eight Sages and hand it over to me, kill me, at that time I have already mutilated myself, and will leave blood on the inside of the prison clothes, writing that I am the person of the Eight Sages King, the whole process of the Eight Sages King's murder and killing, and torture into a move, when I die, there will be a blood book and the token of the Eight Sages King, the evidence is ironclad, even if the Eight Sages King jumps into the Yellow River, he can't wash it away." Li Yang said hatefully.

The black-clothed masked man suddenly smiled, "I see that you don't want to repay the favor of the Taishi, but want to repay the revenge of the Eight Sages King,"

"Revenge must be avenged, and grace must be avenged." Li Yang did not deny it, nor did he admit it.

The black-clothed masked man frowned and thought for a moment, "If this plan can be done, it should really be a clever plan, but this matter is very important, and I still need to ask the Taishi, so I will go and ask the Taishi first, and then come back tomorrow night." ”

Li Yang suddenly said: "Is one day enough?" Could it be that the Taishi has come to Luzhou? ”

The black-clothed masked man nodded, and then looked Li Yang up and down again, as if he only knew him today, "I didn't see that you still have such a quick wit to come up with such a poisonous plan." ”

Li Yang said sadly: "In the face of death, people can always stimulate some potential, I only hope that my death can repay the great kindness of the Taishi." ”

Those who are dying have not forgotten to repay their kindness!

The black-clothed masked man was silent for a moment, and his tone couldn't help but carry a hint of admiration, "After you die, I will erect a monument for you." ”

"Thank you." Li Yang said seriously.

The black-clothed masked man nodded, made a rare fist, and quietly left the cell again.

As soon as he left, Li Yang's expression of begging for death disappeared in an instant.
