Chapter 22: The Province of the King of the Masters

Liu Sitong saw that I wanted to dodge, so he took the initiative to talk to me.

"You're finally not pretending to be crazy. What I mean by that is to make me feel like I'm not that a failure.

Liu Sitong should have known that I was following him a long time ago. At this time, I actually took the initiative to show up, I don't know why. Do you want to kill me? No, he has no reason to do this, after all, I saved him. Revenge is common, but it also has to be on occasion. He didn't do me any good by killing me.

And I'm not the same fish belly I used to be, at least in my own mind. That day in the prefect's prison, I killed a man who was stronger than me in two moves, which made me more confident.

"I really don't know what you think, I've been paying attention to you since you stopped killing prisoners of war, I really thought that you could get to where you are now. ”

I don't know how much my life in the Ming Dynasty shocked or touched the people around me. After all, as a client, I don't have any feelings about my actions. I didn't have a chance to think about it and analyze it.

"What are you pretending to be crazy to stay in Jinan City for?"

"Come with me, I've taken a lot of wrong roads to get rid of you. ”

It seems that Liu Sitong is in a hurry. I also collected my thoughts, followed him, and walked forward.

Approaching the door of an inconspicuous house, he stopped. It's inconspicuous because the surrounding rows of houses are all the same. I followed Liu Si to the inside, not paying attention to the surrounding buildings at all. When I stopped, I looked up and saw that they were all the same door, the same gatehouse, the same eaves, and a wall. If you don't start from the alley to the door, you won't be able to tell which one is coming this time next time.

Liu Sitong knocked on the door, but no one answered after a while.

"Knock louder, it's raining outside. I reminded him that he was completely out of content.

Liu Sitong glanced back at me, but he really knocked a few more times, and it was a lot heavier. As a result, no one came to open the door.

I saw that Liu Sitong was starting to get nervous. His hand clasped the nose ring on the door and twisted the latch. The door opened by itself, the courtyard inside was not large, there was no backyard, the door of the main hall was open, and the portrait of Confucius could be seen hanging behind the confession inside. It's a teacher's home.

The house is not big, it doesn't take a minute to see all the corners and there is no one at all.

"Not good!"

Liu Sitong turned around and left, ignoring that I was still beside me. I could only follow him closely and run around Jinan City. He seems to be quite familiar with Jinan City, at least more than I am. However, this time he was also blind, and he ran for half an hour without finding the target.

"Who are you looking for?" I asked him when he stopped, not knowing what he was thinking.

Apparently Liu Sitong was very frustrated, he took off the hat on his head and fell to the ground as if angry. I ran away with him just now, and I didn't notice that I was soaking wet. It's really useless to wear a hat.

"Do you remember the day you knocked me out?"

I didn't expect him to remember. I will never forget the sight of those two dead children. Now that I think about it, I feel like it's all sin. At this time, I suddenly thought of the missing children in the past two days, could it be that the thought that flashed through me when I was in the prefect's yamen was true? Liu Sitong really had such a dirty purpose in staying in Jinan City?

"You really don't change your surname, I really shouldn't have saved you in the first place. It's time for Xing Wuyang to kill you. "I'm evil to the guts, and I punch him in the head as I speak.

Liu Sitong is not a fuel-efficient lamp, his head is slightly biased to dodge my fist, he grabbed my wrist with his backhand, twisted it hard, and I was almost dislocated by him. Anyway, he is also a lieutenant, how can he have no material at all. I quickly withdrew my hand, retracted my contempt, and prepared to fight him.

Unexpectedly, Liu Sitong didn't have the heart to fight me, just stood there. This made me so bored that I was already in a posture, so I put away my fists and feet and stood face to face.

"You've also heard that children have been missing in Jinan City recently. Seeing that I had stopped, Liu Sitong began to say again, "What you see when you see it is true? That's right, those children are all captured for entertainment." Look at me now, pretending to be crazy and stupid all day long, and still have the heart to do this. And I don't have that fetish. ”

"When I was in Jiyang, what happened that night?" I don't understand now, didn't he do these shameless things in the Cao family's compound that day?

"There is a general in the Southern Army named Gu Liuxian, who usually acts as a prestige and does all kinds of evil. Liu Sitong continued, "He is not a woman, but he has a pathological fetish for children, especially teenage boys." He loved to torture them until those children died in fear and crying. ”

"The child you saw that day was already dead, and when I came with the soldiers, the child was already dead. Before I could clean up, that team of yours barged in and insisted that I did it. They started a fight without saying a word, and in the end they put this basin on my head. ”

If what Liu Sitong said is true, then this is too subversive. Whether I should believe it or not, but looking at the way it is, there is no need for him to lie.

"Then you pretended to be crazy and stupid and stayed in Jinan City just to save these children?" Doesn't that make sense? He pretended to be crazy and stupid and stayed in Jinan, in case I didn't show up, wouldn't he be killed by Tie Xuan.

"I'm not here to save those kids. I'm here to save a gentleman. His name is Wang Province. ”

I know that Wang Province is also a feudal defender. He was born as a teacher, and he was originally an official in the "Shandong Provincial Education Bureau". Of course, at that time, the yamen was not called the Education Bureau. Later, he committed suicide in Jiyang.

"Didn't he die in Jiyang?"

As soon as I said that, I immediately thought that I was in trouble. Because Wang Province is not a high-profile person, at least not too many people in the Northern Army camp will know about it, and if it can't be done, Liu Sitong will know him. When I suddenly said that he committed suicide in Jiyang, didn't I betray myself?

"How do you know about Wang Province?" At this time, Liu Sitong also became nervous. Sure enough, I shouldn't have known about Wang Province.

"He was a teacher in Jinan Mansion, and he was still very famous, and Tie Xuan and he used to be both national students. A few days ago, he learned the news of his death in Jiyang, and I also heard Tie Xuan say it at the prefect's yamen. "I'm making it up. Whether or not you can fool him is all up to luck.

Fortunately, at this time, Liu Sitong was already a little anxious, so he didn't think deeply about what I said.

"That Wang Province did not die when he was in Jiyang. He was supposed to die, but I saved him. Before you came that day, I had already sent someone to send Wang Province away secretly. He was a stubborn temper and would rather die than surrender to the Northern Army. I couldn't bear to kill him at the time, and it's a pity that a good gentleman died. ”

"Then how did he get involved with that person named Gu Liuxian. ”

"Wait......" Liu Sitong interrupted my questioning, carefully discerning it in the rain.

I held my breath to hear the ugliness. But he couldn't calm down, and he couldn't hear anything. Then Liu Sitong wanted to hear something, and his face became happy. Then he turned a corner along the wall, and came to the door of a house, and was about to open the door and go in. I have been in Jinan City for a long time, and I have also seen houses with this structure. It should also be the landlord's house, although the gate is not wide, but it is also high and bright, and the little lion in front of the door is similar in size to the door pier. When you open the door, there is a long corridor, and on both sides of the corridor there are wings for long-term workers to stay, as well as regular farm tools, and of course, granaries for grain. At the end of the corridor is a screen, and when you turn left or right after seeing the screen, you can see a small courtyard. The landlord's family lives in the yard. Liu Sitong just listened to the root of the wall of this house just now.

"Did you take the dick?" Liu Sitong pulled out a knife from under his robe.

I'm really not mentally prepared for it. But I'm not the kind of stunned guy who doesn't even bring a guy when I go out. He reached out and drew the knife from his waist. The knife was still the one that Xue Ren's subordinates stabbed into my shoulder blade in the Feng Mansion. I thought the knife was pretty sharp, so I left it.

Liu Sitong listened with his ear against the door in front of him. Looking through the crack in the door, there was a not-so-thick latch closing the door. He turned around and motioned to me, meaning he slammed the door open and I rushed in.

I nodded, grabbed the knife in both hands, and began to tense.
