Chapter 3 The villain
Nie Zhongyou scanned the cell for a while, then closed his eyes, as if he had returned to the situation when Li Xia killed someone...

Through the thick wooden fence, Pang Tian leaned on Lu Bingxiong's neck to drink blood. His lips were split, and his eyes were full of satisfaction, which showed that he was really thirsty. After all, he was only given a glass of water a day in prison, so he drank He was very serious, and did not think that Lu Bingxiong's blood was fishy and smelly.

His limbs were shackled and he could not move freely.

From this point of view, it was easy for Li Xia to kill him.

wrong.

Lu Bingxiong's body blocked most of Pang Tian's body, as well as the fence. The angle of the bone knife piercing was very tricky, fast, accurate, and ruthless.

There was only one fatal wound, and Li Xia only stabbed it once.

And Lu Bingxiong had two wounds, which means that Li Xia made an extra cut.

In other words, Li Xia panicked when he killed Lu Bingxiong, but when he killed Pang Tian, ​​he was already confident that he could kill with one blow.

It's a bad habit not to make up for it after killing someone.

But the satisfaction in Pang Tian's eyes showed that he died very simply, and died before he could react.

Li Xia has this strength.

Also, at that time, the surrounding jailers had already rushed in, pointing at Li Xia and yelling. It would be good for ordinary teenagers not to cry under the yelling and cursing of these vicious jailers, but he dared to kill in front of them...

After reviewing all the details, Nie Zhongyou opened his eyes.

"I thought that the reason why you killed Pang Tian was because you didn't feel angry that I wanted to let him go when he was full of evil."

Li Xia said: "You are not going to let him go, but to let him do things. This is fair, I am not angry, this is the opportunity I want."

"Yes, I want him to do a very important thing, more important than the eleven people he cooked."

Nie Zhongyou said, looking at Pang Tianlu's body, his expression seemed to be a little regretful, and he said: "I was thinking on the way here, if you killed him for justice and missed my big business, I will smash your body to pieces. part."

"You hate procedural justice?" Li Xia said, "Or, do you hate things that are conventional and grandiose?"

Nie Zhongyou chewed on the words "procedural justice" and knew that Li Xia was deliberately saying some brilliant words to show his ability.

But Nie Zhongyou thought about it, and said seriously: "You are wrong, I hate civil servants. Except for a few people, I hate most civil servants."

After hearing this, Li Xia breathed a sigh of relief.

Looking at Nie Zhongyou's clothes, he is obviously not too high-ranking, which makes people worry whether he really has the power to pardon a death row prisoner.But now that he can say such a thing, it shows that he has a lot of power.

Li Xia judged that Nie Zhongyou had a backer, and he might be one of the "few people".

"What do you think I want Pang Tian to do?" Nie Zhongyou asked again.

"You also paid attention to Lu Bingxiong yesterday, and thought he was too thin. I guess you are looking for a ruthless killer." Li Xia said, "I can be this killer."

He was not a killer in his previous life. Fencing is just a sport, not for killing people.

But after crossing over, what he saw was that "self" was dead, but Pang Tian had a chance to live.Knowing that the more evil people are here, the more likely they are to survive.

On the other hand, he has a "sense of separation", which allows him not to treat the people here as real people, so he can kill them without any scruples.

Later, the self-protection mechanism in his heart told him "just treat this world as a real game", which minimized his negative emotions after the murder.

So, at this time, Nie Zhong looked at Li Xia and saw Li Xia as a villain.

However, Nie Zhongyou shook his head and said, "You guessed wrong, I didn't seek Pang Tian to be the killer. I sought him out because of his status as a survivor of the Kingdom of Jin, and because he still has connections in the old land of the Kingdom of Jin. Now you kill the person I want to use, and you have to die too..."

"No." Nie Zhongyou said again: "You have misunderstood me. It would be too cheap to kill you. I want you to have a terrible death."

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Li Xia to respond, he snorted coldly, "Pretending to be smart", turned around and walked out...

~~
Bai Mao huddled his short body into a ball, and seemed to have no sense of existence.

After Nie Zhongyou left, he poked his head in and whispered to Li Xia, "What should you do?"

Li Xia glanced at the jailers outside the cell, and saw that they took away the bone knife placed outside the railing, but did not open the cell door to carry the corpse.

"It's okay, I'm a death row prisoner, no matter what, the situation won't be worse." Li Xia said, "And, he will take me out."

Bai Mao was a little scared of Li Xia, muttering in his heart, "You're still talking big when you're like this", but with a concerned look on his face, he asked, "Why?"

"There are too many reasons." Li Xia said: "The first thing he did was to examine me, not to vent his anger; he was testing me, investigating me, and trying to suppress my arrogance; he is a person who does practical things."

"That's... great."

Bai Mao also hoped that Li Xia would go out early, because he didn't want to sit in the same cell with him anymore.

Before, although Lu Bingxiong was a murderer, he was easy to get along with, and he didn't want to do anything to him, Bai Mao, but this Li Xia really killed people without blinking an eye, a villain among villains.

"White-haired rat, you don't want to go with me, do you?" Li Xia asked.

Bai Mao took a few steps back subconsciously, and said, "I won't leave... I stole things, I deserve to spend a few more years in prison, and I should be punished more by "Song Xing Tong."

Li Xia didn't force it either.

He could tell that Bai Mao had some relationship with prison head Liu, and that he was able to squat in the death row because it was spacious.

But he didn't say anything about it.

The thief Bai Mao rolled his eyes, looking for something to say, "I think it's definitely not a good thing to go out with that person on business. If it was a good thing, why would he choose someone from the death row? I was living a good life. Yes, maybe you will die if you go out, right? But then again, you are different from me, you are dead anyway... er, someone with great ability..."

~~
Nie Zhongyou took a big bite of the cooking cake, and he didn't care if the crumbs got on his clothes.

He was still standing outside the county office, eating breakfast and waiting for news.

He wanted to scare Li Xia and see his courage.

He, Nie Zhongyou, has the courage of Jing Ke to assassinate the King of Qin in his work, but he doesn't know how to imitate Jing Ke and lead Qin Wuyang, who is cold-blooded.

Not long after, a jailer came over and handed him the bone knife, and made a soft report.

Nie Zhongyou nodded, and put the bone knife into his arms.

After a long time, a young man hurried over and said, "I've found out..."

This person's name is "Linzi", and he is usually joking and laughing. For example, he often jokes about his name and says, "When the forest is big, there are all kinds of birds. There are no objects next to me, but there are many birds."

But he was very reliable in his work, and Nie Zhongyou had already figured out what he wanted to inquire about during the time he had eaten breakfast.

Lin Zidao: "Li Xia is sixteen years old. His father, Li Yong, whose name is Shouyuan, was once the director of Yuhang County. He was dismissed for a crime four years ago. Li Xia's mother, Yang Shi, also passed away four years ago, and Li Yong did not reincarnate. , took a concubine named Liu, and had no other relatives in the family...

According to the neighbors, the Li family and his son usually live in seclusion and do not interact with others.

The day before yesterday, in Jianjia Tower, Li Xia was jealous of Sun Tianji, the fourth son of Sun Yingzhi, the Shaoqing of Taichang Temple. During the dispute, Li Xia beat Sun Tianji to death, so he was imprisoned and sentenced to hang. "

Nie Zhongyou said: "Then this is a 'fight to kill' rather than a 'deliberate killing'. In a brawl, he accidentally killed someone out of anger. Why was he sentenced to death?"

Lin Zidao: "Perhaps the Sun's family is powerful, and the sentence was murder. The Secretary of Prison and the Ministry of Punishment immediately reviewed the conviction and sent Li Xia directly to death row."

"Oh, it can be described as extremely fast."

Nie Zhongyou bit the pancake, and took out a bloody bone knife from his bosom, and handed it over.

"How did you say this knife came from?"

Lin Zi said: "Lv Bingxiong spent time in prison? He's free anyway."

Nie Zhongyou said: "This is not a pig's bone. The pig's bone is not so hard. It's a donkey's bone. There can't be a donkey's bone in the prison. Someone prepared this knife for Lu Bingxiong. Moreover, this person put a lot of thought into it. "

Lin Zi asked, "Is it because the Sun family is afraid that Li Yong will pay copper coins to redeem Li Xia?"

Nie Zhongyou shook his head and said, "It's not that simple... Where is Li Yong?"

"Just as I was about to talk about this, the Li family caught fire last night, and Li Yong and his concubine Mrs. Liu disappeared."

"Fire?"

Nie Zhongyou thought for a while, a sneer appeared on his stern face, and he ordered: "Go and take out the warrant, kid, I'll use it."

"Will it offend anyone?"

"I'm too lazy to care about it. But life and death are unpredictable. Whether Li Xia can come back alive or not, let those people guess slowly, guess enough."

"Ha... But, speaking of it, the judgment is not wrong. This guy is only so old, and he has already killed three people..."

~~
With a sound of "click", Lin Zi took the shackles and handcuffed Li Xia.

This is the pair of shackles that Pang Tian was originally wearing. They are nothing more than two iron chains, one for his hands and the other for his feet, restricting the range of movement.

After sacrificing this part of freedom, Li Xia gained another part of freedom.

He walked out of the cell.

The strong light made him almost unable to open his eyes, but he still squinted them, reluctant to close them.

This is Qiantang County in ancient times, and it is Hangzhou... perhaps the seat of Lin'an Prefecture, probably the Shangcheng District of Hangzhou City in later generations.

Looking around, it is full of prosperity.

The white walls of black tiles outline the charm of the south of the Yangtze River in ancient times. Through the gap between the two restaurants, you can just see the passing ships on the Qiantang River.

There are constant yelling in the streets and alleys, and there are many pedestrians, lively and busy.

In the southeast, the city of the Three Wus, Qiantang has been prosperous since ancient times.Yanliu painted bridge, wind curtain and emerald curtain, 10 households...

Before Li Xia took a closer look, Nie Zhongyou had already strode away. Lin Zi grabbed the iron chain on his hand, dragged him to follow Nie Zhongyou, and turned into an alley.

He gradually got used to the bright light outside, and looked up at the sky. The blue was so beautiful that it was shocking.

Li Xia thought to himself, this is where his private jet fell from, but in another time and space...

Nie Zhongyou's grade is definitely not high. He doesn't have any means of transportation when he goes out, and he only walks on a pair of poor feet.

After walking for about a quarter of an hour, he left the bustling streets and entered a house at the foot of Mount Wu.

The house is unremarkable and simply furnished.

Nie Zhongyou led Li Xia into one of the rooms, and Lin Zi took out the key to unlock the shackles on Li Xia's left foot, and handcuffed the chain to the iron ring on the wall.

Li Xia didn't care about this, what he cared about was that after walking this distance, he was very hungry.

So far, he has not eaten for a day.

Hunger, this feeling that I have never tasted before is much more painful than I imagined...

"I'm hungry."

Nie Zhongyou took out two pieces of cooking cakes from his bosom and handed them to him, saying: "You wait here for two days, we will set off in two days."

Li Xia ate the cooking cake, the iron chain in his hand jingled.

After chewing the food in his mouth, he picked up the water glass on the table and took another sip before saying, "Okay, tell me the details of the mission, I will try my best to complete it, and then you will let me go free."

Nie Zhongyou seemed not to hear, and said to himself, "Your father is in my hands."

Li Xia was silent for a while.

Nie Zhongyou said: "If you disobey my order, your father will die."

"It doesn't have to be like this, I'm very trustworthy." Li Xia said, "You give me my life, and I'll do one thing for you."

Nie Zhongyou seemed to be unable to understand human words, and said again: "I don't know why your father and son offended the Sun family, and I don't want to know. But you know very well in your heart that without me this time, both of you father and son will undoubtedly die."

Li Xia didn't know.

He kept the word "Sun's family" in his heart, thinking about how to deal with that father if he saw him.

On the other hand, he thinks that Nie Zhongyou may be a very capable person, but he is definitely not a good leader.

A good leader will not put manacles on him if he wants to employ people.

A good leader, even if he threatens the relatives of the other party, should be gentle and gentle, instead of bluntly saying "If you don't listen to me, I will kill your father."

Fortunately, Nie Zhongyou's straightforward personality is not entirely a bad thing.

Fortunately, Nie Zhongyou didn't intend to let Li Xia meet his father.

Fortunately, Li Xia didn't miss out because of this...

~~
Nie Zhongyou threatened him, but he was slightly surprised that Li Xia didn't ask to see Li Yong.

He added another one to Li Xia's evaluation, which is heartless and ungrateful.

But he felt that this was fine, anyway, he didn't really catch Li Yong, he just needed to frighten the kid.

Not to mention, just to avoid making excuses.

So Nie Zhongyou didn't mention anything about the Sun family anymore, so as not to miss the truth...

~~
"I will definitely repay the great kindness." Li Xia said again: "What do you want me to do?"

"You don't need to know exactly what to do." Nie Zhongyou said: "Follow me to Kaifeng, and you can do whatever I ask you to do."

"it is good."

Hearing that he was going to Kaifeng, Li Xia was thinking that this "four years of Xingchang in the Great Song Dynasty" would still fail in the Northern Song Dynasty, but Nie Zhongyou asked another question.

"Go to the enemy's territory and escape death, do you have any unfinished wishes?"
