[Red House] That natural stay

Chapter 53

Mo Jue carefully read the confession of the man in black, and sure enough, Liang Shan was involved in it, but the person sent to Zhou Zhi's side was an aide named Shi Jin.This 'trade-in' is exactly what he presided over.

"What should I do next?" Fu Yizhi asked.

"If there is no news for such a long time, the other party will definitely have doubts, but since they sent a dead man, it means that the other party is not afraid of being discovered by us, because there is no evidence. Heh, but, I am afraid that I did not expect to leave a living and We have a way to get him to confess, so" Mo Jue analyzed slowly, "Shi Jin and Zhou Zhi will not escape either."

"Then we are now..." Xia Rong looked at him, already guessing in his heart.

"That's right! Catch them off guard and arrest them overnight. As long as they fall into our hands..."

"Okay!" Xia Rong stood up abruptly, "In this case, let's go now!"

----

Zhou Zhi and Shi Jin waited anxiously in the county magistrate's mansion to kill an ordinary citizen. If everything went well, they should have returned long ago.If it doesn't go well, and more than one person goes, it should be settled.But it has been so long, several hours have passed, but not even a single messenger has been seen.It's so difficult... No, it's impossible, they don't want to think about it.

"My lord, my lord..." A servant hurried in.

"What? What happened?" Zhou Zhi asked with a frown, in an extremely bad mood.

"Outside, people outside have surrounded our house!"

"what?!"

As soon as Zhou Zhi finished speaking, a group of people broke through the courtyard door and broke in. The bright torches swayed so that people squinted their eyes involuntarily.

"Who are you? How dare you trespass on the county magistrate's mansion!" Zhou Zhi stepped forward and shouted, but he couldn't see the face of the visitor clearly.

"Follow the emperor's order to capture the traitor! Hurry up and do it to me!" The soldiers leading the team didn't want to explain too much, and it was the last word to do it directly.

"You, you..." Zhou Zhi still wanted to talk nonsense, but Shi Jin had already retreated to the back hall extremely quickly and planned to leave through the back door.As the saying goes, if the green hills are left, you are not afraid of being burned.

But he didn't want to, just when he arrived at the door, he was caught by the waiter.

In this way, a "big mouse" and a "little mouse" were successfully caught.

He brought the two of them back to where Mo Jue and the others were, tied them together and threw them into the place where the man in black was locked up.The 'adult' who used to be so powerful in the past was in a state of embarrassment at this time, and the two of them were beaten unconscious.Just like that, he fell on the cold ground.The man in black looked at him coldly, but he didn't respond at all. His martial arts had already been crippled by Mo Jue.

----

"My lord, the criminal has been arrested and brought to justice." As soon as he was caught, he was the first to report back.

"Very good, everyone has worked hard. When I return to Beijing another day, my king will treat you with wine!"

"Thank you, my lord." The visitor was flattered and went down happily.

"Next, it's still 'new for old'."

----

"What did you say? The Fourth Prince made Zhou Zhi?" In the solemn and spacious study, Liang Shan lost his voice.

"Yes!"

"How come... what is the charge?" muttered, then raised his head and asked again.

"On the second day after Zhou Zhi was arrested, the charges announced were corruption, perverting the law, using power to oppress the people, and robbing the women of the people. And the evidence is convincing, so he was sent to prison and punished after hearing it." The boy told the news from there Come together.

"No more? That's all?" Liang Shan, who kept walking back and forth, stopped and asked again with a frown.

"Yes!"

Liang Shan felt that this matter was full of weirdness, so Zhou Zhi didn't confess anything about him?

"All these news came from Shi Jin?"

"Yes, my lord."

"Then where is he now?"

"I have found a hidden place to hide and wait for the opportunity. Min County is now heavily guarded, and it is temporarily impossible to return to Qingcheng."

"Okay, you go down first! Continue to pay attention to the news from over there." He has great trust in Shi Jin, so there is no doubt that the other party can escape the fourth prince's pursuit.

"Yes!" Turn and leave.

Liang Shan sat alone in the study for a long while. According to the news, the Fourth Prince did not notice the problem with the rice.That's right, the moldy rice has been burned, but the murderer has not been found out so far, and now it seems that the pursuit of the murderer has to be pushed back.However, now it seems that there is nothing particularly unfavorable to him. As for Zhou Zhi, he only believes that the dead can keep secrets.

----

"Is it almost done?" Xia Rong walked out of the house and stood behind Mo Jue in the yard.

"En." Watching the carrier pigeons in the air gradually disappearing into the distance, Mo Jue responded softly.In order not to arouse Liang Shan's vigilance, they decided to pretend to be Shi Jin and continue to keep in touch with Qingcheng, so as to keep an eye on the movements there.

Zhou Zhi and Shi Jin were tried separately, and the effects of the two sides were completely different. After a little scare, Zhou Zhi explained everything he had done in these years, and even Liang Shan was sold out.He also pointed out that "exchanging moldy rice for new rice" was also ordered by Liang Shan to do so, and the embossed paintings on the confession did not hesitate.He also said that if the crime could be mitigated without beheading, he would still be willing to be a witness and testify against Liang Shan on the spot for all crimes.

This made Mo Jue sigh. Sure enough, no matter who it is, as long as it endangers its own interests or life, everything can be left behind.Of course, maybe it's because he hasn't met anyone who can ignore himself for others.

As for Shi Jin, his mouth was much stiffer, but it wasn't long before Mo Jue took the lead.Of course, they couldn't believe all of his confessions, and Mo Jue and the others took a half-belief and half-doubt attitude.After all, Shi Jin is no more thoughtful as an aide than Zhou Zhi. Who can guarantee that what he says is all the truth?

The matter in Min County came to an end.Mo Jue used the jade pendant that represented his identity that Xia Tian gave him to contact the bureaucrats hidden in the small place of Min County. It didn't take long for Min County to have a new county magistrate.Of course, this person is naturally a gangster.

Xia Rong didn't have any complaints about his 'elbow' turning outward, as if he didn't see his jade pendant.Of course, it was not without any surprise. When he first saw the jade pendant, a strange color flashed in his eyes quickly.It's just that Mo Jue didn't notice at that time.This jade pendant is exclusive to the children of the royal family. Every prince wears it from the moment he is born. It means more than a status symbol to them.The characters 'Ji' are engraved in the middle of the jade pendant in summer, and the character 'Rong' is engraved in the middle of his jade pendant.

Therefore, when he saw this jade pendant for the first time, he understood Mo Jue's position in Xia Tian's heart.This made him a little surprised, and it seemed a little natural and... uncomfortable?

However, that strange emotion was quickly suppressed by him.

The newly appointed magistrate of Min County opened the city gate, welcomed the people from outside the city in, rebuilt shelters, and distributed warm quilts.He also called on the landlords or rich people in the city to donate some food to help the people. After observing for a few days and confirming that the other party was indeed a good official for the country and the people, Mo Jue and his party left.

Of course, the materials that should be left behind are still left behind.

After that, they continued to go to Qingcheng, Mo Jue and the two did not continue to change clothes, because in the following journey, every time they passed a town, there would be countless pairs of eyes staring at them.If any flaws are revealed, it will cause unnecessary trouble.

A few days later, they arrived outside Qingcheng Gate smoothly.Before he got close, he saw Liang Shan leading a group of people guarding outside from a distance.When he got close, the other party stepped forward to salute with a smile on his face.

"Your Majesty Liang, let's talk about it later in the city!" Xia Rong nodded lightly.

"Yes!" Liang Shan's attitude was neither humble nor overbearing.

Mo Jue observed everything outside the city, and sent spies to investigate long ago.The gates of Qingcheng were not closed, and at the very beginning, the fleeing people could enter the city.When the number of people gradually increased, they began to take root outside the city, and the inside and outside of the city became one.The food they ate was always porridge from the government or wealthy businessmen, and there was no case of moldy rice poisoning.

As far as he could see, the cabin was in order.Although the faces of the people did not have bright smiles, they did not have the despairing expressions of the people of Min County, as if... numb?Acknowledgment of the life in front of you.There is no better pursuit, and it is certain that there will be no worse situation.

After entering the city, the area near the city gate is similar to the outside of the city, and it is also a display of wooden houses.Inside, it is the place where the people in the city live, and it is no different from ordinary towns.It's just that few people come out.

When they arrived at the governor's office, they got off their horses and went in, and then Xia Rong sat at the head.Mo Jue and Fu Yizhi stood behind him.Liang Shan sat down first, followed by other officials, large and small.

After drinking the tea served in his mouth, Xia Rong opened his mouth to break the somewhat dull atmosphere.

"Lord Liang, you must be very clear about the purpose of this king's visit, right?" His sharp eyes shot straight at him.The chilling aura brought from the battlefield made Liang Shan subconsciously suffocate his breath, but then he worked hard to recover immediately.

"Don't dare to forget the holy will at all times." He stood up quickly.

"What happened to Zhou Zhi?" Xia Rong snorted softly, seeming to be angry.

"My lord, calm down!" He knelt down with a snap. "This official just found out about this, Zhou Zhi is indeed the wife and younger brother of this minister, but I really don't know what he did! I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it..." Finally, Liang Shan knelt on the ground He kowtowed vigorously.

"My lord, Mr. Liang really didn't know. The lower officials can testify." Suddenly a person stood up.

"My lord, Mr. Liang is a good official for the country and the people!"

"My lord..."

Immediately afterwards, everyone pleaded for Liang Shan.

Looking at all this, Xia Rong's eyes gradually darkened. Is this the crime that forced him to be unable to cure Liangshan?Just as he was about to attack, suddenly a hand was placed on his shoulder.

Mo Jue shook his head slightly at him from behind, signaling him not to be impulsive at this time.Xia Rongcai tried hard to calm down the anger in his heart.

"My lords, please hurry up, what is this doing? I just heard about the relationship between Lord Liang and Zhou Zhi, so I just asked a random question." Xia Rong pretended to be puzzled.

The people below looked at each other quietly and quietly breathed a sigh of relief.Xia Rong didn't notice that Xia Rong's eyes were getting colder and colder.
