Chapter 44: Interrogation

Mr. Shouyang's eldest disciple, Fei Wenyou, brought someone over to ask Qi Peng for help.

Usually a few people also arrive, Mr. Shouyang was assassinated, at this time they are on the way back to Beijing, not in front of the village and not in the store, there seems to be an unknown danger hidden in the dark and dreary wilderness, just such a gloomy atmosphere, Chen Mu, who was fine in the evening, suddenly disappeared out of thin air, and did not even say a word of explanation, which made several of his brothers and sisters can't help but guess if something happened again.

Fei Wenyou took the tent first, and said, "Captain Qi......"

He straightened up, only to find that the person in the tent was not Qi Peng, but Li Cao, the secretary of the General's Mansion, and there was a black-clothed young man standing next to Li Cao, so he quickly stopped and asked strangely: "Hey, Li Lushi, why are you?" ”

Li Cao's expression was very solemn: "I'm sorry, I was in a hurry during the day, so I couldn't send it to you." ”

Fei Wenyou was quite surprised, the assassination of the master made the general's mansion suffer a lot of involvement, if he was replaced, he would like to send everyone away quickly, who knows that Li Cao also deliberately chased after him to practice.

It's just that Li Cao's expression was too grim, and there was a faint aura of slaughter, which made Fei Wenyou quickly realize that his send-off was not so simple.

The lights in the tent swayed, Fei Wenyou didn't pay much attention to Wen Sheng, and hurriedly talked to Li Cao about business: "The record came just in time, Senior Brother Chen Muchen is gone, and the others are not in the tent. ”

Li Cao looked at Fei Wenyou, and then looked at the people he brought one by one, his eyes were sharp like a blade, Fei Wenyou had not had much contact with him this month, and it was the first time he had seen him show such an aggressive expression, as if he was weighing whether there was a black sheep hidden in his people.

The other people who came with Fei Wenyou looked at each other and felt that something was wrong.

Only then did Li Cao speak: "This is the urgent official business I just said. Ladies and gentlemen, let me introduce you to a person first. He turned sideways and gestured to Wen Sheng, "This person surnamed Gu is a close friend of Bai Dian Shi Gongzi, and it was she who brought a painting to this record today, so that I didn't have time to see you off." ”

Wen Sheng gave a deep salute to Fei Wenyou and others because of his introduction.

Li Cao continued: "This painting is in my hands now, and it is related to the truth about the murder of Mr. Shouyang and Bai Gongzi, since you are here, please take a look together." ”

He opened the scroll and spread it on the table, the lights were flickering, and Fei Wenyou and the others clearly saw Chen Mu on the painting.

Li Cao pointed to the man in white who was standing with him: "This person is the real murderer previously determined by the county government, Dongyi killer Shang Qi." ”

There was a gasping sound around the table, and several of Chen Mu's brothers understood what Li Cao meant, and immediately exchanged heads and ears.

Fei Wenyou's face was not good-looking, and he said, "This painting ...... Was it painted by Bai Linyuan? ”

Li Cao nodded: "Exactly." He told him how Bai Linyuan painted in Guiyan Tower every day, and how he and Bai Shiyuan took Bai Linyuan's painting to ask Chen Mu for guidance, and Chen Mu was afraid that the matter of meeting with Shang Qi would be exposed, so he killed people and killed people.

The whole thing is interlocking, Fei Wenyou can't say anything, junior brother Chen Mu usually looks good with everyone, and in detail, he really doesn't have a special relationship with any senior brother, so he has more contact with him, the senior brother, but even he doesn't know what Chen Mu is usually busy with.

It's just that the timing of this painting is too coincidental.

He turned to Wen Sheng and frowned, "Since this painting is in your hands, why didn't you take it out earlier?" ”

Wen Sheng only looked at Fei Wenyou's appearance and knew that his doubts had not disappeared, Fei Wenyou was not like Chen Mu himself who was a thief and was familiar with Bai Linyuan's painting style, suspicion was inevitable, it was very simple to dispel his suspicions, although this excuse Wen Sheng usually had a lot of disdain, but for the sake of the overall situation, why not take it out and use it, she replied: "Mr. Fei, please forgive me for being informed, I didn't know that this painting was so important before." ”

She didn't deliberately lower her voice at the moment, this opening was soft and crisp, and anyone who listened to it realized that it was a woman.

Fei Wenyou was taken aback, and almost raised his hand to rub his eyes, but at the same time, he naturally thought of a reason for the other party, the girl's family encountered this kind of thing, even if he knew that it was powerful, he would inevitably hesitate, after all, these two young people belonged to private teaching, and spreading it would greatly damage their reputation.

Thinking of this, he no longer asked why this painting appeared so late, and asked Li Caodao: "Li Lushi, so Chen Mu was arrested by you?" Did he confess to colluding with the Dongyi people? Can there be a confession? ”

At this time, Li Cao did not deny it: "Yes, Chen Mushi was shocked when he saw this painting, and his heart was full of flaws, Captain Qi brought someone to interrogate him, and his confession was only a matter of time." ”

Fei Wenyou hesitated when he heard this, looked back at a few senior brothers, and said, "That's it, Jin Feng and Zhang Kui stay with me to have a look, and the others go back and wait, it's time to eat, Chen Mu's don't make a noise in advance." ”

After he had finished arranging, he discussed Li Cao again: "Li Lushi, this matter is related to the death of my master and the reputation of Xuanyin Pavilion, please take us to see his trial with your own eyes." ”

Li Cao agreed, and at the same time said: "You can only listen to it secretly, otherwise when that spy sees you, I am afraid that I will quibble and deny it again." ”

He led Fei Wenyou and others out of the account, and his own soldiers rushed to send a letter to Qi Peng first, and arranged by the way.

In order to avoid being disturbed, and for fear of attracting the attention of those who care, Qi Peng arrested Chen Mu in a tent on the edge of the camp, which originally lived in a groom, and he had to take care of the horses at night, and no one would be suspicious when the lights were on.

Knowing that Fei Wenyou was coming, Qi Peng cheered up even more.

Although Han Lao Guoshi is highly respected, the musicians under his door are proud of their noble birth, and their eyes are above the top, even the dead Mr. Shouyang does not look down on the generals, and now these people are being caught in the shortcomings, Qi Peng is holding back and wants to let them know that when Sven sweeps the floor, the so-called musicians are nothing more than Erer.

Before Li Cao brought people over, Qi Peng and his subordinates severely punished Chen Mu several times, so that they were all military poisoning methods, Chen Mu was just a weak scholar, and he couldn't survive several times, he thought that he was drawn by Bai Linyuan and that it was impossible to escape death, in order to avoid suffering from flesh and skin, he would respond to whatever these arrogant officers said, and he would not refute it.

Li Cao and Fei Wenyou quietly went outside the tent, and listened to Qi Peng scolding inside: "Dog spy, tell me quickly, where is the mad dog merchant now, and how can he contact you?" ”

(I can't eat the renewal ticket, I'm sorry~)
