Chapter 46: Difficulty sleeping
It's hard to sleep, but in the middle of the night, the sounds gradually become quieter, and there is no light outside.
I was a little sleepy looking at the book, so Mo Yu gradually fell asleep.
In the south in spring and summer, you don't need to cover too many things, and if you cover too many things, you will get up because of the heat, so you basically sleep naked.
Mo Yu occasionally covers a thin point on his stomach, after all, it is enough to make a stomach.
According to the daily habit, I get up at this time, and I can eat breakfast when I get up at this time.
Every day when he was in the City Lord's Mansion, there was an early arrangement, so Mo Yu didn't need to go to the street alone to buy it, which could save a lot of time.
And every day when Jiang Liang goes, it is very early, so he can eat ready-made food every day, which is also a place where Mo Yu is happier.
Then there are still a lot of things to do today, so I talked about it a little early, and then quickly sorted myself out and went to the City Lord's Mansion.
Before leaving, I took a special look at the weapon I was wearing, but this weapon was still at home, and I was reluctant to use it, after all, it had been passed many times.
Although I heard that it was particularly strong, Mo Yu was also afraid of using it, so even if he needed to carry a weapon with him, he wrote an ordinary sword.
Then he walked briskly towards the City Lord's Mansion.
Because I came early today, I happened to see Jiang Liang just put breakfast on the table, and when he saw Mo Yu coming, he said to Mo Yu: "The city lord came quite early today, and it just so happens that the soldiers have already brought breakfast, so I'll go make a cup of tea first and wait for a while."
Mo Yu nodded, looked at the hot meal, and didn't know why he was really a little hungry.
didn't wait for Jiang Liang to bring the tea and hurriedly started eating, Mo Yu used to have a small habit, that is, if he didn't drink some tea first, he would feel difficult to swallow when eating.
But today suddenly there is no such situation.
When Jiang Liang brought the tea, Mo Yu had already finished eating, and took Jiang Liang's tea: "Thank you, I still have a lot of things to deal with today, so you still need to be busy with the official business here."
Jiang Liang smiled: "Where is the city lord, it's just a matter of duty, is the city lord going out after eating?"
"Well, almost, after eating, I'm going to take a look at the case the day before yesterday, I'm dizzy, I didn't sleep well yesterday, what time did you leave yesterday and didn't delay you going home, right?" Mo Yu asked casually.
"No delay, go home normally."
"Okay, okay, you can eat quickly, I'll go out first," Mo Yu took a big sip of water and sent down the food that was difficult to swallow just now, "If there is anything urgent, either go to the Law Enforcement Hall to find me, or go to the Elder's Mansion to find me, or the Lin family cloth merchant, it should be in these three places, and I shouldn't be out of the city today." ”
"yes, I see."
Then Mo Yu hurriedly set off and walked straight in the direction of the Law Enforcement Hall.
Soon came to the door of the law enforcement hall, and then walked in directly, the two soldiers next to him saluted, and asked the two soldiers at the door casually as they walked: "Is your hall master here?"
"Back to the city lord, it's in the evidence room, and I came early."
Mo Yu nodded and then walked towards the hut, saying that it was a hut that actually had a cave.
Inside is a large basement, which stores all kinds of evidence, because the basement is shady, and it is relatively easy to store some items.
At a glance, I saw that this law enforcement hall master was looking at the blackened alloy that he brought over yesterday.
The hall master of the law enforcement hall felt that someone behind him turned around and saw that it was Mo Yu, and clenched his hands into fists: "City Lord, you are here."
Mo Yu nodded, then took out 200 Yu money and handed it to the law enforcement hall master: "It's not difficult to borrow it well and borrow it again, take it first, do you find anything?"
Of course, this money is the money to buy tea yesterday, and Mo Yu took out a large amount of money from the money bank early this morning, because he has been very busy recently, so he didn't have time to withdraw the money, so he didn't have much cash on his body.
As for the embarrassing situation, of course, it has already appeared.
The law enforcement hall master didn't say much and replied to the city lord after taking the money: "This alloy has not been oppressed for a long time, originally I thought it was some special metal, elasticity and durability are relatively strong, but I asked some knowledgeable people to come and look at it several times, and the result was unanimously that this is absolutely impossible to appear on the carriage, even if it only walks for one night, it is absolutely impossible to be so smooth and without traces, so today I plan to get a carriage, Then let those who can put this alloy on the wagon and walk around and try it. ”
Mo Yu nodded: "This is also a good way, is there anything else to discover, those cloth managers who notified the Lin family's cloth merchants have not, can they have their special methods to recall."
"Back to the city lord, they had someone come over yesterday, and then they also took a look at the cloth, it was just ordinary, so they were going to urgently look through the sales records, check the buyers who sold about the same or more than the cloth, and then present the list to us one by one.
"But according to what they say, there are too many people who can buy this amount of cloth, even nearly a thousand, so it is more difficult to investigate, and the time point of these cloths is uncertain, because they will not write the time point of production on the cloth, which also leads to the need for a larger scope of investigation." The head of the law enforcement hall explained this matter in detail.
Mo Yu was still like that, his face was still unshocked: "Okay, then let's have another day today, if there is no big progress, I can only explain to Elder Duan first, when will the carriage be installed?" Mo Yu asked.
"Soon, there shouldn't be time for two sticks of incense, I thought of this method last night and have already informed them."
"There's nothing going on here, it's better for the city lord to come and sit in my hall, wait a little, I don't know if the city lord has breakfast, I still have a lot of food here, although it's not particularly good, but I still hope the city lord doesn't mind." The law enforcement hall master said politely.
This time, Mo Yu finally shook his head: "If you haven't had breakfast, go and eat it quickly, I just came from the City Lord's Mansion here, and I've already had breakfast, you go over first, I'll take a look at this evidence first."
"Okay, then the subordinates have retired first, if you need to leave in advance, you can just say to the soldiers at the door, I am in the main hall, if you need anything, you can let the soldiers pass the word." The law enforcement hall master speaks and does things quite well.
Then the Lord of the Law Enforcement Hall left the basement.
Although it is said to be a basement, it does not feel damp, but the air around it is very dry.
The storage of this evidence requires not only shade, but also dryness, and shade and dryness are not a pair of contradictory environments.
The main reason for the dryness here is that the ventilation is relatively good, and many exhaust ventilation places can be connected to the ground.
It's just to be able to make the evidence very good.
There were only Mo Yu and the two little soldiers at the door, and then Mo Yu continued to look at the evidence, the evidence had not been wiped clean, and there was a blackened mark on the surface.
Mo Yu gently rubbed it with his index finger, and soon he could see the color of the shiny metal.
The whole metal seems to be innate, without any traces of artificiality, of course, it must be artificial, but the technology is really good.
Then Mo Yu touched the cloth, and it was still a little wet, but because of the better ventilation, the surface layer was much drier, but the inside was definitely wet.
Mo Yu didn't see any more clues after looking around, so he walked out of the basement without any good way.
The master of the law enforcement hall was eating here, so Mo Yu didn't want to put too much pressure on people to make their food uncomfortable, so he casually walked around the courtyard.
I came to the stable first, it seems that this stable is really not small, except for the law enforcement hall master has such a big stable, other sugar should not be so big, because the most need for a large-scale activity is the law enforcement hall.
It doesn't matter what the others are first, after all, they are all mobile infantry, or mainly large carriages.
Therefore, the number of horses is relatively small, and the length of the stable is the same as the length of the whole yard from north to south, and it is located in the easternmost part of the yard.
It felt like there were hundreds of horses inside, and the daily fodder alone was a lot of money.
When they saw Mo Yu coming, the horses began to let out a low roar, of course, it was not a malicious roar, and it was just a normal cry when meeting people.
One or two of the soldiers were constantly pulling the small trailer and feeding the horses some small forage, one pulling the small trailer and the other constantly carrying the forage from the trailer into the pit.
After seeing Mo Yu, he also hurriedly said hello, and Mo Yu also hurriedly waved his hand, but he couldn't affect his own work.
The colors of the horses are colorful, and the best ones are of course the pure white ones, if you prefer to be a little more low-key, the crimson ones, and then the black ones.
There are also some black and red, which look more graceful and luxurious, and Mo Yu's favorite horse is the kind of crimson, low-key luxury and connotation.
Mo Yu also stroked the head of the horse when he walked over, and these horses all seemed to be quite well-behaved, and none of them resisted.
Then we followed the stables to the back of the courtyard, and at the end of the building were some dormitories, where most of the soldiers lived, and some rooms for storing forage.
At this time, Mo Yu returned the same way, and when he went back, he felt that the time was almost up, and he happened to meet this law enforcement hall master.
"The city lord's man who assembled the carriage is here, do you want to take a look?"
"Let's go, lead the way."
Then the Lord of the Law Enforcement Hall came to the relatively empty front yard, and there were a few people standing in the front yard, and then the alloys in the basement also appeared in the courtyard.
And there were also two carriages, two carriages in good condition.
However, when these people saw the law enforcement hall master coming, they began to unload the car, and some parts began to be slowly dismantled.
Of course, you need to use some special tools, and Mo Yu doesn't understand these things, but just watches them slowly install these things with some new ones.
These new ones were brought from that mountain, and although they were already very dark, they seemed to be the same when they were installed.
Because the size of the carriage parts here is basically unified, what type of carriage is basically determined with what kind of parts, and it is estimated that these parts have been seen yesterday to pull these carriages.
Then continue to load the wheels, and a carriage will be assembled in good condition, in fact, it didn't take too much time, it feels like a stick of incense.
The lord of the law enforcement hall then sent two soldiers up to drive the carriage up directly, and then told them to circle around the gate and the two main streets in front of them once or twice.
After the two soldiers got the order, the carriage they drove ran out directly from the gate, and then Mo Yu and the law enforcement hall master took a look at the dismantled parts.
One of them explained to the hall master: "Look, hall master, the parts of these two carriages are also new, but when I arrived here from where I lived, these parts had some wear and tear, although the degree of wear is almost negligible, but we can still see with the naked eye that the material of this part is basically the same as the part just now."
Then this person took out one of the parts that had been removed, and Mo Yu saw it at once, and he immediately saw that it was the same as a certain part from yesterday.
But when you see this part, especially the joint, you can see some slight wear and tear at a glance, which is obviously different from the smooth material around, but it is really negligible.
Mo Yu and the law enforcement hall master showed an idea in their hearts, they just wanted to hide people's eyes, but it seemed that this method was a bit stupid, and it felt like it could be seen in a day or two.
Is this another ploy? Do they want to do it? But the unreasonable point is, what kind of thing are they trying to hide?
Do you still want Mu Moyu to have a relatively big deviation in their investigation?
Mo Yu really can't figure this out.
When the wagon returned, the men were busy again, spending less time putting the original parts back on and putting all the evidence down.
The law enforcement hall master took one out casually, and it could be seen that it was also worn out like the parts just now.
In other words, this alloy was never placed on a carriage for a large-scale walk, not even a small walk.
Mo Yu really couldn't figure out what it was for spending so much effort to burn a few irrelevant carriages there?
However, here Mo Yu suddenly thought of a possibility, and then said to the law enforcement hall master: "Did you say that the carriage was already placed there, and then those people did not enter the mountain, but left directly from another place, but the people who arranged for them to burn those carriages, does this explain one thing, why didn't the woodcutter see the transportation of a large range of people and machine carriages."
The law enforcement hall master thought for a moment and nodded: "There is indeed this possibility, and the possibility is very large, you only need to put the parts in the woods and hide them, enter the woods and assemble the carriage that night, and wait until about the next morning to burn the carriage directly, but what is it for?"
Two people thought of a point at the same time, and then said it at the same time: "Stalling time!"
The master of the law enforcement hall pulled Mo Yu back to the main hall: "It is very likely that they just want to distract our attention, and then quickly get a place where they should be transported, because the fastest messenger here is the carrier pigeon, but because of the urgency, we may not have made a good coordination with the level next to it, and if we find traces of the carriage at this time, then we will definitely focus on this carriage and a lot of thoughts will not care about their movements!"
Mo Yu also thought of this, but Mo Yu really didn't think about it clearly, so the goods that needed to be pulled inside were still not clear.
Now Mo Yu is even doubting one thing, that is, this line is not even necessarily correct, it is likely to be the opposite direction.
That night, all you had to do was hide some cloth and some salty wagons outside, and then at about the same time, the torches would start running forward, in order to attract the attention of the villagers.
Then let some people know where they were going, and then just throw the salt and cloth into the river, and it was two days of delay!
And this is still a small thing, and if you say it bigger, it will even drag on for a longer time!
Mo Yu suddenly felt frightened, and felt more and more that the things in this car were not some simple things.
And there is a hunch in Mo Yu's heart, and there is no too much or too good way to check it down next.
But this time, Mo Yu hurriedly said to the law enforcement hall master: "Like some neighboring cities in the north, hurry up and send a message, let them go and check the suspicious carriage!" I reckon those wagons heading south at night were just a diversion from us! Their real direction may well be north! ”
Combined with the small-scale friction in the north, Mo Yu suddenly felt that this matter was becoming less and less simple, and he also felt that this matter was becoming more and more impure!
