"Lu Chaoji? How did he get back? Mo Li looked at Gao Qiqian suspiciously.

Gao Qiqian spread his hands, saying that he didn't know.

"Let him come." Mo Li waved his hand.

Not long after, Lu Chaoji trotted over, saluted and whispered: "General Baomo, the prisoner, the prisoner ran away......"

"What!" Everyone was taken aback, the soldiers of the thousand Beijing battalion escorted a thousand prisoners and ran away? This is simply a loss of conscience.

Mo Li glared at Lu Chaoji and said coldly: "Commander Lu Du, tell me, what's going on?" How did the captives run away? ”

Lu Chaoji was sweating profusely, and stammered: "Hui, General Huimo, I, when we just walked near the Chen family set, the brothers said that they were tired of walking and drank some tea before leaving, but, but who knows, that tea shed was also opened by these bandits, they were drugged in the tea, fortunately, they were clever, and they realized that something was wrong early, and this prevented the brothers from continuing to drink tea......

Mo Li glanced at Lu Chaoji, and said angrily: "You take a breath first and clear your tongue." ”

"Yes, yes, General Mo." Lu Chaoji exhaled a big breath, calmed his breath, and continued: "At that time, most of the brothers had already drunk the tea and began to feel a little dizzy, and the other brothers realized that something was wrong, so they shouted to stop and wanted to catch the boss, but those captives ran away, and the owner of the tea shed and his men also began to run, and they were hacked to death by the brothers in the chaos, and most of the brothers were hit by **, and they couldn't catch up with those captives for a while......"

"What a rubbish! Even the group of captives could not stand it. Before Mo Li could speak, Gao Qiqian scolded Lu Chaoji a few words, turned to Mo Li and said: "General Mo, you see that Lu Du commanded them is also careless, and he didn't make a mistake on purpose, so Lord General will forgive him this time." ”

Before Mo Li could answer, suddenly He Zhenbei walked over, glanced at Lu Chaoji, and then whispered a few words in Mo Li's ear.

Mo Li's face changed, he looked at He Zhenbei and said, "Xiaobei, is this serious?" ”

He Zhenbei nodded and said, "General, you will never dare to open your mouth, this is all what Xiao Liuzi has seen with his own eyes." ”

Lu Chaoji suddenly felt his heart beating wildly inexplicably.

Mo Li nodded, he knew that He Zhenbei would never tell him anything that he had guessed without evidence. At that moment, he turned to Lu Chaoji with a gloomy face, and said coldly: "Commander Lu Du, you said that the owner of the tea shed drugged your tea, but according to the information I received, it doesn't seem that this is the case!" ”

"Yes, what kind of ......" Lu Chaoji replied stiffly, "General Mo, what you say is the truth!" All brethren can testify about me. ”

"Huh, honestly? Good! Then I'll tell you the truth! Mo Li sneered: "According to the intelligence officer's report, you did drink tea in the tea shed of the Chen family's collection, but the owner of the tea shed is not an accomplice of thieves, and there is no ** in the tea!" So please tell me, why are you lying? ”

"General Mo, I didn't lie...... I didn't lie," Lu Chaoji said in a panic.

"And said no! You took the captives and gave you a great deal of gold and silver, and you let them go, yes or no? And then you killed the owner of the teashed and his men in order to create the illusion that the owner of the teashed was colluding with the captives, yes or no? ”

"Wronged, General Mo, wronged! There is absolutely no lying in his humble position......" Lu Chaoji was shocked, and hurriedly argued, seeing that Mo Li's face was not good, he hurriedly set his eyes on Gao Qiqian again, begging Gao Qiqian to help him intercede.

Gao Qi thought for a moment, rolled his eyes, and smiled at Mo Li: "General Mo, is there any misunderstanding in this?" This Lu Chaoji has been in Beijing for a long time, our family still knows better, and he is definitely not that greedy for money and lustful person, it is impossible to accept a few taels of bribes and dare to let go of the prisoner privately! ”

"Father-in-law Gao, the general's intelligence source is absolutely true and reliable, and he will never wronged a good person for no reason, besides, Xiaobei said that the tea shed guy is not dead, he can come out to testify!" Mo Li said with a cold face.

"Impossible! I saw him hacked to death and thrown into the river, how could he come back to life......" Lu Chaoji said in horror.

"Really? If a man is dead, then why do you throw him into the river? You are destroying the corpse and destroying the traces, so that there is no proof of death, right? Mo Li interrupted Lu Chaoji's words and asked. He originally deliberately said that the young man was not dead to trick Lu Chaoji, but he really showed his feet under this trick.

Lu Chaoji said in a panic: "This, this...... General Mo, I'...... This, a little wrong, Father-in-law Gao, save, save me......" He was already incoherent.

Mo Li sneered: "Wronged? The facts are there, do you still want to deny it? ”

Gao Qiqian's brows furrowed, this Lu Chaoji is really foolish, Mo Li is on fire at this moment because of the defeat of the striker, you are here again, didn't you hit the muzzle? If this is better to say in normal times, the current situation is ......

Seeing that Gao Qiqian didn't speak, Lu Chaoji suddenly knelt down with an ordinary voice, and said bitterly: "General Mo, Gao Gonggong, please raise your noble hands and show mercy!" The small, the little one is just a moment of confusion, please spare me! ”

Mo Li glanced at him coldly, and said in a deep voice: "Lu Chaoji, as the commander of the Beijing camp, but for your own selfish interests, you disregard the law and discipline, release thieves privately, and then kill good people to create false cases, and disregard people's lives!" According to the laws of the Ming Dynasty, it should be beheaded! ”

"Huh? The general spares his life......" Lu Chaoji was suddenly paralyzed to the ground in fright, and kept kowtowing and begging for mercy.

Gao Qiqian was also taken aback, he originally thought that Mo Li would at most let people beat Lu Chaoji and punish him with money, after all, he had not seen this kind of thing, and ordinary officials also handled it like this. This Lu Chaoji has indeed committed evil deeds, and he has nothing to say about such a punishment. But Gao Qiqian didn't expect Mo Li to behead Lu Chaoji, and he was a little flustered now.

Lu Chaoji himself is a straw bag, but his family has a head, a face and power in the capital, and he usually respects Gao Qiqian, and now if Lu Chaoji is beheaded under his own nose, and he doesn't come out to say a word, if this is spread, it will be very disadvantageous for him to raise and dive.

At that moment, Gao Qiqian hurriedly said with a smiling face: "General Mo is angry, angry, although this Lu Chaoji has made a mistake, but after all, he is the commander of the Beijing camp, and he has been in the army for many years, and he has a little merit, and I hope that the general will remember his first offense, and spare his life, right?" ”
