After looking at the map, Mo Yu found that the choice of this pedestrian route was quite correct, although it was not the closest distance, but this route could avoid many villages.

Basically, there are some of the more rare trails, and only some of them are used by people who really need to go to work in the mountains.

As for the direction of the cloth drop, it is the closest direction to the village, and then the downstream finds that the location of the cloth is not particularly close to the village.

In fact, there is not much to do, at this time, you can just return directly, and then bring these alloy metals, which can be regarded as a evidence.

Mo Yu glanced at the Law Enforcement Hall Master, who was telling his soldiers.

Then Mo Yu also walked around.

Carefully observe the ground for signs of dew, because the area is full of trees, and it is not easy to evaporate if the dew wets the ground.

But it seems that according to the soldiers' multifaceted search, there should be no more.

These soldiers are also relatively experienced soldiers, so if they didn't search, they probably didn't find them.

Now Mo Yu just wanted to see if there was any other way out, and the path should be impossible.

Mo Yu saw a few other paths down the mountain, but it was not so much a path as a few roads with fewer weeds.

It seems that none of these roads are particularly obvious, but there are traces of a few people walking.

After a while, the hall master of the Law Enforcement Hall came over and asked Mo Yu, "Does the city lord have any other orders?" If not, let's go to the woodcutter's village, shall we? ”

Then Mo Yu nodded: "You can arrange it."

Then the head of the law enforcement hall arranged for a large number of soldiers to prepare to go back with the evidence.

After rechecking and really nothing to forget, everyone set off on their way.

Once again, the horses ran rampant through the valley.

A group of people quickly came to the village that the soldier had said, and then found the village steward.

The Lord of the Law Enforcement Hall walked in front and negotiated with the steward, and then the group came to a room.

The tea inside was completely ready, and the steward had prepared a lot of tables outside, so that the soldiers could have a place to rest and drink tea.

Only the Law Enforcement Hall Master, Mo Yu and a few guards around him entered this room.

The person in charge made a big salute: "Good city lord, old and polite."

Mo Yu hurriedly clenched his fists and responded: "The elders don't have to be polite, because there is a reason for the incident, so I hope the elders will forgive me for the faux pas caused by the offense, why don't you call the villagers over here and ask us."

The person in charge smiled: "The city lord is really a humble person, the old man has already sent someone to shout, someone has already notified him just now, so he said that he has been preparing, that is, it can be arrived without a cup of tea, and I hope that the city lord and his hall master will wait a little longer, there is a cup of thin tea here, and I hope the two adults will not dislike it."

"Where and where, there is a lot of trouble."

Then Mo Yu also happened to want to drink a cup of weak tea, and drank some boiled water on the way.

Although the elder is talking about some thin tea, even the soil tea grown by himself in the south has a light green taste, which is very impressive, and the aftertaste is endless after drinking.

After drinking the tea, Mo Yu smiled and said, "Dare to ask the elders what kind of tea this tea is, the taste is elegant, not thick or light, sweet and delicious, and has a long aftertaste."

The man in charge also laughed when he heard this: "The city lord's words are so serious, it is really a pain in the old man's heart, and he just grows some soil tea at home, if the city lord likes it, I will order the old woman to prepare some tea for the city lord, and I hope the lord will not dislike it."

Mo Yu did have this intention in his heart at this time, but he definitely didn't want to take the tea for nothing, anyway, Mo Yu was not a bad person.

Mo Yu waved his hand, and then threw the money on his body, but because he was in a hurry, the money he brought was definitely not too much.

However, he still took out some scattered money, about 100 yuan, and then put it on the table and said to the person in charge: "You can take as much money as you can for me, and I don't bring more when I go out."

This person immediately stood up: "This is a torment for the old man, how can he ask for money from the city lord, this is just some poor things, not worth too much, just a little show of the mood to give the city lord something."

Mo Yu shook his head and said, "Since the elder doesn't want to sell me and the tea, it's just that I don't have a blessing, forget it, then I won't buy it."

Mo Yu is definitely not the kind of person who eats people for nothing, so he thinks that he wants to retreat and indulge, and the final result is that he still wants to buy some tea, because he does feel that the tea here is very hearty.

This is the person in charge who is in a dilemma, and then he looked at this law enforcement hall master with slanted eyes, of course, all this is under Mo Yu's eyes.

Mo Yu pretended not to see it and drank the tea in the cup.

The hall master of the law enforcement hall looked at Mo Yu, and then said to the elder: "The city lord is definitely not the kind of person who bends the law for personal gain, aren't you putting the city lord and injustice, since the city lord likes this tea, then sell it to the city lord cheaply, it just so happens that I still have about two or three hundred Yu here, it can be regarded as a loan to the city lord and buy your tea, you see how much you can give, we will pack it and take it away later."

I have to say that the master of the law enforcement hall is indeed a person who can observe words and feelings, whether he thinks that Mo Yu is pretending to be honest in front of people, or whether he really wants to use money to buy tea.

But the one in the middle must do it, and if he wants to be perfect, if he can buy it together, of course, he can buy more.

When the person in charge heard this, he was also relieved, and immediately called the old woman at the door, who was ready to bring tea and water at any time, to come in: "Go and pack all the spare tea leaves in our house and bring them to me."

Then he smiled at the Law Enforcement Hall Master and Mo Yu: "The two adults wait for a moment."

But the tea had not yet arrived, but the woodcutter had already arrived.

The woodcutter swung his legs, in fact, he had never seen such a scene.

So in order to settle the woodcutter's mood, Mo Yu asked him to find a seat and sit for a while, and asked the person in charge to also hand him a cup of tea, so that he could calm down and relieve his mood first.

After a while, it seemed that the woodcutter was not so nervous.

Then he gave the head of the law enforcement hall a look, meaning that he should ask him to ask.

The head of the law enforcement hall nodded: "Then don't be nervous, we just ask you a few questions here, and I will answer them truthfully, and I won't delay you for a long time."

"Yes, yes, yes, my lord, you ask, you ask, I will say whatever you ask, you must tell everything I can know." The woodcutter said resignedly.

"Oh, yes, that day, you said you saw a couple of carriages, and you entered from the same way you went into the mountains and cut down trees, right?" The Lord of the Law Enforcement Hall obviously didn't get this information.

But Mo Yu heard it, and the law enforcement hall master wanted to blow him up a few times to see if he was telling the truth, and the cuttlefish listened to this paragraph expressionlessly.

Then I felt a lot of emotion in my heart, and sure enough, there was a mountain next to each line.

The woodcutter hurriedly replied, "Lord Hui, this is not the case, I did not see this carriage enter that mountain, because I have to cut down trees very early, so every day I have to get up very early, and then transport the branches and trees out in the afternoon."

"When I went there early that day, I finally saw the fire from a distance, and at first I thought the fire was not particularly big, but when I got closer, I found that the fire was actually not small, and then I didn't feel particularly good."

"It just so happened that the village chief came back and met me in the morning, and asked me why I came back so early, and I said this, and I planned to rest for a day today, and then the village chief came to me and told me to wait at home and not run around, because someone might come to ask me in the afternoon."

Mo Yu listened to it and found that this person's answer was relatively complete, there should be no place to lie, and if you look at the skin color on this person's body, it should be working outside all year round.

When we met again, I also deliberately looked at the part of the thumb on my hand, which is the most important place to exert force, and then I could see a thick layer of calluses, especially on the right hand.

It shows that this person should be engaged in a high-intensity agricultural activity for a long time, so there is no need to lie too much, and other words can be disguised, but this one needs to be used for many years, so it is not good to disguise it too much.

Then the law enforcement hall master nodded: "I see, then let me ask you a second question, the second question is whether you saw a large number of suspicious people on the way to and on the way back."

When the question was asked, the woodcutter thought about it, and thought about it for a while.

"I don't think I saw it."

"It's like seeing it or not seeing it." The law enforcement hall master said softly, trying not to scare the woodcutter.

"Nope." Finally this woodcutter was determined.

"And when are you going to do a chop of wood every day?" The Lord of the Law Enforcement Hall asked a third question.

"I don't know the exact time, there is only one timekeeper in our village, and I don't pass there every day when I chop wood, plus there are a lot of clouds in the sky that day, so the moonlight is not particularly bright, but I know that the stars in the west are about to die when I get to that mountain."

That star in the west? After Mo Yu heard this, he roughly determined the time, that is to say, it was a time from three to four empty, but the time was indeed too long.

The master of the law enforcement hall next to him followed the soldier and kept joicing down the confession with the brush he carried with him.

Mo Yu calculated this point in time, according to what he just said, a little more advanced time, that is, a little more than three empty, this woodcutter mountain was a little more empty and saw the fire on this mountain.

That is, an evacuation has just been carried out at this time.

The point in time they arrived at was almost this point in time, which means that they just passed by this woodcutter?

If there is a large-scale transfer, there should be a lot of movement at this point in time, even if so many people are transferred without the use of torches.

In other words, there is a lot of time in between, and although every village has that thing, it is difficult to achieve an accurate timekeeping if there is no moonlight or daylight.

But according to the month, when the morning star is about to die, it should be less than the time of the four empty.

This should be considered a relatively important piece of information.

Then the law enforcement hall master continued to conduct an interrogation: "Are you sure you didn't see a carriage or a large-scale transfer of people?"

"My lord, I'm sure there will be no one on my way to the foot of the mountain." The woodcutter became a little frightened, and his legs began to tremble a little.

"Okay, okay, then I'll move on to the next question, you just said that you were at the foot of the mountain, which means you didn't go up the mountain, right?"

"Yes, as I said earlier, I didn't think the fire was particularly big, but when I got to the foot of the mountain, I found that the fire was not small, and then I was a little scared, so I didn't go into the mountain again, because once a fire broke out on the mountain, it was actually a terrible thing."

The head of the law enforcement hall asked an irrelevant question: "Oh, how do you say this?"

"Because of the dense branches on the mountain, there are some things that cannot be dispersed, for example, those rotten branches produce some methane gas, and if there is a fire, it is easy to light those stinky gases, so if it happens, it is likely to cause a large-scale fire, and I didn't dare to go in because of this situation before."

Mo Yu knew a little bit about this, because if the jungle was too dense, it would cause such flammable gases to not circulate, and once a fire broke out, it would be easy to ignite.

It seems that the entire mountain forest is gloomy, and it cannot cause a large-scale fire.

But once a place jumps up, it can easily cause a continuous fire.

The law enforcement hall master nodded: "What you said makes some sense, okay, then I'll ask you the next question, do you know that there is a clearing on this mountain?"

Mo Yu suddenly felt that the appearance of this open space was not a simple thing, because it seemed to prevent the emergence of large-scale fires.

This open space seems to have been created specifically for this matter, so when the law enforcement hall master asked this question, he simply asked the key point.

"If you go back to your lordship, this clearing actually appeared very suddenly."

Mo Yu and the law enforcement hall master were both immediately interested, and their eyes lit up and stared at this woodcutter.

The frightened woodcutter shrank his head back, and at this time, Mo Yu and the law enforcement hall master realized that he was a little too excited, and then instantly calmed down his mood.

So that the woodcutter can answer his words as soon as possible.

"This clearing appeared about a year ago, when I remember one day, there were traces of horse-drawn carriages on the mountain road, because that road was stepped on by the villagers for a long time, so the road was quite wide, but I was a little confused when there were very deep carriage prints that day."

"Then I saw a large clearing, it was really big, and it hadn't been there the day before, and someone must have cleared it out at night, and it would have taken a lot of people to clear it, and then the trees would have been carried away by horse-drawn carts."

"I remember that day I was very impressed, because it was because of the trees, I didn't have much work that day, and just picking up those branches kept me busy for a few days, and since then the trees have never grown, not even the branches and leaves."

"It's just that some weeds grow, and even the shrubs and trees don't grow there, it's a very peculiar feeling, don't bring yourself a lot of convenience, if you take a break, you can take a break when you're tired there."

When he said this, Mo Yu suddenly felt that the place had not been completely surveyed, and it seemed that there were still secrets that no one knew.

"Are there traces of carriages in that place, and no one has ever been there?" The Law Enforcement Hall Master asked again, "Do you remember exactly what day this happened?" ”

"Since then, there has been no trace of the carriage, because I was very uncomfortable when I pulled the carriage, because the marks were too deep, so I also filled in the very deep places, so I can clearly know that there is indeed no carriage there, I really forget the specific time, it seems that a year ago was at the time of the spring equinox."

Mo Yu and the others got a huge amount of news, he said that this news seemed too long, and that one thing that could be determined was definitely for a reason.

It's definitely been planned for a long, long time, from the choice of time to the resolution of the aftermath process, it should have been planned for a long, long time.

Mo Yu thought about it for a long time, if there was no need to go through so much trouble if there were other things, except for those things.

Then after asking a few more questions, there was nothing to ask, and Mo Yu and the Law Enforcement Hall Master let him go.

As soon as the woodcutter had left, the peasant woman brought the tea leaves, and they were two large packages of tea leaves, and they were full.

The person in charge here also specially explained: "If you want to preserve these teas, don't put them in the sun, just a cool and moist place, you can keep them for three years, even if the taste is a little good after three years, you can also eat, if the city lord is still short of tea, you just need to send someone to get it from me."

Mo Yu shook his head helplessly after seeing so many teas: "It can be regarded as I took advantage of the elderly, but it was really an unintentional move that caused the elders to suffer losses, and I hope the elders will forgive me."
