"This is your scythe, isn't it?" Mo Qian asked, pointing to a pile of scythes on the ground.

The people from Hanjiagou hurriedly nodded, "Yes, all the sickles in our village are here." ”

Mo Qian kicked the scythe on the ground with his foot, "Is there anyone who missed it?" Or who can hide the scythe? ”

"Probably not, right?" An old man said, looking to be a more prestigious person in the village, but after he finished speaking, he was not very sure, and then turned around and asked, "Have you all handed over your scythes, this is a government business, don't hide anything." ”

The men hurriedly shook their heads.

Mo Qian smiled secretly, this kind of question is not lethal at all, after thinking about it, he slowly walked in front of them, and said in a condensed voice, "Now give you another chance, hand over the sickle as soon as possible, if anyone hides it, then it will be punished with the murderer." ”

Teng Yanqing looked at Mo Qian with some surprise, this kind of questioning attitude is simply like an official interrogating others, but he is not qualified to be an official, where did this Mo Qian develop this kind of bearing?

The people in Hanjiagou were obviously frightened by Mo Qian's words, and one of them looked flustered, sweating slightly on his forehead, but when Mo Qian looked at him, he hurriedly lowered his head.

"Well, since you don't admit it, the lord has to verify it yourself, the official listens to the order, you will immediately go to Hanjiagou to search each house, as long as there is a scythe hidden in someone's house, then this case does not need to be tried, just confess." Mo Qian's words not only stunned the people in Hanjiagou, but even scared Teng Yanqing and others stupidly, let you try the case, you really treat yourself as a county order? But this sense of oppression made the following officials involuntarily move their steps, and only after standing up did they remember that the person in front of them was not their own family, and hurriedly turned their heads to look at Teng-County Order, the other party's face was a little blue, and it seemed that he was a little annoyed that the officials were not angry, but now they couldn't interfere, so they could only turn their heads away by default.

The officials got acquiescence and were about to walk out of the lobby, when a villager hurriedly stood up and said in a panic: "Slow down lords, you are a little fool, you shouldn't be greedy for a while to hide the sickle at home, but I really didn't kill anyone, so the grass people will go and take the sickle." ”

Mo Qian glanced at the other party, the rules of the yamen naturally made it impossible for people to leave the yamen, "You tell me the location where the knife is hidden, and I will let the yamen fetch it." ”

After the villager told the official the location, the two fast horses hurried to Hanjiagou.

Mo Qian looked this person up and down, "What's your name?" ”

The other party hurriedly knelt down, "My lord, the little one's name is Han Sheng, I am an ordinary farmer, it is impossible to kill people, I hope that the adult Mingjian, the adult Mingjian!" ”

Mo Qian's face was expressionless, and he said in general Tai Chi: "You'd better explain honestly, as long as you didn't do it, this official will never wronged a good person." "Yes, yes, yes." The other party said like a chicken pecking rice.

"By the way, what do you usually use your scythes for?" Mo Qian lowered his eyes and set his eyes on the pile of scythes.

As a result, before the people in Hanjiagou could speak, Teng Yanqing had already preemptively said: "Of course, the sickle is used to harvest rice and weed, what else can it be used for, are you stupid?" Mo Qian's eyes lit up, and his eyes looked at Teng Yanqing like electricity, "This official is trying the case, and others have to interject." Teng Yanqing was stunned for a moment, and only after a while did he mutter: "Do you really think of yourself as an official?" ”

The old man replied, "This boy is right, our sickles are used to harvest seedlings and weeds on weekdays, and we have not done anything about it. ”

"Is it used to slaughter livestock?"

"No, there are other knives for slaughtering livestock, and the sickle is neither easy to use nor clean, so there is no need for it." The old man spoke up.

Mo Qian nodded slightly, and then stopped talking.

It didn't take long for the sound of horses' hooves to sound outside the lobby, Hanjiagou was not far from the county seat, and there were horses to travel, so the sickle was quickly retrieved.

The people who gathered around the gate of the yamen to watch the excitement consciously got out of the way, and those officials walked in with a sickle wrapped in cloth, but when they walked into the main hall, Mo Qian's eyes flashed a sharp light in an instant, and they were immediately wrapped in a thick cloth, and there were still many flies around the sickle.

"My lord, we have taken the sickle back, you see ......" The two officials walked up to Teng-County Commander with the knife in their hands and said, asking each other's opinions, but the other party didn't bother to look at it, and directly waved their hands and asked them to send them to Mo Qian's side.

Teng Yanqing has always had the attitude of watching a good show, in this situation at the scene, there are seventy or eighty people, so many knives, how can you tell who did the crime? In this case, Ben Kai should have asked who was at the scene or who had an alibi, he just thought that after Mo Qian asked, he would save time to continue the interrogation, after all, this workload was too great, but he didn't expect Mo Qian to be even more straw than he imagined, and he didn't even think of this, he actually wanted to start from the sickle, so many sickles, as long as the knife was washed, who knows which one has killed someone?

So, Teng Yanqing teased: "What, my Lord Mo, you have had enough of this official tone, and the knife has been retrieved for you, you should also try the case, right?" ”

Mo Qian smiled, "What you said is not wrong, but there is no need to try it, the murderer is Han Sheng." ”

"Huh?" Teng Yanqing's jaw was about to be shocked, "Although it is said that someone else has hidden the sickle, it is just a temporary convenience, a little selfish, so it won't be so slanderous, right?" Teng Yanqing felt that he was able to reverse black and white enough, but he didn't expect Mo Qian to be more capable of breaking than him, and so far he hadn't asked anything, so arbitrary.

Not only Teng Yanqing, but also the people standing outside the door felt that Mo Qian was simply disregarding people's lives, "What kind of lifting people, but also genius, what is the difference between this and being blind?" ”

"You're right, I was really blind just now, and I wanted to say that I supported him just now, but it's also thanks to him that he didn't have a lieutenant sergeant, and this kind of person is a scourge to the people when he becomes an official."

"Mo clumsy? Bah! The last sentence was said by Lai Renjie, if he did this on weekdays, then it is estimated that a bunch of people would think that he was pretending, but now they feel surprisingly happy.

Zhuang Wan and the others were so nervous that their palms were sweating, but they were not parties and could not enter the lobby, so they could only desperately make eye contact with Mo Qian outside, but what made them disappointed was that Mo Qian did not respond at all, and still stood there lightly.

But the man in the dark color clothes was looking at Mo Qian with interest, and everyone else was denouncing Mo Qian, but the corners of his mouth showed a smile, as if he had found something interesting.

He vaguely felt that this humble remark did not seem to be so arbitrarily concluded, and perhaps, it might bring him some surprises later.
