Chapter 049: Dense Clouds and Rain
Li Mao arranged eyes and ears in the camp of the Moqi people, and reported to Li Mao every other hour about the situation in the camp, and he was secretly relieved to learn that the authority of the leader had stabilized the situation after returning to the camp. Qingmo saw that there was no news from Feng Bu's side for a long time, he was anxious, and shouted to supervise the battle, Li Mao said: "Don't rush him, Feng Judicial is more anxious than us at the moment." ”
Feng Bu was indeed a little anxious, Mo Qichu didn't look very good, but his mouth was very strict, and the eighteenth class had exhausted his means, and he couldn't pry out a word. Although Li Mao didn't have a word of urging, Feng Bu's eyes were already red, like a wolf at the end of his rope.
A close catcher tried to persuade: "Otherwise, please ask Master Xuan to take action?" ”
Feng Bu was stunned when he heard this, sat for a long time, and sighed with a wry smile. Master Xuan was originally the head of the Chengwu County Ya Catcher, he has been eating public meals for 40 years, and he is good at interrogation, so if you are a good man who fights iron and bronze casting, you will be defeated if you can't go a few rounds in his hands. When Feng Bu debuted, Master Xuan was already in a state of semi-retirement, he didn't come to the yamen, he was also in charge, he was walking around with a birdcage all day long, and the officials in the county respected him and didn't control him, and Master Xuan's life was free.
Feng Bu is an extremely smart person, and he is diligent and inquisitive, and he learns quickly, and he has solved several major cases in two years, and he has won the trust of the judiciary Zuo Sugui. After becoming famous, Feng Bu began to flutter, and gradually became dissatisfied with this old-timer who was wandering around with a birdcage all day long, and secretly competed with Master Xuan.
Feng Bu was young and vigorous at that time, and he didn't know how to write the lost words, so he threatened to fight with Master Xuan and split the male and female. Master Xuan smiled faintly at his provocation and ignored it. Feng Bu decided that Master Xuan looked down on him, so he held a grudge.
Not long after, Feng Bu learned that the new county lieutenant in the county was very unaccustomed to Master Xuan, who was carrying a cage and walking birds, so he found an opportunity to sue Master Xuan in front of the new county lieutenant, so the sixty-year-old white-haired man was scolded by the county lieutenant in his early twenties in full view of everyone.
When Master Xuan walked out of the county office that day, his expression was a little dazed, and when he stepped down the stone steps, he accidentally stumbled and broke his foot.
The next day, he resigned from public office on the grounds of foot illness, moved out of Chengwu City, returned to his hometown to live in seclusion, and never set foot in Chengwu County for 20 years.
This incident soon formed a shadow in Feng Bu's heart and became a heart disease, which could not be solved for more than 20 years.
Seeing that Feng Bu was silent, the catcher didn't dare to make a mistake, and was about to quit, but was stopped by Feng Bu: "Prepare a generous gift, I will come to apologize." ”
The news that Feng Bu went out of the city to urge Master Xuan reached Li Mao's ears, Li Mao's already tightly locked brows tightened, and Mo Qi Shu sent someone to bring out the word, and Mo Qi Ming was contacting Mo Qi's comrades, preparing to force him to convene an elders' meeting.
Of the five remaining elders in the Council of Elders, only Keimi Mogami was his ally, fearing that he would lose control of the situation once the Council of Elders was convened.
Every time a major event is approached, the Council of Elders must make a decision, which is a custom formed by the Moza people for thousands of years, and without a reasonable and legitimate reason, the Moza cannot prevent the convening of the Presbyterian Council. Therefore, he urgently asked Li Mao to get Mo Qichu's confession, cut through the mess quickly, and calm down the turmoil as soon as possible.
Li Mao could understand the pressure of the Moqi technique, but there was nothing better for him to do at the moment.
Time is passing minute by minute, Li Mao's heart is like tormenting in a boiling oil pot, and there is a danger of scorching and bursting all the time. At that moment, he finally understood the profound meaning of the idiom "living like a year".
Qingmo and Zhang Xuan were not far away, they stared at Li Mao nervously, and the anxiety in their hearts also weighed them out of breath, but Li Mao didn't say anything, and they didn't dare to act rashly. Qingmo kept looking in the direction of the north gate, Feng Bu had been out of the city to urge Master Xuan for most of the day, but there was still no movement.
The messengers of the Moshu alarm came one after another, and finally, Qingmo couldn't bear it anymore, he grabbed a horse and galloped to Xuanjiaji in the north of the city.
Feng Bu stripped off his clothes as soon as he got out of the city gate, he asked people to tie two bundles of wattles on his back, and walked all the way to Xuanjiaji, from the gate of the village, he knocked his head step by step to the front of the thatched house of Master Xuan's house, howling and crying, repenting of his mistakes back then, and kowtowing to Master Xuan in front of hundreds of onlookers to make amends.
Master Xuan picked up a handful of old tears in the grass hut, lifted his crutches, and greeted him out with a smile. By the time Qingmo Pegasus arrived at Xuanjiaji, Master Xuan had already promised to re-emerge and help.
Qingmo was overjoyed, and urged Master Xuan to get on the horse, and his own family led the horse in front of him to be a horse boy, and everyone hugged each other, and the group entered Chengwu City in a mighty way.
At dusk, Mo Qishu couldn't bear the pressure from all sides, and agreed to hold an elders' meeting at night against his will, but he used the excuse of being respectful and hid in the latrine. The envoy was ordered to report to Li Mao again, and as soon as the people got out of the fence wall, they saw hundreds of officials and catchers flocking to them, stepping on the yellow dust everywhere, and the earth trembled.
The messenger was overjoyed, and rushed all the way into the latrine, shouting excitedly, "Here they are, here they are." ”
Mo Qishu was overjoyed, picked up his pants and left, only to find that the grass ball that wiped his butt was still pinched in the palm of his hand when he got out of the toilet.
Not only that, but he also confessed that he committed suicide in order to prevent the government from taking him away and keep the family's reputation intact, so that his father and son could continue to overthrow the leader of the Mo Qi technique, and when he grew up, he could seek the position of leader.
Chengwu County Yazhu quickly escorted Mo Qichu to the scene of the murder to testify, and dug out the bloody clothes and murder weapon buried by him under the elm tree next to the stinky ditch, the handle of the murder weapon was impressively engraved with the name of Mo Qichu, and the short knife used as the murder weapon was forged with grassland star iron, and the iron was sharpened like mud, which was priceless. Many people vividly remember that it was a gift from Mo Ke when he was five years old, when he was the head of the tribe at the time.
The truth is revealed, and it is shocking.
Even his most loyal friends now turned against the deceased and attacked the deceased's shamelessness and cunning, and the presbyterian council was aborted, and Mo and his supporters were arrested by Chengwu County.
Maha Shu took the opportunity to exercise the power of the leader and handed over the four elders who were close to Maha to the government for interrogation, and if they were guilty, they would lose their elderdom.
These elders were all in a lot of blood debts, and from the moment they put on the shackles, they knew that their doom was inevitable, and one by one, they were like frosty eggplants, completely wilted.
When such an ugly thing happened to the tribe, as the leader of the tribe, he wore a cloak of horses, wailed and wept, and knelt on the ground, praying for the forgiveness of the immortal heaven. In the name of the leader, he ordered the camp to be sealed and announced preparations for the convening of the Mundali Conference, which was the highest level meeting of the Moksha clan, attended by all adult clansmen, at which the guilty elders could be elected and dismissed.
The last Mundali Congress was held when the Mokhar was stepping down as its leader, and it had been eleven years since then.
He is no longer worthy to be the son of the Mok, although he is dead, he will still be deprived of all honors, and his descendants will naturally lose the qualification to serve as tribal leaders and elders, and those elders who are close to him, who are qualified to remain in the position, and who will be deposed, now it seems that it is clear at a glance.
It wasn't until the four dejected elders of the Moqi clan were taken to the county government prison to await trial that Li Mao dared to believe that this turmoil was over, at that moment his mind was blank, and the whole person seemed to have been drained of his soul and became fluctuating, this weightlessness lasted for a night, and at dawn on the second day, when he heard the news of the four elders' confessions, Li Mao ended his weightlessness state, his soul returned to his body, and he became a man again.
Feng Bu applied the two skills he had learned from Master Xuan to the four of them, and the effect was surprisingly good, and the four of them cooperated to confess how they designed to provoke conflicts between the government and the people, how they pretended to be officials and soldiers to beat the petitioning beggars, and caused a tragedy, so as to coerce the Chengwu County authorities to make concessions, and finally achieve the goal of settling in Chengwu County.
Based on the confessions of the four elders, Li Mao ordered the arrest of more than a dozen members of the Moqi tribe who had specifically participated in the beating of the beggar gang.
After getting all this, Li Mao made an appointment to meet with the Moqi Shu in a tea house, and before the tea came up, he threw the confessions of the elders to the leader of the Moqi people, and the leader's face suddenly turned black as a dark cloud.
Li Mao said: "It's outrageous! You can't stay in Chengwu County any longer, leave Chengwu, leave Ziqing, and we can not blame you for your sins. ”
After saying this, Li Mao left the silent leader of the Moqi people and walked out of the teahouse with heavy steps.
