Chapter 047: The Praying Mantis Catches the Cicada and the Yellow Sparrow is behind
He violated the ban and went to the streets at night, acting sneakily, and the soldiers wanted to intercept and interrogate, and Mo Qizu ran away, and the two sides scuffled.
This person soon fell into the hands of Li Mao, Li Mao did not know any interrogation skills, but he saw that Mo Qi was really not a kind of person, so he put a full set of torture instruments in the torture room. Looking at those strange-looking terrifying torture instruments, and listening to the ghost crying wolf howl in the torture room next door, Mo Qi Zushi suddenly collapsed, his legs were as weak as rotten noodles, and without waiting for Li Mao to ask, he poured beans into a bamboo tube, and poured everything he knew, whether Li Mao wanted to know it or not.
In order to prove his innocence, he confessed that Dayuehua was indeed a Han woman abducted by his uncle, she was the daughter of a well-off family in Jiangzhou, named Yang Yu, when she was four years old, she went to the street with her grandmother to buy vegetables and was deceived by Mo Qi Shu with a piece of sugar.
Yang Yu's grandmother was so remorseful that she committed suicide by throwing herself into a well. The mother cried dry tears and died depressed. Because his father threatened to go to Beijing to sue the emperor, he was imprisoned by the local government, and then died in prison for no reason, and a good family was ruined.
When Da Yuehua grew to the age of sixteen, she became a famous beauty of the Mo tribe, and her suitors were very heavy, and the grandson of the elder Mo Qi was also coveted by Mo Qichu, and she couldn't get it, so that she became a little nervous. According to Mo Qi's confession, that night his uncle asked him to go to discuss with Da Yuehua and ask her to falsely accuse Chen Shu of rape, so as to provoke a dispute and force the county commander Xue Rong to agree to their request. Mo Ke Zushi wept bitterly and said: "I love Da Yuehua deeply, how can I bear to hurt him, I wander and wander in front of her bed, from the moon rising to the moon in the middle of the sky, I don't have the courage to step into her bed. Later......"
"Later, Mo Qichu came to persuade me and asked me to hand over this difficult matter to him, I knew that he was uneasy and kind, but I really couldn't face Da Yuehua, she was so beautiful, so pure and kind, I made the mistake of weakness again, I gave her to someone else's ......."
Li Mao said: "You mean that Mo Qichu raped and killed Da Yuehua. "She lives in the back camp, and a few respectable old men live together, only children like us can approach her sleeping tent, I didn't leave until the beginning of the fourth watch that night, except for Mo Qichu, I really can't remember that there are others, and he, the hateful Chu, has been watching her like a wolf." He must have felt that my uncle was ready to abandon this poor man, so he would be desperate to violate her. ”
Mo Ke covered his face and cried bitterly, and his expression did not look like a fake.
Li Mao said: "Since you really like Da Yuehua, why do you want to force her, what benefits did your uncle promise you?" Mo Qi wiped away his tears and said: "He promised me to be his entourage after the deed is completed, and when I have enough qualifications, I will be a big thorn horse, and then be the leader." Chen Shu, who was pretending to be a secretary, became furious and shouted: "Stupid, stupid! He's using you, can't you even see through that? Mo Qi really recognized that it was Chen Shu, and his face suddenly turned dark, and he didn't dare to say anything.
The matter has been figured out, but to arrest people, the evidence is not enough, Li Mao and Xue Rong discussed, asked to see Yin Mu, and asked him to send troops to the Moqi camp to arrest Moqichu. Yin Mu refused to send troops, claiming that arresting people was a matter of local arrest and had nothing to do with the garrison. Li Mao touched his nose and came out, and his face was a little unpleasant.
was thinking about what was on his mind, and was suddenly stopped by Sang Rong, who smiled and said: "I heard that the Moqi people are very difficult, and they need the help of their brothers to just talk." Sang Rong has always been not very respectful to Li Mao, and at this moment he offered to help, which surprised Li Mao a little. However, Li Mao didn't have time to think about it, and immediately begged Sang Rong to send troops to help. Sang Rong is a deputy general and a confidant of the military envoy Yu Hualong, and he can mobilize one-third of the army's soldiers and horses without Yin Mu's military order.
However, since Yin Mu refused to help, Sang Rong didn't want to do anything with him, so he selected one hundred and fifty soldiers and drove onto the street in the name of treats. According to the strategy agreed upon by the two, Li Mao urged Feng Bu to lead 30 arresters to break into the camp of the Moqi people. The Tang Dynasty officials treated each other with soldiers, catching them as fast as wolves and tigers, and the Moqi people were dumbfounded.
The elders of the clan led by Mo Qipo wanted to incite the clan to gather a crowd to resist, but Mo Qishu shouted: "Openly resisting the law, similar to rebellion, giving people a handle, how can you gain a foothold in Chengwu County in the future?" ”
Mo Qipo sneered: "Don't forget that Zushi is in their hands, he has always been a soft egg, he can't withstand their coercion and temptation, maybe he will give someone out!" What is your purpose in letting them into the camp? ”
Mo Qi Shu said: "I am open-minded and worthy of the sky, what evil thoughts can I have?" ”
The sudden toughness of the Mo Qi Shu made Mo Qi very uneasy, he instinctively sensed the danger, but he was powerless to stop it, according to the clan rules, the leader has the right to make a decision on the spot, although he has a way to remove the leader, but it takes time and a good excuse, now he does not have both, he can only watch Mo Qi Shu open the camp gate to enter Li Mao.
Li Mao took out the arrest warrant issued by Xue Rong, stating that Mo Qichu was suspected of abusing and killing Da Yuehua and wanted to arrest him.
When the Moqi people heard this, they were in a big mess, and the government framed good people. Mo Qi Shu suppressed everyone and discussed with Li Mao: "At the beginning, it was the youngest grandson of my clan elder Mo Qipao, and the elder was passed down for four generations, only this one young grandson, can the government open the net and hand it over to his father for strict discipline?" The words of the leader of the Moqi people are full of deep meaning, obviously defending the Moqipai, but in fact, they are revealing the weakness of the Mocha to Li Mao.
Li Mao learned from Chen Shu and Mo Qi that although Mo Qi Shu was the leader of the Mo Qi clan, he had no real power, and the scheming Mo Qi used the Elders to play him in the palm of his hand. Mo Qi Chu is the only son of the ruling elder Mo Qi's only son, Mo Qiming, the family's only hope for the future, publicizing his crimes, arresting him and imprisoning him, it is undoubtedly a devastating blow to Mo Qipa, and the old guy is likely to be in a state of collapse from now on, losing the ability to manipulate the Mo Qi clan behind the scenes.
Thinking of this, Li Mao suddenly realized that Mo Qi Shu was sending him an olive branch and wanted to form an alliance with him. A slight chill drifted through his heart, so it was very likely that Mo Qi's attack on Guan Jian on the street was an intentional arrangement of Mo Qishu, and he happily confessed that it was in the design of Mo Qishu, and he was unknowingly used by Mo Qishu.
He glanced at the seemingly loyal Moqi technique, and said quietly: "The prince is guilty of the same crime as the common people, and the Moqi clan really recognizes himself as a subject of the Tang Dynasty, so he should not obstruct law enforcement." ”
Mo Qi Shu didn't dare to do anything, and while drinking the warriors who were about to move, he sent his retinue to bring Mo Qichu, and the retinue returned soon after, claiming that Mo Qichu was not in the camp. Qingmo shouted: "Someone saw him enter the camp with his own eyes, and now he has grown wings and flies?" If you don't hand it over, we'll search it, and if we find out, you won't be able to avoid the crime of harboring. ”
"This ......"
Mo Qishu groaned, and someone beside him persuaded: "How can the subjects of the Tang Dynasty know the law and break the law, and we should know the law and abide by the law with the favor of the Heavenly Khan." "The person who spoke was Elder Maha Jingmei, the only supporter of Maha in the Presbyterian Church.
Mo Ke Jingmei has a very high prestige in the clan, and when he opened his mouth, dozens of people immediately echoed him.
A young man raised his arms and shouted, "Those who torture and kill my people are not even beasts, and they are not worthy to be the offspring of steppe wolves." The crowd echoed and made a loud noise.
In a gorgeous felt tent not far from here, the elder Mo Qi sat cross-legged, with a bowl of milk tea beside him, his only son Mo Qi Ming was pointing his nose and scolding Mo Qichu, Mo Qichu's face had several red palm prints, he said aggrievedly: "I am on the ground, he told me that he wanted to kill Da Yuehua to marry the beggar gang, he couldn't do it so he wandered, I think since they are all brothers, how can there be no reason not to help, I will kill her." ”
Mo Qiming said angrily: "You really killed her, what did you do before you killed her?" My grassland ancestors killed people like hemp, all of them were heroes, but the **** weak woman was the most shameful, at the beginning, at the beginning, you not only harmed yourself, but also ruined the family reputation, you ......" Mo Qi Chu said hesitantly: "I am ...... I couldn't help it, I'm guilty, I'm not human, grandpa, save me, save me! Mo Ke Chu kneeled forward, knelt in front of Mo Kepa, kowtowed like pounding garlic.
Mo Qiming kicked over Mo Qichu, and Mo Qichu got up and continued to kowtow.
Mo Qi opened his eyes, and a sullen breath of hot air came out of his nostrils, and he was about to start speaking, when suddenly a shout came from outside the tent, and the sound was like a flood of the sea. Mo Mingming listened carefully, his face changed greatly, and he was also panicked: "Abba, you can't hand over the beginning, if you go out, it will be a death." The four generations of our family can't be wiped out from now on, and if he is guilty, he will also cause you to be ruined. ”
Mo Qi took a deep breath, slowly exhaled, and said: "You remember, it is not others who are plotting against us, but Mo Qishu!" After saying this, the elder of the Moqi clan stood up, as awe-inspiring as a god of war.
