Chapter 264: Shocking
It's late at night, and spring is melting.
There is a light burning in the lobby, although it is not as bright as day, but you can see the expressions of the people in the hall clearly.
There were many people in the lobby, Pei Xiu and Su Wuming were sitting, Qin Mo was kneeling in the lobby, and Zhao Ting, the Guide general, was standing, he was the Guide general, and he couldn't kneel.
Su Wuming glanced at Qin Mo, and then asked, "Qin Mo, you escaped from prison and killed someone, can you be guilty?" ”
Qin Mo is a handsome man, and because of the relationship between the battles at the border pass, he gives people an indescribable hardness, although he knelt on the lobby, but he did not have a little cowardice, was asked by Su Wuming, and just snorted coldly, and said: "The court is unfair, what crime am I, that Zhang Dafu killed someone, just because he has money, he can survive, I didn't kill people but I want to be killed, what is this heavenly reason?" ”
People in the world are the most likely to find all kinds of reasons for their actions, some of which can impress people, and some of which cannot.
What Qin Mo said in front of him can't, because this reason can't erase his crime of murder, even if he didn't kill that Gillian, even Zhang Dafu doesn't count, but he killed a few jailers, which is unforgivable.
A slight smile appeared at the corner of Su Wuming's mouth, and he said coldly: "You fled back to Chang'an from the border pass and kept hiding yourself, what do you want?" ”
Asked this question by Su Wuming, Qin Mo was slightly shocked, while Zhao Ting next to him was a little frightened, he turned his head to look at Qin Mo, and when he saw that Qin Mo was about to speak, he suddenly preemptively said: "Master Su, this Qin Mo is a deserter, and he should be punished heavily!" ”
Su Wuming frowned slightly, and said, "General Zhao, this official is asking Qin Mo, please don't interject, when you are asked, it will not be too late for you to answer." ”
It was very shameless to be said by Su Wuming, Zhao Ting wanted to show anger or anger, but after seeing the officials standing next to him, he suddenly quieted down.
At this time, Qin Mo glared at Zhao Ting, and then bowed his hand to Su Wuming and said: "The reason why I lurked in Chang'an City was originally for only one purpose, and that was to kill Zhao Ting, but then I met a girl, I wanted to stay with him, if there was no Gillian killed, we might have left the capital, but God is not beautiful, and it is also retribution, I finally failed to escape this catastrophe, I was locked up for homicide, and I will be beheaded after the autumn, but there is still something in my heart that has not been completed, I can't die, That's why I escaped from prison. ”
These Su Wuming already knew that the woman who made Qin Mo infatuated was Qingqing, and the person he wanted to kill was also Zhao Ting, which Su Wuming knew from the spies of Dali Temple, because the spies of Dali Temple inquired that the other force looking for Qin Mo was sent by Zhao Ting, and after Zhao Ting heard that Qin Mo had escaped from prison, he already had a faint sense of foreboding in his heart, so he sent someone to go down.
It's just that at this time, Su Wuming and the others didn't know why Qin Mo had to kill Zhao Ting?
Qin Mo continued: "I used to be a soldier under Zhao Ting, leading dozens of people in my hands, and we have been resisting foreign enemies at the border pass, but this Zhao Ting, for the sake of military merit, actually instructed us to kill those unarmed people, and when we did this, he came up with a trick to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, and sent us to the trap set by the enemy on the front line. ”
Qin Mo only said a short paragraph, but Su Wuming was very shocked when he heard it, and he also understood that there were many ways to talk about military exploits in ancient times, the most commonly used of which was to kill the enemy's head, everyone killed people after they went to the battlefield, and cut off the enemy's head after killing someone, the more heads were cut, the higher the combat merits.
And Zhao Ting, in order to be promoted, went to kill those unarmed people, and used their heads as the heads of enemies, such people are really crazy.
Of course, Qin Mo was also involved in this matter, so his crime was not light.
"I got away with it, and then recuperated in a small town at the border, and when I was healed, I was going to find Zhao Ting for revenge, but I didn't expect him to go to the capital, and was named the general of Guide, there is no way, I only came to Chang'an, after coming to Chang'an, I met Lu Guogong, he saw that I was good, so he kept me, I didn't want to stay in Lu Guogong's mansion, but I didn't have anywhere else to go, and I didn't have the skills to make money, only the strength to show off this body."
Speaking of this, Qin Mo stopped, because everyone already knew the rest of the matter, how he was arrested in prison, how he escaped from prison now, and how he was caught.
After Qin Mo said this, Su Wuming shifted his gaze to Zhao Ting and said coldly: "General Zhao, do you have something to say?" ”
"Master Su, this Qin Mo is pure nonsense, I didn't kill those unarmed people to serve as military merits at all, don't listen to this Qin Mo's gossip here to confuse the public!" At this time, Zhao Ting knew very well that he would never be able to admit what Qin Mo said, because admitting that matter would mean that it was a big crime, and he might have to punish the Nine Clans, and besides, the only person who knew about this matter was Qin Mo, and it was impossible for others to know, so as long as he didn't admit it, he believed that Su Wuming would do nothing about him.
At this time, Su Wuming was indeed a little helpless, with only Qin Mo's evidence, it was really difficult to determine whether Zhao Ting had done anything to slaughter the people, and just when Su Wuming felt a little embarrassed, Qin Mo, who was kneeling on the ground, suddenly said: "My lord, what I said is true, the slaughter of the people was indeed done by Zhao Ting, if you don't believe it, you can send someone to the border to find a person named Liang Er, although we slaughtered those people at that time, but after all, we were a little soft-handed, so in the end we let a few people go, The person who Liang Er is among them, as long as he finds him and asks, he can know that Liang Er is worried and has not dared to disclose this matter, but now that there is an adult in charge, he must definitely tell the truth. ”
As soon as Qin Mo's words came out, Zhao Ting's heart suddenly sank, and Su Wuming, who was at this time, glared at Zhao Ting and said: "General Zhao, you'd better explain truthfully, so that the official can still ask the emperor to spare your family, but if you refuse to say it, wait for the official's people to go to the border pass and find Liang Er, and at that time, your entire nine clans will not want to survive." ”
Zhao Ting has been in the capital for a while, so he naturally knows that Su Wuming's words have weight, and he promises a thousand gold, what he says is what he says, and now Su Wuming's words are undoubtedly saved his family, although he didn't believe Qin Mo's words in his heart, he was also a little hesitant at this time.
Su Wuming frowned slightly, and then ordered: "Come on, go out of the city overnight and rush to the border pass, look for Liang Er, and bring them back to the capital." ”
After several officials received the order, they were about to leave, but at this time, Zhao Ting suddenly knelt down and prayed: "Lord Su spare his life, please Lord Su spare the lives of my family members, and I will be willing to bear all the responsibility." ”
Subsequently, Zhao Ting said what he did at the border pass, of course, these things are what Qin Mo just said, how he instructed Qin Mo and others to slaughter innocent people, how he pretended to be a military merit, and how he designed to kill those who knew about it, after talking about the border pass, he talked about the things in the capital, at first he didn't know that Qin Mo was still alive, until Gillian was killed, he found Qin Mo's traces, at that time he was afraid that Qin Mo would turn over, so he bought Yin Chenqing, the then Chang'an City Mansion, sentenced Qin Mo to a death sentence, and later, naturally, in order to avoid the exposure of the matter, he did something to kill people again, but although Qin Mo was imprisoned, it was difficult for him to get close to Qin Mo, and it was a little impossible to bribe the jailer to kill people, because Qin Mo was too alert, and finally he thought of using Zhang Dafu, as long as Zhang Dafu could find a way to kill Qin Mo in prison, he would help Zhang Dafu avoid the death penalty, but what he didn't expect was that Zhang Dafu had not killed Qin Mo, so he was killed by Qin Mo.
Zhao Tingfu pleaded guilty, Qin Mo was arrested, and the prison escape case in Chang'an City seemed to be over, but at this time, Su Wuming looked at Qin Mo and asked a question: "Lu Guogong's concubine Gillian, but was killed by you?" ”
Qin Mo shook his head: "I didn't kill Gillian, when I rushed there that day, Gillian was already dead." ”
Qin Mo is already a dying person, he really has no reason to lie, but if Qin Mo didn't kill Gillian, then who killed Gillian by whom?
Su Wuming glanced at Qin Mo, and then continued to ask, "Do you know that Gillian is the woman you have a marriage contract with?" ”
Qin Mo was not panicked, and nodded: "I know, this is what she told me, at that time, Lu Guogong was no longer interested in her, so she often stayed alone, so she wanted to hook up with me, but I already have a woman in my heart, I really can't tolerate her, besides, I am working in Lu Guogong, she is Lu Guogong's concubine, how can I have a relationship with him?" I went to her house that day, and she asked me to go, and the reason why I went to the appointment was to make it clear to him, so that she could love herself more in the future and not look for me again, but when I went in, he was already dead. ”
At this time, Qin Mo's face was full of remorse, if he hadn't gone to Gillian at that time, maybe after the matter passed, he would have been able to leave the capital with the Qingqing girl, as he said before, everything is retribution, he slaughtered the people at the border, then one day, retribution will come.
Su Wuming looked very deep, if Gillian was not killed by Qin Mo, then it must have been killed by someone else, but who was the other person? Is it Lu Guogong? Maybe he knew about Gillian and therefore couldn't tolerate it and killed?
Although the prison escape case has been solved, the case of Gillian's murder is only afraid that the investigation will continue, no matter what, this is also a murder case, and here in Su Wuming, it is absolutely not allowed to leave a murder case unsolved.
