Chapter 260: The Return
It rained lightly for three days in a row in Chang'an City, this light rain is like silk, but it really has the charm of spring rain, which is quite different from the heavy rain in the previous days.
The rain was pouring down, and everything seemed to be crazy, and people's hearts suddenly rippled for it; The light rain is more delicate, such as willow silk and beautiful eyebrows, long and charming.
After three days of light rain, there was still no news from the officials looking for Qin Mo, as if this Qin Mo disappeared after escaping from the prison, and he didn't take any action, as if he didn't want revenge, he just wanted to escape from the prison and survive.
Everyone has a desire to survive, and in front of the desire to survive, revenge and so on seem a little insignificant.
However, Su Wuming didn't think that a murderous person like Qin Mo would care about the desire to survive, what he wanted to do more was to take revenge, and the reason why he didn't take revenge was because the time had not come?
But what kind of time has it been?
The willow branches in the courtyard swayed in the wind, Su Wuming liked to break a willow branch and extract the willow bones to blow as a flute, which was something he often played with when he was a child, but now that he plays again, he can't get back the mood of his childhood.
After throwing away the willow skin, Su Wuming sighed, when a person grows up, there are more responsibilities, and many things that children like, he gradually feels boring and naΓ―ve.
People have to grow up slowly after all.
At noon that day, a servant came to find Su Wuming, although they didn't find Qin Mo, but they heard a lot about Qin Mo's news.
Su Wuming asked the official to tell him what he had heard.
"Back to Lord Su's words, we heard that Qin Mo also had a lot of military exploits in the army, killed a lot of enemies, and was extremely expected to be promoted, but once he fought with the enemy, he actually committed the crime of underestimating the enemy, and as a result, the entire team was almost wiped out, he crawled out of the pile of dead people to survive, but after he climbed out, he did not return to the army, but returned to Chang'an City, and the people at that time thought he was dead, so they didn't care, knowing that after the prison escape, We just learned about this in the army, and the people in the army were also surprised, they thought that Qin Mo had died a long time ago. β
After hearing this, Su Wuming nodded slightly and said, "In addition to these news, is there anything else?" β
The official thought for a while and said: "Also, when this Qin Mo was in the army before, his relationship with people was very bad, his temper was still very big, and the people in the army hated him very much, and there was another thing that this Qin Mo liked to grab military merits the most, if it wasn't for grabbing military merits at that time, the team he led would not be wiped out." β
Through these news, Su Wuming has the most comprehensive understanding of Qin Mo, and Qin Mo's behavior in the Lu State Mansion is hidden, after all, it is a very disgraceful thing for him to leave the barracks like this, if he is grumpy, the end will definitely not be much better.
Can Lu Guogong's identity, can't he investigate this, if he only has Qin Mo is a deserter, how can he dare to use it? Did he not investigate, or did he investigate, but he just didn't want to expose Qin Mo, but what was his purpose?
Everyone has their own thoughts, if Su Wuming is Lu Guogong, I am afraid that he will not say this matter, after all, mastering this is equivalent to mastering Qin Mo's lifeline, and using such a person, you can do a lot of unexpected things.
And when Su Wuming asked about this matter, even if Lu Guogong knew, he could only pretend not to know.
It's just that after Qin Mo picked up a life, why did he come to Chang'an City, in the entire Chang'an City, there are not a few people who serve in the army, have a mansion in Chang'an City, or return to the dynasty to be officials, if they are recognized by those people, wouldn't it be too dangerous? Moreover, Lu Guogong knows many people in the army, and it is even more dangerous to follow Lu Guogong.
He could have gone somewhere else, found a place where no one knew him and lived a peaceful life.
It's not simple, it's really not simple.
Thinking of this, Su Wuming suddenly felt that the reason why Qin Mo returned to Chang'an and stayed in the Lu State Mansion must have a purpose, but what was his purpose?
In this Chang'an City, there must be someone or something that makes Qin Mo feel that he must stay in Chang'an, but what is this person or thing? Su Wuming glanced at the servant, he wanted to hear if there were any other clues.
The official thought for a moment and said, "Except for these, there is nothing." β
Su Wuming was a little disappointed, and then ordered: "After you go down, investigate again and see how many people in this entire Chang'an City know Qin Mo, especially those who have served in the army before." β
After receiving the order, the official went down, and on this night, Hu Fei brought Su Wuming news about Gillian.
"My lord, this Gillian was just a very ordinary girl in Chang'an City before, and then she suffered an accident in her family, and she had to go into the dust, and later she was taken by Lu Guogong, so she helped redeem herself as a concubine in Lu Guogong's mansion, and according to our investigation, this Gillian had a marriage contract with Qin Mo before entering the dust."
When he heard Hu Fei say the last sentence, Su Wuming was suddenly a little surprised, and said, "Have a marriage contract with Qin Mo?" But the Qin Mo who escaped from prison? β
Hu Fei nodded: "Back to adults, it is the murderous demon Qin Mo, this Qin Mo's family lives in a small town outside Chang'an City, he has a bad temper on weekdays, and often causes trouble, and later conscription, he went to the military camp, as for whether there is any relationship between him and Gillian, we don't know this, it seems that they only met once when they were very young, and they haven't seen each other since." β
This news is absolutely amazing, and after getting this news, Su Wuming can more or less guess that Qin Mo stayed in Lu Guogong's Mansion for Gillian, but does Lu Guogong know about this matter?
If Lu Guogong didn't know, then he wouldn't have any suspicion of Gillian's death, but if Lu Guogong knew, he was afraid that this matter would make Lu Guogong angry, and then kill a concubine like Gillian, right?
Glancing at Hu Fei, seeing that Hu Fei seemed to have something to say, Su Wuming gestured slightly and asked him to continue.
"Gillian is just a concubine of Lu Guogong Wu Yousan, and at first she was quite liked by Lu Guogong, but then she slowly stopped being taken seriously, and became a woman who kept an empty boudoir alone, it is said that during this period, she was good with a man, but who that man was, we have not yet investigated."
"Is it possible that Qin Mo?" Su Wuming felt that since Qin Mo had a marriage contract with Gillian, the relationship between the two in one place must be very awkward, plus Gillian fell out of favor, it was extremely possible for Qin Mo to have something in the rain when she was lonely and unbearable.
It's just that Hu Fei couldn't be sure, and after shrugging his shoulders, he said, "Maybe it is, maybe it's not, I'm afraid we have to investigate this, but it won't take a long time." β
The night is getting deeper, and Su Wuming has got a lot of news today, and these news make the whole case feel like the truth is about to come out, but something is faintly missing, so Su Wuming can't find a clue for a while.
Sleepless on a spring night, Su Wuming got up and looked at the night sky, Wen Wan'er brought a snack, and said, "Eat some supper, how many things do you have for dinner today." β
It was a dessert made by Wen Wan'er, Su Wuming liked it very much, nodded and took one and ate it in his mouth, sweet, like the taste of happiness, Wen Wan'er handed over a cup of tea, Su Wuming took a sip, and at this time, Wen Wan'er suddenly asked, "Are you still worried about the case?" β
Su Wuming nodded: "Now that Qin Mo has no news at all, I'm really worried that he will suddenly go on a killing spree, now this matter has not stopped, the people are panicking, if there is no news, I am worried that the emperor will be furious." β
Wen Wan'er can understand Su Wuming's worries very well, the most important thing now is probably to arrest Qin Mo, whether he is the murderer of Gillian or not, and no matter what kind of grievances and secrets he has, but he killed Zhang Dafu in prison and killed several jailers, this is a capital crime, so he can't be spared.
The spring breeze blew in through the flower window, warm, and with a hint of coolness, very comfortable, Su Wuming slowly closed his eyes, the news he got in the past few days kept flashing in his mind, and slowly, Su Wuming felt that he had sorted out some clues, but in these clues, there were still some important clues.
I don't know how long it took, Su Wuming opened his eyes, and suddenly felt a little dizzy in his head, and at this time, Wen Wan'er had already fallen asleep, Su Wuming smiled bitterly, and he was also sleepy.
Nothing was said overnight, and early the next morning, a servant came to Su Wuming, saying that he had investigated the matter that Su Wuming asked him to investigate yesterday, and in the entire Chang'an City, there were three people who had contact with Qin Mo in the army, and among these three people, two of them were Qin Mo's bosses, and they made a lot of contributions in the army, so they received some official positions in Chang'an City, these two people were Zhao Ting, the general of Guide, and Luo Piao, the general of Zhongwu; General Guide is from the third rank, and General Zhongwu is from the fourth rank, both of which are military generals, and these two people are awarded such official positions precisely because they have made great achievements in the army.
And the other person is called Sun Qing, who is a companion in Qin Mo's army, he doesn't know each other very well, he just met in the army and said a word, that person was injured on the battlefield, his legs were crippled, and he couldn't continue the battle and survived by luck, so he was sent back by the people on the front line.
After listening to these words of the servant, Su Wuming felt that this Sun Qing did not need to think about it, he did not have any conflict with Qin Mo, but he had met a few times in the army, and it was impossible for Qin Mo to come to Chang'an for him, and if it was not Sun Qing, it would be Zhao Tingyi or Luo Piao.
If Qin Mo was for these two people, why did he stay in the Lu State Mansion?
After thinking about it for a while, Su Wuming asked, "What is the relationship between Lu Guogong Wu Yousan and Zhao Ting and Luo Piao?" β
