The internal government is different from other places, it is the residence of the chief and his relatives, ordinary people are not allowed to enter, and the fact that the governor of Li can bring Li Mo in shows that he has been regarded as his own person.

Mo said that Li Mo had a life-saving grace for him, that is, it was not too much for Governor Li to call him a benefactor, Governor Li not only took him into the inner office, but even asked the maids to call up their wives and concubines, and wanted to give Li Mo a gift.

This Li Mansion Chief has a total of one wife and three concubines, all of whom are all in the body, and the cold has not disappeared at the moment, the wives and concubines are all dressed in ordinary pajamas, Li Mo never dared to be abrupt, but he didn't want to be too humble.

Since Governor Li regards himself as his own person, in addition to showing favor to himself, he is naturally worried that Li Moyi will bite back, after all, the real person who has solved this case is Li Moyi.

This credit is in Li Moyi's hands, and if Li Moyi is too outsider, it will make Governor Li unable to feel at ease.

Thinking of this, Li Mo didn't dare to shirk it anymore, and sat with Chief Li for a while, and the ladies of the internal government also came, and the room suddenly smelled a little more rouge.

…………

The status of the Shiwen in the northern country is very strict, and the selection of errands from Jinshi is also very strict, including a grooming audit, that is, a appearance audit.

Because of this, all the errands from serious backgrounds are dignified.

Governor Li was born in the imperial examination, and he has a beautiful face and a decent demeanor, although he has been contaminated with a lot of bad bureaucratic spirit, but the foundation of his background is still there.

But he is older, and he is busy with business all year round.

When these ladies saw Li Moyi who looked like this, their eyes suddenly lit up, the fourth aunt who entered the door was just favored, but they didn't make too much fuss, the aunts in the other rooms were old and suffered so much......... Seeing such a person as Li Moyi, he is naturally a horse-hearted ape.

Li Mo was also a little surprised at the beginning, these ladies were all daughters of big families before they passed the door, and it stands to reason that they would not behave like this............

Thinking like this, he spoke indifferently and ordinarily.

Seeing this, Governor Li couldn't help nodding secretly, only saying that it was dark at night, so he asked his wives and concubines to go back to rest, and he and Li Mo started to talk about business.

…………

…………

After the wives and concubines of Governor Li left, it seemed that the surrounding air was a lot fresher, and Li Moyi finally breathed a sigh of relief, and his hands and feet were no longer self-restrained, as if he was relieved.

Governor Li asked the maids to retreat, and then he said: "During this time, there are many immortals to help, and I will replace wine with tea and toast the immortals."

Li Mo said that he didn't dare, and Mansion Chief Li took a sip of tea, and then said with a smile: "Immortals, don't shirk, you and I are from the same clan, how many years older are we from this chapel, if the immortals don't dislike it, how about you and I be called brothers?"

Li Moyi was about to excuse himself, but he saw Mansion Chief Li waving his hand and said, "Don't hide it from Brother Li, if there is no Brother Li to help, Li will also be in a mess......... Brother Li is a capable person, by no means an ordinary person, Li can be regarded as a cold stove first, and Brother Li will look down on me as an old brother if he resigns. ”

Governor Li said this, Li Mo didn't want to refuse again, he was thinking that after finding out the case, he would return the silver wrench to the owner of the village, and then find his own way.

However, before there is no better place to go now, the governor's mansion in Liling City is also a good choice, at least it solves the problem of eating, and Li Mo is also familiar with the things in the mansion, and it is much easier to cross left and right.

"Since that's the case, then I'll call Brother Li." As soon as Li Moyi said this, he stood up and was about to bow, but Governor Li hurriedly helped him up, pulled Li Moyi's wrist and laughed, and the two suddenly took a lot together.

After taking his seat, Governor Li continued: "Brother Li, I can't trust the people in this mansion, why don't you stay with your brother for the time being and help your old brother do things?" You are also relatively clear about these many cases, and these clues are also dug up by you, think about it, only if I hand it over to you to take measures, my heart will be stable........."

Li Mo expected that Governor Li would have such a show, after all, he had helped so much, Governor Li should always have something to say, recognizing a brother or something is all false, and naturally he wants to give Li Mo some substantial benefits.

Since Li Moyi is left by his side, he will choose someone to fill the vacancy in the future, and Li Moyi's position is naturally indispensable.

But his true identity is Li Moyi after all, and the whole city is a wanted criminal.

Although Governor Li is already like this now, there is still work to be done, before the case is revealed, Li Mo has to continue to live with this white mask, and the matter of entering the governor's mansion on an errand will be discussed in the future.

Since he decided to find out about this case, Li Moyi naturally will not shirk it again, he has been following this case for so long and has suffered so much, and now that he finally has the power to investigate, how can he let it go.

"Since the elder brother is promoted, I should keep it in my heart, do my best, and live up to the trust!!"

Li Moyi also gave Governor Li a reassurance, as long as he accepted the benefits of Governor Li, it also showed that he and Governor Li were tied to the same boat, and naturally he would not bring up the old matter again and tell the truth about tonight's events.

Governor Li really showed a relieved expression, patted Li Moyi's shoulder and said, "Okay, good, the old brother really didn't mistake you, it's up to you in the future!!"

Li Mo smiled and nodded, and Governor Li said again: "The hour is not early, there are still some hours before dawn, and after working hard for most of the night, Brother Li will go down first to rest, and tomorrow we will also show our strength!!"

As soon as Governor Li's heart disease was gone, the whole person was a lot more relaxed, but Li Moyi shook his head and said: "In my brother's humble opinion, you should interrogate Zheng Shushu in time, so as not to have many dreams at night, since they dare to kill their mouths, there is not one more Zheng Shu, if he dies in prison, it will be another bad thing.........

Chief Li was quarreled in the middle of the night, his mood went up and down, he was already sleepy, it was rare to feel better, and he heard Li Mo keep talking, thinking that my official residence was bad from the inside to the outside, who would dare to kill him in prison?

But after thinking about it, wasn't Duo Niang killed in the back mansion, and was murdered right under her nose, and Scribe Zheng wasn't just a pest in her own mansion? If Li Moyi is really mischievous, all this will be in vain.

He is also a serious jinshi, with the arrogance of ordinary literati, how can he be looked down upon by Li Mo, when he thinks of the night trial prisoner, he can't help but recall his desperate strength when he first stepped on the errand, and immediately his fighting spirit is high.

"What my brother said is, let's judge Scrivener Zheng at night, hahaha!!"

Seeing that Mansion Chief Li was in high spirits, as if he was several years younger, Li Moyi could also see that this Mansion Chief was actually not so bad, and his essence was still a good or bad thing, otherwise Ning Xiao would not take care of this Mansion Chief Li, and he would get to know this nominal cheap old brother again.

Governor Li called Yahuan in, brought cold water to wash his face, and his spirit couldn't help but be excited, and then changed into a bad robe, and went out of the inner office to the prison of the governor's official residence to interrogate Zheng Shu.

Because of the matter of Scribe Zheng, the entire governor's mansion was a sensation, no one dared to sleep on this sleepless night, and the prison was even more heavily guarded, and the guards and jailers stood straight, for fear that if they stood crookedly, they would be suspected of being Scribe Zheng's accomplices.

…………

…………

Liling City is a big city, in addition to the governor, there is also a master book, but this master book is the old oil left by the previous governor, and he violated the Yang of the governor of the Li Mansion, so that many of the orders of the governor of the Li Mansion could not be implemented smoothly, and the people's hearts in the governor's mansion were even more disheartened, and the governor of the Li Mansion had the intention to rectify, but he could not do anything.

Now that the entire mansion seems to be completely new, these officials see him, just like a mouse seeing a cat, Governor Li is even more proud, thinking that thanks to Li Moyi, if there is no such thing, he will not be able to take the opportunity to clean up these old oilers, Li Moyi can be regarded as a great nobleman in his life!!

For the first time, Governor Li felt that he could finally walk in this mansion with his head held high, and for the first time, he felt that this mansion really belonged to him at this moment, and the three fires that he couldn't burn before had been burned by Li Moyi!!

Although Li Moyi noticed the change in Governor Li, he didn't think deeply, his mind was all on Scribe Zheng's body.

This Zheng Shushi is a key figure in this case, and he can definitely get access to the core insider, as long as he opens his mouth, the case of the shipwreck of this scholar is only one step away from the truth being revealed.

Although he is quite interested in the official residence prison, but when the truth is about to be revealed, his inner excitement makes him ignore such an inconsequential thing as the prison.

…………

…………

After passing through the triple iron gate of the prison, Li Moyi saw Scribe Zheng again in an independent room at the end of the prison.

This once proud criminal scrivener is now wearing a cloak and sitting on the straw alone, less frivolous arrogance, but more chilling depth and ruthlessness, which shows how well and concretely disguised this person is on weekdays.

He was wearing iron shackles on his hands and feet, and a wooden shackle around his neck, Li Mo was not worried that he would hurt people violently, the prison was too dirty, so Governor Li had him taken out and escorted to the criminal trial room.

…………

…………

The torture room was dark and dull, diffusing a fishy smell and rancid smell, and all kinds of torture instruments mixed with red stains mixed with rust were hung on the wall and placed on the wooden platform, making people shudder, as if these things were still attached to the unwillingness of the deceased, and the stains on the surrounding walls were like the faces of people screaming hideously, and the room was filled with an eerie atmosphere.

Governor Li asked him to take the wooden shackles of Scrivener Zheng and make him kneel, but Scrivener Zheng just sneered, and his legs were like iron welding, and he would never kneel!!

These jailers wanted to make a clear line with Zheng Shuren, so they naturally wouldn't be polite to him, so they made fire tongs and hit Zheng Shu's knee socket, the latter snorted, knelt on the spot with both knees, and wanted to get up, but was pressed to the ground by the jailer!!

On the battlefield of a foreign country, Li Mo had seen too many dead corpses, and his adaptability was good at the moment, but when he heard the sound of broken bones coming from the time Zheng Shuzhi was beaten, he couldn't help but think of the pain of being beaten......... was also nervous in his heart, thinking that the great punishment of these years was really not blown.........

Governor Li saw that Zheng Shuzhi was so strong, and his heart was also angry, this person betrayed his trust, not to mention, he even made a righteous and awe-inspiring posture, Governor Li was about to stand up for authority, to deter these poor people in the official residence, and he didn't ask about the case first, and threw away the order on the table, and then ordered.

"Scribe Zheng is self-evil, he is obsessed, and he dares to despise his own fault, give me a board first!!"

Li Moyi also knew that it was difficult to pry open his mouth with such conventional means as a person like Zheng Shuzhi, and Governor Li was also very experienced in this area, so I would give you a bad luck first.........

The prison guards gave the order and pushed him down on the torture rack in three or two strokes, and the cell boss personally picked up the board, and then asked Chief Li, "My lord, how much is the beating?"

Chief Li didn't raise his eyelids, yawned impatiently, waved his hand and said, "Ben Cha didn't shout to stop, just keep fighting, fight hard!!"

The cell leader's face changed greatly, and he subconsciously glanced at Chief Li's feet, and found that Chief Li's toes were outward, showing eight characters outward, and he understood it in his heart, so he began to focus on playing the board.

This beating board is also a technical work, experienced people to execute, looking high up, but it falls gently, the beating is earth-shattering, the skin is open, but it is only a skin injury, and it does not hurt the muscles and bones, and there are also people who can lie down in three or five days, while some have a dull sound, there is no wound on the epidermis, but the bones have been broken, and they can't live for two days when they are pulled back.

It is said that when the familiar guards practice playing the board, they first wrap the stone with their clothes, and after the beating, the clothes are fine, and the stone is broken, which is light on the outside and heavy on the inside, and the other is to wrap a stack of paper in the clothes, and the clothes are tattered after beating, but the paper is not damaged at all, which is the outer weight and the inner lightness.

In order to make the prisoners suffer less, the families of the prisoners often stuff silver into the execution guards, which seems to be a terrible beating, but in fact it does not hurt the roots, which is also one of the means for these guards to make extra money.

The reason why the cell head wants to look at the toes of Chief Li is also because of the unwritten rules here.

If the toes are pointing inward, then they will be beaten fiercely, and there is not much injury on the outside, but the bones will be beaten into slag, and if the toes are facing outward, it means that the prisoner will be spared.

Needless to say, the value of Zheng Shuzhi is needless to say, and Governor Li is angry, and he is not so confused that he will really beat him alive, but it is difficult to escape the crime of death, this cell head is a veteran, and the board is so fleshy that the flesh is open, and it is really just right.........

Li Mo didn't know the way to do this, seeing such a tragic situation, thinking of the pain, he was also afraid that he would really beat the person, it can be seen that the head of the Li Mansion was calm and confident, and it was not easy to say anything, this Zheng Shuren was in unbearable pain after a short time, and fainted on the spot.

Governor Li nodded with satisfaction, and then ordered: "Wake him up, I'm going to ask him."

Li Moyi breathed a sigh of relief at this time, and finally got to the point.

…………

…………

The first light passed through the iron window and entered the prison of the Liling City Governor's Mansion, and the damp prison seemed to have entered the second reincarnation, and the gloomy aura was dispelled.

Li Mo blinked his sore eyes and stretched his waist, and the head of the Li Mansion next to him was also not very uplifted, and his face was not good-looking.

The night trial did not go well, and no matter what they asked, Zheng Shuren just kept silent, even though he had already been tortured to the point of being inhuman.

Although the cell boss and the jailers were already familiar with the road, all kinds of punishments were also staged one by one, leaving various scars on Zheng Shu's body, and the soldering iron had already scalded the skin and flesh on Zheng Shu's body into a blur, and he didn't know how many times he woke up with cold water, but this brutal bone refused to speak.

The many methods of torture made Li Mo dazzled but shocked.

At this level, Li Mo thought that he couldn't bear it, but if it were him, maybe he would have confessed a long time ago.

I was thinking of trying my own means of forcing confessions, but the sky was already bright, he had another important thing to do, and the physical condition of Zheng Shuzhi had deteriorated rapidly, and he was afraid that he would not be able to be tortured, so he could only give up temporarily.

After a night of tossing, Governor Li was already very tired, and he was also relieved to hear Li Mo say that he was going to search the residence of Scribe Zheng, hoping to find some useful clues.

Although there are many guards in the governor's mansion, they are now assigned tasks, and even Wang Shi of the Companion Hall is guarding Duo Niang's residence with guards, and he can't send more people for a while.

After thinking about it, Governor Li asked people to say hello to the city guard team, and asked him to transfer a few archers and hand them over to Li Moyi to command the call.

The Guard Corps has a long history of being responsible for the work of eliminating violence, arresting thieves, and guarding against rebellions, and has 20 archers under its command.

This archer is not just an archer, there is a fixed quota.

For example, in Liling City, many of the prisons in the prison are archers, and the guards under the ten guards of the hall are actually archers, and these expenses need to be allocated from the local tax money of the governor's residence, so the archers have become a panacea, and they will go wherever they are sent.

Li Mo was worried that after the news of Zheng Shuyi's arrest spread, the people behind the scenes would destroy the evidence in advance, so he immediately took the archers to Zheng Shuyi's residence to collect evidence.

…………

…………

After walking out of the governor's mansion, Li Moyi found that the street was foggy, some unknown flying insects were hovering in the air, buzzing and flying, and the shops on both sides also began to open their doors to do business, and the vendors gradually began to shout on the street, exuding the heat of eating everywhere.

Li Moyi was also really hungry, but after all, he endured it and said to those archers: "Brothers have worked hard, this errand is important, and when the errand is finished, Li will invite the brothers to eat again."

The archers of these guard teams are the same as the guards, in fact, they are all under the service, the kind that are not allowed to participate in the imperial examination within three generations, and they can still shout at ordinary people, but Li Mo is the big red man in front of the mansion lord at a glance, and he is commensurate with the mansion lord's brother, how dare they put a score in front of Li Moyi, plus there is another matter of Zheng Shuyi, the governor of Li Mansion took the opportunity to stand up for himself, who would dare to offend Li Mo at this juncture......

Seeing that the archers didn't complain much, Li Moyi stopped being wordy, and the group quickly walked to the south of Liling City.

Zheng Shuyi used to be a big scribe of criminal cases, and the Zheng family is also one of the big clans in Liling City, although Zheng Shuyi is only a side branch, and some families are in the middle of the road, but they are also surnamed Zheng, and they can go through personal connections to enter the official residence on an errand, and their family background is still good.

Coupled with a lot of filial piety on weekdays, Zheng Shuzhi is not short of silver, even if he does not live in the governor's mansion, he also bought a small house in the south of Liling City.

Along the way, Li Moyi also learned about the personal situation of Zheng Shuren from these archers, and these archers also knew the local situation, and Zheng Shuren was in charge of the criminal name, so they were naturally clear.

After listening to this, Li Moyi was also a little relieved, this Zheng scribe is in his twenties, but he is not married, it is said that he usually goes back and forth to the Fenglou place, and only married two concubines, did not marry the main room, and has no children.

"It seems that he has been prepared for a long time, for fear that his family will drag him down........." Li Moyi thought so, and he was not very optimistic about this trip.

Scrivener Zheng was so guarded that he wanted to dig out some useful clues from his residence, but Li Moyi didn't want to give up easily, if Scrivener Zheng refused to speak, he could only find clues from other ways.

Thinking like this in my heart, I gradually arrived at the south street of Liling City.

At this time, there was a sudden sound of turmoil ahead, pedestrians rushed back and forth, and thick smoke billowed up.........

"It's on fire!! It's on fire!! ”

Someone banged the gong and kept shouting, and the street became more and more noisy, Li Mo couldn't help but feel nervous when he saw the billowing smoke at the end of the street.........
