(34) Why do you oversleep?
Jiang Rong, Yu Qiong and others should have been arraigned.
But after Shen Mo led people down the mountain, there was no movement, and after sending people to separate the two and put them under house arrest, he arranged for a night watch, and then dismissed everyone to go back to rest.
He was magnanimous, and even sent drinks and meals to the two people under house arrest, regardless of whether they could eat or not.
Shen Mo and Xu Ban did not return to the camp, but lived on the second floor of the inn under the arrangement of Chen County's order, of course, Rong Di's envoys were carefully "taken care of" in the special room on the third floor, because there was nothing to do and they did not go out, which did not affect the investigation of the case.
Xu Ban and Shen Mo's rooms were side by side, one on the left and the other on the right, before parting, Xu Ban was still a little curious, and asked him: "Did the general see anything?" ”
Shen Mo curled the corners of his lips and smiled, and asked rhetorically, "What do you think?" ”
Xu Ban thought for a while and said, "I think that Dr. Jiang's suspicion is not easy to wash. Seeing that Shen Mo did not refute, he continued: "The husband has seen him before, and the messenger also found a cloth bag stained with mud, although he did not find the bones, but it was really reluctant to say that he went up the mountain to collect medicine. ”
"Not bad." Shen Mo nodded.
"But we don't have direct evidence." Xu Ban said again.
Shen Mo's smile deepened: "So you have to wait." ”
Seeing that he didn't seem to want to speak, Xu Ban's heart moved slightly: "The general said that if you want to understand a person, you should start by observing the people around him, so the general sent people to the homes of these two people to bring their close people for interrogation?" ”
This time, Shen Mo didn't answer him in the same way.
"Just look at it first, and then think about it."
"The general is not in a hurry," Xu Ban felt a little helpless in his heart, so he teased, "Ning Yatou is going to die in a hurry." ”
Shen Mo thought of the appearance of the head of the official scratching his ears and cheeks, and he had a good impression of him.
"It's okay, someone is more anxious than us."
Xu Ban couldn't understand it again.
"Get some rest early." Shen Mo began to drive people away.
"Yes." Xu Ban sighed, and said in his heart, this general who is worthy of being a trick Rong Di Tuan, asked around, and obviously gave an answer, but it was no different from not saying it.
Oh, man, terrible.
The next day it was dawning.
Xu Ban just pushed open the door of the room, walked through the corridor, and saw Shen Mo in the courtyard through the wooden carved window, he should have stretched his muscles and bones, and now he was wiping his arms and shoulders with a cloth towel while listening to the report of his subordinates.
Shen Mo has gone through the battle, and he is no longer the young man with red lips and white teeth, his hair has been twisted and shortened only to the back of his neck, because the sweat is not dry, the ends of the hair are tangled, there is a faint half strand of gray, the armor and the horse chopping knife are placed in the general Zhang Zhong, and he only wears regular clothes when he lives in the inn.
The young general's cheeks still had unshaved stubble, and his original young face had been wrinkled by the harsh polishing of the environment, which made him look more majestic and resolute than his peers in the imperial city.
Only large and small scars on his body were slightly white, and one of them crossed the entire back from his left shoulder, which was hideous and ugly.
His body with these flaws was not pretty, but the muscles that bulged slightly under the fabric, like a hard and clumpy rock on the edge of a rift, seemed very powerful to others.
Shen Qingjun has a portrait of Shen Mo wearing a general's armor and holding a Mo knife, which is not very similar, but his demeanor and majesty have already revealed the demeanor of a brave and famous general on his body.
Of course, these may not attract the attention of women, but in the eyes of his enemies and friends, his current image reflects his demeanor as a strong enemy and a general.
Looking up, just in time to see Xu Ban coming down, Shen Mo said:
"If you don't order today, you have to go to interrogate the disciples of the Medicine Hall and Yu Qiong's mother, you go to the camp to count the number of people, and immediately go back to the court to find me." He paused, and looked at Xu Ban's eyes with a little seriousness: "Today is not a holiday, you are late, you are working the march, and you will be fined according to military law." ”
Xu Ban's feet were crooked and he almost fell.
What's that??? He slept???
The military order was strict, and although he was very confused, he could only walk out while thinking, and only after passing the corona in the courtyard did he realize that he was indeed late.
Oh, that's weird.
Shen Mo saw Xu Ban leave with his subordinates, and soon returned to the room.
He glanced at the tea on the table and sighed deeply, a few small insects, although there is some trouble, but it has nothing to do with the case, so it can only be pressed temporarily.
It was still early when the two arrived at the county office, but Chen County Ling and other cadres had already arrived, but the old father of the county commander's family occasionally felt cold, and he actually came to take leave.
In order to make good friends with the General's Mansion, at this time, the county magistrate had already handed over the case to Shen Mo, and at the same time, in order to show his trust, he also withdrew his own manpower, leaving only a few officials who knew about it.
Everyone sat down and waited for arraignment.
Xu Ban sat at the bottom of Shen Mo, took the place of the main book, and recorded the case.
The people who were arraigned today were more special, one old and one young, so Shen Mo specially sent someone to bring a soft cushion to prevent the old man and children from kneeling on the hard brick ground.
Shen Mo first interrogated the disciple of the doctor of the medicine hall, and heard that the doctor had no children, and this little disciple was a child adopted by the doctor, named Jiang Wantong, who was a very smart child in the eyes of the neighborhood.
But the child is still young, and although he is smart, he is a little nervous, and he trembles a little even when he kneels. Seeing this, Shen Mo left the main seat, walked to Jiang Wantong and sat down cross-legged.
"You don't have to kneel, you sit down and talk to me."
Jiang Wantong breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this, and sat down cross-legged, although he was still nervous, he didn't tremble.
"Does the little doctor think Vice General Xu is handsome?"
Xu Ban's hand shook, and a drop of ink dipped into the paperwork, he looked up at the two of them, only to see that Shen Mo's expression had not changed, he was still serious, and there was a trace of majesty in his eyes.
The child was not nervous at all, he secretly tilted his head and glanced at Xu Ban, and then said:
"General Xu is a promising young man and heroic."
Shen Mo nodded, his eyes narrowed, and his face became more serious: "What about General Ben?" ”
The child lowered his head and seemed to smile:
"The Shen family army is invincible, the general is majestic, and he is not angry and arrogant."
Shen Mo nodded again, accepted the praise without changing his face, and then said:
"Then I'll start asking questions, and you answer them one by one."
Jiang Wantong's arraignment ended quickly, and before he left, he said to Shen Mo again:
"General, although I can't prove where Master was that night, I believe that Master didn't mean to, so please prove his innocence."
The child's voice is crisp.
After he said that, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Shen Mo before standing up again.
"I'm going to interrogate the Yu family's grandmother and your master next," Shen Mo said seemingly casually, "I can ask my subordinates to take you to meet your master first." ”
Next is the arraignment of Yu Qiong's mother.
The old man seemed to have a fairly strong body and spoke cleanly.
After Shen Molian asked a few innocuous questions, he suddenly said:
"Old Madam Yu has been out recently?"
Yu Qiong's mother paused before saying:
"No, I didn't."
