(45) Collaboration with the enemy

Chen Chang and Jiang Yun were originally a teenager husband and wife.

Chen Chang lost his father when he was young, but he was favored by the Jiang family's grandfather and personally provided him with education. thought that he might not be able to look down on the Jiang family again, but he still came to the door to ask for marriage, and the grandfather of the Jiang family married his youngest daughter Jiang Yun to him. After marriage, the two Qin Se and Ming, the couple had a deep love, and it didn't take long for them to give birth to their eldest son, and then they were named by the emperor as the county order of Qu County, and Chen Chang also recruited his brother-in-law into the house as a house doctor.

But his good fortune seems to have stopped there, and he didn't rise for several years.

At the beginning, he also talked with Jiang Yun about the prosperity of the imperial city, but later he did not mention it again when his career was not smooth.

didn't want him to use his brother-in-law's life to exchange his future this time.

Chen Chang stood up, retreated to the door, and put his hands on the latch.

"Madame will share the prosperity of the imperial city with me, and my brother will be happy."

Then he pushed open the door and said softly to the little servant outside: "Madame didn't pay attention to breaking the porcelain cup, go outside and call the doctor to come and see, don't leave a scar." Forget it, I'll go and ask for it myself. ”

Seeing that he followed the little servant, Mrs. Chen's stiff back against the cabinet finally relaxed, stood up in a trance, and turned around to open the chain.

Jiang Rong, who was standing in the cabinet, had red eyes, and put behind his back his hands that tried to break open the door of the cabinet and his nails were torn.

Mrs. Chen had already made her decision and couldn't help but burst into tears.

"Ah Rong, my aunt will help you overturn the case."

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€” dividing line is only eight wordsβ€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”

"It's just a case of collusion between officials and people to frame the people, you shouldn't come to me."

Shen Mo moved his steps and stood in front of Jiang Rong. Because of his tall stature and perennial warfare, the evil spirit he chooses people and loves forms an oppression and a faint threat.

Although Jiang Rong was moved, he was even more determined in his heart.

"If that's the case, I really don't have to commit such a big crime to attract the attention of the general," Jiang Rong's words were sonorous and powerful, "but I know that the Shen family has been guarding the border for decades, and the general has guarded the territory and expanded the territory, and will never tolerate other countries coveting the Central Plains, and will never tolerate the act of collaborating with the enemy and treason." ”

Jiang Rong knelt down in front of Shen Mo and held the long-written pleadings and bloodstained sapphire butterfly ornaments in his arms high above his head:

"Jiang Rong, a native of Caomin Qu County, sued Chen Chang, the county magistrate of Qu County, who did not respect the way of an official and did not know what his conscience was. forced my biological father to kill, abused my aunt, and colluded with foreigners; Treason with the enemy. The human and physical evidence has been gathered, and I hope that the general will strictly investigate and verify it, and return justice to my family and country. ”

Shen Mo looked at him with his eyes down for a long time, with no expression on his face.

"Jiang Wantong is your adopted son, how long has he studied medicine with you?"

Jiang Rong looked into his eyes and shivered, but he couldn't guess why he was suddenly angry.

"Wan Tong has been with me since he can remember, and I hope the general will not implicate him......"

"Jiang Wantong wants to join the army," Shen Mo interrupted, "I am an old doctor with the army, and I need a replacement." Shen Mo slowly took the complaint and evidence in Jiang Rong's hand, and he still knelt on the ground and kowtowed a few times before saying:

"I won't protect you, when I find out the case, you will follow me to the capital to the Ming Sheng, and then you will be punished according to the law. Jiang Wantong is not your parent, and what happens in the future has nothing to do with you. ”

Jiang Rong breathed a sigh of relief.

"Thank you, General."

Shen Mo's rewards and punishments are clear, Wan Tong is originally smart and able to endure hardships, and if he teaches all the way on the march, he will definitely be able to take charge in the army in the future.

On the same day, Jiang Rong was taken back to the camp outside the city by Shen Mo, and Shen Mo and Xu Ban no longer stayed at the inn, leaving only a team of people to guard the Rongdi mission in disguise to avoid accidents.

In the military tent.

Xu Ban took the jewel double butterfly decoration and looked at it over and over.

"Here...... There is a fracture, this is really a golden hairpin? ”

Shen Mo glanced at him and continued to look at the map in his hand.

Xu Ban continued to analyze with great interest:

"Listening to what the general said, there are people in the DPRK and China who are fornicating with the enemy country, and this is evidence." He picked up the broken golden hairpin, and the light passed through the cracks in the openwork through the blue gem, imprinting a spot of azure light on his young face. "The double butterfly golden hairpin is a national gift created by the Boruo royal family and presented to the nobles of Chenguo. At the beginning, we escorted it personally, and there were dozens of them, but I recognize that this one is slightly different. If you want me to say, this gem is a little too big. ”

He stared at Shen Mo with a smile: "General, do you see any doorways, tell me about it?" ”

Shen Mo rolled up the map and frowned rarely.

"The golden hairpin is still the craft of the Boruo royal family, when we were with the Boruo royal family who gave the national gift, he didn't seem to care about political affairs, but was obsessed with carving skills. Later, I asked someone to inquire about the craftsman in the Imperial City, and found that he had a unique twisting technique when carving gold, and he himself had a finger injury, so he would leave special fingerprints on the inner wall of the gold ornament. Turn it over and you'll see it. ”

"Ah, that's the time when I helped the eldest lady ask how to repair the jade bracelet." Xu Ban clenched his right hand into a fist and knocked his left palm, "It's a shame that the general accidentally dropped the bracelet in the first place." ”

Shen Mo choked for a moment, and took out the map again without saying a word.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Xu Ban moved a wooden stool to the table where Shen Mo was sitting, and put on a posture of admitting his mistake.

Shen Mo sighed and gently threw the map in his hand on the table.

"The craftsmanship is Boruogong, but the gold is not Boruo gold, but the Mithril gold of Xiaoxia." He unfolded the map again, and his finger rubbed over the Mithril Gold Mine mark in the northwest of the Royal City of Little Sia, "But in the same way, the Mithril Gold of Little Sia will also be sent to the Kingdom of Chen." ”

"They are sure that I can see the origin of this golden hairpin, and they want to give me the illusion that Boruo and Xiao Xia have joined forces." He paused, "The praying mantis catches the cicada and the yellow finch is behind, we have to thank the county lady, if it weren't for her, I might have fallen into a trap." ”

His fingers paused and landed on the territory of Wanqi, which was half Gobi and half oasis.

Bo Ruo's hairpin head is from left to right, Xiao Xia is from right to left, the Central Plains hairpin is facing up, and Wanqi, the hairpin is facing down, and she is used to inserting obliquely.

and his sister, if it weren't for the fact that she "couldn't get used to" Wanqi's aristocracy and deliberately pushed him to break the jade bracelet, he wouldn't have checked it, and he wouldn't have found out that the Boruo royal family, who didn't care about political affairs and only asked about gold carving, had secret dealings with Wanqi.

"But who is the one who collaborated with the enemy? Does the general have a clue? Xu Ban asked.

"There are a lot of suspicions, but we can't be sure." Shen Mo closed the map: "Follow the map." ”

He stood up, stepped aside, opened the tent and asked the guards:

"The news of Jiang Rong's execution has been confirmed?"

The soldier patted his chest in a clear way: "Make sure the whole city knows about it." Then he remembered something: "And the doctor's son also took it, and they all found a substitute for the dead ghost, and the city didn't let the city know about this." ”

Shen Mo patted him on the shoulder.

"Pass the order, and tomorrow you will order troops to leave for the imperial city."

The soldier was ordered to leave.
