On the night when the man in black broke into the palace and robbed the prison, the prefect's mansion was noisy and chaotic. Mo Zhifu woke up from his sleep again, ran out of the room despite his messy clothes, and was about to reprimand everyone who made a noise in the middle of the night, but Mo Niancong, who woke up one step ahead of him, stepped forward to stop him. "Dad, there is time to blame them, and the first thing to do now is to plan how to capture the prison robbers!"

“…… Prison robbery?! Nian Cong, this ...... What's going on? Mo Zhifu lost his sleep after hearing this, and looked at his son with wide eyes in disbelief.

Mo Niancong sighed lightly, and pieced together the confessions obtained by the panicked officials who had just interrogated them with his own inferences, and told Mo Zhifu in detail.

After hearing this, Mo Zhifu suddenly felt that his eyes were dark, and he fainted. Seeing this, Mo Niancong hurriedly stepped forward to help, but Mo Zhifu was wide and fat, how could Mo Niancong be able to support it, and when the two fathers and sons were about to fall to the ground, the head catcher arrived in time and grabbed Mo Zhifu's shoulder, Mo Niancong stabilized his footsteps and did not fall.

After the head catcher and Mo Niancong worked together to carry Mo Zhifu back to the room, they gathered the people who could be in charge of the government to the study to discuss.

After running hard for more than an hour, he was really tired and thirsty when he arrived in the study, and when he arrived in the study, he changed his normal behavior, and sat on the chair without saying a word and poured tea in his mouth. Mo Niancong saw that he was old but still tired of running around for the government, so he felt compassion and left with him.

After resting for half a pillar of incense, the head catcher finally adjusted his breathing, got up and knelt down to Mo Niancong to plead guilty. "The subordinates are not as good as others, and they have failed to capture the fugitives and prison robbers, and they are willing to be punished!"

Mo Niancong hurriedly stepped forward to help him up: "If it weren't for the strong martial arts of head-hunting, just by the people in the palace, I'm afraid I wouldn't even be able to see the figure of the man in black, I can only sigh that the person who robbed the prison has made a light achievement, how can I blame the head-hunting for this!" ”

Seeing Mo Niancong's sincere eyes, the head catcher had no choice but to help him up and sit back on the chair. "So far, I don't know what Mo Shilang's good plan is? It's not that I want to boast about Haikou, it's just that even I can't catch up with them, and I'm afraid the rest of the government can't rely on them. ”

Mo Niancong frowned, pondered for a long time, and then said slowly: "Even if you send someone to chase after you now, it will be difficult to find a trace, not to mention that those black-clothed people are strong in martial arts, as the head catcher said, there is really no one to find in the mansion that can be matched...... For today's plan, the only way to find the mastermind behind the scenes and subdue him with the royal law is the right way. ”

When everyone in the room heard this, they all felt reasonable, and nodded in agreement.

The master who was hiding on the side straightened his clothes, stepped forward with his head held high, and took the lead in answering: "Mo Shilang is wise!" According to the experience of the subordinate officials over the years, most of the prisoners were relatives and friends of the prisoners, and the intention was to save the prisoners from the suffering of prison or punishment. The emperor ordered that the case should be concluded within a month, and it was less than half a month before the deadline today, so the lower officials dared to guess that the prisoner Ning Yue's relatives and friends couldn't hold it back, and hired a murderer to do it! ”

Hearing that the master was so sure, everyone who had no clue nodded in agreement. Only the head catcher and Mo Niancong just looked at the master's arrogant appearance fixedly, noncommittal.

After a while, Mo Niancong said unhurriedly: "What the master said is not unreasonable, but this matter cannot be speculated, after all, whether the purpose of the person robbing the prison is to save people or destroy the mouth, it is still unknown, if you only think that this matter is done by the relatives and friends of the prisoner, it may lead the search in the wrong direction, I don't know if you agree?" After speaking, he glanced at everyone in the hall, saw that everyone was at a loss, looked at each other, sighed helplessly, turned his head to look at the two officials on duty tonight on death row and said sharply: "Listen to the report, the two of them neglected their duties when they were on duty, so that the prisoner was robbed and failed to report in time, what should be the crime!" ”

The two of them were shocked when they heard this, and they didn't care about the dizziness due to the unsolved sweat medicine, and hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed, and one of them shouted loudly: "My lord, I'm angry!" You can't blame the villains for this! It was the deceitful men in black who used sweat medicine to stun everyone in the prison, and then robbed the prisoners without realizing it! ”

The other hurriedly responded: "Yes! Right! Exactly! If you don't believe me, you can go to the cell and see the prisoners who are still asleep! If it hadn't been for another brother who came and poured water on us both of us, we would still be unconscious! ”

Mo Niancong looked at the two with wet hair, nodded, and continued: "In this way, the prisoner Ning Yue must have been in a coma at that time, even if she wanted to call for help, she was powerless...... Mo Niancong clearly knew that when the man in black robbed the prison, if Ning Yue called for help, he would be unable to escape from prison, and if not, he would be regarded as a fugitive. Mo Niancong believes that Ning Yue is by no means a person who ignores the law and discipline, so this prison robbery must have nothing to do with her, why the prison robbers can only be found out slowly, but it is indeed urgent to clear up the relationship between Ning Yue and the gang of men in black.

"I also agree with Mo Shilang's words." The head catcher cast an appreciative look at Mo Niancong, and continued: "On the way to the black-clothed man robbing the prison, the pedestrian accidentally knocked down a copper basin shelf, and it was common for him to make mistakes due to panic when fleeing for his life, but since he saw their light skills and strain skills, he knew that they were by no means a rabble, and they would never be so careless when no one was chasing them, and they collided with such a big thing as a shelf, thinking that it was very likely that the prisoner Ning Yue had no way to ask for help, so he had to knock it down and make a sound, so as to attract the attention of the people in the government. ”

Mo Niancong was very satisfied after hearing this, Xiaoyue, you really didn't disappoint me......

After hearing this, the master stepped forward again, grabbed his goatee and said: "Since the head catcher deduces that the prisoner Ning Yue tried to ask for help, it can be determined that the person who masterminded the robbery is not her relatives and friends, and there are only a few people related to this case...... In this way, the Lord makes people want to come out! ”

When the crowd heard this, they immediately clapped their hands.

Mo Niancong sighed again when he saw this, stretched out his hand to stop everyone from coaxing, and said slowly: "There has been no progress in this case so far, seeing that the deadline is approaching, and the death penalty of the prisoner is inevitable, even if Lord Duan is eager to avenge his son, there is really no need to take such a risk." However, since this is a possibility, we should also find out. However, we cannot exclude the suspicion of relatives and friends of a prisoner because he asked the government for help at the time of the robbery, and if the master of the robbery did not consult with the prisoner and sent someone to act, it is not unreasonable for the prisoner to struggle. Therefore, on behalf of the prefect, this official ordered the master and the head catcher to each take a team of people to collect evidence from Duanfu and Ningfu immediately. ”

Immediately the people took the command and left.
