Chapter 122: The undercurrent is surging

Military justice?

As soon as these words came out, everyone was frightened.

Including Hua Meishu, his face turned a little pale, and his fingers clenched and stinged his palms.

When she came, she had expected that the worst result would be nothing more than a trip for nothing, and she never expected to end up like this.

"Chen Mo, what should I do?"

Hua Meishu was really panicked, and couldn't help but lean over.

"It's still the same sentence, if it comes, it will be safe, and there will always be a way."

Yang Qi didn't appear for a long time, and Chen Mo's heart also beat a drum, in order to stabilize everyone, he could only force his composure.

"Lord Hou, there is indeed a secret in this late trip, you only need to find Yang Qi and ask."

"What, are you teaching me to do things?" Hou Yong's face changed, and he snorted disdainfully, "The so-called hidden secret, shouldn't it be that you colluded with Yang Qi to seek personal gain from this trip?" Let him come over and act together to fool the official? ”

"We ......"

Hua Meishu didn't expect the other party to be so shameless, and just wanted to refute, but was stopped by Chen Mo.

signaling her to forbear for the time being, Chen Mo's face also sank.

In this situation, should we tell the truth about the things on the road?

In the end, Chen Mo chose to remain silent.

The other party made it clear that he was deliberately finding fault, and every word he said had the meaning of agitation, obviously digging a pit.

The crux of the problem lies in the fact that the identity of the group of people at the post station has not been raised to this day.

If he dared to say that they were thieves, then Hou Yong could put on a hat again, saying that Chen Mo was questioning the road guards.

And the road guard, who it represents, is self-explanatory.

If they are pretended to be sergeants, it is even worse, and they will definitely be punished with a capital crime at that time.

Anyway, no matter what, you will fall into the trap laid by Hou Yong.

Therefore, the best way is not to answer.

So will Hou Yong agree?

Of course not!

Sure enough, seeing that Chen Mo didn't answer, his face suddenly became gloomy.

"Answer the officer's words, immediately."

"Why didn't you ask Yang Qi?"

Chen Mo's non-answering rhetorical question was not to delay time to think about countermeasures, but to use his strength to make Hou Yong expose his flaws.

If you can't keep it, you can tell Yang Qi's whereabouts.

But Chen Mo still underestimated the old fox, rolled his eyes a few times, and laughed.

"It's been a long time since anyone dared to speak to this officer like this, and since you have such courage, you must not be afraid of military law, right?"

"Come on, take them all down and lock them up, and then make a specific decision after the official has reported this matter to the general."

"Yes."

The guards responded with a bang, and according to Hou Yong's order, they escorted everyone down.

Chen Mo and Hua Meishu were locked in a tent and were impenetrable by the guards.

As for the others, they rushed elsewhere.

is in prison, it is impossible to say that he is not panicked, but for Chen Mo at this time, it is more of a blessing.

Fortunately, he took precautions and sent Pang Randa and others back to Baihe County.

Otherwise, I'm afraid that I have been pinched to death by Hou Yong.

At that point, I really couldn't wash it by jumping into the Yellow River.

"Chen Mo, is Brother Yang also imprisoned?"

After experiencing panic and fear, Hua Meishu has regained her composure.

The left and right have reached this point, instead of speculating about the future in fear, it is better to face it calmly,

Yang Qi's situation is also what Chen Mo is most worried about.

And he had a faint feeling that maybe he was really told by Huameishu, otherwise he couldn't explain the fact that he hadn't shown up so far.

"Meishu, relax for the time being, in a short period of time, our lives will not be in danger."

"What do you mean by that?" Hua Meishu asked.

"What do you think?" Chen Mo asked rhetorically.

The partition wall has ears and has to be guarded against.

Huameishu is so smart, after a little thought, he understood the true meaning of the words, so he lowered his voice and spoke.

"Their real purpose is to get us to hand over the people at the post station, so as to bury the previous incident?"

"That's right." Chen Mo nodded.

"If that is the case, doesn't it confirm your suspicion that those people are going to be pretended to be by the border army, and what is their purpose in doing so? Could it really be as you said, that the mastermind behind the scenes is the Dragon and Tiger Trading Company? ”

"Even if it is, it's just one of them." Chen Mo responded in a low voice, "Before arriving at the fortress, I only thought of the Dragon and Tiger Trading House, after all, on the day of the Hundred Flowers Meeting, Zhou Hu said something like that. But after seeing the surname Hou, I don't think it's that simple. ”

"What do you see?" Huameishu asked.

"Kill two birds with one stone." Chen Mo truthfully said what he thought in his heart, "After the accident at the post station, you went to the house to check on the situation of the coachmen, and I had a deep conversation with Brother Yang at that time, and I talked about the grim situation here. ”

"Chen Mo, do you mean to say that the affairs of the post station are not just aimed at us?" Hua Meishu said clearly, "Someone wants to take advantage of that matter to clean up here, so Brother Yang hasn't appeared for a long time?" ”

"Not bad." Chen Mo nodded, "This matter is no longer something that Brother Yang can manage, if it is expected, even the people behind Brother Yang have been implicated, and we are just the ones who accompanied the death." ”

"I didn't expect it to be so serious." Hua Meishu asked with a pale face, "Anyway, the top priority is to get in touch with Brother Yang as soon as possible." But now that we're all locked up, how do we get the word out? ”

“……”

Chen Mo was speechless and couldn't give any answers.

Buyers?

Obviously, it is impossible, I can think that Hou Yong must have taken precautions a long time ago.

The people guarding outside are definitely his cronies.

What to do?

Chen Mo's heart is bottomless for the first time.

And Huamei Books also fell into deep worry.

The atmosphere inside the tent is oppressive to the extreme.

It wasn't until the sky became dark and footsteps sounded outside that Chen Mo and Hua Meishu cheered up.

The curtain opened, and three people entered.

The leader was the black-faced lieutenant, carrying a jar of wine in his hand, followed by two people, carrying a fairly sumptuous meal.

"You guys get out."

Sending the two away, the black-faced lieutenant opened the wine.

"Lord Hou asked me to convey a few words to the two of you, those who know the times are Junjie, as long as you are willing to abandon the dark and turn to the light, everything is easy to discuss."

"What does it mean to abandon darkness and turn to light?"

Afraid of something, Chen Mo felt more and more that there was a turbulent undercurrent in the fortress.

"Your question, I can't answer." The black-faced lieutenant said, "I'm from Rong, and I just carry out orders. The words have been brought, and the two of them use it slowly. ”

"Chen Mo, eat."

Hua Meishu didn't bother to answer, grabbed a lamb rib with his left hand, and took out the dagger in his arms with his right hand.

The original intention was to cut the meat, but when the dagger fell into the eyes of the black-faced captain, the taste of the meal suddenly became different.

"How can this thing be in your hands?"
