Chapter 51: Investigation (I)

The imperial court's investigation into Mo Cong's identity was carried out in two places at the same time. One place is the station of the Zuowei Third Battalion where Mo Cong is now, and the other place is the Black Mountain Province thousands of miles away.

One morning, the sergeants of the Leopard Battalion were practicing on the school ground, when suddenly an officer from the Pioneer Battalion came over and took Zhao Si away.

"Zhao Si, what did you do again?"

"Who knows, that kid is so arrogant all day, maybe he poked some basket again. ”

......

A group of veterans looked at Zhao Si's departing back and talked about it.

Zhao Si himself was also nervous. He thought to himself: I haven't done anything out of the ordinary lately, I was on the street once that day, but when I came back, I had already received twenty military sticks. What, isn't it endless?

Thinking of this, Zhao Si was so bitter in his heart that he hated Mo Cong to the extreme.

The two soon came to the deputy commander's tent, and the pioneer battalion officer asked Zhao Si to hurry in, while he stayed outside to stand guard.

Zhao Si had no choice but to open the curtain of the camp tent in fright. As soon as he entered the camp tent, he quickly glanced around, and saw He Ming, the deputy commander of the left guard, sitting in the center in front of the conference table, Xu Hu and Lei Bao sitting on the right side, and two Yulinwei officers sitting on the left.

Seeing that there were no tall and ruthless gendarmes in the camp tent, Zhao Si felt a little more steady. He stood respectfully at the entrance of the tent and stumbled, "Ladies and gentlemen... Okay, I don't know how to shout the little one, come here, there is... What are the commands?"

"Sit!"

He Ming looked at the position of the lower head on the other side of the table and motioned for Zhao Si to sit down.

Seeing He Ming's impassive appearance, Zhao Si's slightly relieved heart hung again. He hesitated to sit down in that position, his ass only touching the edge of the chair, trembling as if he was ready to run away. Looking at the past from his point of view, He Ming, Lei Bao, and Xu Hu, the three senior generals of the Central Army, as well as the two Yulinwei officers, were all serious and expressionless, and the position where they were sitting faintly formed a posture of interrogation against Zhao Si.

"Zhao Si, I called you over today to ask you about something. He Ming said with a serious expression: "You must answer all the questions you will ask truthfully, and you are not allowed to exaggerate or conceal them at will, otherwise it will be a big crime of bullying the king and killing your head, you know?"

"Know... Got it. Zhao Sizhan replied tremblingly, and everyone was about to fall off the chair.

The posture is so frightening, what is this to ask? I usually like to be greedy for a little cheap, but I haven't done anything hurtful! Why is it that even the emperor is alarmed?

He thought to himself.

"Two, let's get started. He Ming said to the two Yulinwei officers.

"Okay!" A Yulinwei officer nodded politely to He Ming, then turned his head to look at Zhao Si and asked, "Zhao Si, do you know Mo Cong?"

"Know, know!" Zhao Si nodded hurriedly in reply.

"How did you meet him?" the officer asked again.

"Mo Cong is... It's our Leopard Battalion who has only been here for a few days, so we... We've got to know each other. Zhao Si had a ghost in his heart, and said stumblingly.

"Before he came to the Leopard Camp, did you see him?" Seeing Zhao Si's answer, the officer of the Yulin Guard suddenly became fierce.

Zhao Si is also a veteran of the battlefield, and at this time, he was glared at by the other party's substantial gaze, but he was suddenly frightened and trembled in his heart. He quickly replied honestly: "Before that...... On the day we first arrived in the capital, we met on the street...... I've seen it once. Then he gave a general account of the situation of the day, saying that they were marching at that time, and Mo Cong and the three suddenly ran over to stop the military horse, and kicked themselves to the ground with a stone.

"Why did Mo Cong stop the military horse at that time, why did he kick you to the ground?" The officer of the Yulin Guard suddenly felt a little impatient in his tone when he saw that Zhao Si was still reserved.

"At the time, he... He... I..."Zhao Sizhi hesitated for a while, glanced at Lei Bao again, and then said stubbornly: "At that time, we had no money on us, and we couldn't settle the bill after lunch, so Mo Cong stopped there and didn't let us go." I was in a hurry to get on the road, so I drew my knife and tried to scare him. Who knew he... And he kicked up a stone, and broke my sword, and kicked me over. ”

"What kind of move did he use when he kicked the stone, and how did you feel when the stone hit you?" the officer of the Feather Forest Guard asked again.

Seeing that the other party did not delve into the problem of not giving money after eating and casually pulling out a knife to cut people, but bypassed this topic and directly asked Mo Cong the specific details of kicking the stone, Zhao Si was stunned for a moment.

What do you mean? Why did this Yulinwei officer ask a series of questions one after another, all of them revolved around Mo Cong? His mind turned sharply, and he thought: Could it be that they know that Mo Cong is good at it, and want to promote Mo Cong to be an officer? Well, if this is the case, I can't fulfill that kid's wish.

Thinking of this, Zhao Si replied: "He just kicked like that in a daze, and he didn't have any specific moves." The stone hit me, and I didn't feel anything other than the force I felt. ”

"Oh, so did you fight him other than the one you kicked the rock?" asked the officer in hot pursuit.

"After that...... After that, Mo Cong came to the leopard camp, and I learned from him once. Zhao Si replied.

"What do you think of his sword skills after the fight?" asked the officer of the Feather Forest Guard.

"It's not good, Mo Cong doesn't know how to use a knife at all, and he can't even hold a knife. When I was sparring, I was completely chopping and chopping, without any rules. Zhao Si replied disdainfully.

......

The two of them asked and answered like this, He Ming, Xu Hu, and Lei Bao listened expressionlessly beside them, and another Yulinwei officer was in charge of taking notes.

After asking a few more questions, the officer who asked the question stopped talking, and the officer in charge of recording the Yulinwei took the record book and asked Zhao Si to sign his name, and then sent Zhao Si out.

Zhao Si got up from his chair with a sigh of relief and was about to walk out.

"Wait a minute!" shouted the officer in charge of the question, "All the questions asked today, including the matter of calling you for questioning itself, are top secret. If you dare to leak half a word in front of people, be careful of the heads of your family of seventeen. ”

Listening to the other party's cold words, Zhao Si suddenly shuddered. He has parents and a wife and children, as well as several brothers and sisters, nieces and nieces, and a total of more than a dozen people, scattered in the capital and many provinces of Ruiguo. Zhao Si himself had to count with his fingers to figure out how many people there were in their family, but the other party opened his mouth and said the number "seventeen", obviously knowing his details in advance.

What is the origin of this Yulin Guard officer?

Zhao Si was shocked and frightened.

If the other party was the intelligence leader Yan Tao or one of Yan Tao's subordinates, he would not be so surprised. Because the intelligence department is originally doing this, it is the strength of people to use the eyes all over the world to collect all kinds of intelligence.

The person in front of him was obviously an officer of Yulinwei.

Did Yu Linwei also start collecting intelligence? Or maybe they had the intelligence department check it out before they came to interrogate themselves?

Is it worth spending so much effort to find out how many people in the family are so clear?

Zhao Si was confused for a while.

He trembled and said a few words of assurance, such as "I will never dare to divulge", and then stood up and ran for his life and walked out of the tent. Looking at the blue sky outside, Zhao Si only felt like a world away, and a layer of cold sweat broke out on his back.
