Chapter 52: Investigation (Part II)
As soon as Zhao Si left, the cold atmosphere in the camp tent suddenly eased.
"Jiang Bo, what the hell are you kid doing? It's just investigating the origin of a recruit, as for finding out the details of Zhao Si so clearly?" He always felt that these two Yulinwei officers were making a bit of a fuss, whether it was to Mo Cong or Zhao Si.
"Senior brother, this is a matter that His Majesty has confessed, how dare I slack off!" The officer named Jiang Bo, the one who had been asking questions just now, said with a serious face. He and Lei Bao are brothers-in-law, and the two are close and have a good relationship, so they talk more casually. "What are the characteristics or weirdness of that Mo Cong's skills? Senior brother, Xu Guandao, you are all masters, and you have all seen him do it with others, you can talk about it. ”
Lei Leopard Xu Hu said one after another, Mo Cong's skills have no characteristics, and there is nothing weird, and the only advantage is that he has great strength.
"He's not even very familiar with chopping right now, I'm worried, when will he get on the horse?" said Lei Leopard, talking about the most worrying thing in the past few days.
"That's a bad idea. There is a big difference between a Trojan horse and a real war horse, one is dead and still, and the other is able to run, jump and stumble. If you wait for him to practice on the wooden horse before letting him get on the horse, and when you ride a real war horse, you have to practice from scratch, don't you take off your pants and fart?" Xu Hu looked at Lei Leopard with disdain, blaming Lei Leopard for having a bad idea, and the training plan he made for Mo Cong was not scientific at all.
"Hey, too. Then I'll make a wooden knife today, and I'll let him get on the horse tomorrow. "Lei Leopard is also a person who knows a little bit, and when he heard what Xu Hu said, he immediately came up with a better way.
"Two, please don't think so out, okay?" Jiang Bo said with a wry smile: "The two of us are waiting here stupidly for you to come to a conclusion, but you will jump to the training thing at once." Let's first bring the topic back to the aspect of identity and origin, and then discuss the issue of training, shall we?"
"If you want to talk about the conclusion, my conclusion is: Brother Mo Cong is fine. Huzi, what do you say?" Lei Bao said his opinion very seriously and seriously, and then asked Xu Hu's opinion.
"I also think Brother Mo Cong is fine. Xu Hu said categorically: "You have all heard Zhao Si's words just now, the Mo Cong brothers love the people of Ruiguo more than our soldiers, what can be the problem of letting such a person protect the family and defend the country?"
"There's really nothing wrong with that. But the question is, what if he is Ding Long's man? What if he is deliberately acting on the street to attract your attention, and then take the opportunity to blend in with your team?" Jiang Bo looked at Lei Bao and Xu Hu and asked.
"Here it is again, what kind of Ding Long's people? You have been talking all morning, is there any evidence?" said Lei Leopard pouted.
"It's because there is no evidence that I came to investigate. Jiang Bo said with blazing eyes.
"What do you check if you don't have any evidence?" Lei Bao glared impatiently and said: "The current Central Army is less than 120,000 people, and even the original guards can't get together. If you have any basis and say that according to such and such facts, this person is Ding Long's person and must be taken out, then I can still understand it. You're fine now, you can't ask anything suspicious after asking for a long time, but you have to check it. According to your approach, every recruit to be recruited cannot rule out suspicion in this regard, so will our Central Army still recruit people?"
"Brother Jiang Bo, as far as I know, the Black Mountain Province is not Ding Long's old sphere of influence, so I don't think it's necessary to worry about this. Xu Hu also helped on the side.
"Well, I know you're all in a bad mood. In this case, I will report to Your Majesty the original situation I have investigated today, and it is difficult to say how Your Majesty decides. Jiang Bo exhaled and said.
Lei Bao walked over and patted Jiang Bo on the shoulder and said, "Senior brother, after you go back, in addition to reporting what you have investigated, you will also tell your Majesty what I just said as it is." His Majesty is a reasonable person, and this country is their own family, and he will not fail to understand the truth that when the water is clear, there are no fish. ”
"Okay, I'll tell you what I said. Jiang Bo nodded.

Thousands of miles away in Montenegro, a similar investigation is underway.
In the small mountain village at the foot of Montenegro, the intelligence office and the people of Yu Linwei appeared on the stage, asking the villagers here door to door.
Uncle Li, a villager, had breakfast and was grinding rice on the stone mill in the small courtyard when suddenly two officers in armor and knives came in.
"Fellow, I'll ask you about something. Was there a child named Mu in our village more than ten years ago?" one of the officers asked kindly.
"Wood?" Uncle Li was stunned for a moment, stopped pushing and grinding, and said, "We used to have a child named Mu here, who was an orphan who grew up eating hundreds of meals in our village. ”
"Oh, do you know where this wood is now?" the officer asked again.
"I don't know. Uncle Li shook his head and said, "That kid left our small mountain village when he was six years old, and according to other children in the village, he was captured by the old demon of Montenegro. But what the kid left for himself said was that he had gone to Montenegro to practice kung fu. I don't know exactly what's going on. ”
"Is that the mountain?" the officer asked, pointing to the tall mountain at the end of his field of vision.
"Isn't that mountain!" Uncle Li said proudly: "Our Black Mountain in Rui Country is the only one, and there is no other branch." Our Montenegrin province is named after this mountain. "I feel very proud to live in this place.
"Can you tell us more about the man Wood?" the officer asked again.
"I can't say anything about that. Uncle Li's face flushed, "Although the kid grew up eating hundreds of meals in our village, he really doesn't eat much in our house." The main thing is that our family was also living tightly, this... Ahem... Sometimes I can't help if I want to. The more he talked, the more ashamed he became, as if he didn't often call wood to come to the house for dinner, and after so many years, he still felt a little sorry in his heart. "Why don't you go to Zhang Liangmin's house in the west of the village and ask, Mu used to eat at their house, and they know better than me. He said.
The officer, however, asked a few more questions, such as whether the wood had ever returned, whether he had seen wood on the Black Mountain, and so on, and then turned to leave.
"What's wrong with this kid Mu? Why did someone just come to ask about him a few days ago, and now he's asking again?" Uncle Li muttered to himself as he continued to push the bluestone mill rice.
