Chapter 102: The Consequences of Concealing the Facts
"No!!"
Mo Zechen's speed of speech was very fast, and he didn't give Lin Qing time to think.
Lin Qing was carried away by Mo Zechen's successive suspicious questions, and retorted without thinking.
"I'm not lying, they are indeed corrupt, and there are not small amounts."
"Three years ago, there was a period of time when people often disappeared in Xuancheng, and the government never found anyone, because they were taken away by the people from the government!!"
"The disappearance of the people in the city and the embezzlement are actually ······"
The more Lin Qing spoke, the more excited he became, until he inadvertently raised his head and saw Mo Zechen's cold and somewhat knowing eyes, his throat seemed to be choked, and he couldn't say a word.
Lin Qing covered his mouth and lowered his head, looking a little flustered.
Mo Zechen chuckled, stopped tapping, and said lightly, "You really are hiding something." ”
"What are the people of the government taking away those young adults for, since you know, can you say it now?"
Lin Qing pursed her lips tightly and did not speak, and a trace of chagrin crossed her eyes.
seemed to be complaining that he didn't calm down just now, and was actually stimulated by Mo Zechen's words to say something that shouldn't be said.
"People disappeared three years ago, and in the two years since, there have been no large-scale disappearances in Xuancheng."
Lin Qing didn't speak, Mo Zechen guessed by himself.
His gaze had always fallen on Lin Qing's body, and judging whether he had guessed correctly based on the change in Lin Qing's expression.
"Could it be that there are your relatives among the missing people, and you accidentally found out that this matter is related to the government, but you, an ordinary person, can't go against the government, so you can only find another way and choose to go to Beijing to file a complaint."
Mo Zechen saw the disdain flashing in Lin Qing's eyes, and raised his eyebrows.
"This king guessed wrong?"
"That's strange, if it's not for relatives, you shouldn't even want your life for a group of irrelevant people, and almost died on the way to Beijing to file a complaint."
"Are you sure you don't make it clear to this king?"
"The villain has nothing to say."
Mo Zechen looked at Lin Qing's uncooperative appearance, and a faint sense of irritability rose in his heart.
Obviously, Lin Qing went to the capital to complain by himself, which shows that Lin Qing also hopes that he can find out something.
But when it came to the end, Lin Qing was like a turtle with a shrunken head, refusing to say anything.
"Lin Qing, if you don't say anything, if this king doesn't find any problems, then this king may report this matter to His Majesty at any time."
Mo Zechen suppressed the irritability in his heart. Tell Lin Qing in a cold voice the consequences of continuing to hide what he knows.
"At that time, if Your Majesty agrees to close the case of this king, then you will be imprisoned for reporting false cases and slandering officials."
"And the officials of Xuancheng, because this investigation did not find any problems, they will not be punished in any way, and even His Majesty may misunderstand them this time and let them be promoted, is this what you want?"
Mo Zechen thought that he had said it to this point, if Lin Qing was a smart person, he should know what to do the most correct.
Who would have thought that Lin Qing still lowered his head, and he didn't have the slightest intention of explaining.
"Forget it, if you change your mind, come to this king and go out."
Mo Zechen exhaled a breath of turbidity, waved his hand, and let Lin Qing out.
He didn't want to see Lin Qing now, and he felt bad when he saw it!
"Lord Wang, what are we going to do next?"
After Lin Qing walked out, the shadow guarding the door outside the house walked in.
He heard the conversation between the prince and Lin Qing just now, and Lin Qing didn't cooperate with them for some reason, so he hid something from them.
In the case that the person who reported the crime has something to hide, the direction of their investigation may deviate at any time, which will most likely lead to the consequence that they are now doing useless work.
"Shadow, you go to investigate the case of the disappearance of the people of Xuancheng three years ago, see what is going on, and be specific."
Mo Zechen paused and continued.
"If you can't get useful information from the mouths of the people, I allow you to infiltrate the government and check the archives of the government back then, but make sure you don't find out."
"Yes, Lord Wang!"
With the prince's orders, the shadow also has a direction for what will happen next.
Mo Zechen didn't wait for news at the inn, and after leaving a few people to pay attention to Lin Qing's movements in the inn, he took someone out to inquire about the news.
"Master, where are we going?"
Outside the house, the guards also changed their names to Mo Zechen.
Mo Zechen opened his mouth and said, "Go to the village where Lin Qing's house is located." ”
Before coming to Xuancheng, they had already investigated Lin Qing's person, and naturally knew Lin Qing's original residence in Xuancheng.
When Mo Zechen took people to the village where Lin Qing was originally located in a carriage, Mo Zechen arranged two people to join the team of the ladies at the entrance of the village to talk about their parents' shortcomings.
After a while, the guards came over and told Mo Zechen that Lin Qing's house was in the village.
The group went straight to Lin Qing's house, Lin Qing's home seemed to have been uninhabited for a long time, and a thick layer of spider webs formed at the gate.
Mo Zechen pushed the door straight and walked in, giving his subordinates a look, and the subordinates immediately chose a room to go in to see if they could find any useful clues.
Mo Zechen did not enter the house, but looked around the courtyard, and finally found some unburned paper money next to the well at the back of the courtyard.
Mo Zechen bent down and picked up the paper money that had been burned to only one-third of it, and after looking at it for a while, his sword eyebrows furrowed.
Odd.
Whether it is the gate outside the courtyard or the house in the courtyard, there is a thick layer of dust in Lin Qing's house.
This means that Lin Qing's family has not lived for a long time, so there is so much dust.
He has been in Xuancheng for about half a month, and he has the impression that there have been two heavy rains in Xuancheng, and there is no shelter in this backyard.
If this was paper money that had been burned before, it would not have been so clean.
Could it be that someone has come here recently to burn paper money?
But when he came in, the cobwebs at the door were intact, and if someone came in through the gate, the cobwebs at the door should be broken.
I didn't come in through the gate, but where did I come in?
Mo Zechen's brows furrowed slightly, he looked around, and suddenly noticed the low wall, and instantly had an answer in his heart.
Could it be that they came in over the wall?
What kind of person doesn't go through the door, but wants to climb over the wall to get in, is it unseemly?
Or is it that you are doing something that is not seeing?!
"What people!!"
When Mo Zechen was pondering, he suddenly heard the scolding of his subordinates, he came back to his senses and hurriedly turned around and walked back.
"What's going on?"
When Mo Zechen walked over, he saw that his guards were restraining a swarthy middle-aged man to prevent him from escaping.
