In the extremely hot noon, there was not a trace of clouds in the sky, there was not a trace of breeze in the space, and the air seemed to be stagnant.

A gust of wind blew, and a wave of heat rolled up on the ground, and the fire burned so hot that it was difficult to breathe.

After Chen Mo looted the salt warehouse last night, he returned to the village and it was almost dawn, took a bath, and after absorbing the purple qi of the sun in the morning, he took the Shen Yong Wei, who did not participate in the action last night, and three hundred Shen Wu Wei, and took the two live mouths that he caught last night and went to Qingting County.

That's right, Chen Mo's main focus is a first lawsuit.

In the lobby of the Yamen of Qingting County, the two pillars of light of the scorching sun pass through the eaves, like two transparent gold bands, shining with dots of dust inside, spreading outside the lobby, and half of them have passed through the threshold.

Chen Mo sat down, took a sip of tea, and looked up at Yuan Youchun above, who had a red number of "228" on the other party's head.

Obviously, the strength is lower than Cui Shuang.

Bai Qi sat opposite him, looking at Chen Mo with a leisurely look, he couldn't help frowning, and said, "This commander hasn't gone to look for you yet, but I didn't expect to send it to the door." ”

Chen Mo put down the teacup, ignored Bai Qi, looked at Yuan Youchun who looked up, and said, "Yuan Youchun, the first time we met, Chen was polite." ”

After speaking, Chen Mo arched his hand at Yuan Youchun.

Yuan Youchun didn't like this, and said coldly: "Shao Teniang is polite to Lao Tzu, you came just in time, Lao Tzu just happened to have something to find you." ”

Yuan Youchun was born as a bandit, he was a bandit, he was already on fire when He Jinwu was killed, and that kind of thing happened last night, how could he have a good attitude towards Chen Mo.

Su Wen, who was standing behind Chen Mo, frowned, and just as he was about to draw his knife, Chen Mo raised his hand and said, "Hugh is rude." ”

After that, Chen Mo smiled and said: "That's great, it just so happens that Chen also has something to ask General Yuan." ”

After that, Chen Mo clapped his hands, and the four brave guards escorted the two who were caught alive last night into the lobby.

As soon as the two people entered the lobby, they were escorted to kneel down by the people of the brave guards, and Bai Qi's face changed slightly when he saw the two.

Chen Mo said: "General Yuan, last night our people found that there was a group of thieves outside Liucun who were stealing rice, and when they saw our people, they turned around and ran.

They called themselves Liu Shi and Liu Tong, soldiers of the Hujie Army under General Yuan, and last night, under the leadership of Commander Bai, they went to Pingting County to cut grain."

As he spoke, Chen Mo looked at Bai Qi: "Commander Bai, I don't know if there is such a thing?" ”

Bai Qian was slightly stunned, he understood why Chen Mo came, he took advantage of it last night, not to mention, he dared to come over to Xingshi today to ask for the guilt.

There are such bold and reckless people.

Bai Qi didn't answer in a hurry, but glanced at Yuan Youchun at the top.

Yuan Youchun also frowned, and secretly said in his heart that Chen Mo was too arrogant, and said, "What do you mean by this?" ”

"General Yuan, don't get me wrong, it stands to reason that Chen did not suspect General Yuan, after all, with General Yuan's character, Chen felt that he should not be able to do such a shameless and shameless thing.

But these two people have always claimed to be General Yuan's people, in order to investigate this matter clearly, not to wronged General Yuan, and for the sake of not repeating the matter of He Ling, if the two are really General Yuan's people, then just return it to General Yuan, if not"

Chen Mo picked up the teacup again, took a sip of tea, and said, "Su Wen, I bother you to use the knife, lest some cats and dogs come to pretend to be General Yuan's people, which will cause a lot of trouble to General Yuan." ”

"No." Su Wen stared at the two with murderous intent.

"The general saves me, and the white commander saves me."

After Liu Shi and Liu Tong were captured last night, they didn't suffer much last night, and when they heard Chen Mo's words at this moment, they were immediately frightened and asked Yuan Youchun and Bai Qi for help.

Yuan Youchun and Bai Qi's faces sank.

However, stealing food is sneaky, so naturally it can't be brought to the surface.

And the above has already spoken, He Jinwu's matter has ended, and now this thing is happening again, if you stab it, whose face is this?

So, of course, it can't be admitted.

Yuan Youchun gave Bai Qi a look.

Bai Qi immediately said: "Boy, don't just find two people to pretend to be people under the general's command, our Hujie Army, naturally there is no such person." ”

Hearing this, Chen Mo didn't speak, Liu Shi and Liu Tong were anxious, and hurriedly said: "Commander Bai, it's me, I'm Liu Shi/Liu Tong, I also talked to you last night, you took us to Pingting County to steal grain, you can save me."

"Shut up, bold thief, don't bite indiscriminately, this commander doesn't know you."

“.”

Chen Mo was drinking tea on the side, watching quietly, knowing that the other party would not admit it, and immediately raised his hand.

Su Wen understood, drew his knife and stepped forward.

"Drag it outside, don't dirty General Yuan's ground." Chen Mo said.

"No." Su Wen took the brave guards and dragged the two out of the lobby.

Soon, Su Wen walked back again, and there was still a trace of blood on his face.

Chen Mo took out a handkerchief from his sleeve basket and handed it to Su Wen, saying, "Don't be careful, wipe it." ”

"County Magistrate Xie." Su Wen was not pretentious, and took it and wiped it.

Chen Mo then looked at Yuan Youchun and said, "It seems that it is a thief who fakes, it is really bold, even General Yuan's people dare to fake it." ”

Speaking of this, Chen Mo dusted off the dust that fell on his body and said, "By the way, when Chen came over, I heard that General Yuan's salt warehouse was also robbed. He sighed and continued: "General Yuan, you said that this thief who robbed the salt warehouse couldn't be a group of people who stole rice from my Pingting County, right?" ”

"Shao Teniang's pretending to be here, how dare a thief rob the salt warehouse of my Hujie army, it is obviously you thief shouting to catch a thief, this commander will definitely report this matter to Qu Shuai and punish you."

Bai Qian saw that Chen Mo got a cheap price to come to Xingshi to ask for the guilt, and he actually shamelessly pushed the matter of the thief and the salt warehouse to them, and immediately slapped the table and stood up, pointing at Chen Mo angrily.

"Presumptuous." A majestic innate aura rippled out from Chen Mo's body, and as soon as Yuan Youchun reacted, Bai Qi was suppressed and sat down on his knees, and when Chen Mo let go of the teacup, this suppression stopped.

His eyes swept lightly to Bai Qi, and said: "In terms of level, I want to be one level higher than you, in terms of strength, I am also stronger than you, you were disrespectful to me before, I have spared you once, you still dare to commit a crime, this time is a lesson, and next time, I will not be spared."

"You're presumptuous." It depends on the owner to beat the dog, and now the other party still comes to the door to beat the dog, if Yuan Youchun doesn't care anymore, who will obey him.

He snorted softly and slowly stood up, and a stream of earthy yellow innate aura swept out of his body, but at the moment he just left his body, a more majestic innate aura covered his head, making him sit down again.

"I think General Yuan should dissipate his anger first, the salt warehouse was robbed, which Chen doesn't want to see, so let's discuss how to catch the thief." Chen Mo drank the tea in the teacup in one gulp.

If it weren't for the fact that Yuan Youchun and Yang Minggui were too close, and killing him would cause unnecessary trouble, Chen Mo would definitely not keep him.

Yuan Youchun, who sat down, looked shocked, although he didn't really fight, but judging from the situation just now, he made a judgment at a glance.

"Okay, good, what a young hero." Yuan Youchun was deflated, his face was bitter gourd-colored, and his words were full of coldness.

But Chen Mo didn't seem to hear Yuan Youchun's words, and said:

"Last night, the rice under Chen's rule was just stolen, and our people chased them all the way into Qingting County, and then your salt warehouse was robbed, so Chen has reason to suspect that this is a group of people. Therefore, Chen asked General Yuan to investigate with us, find out this group of thieves as soon as possible, and arrest them. ”

After speaking, Chen Mo looked at Bai Qian with a black face and said, "If Commander Bai suspects Chen, you can come up with evidence, but don't wronged Chen." ”

The people guarding the salt warehouse were all killed, and there was not a single eyewitness, where did the evidence come from.

Bai Qi was a little dumbfounded, but he still insisted on: "You dare to swear that you didn't do the robbery of the salt warehouse?" ”

"It's not." Chen Mo said calmly.

"You swear."

"Don't you think you're naïve?"

Looking away from Bai Qi, Chen Mo looked at General Yuan again and said, "What does General Yuan think of my proposal?" ”

"Hmph, what happened in Qingting County, General Ben will investigate it himself, so I won't bother County Magistrate Chen to worry about it." Yuan Youchun snorted coldly: "Send off." ”

He felt that if he didn't let Chen Mo go, he wouldn't be able to control the anger in his heart, so he would do something out of the ordinary.

"Ugh." Chen Mo sighed and said, "Since General Yuan has no intention, then forget it, but when Chen finds out who the group of thieves who steal the rice is, he will definitely tell General Yuan." ”

With that, Chen Mo stood up and walked towards the outside of the lobby.

Su Wen immediately followed.

However, a group of Hujie troops blocked the door.

Su Wen's face changed, and he quickly took out the Tang knife on his back and handed it to Chen Mo.

Chen Mo didn't answer, but looked back at Yuan Youchun and said calmly: "What does General Yuan mean by this?" ”

"What do you want to do, rebel? Let them go. Yuan Youchun scolded, and he didn't know who he was angry at.

In this way, Chen Mo left the lobby with people.

After Chen Mo left, Bai Qi said a little unwillingly: "General, just let them go?" When I came, my subordinates saw it, and they brought more than 1,000 people.

Bai Qi gestured around his neck.

"Do you think that since people dare to come, haven't they considered leaving? The big war is coming, if you and I start the war first, if we don't stay at that time, Qu Shuai will blame him, who will bear it? Yuan Youchun said.

He was even a little worried in his heart, if he really started a war, the other party would bring people to kill him, and he would not be able to stop him.

"That's it. Never mind? Bai Qi gritted his teeth and said.

"Don't worry, this matter is not so easy to finish, the reason why he is so arrogant now is nothing more than to stand on his side through Qu Shuai, but in the final analysis, he is an outsider after all, and when he falls out of favor, it will be his death.

It's still a long time, so we'll see. ”
