May 27 of the Wu calendar.

Hangzhou.

Pingxiang County.

County office.

A thick dossier was placed on the long table in front of Chu Mo, and Hu Yan, the chief bookkeeper of Hangzhou, was pacing back and forth in front of Chu Mo's desk, and the Hangzhou dialect in his mouth was full of words, like ants on a hot pot, the little beard trembled up and down, and there were heavy Buddhist beads hanging on his thin chest, as if he was going to crush his waist.

Hu Run was running back and forth in the lobby of the county office, his mouth was not idle, and said: "Eh, hey, Ouyang County Order, it's not my stunned subjective opinion, it's above, the above is still very long-term thinking about Nong to be honest, Lord Zhizhou also called your name, saying that Ouyang Mo is in charge, and I, the Zhizhou, can run a lot less, what does this mean." It shows that the state attaches great importance to you, since the end of this battle, the adults in the state have moved quickly, and the cabinet minister Lord Yang will not be able to return to his hometown after next year, and when the governor takes over, Nong will not be able to transfer to the state......"

Chu Mo raised his head from the thick file, squeezed out a wry smile at Hu Run, and said: "Thank you Lord Hu for your support, the villain has a number in his heart, and the matter of promotion and transfer has to be decided by the adults above, I want to understand the mess of the county order now." ”

Hu Run ignored his words, and the more he talked to himself, the more excited he became, his hands clapped loudly, and said: "But what is going on in Pingxiang County now? Master Niu's case is about to come to an end, and there is a person's head waiting on it, and this herring building has been burned down, which has alarmed the adults of the military department, dozens of people in a battalion have died, and people have run away. ”

Chu Mo lowered his head and said with a smile: "Master Hu, you look at the table of my small county government, I can't bear it anymore." ”

Hu Run rushed to the table with an arrow step, the Buddha beads around his neck dangled, and said: "So, you talk about it, you have to come up with a way, let me tell you, the matter of Qingyulou, but you have to stab the emperor!"

Chu Mo still smiled faintly and did not answer his words.

Hu Run looked at Chu Mo's unmoved expression, sighed heavily, and lay down on a Taishi chair in the corner, with a sad face.

That night, Chu Mo put on a dark black veil and hid his face behind the veil.

Since the death of Chu, after the coordination of the Chu forces hidden in the Tianshu Pavilion, his identity in the Tianshu Pavilion has become more and more hidden, and few people know that there is such a person. The national teacher of the Chu State has been helping him to maneuver secretly, so that his upper line has basically been controlled by the forces of the Chu State, but there are few people and the strength is weak, so he can only hide him deep and cannot make superfluous moves. Yan Wuchang, the crown prince of Yan, was authorized by King Yan to set up an organization with equal authority and authority with Tianwang, Tianwang, which is directly led by Yan Wuchang, and the people in it are all screened by Yan Wuchang himself, and most of them are people from the Yan royal family or cabinet parties who have been transferred by Tianshu Pavilion. The status of the Tianshu Pavilion was gradually squeezed by Skynet, forming two forces that were evenly matched. Chu Mo had also heard a little about Skynet's operation, and the main task of this organization was to sweep away the remaining remnants of the Chu State, including unarmed refugees. Skynet acts in a high-profile, ruthless manner, and has no taboos, even for the people of Tianshu Pavilion, who can sacrifice everything to achieve their goals, including the people of Tianshu Pavilion, who have been oppressed by Skynet in recent years, but no one in the Yan Cabinet dares to say anything, which is enough to show Yan Wuchang's status in the cabinet, or the determination of the royal family to eradicate the remnants of the Chu State.

Chu Mo could vaguely judge from Ouyang Mu's moves that this was a secret technique from the Tianshu Pavilion, but burning the Qingyu Building and killing the light cavalry was obviously not the practice of the low-key and secret Tianshu Pavilion, only the person who could be transferred from the Tianshu Pavilion to the Tianwang Pavilion. Although she didn't know the purpose of doing this, since she was active in Pingxiang County, it showed that Yan Wuchang must also be here.

And their purpose is basically themselves.

In that case, I'm here to see if Skynet has the ability to take me away.

Chu Mo began to exert his fists and feet, and he was imprisoned for a few years, and he had no chance to let go for a long time. There was even a hint of excitement in his heart.

Ouyang Mu's internal strength was insufficient, and several sets of assassinations were resolved by Chu Mo, but he was still cautious, for fear that the other party would see something.

Ouyang Mu's several sets of attacks were ineffective, and his face was still unfazed, as if everything was under control. Chu Mo was also uneasy in his heart, for fear that this was Skynet's lure snake out of the hole.

Quick.

Chu Mo's eyes oozed murderous intent, and he pulled out an ordinary official knife from his waist.

In an instant, the two figures collided together in the blink of an eye, like arrows coming out of the string, and the swords grazed with sparks, making a piercing grinding sound.

Chu Mo didn't spare his hand, waved the official knife to open and close, and every angle went straight to Ouyang Mu's life. The short sword in Ouyang Mu's hand spun deftly, blocking Chu Mo's slash head-on.

Chu Mo's suppression became stronger and stronger, and Ouyang Mu was so repelled that he had to lower his body and resist with all his might.

After only a few rounds of fighting, Chu Mo tricked Ouyang Mu's block with one move, and his knee stabbed into her chin. The heavy force made her snort, and ordinary people had already spurted blood from their mouths and noses, and they had no power to fight back.

Ouyang Mu's eyes were still cold and calm, like a killing machine, he didn't feel pain, and he swung his short sword and stabbed.

Chu Mo rotated the hilt of the knife with one hand, and in a few clicks, he relieved Ouyang Mu's attack, and then with a push, the blade stabbed towards her defenseless chest. Ouyang Mu gathered internal force in the blink of an eye, her legs burst out with amazing strength, and when the blade ushered in, she kicked the ground and pushed forward, and the official knife only cut through her thigh, leaving a deep wound.

The two footprints on the ground were cracked, and the official knife came out of his hand and stuck straight into the ground.

The strength of the people of Skynet is really better than the mediocre people of the Tianshu Pavilion.

Chu Mo looked at Ouyang Mu in front of him through the veil.

Ouyang Mulian took several steps back before she could barely stand still, her body had reached the edge of support, and there were only a few wisps of internal force left, supporting her from falling.

In front of Chu Mo's eyes, Ouyang Mu slowly straightened up.

In an instant, the place where she stood was empty. A whirlwind blew up, blowing dust on the ground. Chu Mo was shocked and hurriedly looked around.

It's still empty.

Right under his nose, Ouyang Mu disappeared out of thin air, leaving not even the slightest trace of internal force.

There was not a single movement around, and there was no sign of disorder in the flow of air.

Chu Mo's eyes gradually widened, but the scene in front of him was still average.

His heart stirred with shock, and until two days later, he still couldn't suppress the shock he felt at the county office. But on the surface, he still showed a calm appearance, so that when the chief secretary of Hangzhou came to the county government to find him because of this matter, he was still unhurried.

The woman's internal force was already flowing very hard, and it was impossible to use any unfathomable technique to disappear out of thin air without leaving a trace. Unless she used some special props in Skynet, runes that could teleport, or something, but it was more likely that someone rescued her.

Her eyes still showed murderous intent when she got up, and she should be ready to continue to kill me, and it is unlikely that she will walk away.

Who rescued her?

The first name appeared in Chu Mo's mind: Yan Impermanence.

Is this man's strength already so deep? I didn't even notice it lurking in the corner, and he saved people in front of me, so why didn't he kill me?

Chu Mo was a little apprehensive, Yan Wuchang's strength was not as simple as he imagined.

As he thought, he buried his head in the thick file on the case.

The master carefully helped him review it beside him, and Hu Run dozed off in the Taishi chair in the corner of the side. He came overnight last night, and he didn't have time to rest, as an official sent by Lord Zhizhou to understand the situation first-hand, Hurun was already physically and mentally exhausted.

"Your Excellency. The master approached Chu Mo softly, afraid of waking up Hu Run, and said, "There is already a harvest under Niu Tao's case, you can see ......."

Chu Mo turned his head to look at it, the master was holding the confession and book record handed in by the yamen in his hand, and he also said softly: "Say it." ”

The master narrowed his eyes, stared at the paper in his hand, and said: "The doctor in the yamen has already seen the corpse, Niu Tao is the cause of death is the knife wound on his neck, which cut his throat, and the murder weapon has also been found, that is, the knife in the kitchen of Niu Fushang, there are still some blood stains on it, and it was thrown under the stove." ”

After hearing this, Chu Mo nodded, and said, "Okay, write these down, and present them when the time comes." ”

The master said: "Yes, my lord, after interrogation, the officials below have determined that the people in the prison have more or less done anything to Niu Tao, except for his sophomore room. Liu Xiaoxiao drugged Niu Tao's wine, but the effect was not fatal, Niu Tao just fainted, and then Liu Zhenwei strangled Niu Tao's neck with a rope, which is enough to prove that Liu Xiaoxiao is indeed related to Liu Zhenwei. I don't know why Liu Zhenwei didn't strangle Niu Tao, because there was a lot of blood from the knife wound later, and the owner of the murder weapon had already confessed, it was Niu Tao's son Niu Ran. ”

Chu Mo nodded while listening, and after the master finished speaking, he asked, "Have they all confessed?"

The master nodded and said, "Yes, my lord, it has already been drawn." Today is the last day, can you close the case?"

At this time, Chu Mo's mind was not on this case, and Yan Impermanence's movements a few days ago made him a little powerless. He said to his master: "Let's close the case." Niu Ran sent to the dungeon, asked after the autumn, Liu Xiaoxiao and Liu Zhenwei each played 100 boards, and the tattoo was distributed to Taizhou. And the rest were let go. ”

The master said, "Yes." My lord, I will leave for the post station today, and I will be able to deliver it to the state capital tomorrow. ”

Chu Mo stroked his chin with his hand and said softly, "What is the matter of Qingyu Building now?"

The master cautiously looked up at Hurun, who was snoring, and lowered his voice, "The loss is that the night didn't burn fast, if the whole street burns, then even the names of you and me will be recorded in the history books." ”

After hearing this, Chu Mo smiled and shook his head.

"Lord Bookkeeper doesn't know if he's here to probe or inspect here, in short, it's not a good thing, and I'm afraid there will be more trouble in the future. The master frowned and said.

Chu Mo said a little gently: "No, if we really came to investigate the trouble between you and me, we would have been escorted to the state capital a long time ago." ”

The master moved his cloudy eyes, approached Chu Mo and asked, "What does the adult mean?"

Chu Mo said: "This incident has alarmed the military department, maybe it has been submitted to the top, it was not the ordinary security army that came that night, but the Praetorian Guard." killed the emperor's men and horses on the territory of Hangzhou, not only the state capital, but also the palace is estimated to have action, but it doesn't have to be known by you and me. ”

The master frowned and nodded.

"And Lord Zhizhou only sent a master book here, I guess it is fake to supervise it, watch the county government, and don't let us have any extra actions to be true, so as not to startle the snake and ruin the plan in the palace. Chu Mo continued.

After hearing this, the master had an epiphany, looked at Hurun, who was dozing, and said softly: "Then sir, we should ...... now"

"Don't act rashly, follow the meaning of the above, report some excerpts, show your attitude, the important thing is to submit the Niu Tao case first, and the state will urge it urgently. Chu Mo instructed his master.

The master was ordered, and he answered softly and exited the lobby.
