Chapter 33: The Pupil of the Ruins (14)
Early the next morning, the government publicly tried the case of Mo Chongxi's grandson being stolen, and as said before, Iga Xian really retracted his confession this time.
This made Qian He unexpected.
Since the prisoner retracted his confession, there are still many doubts in this case in Qian He's opinion, and the people of Futai already have a plan to re-investigate thoroughly.
However, Qian He was noncommittal, he felt that if Yi Hexian judged the two of them overnight, there must be something strange in it, and the case had already been decided on Mo Chongxi's side, and if he wanted to overturn the case, he was afraid that he would offend Mo Chongxi, which he did not want to see.
Lord Futai pulled Qian He aside and scolded: "Didn't you say that the evidence is ironclad, and the prisoner has already confessed?"
Qian He said: "Yesterday in Lord Mo's Mansion, he did confess his guilt, but I don't know why he ...... now."
"Hmph," Lord Futai said angrily, "I heard you say that this case can be closed, and this is the public trial, and now in front of the people of the world, do you want to forcibly convict?"
"But Lord Mo's side. ”
"This matter is taken over by you, and it should be solved by you, you can do it over there!"
This public trial could not be concluded, and Qian He became an unpleasant person on both sides.
As soon as this side ended, Mo Chongxi's side came and sent Qian He over.
Qian He didn't know how to explain to Mo Chongxi, and after thinking about it, he decided to discuss it with Gu Changqing before going, after all, Gu Changqing was also insightful about this matter.
Gu Changqing had long expected that Qian He would come to him, and he had already asked people to prepare tea.
After Qian He entered the door, he sighed.
Gu Changqing knew in his heart that Qian He must have doubted himself, and he didn't hide it at the moment, if it was true, Qian He's embarrassing situation was actually caused by him.
"Lord Qian, don't worry, I'll go with you over there. ”
Qian He shook his head and said: "It's useless for you to go, this matter is a mess, why do you say that Iga Immortal chose to retract his confession overnight?"
Gu Changqing was expressionless and said, "Master Qian doesn't have to guess, it's really me." ”
"Why are you doing that?"
Gu Changqing patted Qian He's shoulder and said, "Lord Qian, you and I are both officials, you must know that human life is at stake!"
"......"
"Lord Qian, please, everything is with me. ”
Qian He had no choice but to take Gu Changqing to Mo Chongxi's mansion together.
After entering the mansion, Gu Changqing asked Li Xi to wait outside, and he followed Qian He in.
Mo Chongxi was a little surprised when he saw Gu Changqing: "Why is he here too?"
Qian He didn't know how to answer, and he hesitated.
Gu Changqing said: "Master Mo, the lower officials are here to relieve your worries. ”
Mo Chongxi snorted coldly and said, "Now that my grandson has been found, what worries can I solve." ”
"I believe that Master Mo is also an understanding person, even if Iga Immortal has the technique of taking things from the air, he can never be a thief. ”
Mo Chongxi's face changed, and he said in a low voice: "So, you asked him to retract his confession?"
"He was wronged, and it is normal to retract his confession. ”
"Then let me ask you, if not him, who is the thief?"
Gu Changqing said: "I have to ask Master Mo." ”
"Gu," Mo Chongxi tilted his head and asked, "Gu what?"
"Xiaguan Gu Changqing. ”
"Gu Changqing, what do you mean by that?"
Gu Changqing said: "Lord Mo, we don't say secret words, you should know best who did it, please imagine that even if you are willing to calm things down and let an ordinary person bear the blame, will the real thief let you go?
When Mo Chongxi heard this, the expression on his face slowed down, and he lowered his head and did not speak.
Seeing this, Qian He was impressed by Gu Changqing, he couldn't imagine that the young and promising magistrate in front of him, who looked less than twenty years old, would have such a method, it seemed that he had already eaten Mo Chongxi to death.
What a hero!
Qian He threw himself to the ground for the five bodies that Gu Changqing admired.
Gu Changqing continued: "Master Mo has a son for a long time, and now he has a grandson, if the thief still doesn't let go of the adult, then next time it will not only be a grandson who is stolen, but may even be killed." ”
Mo Chongxi's face was cloudy, and no one could tell what he was thinking.
"For the sake of today, only finding the thief and bringing him to justice is the best protection for the family of Lord Mo. ”
Mo Chongxi was silent for a long time, and finally raised his head and said: "Amazing, I didn't expect you to have such a means at such a young age, to be honest, you really moved me." ”
"Then please ask Lord Mo to tell us the truth, and I believe that Lord Qian will be able to catch the real thief soon. ”
Gu Changqing's words were very useful to Qian He, he showed his hand in front of Mo Chongxi, and he had already won recognition, but he did not take the credit alone, but wanted to attribute the credit to Qian He, which could be regarded as appeasing Qian He.
But Mo Chongxi shook his head and said, "You should also know why I chose not to delve into it. ”
Gu Changqing said: "Of course, the reason why Lord Mo did this is because the real thief is only afraid of a high-level Taoist, at least the same quality as the adult, and maybe even higher, but I have a law, and the prince must be guilty of the same crime as the common people." ”
Mo Chongxi said: "Give me some time, let me think about it." ”
"I hope I don't wait until the adult's family has another accident before the adult figure it out. ”
Returning from Mo Chongxi's mansion, Gu Changqing said to Qian He: "Do you know that Lord Mo has any enemies?"
Qian He shook his head and said: "I heard that Master Mo has a lot of friends as an official in the court, and there are no enemies in the court. ”
"Just because you have a lot of friends doesn't mean you don't have enemies. ”
"Are you saying that Master Mo may have offended a big person, and that person doesn't even dare to fight against Lord Mo easily?"
"Pretty much. ”
Qian He said: "Master Mo is a three-grade squire, and even he doesn't dare to fight easily, except for the six Shangshu, there is only the cabinet Sanyang." ”
Gu Changqing shook his head and said, "No, there is one more." ”
"You're talking about ......"
Gu Changqing nodded and said, "Today, if the Son of Heaven instructs others to do it, then everything will make sense." ”
"But what kind of grudge does the emperor have with Lord Mo?"
"This person may not be the emperor, but what if it is someone from the emperor's side?"
It was only then that Qian He suddenly realized.
"It's him, the big celebrity next to the emperor, the eunuch Wang Zhen. ”
Gu Changqing said: "Can you find out what Master Mo has been doing in the imperial court over the years?"
"I'm afraid I'll have to ask Skynet. ”
"Can you find someone from Skynet?"
Qian He nodded and said: "Yes, Skynet has developed rapidly in recent years, and secret agents are all over the world, even Jinyiwei has to ask Skynet about some cases, and we have a stronghold in Tianwang in Anlu County." ”
"Without further ado, let's go find the Skynet Bar. ”
