Chapter 26: The Pupil of the Ruins (7)
Li Xi whispered in Gu Changqing's ear: "He seems to be the person who was with Ren Yi in the wooden shed outside the city yesterday. ”
Gu Changqing nodded slightly, signaling Li Xi not to be quiet, and he also saw this.
Yesterday, I saw Ren Yi and this old man living in a wooden shed outside the city, and their words and deeds seemed to be relatives, and now this old man has committed an accident, but why don't you see Ren Yi?
Qian He on the side stared at the old man left and right, with a somewhat strange expression.
Seeing this, Gu Changqing said, "Lord Qian seems to be full of doubts. ”
Qian He shook his head and said: "It's quite strange, I believe that Lord Gu can also see it, this person does not have the slightest mana fluctuation, it is certain that he is not a cultivator, but the evidence is ironclad, he is indeed the one who stole Lord Mo's grandson." ”
"Could there be something strange?"
"It stands to reason that although Lord Mo Chongxi Mo has returned to his hometown, his mana is still there, how can an ordinary person easily get it?"
Gu Changqing said: "What did Master Mo say?"
Qian He sighed and said: "It's also a strange thing, no one in the entire Mo Mansion can tell how the child was stolen, and even Lord Mo himself didn't understand it, as if the child disappeared out of thin air." ”
"Is Lord Qian going to bring this person back to the yamen for interrogation?"
"This kind of case should have been handed over to the county government for disposal, but Lord Mo has a special status, so I came to inquire in person, but even so, I'm afraid this person can't be brought back to the yamen. ”
"It must have been what Lord Mo asked, right?"
Qian He said: "Lord Gu guessed correctly, Master Mo has spoken, and if you find the prisoner, you must hand it over to him for interrogation as soon as possible." ”
"I'm afraid this doesn't conform to the laws of the Ming Dynasty, right?"
Qian He smiled bitterly: "Then what can it do? The emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and the person is also a third-grade Taoist priest, even the Lord of Futai has to give three points." ”
Gu Changqing thought for a while and said, "I don't think Master Mo is telling the truth. ”
Qian He's expression changed when he heard this, he turned his head, looked at Gu Changqing, and asked, "What does Master Gu mean?"
"A dignified three-grade Taoist priest, the grandson of the family disappeared for no reason, but he doesn't know what's going on, who will believe it?"
Qian He's eyes were confused, and he pondered for a moment before saying, "No matter what, take him to Mofu first." ”
"Anyway, it's okay, I'll go with Lord Qian, and I can also visit Master Mo. ”
"That couldn't be better. ”
In fact, the reason why Gu Changqing wanted to go with Qian He was for Ren Yi, if Ren Yi was not found by this person's side, where would she go?
There is a certain risk in going to Mo Mansion, after all, this is a different dimension, it is the timeline of the past, and as a person in the future, if he comes into contact with too many people, it may cause changes in the future, all of which is not good.
What is the impact of triggering future changes, to be honest, Gu Changqing has no bottom in his heart.
Mo Chongxi, a former waiter of the Ministry of Works, begged the bones of the Son of Heaven in March this year and returned to his hometown in mid-April.
Mo Chongxi has been an official in the court for twenty-three years, and he has been named on the gold list of Yongle for ten years, and he is one of the few veterans of the four dynasties.
Although he is an official and a waiter in the Ministry of Justice, he is proud of his life, but he has a lot of unspeakable secrets in terms of his heirs.
Mo Chongxi was forty-three years old when he was in the top three in the high school hall, which was the time of high spirits, but unfortunately he was not married at that time, and he did not marry a family until two years later, and he really had offspring five years later, and he only had a son when he was fifty years old.
There are many rumors that Mo Chongxi is destined to cut off his son and grandson, and this son is not his own, as for what the truth is, only Mo Chongxi himself knows.
Mo Chongxi was overjoyed to have a son in old age, and he doted on this only son since he was a child, not only arranging a child daughter-in-law for his son when he was five years old, but also looking for a suitable marriage match for his son every day.
When his son was thirteen years old, Mo Chongxi married him a family, and the reason why he was so anxious was because he was afraid that his son would be like him and delay in the heir.
Fortunately, this son was also angry, and at the age of fifteen, he gave birth to a grandson.
So, Mo Chongxi had a complete life, and he returned to his hometown when he saw this.
However, a few days after returning to his hometown with the whole family, his baby grandson disappeared for no reason.
According to the two nurses of the grandson, the child was absent in the middle of the night, and the child was fine before they went to sleep, and when they woke up, the child was gone.
There was not a trace of outsiders entering the room, nothing was missing, except for the child.
Mo Chongxi didn't find any traces of outsiders entering that night, if he stole the child silently under the nose of the Sanpin Taoist priest, how terrifying was that person's strength?
There are not many Taoist priests in the world who can do this kind of thing, and he has a good relationship with the three ranks and above in the court, and it is impossible for anyone to do this kind of thing, so who is it?
The high-level Taoist priests in the field, except for a few avenues, are almost gone, and why would the high-level Taoist priest steal his grandson?
Mo Chongxi was puzzled.
In the past few days since his grandson disappeared, Mo Chongxi's hair has turned a lot whiter, and he contacted the officials of the court, but no one knew about it, in other words, it could not be them.
He also inquired about the various avenues, and the high-level Taoist priests were all figures with heads and faces, and they had a good reputation, and they would not do such a thing that would ruin their conscience.
Who is it?
Mo Chongxi lay on the bed and meditated, he is sixty-six years old this year, although he is a third-grade Taoist priest, but under the effect of the five decays of heaven and man, he feels that his life span is coming to an end, and this kind of thing happened before he died, is it really the will of heaven?
Over the years, he has made friends with powerful people everywhere, and he hasn't offended anyone?
Suddenly, someone came to report, saying that Qian He had found the child and caught the criminal, which made Mo Chongxi run out without even wearing shoes.
Gu Changqing and Qian He couldn't help but be shocked when they saw the barefoot Mo Chongxi running out.
Sanpin Taoist priest is so embarrassed, I'm afraid I don't see it much, it seems that Mo Chongxi attaches great importance to this grandson.
The child had already been handed over to the nurse by the servant, Mo Chongxi took the child, hugged it tightly in his arms, and was overjoyed.
Not long after, Mo Chongxi's son, the child's father, fifteen-year-old Mo Chengsi and his two wives also ran out.
From Mo Chenghei's name, it can be seen that Mo Chongxi attaches great importance to his descendants and descendants.
A few people patronized and watched the children, and couldn't help but hang Gu Changqing, Qian He and the others aside, even the thieves who had been looking for them aside.
The waiting time was really long, and Qian He was already a little impatient, so he had to interrupt Mo Chongxi and said, "Master Mo, I also brought the offender." ”
Mo Chongxi came back to his senses, handed over the child to the wet nurse, and let them go down, and turned around and said, "Let you see the smile." ”
He sat down and put on his shoes and said, "Lord Qian, I said that the old man has resigned, and he is no longer a waiter in the Ministry of Works, so you don't need to call me Lord." ”
Qian He leaned over and said, "The lower officials don't dare." ”
"Forget it, you can call it whatever you like. ”
He Mo Chongxi raised his head, looked at the prisoner, and suddenly set his eyes on Gu Changqing and Li Xi.
"Who are these two?"
Qian He said: "This is Master Gu Changqing who came from Jiading Mansion to handle the case, as for the other ......."
He looked at Gu Changqing, meaning to let him say to himself, he really couldn't figure out the relationship between the two.
