Troubled times: Start practicing spiritual practice by taking care of your sister-in-law

Chapter 30
The leading police officer, named Wu Shan, received a report that two people were missing in Fuze Village and were suspected of being killed by Chen Mo.

Originally, Wu Shan would not care about matters outside the city. Even if it was a murder case, he would not get involved. According to the words of the county magistrate, the lives of the untouchables outside the city are not valuable, so they will die if they die. .

Going to investigate is completely thankless in these troubled times. After all, the people in the city are living a miserable life. There is nothing to be exploited by the unscrupulous people outside the city, let alone the one who is suspected of being killed.

But when he learned that Chen Mo had obtained a wild boar skin from the missing person, his mind changed.

A piece of wild boar skin can be sold for a small amount of money, which is a lot of money.

There is money to be squeezed, so he will take care of this matter. Call a few friends and come to Fuze Village for a visit.

Originally, I heard from the person who reported the crime that Chen Mo was only somewhat capable of fighting.

But actually seeing it, this is somewhat capable of fighting.

This is probably a warrior who has already reached the top level.

Their Peng Baotou is a warrior, and Wu Shan knows the difference between warriors and ordinary people.

A high-level warrior is invincible.

Wu Shan felt a little uneasy in his heart. If the other party went on a rampage and killed people, the four of them would not be able to handle it.

"No, we can just stand here. We will ask you some questions and then leave." Wu Shan said sarcastically.

Chen Mo would naturally not take action against them. He would not kill officials unless it was absolutely necessary.

After all, killing an official is tantamount to rebellion.

This Song Dynasty is not that Song Dynasty. If you rebel against the imperial court, you will not be harmed, but you will be exterminated, and he will not be able to survive by then.

The strength he showed just now was just to express that he was not so controllable.

As long as he didn't provoke the government, in these troubled times, it was impossible for the government to arrest him for the sake of those powerless dead people.

Moreover, the government has no evidence.

That's right, Chen Mo guessed that they came here not because of Wang Xi's affairs, but because of the three Yi Yong people he killed that day.

Wu Shan and the others would not sit down, and Chen Mo would not force him. He chuckled and said, "Whatever you want to know, I will definitely tell you."

"Sir, drink tea." At this time, Han Anniang also came over.

"Sir, please wait a moment."

Seeing that Han An was a little nervous, Chen Mo took the teapot from her hand, patted the back of her hand to let her relax, and then whispered a few words in her ear and asked her to go in the room.

"Come, sir, have some tea."

The Chen family's teacup was made of bamboo tubes. Like a waiter in a teahouse, Chen Mo poured tea and handed it over.

As a servant of the Yamen, Wu Shan has seen a lot of people from all walks of life, and he is best at observing people's emotions. Chen Mo's behavior was humble and kind. Wu Shan naturally had a panoramic view, he felt a little relieved, and his attitude became more polite, and said:

"It's just a small matter. Yesterday, someone came to the Yamen to report that Wang Xi and Liu Ergou from Chen Brothers' village were missing. You had a conflict before, saying that they were killed by Chen Brothers.

Brother Chen, you also know that this is a murder case. According to the rules, we have to come over and investigate. Please forgive me, Brother Chen. "

Before Chen Mo traveled through time, as the son of a battlefield owner, he naturally met all kinds of people and had dealings with the government. He had a certain understanding of what goodwill was, what flattery was, and what talk was like.

Chen Mo smiled and said, "I wonder what I call you, sir?"

"Brother Chen, just call me Wu Shan." "I don't dare. If Mr. Wu doesn't mind, can I call you Brother Wu?"

"good."

"Brother Wu has done his duty well, and I admire you." Chen Mo bowed his hand and got to the point: "I do have conflicts with Wang Xi and Liu Ergou. They harassed my sister-in-law. As my brother-in-law, if I meet the family The sister-in-law was insulted and ignored, which was a waste of time, so she gave them a lesson.

However, their disappearance has nothing to do with me. After all, they are from the same village and fellow villagers. As a scholar, how could I kill them. "

"What Brother Chen said is absolutely true." Wu Shan nodded and said, "When we first met, I felt that my brother had a compassionate look on his face and was incapable of doing such a thing as murder. Obviously these two people went off to fool around somewhere. So the person who reported the case mistakenly thought he was missing, thus misunderstanding Brother Chen.”

"Brother Wu makes sense." Chen Mo said.

"Since it's a misunderstanding, brother Chen, we won't bother you and leave." Wu Shan put down the teacup and cupped his hands.

At this time, Han Aniang also walked out of the room, with a hint of fear on her face. Chen Mo took the thing she handed and followed out: "Brother Wu, I'll give it to you."

After sending the four people out of the yard, Chen Mo took the opportunity to get closer, gave the money bag to Wu Shan, and said with a smile: "Brother Wu, please go slowly. This time I'm in trouble for a few people. I'll treat everyone to a drink another day."

"Easy to say, easy to say. If Brother Chen comes to the city, come directly to Wujia Hutong in the west of the city to find me. The house at the end is my home."

When Wu Shan guessed that Chen Mo was a warrior, he was prepared to run away in vain. Unexpectedly, there would be an unexpected gain. He weighed it secretly, and the smile on his face suddenly became more sincere, secretly praising Chen Mo for his good conduct.

Before leaving, Wu Shan said in Chen Mo's ear: "The person who reported the crime is an old woman."

The scene of the Yamen detective talking and laughing with Chen Mo was also seen by the villagers of Fuze Village. They were shocked all over and their awe towards Chen Mo deepened.

Brother Mo is really promising.

Many people came up with the idea of ​​following Chen Mo.

……

Back in the room, Chen Mo's originally smiling face suddenly turned cold.

"Old woman?"

Chen Mo had roughly guessed who it was.

"Uncle, are you okay?" Han Aniang hurried forward to greet her, with worry on her face.

After all, the yamen officer came directly to her door. She was just a powerless village girl. How could she not be afraid that something might happen to Chen Mo? She now completely regarded Chen Mo as her support.

"It's okay." Chen Mo put Han Anniang into his arms, patted her back gently and said warmly.

"Uncle, I'm sorry, the slave family caused trouble for you. The slave family acted too panicked just now." Han Anniang also realized that her behavior just now could easily arouse suspicion.

"Fool, that's human nature, why should I apologize?" Chen Mo kissed Han An's forehead: "Don't worry, it's okay."

Han Anniang didn't ask if Wang Xi's disappearance had anything to do with Chen Mo. She didn't want to know. She just wanted Chen Mo to be safe.

She pressed her face against Chen Mo's chest and listened to his heartbeat.

In this bitterly cold winter, she only felt so warm, so warm.

After calming down, Han Aniang returned to her little woman appearance again and looked up at Chen Mo: "Uncle, did you just give them all the money? That's the only money we have left."

Chen Mo stroked her hair, slapped her hard on the face, and said with a smile, "I also left some money to go to the city."
