Luo nine needles

Chapter 27 He Knows

More than a dozen soldiers and guards lined up on both sides.

Someone came in slowly.

He was also wearing a black robe, very young and good-looking, somewhat delicate and good-looking, with slender eyebrows and a high nose bridge.

He didn't wear a weapon either, but his delicate eyebrows and eyes were full of gloom, which made him a little chilly.

Like a knife, it stands in the sight of everyone.

This is Huo Lian.

The people present couldn’t say they hadn’t seen it before. In the court hall, the emperor was always accompanied by attendants, high-ranking families ransacked their homes in the street, and they were arraigned and executed in the yamen. But for some reason, they felt alienated and unfamiliar every time they saw it.

Maybe it's the breath he exudes that makes people avoid it unconsciously.

"Master Liu." Huo Lian was very polite and bowed to Liu Yan.

Liu Yan returned the courtesy and asked, "I heard that Governor Huo is out on inspection?"

As the Chief Prosecutor, in addition to his soldiers and guards sent everywhere to investigate cases, Huo Lian would also go out. Some said it was Yang Wei, some said it was to collect money, and some said it was to track down the remnants of King Jin.

Of course, all three are possible.

Anyway, every time Huo Lian travels, she will return with a full load, full of money, and full of criminals.

"Yes, there are too many criminals in this investigation, and I want to borrow the cell of Dali Temple." Huo Lian said.

Liu Yan said: "The cell in Dali Temple is not big, there is not much space left."

Although Huo Lian broke Yushi Zhongcheng's head, not every court official was afraid of him.

Hearing Liu Yan's refusal, Huo Lian didn't get angry, and thought for a while: "This is easy to handle. The prisoners in the Dali Temple cell will be vacated after cutting off a batch."

After all, look at Zhu Chuan.

"You know the files of the Dali Temple."

Duchasi's hands and eyes are everywhere, and they can naturally get the cases that belong to Dali Temple.

Zhu Chuan replied: "Don't worry, the governor." Ignoring Liu Yan, he waved, "Follow me."

After all, they went straight with a group of soldiers and guards, and they naturally knew where the cell in Dali Temple was.

The officials of Dali Temple were a little restless, but Liu Yan looked calm and asked, "Does Huo Dudu have a legal basis?"

"The criminal who entered the cell of Dali Temple is useless and harmful to the country and the court." Huo Lian said, "Don't worry, my lord, the decision to kill will be put on your desk tomorrow."

After finishing speaking, he raised his hand and saluted.

"Farewell."

He turned to go, then stopped.

"Oh, I have bothered Dali Temple, I can do you a favor." He turned his head slightly, looked at Liu Yan and said, "The scholar who hanged himself in Huixian Tower did not commit suicide, nor was he a victim of a murderer seeking revenge. "

Zhang Yuan, who had been quiet all this time, came back to his senses when he heard this, and blurted out, "Who is that?"

The Duchasi snooped into the privacy, did he find out the murderer?
"I don't know who the murderer is." Huo Lian said, "but I know the origin of the murderer."

Don't know who it is, know the origin?It sounds contradictory.

"What's the origin?" Liu Yan asked.

Huo Lian said, "Mo Tu."

Liu Yan's expression froze.

"Mo Tu?" Zhang Yuan blurted out in surprise again, "Haven't they already died in your hands, Huo Dudu?"

Huo Lian withdrew her gaze and turned her back to them, her voice came indifferently.

"Lawless and outlaws, where can we kill them all?"

……

……

"Huo Lian, is what Huo Dudu said true?"

Huo Lian left, and the cries from the prison cell in Dali Temple also fell silent, and Liu Yan stopped standing in the courtyard and went back indoors.

Zhang Yuan was not bound by the officials of Dali Temple, nor did he leave in a huff, but followed him into the room, as if the previous dispute had never happened.

"Liu Xiucai's death was caused by Mo Tu?"

Zhang Yuan stood in the hall, thoughtful.

Motu is the name of the government.

They themselves claim to be Mohist, who inherited Mohism from Mozi.

Of course, everyone in the world is familiar with Mozi and Mohism. It used to run rampant in the Spring and Autumn vassal states, but it disappeared after the Han Dynasty.

However, there have always been people among the people who claim to be the children of the Mohist family, forming cliques and ostentatiously. To the government, these so-called children of the Mohist family are a group of mobs who have committed rebellion, which is equivalent to bandits and bandits.

After the change of dynasties, coupled with the government's suppression and strict control, the Mohist children no longer show off in the world, change their appearance, hide their identities, and almost disappear from the world.

But I didn't expect Motu to appear in front of the world again in the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Zhang Yuan took a deep breath.

"The king of Jin conspired against him back then." He asked in a low voice, "Did Mo Tu drive the prince to attack and kill the prince?"

The king of Jin's treason case was an unprecedented major case in the Great Zhou Dynasty, which shocked the court and the people.

But it is related to the death of the prince, details are taboo.

The announcement published at the beginning was full of cursing King Jin and General Liang, and did not write about how the prince died or how it happened.

It is only vaguely said that King Jin recruited a group of dead people.

There are more detailed information descriptions of these dead people in the government.

Mo Tu.

Of course, these dead disciples were all beheaded like Jin Wang Liang Temple.

"There are still remnants of evil?" Zhang Yuan said again, with a bit of a sense of surprise, "Could it be that Governor Huo went out to inspect, and the remnants of the investigation are these Mo disciples?"

"The capital has even mixed in with Mo Tu?"

"Or, Mo Tu has been hiding in the capital!"

"Why did Tu Mo kill Liu Xiucai?"

Having said that, Zhang Yuan took a step forward, stood in front of the desk, and called out to Mr. Liu.

"There must be something deep in this case!" he said in a low voice and with bright eyes.

Liu Yan has been drinking tea slowly, while looking at the document handed over by Mr. Wu, he raised his head at this time, but he did not look at Zhang Yuan, but said to Mr. Wu: "Send a letter to the Ministry of Punishment, and the tenant's wife will send a letter to Jiaozhou to deal with. Everyone checks out..."

Zhang Yuan was a little annoyed and raised his voice to interrupt: "Master Liu!"

Only then did Liu Yan look at him.

"Why do you want to investigate the tenant's wife?" Zhang Yuan said angrily, "Didn't Governor Huo just say it, it was Mo Tu who did it."

Although Huo Lian is annoying, the cases investigated by the Dujusi—although many of them seem to be exaggerated and framed, but Liu Xiucai should be true.

To deal with Motu, Huo Dudu didn't need to frame him.

Liu Yan said: "Because Motu did it, we only need to check the tenant's wife."

He put down the teacup with a soft sound.

"Motu, what do you do?"

"It's a group of people who claim to be righteous on behalf of the sky, see injustices in the road, fight the strong and help the weak, and act chivalrously."

"They believe in death for those who kill, and punishment for those who injure others."

"So Liu Xiucai hurt the tenant's life, and the government didn't care, so they did justice for the heavens and killed Liu Xiucai."

"If you want to know who the murderer is, just ask the tenant's wife, whom she weeps for and complains to, that's all."

Zhang Yuan frowned, seeming to understand but not understanding.

Before he could speak, Liu Yan yelled again, calling Mr. Wu.

"Also, not only circulated Liu Xiucai's confession in Huixian Tower, but also went to Guangfa to announce it, compare the handwriting, and find similar writing styles."

Zhang Yuan's eyes widened even further: "What are you going to do?"

Liu Yan stood up and glanced at Zhang Yuan.

"That was not written by Liu Xiucai. It is Motu's hobby to create a scene where the dead deserve what they deserve."
