The Nameless of the Common Clans

A beacon lighted up in Zhuangzi, and two patrols nearby arrived quickly. The leaders were county captain Zhang Qiu and meritorious officer Wulong. When they saw Chen Mo, Tang Yuan and a group of children from aristocratic families, Zhang Qiu and Wulong felt their scalps tingling. Damn, why are these ancestors here?

"Why are you gentlemen here?" Zhang Qiu came to Chen Mo with a stiff smile on his face and bowed.

"I was out hunting, but I didn't expect to encounter a slaughterhouse." Chen Mo pointed to the village in the distance. He didn't need to get close. The fishy smell in the air probably told him what was going on here.

"this……"

When Zhang Qiu and Wu Long saw the tragic situation in the village, their expressions became ugly. Zhang Qiu was also very capable. After confessing to everyone, he immediately ordered people to start searching around for survivors.

"Don't look for it. We have just seen it. There is no one alive in such a big Zhuangzi." Taishi Ci stood next to Chen Mo and said to Zhang Qiu: "I think the county captain had better look for someone who has friendship with this Zhuangzi. , It doesn’t look like bandits killing people, but it looks like a vendetta.”

"This is..." Zhang Qiu looked at Taishi Ci in confusion, and then at Chen Mo. He originally thought that it was Chen Mo and others who brought him out, but now it seems that it is not the case. Even if the generals of each family don't know him, , most of them look familiar.

"The county government reported to Cao Shi, Tai Shi Ci." Tai Shi Ci announced his home: "I happened to pass by here and noticed something strange, so I went in to investigate and met them."

Hearing this, Zhang Qiu narrowed his eyes and said, "May I ask why this Taishi brother is here?"

"Send a letter to the Governor's Mansion." Taishi Ci saw Zhang Qiu's expression and knew what this man was thinking. Although he had been prepared, he was still uncomfortable because of his unruly temperament, and said with a cold face.

"Are there any documents?" Zhang Qiu was unmoved. Although his tone was gentle, his expression was quite suspicious.

"Yes, but are you qualified?" Taishi Ci took out a roll of documents from his arms, but did not hand it to Zhang Qiu. He just looked at him coldly. He looked majestic. At this moment, once his face turned cold, his facial features gave people a cold look. There is a strong sense of oppression. Even if you do nothing, just standing there makes you feel depressed.

"Lieutenant Zhang, investigate the case first. I have asked someone to notify the government office. The tutor will be here soon. We will talk about this later. Moreover, what Brother Taishi said is also true. Check the owner of Zhuangzi and his recent contacts." Man." Chen Mo noticed that Zhang Qiu was a little timid, so he smiled and diverted the topic to avoid embarrassment for everyone.

"What the young master said is absolutely true. I'll do it now." Zhang Qiu glanced at Tai Shici and saluted Chen Mo.

"Boss!" Wu Long came out of the village with his people, his face was a little pale, and he saluted Zhang Qiu: "There are no survivors, and it seems that there is a fight in the village. It doesn't look like thieves are attacking, and there is no money and food." It wasn't much, it was probably a vendetta, and I found out..."

At the end, he looked at Tai Shi Ci, Chen Mo and others cautiously.

"Say it." Zhang Qiu said impatiently.

"There are several corpses belonging to famous people from Luxiang and high-ranking generals. Judging from the wounds, they should have been killed in fights with the villagers." Wu Long bowed.

"Gao Wang!? Chief Secretary of the Governor's Office?" Zhang Qiu's eyes widened and he said in disbelief.

"Well, those people have come to Dangli to visit the county magistrate before." Wu Long nodded.

"This..." Zhang Qiu felt that the matter was a bit serious. Gao Wang was a famous scholar in Qingzhou, and his reputation was not worse than Zang Hong. He was quite popular among the nobles. If this matter is really related to him, then this case ...Zhang Qiu regretted letting Wu Long say it in front of so many people.

Originally it was impossible, but if you think about it, it may not be impossible. If you are high-minded, you do have this ability.

"Who is Gao Wang?" Chen Mo turned his head and asked Tang Yuan in a low voice.

"Gao Wang, courtesy name Yuan Jin, was born in Luxiang. He was young and intelligent, and had the ability to have a photographic memory. He once studied under the great scholar Zheng Xuan. He was elected Xiaolian at the age of twenty. He served as county magistrate in Suiyang, Liangxian, Xingyang and other places. Ling, he could have been promoted to prefect or an official in the court, but his father passed away three years ago, so he resolutely resigned and returned to his hometown to observe his filial piety. Not long ago, he was visited by Qingzhou governor Gong Jing to worship him as chief administrator. His virtues are well known throughout the country, and this matter must be related to him. It doesn't matter." Tang Yuan was very familiar with the famous people in Qingzhou. When he heard this, he opened his mouth to list Gao Wang's deeds in detail.

Chen Mo looked at him strangely. This case has not been finalized yet. How can he say it doesn't matter? Does having a high reputation prevent you from committing crimes? Then what’s the use of the law?

Taishi Ci sneered disdainfully: "How do you know he wouldn't do this? Even if it's not him, what if it's his family members?"

"Mr. Yuan Jin is a famous person, and his family members are naturally virtuous. It's impossible." Tang Yuan shook his head and said it was impossible.

"Ha~" Tai Shici turned his head and ignored him lazily.

Chen Mo didn't say anything anymore. Now he had some understanding of this noble clan. Of course what Tang Yuan said was wrong, but there was one thing. This matter was related to the Gao family, so it would not be so easy to handle it. , and the incident happened in Dangli, but the Gao family was in Luxiang, separated by a river, but not only two counties, but Luxiang now belongs to Beihai State, and the county magistrates on both sides have different immediate bosses, even if the teacher wants to It's not that easy to do.

"Sir, look..." Zhang Qiu looked directly at Chen Mo and kicked the ball to Chen Mo, leaving Chen Mo speechless.

Originally, it was never Chen Mo's turn to take care of this matter, but it was obvious that Zhang Qiu didn't want to take care of it, and Taishi Ci was not easy to mess with at first glance. If you really drag them in to benefit the children of each family, it will be difficult for you and Donglai County to get along in the future.

Although Zang Hong has a high reputation and is his immediate boss, he will leave sooner or later. If he offends him, he will be offended. At most, he will not be able to keep his job. When Zang Hong leaves, ask someone to intercede and become his county captain again, so he Prepare to kick the pot to Chen Mo.

People's hearts are evil!

Who is Chen Mo? Although he is young, he has struggled to survive in troubled times and has seen too much darkness in human nature. After arriving in Qingzhou, he followed Zang Hong every day and could not talk. However, he had doubts about the people he saw every day and would ask Zang Hong after he returned. Please tell me, I know all the twists and turns in this, so how can I answer this?

Taishi Ci on the side frowned and wanted to say something, but Chen Mo had already spoken first: "Mo is a white person. Although the family teacher is the county magistrate, it is precisely because of this that Mo can't meddle in government affairs at will and ruin the family." The teacher’s reputation is up to County Lieutenant Zhang to make his own decision.”

Zhang Qiu originally thought that a little kid was easy to trick, and he only needed a few words of praise. Unexpectedly, Chen Mo replied with just one sentence. If you ask me to intervene in this matter, you are trying to smear my teacher's reputation. What do you want to do?

"How about..." Zhang Qiu couldn't tell Chen Mo anymore, so he had to say: "We'll talk about it after the county magistrate comes?"

"Lieutenant Zhang can make his own decision, there is no need to ask me."
