Chapter 282 [Department of Punishment Autopsy]
The two archers climbed the mountain along the trajectory of Han Mo up the mountain. When they reached the middle of the mountain, they saw the poor Mo Siyuan. The blood on the boy's head had dried up and the armor outside had been removed. When the two archers saw Mo Siyuan, they were shocked and reached out to find their breath. They were already dead and were surprised. They were worried about Han Mo's safety, so they rushed towards the temple on the top of the mountain.
The soldiers climbing up were even more surprised when they smelled the bloody smell in the wind, knowing that something must have happened on the mountain, and they soon saw that the fire on the top of the mountain was soaring into the sky, and the blazing fire covered the sky. They were all very surprised. They rushed to the top of the mountain and saw that the temple gate was open, and a guy covered in blood was shouting loudly: "We...we are buried..."
Some people in the cavalry knew that it was Wei Li, and some people shouted: "Where is Lord Murong?"
"Sir..." Wei Li's left shoulder was obviously cut, and blood was flowing down his face with sadness and anger: "We were ambushed by a spy from Wei State... Sir... Sir... Sir... Sir..."
The soldiers rushed into the courtyard and saw that the hall was already filled with fire. The fire had spread to the houses on both sides of the road. The Zen courtyard was full of corpses. One of them was panting against the golden bodhi tree, and his body was covered in blood. His armor was gone. It was Han Mo.
"Han Guardian!" All the archers came forward to protect Han Mo.
Han Mo waved his hand and said, "I'm fine. Take away the bodies of Lord Murong and Captain Zeng. Here... there is a fire here and it will collapse soon. Go down the mountain!"
The main hall had already collapsed, and the soldiers dared not say much. Although they were confused about what happened in the Zen temple, someone still came forward to carry Zeng Qing's body, picked up his broken arm, and quickly went down the mountain.
Murong He's body and head separated, and no one dared to go forward to carry it. In the end, one of the brave men mustered up the courage to carry the body. Another soldier picked up his head with his clothes and went down the mountain one after another.
Han Mo and Wei Li also dropped their weapons and went down to the foot of the mountain. At this time, they looked at the Moonlight Temple again and saw that the fire had spread out from the Moonlight Temple, igniting the surrounding trees.
There is wind at night, and the fire is burning vigorously with the wind.
The soldiers came down the mountain and looked at the fires everywhere, and were shocked.
Someone had asked: "Sir, what happened on this mountain?"
Han Mo was extremely sad and angry, glared at the mountain and said, "What a group of cunning enemies...I..." He sighed heavily, with a look of grief. The archers beside him hurriedly advised, "It's good if you have nothing to do... Well, sir, you have an injury on your leg..."
Han Mo did have a knife wound on his leg, but it was not serious. At that moment, soldiers helped clean up and bandage.
Wei Li said with his eyes widened, "Person Zeng and I followed the Lord to the mountain. Just as Lord Han was besieged by the enemy, Lord Murong immediately led us to help the battle... Those enemy bands were actually mixed among the monks of the temple. We fought hard, Lord Murong and Captain Zeng fought hard and died for the country... Lord Han was also injured. Fortunately, those enemy bands had been killed by us, and one enemy band broke over the candlesticks during the fight and burned a big fire..."
Everyone present knew that Wei Li was Murong He's confidant. Since he said that, what he said was definitely true. Someone had already cursed: "These bandits are so bold... We should cut them into pieces."
Han Mo sighed: "Mr. Murong is really a brave general. Before his death, he killed two enemy enemies. He was extremely brave. It is really heroic. Captain Zeng also defeated an enemy enemy. If it weren't for Lord. Murong and Captain Zeng, we would have no reason to survive...!" He shook his head, looking quite sad.
After a little rest, everyone in the Leopard Turf Camp quickly returned to the capital with two corpses.
It is really no trivial to die a guard.
...
...
Master Xiao is old and thinks about a lot of things. He goes to bed very late every night. He drinks a bowl of ginseng tea before going to bed every day to replenish his vitality.
Before dawn, Master Xiao squinted his eyes for a while before he heard Xiao Huaijin's anxious voice coming from outside the door: "Father, something is wrong!"
Master Xiao opened his eyes and was very calm. In his heart, his eldest son was too far behind his younger son. The most important point was that Xiao Huaijin had never been calm.
Xiao Huaiyu is the kind of person who will not panic even if the sky falls. He will remain calm when the wind does not move.
However, Xiao Huaijin's temperament was panicked when encountering problems, which made Master Xiao very dissatisfied with him, and he felt that his eldest son was really not a big deal.
He didn't think there was anything that needed to disturb him in the early morning, but when Xiao Huaijin told him the news, the old teacher opened his mouth wide and couldn't believe it.
"Murong He is dead!"
Tai Shi Xiao didn't believe it and looked at Xiao Huaijin coldly, and Xiao Huaijin said with certainty: "The body has been brought back to the Leopard Turf Camp and has informed the Ministry of Justice. The Ministry of Justice sent people to the Leopard Turf Camp overnight, and Qingzhi sent people to communicate...!"
Qingzhi was naturally He Qingzhi, the Minister of Justice. He Qingzhi naturally understood the relationship between Murong He and the Xiao family, so after confirmation, he immediately sent someone to report.
The importance of Murong He to the strategic significance of the Xiao family is self-evident. He is the only person in the Xiao family who has the hope of making a fuss in the Imperial Guard. Master Xiao tolerate the various flaws in Murong He's character, and what he imagines is the important role of Murong He on the Xiao family.
But this person carefully cultivated by the Xiao family suddenly came out of his death, so why didn't this shock Master Xiao?
Master Xiao's eyes flashed with strange colors. Although he was very surprised, he was a person who had been storms after all. He slowly sat down at the table, frowned, and the room was silent for a while.
"How did you die?" After a long time, Master Xiao asked slowly.
Xiao Huaijin said carefully: "Qingzhi only said that his body and head are separated... As for the details, he has not reported it yet."
"The body and head are separated..." Master Xiao's mouth twitched, and his eyes were filled with a cold light: "Murong He, Murong He, my hard work has been ruined by you..."
"But...!" Xiao Huaijin glanced at Master Xiao and said softly: "I heard that Han Xuanchang's son Han Mo is also involved in this matter... When Murong He died, Han Mo was at the scene!"
The cold light in Master Xiao's eyes became even stronger: "Han Mo?"
"yes!"
Master Xiao closed his eyes, and after a long time, he opened his eyes and said, "Tell Qingzhi that this case must be verified... Murong He is probably dead at the hands of that stinky brat..."
"Father, Han Mo is really so brave?" Xiao Huaijin said with some doubts: "If you don't mention killing the imperial officials, Han Mo will not know that Murong He is not only from our Xiao family, but also from Princess Xiu? Even Han Xuandao and Han Xuanchang may not dare to take action. How many courage does Han Mo have?"
"A newborn calf is not afraid of tigers." Master Xiao said coldly: "Han Mo may not dare to do things that Han Xuandao dare not do." He paused, squinted his eyes, and looked sinister: "I want to know what opportunity Han Mo found to kill Murong He... Although that kid was young, he was not a reckless person... Since he took action, he must have found a great opportunity...!" He looked up and said: "Hui Jin, instruct Qingzhi that this case is not a trivial matter, and he must not let go of any clues. Even if it was not done by Han Mo, he must let the Ministry of Justice peel off a layer of Han Mo!"
Xiao Huaijin bowed and left.
Master Xiao slowly walked to the window and opened it. Several banana trees outside the window swayed in the night wind like ghosts dancing.
He stared at the ghostly banana tree, and after a long time, he uttered two vicious words: "Han...mo..."
...
In the tent of the cavalry team of the Leopard Camp, Murong He and Zeng Qing's bodies were placed underground in the tent, and the soldiers who accompanied him, including Han Mo, were waiting outside the tent.
If Murong He died in the battlefield, the matter after his death will naturally be handled by the Ministry of War. However, this time he went out of the city to surround the enemy. To be precise, it was for the actual combat military exercise. If a murder case occurred during the military exercise, the Ministry of Justice naturally had the obligation and power to intervene. Han Mo also understood this, so after entering the city, he immediately sent someone to the Ministry of Justice to report the news.
There were also people on duty at night in the Ministry of Justice. I heard that it was the captain of the lieutenant of the Leopard Camp who was killed and a captain was also hired. The person who died was not A Mao and Gou. Many people knew about the relationship between Murong He and the Xiao family. He happened to be on duty at the Ministry of Justice, and He Qingzhi's mansion, so they went to the Minister of Justice's Mansion overnight to report the matter.
He Qing's natural way of Murong He stood up overnight and brought more than a dozen officials from the Ministry of Justice to the Leopard Camp to examine the body and determine the cause of death. After seeing Murong He's death, he naturally had to send people to the Grand Turkish Mansion to report it.
When the cavalry soldiers learned that Murong He was killed, they were naturally happy and worried. However, the military rules were strict, so they naturally did not dare to lean over to watch. However, they muttered privately that it was also an indispensable thing.
Han Mo and others were waiting in the night wind outside the tent.
Looking at the moon in the sky, Han Mo was extremely calm. The West Flower Hall was doing things neatly, not to mention that the Moonlight Temple was burned. Even if some flaws that were not noticed were left behind, they were probably burned completely by the fire.
A sound of horse hooves sounded, and everyone looked at the people who came and saw dozens of riders rushing towards them, most of whom were armored, and only the leader was a brocade robe.
The horse stopped, and Han Mo immediately recognized that the man in the brocade robe was the commander of the Leopard Camp. Jade Qinglun was in poor health, so he unexpectedly came over overnight this time.
Behind him, three lieutenants of the Leopard Turban camp, including Dou Shan, and several lieutenants came over surrounded by several cavalrymen. Dou Shan was the first to get off the horse and stepped forward to help Jade Qinglun dismount.
Han Mo had already brought everyone forward to worship, knelt down on one knee, and said in unison: "See the commander!"
Jade Qinglun rarely came to the Leopard Camp, but his prestige was everywhere. When the soldiers saw the old man coming over overnight, they seemed a little excited, and everyone's eyes flashed with awe.
The door of the big tent opened, and He Qingzhi in the tent obviously heard the movement outside the tent. When he came out and saw Jade Qinglun, he immediately clasped his fists and said, "The old general came so late and disturbed the old general. I'm sorry, sorry!"
Jade Qinglun coughed, took out the brocade plaster from his sleeve and wiped the corner of his mouth, then he clasped his fists and returned the salute, saying, "I have received the news, so come and take a look... What did Lord He find out?"
He Qingzhi glanced at Han Mo as if nothing had happened and sighed: "Don't be anxious, old general, Murong Shenling..."
Jade Qinglun coughed again, and when the cough stopped diarrhea, he said lightly: "I heard from them that Murong He died in a fierce battle with the enemy... The warriors of the Leopard Camp, it is not embarrassing to die in this way...!" Another coughing, his body was hunched over, and the soldiers showed unbearable expressions in their eyes. Han Mo saw it and added a little more respect to the commander. He only felt that he would love him so much, and then his life would not be in vain.
He Qingzhi nodded and said, "What the old general said is...but this matter needs to be investigated carefully. He always has to go to Moonlight Temple to see the scene. Otherwise, if my Ministry of Justice draws a conclusion rashly, he will probably be disrespectful to Murong Shenling..."
Jade Qinglun nodded slightly, looked at Han Mo and said, "Guard Han, are you at the scene too?"
