Adore me Lingfeng

Chapter 81 Missing

Seeing that it was imperative to search the camp, Mu Junjie said to Zhao Conggu, "I wonder if the county prince can ask the subordinate officials to ask this woman a few words?"

Just asking a few words, Zhao Conggu naturally could only nod his head in agreement, and Mu Junjie immediately got up and walked towards the woman, "Just now you said you are from Peizhou?"

Peizhou was the place where Jiang Yizhou grew up. Jiang Yizhou was an illegitimate child who grew up with his mother in Peizhou. With Taishi Liu's cautious personality, he must arrange the place names to match.The woman became more and more nervous because of Mu Junjie's approach, she lowered her head and replied, "My lord, it's my slave."

"Peizhou is a good place. Unfortunately, I've been there once." This is of course not the truth. As Mu Junjie was speaking, he suddenly reached out and lifted the woman's chin, and looked at her undisguisedly. He lingered over his face carefully, and then said: "It is said that one side of the country supports one side, and this appearance is really good. I don't know what you do for a living in Peizhou——Could it be that you rely on this face?"

At that time, the folk customs in the court were conservative, and Mu Junjie's expression and behavior had already embarrassed and humiliated the woman, and the last sentence made her change color even more. She only felt that the beautiful young man in front of her was so disgusting and hateful, but she could only grit her teeth and answer: "Nu Jia and Xianggong earns his living by farming."

Mu Junjie obviously did it on purpose, because if a person is in a relatively negative emotional state, such as disgust or anger, it will be easier to reveal his true self.For example, when a person is angry, he will lose his usual calmness, and once the superficial camouflage is cracked, it can be easily broken.The woman's reaction was noticed by Mu Junjie, and he picked up the woman's hand and looked at it: "But this hand is so thin and tender, it doesn't look like a farmer at all."

The woman pursed her lips and trembled slightly. Mu Junjie put down her hand, "I suddenly remembered that there is an unknown hill in Peizhou. It seems to be called Lingshan. Only local people know it. There is a spring on the mountain. If you drink the spring water there, you will be strong and healthy for a lifetime, and the local women want their men to drink it——has your husband also drank it?"

Only then did the woman recover from her disgust, and hurriedly nodded and replied, "I have."

"Don't talk nonsense!" Wang Qisheng said suddenly at this moment: "Be sure to think it over before returning to Master Yan's words!"

The woman was startled suddenly, a little overwhelmed and wanted to change her words, but Mu Junjie pressed her every step, and immediately asked: "Did you go to fetch the spring water specially for your husband, or did you go there yourself?"

The woman made such a big fuss just to find her husband, so she could only say: "It's from my slave's house."

However, Mu Junjie changed the subject: "But I remember that there is a monk's temple on this Lingshan Mountain. The spring is in the temple. Women are not allowed to enter. How do you get it?"

"Nujia, I was nervous and misremembered." The woman became panicked when she heard this, and hurriedly kowtowed to explain, "The husband of the Nujia went there by himself."

"Really?" Mu Junjie paused, but said: "Actually, there is no spring on the Lingshan Mountain. I just said the word Lingshan on purpose. May I ask you, where are you going to get the spring water?"

The woman was already in a panic, but she still tried to argue: "No, it's not Lingshan, it was taken from another mountain."

"It seems that Madam's memory is really bad." Mu Junjie smiled, but his tone was serious: "But no matter how bad your memory is, since you grew up in Peizhou, you should know that Peizhou is a plain. There are only hills, how can there be mountains?"

The woman finally slumped on the ground dumbfounded, completely unable to answer, and looked at Wang Qisheng for help.

Mu Junjie stood up, then turned around with a serious expression, and said, "King An and all the adults have also heard it. It is obvious that this woman has not told the truth from the beginning to the end. Our school's Weiying has always had strict military orders. The lying woman was unjustly searched, where will my entire battalion of soldiers be placed? Where will my dynasty be placed in the law? Where will the reputation of Your Majesty be placed? "

Zhao Conggu's face was cold and he didn't speak. Yuan Shangshu saw the situation, but he knew the facts were in front of him. His Majesty liked it, and then he slapped the table hard and said to the woman angrily, "Say, who are you? What are your intentions?!"

The woman was so frightened that she just trembled and couldn't speak at all.Mu Junjie said: "Master Yuan, this matter is obviously not something that an ignorant woman can do, it must be instigated by someone, and it needs to be detained in the Ministry of Punishment according to the regulations and re-examined carefully."

Yuan Heng immediately nodded and said yes, and was about to order the men of the Ministry of Punishments to come forward to arrest him, but Wang Qisheng stopped him: "Master Yuan, this woman came to our yamen to beat the drums to complain about her grievances, so naturally she should be taken into custody by the yamen. What's more, the Ministry of Criminal Justice only deals with crimes involving human life and corruption in various provinces as a rule, and such civil cases should be handed over to the local government."

"Master Wang's words are wrong," Mu Junjie looked at Wang Qisheng: "How could this be an ordinary civil case? How could ordinary people think of going to the military camp? In my opinion, this woman is probably an enemy spy, and according to We follow the law, but if it involves the country's military affairs, it must be handed over to the Ministry of Punishment for adjudication."

Wang Qisheng's expression changed suddenly. Seeing that the woman was about to be taken away by the Ministry of Criminal Justice, a bracelet tied with a small golden Buddha with a red string fell off her body intentionally or unintentionally.

Seeing the bracelet, the woman suddenly clenched her lips and burst into tears. She looked at Wang Qisheng as if pleading, and then, caught off guard, she broke free from the officers and soldiers restraining her and slammed her head against the wooden pillar outside the tent.

The strong smell of blood immediately dissipated with the wind, and Mu Junjie felt so uncomfortable in his stomach that he wanted to vomit. However, he hadn't eaten anything since morning, and even if he vomited, he couldn't vomit anything.

In the blink of an eye, another life was in front of his eyes. Mu Junjie couldn't help but frowned slightly, but vaguely saw that the wrist of the corpse covered by the sleeve seemed to be wearing a red string, so he endured the pain and was about to step forward to check corpse.

The woman died horribly, and the smell of blood became stronger as she got closer. Mu Junjie's face was extremely pale for a while, his temples throbbed more and more violently, and he was so uncomfortable that he almost couldn't stand upright.The next moment, a warm and strong hand held onto his shoulder.

Mu Junjie knew it was Zhao Zongzhi's hand without raising his head.

Seeing that Zhao Zongzhi had also come, Yuan Heng, Wang Qisheng and others immediately saluted, but Zhao Zongzhi waved them away.Mu Junjie then backed away from Zhao Zongzhi. Zhao Zongzhi frowned slightly, then looked at Zhao Conggu and said, "The king of An Jun really has leisure today, so he came to Xiaowei's camp early in the morning."

"It just so happened that I was free today, and I was passing by, so I came to see the excitement." Zhao Zonggu smiled inexplicably, "Isn't King Ning also here?"

"I happen to be free today." Zhao Zongzhi said coldly again: "Master Yan has just recovered from his injury, so it is not suitable to worry about it. Since this matter has nothing to do with the captain's camp, and it is just an ordinary woman who died, it is better to leave it to Wang Adults handle it."

This sound was categorical and unquestionable.In a blink of an eye, another county king came. Seeing that the incident was getting bigger and bigger, the officials present were a little bit flustered. They just wanted to calm the matter down, and naturally they were eager to end it soon.And the woman was dead, and Zhao Zonggu was not interested in making a fuss about the corpse, let alone the corpse fell to Wang Qisheng as he wished, and finally left in a huff.

At the same time that Zhao Conggu left, the military doctor carried the medicine box into the camp of Jiang Xu, Mu Junjie's other deputy, and the person recuperating in it was Jiang Yizhou.

Jiang Yizhou has been assigned a new identity, and has been incorporated into the Captain's Battalion, starting as an ordinary sergeant.The method of putting Jiang Yizhou in the military camp seems risky, but it is actually very safe. If he hides somewhere else, he will be found by Liu Taishi and others sooner or later. The sergeants of each battalion only obey the command of their own generals, and other people have no right to issue orders to them no matter how senior they are.

After all, Jiang Yizhou hurt Mu Junjie. Although Zhao Zongzhi obeyed Mu Junjie's words and saved him, he made Jiang Yizhou suffer a lot, and his injury has not healed until now.However, Jiang Yizhou was also a man. After receiving Zhao Zongzhi's reply that he was willing to destroy the Tianji Pavilion and save Chu Xiao, he let himself be killed and cut, without making a sound no matter how hard he tossed, and finally got a little bit of sympathy from Zhao Zongzhi.

The camp quickly returned to its former tranquility, and the blood was completely wiped out.Mu Junjie sat leaning in front of the desk in the big tent, his face still very pale.Zhao Zongzhi asked his subordinates to bring up the food box, opened the lid, and the aroma of steaming food immediately spread in the air. From various dishes to after-meal snacks, they were all Mu Junjie's favorite flavors.

Zhao Zongzhi first scooped up a spoonful of soup with his own hands and blew it over, "Would you like to eat more or less?"

Mu Junjie didn't look at Tang in front of him, and didn't speak.He had retched once just now, Zhao Zongzhi asked worriedly: "Is it still uncomfortable?"

Mu Junjie still didn't speak, Zhao Zongzhi compulsively put the spoon to Mu Junjie's lips, "I didn't have breakfast today, and it's already noon now, so I have to eat some no matter what."

Mu Junjie finally reacted, but asked out loud: "Since a person died in the barracks, do you know that I can completely keep the corpse? Do you know that many things can be found even by looking at the corpse?"

This time it was Zhao Zongzhi's turn to be silent.

"Even if you hand over the body to the Ministry of Criminal Justice, why did you let Wang Qisheng take it away? Don't tell me you don't know that Wang Qisheng is from Zhao Conggu!"

"It's because Wang Qisheng belongs to Zhao Conggu." Zhao Zongzhi finally said, "In this way, Zhao Conggu will leave with peace of mind."

"He came here today to find fault," Mu Junjie became more and more angry, "Why do you want him to leave at ease?!"

"Then how long do you want to stand in a stalemate with him today?" Zhao Zongzhi couldn't help but get louder, "You had such a bad complexion at that time, you might faint if you stand in front of the corpse for a while, you know! "

Mu Junjie swung the spoon in front of him with a snap, and the spoon fell on the carpet and rolled around several times, "So what if I faint or not? It has nothing to do with you, and it has nothing to do with your meddling indiscriminately today." It doesn't matter!"

Zhao Zongzhi took a deep breath to calm himself down completely, then leaned over to pick up the spoon, and cleaned it up little by little.

"You also know that there are Taishi Liu and Queen Mother Liu behind Zhao Conggu." Putting down the spoon, Zhao Zongzhi said in a soft tone as much as possible: "Although Zhao Conggu is a villain who will do anything to win the throne, he actually has no brains. Grand Master Liu should have arranged everything. Even Your Majesty has no choice but to offend the Liu family, not to mention offending a gentleman rather than a villain. Since you have no grievances or enmities with them, why do you want to make things difficult for them?"

Mu Junjie pursed his lips tightly and did not speak.What do you say?Said that the Liu family was his father-killing enemy?Said that he wanted to overthrow the Liu family, and then force the Queen Mother Liu to confess all the crimes in person, so as to restore her status in an open and honest manner?Said that he actually yearns for power more than Zhao Conggu, and wants that seat?

Zhao Zongzhi, who has always been reticent and indifferent, can only speak so much patiently when facing Mu Junjie, "I know that many things can be found along the body, but with Liu Taishi's character, since he failed today, I won’t take the risk to do it again, so it’s better to settle the matter. You must know that sometimes holding someone else’s handle in your hand is actually like giving the enemy a knife in reverse. You don’t know when you are caught off guard and you are stabbed. It’s very dangerous. So why do you have to be so ruthless?"

Mu Junjie chuckled for a while, and looked at Zhao Zongzhi coldly: "Why, are you teaching me a lesson?"

"I just don't want you to be in any danger," Zhao Zongzhi frowned more and more. "The most important thing is that Gongsunli said that you shouldn't think too much and work hard in the past six months. You didn't have a good rest last night, and..."

"So what about last night?" Mentioning the indescribable emotion that flashed in Mu Junjie's eyes last night, his tone was even colder: "Ning Junwang, I just slept with you once, it doesn't mean we have anything to do with each other. It doesn't mean you have the right to interfere in my affairs."

After Mu Junjie finished speaking, he got up and went straight out.He was still enthusiastic last night, but today he was so indifferent. Zhao Zongzhi was at a loss for what to say if he changed his face.From the first day he met Mu Junjie, Zhao Zongzhi never figured out what Mu Junjie was thinking. Zhao Zongzhi still had no expression on his face, but he was panicked in his heart. The feared thing really came true, but just now, Mu Junjie had already walked out of the big tent.

Zhao Zongzhi chased him out immediately, but the figure of his sweetheart was nowhere to be seen.

Mu Junjie was walking slowly on the street alone, and he saw the Nine Tiers Union posted on the doors of the people along the way, and the children playing on the side of the road were also eating glutinous rice balls, and the mellow aroma of winter wine was still wafting in the air. It turned out that the winter solstice has arrived.

There has always been a folk saying that "the winter solstice is as big as the new year". On the day of the winter solstice, every household must get together lively, and even those who are away from home must go home for the winter festival to express their destination at the end of the year.

Because the ancestors are worshiped on that day, if anyone does not return home during the winter solstice, he will be said to have forgotten his ancestors.But his father was first killed by the killers sent by Xixia, and finally burned to ashes by the Empress Dowager Liu and Taishi Liu in a fire. Now the Lin Mansion has become a wilderness, and he doesn't even know where to go to worship.

Mu Junjie unconsciously recalled the past, when Mu's family was still quite famous in Jianghu and his mother was still alive, on the evening of the winter solstice, the servants would light up the red candles in the whole hall as bright as day, implying the prosperity of the family. Then the father, who is the head of the house, lit incense and set off cannons, and the whole family gathered together to make cakes with their own hands.

The cake balls are red, because the red balls symbolize the prosperity of the family, and the mother will also wear a red shirt, which is very beautiful and dazzling under the lights.The little Mu Junjie was hugged by his father and sat on a high stool, smiling and clapping his little hands to learn how to make cakes with his parents, but he only made a bunch of ugly and out-of-shape puppies. His face and hands were dirty, and then his parents pinched his little face with love and anger respectively, and finally, he was taken down to wash it off by the distressed mother.

Nanny is the nanny of the mother, who came with the marriage and loves him very much.The year my father left home for Bianjing, Nanny was over 70 years old, and my mother was sick and needed someone to take care of her, but he didn't know that he was playing and making trouble all day long.There was an apricot tree in the front yard of Mu's house, and the apricots were just ripe, so Mu Junjie insisted on climbing up to pick them himself, but the nanny couldn't resist him, so she could only lean on her crutches and follow up anxiously, trembling slightly under the tree : Be careful when going up, the mother-in-law will continue below.

Just as Mu Junjie climbed up the tree, he heard a muffled sound coming from under the tree.Looking down, she saw that Mammy's thin body had fallen to the ground, like a dead leaf in winter.

Mammy was too old to wait for him to grow up.Then, my mother also died of illness, and then...

Mu Junjie didn't think about it anymore, standing alone in the empty street, tears suddenly filled his eyes.

For a while, it was obvious that my heart ached to the extreme, but I still had to endure it desperately, not to let the tears fall.

Because from that time back then, Mu Junjie knew that tears were actually shed for others to see, and it was useless to cry loudly when no one cared about him.

People are born unequal. Some people are born to be happy and happy, while others are born to be miserable and lonely.Some people are qualified to be innocent and kind all their lives, while some people must be cruel and decisive in their lives.

What's more, he is so selfish, not only yearns for power, but also enjoys the taste of taking other people's lives, and he is not qualified to say that he is wronged.Mu Junjiejing waited for the tears to dry completely in his eyes, and turned the corner of the street, just in time to see a pair of ordinary commoner father and son walking towards each other in the alley. Eating candied haws with a smile on his body.

Just like when he was a child, his father carried him on his back.Mu Junjie was stunned for a moment, but suddenly his left hand moved, and he spontaneously slapped the father and son who passed by the wrong shoulder!

The strength of Zhang Feng was so great that nearly nine layers of internal force were used, and the father and son vomited blood and died on the spot.However, it was still a step too late, a thin needle had already been pierced into the shoulder by the child, Mu Junjie's heart sank, and the drowsiness that came to his mind made him no longer have time to think about it, he just opened his eyes in vain. Suddenly, he saw two figures jumping down from the wall and walking towards him quickly.

Mu Junjie woke up from the cold.

Opening his eyes, he felt the coldness beneath his body, and soon realized that he was lying on the cold stone platform in only a thin undershirt, with his hands and feet tied into a big humiliating shape.

"Young master is finally awake." A hoarse and unpleasant voice sounded, and Mu Junjie saw a thin man standing four or five steps away in front of him through the dim light.Immediately afterwards, the man actually took out a knife, stepped forward and cut Mu Junjie's finger, and then squeezed some blood into the wide-mouthed porcelain bottle in his hand.

Enduring the pain in his fingertips, Mu Junjie looked around, only to see that there were no doors or windows around, it seemed to be a secret room, only a candle lamp flickered faintly.He wanted to speak, only to realize that his mouth was gagged.

"Do you want to ask where this is? Do you want to ask who I am?" The man put the porcelain vase aside, and the low voice sounded again, "You don't need to know these, because from now on, all you need to know is one The main thing is how to obediently be a whore for people to play with."
