Chapter 009 Explain!

At this moment, the solemnity and silence of half an hour ago reappeared in the main hall of the Su family. The difference is that this time the ones with calm expressions and relaxed postures are the Su Shou brothers and a group of officials from the third division, while they are speechless, even wishing they could. The man who found a crack in the ground and got in was the menacing Han Mo!

Looking at the white paper he was holding in his hands and the empty interior of the box without any trace of gunpowder, he didn't know how to explain all this.

Why was it that his people found this box from the Yuan family based on clues about Yuan Qing's death, but it turned out to be such a big basket?

Donglin Guard has always been known for its rigorous work, but now not only does the matter occur in Donglin Guard, but it is also a matter that he, Han Mo, is responsible for. As a result, not only is Yuan Qing's unjust case hindered from hearing, but he is also unable to withdraw...

He recalled the whole thing, and remembered that when the box was found, even Yuan Qing's wife He was shocked and surprised. If she had done something, she could have destroyed the evidence, and there was no need to forge one and put it there. But if He has never even touched or dropped the bag, so will Yuan Qing still lie?

"Master Han, what's going on with this box? I need to ask you to give me an explanation. You keep saying that this box contains evidence, but not only is there no evidence, there is no gunpowder either. I don't know how to report it to the emperor when I get back. .”

Pan Songling, a doctor from the Criminal Department, coughed and broke the silence. The others also reacted one after another, looking at Han Mo with burning eyes, somewhat gloating. After all, who was forcing him a quarter of an hour ago? Who made the decision to open the lock? Now that the lock is open, but there is no evidence of what he said, shouldn't they want an explanation?

Han Mo looked up at him, walked up to him, and then stepped on the stool in front of him: "I, Han Mo, am a rough man and don't know how to write. Why don't you teach me how to write these two words?"

Although Pan Songling is a little older, he is a scholar. Not only in stature but also in imposing manner, he is actually a bit shorter in front of this young man!

Han Mo fixed his cold gaze on his face and held up the box with his other hand: "Even if I want to explain, it's not Master Pan's turn to listen to this explanation. If you don't teach me, then I will withdraw!"

Faced with this mountain of oppression, how could Pan Songling say anything? He could only let him lead the troops and leave in a mighty manner!



Han Mo returned to the house with a gloomy look on his face, carrying the box. The atmosphere in the entire Anqing Hall immediately became so solemn that it seemed like it was weighing down a mountain.

Dou Yin and Song Yan then walked in, looked at the box and then looked at Han Mo: "Yuan Qing did say so before his death. He buried the box under the bluestone floor tiles in the warehouse. It was one foot long and half a foot wide. There was a mold cast on the outer wall of the box. A bat. Except for the contents inside and the gunpowder mechanism embedded in it, this box is exactly what he said."

As he spoke, he turned the side with the bat over to show him.

Han Mo sat down in frustration, waving his hands to express that he didn't want to read anymore. He had already seen what he needed to see just now at Su's house, and if he had any questions, he wouldn't wait until now.

Besides, Dou Yin and Song Yan have been following him since he was twelve years old. The three of them cooperated tacitly, and they also knew his thoughts well. So he didn't think that Dou Yin would even get this wrong, but he did think about it. I don’t understand why such a change happened again?

Since Yuan Qing discovered that his wife He had committed adultery with Luo Zhi during his lifetime, he would definitely try to leave evidence. So this evidence must exist, but it is no longer stored in this copper box.

"Yuan Qing's death was sudden. Could it be that he felt unsafe before his death, so he changed the place to put it aside?"

Song Yan tried to guess.

Han Mo looked at him: "Have you seen Yuan Qing's body, are you sure he died of homicide?"

Song Yan nodded solemnly: "The body was found in the moat. There was alcohol in his mouth. On the night of the incident, the person drinking at the same table with him was a brother from the guardhouse. He really had to pass by the moat when he returned home, and he really didn't know how to swim.

, the idea of ​​a drunken stupor seems to make sense.

"But I checked and found that one of his boots was missing, and there was some moss between the toenails. Moreover, I also went to see it on site and found that the water where the accident occurred was not deep. This shows that Yuan Qing was injured after falling into the water.

There is still a chance to escape, or at least call for help. The most important thing is that there is no sludge in the back of his nasal cavity."

Seeing that Han Mo's eyes were getting deeper, he continued: "If it is a normal drowning, he will inevitably take a big breath when he first falls into the water, and when the river water is not deep, he will inevitably inhale the sludge at the bottom of the river.

That is to say, based on the current evidence below the surface, I firmly believe that Yuan Qing died of murder."

Han Mo stroked the back of his head.

Dou Yin stood for a moment, then continued Song Yan's words: "Since it has been confirmed that Yuan Qing died of homicide, the matter arose from the adultery between Luo Zhi and He. It was obviously a matter of redressing Yuan Qing's grievances, but the trouble ended up involving us.

On top of my head, I'm worried, could this be a trap?"

Song Yan said: "Who is in charge?"

Dou Yin was silent for a moment, then said: "What if it is Luo Zhi? The purpose is to target Donglin Wei, or the Crown Prince. Because obviously, by pretending that there is gunpowder in the box, the Crown Prince is eager to obtain evidence, so he will put pressure on the Third Division. This is also

It is equivalent to forcing the prince to offend the officials of the third department. If the box cannot be opened, the prince will think that the evidence is inside, but cannot be taken out. Therefore, Yuan Qing's death will be ignored due to lack of evidence, and his death will be in vain. And if

If it is opened, the current situation will directly push the crown prince to the forefront."

Han Mo propped up his chin and frowned deeply.

"Your Majesty!"

At this time, Liangxi, a young servant, walked in with a panic look on his face: "The guards came to report that Dingyuan General Luo Zhi just beat drums and cried out for injustice under the Chengtian Gate, accusing the crown prince of fabricating evidence and falsely accusing courtiers. The emperor has summoned the third division to be responsible for the trial.

All the officials involved in the Yuan Qing case have entered the palace, and His Highness the Crown Prince came out to send a message, asking the Crown Prince to take a closer look at this body!"

One sentence made the whole room fall into silence!

Han Mo stood up, his dark face turned black: "What a Luo Zhi! Now you even want me to believe that he wasn't the one behind it!"

Dou Yin also stepped forward solemnly: "He must have heard the news from the officials who left the Su family, or there are people of his in the Su family today. Even His Highness the Crown Prince has sent people to send a message to remind the Crown Prince. I don't know what happened.

What kind of trouble Luo Zhi has caused in front of the emperor!"

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"

As soon as he finished speaking, another guard rushed into the room: "Madam is coming to Anqing Hall! She still has a cane in her hand!"

Han Mo didn't lose his composure when he heard Luo Zhi's complaint. When he heard Mrs. Yang coming over, he immediately took two steps back subconsciously: "Oh no! My mother must have heard the news and come to me. She will definitely use this as an excuse."

He blamed me for getting into trouble, and then scolded me for not entering Donglin Guard!"
