Chapter Eleven: There is Providence in the Darkness(2/3)

In fact, Chen Dezhi has heard of these things.

Wang Bao once prepared some generous gifts to visit him, but Chen Dezhi has always avoided him.

Of course, he targeted Wang Bao not only, but he almost never dated wealthy businessmen in the city because he was not as fond of profit-oriented businessmen.

After listening to the captain's report, Chen Dezhi nodded: "Okay, I understand!"

Then, he called someone to invite Mo Ziming to the inner yard and informed him of the results of the investigation in detail.

After listening, Mo Ziming smiled and said, "Mr. Chen, Xiaosheng is not a person in the officialdom. The truth of this case has been revealed. I believe that he has made a decision."

"Oh, I'm not hiding Mo Jieyuan's words, the lower officials are really in a dilemma now.

From the perspective of the following officials, Wang Bao is indeed dead, but from the law, Wang Gui and Cai did premeditately kill someone and violate the law."

Mo Ziming thought for a while and said, "The little student is not convenient to interfere with the adults' case, but he can give him a word."

Chen Dezhi looked happy: "Mo Jieyuan, come on, let me listen carefully!"

"The law is nothing more than human kindness, and justice is in the hearts of the people!"

Hearing this, Chen Dezhi was stunned for a moment, murmured and repeated, then he browned and stood up to bow to Mo Ziming: "Thank you, Mo Jieyuan, for your advice, the official knows how to break up this case."

"Okay, then the young student will say goodbye."

Chen Dezhi insisted on staying and said, "Why don't Mo Jieyuan stay for a few more days? Is it possible for the senior officials to complete their local friendship?"

"Thank you, Lord Chen, for your kindness. This has been delayed for a few days. I will have the chance to get together again in the future."

In fact, Mo Ziming can guess without staying, and Chen Dezhi will definitely be open-minded.

As expected, Chen Dezhi fully mobilized his wisdom and forced himself to escape the crimes of Wang Gui and Alan.

After many open and secret investigations, I finally found another insider: a close maid beside Wang when he was alive.

This maid confirmed the fact that Wang Bao was not Wang Xing's biological child.

She accidentally eavesdropped on the conversation between Wang Xing and his wife, but she never dared to tell her fear of being killed.

Later, when she got married, she kept the secret in her heart.

This proves that what Wang Gui said is not false, and he is the only heir of the Wang family.

In addition, the Wang family members all accused Wang and Wang Bao of bullying Wang Gui and his son. The death of the Wang family made people applaud and believed that he deserved the crime.

However, in order not to make people sick and to deal with their superiors, Chen Dezhi detained Wang Gui and his wife for half a month and fined 2,000 taels of silver.

Wang Gui has now inherited the family business and has taken out the 2,000 taels of silver. When he handed over the silver... Isn't it a happy thing for everyone? What are the benefits of several parties?

Of course, these are all later stories.

Let’s talk about Mo Ziming’s journey south after leaving the county town, and the next day he arrived at Xingping Prefecture.

As soon as I entered the city, I saw many people gathered around the bulletin board and talked a lot, while a man who looked like a scholar was chanting the content of the bulletin loudly.

"There are evil demons who are in chaos in Cangyun Mountain and are frequently harming the passing people. Now we are looking for experts to calm down the demons and reward 100 taels of silver..."

Hearing this, the people suddenly became excited.

"One hundred taels of silver? Wouldn't this be rich?"

"Get rich? Is it the material of the coffin?"

"I heard that many people have died in Cangyun Mountain recently, and even the government is offering rewards now. It seems that it is true."

"Oh, if I could catch monsters, one hundred taels... I'm afraid I won't earn so much in my life..."

"You can earn by dreaming more..."

After all, one hundred taels of silver is out of reach for ordinary people.

Mo Ziming subconsciously asked the person next to him: "Brother, where is Cangyun Mountain?"

"Youngsheng, are you from other places? Cangyun Mountain is located in the east of the city, eighty or ninety miles away from the city."

"Oh, thank you... By the way, let me ask you again, how can I leave the government office?"

"Oh? Young Master, you don't want to catch monsters, are you? Walk along this street to the end, walk south further, and see it after two intersections and eastward."

"Thank you!"

Mo Ziming bowed his hand and turned away.

After about a stick of incense, I saw the government office.

Mo Ziming went up and said to the door: "Please inform me, here is the demonic disaster in Cangyun Mountain."

Upon hearing this, the doorman looked at Mo Ziming carefully for a while and said in surprise: "You can catch monsters?"

Because Mo Ziming looks like a scholar no matter how he looks, he thinks that those who can catch monsters are either monks or Taoists, so he is naturally confused.

"I'll know a little bit, now I'm here to learn more about the situation."

"This...well, you wait a moment, I'll report."

"It's been a labor."

After a while, he walked out again and raised his hand at Mo Ziming: "Follow me."

After passing through the two courtyards, I came to an outside of a wing room.

The door yelled outside: "Sir Ding, the person is here."

"Let him in!"

"yes!"

The door responded, and then said to Mo Ziming: "Get in, Master Ding is inside."

"Thank you!"

Mo Ziming replied, and then walked into the wing room.

An old man in dark blue clothes sat at the table. When he saw Mo Ziming looking majestic, he couldn't help but get up and smiled, "Looking at the young master's appearance, I guess he is a scholar?"

"Yes, Xiao's surname Mo is a scholar."

Mo Ziming did not reveal his identity.

"Oh, it turns out it's Mo Xiucai... I heard from the doorman that you are here to receive a reward for catching monsters?"

"Well, please help Mr. Ding and provide some detailed information."

Master Ding sighed: "There is no way to do this, and what we know is very limited.

To be honest, Lord Fang sent three groups of people to Cangyun Mountain to check on the spot, but four people disappeared mysteriously.

The only gain was to bring back two bodies of the murdered people…”

"The corpse?" Mo Ziming felt aroused: "Can we let us go and see?"

Master Ding nodded, then walked to the door and called a yamen runner to take Mo Ziming to check the body.

When he arrived at the morgue, Mo Ziming couldn't help but frown when he saw it...

The deceased were two strong men, one in his twenties and the other in his thirties.

The two of them had the same death condition, and there were no obvious external injuries on their bodies, both of them were like mummies.

After checking for a while, Mo Ziming left the morgue, asked the yamen runner again about the location of Cangyun Mountain, and then left the government office and left the city...

At the same time.

In a small garden in the inner yamen, a middle-aged man with a slightly fat face looked sad and paced back and forth with his hands behind his back.

This person's name is Fang Wenyu, and he is the prefect of Xingping Prefecture. He has been in office for less than half a month.

Before the official duties were sorted out, they received reports one after another, saying that Cangyun Mountain was in trouble.

For an official who has just taken office, this is not a good sign, so he will offer a reward for catching monsters in time and try to calm the matter down as soon as possible.

"Sir, someone just received the reward..."

"Oh? What kind of person?"

"I don't know very well, but that person has gone to find Master Ding."

"Go and call Master Ding over."

"Yes, sir!"

After a while, Master Ding hurried over.

"See Lord Fang!"

"Well, Master Ding, someone has asked you to catch a monster before?"

"Report to the adults, someone has indeed found a villain, he is a scholar..."

Upon hearing this, Fang Wenyu looked surprised: "Scholar?"

"Yes, he claimed that his surname was Mo and he was a scholar. According to the villain's eyes, that scholar Mo seemed a little different..."

"Wait, do you say his surname is Mo?"
To be continued...
