General, cut off your sleeves!

Chapter 26: The General Arrives

"General Zou? This is not a barracks where you can come in and out at will!"

No one would have a good temper to be so neglected and forcefully barged into one's office, and His Majesty's expression at this time was not very good.

However, Zou Jinchu bowed to him and apologized first, "It's Zou's fault, it disturbed your lord's work, but what Zou said was the key to this case, he rushed in in a moment of impatience, please forgive me."

The apology is sincere, but it's a pity that he walked in at a leisurely pace, the devil would believe that he rushed in in a hurry!But the judge is not an unreasonable person, and he doesn't want to offend this third-rank official for the sake of dead rules, so his anger dissipated, and he nodded expressionlessly, which is considered to have exposed the matter.

Zou Jinchu first took a quick look at Mo Wanqing, and saw that he was injured and haggard, his eyes were darkened, but his face did not reveal anything.

He walked down the hall and slowly stood still.

"Since you said that there are key points that have not been presented, let's talk about it."

It seems that the judge is not willing to spend much time talking with him, and he can't wait to get rid of this uninvited guy as soon as possible.

Zou Jinchu nodded slightly, and said: "I just met this little brother that day, and I made a bet because of my temper. If you stand in front of someone's window, you win."

As he spoke, he paused, glanced at Boss Zhang and said apologetically, "We only found out afterwards that it was Zhang's mansion that we were pointing at."

"Later, less than a quarter of an hour after he went in, he ran out in a state of embarrassment, and the servants behind him were chasing and beating him fiercely. Seeing that the situation was not good, I quickly pulled him away. Afterwards, the two went home separately. I didn't know that he was killed. People are so wronged, so blame me for discovering it late."

After his explanation, the process was so detailed that it didn't look like it was made up. It seemed that everything was reasonable, but it just seemed.

"Are you okay to bet with a boy?" The judge tried hard to control his iceberg face not to twitch. How could the famous cold-faced general in the capital make such a low-level joke with a boy?When he is stupid!

Unexpectedly, Zou Jinchu caressed his temples in embarrassment, "I was really rude about this matter. To be honest, I thought he was a good guy and wanted to see his real strength, but I didn't expect it to hurt him instead. Besides, he is old. How can you look like someone who did such a vicious thing when you are still young and pure in nature?"

No one can prove that he is pure in nature, and the fact that he is still young makes the judge think deeply.Miss Zhang's family is 17 years old, how can a woman of this age fall in love with a half-grown child like Mo Wanqing?Women in the Celestial Dynasty are influenced by traditional customs. It is normal for women to admire men who are 20 or more years older than themselves. Dudu rarely likes men who are younger than themselves.

Mo Wanqing is not the kind of young and mature child, he is still a half-grown child at first glance, the possibility of a woman falling in love with him is even smaller, and in addition, General Zou even gave up his face to save him, so now At that time, he already had the feeling that the boy was innocent.

It's a pity that the criminal officer always needs "evidence" to do things, and any ambiguous words like feelings can't convince him, so he won't let him go if he is shaken.

"The words are somewhat reasonable, but it can only prove that he has no affair with Miss Zhang."

The implication is that he still can't completely get rid of the suspicion of Miss Zhang's death.He went to the scene of the crime to see it. The autopsy result of the girl also said that there were two fatal injuries, one was a nail on the head, and the other was a strangle mark on the neck. As for which one was the cause of the lady's death, it was difficult for them to determine. .

So since Mo Wanqing has been to the lady's yard, it is not impossible to plant a hidden weapon. Maybe the lady was accidentally nailed by a nail just as she was about to hang herself?

The ability to speculate is indispensable for a criminal judge. The judge believes that all kinds of situations are possible, and it is too early to draw conclusions.

"In this case, this matter should be put on hold for the time being, and we will make a judgment after the official finds out the cause of Miss Zhang's death. Come and take the suspect away for now."

Zou Jinchu was stunned, and smiled wryly, unexpectedly, he still failed to rescue the boy even though he went out.He said guiltily to Mo Wanqing: "Don't worry, I will definitely find a way to rescue you."

Mo Wanqing was still taken away by the jailer in heavy shackles, but she didn't look back.He was a little confused. It turned out that even if he proved that he and the young lady had no affair, he would not be able to get rid of the crime of murder. This seemed to be deliberately teasing him.

He is very grateful for the help of his friends, but he doesn't want to involve others, and he is a little disheartened for a while.

Back in the cell, Mo Wanqing huddled in the corner depressedly, ignoring the scrutinizing eyes of the prisoners.

The prisoners in this area are all serious criminals, many of whom have already been sentenced and will carry out various death sentences in the near future.These mortals are more interested in seeing fresh blood, silently paying attention to and watching him struggle until he is unable to compromise is one of their pleasures.

"Hey, boy, what's the result of going to court?" The bearded man asked curiously, of course what he said was nonsense, would he go back to the cell if he got a good result?

Mo Wanqing still ignored him, he kept his original posture and waited there quietly.The bearded man didn't feel annoyed if he was bored, he turned his head and returned to his position to continue squatting.

The life in the prison is so boring. If you want to have fun, you can go around the big iron fence by yourself, exercise your muscles and bones, anyway, the really big circle is yours.

Naturally, this requires an extremely optimistic person to do it. Most of the prisoners would rather lay their dead bodies in the hay than wander around like monkeys, which is very funny.

The boring time passed very slowly, and when it was time to distribute food at noon, the same scene as last night reappeared.The difference is that Mo Wanqing received two extra momos.The golden buns immediately attracted everyone's attention.Even though the food delivery person tried his best to keep it to him in a low-key manner, with so many eyes watching him, it was really impossible to hide this little secret.

"Eat quickly." The old woman hurriedly put these three words into his ears and went to deliver the next one.

Mo Wanqing was stunned for a while holding the rare bun, and soon realized that it was Zou Jinchu who ordered it.The speed is fast enough, even with such an obvious differential treatment, he is not afraid of others' jealousy.

Fortunately, the cage in this area is separate, as long as Mo Wanqing stands in the center, no one can catch a corner of his clothes.

"Little kid, give me what's in your hand!"

How wonderful fresh food is, Mo Wanqing has only been here for a day and can feel it. Those who have been in the dark prison all year round are eating leftovers like dogs. Of course, these two momos will make them salivate.

But Mo Wanqing was not frightened. He calmly walked to the center of the cell and deliberately slowed down. After eating two steamed buns leisurely, he yelled angrily at the prisoners on both sides.

Mo Wanqing stayed in the corner in the middle of the wall afterward, and now he has a grudge against others, so don't be plotted against in his sleep...

After everything was taken care of in the prison, Zou Jinchu went back to the General's Mansion full of thoughts. At this time, the General's wife, Mrs. Song, who was in the deep courtyard, also got the whereabouts of her husband today.

"Went to the county government and released a strange boy on bail?"

The husband's behavior was too unbelievable, if she hadn't heard what the inquiring person said, she would have thought it was someone else.

Her husband has always been calm and self-possessed, and he is very calm when things happen. She has never even seen him in a situation where his mood swings are particularly huge, but today she heard about a completely different husband!

"Who is that boy!"

Soon she got all the information about Mo Wanqing, from how he came to the capital to how he met the general and became friends...

It can be said that Zou Jinchu treated him like old friends at first sight. In just a few days, he became a confidant, and because he did not hesitate to use his power to suppress Song Qian's injury, he even testified for him today!

Hehe, how could she not know that her husband is still such an enthusiastic person?Why in her eyes, Zou Jinchu was unapproachable, but in front of that young man, he could play and bet?

And the boy's face in the portrait...is so beautiful, even if he is a girl, no one will doubt him.Reminiscent of the general's abnormal behavior recently, she had to admit that she was jealous, scared, and more hated.

Women's complaints are short-lived, especially women like the Song family who seem gentle but are ruthless. Thinking that this young man is already in deep prison at this time, she doesn't need to work hard at all, as long as she adds fuel to the flames, everything will follow its own course to end.

Let this "murderer" boy be punished with the cruelest punishment, and her husband will see his face clearly because of this...

Two flowers bloom, one branch each.

But Zou Jinchu on the other end was having a headache because of this matter, and for a while he couldn't figure out how to save talents.Feeling sorry for Mo Wanqing being wronged and resenting his helplessness, in desperation he thought of two people, one was his former classmate friend Yuan Yuxuan, and the other was old man Li.

Yuan Yuxuan is very good at drilling, his ranking back then was not very high, but now he is the highest in the battle. Without him, he is really good at messing around in officialdom. In 3 years, he has been on the rise as the prime minister's son-in-law.If you look for him, you may be able to rescue Mo Wanqing easily, but you will have to pay a corresponding price for his help.

As for old man Li, Zou Jinchu felt that he was not an ordinary person, at least the scene planned today could tell that he was different, but he had no way of knowing the depth of old man Li, and he had to have enough courage to use him.

Both options have their advantages and disadvantages, but neither is relatively better, which makes him even more troublesome.

"Hey, it's rare to come to see my brother and see such a scene, so why don't my sister-in-law die anxiously?"

The familiar gentle male voice made him completely defenseless, and of course this person was not the one he would guard against.Zou Jinchu turned around and saw his younger brother Zou Jinyuan who was dressed in white.

"It's so late and you still don't go to bed, so what's the point of visiting me? Why don't you tell me why you came?"

He knew his younger brother, he would go to the Three Treasures Palace for everything, and he often either liked something good and asked him to help him get it, or he wanted to share something new with him.
