Daily Life In Qin Dynasty

The fact that Mr. Mo was suspected of murder and extermination of his family, and was ordered by the King of Qin to assist in the investigation, soon spread to the ears of the entire Xianyang's high-ranking nobles.

Although there are many high-ranking officials and nobles in Qin State who have enmity with Lord Mo, after hearing the news, the first reaction of most people was not happiness, but suspicion.

Murder and extermination?

Is this a matter worthy enough for Mr. Mo to assist in the investigation?

For that guy, isn't this kind of thing already a commonplace and routine operation?

What?

Tingwei Jin Youjun took his fate as a sign and died in front of Lord Mo.

oh!

Having said that, we understand it!

above.

This is probably the true reaction shown by the vast majority of high-ranking officials and nobles after hearing the news for the first time.

······

And on the other side.

Having just learned that Mr. Mo would be banned, Heiyu conveyed the news back to Hanzhong through flying birds.

"Shengping-kun is suspected of murder and is now grounded?"

When Six Finger Black Man and Fu Nian heard the news, their increasingly rounded faces could not help but reveal a bit of astonishment.

The Mo family has always been responsible for helping the world and rescuing the people. During this period, because of worries about the snow disaster, the Six-fingered Black Man has been staying in Hanzhong [Mo Mansion]. The purpose is that if Mr. Mo encounters trouble in disaster relief, he can help in time.

The result was completely unexpected.

The victims were fine, but Mr. Mo was in trouble.

"how so?"

"Brother Mo Jun is okay! No, I have to go to Xianyang to find him."

"Ling'er, don't be impulsive. Your Excellency just needs to assist in the investigation now. Do you remember what I taught you? The more critical this moment is, the more we must stay calm."

Jian Jiuyuan said in a deep voice.

Since the news of Mr. Mo's suspension was spread back to Hanzhong, all the core members of Mr. Mo's command returned to Hanzhong [Mo Mansion] as soon as possible.

The three masters and disciples, Xiong Da, Xiong Da, Yao Gui, Jian Jiuyuan, Jian Ling'er, Yue Nu, Zhu Yeqing, Jiu Jianchi... more than a dozen people gathered together.

Although everyone was panicked for a while when they first received the news.

But many of the people under Mo Jun's command had seen the big world, so after only a brief panic, they quickly regained their composure and began to discuss countermeasures.

"Who did you kill this time? Your actions were a little too rough, and you actually left such a big flaw. By the way, who did you kill this time?"

Suddenly, Zhuye Qing asked something coldly.

After hearing this, the others looked at Xiong Da with some curiosity. Facing everyone's gaze, Xiong Da also had black lines on his forehead.

"Do you have any misunderstanding about my character? This incident was really not caused by my actions."

"What?"

As Xiong Da finished speaking, everyone present widened their eyes, looking even more surprised than others.

Even Fu Nian and Six-fingered Black Man had a look of disbelief in their eyes when they heard what Xiong Da said.

"So, has your Excellency been framed by someone this time?"

"According to the letter sent by Kuroyu, it should be the influence of Lord Changping this time."

"With Lord Shengping's current reputation, even if Lord Changping wants to frame him, it probably won't be an easy task!" Fu Nian frowned and thought for a moment, then raised his head and looked at Xiong Dadao.

Xiong Da glanced at Fu Nian, with a hint of surprise in his eyes. He nodded and said, "Mr. Fu Nian is right. Your Excellency is always cautious, and ordinary frame-ups are naturally useless."

"But this time it is different, because the deceased this time is none other than the important minister of the Qin State, Tingwei "Jin Youjun", who had a small conflict with the Lord before."

"And not only was the whole Jin family wiped out this time, but Jin Youjun himself was killed in the Zhangtai Palace in front of the King of Qin and all the civil and military officials. Moreover, before he died, what Jin Youjun shouted was the Lord's name."

"It is precisely because of Jin Youjun's testimony before his death that your Excellency became the biggest suspect in this case."

After listening to Xiong Da tell the whole process of this incident, the expressions of the others changed one after another, and then they realized the seriousness of the matter.

The identity of the deceased is important.

And before he died, he personally identified the "murderer".

Based on these two points alone, if it were a country with lax laws, or if the "murderer" this time was not Mr. Mo, the case might have been closed by now.

"In this case, the case now has all the witnesses, and only the physical evidence is needed to conclude the case." The six-fingered black man looked solemnly and thought slowly.

Xiong Da nodded and said: "Yes, and this is what we are worried about. Now that you are confined in Xianyang [Mo Mansion], if someone takes advantage of this period to tamper with the physical evidence, you will not be able to do it in the court." I’m afraid it will be completely passive.”

"So we have to do two things first: first, find out the truth of the case, and second, prevent people from Chang Pingjun's lineage from doing things secretly."

“And both of those things require someone to travel to Hadong County.”

"In the Mo Mansion, we need senior Jian Jiuyuan and senior Yao Gui to be in charge. Now that the master is not here, we must leave someone to sit in the rear to prevent the young people from taking advantage of the chaos."

"And Xiong Er and I can't leave during this period, because the 'free trading market' established by your Excellency is not yet stable, especially now that the news of your suspension has spread. In recent days, many people have come to Hanzhong. The merchants have started to make some small moves, so Xiong Er and I need to take charge here."

"Therefore, I can only leave it to you three to investigate the matter in Hedong."

At the end of the sentence, General Xiong looked at Zhuyeqing, Jiujianchi, and Yuenv.

Zhuyeqing, Jiujianchi, and Yuenv nodded and said, "We understand."

Xiong Da threw a token to the three of them and said: "After going to Hedong, if you encounter trouble, you can go to the [Xiong Chumo Chamber of Commerce] branch over there to take action."

After Xiong Da slowly arranged things in an orderly manner, the Six-fingered Black Man continued: "In this case, I will also help you. I will inform the Mohist disciples in Hedong County to help you find out the truth about this case as soon as possible. ."

As soon as the Six-fingered Black Man finished speaking, Fu Nian continued: "I am somewhat of a humble Confucian. Later, Fu Nian wrote a letter asking the Confucian disciples in Hedong to come and help Lord Sheng Ping."

Xiong Da was stunned, as if he didn't expect that the two people in front of him were actually willing to take the initiative to help.

"Thank you both for your help."

"It doesn't matter. Lord Shengping's merits are immeasurable. Now that he has been framed and framed by a villain, even though we are people in the world, we should help him. Besides, if Lord Shengping is really killed because of this, it will be a loss for the entire world."

Xianyang.

【Mofu】.

Just when the outside world was in a turmoil and making a fuss over Mr. Mo's suspension and investigation.

At this moment, the interior of [Mo Mansion] is peaceful and peaceful.

Mr. Mo was sitting by the lotus pond in the back garden of Xianyang [Mo Mansion], holding a fishing rod in his hand. His face was calm, and there was no sign of the urgency of being in danger at all.

Maybe it was because he was in a good mood today that the fish bit the hook much more frequently. After only two hours of fishing today, there were already three small white stripes in the fish basket.

"Sir, there is news from Hanzhong."

A burst of black feathers fell, and Black Feather's figure suddenly appeared behind Mr. Mo.

Mr. Mo is now banned from the [Mo Mansion]. In principle, he cannot have contact with anyone. The main reason is to prevent the suspect from colluding with others before the case is heard.

But that's only in principle.

In fact, when Ying Zheng failed to imprison Mo Jun in accordance with the laws of the Qin Dynasty, he had already acquiesced in the fact that he could contact the outside world.

Mo Jun struggled to climb from a homeless man to such a high position. for what? Isn’t it just for the privilege?

"what news?"

"It came from Xiong Da, saying that during this period of time in the 'free trading market' in Hanzhong, many merchants began to trade secretly without registering it with the [Commercial Supervision Department]."

"Ha! Sure enough, a bunch of dogs can't change their habit of eating shit!"

Mo Jun chuckled and shook his head.

When merchants in Hanzhong's "Free Trading Market" conduct transactions, they need to take the initiative to register with the [Commercial Supervision Department] to facilitate the payment of commercial taxes.

When Mr. Mo was here before, this group of people were quite honest.

But now that Mr. Mo has just shown a hint of 'degeneration', this group of merchants started making small moves without hesitation.

"I asked Xiong Da to record all the names of these people first, and then I will deal with them all after I return."

"yes!"

Black Feather responded.

Then he continued: "In addition, Xiong Da has sent Zhu Yeqing, Jiu Jian Chi, and Yue Nu to Hedong to investigate the truth of the case of 'the Jin family's annihilation'. It is said that the Six-fingered Black Man and Mr. Fu Nian were also involved."

Mo Jun nodded and said, "Thank you Mr. Meng and Mr. Fu Nian for me."

Seeing that Mr. Mo didn't mention the case of 'The Jin family's extermination' at all in his words, and seemed to have no interest in the matter at all, Heiyu couldn't help but ask: "Sir, have you guessed something?"

"Guess what?"

"The truth of this case."

Mo Jun shook his head and said calmly: "No, on the contrary, this incident is the first time so far that I haven't caught the slightest clue."

Mr. Mo did not lie. This time, the annihilation of Jin Youjun and the Jin family was the first time that Mr. Mo could not see through the inside story at all.

Actually so far.

The biggest feeling that Jin Youjun's case brought to Mo Jun was not danger, but an indescribable 'awkward' and 'disgusting' feeling.

If I have to describe it.

What Mo Jun feels now is probably like walking on the road and suddenly stepping into a cesspit.

Although a manure pit more than one meter deep could not drown anyone, nor could it cause physical trauma, the slurry of feces all over Mo Jun's face was enough to make him feel so sick from a psychological level that he could not eat for several days.
