Chongzhou's words made Mo Jiecheng, whose face was originally dark, now look as dark as water.
He gritted his teeth and sneered at Chongzhou, then stared at him and said word by word: "No, he didn't crawl out of the cesspool. He crawled out of the pit of the dead."
"I was still dripping, crawling, swimming, rolling and soaking in the dead pit full of corpses and maggots."
Every word Mo Jiecheng said made Chongzhou even more frightened. He trembled all over and wanted to retreat and distance himself from Mo Jiecheng.
But he didn't expect that Mo Jiecheng suddenly took a step forward, stretched out his long arms, and suddenly hugged Chongzhou into his arms.
Chongzhou tried to run away with a hoarse voice, but Mo Jiecheng suddenly pushed him back to his chest. He very insidiously touched Chongzhou's dirty clothes from all directions and no blind spots.
Then he patted Chongzhou on the back with relief and sighed: "Good Chongzhou, I've finally waited for you. How did you do with the task I gave you?"
"Master, if you knew how wronged my subordinates were during this trip and how wisely they obtained the clues, you would definitely praise me!"
Mo Jiecheng listened, slowly lowered his head, stared deeply at Chongzhou in his arms, and then nodded again.
"I admire you very much, you are such a heavy boat. I grant you permission to inherit my mantle and dig up corpses in the river."
Chongzhou was held in Mo Jiecheng's arms, and the rotten smell of Mo Jiecheng's body rushed towards Chongzhou's nose and flew towards Chongzhou's Tianling Cap.
And Mo Jiecheng's words made Chongzhou almost vomit.
Seeing that Zhongzhou was about to vomit on him, Mo Jiecheng pushed him away.
Ji Wanrong looked at the two of them acting like they were singing, and the corner of his mouth twitched, but he also knew that he smelled too bad.
So I borrowed Xiaoqing's house, boiled hot water, and took a shower first.
After Mo Jiecheng and Chongzhou also finished bathing, everyone looked serious, entered an empty room, and started talking about business.
Only then did Ji Wanrong learn from Chongzhou's words his purpose of coming here.
It turned out that when Mojie City went up the mountain, they ordered heavy boats to come from the capital to closely monitor the county magistrate's office in Xun County and Mrs. Qian who had not been arrested in the county magistrate's office.
In order to avoid alerting the enemy, Chongzhou used many methods to contact Mrs. Qian, and even used seduction methods.
But Mrs. Qian was still very vigilant and did not relax her guard at all.
So Chongzhou came up with a plan and set a fire in the county magistrate's house, and calculated the time so that Mrs. Qian could escape safely.
It is precisely because of this that when Mrs. Qian escaped from the fire, she took her most precious things with her.
When Chongzhou and others were waiting at the only safe exit, what they saw was Mrs. Qian running out of the county magistrate's house in a state of embarrassment, with her hands still holding a notebook tightly.
It seems that this is Mrs. Qian's most precious thing.
So Chongzhou made a prompt decision and directly seized Mrs. Qian's stolen goods. He not only informed her of the death of her biological brother and the truth about Magistrate Li's child, he even informed her that Magistrate Li would be escorted to trial with her.
I believe that after learning this series of truths, even a scheming woman like Mrs. Qian will probably calm down a little these days.
When Chongzhou went up the mountain this time, he brought the booklet he found from Mrs. Qian. Not only the booklet, he also brought a large number of hidden guards.
Although Chongzhou didn't say why he suddenly had to bring so many people, when Mo Jiecheng took the booklet handed from Chongzhou, he understood everything.
Mo Jiecheng frowned and looked at the things recorded in the booklet.
That dignified look made Ji Wanrong and Shi Heng stand up from their chairs impatiently, and then stood behind Mo Jiecheng, looking at the contents of the booklet.
This booklet, to say it is a booklet, is perhaps more similar to a kind of account book.
Each page above has a detailed record of the date, and below the date, there are rows of small characters.
Ji Wanrong squinted his eyes and scanned the lines of small characters carefully, only to realize that each line of small characters represented the record of a person.
It contains clear regulations on gender, height, body shape, and even age.
However, Ji Wanrong looked at it again and again, and found that the record above did not seem to be an exact person, because except for the gender, which was certain, the other values were very vague, that is, there was a rough range.
What kind of person is someone whose face, height, and age are all vague?
Ji Wanrong could not think of it for a moment.
Mo Jiecheng slowly turned over page after page, which were densely packed with all kinds of information. When he turned to the last page, Ji Wanrong estimated with a rough step that there were more than twenty people. Personal.
"The information on this looks like it's looking for someone." Mo Jiecheng thought for a moment and finally came to this conclusion.
"Looking for someone? Didn't Magistrate Li say that he would take people to the mountain and hand them over to the people above?"
"Are the things recorded in this book the same people County Magistrate Li wants to take to the mountain?" Chongzhou asked.
In fact, he had also thought about this, but no matter how he thought about it, he felt a little weird, so he went directly to Mo Jie City.
Shi Heng listened and pointed to the date on it again: "The dates don't match up. The times County Magistrate Li went to the mountain twice, one was when we first arrived in Xun County, which is not available here."
"These dates were all written after County Magistrate Li was arrested, and the handwriting of the person who wrote the ink is the same. This means that this account book does not belong to County Magistrate Li, but probably to Mrs. Qian."
"Perhaps Mrs. Qian is also looking for someone, but the person she is looking for is different from Magistrate Li. Magistrate Li may be responsible for transporting Xun County's labor force, but she can have access to the deeper mysteries inside and can send some people in special need. Go up, you see, the person she is looking for is very precise, it looks like she can't find many people at once and take them up the mountain."
When Shi Heng said this, Mo Jiecheng thought of the corpse they had just found. He suddenly raised his head and saw Ji Wanrong looking at her too.
"Yes, Shi Heng, your guess is correct. We just went to the river and found two different types of corpses. One type was the labor force that County Magistrate Li was responsible for transporting, and the other type was very strange. Look, Those who go up to be pampered are like managers or those in higher positions."
"But there are a huge number of them, there is something fishy about their bodies, and there are doubts everywhere."
It turns out that those people were all forcibly sent to their secret base after being found.
The people sent to the secret base are not just doing hard work, but more like meeting certain special standards to accomplish some kind of ulterior purpose.
