In the 23rd year of Yongxi, the second day of February is a good day for couples.

Xiong Hu got married, and married Chen Shi, the youngest daughter of Taishi Ling's family.

Chen Shi is exactly nine years younger than Xiong Hu.The day the two met each other, before Xiong Hu could speak, the little girl nodded her head delicately.When he said yes, he fell in love with Xionghu Kongwu's powerful and majestic appearance, which directly surprised the matchmaker and Gaotang above.

Now that the little girl nodded, she was the great matchmaker personally protected by Princess Ning.The two parties didn't talk any more, and directly made a deal and agreed to get married after a year.

The process was so fast that everyone didn't expect it, and it was a pity that Xiong Hubai memorized those courteous official words.

When Gu Xiu heard the news, he always felt guilty for the little girl who didn't know the truth, so he went to the Ministry of Officials to give Xiong Hu a vacant position as a military officer in the Prince's Mansion, and he will be paid directly from his salary from now on.

He also told Han Mochu to organize the wedding himself, and he must make the wedding a lively one.

On the day of their marriage, the old parents of the Xiong family were in tears. The two of them, this stupid and rough son, would one day be able to get into the official ranks and marry a decent official lady.

If Gu Xiu and Han Mochu were not still alive, the two old people even thought about setting up a tablet for him and burning incense every day.

After Xiong Hu's wedding was over, it was past the curfew time.Having had a few more drinks, Han Mochu politely declined his colleague's request to see him off, and rode alone on a horse, carrying a lantern, and walked on the empty streets in Bianjing City.

Walking to a quiet street, Han Mochu suddenly reined in his horse and stood there, raised his lips and said with a smile: "I've been following you for so long, so come out."

As soon as Han Mochu finished speaking, four or five unarmed men dressed as ordinary people appeared in front of him and behind him.Although those few people were unarmed, but looking at their generous shoulders, one could tell that the group of people were all martial arts practitioners.

"Come out as soon as I tell you to come out? Sure enough, they are all idiots who want to die."

"Stop talking nonsense, today is your death day."

The big man in the lead loosened his wrists, grabbed Han Mochu's rein with one hand, took out a long needle with the other, and stabbed it directly into the horse's neck.The horse was startled in pain, raised its front hooves and neighed wildly.

Han Mo turned over and jumped off his horse. Before his feet could stand still, the remaining big men behind him all attacked him.Han Mochu stretched out his hand to hold the wrists of the two of them, and pressed the two wrists inward with force, as if erecting a wall of flesh in front of him.Immediately, his upper body bent down, dodging the heavy punch from behind.Sweeping back with his left leg, he kicked the man behind him in the jawbone.At the same time, when they loosened their hands, the two struggling men fell backward due to inertia, knocking over the other two besieging companions.

In the blink of an eye, Han Mochu knocked down five people.

Taking advantage of the five people's breathing space, Han Mochu got on his horse, whipped the horse, and shouted for help.

When Han Mochu yelled loudly, the five people panicked and hurried to catch up.Before chasing a few steps, he bumped into the imperial guards who were patrolling the city guards.

I could only watch helplessly as Han Mochu charged up to Cao Mingshu who was leading the troops to search for the city, turned over and fell off the horse, and said, "Deputy Commander Cao, help me. I just came out after eating my subordinate's wedding wine and met bandits. I don't know if they are going to rob you Money or something? When I came up, I stabbed the official's horse."

While talking, Han Mochu touched the blood on the horse's neck and showed Cao Mingshu, the shock on his face was still undecided.

"Han Canjun? Are you alright? Can you see the direction in which the murderer is escaping?" Cao Mingshu quickly helped him up and looked in the direction of his finger.Sure enough, I saw a few suspicious figures: "What are you still doing in a daze? Why don't you catch up and have a look!"

The war king Gu Xiu is in charge of the military talisman, and the Forbidden Army is under the tent of Wang Shiying.Han Mochu's current official rank is one level higher than that of the commander of the imperial army, Zhong Peiyi, and he is Cao Mingshu's serious immediate boss.Last time, because of the assassination of the imperial family, all the imprisoned soldiers were punished.In the end, the case was solved, and he and Zhong Peiyi each received [-] army sticks, and spent almost years lying on their stomachs.Now that this incident happened when he was on duty, thinking of the pain in his buttocks, Cao Mingshu felt very angry.

The imperial army behind Cao Mingshu got the order, and there were more than 100 people chasing him immediately.

After a while, all five people were arrested and brought before Cao Mingshu and Han Mochu.

"Master Joining the Army, how many people do you think are these?"

"It's them." Han Mochu stroked his chest and his face returned to normal: "Deputy Commander Cao, please ask me for me, what exactly do these heroes want to do?"

"Yes, I'll take them back to the barracks of the imperial army for questioning." Cao Mingshu readily agreed.

"Forbidden army barracks? Is Deputy Commander Cao in a hurry? The gangsters caught in the street are not sent to Jingzhao Yin's mansion but brought back to the forbidden army barracks? This is how Commander Zhong taught you to do things on weekdays?" Han Mochu His eyes were raised, it was obviously a smiling face, but Cao Mingshu's heart went cold in fright.

"Forgive me for joining the army, it's a humble job and muddleheaded."

"Forget it, it doesn't matter if you don't do the door-slamming thing in the middle of the night, I should ask myself." Han Mochu walked up to the big man in the lead, stroked his chin and said, "You don't need to talk, and you don't have to show anything to me. The attitude of seeing death as home. I know what you want to do. You are dressed as a commoner, don’t you just want to provoke this official to kill one or two of you, so as to throw some bullying on the official’s head and kill people in the street? The dirty water? It’s a good idea, but unfortunately the master behind you is too poor to spend a lot of money on the job. I only found a few pieces of materials from you.”

The big man in the lead was named Zhang Nineteen, and he was dumbfounded immediately, his lips parted slightly, but he couldn't say a word.

It took less than a quarter of an hour for them to meet this person, so how could it be obvious to others?

"Looking at the way you don't hide your face or cover up, you must be some common people with clean background and wealth. Even if you search the corpse, you can't find your master. But since you are all innocent people, why? Are you willing to sacrifice your life for someone just like that?" Han Mochu touched his chin and pondered for a moment: "Is it for money, righteousness, or coercion? I will give you a stick of incense time to say it. If you say it, I can tell you." Forgive the past, seeing that you have good skills, I can approve a letter of recommendation for you to serve in the army. If no one speaks after a stick of incense, then I can only do business."

The leader of the big man listened, and before he could speak, the brothers behind him made a fuss.

The five confessed in a hurry.

Just like what Han Mochu said, they were originally tenants on a farm named Ping'anzhuang in the suburbs of Beijing, and there were old and young in the family.Because he really couldn't pay the rent and donations of the year, he had no choice but to come out to do this for Li Si, the steward of Ping'an Village.

As for who is behind Li Si, the steward of Ping'an Village, they don't know.

After everyone confessed, Han Mochu straightened his body and straightened his clothes: "Okay, I've finished my questioning. Deputy Commander Cao, please settle these brothers down so that I don't lose face. "

"Ah? Oh... yes yes... Han Canjun don't worry, Han Canjun don't worry."

Cao Ming was called twice before he came back to his senses, and Shu was completely overwhelmed by Han Mochu's way of questioning the case just now.Although he is an imperial guard, there are a few friends who are good friends among the king's teachers.Those people usually talked to him about the resourcefulness of Han Canjun, and they were all amazing.Today he realized that there really is such a smart person in the world who can solve things so beautifully in just a few words.

Waking up the next morning, Jiang Li, Yin of Jingzhao Mansion, was beaten alive by the sound of drumming for grievances.

As soon as the yamen servants opened the door, five rough-clothed men knelt in front of the door.

The yamen servants asked the reason, and the five people all said that they had surrendered themselves.

Hearing the word "surrender", Jiang Li was startled. Last year at this time, there were twelve failed candidates who surrendered.After half a year of tossing around, the life lawsuits involved are enough to lay the coffin for a year.

These few surrendered came again today, and I don't know what else will be involved.

Sure enough, Jiang Li, the governor of Jingzhao Mansion, just asked a few words, and a major event was involved.

Zhang Shijiu, the leader of the five, wept to Jingzhao Mansion Yin Jiangli, how they were forced by the manager of the farm to assassinate Han Mochu.How tolerant Han Mochu was, the adults ignored the faults of the villains, not only did not pursue their crimes, but even took money to pay them rent.How ashamed they are, they only want to confess the mastermind and give justice to that Han Dashan.

It was about Han Mochu, and Jiang Li immediately paid attention to it.Regardless of Han Mochu's current status as an imperial official, since Han Mochu entered Beijing, he has always regarded Han Mochu as a close friend.Especially after Mr. Yi Ji came to the door that year, he regarded Han Mochu as his lifelong confidant.

Someone is plotting to assassinate him right now?This really hit him on the muzzle.

Immediately ordered that people go to Ping'an Village to arrest Li Si, and sit in court for interrogation in person.

Under severe interrogation, the hob-like Li Si finally vomited.

This Li Si is a well-known gambler, and he owes twenty or thirty gambling debts outside.

A few days ago, a creditor knocked on the door and almost strangled him to death with a hemp rope.He was frightened and begged for mercy repeatedly.The creditor ordered him to find some innocent people who could not afford to live, and to do a great thing for him.

After the event is completed, all debts are written off.

Li Si was afraid of death, so he could only agree.So he instigated several tenants in Ping'an Village who couldn't pay the rent and tax to rob Han Mochu at night.

As for who the creditor who came to press for the debt was, Li Si really couldn't remember which one it was.

When the matter was traced to this point, the clues were basically broken.Changing other people's business, Jiang Li took Li Si's knife as a favor early in the morning.

But this matter was related to Han Mochu, and Jiang Li also thought about how to be tough, and he couldn't just close the case hastily.

He simply beat Li Si again and asked him to write down all the creditors he remembered in his mind.Let the Yamen check one by one.

After checking and checking, I found that the scope of involvement between these creditors is too large. There are six or seven family members and slaves of the courtiers, clansmen and slaves alone.

Li Si couldn't fight anymore, and if he fought again, he would die.

The case had been pending for more than ten days, Jiang Li finally couldn't sit still, and invited Han Mochu to the house for a drink.

"Brother, I'm sorry for you. I'm not capable enough, I can't even do this thing properly." Jiang Li patted his thigh, his face full of frustration.

"Brother Jiang, what are you talking about? It's just a few thieves, and it's not a big deal. Besides, I'm pretty good too?" Han Mochu smiled and filled his glass with others: "If you really can't find out, Brother Jiang will just sign the case and that’s it.”

"That won't work. When Mr. Yi Ji came last time, he delayed me to take care of you. I promised him that the old man promised to be good. How can you just forget about this kind of knife on your neck ? I must be sure to figure out all these dozens of people, and I will give you an explanation."

"Actually, Jiang Shixiong doesn't need to be so troublesome. Just ask Li Si, whoever signed the certificate that the person who came to press the debt that day brought it? It's better to have a shadow to check than to check. Such a shadowless thing."

What Han Mochu said made Jiang Li slap his forehead suddenly: "Oh, I'm such an idiot. During the first trial, that poppy said that he forgot who the debt collector was, so I forgot to ask about the loan Yes. Thanks to you for reminding me, Brother Xian, otherwise hundreds of people will be involved in this circle, and the investigation will have to be carried out next year."

The next day, Li Si, who had been in prison for a few days, changed into a clean prison uniform and applied medicine to his wounds. He was in much better spirits than the previous days.

When Jiang Li asked him what he had borrowed, he was also stunned for a while.The few debt collectors who came that day were too frightening, and he was so scared that he completely forgot about the borrowing.He tried hard to think back for a while, and then he remembered that the group of debtors just waved the loan in front of his eyes for a while, and then punched and kicked him directly.He only remembered that there was a Song character vaguely pressed on the signature.

Mentioning this Song character, Li Si remembered it again.

He has only owed money to one person surnamed Song in his life, that is, a accountant Mr. Song Yu in Zhongshusheren's mansion.

In this way, Jiang Li touched Song Yu's head again, and Song Yu said that he had given the card to his cousin, Shen Da, the third-class comprador in Duan Wang Gushen's mansion.

Shen Da has a best brother named Guo Er, who is a servant of Prince Yu Cheng's house.That voucher was accidentally lost when I was drinking with Guo Er one day.

Guo Er had a younger brother named Guo San, who worked as a servant under Han Qi, the eldest son of Han Ming, who was then a court official.

This circle of nine twists and eighteen turns finally brought this matter to Han Ming, the court councilor.
