Chapter 10 Peach Blossom Embankment 1 Wandong sees the ink carp on a fast horse, and finds the truth

On this day, on the night of July 28, Moli hadn't come back yet, Wandong couldn't stay still anymore, he changed into black clothes, and went to Dubu Building on Chungui Road.

He wanted to see Zou Wu'an, and asked Zou Wu'an to borrow a horse.

Zou Wu'an was not there, but the people in the building seemed to have been ordered, what Wandong wanted, they would give.

Wandong rode out of the city and headed for the lower reaches of the river.

After traveling for about twenty miles, he saw a lighted post station in the distance.

The guard in the post station came out when he heard the sound of horseshoes, and shouted, "Where did you go?"

Wandong stopped, took a long breath, looked at the man and replied, "Do you know where Lord Mo is now?"

"Master Mo...?"

Seeing his confusion, Wandong explained: "Master Mo, who is investigating the case, is looking for someone who was washed away by the river recently."

The guard thought about it carefully, and said: "Oh! During the day, a policeman came and said that he was going to Taohuadi to meet an adult. I don't know if it is!"

"How to get to Peach Blossom Embankment?"

"Go east for another seven or eight miles."

"Thank you."

After Wandong rushed to Peach Blossom Embankment, he searched for a long time and finally saw a catcher.

Wandong asked him: "This brother, where is Master Mo?"

"In front, I'll take you there." The policeman recognized him and knew that he was a doctor from the Dongcheng Market, so he thought Master Mo had invited him.

"Brother, how did you find it?"

The policeman replied: "Last night, we caught a boot at the entrance of the Taohua River, a tributary of the big river, but we didn't look for it on both sides of the river. Lord Mo brought us to the Taohua River. We searched for a day, but still couldn't find it."

"So there's news." Wandong smiled, "It's better than no news."

The policeman: "That's the only way I can think of it."

Soon, Wandong saw Mo Li.He was leading people to row a boat to fish for things in the river, and several catchers were also in a boat in twos and threes.

When Mo Li saw someone riding a horse approaching on the dike, he frowned and looked over, because of his good eyesight, he recognized Wandong.

He never expected that Wandong would come to him at this time, probably because he had some important clues, thinking of this, Mo Li asked the fishermen to go to the shore.

When Wandong saw him coming, he dismounted.

Mo Li also recognized that the horse Wandong was riding was his boss's boss's favorite... Qingyun Treading Snow.

Mo Li was almost stunned for a moment, and looked at Wandong with a little more surprise. He originally thought that Zou Wu'an went to Wandong because of Wandong's medical skills, or because of Wandong's familiarity with the world in the market .

Now it seems that Zou Wu'an's treatment of Wandong is more like because of some kind of friendship, or fulfilling someone's entrustment?

Zou Wu'an, he is a well-known cold and romantic man in Yingbei, a heartless smiling tiger.

"Lord Mo..." Seeing him distracted, Wandong called out again.

"..." Mo Li came back to his senses and looked at Wandong with a little embarrassment, "Doctor Mei, let's talk over there."

"Ok."

A policeman came quickly to take the reins from Wan Dong's hand.

The two walked to the distant forest.

Wandong told Mo Li what he saw when he went to Yaojia Village yesterday, and what Yumu arrested the steward and his group to meet the officials early this morning.

Mo Li's eyebrows were deep, and he said repeatedly: "Wrapping jade with iron is really eating the heart of a bear and the guts of a leopard."

"In this way, it was Kang Boning who first discovered the high-quality jade from the mountain behind Yaojia Village, and then informed the steward Ren, encouraged him to join the group, and opened the mountain to build a factory in the name of the Pearl? The five of them conspired to wrap the jade with iron, and planned to send the jade to I went to sell it in the south, but something happened to Kang Boning just after I got the sample, is that right?"

Wandong nodded.

Mo Li looked at him again, his gaze was more complicated than before: "Young Master Yulou really doesn't know about this?"

Wandong didn't know how much Yu Mu knew, but he was sure that Yu Mu knew, but he chose not to act, and Wan Dong pursed his lips and did not answer Mo Li.

It's impossible not to see a character like Mo Li.Yumu is Baoyulou, so it is impossible to admit that he knew about this matter, and Wandong probably did not answer because he was not sure.

"It seems that Dr. Mei already knows the murderer of Kang Boning." Mo Li naturally brought the topic to Kang Boning's death.

Wandong paused for a while, then said calmly: "The evidence will have to wait for Detective Ye to come back soon, but the perpetrator in Santaoyuan should be Hu Lai."

Mo Li was slightly startled, and asked in a horrified voice, "Did Hu Lai kill Kang Boning?"

"He practices martial arts, and his internal strength should be at the third-rate level. He raised horses since he was a child. If the horse hadn't died of illness one year, he wouldn't have joined Kang's family as a groom. I inquired about it in the horse market, and a person who knew Hu Lai very well told him. I said that he is very good at harnessing the horse. I think he put the rein around Kang Boning's neck at a relatively long distance, so that Kang Boning was pulled by him before he could react. At this time, Kang Boning just He can struggle by instinct... Hu Lai will not give him a chance and strangle him to death."

The ink carp suddenly realized.

"But one thing is very strange." Wandong continued, "After Hu Lai killed Kang Boning, he beat Kang Boning with an iron pestle beyond recognition..."

Mo Li: "Is it because I hate Kang Boning forcibly occupying the mountains and forests and occupying his horse farm, so I killed him? Venting anger generally destroys his face?"

Although this makes sense, Wandong has doubts in his heart and doesn't think so. It's just that he has to wait for other evidence to confirm his guess.

"That's it, Detective Ye is going to lose money on this trip to Luokou County." Mo Li looked towards Ye Dao and sighed.

Wandong thought the same way. Although Detective Ye might not be able to catch Hu Lai, the murderer who committed the crime in Santaoyuan has now locked up Hu Lai.

Wandong looked at the Peach Blossom River again, and suddenly said, "Master Mo, I will accompany you to find it."

Mo Li didn't refuse, and looked at Wandong with more serious eyes. When he first saw Wandong, he felt that Wandong's aura was a little weird, like someone who had practiced martial arts, but he didn't look like it. There is no internal force, but there is a strange force that seems to be absent.

To put it bluntly, he seems to want to know more about Wandong's weirdness than that...

**

Wandong followed the ink carp into the boat, and the fishermen were still fishing in the river. This has been repeated countless times.

It was not easy for them to find even a single boot, which also meant that they could find Shi Lei's body.

"My lord, we can also pay attention to some shoals with small waterways, where reeds will grow. If the reeds cover the bones, it is also possible."

After being told by Wandong, the fisherman on the boat turned his head to look at Mo Li: "My lord, there are people digging loaches and picking crabs in the shallows this season. Will someone nearby find the person you are looking for?"

Mo Li's eyes flickered slightly, and he suddenly said: "Shi Lei was wearing brocade clothes when he fell into the river, and his clothes might be worth ten taels of silver. There is also a possibility in the area around the shallows and depressions."

The shoal is no better than the road or the river. You can row a boat to salvage in the river, and you can ride a horse to find it on the road. However, the shoal is covered by aquatic plants and silt, so it is not easy to find.

Wandong: "Why don't we let the nearby loach catchers come and look for them in the shallows, and then let them ask the market in the nearby town if there is anyone pawning clothes."

"I'll send someone to investigate immediately." Mo Li said and called the catcher on the black-covered boat at hand.

After listening to the order, the arrester quickly docked.

When it was just dawn in the early morning, many nearby farmers came to help the government find the dead bodies in the shallows.

Mr. Mo is really stingy, no, he is in short supply...Each farmer only gives fifteen cents...

Wandong followed those fishermen to the shallows, stayed there for half a day and got acquainted.

"Doctor, there is too much mud and dirt here, you'd better go ashore." The fisherman said to him.

Wandong smiled lightly: "It's okay, anyway, the clothes are already dirty, and I will wear dirty clothes when I go ashore."

At first glance, the fisherman seems to make such a rationale.

"Doctor, go to our Peach Blossom Village at noon and sit down, I'll entertain you."

Wandong originally wanted to say that he didn't want to be troublesome, but suddenly thought of something and agreed.

The fish farmer was very happy to see that he had agreed, and he couldn't hide the smile on his face. If adults from the city went to his house for dinner, he would be able to brag about it in the village for a long time in the future.

Mo Li was dragged to go together by Wan Dong, the two of them seemed refreshed after not sleeping all night, at this moment Mo Li froze and said to him, "I'm not in the mood to eat."

The corners of Wandong's lips raised slightly: "I know, but now I don't have a clue and no direction, why don't I think about other ways out, maybe there are still fishermen in their village who haven't left their homes today, or maybe I can find something else when I go there."

"It's just luck." Mo Li's tone seemed a little stiff.

Wan Dong nodded slightly and smiled lightly: "Master Mo was lucky to find Taohuahe."

Mo Li's fixed long eyebrows suddenly loosened: "Then go."
