The Return of the General to the Field

Chapter 49 Interrogation

It was still dark, and the woodshed was pitch black, with only a few faint rays of light coming in through the cracks in the windows.

Mo Mei huddled in a corner, and there was nothing else in her mind except "It's over!"He has nowhere to go!

Mo Mei hugged her knees and huddled in the corner, listening to the noise of soldiers and horses in the front yard, he knew that he was forgotten, because everyone was worried about the lord, especially the master.As long as the lord is out of danger, it will be his own death.

Mo Mei knew that he had been sentenced to death, so when he was about to die, he simply gave up on himself and died as soon as he died!He even cursed viciously that his push would have killed two people!

"Crackling—" Someone is coming!Meng Wu held a candlestick and pushed open the door of the firewood room. Seeing the master's face half reflected in the candlelight and half hidden in the shadow, Mo Mei felt a chill in her heart, and shrank involuntarily to the corner.

Meng Wu put the candlestick on the pyre, and walked step by step towards Mo Mei, whose eyes were full of horror.

"Who gave you that medicine?" Meng Wu's cold words struck Mo Mei's heart.All of a sudden, the fear in his heart was aroused, and only then did he realize that he was still very afraid of death.

Mo Mei rushed towards Meng Wu, he subconsciously wanted to hug the master's leg and beg for forgiveness, maybe the master would spare his life because he saw that he was pitiful?

Meng Wu dodged sideways, letting Mo Mei fall on the rough and rough floor, and at the same time stepped on Mo Mei's back, and stomped Mo Mei who was about to get up to the ground.

"Say! Who gave you that bottle of medicine!"

"My lord, I'm obsessed with ghosts, I didn't do it on purpose! I have my own reasons..."

"Ah—" Before Mo Mei could finish her sentence, she was kicked aside by Meng Wu, hit the firewood pile, hit her head on the protruding sharp firewood, and blood flowed down!

"You don't want to say?" Meng Wu walked to Mo Mei and asked condescendingly.

Looking up from Mo Mei's angle, the master's face was blurry and his tone was filled with coldness. It's really over!

But what can he do?The matter of prescribing the lord's medicine was a certainty, and he couldn't get rid of it, so he could only plead for mercy heartbreakingly, trying to arouse the pity of the dark-faced man who was standing there.

"Master, please let me go, I really—"

Meng Wu was impatient to hear him waste his time talking, he just wanted to know where the bottle of medicine came from, and who wanted to murder his husband with evil intentions.So he crushed Mo Mei's hand on the ground with his foot.

"Crack——click—" that was the sound of broken finger bones.

"Ah!" Mo Mei's screams erupted as Meng Wu exerted more force, and the other hand kept digging the ground, and grains of sand got into his fingers. "Now can you tell me who gave you the medicine?"

Mo Mei broke out in a cold sweat from the pain and raised her neck. Meng Wu told him with actions that if he didn't say anything, he would experience extreme pain.

"Yes, yes, Meng, Yu'er—" Mo Mei gasped as she spoke, her voice full of despair.

After getting the answer, Meng Wu put his foot down from Mo Mei's hand, picked up the oil lamp on the firewood pile, and left the firewood room swiftly.

Apart from Mo Mei, Meng Wu never thought it would be Meng Yuer. It was difficult for him to understand the dark and tortuous thoughts of a brother who was troubled by love, but what did it matter?

Meng Wu is like a calm killing god now, although on the surface he still has a calm face as before, but it is a bit cold, but he knows that the fire in his heart is burning.He didn't want to know the thoughts of those who murdered Xia He. He didn't care whether they were active or forced. He didn't care if they had any so-called difficulties. Either Mei or Meng Yuer will have to pay the price!

And the reason why he didn't deal with Mo Mei right away and spare his life was because he still needed him as a witness.

The door was locked, and the firewood room returned to darkness, with the few gleams of light still present.Mo Mei lay on the ground, watching the few strands of light gradually turn into strands and beams, and finally devoured all the darkness.Tears fell slowly.

Illusion!It's all an illusion!He followed the lord, and was confused by the master's all-time, considerate tenderness to the lord, thinking that he was a kind person, but unexpectedly, what he saw was the tenderness that only appeared to the lord, so close that he I regard special as ordinary.

Mo Mei realized it, and her heart died!The pain in his head, hands, and back mocked his self-deception!

"Ah, when will Ah He sleep until he wakes up?" At noon the next day, Meng Wu came out of the house, worried about Xia He who was still sleeping?

"It's okay, Ah He was too tired yesterday, let him sleep, it's okay." Youngest Li was washing the baby's just-changed diaper.

"Go for whatever you want to do!"

"Okay, so take care of me, I'll go find Uncle Dequan."

Meng Yuer's murder of Xia He is very bad, and the ancestral hall must be opened, and all the elders of the clan should be invited together to solve it.Meng Wu didn't intend to tell the old village head first that Meng Yu'er was his grandson, and Meng Wu didn't want to argue with him, and he didn't intend to see anyone's favor. Anyway, the deputy village head also has the right to summon the clan elders.

The reason why Meng Wu did this at noon was because he went to find the hidden guards left by Huo Xiuwen again in the morning. Whether it was Xia He or the little baby, Dr. Ouyang needed another trip.

"Really!" Meng Dequan was so frightened that he stood up straight away, "How could Brother Yu do such stupid things?"

"I don't know, but the fact is that the witnesses are still locked in the firewood room." Meng Wu didn't hide anything, and told Meng Dequan all the ins and outs of the matter!

"This matter is very serious! It's too serious! Okay, I'll let Akui call the clan elders and we'll open the ancestral hall! Then we'll decide whether to deal with it within the clan or send it to officials." Meng Dequan paced with his hands behind his back.

"Yes, father."

"Hey, why do you think brother Yu would do such a thing?" Liu Fang asked with a sad face while rushing to the elder's house with the other elders.He watched Meng Yuer grow up, and he was very saddened to do such a thing.

"What's the matter with Brother Fang?" It was cold, and the old man was cooking and smoking in the house, completely out of condition, "Is Brother He from Ah Wu's family all right?"

"Li Chief, Dequan has already opened the ancestral hall, and Akui has also gone to invite the clan elders. I'll summon Brother Yu."

"Open the ancestral hall? What kind of ancestral hall to open? Who invited it? Why didn't you inform me? What does it have to do with my Yu'er?" To open the ancestral hall, you must first invite the head of the village, and then summon the parties and insiders. It is related to your good grandson. , and even surpassed himself, the old Lichang suddenly became restless!

"Minister, this matter will not be clarified in a short time. If you want to know, you can come and listen, but according to the rules, you cannot preside over the opening of the ancestral hall this time." If you commit a crime, the rules cannot be broken. The ancestral hall has already been opened, so we must give everyone an explanation.

"Yu'er is in his room. You can go and call him, I want to see what happened today!" the old chief said sternly.

Ever since she gave the medicine to Xia He's servant, Meng Yu'er has been paying close attention to Xia He's family. Xia He gave birth prematurely yesterday. After receiving the news, Meng Yuer began to panic all day long. He prayed that Xia He just accidentally fell down or something. To trigger premature labor, never pull yourself out.He regretted it, really!He shouldn't have given the medicine to Xia He's servant. If he wasn't caught this time, he vowed to get the medicine back and never think such vicious thoughts again.

However, things in the world are generally more reluctant to happen, and the bad things Meng Yuer did were finally exposed.

When Liu Fang arrived with Meng Yu'er, all the clan elders in the ancestral hall had already taken their seats.Row after row of tablets that almost reached the roof, there were two people kneeling and standing.

Mo Mei was not so much kneeling on the ground as she was paralyzed on the ground, "The grandson of the Li Chang, you want me to put the medicine in the lord's food, and continue to go down until the lord gives birth. If, ahem! I agree, he Just give me ten taels of silver, and after he becomes the master's husband, he will help me cancel my slave status, humble servant, the humble servant agreed for a while, cough, unexpectedly, the ancestor found out when he gave the medicine for the first time Yes, I pushed the lord in a panic, causing the lord to give birth prematurely, I plead guilty!"

Mo Mei's voice was very low, but it was enough for everyone present to hear clearly. Everyone was in disbelief, and it was completely unexpected that Meng Yu'er would do such a thing.

Every time Mo Mei said something, Meng Yuer's face turned paler, so that after Mo Mei finished speaking, Meng Dequan was [-]% sure that Meng Yuer did it.

"Brother Yu, is that so?"

"Yu'er, is this lowly servant slandering you, right? Don't worry, if you tell me, Grandpa won't let you be wronged!" The old village chief asked his grandson anxiously for proof. He didn't believe it. More exciting and good articles I'm sure Fei Yuan's kind grandson will do such things.

Meng Yu'er hesitated to speak several times, opened and closed her mouth, but she just couldn't speak, what should she say?Deny it?He had already heard the whispers of the people around him, everything was laid out in the sun, and he realized how vicious the person who gave the medicine was. When did he become like this, Meng Yuer was very confused.

"Yes!"

"Yu'er!"

"I'm sorry, Grandpa, Yu'er did something wrong." Meng Yu'er's tears rolled down her frighteningly white face.

"Auntie Li told me about that kind of medicine. It's not sold in general pharmacies. It's impossible for Brother Yu to know about it, and it's impossible for him to buy it. Someone must be involved in this matter." Meng Genshen interrupted suddenly.

Meng Yu'er's expression changed drastically, he couldn't implicate Brother Liu.

"Brother Yu, who gave you the medicine?"

Meng Yu'er couldn't answer this question. The old doctor Meng said that ordinary pharmacies can't buy it, so where can he, an ordinary brother, get it.Unable to make a lie, Meng Yuer simply bit her lip and remained silent.

"Brother Yu, don't be stubborn, the person who gave you the medicine has no good intentions!" Meng Yuer still pursed her lips and refused to say.

The clan elders sat in the ancestral hall and tried to persuade Meng Yuer, but Meng Yuer just refused to tell who gave him the medicine.In desperation, they had no choice but to lock Meng Yu'er into the side room of the ancestral hall during the war. As for Mo Mei, Meng Gensheng helped him treat the wound briefly, and also locked him into another room.

It's getting late, the matter has not been dealt with, everyone can only leave first, if Brother Yu insists on not revealing who that person is tomorrow, this matter can only be handed over to the government, what a pity for the clan!

Several clan elders sighed as they walked with their hands behind their backs.

When Xia He woke up, Meng Wu didn't care about this matter any more. In the end, whether it was dealt with within the clan or handed over to the government, anyway, if the village couldn't punish those who harmed Xia He as they should, he didn't mind taking action himself.
