As soon as Chen Deng's words came out, everyone's eyes focused on the Xuzhou messenger again.

Originally, the Xuzhou messenger finished delivering the letter, secretly happy in his heart, and was thinking about how to leave the city and live a happy life elsewhere.

Facing everyone's puzzled eyes, the Xuzhou messenger panicked: "No, it's none of my business, I'm just responsible for delivering the letter, and I don't know anything else!" ”

Looking at this panicked messenger, everyone couldn't imagine what he would have to do with Cao Cao, after all, what kind of fame could a small messenger make?

Just when everyone was puzzled, Chen Deng asked the Xuzhou messenger: "It's none of your business?" Then why did Cao Cao send his personal guard Tiger Benjun to send you a small messenger back, Xuande Gong still has to fight bloodily to come to Xuzhou City, is your Excellency's face bigger than Xuande Gong? ”

When the Xuzhou messenger heard this, he was about to cry out, his eloquence was not good, and it was not his turn to do such a thing as sending a letter to negotiate such a thing, but this time it was too dangerous to send a letter to Cao Cao, and people who had a little relationship tried to push off this errand, but this poor worm without any background relationship, he couldn't find anyone to help him exonerate, so he had to go to Cao Ying to deliver the letter, but he didn't expect to return to Xuzhou City from Cao Ying's nine deaths, he thought it would be Ji Tailai, Just when he was about to take good luck, the situation suddenly took a sharp turn for the worse, pointing the suspicious finger at him, which made the Xuzhou messenger, who was not very articulate, speechless.

"Yes, they are sending me back, I really don't know anything!"

Faced with Chen Deng's step-by-step questioning, the Xuzhou messenger replied to his words with a crying voice.

This Xuzhou messenger is relatively honest, not very good at lying, he hides secrets in his heart, so when he said that he didn't know anything, his eyes couldn't help but wander around, and he didn't dare to look directly into Chen Deng's eyes.

Chen Deng was influenced by his father since he was a child, and he developed the ability to observe words and feelings, when he questioned the Xuzhou messenger, he was watching his every move, and when the Xuzhou messenger answered Chen Deng's question, his eyes looked left and right

, at a glance, you can tell what he is hiding.

Chen Deng had long known that every move of this Xuzhou messenger had already been clearly investigated by the secret agents sent by Chen Deng.

So Chen Dengfa asked, "Do you really know anything?" But I have heard that the Messenger had buried something in the nearby woods before entering the city, and what could it be? ”

Chen Deng's words were like a basin of ice water poured on the messenger's head, making him shiver.

Because he received a large plate of gold, silver and jewelry from Cao Cao, he was worried that he would cause unnecessary trouble after being discovered, so he quietly buried these things in the nearby woods before entering the city, he thought that his secret was unaware, but he didn't expect that his every move was clearly seen by the secret agent hidden in the shadows, and reported to Chen Deng's father and son, so when the messenger came back, Chen Deng would ask him.

After his secret was discovered, the messenger was even more frightened and his feet weakened, originally he thought that he would be able to get out safely after returning to Xuzhou City, and the rest of the thing was to wait for the war to end, after Xuzhou City was safe, he took his family and took the gold and silver treasures buried in the woods outside the city to a place where there was no war and enjoyed the rest of his life.

The ideal is always beautiful, but the reality is cruel, the messenger's wishful thinking, under Chen Deng's questioning, will be wiped out in a blink of an eye, not only the fantasy of a better life is about to come to naught, his life will also fall into crisis again, this day the fate of the ups and downs is too fast, he is about to collapse.

"That's, that's ......"

The Xuzhou messenger was sweating profusely, and he couldn't answer Chen Deng's words.

Seeing that the Xuzhou messenger couldn't speak, Chen Deng sneered, and then clapped his hands.

As his clapping sounded, a man in gray clothes came from outside the door, the man was silent, he was carrying a bag in his hand, everyone didn't know what was in this bag, but how could the Xuzhou messenger not recognize it? Because this is exactly what he buried in the woods outside the city.

Seeing that the treasure he hid was discovered, the Xuzhou messenger was in a hurry, he stretched out his hand to touch the bag of things, but after his hand was stretched out, he suddenly took it back, because he knew that this thing was no longer there

It belongs to him, and besides, this bag of things has turned into a hot potato, which will cause him a lot of trouble.

Seeing the Xuzhou messenger stretch out a hand, and then retract it again, Chen Deng smiled: "What, don't you know this thing?" Then I'm going to open it and take a look. ”

As he spoke, Chen Deng gave the man in gray a look, the man in gray understood, nodded, and then pulled the rope on the bag, the rope opened in response, and the Xuzhou messenger opened his eyes wide, staring at the bag in the hand of the man in gray, as if what was contained in it was his lifeline.

After the gray-clothed man untied the bag, he poured the bag downward, only to see a bag full of gold, silver and jewelry poured out of the bag, for a while, the hall was dazzling, and everyone couldn't help but widen their eyes and let out a low exclamation.

Seeing that the secret could not be concealed, the Xuzhou messenger immediately knelt on the ground and cried to Tao Qian: "Lord, these gold and silver were given to the villain by Cao Cao, and the villain did not do anything to be sorry for the lord!" ”

The Xuzhou messenger cried desolately, but after seeing such a pile of gold, silver and jewelry piled up in front of him, no one would believe that he was innocent, even if he was as benevolent as Tao Qian, he didn't know whether to believe him or not.

Chen Deng smiled: "Reward? So good? How can a messenger be rewarded to you for no reason? ”

Suddenly, Chen Deng pretended to be suddenly enlightened and said, "Oh, yes, because Your Excellency the Messenger sent the letter to Cao Cao, which is why Cao Cao will reward you with so much gold, silver and jewelry." ”

But as soon as he finished speaking, Chen Deng pretended to be puzzled and said: "However, just sending a letter really has such a great merit, can you get so many rewards?" Besides, the letter was written by Xuande Gong, Cao Cao wants to reward it, and it should also be rewarded to Xuande Gong, how can he reward you with a person who delivers the letter? Unless······"

Chen Deng said, staring at the poor messenger with suspicion, and he trembled with fright, as if his mind had been seen through.

The messenger fell to the ground and cried, "No, I didn't collude with Cao Cao to make an internal response!" ”

The Xuzhou messenger shouted as if he was confessing himself without confessing himself.
