Chapter 24: Canaan

Qian Yanqing saw Cao Hong's surprise and said, "Yes, it is my daughter-in-law who has never passed the door, Die'er." ”

Cao Hong's face was gloomy at this time, and he could drip water, this Xu Zhi'an actually had an affair with that butterfly before Qian Bin's death. He turned his head to look at Qian Bin, whose face was bloodless, lying quietly on the door panel, and suddenly felt sad for him, from the mouths of his father and neighbors, Cao Hong could imagine that Qian Bin was an upright, brave, and helpful young man. But such a young man, now dead, died unexplained, maybe he is looking forward to the days after marriage, and wants to have children with that butterfly, and be with him for a lifetime, but he may not know before he dies that his fiancΓ©e has an affair with Xu Zhi'an, whom he regards as an enemy.

"Uncle Qian, didn't Brother Qian have any strange actions or leave anything before he left?" Cao Hong asked.

Although Qian Yanqing was sad and sad, she still sensed that the young man in front of her had something to say, so she looked at Cao Hong suspiciously and asked, "Who are you?" ”

Cao Hong saw that Qian Yanqing was suspicious, so he solemnly replied: "Uncle Qian, I am Li Yu, the official of Shuntian Mansion, who came to Mengjin because of the matter of the party chief, and I knew that Brother Qian was unfortunate by chance, because this matter and several other candidates for the third chief were too strange, so I ......."

Before Qian Yanqing finished listening, he stood up and said excitedly: "I, Qian Yanqing, my eldest son died in infancy, and finally had another son, who knew that he went again before he left some bones and blood." If it weren't for the party leader, would our family be extinct? Secretary Li, there is no one in our Qian family! Do you know? I can't afford to toss! You can do well, don't come to entanglement anymore, I Qian someone will not get involved in these things anymore, please, let our Qian family go! ”

Cao Hong hurriedly said: "Uncle Qian, I suspect that this matter is related to the Xu family, don't you want to avenge Brother Qian?" ”

"Revenge? What shall I take revenge? Is it up to me, old man? Or do you rely on the prefectural order that gets drunk all day long? Or, on you? Qian Yanqing said like a madman.

Cao Hong was still about to speak, but Qian Yanqing brushed his sleeves and left, not giving Cao Hong the slightest chance to speak.

After Cao Hong came out of the Qian family, he felt very heavy. Although Qian Yanqing's words were ugly, Cao Hong thought about it carefully, it was really not appropriate to drag the Qian family into the whirlpool again. The first is that Cao Hong really can't bear to encounter any danger in such a good family, and the second is that he is too close to the Qian family, and it is easy to expose his purpose prematurely.

But this matter is urgent, and there is not much time left for Cao Hong. There are many things that Cao Hong is ready to do, and the Xu family is already doing them. For example, look for the most important person who witnessed this matter, Old Man Xing.

Cao Hong dragged his heavy steps, and as soon as he entered the gate of the post house, he heard two people walking inside, one of whom said: "Xiao Cao, cough cough, Xiao Li, look who is coming, it's the fat man and me, is it a surprise soon?" ”

Cao Hong heard the voice and knew that Li Zhen, the fat man, had arrived. Hurriedly stepped forward, only to see Li Zhen and Chen Xian, the chief of the Yulin capital, coming together, and when he saw Cao Hong, Chen Xian gave a salute and said, "Secretary Li, meet again." ”

Cao Hong saw that Chen Xian was astute, and also replied: "Brother Chen, Brother Li, it's inconvenient to talk in the courtyard, let's go back to the house and talk again." ”

After entering the house and the three of them sat down, Chen Xian wanted to give a big salute again, Cao Hong hurriedly helped him up and said: "Brother Chen, I said that day, we are not formal, we only talk about friendship, and we don't need to be polite. ”

Chen Xian bowed his head and said, "Yes!" ”

Li Zhen, the fat man, said at this time: "Oh, you guys are welcome. Why Xiaocao, ask someone to send a message to us, did you lose your pants in this Mengjin bet, and call the fat man to come and catch people? ”

Cao Hongwan smiled and said, "I didn't expect the two of you to arrive so quickly." I asked the messenger to send a message to the two brothers, and I really wanted to ask them for help. ”

It turned out that the day before yesterday, Cao Hong saw that Meng Jin's affairs were getting more and more complicated, and he felt that he couldn't take care of the few clues that had been discovered, so he thought of the fat man and Chen Xianlai, and that night Cao Hong used the money and asked the post guard to go back to Luoyang to spread the word, but he didn't expect the two to arrive so quickly.

poured some water for the two, and Cao Hong told the two of them what he had seen and heard after coming to Mengjin.

Waiting for Cao Hong to finish, the fat man slapped the table with a "bang", and said angrily: "Xu Zhi'an, who entered this donkey, is still human." Something like a pig and a dog. Killing people is not enough to kill the ground, so humiliating the Qian family. Fat man, I saw him tear him up once. ”

Chen Xian saw that the fat man was not angry, so he said: "Brother Li, Xu Zhi'an is very easy to deal with this matter, and he asked him to pay off the debts of the Qian family when he found a reason, but the Xu family behind Xu Zhi'an is the most difficult to deal with." ”

After listening to what Chen Xian said, Cao Hong was exactly what he was worried about, so he asked: "Brother Chen's words are very true, Xu Zhi'an is just an introduction, according to my estimate, behind what Xu Zhi'an did must be the suzerain of Xu Jiabao behind the instructions." Now the question is a thousand things, how can we find out about this matter, and then uproot Xu Zhi'an and the Xu family behind him, so that the government decree can be passed and Li Shu can be at peace. ”

Chen Xian pondered for a while and said, "If you want this case to be solved." It is necessary to find out the death of Qian Bin first, and then find out the fugitive Xing old man in Xujiabao, and let the old man come forward to accuse Xujiabao of secretly accumulating troops, covering the population, and obstructing the will of the imperial court to select the third chief in Mengjin. In this way, what the Xu family has done can be made public, except for the bullies in this township. ”

After hearing this, Cao Hong slapped the arm of the chair, stood up and said, "The hero sees the same thing, Brother Chen, if you want to find out where the old man Xing is now, you must find him before the Xu family." ”

Chen Xian nodded and said, "Yulin still has some ways in Mengjin, leave this matter to me." ”

Then the fat man said, "What about me?" Tossing the fat man to this place won't be a companion for Xiao Chen, right? ”

Cao Hong smiled: "Brother Li, how can you, I want you to find out how Qian Bin died." It started with his fiancΓ©e, Die'er. ”

The fat man pursed his lips when he heard this, and said, "How big should I be?" Isn't it just dealing with a little slut, depending on your fat man's means. It's really a knife to kill chickens. ”

Cao Hong saw that the two of them responded, so he said happily: "Then please leave it to the two." ”

The fat man patted his chest and said, "Xiao Cao, don't worry, this time let you see the fat man's methods." ”

Although reluctant, Cao Hong still went to Mengjin County to make a point. Sometimes, you know it's useless to do something, but you still have to have an attitude.

As soon as I arrived at the gate of the county government, I saw that the door suddenly greeted me: "Secretary Li, oops, hurry up." Adults are waiting for you in the second hall. ”

"Ugh!" Seeing that Menzi, who was usually eye-to-eye, was suddenly so enthusiastic, Cao Hong was a little uncomfortable.

After walking into the second hall with a blank face, he found that there was no one in the second hall, Cao Hongzheng wondered, only to see a white jade-like slender hand open the curtain and walk in a girl. The girl was dressed in green clothes, it seemed that she was about sixteen or seventeen years old, except for a black hair, her whole body was snow-white, her face was beautiful and vulgar, the girl stood in front of Cao Hong with a smile, her skin was brighter than snow, her eyes were like a pool of clear water, and she turned a few times on Cao Hong's face. This girl's appearance is extremely beautiful, she is really like a pearl, beautiful jade, and there is a faint breath of book between her eyebrows.

Seeing Cao Hong's stunned appearance, the girl's face turned red, and then she smiled again: "Commander Li, what have you seen at the east entrance of Kushui Lane?" ”

"Ahh Is it the message you sent? Cao Hong suddenly realized.

"Yes, Xu Zhi'an thought he could hide it from the world, but unfortunately his little thing has long been known to me." The girl said calmly.

"I don't know who Miss is?" Cao Hong asked.

"The little girl's surname is Su Canaan, the daughter of Su Yun of Mengjin County." The girl said.

"It turns out that you are the one who spoke behind the hall on the day you first came." Cao Hongdao.

Su Jianan nodded and said: "Yes, after my father withdrew from the army, he came to Mengjin to make a county order, and my father wanted to do something to benefit Li Shu in office, but as soon as he arrived, the Xu family colluded with the thieves on the mountain to kill my mother." My father suffered from the lack of evidence, and was worried that I was still young at the time, so he kept it to bear and could only drink all day long. ”

"Miss Su, then you send a message to me, in case you are discovered, are you not afraid of the Xu family's revenge?" Cao Hong asked.

"I'm afraid, but no matter how scared I am, I have to do it, over the years, the Xu family has become more and more arrogant, not only the Xu Jiawu Fort is getting bigger and bigger, but their ambitions are also getting bigger and bigger. Before killing my mother, it was just sneaky; Now the methods they use to those who have been chosen as the three chiefs can be seen at a glance by the discerning person that it was his Xu family. Sucanan Silver Fang clenched.

Cao Hong listened and asked, "Miss Su, how did you know that Xu Zhi'an and Qian Bin's fiancΓ©e were colluded?" ”

Su Jianan replied: "Because Xu Zhi'an is the youngest son of the sect leader of the Xu family, I have been ordering people to secretly follow Xu Zhi'an. When Qian Bin was alive, Xu Zhi'an met that butterfly one day, so he coveted her beauty and constantly harassed Butterfly. was later discovered by Qian Bin, and Qian Bin went to find Xu Zhi'an, but was taught a lesson by Xu Zhi'an. It didn't take long for Xu Zhi'an ......"

Su Canaan blushed halfway through his words and said nothing. Cao Hong was puzzled: "What did Xu Zhian do?" ”

Su Jianan glanced at Cao Hong with disgust and said, "Xu Zhi'an raped that butterfly. ”

After hearing this, Cao Hong was also a little embarrassed by his reckless question just now, so he had to divert the conversation and said, "What happened later? ”

"Later, Xu Zhi'an didn't know what method he used, and Die'er went from washing her face with tears all day long at the beginning to being obedient to Xu Zhi'an now." Su Canaan also looked puzzled.

"I found that as long as Xu Zhi'an came to Mengjin, he would have a private meeting with Na Die'er after the lights were turned on. That's why I sent you a message and asked you to go to Kushui Lane to wait for Xu Zhi'an. Sujanan continued.

When Cao Hong heard this, he looked at Su Jianan and said, "Miss Su, it seems that you also think that Qian Bin's death and Xu Zhi'an can't get rid of it?" ”

Su Jianan Zhengse said: "Qian Bin's death is too strange. His father was elected party leader, and he died violently before marriage, such a coincidence, everyone will doubt it! ”

Cao Hong asked again: "Miss Su, then how do you know that I will take care of this matter, and how do you know that I am in charge of this matter?" ”

Su Jianan smiled: "Fourth Highness, Canaan is polite." After speaking, Ying Ying gave a salute.
