524. Cao Bao was assassinated

Han Fei got out of bed with Zhang Bao's support, and just sat down on the chair when he saw a person hurriedly running in. Seeing Han Fei, he immediately bowed and said: "Lord Taiwei, it's really good that you're okay, it's all because of the negligence of the lower official that caused you to be stabbed in the city, and the lower official is willing to donate five thousand loads of grain as a commetic for the dead and wounded." You see......"

Speaking of this, he paused and peeked at Han Fei, only to see Han Fei with an expression that seemed to be smiling but not smiling, and his eyes were full of banter. The county commander Li Yan secretly complained in his heart, and hurriedly lowered his head.

"So you don't know that I'm being assassinated here?" Han Fei waited for a moment before speaking slowly. In just one sentence, the county commander Li Yan saw sweat on his forehead.

"Lord Taiwei, the lower officials really don't know, it's true..."

"If you don't know, then don't you know about the concubine you newly admitted?" As soon as these words came out, Li Yan couldn't help but feel like a dead face, and he kowtowed his head and said, "Lord Taiwei Mingjian!" That little concubine was given to me by a merchant surnamed Zhou, and I had no idea that they would have the audacity to assassinate you! ”

As he spoke, he kept kowtowing, and saw that his forehead was already blood-red. Han Fei and the others didn't have the slightest pity for him, Han Fei glanced at Elfang, who knew that he was going to arrest Li Yan's concubine with two people. Han Fei stopped them and asked him to take Guan Ping, Han Fei still had some confidence in Guan Ping's martial arts, he was afraid that he would not be able to take that concubine just by relying on the three of them. It turned out that Han Fei's intuition was accurate, and the concubine was about to flee when the four of them arrived here.

Seeing that the assassination mission failed, she had no choice but to stay here. She didn't want to die, so she chose to escape, and then what she didn't expect was that the four of them moved quickly and intercepted her before she could escape.

After a struggle, in the end, the woman failed to escape and was captured alive by Guan Pingsheng. Fearing that she would bite her tongue and kill herself, Elfang instinctively removed her chin. This is not the time to pity Xiang Xiang and cherish the jade at all, Lu Fang's movements are rough, but he doesn't feel that he has done anything wrong.

After capturing the woman, Han Fei pardoned the crime of the county commander Li Yan and asked him to send people to search for the merchant surnamed Zhou throughout the city. However, this person seemed to have evaporated from the world, and there was no trace of it at all.

Even his two courtyards and several shops in the county town were all abandoned by this man. Left behind a lot of unsuspecting subordinates and associates.

Who is this man? Han Fei couldn't help but ask himself in his heart after getting the news. Doing things so neatly and neatly, if you can't hit it and run away immediately, it seems that this person will be your main opponent in the future.

Han Fei, who originally planned to leave the next day, had to stay in Shanyang County for another day. However, this time Wei Yan didn't dare to separate from Han Fei again, so he directly got the soldiers into the city. They didn't say anything for a day, and they couldn't find the merchant surnamed Zhou before they left.

So in order not to delay the rest of the trip, Han Fei handed over the captured woman to the local Shadow Queen. Han Fei led people straight to Xuzhou. The next was a smooth journey, and it took another three days for Han Fei to bring people to Xuzhou City.

As soon as he entered the city, he noticed that the atmosphere was not right, there was no one on the street, and even one or two passers-by were in a hurry, as if they were hiding from some danger. Han Fei instinctively sensed that something was wrong, and it happened that a team of soldiers patrolled by, and Han Fei asked the guards to go up and inquire only then that he learned that Liu Bei's cheap old man, Cao Bao, was seriously injured by someone last night, and he still hasn't woken up. When Han Fei heard this, he didn't say a word and led people straight to Cao's mansion.

After arriving at Cao's Mansion, he found that Cao's Mansion was shrouded in a sad atmosphere. He walked in quickly, and someone from the porter came out to stop him, and Elfang stepped forward and shouted, "Lord Taiwei is here to visit Lord Cao." You don't have to lead the way. This report startled the porter, and without saying a word, he led Han Fei and his party to the back house.

Han Fei glanced back at the guards behind him, and the guards all knew that they had stayed in the outer house. Han Fei only took Zhang Bao and Elfang and followed the porter all the way to Cao Bao's bedroom. Before he entered the house, he heard bursts of crying from the house, Han Fei couldn't help frowning, and thought to himself: Is it too late for me? So he quickened his pace and walked inside.

When I came in, I suddenly saw a black line. It turned out to be Cao Bao's concubine, who was punished by Cao Bao's wife, and was kneeling on the ground sobbing. When they saw someone coming in, all the people in the house looked over. Finding that they didn't know the people who came, Cao Liang, Cao Bao's son, helped his mother to stand up, and Cao Bao's wife asked, "Your Excellency?" ”

Before Han Fei could speak, Elfang walked in from behind him and said, "Mrs. Cao, this is the captain of the Korean Dynasty. I'm Elk Fang of the Elk family, and I met you back then. ”

Cao Bao's wife naturally recognized Elfang, and after a closer look, it was really him. At this time, when he looked at Han Fei again, he immediately remembered his identity, so he asked his son to hold him and give Han Fei a salute. Han Fei hurriedly stopped him when he saw it: "Mrs. Cao doesn't need to be polite, she is in a hurry to come down, and she is bothered." I heard that Lord Cao was assassinated last night, how is it now? ”

"I am worried about Mrs. Lao, but my husband is old, and he is seriously injured this time, and now he has not woken up, and the concubine is only afraid of ......" wiped her tears before she finished speaking. Han Fei comforted her with a good look at the students, and then turned to Zhang Bao and said, "Bao'er, quickly go and let the military doctor come here to treat Lord Cao." ”

Zhang Bao took the order and left, and Han Fei asked what happened. As a result, it was okay not to ask, this question Mrs. Cao suddenly pointed to the concubine kneeling on the ground and said angrily: "It's all caused by this slut, yesterday my husband was staying in her house, how do you know that an assassin jumped into the room in the middle of the night, if it weren't for my husband's alertness, he shouted that there was an assassin, this sound may have startled the assassin, he stabbed my husband with a sword, and then jumped out of the window and escaped." This slut, she could have blocked that sword, but she thought that my husband was seriously injured for fear of death, and he really deserved to die! ”

After hearing this, Han Fei had a general understanding of the situation, so he asked, "Can the assassin ever find it?" ”

Mrs. Cao listened to Han Fei's question, turned her head to look at her son Cao Liang, Cao Liang hurriedly spoke: "Lord Taiwei, the assassin didn't catch him and fled, but he was slashed by the guards in the palace and was already injured. I have commanded the whole city to search for the man who has been wounded by the sword, and I think that if he does not leave the city, he will be caught sooner or later. ”

Han Fei nodded noncommittally after hearing Cao Liang's words, and said in his heart: If it was really those little devils who did it, I'm afraid this person wouldn't be able to catch it.
