Cao Ju thought that he could get some secrets from the mouth of this county soldier, but the result disappointed him, these two county soldiers were sent by Li Yuan, and he didn't know that Caojiabao had such a secret passage before, and he told them when Li Yuan gave them this task. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

only got the exit of the secret passage in Caojiabao, in a dry well behind the ancestral hall, but didn't get the answer he really wanted, Cao Ju grabbed his neck and strangled him to death, anyway, even if he let the county soldiers go back, Li Yuan would not let him live.

After killing these two county soldiers, Cao Ju went around to the ancestral hall, and sure enough, he found that there was a dry well, and there was a manhole cover next to the dry well.

Cao Ju looked around, then slowly jumped into the dry well, and went down a distance of seven or eight zhang until he found that there was a secret door, so he walked in along the secret door, and sure enough, it was a secret passage that could accommodate two people to bend over and walk at the same time.

Walking along the secret passage, after walking for about a quarter of an hour, another secret door appeared in front of Cao Ju.

Cao Ju pushed open the secret door, this is still a dry well, it is already about forty or fifty zhang away from the gate of Caojiabao Fort, and, like the manhole cover behind the ancestral hall, there is also a layer of thick soil on it, and grass grows on the soil, which is very well disguised.

After noting down the location of the dry well and resetting the manhole cover, Cao Ju returned to Caojiabao and covered the manhole cover behind the ancestral hall. As for the corpses of these two county soldiers, Cao Ju first searched for them, and actually got a gold from the two of them, and then ignored the two corpses and went home directly.

When he returned home, he first checked his clothes to make sure that there were no blood stains, and Cao Ju was completely relieved and went to bed.

However, Cao Ju couldn't fall asleep over and over, and he kept thinking about the secret passage in his mind, and vaguely felt that there seemed to be a big conspiracy hidden in it.

Speechless all night, the next day, Caojiabao was lively, the bodies of the two county soldiers were found by a few children who went to play near the ancestral hall, it was the dog eggs, and the dog eggs they immediately ran to the house of the fort chief Cao Qi and told Cao Qi about the matter.

Cao Qi was naturally taken aback, and hurriedly followed Goudan and the others to see, and sure enough, it was so.

Then, Cao Qi heard another news, that is, outside Widow Xing's courtyard last night, Cao Wu and Cao Liu had shouted ghosts or something, and then Cao Dong's voice.

The county soldiers died in Caojiabao, and they died at the gate of the ancestral hall of Caojiabao, which is definitely not a trivial matter, and if it is not done well, it may bring disaster to the entire Caojiabao.

Cao Qi didn't dare to be careless at all, and immediately ordered someone to call Cao Wu and Cao Liu to the ancestral hall, and at the same time ordered everyone in the village who knew about this matter to keep their mouths shut and not to leak the matter to anyone.

Soon, Cao Wu and Cao Liu were brought in, although the two were still a little uneasy, but fortunately, after returning home last night, the two discussed and came up with a rhetoric, which was just used this morning.

When Cao Wu and Cao Liu arrived, the two corpses of the county soldiers in front of the Caojiabao ancestral hall were still there, but they were covered with white cloths, and other than that, there were only Cao Qi and the four elders of Caojiabao.

Cao Qi has been paying attention to the expressions of the two, seeing their eyes fluttering and their faces abnormal, especially after seeing the two corpses covered with white cloth, his face changed even more, knowing that this matter has nothing to do with the two of them.

"Hmph." Cao Qi sneered and said, "Cao Wu, Cao Liu, last night someone saw that you two brothers killed two county soldiers here, and they were quickly recruited, why did you kill them?" ”

Anyone seeing?

Cao Wu and Cao Liu were taken aback when they heard this, after all, they were young and not scheming enough, so they fell into the trap at once, and hurriedly waved their hands and said, "Castle Chief, we didn't kill them, they didn't kill them." ”

It's really stupid, the four elders looked at them with contempt, and thought to themselves, how could these two boys be so stupid to kill the county soldiers, how did the county soldiers enter Caojiabao, there must be a hidden secret behind the scenes.

After deceiving Cao Wu and Cao Liu to be related to this matter, Cao Qi also breathed a sigh of relief, guessing in his heart that he was the same as the four elders, so he immediately snorted coldly and said angrily: "Cao Wu, Cao Liu, you hurry up and truthfully summon what happened last night, otherwise, if there is half a lie, be careful of Cao Jiabao's patriarchal service." ”

The patriarchy of Caojiabao?

Cao Wu and Cao Liu's faces changed greatly, and the two glanced at each other, but Cao Qi saw it in their eyes, their hearts moved, and they said lightly: "Cao Lun, take Cao Liu down first." ”

"Yes, Captain." Cao Lun immediately responded and pressed Cao Liu down first.

Cao Liu was escorted down by Cao Lun, Cao Qi didn't rush to ask Cao Wu on the horse, but whispered a few words to an elder named Cao Sen next to him, who was stunned for a moment and left immediately.

Not long after, Cao Sen came back again, with two more leather whips in his hands, and handed them to Cao Qi.

Cao Qi took the leather whip, threw it at Cao Wu's feet, and said lightly: "Tell me honestly, otherwise you will serve with the leather whip." ”

Cao Wu's face changed greatly, he was scared in his heart, his mind turned sharply, and he was about to speak, but Cao Qi said lightly: "Cao Wu, don't panic to confess first, I'll let Elder Cao Sen wield a leather whip, you follow a few screams, let Cao Liu listen to it, and then it's not too late to confess." ”

Cao Wu is not a brainless person, he immediately understood what Cao Qi meant, his face changed greatly, his eyes rolled, but he had to obey Cao Qi's order, with the sound of the leather whip vibrating in the air, followed by a few screams.

Cao Qi played really cleverly with this hand, these four elders all secretly praised in their hearts, and Cao Wu didn't dare to talk nonsense anymore, and honestly told what happened yesterday.

Unexpectedly, there was a secret passage leading to the inside and outside of Caojiabao, Cao Qi and the four elders were also shocked, Cao Qi immediately asked, "Cao Wu, where is the secret passage?" ”

Cao Wu smiled bitterly and said, "The two military masters only said that they would come from the secret passage, and let us tie up the Xing clan and bring it to the ancestral hall, but they didn't tell us where the secret passage was. ”

Cao Qi and the five people didn't believe it completely, so they asked Cao Wu to go down and bring Cao Liu up.

Cao Liu had been frightened by the sound of the leather whip and Cao Wu's screams just now, and after being brought up, Cao Wu's shadow was no longer visible, and then he was frightened by Cao Qi.

The two of them told almost exactly the same, Cao Qi frowned slightly, waved his hand, and asked people to take Cao Liu down, thinking in his heart, could it be that the man's voice in Xing's residence last night was really Dong'er? Could it be that these two county soldiers were also killed by Dong'er?
