The early winter morning was already a bit freezing, and I would not have gotten up so early before, but now it's different, I have my own tasks and things, and I have to be responsible for them. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
My brother and I had breakfast and were thinking about Hu Sansheng, and my brother went to Zhou Cheng's house and knocked on the door, but no one answered.
"Isn't your brother Zhou back yet?" My brother looked at me with a puzzled expression.
"I don't know! Maybe it's too much, let's pull it up. "I guess there's always a bad feeling in my mind, and I'd rather it was fake.
My brother and I arrived at the post station, where Hu Sansheng was temporarily detained, and Meng Ru and Fuxin watched, focusing on protecting his safety.
"Why don't you send someone to find Brother Zhou?" I followed my brother and hesitated.
"Didn't you say you're going to inspect the barracks?" My brother turned to look at me.
"So I'm going to ask him to come back." My words seem to have aroused my brother's vigilance, whether Zhou Cheng's sudden disappearance now has anything to do with Peng Lai's disappearance, otherwise how could he not come back for so long when he went to inspect the military camp in Jingzhou City, not to mention that Zhao Yun is still here.
"Qiansheng, if you find something, tell me directly, don't hide it from me." My brother advised.
"Of course, how could I hide it from you." I grinned, after all, only Ripple and my brother are the people I trust the most now, of course, Meng Ru and Fuxin are also good, and it is lucky to meet these people.
"Hu Sansheng, did you sleep well yesterday?" I walked directly in front of Hu Sansheng as soon as I entered the door.
"It's not bad...... Hu Sansheng said with a wince, as if he was afraid of something.
"Tell me, who asked you to kidnap Penglai? What is the purpose? I found a chair in the room for my brother to sit down, Meng Ru and Fuxin stood by the door, and the four of them just stood like this, staring at Hu Sansheng in front of them.
"I can't say, they're going to kill me." Hu Sansheng closed his eyes.
"Aren't you afraid that I'll kill you?" I roared angrily, Hu Sansheng's eyes opened slightly, looking at me, with some horror in his eyes.
"I'm afraid...... I'm afraid ......" Hu Sansheng buried his face in the palm of his hand and sobbed.
"What are you crying about now? Say! "I leaned my face against Hu Sansheng, if he hadn't said it yet, I would have killed him if I looked for it, which is really worrying.
"Hu Sansheng, you say, Qiansheng won't really kill you. Do you remember your father? The elder brother looked at Hu Sansheng and slowly spoke in his heart. Your father, Uncle Hu, has been selling pork for a living all his life, and he also has a good relationship with our father and often helps our family. The elder brother looked at Hu Sansheng, and at this time Hu Sansheng gradually stretched his head up.
"That day, we were sweeping away Chen Laohu and Xiuxian Pavilion in Jingzhou City, who knew that officials and businessmen colluded, Xu Hong came with soldiers and horses, and killed Uncle Hu when he fled, I am all heartbroken." Speaking of this, my brother choked up several times and held his forehead with his hand, very sad.
"General Zhang, I know that my father is very good to you, and you are all great heroes, at that time, I was forced to leave from Jingzhou City, and now I am naturally clear in my heart, as the people of Jingzhou, I also regard you as benefactors." Hu Sansheng had already shed tears for his dead father.
"And if you say that, why don't you tell us who made you do it?"
"Hu Sansheng, you are a common person, now the commodity market was chaotic, and the revitalization of the economy is imminent, but you took someone to arrest Peng Lai, what crime do you think you should be guilty of?" I pointed at Hu Sansheng.
"I say!" Hu Sansheng actually wanted to speak, the speed was unexpected and unexpected, I didn't expect Hu Sansheng to agree so quickly, not to mention that Hu Sansheng was very afraid of death. Hu Sansheng got up from the bed, slowly walked to his brother, looked around, whispered in his brother's ear, and after saying that, Hu Sansheng sat down on the ground, muttering that he was going to die.
After hearing this, my brother's face sank suddenly, thinking that there must be something big, otherwise my brother would not have changed so obviously.
"Qiansheng, your instincts are accurate." My brother looked up at me with a frown furrowed, his best brother was in trouble right now.
"Let's go now." I looked at my brother.
"General, I don't want to die!" Before I stepped out of the threshold, Hu Sansheng knelt on the ground and cried to us, to be honest, I couldn't bear it, after all, his father also had kindness to us, I told Fuxin to send someone to protect him, and Meng Ru acted with us.
As soon as he walked out of the house, Zhao Yun happened to come over with a team of people.
"I don't know why General Zhao came?" I asked.
"I'm here to ask how you're doing, and there's one more thing I want to tell you." Zhao Yun looked at us and glanced back again.
"But what about General Zhou?" I asked.
"Exactly, how does Qiansheng know?" Zhao Yun looked at me.
"We just got the news that the instigator behind this matter is Zhou Cheng!" The elder brother said it very loudly, and the soldiers around him had already heard it, and they were talking about it.
"That's exactly what I'm talking about, and a soldier told me that Zhou Cheng went to Jingzhou City Tower yesterday to inspect it, and then secretly went to Jiangbei at night." After listening to Zhao Yun, I felt a chill in my heart, and the clue I finally got was broken. "I have already sent someone across the river to spy on the situation, Zhou Cheng has already defected." Zhao Yun was holding a spear, and it seemed that he was destined to fight with Zhou Cheng.
"I didn't expect that." My brother's best friend did just that. "I believe that Zhou Cheng must have something unspeakable." Brother said.
"Even if there is, this incident is inevitably too much, completely unforgivable!" Zhao Yun dismounted, with a sad face.
"Maybe this matter has nothing to do with Cao Cao, He Wen, or Xu Hong." I thought about it for a while, Zhou Cheng went to Jiangbei, it was nothing more than going to Cao Cao's territory, so it must be inseparable from these people, and Xu Hong and Cao Cao were defeated and wanted to take revenge on Liu Bei, and now it has nothing to do with Sun Quan, this belongs to Liu Bei alone.
"In this way, continue to inquire about this matter, Qiansheng and I are ready to go to Jiangdong at any time to investigate and see where Peng Lai is, this matter cannot be delayed." Zhao Yun said in a hurry, and Zhuge Liang Youxin came to Jingzhou City again this afternoon, and there was trouble in this matter.
"General Zhao and Qiansheng are going, how can I stay here alone?" My brother wanted to go with him.
"General Zhang, there are many affairs in Jingzhou City, and the questions about these people have not been clarified, and haven't they just set up a post station? This also requires someone to supervise and check the clues! Zhao Yun was reasonable, and his brother didn't ask much.
After the matter is arranged, I am waiting to report to Zhuge Liang.
