Three hundred black eyes, like a wolf and a tiger.

In the dead of night, Gan Ning, Hao Zhao, and Xiahou Lan each took a hundred black scabies, and according to the list provided by Miao Xu, they broke into the house, arrested those who woke up from their sleep, and did not know what had happened, and threw them into the prison.

The northern lieutenant of Luoyang, five days after arriving in Luoyang, finally made a move.

That night, the entire northern city of Luoyang fell into a panic. The cries, the noise, and the shouts continued for an hour.

When Hei Wei arrived in Luoyang, many people had already guessed that Cao Peng would do it.

But no one thought that Cao Peng's shot would be so fierce and fierce, and there was no rumor at all.

As soon as the black eye arrived, he immediately made a move.

It also shows the toughness and decisiveness of Cao Peng's methods.

This night, in the north city of Luoyang, people were panicked......—————————————————————————————— "Master Hou, I can't wait any longer!" ”

In a remote mansion in Beicheng, Chen Bodao stood outside the door and stood with his hands down, "Since the little Cao thief has done it, he will definitely not stop there." If he doesn't leave, I'm afraid he will come to the door sooner or later. At that time, the matter will become more and more serious, please make a decision as soon as possible. ”

"I said a long time ago, don't kill, don't kill...... Killing people can certainly kill the mouth, but it will make more and more flaws, not to mention the dignified court officials. If you kill one person, there will be a second person, a third person...... In the end, it can only be out of control. But no one listened...... What's the use of being anxious now? ”

Chen Shao lowered his head, not knowing how to answer.

After a while, the person in the house spoke again: "I'll find a way to solve this matter."

I'll let Su Gong try to send you away and transport the things out first. As for all the personnel on the Luoyang side, they must be withdrawn.

From now on, the market will be abandoned and will not be used again...... I'll arrange a new place as soon as possible, and you guys have to be careful when the time comes. Also, tell Xuan Degong that everything we can do has already been done...... Now that the old thief Cao has become aware, I am afraid that he will not be able to give him enough support in a short period of time. Worried about His Majesty's safety, he will not provide any more weapons before the year, so please take care of him. ”

Chen Shao bowed and said, "I understand." ”

"Alright, you go down first."

After Chen Shao retreated, the door opened.

From inside the door, a young man in white walked out, standing on the porch with his hands in his hands.

A white-faced and bearded middle-aged man followed closely behind the young man, "Master Hou, the situation is not good, we had better leave as soon as possible." ”

"Hmm!"

"Chief Yue ...... over there"

"Envoy Yue, try to save it as much as possible."

The young man thought for a while, "After all, she has paid so much for Her Majesty and suffered a lot, so she can't give up if she can't say give up." Besides, His Majesty is also quite fond of her, and if he can take her back, he will try to take her back. When you arrive in the palace, you can naturally be safe.

But in this situation, it is difficult to say that she will be taken away safely.

If it doesn't work, shut her up! Father, you make your own decision, and after you have dealt with the matter, you will come back as soon as possible. ”

"The slave understands."

The chief envoy is one of the fourteenth-class female officials of the Han Palace, above the facial features, ranking tenth, the lord is more than the five doctors, and he is regarded as a 600-stone man.

After the middle-aged man answered the order, he dodged and left.

I saw that his steps were light, as if he was not touching the ground, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

The young man stood on the porch, rubbed his eyebrows, and sighed a little bitterly, "I originally wanted to be friends with you, but I didn't want to, but I still became an enemy...... Cao Youxue, Cao Youxue, see how far you can go. Everything I can do, I've done! ”

With a sigh, the boy turned around and disappeared into the house.

The candlelight in the room flickered and then went out, plunging the room into darkness.

———————————————————————————— as Cao Peng had guessed, Miao Xu made a list of eighteen people, and only sixteen were arrested.

Li Zhong and a servant named Wang Er disappeared the day after the fire in the Weifu Mansion...... According to their families, they have never returned home and are now unknown. From under the water tank of Li Zhong's house, a large bag of copper coins was found, about 50 yuan, more than 40,000 yuan. Come to think of it, this is their reward for burning the treasury, and it is even possible that it is only a part of all the reward.

According to the confessions of those who were arrested, Li Zhong and Wang Er were the masterminds of this matter.

Someone paid them to try to get the items from the northern governor's mansion...... At that time, Zhu Zan was killed, and the northern lieutenant was scattered. So many people moved their minds, and Li Zhongwang and Wang Er's head together, and some people immediately agreed. Sixteen servants, each of whom received the benefit of the same money, naturally tried to cooperate. They don't need to do anything, they just need to open one eye and close one eye when they are on duty.

Later, Cao Peng took office, and these subordinates panicked.

It was Li Zhong who stepped forward again and set fire to the warehouse, claiming that the façade was just some sundries...... Subsequently, Li Zhongwang and Wang Er never appeared again.

"Son, simply report to Chen County's order, martial law in the whole city, and search from house to house."

Xia Houlan offered a strategy, but Cao Peng shook his head and vetoed it.

Kan Ze smiled: "Search for what? If I were those people, I would kill people.

They even dared to kill Zhu Beibei, let alone two small servants? Now that I search, I guess I can't even find the bones and slag. ”

"What then?"

"What should I do?" Kan Ze said: "Wait! ”

"Wait?"

"What Childe is doing today can be called scaring the snake.

Those servants are grass, and the people behind them are snakes...... To catch a snake, you need to lure the snake out of the hole. Panic them first, and then wait for an opportunity. When they come out of the hole, we will take them down in one fell swoop, and when the time comes, everyone will get the stolen goods, and see what they say. ”

Xia Houlan suddenly realized and nodded again and again.

"And these servants?"

Cao Peng frowned, and said in a deep voice: "This matter can be big or small, but this wind can't last."

They are to be imprisoned first, and when the matter is over, they are punished. Anyway, there are places everywhere in Luoyang City that need to be repaired, and some of them work hard. ”

"That's right."

Cao Peng stood up and stretched.

"The princes were busy all night last night, and they were all tired.

I'll go to Chen County, and everyone will go down and rest first...... The eldest brother stayed in the yatang, and if there was anything, he could handle it as appropriate. The three of you are divided into three shifts and take turns on duty. I guess it won't be long before the other side will be ready to strike at any time. ”

"Whoa!"

And they stood up and bowed down in response.

Cao Peng explained the situation to Zhang and Huang Yueying, then changed his clothes, took ten Feiwei as escorts, and left the Northern Governor's Mansion.

However, as soon as he went out, he saw Hyun Shuo running in a hurry.

"Cao Beibei, stay."

"Mr. Hyun Shuo, why are you here?"

Xuan Shuo bowed, gasping slightly.

He sighed and said a little tiredly: "Cao Beibei, I've heard about it." ”

"Oh?"

"Snow Lotus is dead, Chizhong is also dead......"

"Yes."

"I was going to come yesterday, but it was too late for me to ...... I have come today to tell the north something. ”

"What's the matter?"

"Remember, in the north, I sat down with little novice Mo Yan?"

Cao Peng closed his eyes slightly, and nodded after a moment of silence, "What Mr. Xuan Shuo said, but what is the little novice holding the piano on the translation table?" ”

"Exactly."

"What's wrong with him?"

Xuan Shuo replied: "Since yesterday, the grass people have not seen Mo Yan.

Originally, I thought that the child was playful, but he didn't come back last night. In addition, with so many incidents, the grass people were also a little worried, afraid that Mo Yan would have an accident. So I came early in the morning and wanted to ask Cao Beibei for help to see if I could find him. ”

To be honest, Cao Peng really didn't have any impression of Mo Yan.

Because Mo Yan almost never said a word to him, when he was on the translation platform, he also met in a hurry. If it weren't for Xuan Shuo mentioning it, Cao Peng wouldn't even be able to think of this person. frowned slightly, and said in his heart: This Xuan Shuo is really ignorant, how can I have time now to help him find a little novice? Besides, where do I find it? Maybe that little novice touched the hearts of mortals and became vulgar...... Luoyang is so big, with a population of nearly 100,000, how can I find it? Where to find it? I really don't know what to do...... But the White Horse Temple is under the rule of the Northern Governor's Office.

Xuan Shuo came to him to report the case, which was reasonable and reasonable, and there was nothing excessive.

After thinking about it, Cao Peng turned around and said, "Big Ya, you go to Mr. Kan Ze's side first, register this matter, and wait for me to come back and deal with it." ”

"Thank you Cao Beibei."

"Mr. Xuanshuo stays ......," Cao Peng called Xuanshuo.

was about to look for you, and you sent it to the door yourself, how could Cao Peng let it go?

"I have something to ask you, let's go to the county government together."

"Huh?"

"Don't worry, I just want to ask Mr. about something, I can't delay for long."

"In this way, the grass people are willing to obey the order of Cao Beibei."

The county government is not far from the northern governor's mansion, from the copper camel street to the Jianchunmen Street, and then walk two streets, is where the county government is located.

The two chatted as they walked.

Xuan Shuo's mouth kept talking, and after a while, he talked about the seal of the White Horse Temple; After a while, he talked about Mo Yan's naughty mischief. In the words, there is a strong sense of love. According to Xuan Shuo, Na Mo Yan was also born as a bitter child, and in the end he became a novice, which was also a last resort. However, he has a spiritual surname and can recite many scriptures in Sanskrit, and Xuan Shuo is also very optimistic about him.

"Mr. Hyun Shuo, I want to ask you something."

"Ah, please command the North."

"Who did you leave with the night before yesterday after the banquet had dispersed?"

Hyun Shuo was stunned for a moment, frowned and recalled carefully: "That night, because of the last incident, everyone was not very happy.

Lao Zhu was very unhappy, and scolded and said, how is Chi Boyu...... I saw that he had eaten too much wine and was a little emotional. I was worried that he would cause trouble, so I took him back to the White Horse Temple and arranged for him to rest. At that time, there was a novice in the temple to attest, and I also arranged a side room for him to rest. The next day, before dawn, he left, and I was chanting and doing my homework, so I didn't meet him...... By the way, I heard, was Lao Zhu killed Chi Boyu? Hehe, I think, unless he has the art of clone. ”

"But he did run away!"

"I don't know much about this......"

Xuan Shuo looked puzzled, "However, I don't think Lao Zhu is the one who killed Chi Boyu." ”

"How?"

"That's right, he and Chi Boyu are a bit contradictory, but it's also a quarrel. It is common for two people to fight and fight swords, but if Lao Zhu kills Chi Boyu...... Not to mention whether he would do it. Even if he has this mind, he may not be Chizhong's opponent. ”

"Oh?"

"The two of them have similar swordsmanship."

Cao Peng suddenly said: "Mr. Xuan Shuo also knows swordsmanship? ”

"Uh...... I can't say I know, but I can see some clues.

I think I also saw it when they were in Chang'an and when Wenhou was performing martial arts. Lao Zhu's swordsmanship is similar to Chi Boyu's, and it is difficult to say who is higher and who is lower. ”

Cao Peng's heart moved, "That's the same, I want to think about how prosperous the Liangzhou Army was back then, under the command of Taishi Dong, the fierce generals are like clouds." ”

"That's it!"

Hyun Shuo laughed.

Cao Peng asked again: "What about Zhang Liang?" ”

"Zhang Liang?"

"I heard that he was taught by a famous teacher."

"Zhang Yuanan, there is such a thing.

But that was a long time ago. Later, I heard that he fell off the horse and broke his arm, so he didn't follow Wang Yue to learn swordsmanship again...... No, I haven't seen him use a sword anyway, and I've rarely heard of him in conflict with people. As for the real skills, I can't say for sure, I can't say for sure. ”

Unconsciously, Cao Peng and the two arrived at the gate of the county office.

When I met him, I saw Chen Qun taking Meng Tan and hurriedly coming out of the county office.

"Youxue, you're just in time, come with me."

"Where?"

"Chrysanthemum!"

"Kikuhan-an?"

Chen Qun was a little angry, gritted his teeth and said, "Yue Guan has run away!" ”

"Huh?"

"Yesterday, after I asked Yue Guan, I asked her to go back.

At that time, I was also worried that it would be dangerous for a woman from Yueguan to return to the nunnery alone, so I arranged for two people to take turns guarding it.

This morning, the man I sent to protect Yueguan went over to replace the guard, but I didn't expect to find that the man had been killed.

Not only that, but a dead body was also found in the Chrysanthemum Nunnery, and Yue Guan was missing. I suspect that Yue Guan is the murderer. ”

Cao Peng couldn't help but gasp.

In two days, this is the third murder!

Oh my god, this case is really continuous...... No wonder Chen Qun was angry. Yesterday, the murderer was under his nose, but he let him go. Forget it, two more people died one after another, and Yue Guan ran away! For the arrogant Chen Qun, how could he swallow this bad breath?

Meng Tan glanced at Cao Peng, but turned a blind eye.

Cao Peng didn't understand where he offended Meng Tan. However, he was not allowed to think about it too much, Chen Qun had already ordered someone to bring over two horses.

"Mr. Hyun Shuo, you came just in time, let's go together."

"Whoa!"

At this time, Xuan Shuo didn't dare to show the slightest refusal, and without saying a word, he stepped on the war horse.

The group beat their horses and whips, and then rushed out of the surrounding area of the Chrysanthemum Nunnery ......—————————————————————————————————— Luoyang, which was still quiet.

The wild chrysanthemums on the mountain are in full bloom and colorful.

Meng Tan suddenly sneered: "The chrysanthemum nunnery in the chrysanthemum dock, the chrysanthemum nunnery lives in the chrysanthemum fairy...... Cao Beibei, I heard that this is a poem you wrote for Yue Guan? ”

Cao Peng frowned, "Exactly." ”

"It's really a good poem...... But the person who gave it was not the right one. In my opinion, what kind of chrysanthemum fairy is there, it's clearly a murderer. ”

"Meng Nannan, shut up."

Chen Qun turned around and shouted loudly, Meng Tan was stunned and closed his mouth.

Cao Peng glanced at him, ignored him, and dismounted.

"Cao Beibei, Meng Nannan seems to have a misunderstanding with you?"

Cao Peng glared at Xuan Shuo, "It's none of your business, keep up." ”

The corners of Xuan Shuo's mouth outlined a mocking smile, but it disappeared. He followed closely behind Chen Qun and walked into the chrysanthemum hermitage. At the door of the wing room in the front hall, a corpse was facing the sky on its back, and a short black arrow was inserted in the center of the eyebrows. Cao Peng is no stranger to that short arrow, when he was attacked by the assassin the night before, the assassin used such a short arrow, exactly the same.

"One arrow kills, good archery."

Meng Tan couldn't help but praise and shook his head slightly.

In Luoyang City, it is really Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. Someone first pierced Chi Zhong's heart with a sword, and now someone killed him with an arrow. I don't know, are the murderers in these two cases the same person? Cao Peng scratched his head, turned around and asked the officer, "Where is the other corpse?" ”

"Cross the courtyard in the back hall."

"Lead the way."

Cao Peng gave an order, and the messenger hurriedly walked to the backyard.

Chen Qun and Meng Tan also stood up one after another, followed Cao Peng, passed through the middle pavilion door, and entered the backyard.

The water pavilion is still there, but the lotus flowers in the pond have fallen. This autumn is cold and dead, and it is inevitable that such a phenomenon will occur.

Cao Peng had no intention of admiring the scenery of autumn in this small courtyard, and went straight to cross the courtyard.

"Where?"

"Whew...... in the room. ”

The errand officer pointed with his hand, it was Yue Guan's room.

saw the door open, Cao Peng jumped on the porch, and broke into the house.

A man was lying naked on the couch, and the bedding under him was soaked with blood. In the room, there was a strange smell, as if it was bloody, but it seemed to be mixed with something, and it was particularly pungent.

"Open the window!"

Chen Qun and Meng Tan also walked in at this time and scanned the room.

The bookcase was emptied, and there were two dishes on it, as well as half a jar of wine. On the ground, there were strips of broken cloth all over it, Cao Peng squatted down, picked it up and took a look, turned his head to Chen Qun and said, "It seems that the bhikkhus are wearing a tie that has been torn open by someone with violence......

Meng Tan couldn't help but say, "I'm still a merry monk." ”

"Meng Nannan, this county invites you to come over, not to let you be yin and yang here."

Chen Qun was angry, and Meng Tan immediately closed his mouth.

Cao Peng glanced at him, and didn't bother to pay attention to Meng Tan, "Find two dogs and try what is in this dish and wine." ”

"Whoa!"

Cao Peng commanded, stepped forward, and flipped the man's corpse over.

"Huh?" When he saw the appearance of the corpse clearly, he couldn't help but be surprised, and hurriedly shouted, "Mr. Xuan Shuo, come over quickly." ”

As a monk, even though he is only a layman at present, he does not want to see this murderous scene. But hearing Cao Peng's call, Xuan Shuo had no choice but to walk into the room. He raised one hand, covered his face with his sleeve, and covered his nose as he walked: "Cao Beibei, what's the matter?" ”

"See for yourself."

Cao Peng got up and got out of the way.

Hyun Shuo lowered his sleeves and looked intently at the corpse on the couch. It doesn't matter if you look at it, Hyun Shuo was stunned at the time, and he couldn't say a word for a long time.

Chen Qun was stunned and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Cao Peng took a deep breath and replied in a deep voice: "If I didn't recognize the wrong person, this person ...... It is Mr. Xuanshuo's disciple, named Mo Yan. This morning, Mr. Xuan Shuo also came to report the case, saying that Mo Yan's whereabouts are unknown. Moreover, I think the assassin who assassinated Chen Yuyang the night before was him. ”

When Xuan Shuo heard this, he couldn't help but be shocked.

"You, nonsense!"
