Chapter 278: It's Not Over Yet!

In the afternoon, the sun is shining.

However, the sky above the Su Mansion on Yongmen Street in the north city of Luoyang was gloomy. Yongmen Street is a bit similar to Tongtuo Street, and most of the people who live here are people who have a head in Luoyang. But at this moment, no one dared to walk out of the door, and no one came forward to ask the reason.

There was the bold fellow, looking out through the crack in the door.

I saw that the street was empty, only the columns on both sides of the street, heavily armed messengers, one by one, raised their eyebrows, and murderous.

Stomp ...... Shine on the night white leisurely down the doorstep, revealing elegance.

When everyone in Su Mansion heard the truth, they immediately put down their weapons and stopped resisting.

This county is here today, only for Suvay. All personnel outside the Su clan should immediately retreat to the side, otherwise they will be rebellious and killed. ”

Chen Qun shouted loudly, and for a while, the Su family's nursing home looked at each other.

The sudden attack of the government made the Su family not have time to prepare at all, so they rushed to the battle. Even before the confrontation, it was not clear to the guards what had happened. Moreover, the outfit of the black eye is not comparable to that of ordinary errand soldiers and soldiers. Under the order of the Su family's butler, the guards stepped forward one after another to stop them, and a fierce battle broke out although it was not fierce.

The gravel-paved lobby road was almost stained red.

The corpses, prostrate on the side of the road, looked extremely miserable...... Rebellion?

The Su family was actually involved in the rebellion!

The guards immediately panicked, lost their weapons, and retreated to both sides.

This is not an ordinary family conflict, it involves rebellion, it is to kill the whole family. These nursing homes only came forward to stop them because of the rich remuneration given by the Su family. No matter how generous the remuneration is, it can't compare to the butcher's knife of the imperial court. Even if you can stop it this time, what about next time? When the imperial army is dispatched, no one will be able to run away at that time. You must know that today's Henan Yin is not good at his generation.

In the Battle of Yanzhou that year, Cao's army lacked military rations.

Cheng Yu, who was Sima of Yanzhou at the time, actually made preserved food from human flesh and used it as food.

It's definitely not a good thing to off this guy.

However, there are still those tough people, who still stand in the middle cabinet and resist stubbornly.

Most of these people were entourages who came to Luoyang with Su Wei, and they were desperate for the Su family.

A big man shouted: "Brothers, the lord's family treats us well, and now that we are in danger, how can we abandon them?" I have long heard that the male son of Luoyang has no righteousness, but when I see it today, it is true. It's a man's, fight with them, and then kill out of Luoyang, naturally safe. ”

That's easy for you to say!

You are not from Luoyang, and you naturally have no worries when you escape from Luoyang.

But sixty percent of the nurses in this courtyard are locals of Luoyang. How can you live in Luoyang for generations, and how can you casually abandon your home?

The Han voice did not fall, only the sound of horses' hooves.

"Foolish rumors, don't give the head!"

The night is as white as a meteor and lightning, rushing towards the middle pavilion. Seven or eight paces away, he shook his hand and sent out an iron meteor.

The big man was caught off guard, and the sound of the iron meteor was right in the forehead. Since the seven changes of the White Tiger, Cao Peng's bones have been full of strength, and his strength has become stronger and stronger. This iron meteor carries great force. smashed the big man's forehead bone, his face was covered with blood, and he fell to the ground.

"Get out of the way!"

Cao Peng shouted.

Holding a halberd in one hand, it is as white as a tiger descending the mountain at night.

Rushed to the door of the middle pavilion, drew a halberd left and right, and struck two consecutive blows to pick up the two health guards.

This is the method of drawing a halberd to pick and chop, and it is the most ferocious. When the guard landed, he saw a large hole in his stomach and blood gushing.

"If you don't surrender, you won't be killed!"

Cao Peng reined in his horse and roared.

This roar fused with dantian qi, like a huge thunder, exploded in the air.

Coupled with his previous ferocious fighting, the guards were terrified. The wise one immediately lost his weapon and lay motionless on the ground.

Cao Peng sneered and turned to look at Chen Qun.

Chen Qun nodded, urged the horse to take the errand servant, and rushed into the middle pavilion.

——————————————————————————, "Master, I can't stand it anymore, let's go quickly." ”

The old butler burst into the back hall panting and yelled at Su Wei.

Su Wei smiled, held the long sword in his hand, and walked over, "Old Su, where are we going?" This Luoyang must have been closed, and the four lieutenants are out together, where can we go? The Su family has raised you and me for many years, and now is the time to be loyal...... Lao Su, you go first. ”

As he spoke, he stabbed out his sword and stabbed the old butler to the ground.

Completely ignoring the horror on the old butler's face, Su Wei turned around and walked to the front of the couch and sat down, glanced at the mutton fat jade bottle on the table, and then at the long sword in his hand, revealing a bitter smile. Placing the sword on the case, he picked up the bottle, pulled out the stopper, gritted his teeth, and threw his head back to swallow the poison in the bottle. Then, taking a deep breath, he sat down on the couch, closed his eyes, and waited quietly...... Now that he had reached this point, Solvay was no longer ready to live.

However, he had to leave a way out for the Su family, which was also the last thing he had to do.

The sound of horses' hooves sounded, and Chen Qun and Cao Peng came to the back hall. The two dismounted, and Cao Peng motioned to Hei Wei to guard the back hall, and then walked into the hall with Chen Qun.

"Chen Luoyang, Cao Beibei, little old man has been waiting for a long time!"

Su Wei smiled and spoke, his face extremely calm.

Dead soldiers!

This was Cao Peng's first feeling.

This seemingly kind, short and chubby shopkeeper Su is undoubtedly the dead man of the Su family.

Glancing at the corpse that fell at the door, Cao Peng knew that Su Wei must have made up his mind to die.

Chen Qun was not polite, walked to the side, shook his clothes and sat down.

"Shopkeeper Su, I never thought that we would meet for the third time, it would be in this situation. The official is also thinking about how to cooperate with the shopkeeper Su to make Luoyang prosperous. It's a pity that Shopkeeper Su is involved in these messy things, and the official is very disappointed. ”

"It's not what the Su clan wants, it's really a last resort."

Su Wei coughed lightly and said to Cao Peng: "Cao Beibei, Zhu Beibei's death was not Su's original intention.

At the beginning, Zhu Beibei confiscated a batch of ordnance in Beibei, which was not a big deal. Su believes that he is 100% sure that he can settle the ...... It's just that it is not Su who is in charge here, and the Su family is also forcibly involved...... Su also opposed it at the time, but unfortunately it was not approved. When it was said that the old housekeeper in northern Zhu was drinking wine, it was Zhang Yuanan who ordered someone to change it on the way, and Su tried to stop it after learning about it, but it was too late...... I have long said that merchants rely on money to pave the way, and they are exquisite...... Murder is not a big deal. ”

Cao Peng said: "Shopkeeper Su said this, could it be that he asked for a life?" ”

"Survival?" Su Wei laughed, "Since they killed Zhu Beibei, the old man knows that the way to live is gone, what do you want to live?"

I've been waiting for this day to come.

It's just that I didn't expect that they would be so brutal and murderous, so that this day came early.

I've taken poison and won't live long. I'm here to wait for the two adults...... The Su family has nothing to do with this matter, and one day it will be said that Su hopes that the two adults can give the Su family a way out. In exchange, I have here all the currency vouchers, as well as correspondence. Hehe, in fact, Su also knows that the two of them must have guessed the clue, but this is the only thing Su can do. ”

On the bookcase in front of him, there was a stack of case files.

Cao Peng and Chen Qun glanced at each other, motioned for the two black men to come in and take the case away.

"Chen Luoyang, the old man has a reluctant request, dare to ask the adult if he can answer?"

"What?"

"How can you guess that it's me?"

Chen Qun hesitated for a moment, "Shopkeeper Su, if a moth throws fire, don't blame others." ”

"Oh?"

"In two days, four lives were committed in a row, which is enough to show that you are in chaos.

Cao Beibei believes that the reason for this is that you are ready to evacuate, so you have managed to erase the traces left by the past.

Does Shopkeeper Su still remember Shi A?

At the beginning, we all thought that Shi Ah was afraid of things, so we fled from Luoyang.

But the disciple of the emperor, how can he be a person who is afraid of things? When Zhu Beibei was there, Shi A had assisted Zhu Beibei in tracking down clues, and he didn't want the two disciples to disappear mysteriously. Later, Zhu Beibei was killed, and Shi A was determined to find out the truth of the matter. So he managed to sneak into your house incognito...... Obviously, your previous killing actions were not planned, but improvised, so Shi Ah could not have predicted them in advance. But when Zhang Yuanan arrived, Chen Bozhi was ready to leave, and Shi A immediately told his friends to learn through his disciples.

And just yesterday afternoon, you begged for the passage disc from my hand, doesn't that mean it all? ”

Su Wei couldn't help but laugh!

"I'll just say, you should be cautious in everything, those people are too anxious, they can't get it, they can't do it......"

Cao Peng said: "Shopkeeper Su, let me ask you, what about Yue Guan?" ”

Su Wei shook his head, "Yue Guan didn't contact us, so I don't know her whereabouts. ”

"Really?"

"Chen Luoyang, at this time, do I need to hide anything?"

Su Wei laughed as he spoke, but after two laughs, a violent cough stopped his laughter. Black blood spurted from his mouth, staining his gray beard and chest.

Cao Peng's eyes narrowed, watching Su Wei's breath get weaker and weaker, and his fat body slid off the couch and fell to the ground.

Walking over, he reached out to probe Su Wei's snort, and then opened his eyes.

"Poison."

Chen Qun's expression was a little complicated, and after a while, he sighed softly.

"It's a pity that he's a man, too!"

With that, Chen Qun stood up.

"What should you do with these people in Su Mansion?"

"Take them all together, and then make a decision after I report to Cheng Gong."

"Very good."

Cao Peng also got up and walked out of the back hall with Chen Qun.

Standing on the doorstep, looking at the mess that filled the courtyard, he shook his head and let out a sigh.

"Big brother, do you have a decision?"

"Huh?"

"There are some things that I can't hesitate to ...... The sooner you decide, the more benefits. If you vacillate, you will definitely end up with no results. ”

Chen Qun's face sank.

He could hear the meaning of Cao Peng's words, but this question ...... In the Eastern Han Dynasty, the government was established by the clan. There is an inextricable relationship between the Han family and the family gate. Especially big valves such as Yingchuan Chen's are even more burdened by the emperor's grace. Sui Ming knew that the Han family might not be able to recover, but in his heart, he was always a little inclined to the Han family.

There are many people who have this kind of thinking.

Xun Yu is one of them.

On the one hand, he knew that Cao Ying was the best person to end this troubled time; On the other hand, he didn't want Cao Ying's authority to be too strong, so that in the end, the Han family existed in name only. Chen Qun also had this thought, but it was not as serious as Xun Yu. However, Cao Peng's words made him a little moved. If you decide early, it will be more beneficial to the family; So where should I go?

Chen Qun was also difficult to make a decision for a while.

———————————————————————————— the fall of the Su family made the people of Luoyang tremble.

Who doesn't know which one will suffer next?

Especially when Meng Tan returned to Luoyang with that batch of weapons, it made people feel even more frightened. The heads of Zhang Liang and Chen Shao were hung above the city gate of Luoyang. The human head, which was still dripping with blood, made everyone fearful. Haoqiangjia, who is entrenched in Luoyang, can see Chen Qun's unusualness from this small move. This guy seems to be elegant, but when he kills people, he will never be merciful. The huge Su family disappeared in one afternoon, and the majesty of the imperial court seemed to be shrouded in the sky over Luoyang again.

"Youxue!"

"Huh?"

"Yesterday, Meng Nannan dug up a corpse under the locust tree in the backyard of Zhu Dao's house."

"Oh?"

"The corpse has decomposed, but judging from the accessories that the corpse is carrying, it is a local man named Yulin.

This person works in Xiangshanju and has been deeply favored by Zhudao. But I don't know why, I died in Zhudao's house, which should have been done by Zhudao. ”

Xiangshan Ju is a men's hall located in the east of the city.

I wish you a good Longyang, Cao Peng has heard of this matter.

And the name Yulin, he seems to have some impressions. In these years, the wind of Longyang is quite prosperous, and it is not surprising that many powerful and wealthy families have prostitute male pets. I remember the first time I came to Luoyang, on the translation platform, Yue Guan mentioned this name, which made Zhu Dao annoyed and angry. Presumably this jade forest, the red apricot came out of the wall, was found by Zhu Dao and killed, and then buried under the locust tree in his own courtyard.

If this is the case, then there is an explanation for Zhu Dao's escape from Luoyang.

Someone must know about his killing of Yulin.

After Chi Zhong was killed, some people tried to blackmail Zhu Dao with this incident, so that Zhu Dao had no choice but to flee from Luoyang, so as to hide people's eyes and ears and confuse the public.

However, Cao Peng was not very interested in this.

What he was concerned about was where Yue Guan had fled now?

"Big brother, you can issue sea fishing papers."

"Yes!"

Cao Peng turned over and suddenly asked, "Big brother, is there any news from Yueguan?" ”

"Not yet."

Chen Qun rubbed his head and said with some distress: "This guy seems to have disappeared out of thin air, and there is no news at all."

But I have sent the matter to be inquired into, and I will find him. If this woman is not found, the case will not be closed......"

It can be seen that Chen Qun has a great grudge against Yue Guan.

This matter is not over yet!

Cao Peng smiled and urged the horse to go out.

When he walked out of the gate of Su Mansion, he suddenly said: "Eldest brother, Yuan Xuanshuo's report to the White Horse Temple, let's speed up."

We've locked him up for two days, and I'm afraid it's not a long-term solution.

Let him go back tomorrow, after all, this person is in Luoyang, and he is also a little famous. If the detention time is long, I am afraid that it will be disadvantageous to the eldest brother. ”

"Yes!"

Chen Qun said: "I have sent someone to Xudu for this matter, and it is estimated that by the end of this month, Honglu Temple will be able to reply." ”

He asked suspiciously: "Youxue, it seems that you are quite interested in this Yuan Xuanshuo." Could it be that you also have the heart to join the Futu disciples? ”

"Ha, I'm not very interested in the Floating Massacre.

The eldest brother should know that I am a disciple of Fangshi. I used to have a teacher, and now I am practicing on Tiantai Mountain, how can I join Futu? ”

Chen Qun knows a little about Cao Peng's early experience.

He knew that Cao Peng had been literate with a monk when he was a child, and he had learned many strange things from that scholar.

But Chen Qun didn't know that that Fang Shi was the famous Zuo Ci Zuo Yuanfang.

"Childe, why do you want to help that Xuanshuo?"

On the way back to the Northern Governor's Mansion, Xiahou Lan couldn't help but ask.

Cao Peng smiled slightly, and said softly: "This Xuanshuo is not simple......

"Oh?"

Xia Houlan asked again, but Cao Peng refused to answer.

It's just that the mysterious smile on his face made Xia Houlan even more curious.

———————————————————————————————————— Cao Hong led Deng Fan, and arrived outside the city of Xudu.

It was getting late, but he didn't go straight home, but went straight to Sikong Mansion.

"Yan Fa, you go home first."

"Huh?"

"How long has it been since you been back? This time I came back just in time to reunite with my family. ”

"Cao Duhu, what is the matter, the lord wants you to come back in such a hurry?"

"I guess it has something to do with your brother...... But don't ask so much, go home first. If anything, I'll send someone to the door. ”

Cao Hong knew that Deng Fan's family lived with Cao Peng's family.

Deng Fan scratched his head, and after shaking his horse, he took four personal soldiers and went to Cao Peng's house.

And Cao Hong went straight to Sikong Mansion.

Outside Sikong Mansion, Cao Hong unexpectedly saw Cao Ren getting off his horse.

"Brother, why are you back too?"

"The Lord ordered me to return immediately, and when I got the news, I immediately replied...... Zilian, are you also acting as a trick of the lord? ”

Cao Hong nodded and glanced at Cao Ren.

Both realized that something must have happened.

Otherwise, Runan Liu Bei is now recruiting troops, and his momentum is booming. The pressure on Chen Jun and Liang Jun is not small, and it must be a big deal to recall the two Liang County coaches at this time. As soon as the two entered the door, they saw Dian Wei and Xu Chu, both standing outside the middle pavilion with grim expressions.

"Zixiao, Zilian, you are finally here, the lord has been waiting for you for a long time, come with me."

It can be seen that Cao Ying must have ordered Dian Wei and the two to wait here.

Dian Wei didn't say a word, and led Cao Ren and Cao Hong into the back hall. Follow the path paved with fallen leaves, and after a few moments you will come to a cross-courtyard gate.

Outside the arch, Dian Man and Xu Yi were on duty with people.

Seeing Cao Hong and Cao Ren, Er Xiao hurriedly stepped forward to salute.

Cao Hong and Cao Ren didn't care about returning the courtesy, they only nodded, said hello, and followed Dian Wei into the courtyard.

In a hut of about 100 square meters, Cao Ying sat in the center. On both sides, Guo Jia, Cao Chun, Xia Hou and others sat separately.

"Zixiao, Zilian, you have finally arrived."

Cao Ying beckoned and motioned for the two to sit down.

Dian Wei stood outside the house, guarding the surroundings.

"Fengxiao, what happened to the lord to summon the two of us back?"

Guo Jia took advantage of Cao Ying's inattention, and lowered his voice and said: "The lord summoned you back to discuss attacking Runan and eliminating Liu Bei. ”

When Cao Ren heard this, he was suddenly shocked in his heart, and looked up at Cao Ying......
