Chen Deng's arrival was somewhat unexpected by Deng Ji.

He also couldn't understand Chen Deng's intention, but he could vaguely feel that Chen Deng would never come to Haixi for no reason, there must be a reason.

According to the rules, Chen Deng should have been informed in advance when he came over, and then Deng Ji went out of the city to greet him.

But he came to the door without saying a word, what was his mind?

Deng Ji played some drums.

When Cao Peng walked out of the yatang, he saw a strange smile on Wang Cheng's face. He rolled his eyes and motioned for Pu Yang Min and the others to follow first, while he himself walked two steps slowly, beckoned, and motioned for Feng Chao to step forward and drag Wang Cheng over from the prison door.

"Mr. Wang!"

Cao Peng sighed.

Wang Cheng's face was sallow, and his complexion was also extremely depressed.

It's just that he doesn't seem to be too frustrated, but a little proud.

"Gongzi Cao, is there something wrong?"

Cao Peng waved his hand and motioned for Feng Chao and the others to step back.

"Actually, I really didn't expect that you would be Xue Zhou."

"So what?"

"And you won't guess, I already know, you are Mai Xiong Mai Juwei."

Wang Cheng's body trembled, trying his best to keep himself shocked.

But his expression had betrayed his inner thoughts, and he was obviously extremely frightened, and even a little bit of fear was in it.

Cao Peng ignored him and said to himself: "Do you know how I guessed it?" ”

"Master Cao, I really don't understand, what do you mean by this."

"According to the cases I have read, Mai Juwei was also an extremely elegant person in Guangling County in his early years, and he was called the Four Masters with Chen Gong Hanyu and others."

"So what?"

Cao Peng smiled, looked at Wang Cheng and said, "This means that the record of Mai Juwei in the county government is very detailed.

Including when he was promoted to filial piety, when he entered Beijing as a lang, when he became a counselor, when he became a doctor in Taizhong, and so on. ”

Cao Peng's speech speed is very slow, but the yin and yang are frustrated, and it is very rhythmic.

In ordinary words, there is a faint power that shocks people's hearts.

Trial!

It is also a compulsory course for Cao Peng as a criminal policeman in his previous life.

The interrogation is not simply asking you a few words of your name and origin, nor is it like slapping the table in some TV dramas in later generations: confess leniently, resist strictly.

There is a great deal of skill in this.

Capture the other person's mind and know the other person's intentions.

Cao Peng's words were not in a hurry, but they made Wang Cheng feel the pressure.

His eyes were closed and he didn't speak.

"If the record is complete, it means that there is something about Mak Juwei, and I know very well.

He is known for his noble temperament, and when he was a ten-member servant, he once asked him for 800,000 yuan, and he could continue to serve as a doctor in Taizhong. What was the market price of Dr. Taizhong at that time? One and two hundred thousand dollars. In other words, the Ten Standing Servants still attach great importance to Mai Juwei.

However, Mak Juwei eventually resigned and returned to his hometown...... He doesn't have 800,000 dollars?

I wouldn't believe it. Looking at the Mai family's property, even if it is not 800,000, it is about the same. This person is a good chrysanthemum, especially the ink chrysanthemum. A person who likes rare ink chrysanthemums, and in his later years, he suddenly fell in love with ordinary red plums? That's a big change. And Xuezhou, a native of Meixiang, Langya County, Qingzhou...... It is said that in the early years, Meixiang was full of red plums, and it was also a very famous place in Langya County. I also asked Mr. Puyang specifically about this. You should know that Mr. Puyang's insight is still more powerful than ordinary people. ”

Wang Cheng's body couldn't help trembling, but he couldn't tell whether it was pain or horror.

"When I'm older, I always feel homesick.

So I pulled out the black chrysanthemum in the courtyard and planted the red plum in the garden, which can also express homesickness. At the same time, it will not be suspected...... Am I right? Dr. Mai! ”

Wang Cheng opened his eyes and looked at Cao Peng in a complicated manner.

"You're really only fourteen?"

"Well, two months away, fifteen."

Wang Cheng closed his eyes again, but it could be seen from his unstoppable eyelids that his heart must not be at peace.

"One more thing...... Yiluwan, my two righteous brothers led 3,000 sharp soldiers, and they were ready to go. ”

"What does it have to do with me?"

"I also heard that the Yuzhou Mountain and Sea Road is complicated and not easy to find.

But you may have forgotten one thing, since my two righteous brothers can take over the troops and horses from Wei Mi, they will naturally not be afraid of any complicated sea routes. On Yuzhou Mountain, it is said that there are still more than 30,000 people. When Mr. Wang brought them out of Qingzhou, did he just want them to die? ”

"What do you mean by that?"

"It's not interesting, I just want to remind you that 30,000 people are in your hands."

Wang Cheng opened his eyes again and glared at Cao Peng.

"You now, there are two ways, cooperate with me, you will inevitably die, but I will try to save the lives of those 30,000 people, and settle them properly; Or, I will send someone to Iru now, and tell me that my two brothers-in-law will not leave any of the 30,000 people on the island. ”

"You ......"

Wang Cheng looked at Cao Peng in shock, with a look of horror in his eyes.

He would never have imagined that the weak-crowned young man in front of him was so ruthless.

He acted and spoke, and he did not have the temperament of a fourteen-year-old boy at all. However, Wang Cheng also had to admit that Cao Peng hit him to the core.

"Mai Ren doesn't want to kill your surname."

"So ......"

"So he went to Guangling and begged Chen Taishou to come forward and drive you away."

Wang Cheng said, showing a bitter smile, "At that time, he also asked for my opinion, but I didn't know that I had already promised others to take your surname."

Cao Gongzi, don't you want to know, who wants to harm you?

As long as you can......"

"Liu Bei!"

"Ahh

Cao Peng's words made Wang Cheng come to an abrupt end.

"How do you know?"

"Since I can deduce that Mai Xiong is Wang Cheng, why can't I guess, who wants to kill me? Some people monopolized the Lianghuai Salt Road and used private salt to purchase military rations and weapons. I am rectifying the market in Haixi, and the more I do it, the more dangerous they will become.

Not only that, but I also know that Mai Ren has been helping Liu Bei smuggle salt, right?

Mr. Wang, if you cooperate with me, I can at least ensure that you will not die too painfully. But if you're smart, don't blame me for being ruthless. ”

"I ......" Wang Cheng's sallow face showed a touch of red.

He looked at Cao Peng and suddenly smiled bitterly.

"Cao Gongzi, I made a big mistake."

"Oh?"

"Everyone, including me, thought that Deng Xianling was the main person in charge of this trip, and Puyang Min and others were his staff. Actually, you are his staff...... It's just that because of your young age, everyone ignores you. Among the people brought by the county order this time, you are the most dangerous one. If I had targeted you at the beginning, maybe it would have ended differently. ”

"Mr. Wang, in this world, there is no if......"

"So, I didn't lose unjustly!" Wang Cheng smiled, "Because I don't even know who my opponent is!" ”

Cao Peng: This time, there is no interface.

Wang Cheng said suddenly: "Gongzi Cao, if you can keep my 30,000 brothers alive, I will take you to dig up treasures." ”

"Treasure, under the tower."

"Huh?"

"Actually, you've found the entrance, but you're missing something important, so you haven't done it for a long time."

"Fish Kiss Copper Town!"

"You've tried to dig a passage out, but you've been unsuccessful.

A few years ago, people often dived by the lotus pond, but no one found a dead body. In fact, it's not the dead bodies that jump into the water, it's the dirt you dig up when you dig the tunnel. With so much dirt, you have nowhere to throw it, so you came up with the trick of making a statue of a saint. You set up a library in Xili, and you found someone to build a statue of a saint, saying that it was a sign of respect for the saint. Actually, after you made the clay into embryos, you ordered someone to pull it to the edge of the pool that night and throw it into the pool. Since it was night, no one could see it clearly.

So there is the legend of the unjust soul throwing into the pool...... It wasn't until a few years ago that you discovered the secrets of Fishkiss Copper and stopped digging tunnels. ”

"You, you ......"

Wang Cheng only felt that the hairs on his spine stood up.

Cao Peng's words hit his vital point.

In an instant, all his attachment was gone, and only endless fear remained.

And Cao Peng glanced at him, "Whether you cooperate or not, I won't kill those 30,000 people."

In order for Haixi to recover, it needs a large population, and they can be used as tun people...... I may be vicious, but I don't kill innocents. ”

"Master Cao, I'll take you to open the entrance."

Wang Cheng's heart suddenly calmed down at this moment.

From Cao Peng's eyes, he read sincerity.

He has been a bandit all his life and has killed countless people; even killed the officials of Zhishi, and Wang Cheng also knew that he definitely had no way to live.

Now that Cao Peng has made a promise, maybe he can really bring a way to life for those who are struggling to survive.

The gathering of 30,000 people in the small Yuzhou Mountain is not a long-term event. Although Yuzhou Mountain is hidden, it is not a long-term solution after all.

Being able to return to land has been the idea of Wang Cheng and others for many years.

The reason why he wants to open the treasure is also to let those who follow him have a proper placement.

As for Wang Cheng himself......—————————————————————————— "Cao Peng, you did a good thing!" ”

When Cao Peng walked out of the gate of the mansion, he saw Chen Deng standing in front of the door.

However, he unexpectedly saw that there was another acquaintance behind Chen Deng. It was the young man who talked to him about food when he was in Xiapi.

"Chen Taishou!"

"You knew that the pirates were coming, why didn't you inform the government in time?"

"I ......"

"Do you think that if you are a little clever, you can act recklessly? In case these pirates break through Haixi, the vitality that Haixi County has just recovered will be destroyed. How dare you be so bold? ”

Cao Peng was stunned!

originally thought that Chen Deng came over to trouble Deng Ji.

But looking at what he said, what does it mean to come to find trouble?

The young man behind Chen Deng grimaced at Cao Peng, and then said loudly: "It's indeed bold, but Cao Peng is young and ignorant, how can Deng Xian Ling let you condone him to mess around like this?" Also, wheat kernels...... As a gentleman of Haixi, at such a time, you did not stay in the county seat, but went to Guangling, how can you be worthy of your father Mai Gong Juwei, the righteous name of this life. ”

Mai Ren stood aside, a little overwhelmed.

Chen Deng glared at the young man, and then looked at Cao Peng.

"Cao Peng!"

"The lower official is here."

"Would you like to go to Guangling with me?"

"Huh?"

Cao Peng raised his head in amazement and looked at Chen Deng.

saw Chen Deng's somewhat rigid face, with a faint smile.

Chen Deng turned his head and looked at Deng Ji again.

"Deng County Order, are you willing to cut your love?"

"Xiaguan...... If Youxue is willing, the lower officials will not stop him. ”

In Deng Ji's heart, there was a trace of ecstasy.

Ah Fu, was favored by Chen Deng?

If you stay in Haixi, you will not have a future as well as Guangling after all.

The most important thing is that when Ah Fu arrives in Guangling, he can make more friends, which is far more powerful than staying in Haixi, which is a hundred times stronger.

Cao Peng hesitated for a moment and said, "Chen Taishou, let the officials think twice about this matter before making a decision." Xia Guan thought that the top priority was to open the treasure house left by Li Guangli as soon as possible. ”

"Sea treasure provincial treasure?"

Chen Deng was stunned and exclaimed: "You mean, the legendary treasure of the Sea Treasure Province is indeed true?" ”

"Exactly."

"You ......," Chen Deng muttered, "I have heard people say since I was a child that there was a batch of hidden treasures in Haixi, which were left by the Marquis of Haixi back then.

For a long time, no one knew about it, so I thought it was just a legend.

I didn't expect ...... Long article, it seems that we are really here today...... Zi Ai, why don't you go with us.

I know you're a little uncomfortable, but that's just a trivial matter, and I don't know what Deng County ordered to do. But my father once said that Deng Xianling was a serious person. If there's any misunderstanding between you, you might as well make it clear, it's not a big deal......"

Mai Ren, his face flushed.

He went to Guangling to complain, wanting to drive Deng Ji away through Chen Deng.

Who knows...... As soon as he walked on his front foot, the pirates on his back foot offended.

When he walked into the Haixi City Gate and heard the cheers of those Haixi people, Mai Ren knew that his plan was probably about to fail!

How could Mai Ren not know the reason for this?

He couldn't help but secretly rejoice, glad that he didn't take the liberty to contact Xue Zhou at the beginning, otherwise once he was defeated, he would have no place in Haixi.

After all, the crime of collusion with pirates...... Cao Peng glanced at Mai Ren and then at Chen Deng.

He suddenly sighed and said softly: "Chen Taishou, you came just in time, there is an old case, let's solve it together today." ”

"An old case?"

Deng Ji looked at Cao Peng suspiciously.

Chen Deng asked, "What old case?" ”

"Feng Chao!"

"Whoa!"

Feng Chao walked in from outside the crowd and intervened in the salute.

Cao Peng said: "This Feng Cao Peng ...... No, in fact, he should be called Feng Gongzi, the son of Feng Zhan, who was killed three years ago, and now in Haixi, he is the soldier Cao Peng. The old case I am talking about is the real murderer who killed Feng Xianling three years ago. ”

Feng Chao couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this.

"The real murderer of my father?"

When Chen Deng heard Cao Peng's words, his face also showed a solemn expression.

He asked in a deep voice: "Cao Peng, could it be that it wasn't the pirates?" You know, who exactly did it! ”

Cao Peng took a deep breath, "Princess, please come with me!" ”
