Li Jing was a beautiful man before his death!

Because he was a violent pawn, even the mourning hall was not ready, and the body was quietly placed in a side room.

Cao Peng stepped forward and saluted, and at the same time looked at it carefully. Then he walked out of the wing room, said goodbye to Mrs. Li and left.

"Ah Fu, what's wrong with you?"

On the way back, Huang Yueying couldn't help but ask softly.

"Li Yifeng was not a violent heart disease, but was poisoned."

"Huh?"

"This Mrs. Li is also eccentric. As soon as her husband died, she was in a hurry to sell her property and wanted to leave Wu County...... There must be something greasy in this. ”

"What do you mean by being greasy?"

"Uh, it's weird......"

"Is it also the dialect of Zhongyang Mountain?"

"Well, sort of."

Cao Peng found that whether it is ancient or future, women's ability to talk about things is equally powerful. was originally discussing Li Jing's death, but why did this blink of an eye turn into a discussion of dialects? Looking at Huang Yueying's curious look, Cao Peng also felt helpless.

However, it can also be seen from this that Huang Yueying is not very fond of this kind of conspiracy and intrigues.

Cao Peng did not discuss this issue further.

It's just that in this heart, there is a doubt that cannot be erased.

sent Huang Yueying back to Gefu first, and before parting, Cao Peng said: "Yueying, I may not be able to accompany you tomorrow...... I will go with Mr. Xiu Ruo to Huating for a wedding banquet. ”

"How long will that take?"

"I guess it will take two or three days."

"Hmm...... You come back early, my dad seems to be deliberately leaving in the past two days, I'm worried about ......"

Cao Peng chuckled in his heart, and subconsciously clenched Huang Yueying's hand, as if he was afraid that she would leave, and the two would never see each other again.

"Then I told my husband, I'm not going!"

"No...... The eldest husband should put his career first, and since Mr. Hugh Ruo asked you to accompany him, he must have something important. You've been with me for the past two days, and you've not done anything well. If you resign tomorrow, it will definitely make Mr. Hugh Ruo unhappy, and it will not benefit you. ”

Cao Peng said: "Then what should I do?" ”

"Stupid Ah Fu, I only said that my father intended to leave, but if he really wants to leave, how can it be so fast?

You go early and come back early...... Also, you always have to explain our affairs to my father, can't you never see each other? ”

When she said this, Huang Yueying lowered her head.

The sunset reflected her side, and the blush could be vaguely seen.

Cao Peng was overjoyed...... Huang Yueying's words, isn't it reminding him to propose to the Huang family?

He didn't even remember how he was separated from Huang Yueying, and returned to the post station as if he was stepping on cotton. That night, it happened to be Kan Ze on duty again, and when Cao Peng saw Kan Ze, he finally sobered up a little, and asked people to unload the books in the car and put them in Kan Ze's room.

"It's ......"

"Brother Kan, I know that you are a good book.

Today we happened to learn about a family that sold books, so we bought all those books. These are bothered by you, and there are no gifts. These books will be given to you, and they should be regarded as a brother's heart, and you must not refuse. ”

Kan Ze was overjoyed, took Cao Peng's hand, and thanked him again and again.

After putting all the books into Kan Ze's room, Cao Peng returned to his residence.

Xun Yan hasn't come back yet, and the small cross courtyard is also quiet. The two housekeepers said hello to Cao Peng and went back to their rooms.

These days, Cao Peng is busy with tenderness and sweetness, so he can't help but be a little slack.

However, as time passed, Cao Peng gradually understood Xun Yan's thoughts. Xun Yanming is visiting relatives and friends, but he is actually adding to Sun Ce's blockage. Xun Yan and Cao Peng said that Sun Ce is arrogant and arrogant, and has the air of a big husband. With the fame left by Sun Jian and the prestige created by his own martial arts, it was very easy to gain a firm foothold in Jiangdong and achieve a prince.

However, there was a huge omission in Sun Ce's reign in Jiangdong.

He was born in a wealthy family, and he can be regarded as a celebrity. But compared with those scholars who are often hundreds of years old, the Sun family's background is much weaker after all. In addition, at the beginning of the conquest of Jiangdong, Sun Ce used extremely iron-blooded means to attack and annex the Shi family, which also caused not a particularly harmonious relationship between Sun Ce and the Shi family. After the annexation of Wujun Huiji, Sun Ce did not immediately repair the relationship with the Shi family and stabilize his position. On the contrary, he continued to conquer, and took the opportunity to continue to annex the Shijia tribe and attack the Shijia power.

As a result, the relationship between Sun Ce and the Shi family became more and more alienated.

Don't look at Sun Ce's many children of the Shi family, but in fact, he has not been recognized by the Shi family.

Sun Ce himself is an extremely proud person. If it were an ordinary person, he might bow his head. But for the Shi family, Sun Ce was always unwilling to give in.

Later generations often said that Cao Ying used a large number of Han scholars.

But in reality? Sun Ce also enabled many children from poor families. It's just that because he died early, it's not obvious.

Sun Ce's refusal to accept softness does not mean that he is not afraid of the Jiangdong family.

Xun Yan kept visiting Jiangdong Shi's house, even if Sun Ce was generous, he would be suspicious.

But he couldn't stop Xun Yan's actions, so he could only watch. As time passed, Sun Ce's suspicion would become stronger and stronger...... In the end, there will inevitably be a violent conflict with the Jiangdong family. This is a conspiracy, even if Sun Ce knows it in his heart, he is helpless. Can't you kill Xun Yan? In that way, not only would it offend Cao Ying, but it might even cause hatred of the world's corporal clan towards the Sun family. You must know that Yingchuan Xun's is not a Youheng, and even Bian Rang can be compared.

The influence of the Xun family in Shilin is so great that ordinary people can't imagine it.

Cao Peng opened and admired the people who designed this plan!

This person has a very accurate grasp of the psychology of a normal person. It's not so much a discord as it is a psychological war.

And it's psychological warfare that you know is ingenious, but you can't do anything about it.

However, what Cao Peng is thinking about now is not who designed this plan. There were indeed many masters of psychological warfare during the Three Kingdoms period.

Not to mention Cao Wei's Jia Xu and Sima Yi; or Lu Meng and Lu Xun of Eastern Wu; and the Shu Han Zhuge Liang, who doesn't know if he really used the empty city plan (if the empty city plan is true, then Zhuge Liang is undoubtedly also a master of psychological warfare), are good at using psychological warfare.

But for now, there are only two people under Cao Ying's account who can devise such a scheme.

It's not Xun Yu, it's Guo Jia.

So Cao Peng doesn't need to spend too much thought on this.

What he was thinking about at the moment was what Huang Yueying had just said. If you don't take advantage of Huang Chengyan to propose marriage while he is still in Wu County, then when Huang Chengyan returns to Jiangxia, it will be troublesome to propose again. Proposing relatives is a science. In a famous family like Huang Chengyan, the person who proposes the marriage must have the same status, and no matter how bad it is, it can't be too different. Therefore, Cao Peng thought about it, and thought of Xun Yan.

The name of the Yingchuan Xun clan is a hundred times stronger than the Jiangxia Huang clan.

And Xun Yan's reputation seems to be higher than Huang Chengyan...... If Xun Yan can be invited to come forward, presumably Huang Chengyan will also have to consider it seriously.

The question is, can Xun Yan agree?

Cao Peng was also a little unsure, so he sat in the room, stunned.

After a while, he took out a stack of pale green Zuobo paper from the box in his hand, and carefully observed it in the candlelight.

He always felt that there seemed to be a secret hidden in this Zuo Bo paper.

After a while, Cao Peng suddenly got up and put the paper away.

He hurried to the porter's room, and saw Kan Ze sitting on the floor, smirking from time to time at a huge wooden box.

Suddenly, he took out a book and rubbed it gently.

Suddenly, he put the scroll under his nose again, closed his eyes and sniffed, with a satisfied expression on his face.

This guy is really a bookworm.

"Brother Kan!"

"Ah......" Kan Ze was startled, hurriedly put the book into the wooden box, and turned back vigilantly.

"Ah Fu, if you don't go to rest, what's the matter?"

"I want to ask, do you know a person named Li Jing?"

Kan Ze was stunned for a moment, "Do you mean that last year's filial piety and honesty in Huiji County, Li Jing and Li Yifeng?" ”

"Exactly."

"I know this person, but I haven't touched him. He and I are fellow villagers, but we don't know each other very well...... However, I know that when Li Jing was first in Huiji, his behavior was not very good. It's a bit greedy for money, and it's also a little. This man can write well and is good at imitation. No matter what kind of person's handwriting it is, if he imitates it sometimes, he can learn it all the time.

For this reason, that guy was appreciated by Wang Lang, and he also served as the chief bookkeeper of Huiji County for a while. Later, Wang Lang was defeated, and Li Jing was afraid of being implicated, so he moved from Huiji to Wu County. He is still good at learning, but his virtue is too poor...... By the way, why did you suddenly inquire about this person? ”

Cao Peng hesitated for a moment and said softly: "Li Jing is dead!" ”

"Huh?"

Kan Ze was on duty at the post station today and didn't go out, so he didn't know much about what was happening outside.

In fact, if a small person like Li Jing was killed, even if he went out, he might not be able to know. If Cao Peng hadn't heard it by chance in the wine shop today and had the intention of buying a book, I'm afraid he wouldn't have paid attention. Kan Ze looked at Cao Peng, and then at the scroll in front of him.

"Ah Fu, these books ......"

"Well, I bought it from the Li family."

Kan Ze was excited, and hurriedly put the scroll back in the box.

"You guy, why don't you make it clear to me?"

"What's wrong?"

"This thing, bad luck."

Kan Ze said, taking out a box from under the bed, and there were some pu leaves on the façade.

"I usually keep this thing there just to get rid of bad luck. I didn't expect to use it today. ”

As he spoke, Kan Ze first took out two pu leaves, dipped them in water, washed his hands, and then sealed the bookbox, cleaned it a few times with the pu leaves, and respectfully placed the pu leaves on the bookcase.

Subsequently, Kan Ze breathed a sigh of relief.

"I'm glad you said it early, otherwise I would have been out of luck.

Let's deal with it like this first, and tomorrow I'll ask for some talismans and stick them on the bookcase, and it will take three days and three nights to completely get rid of the bad luck on it. ”

Chu people are good ghosts and gods, and Chu Ci is full of a large number of witch culture.

So Cao Peng didn't care much about Kan Ze's move. His gaze fell on a branch next to Kan Ze's bed.

There are several red beans hanging from the branches, and the colors are particularly bright.

"Ah Fu, how did Li Jing die? I saw him swaggering through the market yesterday in his bright clothes, and this guy doesn't look like a short-lived man. ”

"Well, I ......" Cao Peng came back to his senses and organized the language: "I also occasionally heard people talk about it today, saying that Li Jing is dead and his wife is selling her property. I knew that Brother Kan was a good book, so I moved my mind and went over to buy Li Jing's collection of books.

But ......"

"But how?"

"I don't think Li Jing is a tyrant."

Kan Ze was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help laughing: "Ah Fu, how old are you, and how do you know that he is not a tyrant?" ”

"I've seen his body...... On the surface, there doesn't seem to be a problem. I noticed, however, that his lips were slightly black, and that his expression was serene. Generally speaking, if it is a violent pawn, there will inevitably be a struggle, but from the corpse, there is no trace of Li Jing's pain before he died. I think he probably died of poisoning, but I don't know what poison it was. ”

"The ...... of the government"

"The government said he was a thug, which made me feel even more weird.

With such an obvious loophole, even I can see that the people in the government actually turn a blind eye. Moreover, Mrs. Li doesn't seem to have any opinions, the body here has not been buried, and she is in a hurry to sell her property and prepare to return to her hometown...... I always felt that Mrs. Li was warned by something, so she behaved like this. Anyway, I thought it was weird, so I asked. ”

Kan Ze was silent.

After a moment, he raised his head and said softly, "Ah Fu, do you believe me?" ”

Cao Peng was stunned, nodded and replied, "Where did Brother Kan start with this?" If I hadn't believed you, I wouldn't have said so much to you. ”

"Leave it alone."

"Huh?"

"The government can blatantly ignore the loopholes and judge Li Jing as a violent pawn; Before Li Jing's bones were cold, Mrs. Li hurriedly wanted to leave. There's definitely something weird about it, but it's definitely not you and I who can't interfere. I also know that you have what it takes, but sometimes you and I have to learn to pretend to be deaf and dumb. Even the county government of Wuxian County can suppress it, if there is really someone behind the scenes, it is definitely not you and I who can fight against it...... You told me that more is better than less, and that makes sense. Leave this alone, or you and I might be in trouble. ”

Cao Peng was silent...... Kan Ze's words were serious.

He could feel Kan Ze's kindness. In my previous life, some people persuaded themselves like this, but what was the result? He didn't listen, and in the end, his family was ruined.

Thinking of this, Cao Peng suddenly felt very aggrieved in his heart.

"Brother Kan, I'm tired."

"Then take a good rest, don't you still want to go to Huating with Mr. Xun? Go to bed early, and I'll tell you if anything. ”

Cao Peng nodded, and when he was leaving, he was going to leave the red bean that was inserted next to the bed.

Looking at Cao Peng's back, Kan Ze stood on the porch, showing a thoughtful expression...... After a long time, he sighed and returned to the house.
