Chapter 040: Carefully Planned

Give a collection.,Thank you.,Another recent Saturday and Sunday stop for two days.,To accompany the child.,Thank you for your understanding.

Chen Cao didn't pay attention to Li Tong's shouting of grievances, just stared at the head catcher and said: "You are not even a servant if you are serious, you can only be a helper, just let you go, go back and tell your master, there is no big thing not to provoke this official, Jinyiwei is not easy to bully." ”

The head catcher was like an amnesty, and hurriedly saluted Chen Cao, and then left with someone as if he were fleeing, leaving Li Tong still kneeling outside the door.

"If you don't answer again, not only will you not be able to do this inspection, but your family will also be implicated." Zhao Xin scolded sharply.

Frightened by Zhao Xin, Li Tong trembled and said: "Your Excellency, the lower official is telling the truth, the lower official just got the order of the county order, and asked the lower official to help arrest the troublemaker, the lower official does not know that the adult is here, and please let the adult know." ”

"Who is the magistrate of Ziyang County?" Chen Cao whispered.

Zhao Xin turned around and said: "Lord Hui, Zhou De, the magistrate of Ziyang County, has been a jinshi for thirty years in Wanli, and has been a magistrate in Ziyang County for six years, and his wife Kong is a member of the Qufu Kong family. ”

"Oh..."Chen Cao suddenly realized, and then stared at Li Daodao: "Is there a person named Kong Tianxi who went to the county government to report the case today?" ”

Li Tong didn't know, he really didn't know, his inspection department Yamen was stationed by the city wall, far away, he was just notified to arrest people, and other things were really unclear.

"Xia Guan really doesn't know."

Chen Cao felt bored, and then waved his hand, Zhao Xin understood, turned around and said sharply: "Li Tong, you leave quickly, let you go today, it's best to be careful, if he offends us again in the future, you know the means of my Jinyiwei." ”

"Lord Xie... Master Xie..."Li Tong kowtowed a few times, then got up and left with a disgraced face.

As soon as the people left, the turtle man came to the door and arched his hand towards Chen Cao: "I don't know if it's the adult of Jinyiwei coming, it's really not well entertained. ”

"Turtle Gong, this official asks you, do you know Kong Tianxi?" Chen Cao asked.

Gui Gong said: "Hey, who doesn't recognize him, he is the third housekeeper of the Yansheng family, and he is in charge of the affairs of the Kong family in Fucheng." He said and said: "It's just that adults don't know, the housekeeper is very horizontal in Fucheng, hehe, it's inconvenient to say something small." ”

"It's inconvenient to say it, forget it, the official can understand, go down."

Zhao Xin leaned next to Chen Cao: "My lord, isn't that guy going to do it?" ”

"I have to guard against..."Chen Cao frowned: "It's important that we go to buy land as soon as possible, and leave after buying, I think it's not peaceful here, so it's better to cause less trouble." ”

...

Chen Cao and his party were about to leave after lunch, and when they were about to set off, they heard a burst of neat footsteps, and from time to time there were generals on horseback with a large group of soldiers coming towards Lixianglou.

It was the first time for the people around them to see this kind of battle, and they didn't know what was happening.

"My lord, we are surrounded." Xu Kaixian walked in from outside the door solemnly: "It's Yanzhou Mansion Ren Chengwei..."

Ren Chengwei commanded Tongzhi Wang Tiancheng to personally go out and drive into the city with two soldiers from hundreds of households, and surrounded Lixianglou, accompanied by Zheng Rixin, the capital of Yanzhou.

Chen Cao stepped out of the gate and saw a group of soldiers wearing armor, spears and knives flashing with reflections, and even more than a dozen archers with bows and arrows.

"Come on, arrest all the murderers in front of you who pretend to be Jinyi Wei and bring them back to justice." Wang Tiancheng said coldly.

Chen Cao was shocked in his heart, thinking that the other party really had a lot of means, and then said: "You guys are so bold, this official is the commander of Jinyi Weinan Zhenfu Division and the same knowledge Chen Cao, you are acting so boldly, do you want to rebel?" ”

"Hahaha..."Wang Tiancheng was not afraid at all: "You impostors, you dare to pretend to be Jinyi Guards when you kill someone, give you another chance, put down the knife in your hand and arrest it, otherwise, kill on the spot." ”

As soon as the words fell, those archers opened their bows and arrows one after another, no matter how powerful Chen Cao was, he didn't dare to hold it up in front of the archers, and now it seems that the other party is indeed prepared.

Chen Cao turned his head and whispered to Zhao Xin: "You leave from the back immediately, go to the ferry quickly, take people to the mansion, and I'll go with them first to see what they want to do." ”

"Be careful, sir."

Chen Cao walked down the steps and scolded sharply: "Wait a minute, this official has already reported to his family, if you frame this official for some transaction, hehe, I want you to go around." ”

Wang Tiancheng was just stunned for a moment, and then sneered: "Hahaha, you are waiting for the horse thief, you are really bold, not to mention killing the inspection of Ziyang County, and pretending to be a Jinyi guard here, you wait to follow Lord Zheng back and explain well, maybe you can be lenient." ”

"Li Tong is dead?" Chen Cao was shocked, there were many onlookers, most of them knew that Li Tong entered Lixiang Building and then went out, and now that he is dead, he may not be able to get out of it.

Xu Kai was particular about people at first, and when he heard that Li Tong was dead, he knew that things were not good, so he stepped forward and whispered: "My lord, my subordinates are covering you to leave, if you enter the mansion, you can't say anything big." ”

"Thief, don't hurry up and take it, the archers prepare." Wang Tiancheng shouted again.

Chen Cao understands now, the opponent is determined to take his own life, as soon as Li Tong dies, he can't tell 100%, this is not Nanzhili Jinling, this cross-river dragon can't stop Wang Tiancheng, the head snake, Xu Kaixian said well, if you tie your hands and arrest yourself, if you don't do it, you will die in the government, everyone is an official, who doesn't understand those little Jiujiu?

Chen Cao already had a plan, and then arched his hand towards Wang Tiancheng: "This lord, I still have more than a dozen subordinates in me, they don't know, I have to go in and persuade them, so as not to add trouble to the adults." ”

Wang Tiancheng thought for a while, and then waved his hand: "Don't try to escape, the entire Lixiang Building has been surrounded by the generals, if you dare to run, you will be killed." ”

Chen ** entered the Lixiang Building with a face, Zhao Xin had already taken off his makeup from the back door, and he looked around now, except for Xu Kai, there were only eleven captains, and the weapon was only an embroidered spring knife, and the key was that he didn't have anything in his hand.

"My lord, what should I do?" Xu Kai stepped forward first and pulled out the embroidered spring knife: "Otherwise, my subordinates will cover the evacuation of the adults from the back door." ”

Chen Cao turned his head to look at the old bustard hiding not far away, then stepped forward and arched his hand: "Good to teach the boss to know, this official is Jinling Nalan Rongruo, please ask the boss to point out a secret road to go out, he will definitely come to your Lixiang Building one day to repay the favor." ”

"Are you Nalan Rongruo?" The old bustard looked at Chen Cao with a surprised expression: "Then what's your name?" ”

"This official Jinyi Weinan Town Fu Si commands the same knowledge Chen Cao, Jinling Nalan Rong Ruo also..."

The old bustard has to believe it if he doesn't believe it, who will pretend to be a literati at this critical juncture: "It turned out to be Mr. Nalan, it's easy to say, I can help you, but it's good..."

"This is for you..."Chen Cao took out a jade pendant from his arms, which was engraved with the words Nalan Rongruo: "Even if you come to Jinling to find me one day, as long as it is not a matter that hurts heaven and reason, this official can promise you." ”

The old bustard took the jade pendant, was stunned for a moment, and then said to the turtle beside him: "Take them through the secret passage." ”

Chen Cao and the others left, and the old bustard hurriedly shouted loudly: "Come on, rob people... Lord, they ran away..."

When Wang Tiancheng heard this, he immediately sent someone into the building, only to see the old bustard messing up his hair and running out of the gate, pulling Wang Tiancheng's feet and saying: "This lord, you want to catch them, my Lixiang Building is the property of Lord Lu, you let go of the horse thief, and you can't afford to pay for the big loss..."

Wang Tiancheng didn't know the background of this Lixiang Building, and when he saw the old bustard's words, he was also anxious at the moment, not only because of King Lu, but also because of the cause of this incident, Chen Cao couldn't run: "Come on, quickly go to the barracks to transfer troops and arrest this group of thieves, and also, go and pass the word to the commander, just say that there are horse thieves who have entered the city and blocked the city gate to arrest people." ”

"Yes..."

Wen Liang walked into the palace with an anxious face, and Zhu Shouhong was washing his feet: "Lord, the big thing is not good..."

"What kind of system is it that is panicked, speak..."

"Lord Qiqi, just now someone came to report that Chen Cao killed Li Tong, the inspector of the Inspection Division, and absconded, and at this time Ren Chengwei has closed the city gate and searched for it."

Zhu Shouhong opened his eyes: "What crime?" ”

"Ren Chengwei said that they were horse thieves, and after killing people, they pretended to be Jinyi guards..."Wen Liang replied.

Zhu Shouhong asked, "What do you think?" ”

Wen Liangning calmed down, and then said: "Lord Wang, Chen Cao's identity is undoubted, even if he kills Li Tongna, there is a way to prevaricate the past, but now Ren Chengwei is vigorously searching for his people, and even the prefect's yamen is also cooperating, presumably he must have offended people, judging from the following officials, it should be a big man with a head and face in the Yanzhou territory who is rectifying him." ”

"And who do you think it is?"

Wen Liang thought for a while: "The people in Yanzhou Mansion are all the clansmen of the prince's family, if it is to rectify Chen Cao, you should send news to the palace, but now that I think about it, there is only the Qufu family." ”

Zhu Shouhong opened his eyes, and then said coldly: "Impartiality, no help, no bad thing..."

Wen Liang was stunned for a moment, feeling that the prince wanted to watch the fire from the other side: "Yes, the lower official understands..."

...

Ziyang County and Yanzhou Mansion are governed by the same city, the city is very large, Lu Wangfu lives in the city, and the surrounding streets are rich and powerful businessmen, Lixianglou is in the East Street of Lu Wangfu, Chen Cao and other people were taken out of the secret passage by the turtle Gong and then quickly bypassed the East Back Street, ready to withdraw towards the East Gate.

"My lord, there are all soldiers in front." A lieutenant came running quickly.

"My lord, if you don't go to the Lu Palace, you can find that long history, after all, we still have the documents signed by the palace in our hands." Xu Kai said.

Chen Cao looked around, this escape, and in the city, he used to just see how others escaped in the city, but now it happened in his own hands: "Let the city guards dispatch, the eyes of King Lu's Mansion must know, this big move, the Mansion is also there, I think it must be the Kong family, you go to King Lu now, hey, I can't say that I will be sold by them, and give the Kong family a favor." ”

"My lord, my subordinates know that they are wrong." Xu Kaixian looked apologetic.

Chen Cao turned his head and was curious: "What's wrong?" ”

"Lao Zhao's actions, his subordinates should stop them, if not, then Kong Tianxi may not be unfavorable to us." Xu Kaixian looked at Chen Cao as he spoke: "My lord, it's better for you and me to change our clothes, you go first, and my subordinates will take my brothers to cover the adult's evacuation." ”

"Joke..."Chen Cao smiled evilly: "When will you and I be greedy for life and afraid of death?" That Kong Tianxi must have made up his mind to rectify us from the beginning, otherwise he would not have taken the initiative to come to the door, you look at today's battle, hehe. ”

"My lord, a soldier is coming, go quickly." A lieutenant who let off the wind hurried over.

Chen Cao led people around the back street and turned into a street with fewer pedestrians, although there were few people, but the discerning person could see that the residents on this street were either rich or expensive.

"My lord, there is a dead end ahead, and there is a fence blocking the way." The captain who was exploring the path rushed to him.

"My lord, there are soldiers coming from behind."

Xu Kaixian pulled out the embroidered spring knife, ready to fight, Chen Cao looked at the stone lion on the right front side, and immediately had a plan, pointed to the door and said, "Go to that family's house." ”

In the Ming Dynasty, only the officials and nobles were qualified to put the beasts at the gate, and no matter how rich they were, they were not allowed to put things, Chen Cao wanted to bring people into this house by himself, and the soldiers would definitely not dare to go in to search for them, and they could easily escape a catastrophe.

The inscription on the door plaque reads 'Weng Mansion', and even if you don't know it, with the stone lion at the door, it is also a place where you can temporarily avoid difficulties.

A group of people walked to the back wall of the side gate of Weng's mansion, there was a small bamboo forest here, just blocking the street, Chen Cao rushed forward, stretched out his hand against the wall, jumped up, and smoothly climbed over the wall into the courtyard.

The rest of the people followed, and after a short time they all entered, and at this moment they heard shouts outside and the sound of weapons clashing.

"My lord, it's a dead end over there."

"It's all rich people here, and there's no trace of it."

"Come on, all go out of Left Street, they must have run from there."

Call...

Chen Cao let out a sigh of relief, he had never felt so nervous when he was fighting against Tartar in Liaodong.

I looked around immediately, and then I realized that the place where I came in over the wall seemed to be the family's garden, and there was a bamboo forest in front of me, and I thought that my group was behind the bamboo forest.

"You go and investigate," Xu Kai first instructed a lieutenant to act, and then leaned over to Chen Cao's side and whispered, "My lord, what should I do now?" ”

Chen Cao frowned: "What I'm most worried about now is that Zhao Xin's husband rushed to the mansion with a musket team and couldn't find anyone to move. ”

Xu Kaixian also frowned when he heard this, he didn't have any idea what to do now.

"My lord," the inquiring lieutenant tiptoed through the bamboo forest, "This is the family's garden, it's a little big, it's safe for us to hide here, and there's no one outside." ”

Chen Cao let out a sigh of relief, thinking that he couldn't hide here all the time like this, so he immediately said, "You all stay here, I'll go out and investigate." ”

Chen Cao also walked out of the bamboo forest like a thief, thinking that he had stumbled into Li Wan'er's bath room in Liaodong before, and he didn't dare to enter a room casually at the moment, so he walked towards the left side of the garden.

Most of the buildings of the Ming Dynasty have certain regulations, and there is a sharp contrast between the small jasper in the south and the atmosphere in the north, but the architectural pattern is similar.

At the end of the left side of the garden is a bucket arch, which is generally behind the gate in the north is the backyard, which is equivalent to the place where the female dependents live.

Sure enough, as soon as Chen Cao walked through the archway, he saw two maidservants standing on both sides of the aisle, which frightened Chen Cao and leaned against the wall to pant for breath.

Then Chen Cao was very skillful in climbing over the low wall, bypassing the two maidservants, and walking forward lightly, who knew that the right aisle suddenly turned out of two maidservants with things, walking towards him, Chen Cao was shocked, and immediately ran towards a room not far ahead.

Just in front of the door, the door suddenly opened, Chen Cao couldn't brake, and hit the person who opened the door and stood at the door, both of them fell to the ground, and Chen Cao also pressed on each other's bodies.

It's fragrant...

Chen Cao fixed his eyes and saw that under him was a woman covered in snow white and wearing a pink tulle.

The woman under him was about to let out a loud scream, Chen Cao covered the woman's mouth with his hand, and took advantage of the moment when he was about to hold back to stop the woman's neck with his left hand, and the two of them stood up together, and then closed the door with a right kick.

This technique is not a very skilled person who picks flowers, and I am afraid that it will not be able to do it.

"Don't be afraid, the girl has no malice, and please don't make a sound..."

Looming...

The woman's face was flushed, Chen Cao opened her hand easily, who knew that the woman scolded: "Lewd-thief, you still watch..."

Chen Cao realized that he was rude, and quickly turned around, the woman shouted again, Chen Cao couldn't help but step forward and forced the woman into a corner, and then covered the woman's mouth again.

"Don't be afraid, girl, I'm not a flower thief, because I hid in because of an urgent matter, and I asked the girl to make it convenient, he will repay the favor if he has a result."

The woman shook her head vigorously, and then signaled that she wanted to speak, Chen Cao gently opened her mouth, for fear that the woman would shout again, and there was a shout outside the door at this time.

"Miss, miss, are you alright?"

The woman looked Chen Cao up and down, and saw that Chen Cao was talented, and he was powerful, and after carefully looking at Chen Cao's hand, she said: "I'm fine, you put your clothes by the door, wait for me to wash and put them on yourself, you go down first." ”

"Yes..."

Chen Cao breathed a sigh of relief and hugged his fist towards the woman: "It's rude..."

Chen Cao, who turned around, heard a sound, and heard the woman say, "Are you an official?" ”

Chen Cao was surprised, turned his head and saw that the woman had already put on a robe in a pink tulle jacket, covering the vital points of her body, and immediately stepped forward to salute again: "How does the girl know that she is an official below?" ”

"Who dares to wear official boots if they are not officials?" The woman pointed to Chen Cao's feet: "Be a soldier, there are still calluses on your hands..."

Chen Cao was shocked, although rich people are wearing official boots in this era, they are all in their own homes, who dares to swagger out in official boots? I didn't expect the woman in front of me to observe so meticulously: "Don't you think the girl is a flower thief?" ”

"Think?" The woman replied, then pointed to Chen Cao's face: "Your blood." ”

"Huh?" Chen Cao noticed his nosebleed at this time, and wiped it clean with his sleeve immediately: "It's out of shape..."

"But you-thief broke in while this girl was taking a bath, it's really too hateful, if you can't make a name for yourself today, this girl will definitely kill you." The woman said viciously, the same as the two of them just now.

Chen Cao took a step back, saluted the woman, and then said, "I'm really sorry to command Chen Cao, who commanded the Tongzhi Chen Cao in the town of Weinan Town, in Xia Jinyi, to take the liberty of breaking into the girl's room. ”

"Nalan Rongruo?" The woman screamed.

Chen Cao raised his eyebrows: "Does the girl know you?" ”

"I like you a lot..."

Chen Cao's eyes jumped, and he was about to speak, but he knew that the woman said again: "The article I wrote..."

Chen Cao smiled awkwardly: "The girl likes to pant when she speaks." ”

The woman blushed for a while, but then reacted again: "What is the evidence?" ”

Chen Cao was stunned for a moment, then reacted, took out his waist card and handed it over: "Girl, please take a look." ”

The woman looked at Chen Cao's waist card carefully, and then said with a happy face: "Is it really Nalan Rongruo?" Haha, I've seen a real person. ”

Chen Cao now understands that the woman in front of him is his fan sister.

The woman was stunned for a moment, and then said, "You are a high-ranking official of the Jinyi Guard, how can you be chased?" No, have you broken the law of the land? ”

Chen Cao told what happened to him in one breath, and the woman thought about it, and said: "You alone must not be able to believe all your words, for the sake of you Nalan Rongruo, I can take you in temporarily, but I have to inquire in person, if you lie to me, I will definitely peel off your skin." ”

The more Chen Cao listened, the more he felt that the woman in front of him had the same temper as Li Wan'er, so he laughed awkwardly at the moment, and then told the woman that he still had more than a dozen people in the bamboo forest.

The woman was very atmospheric, and immediately went out of the door to find someone to arrange.

"What is the name of the girl?"

Before going out, the woman said: "This girl will not change her name or change her surname, Weng Meixin is..."

"It's beautiful..."
