Chapter 266(2/2)
"Brother Chen, which song are you singing?"
Chen Qun said: "I know you are studying now. It is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to become a disciple of Mr. Kong Ming. However, I asked Sikong to let you come and help. It is really a big sin to disturb your studies. Why?
Brother, I had no choice but to do it..."
"Brother Chen, what are you talking about?"
Cao Peng's face darkened, "It's only natural to eat your salary and share your worries. Besides, even if you don't look for me, if my fourth brother died in such a strange way, I will definitely come out to find out... But it was your recommendation.
Me? How did I hear that it was Guo Jijiu?"
Chen Qun smiled and said: "Fengxiao also likes you to serve as the Northern Lieutenant. So after I proposed it to Sikong, Fengxiao immediately expressed his approval."
"why me?"
Chen Qun came over and sat down next to Cao Peng.
"Others don't know your abilities, but I do.
When you were in Haixi, you peeled off the cocoon and pulled out the silk, and found out the mystery of Haixi, I knew your ability clearly. To be honest, I was a little worried when Cao Gong asked me to take over the Luoyang Order. Zhu Gongzuo left strangely,
Moreover, there seems to be a big secret hidden in Luoyang City. When I checked the documents in Sikong Mansion, I felt that the death of Gongzuo was definitely not a personal vendetta. I am afraid there is another hidden reason. Although Wen Ruo and others recommended me,
But I know that this is not what I am good at and I need someone to help me, so I thought of you."
"Do you also think that my fourth brother passed away strangely?"
Chen Qun nodded, "It's very strange."
"How to say?"
"I have been in Luoyang for three days and I have done almost nothing. Apart from ordering martial law at the city gates, I spent most of my time reading documents.
Before Zhu Gongzuo died, he blocked the Luoshui River and said he was looking for some corpse? Does this matter have anything to do with you? "
Cao Peng got excited, shuddered, and nodded.
He repeated what happened that night. Strangely enough, after three and a half months, the case that happened that night seemed to be clearer. Cao Peng spoke in great detail, and Chen Qun listened very carefully.
After Cao Peng finished speaking, he lowered his head and said nothing. After thinking for a long time, he said: "Ah Fu, what you are talking about is indeed a bit strange... Before Zhu Gongzu died, he transferred all the documents from the county government and didn't know who he was.
What exactly are you looking for? I think there is some connection between them?"
"Hard to say!"
Cao Peng thought for a while, "I don't know the specific situation yet, so it's hard to draw a conclusion."
"Ah Fu, you must help me this time." Chen Qun sighed and patted Cao Peng on the shoulder, "After I came to Luoyang, I realized that Luoyang City is extremely complicated. All forces are intertwined.
I also don’t know how to start..."
At this moment, I heard a burst of noise outside the door.
Chen Qun couldn't help but frown, and a hint of anger appeared on his delicate cheeks.
He stood up, strode out of the flower hall, and shouted sternly: "Who is making a noise here?"
An old housekeeper looked panicked and walked forward quickly.
"Master, something bad is going on."
"What's up?"
"Northern Lieutenant, the Northern Lieutenant's office is compromised."
"ah?"
After Chen Qun heard this, he couldn't help being shocked, "You say it again?"
"The Northern Wei Yamen is in trouble..."
Chen Qun's cheek twitched and he turned around.
Cao Peng listened very clearly inside, and his eyes could not help but narrow into slits. He walked up to Chen Qun and tugged on Chen Qun's sleeve.
"Brother Chen, let's go over and take a look."
"good!"
Chen Qun immediately ordered his men to prepare their horses, and Cao Peng took Guo Huan and Bu Luan out of the gate of Luoyang Lingfu. Standing on the doorstep, he saw thick smoke billowing in the distance and faint shouts.
Xia Houlan stepped forward and was about to speak, but Cao Peng waved his hand to stop him.
"Ziyou, it seems like someone wants me to look good."
"Sir, what should we do?"
"Don't worry, go over and check the situation first."
After that, Cao Peng got on his horse, and Chen Qun also rode over at this time. Neither of them said a word, they just nodded, turned their horses, and headed to Wei Yamen in the north.
While walking, Chen Qun asked: "Ah Fu, who is so bold?"
"I don't know who is so bold, but I know that someone must be unable to sit still."
"oh?"
"If you don't have a fever in the morning, you won't have a fever in the evening..." Cao Peng sneered, "It's too coincidental that I entered the city with my front foot, and left the Wei Yamen in the north with my back foot. However, this also shows that some people are feeling weak.
.Otherwise, you wouldn’t have used such lame means to intimidate me.”
"Aren't you angry?"
Cao Peng didn't answer, and looked extremely calm.
In the front hall of Wei Yamen in the north, thick smoke billowed.
The servants of the government office ran around shouting and carrying buckets to put out the fire. When Chen Qun and Cao Peng arrived outside the government office, the fire had basically been brought under control.
"It was water leakage in the warehouse, probably caused by carelessness."
A servant came over to report, and Chen Qun couldn't help but became furious.
"Is it only the warehouse that has leaked?"
"yes."
Cao Peng nodded, got off his horse and walked up the doorstep.
When he stood at the gate of the Northern Wei Yatang, he suddenly felt endless emotions.
Three and a half months ago, he and Zhu Zan walked into the Northern Wei Yatang together, chatting and laughing. At that time, Zhu Zan's wife and children came out to greet him, and he even teased the baby for a while. Who would have known that it was only three and a half months ago that the baby in the northern part of Luoyang
Wei Yatang, things and people have changed...
"Brother Chen, where are my fourth sister-in-law and my nephew now?"
"Gong Zuo's wife and children have returned to Xudu and are now living in Zidan's mansion..."
"That's good, at least it won't scare my sister-in-law and nephew. Otherwise, I will feel even more guilty."
Cao Peng said softly as he arrived in front of the warehouse.
Thick smoke was still rising from the warehouse, and the air was filled with a choking smell. The huge warehouse was not completely burned, only a small part was burned black. Cao Peng frowned, covered his nose and walked over, wandering in the mess.
After a moment, his face became colder and colder.
"How about Cao Beibei?"
In front of outsiders, Chen Qun would still address Cao Peng according to etiquette.
Cao Peng sneered and said: "This is not a leak, but someone deliberately set a fire... Come, please immediately check the damage to the warehouse and report it to me as soon as possible."
After speaking, he walked to Chen Qun and remained silent.
"What are you going to do?" Chen Qun also looked solemn.
