Chapter 275 The Third Murder Case(1/3)
Three hundred black spirits, like wolves and tigers.
In the dead of night, Gan Ning, Hao Zhao, and Xia Houlan each brought one hundred black men. According to the list provided by Miao Xu, they broke into houses and arrested those who woke up from their sleep and did not know what had happened.
, tied with ropes and thrown into prison.
The Northern Lieutenant of Luoyang finally took action five days after arriving in Luoyang.
That night, the entire northern city of Luoyang fell into panic. Cries, noises, and shouts continued for a full hour.
When Heijian arrived in Luoyang, many people had already guessed that Cao Peng would take action.
But no one expected that Cao Peng's attack would be so fierce and fierce, and no news spread at all.
As soon as the black spirit arrives, it immediately takes action.
It also shows the toughness and decisiveness of Cao Peng's methods.
That night, people in Luoyang North City were in panic...
"Master Hou, we can't wait any longer!"
In a remote house in Beicheng, Chen Bodao stood outside the door, his hands hanging down, "Since that little thief Cao has taken action, he will definitely not let it go. If he doesn't leave, I'm afraid he will come to the door sooner or later. Things will change then."
The situation is getting more serious, please make a decision as soon as possible."
"I have long said, don't kill people, don't kill people...
Although murder can silence people, it will make more and more flaws, let alone a dignified court official. If you kill one person, there will be a second person, a third person... In the end, it can only be out of control. But there is no
If people are willing to listen...what's the use of being impatient now?"
Chen Shao lowered his head, not knowing how to answer.
After a while, the person in the room spoke again: "I will find a way to solve this matter.
I will first ask Mr. Su to try to send you away and transport your things out. As for all the people in Luoyang, they must be evacuated.
From now on, Luoyang Market is abandoned and cannot be used again... I will arrange a new place as soon as possible, and you should be more careful when the time comes. Also, tell Mr. Xuande that everything we can do has been done...
Now that the old thief Cao has realized it, I am afraid that we will not be able to give him enough support in a short period of time. For the sake of His Majesty's safety, we will not provide any more weapons before the end of the year. Please take care of him."
Chen Shao bowed and said: "I understand, I understand."
"Okay, you go down first."
After Chen Shao retreated, the door opened.
From the door, a young man in white walked out and stood on the porch with his hands behind his hands.
A middle-aged man with fair face and beard followed closely behind the young man, "Master Hou, the situation is not good, we'd better leave as soon as possible."
"Um!"
"Over there with the Chief Yue..."
"Commander Yue, please try your best to preserve it."
The young man thought for a while and said, "After all, she has sacrificed so much for His Majesty and endured a lot of hardships. She can't just give up. Besides, His Majesty is also very fond of her. If he can take her back, he should try to take her with him."
Go back. When you get to the palace, you will naturally be safe.
However, under the current situation, it is difficult to say that she can be taken away safely.
If you can't do it, just tell her to shut up! Father, you can make your own decision on this matter, and come back as soon as possible after handling the matter."
"My slave understands."
Chang Shi was one of the fourteenth-ranking female officials in the Han Palace. She ranked tenth above the five sense organs. She was ranked higher than the five officials and received a salary of six hundred dan.
After the middle-aged man obeyed the order, he ducked away.
His footsteps were light and he seemed to not touch the ground, and he disappeared in the blink of an eye.
The young man stood on the porch, rubbed his brows, and sighed in a rather depressed tone, "I originally wanted to be a friend with you, but I didn't want to, and ended up becoming an enemy...Cao Youxue, Cao Youxue, let's see what you can do.
Everything I can do has been done!"
After sighing, the young man turned around and disappeared into the house.
The candlelight in the room flickered and then went out, causing the room to plunge into darkness.
Just as Cao Peng had guessed, Miao Xu listed eighteen people, but only sixteen were caught.
Li Zhong and a servant named Wang Er disappeared the day after the fire in Wei Mansion... According to their families, these two people have never returned home, and their lives and deaths are unknown now. According to Li Zhong's family,
Under the water tank, a large bag of copper coins was found, about fifty guan, more than 40,000 yuan. Presumably, this was the reward for burning the treasury. It is even possible that this was only part of the total reward.
According to the confessions of the captured slaves, Li Zhong and Wang Er were the masterminds of this incident.
Someone paid money and asked them to try to transport the items in the treasury from the Northern Wei Mansion... At that time, Zhu Zan was killed, and the Northern Wei Mansion was nothing more than scattered sand. So many people started to think about it. King Li Zhong started on the 2nd day.
Someone immediately agreed. Each of the sixteen slaves had received the benefit of a constant amount of money, so they naturally tried to cooperate. They didn't need to do anything, they just needed to turn a blind eye or close an eye when they were on duty.
Later, when Cao Peng took office, these servants panicked.
It was Li Zhong who came forward again and set fire to the warehouse, claiming to the outside world that the facade was just some debris...
Afterwards, Li, Zhong and Wang never appeared again.
"Sir, please report to County Magistrate Chen to impose martial law throughout the city and conduct house-to-house searches."
Xia Houlan proposed a strategy, but Cao Peng shook his head and rejected it.
Kan Ze smiled and said: "What are you searching for? If I were those people, I would definitely kill people and silence them.
They dared to kill even Zhu Beibei, let alone two little slaves? If we search now, they probably won't even find the bones."
"What should we do?"
"What should I do?" Kan Ze said, "Wait!"
"wait?"
"What the young master did today can be called a warning to the enemy.
Those slaves are grass, and the people behind them are snakes... To catch snakes, you need to lure them out of the hole. First make them panic, and then wait for an opportunity. When they come out of the hole, we will capture them in one fell swoop.
Let’s see what they say about both the stolen goods and the gains.”
Xia Houlan suddenly understood and nodded repeatedly.
"What about these slaves?"
Cao Peng frowned and said in a deep voice: "This matter can be big or small, but it cannot last long.
He will be imprisoned first, and then he will be punished after the matter is over. Anyway, there are places that need repairing everywhere in Luoyang City, and some of them have to work hard."
"That's right."
Cao Peng stood up and stretched.
"You guys were busy all night last night and are all tired.
I'm going to find County Magistrate Chen. Let's all go down and have a rest first... The eldest brother will stay in the government hall. If anything happens, he can handle it as appropriate. The three of you will be divided into three shifts and take turns to be on duty. I estimate that it won't be long before the other party takes action.
And be prepared to attack at any time."
"Here!"
Everyone stood up and bowed to take orders.
Cao Peng explained the situation to Zhang and Huang Yueying, then changed his clothes and left the Northern Wei Mansion with ten Fei Qi as guards.
However, as soon as he went out, he saw Xuan Shuo running over in a hurry.
"Cao Beibei, stay."
"Mr. Xuan Shuo, why are you here?"
Xuan Shuo bowed his hands and gasped slightly.
He sighed and said a little tiredly: "I've heard about Cao Beibei."
"oh?"
"Xuelian is dead, Chizhong is also dead..."
"kindness."
"Originally I planned to come here yesterday, but it was getting too late, so... I came here today because I have something to tell Beibu."
"What's up?"
"Northern China, do you still remember when I sat down with the young novice Mo Yan?"
Cao Peng closed his eyes slightly, pondered for a moment and then nodded, "Mr. Xuan Shuo said, but that was the young novice who was holding the harp on the translation table that day?"
"Exactly."
"What's up with him?"
Xuan Shuo replied: "Since yesterday, the common people have not seen Mo Yan.
I originally thought that the child was playful, but it was unexpected. He didn't come back all night last night. In addition, with so many things happening, the common people were also a little worried, afraid that something might happen to Mo Yan. So they came here early in the morning to invite Cao Cao.
