Xu Chu roared angrily, which frightened the little maid so much that she shivered.

Cao Peng looked at her quietly, then suddenly turned around after a while, "Sikong, I'd better ask someone to identify the origin of this woman first."

"Afu, what do you mean..."

"This woman must be a maid in the mansion, otherwise it is absolutely impossible for her to know about Xiaoyu pouring wine for Gao Sima. Also, please Sikong immediately send someone to search the mansion. I estimate that Xiaoyu may have been killed at this time. She is in the wine room.

You will definitely find corpses around."

Cao Cao quickly ordered, "Zhongkang, lead people to search immediately."

"Here!"

Xu Chu rushed out of the lobby without saying a word, walking as fast as flying.

"Who is it that wants to destroy Gao Sima's life?"

Cao Peng did not answer, but walked to the maid, squatted down, and groped on the body. She wanted to find some clues from the woman's body. However, there was no clue left on the woman. Short

The sword was named Fish Intestine, but it was not the fish intestine sword in history, but was specially made according to the style of the Fish Intestine Sword. As soon as Cao Peng stood up, he heard someone asking.

So he sneered, "Of course it's the result of someone who doesn't want my lord to achieve such great achievements."

His words made everyone in the lobby immediately shut up.

Don't you want Cao Cao to get such a great feat?

Opening up territory and expanding the territory is definitely an unparalleled achievement. Even the emperor is in favor of this. But there are some people who don't want this situation to happen, who? In the entire Xudu, if there are people who least want Cao Cao to become powerful, then I'm afraid

There was only one member of the imperial party. Cao Cao's face was uncertain, but he did not speak. His eyes swept over the bodies of several Han Dynasty veterans in the hall, making those people's faces suddenly turn pale as paper.

"Hey, isn't this the little confused boy from the Fifth Young Master's sect?"

When a retainer was cleaning up the mess, he accidentally saw the body of the maid lying in a pool of blood and said in surprise.

"What did you say?"

When Cao Cao heard this, he couldn't help being surprised and shouted sharply.

The retainer was so frightened that he knelt down and said, "Little man, little man, I mean... he looks a bit like a confused boy from the Fifth Young Master's sect."

"Look at it carefully for me."

The retainer walked to the body tremblingly.

He squatted on his bed, looked carefully, raised his head and said: "Sikong, it's Xiao Mulu. I've seen... the little Mulu who grinds ink for the Fifth Young Master on weekdays. We don't know what his original name is. But.

She is always confused and loses everything, so we call her Little Muddlehead. Yes, a villain will never admit his mistakes... If Sikong doesn't believe it, you can find someone to identify it."

Fifth Young Master, isn't that Cao Chong?

At this point, even Cao Peng shut his mouth and stepped aside to stop making any sound.

This matter seems to have become a bit complicated. Why did Cao Chong get involved? Didn't Cao Chong have been sent to Yingchuan to study? Could it be that he was dissatisfied with Cao Cao's arrangements, so he sent someone to assassinate Cao Cao?

?This sounds ridiculous, but it is not impossible. Since ancient times, there have been many cases of father and son turning against each other. It is not impossible for a father to kill his son and for a son to kill his father.

Cao Peng believed that this incident had nothing to do with Cao Chong.

But at this time, he did not dare to speak again, because he saw that Cao Cao's face had turned livid...

Cao Cao clenched his fists with both hands, and after a moment he suddenly roared: "Where is Cao Zhen?"

"The end is here!"

Cao Zhen rushed in from outside the hall.

"You immediately take people with you and rush to Yingchuan Academy at starry night to bring that traitor back to me."

"this……"

"Why, are you going to disobey me?"

Cao Zhen secretly complained in his heart.

He hesitated for a moment, then cupped his hands and said, "I don't dare to do this because of my humble position, so I'll just take the order."

"slow!"

Cao Peng suddenly stood up and knelt down in front of Cao Cao, "Uncle, this matter has nothing to do with Cang Shu. Cang Shu knows the truth, how could he do such a treasonous thing? In my nephew's opinion, this matter is a serious matter.

There's something fishy. I'm afraid even Cang Shu doesn't know the origin of this woman.

It would be best to ask first how this woman got into Master Cangshu's side.

If the lord is doubtful, you can ask your brother to go to Yingchuan Academy in person to inquire. Why make such a fuss, it will not benefit the lord at all."

Cao Cao couldn't help but hesitate.

He also knew that Cao Chong would not do such a thing.

But the assassin was recognized as someone close to Cao Chong. If he didn't make a statement, he might be misunderstood by Gao Shun. He glanced at Gao Shun secretly, but saw that Gao Shun's face was as usual and he stepped forward.

, "Sikong, in my opinion, what Mr. Cao said makes sense. It would be unsightly to pursue it with great fanfare. It is better to find out how this woman got into the house first, and then ask the Fifth Young Master before it is too late."

Now that Gao Shun had spoken, Cao Cao naturally no longer insisted.

After a while, Xu Chu returned and said, "Reporting to Sikong, I found a naked woman in the snowdrift behind the wine room, it was Xiaoyu."

"Check, find out for me how this woman got into the house."

This time, Cao Cao was really angry.

Such a woman sneaked into the house and no one noticed.

If she wanted to assassinate Cao Cao, then Cao Cao would be in great danger... Fortunately, Cao Cao was very vigilant on weekdays, and there was always one of Dian Wei and Xu Chu following him. Otherwise... Cao Cao was furious and struck.

Han Chan couldn't help but feel fear in his heart.

At this time, an old housekeeper came over.

"Sikong, this old slave has some impressions of this woman."

"oh?"

"It must have been at the beginning of the year. One time, the Fifth Young Master went out and brought this woman back with him. The old slave remembered that the wife also asked about it. The Fifth Young Master said that when he and Zhou Buyi went to Fangshi, they saw this woman selling herself to bury her father.

So he couldn't bear it, so he bought him back to serve him.

That’s right, it’s this woman!

The old slave still remembers that the madam initially planned to let her work in the kitchen, but the Fifth Young Master said that she could read, so she stayed with the Fifth Young Master."

"Are you sure?"

"Old slave, it's absolutely true..."

Cao Peng's expression suddenly changed at this moment.

He stood up and shouted, "No!"

Without waiting for Cao Cao to ask, he rushed out of the hall.

"Jun Ming, take the people quickly and follow Ah Fu there."

Although Cao Cao didn't quite understand why Cao Peng reacted so violently, he instinctively chose to believe Cao Peng in this case.

Dian Wei agreed, took ten guards with him, and followed Cao Peng.
