it's getting dark!

There was no nightlife in Zhongyang Town 1,800 years ago. There were no restaurants open all night, and there were no brothels with singing and dancing birds. After a busy day, people went home early to rest... As the sun rises,

The moon rests, roughly like this.

The market was deserted, with almost no pedestrians in sight.

Cao Peng, wearing a gray turban, took advantage of the dark night and came to the foot of a high wall.

Seeing no one around him, he walked to the foot of the wall, pushed aside the withered grass, and a small dog hole appeared. However, looking at the withered grass at the entrance of the hole, it must have been abandoned for many years. Cao Peng took a deep breath, and ducked into the wall through the dog hole.

Finally, he squatted under the corner and looked around carefully.

This is the backyard of Cheng Kee Trading Company, with two buildings, one high and one low.

One building is used as a warehouse, and the other is for people to live in.

In his previous life, Cao Peng had dealt with people like Cheng Ji... He knew very well that such people were narrow-minded and would retaliate for their anger. They were typical villains.

What do rich people care about?

The answer is simple: face!

Wang Meng hurt Cheng Ji's face during the day. With a character like Cheng Ji's, how could he swallow his anger?

Not to mention that this incident was caused by Cao Peng's mother, but just because Cheng Ji took his mother's jade pendant by force, Cao Peng could not let him go easily.

I can’t remember the sentence in that novel: There is a beast hidden in everyone’s heart.

In a society ruled by law, no matter whether the word "legal system" is in quotation marks or not, the effect is very obvious. Heavy laws firmly suppress the beast in the human heart. Cao Peng is a law enforcer, so this kind of suppression is particularly obvious. But now

Reborn in the troubled times of 1,800 years ago, all kinds of constraints seemed to have become insignificant. When Cao Peng helped his mother leave during the day, he keenly captured the murderous intention hidden in the eyes of Cheng Ji and the three elders... That was when Cao Peng was helping his mother to leave.

At that moment, Cao Peng knew that this matter was not over yet!

Rather than being harmed by them, it is better to take the initiative yourself!

The gunshot beside the Xiong'er River Reservoir not only killed him, but also released the layers of shackles that were weighing on Cao Peng's heart.

If others do not offend me, I will not offend others...

But since you have offended me, don't blame me for being ruthless.

Cao Ji is a loyal and honest man. This can be seen from his first reaction after learning the cause of the matter, which was to come to reason with Cheng Ji and seek justice; Wang Meng's previous experiences, Cao Peng

He doesn't know, and he doesn't want to know. But he knows that maybe Wang Meng was lawless in the past, but now... Wang Meng has become his shackles, making it impossible for him to do whatever he wants.

Wang Mai is a lawless guy, but I can't tell him this matter.

Therefore, Cao Peng decided to seek justice himself.

While buying medicine, Cao Peng observed the environment of Chengji Trading Company and discovered this unknown dog cave. He knew that Chengji Trading Company was the best place to live in Zhongyang Town. According to his understanding, Chengji Trading Company

When Ji usually comes to Zhongyang, he always lives in a trading house...

It's not that San Lao is unenthusiastic, but Cheng Ji is a person who loves to enjoy himself.

Since he lives comfortably in his own business, it is absolutely impossible for him to live in someone else's house.

Cao Peng observed the situation in the courtyard. He leaned against the wall and came to the door of the room without anyone noticing. He stretched out his hand and pushed the door gently... The door opened slightly. The door was not locked.

, the room was also dark, and there was no sound inside.

Cheng Ji was invited to drink by the three elders in the evening, so there was no one else in the room at this time.

Cao Peng ducked into the room and closed the door.

It was pitch dark and I couldn't see clearly what was inside.

Cao Peng narrowed his eyes and tried his best to adapt to the darkness in the room. He groped deeply and lightly, and soon found out the layout of the room. Facing the door, there was a low couch.

The bed during the Three Kingdoms period has a very peculiar shape... It is about two meters long and one meter four wide. It has six legs and is twenty centimeters high. The wound surface is a movable drawer board, with fences on all sides, and a gap is left at the front and back for convenience.

Up and down. One side of this bed is against the wall, leaving only a gap for people to use.

Although he couldn't see clearly the overall appearance of the bed, Cao Peng could still roughly understand its specific shape.

There is a low table in front of the bed, with a roll of wooden slips placed on it.

Cao Peng groped for a while, and soon found a cabinet in the corner. It was about two meters high, and there was a groove hidden on the top of the cabinet. After testing the width and height, Cao Peng put away the dagger.

Okay, I jumped up suddenly, grabbed the edge of the cabinet with both hands, used my arms hard, and my body fell into the groove. Lying in this cabinet, it is difficult for outsiders to find it without paying attention.

At this time, footsteps were heard outside the house.

Cao Peng hid on the top of the cabinet and looked out through the gap in the wooden railing... He saw lights flashing, and then the door was pushed open. Two servants walked in carrying lanterns, lit the oil lamps, and left

Go to the center of the room and lift up a piece of floor, revealing a dark fire pit.

A servant walked out of the house, brought in some live coals from outside, and poured them into the fire pit.

"Hurry up, the master will be back in a while. If the temperature is not enough, you and I will both suffer."

"Isn't that what I'm doing?"

Another handyman used a fire blower and kept blowing air into the fire pond. The coals in the pond gradually lit up, and the temperature in the room gradually increased.

"Gouzi, do you think the master has passed during the day?"

"What happened?"

"I mean... we all know who the Cao family's wife is. She came to pawn the jade pendant in order to get talisman water for her son.

If you do this, you will inevitably harm the world.

To be honest, I can't stand it... Our master is not short of money, so why should he bother women and other people?"

"shut up!"

Gouzi quickly stopped the handyman and said softly: "It's not our turn to complain about this kind of thing. Don't you know who the master is? If a goose plucks its hair or poops, you will get a mouthful of it."

People... If you ask me, it’s the Cao family’s daughter-in-law who doesn’t have eyesight and came to us to pawn. How could I let the good things come to my door? If you want to blame her, just blame her because there is no one above her, she deserves to be unlucky!”

Then, Gouzi lowered his voice and said, "Do you think our master is easy to get along with?

How about King Tiger! That is the number one hero in Zhongyang Mountain... But I tell you, in less than three days, that tiger will turn into a dead tiger."

Cao Peng lay on the top of the cabinet, his eyes suddenly turned cold.

Sure enough, Cheng Ji really wanted to kill Wang Meng...

"Gouzi, how do you know?"

"Did you see Cheng Si this afternoon?

Let me tell you, that guy rushed back to Wuyin County on the order of the master. It is estimated that he will soon arrive in Wuyin County at this time... If the master reacts quickly, he will definitely send someone before dark tomorrow

Come here. At the latest, we will arrive in Zhongyang early the day after tomorrow.

Wang Laohu can indeed fight, but can he withstand our great master?"

The servant grinned and made no further comment.

But looking at him blowing the fire pond vigorously, you can tell that this guy is afraid.

The fire pit quickly burned, and the room was as warm as spring. The two servants left the room while talking, and closed the door.

Cao Peng was on top of the cabinet, motionless.

Fortunately, I made a decisive decision, otherwise, disaster would have been imminent.

But the more this happened, the stronger Cao Peng's desire to kill Cheng Ji became. This was a mad dog. If he couldn't kill him, he would endanger the whole party sooner or later.

He curled up and closed his eyes.

Now that the fire pond has been lit, Cheng Ji must be back soon!

One of the compulsory courses for being a criminal police officer is to wait for a while. I remember when Cao Peng spent six days waiting to catch a criminal. This moment of waiting was nothing to him. Closing his eyes made it easier to wait.

He recharged his batteries and waited for Na Cheng Ji to come back.

Time passed little by little.

About an hour and a half later, there was another sound of footsteps outside the house.

The door was suddenly pushed open by someone. With the support of a guard, Cheng Ji walked into the room drunkenly, shouting as he walked.

"Sooner or later I will make sure he dies badly!"

Who will die badly?

Cao Peng didn't know.

But considering the conversation they had just now with Gouzi, it should be Wang Meng.

"Sir, would you like some hangover soup?"

The guard helped Cheng Ji sit down on the bed and asked cautiously.

Cheng Ji drunkenly waved his hand, "Liu, you go and have a rest... You will accompany me to the mountains tomorrow morning... By the way, where did you put the box that Lao Cheng gave you just now?"

The guard pointed to the bed and said, "It's right at your fingertips.
