Chapter 254

"Cao Shangshu's four sons, the eldest son died early, the second son and the third son were concubines, and they didn't live up to it. They either hang out in the brothel or hang out with a group of cronies. The fourth son is the youngest son born in the capital. He was beaten to death in a dispute, and he was sent to the army by his father. Obviously, he hasn't changed, he was very careless, and now he is dead, I don't know how heartbroken Cao Shangshu will be."

"Fortunately, this matter has nothing to do with us, it's just something new." Su Nancheng said.

"Yes, it has nothing to do with us, but it's just something new to hear." Deputy Commander Zhang followed up with a smile.

"If you want me to say that such a prodigal son, he deserves to die. It's not worth worrying about. On the contrary, it will be a big deal if this weapon factory can be improved in the future."

Su Nancheng nodded: "Vice Commander Zhang is right. It would be best if the eldest prince is willing to mention this matter to His Majesty when we go back. If he doesn't mention it, I will find a chance to talk to Your Majesty. It's not good to get involved here If you solve it all at once, you still have to frighten one or two. I am really afraid that the Beiyi people will go south again."

"Hey, who isn't afraid?" Deputy Commander Zhang said with lingering fear.

After saying a few more words, Deputy Commander Zhang took advantage of the words of the patrol and left.

"My lord, what did he notice that he came here to test you on purpose?" Cheng Ming asked.

"It's okay. I didn't go out secretly that night. I told the eldest prince that I was on patrol. Posts in the wilderness, for the sake of safety, should be patrolled properly." He took people out, and twenty people could still go unnoticed ?
Perhaps Deputy Commander Zhang really meant to test, but he just didn't want to get into trouble.

He couldn't see anything from Su Nancheng, so he let it go. It's better not to know about this matter than to know.

Peng Duzao is a person who is very good at handling affairs, and he really takes good care of the eldest prince.If it weren't for Su Nancheng and others to speak up, the eldest prince probably really thought that Peng Duzao was a good person.

A ten-year-old child is sensible, but he is still a child after all.

Peng Duzao was not only trying to curry favor with the eldest prince, he was also very polite to Su Nancheng.Back then, it was to reward Su Nancheng with a sum of money to tell him to shut up for the sake of the Hou Mansion.

Today is different from the past, so naturally we have to deal with it from the beginning.

He never said anything about meeting in advance, and he was very polite when he invited Su Nancheng and Deputy Commander Zhang to dinner.

"I don't know what is popular in the capital now. Our Jincheng is not big, and there is nothing new. The two adults at this table watch and eat. If you don't like it, you will get a new one. You guys are so good to serve the two adults." Peng Peng The supervisor pointed to the four girls standing behind.

They all looked to be no more than sixteen or seventeen, they were beautiful, and they acted generously, which made people feel at ease.

Since Peng Duzao never mentioned the past, Su Nancheng could only pretend that there was no past.

"You're being polite, didn't you say it's just a simple meal? Why is it such a big scene? It made us feel embarrassed." Su Nancheng said politely.

"Yeah, why is there still wine here? I will never drink wine when I wait for the guard of His Highness the First Prince." Naturally, Deputy Commander Zhang stood with Su Nancheng.

"Oh, oh, I'm a low-ranking official, so don't drink, don't drink. Come and come, the wine has been withdrawn. It is a big deal to protect His Highness the First Prince, and you can't drink." Peng Duzao followed the good advice: "Other Don't refuse, both of you, just sit down."

Su Nancheng sat down with a smile, Peng Duzao said: "Since you don't drink alcohol, then I will replace wine with tea, and welcome the two adults first."

All three of them took a sip meaningfully.

"I'm so happy to hear that the two adults are here, especially Commander Su, who is young and promising! None of the sons in Xiaguan's family are worthy. They are all older than you. Hey..." Peng Du Zao shook his head, as if he hated iron but not steel.

"I'm ashamed to boast about what you said. It's nothing more than my luck. The former emperor and today's Xinzhong are the only ones who are today. I'm always afraid, for fear that I won't be able to afford it." Su Nancheng said.

"Why can't I afford it? Commander Su will definitely be in the sky in the future. When the subordinate officials ask you for something, I still need your help." Peng Duzao said.

"Help each other, help each other." Su Nancheng raised the tea bowl and responded with a smile.

After talking a lot of nonsense, Peng Duzao got to the point: "There is something, I wonder if the two adults have heard about it?"

"Is what you said about the Cao family?" Su Nancheng asked.

"Yes, it seems that my lord has also heard about it." Peng Duzao smacked his lips: "This happened, it's strange. After hearing about it, Mr. Shangshu passed out immediately, and he is still bedridden. It's also a hard life, Shangshu. My lord's two legitimate sons are gone now, and this youngest son has not even left an heir."

Su Nancheng and Deputy Commander Zhang looked at each other, thinking about the relationship between Peng Duzao and Cao Shangshu.

It seems shallow.

It's understandable, he is so greedy, is it possible for no one to support him?
The person behind it is either Cao Shangshu or includes Cao Shangshu.Now Su Nancheng felt that it was more right to kill Mr. Cao.

Cao Shangshu must have known about Su Nancheng getting the 5 taels back then.Didn't do anything but certainly didn't like him either.

If this time, he involved Mr. Cao's ugliness, ha ha.

"I've heard about this. But I don't know what happened. I only know that people from the Peacock Sect did it. Did you catch the thief?"

"No way, that group of Peacock Cultists are usually farming and chopping firewood. I reckon that the people living in this house are a bunch of thieves. If they killed someone, they would have fled long ago." Peng Duzao said.

Su Nancheng nodded and took a mouthful of food.

It seemed that the Cao family didn't want to make a big fuss, and they had to explain why they were in the residence.Didn't the old man say that in the past, there were sometimes seven people, so there were two people who knew about it.

Cao Shangshu can't accept the reputation of raping civilian girls even after he's dead.

I'm afraid I can only check behind my back.

The four words of Peacock God Religion are only spoken to the outside world, and Cao Shangshu may not believe them.

Unless that family member is caught and brought back, he won't be involved.But if he is really caught... Su Nancheng is not afraid.

If they really involved themselves, they would not be able to produce evidence.I am not an unofficial person.At that time, what if they falsely accuse the officials of the imperial court and cause trouble?
Cao Shangshu was highly trusted by the late emperor when he was in the late emperor, but it has not been seen that the new emperor cares about him in recent years.

For a moment, Su Nancheng thought about it.

The girl next to him served him cloth vegetables and tea, and he joked with Peng Duzao.

Peng Duzao wants to tell them that he is not fighting alone, who doesn't have an asylum now?
After all, isn't it just to tell Su Nancheng and Deputy Commander Zhang to shut up and stop talking too much about what he is doing?

　I'm sorry... I'm going back to the stable update right now and I won't say anything.
