Cao Thief

Chapter 137 The first day (33) Ask for a recommendation ticket!

In the study of Neiya, there is only one desk.

A set of beds and three mats, all of which are dilapidated.Fortunately, it has been cleaned, so it can still be seen.Opening the small door of the inner stall, a damp smell hits the face.The bookshelves standing by the wall are stacks of bamboo slips, all covered with white mold.

Deng Ji shook his head with a very speechless expression.

Cao Peng walked into the stall with a torch, turned around, and came out again.

"Brother-in-law, in my opinion, this is not something that can be sorted out in a short while. Everyone has been driving for a whole day and is already very tired. Why don't you simply clean it up and rest first. After dawn, we will clean up the place here. Outside, let's clean it up..."

Deng Ji thought for a while, then nodded in agreement.

This whole day, fatigue, panic, anger, surprise...

All kinds of emotions were intertwined, which also made him a little tired.

Unexpectedly, the first night in Haixi would be spent in such an environment.

He was more or less disappointed, but in a blink of an eye, he cheered up again, and walked out of the study with Puyang Kai, Cao Peng and others.

Feng Xiao once reminded me that Haixi County is not a good place.

He asked me to serve as Hecy Ling, which is enough to show how much he values ​​me.If I back down so quickly, wouldn't I have failed Feng Xiao's respect?I left my wife who just gave birth to a child, and the child who was waiting to be fed. Isn't it just to start a career?Although Haixi is chaotic, it is a good place for us to build our careers and showcase our talents... I must not disappoint everyone's expectations.

Thinking of this, Deng Ji couldn't help clenching his fists!

-------------------------
After midnight, it started to rain lightly.

The winter rain is cold and the temperature drops sharply.Fortunately, everyone got together, so it wasn't too cold.First, several rooms were cleared out. Deng Ji, Puyang Kai and Cao Peng bought one, Dianman Xu Yi, Deng Fan Wang bought one, Zhou Cang, Xia Houlan and others divided the other rooms.At the same time, Cao Peng has arranged for security, and everyone is guarding the front yard of the county government, so there is no need to worry too much.

After all, there are dozens of people here!

If someone wants to make trouble, there is really no need to worry.

Outside, the rain is ticking.

The rainy night by the sea makes people feel an unusual taste.

The air is filled with a fishy smell and a faint salty smell...

Is this Hessie?

Cao Peng fell on the couch and slowly closed his eyes.

It rained for less than an hour.When it was about to dawn, Haixi was foggy.The regular biological clock makes Cao Peng open his eyes on time.He got off the bed and walked out the door.A gust of cold wind blew in front of him, making him shiver.

The wind in Haixi is not as strong as in the north.

But this kind of cold can soften fingers and penetrate directly into the cracks in human bones.

Cao Peng wrapped his collar subconsciously, walked out of the room, and saw Xia Houlan leaning against the shelter under the eaves, taking a nap.

"Xiahou, Xiahou!"

"Ah, son..."

"Let everyone go to rest." Cao Peng looked at the sky, "It will be dawn soon, and I don't think there will be any troubles... There are a lot of things today, you go to rest first, and when you are refreshed, we will We still have to repair the government office and sort out those files."

"Here!"

Xia Houlan was not too polite, and directly surrendered.

He knew that Cao Peng was right.This Haixi is now in a state of waste, and there are too many things to do!If you don't rest well, you will lose your energy.Xia Houlan walked out of the corridor and called the guards who were under the porch, sheltered from the wind, to go down and rest.

Foggy days are not suitable for strenuous activities.

So Cao Peng just made a few simple movements, stretched his body, picked up a wooden stick from the messy luggage placed under the eaves, and then walked into the back house.The high wall I saw last night was indeed the courtyard wall of the back house.The size of this house is not small, with all the houses, and there are two cross-yards on the left and right.There are two towering trees in the yard, whose branches and leaves have withered.

Cao Peng counted it carefully, and there were more than 40 houses in total.

If you add the wing rooms in the front yard, there are more than [-] rooms in total, which is enough to accommodate these accompanying retinues.

Although the house looks a bit dilapidated, there are basically no major problems.After cleaning, people can live in it, and the project will not be too big.

The two cross courtyards are very quiet, that is, they are independent from the whole government office, and at the same time, they are connected by secluded paths.

It can be seen that a lot of effort was put into the original design of the county government.But presumably the designer would not have imagined that one day, this building, which represented the comfort of the Han Dynasty, would be dilapidated to such an extent.

"Wild grass and flowers by the Zhuque bridge, the setting sun is slanting at the entrance of Wuyi alley.

In the old days, the front swallow of Wang Xietang flew into the homes of ordinary people. "

Cao Peng couldn't help but chanted the song "Wow Clothes Lane" softly. Although it didn't fit well, in terms of artistic conception, it was very appropriate.

"Good song!"

"what?"

Cao Peng turned around and saw Puyang Kai standing not far from him.

I was so invested in it just now that...

Cao Peng secretly blamed himself for letting down his vigilance under such circumstances.

Fortunately, it was Puyang Kai. Wouldn't it be dangerous if someone else was hostile to him?Although this is the backyard of the county government, it is equivalent to opening the door.The dilapidated courtyard wall was really too easy to get in and out of.Even if someone came, it would not be easy to notice at the moment.

Pu Yangkai walked over with his hands behind his back.

"Youxue, which song did you sing just now?"

Most of the poems in the Han Dynasty are Yuefu.

Wuyan has just started to rise, and seven words are not particularly popular yet.A very traditional old man like Puyang Kai is not very accepting of Qiyan.Therefore, he replaced poetry with 'singing'.The implication is that these seven-character quatrains are hard to be elegant.

"Uh...Mr. Puyang, you got up really early."

"It's getting late!" Puyang Kai said, "If it wasn't for being too tired yesterday, I would have already got up by this hour."

As he spoke, there was a gentle smile on his somewhat rigid face, "Ah Fu, what song did you sing just now?"

"Oh, the boy just looked at the scenery in front of him, and couldn't help but feel emotional, and sang casually."

Pu Yangkai nodded, "I know the Zhuque Bridge, but where is this Bird Clothes Lane?"

"This..." Cao Peng was almost suffocated by Puyang Kai.How did he answer?Niaoyi Lane is the scenery of Nanjing... Oh, in this era, it should be called Jiankang.God knows if Jiankang has been established?In my impression, Jiankang City seems to be built under the supervision of Sun Quan.

Turning his eyeballs around, Cao Peng pointed his fingers across the courtyard leading to the secluded path.

"Sir, please look, on both sides of this trail, there are towering old trees with luxuriant branches... in line with this mist, does it seem to be covered with a layer of black sand?"

Pu Yangkai was stunned, and examined it seriously.

"What you said is really similar."

"Looking at the layout of the county government office, his original owner must have put a lot of thought into it. But he must have never imagined that one day, the county government office he carefully designed would become so dilapidated. I also had a feeling for a while, and sang out , made Mr. laugh."

"Hmm...it does have a bit of a taste."

Puyang Kai twisted his beard, "In the old days, Wang Xietang was in front of Yan... By the way, what does Wang Xie mean?"

Omg!

Wang Xie, those are not people of this era.

Cao Peng made up an explanation for Bird Clothes Lane, but he really couldn't think of a reason for "Wang Xie".

I heard Puyang Kai talking to himself, "Could it be that there were county magistrates surnamed Wang and Xie in Haixi before?"

With that said, he shook his head and stopped pursuing it.

He likes ancient poetry, not seven-character quatrains.When Cao Peng chanted softly just now, Puyang Kai just thought it was interesting, but he didn't really care too much.

Cao Peng took a deep breath, stretched out his hand and wiped the cold sweat that didn't exist on his forehead.

Fortunately, this old antique didn't ask the bottom line.If I continue to ask, I really don't know how to answer it.

"Youxue!"

"Ah, the students are here."

"What do you think of the three evils of Haixi?"

"I?"

Pu Yangkai stopped in his tracks, stretched out his hand and plucked a dead vine from the Kuayuan palace gate, and played with it in his hand.

"Yes, we have imagined many situations before, but now that we are in Haixi County, we realize that there are so many twists and turns."

He turned around, looked at Cao Peng and said, "I'm afraid it will not be easy for Uncle Sun to gain a firm foothold here."

"Well, that's true."

Cao Peng murmured in his heart: I know it's not easy, but you don't have to ask me.

Pu Yangkai said, "Then where do you think we should start?"

"Oh... I think we should repair the courtyard wall first, so that we can see everything here clearly by standing outside the wall."

As he said that, Cao Peng stared out of the courtyard wall.

"Sir, I think at this time, I don't know how many people are hiding outside the wall, and they are paying attention to you and me."

Pu Yangkai followed Cao Peng's line of sight, and saw a figure swaying in the mist.He frowned slightly, and a look of anger suddenly appeared on his face.The voice also increased, and he shouted sharply: "Small people, don't worry about it. We are ordered by the emperor to leave Zhenhaixi... This place is still under the rule of the big man, and this is still the territory of the big man. I see how long they can be arrogant. !"

Outside the wall, a figure swayed and then disappeared.

Cao Peng also laughed!
"Mr. has a noble spirit in his chest, so no evil will invade him!"

"Humph."

Pu Yangkai snorted coldly, turned around and was about to leave.

"Youxue, it seems that our first step to gain a foothold in Haixi is to start from the wall of this courtyard."

The county government represents the majesty of the imperial court.

If it's so easy to be spied on, what's the point?
Pu Yangkai originally thought that if he wanted to gain a foothold in Haixi, he had to solve the 'three evils' as soon as possible.

But now it seems that perhaps it is still necessary to establish the prestige of the court first.How to stand?Naturally, it started from the courtyard wall of the county government.

However, Cao Peng didn't notice that when Puyang Kai walked out of the arched door in the backyard, the corners of Puyang Kai's mouth slightly curled up.

Although Cao Peng didn't answer his question, in fact, he had already given the best answer... Uncle Sun is still a little too radical!

In the early morning, Chen Deng hurried across the path and came to the edge of the pond.

"Father, you called the child, what's the matter?"

Chen Gui turned his back to him, and did not turn around, "According to the days, the Hercynian Order appointed by Mr. Cao should have arrived."

"Father, it should be within a few days."

"Send someone to watch over there."

Chen Deng asked: "What does father mean..."

"Let's take a look first." Chen Gui coughed lightly, "This Deng Ji, who has never heard of his name before, was suddenly entrusted with a heavy responsibility by Mr. Cao. He is by no means an idler. Keep an eye on Haixi." , if there is any trouble, you must let me know immediately."

"Here!"

Chen Deng surrendered.
