Cao Thief

Chapter 142: Toasting, not eating, drinking and punishing

Wonderful, it's not over yet!

More than 200 minions were thrown into the prison, and the empty prison suddenly became overcrowded.More than a dozen bloody heads were stacked in front of the gate of the county government, and the top one was Chen Sheng's head!Blood, gathered a stream, dyed the streets red.Jingguan, with more than a dozen heads stacked together, seems to be warning those who plan to do something wrong: Deng Ji is not a soft persimmon...

After Cao Peng killed Chen Sheng, he did not return to the county government.

He asked Wang Mai and Deng Fan to clean up the mess, and then he and Xia Houlan went straight to Chen's mansion with ten soldiers.

At this time, the Chen family did not know that Chen Sheng had become the ghost of Cao Peng.Huang Yizheng directed Mending to clean the streets and hung colored lights at the gate.

They are ready, and after killing Deng Ji, they will make a big splash.

Since Chen Sheng dared to kill officials, he was not afraid of the court coming to trouble him.He has enough contacts to make this matter disappear invisible.

however……

Cao Peng and Xia Houlan took the lead and came to the gate of Chen Mansion.

The two doormen stepped forward to stop Cao Peng, but before they could speak, Xia Houlan jumped on the horse and twisted the gun, distractedly stabbing.Neither of the two doormen could figure out exactly what happened, Xia Houlan had already stabbed the two of them to death.With the combination of yin and yang, Xia Houlan shook off the body on the silver spear.The gun pointed at the servants in front of the Chen residence, their handsome faces revealed a strong murderous look.

"Listen everyone, Chen Sheng conspired to rebel and has been dead on the long street.

You immediately squatted down and put your head in your hands... If anyone dares to resist, they will be killed on the spot.Cao Bing Cao Shushi came to search the whole Chen family. "

Huang Yi was also frightened by this sudden change!
But after all, he had experienced storms, and he immediately reacted: "Don't listen to the nonsense of the dog officer! There is a saying that raising soldiers for a thousand days, and using them for a while, the master treats us well on weekdays, and I will take care of the master's worries and problems. With people like them , How could it be the master's opponent? Follow me if you are a hero, kill these dog officials, and when the master returns, there will be a big reward... Brothers, don't do it all!"

I have to say that Huang Yi's words are very deceptive.

I also have to admit that Chen Sheng has worked hard for ten years, and he has indeed bought some confidantes.

As soon as Huang Yi finished speaking, more than a dozen Mending family members grabbed their weapons and rushed forward.

Cao Peng's face darkened, and he suddenly let out a cold snort.

Knocking on the horse's belly with both feet, Zhao Yebai let out a long hiss and raised his hooves.

A doorman rushed forward, and before he could swing his weapon, Zhao Yebai's iron hoof kicked his leg with a bang with great force.

This horse shines at night, and has followed Xiahouyuan for thousands of miles. What tragic scene has he not seen?
Back then, when Cao Cao and Lu Bu fought in Puyang, Zhao Yebai charged Xia Houyuan on his back.I have seen a lot of fierce people, just a doorman, Zhao Yebai still doesn't pay attention to him.Its hoof kicked extremely quickly, and with a click, it broke Mending's leg into two pieces.Zhao Yebai, but with horseshoes, the power of that iron hoof is more fierce than usual...

Mending was standing on one leg, but the other leg was cut in half.

Blood dripped from the broken leg to the ground, exposing white bones... Only the pain caused him to scream, and the weapon in his hand dropped.

Cao Peng showed no expression on his face, and immediately swung his knife to chop Huashan with all his might.

Compared with when he was in Chenliu, Cao Peng's knife was more rounded.

For Cao Peng, it can be said that Cao Peng benefited a lot from the bitter battle with Lei Xu.

He practiced martial arts in his previous life, and killed people in this life...

But if you want to talk about a real master, you haven't seen it yet.Whether it is Dian Wei or Wei Yan, they are extremely powerful, but they have never fought him to the death.The first battle at Lutaigang was also the first time in Cao Peng's life that he fought against someone much better than himself.The gains obtained cannot be expressed in words.After laying down for half a month, Cao Peng never lost his effort.The Twelve Duan Jin has been practiced more diligently, and the half-step Beng Fist is more powerful than before.And the most important thing is that after that battle, Cao Peng's previous bottleneck state was suddenly broken through... After his body recovered, instead of weakening, his strength became even stronger.

As for the use of strength, it has also increased several times.

When this knife goes down, it is like a thunderbolt and lightning, and its momentum is terrifying.The light of the knife flashed, and the blood burst out...

That door was cut in half by Cao Peng from head to crotch.Blood was flowing, and the internal organs were scattered all over the place, which looked particularly terrifying.

"Which one is coming to die?"

Cao Peng's anger sank to his dantian, and he let out a loud roar on the horse.

The power of the eight-character mantra, combined with the aura of the dantian, made his roar very powerful.

Unlike Xia Houlan who killed them with a gun, Xia Houlan picked and killed three people in this instant.But the power it caused was not as frightening as Cao Peng's knife.

Mending, who had just rushed a few steps, was so frightened that his face turned pale and his legs became weak.

"Squat down!"

The ten soldiers behind him followed Cao Peng and roared at the same time: "Squat down!"

Suddenly, someone threw away their weapons, put their hands on their heads, and knelt down on the ground with a plop.When one person kneels down, a group of people follow...

Originally, Xia Houlan said that Chen Sheng was killed, which already made the family members of the Chen family panic.

And Cao Peng's knife seemed to explain everything.

No one will doubt this news.Chen Sheng is so powerful, he led so many people, and they all died... What are we going to do?
As soon as Huang saw that the situation was not good, he turned his head and left.

In fact, it's not that he doesn't know that Chen Sheng's life is more dangerous than good.

Otherwise, how could the people from the government appear outside the Chen residence so quickly.

It's just that he has his own little plan in mind.Huang Ben wanted to take advantage of the chaos outside, so he ran back, wrapped the money and silk and fled.

Who knew that Cao Peng's knife would solve all the troubles.

Huang Yi didn't dare to stay here, so he just left.

Cao Peng has been paying attention to Huang Yi.

When this guy started, he yelled the most!
Seeing Cao Peng urging him to go forward immediately, Zhao Yebai completely ignored the steps in front of the Chen residence, and jumped up in a hurry.But at this time, Huang Yigang ran down the steps to the courtyard, Cao Peng didn't say anything else, he straightened the long knife in his hand, and with a sound, he threw it out of his hand.

The shining long knife pierced Huang Yi's back.

Huang Yiah let out a scream, and was nailed to the ground by the seven-foot-long knife.

"Say it again, all squat down!"

Hulala, dozens of mending family slaves knelt on the ground with their heads in their hands.

This little boy is really scary...

How could the handsome young master be so cruel when he killed someone?Kill without blinking an eye!Yes, it is murder without blinking an eye!

Cao Peng was on the horse, turned his head to Xia Houlan and said: "Xiahou, the solution to the battle is not how many people to kill, but how to kill them!

Sometimes, killing one person is more useful than killing ten or a hundred.It just depends on how you kill..."

Xia Houlan cupped her gun on the horse, "Thank you for your teaching, my lord!"

"let's go!"

Cao Peng shook the reins, Zhao Yebai walked slowly into Chen's residence.

At this time, it didn't look as fast as before, but there was a sense of elegance in that slow walk...

Chen Sheng has seven wives and five sons.

However, most of them do not live in the city, but in other villages outside the city.

The two close concubines knelt tremblingly on the ground.All of them turned pale, and their delicate bodies trembled, obviously frightened by Cao Peng and others!
Cao Peng, led by a house slave, went directly to Chen Sheng's study.

It was located in the Chen Mansion, an independent small courtyard.Cao Peng got off his horse at the entrance of the study and walked into the study.

I saw three rows of bookshelves in the study, with scrolls and bamboo slips stacked on top of them, and many square boxes.Walk over and open it, and there are gold, silver and jade objects in the box.There are not so many precious things in it, but Cao Peng is obviously not interested.

Walking to the desk, Cao Peng glanced at the things on the desk.

It seems that there is nothing worth noting, but the pile of Zuo Bo's paper must make Deng Ji very satisfied!On Zuo Bo's paper, there is a bronze Ruyi pressed down, which looks like a carp and is quite exquisite.The copper body has faint green hair, and the fish scales on it are clearly visible.

Cao Peng stretched out his hand and took Tongzhen in his hand.

In this era, there is no such thing as a paperweight.However, there are many people who like to use this kind of item, which can be regarded as a kind of elegance...

Cao Peng held the carp Ruyi in his hand, and couldn't help being taken aback.

Judging by the size and workmanship of this carp Ruyi, the weight of this copper town should not be light.But holding it in your hand is not the case.

Could it be that it is empty?
Cao Peng fiddled with the copper town in his hands a few times, but found no news about the agency.

He tapped the desk a few times with his fingers, and after thinking for a while, he took the copper weight and walked out of the study.

"Pack up the scrolls and papers inside... After dawn, I hope to see them in the county government!"

Cao Peng said to the slave who led the way.

The house slave quickly said: "The villain understands."

"Remember, look after it, don't miss anything."

The house slave is a clever guy, and he also knows that his master's situation is over.

At this time, it's better not to serve the young master in front of me... Tsk tsk tsk, this young master is a ruthless character who won't be soft-hearted.

"The villain is staring here, and he will never miss half a point."

When Cao Peng heard this, he smiled.

He got on his horse and went out.

The house slave stood upright at the door of the study, like a loyal guard.

"Everyone is tied up with ropes, one by one. The women are rushed into the room and are not allowed to enter or leave without authorization." Cao Peng said to Xia Houlan: "I will leave it to you to deal with here. Remember to take Chen Sheng's account books and servants. Find out the list, and I will ask Hu Ban to come and get it later."

"I will understand at the end!"

Xia Houlan stepped in to obey the order, and took action with the people.

Cao Peng sat on the horse, shrugged his nose, and let out a soft breath...

--------------------------

Push the time forward two days.

In the study of the Haixi County Government, Deng Ji and Puyang Kai were frowning.

Although they made a plan to attack Chen Sheng, they never expected that Chen Sheng would use an astonishing force to deal with them.

Throughout Haixi County, Deng Ji was isolated!

Externally, he doesn't seem to care.

But at home, Deng Ji was worried... Chen Sheng's second drive-up of grain prices put Deng Ji in an embarrassing situation.

"Brother-in-law, do it."

Cao Peng said to Deng Ji: "Chen Sheng is now ordering people to buy grain and rice in other counties. If things go on like this, it will become more and more difficult for us."

"But... are you sure you can get rid of Chen Sheng?"

Cao Peng shook his head, "The outcome is five or five, who can say that success is certain?
But brother-in-law, you have to understand that if we fail, even Xu will not be able to go back.Xun Shizhong and Guo Jijiu tried their best to recommend you, as well as Man Taishou and Xun Shangshu, all expressed their support for you to come to Haixi.If we can't stay any longer, do we still have the face to go back and meet them?
After we walked out of Xudu, we will either gain a firm foothold here, or we will be decapitated.

Brother-in-law, you and I don't have a second choice... The Overlord of Chu can still break the boat, so why do you hesitate and hesitate? "

Pu Yangkai also expressed his approval of Cao Peng's remarks.

Deng Ji scratched his head, "Chen Sheng has many minions under his command."

"How much can there be? Three hundred, five hundred... that's amazing! In Haixi, it's not very likely that he wants to raise a thousand people. Besides, he has sent a large number of people to buy grain and rice. I guess He is now in Haixi, which means only two or three hundred people..."

"Two or 300 people, that's all?" Deng Ji was annoyed, "Ah Fu, tell me, how many people do we have?"

"160 people."

"what?"

Deng Ji was a little puzzled by the number reported by Cao Peng.

"When did we have so many people?"

"Brother-in-law, have you forgotten the patrolmen in Haixi County back then?"

"But they're already gone..."

"That's right, the patrols are gone, but their soldier Cao Shushi is still in our hands. Although County Magistrate Feng didn't succeed in Haixi, he was basically a good official, and he was more or less popular. Feng Chaoneng Gathering a crowd as a thief also shows that he has some prestige among the patrolling troops.

In the past two days, I asked Feng Chao to secretly contact some of the original patrolmen.

In addition to the more than 30 people in the prison, he summoned more than 160 people... counting the troops we brought, it was exactly [-] people.In addition, my second and third brothers all have unstoppable courage; Uncle Zhou is also battle-tested and highly skilled in martial arts.Feng Chao's shooting skills are very good, and I have taken in a good guy... Although that guy is greedy for money and very vulgar, his skills are not inferior to Uncle Zhou. "

"You mean the guy who sleeps all day?"

"It's him... His name is Pan Zhang, his name is Wengui, and he is a good hand."

Deng Ji pursed his lips, and joked a little: "Ah Fu, you are really good. When you go to the North Market, you will bring back a good player..."

"This, pure character, you understand!"

Deng Ji has become accustomed to one or two sentences that are ahead of the times from Cao Peng's mouth from time to time.

Pu Yangkai suddenly said: "Then what about the Chen family?"

"What Chen family?"

"The Chen family of Guangling...Although Chen Sheng is not a direct descendant of the Chen family, he is still recognized by the Chen family.

If you just do it like this, the Chen family may not look very good... The Chen family is from the Guangling family, and Chen Yuanlong is your uncle's superior.It stands to reason that after you take office, you should pay a visit.If you don't say hello to Mrs. Chen, I'm afraid it's not appropriate. "

When Deng Ji heard this, he couldn't help but patted his forehead.

"If it wasn't for the sir's reminder, I almost forgot about it... Then, what should I do?"

"The most urgent thing is to get Chen's approval first. However, the uncle and grandson may not be able to leave for a while, and the others may not be transferred for fear of non-Youxue, so Youxue must also stay. How about this, let the old man go away for a while." Come on, go to Guangling to pay a visit to Chen Hanyu."

Chen Hanyu is Chen Deng's father, Chen Gui.

"Sir, I heard that Chen Hanyu is not easy to deal with."

Pu Yangkai smiled and said: "It doesn't matter... In the early years, I asked Chen Hanyu for advice, and I had a relationship with him.

Chen Gui is a person who can tell the difference between the important and the important... His heart is for the Han Dynasty, otherwise when Yuan Shu proclaimed himself emperor, he would not bow his head if he threatened his son.Chen Gui may not agree with what Chen Sheng did in Haixi.It's just that the court had no time to take care of it before, and it was inconvenient for Chen Gui to come forward. "

Deng Ji pondered for a moment, then nodded in agreement.

Afterwards, Cao Peng secretly ordered Feng Chao to take the [-] patrolmen who had been summoned temporarily, together with Zhou Cang, Pan Zhang, and Dianman Xu Yi, to intercept the grain.

Deng Ji believed that with Chen Sheng's temper, it was absolutely impossible for him to bear this tone.

The investment of tens of millions of dollars has been in vain, and it is unlikely that anyone will be able to bear it.

Therefore, both Deng Ji and Cao Peng believed that Chen Sheng would break the boat and commit that great treason...

——————————————————————————————

Its daybreak!

Carriages full of grain drove slowly into Haixi County from outside the city gate.

For a while, Haixi County was boiling...

"Have you heard, Chen Sheng is dead!"

"No way, Mr. Chen was fine yesterday, how could he be dead?"

"Ha, if you say you are confused, you are really confused. Who is Magistrate Deng? That is the order of Haixi appointed by the imperial court! After all, this Haixi belongs to the imperial court. How can Chen Sheng be arrogant and domineering? Look at him in front of him. Listen to Zhang Kuang, one word from County Magistrate Deng can kill him."

"It seems to be the case."

"If you don't believe me, go to the county government office to see... Chen Sheng's head is placed there."

"Not only!" A Haixi man came over and said in a low voice: "Early this morning, Deng County Magistrate issued a document, ordering Haixi Jia people to immediately adjust the grain price back. See if those grain trucks are Magistrate Deng’s method! If those Jia people don’t listen, County Magistrate Deng will immediately throw out the grain and drive down the price of grain... Haha, we in Haixi won’t have to eat that expensive grain anymore!”

All kinds of discussions, one after another.

However, the direction of the wind seems to have changed dramatically overnight.

Deng Ji changed from a chief culprit who endangered the normal life of Haixi people to a parent official who cared for the people wholeheartedly.

The praise for him has never stopped from the moment the grain truck drove into Haixi County...

The Jia people in Haixi County were all frowning.

In their hearts, they were about to scold Chen Sheng to death... If it wasn't for Chen Sheng, they wouldn't have refuted Deng Ji's face yesterday.The county magistrate invited him, but no one came to the banquet.It's good now, I'm afraid that if I want to go again, people won't give me a good face.

"What are you afraid of!"

Finally someone jumped out to comfort everyone.

"Master Chen is also a descendant of the Chen family. Deng Ji is so bold that he killed Master Chen. The prefect Chen may not give up with him."

"That's right, that's right..."

The dejected Jia people suddenly regained their spirits.

"Then what shall we do?"

"Wait... Humph, it won't be long before Deng Ji is arrogant! Just watch, in a few days, the prefect Chen will send someone over. At that time, Deng Ji will not end well! This Haixi County is still ours. Haixi County, let him be mad for a few days..."

The Jia people stood at the door of the shop, whispering.

It's just that when they saw the human heads hanging on the flagpole of the carriage, their faces turned pale and their calves trembled!
Those are all the family members of Mr. Chen...
