Cao Thief

Chapter 359
Kneeling on the ground was a young man who looked about twenty-one-two.

Thick eyebrows, big eyes, and a strong physique.He was wearing a patched gray short jacket with a slanted front and a pair of thin-soled cloth shoes.Stand up, about 180 centimeters, revealing a heroic spirit.When Cao Peng saw it, he couldn't help but feel very strange.

Is this young man complaining to me?

It's no wonder that Cao Peng was surprised. Logically speaking, it should be the Xu County Yamen who complained, not him.

Speaking of which, Cao Peng is a military officer and has no right to govern local affairs.Even Cao Ji has only the power of public security and no jurisdiction...

Waving his hand to signal the people around him to move away, Cao Peng stepped forward and looked him up and down.

"Young master, you are wronged, you are wronged!"

"Man, you have been wronged. You should go to the Xu county government to file a complaint. Why do you want to complain to me?"

"My lord, the one I want to sue is the county magistrate Xu!"

Cao Peng frowns, and can't help frowning together.

At this time, Cao Ji just came out of the mansion, seeing this scene, he also felt strange, so he shouted: "Youxue, what happened?"

When going out, the character is called, and when entering, the name of the baby is called.

When there are no outsiders, Cao Ji will call Cao Peng 'A Fu', but in front of outsiders, Cao Ji will call Cao Peng's nickname.Having been an official for several years, Cao Ji has learned a lot about the rules of the officialdom.This is an official style, and it is also for the sake of Cao Peng's face.

Cao Peng said: "Father, this man stopped me from complaining, saying that he wanted to sue County Magistrate Xu."

"Oh?"

Cao Ji stepped forward and asked in a deep voice, "You want to sue County Magistrate Xu?"

"Exactly!"

"What's your name?"

"The villain's name is Niu Jin, and he was originally from Chen County, Yuzhou. Last year, he came to Xu County with his mother and brother. Thanks to Sikong's kindness, he opened a warehouse to help my family of three survive. The villain knows that what he has done today is against the rules. , but because of my elder brother, the villain has no choice but to sue. My elder brother is not the murderer, he can't even ride a horse, so how could he hurt Mrs. Cao..."

"Wait a minute, what's your brother's name?"

Cao Peng heard the clues, it seems that this matter is related to his family.

"Brother villain, his name is Niu Xian!"

"Niu Xian?"

Cao Ji shook his head and looked at Cao Peng.

Cao Peng's eyes flashed, and there was a savage look.

He said softly: "Father forgot? Didn't the magistrate Xu say two days ago that the murderer who injured Sister has been caught, and that he is called Niu Xian...has been designated as Autumn Queen's Execution."

"My brother didn't hurt Mrs. Cao."

Cao Ji suddenly asked sharply, "Niu Jin, what's going on, please explain clearly."

As the prime minister in charge of Jinwu, he is in charge of public security in Xudu.

This anger had its own majesty, which made Niu Jin tremble with fear.

"Niu Jin, get up and speak slowly." Cao Peng said softly.

Niu Jin stood up and said tremblingly: "My brother and I brought my mother to Xu County, where we lived in a shed outside the east city.

Seeing that the spring is warm and the flowers are blooming, and there is no ration at home, my brother wants to go to the city to find something to support the family... My brother and I have been doing part-time jobs in the city. A few days ago, my brother said that he found a job and returned He took the usual money and told me that he was going on a long trip.

I didn't think too much about it at the time, and my mother was in poor health and needed someone to take care of her, so I didn't ask.

Unexpectedly, when I went to the city yesterday, I heard that my brother was sentenced to beheaded by the autumn queen... I was shocked at the time, and hurriedly inquired about the situation, only to find out that my brother was arrested and questioned for injuring Cao's wife with his horse.God is so pitiful, my family is impoverished, and my brother has never ridden a horse, how could he hurt someone with a horse?I wanted to go to the prison to see my brother, but the prison chief said that no one was allowed to see me under the order of the county magistrate.

The more I thought about it, the more strange it became that my brother must have been wronged, so... I boldly came here to appeal for injustice. I heard that Mr. Cao has the ability to see clearly, so I ask you to be the master for my brother. "

Cao Ji is confused!
And Cao Peng, on the other hand, was furious...

"Fu Wan, bully me too much!"

"Youxue, what's going on?"

But Cao Peng's face was flushed and his body trembled slightly.

"Xiahou, follow me to the county government office!"

He yelled sharply, Xia Houlan quickly agreed, followed Cao Peng on the horse, and went straight to the county government.

Cao Peng didn't go to the yamen hall, but went straight to the prison next to the county yamen.At the door of the cell, Cao Peng was stopped by two jailers.

"Who are you waiting for?"

"Blind your dog's eyes, Mr. Cao, the captain of Yueqi school, don't let me get out of the way."

Xia Houlan stepped forward and pushed the jailer away.

Cao Peng was about to go in, but he saw the prison guards looking at each other, one turned around and walked towards the county government office, and the other stopped Cao Peng again.

"Captain Cao, you cannot enter."

"Why?"

"The county magistrate has an order, and the prison is heavy. Without the county magistrate's handwriting, no one is allowed to enter.

Although you are a captain, but this..."

Before he could finish speaking, Cao Peng raised his hand and slapped him.

Hearing a bang, half of the prisoner's face suddenly became red and swollen, he stepped back two steps, and fell to the ground.

"Yuan Shao has an army of [-], and I can still enter Youxin. I want to see who dares to block my way today."

While speaking, Cao Peng pressed the spring, drew out his waist knife with a clang, and strode towards the prison with big strides.

Just looking at his murderous posture, who would dare to step forward to stop him?

Who doesn't know that this little Bayi Cao Peng, who was released from the battlefield before, is a master who kills without blinking an eye.When a cell boss got the news, he ran forward tremblingly, "Captain Cao, I dare to ask you..."

"Where is Niu Xian?"

"what?"

"I'll ask you again, where is Niu Xian... If you dare to lie, I'll cut off your dog's head."

Cao Peng grabbed the prisoner's collar and asked sharply.

Looking at the glaring big knife in his hand, the cell boss was also a little timid, "Stop the captain, don't be angry, the captain, the villain will take you there."

The prison chief led the way, followed by Cao Peng.

Xia Houlan and the others rushed forward and guarded the prison door.Xia Houlan walked into the cell together with Cao Peng... Behind them, Niu Jin followed closely.In the cell, the light was dim.A long narrow passage with cells on both sides.Some are big, some are small.In every cell, there are more or less prisoners.Seeing someone coming in, these prisoners rushed to the door of the cell one after another, screaming loudly.

Cao Peng didn't pay attention at all, and just walked in with the cell leader.

After turning a corner, in the innermost cell, which was only a few square meters in size, a burly man was tied to a pillar with bruises all over his body.

"Big brother!"

When Niu Jin saw the man, he couldn't help shouting.

Cao Peng stood outside the cell door, looked at the man inside, and frowned, "What's the matter with these injuries on his body?"

"This one……"

The prison boss seemed to be hesitating, his eyeballs rolling around.

Xia Houlan stretched out her big hand and put it on the prisoner's neck, "The captain is asking you something, answer honestly, otherwise your neck will be broken."

"It's the county magistrate, it's the county magistrate's order."

"Why?"

"After the thief came in, he kept shouting that he was wronged, saying that he was not the perpetrator.

After the county magistrate heard about it, let us greet him well, tell him to shut up and stop talking nonsense... Captain, the villain is just following orders. "

As soon as the words were out of his mouth, a cold light flashed in his eyes.

The head of the cell screamed in fright, but heard a light click, and Cao Peng swung his knife to cut off the chain on the cell door.

Niu Jin walked like flying, rushed into the cell, untied the burly man, and lay flat on the dirty grass, "Brother, wake up, brother, wake up!"

Niu Xian slowly opened his eyes, and when he saw Niu Jin, he tremblingly said: "Ah Jin, I didn't hurt anyone... They gave me a lot of money to ask me to admit it. They said that no one died anyway, as long as If the horse is startled after being bitten to death, it hurts the person. At most, it will be sentenced to one or two years.

But I didn't expect that they wanted me to die..."

Niu Xian's voice was very low, but Cao Peng could hear it clearly.

One hand clenched into a fist, his body trembling non-stop.After a long time, he suddenly yelled, "Xun Wenruo, how dare you lie to me."

"Son..."

"Come here, take Niu Xian out and follow me out."

"Captain, no!"

The head of the cell was startled, and quickly shouted: "You are robbing a prison, that is a capital crime."

"You can misrepresent the truth, and you can turn black and white... I will take him to see Xun Yu today. I want to see who dares to stop me."

While talking, Cao Peng stretched out his hand to press the prison head's chest, exerting force suddenly.

He saw the body of the cell boss flying out with a whoosh, hitting the cell door fiercely, and spurting out a mouthful of blood.

Cao Peng strode out, Xia Houlan and Niu Jin supported Niu Xian, and walked towards the prison door.

"Someone is robbing the prison!"

The cell head collapsed on the ground, hissing.

But at a time like this, who would dare to step forward to stop him?
Cao Peng walked out of the prison unimpeded all the way, and got on his horse outside the prison door.

"Captain Cao, what are you doing?"

The county magistrate Xu, who got the news, came from the county government office with dozens of Ya Ding servants. When he saw Cao Peng from a distance, he shouted loudly.

Cao Peng sat upright on the horse, his eyes narrowed.

County Magistrate Xu is new, and Cao Peng can't even remember his name, but only vaguely remembers that this guy's surname seems to be Chen.

However, it is not the 'Chen' of Chen Qun in Yingchuan, it seems to be from Runan.

A wicked smile appeared on his face, Cao Peng suddenly urged his horse, Zhao Yebai Xi Yuyu let out a long hiss, and rushed towards the county magistrate Xu.

Almost all of Xu Du's sharp soldiers were drawn out.

Most of these Yading servants in the county government are a group of mobs.

Seeing Zhao Yebai galloping wildly, although he only rode one, he exuded a murderous aura.

The yamen screamed in fright, and quickly dodged to the side.But that county magistrate Xu had no time to dodge!Cao Peng just went towards him.The distance of [-] meters was only passed in the blink of an eye.When the county magistrate Xu came to his senses, he saw a dark red blood flashing in front of his eyes, which made him shrink back in fright, screamed, and fell to the ground.The high crown on the head was cut into two sections by Cao Peng...

"Sorry, my horse is startled!"

"what?"

County Magistrate Xu's face turned pale, and his lips were trembling.

The knife just now made him almost think he was dead!
Only then did he remember that the man in front of him was the one who killed Yuan Jun in Yanjin and caused rivers of blood to flow.To put it bluntly, it is called killing people without blinking an eye, killing people like hemp, but to put it bluntly, it is also the master who took the head of the general.It is really not difficult for Cao Peng to kill him.

"I will take the life of anyone who dares to stop me today... The king of heaven is here, so don't even try to stop me!"

Cao Peng was on the long street, looking up to the sky and screaming.

The county magistrate Xu fell to the ground, not daring to move.

"What's going on, what's going on?"

"I don't know, it seems that Captain Cao led people into the prison to save them..."

"Save who?"

"How would I know!"

On the side of the road, pedestrians whispered.

Someone suddenly exclaimed, "Isn't that Niu Xian?"

"Who is Niu Xian?"

"You forgot, some time ago Captain Cao's sister, Mrs. Cao, was seriously injured in the street. It was later found out that it was Niu Xian who did it... Strange, why did Captain Cao save this Niu Xian? Then But his enemy! Could it be that he wants to kill Niu Xian with his own hands?"

The fire of gossip blazed in everyone's hearts.

But no one dared to lean over, because everyone could see that Captain Cao was going crazy right now.

"Niu Jin, do you have the guts?"

"If it wasn't for the captain, my brother would have almost died in prison, why wouldn't I dare?"

"Take your elder brother and go to the door of the Shangshu Mansion to call for grievances... Tell me what happened to you in detail, and let the whole world know."

"dare!"

Niu Jin was also angry!

With my brother's life, it's only worth a penny?

If I hadn't found Mr. Cao and complained, even if my brother died, he would have to bear a grievance.Seeing Niu Xian's bruised appearance, Niu Jin felt extremely angry.He also risked it all, isn't it just a death?I'll just listen to Captain Cao and see what you can do to me.

Cao Peng called two Fei Yan and accompanied Niu Jin to Shangshu's mansion.

Xia Houlan stepped forward and asked, "My lord, where are we going?"

"Go to Fuguo General's Mansion... I took a step back for Xun Yu's sake. But they bullied me like this. Is it easy to bully me as Cao Peng?"

After Cao Peng finished speaking, he turned his head and said to Fei Yan who was behind him, "Follow me to visit the Fuguo General's Mansion!"

Zhao Ye's white iron hooves trampled on the long street, rattling.

Dozens of flying horses followed Cao Peng closely and rushed towards the mansion of General Fuguo.

"There is excitement, there is excitement!"

The passers-by were all very excited, whispering to each other: "It looks like Captain Cao is going to have a quarrel with General Fuguo, let's go watch the fun!"

And the county magistrate Xu finally came to his senses at this time, his face was pale, and he knew that something was wrong.

This time, it's really troublesome!
Before Fu Wan called him away, and asked him to take Niu Xian away, he took the charge of his retainer.

It's not that Fu Wan wanted to make things difficult for Cao Peng, but that he couldn't swallow this breath either.Thinking that he is a dignified relative of the country, he was forced to such a point by a villager's son.In the end, he couldn't even keep his own son, so he could only send him away from Xudu, and let Fujun go to that bitter cold place to suffer.

Don't look at when he lectured Fu Jun, he was very logical.

But in my heart, I feel aggrieved...

After returning from the home of Liu Guang, Marquis of Linyi that day, he was complained by the woman at home for a long time.

"My lord, you are the general of Fuguo, the dignified head of the country, and now even your own son, who is also the only blood of the eldest princess, has to be sent to a place of bitter cold to suffer. This world is still the world of the Han family. Is this country still the Liu family? ? General, you are so useless."

It was this burst of complaints that made Fu Wan make up his mind.

Although he promised Xun Yu to hand over the murderer, he thought in his heart: You asked me to hand him over, so I will hand him over?I prefer not to date...

I will find someone to take the place of the dead ghost, so that I can humiliate you in the future!
To be honest, I was a little apprehensive at the beginning, but as the battle of Guandu kicked off and everyone's attention shifted to the battlefield at Guandu, my heart fell down after I fell down.At least, this matter can end here, no one knows.

Today is the day of the court meeting.

However, as usual, Emperor Han did not come to the court, and Cao Cao was not there, and there was no one to preside over it.

Fu Wan responded, and closed his eyes in the classroom to rest his mind, preparing to go to the palace to meet his daughter in a while, and to say something by the way.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he walked out of the classroom, he saw a person walking in a hurry.

"Master, something serious has happened!"
