Cao Thief

Chapter 491 Zongzi Beauty ([-])

Cao Peng showed a strange expression, did not look at Su Shuang, looked past Su Shuang, and stared at a man behind Su Shuang.

The man was nearly forty, not too tall, and of medium build.

As soon as he came in, he lowered his head.Seemingly sensing Cao Peng's gaze, the man smiled wryly in his heart.In fact, long before he came to Hexi, he already knew that he couldn't hide it from Cao Peng.Moreover, he was not very willing to come to Hexi at first.It's just that Su Shuang treats him very kindly, and he has been wandering for a long time, and he also hopes to find a place to settle down and settle down his life.

Originally, he had two choices.

One is to return to Luoyang's hometown, and the other is to come to Hexi.

Back home, of course you can live a good life.But if that was the case, he would just be living in Luoyang in this life, unable to accomplish anything.So after much deliberation, he decided to come to Hexi to give it a try.Perhaps, Cao Peng had already forgotten him.

But now...

The man came out in embarrassment, cupped his hands and said, "I wish you the best of luck, I have met Cao Beibu."

Cao Peng couldn't help laughing, stood up, and walked forward, "I said it looked familiar, but I didn't expect to meet an old friend from Luoyang in Hexi. I wish you good luck after five years of separation." No? Your affairs in Luoyang have already been cleared up, and your family members have released them, so you don’t have to hide your name and hide in Tibet to make a living.”

"what!"

Hearing this, the man felt even more ashamed.

This man is indeed an old friend of Cao Peng when he was the captain of Luoyang North.

In the past, Luoyang Dahao, a generation of swordsmen wished him the Tao.

Five years ago, when Cao Peng served as Luoyang Beiwei, he had several encounters with Zhu Dao.To be honest, the contact between the two was not particularly pleasant.Zhu Dao has a deep foundation in Luoyang, and he looks down on Cao Peng a little bit, and often speaks with disdain.Coinciding with the case of Yueguan, there were many murders in Luoyang, several times, the finger pointed at Zhu Dao as the murderer.

At that time, Zhang Liang, another ranger from Luoyang, defected to Liu Bei.

Taking advantage of a rainy night, he killed Chi Zhong, a knight-errant who had a crush on Yueguan, and framed the matter on Zhu Dao... Zhu Dao is good at Longyang, and he likes molesting children.At that time, because a male pet had empathized with someone else, he killed him in anger and buried the man's body in his courtyard.Zhang Liang told Zhu Dao that the government was aware of his murder of a child molestor and wanted to punish him.

Zhu Dao also had ghosts in his heart. Hearing what Zhang Liang said, he fled Luoyang overnight...

Speaking of it, in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, the habit of cutting off sleeves was quite popular in the style of Longyang, and it was not a big deal.

The key is that the person who took Zhu Dao Nan's favorite away is also a little famous in Luoyang.

If it is known by the other party, it will definitely clean up and wish.In addition, he was extremely rude to Cao Peng before, and worried that Cao Peng would take this opportunity to deal with him.After leaving Luoyang, Zhu Dao ran to Zhongshan Kingdom and joined the Su family of Zhongshan...

He knows the situation at home.

In the Han Dynasty, there was a theory of buying a crime.

It is to spend a certain amount of money and silk to get rid of the sins on the body.

The male favorite who was killed was just of humble origin.Although someone loved him before, but if he died, he would die.

Zhudao's family spent some money and reached an understanding with the other party.

Then he used his family's land outside Luoyang City to donate to the government, which can be regarded as reducing Zhu Dao's guilt.

It's just that Zhu Dao never dared to go home.

In the early days, it was because of the dispute between Cao and Yuan, the battle of Guandu; and then because of the fear that it would be affected after returning, so they have been in Zhongshan country.This time Su Shuang decided to go to Cao Peng, Zhu Dao thought about it again and again, and decided to try his luck with Su Shuang.

Regarding the conflict between Cao Peng and Zhu Dao, Su Shuang had heard Zhu Dao mention it.

Hastily bowed and said: "Meng Zhi has been regretting the absurdity of the past all these years, hoping to redeem his crimes, but he has never had the opportunity. Now that I came to vote for the son, Meng Zhi also hesitated for a long time, and came boldly, please forgive me He was rude back then."

Cao Peng couldn't help laughing.

To Zhudao, he didn't like it.

However, he is quite appreciative of his swordsmanship.

This is a ranger that even Shi Ah would praise, and his swordsmanship is naturally not weak.To be honest, when Cao Peng was appointed as Luoyang Northern Captain, many people did not agree with it.Don't say that Zhu Dao looks down on him, even Wei Mengtan in the south under Luoyang's rule is often dissatisfied.If it weren't for Cao Peng's literary fame and close relationship with Chen Qun, there would have been many troubles.It's his sexual orientation... Cao Peng feels a little uncomfortable...

It was precisely because of this that he did not go to help Zhu Dao.

It's not discrimination, it's just a little awkward...

You have a big beard, you don't like women like men, this makes Cao Peng very unbearable.

However, Cao Peng did not hold grudges against Zhu Dao.

At that time, he was a lieutenant in the north of Luoyang, and he was entitled to a salary of six hundred shi.

Now, he has become the prefect of a county, a dignified general of Beizhong, and a senior official with a salary of two thousand shi, so his mood is naturally different.

On the contrary, Zhu Dao, Luo Yang Dahao back then.

But now he has to live under the fence of others, drifting for several years, and finally honestly in front of Cao Peng, calling him a "criminal".

The gap between the two sides is too big!

If Cao Peng hadn't met Zhu Dao when he was so old, he might even have forgotten this person...

He smiled and waved his hands, "In the old days, Mr. Cao didn't do anything wrong. If you offended me, don't worry about it. Although you killed someone before, your family has already solved the disaster for you. You can go back to your hometown and live with your wife and children." reunion...

However, since you came to me today, I can probably know your thoughts.

It is a good thing that you are willing to serve the court.But I have many rules here, and there are some things you have to understand.First of all, you must change your knight-errant temperament, and secondly, you'd better get rid of that, that habit. "

Zhu Dao blushed, prostrated himself on the ground, and said in a trembling voice: "Dao remembers the teaching of the young master, and the old bad habits will never be repeated."

"Alright, get up and sit down."

Cao Peng waved his hand, signaling Su Shuang and the others to sit down.

His temporary hall was still Ou Tuo who had convened the alliance back then.

It's just that those wolf-skin and fox-skin sofa cushions were replaced with ordinary cushions.

Moreover, after Cao Peng established his dominant position in Hexi, he began to implement some of his living habits.

For example, people in the Han Dynasty sat on the ground, while Cao Peng found craftsmen and built a large number of tables and chairs.

Sitting on a chair seems more comfortable than kneeling.If he was in the Central Plains, he would inevitably be criticized for promoting these things.But in Hexi, no matter what he does, no one will object.Among the [-] Han households who were relocated this time, there are many craftsmen.Therefore, Cao Peng's thoughts are not a problem.

Of course, many people are not used to it at first.

For example, Pang Tong, Xu Shu and others always felt that the tables and chairs seemed nondescript.Even Cai Yan thought that the tables and chairs were inconvenient... On the contrary, Li Ru thought it was good. After Cao Peng made a prototype, Li Ru asked someone to move them to his residence.

"Meng Zhi, don't worry about not getting used to it here.

Speaking of which, there is still an old friend of yours in Hexi, if I see you later, I will be very happy. "

Cao Peng had an idea!
He was about to try to cover up Li Ru's identity, so wouldn't it be a good time for Zhu Dao to come?

When he was in Luoyang back then, he had a close relationship with Li Ru, whose alias was Xuan Shuo.It's better to let Zhu Dao stand in front of Li Ru to distract Jia Xing's attention.At least, for a period of time, Jia Xing's eyes can be temporarily diverted from Li Ru.

Thinking of Jia Xing, Cao Peng felt helpless.

This little fox has won Jia Xu's samadhi, maybe he is not as exhaustive and cunning as Jia Xu.But in Hexi, it is indeed a leader.At least, among the many civil servants around Cao Peng, Jia Xing can definitely be ranked first, even above Pang Lin and Meng Jian.He has a very broad mind and can adapt to changes.The jump is so great that people often can't keep up with his thoughts.

In terms of calmness and atmosphere, Jia Xing is not as good as Pang Tong and Xu Shu.

In terms of proficiency in government affairs, and in every detail, he can't compare with Bu Zhi...

But it has to be said that the existence of Jia Xing has excellently supplemented the shortcomings of Pang Tong and others.He likes to take a slanted sword, and his moves are vicious. He often affects the whole body with one stroke, and he is deeply influenced by Jia Xu.Even Li Ru thinks that if Jia Xing is ten years older, when he is [-] years old, his mind is mature, his experience is rich, and his vision is fully opened, he will become the second poisoner.

However, Cao Peng did not remember, was there such a person as Jia Xing in history?

After Jia Xu, it seems that he has never heard of any brilliance in his offspring... Perhaps, this is another change brought about by him, a little butterfly.At the same time, Jia Xing's appearance in Hexi also made Cao Peng feel another deep meaning of Jia Xu.Jia Xu is now the official governor of Jizhou (vacant position), and he can be regarded as the core of Cao Wei's staff.It is impossible for him to get too close to Cao Peng, that would make Cao Cao suspicious.Even his two sons were very low-key in the court, and never got very close to a certain person or a certain faction.

Let Jia Xing come to Hexi, is it Jia Xu's kindness to Cao Peng?
For this guess, Cao Peng also specifically asked Li Ru for advice.

Li Ru also agreed with his idea, "Jia Wenhe is far-sighted and very good at hiding.

If you hadn't put him in the clear, I guess he might not be so valued by people now...Well, he asked Jia Xing to help you, not so much to express goodwill to you, I think it is better to say that he is in Xiang Cang Mr. Shu released his kindness. "

"Mister means..."

"Hehe, I didn't say anything."

At that time Li Ru smiled and changed the subject.

But in Cao Peng's heart, a strange idea came into being.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ++++++
Su Shuang's visit to Hexi this time can be said to be in full force.

Almost all of his foundation in Zhongshan Kingdom was abandoned.In addition to the direct descendants of the Su family, plus the craftsmen and followers under Su's hands, there are more than [-] people.According to Su Shuang, when he came to Hexi this time, the supplies, money and food he brought on the surface were worth more than five million yuan, which is about five hundred million yuan in capital...

Su Shuang was very respectful and presented the list he had made to Cao Peng.

Then, he suddenly smiled, "Young Master, Shuang also brought you a gift, please don't refuse, Young Master."
