Cao Cao called me to rob a tomb

Chapter 376 Cooperating Well (4000)

at this time.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

"Open the door!"

"Prefect Cheng is here, so hurry up and open the door!"

"Pinxiang Pavilion has been surrounded layer by layer, you are already unable to fly, if you don't open the door, you will die!"

"Get ready to hit the door!"

"..."

Suddenly there was an extremely chaotic noise outside the gate a few courtyards away. After hearing Bai Jingjing's whistle, Cheng Yu led the Chenliu garrison who was ambushing nearby to support Wu Liang.

If possible, Wu Liang would definitely not fight unprepared, and naturally made foolproof arrangements.

In fact, as early as when he subdued Qiong'er and those "red men", he could already teach Bai Jingjing to whistle and recruit Cheng Yu's Chen Liu garrison to deal with these servants. Necessarily dirty their own hands.

But Wu Liang didn't do that.

Just because he still has his little Jiujiu in his heart...

at last.

"I'm sorry shopkeeper, although the villain's death is not a pity, but no matter what, he can't hurt the old mother at home."

The arrival of Chen Liu's garrison completely destroyed the last trace of luck in the hearts of those servants. A servant with the quickest response was the first to attack and reached out to grab the shopkeeper who was about to escape.

"Don't teach him to run away, otherwise we will die!"

"What are you waiting for, grab him!"

"The villain has surrendered, please forgive the villain's life..."

"..."

A stone stirred up a thousand waves, and all the servants who knew that the situation was over immediately turned against each other and rushed towards the shopkeeper, fearing that if they were too late, Wu Liang would be displeased and they would be killed.

Some of the servants quickly put down their weapons and knelt down, lying on the ground and begging Wu Liang for mercy.

"Traitors! Eat traitors inside and out!"

Seeing that the servants had already surrounded him, the shopkeeper was even more angry and cursed.

But at this moment, he was still unwilling to let him go, instead he rushed straight to one of the servants, snatched the Ring Shou Dao from that servant's hand, and slashed with all his might.

"Whoa!"

The servants were afraid of hurting themselves, so they quickly stepped back to make room for the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper put the knife in front of him, but suddenly turned his head to look at Wu Liang, raised a strange smile on the corner of his mouth, and laughed arrogantly: "You came here for the 'Nightmare Art', right? That's right, this 'Nightmare Technique' is exactly my unique secret technique, and I did all those things. You can find some skills here, but if you think that you can teach me how to fight, then you will be big Wrong, hahahaha, you can't kill me!"

After saying this.

"Shh!"

Without giving Wu Liang any time to react, the shopkeeper suddenly put the ring-shou knife horizontally on his neck, and then made another mistake with force!
"Pfft-"

The shopkeeper's throat had already been cut about two inches deep. If there were no vertebrae inside, the whole head would have been cut off.

Blood gushed out of the opening like a fountain, instantly dyeing the large open space under his feet red.

He was absolutely right.

Wu Liang really couldn't kill him, because he had already killed himself before Wu Liang made a move.

"Oh……"

The group of servants had never seen such a bloody scene, and they all took a few steps back in fright, their pupils shrank non-stop.

"This... Young Master?"

Seeing this, Dian Wei quickly looked at Wu Liang.

At the beginning of tonight's operation, Wu Liang had specifically explained to them that he wanted to catch Cao Ang and Cao Ting as much as possible before finding Cao Ang and Cao Ting. However, he did not expect that the shopkeeper would act so decisively that Dian Wei had no chance to stop them.

"My head is about to fall off, even if the gods come, I can't save them."

Wu Liang shook his head, sighed and said.

Although Wu Liang had never seen the incident of committing suicide with a sword, he had heard of it a lot. To commit suicide, he didn’t need to be so ruthless. All he needed to do was cut open the arteries in the neck, and the medical technology of this era was powerless.

Moreover, Wu Liang felt that even if he really wanted to die, there were very few people who could do such a cruel thing to him.

He suspected that there was something wrong with this matter, and even suspected that the shopkeeper's suicide might not be his own will, but more like silence...

And the basis for this suspicion was the weird smile that the shopkeeper showed him at the end.

He felt a hint of provocation from that smile.

"But son, we haven't had time to interrogate the whereabouts of Cao Ang and Cao Ting, what should we do?"

Yu Ji then asked worriedly, this is one of the purposes of their operation...

"Isn't that still alive?"

Wu Liang looked back at Qiong'er and those "popular men" who were lying in the hall, and grinned.

……

It won't take long.

When Cheng Yu led his troops to rush in, he was shocked to see the scene in the courtyard.

More than 20 servants were all disarmed and knelt on the ground trembling. Next to them was a dead body whose neck was cut in half, and a large pool of blood flowed out.

In the living room, apart from the four Zhangtai women who lay limp on the ground with disheveled hair, there were also nine servants.

These nine servants were either lying on the ground moaning in pain with arrow wounds, or they were cut and lost the power to resist. Among them, three unlucky guys were wounded to the vitals and had completely died.

This scene looked like it had gone through a big battle.

But look at Wu Liang and others.

There were a total of five people in the group, including a weak woman, who were all standing in the hall in good order, not to mention whether they were injured or not, but they didn't look embarrassed at all, at most there was a little blood splattered on their bodies...

"This……"

Cheng Yu was taken aback for a moment, and quickly walked up to Wu Liang, looked him up and down and asked with concern, "I'm a step late, General Wu is not injured, is he?"

He didn't just care about Wu Liang, but he also cared about himself.

Wu Liang is now a celebrity in front of Boss Cao. If he was injured because of this incident, but Cheng Yu and Chen Liu's guards did not take a single shot, Boss Cao would definitely blame him.

"Thanks to Mrs. Cheng for guarding her, she is safe and sound."

Wu Liang smiled.

Cheng Yu immediately felt relieved, and looked back at the servants lying on the ground and kneeling on the ground, as well as the corpses that were already dead, but couldn't help but said: "Then this..."

"Thanks to Cheng Taishou who arrived in time for support, we worked together with Cheng Taishou to defend against the enemy, and finally took down all the traitors, killing several enemies and wounding several of them. Cheng Taishou has made great achievements this time, and Chen Liuwei's army also contributed a lot. No, the envoy will definitely reward you when he returns."

Wu Liang blinked at Cheng Yu and said with a smile.

"This?"

Cheng Yu was taken aback for a moment, but after all he reacted quickly, and hastily lowered his voice and winked at Wu Liang, "General Wu is really too modest... This time I owe General Wu a favor again, plus For the previous ten catties of gold, I am willing to write another IOU to General Wu, and I will owe General Wu twenty catties of gold from now on."

"When?"

Wu Liang turned around and asked.

"Uh... as soon as possible. General Wu also knows that the old man's annual salary is not much, and when the old man has enough, he will take the initiative to send it to his door."

Cheng Yu smiled awkwardly, and quickly changed the topic as calmly as an old Lai, then searched around and asked, "General Wu, the envoy is still waiting for our news, I don't know what you are doing this time?" Have you found out the whereabouts of the eldest son?"

"The treasurer of the envoy committed suicide before he could give an account."

Wu Liang pointed to the shopkeeper's corpse in the yard, frowned slightly and said, "As for the rest, I haven't had time to interrogate them yet, please ask Cheng Taishou to order Chen Liu's guards to search Pinxiang Pavilion immediately, don't let a place go, Please prefect Cheng interrogate with me, maybe we can find out the whereabouts of the eldest son."

"good!"

Cheng Yu had no objection, and immediately ordered people to tie up the servants, and arranged some soldiers to search the Pinxiang Pavilion, while he entered the hall with Wu Liang.

"Excuse me, sir..."

"The villain has already done what the official wants, and the official promised to spare the villain..."

"Please forgive me..."

Seeing that they were still tied up, the servants kowtowed and begged for mercy.

"Honestly wait, someone will deal with you after the work is done."

Wu Liang glanced at them, then taught Yu to order people to carry out the corpses of the servants and the wounded in the hall, leaving only the few "red men" behind.

As for the fate of those servants.

In fact, Wu Liang could imagine that these servants could be regarded as useful young adults. Boss Cao would probably send them into the military camp and send them to the battlefield... This may not be a bad thing. Judging from their previous actions, these servants On weekdays, he must have done a lot of bullying and helping others. Since he has this strength, why not go to the battlefield and let it go to the battlefield, so as not to stay here and cause harm to others.

……

After the living room door closed.

Wu Liang and the others sat down again with Cheng Yu, then looked at Qiong'er who was lying on the ground and asked: "Miss Qiong'er, I have already stated the purpose of this trip, and now the shopkeeper has committed suicide, if you know what is the most important thing?" Let’s be honest, don’t force me and Cheng Taishou to torture you.”

"Forgive me, the general. As Zhangtai women, the servant girls are just servants who are driven by others. Many things are also forced to help..."

Qiong'er straightened her body, tears had already rolled down her face, sobbing softly, she said bitterly.

"I understand you, but you have to understand me too."

At this moment, Wu Liang's face no longer had the majesty just now, but he nodded empathetically, and sympathized like an old licking dog with a sperm on his head, "I also followed orders this time, let's be honest, the day before yesterday Did you use the 'nightmare technique' to capture some men at night? I'm not afraid to tell you that the identities of these people are not simple. If I can find these people safely, everyone will be happy. If I can't find them, it will not only be your lives No guarantee, even I will be punished, do you understand what I mean?"

"The servant girl understands."

Qiong'er nodded slightly, raised her hand to gently wipe away the tears on her cheeks, and finally said, "Don't dare to hide the general, the servant girl was indeed instructed by the shopkeeper the night before yesterday to persuade eight men to drink the special medicinal wine made by the shopkeeper. The man passed out shortly after drinking the medicinal wine, and then the shopkeeper brought several people whom he had never seen before, and tied them up to another place."

"Do you know where you were kidnapped? Have you ever been murdered?!"

Hearing this, Cheng Yu became nervous and leaned forward to ask eagerly.

"Returning to the official, the maidservant is just a servant. If she doesn't follow the shopkeeper, she will beat and scold the maidservant every day. She never treats the maidservant as a human being. How can the maidservant know about the shopkeeper?"

Qiong'er lowered her head and said softly, then sobbed bitterly, shrugged her red-eyed shoulders, her face was still charming despite some stains.

"Oh, how can this be good?"

Cheng Yu suddenly looked depressed, stood up, clapped his hands and walked back and forth, chattering non-stop, "If the eldest son cannot be found, or if the eldest son has already been killed, the king will definitely be furious..."

After babbling like this for a while, Cheng Yu suddenly stood still and said to Wu Liang: "General Wu, the servants outside may know something, and this old man suggests that they should be tortured and interrogated one by one. I don't believe they can't find anything!"

After speaking, he looked at Qiong'er again, his gaze gradually turned cold: "Think about it carefully, as long as it is a clue that you can think of that may be related to this, don't let it go, otherwise don't blame the old man for using torture to help you remember It's been a while!"

Cheng Yu is not a person who is easy to fool, if Qiong'er can't provide any clues, and Chen Liu's garrison fails to find Cao Ang and Cao Bin in Pinxiang Pavilion, he will definitely not let Qiong'er go easily , even prying to pry something out from between her teeth, torture is naturally out of the question.

After all, in history, when Cao Jun was desperate, he was a ruthless man who could use human flesh for food.

"The servant girl really doesn't know..."

Qiong'er quickly fell on the ground again, but in the middle of speaking, she seemed to suddenly think of something, raised her head and added with some hesitation, "My servant remembers that every time this servant is forced to dazzle people with medicine and wine, When the shopkeeper and those strangers came in and carried people out, they all went straight to the backyard of Pinxiang Pavilion, but the servant girl couldn't tell where they went."

"By the way, there was another time when the servant girl and a few sisters sneaked to the garden behind Pinxiang Pavilion to enjoy the flowers, and accidentally heard a few extremely dull animal calls near the rockery in the garden. Go to the garden at the back, and after learning about this, I punished the servant girls severely with a whip, and the servant girls couldn't lie down to rest for half a month, and from then on, they never dared to go to that garden again."

"rockery?"

Hearing this clue, Cheng Yu was shocked immediately, and said eagerly, "General Wu, this old man will take people to the garden to investigate, first dig the rockery three feet into the ground, then you can continue to interrogate, maybe you can find some clues !"

"Then there will be prefect Lao Cheng."

Wu Liang nodded and watched Cheng Yu go out.

until this time.

Only then did he look at Qiong'er who was still weeping in a pitiful state, and smiled with the corners of his mouth raised: "Miss Qiong'er, we cooperated well just now, and your relationship has been cleared up in this way."

"?"

Qiong'er was taken aback for a moment, then quickly wiped away her tears and said bitterly, "What the servant girl said is absolutely not half a lie, please learn from me, General!"

"Don't worry, I won't hand you over, you can only follow me, but when you get to me, you'd better tell me something that interests me."

Wu Liang said with a smile.
