Cao Thief

Chapter 204 Tragedy ([-])

The auspicious time is approaching, Cao Peng, as a book boy, is naturally not qualified to watch the ceremony.

He, Xia Houlan and the others could only sit outside, eating and drinking with a group of generals and servants.This is an era of strict hierarchy and clear distinctions between superiors and inferiors.Don't think that Xun Yan would let Cao Peng accompany him at ordinary times, but on such a big occasion, Cao Peng must abide by the rules of this era.Even if Xun Yan valued him more, in the eyes of others, he was just a book boy.If you sit at the same table, it will inevitably cause many people to be unhappy.As for Xun Yan, he would also be branded as ignorant of etiquette and insulting to gentleness.This is definitely not something Xun Yan can afford.

Children of aristocratic families have the glory of children of aristocratic families.

But again, they have to shoulder many responsibilities.

Therefore, Xun Yan had no choice but to wrong Cao Peng and others.Fortunately, Cao Peng didn't care too much about it, and he didn't want to stay among a group of elders, it didn't feel good.

Sitting at the banquet outside the village, looking at the brightly lit Lujiazhuang, Cao Peng was not in a calm mood.

While talking softly with Xia Houlan, at the same time, he pricked up his ears to listen to the conversations between the generals and servants.Cao Peng hoped to get some useful information from the conversation among these servants.But unfortunately, most of what he heard was useless news.

The house slaves dare not make irresponsible remarks about the affairs of the master's house.

In case that sentence is not correct and it reaches the ears of the master's family, then life would be worse than death.

Therefore, when everyone talked, most of them talked about three to four points, and no one dared to joke about the affairs of the Lord's family, lest it would lead to a murderous disaster.

Generally speaking, the content of the conversations of these generals and servants was nothing more than some boring gossip, which made Cao Peng feel dull.

"Ah Fu, what happened to you today?"

Xia Houlan looked at Cao Peng uneasy, and couldn't help asking softly.

Cao Peng scratched his head and said with a wry smile: "How would I know? I always feel that something might happen today! But I can't tell the reason..."

"Which matter?"

"I have no idea!"

After Cao Peng finished speaking, he looked bitter.

Xia Houlan also shook her head helplessly, "Then I really can't help you."

Cao Peng smiled and pushed the drink in front of Xia Houlan.

He closed his eyes, trying to calm himself down.At this time, the Twelve Sections of Brocade Jing Gong produced a huge effect, and Cao Peng's agitated mood gradually calmed down.At the same time, a conversation beside him came to his ears, which aroused his strong interest.

"I heard that Miss Lu is still unmarried?"

"Well, Miss Lu is almost [-] this year... I have heard people say that she is good at all kinds of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and she is also very beautiful. But I don't know why, so far she refuses to marry. In the past two years, many people have come to propose marriage, but Miss Lu has been refusing to nod. In the past two years, she has grown older, so fewer people came to propose marriage...God knows why."

"I heard something, and I don't know if it's true."

"Oh?"

"I heard people say that Miss Lu... seems to like Mr. Lu."

"Which Mr. Lu?"

"Nonsense, which Mr. Lu are you talking about...Of course it is Mr. Lu who got married today."

"It's unlikely. They have the same surname Lu, and they are from the same room. How could it be possible...Miss Lu is Mr. Lu's cousin, which is against Chang Lun. Dude, you can't talk nonsense. The young master knows, maybe he will take your life."

"Am I a fool?" The slave lowered his voice and said, "I also heard this matter mentioned by chance... You must keep your mouth shut, if someone hears about it, I will be in bad luck... ...It is said that Miss Lu has written many love letters with Mr. Lu."

"Really?"

"What did I lie to you... In short, if this matter comes out of my mouth and into your ears, I won't admit it to death."

"I know I know!"

Another house slave laughed and said: "I never thought that Miss Lu, who is so quiet and quiet, would do such a thing... Hehe, it's against Chang Lun, it's against Chang Lun! Fortunately, his Lu family is also a famous family." The famous family, but such scandals happened...By the way, are Mr. Lu and Miss Lu really..."

"I'm not sure about that."

The two house slaves whispered to each other, and then changed the topic.

Cao Peng opened his eyes suddenly, and turned to look at the two servants.

"Afu, what's wrong?"

Xia Houlan noticed that Cao Peng's expression was wrong, and asked quickly.

"I think, I know!"

"what do you know?"

Cao Peng didn't answer right away, he stood up suddenly and was about to go into the yard.

"Afu, what happened?"

Xia Houlan also stood up quickly, took two quick steps, and caught up with Cao Peng.

"Human life is at stake, human life is at stake..."

Before he could finish his sentence, he suddenly heard a noise and noise from the yard.Immediately afterwards, someone shouted: "Something happened, something happened!"

The two house slaves ran out of the yard in a hurry, looking extremely flustered.

Cao Peng gave a chill to Lingling, hurriedly took two steps, and grabbed the slave's arm: "What happened?"

"You let me go..."

The house slave obviously didn't want to talk nonsense with Cao Peng, and wanted to get rid of Cao Peng's hand.

However, Cao Peng's hand was like iron tongs, firmly clasping the slave's arm.Seeing that the slave didn't cooperate, Cao Peng became angry. As soon as he exerted force with his hand, the slave immediately screamed.

Another servant hurriedly said: "My young master and Miss Gu suddenly passed out... Dude, please hurry up and get out of the way, we have to go to see Mr. for treatment."

Cao Peng's heart skipped a beat, and he let go of the slave's arm.

The two house slaves didn't bother to argue with Cao Peng, and hurried out.

Cao Peng and Xia Houlan ran all the way and broke into the courtyard.At this moment, the yard has become a mess...

"Sir, what happened?"

Cao Peng saw Xun Yan standing in the crowd with a look of panic at a glance.

Seeing Cao Peng approaching, Xun Yan let out a sigh of relief, "Bo Yan and Ms. Gu suddenly passed out, it seems that they have been poisoned..."

"what?"

Cao Peng blurted out, "Take me there quickly."

"you?"

"Sir, it's important to save people."

Although Xun Yan didn't know whether Cao Peng had the ability to save people, but after hearing what he said, he didn't care too much, and dragged Cao Peng to go inside.

"Yuan Tan, Yuan Tan..."

In the lobby, a middle-aged man with gray temples was squatting helplessly next to a woman in auspicious clothes.

Hearing Xun Yan's call, he hurriedly looked back, "Xiu Ruo, what's the matter?"

"My Tong'er said that it can save people... It may be too late to wait for the master to come at this time, why don't I, Tong'er, try it?"

"This one……"

The middle-aged man showed hesitation.

After all, this human life is at stake, and it would be a bit rash to put two lives in the hands of a boy.

But what Xun Yan said was not wrong, if the doctor couldn't come for a while, wouldn't it delay the lives of two people?

Cao Peng stepped forward quickly and came to the side of a man and a woman who passed out in the hall.He knelt down to check the situation of the two of them.Lu Xun's lips were black, and his expression was very calm; while the situation of the young girl was better, although her lips showed signs of blackening, she still had breath.

"Go to the saponins and clear water."

"what?"

"Don't ask so many questions, take it first and then talk."

The house slave glanced at the middle-aged man, and the middle-aged man nodded.

After a while, the house slave fetched saponins and water.Cao Peng didn't care too much, picked up the saponins and rubbed them in clear water, and at the same time nervously observed the situation of Lu Xun and Miss Gu.Obviously, Lu Xun was seriously poisoned, while Ms. Gu's condition was relatively good.

"Sir, how did they get poisoned?"

Before Xun Yan could answer, the middle-aged man spoke first, "Bo Yan and Xiao Qi just finished worshiping heaven and earth, drank a glass of wine together, and were about to enter the room, but this happened."

Cao Peng nodded, found a water bowl, scooped up a bowl of water, dragged Lu Xun up, and poured saponin water into his mouth.But Lu Xun clenched his teeth tightly, and the saponin water couldn't be poured in no matter what.Cao Peng gritted his teeth, lowered his head to Lu Xun's mouth, and blew hard.After taking a sip of saponin water, he blew, and forced the saponin water into Lu Xun's stomach.

"Find a woman, follow my method, and pour it into Miss Gu."

The middle-aged man finally came to his senses, and hurriedly asked Miss Gu to pour soapy water.

At the same time, several domestic slaves brought clear water, fetched saponin, and imitated Cao Peng's method to make saponin water.About two bowls of water were poured in, Miss Gu trembled, and spouted water from her mouth and nose.

"Go on, don't listen, let her spit it all out."

The taste of soap locust water was really unpleasant. After Cao Peng poured Lu Xun a few mouthfuls, he couldn't help but vomit.

A teenager hurried forward, "Let me do it."

Cao Peng recognized this boy as Lu Kang's son, Lu Ji.

In terms of seniority, Lu Ji is Lu Xun's uncle.But in fact, he is younger than Lu Xun, only 11 years old.

Cao Peng handed Lu Xun to Lu Ji, stood up, and went to Miss Gu to check.Miss Gu's poisoning was obviously much lighter than Lu Xun's, so after drinking a few bowls of water, she woke up and vomited loudly.She is actually quite delicate and pretty.It's just that her face turned blue, and at the same time, because of violent vomiting, Miss Gu's hair was messed up, and she looked very embarrassed.

"Miss Gu should be fine."

"What about my brother?"

Lu Xun's younger brother, Lu Mao, couldn't help but stepped forward to ask.

Cao Peng glanced at him and said softly: "Young Master Lu and Miss Gu drank a glass of wine together, maybe they drank too much, so the situation is more serious..."

Before he finished speaking, Lu Xun suddenly coughed violently, saponin water sprayed out from his mouth and nose, and immediately vomited.

The sour-smelling vomit sprayed all over Lu Ji.

Lu Ji couldn't help frowning...

"Press his stomach and make him vomit."

Cao Peng stepped forward quickly, put his hands on Lu Xun's abdomen, and squeezed hard.Every time he squeezed it, Lu Xun's mouth and nose would spit out saponin water.

The middle-aged man watched nervously, closed his eyes for a long time, and breathed out a foul breath.

"Xiu Ruo, thank you very much...You boy, you are not ordinary."

In fact, this method of enema gastric lavage is not too complicated.In the Eastern Han Dynasty, people used fecal water enema to wash the stomach, and the effect was not much different from saponin water.Xun Yan also heaved a sigh of relief, and patted his chest, "You and I might as well be calm like a boy."

"Yes!"

The middle-aged man gave a wry smile, and his expression suddenly changed.

He picked up a copper baron from the ground, gritted his teeth and said, "Who is it? Who poisoned us and wanted to murder us?"

"The person who poisoned him didn't target everyone, but only Mr. Lu and Ms. Gu."

"what?"

When the middle-aged man heard Cao Peng's words, he was startled first, and then showed shock and anger.

"Who did it?"

Cao Peng looked at the people in the hall, and seemed to be a little hesitant.

The middle-aged man winked, and he immediately understood that Cao Peng was scruples.

He quickly ordered people to invite the guests out of the hall, and then sealed off the hall.In addition to the Lu family's brothers, there was Miss Gu's father, the middle-aged man and Xun Yan.

"Ah Fu, you..."

Xun Yan couldn't help looking at Cao Peng worriedly.

"This is Shangyu Chief Gu Yong Gu Yuantan, if you... have anything to say, just say it."

Cao Peng hesitated for a moment, then said softly: "Dare to ask Mr. Lu, is there a cousin?"

Lu Ji raised his head, looked at Cao Peng vigilantly, and said, "What do you mean by that? Boyan has a cousin, the daughter of my elder brother.

The eldest brother died in battle in Lujiang, leaving only this daughter under his knees.Don't talk nonsense, my cousin watched Boyan grow up, how could it be..."

"If it's possible, you might as well invite Miss Lu to come and ask."

"If you dare to talk nonsense, don't blame me for being rude to you."

Lu Ji roared angrily, and ordered people to go to the back house, asking Miss Lu to come.Lu Mao and other Lu family teenagers looked at Cao Peng with hatred.Obviously, what Cao Peng said just now made them very angry.Because the meaning in Cao Peng's words is clearly accusing that Miss Lu, the cousin who took care of them since childhood, is the murderer who poisoned Lu Xun and Miss Gu.

The parents of the Lu Xun brothers died early, and Miss Lu took care of them when they were young.

Her name is cousin, but in the eyes of Lu Hao and others, Miss Lu is like their mother.

Even though Cao Peng saved Lu Xun and Miss Gu, he still made the Lu family brothers angry by slandering Miss Lu as a murderer.

Gu Yong's expression was gloomy.

"Sister Wan, definitely not the murderer."

Cao Peng didn't refute, or even speak, but just stood aside quietly, without saying a word.

Gu Yong also had a dignified expression, and he vaguely felt that there seemed to be a scandal of human relations involved in it.He lowered his head and remained silent, while Xun Yan was very nervous. He looked at Cao Peng, then at the unconscious Lu Xun and Miss Gu, not knowing how to deal with this situation.

He believed that Cao Peng would not be aimless.

But if Cao Peng made a mistake, it would be tantamount to offending the children of the Lu family.

At that time, how will he end up for Cao Peng?
"It's not good, the big thing is not good... The eldest lady has also been poisoned, she, she, she... Hurry up and be the eldest lady."

Just when the hall was in an unspeakably embarrassing situation, a maid stumbled and ran out from the inner hall with a panicked look on her face.

"What did you say?"

"Miss, Miss, something happened to her!"

The maid yelled in fear, causing the hall to fall into panic again.

"You, you, you..." Lu Ji pointed at Cao Peng and said angrily, "If Wan'er is a murderer, how can she be poisoned. You slander my Lu family's reputation, and I will never stop with you."

After he finished speaking, he left in a hurry, Lu Mao and the others gave Cao Peng a vicious look, and followed Lu Ji to the back house.

Gu Yong, on the other hand, stared at Cao Peng with a vigilant gaze.

Xun Yan asked softly: "Ah Fu, what's going on?"

But Cao Peng closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and said to himself, "Sir, there are some things...you and I can't stop them after all!"
