Cao Thief

Chapter 279 Lu Hunshan

The living person fell into the river, and there was no trace of it.

This incident seemed so bizarre that Cao Peng couldn't figure it out.You know, he saw that person being pushed off the car with his own eyes, so why did he disappear so strangely?The blood of criminal investigation in his previous life boiled up again, which made him have a strong curiosity.

"Fourth brother..."

As soon as Cao Peng opened his mouth, Zhu Zan stopped him.

"Ah Fu, I know what you want to do, but it will be dawn soon, and you have to leave for Mount Luhun. It is a great blessing for you to be able to worship Mr. Kong Ming this time, so don't miss it. As for this matter, I will investigate it with my heart. Since someone has been pushed into the river, there will be a person in life, but there will be a corpse in death... After dawn, I will report the Luoyang order to block the Luoshui River, and I will definitely find a clue The most urgent thing for you now is to pack up and get ready to go. It will take two days to go to Luhun."

Cao Peng thought for a while and nodded in agreement.

In any case, although he has the title of riding captain for nothing now, he has no real power.To put it bluntly, this case happened in Luoyang, and it was a matter between Luoyang Ling and Zhu Zan.If he was too enthusiastic, wouldn't it mean that Zhu Zan and the others were incompetent?
Although he and Zhu Zan are sworn brothers, Zhu Zan may not be happy to do so.

This is not only a matter of responsibility and power, but also includes the faces of Luoyang's officials up and down.

If a homicide occurs, I, Luoyang officials, should be responsible. If you, a captain riding a horse, come to point out, what kind of thing is it?
In later generations, this kind of thing often happens.

The police said it was cooperation, but in fact, if the case happened in the local area, the local police would definitely not like the outside police to point fingers and intervene in it.

Cao Peng is not stupid, although Zhu Zan did not explain, but he has already understood the meaning.

Scratching his head and smiling awkwardly, Cao Peng said, "Fourth Brother, don't worry, I'll just take a look and I'll set off at dawn."

Zhu Zan patted him on the shoulder and said no more.

Guo Huan and Bu Luan were packing up, while Xia Houlan took people to prepare the chariots and horses.

Cao Peng stood on the steps of the vestibule of the northern lieutenant's office, watching two servants push a car in, so he jumped down the steps and walked over.

"Son!"

The servants hurriedly saluted.

Cao Peng said, "But that car by the river?"

"Exactly."

He circled the cart twice, fixed his gaze, and stepped forward to pick up a piece of dirt from the cart.

"You said, why is there mud on this car?"

The two servants looked at each other, and one of them said with a smile: "Young master, this cart is originally a tool for storing sundries. Sometimes messy things are piled on it. It's normal to have dirt. My family also has a cart." The cart is dirtier than this car."

"is it?"

Cao Peng thought for a while, nodded, and accepted the answer.

"Young master, let's push him to the warehouse first."

"Is this thing stored in the warehouse?"

"Yeah, it's not actually a warehouse. It's just a room where things are stored. It's very messy. Zhu Beibei said that the cost of this kind of cart is not cheap. If someone loses something important, he will definitely come to pick it up. So keep it safe first." , and then make a decision based on the situation.”

"Alright, then be careful."

Cao Peng smiled, turned and left.

It's really fucking confusing... But with the ability of the fourth brother and the assistance of Luo Yang, it shouldn't be too difficult to find the murderer.

Generally speaking, for the government to file a case, a corpse is required.

As long as the body is found, everything can be revealed.

"My lord, everything has been packed."

"Then let's get ready to go."

Cao Peng rubbed his nose and walked in.

At this time, it was already dawn, and Mrs. Zhu had already got up, was holding the child, and was about to go out.

Zhu Zan was not at home, saying that he had just left the house and went to Luoyang Ling to file a case and ask for help.Mrs. Zhu said that Zhu Zan said when he was going out that he would not send Cao Peng on the road, and asked Cao Peng to be careful all the way.

As she said that, Mrs. Zhu ordered someone to fetch a package and handed it to Cao Peng.

"This is something your fourth brother prepared for you. When you arrive in Luhun, if you need anything, please let me know. Anyway, Luoyang is not far away, and it is very convenient for you to need anything."

Inside the package is a piece of Zuo Bo paper and a volume of "Lun".

"Your fourth brother heard that you like to read "Lun", so he asked someone to find this volume of "Lun" as a gift for you to study and learn from a teacher. He said that this "Lun" was written by Cai, Cai...Cai Yong, that’s right, it’s Cai Yong’s annotated book, it’s also Dongguan’s book collection, and your fourth brother took a lot of effort to find it.”

A volume of "The Analects of Confucius" contains a strong brotherhood.

Perhaps Mrs. Zhu didn't know how precious the "Analects of Confucius" annotated by Cai Yong was, but Cao Peng knew it very well.

In later generations, the Analects of Confucius has many versions.But most of them are based on the Analects of Confucius annotated by Zheng Xuan, and gradually developed later; as everyone knows, Cai Yong was a master of Confucian classics in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, whose reputation was not inferior to that of Zheng Xuan.The Analects he wrote were preserved in Dongguan, a royal collection.Only later, Cai Yong's literature was almost lost, and this volume of Cai's Annotated Analects was known to no one, including Cao Peng.But Cao Peng knew that since it was taken from Dongguan, it must be extremely precious, so how could he not express his gratitude?

Zhu Zan is a workaholic, since he said so, there is no need to wait for him.

So, Cao Peng stepped into Zhaoyebai, Guo Huanbuluan boarded the carriage, and outside the gate of the northern lieutenant's office, they bid farewell to Mrs. Zhu and left with a whip.

It was already dawn, and the twenty city gates of Luoyang had all been opened.

Cao Peng walked along Tongtuo Street, went up the main street, and went straight to Yongmen...

Outside Yongmen, Shi A was waiting for Cao Peng and his party with a food box.

"Daxia Shi, why are you here?"

"My lord, the journey to Luhun is bumpy. Shi A doesn't have much to offer, so I prepared Luoyang's unique snacks, and you can taste them on the way.

This time he came to Luoyang in a hurry, and Shi A couldn't give him a good reception.

Next time, when the son comes to Luoyang again, he must let Shi A do his best as a landlord. "

The snacks in the food box are hot, obviously just out of the oven.

Although Shi A is rather reckless, it has to be said that this guy is a person who values ​​affection and has a very delicate mind.

Cao Peng was also polite, took the food box from Shi A, and gave Bu Luan away to put it away.

"Shi Daxia, next time I come to Luoyang, I will definitely disturb you."

"It's a word."

Cao Peng got on his horse again and bid farewell to Shi A.

Watching Cao Peng and his party drift away, Shi A breathed a sigh of relief.

"Master, then Cao Peng is just a riding captain with no real power. Why do you value him so much? Didn't the Second Young Master send someone to deliver a letter before, asking you to return to Xudu and teach him swordsmanship? With the Second Young Master here, you Why bother with a little cavalry captain?"

The second son refers to Cao Pi.

Although Shi A took over the Shengshi Casino, he did not resign from Cao Pi's swordsmanship teaching position.

His background, as well as his experience, are doomed not to be an official.Back then, Shi A's teacher, Wang Yue, as the emperor's swordsmanship teacher, sought an official position all his life, but in the end he was empty-handed.Shi Abi doesn't like Wang Yue, but there is one thing that he sees more clearly than Wang Yue...

Since the Han Dynasty, rangers have become popular.

Many descendants of powerful and noble families are vying to be knight-errants, which makes this knight-errant look very good.

But in fact, a real ranger can't get on the stage.Black is black, and it is impossible to paint it into white.Without a good background, being a ranger is tantamount to ruining one's official career.Therefore, from the very beginning, Shi A was unwilling to hang out in the officialdom.

I would rather guard a hero building and get to know the heroes of the world.

Shi A, you walked very safely...

The one who spoke was Shi A's apprentice named Miao Xu.

Shi A smiled, and said softly: "Second Young Master is Second Young Master, Young Master Cao is Young Master Cao... It's heartbreaking, you don't understand the mystery here."

Miao Xu looked bewildered!
--------------------------

In March of the fourth year of Jian'an, Yuan Shu retreated to Jiangting.

Historically, he died in June.

The reason is that after Liu Bei reoccupied Xuzhou, although he was ordered to stop Yuan Shu, he refused to use his full strength.Now, Liu Bei fled to Qingzhou, panic like a bereaved dog.Deng Ji and Chen Deng teamed up and divided their troops into two groups, chasing and beating Yuan Shu fiercely without letting go.

As a result, when Yuan Shu fled to Jiangting, he only had thirty dendrobiums of food and grass left in his hands.

He was very angry and wanted to drink honey syrup to relieve his cough.But it is this small request that cannot be fulfilled...

Sitting on the bed, Yuan Shu shouted, "Yuan Shu also has today."

Anger stagnated, resulting in great anger, and he vomited blood and died.The majestic family of four generations and three fathers ended up with a bleak ending, which no one could have imagined.After Yuan Shu's death, his younger brother Yuan Yin did not dare to return Shouchun, so he took the parts and escorted Yuan Shu's coffin and Yuan Shu's wife and children, and wanted to go to Lujiang... Who knows, Lujiang has been captured by Sun Ce at this time, and Liu Xun is here. After the city was broken, he disappeared.

Yuan Yin and his party are falling into the hands of Sun Ce!
After Sun Ce won Danyang and Lujiang, his strength skyrocketed.

At the end of March, he led his troops to garrison Dantu, eyeing Guangling.

All of a sudden, the situation in the two Huaihe Rivers rose again.Cao Cao quickly ordered general Zhu Ling to lead his troops to garrison Peiguo, and was ready to reinforce Chen Deng at any time.At the same time, Deng Ji, the captain of Haixi Tuntian, was ordered to recruit soldiers and horses.On March 27, Sun Ce's troops divided into two groups and attacked Guangling across the river from Dantu.

Along the way, led by Sun Ce himself, captured Jiangshui Temple.

On the other side, Sun He, commander in chief, led by Lu Meng, the leader of Dantu, captured Dongling Pavilion, trying to attack Guangling County in two ways, and captured Guangling in one fell swoop.

Wei Wangmai, the agricultural capital of Guangling, pleaded for reinforcements from Haixi in Yu Hailing!

————————————————————————

The flames of war in Jianghuai ignited, but Cao Peng knew nothing about it.

At this time, he was on his way to Mount Luhun...

Luhun Mountain was named Kongsang in the Shang Dynasty.During the Spring and Autumn Period, the Qin and Jin Dynasties moved Lu Hun's army here, so the name Lu Hun came into being.During the Warring States Period, this place belonged to the capital of South Korea.After the Han Dynasty, there was Luhun County, which was under the jurisdiction of Hongnong County.Cao Peng didn't walk too fast all the way, enjoying the scenery along the way while hurrying.When we arrived at Luhun, it was already dark.So Cao Peng and Xia Houlan first visited the county magistrate of Luhun County, asked where Hu Zhao lived, and stayed at the official post in Luhun County that night.

Luhun Mountain, three hundred miles away, comes out of Yishui.

If you want to find Hu Zhao in the vast mountains, the best way is to go through the government first.

The next morning Cao Peng left Luhun's official post and went straight to Wolong Valley.Hu Zhao's reputation is very famous, and he established an academy in Luhun Mountain to educate the people, so it is not difficult to inquire.

However, Cao Peng found it strange.

Two Kongming, one named 'Wolong', Gengdu and Nanyang Wollongong; the other lives in Luhun Wolong Valley...

Could it be that there is any connection between these two Wolongs?
In other words, people named Kong Ming like the word "Wolong"?
Cao Peng couldn't help laughing when he thought of this...

Wolong Valley is located in the east of Luhun, three hundred miles away from Luoyang, in the hinterland of Luhun Mountain.

Cao Peng traveled all the way, inquired all the way, and soon found the location of Crouching Dragon Valley.The area of ​​Wolong Valley is huge. The so-called Hu Zhao lived in Wolong Valley is actually just a very vague concept.Entering Wolong Valley, the stream is curved and rugged like a snake.

The fragrant grass in the forest is lush and majestic, and small stone pools can be seen from time to time, embellishing the scenery.

In the pool, the soft sand and stones reflect the shadows of fish.The vehicle could no longer move, so Guo Huan Buluan got off the vehicle, Cao Peng and others got off their horses one after another and marched on foot.The two girls, who may have never seen such a beautiful scenery, laughed constantly along the way, stopped from time to time, and played and played.

Cao Peng didn't urge him, but just watched from the sidelines.

Just like that, walking and walking, unknowingly passed Heilongtan, Diaotan, Bailongtan, Laolongwo...

The scenery in front of me suddenly changed, and it suddenly became clear.

In the deep valley, a secluded village is quietly located on the bank of Wolong Lake.

The village doesn't look too big, there are about dozens of families.Seemingly messy, they are scattered in an orderly manner beside the Crouching Dragon Pool, exuding a sense of tranquility.

"Old man, dare to ask Mr. Hu Zhao, can you live here?"

Xia Houlan stopped a woodcutter and asked politely.

The woodcutter smiled slightly, "Did you come to pay homage to Mr. Kong Ming?"

"Ah, how does the old man know?"

The woodcutter laughed loudly, "This Wolong village is far away in the mountains and is located in a remote place. Although the young man over there looks simple in his clothes, he has an extraordinary bearing. With so many of you coming here, it's not just for sightseeing What else is there to do besides calling on Mr. Kong Ming?

Brother, tell your son, Mr. Kong Ming is very strict in accepting apprentices.

In the past two years, many young men from rich families came to study as teachers, but they were either driven away or turned away... If it was just for the sake of fame, in my opinion, there is no need for it.Mr. Kong Ming selects his disciples strictly, and in the past two years, only one person has been included in the door... Take care, you guys. "

The mountain people are very simple, and there is a bit of politeness in their words.

Cao Peng listened to it, and couldn't help but secretly marveled.

After Xia Houlan thanked the woodcutter, she returned to Cao Peng.

"My lord, it seems that Mr. Kong Ming is not easy to deal with."

Cao Peng didn't say a word, he had a bird's-eye view of the village beside the secluded pool. After a while, he suddenly smiled, holding the rein of the horse in one hand, and a bamboo stick he had brought from the mountain in the other, and strode down the mountain with big strides.Xia Houlan and the others were startled, and hurriedly followed.

The young master raised his hands and feet, showing his majesty, without the slightest hint of humility.

The woodcutter said that Mr. Kong Ming was extremely strict in choosing apprentices.If the young master acts so arrogantly, although Sikong recommends him, it may not be able to make Kong Ming bow his head.

So what should I do?
