Chapter 130 If you don’t eat the toast, you will be punished by drinking wine
Wonderful, it’s not over yet!
More than two hundred minions were thrown into the prison, and the empty prison suddenly became overcrowded. More than a dozen bloody heads were stacked in front of the county government gate, and the top one was Chen Sheng's head! Blood,
A small stream gathered together, dyeing the streets red. The Jingguan with more than a dozen heads stacked together seemed to be warning those who were up to no good: Deng Ji is not a soft persimmon...
After Cao Peng killed Chen Sheng, he did not return to the county government.
He asked Wang Mai and Deng Fan to clean up the mess, and then he and Xia Houlan went straight to the Chen Mansion with ten warriors.
At this time, the Chen Mansion did not know that Chen Sheng had become the target of Cao Peng's sword. Huang Yizheng directed the servants to clean the streets and hang colored lanterns at the door.
They were already prepared to create a big fanfare after killing Deng Ji.
Since Chen Sheng dares to kill officials, he is not afraid of trouble from the court. He has enough connections to make this matter disappear.
However……
Cao Peng and Xia Houlan took the lead and arrived at the gate of Chen's mansion.
The two servants stepped forward to stop Cao Peng, but before they could speak, Xiahou Lan jumped on his horse and twisted his spear, and stabbed Cao Peng when he was distracted. Neither of the two servants could figure out what happened, and Xia Houlan already
The two men were stabbed to death. Xia Houlan shook off the bodies on the silver gun by combining the yin and yang. The gun pointed at the servants in front of the Chen Mansion, with a strong murderous look on his handsome face.
"Everyone is listening. Chen Sheng plotted a rebellion and was found dead in the street.
You all immediately squat down and hold your heads with your hands... If anyone dares to resist, he will be killed on the spot. Cao Bing and Cao Shi came to search the entire Chen residence."
Huang Yi was also frightened by this sudden change!
But he had experienced the storm after all, and he immediately reacted: "Don't listen to the nonsense of the dog officer! The right way is to raise an army for a thousand days and use it for a while. The master treats us very well, so we should solve the master's problems. With people like them
, how can he be the master's opponent? If you are a hero, follow me and kill these dog officers. When the master returns, you will be rewarded... Brothers, why don't you all take action!"
I have to say that Huang Yi's words are very confusing.
I have to admit that Chen Sheng has been working hard for ten years and has indeed bought some confidants.
As soon as Huang Yi finished speaking, more than a dozen Mending family members picked up weapons and rushed forward.
Cao Peng's face sank and he suddenly snorted coldly.
He knocked the horse's belly with both feet, and then he neighed loudly and raised his hooves.
A servant rushed up to him, and without waiting for him to wave his weapon, Zhao Ye's white iron hooves brought a huge force and kicked him on the leg with a loud sound.
This horse, Zhao Yebai, had followed Xia Houyuan on thousands of miles of battles. What tragic scenes had he not seen?
I remember when Cao Cao and Lu Bu were fighting in Puyang, Zhao Yebai charged into the battle with Xia Houyuan on his back. He had seen many ferocious people, and he was just a servant, but Zhao Yebai didn't take it seriously. His hoofs kicked extremely fast and violently, only
Hearing a click, he kicked the doorman's leg into two pieces. Zhao Yebai, but equipped with a horseshoe, the power of the iron hoof was more fierce than usual...
Mending stood on one leg, but the other leg was cut in half.
Blood fell to the ground from the broken leg, revealing the white bones... It only made him scream in pain, and the weapon in his hand fell off.
Cao Peng had no expression on his face as he swung his sword on his horse and chopped Huashan with all his might.
Compared with when he was in Chenliu, Cao Peng's sword was more rounded.
It can be said that Cao Peng benefited a lot from the bitter battle with Lei Xu.
He practiced martial arts in his previous life and killed people in this life...
But to say that I have never seen a real master. Whether it is Dian Wei or Wei Yan, they have superb martial arts, but they have never fought with him to the death. The battle at Lutaigang was also the first time in Cao Peng's life that he fought with him.
Fighting against a person who was much smarter than him, the gains he gained could not be expressed in words. After lying in bed for half a month, Cao Peng never failed in his own skills.
It was more powerful than before. And the most important thing is that after that battle, Cao Peng's previous bottleneck state suddenly broke through... After his body recovered, his strength not only did not weaken, but became more powerful.
And the use of power has also increased several times.
This sword strike was like thunder and lightning, the sound was terrifying. The sword flashed, and the blood burst out...
The doorman was cut in half by Cao Peng from head to crotch. Blood was flowing and internal organs were scattered on the ground, which looked particularly terrifying.
"Which one is coming to die?"
Cao Peng was so angry that he let out a loud roar on his horse.
The power of the Eight-Character Mantra, combined with the Qi of his Dantian, made his roar look extremely powerful.
Unlike Xiahoulan who killed with a gun, Xiahoulan killed three people in that instant. However, the power caused was not as terrifying as Cao Peng's sword.
The men who had just rushed out a few steps were all frightened so hard that their faces turned pale and their legs became weak.
"Squat down!"
Ten warriors behind him followed Cao Peng and roared at the same time: "Squat down!"
Bang, someone threw away their weapons, held their heads in their hands, and knelt on the ground. When one person knelt, a group of people followed him...
Originally, Xia Houlan said that Chen Sheng's murder had made the Chen family's family members panic.
And Cao Peng's knife seemed to explain everything.
No one would doubt this news. Chen Sheng was so powerful and brought so many people with him, but they all died... Why should we fight?
When Huang saw that the situation was not good, he turned around and left.
In fact, it's not like he didn't know that Chen Sheng was in trouble.
Otherwise, how could the government officials appear outside the Chen Mansion so quickly?
However, he had his own little plan in mind. Huang Yiben planned to take advantage of the chaos outside to run back, wrap up the money and silk, and escape.
Little did he know that Cao Peng would solve all the troubles with just one blow of his sword.
Huang Yi didn't dare to linger, he just walked away.
Cao Peng has been paying attention to Huang Yi.
When this guy started, he screamed the loudest!
I saw Cao Peng urging his horse forward. Zhao Yebai completely ignored the steps in front of Chen's house and jumped up. At this time, Huang Yigang ran from the steps into the yard. Cao Peng said nothing and held a long knife in his hand.
As soon as it clicked, with a whoosh, he took off his hand and threw it away.
The bright long knife penetrated Huang Yi's back of the heart.
Huang Yiah screamed and was pinned to the ground alive by the seven-foot-long knife.
"Again, everyone squat down!"
Whoops, dozens of Mending slaves knelt on the ground with their heads in their hands.
This young master is really terrifying...
How could this young master, who looks quite handsome, kill people with such brutality? He kills without blinking an eye! Yes, he kills without blinking an eye!
Cao Peng was on his horse and turned to Xiahou Lan: "Xiahou, the solution to the battle is not how many people to kill, but how to kill them!
Sometimes, killing one person is more useful than killing ten or a hundred. It just depends on how you kill..."
Xia Houlan stood on the horse and held the gun in his hand, "Thank you for your teaching, Master!"
"let's go!"
Cao Peng shook the reins and walked slowly into Chen's house in the white light of the night.
At this time, it didn't look as fast as before, but there was an air of elegance in its slow walking...
Chen Sheng had a total of seven wives and five sons.
However, most people do not live in the city, but in villas outside the city.
The two close concubines knelt tremblingly on the ground. Their beautiful faces were pale and their delicate bodies were trembling. They were obviously frightened by Cao Peng and others!
Cao Peng, led by a domestic slave, went directly to Chen Sheng's study.
It was an independent small courtyard located in the Chen Mansion. Cao Peng dismounted at the door of the study and walked into the study.
I saw three rows of bookshelves in the study, with stacks of scrolls and bamboo slips on them, and many square boxes. I walked over and opened them, and found that the boxes contained gold, silver, and jade articles. There were not many of them.
Precious things, but Cao Peng was obviously not interested.
Walking to the desk, Cao Peng glanced at the things on the desk.
There seems to be nothing worth noting, but the pile of Zuo Bo paper must have made Deng Ji very satisfied! On the Zuo Bo paper, there is a copper Zhen Ruyi, which looks like a carp and is quite exquisite. The copper body has a faint hair.
Green, the fish scales on it are clearly visible.
Cao Peng stretched out his hand and took Tongzhen in his hand.
In this era, there is no such thing as paperweight. However, many people like to use this kind of item, which is considered a kind of elegance...
Cao Peng took the carp Ruyi in his hand and couldn't help being stunned.
Looking at the size and craftsmanship of this carp, this copper coin should be quite heavy. But when you hold it in your hand, it's not the case.
Could it be that it is empty inside?
Cao Peng fiddled with Tongzhen in his hands for a few times, but he couldn't find any information about the organization.
He tapped the desk with his fingers a few times, thought for a moment, then took the copper pen and walked out of the study.
"Pack up the books and papers inside for me... I hope to see them in the county government office after dawn!"
Cao Peng said to the servant who was leading the way.
The house slave quickly said: "I understand, little man."
"Remember, watch carefully, don't miss anything."
The slave is a smart guy, and he also knows that his master is in danger.
At this time, if you don't serve the young master in front of you... Tsk, tsk, tsk, this young master is a ruthless person who will not be merciful.
"The villain is just keeping an eye on this place, and he won't miss anything."
Cao Peng heard this and smiled.
He got on his horse and headed out.
The house slave stood upright at the door of the study, as if he was a loyal guard.
"Everyone was tied up with ropes, one by one. The women rushed to the room and were not allowed to enter or leave without permission." Cao Peng told Xia Houlan: "I'll leave it to you to deal with it. Remember to bring Chen Sheng's account books and slaves."
Find the list, and I will ask Hu Ban to come and collect it later."
"You will finally understand!"
Xia Houlan stepped in and took action with his men.
Cao Peng sat on the horse, shrugged his nose, and breathed out softly...
Push the time forward two days.
In the study room of the Haixi County Government Office, Deng Ji and Puyang Kai looked frowning.
Although they had made a plan to attack Chen Sheng, they did not expect that Chen Sheng would actually use an astonishing power to deal with them.
Throughout Haixi County, Deng Ji was isolated!
Externally, he seemed not to care.
But inside, Deng Ji was worried... Chen Sheng's second attempt to raise food prices put Deng Ji into an embarrassing situation.
"Brother-in-law, let's do it."
Cao Peng said to Deng Ji: "Chen Sheng is now ordering people to buy grain and rice from other counties. If this continues, it will become more and more difficult for us."
"But... are you sure you can get rid of Chen Sheng?"
Cao Peng shook his head, "The odds of winning or losing are 50 to 50, who can say that we will definitely succeed?
But brother-in-law, you have to understand that if we fail, even Xu Du will not be able to go back. Xun Shizhong and Guo Jijiu recommended you against all the odds, and the prefect Man and Xun Shangshu also expressed their support for you to come to Haixi. If we stay
If you don't go down, do you still have the nerve to go back and see them?
After we leave Xudu, we will either gain a foothold here or end up in a different place.
Brother-in-law, there is no second choice for you and me... The Overlord of Chu can still sink the boat, so why do you have to hesitate and hesitate?"
Pu Yangkai also expressed great agreement with Cao Peng's words.
Deng Ji scratched his head and said, "Chen Sheng has many minions under his command."
"How many can there be? Three hundred, five hundred... that's amazing! It's not very possible for him to have a thousand people in Haixi. Besides, he purchased grain and rice and sent out a large number of people. I guess
He is now in Haixi, with only two to three hundred people..."
"Two or three hundred people, that's all?" Deng Ji said angrily, "Afu, tell me, how many people do we have?"
"One hundred and sixty people."
"ah?"
Deng Ji was a little confused about the number reported by Cao Peng.
"When did we have so many people?"
"Brother-in-law, have you forgotten the patrolmen in Haixi County?"
"But haven't they already dispersed..."
"Yes, the patrols have dispersed, but their soldiers, Cao Yushi, are still in our hands. Although Magistrate Feng failed in Haixi, he is basically a good official and is more or less popular. Feng Chaoneng
Gathering a crowd to become thieves also shows that he has some prestige among the patrolmen.
In the past two days, I asked Feng Chao to secretly contact some of the original patrols.
In addition to the more than 30 people in the prison, he summoned more than 80 people...including the troops we brought, there are exactly 160 people. In addition, my second brother and third brother all have
Unstoppable courage; Uncle Zhou is also experienced in the battlefield and has excellent martial arts skills. Feng Chao is very good at shooting, and I even took in a good guy... Although that guy is greedy for money and very vulgar, his skills are not inferior to Uncle Zhou's.
"
"You're talking about the guy who sleeps all day?"
"It's him... His name is Pan Zhang, his courtesy name is Wengui, and he is a good player."
Deng Ji curled his lips and said teasingly: "Ah Fu, you are quite powerful. I went to the North Market and brought back a good player..."
"This, pure character, you know!"
Deng Ji was accustomed to Cao Peng's words that were ahead of his time from time to time.
Pu Yangkai suddenly said: "What should the Chen family do?"
"What Chen family?"
"Guangling Chen family... Although Chen Sheng is not a direct descendant of the Chen family, he is recognized by the Chen family after all.
If we take action like this, I'm afraid Chen's face will not look good... The Chen family belongs to the Guangling family, and Chen Yuanlong is your uncle's superior officer. Logically speaking, after you take office, you should go and visit. If you don't get along
Mrs. Chen’s greeting may not be appropriate.”
When Deng Ji heard this, he couldn't help but pat his forehead.
"If sir hadn't reminded me, I almost forgot about it...then, what should I do?"
"The most urgent task is to get Chen's approval first. But I'm afraid Shusun won't be able to leave for a while, and the others won't be able to be deployed for fear that they won't be Youxue, so Youxue must stay. Well, let me go for a while.
Let’s go to Guangling to pay a visit to Chen Hanyu.”
Chen Hanyu is Chen Deng’s father, Chen Gui.
"Sir, I heard that Chen Hanyu is not easy to deal with."
Puyang Kai smiled and said: "It doesn't matter...Early years ago, I sought advice from Chen Hanyu and had a chance encounter with him.
Chen Gui is a person who can distinguish between priorities... His heart belongs to the Han Dynasty, otherwise he would not bow down if Yuan Shu threatened his son when he became emperor. Chen Gui may not agree with what Chen Sheng did in Haixi.
It’s just that the imperial court had no time to take care of it before, and it was inconvenient for Chen Gui to come forward.”
Deng Ji pondered for a moment, then nodded in agreement.
After that, Cao Peng secretly ordered Feng Chao to take the eighty patrols summoned temporarily, accompanied by Zhoucang Pan Zhang, and Xu Yi, the chief of the army, to intercept the grain.
Deng Ji believed that Chen Sheng, with his temper, would never be able to tolerate such a tone.
The investment of tens of millions of dollars has been wasted, and it is unlikely that anyone can afford it.
Therefore, Deng Ji and Cao Peng both believed that Chen Sheng would sink his boat and commit such treason...
Its daybreak!
Carriages filled with grain slowly drove into Haixi County from outside the city gate.
For a time, Haixi County was boiling...
"Have you heard that Chen Sheng is dead?"
"No way, Mr. Chen was fine yesterday, how could he be dead?"
"Ha, you are confused, but you are really confused. Who is County Magistrate Deng? That is the Haixi Order appointed by the imperial court! After all, Haixi belongs to the imperial court. How can Chen Sheng be so arrogant and domineering? Look at him in front of him
If you listen to arrogance, one word from Magistrate Deng can kill him."
"That seems to be the case."
"If you don't believe it, go to the county government office and take a look... Chen Sheng's head is placed there."
"More than that!" A Haixi man came over and said in a low voice: "Early this morning, County Magistrate Deng issued a document ordering the Haixi Jia people to immediately adjust the grain prices back. Did you see that, those grain trucks are
Magistrate Deng’s methods! If those Jia people don’t listen, Magistrate Deng will immediately throw out the grain and suppress the price of grain... Haha, we Haixi won’t have to eat that high-priced grain in the future!”
Various discussions arise one after another.
However, the wind direction seemed to have changed dramatically overnight.
Deng Ji changed from a culprit who endangered the normal life of Haixi people to a father-in-law official who thought about the people.
The praise for him never stopped from the moment the grain truck drove into Haixi County...
The businessmen in Haixi County all looked sad.
In their hearts, they were about to scold Chen Sheng to death... If it weren't for Chen Sheng, they wouldn't have refuted Deng Ji's face yesterday. The county magistrate invited the eldest man, but no one came to the banquet. It's good now, I'm afraid it will happen again
If you want to go, people won't look good on you.
"What are you afraid of!"
Finally someone jumped out to comfort everyone.
"Master Chen is also a descendant of the Chen family after all. Deng Ji is so bold that he killed Master Chen. Prefect Chen may not let him go."
"That's right, that's right..."
The dejected Jia people suddenly became energetic.
"Then what should we do?"
"Just wait... Huh, Deng Ji can't be arrogant for long! Just watch, in a few days, Governor Chen will send someone over. By then, Deng Ji will not end well! In Haixi County, it's still us
Haixi County, let him be arrogant for a few days..."
The merchants stood at the door of the shop, whispering.
But when they saw the heads hanging on the flagpole of the carriage, their faces turned pale and their calves trembled!
