But the sky above the Su Mansion on Yongmen Street in Luoyang North City was gloomy. Yongmen Street is somewhat similar to Tongtuo Street. Most of the people living here are prominent figures in Luoyang. But at this moment, no one dares to step out of the door.
No one came forward to ask why.
There was that brave guy looking out from the crack in the door.
I saw that the street was empty, except for the heavily armed police officers lined up on both sides of the street, each with a murderous look on his face.
Tap tap tap...
Zhao Yebai walked down the doorstep leisurely, showing elegance.
"Everyone in Su Mansion heard the truth and immediately put down their weapons and stopped resisting.
This county is here today only for Su Wei. Anyone other than the Su family must step aside immediately, otherwise they will be considered treason and will be killed without mercy."
Chen Qun shouted loudly, and for a moment, everyone in the Su Family Nursing Home looked at each other in shock.
This sudden attack by the government did not allow the Su family to prepare in a hurry, so they hurriedly responded to the battle. Even before the confrontation, these guards did not know what happened. Moreover, the attire of the black men was not comparable to that of ordinary officers and soldiers.
Bi. Under the order of Butler Su, the guards stepped forward to stop him one after another, and a fierce, though not fierce, battle broke out.
The gravel-paved front hall road was almost stained red.
Corpses were lying on the roadside, looking extremely miserable...
Treason?
The Su family is actually involved in conspiracy!
The guards immediately became panicked, dropped their weapons and retreated to both sides.
This is not an ordinary family conflict. It involves treason. It means killing the whole family. These nursing homes only stepped in to stop them because of the generous rewards given by the Su family. But no matter how generous the rewards are, they are not as good as the butcher's knife of the court.
.Even if we can stop him this time, what about next time? When the imperial army is dispatched, no one can escape. You must know that Henan Yin is not a kind person today.
During the Battle of Yanzhou, Cao's army was short of military rations.
Cheng Yu, who was the Sima of Yanzhou at that time, actually used human flesh to make preserved meat as food.
It's definitely not a good thing to anger this guy.
However, there are still those tough people who still stand in the middle cabinet and resist tenaciously.
Most of these people were followers who came to Luoyang with Su Wei, and they were devoted to the Su family.
A big man shouted: "Brothers, our master has treated us well. How can we ignore the danger now? I have long heard that men in Luoyang have no loyalty. When I saw it today, it turned out to be true. It belongs to men, and they belong to men."
If you fight hard and get out of Luoyang, you will be safe."
Easy for you to say!
You are not from Luoyang, so if you escape from Luoyang, you will naturally have nothing to worry about.
But 60% of the nurses in this courtyard are locals from Luoyang. They have lived in Luoyang for generations, how could they just abandon their homes so casually?
Before the big man finished speaking, he only heard the sound of horse hooves.
"You are deceiving the public with your evil words, but you are still not decapitated!"
The night was as white as a meteor and lightning, rushing towards the middle pavilion. At a distance of seven or eight steps, he shook his hand and sent out an iron meteor.
The big man was caught off guard, and the iron meteor hit his forehead with a bang. Since the Seventh Transformation of Xi Jinping, Cao Peng's bone strength has become stronger and stronger. This iron meteor, carrying a huge force, smashed the big man's forehead bone into pieces.
His face was covered in blood and he fell to the ground.
"Get out of the way!"
Cao Peng shouted sharply.
Holding a halberd in one hand, it shines brightly into the night like a tiger descending from the mountain.
He rushed to the door of the middle pavilion, drew his halberd to the left and right, and struck twice in succession, sending the two guards flying out.
This is the most brutal method of slashing with a pole and a halberd. When the guard fell to the ground, a big hole was opened in his stomach, and blood was flowing gurglingly.
"If you don't surrender, you will be killed without mercy!"
Cao Peng reined in his horse and let out a loud roar.
This roar combined with Dantian Qi was like a huge thunder exploding in the air.
Coupled with his previous fierce fighting, the guards were terrified. The smart one immediately dropped his weapon and lay motionless on the ground.
Cao Peng sneered and turned to look at Chen Qun.
Chen Qun nodded, urged his horse and took the servants, and rushed into the middle pavilion.
————————————————————————
"Master, I can't bear it anymore. Let's leave quickly."
The old housekeeper burst into the back hall panting and shouted at Su Wei.
Su Wei smiled, walked over with a long sword in his hand, "Old Su, where are we going? This Luoyang must have been sealed off, and the four generals are out, where can we go? The Su family has raised you and me for many years, and now
It's time to show your loyalty...Old Su, you should take the first step."
As he spoke, he thrust out his sword and stabbed the old housekeeper to the ground.
Completely ignoring the horror on the old butler's face, Su Wei turned around and walked to the couch to sit down. He glanced at the jade bottle of suet on the table and then at the sword in his hand, showing a bitter smile. He placed the sword on the case.
He picked up the bottle, pulled out the stopper, gritted his teeth, raised his head and swallowed the poison in the bottle. Then, he took a deep breath, sat on the couch, closed his eyes, and waited quietly...
Now that he has reached this point, Solvay is no longer prepared to live.
However, he must leave a way for the Su family to retreat, and this is also the last thing he has to do.
The sound of horse hoofbeats sounded, and Chen Qun and Cao Peng came to the back hall. The two dismounted, and Cao Peng signaled Hei Qi to guard the back hall, and then he and Chen Qun walked into the hall.
"Chen Luoyang, Cao Beibu, I've been waiting for you for a long time!"
Su Wei opened his mouth with a smile, his expression extremely calm.
Death warrior!
This was Cao Peng's first feeling.
This kind-looking, short and chubby shopkeeper Su is undoubtedly a dead soldier of the Su family.
After taking one look at the body lying at the door, Cao Peng knew that Su Wei must have been prepared to die.
Chen Qun was not polite, walked to the side, shook off his clothes and sat down.
"Shopkeeper Su, I never thought that our third meeting would be under such circumstances. I was still thinking about how to cooperate with Shopkeeper Su to make Luoyang prosperous. It's a pity that Shopkeeper Su is involved in these messy things.
Inside, I am very disappointed."
"It's not Su's wish, so it's a last resort."
Su Wei coughed lightly and said to Cao Peng: "The death of Cao Bei and Zhu Bei was not Su's original intention.
When Zhu Beibu seized a batch of ordnance in Beimang, it was not a big deal. Su thought that he was 100% sure that it could be settled... However, it was not Su who made the decision here, and the Su family was also forcibly involved... Su
Su also objected at the time, but unfortunately it was not approved by others. That day, the old housekeeper in Zhu Beibu was drinking wine, and Zhang Yuanan ordered someone to change him on the way. When Su learned about it, he tried to stop it, but it was too late... I have said it before
, as a businessman, you rely on money to pave the way, and you are well-rounded... Killing people is not a big deal."
Cao Peng said: "Shopkeeper Su said this, is he asking for a living?"
"Survival?" Su Wei laughed, "Ever since they killed Zhu Bei, the old man knew that his way of survival was dead, so why should he survive?
I have been waiting for this day to come.
It's just that I didn't expect that they would be so cruel and commit murders so that this day would come early.
I have taken poison and cannot live long. I am here to wait for the two adults... The Su family has nothing to do with this matter. One day, Su hopes that the two adults can give the Su family a way to live. In exchange, I am here
There are all the currency certificates and correspondence. Haha, in fact, Su also knows that the two of you must have guessed the clues, but this is all Su can do."
On the desk in front of you, there is a stack of documents.
Cao Peng and Chen Qun looked at each other and signaled the two black men to come in and take away the documents.
"Chen Luoyang, I have a cruel request. May I ask if you can answer it?"
"What's the matter?"
"How did you guess it was me?"
Chen Qun hesitated for a moment, "Shopkeeper Su, if you are like a moth throwing yourself into the fire, don't blame others."
"oh?"
"Four consecutive murders in two days are enough to show that you have lost your bearings.
Cao Beibu believes that the reason for this is that you are ready to evacuate, so you try to eliminate the traces left by the past.
Shopkeeper Su still remembers Shi Afu?
At first, we all thought that Shi A was afraid of trouble and therefore fled Luoyang.
But how can the disciples of the Emperor be fearful of trouble? When Zhu Beibu was here, Shi A had assisted Zhu Bei Bei in tracking down clues. Unexpectedly, two disciples disappeared mysteriously. Later, Zhu Bei Bei was killed, and Shi A was determined to find out what happened.
The truth of the matter. So he tried to hide his name and sneaked into your house to explore the secret... Obviously, your previous killings were not well planned, but improvised, so Shi A could not predict it in advance. But Zhang Yuanan arrived, and Chen Bozhi was ready to go
, Shi A immediately informed his friends through his disciples.
And just yesterday afternoon, you asked for the pass document from my hands, doesn’t that explain everything?"
Su Wei couldn't help but laugh!
"I'm just saying, be careful in everything. Those people are too impatient and they won't get anything done..."
Cao Peng said: "Shopkeeper Su, let me ask you, where is Yueguan?"
Su Wei shook his head, "Yue Guan has not contacted us, so I don't know her whereabouts."
"real?"
"Chen Luoyang, at this point, do I need to hide anything more?"
Su Wei laughed loudly as he spoke. A violent cough stopped his laughter. Black blood spurted out of his mouth, staining his gray beard and chest.
Cao Peng's eyes narrowed as he watched Su Wei's breath getting weaker and weaker, his fat body sliding off the couch and falling to the ground.
Walking over, he stretched out his hand to feel Su Wei's breath, and then opened his eyes.
"bane."
Chen Qun's expression was a little complicated. After a while, he sighed softly.
"He is a man, but what a pity!"
After saying that, Chen Qun stood up.
"How to deal with these people in Su Mansion?"
"Take them together and wait until I report them to Duke Cheng before making a decision."
"Very good."
Cao Peng also stood up and walked out of the back hall with Chen Qun.
Standing on the doorstep, looking at the mess all over the courtyard, he shook his head and let out a sigh.
"Brother, do you have a decision?"
"kindness?"
"Some things cannot be hesitated...the earlier you decide, the more benefits you will get. If you waver, there will definitely be no results in the end."
Chen Qun's face darkened.
He could understand the meaning of Cao Peng's words, but this question...
In the Eastern Han Dynasty, the government was established based on clans. There were inextricably linked relationships between the Han Dynasty and the clans. Especially big clans like the Chen family of Yingchuan had been favored by generations of emperors. Suiming knew that the Han Dynasty might not be able to recover, but
In my heart, I still tend to prefer the Han Dynasty.
There are many people with this kind of thinking.
Xun Yu is one of them.
On the one hand, he knew that Cao Cao was the best candidate to end this troubled times; on the other hand, he did not want Cao Cao to be so powerful that in the end, the Han Dynasty would exist in name only. Chen Qun also had this idea, but
It was not as serious as Xun Yu. However, Cao Peng's words made him feel a little moved. If he decided to do it earlier, it would be more beneficial to the family. So, where should he go?
Chen Qun couldn't make a decision for a while.
——————————————————————————
The destruction of the Su family made people in Luoyang frightened.
No one knows which family will suffer next?
Especially when Meng Tan returned to Luoyang with the batch of weapons, people felt even more frightened. The heads of Zhang Liang and Chen Shao were hung on the gate of Luoyang. The heads dripping with blood made everyone
People are afraid of people. The powerful businessmen who are entrenched in Luoyang can see from this small move that Chen Qun is unusual. This guy seems elegant, but when it comes to killing people, he will never do it.
The huge Su family disappeared in one afternoon, and the majesty of the imperial court seemed to hang over Luoyang again.
"Youxue!"
"kindness?"
"Yesterday Meng Nannan dug up a body under the locust tree in the backyard of Zhu Dao's house."
"oh?"
"The body has been decomposed, but judging from the accessories it carried, it was a local man named Yulin.
This person worked in Xiangshan Residence and was favored by Zhu Dao. But for some unknown reason, he died in Zhu Dao's home. It should be Zhu Dao's doing."
Xiangshanju is a male brothel located in the east of the city.
Best wishes to Long Yang, Cao Peng has heard of this.
He seemed to have some impression of the name Yulin. In these years, the trend of Longyang was quite strong, and it was not surprising that many wealthy and powerful families had male molesters. I remember the first time I came to Luoyang, I was at the Bible Translation Station.
In the book, Yue Guan once mentioned this name, which made Zhu Dao angry. It must have been in this Yulin that Hongxing went out of the wall. Zhu Dao found out and killed him, and then buried him under the locust tree in his yard.
If this is the case, then there is an explanation for Zhu Dao's escape from Luoyang.
Someone must know about his killing of Yulin.
After Chi Zhong was killed, someone tried to use this incident to blackmail Zhu Dao, which forced Zhu Dao to flee Luoyang, thereby deceiving others and confusing the public.
However, Cao Peng was not very interested in this.
What he is concerned about is where Yue Guan has fled now?
"Brother, you can send out sea fishing documents."
"kindness!"
Cao Peng got on his horse and suddenly asked: "Brother, is there any news about Yue Pass?"
"not yet."
Chen Qun shook his head and said with some distress: "This guy seems to have disappeared out of thin air, there is no news at all.
However, I have ordered people to investigate this matter and we must find this person. If we cannot find this woman, the case will not be concluded..."
It can be seen that Chen Qun has great resentment towards Yue Guan.
This matter is not over yet!
Cao Peng smiled and urged his horse to go out.
When he was walking out of the gate of Su Mansion, he suddenly said: "Brother, Yuan Xuanshuo should speed up the report to the White Horse Temple Minister.
If we lock him up for two days, I'm afraid it won't be a long-term solution.
Let him go back tomorrow. After all, this person is well-known in Luoyang. If he is detained for a longer time, it may be detrimental to the eldest brother."
"kindness!"
Chen Qun said: "I have sent people to Xudu regarding this matter. It is estimated that Honglu Temple will have a reply by the end of this month."
He asked doubtfully: "Youxue, it seems that you are quite interested in Yuan Xuanshuo. Could it be that you are also interested in joining the disciples of the Buddha?"
"Ha, I'm not very interested in the pagoda either.
Brother, you should know that I am a disciple of an alchemist. I once had a teacher who is now practicing in Tiantai Mountain. How can I join the pagoda?"
Chen Qun knew a little about Cao Peng's early experiences.
He knew that when Cao Peng was a child, he learned to read with an alchemist and learned many strange things from that alchemist.
But Chen Qun didn't know that the alchemist was the famous Zuo Ci and Zuo Yuanfang.
"Sir, why do you want to help that Xuan Shuo?"
On the way back to the Northern Wei Mansion, Xia Houlan couldn't help but ask.
Cao Peng smiled slightly and said softly: "This Xuan Shuo is not simple..."
"oh?"
Xia Houlan asked again, but Cao Peng refused to answer.
However, the mysterious smile on his face made Xia Houlan even more curious.
——————————————————————————————————
Cao Hong led Deng Fan to the outside of Xudu City, covered with dust.
It was getting late, but he did not return home directly, but went straight to Sikong Mansion.
"Yanfa, you should go home first."
"ah?"
"How long has it been since you went back? When you come back this time, you can reunite with your family."
"Cao Duhu, what on earth is going on that my lord wants you to come back in such a hurry?"
"It probably has something to do with your brother... But don't ask so many questions and go home first. If anything happens, I will send someone to your door."
Cao Hong knew that Deng Fan's family lived with Cao Peng's family.
Deng Fan scratched his head, bowed his horse, and led four soldiers to Cao Peng's house.
Cao Hong, on the other hand, went straight to Sikong Mansion.
Outside Sikong Mansion, Cao Hong unexpectedly saw Cao Ren getting off his horse.
"Brother, why are you back too?"
"The lord ordered me to return immediately. After I got the news, I went back without stopping... Zi Lian, are you also following the lord's orders?"
Cao Hong nodded and looked at Cao Ren.
Both of them realized that something big must have happened.
Otherwise, Liu Bei in Runan is recruiting troops now, and his momentum is growing day by day. The pressure on Chen County and Liang County is not small. Recalling the two Liang County coaches at this time must be a big deal. As soon as they entered the door, they saw Dian Wei and
Xu Chu and Xu Chu stood outside the central pavilion with serious expressions.
"Zixiao, Zilian, you are finally here. My lord has been waiting for you for a long time. Come with me quickly."
It can be seen that Mr. Cao must have ordered Dian and Wei to wait here.
Without saying a word, Dian Wei led Cao Ren and Cao Hong into the back hall. Following the path covered with withered leaves, they arrived at a cross-courtyard gate after a while.
Outside the arch, Dianman and Xu Yi were on guard duty.
Seeing Cao Hong and Cao Ren, the second child hurriedly stepped forward to greet them.
Cao Hong and Cao Ren didn't even bother to return the courtesy. They just nodded as a greeting and followed Dian Wei into the courtyard.
In a small room of about one hundred square meters, Mr. Cao was sitting in the middle. On both sides, Guo Jia, Cao Chun, Xiahou Dun and others were sitting.
"Zixiao, Zilian, you are finally here."
Mr. Cao waved and motioned for the two of them to sit down.
Dian Wei stood on his own outside the house, alerting the surroundings.
"Fengxiao, what happened? The Lord called us back?"
When Cao Cao was not paying attention, Guo Jia lowered his voice and said: "My lord has called you back to discuss attacking Runan and annihilating Liu Bei."
When Cao Ren heard this, he was suddenly startled. He raised his head and looked at Mr. Cao...
