Kneeling on the ground was a young man, who looked about twenty-one or twelve years old.
He has thick eyebrows, big eyes, and a strong physique. He is wearing a patched gray slanted collared short jacket, and a pair of thin-soled cloth shoes. He stands up, about 180 centimeters tall, and exudes a heroic spirit. Cao
When Peng saw it, he couldn't help but feel very strange.
Is this young man seeking to complain to me?
No wonder Cao Peng was surprised. Logically speaking, if someone complained about an injustice, it should be the Xu County Yamen, not him.
Speaking of which, Cao Peng is a military official and has no jurisdiction over local affairs. Even Cao Ji only has the power of public security and no jurisdiction...
Waving his hand to signal the people around him to get out of the way, Cao Peng stepped forward and looked him up and down.
“Young Master, it’s unfair, it’s unfair!”
"Man, you have been wronged. You should go to the Xu County County Government to file a complaint. Why do you want to complain to me?"
"Sir, the one I want to sue is County Magistrate Xu!"
Cao Peng's brows were startled and he couldn't help but frown.
At this time, Cao Ji happened to walk out of the house. Seeing this scene, he felt strange, so he shouted: "Youxue, what happened?"
When it goes out, it calls out the name of the breast; when it goes in, it calls out the name of the breast.
When there are no outsiders, Cao Ji will call Cao Peng "Afu", but in front of outsiders, Cao Ji will call Cao Peng by his cousin. After being an official for several years, Cao Ji has learned the rules of the officialdom.
Quite a few. This is official and also for Cao Peng's face.
Cao Peng said: "Dad, this man stopped me to complain, saying he wanted to sue County Magistrate Xu."
"oh?"
Cao Ji stepped forward and asked in a deep voice: "Do you want to sue County Magistrate Xu?"
"Exactly!"
"May I have your name?"
"The villain's name is Niu Jin. He was originally from Chen County, Yuzhou. Last year, he came to Xu County with his mother and brother. Fortunately, Sikong was kind and opened a warehouse for relief, so that my family of three could survive. The villain knows that what he did today was against the rules.
, but for the sake of my brother, I have to come and file a complaint. My brother is not the perpetrator. He can’t even ride a horse, so how could he hit Madam Cao with his horse..."
"Wait a minute, wait a minute, what's your brother's name?"
Cao Peng heard the clues. It seemed that this matter was related to his family.
"Brother villain, his name is Niu Xian!"
"Niu Xian?"
Cao Ji was startled and looked towards Cao Peng.
Cao Peng's eyes flashed with a hint of ferociousness.
He said softly: "Dad, have you forgotten? Didn't Magistrate Xu say two days ago that the murderer who injured my sister has been caught, and his name is Niu Xian... and he has been designated as the Queen of Autumn."
"Brother did not hurt Mrs. Cao."
Cao Ji suddenly asked sharply: "Niu Jin, what is going on, please tell me clearly."
As Jin Wucheng, he was in charge of public security in Xudu.
This outburst had an air of majesty that made Niu Jin tremble with fear.
"Niu Jin, please get up and speak slowly." Cao Peng said warmly.
Niu Jin stood up and said tremblingly: "My brother and I took my mother to Xu County and lived in a shantytown outside Dongcheng.
Seeing that the flowers are blooming in spring and there is no food ration at home, my brother wants to go to the city to find something to do so that he can support his family... My brother and I have been working part-time in the city. A few days ago, my brother said that he had found a job and we were able to make a living.
He gave me a lot of money and said he wanted to go on a long trip.
I didn't think too much about it at the time, and my mother was in poor health and needed someone to take care of her, so I didn't ask any questions.
Unexpectedly, when I went into the city yesterday, I heard that my brother was sentenced to beheaded by the Queen of Autumn... I was shocked at the time, and I quickly inquired about the situation, only to find out that my brother was arrested and interrogated for injuring the wife of the Cao family with his horse. How pitiful God!
, my family is impoverished, and my brother has never ridden a horse, how could he let his horse hurt someone? I wanted to go to the prison to see my brother, but the prison boss said that the county magistrate had orders not to allow anyone to see him.
The more I think about it, the stranger it becomes. My brother must have been wronged, so... I came boldly to complain. I heard that Mr. Cao has the ability to discern everything, and asked him to make the decision for my brother."
Cao Ji is confused!
Cao Peng, on the other hand, was so angry that he fought bullfighting...
"Fu Wan, you bullied me too much!"
"Youxue, what on earth is going on?"
But he saw that Cao Peng's face was red and his body was trembling slightly.
"Xiahou, follow me to the county government office!"
He shouted sharply, and Xia Houlan quickly agreed, followed Cao Peng on his horse, and went straight to the county government office.
Cao Peng did not go to the government office, but went straight to the prison next to the county government office. At the door of the cell, Cao Peng was stopped by two jailers.
"Who are you?"
"I've blinded you. Mr. Cao, the captain of the Yue Cavalry School, still won't get out of my way."
Xia Houlan stepped forward and pushed the jailer away.
Cao Peng was about to go inside, but he saw the jailers looking at each other. One turned around and walked towards the county government office, while the other stopped Cao Peng again.
"Captain Cao, you can't come in."
"Why?"
"The county magistrate has an order and the prison is an important place. No one is allowed to enter without the county magistrate's order.
Although you are a captain, but this..."
Before he could finish speaking, Cao Peng raised his hand and slapped him.
Just hearing a snap, half of the jailer's face suddenly became red and swollen, he took two steps back and fell to the ground.
"Yuan Shao's army of one hundred thousand, I can still enter Youxin, but I want to see who dares to block my way today."
As he spoke, Cao Peng pressed the spring, drew out his waist knife, and strode towards the prison.
Just looking at his murderous posture, who would dare to step forward and stop him?
Who doesn’t know that Cao Peng of Xiaobayi, who had just come down from the battlefield, is a master who kills people without batting an eyelid. When a prison boss got the news, he ran forward trembling, "Captain Cao, I dare to ask you...
…”
"Where is Niu Xian?"
"ah?"
"I ask you again, where is Niu Xian... If you dare to lie, I will chop off your dog's head."
Cao Peng grabbed the cell leader's collar and shouted sharply.
Looking at the bright big knife in his hand, the prison guard was a little scared, "Colonel, don't be angry. Captain, don't be angry. I will take you there right now."
The cell leader led the way, followed closely by Cao Peng.
Xia Houlan and others swarmed up and guarded the cell door. Xia Houlan followed Cao Peng into the cell... behind them, Niu Jin followed closely. In the cell, the light was dim. There was a long narrow passage,
There are cells on both sides. Some are large, some are small. In each cell, there are more or less prisoners. Seeing someone coming in, these prisoners rushed to the door of the cell and screamed loudly.
Cao Peng ignored him at all and just followed the cell leader as he walked inside.
After turning a corner, they saw a burly man tied to a pillar in the innermost cell, which was only a few square meters in size. His body was covered with bruises.
"Brother!"
When Niu Jin saw the man, he couldn't help but shout loudly.
Cao Peng stood outside the cell door, looking at the man inside, and frowned, "What's the matter with these injuries on his body?"
"this……"
The cell leader seemed hesitant, his eyes rolling.
Xia Houlan stretched out his big hand and put it on the prison head's neck, "The captain is asking you a question. Answer him honestly, or I will break your neck."
"It's the county magistrate, it's the county magistrate's order."
"Why is that so?"
“After the prisoner came in, he kept shouting that he was wronged and that he was not the perpetrator.
After the county magistrate heard about it, he asked us to greet him well and tell him to shut up and stop talking nonsense... Lieutenant, you are a villain who only follows orders."
As soon as the words left his mouth, a cold light flashed in his eyes.
The prison head screamed in fright, but with a soft click, Cao Peng cut off the chain on the cell door with his knife.
Niu Jin walked quickly, rushed into the cell, untied the tall man, and laid him down on the dirty haystack, "Brother, wake up, brother, wake up!"
Niu Xian slowly opened his eyes and saw Niu Jin. He trembled: "Ah Jin, I didn't hurt anyone... They gave me a lot of money and asked me to admit it. They said that no one was killed anyway, as long as
If the horse was bitten to death because it was frightened and then hit the person, the maximum sentence would be one or two years in prison.
But I didn’t expect that they wanted me to die..."
Niu Xian's voice was very low, but Cao Peng heard it very clearly.
One hand clenched into a fist, and his body kept shaking. For a long time, he suddenly yelled, "Xun Wenruo, how dare you lie to me."
"Master..."
"Someone, please carry Niu Xian out and follow me out."
"Captain, no!"
The cell leader was startled and shouted quickly: "You are robbing a prison, but that is a capital crime."
"You can look the other way, you can confuse right and wrong... I will take him to see Xun Yu today. I want to see who dares to stop me."
As Cao Peng spoke, he put his hand on the prison head's chest and exerted force suddenly.
I saw the cell leader's body flying out with a roar, slamming into the cell door, and spitting out a mouthful of blood.
Cao Peng strode out, while Xia Houlan and Niu Jin carried Niu Xian and walked toward the prison door.
"Someone is robbing the prison!"
The cell leader collapsed on the ground and screamed.
But at this time, who would dare to step forward and stop him?
Cao Peng walked out of the prison unimpeded and climbed onto his horse outside the prison door.
"Captain Cao, what are you doing?"
After receiving the news, County Magistrate Xu came from the county government with dozens of Yading officers. When he saw Cao Peng from a distance, he shouted loudly.
Cao Peng sat upright on his horse, his eyes narrowed to a slit.
Magistrate Xu was newly appointed, and Cao Peng couldn't even remember his name. He only vaguely remembered that this guy's surname seemed to be Chen.
However, the ‘Chen’ of Chen Qun, not Yingchuan, seems to be from Runan.
With a sly smile on his face, Cao Peng suddenly spurred his horse on, and Bai Xiyu let out a long hiss and rushed towards Magistrate Xu.
Almost all of Xu Du's elite soldiers were mobilized.
Most of these government officials in the county government are a rabble.
I saw Zhao Ye running wildly with white hooves. Although he was only riding a horse, he showed a fierce and murderous aura.
The yamen screamed in fright and hurriedly dodged to the side. But Magistrate Xu had no time to dodge! Cao Peng rushed towards him. The distance of a hundred meters was covered in the blink of an eye. Waiting for Magistrate Xu
When he reacted, he saw a flash of dark red blood passing before his eyes. He shrunk his neck in fright, screamed, and fell to the ground. The high crown on his head was chopped into two pieces by Cao Peng...
"Sorry, my horse spooked!"
"ah?"
Magistrate Xu's face turned pale and his lips were trembling.
That stabbing blow just now made him almost think he was dead!
Only then did he remember that the man in front of him was the master who killed Yuan Jun's blood in Yanjin. To put it bluntly, it is called killing people without blinking an eye, and killing people like hemp. To put it nicely, he is also the one who took the head of a general.
Master, it's really not difficult for Cao Peng to kill him.
"Whoever dares to stop me today will be killed by me... The King of Heaven is here, no one can stop me!"
Cao Peng was on the long street, looking up to the sky and roaring.
Magistrate Xu fell to the ground and did not dare to move.
"What's going on, what's going on?"
"I don't know, it seems Captain Cao led his people into the prison to save people..."
"Save who?"
"How would I know!"
On the roadside, pedestrians were whispering.
Someone suddenly exclaimed, "Isn't that Niu Xian?"
"Who is Niu Xian?"
"You have forgotten that Colonel Cao's sister, Mrs. Cao, was hit and seriously injured on the street some time ago. Later it was found out that it was this Niu Xian who did it... Weird, why did Captain Cao save this Niu Xian? Then
But his enemy! Could it be that he wants to kill Niu Xian with his own hands?"
The fire of Bagua is burning in everyone's hearts.
But no one dared to get close, because everyone could see that Colonel Cao was going crazy at this time.
"Niu Jin, are you brave?"
"If it weren't for the school captain, my brother would have almost died in prison. Why wouldn't I dare?"
"Take your brother and go to the door of Shangshu Mansion to complain... Tell me exactly what happened to you, so that everyone in the world will know."
"dare!"
Niu Jin was also angry!
My brother's life is only worth a small amount of money?
If I hadn't found Mr. Cao to complain, my brother would still have to bear the grievance even if he died. Looking at Niu Xian's bruised appearance, Niu Jin felt extremely angry. He also risked his life, wouldn't he just die? I'll just listen.
Captain Cao, let's see what you can do to me.
Cao Peng called two Fei Qi to accompany Niu Jin to Shangshu Mansion.
Xia Houlan stepped forward and asked, "Sir, where are we going?"
"Go to General Fu Guo's Mansion... For Xun Yu's sake, I give in. But they bully me like this. Do you think I, Cao Peng, is easy to bully?"
After Cao Peng finished speaking, he turned to Fei Qian behind him and said, "Follow me to the Fuguo General's Mansion as a guest!"
In the dark night, white iron hooves tramp on the long street, making a clattering sound.
Dozens of flying horses followed closely behind Cao Peng, rushing toward the general's residence.
"It's exciting, it's exciting!"
The passers-by were all very excited and whispered to each other: "It seems that Captain Cao is going to have a falling out with General Fuguo. Go watch the fun!"
Magistrate Xu finally came to his senses at this time. His face turned pale and he knew something was wrong.
This time, it’s really troublesome!
After Fu Wan called him and asked him to take Niu Xian away, he took the blame on his retainer.
It wasn't that Fu Wan wanted to embarrass Cao Peng, but that he couldn't swallow this breath. He thought that he, a great relative of the country, was forced to such a point by a villager's son. In the end, he couldn't even save his own son, so he had to send Xu away.
Du, let Fujun go to that bitter and cold place to suffer.
Don't look at how clear and logical he was when he taught Fu Jun a lesson.
But in my heart, I am also very aggrieved...
After returning from the home of Linyi Marquis Liu Guang that day, he was complained a lot by the women at home.
"Sir, you are the general of the auxiliary country and the head of the state. Now even your own son, who is the only bloodline of the eldest princess, has to be sent to a bitter cold place to suffer. This world is still the world of the Han family, and this country is still the country of the Liu family.
?You general is so cowardly."
It was this complaint that made Fu Wan make up his mind.
Although he promised Xun Yu to hand over the murderer, he was thinking in his heart: If you ask me to hand over the murderer, I will hand over the murderer? I will not hand over the murderer...
I'll find someone to be my scapegoat so that I can humiliate you in the future!
To be honest, Fu Wan was a little worried at first, but as the Battle of Guandu kicked off and everyone's attention shifted to the Guandu battlefield, Fu Wan's heart dropped. At least, this matter
The matter could end here and no one would know.
Today is the day of the court meeting.
However, as usual, the Han Emperor did not come to the court, and Cao Cao was not there, and there was no one to preside over it.
After Fu finished answering, he closed his eyes and rested in the waiting room, preparing to go to the palace to see his daughter in a while, and to talk about something by the way.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he walked out of the classroom, he saw someone walking over in a hurry.
