The corpse of the Hu man was placed in a small room next to the side door of Dou Mansion.
Dou Lan wrapped the body in a piece of cowhide and placed it quietly in the house. It was very remote, so it was very quiet. Li Ding was a frequent visitor to Dou Mansion, and he had been following Dou Lan during this period, so he took Cao Peng with him.
After entering the mansion, no servant came forward to stop him.
On the surface, Dou Mansion is very peaceful.
It was as if no murder had ever occurred, and the guards in the mansion seemed a bit lax.
Dou Lan and Dou Hu are not in the mansion. It is said that they are busy in the camp outside the city. In two days, the thirty-six tribesmen will arrive, which will be the day of alliance and consultation. Dou Lan also pays special attention to this and pays special attention to it every day.
I returned to the government office very late.
"General Dou said that Liang Yuanbi will arrive tomorrow, and he will just hand over the body to Liang Yuanbi then.
The funeral ceremonies of Xiutu people are different from ours... Even if the person died in Hongshuiji, they must follow the customs of Xiutu people."
Li Ding led the way, explaining to Cao Peng as he walked.
After a while, the two of them came to the door of a small house. There was no one else around. Li Ding was mumbling something outside the door, as if he was praying. Then he opened the door, stepped in, took out the fire sticks and lit the fire in the house.
Oil lamp.
Cao Peng also followed suit.
The light of the oil lamp was a little dim, and the room it illuminated seemed slightly eerie.
Cao Peng walked in and saw the corpse placed in the center of the room. He picked up the oil lamp from the window sill, walked to the corpse, and slowly squatted down. He stretched out his hand and peeled off the cowhide on the corpse.
, only a pale face was seen. The Hu man's corpse was already stiff, and under the illumination of the oil lamp, the face exuded a sinister aura.
Li Ding couldn't help but shuddered and took two steps back.
"Mr. Cao, what do you want to see?"
Cao Peng did not answer, but carefully inspected the body.
As he guessed, there were two fatal wounds on the body.
One was on the chest, and the other was on the neck. The man's throat had been cut, and there was a wound on the side of the chest. The gun was inserted diagonally from the left side and directly penetrated into the heart. The murderer may not have felt it.
Simply, when the murder weapon was pulled out, there was a flipping movement, which also made the wound appear circular, which was shocking under the light.
Cao Peng looked at the corpse with a calm expression.
Judging from the wounds on the corpse, the murderer was definitely not a temporary act, but had been planning for a long time.
There were two people who seemed to know the deceased. One stepped forward to attract the deceased's attention, and the other suddenly appeared...
In order to prevent the deceased from making any noise, the murderer who attracted the deceased's attention also cut the deceased's throat.
In other words, the murderer should be very familiar with the deceased, otherwise he would never be able to succeed without anyone noticing.
Cao Peng gently exhaled a breath and stood up.
He took two steps back, opened his mouth and blew out the oil lamp, called Li Ding, and left the room together.
"What? Did you see anything?"
Cao Peng smiled and asked, "What was General Dou's reaction when he saw this corpse?"
"Reaction?" Li Ding looked confused, thought about it carefully, shook his head and said, "No reaction, I just looked at it twice and left."
"Then how do you know that he is Xiutu Grenren?"
"Didn't you see the black wolf head pattern on his arm? That is the unique pattern of Xiutu..."
"If you think about it carefully, General Dou's...every action? Every expression?"
Li Ding looked like he was thinking hard, and after thinking for a long time, he said softly: "General Dou really didn't have any reaction... If anything, he seemed a little surprised when he first saw the body. Well, that's it, the rest
I really didn’t notice it.”
Surprised?
Cao Peng raised his eyebrows, thoughtfully.
In this way, the two of them walked out of Dou Mansion and headed towards the inn without knowing it.
Maybe there was a murder, but Hongshuiji seemed a little deserted tonight. The shops and restaurants were closed early, and small groups of guards could be seen patrolling the streets from time to time. However, no one stepped forward to stop Li Dinghe.
Cao Peng, the two of them walked along the street and talked in low voices. After a while, they arrived at the door of the inn.
"Mr. Cao, what do you mean?"
"General Dou has seen the body, did you say anything?"
Li Ding thought for a moment, "I didn't say anything special... He mainly talked about the alliance affairs in two days, and also told Tiger to pay attention to vigilance. Hmm... Also, he just asked about my grandfather's situation. Before.
General Dou sent someone to inform my grandfather and asked him to lead his troops closer to Hongshuiji. At noon today, I received news that my grandfather had left the camp and was expected to arrive at noon tomorrow. However, General Dou said that my grandfather should not be in a hurry to show up.
"
Sure enough!
Cao Peng's heart moved, and he suddenly became enlightened.
This Dou Lan is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and Li Qi is not simple either.
"Mr. Cao, what exactly did you see?"
"Hehe, don't worry, the results will naturally come out in two days."
Cao Peng smiled and went back to the house.
Li Ding stood in the courtyard, scratching his head, looking even more confused...
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

The murder in front of Dou Mansion did not have much impact on Hongshuiji.
As Jiang Xu said, this is a place where there are not many rules and laws, and people can be killed if they disagree. Even though Hongshuiji is an independent world dominated by Han people, what we are facing here is
The powerful Shuo Feng saw the vast pastoral plains, and almost all of the people he came into contact with were the brave and fierce Qiang, Hu and Xiongnu alien races...
The laws of the Han family have lost their deterrent effect here, and can even be said to have completely disappeared.
The people of Hongze were resentful towards the Han Dynasty and at the same time at a loss... As a result, their way of life gradually became the same as that of the Qiang and Hu. The laws of the Han Dynasty in the past were passed down from generation to generation.
, gradually forgotten.
On the grassland, there will be fights and killings every day; there may be deaths and injuries every day.
Even in Hongshuiji, although the situation is better, fights with fatalities and injuries are still common.
The next day, when everything returned to normal, no one was surprised. In their opinion, the curfew last night was more because the alliance was about to start, so the atmosphere seemed tense. So, when the morning sun rose, people continued
People are living their lives in the past. Those who should farm continue to farm, and those who should do business open their doors to welcome guests. It is not much different from usual. If there is a change, it is that with the arrival of more than a dozen tribal adults, Hongshuiji has
More lively.
In the post station next to Dou Mansion, Ma Chao faced the rising sun and danced his big gun in the courtyard.
The one-foot-two-foot-long tiger-headed iron-backed spear looked like a dragon out of the sea in the sunlight, drawing arcs of light in the air. The faint blue blade of the spear tore through the air and made a sharp whistle.
The strong wind then overflowed.
Ma Chao was dressed in a snow-white uniform, and his gun followed people wherever he went, as if turning his arm.
On the side, Ma Dai and Hu Bai were whispering and exclaiming in admiration from time to time...
"The eldest son is good at shooting."
"Brother, this move is really beautiful."
After a sharp roar that ripped through the sky, there was a flash of cold light, and Ma Chao put away his gun and stood up.
He let out a soft breath, handed the big gun to the attendant at the side, took the square towel, and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
"Taozhi, are all the adults here?"
"Twenty-three adults have already arrived, and it is estimated that nearly thirty adults will arrive this evening.
Liang Yuanbi will arrive at Hongshuiji tonight, and they will all be there almost tomorrow... However, I heard that Li Qi will probably not show up. His grandson is at Hongshuiji, and he is expected to be there by then.
His grandson attended."
"That old thing Li Qi..."
"The eldest son, Li Qi is already old. Over the years, he has rarely attended the Hongze League. I estimate that he is ready to make way for his grandson... Li Qi's three sons, in the early years
Those who died of illness, those who died in battle, only one grandson is left. If he didn’t support his grandson early, who else could he support?"
"But I heard that Li Qixin went to the Han Dynasty."
"Hey, what's the matter? The return of Hongze to Ma is the general trend... He Li Qi's heart is towards the Han Dynasty, but he can't stop the general trend. As long as this alliance is successful, Hongze will belong to the Ma family, even if Li Qi disagrees
, and there is no other choice. I heard that Cao Cao didn't take it too seriously when he ordered the young Cao thieves to go out to control Hexi this time. After all, the war in Hebei has not ended yet, and Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang are still there, so the old thieves can't spare much power at all.
, come and help the little thief.
If the old thief really wants to capture Hexi, he can send troops and horses.
But so far, I heard that only a few thousand people have arrived in Lian County, and other than that, there has been no other action.
Thousands of people want to stand firm in Hexi? It is tantamount to wishful thinking.
As long as the eldest son can firmly hold Hongze in his hands, the little thief may not even be able to survive this winter..."
When Ma Chao heard this, he couldn't help but look up to the sky and laugh.
"What Tao says is exactly what I want.
Others are afraid of old Cao Cao, and a certain family seems to be just like that. Unfortunately, my father has never made up his mind. If you follow my wishes, while the old thief is busy with the war in Hebei, we must gather troops and horses, sweep through the third auxiliary, and occupy the residence.
Guanzhong, it won't take any effort. When the time comes, we can take advantage of the dangers in Guanzhong and have another showdown with the old thief..."
Ma Dai nodded slightly in agreement.
But Hu Bai raised his eyebrows, showed a wry smile, and then gently touched his palms to praise.
This eldest son is very capable. In terms of martial arts, few people in Xiliang can resist him. In terms of marching and fighting, he is also quite good. The Ma family's battle formations are unique and somewhat different from those in the Central Plains. Since Dong Zhuo's death,
, the rise of Ma Teng, relying on the Ma family's unique fighting methods, is indeed rampant in Xiliang, and no one can resist it.
However, Ma Chao’s heart is too big!
Sometimes, it makes Hu Bai feel scared...
Liangzhou Ma, Han Sui is respected, not to mention that Han Sui has a twisted heart, which is not enough to believe. If Ma Teng goes to war with Cao Cao, what decision Han Sui will make is unknown. You know, Han Sui
So he always climbed up by stepping on the corpses of his companions. In the past, it was Bian Zhang and Beigong Boyu. Could it be Ma Teng now?
Even without Han Sui's support, it would not be easy to compete with the entire Central Plains in the bitter cold of Xiliang.
As for the eight hundred miles of Qinchuan...
How can Wei Qian be a kind person?
However, Hu Bai couldn't say these words, but in his heart, he couldn't help but have some inexplicable worries.
