Cao Miao looked down on Cao Zhi Xiaosheng and talked about the boy's crazy performance in one game. He was very fond of him and was not interested in paying attention to him. He took the time to make up for his sleep.

Cao Zhi and Cao Zhi arranged for people to clean up the battlefield, count the casualties and losses, and prepare to report them.

All the losses are real, but the amount of gold is water. Not much, it is more than 400 gold. Of course, only the three fathers and sons of the Cao family knew about this. The others thought that more than 400 gold had been stolen. Lao Song and others were so angry that they cursed and vowed to catch the robbers.

The robbers who were fleeing their lives sneezes and started guessing each other how many times they were, who was so lucky that they actually grabbed so much gold?

Robbers are not a group of people, so naturally there is no reason for everyone to share evenly. Whoever grabs it belongs to whom, that's what it is.

At Chen, Lao Song and others came back, bringing the evidence obtained: Cangwu's Lu Biography, also known as the Junyi County official seal on it. However, it was not the county magistrate's official seal, but the county thief Cao's official. In other words, it cannot be linked to Cang Ji himself based on documents alone.

This confirms Cao Zhi's original speculation that this matter is not Cang Ji's own business, and behind it is the support of the Junyi clan.

The thief Cao is a local. He may have received instructions from someone to cooperate with Cang Ji's actions, and may even contact the thieves in the county. His duty is public security, and he is most familiar with these people. However, Cang Wu has just arrived and it is difficult to get the trust of the local thieves without local people in the middle.

After Cao Miao learned the details, he didn't say anything. He knew that the journey would not go smoothly, but he didn't expect that he would encounter such a big trouble as soon as he left Chenliu.

Zhongmu ordered Deng Ru to come late and showed up in the afternoon. He followed dozens of people in a hurry. After getting off the car, looking at the messy battlefield, the bodies covered with reeds, and the dying prisoners who had been exposed for most of the day, Deng Ru's already pale face, even his lips were bloodless, and his originally calm demeanor was gone without a trace, and he didn't say a complete sentence for a long time.

The county magistrate Cheng Yi, who was accompanying him, changed his warm smile and came to Cao Zhi, bowed and asked about his well-being.

Anyone who has a little brain knows that there are so many thieves in the territory and deliberately attack the royal family. No matter how unwilling the court, if something happens, they will be blamed and may even become scapegoats.

Cao Zhi did not mean to make things difficult for Deng Ru or Cheng Yi, and placed Cang Wu's confession and relevant evidence in front of them.

When Cheng Yi learned that this was related to Cang Ji, his eyes were a little strange. He pulled Deng Ru aside and muttered a few words. Deng Ru nodded repeatedly, and his pale face finally returned to a trace of blood.

Cheng Yi then told Cao Zhi that this matter not only involves Lin County, but also Lin County and Linzhou, which is not something they can handle. They will quickly report to Henan Yin and Sili's lieutenant and ask them to send someone to investigate the scene. Should the king continue to move forward and come to Luoyang before talking, or should he follow us to the county town and stay for a few days?

Even if Cao Miao was not familiar with the specific procedures, he could see Deng Ru and Cheng Yi's intention to refuse. They didn't want to wade into this muddy water at all. It would be better for Cao Zhi to go to Luoyang. As for whether to find Henan Yin or Sili's lieutenant, or even the emperor himself, it has nothing to do with them.

Cao Zhi said, I am the person involved, so I naturally have to cooperate with the investigation and cannot leave Zhongmu. I may have to bother you for a few days.

Although Deng Ru and Cheng Yi were reluctant, they could only agree. Although this matter had nothing to do with them, if they were in a hurry to drive Cao Zhi away, it would inevitably make people suspicious. At that time, Cao Zhi bit his back and involved them, and it would be another unstoppable disaster.

Deng Ru didn't say anything throughout the whole process, and Cheng Yi kept asking about it. Cheng Yi arranged for someone to protect the scene, and then asked carefully about the attack.

Cao Miao couldn't help but look at him twice, feeling that this person was calm and not like an ordinary person. Later, when he asked Cao Zhi, he realized that Cheng Yi was the grandson of the famous minister Cheng Yu. His father was named Cheng Yan and was named Legal Marquis. He entrusted his father and grandfather to be kind to him. He served as an official with his qualifying position. The Zhongmu County Magistrate was his first official position.

County lieutenant is not a high-ranking official, but as the starting point of his career, this official position is not a low-ranking official position.

That night, Cao Miao and his party followed Deng Ru and Cheng Yi to Zhongmu County. Something happened in the territory. Deng Ru and Cheng Yi were afraid of being implicated. They were very considerate with Cao Zhi and his son. They not only arranged them in a large yard, but also sent a lot of things, from wine and meat to daily necessities. They learned that Cao Zhi had robbed almost all the property, Deng Ru and Cheng Yi gave ten gold in their personal name to solve the urgent problem.

After Cao Zhi settled down, the first thing he did was to write to the court. There was a schedule for his trip to Beijing under the imperial edict. If such a thing happened, it would be difficult for him to arrive on schedule. He had to write to explain the situation in time.

Deng Ru did not show up again for several days, only Cheng Yi came twice and asked about the situation.

Cao Miao was a patient, and he lived in silence and did not see outsiders, so he naturally did not understand the specific situation. He just heard Cao Zhi mention it once, saying that Cang Wu had revised his confession and did not admit everything he confessed. He insisted that Cao Miao was an unreasonable madman, tortured and forced confessions, and accused Liang of being a thief. His five toes were shattered as evidence.

Five days later, Sun Hao rushed to Zhongmu and confirmed a news: Junyi ordered Cang Ji to write to the county magistrate Sun Yong and the governor Wang Chang, requesting the prefectures and counties to investigate thoroughly, restore Cang Wu's innocence, and hold Cao Miao accountable.

After hearing this, Cao Miao didn't say anything, but just sighed.

The bad guy is very arrogant and even bites back.

But Cang Ge is not smart enough, the more fierce he dances, the more miserable he dies.

Two days later, Junyi heard news that the governor of the state Wang Chang sent someone to Junyi and ordered Sun Yong to investigate the matter thoroughly, and controlled Cang Ji, detained Cang Ji in Chenliu County Prison, asking Sun Yong to send a special person to guard without any accidents. Sun Yong was very distressed about this, but he could not refuse, so he ordered people to take strict supervision to prevent Cang Ji from committing suicide or being suicide.

Even though Sun Yong was rude, he knew that this matter was of great importance and could not tolerate any carelessness.

The only benefit is that everyone knows that he has a very good relationship with the father and son of Yongqiu, especially the eldest prince Cao Miao, and it is impossible for him to be involved in the case. No matter how much he checks, he can't find his head. What he wants to do is prove that the amount of gold robbed by Cao Zhi is true. He has Cao Miao's receipt in his hand, and the 500 gold figure is clearly written.

A few days later, Cao Zhi received the edict and continued to move forward and rushed to Luoyang.

Along the way, Cao Zhi kept writing to the court. It was not because he was attacked and complained to block the attack on Wu. He analyzed the situation of Wei and Wu in the Jianghuai area in detail, and determined that the attack on Wu could not achieve the expected purpose. Once he suffered major setbacks, he might be despised by Sun Quan and even shake the southeast. Cao Xiu was stubborn and acted voluntarily, and lacked the experience of personally commanding the army. He sent troops in a hurry and had difficulty winning.

But all his books were sank to the sea, and the emperor didn't even reply a word.

In mid-August, Cao Zhi and his party arrived in Luoyang.

Cao Shuang was ordered to go out of the city to greet him.
