Chapter 137: Lots of Doubts (2)

Puyang Kai shivered in excitement, and his face suddenly turned pale.

"Don't Mai Ren recognize his father?"

Wang Mai retorted.

"But Mai Ren was drunk and dreaming all day long... It seems that he is not interested in Mai Cheng either, but he came to plead for mercy because of Dr. Mai's order."

"Youxue!"

"The students are here."

Pu Yangkai looked excited and wandered around the room.

"You know this, I know, Hutou knows... don't let others know about it for the time being. We will discuss it again after County Magistrate Deng comes back."

Cao Peng nodded, "I know."

After pondering for a moment, he said to Puyang Kai: "However, I plan to monitor Maijiazhuang from now on."

"Well...be careful, don't be discovered!" Puyang Kai was also moved by Cao Peng at this time, and said softly: "Mai Xiong is a Taizhong doctor after all, and Mai Ren is also a Xiaolian. They are in Haixi

, has quite a status, if they discover it, it will be detrimental to us."

"I see."

"Go to sleep..."

Pu Yangkai only patted his forehead, obviously unable to accept so much information for a while.

However, when he opened the door, he found that the rain had stopped. At some point, a light mist appeared outside the house, making it hazy.

"It's going to be daybreak!"

Cao Peng got up and walked over, standing side by side with Pu Yangkai on the porch.

"Sir, before dawn, it is also the darkest time."

Pu Yangkai glanced at Cao Peng, suddenly smiled, and turned to leave.

Although he had not slept all night, Cao Peng did not feel too tired.

On the contrary, he is very excited!

The work experience in his previous life has cultivated his habit of "bold assumptions, careful verification". The current assumption may seem unbelievable and even a bit absurd at first glance. But various signs seem to indicate that this assumption is very likely to be a fact. How?

Certification is a problem. And there is not much time left for Cao Peng. With Deng Ji establishing a foothold in Haixi, it is imminent to exterminate the pirates.

As soon as day broke, Cao Peng took Feng Chao, Wang Mai and Deng Fan to the North Market.

After signing a contract with the nine merchants in Haixi, how to explain to the merchants in Haixi was left to the nine merchants, and Cao Peng was not involved. Anyway, in the end, the review and access must go through Cao Peng and the nine merchants.

It's not easy for Shang to do anything inside.

Wang Mai and Deng Fan were appointed as Cao Cao and will be responsible for the management of Beiji Market.

Along the way, Cao Peng repeatedly told the two of them things to pay attention to and reminded them not to underestimate this matter.

"The law enforcement team must be formed as soon as possible."

Cao Peng warned: "The people brought by Brother Hutou will be temporarily transferred in to tie up the stalls first. Remember to unify the uniforms of the law enforcement team and try not to use weapons at the beginning."

"What can we do without weapons?" Deng Fan asked, "Is it possible to use bare hands?"

Cao Peng said: "I have ordered people to build some handy guys, called law enforcement sticks. They will probably be ready tomorrow, and then you can use the law enforcement sticks. Another thing is, the manpower cannot be expanded too fast, nor can

Too slow. In short, it cannot attract other people's attention, and it must grow as quickly as possible... In addition, you must communicate more with Huang Zheng and others, and you must gain their trust. Don't underestimate this group of business cowards, without them

If you want to help me, it will not be easy to gain a foothold in Beiji Market."

Wang Mai and Deng Fan wrote them down one by one.

He sent Wang Mai and Deng Fan to the North Market and introduced him to Huang Zheng.

Huang Zheng's main business is gold and iron trading. After Chen Sheng's death, the most powerful person in Beiji Market was this person.

However, Huang Zheng is not as arrogant as Chen Sheng. He is smooth and low-key. He knows Wang Mai and Deng Fan, so there is no need to waste too much words.

This person is very good at doing things.

We just signed the contract yesterday and started taking action when we got back.

And a building was specially set aside in the North Market for the use of Cao's office.

All in all, Huang Zheng does not suffer a loss.

After he swallowed Ye Bei's rice line, his strength improved a lot.

Cao Peng also revealed the news yesterday that Chen Sheng's property will be sold soon. Huang Zheng is willing to get closer to the government about a house. The house is in a good location, right in Beiji

At the entrance of the city, there is a two-entry courtyard. The place is very spacious and fully furnished. When the time comes, Wang, Deng Fan and others can move in directly without any trouble.

Cao Peng expressed his appreciation for this!

After coming out of the North Market, the fog had completely dissipated.

The sun hangs high and shines on Haixi.

Cao Peng was riding on his horse and suddenly said: "Feng Chao, let's go up to the tower and have a look."

"Here!"

Feng Chao quickly stepped forward and led the way.

Cao Peng and his party came to the Haixi Tower again and saw that the tower was still desolate and there was no one around.

"Let's go up."

Cao Peng dismounted, handed the reins to an attendant, and then said: "You guys stay below and report if anyone comes up."

"Here!"

After Cao Peng finished speaking, he stepped into the tower, followed closely by Feng Chao.

Neither of the two spoke a word and silently climbed to the top of the building. Feng Chao felt a little uneasy. He didn't know what the purpose of the young man in front of him was to pull him here. Feng Chao was more afraid of Cao Peng now.

Respect. In the eyes of many people, Cao Peng is Deng Ji's executor and a person who relied on Deng Ji to rise. But Feng Chao knows that many of Deng Ji's decisions depend on the young man in front of him. Even though he is young, in fact

But he knew very well and his ruthless methods frightened Feng Chao...

"Feng Chao!"

"Here!"

"Tell me about Haixi."

Feng Chao was startled and asked strangely: "What do you want to know, Master?"

"Well, like Haixi's strange stories?"

Cao Peng smiled slightly, leaned against the window and looked at Feng Chao.

"I recently read Haixi's Tales of Strangeness and Monsters and found it very interesting. So I want to hear if there are any other weird things in Haixi County?"

"Weird?"

Feng Chaoke was in trouble.

He didn't know what kind of medicine Cao Peng was selling in this gourd, but he had to answer.

"If you want to talk about weird things, there are quite a few legends in Haixi."

Feng Chao thought for a moment, "But if it's weird... Oh, I know one of them. That happened a few years ago, about four or five years ago. For a period of time, people often saw the lotus pond.

Someone threw the water into the water. But when they went to salvage, they did not find the body. Local people said that the lotus pond seemed to be connected to the underworld... Haha, the wronged souls in this world can only be reincarnated if they are thrown into the pond. When my father took office, he also heard that

After this incident, he took me to salvage in the lotus pond."

"Then what was salvaged?"

Feng Chao smiled, "Besides silt, it's still silt..."

"What happened next?"

"Then it seemed to fade away. After my father took office, no one saw this kind of thing again, and I didn't see it either. After that, the incident became more and more faded. Until now, many people may have forgotten about it.

If the young master hadn’t asked about it, I’m afraid I wouldn’t be able to remember it.”

A very interesting legend, isn't it?

Cao Peng narrowed his eyes, turned around, and looked outside.

"Feng Chao, where is Maijiazhuang?"

"Oh, just to the south of the city is the fields of Maijiazhuang."

Cao Peng didn't express any opinions, just nodded, turned around silently, and walked down the tower.

"Sir, where are you going next?"

Cao Peng said: "Let's go to the lotus pond and have a look."

"Lotus pond?" Feng Chao said: "The lotus pond is not very beautiful this season and is very deserted. If you want to enjoy the lotus, you might as well go there in the summer."
