A living person fell into the river and there was no trace.

This thing seemed so bizarre that Cao Peng couldn't figure it out. You know, he saw the man being pushed out of the car with his own eyes, why did he disappear so bizarrely? The passion for criminal investigation in his previous life was boiling again.

Getting up made him very curious.

"Fourth brother..."

As soon as Cao Peng opened his mouth, he was stopped by Zhu Zan.

"Ah Fu, I know what you want to do, but it will be dawn soon, and you have to leave for Luhun Mountain. It is a great blessing for you to become the disciple of Mr. Kong Ming this time. Don't miss it.

As for this matter, I will investigate carefully. Since someone was pushed into the river, the person will be visible in life, but there will be corpses in death... After dawn, I will report the Luoyang order and seal the Luoshui River. I will definitely find clues.

.Your top priority now is to pack up and prepare to set off. We still need two days to go to Luhun."

Cao Peng thought for a while and nodded in agreement.

In any case, although I now have the title of Cavalry Commander, I don’t have any real power. To put it bluntly, this case happened in Luoyang and was between Luoyang Ling and Zhu Zan. If I behave too much

Enthusiasm, doesn't it mean that Zhu Zan and others are incompetent?

Although he and Zhu Zan are sworn brothers, Zhu Zan may not be happy with this.

This is not only an issue of responsibilities and powers, but also includes the dignity of officials up and down in Luoyang.

When a murder occurs, it is natural that I, the Luoyang official, should be responsible. What kind of thing is you, a cavalry captain, coming here to point out?

In later generations, this kind of thing often happened.

The police stations say they are cooperating, but in fact, if the case occurs locally, the local police will definitely not be happy for outside police to point fingers and get involved.

Cao Peng was not stupid either. Although Zhu Zan didn't explain it, he already understood the meaning.

Cao Peng scratched his head and smiled awkwardly, and said: "Fourth brother, don't worry, I'm just taking a look and I'll set off at dawn."

Zhu Zan patted him on the shoulder and said nothing more.

Guo Huan and Bu Luan were packing things aside, while Xia Houlan took people to prepare the carriage and horses.

Cao Peng stood on the front steps of the Northern Lieutenant's Office, watching two servants pushing a car in, so he jumped down the steps and walked over.

"Master!"

The servants saluted quickly.

Cao Peng said: "But that car by the river?"

"Exactly."

He circled the cart twice, stared hard, and stepped forward to pick up a piece of soil from the cart board.

"You tell me, why is there mud on this car?"

The two servants looked at each other, and one of them smiled and said: "Sir, this cart is originally a tool for storing sundries. Sometimes messy things are piled on top. It's normal to have dirt. I also have one at home.

The cart is dirtier than this car."

"Yeah?"

Cao Peng thought for a moment and nodded, agreeing with the answer.

"Sir, let's push him to the warehouse first."

"Is this thing stored in the warehouse?"

"Yeah, it's not actually a warehouse. It's just a room for storing things. It's very messy. Zhu Beibu said that this kind of cart is not cheap to make. If someone loses something important, he will definitely come to pick it up. So keep it properly first.

, and then make a decision based on the situation.”

"Okay, then be careful."

Cao Peng smiled, turned and left.

It's so damn confusing... But with the fourth brother's ability and the help from everyone in Luoyang, it won't be too difficult to find the murderer.

Generally speaking, for the government to register a case, a corpse is required.

As long as the body is found, everything will be revealed.

"Sir, everything has been packed."

"Then let's get ready to leave."

Cao Peng rubbed his nose and walked inside.

At this time, it was already dawn, and Mrs. Zhu had already stood up, holding her child in her arms, preparing to go out.

Zhu Zan was not at home, saying that he had just left the house and went to Luoyang Order to report the case and ask for assistance. Mrs. Zhu said that Zhu Zan had told Cao Peng not to send him on the road when he left, and asked Cao Peng to be careful along the way.

, after arriving at Luhun Mountain, you must study hard and don’t lose Xiao Bayi’s face.

After saying that, Mrs. Zhu also ordered someone to fetch a package and handed it to Cao Peng.

"This is what your fourth brother has prepared for you. If you need anything when you get to Luhun, just let us know. Anyway, Luoyang is not far away. Whatever you need, it will be very convenient."

In the package, there is a piece of Zuo Bo's paper and a volume of "Lun".

"Your fourth brother heard that you are good at reading "On", so he asked someone to find this volume of "On" as a gift for you to study as a disciple. I heard from him that this "On" was written by Cai, Cai...Cai

Yong, yes, it was the annotation by Cai Yong. It was also the book in Dongguan's collection at the beginning, and your fourth brother spent a lot of effort to find it."

One volume of "The Analects" contains a strong sense of brotherhood.

Perhaps Mrs. Zhu didn't know how precious the Analects of Confucius annotated by Cai Yong was, but Cao Peng knew it very well.

In later generations, there were many versions of the Analects. But most of them were based on the Analects annotated by Zheng Xuan, which gradually developed later. As everyone knows, Cai Yong was a Confucian master in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, and his reputation was not inferior to that of Zheng Xuan. His analects were even more popular.

It was kept in Dongguan and was in the royal collection. Later, Cai Yong's documents were almost lost. No one knew about this volume of Cai Yong's annotations on the Analects of Confucius, including Cao Peng. But Cao Peng knew that since it was taken from Dongguan

, then it must be extremely precious, how could he not express his gratitude?

Zhu Zan is a workaholic. Since he said so, there is no need to wait for him.

So, Cao Peng got on Zhao Yebai, and Guo Huanbuluan got on the carriage, and outside the gate of the Northern Lieutenant's Office, they said goodbye to Mrs. Zhu and left with whips raised.

It is already dawn, and all twenty city gates of Luoyang have been opened.

Cao Peng walked along Tongtuo Street, onto the main street, and went straight to Yongmen...

Outside Yongmen, Shi A was waiting for Cao Peng and his party, carrying a food box.

"Master Shi, why are you here?"

"Sir, the road to Luhun is bumpy. Shi'a doesn't have much to offer, so he has prepared Luoyang's unique snacks for you to taste on the way.

I came to Luoyang in a hurry this time, and Shi A couldn't receive him well.

Next time, when the young master comes to Luoyang again, he must let Shi A fulfill his friendship as a landlord."

The snacks in the food box were piping hot, obviously freshly baked.

Although this guy Shi A is quite reckless, I have to say that this guy is a person who values ​​friendship and has a very delicate mind.

Cao Peng was not polite, took the food box from Shi A's hand, and asked Buluan to put it away.

"Master Shi, next time I come to Luoyang, I will definitely make a lot of noise."

"It's a deal."

Cao Peng mounted his horse again and said goodbye to Shi A.

Watching Cao Peng and his party drift away, Shi A let out a sigh of relief.

"Master, Cao Peng is just a cavalry captain with no real power, why do you value him so much? Didn't the second young master send someone to deliver a letter before, asking you to return to Xudu and teach him the swordsmanship? The second young master is here, you

Why bother with a little cavalry captain?"

The second young master refers to Cao Pi.

Although Shi A took over the Shengshi Gambling House, he did not resign from his position as Cao Pi's swordsmanship instructor.

His background, as well as his experience, destined him not to become an official. Think back to the beginning, Shi A's teacher Wang Yue, as the emperor's swordsmanship teacher, spent his whole life seeking office, but in the end he still came up empty-handed. Shi Abi was not as good as Wang Yue, but there was one thing

, he can see more clearly than Wang Yue...

Since the Han Dynasty, knight-errants have been popular.

Many children from powerful and aristocratic families are vying to be a knight-errant, making the knight-errant look very glorious.

But in fact, a real knight-errant cannot be on the stage. Black is black, and it cannot be painted white. Without a good background, being a knight-errant is equivalent to ruining your career. Therefore, from the beginning, Shi A

I don't want to hang out in official circles.

I would rather guard a hero building and get to know the heroes of the world.

Shi A, walked very safely...

The person who spoke was Shi A's apprentice named Miao Xu.

Shi A smiled and said softly: "The second young master is the second young master, and the young master Cao is the young master Cao... Xinduo, you don't understand the mystery behind this."

Miao Xu looked confused!

In March of the fourth year of Jian'an, Yuan Shu was defeated and retreated to Jiangting.
