It's already dark!

There was no nightlife in Zhongyang Town a thousand eight hundred years ago. There was no nightlife here. There were no restaurants open all night, and there were no brothels singing and dancing. After a busy day, people went home early to rest... with the sun rising and the moon resting, roughly this is the case.

The market was deserted and there were almost no pedestrians.

Cao Peng was wearing a gray mattress and went to a high wall in the dark night.

Seeing that there was no one around, he walked to the foot of the wall, pushed away the dead grass, and a small dog hole appeared. However, looking at the dead grass at the entrance of the cave, he must have been abandoned for many years. Cao Peng took a deep breath, drilled into the wall from the dog hole, squatted under the corner of the wall, and carefully looked around.

This is the backyard of Chengji Store, with two buildings with high and low buildings.

One building is used for warehouses, and the other building is for people to live in.

In his previous life, Cao Peng and Cheng Ji had dealt with people like him... He knew very well that such people were narrow-minded and vindictive, and were typical villains.

What do rich people care about?

The answer is simple: face!

Wang Meng stripped Cheng Ji of face in the day. With the personality of a person like Cheng Ji, how could he swallow his anger?

Not to mention that this incident was caused by Cao Peng's mother, but just Cheng Ji took away his mother's jade pendant, Cao Peng could not let him go easily.

I can't remember the saying in that novel: There is a wild beast hidden in everyone's heart.

In a society ruled by law, regardless of whether the two words "legal system" are in quotes, the effect is very obvious. The laws firmly suppress the wild beast in human hearts. Cao Peng was originally a law enforcer, so this kind of suppression was particularly obvious. But now he was reborn in the chaotic world of 1,800 years ago, and all kinds of constraints seemed to have become insignificant. When Cao Peng helped his mother leave during the day, he keenly captured the murderous intent hidden in the eyes of Cheng Ji and the three elders... At that moment, Cao Peng knew that this matter was not over yet!

Instead of being harmed by them, it is better to take the initiative to attack yourself!

The gunshot next to Xionger River Reservoir not only killed his life, but also unraveled the layers of shackles pressing against Cao Peng's heart.

If someone doesn't offend me, I won't offend me...

But since you have offended me, don't blame me for being ruthless.

Cao Ji is a loyal and honest man. After he learned the reason, his first reaction was to come and talk to Cheng Ji and seek justice. Cao Peng didn't know what Wang Meng had before and didn't want to understand. But he knew that maybe Wang Meng was lawless in the past, but now... Wang Mai has become his shackle, making it impossible for him to do whatever he wants.

Wang Mai is a lawless guy, but he can't tell him about this.

Therefore, Cao Peng decided to seek justice himself.

While buying medicine, Cao Peng observed the environment of Chengji Store and found this unknown dog hole. He knew that Chengji Store was the best place to live in Zhongyang Town. According to his understanding, Cheng Ji usually lives in the store when he comes to Zhongyang...

It’s not that the three elders are not enthusiastic, but that Cheng Ji is a person who wants to enjoy it.

Since he is comfortable living in his own business, he will definitely not be able to live in other people's homes.

Cao Peng observed the situation in the yard, leaned against the wall, and came to the door of the room without knowing it. He reached out and pushed the door gently... The door was gently opened. The door was not locked, and the room was pitch black, and there was no sound inside.

Cheng Ji was invited by the three elders to have a drink at night, so there was no one else in the room at this time.

Cao Peng flashed into the room and closed the door.

It's pitch black and I can't see the decorations inside clearly.

Cao Peng narrowed his eyes and tried hard to adapt to the darkness in the room. He fumbled deep and shallowly, and soon he immediately discovered the layout of the room. Facing the front door, there was a low mat. The bed from the Three Kingdoms period was very strange in shape... about two meters long, about one meter and four meters wide. It has six feet and twenty centimeters high. The wound surface is a living drawer plate, with fences on all sides, leaving a gap in front and back, which is convenient for up and down. One side of the bed, facing the wall, only one gap is left for people to use.

As I couldn't see the overall appearance of the bed, Cao Peng could still roughly understand its specific shape.

There is a low table in front of the bed, with a roll of wooden slips placed on it.

Cao Peng groped for a while and soon found a cabinet in the corner of the wall. It was about two meters three or four meters high, and there was a groove hidden at the top of the cabinet. After testing the width and height, Cao Peng put away his short knife, jumped up suddenly, grabbed the edge of the cabinet with both hands, and used force with both arms, and his body fell into the groove. Lie in the cabinet, it was difficult for outsiders to find out if they were not careful.

At this time, footsteps came outside the house.

Cao Peng hid on the top of the cabinet and looked out through the gaps in the wooden railing... The lights flashed, and the door was pushed open immediately. Two servants walked in with lanterns, lit the oil lamp, and walked to the center of the room, lifting up a floor, revealing a dark fire pit.

A slaughter walked out of the house, took it in from outside and poured it into the fire pit.

"Hurry up, the master will be back in a while. If the temperature is not enough, you and I will suffer."

"Aren't I doing it right?"

Another servant used a fire blowing tube to blow air into the fire pond. The charcoal in the pond gradually brightened up, and the temperature in the house gradually increased.

"Dog, do you think the master has passed the day?"

"What's past?"

"I mean... we all know who the Cao family's wife is. They came to pawn jade pendants to ask for talisman water for their son.

If the master does this, it will inevitably hurt the gods.

To be honest, I can't stand it... Our master is not short of that little money, why bother to make things difficult for women?"

"Shut up!"

The dog quickly stopped the servant and whispered: "It's not our turn to be injustice in this kind of thing. Don't you know who the master is? He has to take a sip of his hair and suck his poop... I told me that it was the wife of the Cao family who didn't have eyes and came to us for a pawn. How could the master let go of the good thing that came to the door? If you want to blame, blame her for not having anyone on her, and she deserves to be unlucky!"

Then, the dog lowered his voice and said, "Do you think our master is easy to meet?"

How about Wang Laohu! That's the first hero in Zhongyang Mountain... But I tell you, in less than three days, the tiger will turn into a dead tiger."

Cao Peng lay on the top of the cabinet, his eyes suddenly became cold.

Sure enough, Cheng Ji really wanted to attack Wang Meng...

"Dog, how do you know?"

"Did you see Cheng Si in the afternoon?

I tell you, that guy rushed back to Wuyin County by the order of the master. It is estimated that at this time, he will soon arrive in Wuyin County... If the master reacts quickly, he will definitely send someone to come before dark tomorrow. At the latest, he will arrive in Zhongyang early the morning after tomorrow.

Wang Laohu can indeed fight, but can he resist our master?"

The servant grinned and did not express his opinion.

But when he saw him blowing the fire pit hard, he knew that this guy was afraid.

The fire pit quickly burned, and the room was as warm as spring. The two servants left the room while talking and closed the door.

Cao Peng was on the top of the cabinet, motionless.

Fortunately, I made a decisive decision, otherwise it would be a disaster.

But the more this happens, Cao Peng's intention to kill Cheng Ji will become stronger and stronger. This is a mad dog. If he cannot kill him, he will harm one side sooner or later.

He curled up and closed his eyes.

Since the fire pit has been lit up, I guess Cheng Ji is coming back soon!

One of the compulsory courses for being a criminal policeman is to wait. I remember that Cao Peng had been waiting for six days in order to arrest a criminal. This moment of waiting was nothing to him. Close his eyes, it would be easier for him to accumulate energy and wait for Cheng Ji to come back.

Time passes by little by little.

About an hour and a half later, another sound of footsteps came from outside the house.

The door of the room was pushed open by someone, and Cheng Ji walked into the room drunk with the help of a guard, shouting while walking.

"I will make him die sooner or later!"

Who can't die well?

Cao Peng didn't know.

But when it comes to Gouzi and the others' conversation just now, it should be Wang Meng.

"Master, do you want to get sobering soup?"

The guard supported Cheng Ji and sat down on the bed and asked carefully.

Cheng Ji waved his hand drunk, "Sixth, go and rest... You have to accompany me into the mountain tomorrow morning... By the way, where did you put the box that Lao Cheng gave just now?"

The guard pointed to the bed, "It's right at your hands.

Master, don’t you really need a villain to serve you? Then the villain will go down first. If there is anything, just call it.”

"Go down, go down!"

Cheng Ji waved impatiently, and the guard hurriedly left the room.

But he didn't notice that on the top of the cabinet in the corner of the room, a pair of cold eyes staring at Cheng Ji through the gaps in the wooden railing.

Cheng Ji picked up a bowl of water and took a big sip.

Then he picked up a box, opened it, and kept laughing.

The box is not big, twenty centimeters long, less than ten centimeters wide, and about five centimeters high. The lid of the box is engraved with exquisite patterns...

Cheng Ji put the box next to him, then took out a jade pendant from his arms and put it in the box.

I could see clearly on the top of the cabinet where Cao Peng was. In the box, there were a few bright and shining golden cakes. Each golden cake was about the size of a baby's fist, and it was estimated to be around 7 or 8 taels. And was that jade pendant the jade pendant that my mother had stolen?

Cao Peng subconsciously moved his feet and accidentally lifted them on the wooden railing.

He was startled and quickly shrank his body and lowered his head. However, there was no movement in the room. After a while, Cao Peng heard a snoring sound.

He looked up again, but saw Cheng Ji lying on the bed and slept soundly.

The big stone in his heart was finally put back into his stomach. But Cao Peng did not rush to do it, and continued to curl up on the top of the cabinet, motionless.

About an hour, the outside of the house had become quiet.
