It's unthinkable to patronize and show off... Although the wine of the Eastern Han Dynasty was not distilled and had a lingering taste in the mouth, its staying power was not small.

When the wind blew, Cao Peng felt drunk.

"Stop, stop!"

Cao Peng jumped off the carriage, held on to a willow tree, and started vomiting.

What a shame!

Fortunately, I didn't vomit wine in front of everyone in the White Horse Temple, otherwise it would be even more embarrassing.

"Ziyou, don't talk nonsense after you go back."

Xia Houlan suppressed laughter and nodded repeatedly: "Don't worry, young master, I understand the importance."

Cao Peng was relieved, stood by the river, and made a chest expansion movement. He raised his head and greedily took a deep breath of the air filled with the fragrance of flowers. In future generations, such refreshing air would not be allowed to smell. He scratched

He scratched his head, took a deep breath, turned around and prepared to board the car.

At this moment, I suddenly saw a cart coming from the side road.

There was one person sitting in the car, and two people were pushing him behind. I guess it was local farmers going home...

Cao Peng didn't pay attention, but he didn't know that when the cart reached the river, the man pushing the cart suddenly stopped and jerked the cart. The person sitting in the cart fell headfirst into the river. There was only a splash, and then the cart suddenly fell into the river.

The two men pushing the cart turned around and were about to leave. Cao Peng shivered, and a thought suddenly flashed through his mind: murder! He quickly shouted: "That thief, stop leaving!"

Originally, the person pushing the cart didn't see Cao Peng, so he didn't pay attention.

But after hearing Cao Peng's shouts, the two men pushing the cart abandoned the cart and ran away.

"Ziyou, catch them!"

Xia Houlan hurriedly rode in pursuit. Unexpectedly, when the two men saw Xia Houlan chasing after him on horseback, they immediately dived into a dense forest.

Cao Peng took Fei Qian and ran to the river.

"Save people, save people quickly!"

These two Fei Qi are both from Danyang.

Therefore, they were not bad at water. After hearing Cao Peng's shout, the two of them immediately jumped into the river, while Cao Peng stood on the bank, feeling dizzy.

When something like this happened, I was so scared that I broke into a cold sweat.

The previous drunkenness immediately disappeared. He patted his forehead lightly, turned around and walked to the cart to take a closer look.

This is a very ordinary cart with no markings.

Xia Houlan rode back with a look of shame on his face, "Sir, let those two thieves run away."

"Ran?"

"Well, they seemed to be familiar with the terrain. They got into the forest, turned here and there, and then disappeared. Although I have a war horse, but..."

"Okay, I get it!"

Cao Peng calmed down a lot now, stood up, and remained silent.

"Ziyou, go to the official office immediately and ask Fourth Brother to bring someone over."

"Here!"

Xia Houlan accepted the order with his hands raised, raised his whip and raised his whip. Cao Peng continued to stay by the river, observing the surrounding terrain. Not far away was Beimang Mountain, and the Luo River went around Beimang Mountain.

Many villages. Xia Houlan said that the two people were very familiar with the terrain, that is to say, they were locals. Cao Peng patted his forehead and was thinking, when he suddenly heard the sound of water coming from the river, and the two flying men were panting.

Climbed the river bank.

"Where are the people?"

"Sir, no one..."

"ah?"

"We have found the bottom of the river, but we still haven't found any bodies. Except for silt, just silt."

"how so?"

When Cao Peng heard this, he was stunned.

He saw with his own eyes that the two men threw the people sitting in the car into the river. How could they not find the body? He walked quickly to the river, looked at the water, and asked after a moment: "Is it possible?

The river was so strong that it swept people away? That’s why you didn’t find them.”

"Impossible, the river is not very fast.

If it were on the river, this kind of situation might happen. But with this kind of current, it is impossible to sweep people away... Mr. Li, how about we go down and have a look?"

A Fei Qi opened his mouth and said.

Fei Qian named Li Xian nodded, "In this case, let's separate. You go up, Daya, and I go down... Young Master, what do you think?"

"Then thank you for your hard work."

Li Xian and Daya rested for a while and jumped into the river again.

Cao Peng stood on the shore, frowning and waiting quietly.

In the distance, there was the sound of people shouting and horses neighing.

Xiahou Lan returned to the Northern Lieutenant's Office and woke up Zhu Zan. Upon hearing this, Zhu Zan immediately ordered a dozen servants and hurried over with Xia Houlan.

"Youxue, how is the situation?"

Zhu Zan shouted from afar.

Cao Peng turned around and waved to Zhu Zan.

"Fourth brother, I'm sorry for calling you over so late."

"What are you talking about? I am the Northern Lieutenant of Luoyang, and this section happens to be under my rule. How can I ignore a murder case? Tell me quickly, what is going on? Where is the murderer? And there is a murder case.

Where is the body?”

"The murderer ran away, but according to what Ziyou said, he should be someone from around here, not too far away.

The body... has not been found so far. I saw with my own eyes that they pushed the person into the river, but I don't know why. I sent people to salvage it, but found nothing... By the way, there is also this car, which was left behind by the murderer.

, but I can’t see any clues.”

Wow!

Big Ya protruded from the river downstream, "Sir, there is still nothing."

"Sir, I didn't find it here either."

Cao Peng frowned and said loudly: "Daya, Mr. Li, you guys come up first."

As he spoke, he turned around and said to Zhu Zan: "We still haven't found the body. I asked Daya and Li to search east and west first, but nothing was found. Fourth brother, this thing seems a bit weird. Otherwise, you can find a few more people to go down."

See if you can find anything?"

Zhu Zan thought for a while, nodded and said, "It has to be this way."

Then, he smiled and said: "Okay, I will keep an eye on things here. It looks like you drank a lot. Go back and rest first... You have to leave tomorrow. Ziyou, you stay with your young master.

Go back first. Ah Fu, don’t worry, I will continue to order people to salvage it.”

Cao Peng exhaled a strong breath and nodded.

"Then please, fourth brother!"

However, after returning to the official office, Cao Peng could not sleep.

He lay on the couch, tossing and turning for most of the night. It wasn't until it was past midnight that he reluctantly closed his eyes. He didn't know how long he had slept when he suddenly heard a loud noise coming from outside the house. Cao Peng opened his eyes and called out.

He sat up, put on his clothes and walked out of the guest room.

I saw Zhu Zan talking to Xia Houlan with a tired look on his face.

"Afu, I woke you up."

"Fourth brother, how is the situation?"
