Chapter 271 Snow Lotus, Snow Lotus (2)(1/2)

When the banquet was about to end, another disturbance arose.

It turned out that when Yue Guan was changing clothes, Chi Zhong couldn't resist the impulse in his heart and quietly left the waterside pavilion to peek in secret.

Unexpectedly, Zhu Dao also came out of the waterside pavilion at this time and saw Chi Zhong's behavior.

The two of them were not easy to deal with, so Zhu Dao stepped forward and caught Chi Zhong. Chi Zhong became angry and started fighting with Zhu Dao.

The two are brothers and are very familiar with each other.

So when the fight started, everyone immediately came out of the waterside pavilion to watch.

Yue Guan was so ashamed and angry that he remained silent inside the courtyard gate. Chi Zhong seemed to be going crazy, fighting Zhu Dao desperately. Zhu Dao looked a little embarrassed, moving around and dodging. Although they were familiar with each other, Chi Zhong went crazy.

It also gave Zhu Dao a headache and he kept retreating.

But the sword was shining brightly and the scoldings continued.

Chen Qun looked gloomy in front of the waterside pavilion, only looking at the two people and saying nothing.

"Lao Zhu, Boyu, stop it quickly."

Xuan Shuo shouted loudly, but the two of them seemed not to hear him.

"County Magistrate Chen, what should we do?"

"Let them fight and see who can escape in the end."

Chen Qun shouted sternly, causing everyone to suddenly change their expressions. They had forgotten that Chen Qun was the order of Luoyang, and there was also an extremely tough Henan Yin above him. If someone killed someone at this time, they would definitely not let it go in the end.

, no one can escape.

Yue Guan was also anxious and ran over to stop him.

Chi Zhong also calmed down at this time and was so ashamed that he walked away without saying a word.

Zhu Dao hummed twice, but said nothing. Yue Guan's eyes were red, as if he had suffered endless grievances, and he stepped forward to apologize to Chen Qun and others.

Outside the waterside pavilion, it started to rain again...

Cao Peng was lying on the desk and seemed to have fallen asleep.

Chen Qun smiled bitterly and said: "Master Yue'an, it looks like there will be a lot of trouble tonight. Youxue is drunk and is not suitable for walking anymore. Is there any room available?"

Yue Guan said: "There are three side rooms in the front hall, just to facilitate the laymen to rest.

It's just a bit shabby. If Chen Luoyang doesn't mind it, you might as well rest in the front hall with Mr. Cao. Anyway, the three rooms in the front hall are enough."

"So annoying!"

Chen Qun cupped his hands and thanked him, then called Chen Ju and helped Cao Peng to the side room.

"Mr. Su, there is one more thing I need to trouble you with."

When the song ended and everyone dispersed, Chen Qun called Su Wei to stay.

Su Wei looked panicked, "What are Chen Luoyang's orders?"

"I would like to ask you to inform the leading businessmen in Luoyang to go to the county government office at noon the day after tomorrow to discuss matters.

You also know that I have just arrived in Luoyang and I am not familiar with the people there. Mr. Su, you have lived in Luoyang for a long time and you must know more about me than I do. Is that okay?"

A respectable Jiaren?

Su Wei was stunned and said quickly: "I am willing to help you."

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and Cao Peng suddenly opened his eyes.

It was very quiet in the front yard, and the guests had dispersed. Cao Peng opened the door, walked out of the side room, and walked to the door of the next door room.

Raise your hand and knock lightly on the door.

"Brother, are you here?"

There were footsteps in the room, followed by the door being opened.

Chen Qun looked surprised, "Afu, why are you knocking on my door?"

Cao Peng ducked into the room and sat down inside.

"Brother, if I don't come to you, who else can I go to?"

Chen Qun trembled with fright, "You're not..."

"Brother, you misunderstood!" Cao Peng said softly: "I just pretended to be drunk because at the banquet, someone told me that she knew how my fourth brother died and asked me to try to stay in the nunnery... You

You don’t really think that I have anything to do with that Yue Nunnery master.”

"Does anyone know the cause of Zhu Gongzuo's death? Who!"

Chen Qun was so drunk that he suddenly woke up.

"That young monk in the nunnery, do you still remember?"

"Of course I remember, she is also a beauty...but compared to Master Yue'an, she seems to be less charming...could she know?"

Cao Peng nodded and exhaled a thick breath.

He picked up a glass of water on the table and drank it in one gulp.

"In the past few days, I have been thinking about who killed my fourth brother.

But I thought about it and couldn't think of a clue... Before my fourth brother was alive, he was investigating a case in which I saw someone fall into the water by the river. What happened that night is still vivid in my mind. I can be sure.

, someone fell into the water! But unfortunately, no one was seen alive, and no body was found dead. When I left Luoyang, my fourth brother promised me that I would get to the bottom of it. Unexpectedly, he was killed in a strange way."

Chen Qun remained silent. He got another bowl of water from the kettle in the house and placed it in front of Cao Peng.

"I have been thinking that if my fourth brother was poisoned, someone must have poisoned him.

However, I read through the testimonies carefully, but I couldn't find any clues about poisoning. The warehouse was burned down, the fourth brother was poisoned, and the man who fell into the water... I was wondering, what is the connection between these three. Today.

Xuelian's correspondence with me made me suspect that the murderer was someone at the banquet tonight. However, I still haven't found the answer. I just wait for Xuelian to come over tonight and tell me the truth."

Chen Qun nodded, "This case needs to be settled as soon as possible."

"Xue Lian will come over in a while, please help me keep an eye on it."

"Of course."

After Cao Peng finished speaking, he stood up and prepared to leave.

But at this moment, I heard a weak string sound.

A short arrow pierced the window paper, flew into the house, and shot towards Cao Peng.

It was Cao Peng who reacted quickly. He was so frightened that he quickly jumped across the iron bridge. The short arrow almost brushed Cao Peng's nose and flew over, hitting the fence of the bed.

With excitement, Cao Peng shivered.

Without saying a word, he rushed out of the room.

The door opened and he came outside. Before he could stand upright, a second short arrow whizzed towards him.

Cao Peng quickly dodged and jumped from the porch into the courtyard. The rain and mist made his vision extremely blurry. Cao Peng could vaguely see a figure flashing on the gable wall.

"Thief, where are you going?"

Cao Peng made a move to pounce, his body as fast as lightning.

His body is fast, but not as fast as the iron meteor in his hand.

An iron meteor flew out of Cao Peng's hand at the moment he pounced... He only heard a muffled groan coming from the gable wall, followed by a thud, as if someone fell under the gable wall. Cao Peng came to the foot of the gable wall like a tiger.

, stepped into the air, grabbed the top of the wall with both hands, flew up with a roar, and stood on the top of the wall. Looking outside the wall, I saw a short bow and a Hulu with a short arrow on the ground...

Other than that, there is no trace.

"Zifang, there is an assassin!"

Chen Qun also ran out of the room at this time and shouted loudly.

Chen Ju and two generals who lived in the wing next to him ran out immediately when they heard the noise, holding swords and looking around nervously.

"Afu, how is the situation?"

"Let him run away!"

As Cao Peng spoke, he jumped from the top of the wall to the outside.

"Zifang, go and help."

"Master, your side..."

"Don't worry about me, go outside and help your friends learn. Just have their protection here."

The two generals stood at the door, looking around vigilantly. Chen Ju did not dare to hesitate, opened the mountain door, and rushed out like the wind.

"How about Cao Beibei?"

Cao Peng squatted on the ground and picked up the short bow and short arrow.

"Zifang, do you have any Huozhezi?"

"have!"

Chen Ju stepped forward, polished the fire fold, and handed it to Cao Peng.
