Chapter 22 The Earth Snake

The next morning, the Yongqiu Palace was disturbed by a shocking news.

After Han Dong, a school clerk, ransomware, was greedy and killed Wang Tai, the escort of the state prisoner, robbed a large amount of money and fled.

Wang Tai was killed, and the guardians were at a loss and could only report to Cao Zhi, the king of Yongqiu. Cao Zhi was nominally the lord of a mansion, but in fact he had no right to deal with it. He could only send someone to inform Chenliu County and ask the prefect of Chenliu to send someone to deal with it.

Before the prefect of Chenliu arrived, Cao Zhi also checked the terrain with the auxiliary guards and asked the relevant personnel.

The guards insisted that Han Dong had done the case. More than one person saw him entering Wang Tai's house and heard his quarrel with Wang Tai. After he left, Wang Tai never made any sound. Some people said that when Han Dong left, there was a smell of blood on his body, but there were many people and the light was not good, so he didn't pay attention.

Then, the two women who were arranged by the essayist of the surrogate to serve Han Dong also confirmed that when they saw Han Dong leave the yard that night, the time was in line with the confessions of the guardians, and there was no deviation.

Finally, Cao Zhi found Qingtao based on the footprints outside the wall. Qingtao confirmed that that night, Han Dong had broken into her house and asked her about the eldest prince's overdose. After she told her truthfully, Han Dong did not make things difficult for her and left. There was no leak in her house. She was nervous at the time and didn't know the specific time. She could only roughly estimate that it would be the second half of the night.

The link of evidence is very complete, and Han Dong himself escaped again. This matter is undoubtedly true, so it is decided.

The next day, Sun Shao, the prefect of Chenliu, rushed to the palace and surveyed the terrain again, but there were no new discoveries. On the contrary, because Cao Zhi and others had surveyed it once before, there were many footprints, so it was no longer clear.

Sun Shao met Cao Miao. He originally planned to summon Cao Miao to see him, but Cao Miao ignored him at all. Sun Shao thought about it and felt that he was too disrespectful to a madman, so he reduced his pride and came to the courtyard in person.

Although Cao Zhi was in the sun, his identity was still there and he was not accompanied by him personally, and Cao Zhi was accompanied by him.

Cao Miao was taking a nap in the corridor. Qingtao and Hongxing Palm Fan were fanning him and cool him down. Ahu practiced martial arts aside. Seeing Sun Shao and others coming in, Ahu rushed over and stood beside Cao Miao. Qingtao and Hongxing also stopped fanning. Cao Miao did not get up, and did not even raise his eyelids.

Sun Shao was about fifty years old, with a gentle face, three long beards, walking slowly, and speaking calmly. After looking at Cao Miao's eyes, he bowed and bowed to show his respect. "Prefect Chenliu, Sun Shao, Jinan, has seen the eldest prince."

Cao Miao turned over and turned his butt to Sun Shao.

Sun Shao was busy for a long time and was so hot that he was sweating all over. At this moment, he was standing at the steps with a red face. I didn’t know if it was hot or angry.

Seeing this, Cao Zhi rushed to Cao Miao, bent down, and whispered: "Brother, wake up, Mr. Sun Fu is here to visit you, and you have something to ask for."

"What's the matter?" Cao Miao closed his eyes, with three points of laziness.

"Han Dong killed the essayist of the ruling country."

Cao Miao opened his eyes, supported his arms, and glanced at Sun Shao. "Has someone caught it?"

Sun Shao was calm and bowed again. "Shao just asked the relevant people and wanted to ask the eldest prince again. If the eldest prince could provide some useful information, he might be able to catch the murderer as soon as possible and avenge the envoy."

"And! Why did you come to me if you didn't catch the murderer?!" Cao Miao snorted disdainfully and waved his hand. "Qingtao, go back to the mansion and ask questions. After asking, leave quickly, don't affect my sleep." He yawned. "Life is short, summer is hot, just when you are sleeping and cooling off, you are disturbing your dreams. What is the difference between Han Dong's murder for money? Go quickly, go quickly."

When Sun Shao heard this, he whispered and thoughtfully. A young civil servant beside him was annoyed and shouted sternly: "I heard that the eldest prince danced on the roof a few days ago and scolded his biological father's name. Today, he was rude to the emperor of the mansion and could not afford to lie down. Do you still have loyalty, filial piety, benevolence, righteousness, high and low?"

Cao Zhi lowered his face but didn't say anything.

Sun Shao frowned, looked back at the young civil servant, and whispered: "Mr. Gao, the eldest prince is sick and cannot treat him politely."

The young civil servant bowed and looked respectful, but his voice became a little higher and his attitude was tough. "The emperor of the palace is generous and does not care about ordinary people. The subordinate officials admire him. It is just that the emperor is humiliated and his ministers die, and the eldest prince bullies others with his power and is rude to the emperor. The subordinate officials can't stand it."

Cao Miao snorted, sat up slowly, sat cross-legged, patted his knees with his hands, and raised his eyelids. "Who is under his feet?"

Before Sun Shao could speak, the young civil servant bowed and said proudly: "The lower official Gao Xun, whose courtesy name is Ziyu, is from Chenliu. The Mengfu Gongwangfu Gongwang was appointed as the thief Cao Guan in the prefect's palace. He heard that there was a murder case in the royal palace, and he followed the royal palace to investigate. There were a few problems. I would like to ask the eldest prince to tell the truth."

Cao Miao thought for a while. "Chen Liu, whose surname is Gao, think he is from Gao Rou?"

Gao Xun showed a little smugness and raised his head higher. "The eldest prince was clear and clear, and the lower official was the court officer Gao Jun's follower."

Cao Miao nodded, looking like I knew it. "I guess so. If it weren't for this, how could you be a thief Cao?"

"You..." Gao Xun's face turned into embarrassment, his face turned red and almost bleeding. He pointed at Cao Miao, but couldn't speak.

"I don't want you, you, take your hands back. The Chenliu Gao family is also a big clan. Do you don't know this? You are a little thief Cao, who is rude to my royal family. I don't know how to judge your uncle Gao Tingwei?"

Cao Miao turned to Sun Shao again. "This guy usually talks to the Duke like this?"

Sun Shao didn't know how to deal with it for a moment, and couldn't speak out. To be honest, Gao Xun was indeed quite arrogant and didn't take him as the prefect seriously. All the local tribes are like this, and he can only endure it. Today, he felt a little relieved when he saw Gao Xun being defeated.

Seeing that Sun Shao didn't speak, Gao Xun was furious and pointed at Cao Miao again. "The Master said that he should repay kindness with virtue and repay grievances with righteousness. The eldest prince was rude to the emperor of the palace, so why should I treat the eldest prince with courtesy..."

Before he finished speaking, Cao Miao stepped on the railing, jumped up and rushed towards Gao Xun. Gao Xun was caught off guard and was thrown to the ground by him. Cao Miao pressed Gao Xun under him, held his right arm firmly with both hands, and then broke his fingers. Gao Xun knew that the situation was not good, so he struggled hard while shouting. Several accompanying officials rushed up to pull Cao Miao away.

Cao Miao ignored it, just pressed Gao Xun and even showed her white teeth, roared in a low voice, and bit her mouth. Everyone was at a loss. He only knew that the eldest prince of King Yongqiu was crazy, and no one expected that he would be so crazy. The dignified prince bit people like a mad dog.

Gao Xun was even more in tears and was in a state of chaos. He was a young celebrity, so embarrassed that he was pressed to the ground.

Ah Hu shouted: "Protect the Big Prince!" He lowered his head, rushed over, knocked one ward away, and hugged another ward's waist, shouted loudly, and fell over his shoulder, causing the ward to hit the ground with a big head, almost breaking his neck, and slumped on the ground and unable to move.

As his name was, his power was like a mad tiger. Those officials could not get close to him for a while. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Cao Miao forced himself to break Gao Xun's right hand, bit his index finger, and pulled it hard, biting it half of it.

Gao Xun was so painful that he burst into tears. He held his hands and rolled on the ground, and blood spilled all over the floor.

Cao Miao stood up, spit out half of his fingers, holding them tightly in the palm of his hand, like a new toy. He glanced at Gao Xun with his eyes crazy.

"If you don't accept it, I will accept it."
