The rising sun released its warmth to the world just like in the past. Chu Nan turned over in the scorched bed, but was awakened by the wind blowing from nowhere.
Chu Nan helplessly stood up from the charred ashes and looked at the charred bed and only half of the quilt. There was a hole in the wall, and the wind was blowing from here.
"It's another beautiful morning~"
The sound of the strong wind outside the house may be heard more clearly because of this hole. Every morning when I wake up, I can always hear this sound. Chu Nan has to lament his wife's perseverance. She can practice hard every day regardless of wind or rain.
Persistence is not something that most people can do, at least not by themselves.
After picking up the clothes that were deliberately thrown away from the ground and putting them on, Chu Nan pushed the door open and saw the little girl Lu Yi waiting aside with a dinner plate. When she saw Chu Nan coming out, she bowed.
Chu Nan casually took a pastry from the dinner plate and stuffed it into his mouth. Looking at his wife's dancing figure, his mind was thinking about what he had to do today.
The noble clan's attempt failed, but Chu Nan took the opportunity to gather all the small families together. At this time, how should he react if he was a noble clan?
To resist, they have nothing to control themselves. In the past, Lu Bu could only suppress the nobles with his military power. However, now, military power, financial resources, and food no longer need to rely on the nobles. The only talent who can restrain Lu Bu has been divided by Chu Nan, or
Either rise up to resist, or avoid the edge, leave Xiapi County, and then regroup elsewhere.
Even if he wanted to rise up to resist, this was Xiapi, the core of Lu Bu's power. He estimated that these people would not, so it was more likely that they would avoid the edge temporarily.
Scholars are not warriors, they will not act recklessly, and they do not have the courage to risk the lives of their whole families. Chu Nanjue thinks that they will most likely choose to retreat...
After all, it was to take away people's wealth, just like cutting off their flesh. Chu Nan was not sure whether this group of people would leave Xiapi as he wished and go to other places to squeeze the living space of the nobles in other places and let them roll inward first.
Today Lu Lingqi is training with spears. Although the weapon she uses in battle has always been a halberd, the halberd technique is a combination of spear and sword skills. The improvement of spear and sword skills will also help her master the halberd technique.
The gun is light and agile, but the grabbing method is not as overbearing and forceful as the halberd method. It can stab, stab, collapse, pick, hang, tease, point, carry, carry, drag, pull, block, swing, every basic
Chu Nan had seen the spear style before, and it was nothing unusual. However, when Lu Lingqi arrived, she had a different style. Her slender figure was sometimes strong and sometimes fast. It seemed that her movements were not as graceful as those in the martial arts videos of her previous life. However,
Every time he dances, he can feel an invisible murderous intention coming, which makes people shudder.
Don’t dare to slack off, lest you fall behind others!
This is what my wife often talks about, and she has indeed done it. She practices diligently every day and does not fall. No matter how hard Chu Nan is the night before, she will wake up on time the next morning to hone her martial arts. At her age, she is not inferior to
The strength of famous generals does not depend solely on talent.
While he was thinking about it, he saw Wei Yue coming in a hurry, standing at the entrance of the courtyard and waving to Chu Nan.
Chu Nan put the remaining half of the cake back on the tray under Lu Yi's disgusted eyes, walked to the door, looked at Wei Yue and said with a smile, "What's the matter?"
"Master Li was killed last night." Wei Yue whispered.
"Who did it?" Chu Nan frowned slightly.
"I don't know." Wei Yue sighed and said, "They were attacked last night, and more than that, none of his family members survived!"
When Chu Nan heard this, his expression suddenly darkened. This was the last thing he wanted to happen.
"Also." Wei Yue whispered: "Over there in Woniu Mountain, there are people who specifically attack the merchant caravans of the Chamber of Commerce."
"Didn't we send troops to encircle and suppress them?" Chu Nan frowned.
"Sent, but they were defeated in just one battle. The leading general was almost killed. The thieves were quite ferocious, and ordinary generals were no match for them." Wei Yue bowed.
"Wait for me to get off, and go to Li's house later!" Chu Nan said with an ugly face.
There are powerful generals in Wanniu Mountain? He couldn't remember any powerful generals in Xuzhou during this period. I'm afraid they were recruited by aristocratic families. Wanniu Mountain is located in Pengcheng. It may not be just the Xiapi family that is being sold this time.
Thinking of this, Chu Nan asked Wei Yue to wait, and went over to tell Lu Yi: "I'll handle some official business. I won't have breakfast. I'll tell my wife later."
After Chu Nan finished speaking, without waiting for Lu Yi's response, he turned around and walked away with Wei Xu.
Shortly after Chu Nan left, Lu Lingqi ended her practice and looked back in the direction Chu Nan left.
"Madam, the master of the house..." Lu Yi stepped forward, wanting to tell Lu Lingqi what Chu Nan said.
"I heard it." Lu Lingqi threw out the spear and landed it accurately on the weapon rack. The Chu family courtyard was different from other big families. Instead of building pavilions and pavilions, it built a martial arts arena: "I'm going out for breakfast.
I won’t eat anymore.”
"Ah?" Lu Yi watched in astonishment as Lu Lingqi picked up Fang Tian's painted halberd, took her little red rabbit and went straight out.
What about breakfast?
Such a good breakfast cannot be wasted.
Thinking about this, Lu Yi sat in the pavilion holding the food plate. She looked around guiltily, then threw away the half piece of pastry that Chu Nan had eaten in disgust. She looked around again and made sure there was no one else. She happily looked around.
ate happily.
This is so sweet, this is so delicious~
On the other side, Chu Nan brought Wei Yue to Master Li's home.
The Li family has thousands of fertile fields. If it were in the countryside, it would be a local power. But in a prefecture like Xiapi, this amount of property is just an ordinary small family. There are parents, three brothers, and two children.
He had one son and one daughter, two brothers, five sons and six daughters, and the whole family, together with the servants, totaled sixty-seven people. When Chu Nan came to Li's house, the corpses had already been carried on stretchers.
No one in the house survived, and several other chief clerks also came, looking a little frightened and not daring to face Chu Nan's gaze.
"What are the results of the autopsy?" Chu Nan asked.
"The murderer obviously killed someone neatly, and the time from breaking in and killing to leaving was very short, which is not what ordinary people do." Wei Xu said in a deep voice: "There are no extra clues at the scene. This case is not good.
break!"
Chu Nan walked around twice. He was not a criminal investigator. Faced with such a cruel murder, he had no way to solve it. However, there was no need to solve it. He knew who was behind it.
.
"Go back to the government office." Chu Nan led everyone back to the government office.
There was no discussion about the situation. Chu Nan looked at everyone. Except for Wei Yue, everyone else was in a low mood with panic on their faces. He sighed. These people were all from the family that he had attracted during this period, but
What happened today was definitely a major blow to these people. He didn't need to be happy, but he also knew that most of these people were hesitant in their hearts at this moment.
At this time, any comfort is false. Looking at everyone, Chu Nan smiled and said: "Don't worry, you will get the results tomorrow, and I will definitely make you feel at ease."
Everyone looked at each other, but no one said anything. Chu Nan smiled and said: "Okay, you are all frightened when you think about it today. You should go back to rest first and come back to the court tomorrow. I think you will notice the difference. I will not let my people die in vain."
, I will definitely seek for this justice!”
"Then, I resign from my humble position!" Everyone silently bowed to Chu Nan and left.
"Sir, it's not easy to break this case. The thief moves quickly and his skills are crisp. He doesn't have any clues. If he wants to break the case in one day, I'm afraid..." Wei Yue looked at Chu Nan worriedly.
"It's not a one-person operation, but a gang operation. A strong team. Who do you think has such a manpower in Pi City now?" Chu Nan did not answer, but asked rhetorically.
"Apart from us, I'm afraid there are only those big families." Wei Yue looked at Chu Nan with a wry smile: "But there is no evidence."
"Evidence?" Chu Nan looked at Wei Yue and asked, "Why do you need evidence?"
"Young master, you want to..." Wei Yue looked at Chu Nan and suddenly realized that it was not easy to break the secret overnight, but it was too easy for them to kill people: "But is this too much...
A bit more rogue..."
"The rules of the game must be followed by both parties before the game can be played. When others break the rules of the game, if you still stick to the rules, you deserve to suffer the loss." Chu Nan stood up: "They broke the rules first. I said, I
People who live in poverty cannot die in vain!"
Wei Yue's eyes lit up: "Young Master's words will make my subordinates enlightened. I will go and prepare the manpower."
As a side general, he naturally doesn't understand things like investigating and breaking up eucalyptus, but when it comes to killing people, they are good at it.
[How come the young master looks so like a man today!? This makes him look like my Bingzhou son-in-law!]
Chu Nan: "..."
"Just bring me a few who are good at archery. No need to bring more." Chu Nan said to Wei Yue calmly.
"Is this too much?" Wei Yue worried. This was not a battle between two armies. It was difficult to form formations for street fighting, so if they really fought, it would be close combat.
[Have you not been on the battlefield? Why are you so stupid? This Confucian scholar has ruined his brain!? Studying is harmful!]
Chu Nan could faintly see veins protruding from his temples. He looked at Wei Yue with a smile and said, "More than ten, the archery skills must be good. The general doesn't have to worry about the rest, okay?"
Wei Yue trembled when he heard this: "Here!"
[Obviously the tone is very gentle, but why do you feel a chill? Has this young man indulged in too much sex recently? The yin energy is overwhelming! It’s so cold~]
Seeing that Chu Nan was looking at him with an increasingly 'gentle' look, Wei Yue felt that he might freeze to death if he stayed here any longer, so he quickly bowed to Chu Nan and turned around to leave.
Phew~
Don't be angry~
People just think in their hearts and don’t say it out loud. There is no reason to sin because of this. They have to think of other ways. It’s time for Monster Ant to learn to read. Let him teach Monster Ant the art of war. Monster Ant is more suitable for this. Yes, that’s it.
.
Thinking of Wei Yue's despair when he taught the demon ant in the future, Chu Nan calmed down a lot. Business was more important. He flicked the demon ant lying on his shoulder. After a moment of exchange of thoughts, the demon ant flapped its wings and flew away...
