Chapter 23
Erguotou's business was arranged in the manors of every prince and nobleman through Cao Ang's arrangement, and later even high-end restaurants also had Erguotou.

The reputation of this world's top-notch immortal brewed wine has become bigger and bigger.

Even interested people are already finding out who the boss behind it is.

But they found that the boss's eyesight behind this was really terrifying, and it was said that the clan of the Cao family was involved.

In this case, some businessmen still want to get involved in the business, so they naturally give up their ideas.

Firstly, they don't need to offend bigwigs in the officialdom, and secondly, the Erguotou business only involves the high-end market, which has no impact on ordinary wine dealers like them.

Cao Peng's pockets were full of money immediately, and he was satisfied every time he shared the accounts with Cao Ang and Dian Wei.

Even Cao Ang knew for the first time what a profiteering industry is, let alone Dian Wei.

Seeing that the business is getting bigger and bigger, the day when the paper can't hold the fire is getting closer.

……

In Xudu, Cao Cao found his happiness again. He had a lovely wife and a beautiful wife, and he went out occasionally to have some fun, and his life was very comfortable.

Like tonight he just wanted to go out and have some fun.

But his guards told him that Cheng Yu was here.

"Zhongde, it's so late, what's the matter?" Cao Cao asked.

Cheng Yu was a little embarrassed. The reason why he came to affect Cao Cao's interest at such a late hour was because of the importance of this matter.

"My lord, I have received reliable news that someone uses the best military rations in the army to brew fine wine." Cheng Yu said.

"What? Who is so bold!"

Cao Cao was taken aback for a moment, then asked angrily.

It's no wonder that Cao Cao was angry. After all, corruption is a lesser crime than embezzling military rations.

In this world, if you have soldiers, you are the grass head king, and military rations are the most important thing.

Just imagine, if the army food reserves are insufficient and the soldiers are hungry, mutiny will immediately be triggered.

Cheng Yu resisted Cao Cao's anger and continued:

"It is known from reliable sources that this matter is Cao Peng's mastermind, and it is also related to Captain Dian and Young Master Ang."

Cao Cao frowned after hearing the other party's report. If the information was accurate, then Cao Peng had violated serious military discipline this time.

"Zhongde, go and call Fengxiao, come with me! Let me go and see for myself whether this is really the case."

The so-called hearing is believing, seeing is believing, Cao Cao is not a person who will be deceived if others mock right and wrong at will.

What's more, he has to go and see for himself how big the scale of brewing wine with military rations is. If it's small, he doesn't bother to take care of it.

After all, in such an era, not to mention such speculation, this can be regarded as corruption on the surface, as long as it is not too much, then there will be no big disturbances.

"Zhongde, I'm not talking about you, since you know that this matter involves the prince, why do you bother?"

Guo Jia was ready to rest, but was called up by Cheng Yu, so he started complaining on the way.

"Hey, I don't want to take care of it, but there are rumors in the market that someone used military rations to make wine, and many people have sued me. Just last month, my lord asked me to supervise the matter of the food and grass stall, and the matter has already caused a lot of trouble. , how can I still conceal it and not report it?"

Guo Jia shrugged his shoulders, expressing his understanding, and at the same time feeling sorry for Cheng Yu.

He is good at calculating others, so he can tell at a glance that this matter is obviously someone who wants to escalate the incident, and Cheng Yu was used as a gun.

As for who wants to expand the incident, it is not impossible to know.

Cao Cao took Guo Jia and Cheng Yu to the barracks under Dian Wei in the middle of the night, with Xu Chu guarding him behind him.

"Who is it? Stop quickly, this place is an important place for the military camp, do not enter without authorization!"

Because the fire was very dim, the soldiers did not see Cao Cao's people clearly.

"Presumptuous, Sikong is here!"

Xu Chu's voice like a tiger rang in the soldier's ears, and the soldier almost fell to his knees in shock.

"Stop talking nonsense and call the sergeant on duty at night!"

"promise!"

After that, Cao Cao and others entered the wine cellar under the leadership of the soldiers.

"What are these things used for?" Cao Cao asked.

"This...this is..."

The soldier was trembling with fear from Cao Cao, for fear that if he said the wrong thing, his head would move.

And even if he passed the current test, he would not be able to pass that test when Dian Wei came back.

"Don't worry, I know what your difficulties are, just tell me, and I won't make things difficult for you." Cao Cao said in relief.

Having said that, after the soldier stammered out everything, Cao Cao asked Xu Chu to kill him.

"My lord, what should I do?" Xu Chu asked.

"Heh, since they still have the mood to open a restaurant there, let's join in the fun!" Cao Cao said coldly.

From this person's mouth just now, I learned that Dian Wei is resting at home, and now Cao Peng and others are playing happily in Cao Zhi's Zhuangzi.
