After sending Li Qi away, Deng Guobin suddenly collapsed on the soft chair, without any strength in his body.

It's been eighteen years since I came to this city. The hot-blooded, vigorous, and single-soldier combat ability of the young man has become a philistine businessman with a shy belly and a rich body that can't be concealed. Over the years, he married and had children in the city. There are more than ten wives and concubines in the family, and there are nearly ten children. If you take this step according to Li Qi's request. All of this will soon come to naught......

However, it has been eighteen years since the burning ideal of reviving the Han dynasty when I was a teenager, but in fact, there is still a little fire left in my heart. Three or four years ago, didn't he also privately organize a family general to go to Chang'an to inquire about the news of the war? If it weren't for Shu Han in his heart, as well as Si Wencao, as a spy who was almost forgotten by the country, why would he do such a dangerous thing that might expose himself?

Not to mention that in the first few years after he arrived in Yecheng, if it weren't for Si Wencao's brothers who helped him clean up all kinds of competitors again and again, he would have been swallowed by others and had no bones left.

Moreover, with the death of Deng Ai, in fact, many people have been eyeing his family business. If it weren't for the fact that he had maintained a better relationship with the Cao family over the years. The Sima family didn't want to push the Cao family too much on the surface. I'm afraid I'll become nothing, right?

So, there is no difficulty in choosing what to do. The challenge is how to draw up the plan and ensure that it can be implemented smoothly.

As one of the few businesses in Yecheng, Deng Ji has a very important daily job: to deliver water to Yecheng Palace, that is, the super prison, every day.

Yecheng is located in the south of Zhangshui, and in this era, there are still some shallow groundwater resources in the city. But for the dignitaries, the taste of the well water is not good, and what they want to drink is the living water in the west of Yecheng City, upstream of Zhangshui. Therefore, since the time of Yuan Shao, the rule has been set: the government has designated one or two merchants to regularly carry water to the palace every day.

In the past, this was a fat gap: you could frequently enter and exit the palace of the supreme ruler of this regime. Even if there are no high-ranking officials at all. But as long as you can enter and exit this palace every day, you are successfully sending a signal: I am covered by a big man, don't beat my crooked ideas.

But from nineteen onwards, this is not fat: what is it to bring water to a group of prisoners? It can be said that since then, no one has been willing to take this errand.

If others don't pick it up, I'll pick it up. I was originally arranged by Si Wencao to deal with the people of the Cao family here. Deng Guobin, who was still full of enthusiasm and fantasy back then, took it very happily after pretending to shirk it when he was arranged by the government to do this errand.

Thirteen years have passed, and Deng Ji has sent water to the big prison of Yecheng Miyagi for thirteen years. Many people from the Cao family and the Xiahou family in the palace city, Deng Guobin, are familiar with it. Today, I finally have a chance to show it.

Three days later, Deng Guobin met Li Qi again in a secret place according to Li Qi's request.

"That's pretty much what the whole plan is. Deliver water to my brother when he enters Yecheng Palace, and then contact the people of the Cao family. Let them load Cao Yi in an empty water truck for his brother and transport it out. Then, in the early morning of the next day, when the water convoy for his brother went out of the city to get water, he sent Cao Yi out of the city. The rest of the matter is the matter of Brother Li. ”

“…… Well, if it can really be as Brother Deng said, it is practical. I just don't know the risks involved......"

"There's a lot of risk. But for the brothers, they have the confidence to resolve them one by one. But Brother Wei now needs one or two things that can convince the people of the Cao family that Brother Wei is the real Great Han Si Wen Cao and not the Jin State's marching Cao ......"

"This matter is easy. When the younger brother came here, Si Wenling had already thought of it. The younger brother has a pei (she, the ancient name of the wrench). It was given to Zhang Liao by Cao Cao in the past. It is engraved with Cao Cao's handwritten inscription 'stop crying'. It is to commend Zhang Liao for defeating the 100,000 army of Eastern Wu with 800 heroes, so that Jiangdong Xiaoer did not dare to cry at night in the name of Zhang Liao. In addition, there is a general's seal of the western chariot. It was given by Cao Rong when he worshiped Zhang He as the general of the Western Cavalry in the past. With these two things, you should be able to make the people of the Cao family believe in you. In addition, I have a handwritten letter from Zhang Hu, Zhang Xiong, Le Zhao, and Xu Ba. ”

"Pei Ji and the letter to me, the letter will not be needed this time. Now the caretaker of Yecheng is Sima Lun, the king of Zhao of the Jin Kingdom. This rabbit cub is incompetent, but the guards of the Cao family are particularly strict. Letters and other items must not be brought into Miyagi until they are in contact with reliable people. ”

"Good, the younger brother is waiting for the elder brother in the west of the city. Well, the younger brother also knows that it is difficult to determine the time for this kind of thing, but I still ask the elder brother to give me an approximate time. ”

"Well, the most intelligent and courageous person in the Cao family now is Princess Dongxiang, if she participates in this matter, it will be twice the result with half the effort. It's just that my brother doesn't know when I'll be able to meet her. So ......"

"Little brother understands. The younger brother found a place to hide outside the city. Wait for news from my brother. ”

"Good, take care."

"Take care, brother, there will be a period later."

…..

The next day, the ninth day of February. Mao time.

The sky was still dark, but the water convoy of Deng Kee Firm's dozens of meters long was already creaking in the streets of Yecheng. Residents of the houses along the way also began to get up to the sound of the watermill and prepare for the day's work.

"Yo, shopkeeper Deng. It's a personal escort again. ”

"Hehe, Wang Junhou, all the nobles live in this palace. I don't dare to slack off, I have to keep an eye on it. ”

"Hey, that's what you think of it for a kind person like you. If you want me to say, these guys, won't it be over if you dig a few more wells in Miyagi by yourself? What time is it? Still haven't figured out the situation? What water to drink and water to take for laundry must be separated...... Hmph, what do you have to do to save face? ”

"Hey, I don't dare to take this when the military waiter is here. I'm just a businessman. ”

"Uh-huh, it's a gaffe. Shopkeeper Deng, I'm sorry, according to the king's rules......"

"Body search, as it should be, as it should be. Come, come, my fellows of Deng Kee, calm down the mules and horses, and then stand still. Let the brothers under Wang Junhou do things quickly. After checking on us, people can go home and sleep in shifts. ”

It's been thirteen years, and the soldiers guarding the gate in Yecheng have changed several batches, and Deng Ji's buddies have also changed some. But Deng Guobin has persevered in thirteen years of wind and rain. Therefore, every guard in this Miyagi is familiar with him. He also remembered very well when the guards were on duty and when they were off duty.

"Hey, shopkeeper Deng, what do you have in your hand?"

"Well, it's Pei Wei. It's something that your generals put on their fingers when they shoot arrows to prevent them from being pulled up by the bowstring. But this Pei Ji of mine is made of jade. It's just an ornament. It's not practical. But it looks stylish on your hand, don't you think? ”

"Oh, I see. I'll just say why it's so familiar. Hey, I'm an infantryman, and I'm not good at using bows and arrows. Well, shopkeeper, why did you change a seal today? ”

"MB has a lot of children at home, and he is mischievous all day long. I don't know where the seal that Lao Tzu used to stamp was thrown by a few stinky boys. This is what I used when I first came to Yecheng more than ten years ago. I'm going to take it out today. ”

"Oh, that's right. Well, I'm fine here. Please also ask Shopkeeper Deng to wait. ”

"Whew~~ Fortunately, this guy is illiterate as I expected!" Deng Guobin, who was secretly relieved, still had that smiling expression on his face: "I know, I know, the brothers are loyal to the king, and we will do our best to cooperate in business." ”

"Well, it's not a matter of loyalty to the king. It's really that today's family is destroying the three clans at every turn. I don't want to come and see the door, and accidentally put dozens of people in my whole family. ”

After having the audacity to spit out the emperor's groove to his old acquaintance, Wang Junhou quickly realized that he had said too much. So he immediately kept silent. And Deng Guobin was not easy to answer at this time, so he could only stand there quietly and wait for the search of other soldiers.

"Waiting for the army, Team A has completed the body search, and the entire water transportation team has a total of 30 people, and none of them have prohibited entrained items on their bodies."

"Waiting for the army, Team B has finished searching the mules and horses. The whole team consisted of one hundred and twenty mules and horses. The reins and horseshoes of all the mules and horses have been carefully examined, and no abnormalities have been found. ”

"Waiting for the army, Team C has completed the search of the waterwheel. Sixty waterwheels, eighty buckets and forty manure buckets. The bucket is all filled with clean water and there is no other debris. The manure bucket is completely empty and free of debris. ”

Yes, there were no flushing toilets and sewers in this era. The excrement of thousands of people in the entire Yecheng Palace City needs to be transported by special personnel every day. The one who undertook the function of this shovel official was, of course, Deng Ji.

"Good, then let it go." Wang Junhou waved his hand gently, and the gate of Yecheng Palace City slowly opened.

With a slight sigh of relief, Deng Guobin happily arched his hand at Wang Junhou: "Junhou, this is the next duty, right?" Go back and make up for a nap and come to my store in the afternoon. Today, there is a new flavor of Yizhou fruit wine in the store. ”

"Oh, that's a good feeling. Okay, shopkeeper Deng, we'll see you in the afternoon! ”
