The revival of Shu Han

Chapter 224 I am Si Wencao ([-])
After sending Li Qi away, Deng Guobin collapsed on the soft chair without any strength in his whole body.

It has been 18 years since I came to this city.That hot-blooded, vigorous, individual combat-capable young man has become a philistine businessman with a small belly and a rich appearance that can't be concealed.Over the years, he married and had children in this city.There are more than ten wives and concubines in the family, and nearly ten children.If you take this step according to Li Qi's request.These will soon be wiped out...

However, it has been 18 years since the burning ideal of revitalizing the Han Dynasty when I was young, in fact, there is still a little spark left in my heart.Three or four years ago, didn't I also secretly organize a family general to go to Chang'an to inquire about the news of the great war?If he didn't still have Shu Han and Si Wencao in his heart, 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 when he first arrived in Yecheng, if Si Wencao's brothers hadn't helped him clean up all kinds of competitors time and time again, he would have been swallowed up by others to the bone.

Moreover, with Deng Ai's death in battle, his family business, in fact, has been followed by many people.If it weren't for the fact that I have maintained a better relationship with the Cao family over the years.The Sima family didn't want to force the Cao family to go too far in the open.I'm afraid I will become nothing, right?
So, what to choose is not difficult.The difficulty is how to draw up related plans and ensure the smooth implementation of the plans.

As one of the most famous companies in Yecheng, Dengji Company has a very important daily job: delivering water to Miyagi, Yecheng City, that is, the super prison every day.

Yecheng is located to the south of Zhangshui River. In this era, there are still some shallow groundwater resources in the city.But for the dignitaries, the well water tastes bad, and what they want to drink is the running water from the west of Yecheng and the upper reaches of Zhangshui.Therefore, from the time of Yuan Shao, the rules were established: the government designated one or two merchants to regularly transport water to the palace city every day.

In the past, this was a fat job: you could frequently enter and leave the palace of the supreme ruler of this regime.Even if you don't see any senior officials at all.But as long as you can enter and leave this palace city every day, you are successfully sending out a signal: I am surrounded by big bosses, don't play with my crooked ideas.

But since 19, this is no longer a fat job: what is it to deliver water to a group of prisoners?It can be said that since then, no one has been willing to take up 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 Cao family here.Deng Guobin, who was still full of passion and fantasy back then, was very happy to accept the job after pretending to shirk it when he was assigned this job by the government.

For 13 years, Deng Ji Company has delivered water to the large prison in Miyagi, Yecheng for 13 years.Many members of the Cao family and Xiahou family in Miyagi, Deng Guobin, are familiar with it.Today, I finally have the opportunity to display it.

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

"The whole plan is roughly like this. Bring water for my brother into the palace of Yecheng, and then contact the people of the Cao family. Let them transport Cao Ti out of my brother's empty water truck. Then the water for my brother in the early morning of the next day When the convoy leaves the city to fetch water, send Cao Ti out of the city. The rest is up to Brother Li."

"...Well, if it can be done as Brother Deng said, it is feasible. I just don't know the risks involved..."

"There are still many risks here. But Brother Wei has the confidence to resolve them one by one. But Brother Wei needs one or two things now, so that the people of the Cao family can believe that Brother Wei is the real Han Siwen Cao and not Jin Guo Jin Zou Cao..."

"This matter is easy. Si Wenling had already thought about it when I came here. I have a peiwei (she, the ancient name for pulling the finger) here. It was a reward from Cao Cao to Zhang Liao in the past. It is engraved with Cao Cao's own handwriting The inscription "stop crying" is to commend Zhang Liao's feat of defeating the [-] army of Soochow with [-] strong men, making Jiangdong's children dare not cry at night in the name of Zhang Liao. There is also a general who conquered the west chariot Seal. It was given by Cao Rui in the past when he worshiped Zhang Ying as the general of the western chariot. With these two things, the people of the Cao family should trust you. In addition, I have Zhang Hu, Zhang Xiong, Le Zhao, A handwritten letter from the four of Xu Ba."

"Give me Peiwei and Yinxin. I don't need the letter this time. The guard in Yecheng is Sima Lun, King Zhao of Jin. This bastard is useless, but the guard of Cao's family is very strict. There is no contact." Letters and the like must never be brought into Miyagi before you are a reliable person."

"Good, then the younger brother is waiting for the elder brother in the west of the city. Uh, 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 is Dongxiang Princess. If she participates in this matter, it will be twice as effective. It's just that I don't know when I will meet her. So..."

"Little brother understands. Little brother is looking for a place to hide outside the city. Wait for news from brother."

"Good, dear brother, take care."

"Brother, take care, there will be a period later."

.....
The next day, the ninth day of February.Maoshi.

The sky was still pitch black, but Deng Ji's fleet of tens of meters of water was already creaking on the streets of Yecheng.The residents in the houses along the way also listened to the sound of the waterwheel and began to get up and prepare for the day's work.

"Hey, shopkeeper Deng. He personally escorted the car again."

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

"Hey, only a kind person like you thinks this way. Let me tell you, these guys, if they dig a few more wells in Miyagi, it's over. What time is it now? Haven't figured out the situation yet? What's the matter? The water used for laundry must be separated from the water used for washing... Hmph, why do you have to save face?"

"Hey, I don't dare to answer Junhou's words. I'm just a businessman."

"Yeah, I made a slip of the tongue. Shopkeeper Deng, I'm sorry, according to the king's rules..."

"Search, it should be so, it should be so. Come on, come on, my guys from Deng Ji, calm down the mules and horses, and then stand still. Let the brothers under Wang Junhou's command work quickly. After checking us, people It’s better to change shifts and go home to sleep.”

In the past 13 years, the soldiers who guard the gate in Yecheng have changed several batches, and Deng Ji's buddies have also changed some.But Deng Guobin persevered for 13 years without hesitation.Therefore, every guard in Miyagi knew him very well.He also remembered clearly when the guards were on duty and when they were off duty.

"Hey, shopkeeper Deng, what's in your hand?"

"This, it's a peacock. It's something you put on your fingers when you shoot an arrow to prevent it from being pulled by the bowstring. But my peacock is made of jade. It's just an ornament. It's not practical. However, it is worn on the It looks classy in your hands, don't you think?"

"Oh, that's how it is. I just said why it looks 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's family has a lot of children, and they make troubles all day long. I don't know where the seal I used to stamp was thrown away by some brats. This was when I first came to Yecheng more than ten years ago. Use it. Take it out today for an emergency.”

"Oh, that's it. Well, I'm fine here. Please wait a while, Shopkeeper Deng."

"Huh~~ It's a good thing this guy is illiterate as I expected!" Deng Guobin, who was secretly relieved, still had that smiley expression on his face: "I know, brothers are loyal to the king, and we must do business." Do your best to cooperate."

"Hey, it's not a question of loyalty to the king. It's just that today's family members are all barbarians. I don't want to see a door and accidentally put dozens of members of my family in."

After daring to spit out the emperor's faults to his old acquaintances, Wang Junhou soon realized that he had said too much.So immediately shut up.And Deng Guobin was not easy to answer at this time, so he could only stand there quietly waiting for other soldiers to search.

"Reporting to the Marquis, Team A has completed the body search. The entire water transportation team has a total of 30 people, and none of them has any prohibited items."

"Reporting to the Marquis, Team B has finished searching the mules and horses. There are 120 mules and horses in the entire team. The reins and horseshoes of all the mules and horses have been carefully inspected, and no abnormalities were found."

"Reporting to the Marshal, Team C has finished searching the water trucks. Sixty water trucks, eighty buckets and forty excrement buckets. The buckets are all filled with clean water and there is no other debris. The excrement buckets are all empty and there is no debris. .”

Yes, this is an era without flush toilets and sewers.The excrement of thousands of people in the entire palace city of Yecheng needs to be transported out by special personnel every day.Deng Ji is of course the one who undertakes the function of shit shoveling officer.

"Shan, let's let it go." Wang Junhou waved his hand lightly, and the gate of the palace city of Yecheng opened slowly.

Heaving a sigh of relief, Deng Guobin cheerfully cupped his hands at Wang Junhou: "Junhou, is this the next duty? Go back and catch up on sleepiness, and come to my shop in the afternoon. Is there any in the shop today?" A new taste of Yizhou fruit wine."

"Oh, that's a good relationship. Okay, shopkeeper Deng, see you this afternoon!"
