Cao Thief

Chapter 117 River One Workshop
Xu Du, prison.

It was still the same cell, where Cao Zhen and others were imprisoned a month ago, and now there is a newcomer.

In the corridor, the lights were dim.Chen Zao stared blankly at the two people in the cell, and suddenly felt an urge to hug each other and cry.

What happened this year?
A group of little overlords have just left, and now two big masters are here!

Although the little overlords are domineering, they are a group of children after all, and they can't afford to cause any trouble; but these two big masters...there are fewer people, but the risk factor has increased.Just look at the candlelight, two burly men like a lion, sitting face to face on the cattail mat.Although he didn't say a word, the cell was filled with a strong smell of gunpowder, even though the distance was still far away, it was still frightening.

Ever since the two masters were sent in, Chen Zao had been on tenterhooks.

The same is true of Mr. Cao. He knew that the two of them would not deal with him, so he arranged them in a cell.Although the group of little overlords did not deal with them before, they were detained separately after all, so there is no need to worry about their conflicts.But now... Judging from the meaning of these two, it is possible to do it at any time.

And these two were not characters that Chen Zao could handle.

Dian Wei and Xu Chu sat face to face with sullen faces.

There are about five or six steps between them, two pairs of pupils, four eyes wide open, neither one is willing to blink, just like two fighting cocks, their swords are on the verge of breaking out.

"If someone didn't help you, your tiger is nothing."

Gritting his teeth, Xu Chu stared at Dian Wei and said.

Dian Wei immediately responded with a pair of ring eyes, "Zhongkang, I would like to admit defeat! If you can't afford to lose, then don't try to be brave... That's right, someone will help me, so what? I am popular and lucky! You can also find someone to help me." People help. Are there still few people in your Xu family? Why don't you look for them?"

"you……"

Xu Chu was so angry that the veins on his forehead were exposed, and his temples were throbbing.

Dian Wei snorted, closed his eyes, and ignored Xu Chu.

"You... are not really capable." Xu Chu lowered his voice.

Dian Wei curled his mouth, stroked the steel needle-like beard under his jaw, and said with a smile: "Is it true? Anyway, I beat you."

"So what if I win?" Xu Chu sneered, "Could it be possible that you will have someone to help you all your life?"

"I'm lucky." Dian Wei grinned and laughed loudly, "My son is sworn brothers with him, so what's the problem if I ask him for help?"

Xu Chu's clenched fist suddenly loosened.

He also laughed, "Your son is sworn sworn brother, doesn't my son not sworn sworn brother?

Dian Wei, don't be complacent.In Xiaobayi, my son can do two, and your son can do three.According to this statement, your son has to call my son and elder brother.It's always easier for the second brother to ask for help than the third brother.Dian Junming, let's try again next time to see who can win. "

The smile on Dian Wei's face froze immediately.

He opened his eyes, glared at Xu Chu and said, "Xu Zhongkang, you are so shameless!"

"Hmph, it's not shameless, at most it's just luck. Someone traveled a long way to hire an expert, but it turned out to be cheap for my child."

"You, you, you... I'll go back and let Aman and Afu withdraw from Xiaobayi."

"Okay, go back and try to see if they can agree? They made an oath in front of Confucius. Ask them if they will listen to you."

Xu Chu's mood suddenly became much lighter.

The depression that was suppressed by Dian Wei before seemed to be relieved a lot at once.

Dian Wei said angrily: "Xu Zhongkang, you bastard, I must teach you a lesson today."

"Come on, I've wanted to beat you up!" Xu Chu didn't show any weakness, straightened his waist, and opened his eyes wide, "If you hadn't followed the lord earlier, now it's your turn to be Hu Ben Zhonglang General? How can you rely on your son to gain advantage? In terms of fists and kicks, I will not lose to you."

Two burly men stood up tall.

Outside the cell, Chen Zao and the others felt a thump in their hearts.

Fighting, finally going to fight...

"Brother, do we want to stop him?"

"What's stopping it? Let's go over and die. If these two really fight, who can stop it except Cao Sikong?"

Chen Zao's heart suddenly rose to his throat.

At this moment, two teenagers walked in from the prison door.

"What are you doing here?"

Chen Zao turned around, and when he saw the person, he was immediately happy.

"The two sons came just in time, hurry up, the two generals are about to fight."

"what?"

These two teenagers are Dian Man and Xu Yi.The two bought wine, meat and meals outside, and wanted to persuade the two adults.Unexpectedly, due to the delay, Dian Wei and Xu Chu were ready to attack... Dian Wei and Xu Yi each carried a food box and walked forward quickly.

"You guys, why don't you stop it?"

Chen Zao burst into tears, "My lord, it's not that the villain doesn't want to stop it, it's really...the two generals, who can stop it!"

Dian Wei and Xu Yi ignored Chen Zao and hurried to the outside of the cell.

"Father, stop!"

"Father, stop beating, stop beating..."

The shouts of the teenagers made both Dian Wei and Xu Chu stop.

"Aman, you don't have to stop me, I have to teach this stupid tiger a lesson today."

Xu Chu said angrily, "It's unknown who will teach you a lesson! Big head, you have seen it too. It's not that I want to do it. In fact, this guy is too deceitful."

Dianman said angrily, "Come quickly and open the door."

Xu Yi tried hard to persuade, "Father, you and your uncle are serving under the lord's account, and you are both guards. Don't hurt your friendship, otherwise the lord will definitely punish you."

"That's right, father... If you hurt Uncle Xu, my lord will not be happy."

When Xu Chu heard this, he was not happy.

"Aman, where did you say that? With this guy, can he hurt me? Even though he is taller than me, I can kill him with one hand."

Dian Wei was angry, "It's up to you? I can beat the shit out of you with my eyes closed."

"You are courting death."

"Who is looking for death, not necessarily."

"Today I must teach you a lesson."

"Come on, whoever dares to retreat is the grandson."

"Come, come, I will fight Sanbaihe with you."

"Bah, I can kill my dog ​​at thirty..."

Dianman's words immediately made the atmosphere that had just eased up tense again.

"Stop it all, the lord is here!"

In the prison, a roar suddenly sounded.

Dian Wei and Xu Chu immediately shut up, went back and sat down again.

Looking up, I saw Chen Zao shrinking back.Obviously, that roar came from his mouth.But outside the prison, it was quiet, and there was no trace of Cao Cao.

"You bastard, how dare you bully me?" Dian Wei was furious.

Xu Chu was also bearded, "Little jailer, how dare you take the name of the lord? What's your name! Wait for me to report to the lord, and I will take your dog's life."

Chen Zao didn't even dare to fart, and directly retreated into the shadows.

A group of prison guards looked at Chen Zao with admiring eyes: Big brother is really powerful, even dare to lie to these two, aren't you afraid that these two will come out to deal with him?

Damn, I will resign tomorrow.

Being such a little jailer is not enough to be frightened.My salary is not much, and my life is in danger... I will join the army tomorrow!

Chen Zao secretly made up his mind.

But his roar did ease the atmosphere in the prison.

Dian Wei and Xu Chu stopped arguing with each other, and went back to their mats and knelt down.

Xu Yi motioned for a jailer to come and open the cell door, and He Dianman walked into the cell with a food box.The two of them opened the food box and took out the wine and meat.

"Father, let's eat first."

Dian Wei nodded, looked down, but frowned.

"Why no wine?"

Dianman was startled, and turned to look at Xu Yi.

But when Xu Yi opened the food box, all the wine was inside.

"Big head, bring me the wine."

Xu Chu said angrily: "Why? My son brought it to me... Datou, why don't you even have a snack, only meals."

While talking, he raised his head and saw plates of meat in the food box in front of Dian Wei.

"Aman, bring me the food."

Dian Wei said, "My son brought this to me!"

After all, he suddenly smiled.Dian Wei's smile also made Xu Chu stunned for a moment, and then he couldn't help laughing.

The two looked at each other and laughed at the same time...

--------------------------

Cao Ji, Cao Peng and his sons rushed back to Wubao, and it was almost dark.

Deng Ji also just came back and was talking with Cao Nan.Cao Nan's stomach is getting bigger every day.Count the days, and soon give birth!
As for Deng Ji, nothing happened.

When the Huben Army's exercise was over, his mission was considered complete.

Win or lose?

Deng Ji didn't care, he just wanted to be with Cao Nan, and give birth to the child safely.

Ever since Cao Nan became pregnant, his family has never been safe.The former Shangguan was transferred away, and the new county magistrate arrived, which made Deng Ji's position quite awkward at that time, and was bullied by Deng Cai.Later, Cao Peng's family came over, and the situation improved somewhat.But not long after, Deng Ji was drafted into the army. Although he saved his life, he lost an arm.Moreover, Cao Nan was detained and arrested by the government along with his parents.

After rescuing Cao Nan, he wandered thousands of miles from Nanyang County to Xudu.

Soon, when Dianwei formed the Huben Army, Deng Ji went to help.This gang lasted for a few months and didn't even have time to spend with their wives.

Every time I think of this, Deng Ji feels very ashamed.

Now that he is finally free, he naturally wants to accompany his wife to make up for his past negligence.

"Father, you're back!"

Deng Ji supported Cao Nan and was walking in the courtyard.

He didn't have to worry about Cao Nan's physical condition, because there was a doctor at home.Dong Xiao, Zhang Zhongjing's disciple, now lives in Wubao.Usually I have nothing to do, either reading books, or going to Huichun Hall to help Xiao Kun, a not-so-famous expert in gynecology, diagnose people.Dong Xiao's current situation is that he is excellent in theory but has too little practical experience.In Chinese medicine, experience is very important.Old Chinese medicine, old Chinese medicine... The "old" does not necessarily refer to age, but more to experience, the sophistication of experience.

Huichuntang happens to be the place where Dong Xiao accumulated his practice.

Dong Xiao's life is very simple and healthy, and his material requirements are not too high.

Zhang Zhongjing asked Dong Xiao to come to Xudu, in fact, he hoped that he could gain a foothold in Xudu, gain a firm foothold, and find a way out for the Nieyang Zhang family.

And this kind of thing can't be rushed.

Dong Xiao's living in Dian's house is a way of dealing with things in itself.

As the relationship between Cao and Dian became closer, and Cao Peng and others' Xiaobayi appeared, sooner or later the Cao family would occupy a place in Xudu.

This point can be seen from today's martial arts performance and Cao Ji's invitation.

Therefore, Dong Xiao seemed very quiet...

Cao Ji nodded without making a sound.

That serious expression made Deng Ji immediately feel that something was going to happen.

He beckoned a maidservant to come over and helped Cao Nan to leave.Deng Ji followed Cao Ji and others to the hall, sat down and asked, "Dad, is something wrong?"

Cao Peng said: "Dr. Cao wants to ask father to be the supervisor of Heyi."

"Heyi Supervisor Order?" Deng Ji was stunned for a moment, then realized immediately, and said pleasantly, "But Zhuye Supervisor Order? This is a good thing!"

"What's so good!" Cao Peng said, "In terms of skills, Dad doesn't have a big problem.

In terms of skill, it is not too difficult to frighten those workers and subordinates.At any rate, my father has created a great reputation now, I'm not worried about that.

The problem is, father has never been an official, so he doesn't know the situation of Zhuye prison at all.

I originally thought that it would not be difficult for Dad to be a supervisor first, and then get promoted after getting familiar with the affairs of Supervisor Zhuye... But now, Dad has suddenly become a supervisor.Although there is a salary of six hundred shi, if something goes wrong, the gain will not be worth the loss. "

Deng Ji immediately understood Cao Peng's worries.

It is undeniable that Cao Peng's worries are not unreasonable.

"Ah Fu, I think you are worrying too much."

"Oh?"

Cao Peng looked at Deng Ji suspiciously.

Deng Ji walked up to Cao Ji and sat down, "Father, don't worry. The reason why Cao Gong worshiped you as the supervisor is because he valued your skills. As long as you have real skills, what do you have to be afraid of? Ah Fu said Yes, although it makes sense, who knows those things from birth? I don’t know much about the affairs of the court, but if you talk about official offices like Zhuyejian... Hehe, I do know a little bit.

What kind of process is Ah Fu talking about, the standards... are all set rules, just follow them, and it's not a troublesome thing.At that time, you only need to arrange things, and someone will naturally watch.As for those workers... I think Ah Fu thinks too much.It has been more than ten years since the Heyi Workshop stopped working in the first year of Zhongping.It can be said that in the past ten years, the Heyi Workshop was basically in a state of abandonment.And the workers and officials from all over the country were also attracted by the local tyrants, so it was difficult to track down all of them for a while.

Therefore, what father needs to do now is to resume work at Heyi Workshop as soon as possible, and restart Zhuye Supervisor.

The reason Cao Gong asked father to be the supervisor of the Zhuye Supervisor was to rely heavily on father's skills and reputation... After all, father is now famous, and he made 36 Tiangang knives in three months, who knows?With this reputation, the problem of Zhuye Supervisor is no longer difficult.After Heyi Workshop resumed work, Mr. Cao's armaments were supplied.Workers and officials from all over the country should return. At that time, it will not be what dad said, but what? "

Cao Peng was taken aback when he heard this, and felt as if he could see the sun behind the clouds.

What Deng Ji said makes sense!
I seem to be a little cornered, a little biased...

The workers and officials scattered all over the place were not actually the main body of the Zhuyejian.The real foundation of Zhuyejian is in Heyi Workshop.And the Heyi Workshop is now in a state of paralysis and abandonment, waiting to be rebuilt.When Cao Ji went over at this time, it was tantamount to supporting Zhu Yejian with one hand.

When the time comes, Cao Ji will have the final say on Zhu Yejian's affairs?
"Brother-in-law, you are right."

Cao Ji also regained a lot of confidence at this moment.

As Deng Ji said, in terms of skill alone, Cao Ji is really not afraid of anyone now.

With the double-liquid quenching method, with the powerful bellows... Cao Ji believed that he would be able to support Zhu Ye Jian!

Deng Ji scratched his head, "However, what Ah Fu said makes sense."

Don't be surprised, it's easy to get a heart attack!
Cao Peng murmured to himself, and quickly asked, "I would like to hear more about it."

"Father's strengths and weaknesses are equally obvious...Father has no fame and is not literate. Naturally, you don't need to worry about your skills, but you don't know anything about the affairs of the court. If you can't find a suitable Helper, I'm afraid this prison order won't last long."

Cao Peng nodded, quite approvingly.

Cao Ji said, "How about that?"

"This...it really takes a lot of thought.

The official position of Zhuye Supervisor is not obvious, and in the past, doing things was equivalent to being an official.Generally, people with talent, learning and reputation don't bother to do such things.So if dad wants to find a helper, he has to find someone who is not well-known and has no family background, but must be talented. This is more troublesome. "

Cao Peng couldn't help but frowned, lost in thought.

"What should I do?"

Deng Ji thought for a while, "There are many famous people in Yingchuan, and there are countless talented people. But if you want to find a suitable helper, it may be difficult.

How about this, I will go to find Feng Xiao tomorrow.

Anyway, he and I are also considered to be from the same school, so he will definitely not refuse.He is from Yingchuan, and he has a lot of friends with poor people, so maybe he can find a suitable candidate.If it's not enough, I'll go with him to pay a visit to Master Shizhong... He has a wide range of people, so he must be able to help.Anyway, the helper Dad is looking for doesn't need to be too skilled.Literacy, knowledge of court affairs, and good morals are enough..."

"The most important thing is virtue!"

Cao Peng couldn't help but interrupt.

Deng Ji nodded again and again in agreement.

At this time, Cao Ji could be regarded as letting go of his worries a little, and seemed much more relaxed.

This son, a son-in-law... At critical times, he was indeed able to solve his problems.If it weren't for a family, how could they do their best?
Cao Ji couldn't help but sigh with emotion, at the critical moment, it has to be his own family!
—————————————————————————————
Early the next morning, Deng Ji and Cao Peng went out.

Deng Ji was going to visit Guo Jia, while Cao Peng made an appointment with Cao Zhen to call Dianman and Xu Yi to visit Dianwei Xu Chu.

At the same time, Cao Peng also wanted to ask Cao Zhen to see if he had a suitable candidate.

After all, Cao is really a descendant of Cao Cao, and he has a lot of people in Xudu.It is urgent to find helpers for Cao Ji.Once Cao Cao's appointment is formalized, Cao Ji has to go to Xingyang immediately to take up his post.Time waits for no one, the earlier this matter is settled, the earlier it is, it is a matter of concern.

The day when Cao Cao conquered Yuan Shu was approaching.

It is said that Cao Cao sent people to Jiangdong to contact Sun Ce...

Once these people are properly contacted, Cao Cao will send troops to Shouchun.Cao Peng has a feeling that his time in Xudu will not be too long!
Cao Cao, I have seen it!

Although I haven't really touched it, I have seen it after all...

So who will you meet next?
In Cao Peng's heart, he couldn't help looking forward to it!
