It's the same cell where Cao Zhen and others were imprisoned a month ago, and now there are new people.
In the corridor, the lights were dim. Chen Zao stared blankly at the two people in the cell, and suddenly felt the urge to hug each other and cry.
What happened this year?
We just left a bunch of little bullies, and now two big men are here!
Although the little bullies are overbearing, they are just a bunch of kids after all, and they can't afford to cause any trouble; but these two big men... There are fewer people, but the risk factor has increased. Just look at the two burly lions in the candlelight
An ordinary man sat face to face on a mat, kneeling on the mat. Although he didn't say a word, the cell was filled with a strong smell of gunpowder, which was still frightening even though the distance was still far away.
Chen Zao has been on tenterhooks ever since these two men were sent in.
The same goes for Mr. Cao. He knew that these two people were not to be dealt with, so he put them in a cell. Although the group of bullies before were not dealt with, they were detained separately after all, so there was no need to worry about their conflict. But now... look at this
The two of you may take action at any time.
And these two people are not people that Chen Zao can deal with.
Dian Wei and Xu Chu sat facing each other with serious faces.
There were about five or six steps between the two of them. Two pairs of eyes, four eyes were wide open, and no one was willing to blink. They looked like two fighting cocks, at war with each other.
"If you don't have someone to help you, you're nothing."
Xu Chu gritted his teeth and glared at Dian Wei.
Dian Wei immediately returned the look with a pair of eyes, "Zhongkang, I am willing to admit defeat! If you can't afford to lose, don't show off... Yes, someone is helping me, so what? I am popular and lucky! You can also find me
It’s a human gang. Don’t you have a few people in the 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 pounding.
Dian Wei snorted, closed his eyes, and ignored Xu Chu.
"You...are not really capable." Xu Chu lowered his voice.
Dian Wei curled his lips, touched the steel-needle-like beard under his chin, and said with a smile: "Is it really true? Anyway, I defeated you."
"What can I do if I win?" Xu Chu sneered, "Is it possible that you have someone to help you in your life?"
"I'm lucky." Dian Wei grinned and laughed, "My son is a sworn brother, so what's the problem if I ask him for help?"
Xu Chu's clenched fist suddenly loosened.
He also smiled, "Your son has a sworn sworn sworn relationship, doesn't my son also have a sworn sworn sworn relationship?"
Dianwei, don't be complacent. In Xiaobayi, my son is the second and your son is the third. According to this statement, your son has to call my son brother. It is easier for the second brother to ask for help than the third brother. Dian Wei
Jun Ming, let’s compete again next time to see who can win.”
The smile on Dian Wei's face suddenly condensed.
He opened his eyes, glared at Xu Chu and said, "Xu Zhongkang, you are so shameless!"
"Humph, this is not shameless. At most, it's just good luck. Someone traveled a long way to hire an expert, but in the end, he got an advantage over my kid."
"You, you, you...I'll go back and ask Aman and Afu to withdraw from Xiaobayi."
"Okay, you go back and try to see if they can agree? They swore an oath in front of Saint Kong. Ask them if they listen to you."
Xu Chu's mood suddenly became much better.
The depression that Dian Wei had suppressed before seemed to be relieved a lot at once.
Dian Wei said angrily: "Xu Zhongkang, you bastard, I have to teach you a lesson today."
"Come on, I've wanted to beat you up for a long time!" Xu Chu didn't show any signs of weakness. He straightened up and his eyes widened, "If you hadn't followed the lord earlier, and now the tiger is in the middle, would it be your turn?
Is it really important to rely on your son to get an advantage? In terms of fists and kicks, I can't beat you."
Two sturdy men stood up tall.
Outside the cell, Chen Zao and others felt their hearts pounding.
The fight started, the fight finally started...
"Brother, should we go over and stop him?"
"How can we stop them? If we go there, we will die. If these two really fight, who can stop them except Cao Sikong?"
Chen Zao's heart suddenly rose to his throat.
At this moment, two teenagers walked in from outside the prison door.
"What are you doing here?"
Chen Zao turned around and immediately became happy when he saw the person.
"The two gentlemen have arrived just in time. Come over quickly. The two generals are about to fight."
"ah?"
These two young men were none other than Dian Man and Xu Yi. They bought food and wine outside and wanted to persuade the two adults. Unexpectedly, Dian Wei and Xu Chu were at war with each other and were ready to take action... Dian Wei and Xu Chu were at war with each other.
Wei and Xu Yi each carried a food box and walked forward quickly.
"Why don't you stop me?"
Chen Zao cried immediately, "Sir, it's not just a villain who doesn't want to stop me, but it's really... two generals, who can stop me!"
Dian Wei Xu Yi ignored Chen Zao and quickly came outside the cell.
"Dad, stop!"
"Father, stop fighting, stop fighting..."
The boys' calls made Dian Wei and Xu Chu stop in their tracks.
"Aman, don't stop me. I must teach this stupid tiger a lesson today."
Xu Chu said angrily: "It's still unclear who will teach whom! Datou, you have also seen it. It's not that I want to do anything, but this guy is going too far to bully others."
Noriman said angrily: "Come quickly and open the door."
Xu Yi tried hard to persuade her, "Father, you and your uncle serve under the lord's account and are both bodyguards. Don't hurt your harmony, otherwise the lord will definitely punish you."
"Yes, dad...if you hurt Uncle Xu, my lord will definitely not be happy."
When Xu Chu heard this, he was unhappy.
"Aman, where do you start with these words? How can this guy hurt me? Even though he is taller than me, I can kill him with one hand."
Dian Wei was angry, "Just you? I can beat the shit out of you with my eyes closed."
"You are looking for death."
"Whoever seeks death may not do so."
"I have to teach you a lesson today."
"Come on, whoever dares to retreat is Sun Tzu."
"Come on, come on, I will fight San Lily with you."
"Bah, I can kill you at thirty times..."
Norimitsu's words immediately made the atmosphere that had just relaxed become tense again.
"Stop it, the lord is coming!"
In the prison, a roar suddenly sounded.
Dian Wei and Xu Chu immediately shut up and went back to sit down again.
Looking up, he saw Chen Zaozheng retreating. It was obvious that the roar came from him. But outside the prison, it was quiet and there was no sign of Cao Cao.
"You bastard, how dare you bully me?" Dian Wei was furious.
Xu Chu was also furious, "You little jailor, how dare you take the name of my lord? What's your name! I'll report back to my lord and I'll take your dog's life."
Chen Zao didn't even dare to fart and simply retreated into the shadows.
All the jailers looked at Chen Zao with admiration: The eldest brother is really powerful. He even dares to deceive these two people. Aren't he afraid that these two people will come out to deal with him?
Damn it, I will resign tomorrow.
Being such a small jailer is not enough to worry about. The salary is not much, and there is also the fear of life...I will join the army tomorrow!
Chen Zao secretly made up his mind.
But his roar really eased the atmosphere in the prison.
Dian Wei and Xu Chu stopped quarreling with each other and returned to their seats and knelt down.
Xu Yi signaled a jailer to come over and open the cell door, and he and Dianman walked into the cell carrying the food box. They opened the food box and took out the wine and meat.
"Dad, let's eat first."
Dian Wei nodded, looked down, and frowned.
"Why no wine?"
Dianman was startled and turned to look at Xu Yi.
But when Xu Yi opened the food box, all the drinks were inside.
"Butou, bring me the wine."
Xu Chu said angrily: "Why? My son brought this to me... Datou, why don't you even have any snacks? It's just food."
As he spoke, 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 saying that, he suddenly laughed. Dian Wei's smile also made Xu Chu stunned for a moment, and then he stopped laughing.
The two looked at each other and laughed at the same time...
Cao Ji, Cao Peng and his son rushed back to Wubao. It was already dark.
Deng Ji has just come back and is talking to Cao Nan. Cao Nan's belly is getting bigger every day. Counting the days, she is about to give birth!
As for Deng Ji, nothing happened.
When the Huben Army exercise is over, his mission is considered completed.
Win or lose?
Deng Ji didn't care. He just wanted to be with Cao Nan and give birth to the child in peace.
Ever since Cao Nan became pregnant, his family has never been in peace. The former Shangguan was transferred and the new county magistrate arrived, which made Deng Ji's position quite embarrassing at that time and he was bullied by Deng Cai. Later, Cao Peng's family came over and the situation improved a bit.
.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 by the government along with his parents.
After rescuing Cao Nan, he traveled thousands of miles from Nanyang County to Xudu.
Soon Feng Dianwei formed the Tiger and Ben Army, and Deng Ji went to help. This group lasted only a few months and did not even have time to accompany his wife.
Every time he thought about this, Deng Ji felt very ashamed.
Now that he is finally free, he naturally wants to spend time with his wife to make up for his past negligence.
"Dad, you're back!"
Deng Ji supported Cao Nan and was walking in the courtyard.
He doesn't have to worry about Cao Nan's physical condition, because there is a doctor at home. Zhang Zhongjing's disciple Dong Xiao now lives in Wubao. He usually has nothing to do, either reading a book or going to Huichun Hall to help Fei.
Xiao Kun, a famous gynecologist, diagnoses people. Dong Xiao's current situation is that he is excellent in theory, but has too little practical experience. In the field of traditional Chinese medicine, experience is very important. Old Chinese medicine, old Chinese medicine... This 'old' is not necessarily
When talking about age, it mostly refers to experience and seasoned experience.
Huichun Hall happens to be the place where Dong Xiao accumulated 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 because he actually hoped that he could gain a foothold in Xudu and find a way out for the Niyang Zhang family.
And this kind of thing cannot be rushed.
Dong Xiao living in Dian's house is a way of doing things in itself.
As the relationship between the Cao and Dian families becomes closer, and the Xiaobayi of Cao Peng and others appear, the Cao family will sooner or later occupy a place in Xudu.
This can be seen from the fact that Cao Ji was invited to perform martial arts today.
Therefore, Dong Xiao seemed very calm...
Cao Ji nodded and said nothing.
That serious expression made Deng Ji immediately have a premonition that something was going on.
He waved a maid over and helped Cao Nan leave. Deng Ji followed Cao Ji and others to the hall. After sitting down, he asked: "Dad, is something wrong?"
Cao Peng said: "Cao Gong would like to ask my father to serve as the First Supervisor of Hehe."
"He Yi's supervisory order?" Deng Ji was stunned for a moment, then realized it and said in surprise: "But Zhuye's supervisory order? This is a good thing!"
"It's good!" Cao Peng said: "In terms of skills, Dad doesn't have much problem.
In terms of skills, it is not too difficult to overwhelm the subordinates. At any rate, my father has achieved such a great reputation now, so I am not worried about that.
The problem is that my father has never been an official and does not understand the situation of Zhuye Supervisor at all.
I originally thought that it would not be difficult for my father to be a supervisor first, and after he became familiar with the affairs of the various supervisors, it would not be difficult for him to be promoted... But now, my father has become a supervisor all of a sudden. Although he has six hundred dan
Salary, but if something goes wrong, the gain will outweigh the loss."
Deng Ji immediately understood Cao Peng's worries.
It is undeniable that Cao Peng's worries are not unreasonable.
"Afu, I think you are worrying too much."
"oh?"
Cao Peng looked at Deng Ji doubtfully.
Deng Ji walked to Cao Ji and sat down next to him, "Dad, don't worry. The reason why Mr. Cao asked you to be his supervisor was because he valued your skills. As long as you have real skills, dad, what do you have to worry about?" Ah Fu said.
Yes, it makes sense, but who knows those things from birth? I don’t know much about things in the court, but when it comes to government offices like Zhuyejian... Haha, I do know a little bit about it.
What procedures and standards Ah Fu mentioned... are all set rules. As long as you follow them, it won't be a troublesome thing. When the time comes, you only need to arrange things, and someone will naturally keep an eye on them. As for those work officials
...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 during these more than ten years, the Heyi Workshop has basically been abandoned.
The situation. And the work officials in various places were also recruited by local powerful people, so it was difficult to find out clearly at the same time.
Therefore, what Dad needs to do now is to resume work at the Heyi Workshop as soon as possible and restart all the smelting supervision.
The reason why Duke Cao asked his father to be the supervisor of these smelting supervisors was because he wanted to rely on his skills and reputation... After all, his father is famous now. He made thirty-six Tiangang knives in three months. Who doesn't know? With this reputation,
, the problem of all the smelting supervisors is no longer difficult. After the Heyi Workshop resumes work, Duke Cao's ordnance will be supplied. The workers and officials from all over the country will return, and then it will be either what I say or what?"
Cao Peng was startled when he heard this, feeling as if he could see the sun through the clouds.
What Deng Ji said makes sense!
I seem to be a little bit over the top, a little biased...
The workers and officials scattered all over the country are actually not the main body of the various smelting supervisors. The real foundation of the various smelting supervisors is in Heyi Workshop. And Heyi Workshop is now in a state of paralysis and abandonment, with hundreds of wastes waiting to be revitalized. At this time, Cao Ji
In the past, it was like supporting Zhu Yejian with one hand.
When the time comes, will it not be Cao Ji who has the final say on Zhu Yejian’s matters?
"Brother-in-law, you are right."
Cao Ji also regained a lot of confidence now.
Just as Deng Ji said, in terms of skills alone, Cao Ji really doesn't scare anyone nowadays.
With the double-liquid quenching method and the powerful bellows... Cao Ji believed that he could hold up all the supervisors!
Deng Ji scratched his head, "But what Ah Fu said makes sense."
Don't be surprised, it's easy to get heart disease!
Cao Peng murmured to himself and asked quickly: "I would like to hear the details."
"Dad's advantages and disadvantages are equally obvious...Dad has no fame, and he is not literate. Of course, there is no need to worry about his skills, but he knows nothing about the matters in the court. If you can't find a suitable person,
Helper, I’m afraid this prison order won’t last long either.”
Cao Peng nodded, quite satisfied.
Cao Ji said: "What about that?"
“This…really needs some thought.
The official position of Zhuye Supervisor was not obvious, and in the past, doing things was equivalent to being an official. Generally, people with talent, knowledge, and reputation would not bother to do such things. Therefore, if dad wants to find helpers, he must find someone who is not famous or has a good family background, but has a good reputation.
You must have talented people, which is more troublesome."
Cao Peng couldn't help but frown and fell into deep thought.
"What should we do?"
Deng Ji thought for a while, "There are many famous people in Yingchuan, and there are countless talented and learned people. But if you want to find suitable helpers, it may be difficult."
Well, I'll go find Fengxiao tomorrow.
At any rate, he and I are from the same sect, so I think he won’t refuse. He is from Yingchuan, and he has a lot of connections with Han scholars, so he might be able to find a suitable candidate. If not, I will go with him to pay a visit to the Lord Attendant...
...He has a wide range of contacts, so he will definitely be able to help. Anyway, the helper I am looking for does not need to be very capable. Just be literate, know the affairs of the court, and have good moral character..."
"The most important thing is morality!"
Cao Peng couldn't help but interrupt.
Deng Ji nodded repeatedly in agreement.
At this time, Cao Ji had let go of his worries and seemed much more relaxed.
This son, this son-in-law... can indeed share his worries and solve his problems at critical moments. How could we be so dedicated if we were not a family?
Cao Ji couldn't help but sigh, 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 had made an appointment with Cao Zhen to call Dian Man and Xu Yi to visit Dian Wei and Xu Chu.
At the same time, Cao Peng also wanted to inquire with Cao Zhen to see if he had a suitable candidate.
After all, Cao Zhen is a descendant of Cao Cao and is well-known in Xudu. It is urgent to find helpers for Cao Ji. Once Cao Cao's appointment is official, Cao Ji will have to go to Xingyang immediately to take up his post. Time does not wait.
Man, the sooner you settle this matter, the sooner you worry about it.
The day for Cao Cao to conquer Yuan Shu is getting closer.
It is said that Cao Cao sent someone 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 stay in Xudu will not be too long!
Cao Cao, I have seen it!
Although there was no real contact, we saw it after all...
