Chapter 537 Mr. Deng
"When it comes to Boss Su's backer, the old acquaintances in Fugui Villa should know it."
"I really don't know about this. I only started to get goods from Fugui Villa in the first year of Taining. At that time, the villa was built for several years."
"I know! Boss Su's backer is a planner, right?"
"Now I have to change my words and call him Lord Ji."
"Which master is the master?"
"Who else can it be? It's the magistrate of Gaoshan County!"
"Mr. Ji is actually Boss Su's backer. Could it be that the two families are relatives."
"You will know that you are not an old acquaintance in Fugui Villa. You have not figured out the origin of Lord Ji. At the beginning, Lord Ji was the head of a farmhouse under the Princess's Mansion. Because he was smart, he was promoted by Mrs. Yan. His first job was the shopkeeper of the No. 1 store in the North and South Miscellaneous Soup, which happened to be opposite Suji pickle shop. Do you understand?"
"So that's the case. Just because I used to play the opposite door and had been a neighbor for a few years, Lord Ji became Boss Su's backer. Boss Su was lucky and he hugged him."
"Hahaha, everyone who is familiar with Boss Su knows that he only has one hobby and must drink a bowl of mixed soup at the miscellaneous soup shop every day. After a while, he became an acquaintance from neighbors. When he arrived in Pingyang County, everyone was an outsider who was not familiar with the place, so he naturally had to join in."
"Boss Su's fortune is OK, it's thriving."
"I wonder if those civilians in the capital who refused to follow Mrs. Yan to the south now under Sima Dou's rule."
"I heard that Sima Dou is rich in taxes and taxes, and the people in the capital can barely survive."
"I have never been there since Gyeonggi fell into Sima Dou's hands. Now, I can't tell you what the situation is like."
"Who said no? I pity my uncles, all of them are still in Jingji. Now that the news is broken, I don't know if the family is still alive."
"If you don't talk about these, you're very sad. Drink, drink..."
This group of old acquaintances from Fugui Villa rarely get together, so they naturally have to drink to rest.
...
County governor's office.
Yan Yunge received a "rare guest" and was also an acquaintance.
Lin Xiaobao, the former prisoner, has now become Sima Dou's diplomat and serves as the head of the Ministry of Commerce.
The face-changing of bird guns and cannons is different now.
Even his temperament has changed and he has already become an official.
Yan Yunge exclaimed, "Now we should call you Lord Lin."
"Madam, you are kind to you! It was the lady who made the official career today. Without the cultivation of her, I would not be as good as Lin Xiaobao. I am grateful to my wife from the bottom of my heart."
"Don't you hate me?"
Lin Xiaobao shook his head with a smile, "Only grateful, no hatred."
Yan Yunge pursed her lips and smiled, "I think it's not for reminiscing about the past."
"Mrs. This time, I came on behalf of my Emperor Daqi and wanted to discuss business with her."
Yan Yunge laughed, "Do you know what you are talking about?"
Lin Xiaobao's heart was actually a little weak.
He was sent to Sima Dou. He relied on his childhood affection and sent someone to secretly operate, and finally met Sima Dou successfully.
He honestly explained his experiences over the past few years as Yan Yunge's instructions.
At the beginning, Sima Dou did not pay attention to him and only gave him a false position, which was considered a complete relationship between the villagers.
With the Liangzhou Governor Liu Zhang sent troops, Shi Wen and Yan Shou Zhan also began to join the battle of sharing pork, and Sima Doudun felt the pressure doubled.
The trade route is cut off and there is a shortage of materials, so it is urgent to open up a trade route.
At this time, Sima Dou, at the suggestion of the court officials, thought of Pingyang County and Lin Xiaobao, who had been sitting on the bench.
No one is more familiar with Pingyang County than Lin Xiaobao, and he has had a direct conversation with Yan Yunge several times, and he is barely considered an acquaintance.
Lin Xiaobao was promoted by the fire, was ordered to come to Pingyang County with a mission.
He gritted his teeth and said to Yan Yunge: "My wife arranged for the Xiaguan to lurk beside Sima Dou to find out the news. This time, Xiaguan was ordered to be in danger. If he returned empty-handed, Sima Dou would not give me a second time.
It is undoubtedly a dream to gain Sima Dou's trust. If the wife is willing to let go of her fingers and ask me to bring some of the supplies back, then I will definitely live up to my wife's instructions and find confidential information for her."
Yan Yunge gently tapped the table, "Who gave you the courage to bargain with me?"
Sweat beads appeared on Lin Xiaobao's forehead, and he forced himself to say, "Of course it was the courage given by his wife."
Yan Yunge smiled softly, "As the wife of the Great Wei Dynasty, I should arrest you and throw you into prison. However, I am willing to give you a chance. Tell me, who knows if you go to Pingyang County this time?"
"Reporting to my wife, all the confidant advisers around Sima Dou know about this. Along the way, the officials were all dressed up and pretended to be businessmen. No one should have seen through my identity. After entering Pingyang County, they were always careful and did not dare to disturb anyone."
Yan Yunge nodded, "Tell me about Sima Dou's situation with my wife, who are his confidant advisers? Who is the person he trusts the most?"
Lin Xiaobao thought about it, "I don't hide it from my wife, Sima Dou doesn't trust my subordinates, so my subordinates know only a limited knowledge. Let's talk about it for a moment, please let the wife judge right or wrong."
"Tell me! My wife listen to what you said, and whether it is consistent with what I have."
Lin Xiaobao is under great pressure.
This is a chore.
but……
As the saying goes, wealth and honor are in danger.
In order to seek wealth, he fought hard.
He racked his brains and tried hard to recall, "Madam Qi Biao, Sima Dou had three great counselors, Prime Minister Niu, Shangshu Xu, and Lord Jia. However, I heard those palace ladies secretly discussing it, it seemed that there was a Mr. Deng behind these three. However, almost no one had seen Mr. Deng's true face.
Moreover, Mr. Deng did not hold an official position in the court. The palace ladies also said that Sima Dou trusted Prime Minister Niu and others on the surface, but in fact he trusted Mr. Deng more, who had never appeared. He heard that many decisions were suggestions given by Mr. Deng.”
Yan Yunge was very curious, "Do you know the origin of this Mr. Deng?"
"I don't know! I just heard that Mr. Deng followed Sima Dou to make suggestions a few years ago. Without Mr. Deng's plan, Sima Dou would have been wiped out by the officers and soldiers."
"Oh! I heard that, Mr. Deng is a founding hero of the 'Da Qi'. Why didn't he hold an official position in the court? Few people even saw his true face? Could it be that Mr. Deng is a fictional character, which is used to bluff people?"
"Mr. Deng is by no means a fiction, there is indeed such a character."
"How can I see it?"
Lin Xiaobao said carefully: "I seem to have met this Mr. Deng."
"How do you say this?"
Lin Xiaobao whispered: "Mrs. Tell me to inquire about the news from many sources, so I often hang out in the market. Once, when it was dark, I was drinking in a brothel. I was vaguely seeing the confidant eunuch beside Sima Dou, following an old man. I heard that they called the old man Mr."
Yan Yunge shook his head repeatedly, "Just just by your vague glance, you can't prove the existence of Mr. Deng. But..."
Lin Xiaobao heard this, but his heart was raised.
Yan Yunge whispered: "I want you to find out the details of Mr. Deng and prove that there is someone else. You must send the news out as soon as possible about Mr. Deng."
Lin Xiaobao nodded repeatedly, "The official is responsible for taking the order. Then, what is the task assigned by Sima Dou?"
Yan Yunge sneered, "It is impossible to open a trade route. No matter what, my wife and Sima Dou are also a hostile relationship, and it is impossible for Pingyang County to open a trade route with "Daqi". However, my wife can give you a batch of supplies to get you a job.
If Sima Dou asks, you say you pretend to be a businessman and spend money to buy it from Pingyang County. You don’t dare to buy too much at one time, for fear of being discovered. In the future, you can use this as an excuse to buy supplies from Pingyang County.”
Lin Xiaobao finally let go of his hanging heart, "Thank you, ma'am!"
Yan Yunge ordered: "After a while, you go out through the back door and live in the inn opposite the yamen. When the goods are ready, you will escort the goods out of Pingyang County as a merchant. If you can walk on water, try to walk on water. There are many land levels, and you may cause trouble if you bring so much goods. If you walk on water, you will have half of the levels, which can save a lot of trouble."
"Thank you, my wife, for your reminder! Xiaguan will definitely return to Sima Dou's side and inquire about the news for his wife."
"The Mr. Deng you mentioned should be a key figure. You don't have to worry about the people around you. You just need to stare at this Mr. Deng."
"The official understands."
Yan Yunge arranged for his personal guard to send Lin Xiaobao away.
Xiao Yi walked out from the next door of the study room. He hugged Yan Yunge from behind and rested his head on her shoulder.
"You really believe his words, and you really think there is a character like Mr. Deng? You are not afraid that he will make up randomly and make a character to deceive you."
Yan Yunge shook his head slowly, "I really believe that there is a Mr. Deng beside Sima Dou. At the beginning, you assassinated Sima Dou according to Xiao Chengwen's arrangement, but the wrong person was killed. You lurked for so long and didn't find Mr. Deng?"
Xiao Yi shook his head, "To be honest, I can't figure out how to kill the wrong person until now. You also know that I took the man with me for half a year to assassinate Sima Dou. But I killed the wrong person, which was very strange. It seemed that Sima Dou was prepared for a long time, knowing that someone would come to assassinate, and prepared a substitute early."
"You never thought that maybe there was a Mr. Deng who saw through everything."
"Maybe!"
Yan Yunge took out Sima Dou's information from a pile of old papers.
She was very curious, "At the beginning of the fight against thieves, Sima Dou was only a small force among the many rebels. He didn't stand out and had a little reputation. As the court wiped out the rebels, Sima Dou faced the crisis of the destruction of the entire army several times.
