Chapter 87(1/2)

"Plan?" Fan Xiaodao said, "We have no plan."

Lan Zhili said: "What we have to deal with is the most difficult enemy of the Ming Dynasty. The opponent's power cannot be underestimated. Even the Jin Yiwei can't do anything. How could we not have a plan?"

Fan Xiaodao said: "The Jin Yiwei with a plan can't deal with them. How are the two of us better than the Jin Yiwei? So the Jin Yiwei with a plan can't deal with them. What does it mean? Plan every egg. We two have always acted according to the situation. We don't want to do that.

Go around and around a lot, and when you see Li Zhixing, catch him if you can, kill him if you can't catch him, hit him if you can, and run away if you can't."

Lan Zhili said: "The two eldest brothers always act unexpectedly."

Zhao Xing said meaningfully: "From the tone of his voice, Mr. Lan is very familiar with that Tamu Li."

Lan Zhili was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Isn't this caring about chaos? After all, my life is in your hands tonight. I am still young and have a lot of time to live. I don't want to explain it here easily. Just now, there are

Someone came to my house with a message saying that the trading place tonight is not at the oil mill, and we will notify you later after we prepare the oil truck."

"The person who sent the message didn't send someone to follow him?"

Lan Zhili raised his left eyebrow, thought for a moment, and explained: "That man is a beggar, and he took money to deliver the message. How many people are there in our operation tonight? Are there any people from the Six Gates secretly accompanying us?"

Zhao Xing waved his hand, "It's just you and me."

Lan Zhili was a little worried, "Is it possible?"

Fan Xiaodao said: "We don't have any problem, it just depends on whether you can run fast or not."

Lan Zhili ordered the steward to pick out two sets of clothes and handed them to the two of them, "These are the clothes of our oil shop guys. They are about the same size. You can wear them accordingly."

Fan Xiaodao said: "Isn't it okay for us to dress like this?"

Lan Zhili said: "Your clothes are full of oil stains and vegetable stains, and they smell like teahouses and taverns. At first glance, they are not dressed like oil shop clerks. The clerks in this line of work are all short-breasted commoners and work quickly."

Fan Xiaodao thought for a moment and said, "I have a question. Five thousand kilograms of tung oil would require seventy or eighty barrels at least, and it would have to load at least four or five cars. Can the three of us do it?"

Lan Zhili smiled and said: "You are worrying too much. If it is scattered and bulked up, it will take at least ten horse-drawn carriages. But we do this kind of business all year round. For bulk goods, we have specially modified ox-carts, each carrying three thousand kilograms."

enough."

"Aren't you afraid of tiring the cow to death?"

Lan Zhili said: "There are no damaged fields, only exhausted cows."

Zhao Xingdao: "These words are inappropriate here."

"Don't worry, each car contains two cows. Now there is a problem. It's okay for us to trade, but you won't let us do some moving work, right?"

"Both of you are guys, so you have to put on a show to show others. Let's eat some food first, and I'll go prepare it first."

Seeing him leaving, Fan Xiaodao said: "Is this man named Lan planning to use us as livestock?"

Zhao Xing hissed, indicating that the wall had ears. Sure enough, footsteps came from the next room. Although they were very light, the two of them were martial arts masters and their hearing was different from ordinary people. Fan Xiaodao changed his words and said: "It seems that we are going to do something big tonight."

It’s time.”

Zhao Xingdao: "The enemy is very cunning, we have to be very alert."

"To be honest, I'm really unsure about this matter. The other side is extremely vicious. If we really fight, the outcome will be unpredictable. How about we find a few brothers to take care of them secretly?"

Zhao Xing stopped him and said, "No. Don't scare the snake. Li Zhixing is not a trivial person. At worst, you can fight with him. This is a great opportunity to make a name for yourself. Whether our brothers will be a dragon or a worm in the capital from now on depends on tonight."

.Eat first, maybe it’s the last meal!”

"Crow's Mouth!"

Hearing the footsteps gradually leaving, Fan Xiaodao said: "It seems that Lan Zhili is also wary of us. Your words just now almost exposed him."

Zhao Xing said coldly: "He is plotting against us and using us as spearmen. If I don't give him a few words, I will feel unhappy."

After about half a stick of incense, Lan Zhili returned and said: "The car is ready, let's set off!"

"Don't you want to eat some?"

Lan Zhili said: "I've eaten."

The three of them drove the bullock cart to Yutai Oil Mill.

The officers and soldiers on the street had already been transferred away, and they encountered no obstacles along the way. The Yutai oil mill had already been affixed with a government seal. This kind of seal was more formal than meaningful. It was essentially just a manifestation of the imperial court's deterrence. This was of course difficult to achieve.

There were only two of them. They got some water, soaked the seal, gently peeled it off, and took it off.

The ox cart entered the small courtyard of the oil mill. The five thousand kilograms of tung oil stored in Yutai Oil Mill were stored in the cellar, about 60 barrels. Each ox cart can hold thirty barrels, which is more than enough. Lan Zhili is a weak scholar and has no strength to tie a chicken.

, this kind of rough work can only be done by De Fan and Zhao themselves. If it is a fight and a knife, they are good at it. If they really do this kind of hard work, they have been tossing for half an hour, and they are very tired.

Fan Xiaodao said: "After loading these cars, let alone fighting, now I don't even have the energy to go to bed."

Lan Zhili apologized and said: "The two eldest brothers have suffered. After tonight, I will set up a banquet in Baihua Building and invite the most expensive girl to serve you two!"

“It’s a deal!”

After loading the cart, Fan Xiaodao took out two bottles of potion and sprinkled it on the cart. Lan Zhili asked curiously, "What are these?"

Fan Xiaodao said: "This is Liumen's special medicine. It's called Daimian. It has a very light smell and lasts for a long time. As long as the oxcart is still in the capital, our hounds can find it."

"You are still thoughtful."

The three of them drove the ox cart out of the yard and put the seal on it. Zhao Xing drove an ox cart alone, and Fan Xiaodao and Lan Zhili drove another car in front. When they left the alley, it was just starting to get dark.

There is a watchman who does the watch every time, which is exactly the day of the watch.

Night fell, the lanterns were turned on, the curfew had started, and there were not many pedestrians on the road. Fortunately, it was the first quarter moon, the tenth day of the first lunar month, so I could see the road clearly with the moonlight. Fan Xiaodao asked, "Where are the goods sent?"

Lan Zhili was also hesitant. After a while, a man dressed as a beggar came forward and asked, "Who is Master Lan?"

"I am."

The beggar said, "Someone asked me to pass a note." After saying that, a piece of paper in his hand was waved in front of his face. Lan Zhili took out a silver coin and handed it over, and then the beggar gave him the note, "

Thank you, brother."

There were only three words on the note: "Dingguo Temple."

From Yutai Youfang to Dingguo Temple, it is less than five miles and passes through about three or four streets.

"Could it be that the other party is hiding in Dingguo Temple?"

Fan Xiaodao glanced at the note and said, "Let's go over and have a look."

As soon as they came out of the street, they saw a group of patrolling officers and soldiers approaching, wearing the official uniforms of the Wucheng Army and Horses Division. When the other party saw them, they led the team directly towards them. Fan Xiaodao saw the person coming, it was the police officer.

Ding Yi from the third group of thieves, as well as the officers and soldiers, were all six-door agents, but their faces remained calm as they drove the carriage straight away.

"Stop, who is it?"

Fan Xiaodao continued: "We are a merchant delivering goods to Dingguo Temple."

Ding Yi wrinkled his nose, "What's in the car?"

Fan Xiaodao said: "Dingguo Temple has done some rituals and ordered a batch of sesame oil. If you need it urgently, we will send it over overnight."

"Are there any procedures?"

Lan Zhili said continuously, "Yes, yes!" After saying that, he took out a one hundred tael silver note from his arms and handed it over, "The policemen worked hard all night and were still guarding the safety of the capital at night. Let's do this.

Those who buy and sell will feel more at ease if you are there to protect them."

Ding Yi hummed twice, took the banknote, kicked it into his arms, and then said: "I know you work hard to make money. Commander Liu is patrolling Desheng Street. You want to go to Dingguo Temple. If you can walk from Huangquan Street,

Save some money."

Although this sentence was said to Lan Zhili, it was a reminder to Zhao Xing and Fan Xiaodao that the real people from the Five Cities Military and Horse Division were in the area of ​​Desheng Street. Feng Qianjin had almost all the troops in his hands during the tung oil incident in the afternoon.

They were all checking the major oil shops, asking them to pay attention and not to cheat. Fan Xiaodao also took the opportunity to tell Ding Yi in disguise about the destination of his trip, Dingguo Temple.

Ding Yi collected the money and said to everyone: "Brothers, finish your work and go have a drink!"

Tonight in the capital, the outside is loose and the inside is tight. There are not many patrolling officers and soldiers on the surface, but secretly countless pairs of eyes are staring at the three men in the two ox carts. The target is too big. Fortunately, there are people from the six gates to look after and remind them, so it's okay.

It avoided the interrogation of officers and soldiers and saved a lot of trouble.

Fan Xiaodao said: "If this continues, I'm afraid we'll have to finish the game before we get to Dingguo Temple! These people can use money to make money, but when they encounter an ignorant master, I'm afraid money won't be easy to use."

Zhao Xingye said: "Scum!"

"You seem to have strong opinions on certain people."

For some reason, Zhao Xing had a deep dislike for Ding Yicheng, but according to concierge Song Fei, the two had been partners for a while when they first entered Six Doors. As for why they broke up later, the reason is unknown.

.

When they were about to reach Dingguo Temple, another beggar stopped them.

"Who is Mr. Lan?"

Before Lan Zhili could answer, Fan Xiaodao got out of the car and asked, "What's the matter?"

The beggar said: "Someone asked me to pass a note." The beggar took out the note and waved it in front of the three people. Lan Zhili was about to take out the money when Fan Xiaodao stopped him and said, "Bring it to me and see."

The beggar said: "If you don't give me money, there is no way to negotiate!"

With a clang, Fan Xiaodao pulled out the knife and put it on his neck, "Who can spoil you so bad? Bring it here!" The beggar was startled, cursed and handed over the note. Fan Xiaodao smiled and patted him.

Shoulder, "Thank you, brother."

The beggar took two steps back with great resistance and hurriedly ran away.
