Chapter 394: Double Agent
About half an hour later
Liu Wan respectfully said goodbye and left from Zhou Huaidao's room, turned around and came to the mansion, summoned a white servant, and asked him to go to Liu Quan, the head of the mansion, to pass a message and ask him to go to his residence.
As a confidant of Fu Yin, Liu Wan, the master, is to some extent more majestic than Fu Cheng, the second in command of the government, he asked people to find Liu Quan to pass the word, before and after only half a pillar of incense, Liu Quan came to Liu Wan's residence with two oil paper packages, and when he entered the door, he bent down with a flattering face.
"Mr. Liu, are you looking for me?"
According to the official system of the Northern Jin Dynasty, the head of the government of a government belongs to the eight-rank military attachΓ©, and because Beiling is on the border, the important military attache of the government is half a level higher than that of the ordinary prefecture and county, which is from the seventh grade.
Officials of this level, placed in ordinary county seats, can be county orders.
And such a character comparable to Baili Hou, in the face of Liu Wan, a white body with no official or position, is so obscene.
Among them, there is a reason why Liu Wan is trusted and relied on by Zhou Huaidao, but it also shows that this Liu Dutou is a good flatterer and good at welcoming him, otherwise, as one of the important officials of the government, he can give up his body so much to tie up Liu Wan, the master of the palace?
No, I just greeted Liu Wan, and before Liu Wan could react, Liu Quan put the two oil paper packages he was carrying on the table next to Liu Wan's left hand, and said with a smile.
"Mr. Liu, I heard that you have been discussing with Fuzun for most of the day, and you haven't eaten yet, so I specially brought you some food outside, you can taste it, these are all famous shops in our Fucheng, and the taste is absolutely praised."
β¦β¦β¦β¦
"Don't worry about these things first, Liu Dutou, I'm looking for you, I have something to do with you."
Since Zhou Huaidao came to Beiling, Liu Wan and Liu Quan have dealt with each other a lot, and knowing what kind of character Liu Dutou is in front of him, he has long been accustomed to the flattery of the other party, and he is too lazy to be humble, so he talks about business directly.
When Liu Quan heard that Liu Wan had something to do for him, his face also tightened a little, and he asked solemnly.
"But what did Lord Fuzun show me?"
Seeing Liu Quan's serious and solemn appearance, Liu Wan couldn't help but nod in his heart, secretly satisfied.
This Liu Quan, although his personality is a little flattering, his bones are soft, and he is despised, but then again, how can there be a perfect person.
Although Liu Quan has a flawed personality, his personal ability is not bad, he acts neatly and thoroughly, his mouth is tight and his eyesight, and most importantly, he is loyal to Zhou Huaidao.
Not long after Zhou Huaidao came to Beiling, there were not many people who came to work, resulting in very few talents in his hands.
Therefore, although he was a little disliked for Liu Quan, he had important errands in his hands, and Liu Wan's first thought was Liu Quan.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
"Dong Weng has an explanation."
Liu Wan asked Liu Quan to close the door, and then said in a low voice: "Recently, the suppression of the envoys may come to the Fucheng to inspect, you let the people under your command keep an eye on the outside, and as soon as there is news of the pacification envoy, immediately return to the mansion." β
"The pacification envoy is coming?"
When Liu Quan heard this, a little joy appeared on his face, and he nodded vigorously: "Sir, don't worry, when you go back, you will send people to guard important places outside the city and the city gate, day and night, once there is a letter, it will be sent to the government immediately." β
"Good."
Liu Wan praised happily, and then said: "There is one more thing, do you know anyone who is on an errand in the General Military Mansion." β
"This ........."
Liu Quan hesitated for a moment and replied, "Yes, yes, but I don't know what Mr. wants to do." β
Maybe it was because he saw Liu Quan's hesitation, Liu Wan was afraid that Liu Quan would push the plug, his heart moved, a kind smile appeared on his face, and he personally reached out and poured Liu Quan a cup of tea, and deliberately pointed out.
"That's what Fuzun means."
"Fuzun? Could it be that he wants to ......... to the General Military Mansion" Liu Quan's face appeared impressive.
"It's not that serious."
Liu Wan saw that Liu Quan was thinking crookedly, and took the initiative to break it back: "I won't hide it from you, what is the situation between our Fuzun and Xie Zongbing now, I think you have also heard of it, it can be said that sooner or later there will be a distinction between respect and humility."
Our Fuzun is careful, and we feel that we know that we are invincible, so we want to keep an eye on the movements of the general soldier, and it is best to place one or two people around him.
Liu Dutou, Lord Fuzun values you very much, and told me before that he intends to promote you up, my lord is so loving, I hope you will not live up to Fuzun's trust in you. β
β¦β¦β¦β¦
Liu Quan is not stupid, Liu Wan has talked about this, and he still doesn't know how to do it.
He is already tied to Zhou Huaidao's boat, one is prosperous, and one is lost, he has to help Zhou Huaidao defeat Xie Lang.
Thinking of this, Liu Quan pondered for a while, and then said: "Don't dare to deceive Mr., the subordinate officials over there in the General Military Mansion do have channels to find out some news." β
"Oh?"
Liu Wan was overjoyed and hurriedly asked, "Where did you know the news, and is it reliable?" β
Liu Quan figured out what to do in his heart, and a smile appeared on his face, full of confidence to introduce his source.
"Xiaguan's brother-in-law is a cell head in the county below, and he has a younger brother who serves in the General Military Mansion, and is the knife and pen document in front of Xie Zongbing, and most of Xie Zongbing's official correspondence in the General Military Mansion passes through him.
As long as we explain him, the Mansion can grasp all the movements of the General Military Mansion. β
"Such an urgent civilian position must be Xie Lang's confidant, Liu Dutou is sure to pull him over?"
After listening to what Liu Quan said, Liu Wan felt a little disapproving in his heart, the person Liu Quan said was not very reliable.
This is not to say that this younger brother of Liu Quan's brother-in-law is not important, on the contrary, as the knife and pen documents around Xie Lang, it can be said that he has mastered most of Xie Lang's confidential letters, which is too important, Liu Wan does not believe that Liu Quan can turn Xie Lang's henchmen around.
Facing Liu Wan's questioning, Liu Quan smiled: "Half a month ago, Xia Guan definitely didn't dare to let go of this arrogant statement, but now it is not necessarily, not to mention that it is nine out of ten, but it is estimated that there is still a certainty of six or seven percent." β
"How?"
Liu Wan was a little puzzled, and Liu Quan explained: "Here's the thing, the younger brother of Xiaguan's brother-in-law has promised a family affair since he was a child, and the two childhood sweethearts grew up, and their relationship is very good.
Originally, in the first two years, the two should have been married, but at that time, the national war was very noisy, and then there was some chaos in the house, and the marriage was delayed again and again, until the Chinese New Year this year, the wedding date was set, and the spring was married.
As a result, I never thought that it was the future brother-in-law of Xiaguan's brother-in-law who came to Fucheng to buy a dowry, but he was actually taken by Zhao Duwei, who was under the command of Xie Zongbing, and wanted to force Xiaguan's brother-in-law's future brother-in-law to be his concubine.
Of course, the younger brother of the lower official's brother-in-law doesn't do it, but his arms can't reach his thighs, so Zhao Duwei is the brother of Xie Zongbing's life and death, and he is very trusted by Xie Zongbing, and although the brother-in-law has two points of face in front of Xie Zongbing, he is only a petty official after all, and his status is very different.
After all, the fiancΓ©e of the younger brother of the lower official was accepted as a concubine by Zhao Duwei, think about it, can the hatred of taking his wife like this not make him resentful of Xie Lang, who is unfair.
In addition, Xia Guan and his real relatives, as long as he knows reason, moves with affection, induces him, and revenge him, are you afraid that he will not be used by us? β
Liu Wan nodded: "In this way, this person can be used by me, but there is such a thing, then Xie Lang is not a fool, will he trust him again, if he is sent aside in the cold, even if he is co-opted, it will not be of much use." β
"It's not that hard."
Liu Quan chuckled: "As long as we find a way to let him reveal some news from Fuzun's side to General Xie Bing, he can gain Xie's trust, and at that time, he will just do things for us, and by the way, he can also release fake news to confuse Xie Lang." β
"False and real, double agent."
Liu Wan muttered in his heart, and couldn't help stroking his palms and laughing: "This plan is very good, Lord Liu, this matter will be handed over to you, if it is effective, I will personally ask for credit for you in Fuzun." β
"Thank you Mr. Liu for your trust, the lower officials will definitely do their best to serve the government." Liu Quan saw that Liu Wan was happy, and hurriedly took the opportunity to show his loyalty to Zhou Huaidao.
