Chapter 230: The Secret of the Octagon Chamber of Commerce
Thinking of this, Liu Fu was afraid in his heart for a while, if Sun Jian was not present today, he was afraid that he would be cold now.
Sun Jian is also afraid in his heart now, if he failed to detect the abnormality in time just now, he is afraid that Zhuo Huan has already succeeded in assassinating him.
And judging from the reaction of the guards who rushed to hear the call for help, if Zhuo Huanzhen's assassination was successful, Sun Jian was afraid that he would have to become a scapegoat.
As long as Zhuo Huan successfully assassinated Liu Fu, and then called the guards to come in, and then framed Sun Jian to kill Master Shi in a violent manner.
One is a personal guard who has served Liu Fu for many years, and the other is a visitor who doesn't know who it is, whose statement will the guards believe?
The answer is obvious, so Sun Jian feels afraid.
"All of you go down!" Liu Fu waved his hand and asked the guards to go down, leaving only Sun Jian.
Liu Fu is going to discuss some confidential matters with Sun Jian.
When the guards all retreated, Liu Fu bowed to Sun Jian again: "I will never forget the grace of the virtuous nephew to save his life today!" ”
Sun Jian noticed that Liu Fu had become a "virtuous nephew" to himself, which was a more intimate title than the word "Wentai" that called him.
"I'm a few years older than your father, and it's reasonable to call Wentai a virtuous nephew!" Liu Fu explained later.
"It's natural and reasonable, it's all within the scope of today, Lord Assassin Shi doesn't have to be polite!" Sun Jian hurriedly said.
"Today's matter, I hope that the virtuous nephew will not mention it to anyone after he goes back, let alone publicize it!" Liu Fu said.
"Today's events will never be spread!" Sun said with a firm conviction.
Liu Fu was assassinated today, although the assassin did not succeed, but the spread of the word will affect Liu Fu's prestige, the history of the assassination of a state, the largest political and military governor in the entire state, was assassinated by his own personal guards, and it must not become a joke for others to spread out.
In addition, the assassination of Shi Shi will also shake the military morale of other officials, Xu Zhao can even send assassins to assassinate Lord Shi, and almost succeeded, if this matter reaches the ears of other officials and county officials, I am afraid it will be shocking.
The assassins can be assassinated, not to mention those county guards and county orders, which will seriously shake the morale of the army.
Originally, Xu Zhao's capture of most of Wu County overnight had already made the officials and people of the entire Yangzhou panic, plus this incident, didn't it add fuel to the fire?
Even if Liu Fu doesn't emphasize it, Sun Jian won't spread it easily, and Sun Jian won't think about the stakes clearly.
"Is this tea poisonous?" Liu Fu asked.
"The tea is indeed poisonous, just now I took a sip gently, and noticed that the taste was a little strange, so I made a warning, just now I also just found out that the tea is poisonous......... "Sun Jian came to 1510.
"Alas, it's really indispensable to defend people, but I didn't expect that my guard, who had been following me for four years, turned out to be Xu Zhao's assassin, alas!" Liu Fu sighed deeply.
"Dark Guard!" Xu Zhao slowly highlighted two words.
"Xu Zhao raises a secret guard, this secret guard is a well-trained killer assassin spy, specializing in infiltrating assassination and spying on intelligence!" Sun Jian continued.
"I've also heard about the secret guard, but I didn't expect the secret guard to reach out to my state capital, I really didn't expect it!" Liu Fu said slowly.
Liu Fu naturally heard about the secret guard
Yes, but I've only heard of it.
Xu Zhao's secret guard is only active in Huiji County, and he acts ruthlessly, and there are few rumors that come out, and there are even folk rumors in Huiji County that the people who have seen the secret guard are dead......................
"I think that Xu Zhao captured most of Wu County overnight, and it has nothing to do with this secret guard, with the secret guard in the city, it is not difficult to break through the city gate together!" Sun Jian speculated and revealed.
Liu Fu fell into contemplation again, "Four years ago, I met a teenager who was about to freeze to death on the street, and I relented for a while and took him into the house, and saw that he was smart, so he cultivated, and later became my personal guard, and he ........was responsible for food, clothing, housing and transportation."
"I didn't expect him to be a secret guard sent by Xu Zhao, four years ago, could it be that Xu Zhao expected that there would be today four years ago!"
Liu Fu seemed to be stuck in a memory.
"Xu Zhao's heart of disobedience has long been there, and I am afraid that the rebellion is not rushed, Xu Zhao's wolf ambition has been dormant for many years......," Sun Jian said slowly.
Liu Fu also understood what Sun Jian meant, this Xu Zhao has been preparing for so many years, it is definitely not a good stubble, and it is definitely not easy to deal with.
"Xu Zhao is by no means an easy person, we should take stubbornly waiting for the imperial court reinforcements as our main strategy!" Liu Fu said after a while.
Sun Jian nodded approvingly.
Sun Jian also heard something from Liu Fu's words just now, four years ago, Xu Zhao had already installed a secret guard by Liu Fu's side, and four years later, I am afraid that every county government has a secret guard placed by Xu Zhao, thinking of this, Sun Jian can't help but feel afraid.
"Virtuous nephew, how much do you know about Xu Zhao's secret guard?" Liu Fu asked.
"The secret guards are ruthless, they are all killers who have undergone strict training, and they only obey Xu Zhao's orders, and I only know so much!" Sun Jian said without confidence.
After all, Sun Jian's location is Wu County, and the main sphere of influence of the dark guard is Huiji County, so it is reasonable that Sun Jian only knows so much.
After listening to Sun Jian's words, Liu Fu couldn't help but sigh, Liu Fu knew that he was facing an intelligence crisis now.
Every military information or order that he passed to the county government may be understood by the secret guards installed by Xu Zhao and passed on to Xu Zhao...............
Thinking of this, Liu Fu couldn't help but feel a chill in his back, this feeling of thorns in his back was really terrifying.............
"Lord Thorn Shi, I have a plan!" Sun Jian said.
"Hurry up!" As soon as Liu Fu heard that Sun Jian had a way, he immediately came to his senses.
"In the future, the state government will transmit information, and you can't go through official channels, and the secret guards installed by Xu Zhao are afraid that they will intercept the information!" Sun Jian said slowly.
"What do you mean?"
"I mean, we can use the Octagon Chamber of Commerce to pass orders and information to the county government and the county government!" Sun Jian arched his hand and said.
"Bafang merchants are all over the state capitals, county governments, and county governments in the Han territory, and the most important thing is that they have their own way of transmitting information, with this we can let the Bafang Chamber of Commerce deliver news on our behalf!" Sun Jian continued.
When it comes to the Bafang Chamber of Commerce, Liu Fu is naturally no stranger, it should be that all the people of the Han Dynasty are no strangers, as long as they belong to the territory of the Han Dynasty, there must be a branch of the Bafang Chamber of Commerce.
Speaking of the Octagon Chamber of Commerce, it seems that everyone can tell some anecdote about it...................
But there is one thing that is recognized about the Octagon Chamber of Commerce, that is, the backers behind the Octagon Chamber of Commerce are boundless.
Legend has it that the backer of the Bafang Chamber of Commerce is the Ten Standing Attendants, but Liu Fu knows the secret.
On the surface, the Bafang Chamber of Commerce is the backer of the Ten Standing Chambers, but in fact, the real person behind the Bafang Chamber of Commerce is the one sitting on the dragon chair today.
To put it simply, the emperor does not compete with the people for profit, so the emperor has never been in business, but what kind of person is Emperor Han Ling, the lord of the official beard.
What emperor does not compete with the people for profit, he is afraid that the people will rob him of his profits, so the Bafang Chamber of Commerce is the industry of the ten permanent servants on the surface, but in fact, the real boss is Emperor Han Ling himself.
Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty did this to avoid telling the truth, when the emperor personally ended up competing with the people for profit, it was not only bad to have a bad reputation, but also violated the ancestral teachings.................
Therefore, Emperor Han Ling came up with such a trick.......
Thinking of this, Liu Fu also figured it out, since the origin of the Bafang Chamber of Commerce is like this, it is impossible to betray the imperial court, and he will not fall to Xu Zhao.
In addition, the Octagon Chamber of Commerce also has its own way of communication and communication, so it is most secure to use the Octagon Chamber of Commerce to transmit orders and information.
In Sun Jian's opinion, Liu Fu was stunned, and thought that Liu Fu couldn't make up his mind.
So he continued to persuade: "Lord Assassin Shi, since the Octagon Chamber of Commerce is a businessman, as long as we promise heavy profits, it will definitely be feasible, and the strength of the Octagon Chamber of Commerce is so great, we will definitely not betray the imperial court!" ”
"It's possible!" Liu Fu said.
Seeing that Liu Fu accepted his opinion, Sun Jian was immediately overjoyed.
"The affairs of the merchants of the eight directions still need to be considered, and the military intelligence orders are transmitted, this is not an hour, and I need to write the imperial court!" Liu Fu paused and continued.
It is normal for Liu Fu to be so worried, this time the land change is all military intelligence orders, all of them are top-secret intelligence, in case something goes wrong, Liu Fu can't afford it.
What's more, Liu Fu is now guilty of dereliction of duty.
"Do you know San'in County in Huiji County?" Liu Fu asked suddenly.
"Huiji San'in? I'm afraid that it has fallen now, if I remember correctly, Xu Zhao's county town is very close to San'in....."
Although I don't know why Liu Fu asked this, Sun Jian still answered truthfully.
"The Octagon Chamber of Commerce in Shanyin County, as long as he agrees, the matter of letting the Octagon Chamber of Commerce pass on the information will be decided!" Liu Fu said slowly.
"Shouldn't the branch president of a county town find the branch president of the state capital?" Hearing Liu Fu say this, Sun Jian was really a little confused.
"This person's surname is Chai!" Liu Fu said slowly.
"Chai?" Sun Jian was stunned for a moment when he heard this, "Could it be the Chai family in the imperial capital?" ”
"That's right, this person is the son of the head of the Chai family! As long as he can agree, this is done! Liu Fu said slowly.
"Why did the son of the head of the Chai family in the imperial capital come to a county seat in Shanyin?" Sun Jian was puzzled by this.
"I don't know! But this matter needs to go to him! I'll leave this matter to you, and now the matter of the secret guard is not yet clear, so I can only send you! Liu Fu said in a deep voice.
