This is the first time that Liu Xiu has come to the county government to report to work after he got married.

Half a foot before entering the yamen, I saw the county Cheng Zhu You hurrying out with people.

"Uncle Wen, why are you here?" Zhu You was a little surprised and a little surprised.

Liu Xiugang got married, not to mention too much, staying at home for three months is not a problem.

It's only the 17th day, is Liu Xiu so dedicated?

"What's going on?" Liu Xiu asked.

"A corpse was found in East Lake..."Zhu You said slowly.

It turned out that early this morning, a fisherman found a corpse in the East Lake of Jianyang, and Zhu You got the news and was about to go to the scene to verify one or two.

Dead? Liu Xiu muttered in his heart.

Naturally, it is necessary to go to the scene to have a look, at least to find out the identity of the deceased and the cause of death.

East Lake is located in the northeast of Ya, Jianyang County, 0.45 kilometers.

It is said to be a lake, but it is actually a larger natural pond.

With an average depth of 3.7 meters and the deepest point of 4.1 meters, it is not surprising that one person drowned in such a deep pool.

When Liu Xiu followed Zhu You to the scene, the deceased, with the cooperation of the servants and the fisherman, had already been salvaged ashore, mated with a straw mat, and covered the body with a white cloth.

"I've seen the county princess!" The servants bowed their hands.

"Where's the fisherman?" Liu Xiu searched everywhere and saw a middle-aged man dressed as a fisherman, who respectfully treated him.

"When did you find out today?" No matter what the reason is, the death case is a big case, and Liu Xiu cannot be sloppy.

"A moment." The fisherman replied.

"Tell me about what happened." Zhu You knows Liu Xiu's personality very well, and he will definitely investigate this kind of thing thoroughly.

"I went out at the end of the day, and at the beginning of the day, I found a corpse moving towards the center of the pool." The fisherman struggled to remember.

"Can you remember where the body came from?" Liu Xiu asked.

The fisherman pointed to a gazebo and said, "From there." ”

Liu Xiu asked, "Is it coming?" ”

Zhu You responded: "People are on the way. ”

"I'll go and come back." Liu Xiu, under the guidance of the fisherman, walked to the pavilion.

This is an ancient building with a long history, and judging by the age of construction, it was built at least during the reign of Emperor Hui in the early Han Dynasty.

Liu Xiu stepped on the nine-step staircase, and looked up to see a vermilion plaque, which read: Huangquan Pavilion; Enter into the pavilion, the dragon and phoenix are carved on the wooden beam, the craftsmanship is exquisite, the painting style of this place is weird, it is actually called Huangquan Pavilion.

The trees around the pavilion completely block the sun, and because of the backdrop to the lake, the humidity is heavy.

Even in broad daylight, you can feel the eerie atmosphere. Liu Xiu didn't dare to think about what it would be like to come here at night.

The Huangquan Pavilion only has a passage to enter, and there is no direct exit to the pool. Explain the location of the incident, it is unlikely to be inside the pavilion.

Liu Xiu walked out of the pavilion and walked around, and sure enough, he found a stone step leading directly to the edge of the pool.

When you reach the end, there are rocks on both sides, and there is a pool of water three or four meters deep at your feet.

The fisherman's eyes were sharp, as if he had found something.

"Look, my lord, that's..."

Liu Xiu followed the guidance of the fisherman, and sure enough, he saw a corner of his clothes, hanging on a stone carved like a knife.

There is no doubt that this is where the incident took place.

Liu Xiu and the others returned to the body salvage place, and at this time, the servants also came.

An autopsy is ongoing.

The body belonged to a man who had been soaked in water for a long time and had become swollen.

"How?" Zhu You asked about the finished work.

"This person should have fallen into the water and died, and he drank a lot of alcohol before his death." He concluded with certainty: "Murder and suicide are excluded." ”

"Not as I expected." Liu Xiu went to the place where the incident occurred, and he had already made up his mind that his judgment coincided with him.

"Wait a minute, there's something on the deceased." I found a hard object in the corner, which should be a wooden box.

Sure enough, it was a small box, and when I opened it, it was wrapped in silk cloth with some correspondence, identity tags, etc.

Is there a shocking secret behind this? Liu Xiu's intuition told him.

Receive the crate immediately and keep the fisherman tight.

Next, according to the process, the crime scene and the body were disposed of, and Liu Xiu left with a wooden box.

The contents of these letters were all intelligence information, and they were about to be sent to an agency in Chang'an, Liu Xiu learned from the letters that this person was a member of the intelligence agency of the Xinmang Imperial Court, codenamed "011", and the intelligence agency that docked with him was called "Fuhu".

This is not a trivial matter, which means that Chang'an, on the other hand, attaches great importance to the construction of intelligence organizations, and it is obvious that this institution has been put into use.

Time waits for no man!

Liu Xiu realized the importance of forming an intelligence department.

went to find the eldest brother Liu Xuan overnight to report the matter, and Liu Xuan waved his hand and asked him to act cheaply.

Liu Xiu was speechless to his eldest brother, he didn't even ask about such a major matter.

I had to invite a heavyweight, who was Aunt Liu Xiu's son and cousin.

When Liu Xiu got married, she came to congratulate her.

Liu Xiu knew that his cousin Lai Shi was a dragon among people, and his ability and character were far above the Liu clan and other relatives, so he moved his heart to love talents.

The virtuous don't shy away from relatives!

"My cousin is looking for me, what do you have to discuss?" Invite him to a seat.

"Cousin, I want to ask you to go out of the mountain." Liu Xiuyan said succinctly.

"Please let me out of the mountain?" Lai Xi was a little stunned.

Liu Xiu told the story of the dead man and the intelligence agencies involved.

Lai Hui realized the seriousness of the matter.

Needless to say, the enemy's spies have infiltrated all corners of Thorn Yang City.

As Liu Xiu requested, the establishment of an intelligence agency is a proper obligation.

"I hope my cousin won't refuse." Liu Xiu bowed solemnly.

"Uncle Wen is a brother, please get up." Lai thought about it and said, "I haven't done it before, I don't know if it's okay, or I'll try it." ”

"Just waiting for your words." Liu Xiu and Lai She talked all night until it was late, tired and sleepy, and the two slept together.

Cousins, like brothers!

In this day and age, cousins are more valuable than siblings!

The family affection is very strong.

In this way, an intelligence agency of the Longhan Dynasty initiated by Liu Xiu and specifically responsible for the Black Dragon was born.

In addition to Liu Xiu and Laishe, Heilong also recruited Laifu, Yin Zhuo, Liu Jia, Liu Ci, Fan Hong and others as members of the organization.

Among these people, one of them is an unfamiliar face, Fan Hong is the son of Liu Xiu's maternal grandfather Fan Chong, the brother of his mother Fan, and Liu Xiu's maternal uncle.

They are all the most trusted and close people to Liu Xiu, and these people can make him feel at ease by engaging in intelligence.

......

On this day, Liu Xiu was processing official documents, and came to see Liu Xiu with a letter of information.

"Uncle Wen, I've come to Berto to send an urgent mail." Lai Shee handed him the letter.

Liu Xiu took out the letter, and the texture of the tentacles was silky.

In order to reduce transportation costs, Liu Xiu replaced the bulky bamboo slips with calligraphy, and the characters were uniformly written in Liti.

"What?" Liu Xiu was taken aback by the contents of the letter, and almost dropped his jaw in shock.

I didn't open the letter privately, so I don't know what it said.

Seeing that Liu Xiu reacted so much, he took the book handed over by Liu Xiu.

"Open the imperial examination? Talent selection through the imperial examination..."Lai Hui was also shocked.
