Chapter 5 Shenlong sees the beginning but not the end
Two days later, Liu Qi went to find the magistrate of Yicheng County and told him a news that was enough to make him crazy.
"Liu Fujun... isn't coming?" Li Zheng stared at Liu Qi vigorously, as if he wanted to find evidence of his lying from his expression.
"It's not that I didn't come, but that I had something to do on the way. I temporarily changed my route to Shanyang County. I think there was something big to deal with." Liu Qi said lightly, as if he was not the governor of a state, but the old man who went out to steal the fish in the next door.
"But, but this county has already..."
"What already?"
Li Zheng grinned and swallowed the words he hadn't said yet.
He couldn't tell Liu Qi, 'This county has informed the five major clans of Liu Fujun's coming to Jingzhou, right?
"This county has already prepared the residence of Liu Fujun. If the emperor does not come... wouldn't this county be happy?"
Liu Qi comforted him and said, "Jun Liu's family is just a matter of time, and it's not that he has not been here all the time. The county magistrate doesn't have to be so lonely."
Li Zheng said in his heart, what do you know, what are you, a child, that is, what do you know about the things we have secretly prepared?
"Why would you like to ask the official Shi, when will the Lord Fujun come to Jingzhou?"
Liu Qi shook his head and sighed: "Mr. Fujun is doing a low-key manner this time. He has never told me when he came to Jingzhou. He just told me to verify my household registration, military households, arsenals, Cang Ao and other military and political affairs in Jingzhou."
Liu Qi's appearance is too deceptive. Li Zheng has no doubts about him at all. He does not subjectively think that a child like Liu Qi will lie to them.
What Li Zheng was nervous about now was the governor of Jingzhou who had no idea of his head!
Liu Biao said this for a while, but couldn't say it again. What kind of method is he playing?
Just when Li Zheng was thinking about it, he suddenly heard Liu Qi say, "County Master, I am ordered by Liu Fujun to come to Jingzhou to check the military and political affairs first. Although there is a book of documents, it still needs to be verified on the spot. Please help find someone to guide the way and take someone to visit the counties in Nanjun."
Liu Qi's conditions were not excessive. As Liu Biao's official history, it is a reasonable and reasonable positional requirement for him to understand the family background of Jingzhou for Liu Biao.
"Yi Er, I don't know when the officer Shi wants to leave?"
Liu Qi smiled and said, "Of course, the faster the better."
Li Zheng said: "In this way, I will send the court officer of our county to bring you a talisman to us."
The court clerk is an official under the county magistrate, and is in charge of the five township departments. The spring and summer are the officials to persuade farmers, and autumn and winter are the systems. In fact, the nature of the work is not much different from Liu Qi. They are all assistant officials, but their status is too different.
As a secretary, one provincial level and one county level are naturally incomparable.
After Liu Qi left, Li Zheng, who had been smiling, showed an annoyance on his face. He hurried back to the study to write a letter.
After writing, he immediately summoned his confidant and instructed: "You go to Xiangyang quickly and hand over this secret letter to the head of the Zhang family, and tell him that Liu Biao would not arrive soon. Please ask them to quickly gather the troops who were ambushing in Bowang, so as not to be noticed by Liu Biao's clerk for a long time."
"promise!"
After the confidant left, Li Zheng rubbed his eyebrows and said to himself: "Liu Biao, the Marquis of the Northern Army, is indeed amazing!"
...
The "real news" that "Liu Biao changed his route and could not come to Jingzhou halfway" was sent to Zhang Fangchu, Xiangyang, and the four major families of Bei, Su, Cai and Kuai immediately learned about it.
The five patriarchs began to feel panic.
This Han clan relative was better than they thought... The old guy hid his head and tail, and he said it for a while, but he couldn't say it for a while. What's the plan to fight?
After Cai Mao learned about the letter, he couldn't sit still and immediately sent someone to send a message to him and drove to Kuai Liang's mansion.
Kuai Liang and his brother Kuai Yue received Cai Mao together.
"Zi Rou Gong, why didn't Liu Biao come again suddenly? Could it be that the old fly thief got some news?"
Cai Mao was both worried and grateful at this moment.
What he was worried about was naturally Liu Biao's intention, but fortunately he did not send troops to ambush Liu Biao with Su, Zhang and others, causing trouble.
Kuai Liang did not answer, but ordered his servants to serve tea and invite Cai Mao to drink.
Tea ceremony in the Han Dynasty was not popular and had not yet become fashionable. Only some prominent families or officials liked it. Moreover, the drinking method was strange. They put various strange seasonings into the tea, including oil and salt, just like cooking porridge.
Cai Mao never drinks tea. After eating two bites, he felt very salty, so he put down the cup of tea and stopped touching it.
"Zi Rou, are you talking?"
Kuai Liang was silent for a long time and said, "There are only two situations. One is that he did have something to do. He turned back to his hometown in Shanyang County, and the other is that he had suspicion of the Jingzhou clan, or had learned about the actions of the Su, Zhang and Bei families in advance, so he did not come to take office."
Cai Mao said sadly: "If this is the case, then Liu Biao's scheming will be too deep. If such a person becomes the governor, how can our ethnic groups get better in the future?"
Kuai Liang said lightly: "Liu Biao is not an ordinary person. If you and such people are not strong enough... However, you and I have never committed rebellious acts with Su Huan, Zhang Fang and others, so there is no need to worry too much."
At this moment, Kuai Yue, who had not spoken, suddenly spoke: "Brother, Degui, we seem to have missed one person."
Kuai Liang frowned and lowered his head to ponder.
Cai Mao leaned his fingers and said, "Brothers Su Dai Su Huan, Zhang Fang of Zhang and his younger brother Zhang Xian who is the county magistrate in Guiyang, Huarong Changbei Yu, and Liu Biao... None of the people who should be counted, right?"
Kuai Yue said slowly: "The people of the five major clans were all surprised and were wary of how Liu Biao planned... but they forgot to reveal these things to us through the magistrate of Yicheng County, but that young clerk."
Cai Mao showed a disdainful expression and said, "What can I do if a mere young child? Could it be that all this will be his plan?"
After saying that, Cai Mao couldn't help laughing. Obviously, he felt that what he had just said was extremely funny.
But the two heroes of Kuai did not laugh.
Cai Mao was happy alone, and he became a little embarrassed after a long time.
His face turned red and he coughed softly: "Can it be him?"
Kuai Liang muttered silently: "That servant is said to be surnamed Liu, and he is very young. He just passed the age of the crown ceremony. If you insist on saying that he is a young talent, it is not impossible... But he lied about Liu Biao's itinerary, what is the plan?"
Kuai Yue tried to guess: "Maybe it was to lead out who is Liu Biao's enemy among the five major families, and who can be Liu Biao's friend?"
After saying a few words, the whole room was quiet and the needles could be heard.
After a while, Kuai Liang slowly spoke, "Why do you rely on this?"
Kuai Yue sighed and said, "This matter is also my guess and there is no evidence. However, Liu Biao sent a front post in Jingzhou. No matter how old or young, he is not an ordinary person. After all, the current situation in Jingzhou is also complicated for Liu Biao. How could he send an incompetent person here?"
Kuai Liang was silent for a long time before saying, "We need to meet with that clerk."
Cai Mao stood up, patted his chest and said, "What's the problem? Let's wait until someone goes to Yicheng and bring that kid to ask."
Kuai Yue hurriedly dissuaded: "Degui should not be rash. Although the other party is young, we don't know the other party's background. We should not be rashly rash... You and your brother are both leaders of the same sect, so it is not convenient to move lightly, otherwise we will be suspicious of the Su, Zhang and Bei tribes. Maybe I secretly go to Yicheng to test the truth and reality of the clergy of Shi. How about it?"
After hearing this, Kuai Liang nodded and said, "The talent of a different degree is better than a brother. If you leave, I will feel relieved."
Kuai Yue stood up and said, "Brother, I see that the clerk. What should I do if I see him as he can accomplish something?"
Kuai Liang said lightly: "Good birds choose trees to live in. If the Jingzhou clan is so arbitrary, it will die sooner. It is still necessary to protect the Yingzhu to carry forward the family. The second brother has a vicious vision. If he feels it is feasible, he will respond to Liu Biao for his brother."
