Section 62 Chapter 17 Transactions (3)

  Liu Xie gave Li Chen a signal with his eyes, and Li Chen understood immediately. He went to guard the passageway of the prison cell to prevent anyone from eavesdropping. Only then did Liu Xie speak seriously: "This transaction is also very simple. I'll find a way to let you out, and you can take the position of the head of the Zhou family!" Seeing that Zhou Jin was looking at him, Liu Xie added: "Of course, I can help you take the position of the head of the Zhou family, but once you're in that position, there are many things I'll need your help with."

  Zhou Jincheng didn't say a word, but stared at Liu Xie with an eerie smile on the corner of his mouth. Liu Xie felt a chill run down his spine as he was being scrutinized by Zhou's gaze, which seemed to see right through him. Despite everything going smoothly since his arrival in the Three Kingdoms, Zhou Jincheng gave him an uncontrollable feeling, as if he were a ticking time bomb that could hurt himself if not handled carefully. With a deep breath, Liu Xie steeled himself and met Zhou's gaze head-on.

  Zhou Jin didn't ask a single question and just nodded: "Deal!"

  Cao Cao's general mansion was located on a quiet street in Xuchang, which was quite far from the Han emperor's palace. The mansion was not luxurious and was originally just a large family's villa, but it had been abandoned for a long time. Cao Cao ordered people to clean it up and then moved in.

  The mansion is divided into four courtyards, after entering the gate and passing through the courtyard, there is a reception hall, followed by a study, then a quiet room, and finally an inner courtyard, which is where the women of the mansion live.

  Cao Cao was in his quiet room at this moment, originally a part of the study. After moving in, he ordered someone to separate it and left it for himself as a quiet room. Cao Cao also set rules, generally speaking, no one could enter this quiet room, even his closest friends Guo Jia and Xun Yu only stopped at the study. Although this quiet room seemed simple and elegant, it was here that military or political instructions were born.

  At this moment, Cao Cao was standing in front of the window. As an ambitious politician, he naturally had no mind to appreciate the bleakness of all things on that winter day, but held a secret report and fell into deep thought.

  Liu Xie's recent actions are all in this secret report. From the beginning of the merchant war in Xu Chang, all officials were given a wooden plaque to lead food for a month. After one month, however, it brought about earth-shaking changes to Kaiyuan Wine House. The Zhou family hired assassins and found someone to kill Liu Yuan, but they were caught. Cao Cao couldn't help but smile bitterly. Is there still such ignorance in this world? In the end, the Zhou family spent 10 million to save one son. The next day, Liu Xie visited the Tingwei government office, and within an hour, the eldest son of the Zhou family was released. Cao Cao secretly weighed it in his heart, thinking that the Zhou family's affairs seemed to have come to an end, but things were not so simple. From the fact that the eldest son was detained for one more day, the Zhou family's disaster had just begun. Liu Xie must have reached some agreement with Zhou Jin to agree to release him. Cao Cao sighed deeply, what a good move! Did he really underestimate that young man?
