Rebirth of The Deer and the Cauldron, Wei Xiaobao Becomes a God

However, Liu Fuyin did not respond to him, but silently took out a letter from his arms.

He gently unfolded the letter, which was covered with densely written words.

Liu Fuyin began to read: "Zhou Asan of Changfu Camp returned to Xiamen Island from the inside of the island by boat four days ago. On the same day, he went to Fuzhou to take his parents to Haicang Ferry to settle down. The next day, he went to Changfu to take his wife and children to Haicang Ferry. The family of five took the rebel transport ship to Xiamen Island. Liu Asan took a boat to the outside of the island again this morning, and went to Yihongyuan in Liuxiang in the afternoon to prepare to redeem Miss Honghongpai Yaqian and bring her back to Xiamen Island as a concubine. Because it was getting dark and there was no ferry, he stayed in Yihongyuan."

After Liu Fuyin finished reading, he looked at Zhou Asan calmly and asked softly, "Lord Zhou, are you sure you remember it wrong?" Although his voice was light, it seemed to have a thousand pounds of force, pressing heavily on Zhou Asan's heart.

Zhou Asan's face turned pale as paper in an instant, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. His lips trembled, and he wanted to say something, but found that he could no longer make any sound.

He could never have imagined that his whereabouts in the past few days were known so clearly! These things should have been perfect, how could they be known? Moreover, they were written down and presented to everyone... Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel despair and fear in his heart.

Zhou Asan collapsed to the ground at once, his face showing despair, and he secretly cried out in his heart: "It's over! It's all over now! I wanted to take advantage of the lack of troops in Fuzhou to get things done, and then follow the Tiandi Army to build a career. Who knew that my whereabouts were known so clearly by the other party? This is simply walking into a trap! The crime of treason is punishable by death. Am I going to die here today? I can only beg this Liu Fuyin, I wonder if he still remembers the friendship we have had for so many years..."

Thinking of this, Zhou Asan gathered his courage and said to Liu Fuyin: "Brother Liu, we have been friends for many years after all. Can you spare me for the sake of our brotherhood? As long as I can escape this disaster, I will repay you for your kindness and will be grateful for the rest of my life!"

Hearing this, Liu Fuyin's face changed, and he waved his hand and said, "Master Zhou, stop joking! The friendship we had before was gone the moment you defected to the rebels. If I still talk about friendship with you now, wouldn't that mean I'm in cahoots with you? Then, I'll be beheaded too!"

The prefect was an official in ancient times who was specifically responsible for managing social security. He was a military officer and his duties were similar to those of a modern police chief.

During the Qing Dynasty, the prefect was directly under the jurisdiction of the central court, and his official rank was usually one level higher than that of the prefect in the same city.

For example, an ordinary prefect was a fifth-rank official, while the prefect of the provincial capital city of Fuzhou was a fourth-rank official, so the official position of the Fuzhou prefect was a fourth-rank official.

The Han Camp, also known as the Han Banner, is divided into four levels: standard, association, camp, and station.

The troops led by the governor, provincial governor, admiral and general were called flag officers. The ranks of these officials were usually the first rank or the junior first rank.

The troops led by the deputy generals were called "Xie" and "Zhen", and their rank was the third rank or the junior third rank;

The troops commanded by the lieutenant general, guerrilla commander, commander, garrison commander and captain were called battalions, and their ranks were the fourth rank or junior fourth rank.

The troops led by Qianzong, Bazong and Waiwei were called Xun, and their rank was the fifth rank or junior to the fifth rank.

Zhou Asan was the captain of the Han Battalion Commander Fuying, and held the fourth rank. He and Liu Fuyin were both military generals, and their official ranks were similar, so they often drank and ate meat together and called each other brothers.

So, when the governor was looking for someone to infiltrate the rebels, the first person that Liu Fuyin thought of was Zhou Asan.

There was no need to investigate Zhou Asan's whereabouts at all, because when he came back he secretly borrowed a carriage from Liu Fuyin's housekeeper. Using Liu Fuyin's carriage to transport his family was both safe and reliable. However, Zhou Asan forgot an old saying: never treat the captain of the police in the yamen as a close friend. What's more, Liu Fuyin was the chief of the chief captains of police. If this bad friend didn't harm Zhou Asan, who else would he harm?

Zhou Asan looked at Liu Fuyin in near despair. He knew that it would be useless to ask this evil friend for help. It would be better for him to die with dignity. Perhaps his comrades in the Han camp would be able to take care of his mother, wife and children.

Zhou Asan was shocked and thought that this was the end, but he still didn't want to give up his life. So he tilted his head, made up his mind, and said nothing, ready to die heroically.

Liu Fuyin looked at Zhou Asan, his eyes revealing a hint of teasing and indifference. He smiled slightly and said softly: "If there is a way to keep you alive, are you willing to try it?"

Zhou Asan was stunned, and his originally desperate mood was instantly ignited by a glimmer of hope. He widened his eyes and looked at Liu Fuyin in disbelief, as if he saw a glimmer of hope. However, he also knew that this Lord Liu was not a good person, so he did not easily express his opinion, but just nodded silently.

"Let you go back and work as an undercover agent. This is your only way to survive!" Liu Fuyin said calmly.

Zhou Asan was shocked. He widened his eyes and asked in disbelief, "Undercover? Are you asking me to betray my brothers in the Han camp?"

Liu Fuyin nodded slightly, with a sly look in his eyes. He continued, "Yes, this is your only way out. As long as you can successfully sneak into the Han camp and obtain their intelligence, I will not only spare your death penalty, but also reward you handsomely. Otherwise, you will die."

Zhou Asan was caught in a fierce struggle. On the one hand, he wanted to live; on the other hand, he didn't want to betray his brothers. He hesitated and couldn't make a decision. As time passed, his face became more and more ugly.

Liu Fuyin looked at the silent Zhou Asan and knew that he was struggling internally. So he slowly said, "Zhou Asan, you are not an honest person. You indulge in eating, drinking, having fun, whoring, gambling, and even embezzling military pay and reselling military supplies. If I hadn't thought that you might still be of some use, I'm afraid you would have been on the guillotine long ago."

When Zhou Asan heard this, he originally planned to pretend to be a gentleman who was forced to become a spy, but he didn't expect that his disguise was instantly seen through by the other party, and he felt extremely annoyed.

Zhou Asan sighed helplessly and said, "Okay, in that case, let's do as you wish." In fact, he was secretly thinking in his heart that his parents, wife and children had already been taken away, and as long as he could return to Jinxia safely, whether he became a spy or not would not be determined by others.
