Ma Liu was the intermediary between Li Linfu and the eunuchs and maids in the palace.
His disappearance prevented Li Linfu from getting news from the palace.
This almost made him blind.
What did the emperor say today and how was he feeling?
He knew nothing about any moves, and he could no longer prepare in advance for the emperor's thoughts, which made him very uncomfortable.
Li Linfu was furious at home, "Go and find me, hurry up and find me, you must find me.
You want to see people alive, and you want to see corpses when dead.
I don't believe it.
Chang'an City is so big.
Where else can he go even if he takes Chang'an City?"
Even if we turn everything upside down, we still need to find the person.”
Li Linfu's rage made all the staff and scoundrels tremble with fear.
A middle-aged man with a gloomy face promised tremblingly: "Promise, I'll send all the men immediately, and also find the Chang'an County Magistrate and Wannian County Magistrate, and let them touch them."
The yamen and the police will definitely find the person back."
Li Linfu waved his hand irritably, and the middle-aged man retreated hastily.
At this time, a young staff member raised his hand and said, "Sir, is this Ma Liu absconding privately?"
"Absconding" Li Linfu was stunned by the words of the young staff member, and then he was a little unsure, "Why did he abscond?"
"Perhaps he made some big mistake that cannot be forgiven by adults.
Knowing that he would die, he chose to abscond."
The matters that Ma Liu was responsible for were too confidential.
He directly contacted the informants in the palace on behalf of Li Linfu.
The sources of all information had to be handed over to Li Linfu through Ma Liu's hands.
How to contact the informants in the palace and other informants in Chang'an City?
, this is only controlled by Ma Liu.
Therefore, Ma Liu's disappearance directly means that Li Linfu has lost control of the intelligence network in his hands.
After hearing what the young staff member said, Li Linfu was a little unsure.
All in all, it was impossible for Ma Liu to disappear without reason.
Another aide in his forties twirled his goatee and said: "Prime Minister, Ma Liu disappeared suddenly.
We didn't notice it at all in advance, and we didn't find anything unusual.
There is something strange about this matter.
There are several This possibility exists.
The first is what Mr.
Hu just said, Ma Liu is He made a big mistake that none of us knew about and had to abscond; secondly, he was kidnapped or killed by someone with an ulterior motive.
Either our opponent had premeditated it, or he was related to him.
It is caused by personal hatred between others.
I personally prefer the second possibility."
Li Linfu's eyes narrowed, "Mr.
Zhang means that the other party discovered that Ma Liu is the key to our control of the spy, so they tied him up or killed him."
Mr.
Zhang nodded and said solemnly: "If it's the first type, it's not a big problem.
As long as he is still in the Tang Dynasty, we can find him and capture him.
But if it's the second type, it's not a big problem." , in any case, it is a big loss to us.
If Ma Liu dies, then the prime minister will lose control of the informants, and Zhang A certain person reminded the Prime Minister long ago that this matter cannot be controlled by Ma Liu alone, but the Prime Minister didn't listen.
The most terrifying thing is that the other party has mastered the method of contacting our eyeliner by forcing Ma Liu to confess.
In this way, I will wait for it.

We have defeated the deaf and the blind, but the other party has gained our eyes.
Our strength has been reduced, and our arms have become longer, and the gap has completely reversed in an instant."
After listening to Mr.
Zhang's analysis, Li Linfu turned pale and worried: "Will the other party bring this matter to the emperor?"
"Probably not.
Even if they go to the emperor, there is no direct evidence.
The prime minister does not directly control the informants.
Their doing so will not cause much harm to the prime minister.
They are not that stupid.
It is better to control the informants than to control the informants.
The benefits gained from bringing this matter to the attention of the emperor Much bigger.
The Prime Minister’s opponents are not that stupid.
The key now is that we must immediately rearrange our eyeliners and re-establish the contact methods with them.
We must change the contact methods before our opponents do and regain control of our eyeliners. , this is very detrimental to the prime minister."
Li Linfu nodded and immediately said to him: "Mr.
Zhang will be solely responsible for this matter.
Mr.
Hu will assist.
How much money is needed to go to the accountant to withdraw it.
I will give you my full support."
"promise" After losing Ma Liu and temporarily losing control of his informants, Li Linfu suddenly thought of Zhao Ziliang again, but it was obvious that Zhao Ziliang could not take refuge in him.
He was already convinced of this.
However, Zhao Ziliang's existence obviously hindered him from getting news from the palace.
After thinking for a long time, Li Linfu said: "Wu Zhen, Zhao Ziliang is really a nuisance.
I don't want to see him again."
The middle-aged man named Wu Zhen kept his head lowered.
When he heard Li Linfu's voice, he immediately bent down and agreed: "No."
"Wait."
An old staff member next to him added: "Whether it is successful or not, you can leave something at the scene to blame other opponents.
It would be best if Zhao Ziliang died.
Even if the people sent failed to succeed, Zhao Ziliang saw the assassin Anything left behind by accident will definitely cause trouble for someone.
He is a military general, so I don’t think he has any scheming to figure out anything.
Let’s muddy the water so that we won’t be found out.”
Li Linfu thought for a moment, then nodded to the man named Wu Zhen, and Wu Zhen resigned again.
Zhao Mansion in the city.
There are many officials named Zhao in Chang'an City, but this is Zhao Ziliang's residence in the city.
Early that morning, Zhao Ziliang was preparing to go to the left prison guard office.
Wang Can led a burly middle-aged man and several people who looked like bodyguards and walked in quickly, "General" Zhao Ziliang asked: "Wang Can, is there anything wrong with you coming here so early?"
"General, Zheng San entrusted Mr.
Wang from the Weiyuan Escort Bureau from Suiye City to escort two things to the general.
This is Mr.
Wang."
Wang Can said and introduced the strong man next to him to Zhao Ziliang.
The strong man held a big sword and raised his hand to Zhao Ziliang and said: "The villain Wang Wei has met the general.
Mr.

Zheng entrusted the escort agency to send two things to the general.
One is this letter, and the other is this long wooden box.
In view of the agreement, the villain cannot open the wooden box and does not know what is inside, so please ask the general to inspect the goods."
"Oh."
Zhao Ziliang took the letter, opened it, read it quickly, and said to the escort leader Wang, "Bring the wooden box to someone and take a look."
The head escort Wang brought a long wooden box from the injured bodyguards behind him and handed it to Zhao Ziliang.
Zhao Ziliang took it and opened the seal.
When he opened it, he saw a sheathed weapon with an exquisite shape, simple color and a powerful look inside.
War knife.
"That's right, Mr.
Wang, this is it.
Thank you very much, Xiaode.
Take some money to buy some wine for Mr.
Wang and his brothers."
Bai Xiaode agreed: "Promise" Head Guard Wang quickly handed over his hand: "Thank you, General."
After the escort leader Wang and his escorts left, Zhao Ziliang smiled and said to the others: "Zheng San said in the letter that they are pretty good there and they often communicate with each other.
In addition, he said that we left Suiye City not long ago, that Blacksmith Fu Kun got a piece of Tianshan cold iron by chance, and spent three months using it to build a sword, named it the Zhanjiang Dao, and this is it."
As he said that, Zhao Ziliang took out a battle knife with exquisite shape and simple color from the wooden box.
This sword is a little longer than ordinary swords.
If it is an ordinary person, it may not be used because it is too long to be used as a two-handed sword for infantry combat.
As a cavalry combat weapon, it is too short.
Yes, but Zhao Ziliang is tall and has a longer wingspan than ordinary people, which is just right for this sword.
This length was obviously designed by the blacksmith Fu Kun specifically for Zhao Ziliang's height, body shape and wingspan.
Zhao Ziliang holds the sword with both hands together with the scabbard Dance a few times.
Later, Zhao Ziliang pulled out the sword from the scabbard.
The sword was a special black color.
This may be because the material itself is this color.
It has a special texture.
The shape of the blade is 90% the same as the horizontal sword.
Similar, but slightly different, the back of the blade is slightly curved inward, and the blade is convex outward.
It is very similar to the later Japanese samurai sword.
The blade has cloud patterns, blood grooves on both sides, and there are serrations on the front end of the back.
Extremely sharp.
When Zhao Ziliang holds this fighting sword, it feels very heavy.
It is estimated to be three times the weight of a general horizontal sword.
I am afraid that only a powerful general can use it, but in Zhao Ziliang's hand, it feels just right, even if he holds it It can be used to chop and chop for several hours without feeling tired, but it also doesn't feel too light, which is just right.
Zhao Ziliang took the beheading knife and said to Bai Xiaode: "Come on, pull out your knife and try its sharpness.
The Tianshan Cold Iron looks very high-end.
You have to try it to know whether it is sharp or not."
"No," Bai Xiaode agreed, then pulled out the horizontal knife from his waist.
"Watch the moves," Zhao Ziliang said, raising his knife and slashing at Bai Xiaode's head.
Bai Xiaode immediately blocked with his sword.
Everyone heard a click.
The sword in Bai Xiaode's hand fell down.
The blade of the sword in Zhao Ziliang's hand stopped two inches above Bai Xiaode's head.

However, a strand of hair was still caught by the force of the sword.
Cut off and scattered on the ground.
Although the horizontal sword in Bai Xiaode's hand is not a great sword, it is definitely much tougher and sharper than the waist sword of ordinary generals.
However, under the beheading sword in Zhao Ziliang's hand, he was cut into tofu without even being able to survive it.
Cut into two pieces.
"Hahaha" Zhao Ziliang was overjoyed and couldn't put it down looking at the ship-cutting knife in his hand, and said: "What kind of Tianshan cold iron is this material?
It can actually create such a sharp and tough weapon."
Wang Can and others shook their heads to express that they were unclear, but Bai Xiaode said: "General, who knows this kind of thing?
Only blacksmiths understand this.
However, when I was young, I heard my father mention it once.
He said that there are not only There are people and flesh capable of life and death The bone-white Tianshan snow lotus, the treasure Cordyceps sinensis, and the Tianshan cold iron are usually found at the top of the snow-capped mountains where snow accumulates all year round.
They have withstood the freezing of black ice for thousands of years.
Their hardness is rare in the world, so they are made.
The weapons are also extremely sharp.”
"Oh, that's it."
Zhao Ziliang nodded and said with a smile: "Today the Japanese general received a treasured sword.
He is very happy.
He will treat us to dinner at noon and go to Zuixian Tower.
Everyone is going, everyone is going."
Wang Can, Bai Xiaode and other retinues all looked happy.
Of course they were happy to have wine and meat to eat
