On April 16 of Ding Shen's year, less than two months after Huzhou Assassin Shi Wenzhen took office, the people in Huzhou City were disturbed by rumors, which led to a riot, and the city soldiers clashed when they were suppressed, and the riot spread throughout the city. People once rushed into the Assassin's Mansion, smashed the Sanwen Book House, killed and injured officials, and harassed the houses of wealthy households. But the strange thing is that the ground movement smashed to death the host of the banquet and a group of officials, including the Lord Zhizhong, but the Lord Assassin Shi was unharmed, and quickly appeared in the city, in the name of protecting the king's car, by Ding Wang Yan out of the king's order to mobilize the state army, within one day, Ding Assassin Shifu, disperse the crowd, protect the wealthy merchants, save the Sanwen Book House, and on the grounds of "protecting the good people", quickly drove the troops to occupy the general altar of the Cao Gang, and put the Cao Gang up and down in the "guard". On that day, the blood flowed in the canal, everything was silent, the fireworks were everywhere, and the footsteps were like drums. The whole city of Huzhou was shrouded in endless terror and trembling, and the people who were shouting in the streets, like a stream of water, quickly flowed back to their safe houses, listening to the crushing of military boots and swords in the cracks of the doors, and tinkling in the silent night and dark streets and alleys, all night long.

There is a word writer: From day to night, the war is endless.

This event, called: "Huzhou April", a month later, after Zhang Yue's own wonderful interpretation of the event was handed to the court, the government and the opposition were shaken. The ministers were all shocked by the information revealed between the lines and the determination of the female assassin Shi, and there were many people who wrote to impeach Wen Zhen for acting harshly, hurting the peace of heaven, or dereliction of duty. Because of this incident, the number of city soldiers who "fought for the country and died bravely" reached more than 1,000. Soldier Cao Gong Pengcheng was even more "the first soldier to fight and die". The county guard of Yucheng was "killed by mistake", and officials such as the Lord of Zhizhong, Gong Cao, Bo Cao, and Dianxue, as well as several wealthy merchants, died unluckily in the subsequent turmoil on the island in the middle of the lake.

There was no war, and in peacetime, the casualties were so heavy that it was appalling, and what was even more shocking was that the city soldiers died so badly, but there were no mob officials and principals to bear the blame for this. Because the cause of the incident was rumors and chaos in the city, the people were fooled and coerced by rumors, and the people who spread the rumors were Cao gang members, who had been killed on the spot, and then a small group of city soldiers had bad intentions, took the opportunity to make chaos and robbery, and had internal strife with another part of the city soldiers, and died in battle, and the Cao Gang also had gang misbehave and got involved in disputes, causing large-scale bloody fights, accidentally killing the Yucheng county guard, and trying to hold His Royal Highness King Ding, was also exterminated together. Although the people were chaotic in the early stage, because the state army arrived in time and protected them, except for one hangover who drowned in the gutter by mistake, most of them were only injured and did not die.

In short, there is chaos, but the problem is not in the history of assassination; The people are in turmoil, but they are deceived and not mortally harmed; The city soldiers died a lot, but they were cannibalistic; The blame should only be attributed to the poor management of the soldiers, and the soldiers were also dead.

Of course, there must be one murderer, that is, the Cao Gang, the assassin Shi is resolute and resolute, and he has already solved the work.

Some people also pointed out the inappropriateness of the state army entering the city, and the local state army has always been forbidden to enter the city except for the reasons for the entry of the enemy, the rebellion of the city soldiers, and the rebellion of the people, and the Huzhou Rebellion did not belong to any of the above. But the problem is that the state army is in the name of protecting the king's majesty, and Zhang Yue, who is familiar with the case files, has also found a strong legal basis for Dingwang's move - as long as they are not involved in rebellion, the direct children of the royal family are absolutely protected by any local army no matter when and where.

As for the time lag between the state army and the fact that they had entered the city before the royal order was transferred - is there any evidence?

The matter was reported like this, as for believe it or not, Wen Zhen's attitude is, whatever you want.

Afterwards, the court bosses naturally quietly sent people to investigate, but the results they got made them stunned for a long time, and the reason for the panic was not only Wen Zhen's meticulous methods in this matter, but also what made people feel chilling was that she dealt with it after the fact was bold and ruthless enough, and she did not leak. The people who should be killed have been killed, and everything they want to solve has been solved, and the parties who manipulated the big things with one hand, and then pushed the matter to the dead, even used the king to transfer the state army, which was as thoughtful as a circle and seamless.

But it is undeniable that after this incident, the female assassin Shi really subdued Huzhou in one fell swoop in the fastest time, and the blood that flowed all over the streets and alleys of Huzhou on April 16 finally became the bright red on the banner of the word "Wen" that Lord Thorn Shi was about to raise in Huzhou, and it will permanently flutter on the heads of Huzhou officials and people during the period when Lord Thorn Shi was in power in the future.

The sun rose as usual on April 17, but the whole city of Huzhou was unusually quiet.

Wen Zhen went to work as usual, and when she walked past the assassin's office, all the subordinate officials silently avoided the side.

Many officials came overnight and asked to see at the gate of the official office, but Wen Zhen did not see anything, only summoned Bai Lin, the capital of Huzhou. And afterwards, in Zhang Yue's recital to the imperial court, Bai Lin was also the only local official who was praised by thick ink.

When Bai Lin, who had finished reporting yesterday's situation, walked out of the Thorn History Mansion and met the envious and jealous eyes of his Huzhou colleagues crowded at the door, he was inevitably happy and afraid.

I'm glad I made the right choice yesterday, but I'm afraid that I also had a wavering that no one knows.

Huzhou merchants also gathered together, want to visit the history of the thorn, they chose the evening, but still did not get the favor of the thorn Shi, the same, only the grocery business started Mrs. Zhang got the reception, Mrs. Zhang held her head high, will never leave the hand of the cigarette stick folded two paragraphs, indicating that the Lord Thorn Shi said, Fu Shou ointment harms people, Lord Thorn Shi will personally for her to recuperate and quit, this is the love of Lord Thorn Shi, her wife must not live up.

Mrs. Zhang was also bathed in the envious gaze of her peers, and her husband followed her dejectedly, holding her broken cigarette stick.

Li Liancheng, the richest man in Huzhou, was full of bitter water, and waited for half the night on the Assassin Shi Gate, and finally Su Xun came out and confiscated his gift, but sent a generous gift on behalf of the Assassin Shi, saying that he was grateful to Mr. Li for his righteous help.

Li Liancheng didn't dare not accept this gift, but he was full of sadness when he accepted it. He was the first to help others, and he was the one who accepted and protected the rivers and lakes, but in the end, Mrs. Zhang's rival who had fought all her life had the upper hand.

Those officials and wealthy businessmen who had been waiting all day and all night, when they dispersed in the slightly hot wind of early summer, thought of the dungeon under their feet, full of prisoners waiting to be investigated at the moment, and thought that not long ago, the slightly black soil in front of them had been soaked with blood, and their hearts couldn't help but jump suddenly, and the slightly hot wind was as cold as a bone.

Immediately afterwards, Wen Zhen promoted a group of officials, in addition to the positions of Zhizhong and the county guard who need to be assigned by the imperial court, the rest of the soldiers Cao, Gong Cao, Book Cao, Dianxue, etc., who are responsible for Huzhou's military affairs, official assessment and personnel selection, money, food, books, and education and persuasion, and other low-level officials, and the officials who performed differently in that day's incident and were purged, the vacated positions were all promoted and supplemented by Zhang Yue's secret observation and assessment in the near future, and the officials who had no problems in the incident that day were promoted and supplemented, even in the rivers and lakes to help, Ji Shusheng, who was favored by Wen Zhen, also arranged a position in the classics, responsible for the management and assessment of state students.

The newly appointed Bo Cao and others worked overtime day and night and began to check the Cao Gang's account books.

Wen Zhen had repeatedly sent people to contact the Cao Gang before, but the Cao Gang was arrogant and pushed and delayed for various reasons, but he didn't expect to be resolute in assassination. The Cao Gang was originally powerful and no one could shake it, but they didn't expect Wen Zhen to be able to drive all the state troops, so they were immediately copied.

When the state army broke into the secret room of the Cao Gang's main altar, the Cao Gang leader was trying to burn a pile of account books, the fire had already burned, and Su Xun, who was specially driven there, was restored to its original state.

Originally, the state army also had evidence of escorting excess grain and grass to Dingyang, but Wen Zhen wanted to exonerate the state army, so he could only start with the Cao Gang, but although the account books of the Cao Gang were in hand, the content involved in the transportation of grain and grass was mostly code words, which was difficult to use as evidence.

Zhang Yue was so anxious that he was bald, and he consciously betrayed the trust of adults, Huzhou's taxes were greasy, and the matter of fattening the Tang family was so clear and clear, but he couldn't come up with convincing direct evidence. Therefore, tossing and turning, sleepless day and night, the hairline moved up an inch, but he insisted on refusing to find Wen Zhen to complain, Su Xun persuaded him, he frowned, and said: "The adult is already very hard, you see that her robe is wider and wider, indicating that she must have lost weight recently, not to mention that Huzhou was rectified after that day, how can she still make trouble for her?" ”

Su Xun glanced at the Office of the Thorn History, and thought to himself that the skirt was indeed getting bigger, but where did the person lose weight? Since His Royal Highness has come down, the menu has been changed, and the adult's appetite has gradually improved, five or six meals a day are nourished, and his cheeks are slightly bulging, and only Lord Zhang, who is blind, will look at the adult "Chu Chu is pitiful, weak and weak", right?

doesn't look down in the mirror, the person who is obviously "pitiful and weak" should be himself, right?

Just thinking about it, he saw Wen Zhen swaying around, Su Xun subconsciously stood in the shadows, Zhang Yue raised his head happily, saw his movements, and was stunned, thinking that this person had seen an adult recently, and he was always a little avoidant, I didn't know what it meant, but his attention was immediately attracted by Wen Zhen, and found that she was wearing a loose scarlet shirt on the top, and a looser skirt on the bottom, the hem of the shirt was also wide, embroidered with five-color embroidery lace that was inch wide, and the whole person was dressed flutteringly, but not too bloated, and there was a kind of graceful charm, It's just that I've never seen this style in the East Hall, so I was stunned for a while.

Suddenly, a person holding a tall document walked straight in front of him, blocking his view of Wen Zhen, Zhang Yue came back to his senses, only to find that Cai Sang didn't know when he walked out from behind her and blocked between the two.

He coughed inexplicably, and nodded with Caisang, because he had played an embarrassing scene with Caisang before, his face was still red with a long reflex arc.

Tianwen CP big fan Caisang rolled his eyes and saluted him.

Master Zhang, who had no distractions, was already attracted by the pile of papers, and when he opened it to see that it was the account book of the Cao Gang's daily expenses, he couldn't help but be stunned.

Wen Zhen sat down while eating snacks, she was already pregnant, not long after Yan Sui left, as if her belly had finally completed the task of covering up, she inflated like a balloon, fortunately, her loose clothes became a routine, and it was not difficult to cover up, and she made a few new sets of new clothes according to the style of the Korean skirt, because she felt that style could best cover her stomach.

But it really won't be until eight or nine months later, and it's still difficult to cover this belly, so she has to finish everything while it's not old enough, and then she has to raise the baby with peace of mind.

She dragged a piece of paper, where the table had been listed according to the modern method of keeping accounts and expenditures, and then clicked on the account books, and said: "I have ordered to find out the account books of the daily food and expenditure of the Cao Gang, and rearrange them with the modern income and expenditure accounting method, listing the expenses of food and clothing for the Cao Gang in ordinary times and the records of the use and loss of ships, and comparing the relevant expenses of the Cao Gang during the annual tax collection and transportation period. and the ship, manpower, and expenses required to transport the taxes in the remaining states with similar taxes during the same period......"

Zhang Yue was still blindfolded at first, but then his eyes slowly lit up.

"The Cao Gang will use a large number of ship personnel during the transportation of taxes, and compared with the expenses and ship records of their usual personnel, it will be easy to calculate the number of ships and personnel required to transport taxes according to the reduced quantity...... Then, in the same period, there are also data on the number of ships and personnel needed for water transportation in nearby states with similar tax amounts, and when you compare them, you will find that the number of vehicles and personnel carried by the Cao Bang far exceeds that of nearby states......

"In addition, the grain collected is stored in the Huzhou granary, and then it will be transported to the Caobang wharf by the carriage and horse shop, how many cars and horses were hired that day, and how much grain can be stored in each cart, which is also a specific amount of evidence, looking for evidence is like this, there is no need to pick a direction, if you want to do something, you must go through many procedural links, then there will inevitably be traces to follow, not to mention the tax on grain such a big thing, loopholes can be said to be everywhere, moreover, Cao Gang everyone's Grange shop property, Huang Qingsong, Gong Pengcheng, Lin Yadong and others have their properties in their names, and their daily transactions have also been cleaned up and impeached, and they have been submitted to the imperial court together with our records and account book cleanup results...... Remember, the key to our attack this time is not to hammer the Tang family, anyway, it is useless to hammer it, our key is to verify the accurate taxes of previous years, so as to make a reference for the imperial court's tax amount this year. Wen Zhen made the final decision.

Zhang Yue clapped his palms, only felt that his heart was happy, and he sincerely admired: "Adults have clear ideas and outstanding knowledge, and I have only seen Yue in his life!" ”

Cai Sang said: "Yes, yes, my Royal Highness!" ”

Wen Zhen smiled: "If you don't speak, no one will treat you as a dumb person!" ”

After she finished speaking, she regained that lazy spirit, covered her mouth and yawned, and openly said that she had to skip work to make up for her insomnia last night, and staggered away with Caisang. Zhang Yue looked distressed, and actively said, "Adults have worked hard, adults are slacking off all night for official business, why bother to stick to this district for half a day." And rest assured, everything is in order. While sighing and Su Xun: "My lord, it's really hard......"

Su Xun looked at the bags under his eyes that were about to droop to his cheeks, and then thought about the radiant Lord Thorn Shi who had been working hard day and night just now, and felt as if he had been sunned by a dog......

was slandering, and I heard Zhang Yue say in a slightly critical tone: "Su Xun, what's wrong with you lately?" Could it be that there is something on your mind? I see that you have been a little far away from adults these days. If there is really any difficulty, it is inconvenient to talk to adults, and the same is true for me. We are also friends who have lived and died together, and we should not leave a mental obstacle. ”

Su Xun raised his eyes, but Zhang Yue's slightly concerned gaze was met, his heart moved, knowing that the nerd was not actually stupid, on the contrary, his mind was sensitive and delicate, and he stayed by the side of the adult for a long time, and became more and more sensitive, and this said, although there were three points of warning and vigilance, but there were seven points of concern sincerely, and a faint warmth swelled in his heart, so his mood was more complicated, and he smiled for a while, and said, "The adult is too worried." It's just that because of the incident in the Blue Mountain Villa last time, I feel that I have no martial arts, and I lack experience, and sometimes I am still a drag around adults, so I think it is better to practice more, and when I can be on my own, I will serve Lord Thorn Shi. ”

Zhang Yue put his mind at ease, and said with his eyebrows stretched: "It is a privilege in this life to be able to serve adults, you have great skills, it is already rare, and you don't have to blame for everything." He flipped through the form drawn by Wen Zhen and sighed: "My lord is really an all-rounder!" What is this...... Forms, clear income and expenditure, concise and to the point, seemingly simple, but in fact extraordinary. At least there are a few old officials in the Assassin Shi Mansion, but no one can take it out, but Lord Assassin Shi took it out so lightly. I can't just put this form in the chapter and hand it over, but I have to write another form and talk to the old ministers about the benefits of this form, if it can be promoted throughout the country, it is also a credit to the adults. Then he pushed the tables and account books over, and said, "Since you have nothing to do, do you want to sort out this account book with me?" ”

Su Xun looked at the account book, his hand moved slightly, but finally smiled: "I forgot, Captain Pan asked me to go to the school to learn guns with him." ”

Pan Hang has already entered the state army battalion and received a lieutenant position.

Zhang Yue didn't care, and said: "It's also a good thing to keep fit, go quickly." ”

Su Xun got up, and when he turned the corner, he glanced back, and saw that Zhang Yue had already buried his head in the high pile of account books, he sighed inexplicably, and suddenly heard someone behind him ask: "What are you sighing for?" ”

Su Xun turned around, and saw Wen Zhen, who had already left, standing behind him with a smile, his heart jumped, but his face was quite calm, and he only smiled slightly: "It's really hard to think about Master Zhang." It just so happened that Lord Thorn Shi hadn't left yet, so Xun reminded my lord, Lord Zhang's account books here are very important, do you think you should send more guards to guard them day and night? ”

Wen Zhen glanced at him and said with a smile: "You are very cautious, I know." ”

Su Xun bowed and left. Cai Sang looked at his back, pouted and said, "Miss, you don't talk to him less!" ”

Wen Zhen walked forward leisurely: "Xipi powder is poisonous—"

Cai Sang chased after him: "Miss, I don't have a hippie smile with you, really, I'm serious with you, this person, he has a deep mind at first glance, and he is not worthy of lifting shoes for His Highness——"
