Zhou Ang went out with a full hug of books.

Of course, before choosing the book, he sincerely consulted and asked Lu Duan to explain and sort out his collection of books for himself, mainly history books - and this so-called "combing", in fact, to a certain extent, is enough for Zhou Ang to find out the current evolution and continuation of the world through Lu Duan's words.

According to Lu Duan's explanation, the world of this plane, there has been a recorded history, there have been nearly 3,000 years, and the early history is often blurred into some myths and legends, but after all, there are still records, but according to Lu Duan, how much of them are true, how much is made up, no one can prove, and since the "Book of Qin" 1,700 years ago, it is the official beginning of the historian.

This set of "Book of Qin", which is 360 volumes long, is still a model of private history, recording the history of more than 200 years from the founding of the Qin Dynasty to the young emperor of Qin.

According to the classification learned by later generations, this book that opened a "precedent for historians" should be classified as a chronicle of dynastic history.

Later, there was a "Book of Jin", which was originally also a private history, but Lu Duan's evaluation was not high.

Because the author had only written less than half of the manuscript, the imperial court intervened, forcing the author into the official body of history, and forbidding him to continue writing his own part. But later, his unfinished "Book of Jin" still circulated and survived.

Since then, the Book of Jin has had an official version of the Book of Jin, and a part of the private version of the Book of Pseudo-Jin.

In both versions, Lu Duan's evaluation is very average.

But at the very least, these books record the longest period of great unification recorded in the history of the world, because the Qin and Jin dynasties were connected for a total of 457 years, and the Wei dynasty after the Jin dynasty collapsed shortly after the official version of the Book of Jin was completed.

That is to say, from the Qin Dynasty to the Wei Dynasty, these three dynasties, totaling more than 500 years, are the era of great unification. Later, dynastic disputes and changes were rapid, and there was always a lack of a strong unified political power, so the official government was unable to control public opinion, and various official historical records and private writings and theories were scattered.

This chaos is more than 300 years.

It was not until more than 900 years ago that the Han Dynasty regained its domination of the world.

Even, until Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty came out, it was recognized that the entire Han Dynasty had reached its peak, conquering the south and the north, invincible, and even the pinnacle of the Central Plains regime since the beginning of historical records.

But the glory of the Han Dynasty lasted less than two hundred years.

Subsequently, the world gradually divided.

The Han Dynasty still exists, and remains one of the most powerful countries in the world, but as the countries gradually become independent and change, it is no longer able to restore great unity.

In less than a hundred years, this world has been unified by the Han Dynasty and turned into a six-nation state, but in those hundreds of years, although various countries have cut the land, the Han Dynasty still maintains the strength to whip the world.

Four hundred years ago, the Six Kingdoms became the Seven Kingdoms, and the Han Dynasty was a little weaker.

In the end, more than 270 years ago, the founding of the Tang Dynasty took a large piece from the already weakened Han Dynasty, which not only laid the political pattern of the eight kingdoms that continued to this day, but also made the Han State finally decline to the lowest point in history, and since then only retained the status of the nominal suzerainty of the world, and in fact lost the ability to whip the world.

Until more than 20 years ago, the Tang Dynasty saw the weakness of the Tang Dynasty, sent the strength of the whole country, and tried to unify the process of the world again, wanting to restore the glory of the ancestors, but was thwarted under the joint efforts of the two prime ministers of the Tang Dynasty.

Therefore, in fact, from another angle, it can be understood that it was the battle presided over by Xu Xiang and Lu Xiang that year, the northern attack on Xianbei, the eastern war against the Han State, all of which were victorious, and the first war fought the peace of the world for more than 20 years.

Of course, in the first 200 years of the Han Dynasty, there was an official revision of the "Book of Han", but this book is obviously not "complete", the Han Dynasty as the so-called "co-lord of the world" after the world's disputes, his more than 700 years of history until now, there is no official authoritative version, often all countries compile countries.

After about an hour of effort, Lu Duan calmly told the history of the past 3,000 years in the world, which can be regarded as the most basic science popularization for Zhou Ang.

And listen to it in Zhou Ang's ears, that is to say, I want to read history, and the stalk and main line of the history of this world are in the four books "Book of Qin", "Book of Jin", "Book of Pseudo-Jin" and "Book of Han".

In the end, Zhou Ang selected the first ten volumes of the Book of Han from all the books in the collection and decided to take them back to read.

Although he felt that perhaps those "prehistoric" myths before the Book of Qin might hide what he wanted to find the most, he was more interested in Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

And the history of the Han Dynasty, to some extent, can also be regarded as modern history.

............

The characteristic of this era history book is that every word in the book is handwritten.

Because the writing of history and the compilation of historical books have been completely in the hands of the imperial court, and the imperial court has no intention of letting all kinds of historical books spread to the people, plus each historical book is undoubtedly a big block, often hundreds of volumes, if you want to publish them one by one, the amount of work is simply amazing, so if you want to read history, there is almost only one channel, go to Guozijian to borrow it.

And you have to be qualified to borrow it.

Like Lu Duan, a large bibliophile with a collection of tens of thousands of books at home, including almost all the important books of the time, and mainly including almost all important historical books, is really extremely rare.

Therefore, when the former prime minister opened his library to himself without reservation, and patiently sorted out the main line of thousands of years of history for himself, Zhou Ang was really full of gratitude from the bottom of his heart.

............

Zhou Ang came on horseback, but he didn't prepare any tools in advance, and it was already quite difficult to bring the first ten volumes of the "Book of Han" with him. And after he rode back to the city, he did not rush to the county Zhu Yamen as soon as possible, but first went back to his home, put his things at home, and then rode back to the county Zhu Yamen.

So he ended up tragically missing the noon meeting in the yamen.

As soon as he entered the yamen and returned the horse, he happened to meet Du Yi and Liu Rui, who rushed over in the middle of the meal, and then Chen Fan also chased after him.

Seeing Zhou Ang, Du Yi said: "Zixiu came just right, let's go together, get on the horse, and then talk." ”

So as soon as Zhou Ang got off the horse, he got on the horse again.

A group of four people went straight to Sogo Fang.

On the way, Du Yi briefly explained to Zhou Ang what was going on.

Just now, the county sent someone to inform it, saying that there was a murder case in Sogo Fang, but according to the preliminary judgment, this matter seems to involve a mysterious force, and the county yali and the county Zhu Yamen have been cooperating in similar cases all year round, of course, they chose to notify this side as soon as possible.

At present, the preliminary news is that it seems to be another case of monster homicide.

Under the fast horse, the group of four of them quickly rushed to Sogo Fang.

The shop where the accident occurred had been blocked by the catchers in the county office, but there were layers of people around it. It was broad daylight, and although the weather was hot, it couldn't extinguish everyone's mood of watching the excitement.

The four of them dismounted on the periphery, and the reins were handed over to Chen Fu to carry, and then Liu Rui took the lead, and the three of them separated the crowd and squeezed in, and soon saw a Lingzhou County Historian on the scene of the county government, Xu Zhong.

It's also an old acquaintance.

When Zhou Ang went to Chen's house to receive a job of copying the "Diamond Sutra", he was the guarantor.

Seeing Du Yi coming in with someone, Xu Zhong hurriedly caught up with him, caught a glimpse of Zhou Ang was also there, and nodded vaguely to say hello, and Zhou Ang also nodded.

Then, Xu Zhong whispered to the three people: "It's a guy from this butcher shop, who was disemboweled, and his heart was taken away." According to the people in the store, the murderer came directly to the door, that is, he came to this guy, argued with each other for a few words, and then started, and the witnesses unanimously said that the murderer did not use a knife, but directly tore open the man's chest with his hands, took out his heart, and ......"

Speaking of this, Rao is Xu Zhong is also a veteran of handling cases, but he still showed a disgusting expression and said: "It is said that the murderer swallowed that heart alive on the spot." And then walked away. ”

Saying that, Xu Zhong couldn't help but look back at the store and said, "At that time, a few guys in the store, as well as a few people who were buying meat, were all scared crazy. Now they are all confined in the back yard. ”

After listening to this, Du Yi, Liu Rui and Zhou Ang all exchanged glances with each other: the judgment of the county government is correct, this kind of case is not something they can handle.

So, Du Yi quickly said: "Xu Dianshi, you continue to block this place until our follow-up people arrive." Other than that...... Arrange for someone to watch the horses for us. ”

Xu Zhong immediately agreed.

So soon, Chen Tuan was liberated from the errand of watching horses and joined in.

Before his own people arrived, he had to use the people of the county government to control the order of the scene and control those witnesses, so Du Yi did not plan to go to the backyard for interrogation as soon as possible, but decided to see the scene of the crime first.

Of course, Zhou Ang followed in as soon as possible.

But before entering, his eyes fell on the pork hanging at the door of this butcher shop, and then his eyes swept around one by one, and he felt that there seemed to be nothing unusual except for a little more people around him to watch the excitement, so he was ready to go in.

However, he had already taken a step, but he suddenly turned his head back, and searched the crowd for a moment, and found exactly the pair of eyes that he felt was wrong when he just swept by.

The man shrank in the crowd, but his eyes were chasing Zhou Ang all the time.

Seeing that Zhou Ang finally looked at him, the man's face, which was already about to cry, suddenly showed a pleading look.

This person Zhou Ang still knows him, his name is Lu Dayuan.
