Fall in love with the technology tree [Three Kingdoms]

Purple lightning pierced the sky and illuminated the dark outline of Xu County's granary.The horses in the stables were restless as if they had expected something.

"Boom!" Thunder exploded in the midnight sky.Bean-sized raindrops began to crackle and fall.The icy drops of water hit the ground, forming a faint layer of freezing fog ten centimeters above the ground, and the sleeping citizens in the room shrank involuntarily under the covers.

The heavy rain was supposed to cool the city down, but for some reason, the temperature in the granary kept rising.As the roof was blown away by the strong wind, freezing rain poured into the warehouse, and white smoke rose from the grain and haystacks.

In less than half a quarter of an hour, the tongue of flames jumped out, burning into pieces.The strange fire was so fast and fierce, it seemed that what fell from the sky was not rain, but fat that helped to fuel the fire.

"It's...it's done!" The two figures in the darkness looked at the burning granary with ecstasy. "It's said that Xu County is well-defended. It's not because we made it. Mr. Yuan will definitely reward you." As soon as the last word "reward" was spoken, a rope net was lowered from the sky to trap the two of them firmly.The shadow of the Ministry of Spy roamed like a ghost in the alley without making any sound.

In the private room on the top floor of the Peach Blossom Restaurant, the police from the inspection department kicked in the door and splashed water on the drunk Cao Anmin and his party to wake them up. "What are you doing? Do you know who I am? Huh?" Cao Anmin cursed with his tongue out, and what responded to him was a clammy shackle.

In an inconspicuous residential house, the uneasy warehouse manager jumped up when the door knocked, and hurriedly grabbed the dagger beside the pillow.The door opened, and his wife and children, who should have left Xu County long ago, were tied up in a string.The officers and soldiers in the rainstorm smiled darkly at him. "Bang Dang." The dagger fell to the ground.

……

Similar incidents happened in every corner of Xu County.This is a huge, meticulous and premeditated arrest operation.From moths to assassins, no one can escape this giant palm that blends into the foundation of Xu County.

It's midnight, and the freezing rain doesn't mean to abate.Ah Sheng stood on the turret of the city wall, watching the flames in the warehouse area gradually go out.Lu Meng held up the umbrella for her, and Zhuge Liang lit the lamp for her.

"The fire started strangely and went out quickly." Zhuge Liang said, what happened that night was more traumatic than reading a book of "Zuo Zhuan".

"The fire started quickly because there was a lot of quicklime in the warehouse; it extinguished quickly because the grain and grass had been removed. When the top layer of straw was burned, the fire would naturally go out."

Zhuge Liang sighed: "...It was just military corruption, but now it's all right, and the label of fornication with foreign enemies is dead."

Ah Sheng glanced at him: "I said earlier that I would teach you how to deal with paperwork. It's better to hit the sun than to choose a day. Let's do it tonight. Good materials are ready-made, and I'm afraid it will take all night."

Zhuge Liang pointed in disbelief at the granary where there was still smoke, and a string of criminals.At the same time, a major case involving the army, the academy, wealthy businessmen from all over the country, foreign spies, officials of Xu County, and Cao's internal interest game, is it so exciting to come up?I'm just a kid!

"Scared?"

"Not afraid." Xiao Liang gritted his teeth.

Back in Cao's study, the cases were already full of documents, and there were also a steady stream of interrogation records sent from various prisons, and the pen and ink on them were not dry yet.Dozens of large candles brightly illuminate the room, and refreshing herbs exude a cool to pungent smell on the incense burner.

Zhuge Liang picked up the top folder and flipped through it, almost confused by the terminology in his eyes.After finally finding a few key words, Zhuge Liang realized that this was a report from a low-level official to a high-level official. The content seemed to be that suspicious people had been found entering the city at the East Gate.

"Classify first, horizontally in chronological order, and vertically in accordance with authority and affiliation. The confessions of criminals are classified separately and compared with what the officials said. If there is any discrepancy, they will be taken out for verification." A Sheng pointed him, "You are a beginner. Just assume they're telling the truth."

Little Bright Point nodded: "I'm applying for Amon to help." Good brother, we will die together.

"If Amon is willing to help you." Asheng was noncommittal, and took the lead to sit down and write.The children just need to understand what happened, but for her, the task is even more onerous—to restore the intentions of everyone involved in the incident through the processed text one by one, and judge whether their motives will harm her. rule established.

The paper pages were turned, the penholder and the inkstone collided, the candles gradually became shorter, and the sky outside was already bright, with the sun hanging high.

Seeing the preliminary interrogation come to an end, Ah Sheng began to summon officials at all levels, went down to a certain inn to act as a secret sentry, and went to work in the prison of the Ministry of Public Security, beating those who should be beaten, those who should be encouraged, and at the same time reviewing the documents Get the bottom of the details that are blurred.

It wasn't until close to noon that the documents scattered on the floor were stacked into a hill again, but there were already dense annotations on them.Some of them were distributed for execution, some were burned, and finally there were three neat piles left, which needed to be sealed.

"Master, let's rest for a while." Luo Chi served A Sheng a hot wolfberry, tuckahoe, and angelica soup. "It's been spinning for six hours, and even a hardened person can't hold it."

Both Zhuge Liang and Lu Meng were already lying on the table drowsy. Hearing this, they raised their heads with a begging expression.Young people are sleepy, but they wake up refreshed.Unlike Ah Sheng himself, a wrinkle formed at the corner of his eye after being tired.

"Forget it, I'll sleep for a while." She took the soup and drank it in one gulp, then turned her head and told the guards, "You guard these papers, and there must be no mistakes."

"promise!"

This time I slept until the sky was full of red clouds, and the freezing rain had passed, leaving a trace of cold wind, slapping on the person's face, refreshing me.Ah Sheng led two young apprentices, holding a bamboo box containing documents, and climbed up the steps that were dyed red by the setting sun.

The huge school palace reveals its heavy blue-tiled roof, standing quietly in the floating red light, like a bhikkhuni with red makeup.

"I'll carry the boxes for the lord." Zhao Qi jumped out from nowhere, and approached Ah Sheng flatteringly.At this moment, he couldn't see the shadow of the chief official at all.

Ah Sheng was also polite and threw the bamboo box to him.With the burden removed, she can finally talk to her disciples more calmly:

"The major affairs of the country are between Si and Rong. Do you think Si is more important, or Rong is more important?"

"Cao Zi built a school to promote hundreds of schools, which is a kind of merit..."

"Although, in troubled times..."

"Rong is more important." Ah Sheng interrupted the children's chatter with just four words.

Xiao Liang opened his mouth: "Yes, that's what I want to say."

"In history, there are only dynasties that have been conquered, and there is no strange talk about establishing a country by mouth." A Sheng put his hands on his knees and stepped up the last step. They are the guarantee that I can give lectures in a gentle manner after the troubled times come."

The brothers and sisters looked at each other, and then looked at Zhao Qi in unison.Zhao Qi winked at the two children.

Ah Sheng led them through the veranda in the setting sun. "My disciples and apprentices have established forces. They are called nine divisions, but there are actually more. But there are only three knives. If the master masters one and a half, he can maintain the rule; if the subordinates master more than one, they will lead to death."

Ah Sheng led them across the lotus pond reflecting the sunset. "Violence is power. I forged knives with violence, and the knives have power. When two of them express a common desire, even I have to compromise."

Zhuge Liang approached A Sheng, and asked in a low voice: "There are two knives, one is Taishou Zhao, and who is the other?" Who is the other person who provoked the shocking case and tried to drive the forces of Juancheng out of Xu County?

"There's one more, right here."

They stood in front of an unpopular tower, with three neat characters on the plaque: "Tibetan".
