When the sky turned dark again, the noise and movement inside and outside the city of Stone City disappeared again, leaving only the lights that were still swaying on the city wall.

This also means that a large-scale search of open flames with staff and a three-foot-style exploration of the ground in this stone city has come to an end.

"Master, the result of the torture has come out..."

And in the Anmu Hall, which is a temporary central army, I listened to my subordinates' reports expressionlessly.

"These enemies came from the river at first..."

"On the river?..."

When I heard this, I was a little surprised, but I felt relieved. Fortunately, it was not an internal loophole, and it was repaired in time.

Well, after interrogating these prisoners, it was obvious that they did not emerge out of thin air, nor did they run out of strict guards or negligently, but received support from the outside world, or some of the dowry personnel were secretly responding.

Therefore, with frontal battles as a cover, he secretly rode his boat along the riverside to the north of Stone City, and then used a small boat to pass through the rugged rocks. A small group of death-crawling soldiers climbed up from the cliffs on the river as surprises;

Moreover, they did not launch an attack rashly, but instead attacked the weak links in the rear, released the palace guards and gate troops locked on the north corner platform, and drove them to set fire everywhere to cover up their next steps to increase the results of the war, and even gathered their troops to sneak attack Anshi Palace.

But they obviously overestimated the fighting will and determination of these temporary teammates, so they had to be tricked by the battle, and in the end most of them were blown upside down and fell under the stairs of the palace platform.

However, the attack from the other way back almost made them. According to the survivors in the hall, there were only a dozen of these attackers, but they were relatively capable and fierce. Under the guidance of a familiar eunuch, they almost killed everyone when they saw each other, and did not identify or identify the subjects at all. The servants who stayed by Xiao Jinjun were almost killed.

Fortunately, Li Shiniang relied on the narrow space and blocked her by the inner room door. Otherwise, Xiao Jinjun would have been kidnapped by these thieves, which would be a big trouble and particularly difficult and embarrassing thing for me;

Then, a dowry and a big purge was carried out on Xiao Jinjun's side. At least that group of people could not stay anymore.

There is another accidental discovery, that is, Xiao Jinjun's illness was not an accident, but because someone was drugged around him, which was a private planning to divert attention to attract me. The only good news is that according to the accompanying gynecologist Hippo, this is not a fatal drug. As long as you stop, you will have a high probability of recovery.

Regarding this result, I can only sigh that "I just regret being born in the imperial family", and there seems to be no fate that cannot be sacrificed.

Although these dead soldiers who sneaked in were determined, their performance and reaction when questioned were not as good as those eunuchs who were in their inner circle; the former either died in battle after the failure or took the initiative to commit suicide to avoid losing their lives; while the latter, after using the third set of tools a little while, they could easily bite out the remaining hidden suspects one by one.

However, the vague information and clues obtained from them confirmed another speechless thing and development trend, and also made me feel like I was a little bit self-destructive;

You should know that during the process of purging one after another, I deliberately left some selected eyeliners and ears, and selectively indulged them in providing some exaggerated or false information to the south, and even fabricated and pretended to be some of the so-called "flaws" and shortcomings of Huaizhen in exchange for more follow-up investment and rewards.

On the one hand, it is to make the southern states feel at ease and not to frequently change people over, but always expose most of the scope of activities and harm to Huaizhen;

On the other hand, it is to maintain and create an illusory illusion as much as possible to reduce the outside world's evaluation of Huaizhen's specific strength and internal control, and to obtain various resources and conveniences from the national and dynasties as much as possible.

As a result, this kind of reverse intelligence misleading has become an important basis and trust for the other party to decide to take decisive actions. This really makes me speechless.

However, the one who suffered the greatest impact and stimulation, or the biggest blow, was undoubtedly Xiao Jinjun, who was an important party. It seemed like everyone around him was betrayed by his relatives overnight, making everything unrecognizable;

Those familiar people either decisively betrayed and betrayed her, but tried to rob her by attracting the wolf into the house, or died with their eyes closed under the knife of a rebellious companion; one of the old officials who grew up with her since childhood was even the envoy who drugged her food;

Finally, before he died of suicide by resisting arrest and yelling without any regrets or guilt, he shouted, "All this is for the national court and the government", "Don't blame me", "The miscellaneous family has a clear conscience".

In addition, the aggravation of depression in the original illness made her easily fall into a kind of overwhelmed self-pity, or self-denial and suspicious emotional entanglement.

But no matter what, I hugged her by the bed for most of the night and comforted her loudly until the second half of the night.

After dawn, I received a new report on the situation again.

"A navy blocked the river surface?"

I walked tightly to the Wangjiang Pavilion on the high place, and saw a faint shadow of sails under the gray and white sky, like white fish, slowly sank on the river surface. Several of them were approaching, and they were trying to project something at this place;

Although most of them fall into the river water and rocky beaches, this means that the river surface that was originally located in the rear was no longer a relatively safe place.

Although the so-called Yangtze River Navy, which was originally affiliated with the He base camp, was already half dead and dead, and the ships were seriously old and aging, the remaining power was still more than enough to block the river surface in the north of Shitou City;

Obviously, the other party was ready to stop taking this step and the short-term measures, and did not give us any possibility of running away from this.

.........

At the same time, the distant northern Huai River has restored a lot of popularity in Sizhou.

In a while, the magistrate of Lianshui County, Zhou Tai, was in a state of surprise. Looking at the news brought by the visitor, he felt so happy that he was about to bloom all over.

He was originally from Meizhou, Lingnan. With his origins and Yu Ze in the examination system of the National Dynasty, he barely obtained a talent-preparing status with the status at the end of the three provincial examinations. He was not qualified to continue to take the two colleges of Peking University, or to be supplemented with the Imperial College and the Imperial College, and even the qualifications of academic officials who were seeking the lowest-ranking local ranks were repeatedly frustrated and could not be compensated.

Therefore, with the persuasion and support of fellow villagers, he went to the north to join Huaizhen, which had not been established for a long time. Finally, he gained the starting point and foundation for entering the officialdom. However, he later found out that this was actually a big pit. It was already extremely difficult to use this as a proof and then turn back to the court to become an official.

Moreover, compared with those colleagues who could act as a magistrate in the rear of the state who could do anything to do under the rule, his position as a county magistrate was actually a result of a serious shrinkage;

In terms of judicial criminal names, there are procuratorial officials and patrol officials, and in charge of the people, there are camps, land envoys and town officials sharing the population. The appointment and supervision and assessment of officials are subject to observation envoys, and the education of the people has their own agricultural offices and work-study schools. The transfer department also sends someone to handle the money, grain, taxation and taxation;

In addition, the county magistrate who came from the military background and the county magistrate from the joint school were decentralized in the control and prevention powers and transfer, so the county magistrate really only had the hard-working and cumbersome main business of household registration management in civil affairs, such as persuading people, farming and sericulture.

On the other hand, I feel that it is a bit uninteresting in my personal life. Most of the daily needs of Huaizhen are allocated according to the status and rank quotas. There are not many opportunities to be greedy for ink and harm the public or private. Instead, the relevant investigations and punishments are extremely strict;

Even if he wants to use his power to eat more, but how much he can afford to use alone, can he stock up on a whole house of canned food or biscuits, and he will not make a fortune by relying on these things alone, nor can he make a considerable fortune;

Not to mention those colleagues in the south, he easily raised a large group of people as a support and driving force. Most of the time, he only had time and worry-free travel and banquets to enjoy the benefits. Therefore, after a few handovers and contacts with the south in the same year, his mind was obviously unbalanced and deviated.

Therefore, although he looked down on him a little, he looked down on him, most of his colleagues who were obviously suffering from a poor background or a lower-level background and were easily satisfied with this situation, but he had no choice but to work with him.

If the general trend is like this, for the sake of future expectations, he can only continue to endure it and even accept his fate. However, not long ago, there seemed to be a turning point.
