My father ordered me to kill the emperor, but His Majesty bestowed a princess upon me instead.

The old path in the west courtyard of the Shen residence was not wide.

It was originally supposed to be a small door for transporting accounts and silver.

Later, it was dug deeper and connected to the drainage ditch of Qingxia General Warehouse.

There wasn't much water in the ditch.

It's all dye.

Ash.

black.

Dark red.

The soles of your shoes will leave different colors when you step on them.

Ah Liu glanced at it.

"Young master, can we still keep the shoes after we get back?"

"able."

"How do I wash it?"

"It will be deducted from your monthly allowance."

He immediately lifted his foot, stepping only into the crack in the stone.

If you use this skill to escape, you'll likely live a long time.

Gu Shisan walked in front.

He knew the old ways, but he didn't know the layout of the Lan Yi Room.

Xu Sandao's men only found the list of nuclear-armed individuals.

Going any further in would alert the hidden agents in Qingxia Gorge.

My father is a very cautious person.

They're so cautious that they only want to leave the danger to me.

There is a wooden plank at the end of the old road.

"name."

"Chen Erniu".

"He's dead."

"I'm not dead."

"The book is dead."

"Then what's my name?"

"A. Seventy-four."

Place of origin.

"Yong'an Liuxi Village".

"wrong."

"Nanhe County, Qingzhou".

"We'll see."

"Nanhe County, Qingzhou".

"accent."

The man started learning the Qingzhou accent.

Someone inside whipped him.

"name."

"Lu Changgui".

"He's dead."

"I am alive."

"The question is about the book."

The person inside said, "Put on your clothes, and your family will receive five bushels of grain as a resettlement allowance."

"Take off your clothes, and you're still a dead man."

"select."

A voice came from inside:

"A. Seventy-five."

Gu Shisan looked at me.

He just asked me what I could give these people.

The answer is now behind the plank.

The accounting process is very simple.

A bugle call.

Five bushels of grain.

The price was handing over the original name.

However, for someone who has been dead for many years according to the county register, their original name cannot be used to receive grain.

A bugle call is acceptable.

I didn't push the door open immediately.

Bai Zhi listened closely to the wooden board for a while.

"It's divided into at least four areas."

"Measure your body in the east."

"The injury was examined on the west side."

"Remember the accent from the north."

"The cards are dealt from the south."

"The general ledger should be in the south."

Ah Liu asked, "How did you figure that out?"

The sound of an abacus.

"Can an abacus be oriented in different directions?"

"Your ears can only hear the meal bell."

Ah Liu felt humiliated.

The old exit is behind the measuring room.

Outside the main gate is the salt transport yard located below Qingxia Village.

If something happens inside, the imperial guards will enter through the north gate.

An unnamed soldier exited from the south gate.

I asked Gu Shisan, "Who is the garrison commander of Qingxia Village?"

"Ge Tong."

"Shen Lie's former subordinates?"

"no."

"Someone from the Wang family?"

"It doesn't look like it."

"Then whose advice does he take?"

Ministry of War.

If Ge Tong were a member of the accounting committee, things would be easier.

But he was a formal military officer of the imperial court.

Upon receiving an urgent order bearing the official seal, one might genuinely believe that they are suppressing a rebellion.

The true seal is most likely to kill those who sincerely do their job.

I instructed Yan Xiaoyi to stick to the old ways.

They are divided into very detailed categories, including length, width, gender, age, and gender.

Each ruler has a number written next to it.

A shirtless man stood on a wooden platform.

Someone behind him was using charcoal to trace the old burns on his shoulder.

The three people inside the room were stunned when they saw the wooden plank open.

"continue."

The middle-aged woman taking measurements instinctively asked, "Who are you?"

"The new verification officer."

"Password."

"Qingxia, Shen Residence"

These six characters were engraved on the bottom of the fake prince consort's seal.

"Deputy Commander?"

I tossed Xue Jiu's Qingxia transfer sign over.

"Where is Xue Jiu?"

"They're mustering the troops."

"Has the young master arrived?"

"arrive."

"Have they withdrawn their troops?"

It's being collected.

"Quickly finish measuring Jia Qiliu."

"Aunt Lan is waiting to report the numbers."

The person being measured in the room was not one of the eight men from Qingfeng.

A Type 74 military uniform was already hanging on the wall.

A fake wound skin was sewn onto the inside of the right shoulder of the garment.

After putting it on, the outside felt like there was an old burn mark.

However, Chen Erniu's real injury was in his left shoulder.

They don't identify themselves as individuals.

Since there was no injury to the right shoulder, a piece of it was made.

If the face doesn't look right, medication can be used to make the skin swell.

If the accent doesn't match, then hit the one that does.

I saw a wooden basin in the corner of the wall.

There were three bloody teeth in the basin.

Ah Liu saw it too.

The woman taking measurements said, "A, number seventy-four, raise your hand."

"Do we need a whip for measuring?"

"If you can't remember the rules, you'll have to be beaten."

"Whose rules?"

"Lanling".

"Which line is Lanling?"

I had already grabbed her wrist and pulled her forward.

Ah Liu never expected this.

The two men barely managed to press the woman down onto the wooden ruler.

Yan Xiaoyi came in from behind the wooden board and lightly touched the back of her neck with the hilt of his knife.

Ah Liu supported her, panting heavily.

"Young master."

"Um."

"Next time something like this happens, could you let Master Yan handle it first?"

"He came too fast."

"Isn't it better to be fast?"

"It makes us look useless."

Ah Liu looked at the woman on the ground.

"We weren't really of any use to begin with."

Chen Erniu was still standing on the wooden platform.

"Take off your clothes."

Instead, he gripped the Type 74 military uniform even tighter.

"What would you give them if they took their clothes off?"

"I'll return your name to you first."

"Can you exchange your name for food?"

"Not at the moment."

"Then I won't take it off."

I've practiced this sentence in my mind many times.

"My mother and two children are in Nanxian County, Qingzhou."

"The county said I was dead."

"The land has also been sold."

"If I go back, they won't recognize me."

"They promised to give us five bushels of grain."

"Give me back my knife."

"What difference does it make who I play for?"

Ah Liu wanted to speak.

If a name can't buy him anything, it's just a piece of paper that the government rewrites for him.

The grain is edible.

I asked, "Have the five bushels of grain been distributed?"

"After getting dressed."

"To whom should it be sent?"

"At home."

"Do they accept grain coupons?"

Bai Zhi accepted it.

The ticket stated that the Chen family of Nanxian County, Qingzhou, received five shi of grain for their resettlement.

It was stamped with the Qingxia Transfer Seal.

Seven days ago, Chen Erniu had not yet put on his armor of the 74th grade.

The grain rations had already been received.

"Did you receive it?"

Bai Zhi asked.

"They said they'd distribute them all at once once there were 109 people."

"This ticket isn't for collecting your food rations."

Bai Zhi said, "This proves that the grain has already been distributed."

"Whether you wear it or not, the five bushels of grain in the account will be gone."

All that can be seen is the imprint.

"They say it's true."

"The seal is real."

"Where's the grain?"

Bai Zhi turned the ticket over to the back.

There is a very small note on the back of cabinet B.

Five shi of grain for settling down is equivalent to four taels and six mace of silver.

No grain was left for his family.

He had already folded the money into silver before he even put on his clothes.

Chen Erniu's face slowly turned pale.

"Then why should I wear this?"

"To prove that five bushels of grain were distributed to a single soldier."

Bai Zhi said, "If you die..."

"You can receive another pension."

Chen Erniu suddenly threw his military uniform on the ground.

It was because he finally realized that the bugle had no intention of supporting him.

We continued further in from the measurement room.

Lanyifang is more complete than Qingzhou Heishiyao.

There is also a pharmacy.

The medicine shelf contains medications that can whiten or yellow the skin, cause rashes, and induce hair loss.

A thirty-year-old can be made to look forty.

A healthy person can be made to appear as a patient.

A person without scars can develop a festering sore within three days.

There is a row of small cubicles at the very back.

Make them listen to the same thing over and over again.

When a person is hungry to a certain extent, they will remember things faster than at any other time.

I released seventeen people from the cubicle.

As soon as the door opened, some people ran outside.

A tall, thin man sat in the corner.

The military uniform is already on.

"What's your name?"

"Yue Da".

"Real name?"

"That's Yue Da."

"Where are you from?"

"Qingzhou Saltworks".

"How many years has he been dead in the account?"

"Six years."

Why stay?

"They provide food."

"Someone has already proven that Anjia Grain is fake."

"I have no home."

"Give the food to myself."

Two meals a day.

"There's also meat."

"You want me to leave? Where to?"

"Return to Qingzhou."

"Will Qingzhou let me into the city?"

"There is a revised list."

Where do I live?

"Temporarily residing in the relief camp."

"What are you doing?"

"Repair the granaries, copy the notices, transport the grain—the choice is yours."

How many meals a day?

"At least two meals."

"Is there meat?"

I looked at Bai Zhi.

Bai Zhi said, "Once every three days."

Yue Da said, "It's once every two days here."

Bai Zhi's complexion was not good.

They're calculating how much an extra meal of meat would cost.

I said, "It can be once every two days."

Bai Zhi looked at me.

"You'll pay?"

"Deduct it from the fake military pay in Qingxia first."

"What if the embezzled military pay has already been used?"

"Deduct it from Xue Jiu's house."

If Xue Jiu heard this, he would probably immediately summon the fingerless Lan Gu.

"Can the knife be kept?"

"Temporarily sealed off."

"I want to join the army."

"We will formally apply for recruitment after the name is reinstated."

"Would the imperial court want me?"

"have no idea."

"Then what did you promise?"

"I promise to treat you as Yue Da for now."

I said, "If the court doesn't want you, you can still do other things."

"If you were to do the eighth grade now..."

"From now on, whoever this garment tells you to kill, you must kill."

Yue Da looked down at his military uniform.

But he walked out of the cubicle with us.

The people from Lan Yifang were gradually moved to the central courtyard.

The more people there are, the harder it is to hide the commotion.

Suddenly, a rapid ringing of a bell sounded from the south.

It's a warehouse sealing bell.

All four wooden doors fell down at the same time.

Immediately afterwards, someone outside shouted:

"The young master has rebelled!"

"Shen An led his troops to seize the warehouse!"

The sound of armored soldiers came from the direction of the north gate.

The garrison at Qingxia Village has descended the mountain.

The people in military uniforms in the courtyard suddenly became chaotic.

People were crowding towards the south gate.

Some people even shouted that the imperial court was going to kill people.

Gu Shisan jumped off the roof.

"Ge Tong has received an urgent order."

"The order states that you killed the transport official and seized the Qingxia granary, and that the garrison should immediately quell the rebellion."

"Whose seal is this?"

"Genuine document from the Ministry of War's military post station."

"What about the deputy signature?"

"Princess Zhaoning's Residence".

Xiao Lingyi is in Yong'an.

Her role as deputy supervisor for disaster relief ended up in Qingxia.

This isn't the first time the Clearing House has used real legal procedures to kill people.

This time, however, one of them was bearing the father's flag.

His wife's signature was stamped on one side.

Ge Tong's voice came from outside the North Gate.

"Listen up, you people inside!"

"Put down your weapons!"

"Hand over the traitor Shen An!"

Someone in the courtyard immediately shouted, "The imperial court really intends to kill the young master!"

At the same time, someone shouted from another direction:

"Protect the young master and get him out of the city!"

Chen Erniu also picked up the military uniform from the ground.

They may not truly acknowledge me as their young master.

However, the imperial guards had already blocked the gate.

When people reach this stage, they are likely to first adopt the identity that is closest to them.

I climbed onto the garment inspection table in the courtyard.

"Don't move!"

When more than a hundred people get into a commotion, making a lot of noise won't help.

Bai Zhi suddenly grabbed the gong from the walnut table.

She threw a stack of resettlement food coupons onto the stage.

"Whoever moves again."

"The value of this grain today is beyond calculation."

I looked towards the north gate.

Torches were everywhere outside the door.

Then he looked at the more than one hundred unnamed military uniforms in the courtyard.

Madam Wang wanted the two sides to shoot at each other.

As long as enough people die.

Tomorrow I can start writing about Shen An's personal troops causing a rebellion.

On one hand, it says that the imperial court has ordered the suppression of the rebellion.

The dead cannot explain what their name was originally.

I picked up the account pen next to the gong.

"Give me your name first."

Someone angrily shouted, "What time is it? Why are you still giving your name?!"

"Precisely because of this time."

I said, "You should report it first."

"The sword is drawn."

"Then only factions remain."

"One hundred and nine people tonight."

"First, state who you are."
