Chapter 20

As the sun rose, Shen Lian started his morning exercises.

As the saying goes, never leave your tunes, never leave your fists, practice Sanjiu in winter, and practice Sanfu in summer. If you want to learn amazing skills, you must work hard.

Ever since he came into contact with martial arts, Shen Lian had never slept in for half a day. He got up on time every day, stood up against the rising sun and practiced martial arts, even in wind and rain, never slack off.

Body training is absolutely impossible to slack off.

If you don't practice for one day, you will know it; if you don't practice for three days, your opponent will know it; if you don't practice for ten days, the King of Hades will know it.

Body training is very boring.

No matter what state you are in, no matter how profound your mind is, it is all about transferring Qi and blood, tempering your muscles and bones, from the skin to the internal organs, from the blood to the bone marrow.

From the outside to the inside, from the inside to the outside, heart and mind, mind and qi, qi and strength, use the body to train qi, use qi to nourish the soul, use the soul to nourish qi, use qi to refine the body...

The name of the mental method that Guo Bujing taught Shen Lian could be described as extremely earthy, called "Physique Tempering Technique". The language is concise, the words are precise, and the skills are pure and pure.

Just like a snail climbing a vine, although every step is very boring, every time you practice, you can feel the growth, and you are one step closer to the grape.

This kind of mentality may not be suitable for those peerless geniuses with extraordinary talents, but it is very suitable for Shen Lian.

Shen Lian was bathed in the sun, constantly making various movements, moving blood and tempering his muscles and bones.

The reason for being so leisurely is because Shen Lian is used to morning exercises, and secondly because Shen Lian has no official duties.

Jingxiang martial arts suffered heavy losses, many sect leaders died in the scuffle, and disciples competed for positions. If not handled well, it is easy to accidentally injure the people of Jingxiang.

Of course, Shen Yumen is responsible for this matter, and this is what Shen Yumen must do if he wants to control Jingxiang Martial Arts.

If you don't do well, you can only get out of here.

Jingzhou's officialdom suffered heavy losses, and there were spies from various forces stirring up the wind and rain. If one was not careful, it would inevitably cause trouble and cause trouble for ten years.

Of course, Lu Jianxing is responsible for this matter. If he wants to continue to be promoted, this is what Lu Jianxing must do.

If you can't do it well, just feel free to be the governor.

As for Shen Lian?

If there is no shortage of money and no need for promotion, then it is natural for him not to be in his position and not seek his own government. He stayed up late last night to finish writing the two memorials, and Shen Lian's official duties were all completed.

It’s so relaxing!
After Shen Lian finished his morning training, he planned to go to the government office to show off in front of his two elder brothers, but before he finished stretching, he saw Lu Jianxing walking over seriously.

"Second brother, something happened."

"What's going on? Could it be that in addition to the Qinglong Society, the Power Gang and the Destiny Sect, there are other forces that have emerged?"

Lu Jianxing said with a bitter face: "I hope that a few big forces will emerge, so that I can get more credit, but it's a pity that God doesn't give me a chance!"

Shen Lian wondered, "What happened?"

Lu Jianxing said: "Jingzhou's government office, all the silver in it has been emptied, and Jingzhou's taxes for the first half year have been stored in the warehouse, and now they are all gone."

Shen Lian: (⊙_⊙)?
"Let's check the accounts. I think there must be something wrong with Jingzhou's account books. Only now do I understand why Ling Tuisi faked his death and escaped. He has to leave."

Lu Jianxing nodded: "If Ling Tuisi did this, according to His Majesty's temper, there will be an extra straw man in the Jingzhou government office, which will really give him an advantage!"

"Any clues?"

"There is a secret road under the warehouse, leading to the back mountain of Ghost Stone, the thoroughfare of Jingxiang and the nine provinces. As long as you transport the silver to the ship, you can transport it no matter how much it is."

Jingxiang has extremely convenient transportation, both by water and land. With Ling Tuisi, the prefect of Jingzhou personally providing cover, ten treasuries can be emptied easily.

Looking for clues from traffic is tantamount to fantasy. If you want to find clues, you should check from the direction of money laundering, which can save a lot of effort.

In this era without a banking system, is money laundering still necessary?Of course it is very much needed.

First of all, all the official silver in the treasury is marked and cannot be spent directly. It needs to be smelted before being spent. Taking out an ingot of ingot directly is simply a joke.

Even when showing off their wealth, the ingots they took out were re-smelted and could not bear any official marks, otherwise they would be traced by the court immediately.

Secondly, it is very difficult to spend such a large amount of money directly, and it is even more difficult to exchange the money for goods such as silk, silk, satin and porcelain.

This requires extremely complete commercial channels. While ensuring that the stolen money goes out, the original economic structure cannot be damaged, so as not to be found by others.

for example.

Shen Yumen has used Liancheng treasures in recent years, using the channel left by Shen Wansan, and the gold, silver and jewelry are directly transported to the desert outside the pass, and then they will be spent after a circle.

This is very troublesome, but if you don't have this layer of cover-up, you can just go to the pawn shop to pawn. If you take out the jewelry today, the Jin Yiwei will come to your door tomorrow.

It may not be fast for Shen Lian to check other things, but it is always fast and good to check things related to money.

There's no way, who gave Shen Lian the surname Shen?
Don't raise money with the Shen family, otherwise, even if the Heavenly King Lao Tzu personally handles the game, he can still find out.

"Brother, you go to work on business first, leave this matter to me to investigate, and we will find out in two days."

"Bullshit business, the new magistrate of Jingzhou will arrive soon. I'm working hard here on business. I'm making a wedding dress for him. I'm too lazy to do such nonsense!"

"Can you not do it?"

"cannot!"

Lu Jianxing rubbed his head helplessly, thinking that the water in Jingzhou is really muddy, and one thing after another happened.

Shen Lian stretched his waist, and went to the government office to check Jingzhou's accounts for these years. Although they were not professional accountants, the Shen family was born to be able to settle accounts, and they did so quickly and well.

……

"Second, how much is the difference?"

"220 million taels."

"Is it a deficit over the years?"

"No, it's the money removed from the treasury. If you subtract the smelting loss and add the rest of the expenses, the actual amount will be 1805 million taels."

The tax paid by the common people is broken silver, which will be lost in the process of smelting into official silver, which is called fire consumption. Due to the different officials' incorruptibility, the fire consumption is also different.

Three years to clear the magistrate, one hundred thousand snowflakes of silver, where did the money come from?It comes from Huohua!
Not accepting bribes, enforcing the law impartially, winning the reputation of the people, but also earning huge amounts of gold and silver.

Male Gobi!

Bunch of assholes!
All should be sent to Caishikou to be quartered by five horses!
"Twenty percent of the fire consumption? Ling Tuisi has really earned a lot these years. If he can comfortably be the Emperor of the Earth in the land of Jingxiang, it is indeed more comfortable than being promoted."

Lu Jianxing's eyes flashed, thinking that this guy Ling Tuisi could make so much money every year.

"The money is firstly used for management, and secondly used to support the Longsha Gang. Ling Tuisi hasn't had any extravagant enjoyment these years, let alone an emperor."

Shen Lian was used to this. Compared to other state capitals, Ling Tuisi's Huohua could be said to be incorruptible, and he was really a supreme weapon.

Lu Jianxing sighed and asked, "Are there any other clues? Where should I go to investigate?"

Shen Lian said: "Yes, but I can investigate this matter myself, and the case will be solved within seven days."

……

Sunset Racecourse is the largest horse ranch in the Central Plains. To be precise, it is the largest private horse ranch. Heroes in the world like to buy horses from here.

Of course Shen Lian is no exception.

In fact, Shen Lian's current mount was purchased at the Sunset Racecourse last year. It is a rare and good horse, and it is also Shen Lian's indispensable helper.

Now, Shen Lian returned to the sunset racecourse again.

Logically speaking, with Shen Lian's name, he could enter the sunset racecourse with his head held high, but when Shen Lian arrived at the sunset racecourse, he just wanted to shrink his head.

It would be a beautiful thing if he could shrink his head and get out, but it's a pity that Shen Lian can't do that.

A slender hand grabbed Shen Lian's collar.

The tall and strong Shen Lian was lifted up abruptly and thrown onto a chair beside him.

"sit!"

Shen Lian sat down obediently.

"drink wine!"

Shen Lian picked up the wine bowl and drank it down in one gulp.

"What are you doing at Sunset Racecourse?"

"Investigate the case!"

"What else can you do besides investigate the case!"

"Escape!"

Shen Lian suddenly turned over and rushed towards a horse like a sharp arrow. As soon as he sat on the saddle, he found a noose tied around his waist, making it difficult to escape even half a step.

Shen Lian smiled bitterly and said, "Senior sister, please spare me. How about I go find Zhui Feng?"

"Chasing the wind is not fun, you are the most fun!"

"Junior brother, are you here to play?"

"Instead of playing, what else can you do?"
