Chapter 116 Chapter 116 Big Move
Yan Shengguang discovered that the person who had recently handed over intelligence to him had changed and looked two or three years younger than before.
Yan Shengguang didn't know much about Lin Si's system, so he just took a curious look at it.
Everyone sighed that Yan Shengguang had changed his personality after returning from Xihe Road. Not only did he no longer indulge in material things, but he was also very serious during the morning court.
In response to this, Yan Shengguang said that being a spy is not that easy and he is very busy every day.
When attending court, he must remember the words of the prince and the ministers. Recently, Lin Si also gave him instructions, if possible, to break down the words by which minister in the summary.
Yan Shengguang used to only know how to eat, drink and have fun, and his family was a scholarly family. The biggest setback he encountered in his life was going to Xihe Road to ask Lin Si to marry him.
How does he know this?
He had read some storybooks before, and the spies described in them were usually just a sentence or a code.
He thought it was easy, and even wrote a very concise sentence the first time he went.
Then he was directly rejected and told that his writing was not standard and he had to follow the format.
Yan Shengguang was puzzled: "What format?"
By now, Yan Shengguang has become very skilled. He first writes the title.
The title is the date plus the main content of the court meeting.
Then leave two spaces on the first line. This was the rule he learned the first time and he is used to it now.
Recently, the Crown Prince and the officials have been looking much more relaxed during court sessions. This is because the grain harvest has been gradually increasing over the past two years, and the treasury is slowly filling up. Military salaries can now be paid.
The army has also been training recently, preparing to defeat Zhuo Zhengchu in one fell swoop and retake the territory.
As for Lin Si, everyone tacitly agreed not to mention him again, and just said that they would kill the traitor of the Zhuo family first.
Only An He, because of Liang Nian's ridicule about the palace examination that year, kept saying that Lin Si was a traitor and asked the prince to be careful.
Lin You was getting a little annoyed by what he was saying.
Zhuo Zhengchu and Lin Si are both traitors, but at the moment it is obvious that Zhuo Zhengchu needs to be eliminated more than Lin Si.
After all, Zhuo Chengchu not only threatened to kill all the royal family members, but also said that he remembered all the officials who judged the case back then and would not let any of them go.
This matter is hostile to the entire political system of Dachen.
When Yan Shengguang first remembered who said what, his memory was not very solid, so he wrote "doubtful" for the things he could not remember clearly in the intelligence.
There was a lot of doubt at the beginning.
By now, he could perfectly record who said what, and he only needed to classify these officials into different factions in his mind.
An He is a typical person who hates the county lord. Every word that comes out of his mouth is good. He either says bad things about the county lord or scolds Liang Nian all day long.
It seems that he purely hates Liang Nian.
Censor Xin secretly took sick leave and recovered from his illness in Xihe Road. He spoke neutrally and tended to be on the side of the county lord. Usually, he would not be able to help but retort if An He said something too much.
Minister Wang, who only knows how to tell the Crown Prince to think twice, no matter what the Crown Prince says, is just like the Crown Prince thinking twice. He is a seasoned man. What he said is of little significance in recording.
Minister Chen lost the favor of the crown prince after his beauty trap failed, so he didn't dare to make any suggestions every time he attended court, because the crown prince wouldn't listen anyway.
After writing the information, Yan Shengguang signed his name and then went out as usual.
On the other side, news of Zhuo Zhengchu also came back.
Lin Si and Liang Nian looked at the two pieces of information and glanced at each other.
Lin Si: "If we can get the greatest benefit at the lowest cost, that would naturally be the best."
Liang Nian pondered and said, "Zhuo Zhengchu is a complete traitor. If he breaks into Anjing, we can follow him and take charge of the situation. That would be a safe bet."
Lin Si agreed with this.
"Then let Zhuo Zhengchu make a big scene first."

This winter was not cold at all for Duan Gaoxing and Lu Yunying because they bought cotton cloth and cotton and made two cotton-padded coats to wear.
Not only that, Lu Yunying also bought woolen gloves and scarves from her neighbors. When she went to work in the morning, she put on the gloves and scarf, and it was like she was wearing an extra piece of clothing.
When the weather gets cold, the girls and women who have no work will form teams to buy wool, take it home and twist it into yarn, and use wooden sticks to hook it into gloves and scarves. There are quite a few people buying it.
When Lü Yunying got home from work, she drank some hot water warmed over honeycomb coals and hurried to tell her husband. 'We had a meeting this morning in our workshop. They said the county lady would make a big move soon, and asked us to trust her and follow her.'
Duan Gaoxing lowered his voice. "Could it be the big move the county lady mentioned?"
Lu Yunying also lowered her voice, "I think so too."
"Of course we followed the County Lord. If it weren't for her, we wouldn't be alive today."
Duan Gaoxing and Lu Yunying are the epitome of the simplest people in troubled times. They don’t care whether the people in power have usurped the throne or not. As long as whoever can feed them is the one they will support.
Although both of them guessed what this so-called big move was, they were not as panicked and flustered as before.
They know that even if there are major actions, the lives of the people will not be affected.
The news of this big move spread from one person to ten and from ten to a hundred, and the people's emotions were even higher than Lin Si's.
What's more, a group of people from a county came to Lingzhou and did nothing else but sneak into the training base in the dead of night. They put the clothes, gloves, pants, meat and vegetables collected by the people in the county at the door and started running.
Fortunately, the soldiers on duty discovered it in time and caught up with the man.
Those people were still shouting. "This is a little gift from the people of the county, you must accept it!"
"If you don't want it, how can we go back and face the people?"
"That's right. We can't fight on the battlefield, so we can only do our little bit."
"No, no, we can't take even a single needle or thread from the people. We really can't accept this." Gan Lang was now completely overwhelmed.
In the end, I didn't want the items and returned them all.
Immediately afterwards, all county magistrates received documents prohibiting the people from gathering privately to deliver gifts to the troops.
The organizer of this event is from the county where Shitou works.
Shitou was so troubled by what he saw that he asked Bai Zhi and the yamen runners to teach those people a lesson.
At first, those people stubbornly refused to listen and just said that they were not wrong and that the things were collected by the people and were a token of their kindness.
In the end, it was Shitou who persuaded people personally.
"You seem to be thinking about your subordinates, but in fact you have greatly increased their workload. This not only causes trouble for them, but also for the county lord."
Those people asked: "How did we cause trouble?"
Shitou argued with them carefully. "Originally, the other members of the group could rest in peace, but now that you've caused trouble, they're going to chase you and return your things. A lot of people are going to come out and argue with you. Furthermore, if word gets out about your behavior, and everyone does it, how can the group continue to train?"
When those people heard this, they thought it made sense.
After Shitou's continued persuasion, the group finally softened their tone.
Shitou sighed: "No matter what, the county lord's army doesn't need to rely on the people to raise funds for the war."
Those people then admitted their mistakes and went home, promising that they would never organize such an event again.
In order to warn people against such incidents, Lin Si wrote an article about this matter when the Li County Monthly Report was published that month.
Those who read newspapers in the county took the newspapers to the people who were delivering the gifts and said, "Look at you, you're all in the newspaper."
Those people were overwhelmed by passion at the time, but now that they have gradually calmed down, they feel a little ashamed.
"This isn't a good thing."
"That's right. Fortunately, there's no name written on it. Otherwise, it would be so embarrassing if others knew about it."
The people reading the newspaper jokingly said, "It's good that you know your mistake now."
After those people left, the neighbors came out to apologize.
"We discussed this matter together in the past, and you ended up going there, and we ended up putting you in the newspaper. I'm really sorry."
The neighbors' apologies were genuine. After all, everyone had discussed this matter together, and they couldn't let these few people bear all the blame in the end.
The people who had delivered the gifts laughed. "Auntie, that's very polite. County Magistrate Shi just gave us a lecture, it's nothing serious. Just put it in the newspaper, what a great honor! I'll definitely keep this newspaper as a family heirloom."

Meng Nuo drank milk tea and ate snacks, lying happily on the recliner in the luxury suite of the inn, waiting for the maid to buy newspapers and read the latest updates about her scumbag husband.
The maid came back and handed the newspaper to Meng Nuo.
"Your Highness, there's a lot of discussion about this month's newspaper article."
Meng Nuo slowly opened his eyes and stretched out his slender fingers. "Let me see."
She glanced at it first.
It was forbidden for common people to send things to the troops without permission. She glanced at the content roughly and thought that not many people would start discussing it on the road.
She looked down again.
The next article describes the entire process of a female worker's divorce from her husband, interspersed with interviews with the woman and her daughter. It also encourages everyone to seek help or divorce through the provincial or county government if they are unhappy or unhappy in a marriage, or if their partner is violent.
Monno quickly sat up from the recliner.
Meng Nuo's eyes widened. Isn't this the girl who left a message in the fan club? It must be her.
They actually got divorced.
Meng Nuo suddenly felt a sense of accomplishment. Although she couldn't tell where this sense of accomplishment came from, she did persuade the girl to divorce quickly. Although there were many people who persuaded her and she was just one of them, she felt a sense of accomplishment that she had contributed.
So Monno asked, "What are those people discussing? Could it be about this divorce?"
The maid shook her head. "I don't think so. It seemed to be talking about a divorce, but it wasn't about this girl. There were so many people and it was so noisy that I couldn't hear clearly."
Monno read on in confusion. The rest were articles submitted by the middle school. There was no mention of divorce at all.
Monno turned the newspaper over and looked at the bottom.
At the bottom of the serialized pages of "The Bad Husband" is the author's words. Usually, Zhong Shu will also share some interesting things with everyone, or what he ate when writing a certain chapter.
But what the author has to say today is not about sharing interesting stories.
"I want to share some news with everyone. Last month, when I received your letters, I saw a woman asking whether to divorce. I also quietly went to the fan club to read everyone's messages about this matter. Your messages gave me a lot of strength, so I have discussed the possibility of divorce with my husband."
Monroe: What?!
Lady Shuhua is actually asking for a divorce? Damn it! Lady Shuhua is such a gentle person, and yet she chooses to divorce! She must have been bullied.
Meng Nuo didn't even bother to read the latest update anymore and immediately wanted to put on her clothes.
"I want to see the Princess of Anping County!"
