Rise From the Humble

Zhang Guanku, Jia Langzhong and Zhao Langzhong came to Taicang Gaocang, talking and laughing together at the right time.

Yesterday afternoon after Zhu Pingan left, they went to Zhu Pingan's audit room to look through it carefully. Then they found that the audit results of Zhu Pingan, the toad inspector, only included more than the picture of a toad squatting on a lotus leaf at noon yesterday. It was just a piece of blank rice paper with the four characters "A", "B", "C" and "D" written on it.

Therefore, they went to Jinfeng Tower for a relaxing night last night, and had breakfast at Jinfeng Tower this morning before returning to Taicang leisurely.

After returning to Taicang, Zhang Guanku and others were told that Zhu Ping'an had come to Taicang early this morning. Zhang Guanku and others did not take it seriously. He came early, so he drew a toad and wrote A, B, C and D. It doesn't matter whether it's sooner or later.

"What's going on? Why are people from Dongchang here too?"

But when they learned that people from Dongchang had also stationed in Taicang and were on duty at the courtyard where Zhu Ping'an checked accounts, Zhang Guanku and others immediately couldn't sit still.

The group of people hurried to the yard where Zhu Pingan was checking accounts.

"Stop whoever comes!"

As soon as Zhang Guanku and others walked outside the courtyard where Zhu Pingan checked the accounts, they were stopped expressionlessly before they reached the room where Zhu Pingan checked the accounts.

"Don't you know us? We are officials from Taicang. Let's see how Mr. Zhu's account is going." Zhao Langzhong stepped forward.

"Stop!!"

Dongchang Fanzi, who was standing in front of them, said coldly again, and reached out to pull out a section of his waist knife. A section of the blade reflected a dazzling light.

When Doctor Zhao heard this, he was immediately furious. He is a high-ranking doctor, but he was scolded by a low-ranking Dongchang fan. You are so damn ambitious!

It was bearable, but it was unbearable. Seeing that Zhao Langzhong was about to explode, Jia Langzhong reached out to hold him back in time.

"Haha. This is really a flood that has washed away the Dragon King Temple. This officer, this is our Zhang Guankuo in Taicang. We are also officials in Taicang. Please allow me to come in and pay a visit to your superior."

After Jia Langzhong stopped Zhao Langzhong, he stepped forward with a smile and introduced himself to Dongchang Fanzi who was blocking the way. He held a red envelope in his backhand and stuffed it to Dongchang Fanzi who was blocking the way without leaving any trace.

What Jia Langzhong calls a secretary is different from our modern officials. It is a name given to Dongchang fanzi.

The highest officer of Dongchang is called the factory official, the governor, and the factory supervisor. Generally, he is the director of the ceremonial supervisor and the eunuch unit. The full name is "Imperial Commissioner Dongchang Official School Service Eunuch", and he is referred to as the Admiral Dongchang. There are more than 40 supervisors, foremen, and room clerks under the factory, divided into twelve zodiac signs. Next down are the sergeants and sergeants who are responsible for detective work. The sergeant is equivalent to the captain, and is also called "stall head." "There are more than a hundred people in total, and there are twelve Chou Yin Mao. The stall head leads several fan servants, who are the lowest-level personnel in the East Factory. They are called "fans" and are also known as "stewards".

"This is a humble duty and I am on duty. Except for the Taicang bank inspector and his team, no one else is allowed to come near." Dongchang Fanzi, who was on duty, glanced at Jia Langzhong, pressed his waist knife with one hand, and turned a blind eye to the red envelope handed over by Jia Langzhong. He said expressionlessly, with no intention of being accommodating at all.

Jia Langzhong's hand that handed over the red envelope was frozen there. He laughed a few times and took it back.

"Excuse me, please invite your Shangguan here. I am an old friend of Liu Qianhu of Dongchang. Maybe your Shangguan knows me too."

Zhang Guanku, who had been silent until now, took a step forward and said, with the air of a superior in his voice.

As soon as Zhang Guanku finished speaking, Zhang Guyi, a householder in Dongchang, walked out slowly from the yard before he could hear the news. The black cloak behind him moved automatically without wind, and the long sword in the scarlet scabbard on the left side of his waist was hanging. The crotch does not sway at all, as if it is fixed at the waist.

Zhang Guanku and Jia Langzhong caught a glimpse of Zhang Guyi from a distance, their faces paled, and they secretly cursed Dongchang for sending this person.

"Huh? Who is this little lady with a sword?"

Zhao Langzhong glanced at Zhang Baihu, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he couldn't help but whisper to Jia Langzhong.

"Damn it, you're seeking death, that's the Dongchang Blood-Drying Sword!"

When Jia Langzhong heard this, his expression changed drastically, as if he had seen a savage beast. He immediately reached out and pressed Zhao Langzhong's mouth, wishing he could sew Zhao Langzhong's mouth shut immediately with a needle and thread.

Upon hearing this, Langzhong Zhao's face suddenly turned pale, and he couldn't help but take a step back... Fortunately, not bad, the distance is still far, so he probably can't hear... Zhao Langzhong comforted himself in his heart.

Zhang Guyi, the blood-dropping sword, glanced at Zhao Langzhong from a distance and smiled softly, as if he had ears for the wind.

This smile frightened Doctor Zhao so much that his anus tightened. Cold sweat broke out on his back and he almost became incontinent.

The Blood-Drying Sword Zhang Guyi is one of the most famous executioners in Dongchang. The name of the Blood-Drying Sword is the murderous name he earned with the sword in his hand. The so-called Blood-Drying Sword refers to Zhang Guyi’s sword. The sheath must bleed, without exception.

Zhang Guyi had "three no's" when killing people. The so-called "three no's" are not the three no's to kill, but killing without distinction between good or bad, regardless of status, regardless of gender, age or child... The dignitaries who died under him did not One hundred is already eighty.

The bloody sword is famous in Dongchang for its vicious reputation. He has superb killing skills. It is said that he can peel off a complete human skin. It is said that he can kill a prisoner beyond 3,600 to 3,800, and the prisoner is still breathing. …

Eight years ago, during the Renyin Palace Incident, the palace maid Yang Jinying and others attempted to murder Emperor Jiajing, but were arrested. Yang Jinying, Yang Lianxiang and other sixteen palace maids were all executed without distinction between the culprits and accomplices. Among them, the person responsible for the execution of the first criminal Yang Jinying was the young Blood-Drying Sword...

There are also rumors that Concubine Cao Duan and Concubine Wang Ning, the favored concubines at the time who were implicated in the Renyin Palace Incident, were also executed by Ling Chi after the Blood-Drying Sword was announced to the palace by Empress Fang. However, this is a matter of the palace after all and is a secret. , it is based on rumors and cannot be confirmed.

But no matter what, the evil name of the Blood-Drying Sword is real. In the capital, these three words of Blood-Drying Sword can stop children from crying at night.

Therefore, the sight of the Blood-Drying Sword made Taicang officials feel frightened and fearful.

"Hahaha, Zhang Gu, a householder in the East Factory of the Zajia family, has met all of you sirs. The Zajia family has been ordered to assist in auditing Taicang's account books. Except for the inspectors, no outsiders are allowed to get close to the account books. I wonder if you, my lords, have any objections to this?" The Blood-Drying Sword Zhang Gu walked closer and asked with a soft smile, his eyes scanning Taicang Guanku Zhang and others one by one.

It's okay that the bleeding sword didn't smile. He smiled softly, and in the eyes of Jia Langzhong and others, he felt more and more panicked.

"No, no, ahem... I just came over to take a look, but is there anything we in Taicang need to cooperate with?"

After hearing this, Jia Langzhong coughed, shook his head repeatedly, and replied with an apologetic smile.
