Cough, cough, cough... Ling Xin'an felt as if she had died once before. Her chest was pressed down by tens of thousands of mountains, but her belly was so bulging that it was about to burst. At the same time, a biting coldness came from her body, which hurt her soul. Her mouth opened involuntarily, desperately

The inhalation was too rapid, causing uncontrollable vomiting from the throat, and water kept coming out of the nostrils and mouth.

In the back of my mind, I was still replaying intermittently the panic and screams before my consciousness disappeared, as well as the scene of the bus falling into the water.

A series of surprised and panicked shouts came to my ears in a daze.

"My lord, wake up!"

"grown ups……"

Immediately afterwards, a powerful force came from his abdomen, and a water arrow shot straight into the sky from his mouth. His chest suddenly felt relaxed and smooth, and Ling Xin'an rolled his eyes and passed out.

When I opened my eyes again, what I saw was a light yellow gauze curtain, and the surroundings were quiet. I looked down and saw a thin silk quilt covering my body, which was delicate and smooth to the touch.

Lifting the quilt, Ling Xin'an realized that she was wearing a piece of clothes that looked like Hanfu, a linen undress. When she got out of bed, she saw that the room was antique, and the faint musk smell was inhaled into her heart and lungs. There were still bursts of dull pain in her chest. Ling Xin'an sighed slightly.

Frowning, he walked to the door and gently opened it.

Then another surprise came from my ears: "Sir, are you awake?"

Following the voice, I saw a girl about sixteen or seventeen years old, looking at me with surprise, her dark eyes filled with uncontrollable joy. Looking at me, the girl hurriedly bent down and saluted: "Slave.

See your lord."

Ling Xin'an's face was full of doubts, and just as she was about to speak, she suddenly felt a sharp pain in her mind, rolled her eyes, and passed out again.

…

A few days passed by.

Ling Xin'an finally confirmed that she had really traveled through time, not as a soul, but as a person, completely different from any dynasty she knew. She learned from the maid that that day, she and her subordinates went out on horseback, and encountered an encounter on the way.

The mob ambushed, and the government patrol officer fought with the mob to protect himself. During the melee, the war horse was frightened, and he fell into the river in panic. Ling Xin'an, who was not good at swimming, sank to the bottom of the river with a few plops, waiting for the patrol officers to kill the mob.

As soon as it was passed, the rest immediately fled when they saw this. The patrolmen realized that their master was not on the horse, and then looked around. They saw the shoes by the river and realized that they had fallen into the water. The soldiers who were good at diving immediately jumped into the river and found them at the bottom of the river.

I had been drowning for a long time and was kicking my feet with only one breath left.

During the period of recuperation, I talked with the maid and learned that the name of Master Ling in their mouth was Ling Zhian. He was only one character different from me, and his appearance was very similar. Ling Xin'an also asked insinuatingly, that day he only saved

Do you want to remember yourself? The maid said that the only people who fell into the water that day were adults and no one else. After hearing this, Ling Xin'an couldn't help praying for the person named Ling Zhian, hoping that he was still alive. At the same time, Ling Xin'an discovered that after time travel, her body

He is a full ten years younger, more like himself when he just entered college, when he was only in his twenties. Little did he know that in another time and space, he was already thirty.

…

After repeatedly confirming that it was not a dream, Ling Xin'an began to accept the fact that just like his name - Xin'an is his hometown.

Now he is a small county magistrate in Jiangzhou County, which is under the jurisdiction of the Qingzhou Prefecture of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Ling Xin'an also laments the Great Zhou Dynasty.

This Great Zhou Dynasty was similar to the Great Qin Empire that he knew. Now it was only the second generation, but the capital was captured by powerful enemies from all around. The emperor retreated to a corner, and most of the country was surrendered to the powerful enemies.

It is said that on the day when the capital city of Chaoge was destroyed, almost all the people and officials in the city were slaughtered, and the fire burned for more than half a month. The emperor fled in embarrassment and was hunted down all the way. It was not until a year later that he stabilized the army in Bianzhou, and now most of the country has been conquered.

Everything has fallen into the enemy's pocket, and he bears the infamy of losing the world.

Ling Xin'an learned from books that the Zhou Dynasty was founded by Emperor Taizu Wu, but fell to this point in just over three hundred years. Thirty years after his death, the seven kings rebelled, and the emperor tried to pacify the seven kings.

It was almost exhausted. At this moment, the five barbarians peeping on one side sent troops to attack the Zhou Dynasty at the same time. Under the internal and external troubles, Chaoge City was destroyed, the Zhou Dynasty was almost destroyed, and hundreds of millions of people fell into the flames of war that would never be restored, resulting in

All lives are in ruins, and nine out of ten rooms are empty.

The emperor had no choice but to hide in a corner, going crazy and trying to regain his power. He stayed in hiding for more than fifty years.

This period of humiliating history was called the Seven Kings Rebellion and the Five Barbarians Rebellion in the Zhou Dynasty.

…

Ling Xin'an sighed. After more than half a month of conditioning, her body had recovered as before, but she still felt weak and didn't have much strength.

Think about it, I am also a mortal, working from 9 to 5, facing the computer and mobile phone every day, writing never-ending ppt, staying up late and eating late at night. How good can such a physique be? After a trip to hell,

If you want to go back to before, you still need to adjust.

It's another new day.

"Sir, are you going to court today?" Maid Shuang'er asked while helping Ling Xin'an wash up.

"Well, I heard that the mob that attacked me was caught?" Ling Xin'an said.

"Yes, sir, Capt. Guo captured all the prisoners seven days ago and is waiting for your arrest, sir."

"Okay, let's interrogate them today."

"Sir, are you talking about us?" Shuang'er was startled when he heard this and couldn't believe it: "Sir, you are joking. How can it be our turn to interfere in such important family and country matters?"

Shuang'er hurriedly said, but he was confused in his heart: since the adult woke up after drowning, his speech and behavior were completely different, just like others.

But she just muttered in her heart.

Ling Xin'an smiled slightly, knowing that she wasn't used to it yet and didn't want to explain, but she didn't know that the person in front of her now was a completely different person.

"By the way, sir, Capt. Guo said that after rescuing you, your clothes had been washed away by the water, leaving only your inner pocket, but it seems that the slaves have never seen you wear such an inner pocket before."

Shuang'er said casually.

"This is what I wore temporarily that day. It wouldn't be surprising if you haven't seen it before." Ling Xin'an said casually. Those were the clothes he wore when riding in the car that day. Shuang'er had never seen them before.

Breakfast was very simple, a bowl of thick rice porridge with unknown pickles. After casually eating two bowls, Ling Xin'an headed towards the front yard.

The government offices of the Great Zhou Dynasty had three courtyards. The front courtyard was for the government offices, the middle courtyard was for the maids, the area where the police officers and servants were stationed, and the back yard was the area where the courtiers lived. All the officials were similar, except for the number of side courtyards and the three courtyards.

Courtyards vary in size

Sitting on the desk, nearly twenty people were kneeling below. They were unkempt, ragged, skinny, with scars on their faces and feet. They stared at Ling Xin'an with fierce, hateful or fearful eyes.

"Sir, all of the murderers who attacked you and almost killed you that day have been captured except for those who have been executed. I ask you to punish me," said the head catcher Guo Song, clenching his fists.

Looking at the people kneeling below, Ling Xin'an sighed slightly and said to the standing man with a mustache on the side: "Master Duan, why did you attack me... Did you attack me?"

During the period of recuperation, Ling Xin'an had already met and learned about the names, positions and appearances of all the people in the government through the maids, so she told them as soon as she opened her mouth.

Duan's name is Duan Qing, a local surname. He has been working as a bookkeeper here for more than ten years.

"Your Excellency, I have found out that someone is inciting the mob and spreading rumors that Your Excellency has embezzled the grain and distributed it unfairly, so I want to kill You."

"Have you found out who ordered it?"

"That's Wang Er in front of you." It was Guo Song who answered, pointing to the fierce man kneeling in front.

Ling Xin'an looked around and saw his fierce eyes staring at her.

"Prisoner Wang Er, I went to supervise the distribution of spring grain crops that day. Why do you think that I am lining my own pockets and ignoring the people?" Ling Xin'an said at the end with anger.

"Hmph, Dog Officer, you are not going to die well. You talk so much about benevolence, justice and morality that I want to kill you. You are in all the villages. Why don't the forty-three households in my Wangjia Village have a single seed? Since the law of heaven is rioting and the officials do not care about the people, then

Kill officials and sacrifice to heaven." Wang Er said angrily.

Ling Xin'an frowned slightly and pondered: "Master Duan, why is there no grain distribution in Wangjia Village this year?"

"Back to your lord, Wangjia Village blatantly refused to pay for grain last year. Later, Dou went to collect it and took it back. As punishment, there is no grain for them to grow this year."

At this time, a dark, stocky man over forty years old came out and said, "Yes, sir, this is indeed the case."

Ling Xin'an looked around and saw that this person was Dou Kai, the government's second arrester.

"So you hold a grudge and murder me?" Ling Xin'an couldn't help but be surprised.

"Bah!" Wang Er raised his head, opened his mouth, and a mouthful of phlegm fell to the ground.

"Look for a fight!" At this time, the two detectives immediately slapped Wang Er, who soon had blood all over his mouth.

Until Ling Xin'an shouted to stop.

At this time, Wang Er's cheeks were swollen, his mouth was full of blood, and there were several broken teeth on the ground.

"Dog... officer..." he cursed.

"Who are the accomplices?" Looking at Wang Er, Ling Xin'an asked again.

"There are twenty-one people including Wang Er's cousin Wang Dagou and others." Duan Qing said.

"Wang Dagou, I want to ask you, if I distribute grain to you now, will you be able to keep your integrity and grow grain, and take the initiative to hand over the grain after the autumn harvest?" Ling Xin'an suddenly said.

There was suddenly silence in the courtroom, and everyone looked at Ling Xin'an on the public stage with expressions of disbelief.

When a middle-aged man next to Wang Er heard this, he immediately nodded and said: "Sir, if we can grow grain, we can help Wangjia Village survive this lean spring, and we will be able to turn in the grain after the autumn harvest."

"How can I trust you?" Ling Xin'an stared at Wang Dagou and asked.

Wang Dagou was stunned for a moment, then kowtowed quickly and cried: "Sir, we really have no choice, otherwise the common people would not dare to resist the imperial court, and they would not be able to live anymore! Wangjia Village has eaten everything that can be eaten, and it is almost to the point of cannibalism. We

We wanted to go to other villages to borrow food, but all the village entrances were guarded by local strong men and we couldn't get in. We had no choice!"

"Sir, please spare your life, we really have no choice!" Crying and begging for mercy suddenly sounded from behind.

"Quiet!" A loud shout came from Dou Kai, completely shocking the prisoners below and scaring them into silence.

"Sir, in these troubled times, these mobs must be killed!" Dou Kai said.

Ling Xin'an glanced at him and said nothing, but stared at Wang Dagou.

"Wang Dagou, I'm still saying the same thing, how can I trust you?"
