Chapter 723 Danger

With modern knowledge and wisdom, he emerged in the government. He proposed some new governance methods, helped the county magistrate solve many problems, and was loved and respected by the people. However, the peaceful life did not last long. The country was facing a huge crisis. A powerful neighboring country in the north was gathering troops to prepare for invasion. In order to deal with the war, the court began to recruit soldiers and grain in various places. The county where Wang Haotian was located was not spared. The people were overwhelmed by the heavy taxes and conscription tasks and complained one after another. Wang Haotian saw that the people were living in poverty and felt very sorry. He decided to make some suggestions to the county magistrate to reduce the burden on the people. Although the county magistrate felt that Wang Haotian's suggestions made sense, he was worried that he could not complete the tasks assigned by the court. Wang Haotian assured the county magistrate that he had a way to complete the court's tasks and reduce the burden on the people. So Wang Haotian began to act. He used his modern business knowledge to organize some businessmen in the county and carry out some new business activities. Through these activities, the county's fiscal revenue was increased, and some new employment opportunities were also provided for the people. In terms of conscription, Wang Haotian proposed some incentives. He suggested that the county magistrate give certain rewards to the soldiers who joined the army, and promised to provide them with some land and living security after the war. These measures greatly increased the enthusiasm of the people to join the army. Thanks to Wang Haotian's efforts, the county successfully completed the conscription and grain collection tasks issued by the court, and the lives of the people were not greatly affected. However, the war broke out. The neighboring countries' armies poured in like a tide, and the court's army retreated step by step.

The county where Wang Haotian was located was also in danger of being breached by the enemy. The county magistrate decided to organize the people and soldiers in the county to resist the enemy together. Wang Haotian actively participated in the defense work. He used the military knowledge he learned in modern times to help the county magistrate formulate a series of defense strategies. In the war, Wang Haotian performed very bravely. He led a part of the soldiers and repelled the enemy's attacks many times. However, the enemy's forces were too strong, and loopholes gradually appeared in the county's defense. Just when the county was about to be breached, Wang Haotian suddenly thought of a way. He knew that there were some valleys and woods around the county, and he could use these terrains to set up some traps and ambushes. He told the county magistrate his idea, and the county magistrate thought this method was feasible. So Wang Haotian led some soldiers to set up a large number of traps and ambushes in the valleys and woods. When the enemy attacked again, they entered the trap area set by Wang Haotian. For a time, the enemy was in chaos, and Wang Haotian led the soldiers to take the opportunity to attack. After a fierce battle, the enemy was finally repelled. The people in the county cheered and were full of gratitude and admiration for Wang Haotian. This victory made Wang Haotian's status in the hearts of the people even higher. After the war, the court appreciated Wang Haotian's performance very much. The emperor ordered Wang Haotian to be recruited into the capital, granted him an official position, and asked him to make suggestions for the development of the country. Wang Haotian came to the capital and began his new journey in the court. In the capital, he met all kinds of people, including loyal and upright ministers and insidious and cunning villains. He carefully maneuvered in the court, using his wisdom and talents to make many contributions to the prosperity and stability of the country. However, as time went by, Wang Haotian began to miss modern life. He missed his family and friends, and missed the convenience and comfort of modern society. He gradually had an idea in his mind that he wanted to return to the modern world. So Wang Haotian began to look for ways to return to the modern world. He consulted a large number of ancient books and visited many scholars and Taoists, hoping to find clues to travel back. After a long period of hard work, Wang Haotian finally found a possible way to return to the modern world. It is said that in a mysterious cave, there is a magical stone. As long as this stone is placed together with the ancient books that he touched when he traveled through time, it is possible to open a passage through time and space. Wang Haotian decided to find this mysterious cave. He said goodbye to the emperor and his friends and embarked on a journey to find the cave. Along the way, he experienced countless hardships and obstacles, crossed mountains and rivers, and finally found the mysterious cave. In the cave, Wang Haotian found the magical stone. With excitement, he put the stone and the ancient books together. Suddenly, a strong light flashed, and Wang Haotian felt that his body was pulled by a powerful force. He blacked out and lost consciousness. When Wang Haotian woke up again, he found himself back in the library. He looked at the familiar environment around him, and his heart was filled with emotion. He knew that he had finally returned to the modern era. Although life in ancient times was full of thrills and excitement, Wang Haotian still felt that modern life was more suitable for him. He buried this experience of traveling through time deeply in his heart and began his new university life. In the days that followed, Wang Haotian would occasionally think of the bits and pieces of his time in ancient times. He would think of the soldiers who fought alongside him, the simple and kind people, and that era full of challenges and opportunities. He knew that this time-travel experience would become the most precious treasure in his life.

Dream of Spring in Jinyuan

In the Great Chu Dynasty, the Jinyuan where the Sheng family lived was a place with pavilions and towers scattered in an orderly manner, and the carved beams and painted buildings showed the atmosphere of wealth. The master of the Sheng family, Sheng Weide, was a fourth-rank official in the Ministry of Rites. Although he was not an important figure in the court, he was also somewhat respectable in the capital. There was one wife and three concubines in the family, and many children. The days in the mansion seemed peaceful, but in fact, there were undercurrents. Zhou, the mistress of the Sheng family, was born in a famous family, dignified and generous. She was in charge of all matters in the family and had absolute say in the mansion. Sun, the second wife, was originally the cousin of the master Sheng. After marrying into the Sheng family, she always wanted to fight for a place in the mansion.

Chen Yu recalled his experience of hunting in the mountains and forests and decided to start with some subtle clues. He carefully recalled every detail of the discovery of the body and suddenly remembered that although the clothes on the deceased were gorgeous, there was an inconspicuous patch at the corner of the clothes.

So they began to look for someone in the capital who knew this unique acupuncture technique.

The stitching method of this patch is very unique, and it doesn't seem to be done by ordinary people. Chen Yu told Su Yao and Zhou Meng about this discovery. Su Yao's eyes lit up, and she thought this patch might be an important clue.
