The social animal sank the boat and became a cannon fodder in the ancient Machiavellian novel who could not survive more than three chapters. Good news: He is a Beijing official, has no worries about food and clothing, and is in the Imperial Academy. Bad news: In the beginning, because of his bad mouth, he completely offended the male protagonist in the book who is ruthless and vengeful - His Highness the Prince of Jin. According to the original plot, three days later he would be charged with an "unfounded" crime and dragged to Caishikou. Shen Zhou: "..." Help! He doesn't want to die yet! In order to survive, he decided to keep his tail between his legs and stay eight hundred meters away from all the main characters in the plot. He tried to be a transparent officialdom until he retired. But who knows, according to an imperial decree, he was sent to assist the King of Jin in thoroughly investigating the water transportation corruption case. Shen Zhou: (╯°□°)╯ ┻━┻ Aren't you sending me to the Palace of Hell?! Facing the murderous King Jin and the entangled corrupt officials, Shen Zhou tremblingly used his housekeeping skills. Can't sort out the relationships between characters? He spent the whole night drawing a relationship diagram, from interest entanglements to in-law relationships, which was clear at a glance. The accounts were complicated and there was no way to find a breakthrough? He used modern accounting methods to create a table model, and there were no holes to hide. Afraid of explaining the work to the emperor? He used a few feet of rice paper to draw a visual diagram (ancient version of PPT), which was clear and logical from the source of the problem to the solution. Gradually, the way King Jin looked at him changed. From "Why is this guy not dead?" To "It seems like he can't do it without him." Shen Zhou just wanted to save his life.
