Lin Zhou, a first-class Jinshi, offended the powerful by telling the truth in the imperial examination, and was demoted to be the magistrate of the poorest county in Dasheng.
On the first day he took office, the county magistrate ignored him and the guards ignored him and even took away the keys to the account books. He became a loner in the entire county government.
Until he opened an old account book - on the paper, four lines of poetry slowly emerged.
From then on, every piece of evidence, every person involved, and every scene he encountered would be condensed into a prophetic poem. Poetry only gives riddles, not answers.
"I crossed the river at night with three hundred stones of grain and came back to the barn without hearing any songs."
Lin Zhou figured out at a glance: the disaster relief food had been stolen.
Others pretended to be confused according to official rules, but he investigated the matter according to poetry. Others advised him that "this case should not be touched", so he backhandedly sent the county magistrate to jail and was promoted along the way.
But when he searched the deepest part, he saw that behind the word "turn" in the account, there was a name that had been erased - the word "Liu".
It turns out that this line leads from the poor county all the way to the deepest network in the capital.
If the accounts are reconciled, the world will be at peace? No. Behind the accounts are people.
