65 Luoyang Three-Day Book Great Sage Duo DuoHistorical511k WordsCompleted 283Reads—Score—Shelves
Reader note
An account book lit up Chang'an Night and changed the ending of the prosperous Tang Dynasty in 72 hours! Every number on the ledger was dripping with blood. Li Suan, a ninth-grade official, ran his trembling fingers across the disguised entries of "Tan Jing" and "Bing Jing". He knew that what he was opening was not an account book, but the darkest conspiracy heart of the Wuzhou Dynasty. The account book titled "Luoyang Three Days Book" lay quietly in a dusty corner of the household department. When Li Suan, a ninth-level official who only knew how to calculate accounts, opened it, the gears of destiny of Luoyang, the capital of the gods, began to turn crazily. The seemingly ordinary numbers of "Tan Jing" and "Bing Jing" on the account books are actually accounts of the King of Hell that are enough to make the entire Wu Zhou court shed blood. Three days before the Lantern Festival in the first year of Zhengsheng, this tiny figure became a key fulcrum that stirred up history. --- 01 Original track Can the accounting book review subvert the dynasty? "Luoyang Three Days Book" gives the most shocking answer. In this novel, the crackle of abacus beads is more deadly than a sword, and audit reports become the most accurate killing weapons. While the protagonists in other novels are still practicing and upgrading, the protagonist in this book, Li Shuan, is using an abacus and absolute sensitivity to numbers to solve murder cases and detect corruption networks in piles of account books. Audit reports have become the deadliest weapon. This is not a time traveler using modern knowledge to reduce dimensions, but a local little guy using his expertise to survive under extreme pressure. 02 Historical Puzzle The background of the story is set in Wu Zetian's first year of becoming a saint, and every detail can withstand scrutiny. The sinking of the water transport ship was not an accident, and the respect of charcoal and ice was not etiquette. The bloody fingerprints of twenty-seven ministers lay quietly on the last page of the ledger. The author uses solid details to construct a realistic and tangible Wuzhou Dynasty. The atmosphere of the prosperous Tang Dynasty is intertwined with the undercurrents. Readers can not only immerse themselves in the historical atmosphere, but also enjoy the fun of solving puzzles. Wu Zetian is waiting for the truth, Princess Taiping is setting up a chess game, and Lai Junchen's pursuit is already outside the door. 03 Countdown to Life and Death The whole book closely follows the countdown of "72 hours before the Lantern Festival", and the rhythm is as tight as a drum beat. From discovering the account books to being chased by cruel officials, to the final showdown at the lantern festival, the whole process is high-energy and without any flaws. This sense of tension makes "Luoyang Three Days Book" naturally have the potential to become a hit. Each chapter is a heart-racing experience, and readers feel as if they are personally participating in this life-and-death gamble that determines the fate of the dynasty. The narrative method with a strong visual sense makes the "famous scenes" in the novel very easy for readers to spontaneously generate discussions and secondary creations. 04 Resonance with Little People The protagonist Li Suan has no system or powers, only an abacus and survival instinct. His fear, struggle and wisdom in desperate situations can make every ordinary person who faces pressure in reality find a strong sense of empathy. This narrative of "little people leveraging big history" is the most empathetic theme at the moment. Readers can not only see their own reflection in Li Suan, but also experience the ultimate satisfaction of using professional knowledge to change the world through his perspective. Behind the numbers is human life, and the fortune is determined by the arithmetic beads. When the fate of an entire dynasty hangs on the ledger of a ninth-grade clerk, what will you do? --- The numbers on the account book are still beating, like the restless heartbeat of Luoyang, the capital of the gods. Wu Zetian is waiting for the truth, Princess Taiping is setting up the chess game, and the cruel official Lai Junchen is chasing her outside the door. The abacus in the hands of this little man will determine whether the gods will illuminate the prosperous world or be burned in the fire. The moment you open the "Luoyang Three Days Book", you become a witness to this financial audit subversion of history. The accounts are not fair, and people's lives are at risk; the numbers are like a knife, and they have been placed at the throat of the Wuzhou Dynasty.

1. "Six Doors' Hilarious Daily Life" - When a shady detective encounters a series of mysterious cases. Lu Xiaodao, a new detective from the Six Doors in the capital, relies on "fallacious theories" to solve the case! In a bizarre poisoning case of a courtesan in a brothel, he actually smelled the smell of arsenic from the rouge box; in the massacre of the Shang Shu Mansion, he relied on the barking of the dog from the bun shop next door to identify the real culprit. All actors and actresses are online: The senior sister who disguises herself as a man is addicted to bad anatomy jokes, and the chief catcher practices the "room escape" skill in order to hide private money. The more bizarre the case, the more hilarious the daily life, but after the layers of twists and turns, a conspiracy from the previous government was actually involved... Laughing till the end, and the truth is as sharp as a knife! 2. "Nine Uncles: Tongtianlu!" Who taught him to draw talismans like this? - A life-and-death game of talismans and conspiracy. Lin Fei, a disciple of Maoshan, possesses the Eight Magic Skills "Tongtian Lu". He can draw talismans like splashing ink, and he relies on "scientific metaphysics" to solve crimes! In the case of a series of zombie attacks in Renjia Town, he held up hundreds of corpse-suppressing charms and plastered them on the wall, but Uncle Jiu scolded him as a "prodigal"; in the case of the theft of dragon veins in the palace, he actually used the tracking charm to lock the thousand-year-old corpse king in the golden coffin, but this involved a shocking conspiracy of the remnants of the previous dynasty to be resurrected by using the dragon's energy. Villain evil cultivator: "You don't follow the basic rules for drawing talismans!" Lin Fei sneered: "Who is a good person who uses cinnabar? I call this fire coverage!" One person laughed so hard that he punched the wall, and the other person shuddered with joy! From the nonsensical reasoning of Six Doors to the hard-core breakthrough of Maoshan Talisman, the two works use completely different styles to blend suspense and humor, Taoism and power. If you love the spooky and passionate "Chronicles of the Song Dynasty", or you are obsessed with the imaginative twists of "Detective Chinatown", this ancient detective feast will definitely make you want to stop!
