   [It's finished, you can read it freely] Stay up late to catch up! Historical suspense + Tang Dynasty detective story + Wu Zhou's conspiracy + little guy's counterattack! This "ancient auditor" used an account book to overturn Wu Zetian's court in 72 hours! Too over the top!!! "Luoyang Three Days Book" - a masterpiece that made a ninth-grade official think that the life of the Wu Zhou Dynasty was hanging by a thread! 📖 The story begins with an account book gathering dust: Li Suan, a clerk in the Ministry of Accounts, an ordinary person who only knows how to dial an abacus, accidentally dug out an "Account of the King of Hell". On the surface, there is a gift list from Tan Jingbing, but underneath it lies the murder of a shipwreck, the bloody fingerprints of twenty-seven ministers, and a coup detonated at the Shangyuan Lantern Festival. Wu Zetian is waiting for the truth, Princess Taiping is setting up the chess game, and Lai Junchen's pursuit has arrived outside the door. And he only has 72 hours. Use an abacus to find out from the gaps in the numbers the mastermind who overthrew the dynasty. 🔥 Why does this book make me so excited all night long? ❶ The first new track of "account book solving"! It's not time travel, there's no golden finger, the protagonist relies on professional auditing to break the situation! In the crackling sound of the abacus, there is a murderous intention that is more deadly than the sword. The feeling of smelling blood from boring numbers is amazing! ❷ 72-Hour countdown, the rhythm is so tight that it's suffocating! The closer the Shangyuan Lantern Festival gets, the deeper the conspiracy becomes. Wu Zetian, Princess Taiping, and Lai Junchen are strangled by three forces. Every step is a gamble of life and death. Famous scenes are densely packed, and the visuals are overwhelming. Every chapter is like watching a suspense short drama! ❸ The little people resonate with each other! Li Shuan has no power, only his survival instinct and professional persistence. His fear, struggle, and desperate counterattack are just like every ordinary person who is facing pressure in reality. This narrative of "little people leveraging big history" really makes me cry! 📚 If you are tired of watching mindless time travel and the same old palace battles to cultivate immortality, read this "Luoyang Three Days Book"! The historical research is solid (the first year of Zhengsheng and Tan Jing Bing Jing all have their sources), the suspense is mind-burning online, and the rhythm is so exciting! 👉 The bookshelf has been added, no nonsense, just rush!

   In the first book, Xie Chunxiao, the daughter of a police officer from Shanshui County, is actually a senior soul-piercing trace inspector. She has four-color vision and can detect traces invisible to ordinary people, and is regarded as a "ghost eye" genius. Wei Qinghan, the commander of the Jin Yiwei, wanted to recruit her, but he gradually fell in love with her, and a year later he transformed into a clingy husband who begged for more money. In the second book, a useless trainee lawyer plays the role of a pig and eats the tiger in the ancient Ministry of Criminal Justice. He gradually becomes a big boss by solving cases based on reasoning. He lives an ordinary life with a little emotional interaction. There is no golden finger or a sense of pleasure. In the third book, Zhang Ruxi travels through ancient times to become a gangster, gets involved in a murder case, and relies on the detective system to save himself. The woman disguised herself as a man and escaped. She solved the case with her system skills and was rewarded. Later, she became the Qingtian Grand Master and also investigated the ogre case. In the fourth book, a talented portrait artist travels through time and becomes an orphan girl of the Su family, equipped with a storage system.
