For every hungry person outside the south gate, there will be one less place waiting for relief on the government's food relief list.
Cheng Dongqing fled to the county town with her sick father and survived for several days on gruel from the soup kitchen shack. In exchange for the opportunity to diagnose her father's illness, she volunteered to be the temporary note-taker in the shed.
She was originally only responsible for recording the names and place of origin of those receiving porridge, but gradually she discovered that most of the hungry people in the "Porridge Distribution Card Book" came from villages where the government announced that "food relief has been completed."
The official record said that the food had arrived.
But the living person chased a bowl of porridge and fled outside the city gate.
Cheng Dongqing followed these names and found a book that was originally designed to prevent false claims, and finally opened up the three-county food embezzlement case and sent her from the porridge shed to the imperial court.
The end where the relief food disappeared was the branch of the first family.
Wen Zhao has been in charge of the family for many years in the name of his father and brother. Her decision was written down in countless official documents, but her name was never on them.
Cheng Dongqing needs to follow the accounts to find out the truth, and she must decide who to protect and who to abandon before the case implicates her family.
One who believes that the truth is enough to change the world, and one who knows that the truth without power to protect it will only kill people.
They blocked each other and took advantage of each other, but in the end they became the most dangerous accomplices in the court.
The emperor gave Cheng Dongqing an official position in an unusual way because he wanted to get a sword that did not belong to the aristocratic family; the aristocratic family allowed women to enter the official career because they wanted to occupy this newly opened road in advance.
But what they are fighting for is never the grace given by someone in authority.
They want the names, salaries, and powers of women all over the world to be written down in the official register, and they can no longer be erased by anyone at will.
Purpose: Use systems to protect truth, and use rules to open up career paths for women.
