I'm the best catcher in martial arts

As the red sun rose, Shen Lian began his morning exercises.

As the saying goes, the music never leaves the mouth and the fists never leave the hands. Practice Sanjiu in the winter and Sanfu in the summer. If you want to learn amazing skills, you must work hard. Deep skills will produce skilled craftsmen, and hard work will produce real skills.

Ever since he came into contact with martial arts, Shen Lian has never slept for more than half a day. He gets up on time every day and stands in front of the rising sun to practice martial arts, no matter how windy or rainy he is, he never slacks off.

You can never slack off in body training.

If you don't practice for one day, you will know it. If you don't practice for three days, your opponent will know it. If you don't practice for ten days, the king of hell will know it.

Exercise is very boring.

No matter what state you are in, no matter how profound the mental method is, it is all about transporting qi and blood, tempering the muscles and bones, from the skin to the internal organs, and from the blood to the bone marrow.

From the outside to the inside, from the inside to the outside, the heart and the mind are combined, the mind and the qi are combined, the qi and the force are combined, the body is used to cultivate qi, the qi is used to nourish the soul, the soul is used to nourish qi, and the qi is used to refine the body...

The name of the mental method that Guo Bujing taught Shen Lian could be described as extremely earthy, called "Physique Tempering Technique". The language is concise, the words are precise, and the skills are pure and pure.

Just like a snail climbing a vine, although every step is very boring, every time you practice, you can feel your progress and you are one step closer to the vine.

This kind of mentality may not be suitable for those peerless geniuses with extraordinary talents, but it is very suitable for Shen Lian.

Shen Lian was bathing in the sunshine, constantly making various movements to move Qi and blood and temper his muscles and bones.

The reason for being so leisurely is firstly because Shen Lian is used to morning exercises, and secondly because Shen Lian has no official duties.

The Jingxiang martial arts community suffered heavy losses. Many sect leaders died in the melee. The disciples competed for positions. If not handled properly, the people of Jingxiang could easily be accidentally injured.

Of course, Shen Yumen is responsible for this matter. If he wants to control the Jingxiang Wulin, this is what Shen Yumen must do.

If you can't do it well, you can only get out of business.

Jingzhou's officialdom has suffered heavy losses, and there are spies from various major forces stirring up trouble. If you are not careful, you will inevitably stir up trouble and cause trouble that will last for ten years.

Of course, Lu Jianxing is responsible for this matter. If he wants to continue to be promoted to an official position, this is what Lu Jianxing must do.

If you can't do it well, just feel free to be the governor.

As for Shen Lian?

If there is no shortage of money and no need for promotion, then it is natural for him to not be in his position and not to pursue political affairs. He stayed up late last night to finish writing the two memorials and completed all Shen Lian's official duties.

It’s so relaxing!

Shen Lian finished his morning exercise and planned to go to the government office to show off in front of his two brothers. Before he could finish stretching, he saw Lu Jianxing coming over seriously.

"Second brother, something happened."

"What's going on? Could it be that in addition to the Qinglong Society, the Power Gang and the Destiny Sect, there are other forces that have emerged?"

Lu Jianxing said with a bitter face: "I hope that a few big forces will emerge, so that I can get more credit, but it's a pity that God doesn't give me a chance!"

Shen Lian asked curiously: "What happened?"

Lu Jianxing said: "All the money in the Jingzhou government office has been emptied out. All the taxes from the first half of the year in Jingzhou were stored in the warehouse, and now they are all gone."

Shen Lian: (⊙_⊙)?

"Check the accounts. I think there must be something wrong with Jingzhou's account books. Only now do I understand why Ling Tuisi faked his death and escaped. It's impossible to leave."

Lu Jianxing nodded: "If Ling Tuisi did this, according to His Majesty's temper, there will be an extra straw man in the Jingzhou government office, which will really give him an advantage!"

"Any clues?"

"There is a secret passage under the warehouse, which leads to the back mountain of Ghost Stone and the thoroughfare of the nine provinces of Jingxiang. As long as the silver is transported to the ship, no matter how much it is, it can be transported away."

Jingxiang has extremely convenient transportation, both by water and land. With Ling Tuisi, the prefect of Jingzhou personally providing cover, ten treasuries can be emptied easily.

Trying to find clues from the traffic side is like fantasy. If you want to find clues, you should look in the direction of money laundering, which can save a lot of effort.

In this era without a banking system, is money laundering still necessary? Of course it is very much needed.

First of all, the official silver in the treasury is all marked and cannot be spent directly. It needs to be smelted before spending it. It is simply a joke to directly take out an ingot of gold.

Even when showing off wealth, the ingots taken out must be re-smelted and cannot bear any official marks, otherwise they will be immediately traced by the court.

Secondly, it is very difficult to spend such a large sum of money directly, and it is even more difficult to exchange the money for goods such as silk, satin, and porcelain.

This requires extremely complete business channels. While ensuring that the stolen money is released, the original economic structure cannot be destroyed to avoid being found for flaws.

for example.

Shen Yumen has used Liancheng's treasures in these years through the channels left by Shen Wansan. The gold, silver and jewelry were transported directly to the desert outside the customs, and then they were spent in a circle.

This is very troublesome, but if you don't have this layer of cover-up, you can just go to the pawn shop to pawn. If you take out the jewelry today, the Jin Yiwei will come to your door tomorrow.

It may not be fast for Shen Lian to check other things, but checking things related to money is always fast and good.

There is no way, who gave Shen Lian the surname Shen?

Don't raise money with the Shen family, otherwise even if the King of Heaven himself takes charge, he will be able to find out.

"Brother, you go and do your business first. Leave this matter to me to investigate. I'll find out in two days."

"Bullshit official duties. The new Jingzhou magistrate will arrive soon. I am working diligently on official duties here to make a wedding dress for him. I am too lazy to do such nonsense!"

"Can you not do it?"

"cannot!"

Lu Jianxing rubbed his head helplessly, thinking that the water in Jingzhou was really muddy, and the troubles were one after another.

Shen Lian stretched out and went to the government office to check Jingzhou's accounts over the years. Although he was not a professional accountant, the Shen family was born to calculate accounts quickly and well.

…

"Second brother, how much is the difference?"

"Two million two million taels."

"Did you suffer losses over the years?"

"No, it's the money moved from the treasury. If you subtract the smelting losses and add in the other expenses, the actual amount is 1.85 million taels."

The taxes paid by the people were broken silver, which would be lost during the smelting process into official silver, which was called fire loss. Due to the different integrity of officials, the fire loss also varied.

Three years to clear the magistrate, one hundred thousand snowflakes of silver, where did the money come from? It comes from Huohua!

Do not accept bribes and enforce the law impartially. While winning the reputation of the people, you can also earn huge amounts of gold and silver.

Male Gobi!

What a bunch of bastards!

They should all be sent to Caishikou to be quartered!

"Twenty percent of the fire cost? Ling Tuisi has really made a lot of money over the years. If he can be a local emperor comfortably in the land of Jingxiang, it will indeed be more comfortable than being promoted."

Lu Jianxing's eyes flashed, thinking that this guy Ling Tuisi could make so much money every year.

"The money is first used for management, and secondly used to support the Longsha Gang. Ling Tuisi has not had much luxury in recent years, let alone a local emperor."

Shen Lian was used to this. Compared to other state capitals, Ling Tuisi's Huohua could be said to be incorruptible, and he was really a supreme weapon.

Lu Jianxing sighed and asked, "Are there any other clues? Where should I go to investigate?"

Shen Lian said: "Yes, but I can investigate this matter myself. The case will be solved within seven days."

…

Sunset Racecourse is the largest horse ranch in the Central Plains. To be precise, it is the largest private horse ranch. Heroes in the world like to buy horses from here.

Of course Shen Lian is no exception.

In fact, Shen Lian's current mount was purchased at the Sunset Racecourse last year. It is a rare and good horse, and it is also Shen Lian's indispensable helper.

Now, Shen Lian returns to Sunset Racecourse again.

Logically speaking, with Shen Lian's name, he could enter the sunset racecourse with his head held high, but when Shen Lian arrived at the sunset racecourse, he just wanted to shrink his head.

It would be a beautiful thing if he could shrink his head and get out, but it's a pity that Shen Lian can't do that.

A delicate hand grasped Shen Lian's collar.

The tall and muscular Shen Lian was forcibly lifted up and thrown onto a chair aside.

"sit!"

Shen Lian sat down honestly.

"drink wine!"

Shen Lian picked up the wine bowl and drank it all in one gulp.

"What are you doing at Sunset Racecourse?"

"Investigate the case!"

"What else can you do besides investigating crimes?"

"Escape!"

Shen Lian suddenly turned over and rushed towards a horse like a sharp arrow. As soon as he sat on the saddle, he found a noose tied around his waist, making it difficult to escape even half a step.

Shen Lian smiled bitterly and said, "Sister, please spare me. How about I go find Zhui Feng?"

"Chasing the wind is not fun, you are the most fun!"

"Junior brother, are you here to play?"

"Instead of playing, what else can you do?"
