About This Novel
Although Emperor Xiaozong of the Song Dynasty, Zhao He, experienced the disastrous defeat of the Longxing Northern Expedition and the subsequent humiliation of land ceding and compensation, he still cherished ZTE and wanted to launch another Northern Expedition, attack the Jin Kingdom, regain the lost territory, and avenge his shame. This caused disputes between the eager war faction, the main war faction, and the detente faction at home and abroad. In fact, the ambitious Northern Expedition had long been hollowed out and became a sign of wealth for the powerful on all sides to seize resources and exploit the people. On this day, the cold wind was howling and the goose-feather heavy snow was flying. A lonely small boat was undulating in the wind and drifting on the cold waves of the West Lake. A man was seen tightly tied to the small boat and could not move. Bang! Bang! Bang! Someone was lurking under the water and using a hammer to cut the boat. The man screamed for help in terror, which alerted the city guard who was patrolling the tower of Lin'an City, the capital of the Song Dynasty. By the time rescuers arrived, the boat had already been scuttled. After salvaging it, it was discovered that the victim was General Xue Chong, the commander of the Quanzhou Left Wing Navy Navy. There have been rumors that Xue Chong took advantage of his position to run underground businesses and illegally amassed money. He accumulated a huge amount of wealth and had a "gold mountain" in his family. Is his death related to that golden mountain? The murderer deliberately chose to carry out the murder at dawn, causing Xue Chong to shout loudly for help. Was he so bold and arrogant? He was obviously trying to make a warning to others? Xue Chong had excellent water skills and drowned him in the West Lake. This was obviously a public humiliation to him! This strange West Lake shipwreck in the sixth year of Chunxi's reign opened up a corner of the shady curtain of the Song Dynasty's officialdom, and also set up a terrifying and murderous trap for the protagonist Yuan Jichong.
