Dazhenquan Road

For a hundred years in Dazhen, all the profits from the salt and iron monopoly went into private hands, redundant water transport personnel were exploited at every level, the people had little food, and the frontier troops were owed wages. Su Xun, a student from a poor family, wrote a policy paper that touched the centuries-old history of the Jiangnan gentry. Even though his ribs were broken, he still took the exam with a bloody book in hand. Chen Bingheng, the governor of Suzhou, tried his best to choose him as Jieyuan, and the orphan girl Shen Lingshuang in prison swallowed the paper and hid the evidence to protect her with her life. He stormed into the Linde Palace with his private accounts and irrefutable evidence of collaborating with the enemy, and the emperor's countermeasures ripped off his clothes and exposed his scars: If ordinary people are trapped, why should they risk their lives? From the frost and snow in the south of the Yangtze River to the wind and frost in Chang'an, he used the law as his sword and his life as his stake to fight to the end in the most decadent salt-iron water transport fraud case in the empire. There is no golden finger, no time travel, a hard-core imitation of the Tang Dynasty system, strict political logic, and full and three-dimensional group portraits - this is the story of a cold branch breaking through the snow, and also the story of a group of people who refused to kneel and lit a lamp forcibly in the darkest night of the empire.
