In the autumn of 696 AD, on the eve of the birthday of the Empress of the Tang Dynasty in the Wanxiang Palace, a suspicious case occurred in Liangzhou, an important town in the northwest, and the hexagrams were very dangerous.
Between the passing of time and the passing of time, it is nothing more than following the way of heaven. The expert pointed out that the star position of Yongliang is controlled by the two stars of Dali and Silu. This time, it is appropriate for Dali Temple and the Ministry of Officials to work together to be more confident in solving the disaster in Liangzhou. And according to the intention of the escape hexagram, it is necessary to hide and avoid, go secretly, and then wait for the opportunity.
After a lot of court games, the imperial court finally ordered that under the guise of the Ministry of Personnel's trip to the local area to assess officials every three years, the young minister of Dali Temple and the civil servants of the Ministry of Personnel were sent to Liangzhou to launch a secret investigation.
From Luoyang to Liangzhou, the journey is surrounded by dangers and mysterious cases. There are also three forces entangled in each other, killing each other on this ancient post road.
Xue Chongqi, the youngest Shaoqing of Dali Temple, and Shi Shen Yicong, the newly promoted official secretary, will not only have to fight wits and courage with the murderer, but also face the test of inner demons...
"Poison still needs poison to cure it, and heart disease needs medicine. Why do you, in a high position, have to wear the shackles that imprison your soul..."
