The best counterfeiter in the world, bearing the official seal of a dead man, entered a city that had been legally deprived of money. He wanted to make all the invalid old banknotes in the city genuine again before the order to change banknotes came down.
Why is something true? Not because it is true, but because some people have the right to say it is true.
The time is set in the autumn of the fifth year of Zhenghe (1115), in Qing'an County, Chuzhou, Huainan East Road.
There are still twelve years left before the Jingkang Incident. The whole city is fighting for the authenticity of a piece of paper, and no one hears the horseshoes in the north.
The imperial court issued new banknotes, and the old banknotes were redeemable within a time limit and became invalid after the expiration date. With one order, half the lives of half the people in the city were wiped out.
