In the winter of the third year of Qingyuan, fine snow fell in Lin'an City.
Shen Mo, a small official from the Municipal Shipping Department, conducted an autopsy at the dock and found a palace ban sign hanging from the deceased's waist.
Following the clues, he uncovered a huge smuggling network, and the private goods went directly to the Prime Minister's Office.
The Jin State secret agent wanted to silence him, so he hid in the blind girl's teahouse, but heard her whisper:
"The goods you checked will be transported away from Liuhe Pagoda tonight."
Shen Mo intercepted the secret message and learned that the Kingdom of Jin wanted to use smuggling channels to transport the plague.
He risked his life by beating the Denwen drum, but was pushed down by the guard:
"You've frightened the emperor, but you still want to live?"
Fleeing on a snowy night, the torches of the pursuing soldiers behind him were like ghost eyes threatening death.
The lights of thousands of houses in Lin'an City gradually went out in his eyes.
