In the third year of Qingli, my father Gu Yanzhao was accused of "collaborating with the enemy and treason" and was executed in front of the Northwest Army.
They said he was selling arms privately and deserved death.
But I know that before he died, my father used blood to draw a crooked wolf head on the wooden board of the prison van.
Three years later, I became an unknown chief clerk in Kaifeng Mansion. I looked at old files every day, looking for any clues related to "Wolf". Until that night, the body of Li Wenyuan, the weapons supervisor, was floating in the pavilion of Bianjing Lake - his face was peaceful, and his whole body was unharmed. Only under the skin of his back, a line of suicide note left with a secret potion appeared:
"Yongfeng cooperates with the enemy, firearms are in the southeast, and the wolf has entered the house."
I thought this was just a bizarre murder case, but it attracted the palace eunuch to mention someone overnight, the Ministry of Punishment inexplicably obstructed it, and the Cao Gang killers chased him all the way along the canal. What made my spine even more chilling was that in half of the account books found in Li Wenyuan's home, I saw my father's seal from that year.
Only then did I understand the death of my father, the corpse in the Huxin Pavilion, the fine iron that disappeared on the water transportation line, the mysterious "Yongfeng Grain Store" on the southeast coast, and the "White Wolf Flag" of the Liao Kingdom that appeared at the border -
And I, Gu Qingfeng, a civil servant with no power to tie a chicken, had to hold on to the "Secret Detective Tiger Talisman" I got by chance, and took Yan Mingyu, a strange woman who is best at autopsy in Bianjing, and Zhao Chuang, an experienced head catcher in the world, to embark on this road of no return full of traps.
We have to tear a way out between the shadow of the palace, the knife edge of the Cao Gang, the iron hooves of the border army, and a huge organization called "Wolf Head".
This is more than just redressing my father's grievances. But to pull out the hand hidden behind the dragon chair.
