Yang Ke, the leader of the serious crime team of the Municipal Bureau's Criminal Investigation Detachment, finally caught the murderer he had been chasing for seven years, but he himself fell into the Zhengde period of the Ming Dynasty.
When he woke up, he was being pinned to the ground to finish off his wounds.
After killing the assassin, he found that he had become a small bannerman in Fusi, Jinyiwei North Town - from the seventh rank, with no background, no connections, and was being silenced.
The original person received a secret order to investigate a murder case in a grain store, but was pushed off the wall and fell to death.
Yang Ke wanted to pretend to be dead to save his life, but unexpectedly, early the next morning, the deceased's daughter came to the door, crying and begging him to investigate the case.
What he didn't even expect was the half-burned letter, the stack of paintings hidden in the grain store, the man in black standing deep in the alley - everything told him:
This case is not simple.
Someone wants to use his death to make the case bigger.
Someone wants to use his work to investigate a secret that no one dares to touch.
Someone wants to kill him and silence him.
Someone wanted to protect him as a chess player.
The only bargaining chip in his hand is fifteen years of criminal investigation experience - he will not lie at the scene, there are always flaws in people's hearts, and the truth is always hidden in the details.
But he soon discovered that what he wanted to investigate this time was not a person, but an era.
Liu Jin, Dongchang, Xichang, Jinyiwei, Prince Ning, the Tatar Cavalry... Behind every clue stands the most powerful person of this era.
And he is just a little flag trying to survive.
