In the winter of the third year of Funing, we were at Chaishikou, Bianjing.
A boy who was butchering pigs picked up a dumb fool at the door of the butcher shop.
His name is Zhang Chaoxi. He is seventeen years old. His father died three years ago and left him a chopper knife, a set of knife skills, a jade pendant engraved with the word "Shen", and one sentence:
"If you don't save someone when you die, you are a useless person."
The fool he rescued later got a name. He didn't know that this child was a famous Jiangnan scholar who was executed by his entire family in the "Reverse Poetry Case" twenty years ago. He didn't know that this child had a secret that could overthrow the court.
Someone wants this kid dead
Someone wants this kid alive
More people want to use this child to stir up trouble.
This year, Caogang was framed for "colluding against the party" and became a thorn in the side of the court overnight.
This year, the Salt Gang took advantage of the situation and tried to steal the Caogang's business, extending its claws into the south of the Yangtze River.
This year, the female gang leader of the Qingzhu Gang stared at the old cases from twenty years ago, waiting for someone who could help her get justice.
This year, the old abbot of Jingming Sect was on the top of Mount Lu, looking at all the living beings at the foot of the mountain, and recited the name "Buddha".
This year, the Taoist priests from Longhu Mountain went south to "mediate" on the order of the prince, hiding the emperor's secret decree on their sleeves.
This year, Guan Tiansi's killers came out in full force to clear the last stumbling block for the "Master Song" behind the scenes.
This year, a young man who killed pigs and a fool who could not speak went south along the Bian River.
Xia is not a big shot.
Xia has to deal with it calmly.
The hero is——
Wherever the blade goes, regardless of the future.

Excellent literary talent, every word is exquisite
The main line is clear, and there is no excessive use of "fighting between gods" style renderings in characterization, which makes people unconsciously think of "Three Heroes and Five Righteousness" [Like] [Like] [Like]
