Chang'an City has not been peaceful recently.
The wealthy businessman died in a secret room with a neat suicide note and locked doors and windows - it was determined to be suicide.
Xiao Jingyao, the young minister of Dali Temple, said: This is murder.
Three days later, a case of fraud in the imperial examination occurred. The examiner Zhao Qian died mysteriously in prison, with black blood hanging from the corner of his mouth. Everyone said that he committed suicide out of fear of crime, but Xiao Jamyao found a rag in his hand - it was stained with arsenic.
As the investigation deepened, a murder case from ten years ago came to light: Xiao Zheng, the king of Jingyao County, was accused of treason. All the members of the family were convicted, except for a fourteen-year-old boy.
That young man is Xiao Jamyao today.
Why did a fish charm that was supposed to be locked in the palace appear in the secret room of the deceased? What is the warning that Zhao Qian left behind before his death: "Be careful of those around you"?
Chang'an City is still prosperous, but there are people in the dark who are ready to make trouble.
Jamel Xiao only knows one thing: the truth will never come out on its own.
