Da Qin: Canglan Official

On the third day after Qin Shihuang unified the world, Shen Yan woke up and became a minor official in Daqin County. The bamboo slips before the case were not dry, but the body was already floating in Jingqu. A wrongly written water mark, a strange-colored mud seal, and a corpse that should not have died at the mouth of the canal lead to the first canal-breaking case in Kinki, Xianyang. When the water flow is wrong, the channel changes its course; If a canal is diverted, there will be no food in every mile; A mile without food puts a person in jail; When one person is imprisoned, a whole county is feared. In this Qin Dynasty, where the law is like iron and the officials are like nets, it may not be the sword that kills people, it may just be a word, a number, or a seal on a slip. Shen Yan did not want to be a saint, nor did he want to overthrow the Qin Dynasty. He just held his knife and pen, starting from the floating corpse in Jingqu, checking water rights, checking granaries, checking corvee labor, checking household registration, checking medicine, checking prisons, checking military achievements, checking projects, checking plans, and went deep into the Xianyang treasury. One word can kill someone, one word can deceive the heavens. And what he wants to do is to let the suffering of the living be included in the tomb and the injustice of the dead be named.
