My father died unjustly, leaving behind a polished copper coin.
Twenty-two-year-old Shen Mo went to Beijing to take the exam just to overturn the verdict. But on the first night, a mysterious note appeared on the window sill of the inn: "Don't investigate your father's case."
He checked.
From a seventh-rank official to the chief minister of the cabinet, he overthrew the powerful eunuch Wang Zhi, defeated the chief minister Wan An, and overthrew Concubine Wan Gui—the entire Ming Dynasty thought he was a knife in the emperor's hand.
Only he knew that he just wanted justice for his father.
On the way, I bumped into a shrewd female accountant, Su Wan. She called him a "poor scholar" and helped him check accounts, find evidence, and even use scissors to drive away people who threatened him.
She said: "If you die, who will I settle the account with?"
He said: "Then I will come back alive and let you settle the matter."
This is a counterattack by a lonely minister, and it is also the life and death dependence of a pair of happy enemies.
Machiavellianism, passion, and sweet pets—it starts with copper coins and ends with the Ming Dynasty and Zhongxing.
