Fifteen years ago, the Luochuan disaster relief fund disappeared, and everyone in the Ji family was convicted.
Everyone said that Ji Huaizhang took the life-saving money. Only his young daughter Ji Tangning survived. She changed her name to Wen Zhaoheng and hid in a business, where she learned to settle accounts, play games, and hide knives.
Fifteen years later, she returned to Chengan with half of the remaining accounts.
At first, she just wanted to overturn the case for her father.
But the deeper she checked the account, the more she discovered that the relief money did not go to the private treasury, but went to Qingqi Iron Mine, Muji Army Crossbow, and broken weapons at the border, and finally led out a private soldier hidden at the foot of the Imperial City.
All the powerful people in the court wanted her to shut up.
The Police Department wants to take her to Nanjing, the Minister of Household Affairs wants to destroy the accounts, the Queen Mother wants to change the emperor, and even the old case of deposing the crown prince has been uncovered.
However, Xiao Wenche, the surviving son of the deposed prince who had been under house arrest for many years, opened the gate of Qingwu Courtyard with his own hands and stood beside her.
He said: "I will not fight for the throne, and I will not allow them to kill people in my father's name."
She said: "Then I will settle this account until dawn."
Old accounts were opened and the imperial city changed.
The orphaned daughter of the guilty minister was restored to his name, the deposed prince was avenged, the new king emerged from the palace, and the rich and powerful throughout the dynasty paid off their debts one by one.
And the last thing she wanted was not a reward or an official title.
Just a piece of paper and a person who can leave Beijing side by side.
