[Two male protagonists | Ancient suspense | Court intrigues | Powerful confrontation]
On the first night when Ruan Mingyi entered the Prime Minister's Mansion, he handed Pei Zhiheng, who had all the power in the government, a glass of poisonous wine.
Pei Zhiheng did not test the poison and drank it all in front of him, but handed him a case of missing 80,000 shi of military rations.
"Within three days, we will find out where the food went. If we can't find out, we will be charged with spying on military aircraft."
Twelve years ago, the entire Ruan family was buried in a sea of fire. Twelve years later, the only survivor changed his name and returned to Beijing for revenge.
Ruan Mingyi originally wanted to use Pei Zhiheng's power to investigate Pei Zhiheng's crimes. But as warehouse fires, false accounts and missing witnesses appeared one after another, he gradually discovered that the military ration case was far deeper than imagined.
Pei Zhiheng was obviously the person he wanted to kill the most, but he was also the only person willing to let him continue the investigation.
A glass of poisonous wine, a suspicious case, and an old story that refuses to be buried.
When all the evidence is put in front of him, who should the knife in Ruan Mingyi's hand fall on?
