On the night when his parents were forced to death by the warlord, Shen Yanqiu burned the account books of the silk and satin shop and exchanged them for a box of gold bars. She and her apprentice Fang Xiaoman squatted at the gate of the city, waiting for the legendary Marshal Huo, who could kill without blinking an eye, to enter the city. When Huo Beichen's horse's hooves stopped in front of her, she raised her face and smiled sweetly: Marshal, I picked up the military pay you lost. Huo Beichen stared at the gold bar in her hand and sneered: Shopkeeper Shen, this money is very hot. Shen Yanqiu blinked: It's worth something if it's hot. She didn't expect that this box of gold bars would involve her in a major military pay case. The numbers in the ledger didn't match up. Lu Yannian, the adjutant of the city defense army, stared at her, and Sun Guizhi, the widow of the veteran Huo Jiajun, also stared at her. Everyone was waiting for her to speak. But Shen Yanqiu knew that in this game of chess, whoever spoke first would lose.
