In the teahouse of the Bada Hutong in Peiping, a new storyteller wearing a half silver mask has arrived. He has a gentle voice and elegant conversation, but he suffers from a strange illness of extreme chills. When he talked about "Three Kingdoms", the plainclothes police chief who was investigating the case broke out in cold sweat; when he talked about "Water Margin", the undersecretary of foreign affairs who was smuggling arms in the box was so frightened that he could not leave the room. Everyone thought he was just a disabled scholar with no power, but little did they know that the mysterious political broker "Mr. Pei" with powerful eyes and hands on the black market was also him. No one even knew that the high-ranking officials in Beiping who died in strange and tragic deaths, or even went crazy and bit each other, were all prey in this network. An old pocket watch with blood on it, and half a piece of yellowed code paper. Strange coincidences again and again push the high-ranking enemies into the abyss of eternal destruction. The ghost who was presumed to have froze to death in Siberia nine years ago has finally come back to claim his life. But how on earth did he let the warlords who were as close as brothers kill each other without even touching the target? How deep is the ultimate buyer of that fatal secret message named "Jiazi Hao"...
