His father was wronged and his whole family was exiled.
Shen Yan entered the capital at the age of seven. Within thirteen years, he was reduced from being a son of an aristocratic family to being a handyman in a righteous village.
I thought I would only be with the dead in this life.
Until one rainy night, the head of the household department died in the suburbs of Beijing.
After an autopsy by the Ministry of Criminal Justice, the case was closed with just one sentence: "He slipped and fell into the water."
However, Shen Yan found a river transport bronze medal from 13 years ago on the body.
And that year was the year when everyone in the Shen family was convicted.
A bronze medal leads to an old case.
An old case leads to a shocking chain of interests.
River transportation, money and grain, salt tax, aristocratic families, officialdom...
Shen Yan started as a handyman in Yizhuang that no one looked down upon, and then stepped into the Daheng court step by step.
Others rely on evidence to investigate cases.
He investigates cases by letting the real murderer reveal his flaws.
Others fight for power by relying on their disciples and old officials.
He fought for power by borrowing a knife to kill someone and taking advantage of the situation to break the situation.
But when the truth of thirteen years ago gradually surfaced, Shen Yan discovered——
The destruction of the Shen family was never an accident.
Those who sit high in the temple had already laid out a game of chess thirteen years ago.
And he was actually the person who least deserved to survive in this game of chess.
This game, since they refused to end.
Then Shen Yan will lift the table.
