Synopsis
When I woke up, I became the tax collector on death row who killed my mentor. The numbers in the ledger are speaking, they say: There is someone else who is responsible for the murder. Su Yan, the youngest director of the National Audit Office, encountered an "accident" at a critical moment while investigating a multi-billion-dollar corruption case. When he opened his eyes again, he found himself in the cold tax treasury of the "Daxuan" of the dynasty. At the scene of the murder, his mentor died tragically, and he was holding a bloody knife in his hand. Officers and soldiers broke into the house and captured both the people and the stolen goods. The execution will be tomorrow at noon. With the professional sense of smell of a top auditor, Su Yan discovered fatal flaws on the body: two wounds, two murder weapons, and at least two murderers. In his arms were fragments of dark blue satin torn from the real murderer's robe; on the account book were the bloody fingerprints of a third person. All of this is a carefully arranged frame-up. In order to find a way to survive and gain more truth, he survived on the desperate road to the execution ground. Following the "backhand" left behind by his master with his life, he only found half a volume of the "Secret Records of Abacus Arithmetic" that transcended the times, a dark abacus bead engraved with "Tian Ji San", and a warning written in blood: "The empty seal is not a case, but a door. Do not open it. The abacus counts the stars, and the seven stars gather together, and the truth is revealed." The clue points to Chen Yuanshan, the largest salt merchant in Linshan City and the master of Tingfeng Pavilion. However, when Su Yan arrived, she only saw the white streamers in the mourning hall and the eyes of Chen Yunshan's daughter, Chen Yun, filled with grief and suspicion. The two were forced to join forces, but step by step they stepped into a deeper fog: Behind the huge losses in the salt tax was smuggling of the enemy's refined iron, which was shocking treason by capitalizing on the enemy. □□, Beidi, and high-ranking officials in the DPRK and China have woven into a huge web that swallowed up the economic lifeline of the three border cities. And all the clues vaguely point to Zhang Wenyuan, the Minister of Household Affairs who is known as the "Economic Officer". A bigger secret then surfaced: A hundred years ago, the time traveler "Xuan Jizi" founded the Tianji Pavilion and left behind seven "Seven Star Beads" that contained a stunning inheritance. Now they have become the key to many parties. Zhang Wenyuan does not seem to be a simple corrupt official, but a messenger from the overseas mysterious organization "Enlightenment", intending to use economic warfare that transcends the times to reshape (or destroy) the dynasty from within. Su Yan, this "foreigner" who carries modern auditing wisdom and professional beliefs, has become the only variable on the chessboard. He must: In the conspiracy and killing game, gather the seven-star beads to uncover the mysterious plan that spans hundreds of years. Use the ledger as a sword and the numbers as a sharp edge to cut through the layers of disguised false accounts and get straight to the core evidence of crime. Race against time to stop a shocking transaction in the name of "borrowing" but actually mortgaging the country. Identify the traitor among your trusted partners and stick to your true heart amid the complicated clues. And when the seven stars finally gathered together and the dusty secret room was opened, what was waiting for Su Yan was not the final answer, but the ultimate trap carefully planned by the enemy, and the shadow of the "Enlightenment" fleet on the sea level that represented a higher civilization and an unknown threat. This is the collision between the abacus and the sword, the game between the account book and the country. See how the modern Audit Director uses numbers as a blade to settle a flesh-and-blood account that affects the rise and fall of the world in the treacherous ancient courts and rivers and lakes. Purpose: To calm down the business crisis, save the people from fire and water, and enjoy the happiness of the whole world.
