Suspense of conspiracy / fireworks in the city / mystery of life experience
Meng Chang is the daughter of a bakery in Xishi. She has been selling cakes, settling accounts, and taking care of her younger brother Meng Lei with her parents since she was a child.
She always thought she was just an ordinary businesswoman,
Until the first day of the twelfth lunar month, when she went home to collect eggs, she found a man covered in blood in her cowshed.
The man's name was Pei Zhusheng, a powerful minister of the Chu State, Marquis of Ping'en, Grand Sima, and Chief of Staff.
Because Pei Zhusheng was involved in a dispute over the throne, he was assassinated by someone sent by the King of Hejian. He was seriously injured and fled to the West City.
The Meng family were kind-hearted and even though they knew he might cause trouble, they still hid him for treatment.
Unexpectedly, the Hejian Palace quickly targeted the Meng family.

Meng Lei's eyes lit up and he said with a smile, "Brother, are you literate?"
Pei Zhusheng expressed his affirmation with his eyes, a look of unruliness on his face.
He entered the Imperial Academy at an early age and became a disciple of the former Prime Minister. He did not dare to say that he was a master. He was also known as a man of literary and military skills, versatile in both literature and martial arts, wise and courageous, and accomplished in learning.
Meng Lei's eyes flickered and he pulled something out from behind.

"I was rude. How do you sell this dish, girl?"
Meng Chang's expression didn't change: "Thirty essays."
The old woman selling vegetables next to her shook her hand and almost dropped the scale on the ground.
Two handfuls of green vegetables, thirty coins?
Is this a vegetable or a golden leaf?
