Introduction to the work "Stele without Words"
---
In the seventeenth year of God's blessing, seven young people came to Chaowu Division.
An orphan, Sizheng, whose biggest wish is to "have a family"; a widower with a heart disease, who treats every day as his last day; a promotion official from a famous family, who looks in the mirror wherever he goes; a military detective transferred from the border army, who values face more than his life; a taciturn art student, whose paintings are full of death; a medical woman who is afraid of pain and blood, even sipping sugar when taking medicine; a bookkeeper who is good at calculation, and must make three strategies for everything.
They have very different personalities and hurt each other every day, but they unexpectedly hit it off. When a case was solved in Dengcheng City, they joined forces; when they crowded in the public house late at night and shared a pot of hot wine, they said, "Chaowu Division, we will never leave." While watching the fireworks on the city tower, the seven people made an agreement to watch together every year, and whoever doesn't come will be the dog.
Everything was warm, as warm as the candied fruits Jiang Wang always carried in his pocket.
Until an old case from fifteen years ago was uncovered.
They found something they shouldn't have. The loyal minister died unjustly, the chief minister was framed, and the final instruction came from the highest crown in the world.
Then, the verdicts came down one by one——
The last remaining man built six tombs on the outskirts of the city and a seventh for himself.
Nothing is written on the monument.
The wind blew through the locust trees. He arranged seven sets of bowls and chopsticks and poured seven glasses of wine.
He said to the air: "The weather is nice today, let's have a drink."
No one answered.
But the wordless monument is covered with locust flowers.
