A case of corruption of ink led to an old palace seal that should not have appeared in the local grain book.
Xie Heng was ordered to go south to investigate the case. When he found that 1,700 stones of relief grain were missing, he met Shen Ji on a rainy night in Kuaiji Mountain.
She was dressed in shabby clothes, holding a short knife, and was being chased all the way.
But he only took one look at her and fished her out from the pile of dead people.
"Follow me."
"Why?"
"You will die."
She didn't believe it.
Later I learned that this seemingly gentle and dignified young master of the Xie family held more than just her life in his hands.
The food relief case three years ago, the 1,700 stones of food that disappeared, the old files in the palace that had never seen the light of day, and the residual seal in her hand had all been linked together by an invisible hand.
And they went from Kuaiji to Jiankang, from an old case to a stormy day.
She wants to find out her origin.
He wants to find out the truth buried deep in the court.
They use each other and test each other.
It was not until later that Shen Ji discovered——
The most dangerous situation in the world is never the court.
It was Xie Heng's eyes that were always calm when he looked at her.
