Zhong Hanyu: Commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard. No money, no property, and his wallet is always in the red. Being in debt is routine, especially since he owes Xue Zhao, the Director of the Western Depot. He has a beautiful face but a burly, bear-like body, and he's shameless enough to know Xue Zhao can't stand him and still keep pestering him. He lives by the principle of annoying his rival to death, so pretending to be crazy and playing the fool are everyday occurrences. He likes to put on a show whenever he gets the chance.
Xue Zhao: Director of the Western Depot. He paints his face every day until he looks like a white-faced ghost and can't stand the sight of anyone. He's like a cat who couldn't care less about anybody. He's short and slight, but rich and owns a fine home. He's got a temper and bristles whenever he sees Zhong Hanyu.
When he was ten, dressed in white with his hair tied high in a ponytail, a little kid blocked him at the school gate and asked softly, "Big sister, how old are you? Where do you live?"
His fingers cracked as he clenched them in anger, but he swallowed his rage at the sight of the child's adorable face. Ruffling the boy's hair, he said irritably, "Come talk to me when you've passed the imperial examinations and become the top scholar."
Eight years later, the little kid became the youngest top scholar in the empire. That same June, snow fell over the capital, and the little kid's entire clan was massacred. From then on, the sixth month of Yonghe's sixth year became a taboo in the capital, a subject no one dared mention.
In Yonghe's twelfth year, the rebellion of Prince Xihe was put down. Liu Daqi, the Qingshan garrison commander who had defected to the enemy, was escorted to the capital by the Embroidered Uniform Guard to await trial. Emperor Yonghe ordered the Guard and the Western Depot to investigate together. But before a day had passed after Liu was taken into the Western Depot, Director Xue Zhao had tortured him to death. Commander Zhong Hanyu went to demand an explanation in person, only to get nowhere.
Hoping to get something useful out of Xue Zhao and disgust him at the same time, Zhong Hanyu went straight ahead and confessed to him. The commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard falling for the Director of the Western Depot was probably the most shocking thing to happen since the two organizations were founded.
And so all kinds of rumors began to spread: The commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard and the Director of the Western Depot were lovers.
A beautiful face and a venomous heart, calculating and hot-tempered: the fake eunuch and Director of the Western Depot, the bottom.
A charming, shameless man with a meticulous mind and formidable martial arts: the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, the top.
New book: Neighbors with an Enemy
Jiang Yehong, the greatest martial artist in the realm, had defeated everyone in the Central Plains. To find someone who could still challenge her, she sent a challenge to Wu Changling, the greatest master of Miaojiang, inviting her to a duel atop Chong Mountain. Jiang Yehong thought Wu Changling would ignore her, but the Witch Emperor accepted.
Martial heroes from across the land gathered at the mountaintop, all waiting to witness the peerless duel. But on the night before the fight, Jiang Yehong choked to death on a walnut. Even more bizarrely, Wu Changling climbed onto her roof to gaze at the moon in the middle of the night and was struck dead by lightning. They died less than an hour apart.
The long-awaited duel became an unprecedentedly bizarre double death. A genius of the Central Plains and a peerless shaman of Miaojiang both kicked the bucket for no apparent reason, one after the other. Someone said that Heaven was jealous of their talents, and the crowd decided to bury them together atop Chong Mountain. To everyone's surprise, the people of Miaojiang agreed. High on the mountain, the two masters who had never gotten the chance to fight were laid to rest side by side, beneath pines and cypresses.
Afterward, people often went to Chong Mountain to pay their respects. As time went on, all kinds of rumors spread, and eventually more people came to worship them than went to temples to pray to the God of Wealth. In the end, temples were built for them. But it seemed inappropriate to worship them in the same temple, so two were built, one to the south and one to the north: the Witch Emperor Temple in the south and the Yehong Temple in the north.
Three years later, on a rainy night, Jiang Yehong opened her eyes and found herself reborn in the body of Chu Feide, the top constable of the Six Gates. What rotten luck. What was she supposed to do as some measly constable? But three years had passed, and her glory days were behind her, so Jiang Yehong could only grit her teeth and keep doing the constable's job. She often got lost and couldn't find crime scenes; sometimes the body had already been taken back to the Six Gates by the time she found her way there.
A murder took place at the Yiren Pavilion. Li Fugui, the richest man in the capital, was found dead in the room of A Ruo, a dancer at the pavilion. Li Fugui's wife came storming in and hurled abuse at the poor dancer, calling her a shameless male fox spirit. She even grabbed at A Ruo's clothes. Jiang Yehong couldn't stand by and rescued the beauty. Unexpectedly, she got herself a lovely assistant to help investigate the case, who could also do the laundry, cook, and keep house. Jiang Yehong paid five gold bars to buy A Ruo's freedom, but it turned out to be money well spent.
Both are reborn. A master of tall tales takes a little green tea along while they unravel one strange and bizarre case after another. Light on deduction, with the story at its heart.
Theme: Stay true to yourself, even in a murky, worldly society
New book: "Enemies as Neighbors" Jiang Yehong, the best master in the martial arts world, defeated all the invincible martial arts masters in the Central Plains. In order to continue to challenge the master, Jiang Yehong sent a challenge to Wu Di Changling, the first master in Miao territory, and asked him to duel on the top of Chongshan Mountain. I thought Wu Changning would ignore it, but Wu Di actually accepted the challenge. All of a sudden, martial arts heroes gathered on the top of Chongshan Mountain, waiting to see the peerless duel between the two masters. Unexpectedly, Jiang Yehong choked to death on the night before the duel. What was even more bizarre was that Wu Changning climbed to the roof in the middle of the night to look at the moon and was struck by lightning. The two mysterious deaths were less than an hour apart. The much-anticipated peerless showdown turned into an eternity of bizarre deaths. A martial arts prodigy from the Central Plains and a peerless wizard from the Miao border inexplicably kicked off to the west one after the other. I don't know who said that the two peerless masters died one after another because God was jealous of the talent, so everyone calculated and buried the two together on the top of Chongshan Mountain. Unexpectedly, the people from the Miao border agreed. So the two masters on the high mountain who had not yet had time to fight had their graves next to each other, surrounded by pines and cypresses, and they slept here forever. After that, people often went to worship the two people on the top of Chongshan Mountain. As time went by, various rumors spread, and there were so many rumors that more people went to worship these two people than to worship the God of Wealth in the temple. Later, a temple was simply built for them, but it was not suitable to enshrine the two in one temple, so two temples were built in the south and the north, the Wu Di Temple in the south and the Ye Hong Temple in the north. One rainy night three years later, Jiang Yehong opened his eyes and was reborn as Chu Feide, the number one catcher of the Six Gates. It was really hard to carry. What could a broken head catcher do? However, three years had passed and the glory was gone. Jiang Yehong could only bite the bullet and continue to work as a catcher. He often couldn't find the scene of the crime because he got lost. The body was carried back to the Six Gates and he was still looking for the way. A murder occurred in Yiren Pavilion. Li Fugui, the richest man in the capital, died in the room of A Ruo, a dancer in Yiren Pavilion. Li Fugui's wife came to the door and cursed at the poor little dancer. What kind of male fox is shameless and started to attack again? Jiang Yehong couldn't stand the thought of ripping off someone's clothes. A hero saved a beauty for once, but unexpectedly, he picked up a little beauty to help him investigate the case, wash and cook, and take care of the housework. Although he spent five gold bars to redeem Aruo, it was well worth the money. A double life, a big trickster and a little green tea, peeling off the cocoons, restoring a series of strange and bizarre cases, light reasoning, and focusing on stories.
