"This world is just a game of chess, but the one who plays chess is already in the game."
In the winter of the 23rd year of Jinghe, a bizarre imperial examination fraud case shocked both the government and the public. Chen Ke, a poor student, was hanged in front of the gate of Gongyuan, with the endgame chess score drawn in blood at his feet. When counselor Xie Chen cut open his best friend's body, what he took out from his stomach was not a test question, but a canal drawing marked with the word "Long Yuan".
Xie Chen, who was missing a finger on his left hand, didn't know that this drawing would tear apart the biggest conspiracy of the Dayin Dynasty in three hundred years:
- The family valve that controls the four realms actually makes money by privately changing river channels to create droughts and floods
- The legendary "Secret Treasure of Longyuan" is actually the "Correction Map of Kyushu Water Veins" left by Taizu
- The "Jinghe Palace Incident" twenty years ago began with a deliberate canal diversion
"You want to overturn the verdict, I want to change the course." Under the mask of the iron-faced prince Jamel Xiao, poisonous insects are gnawing at his true appearance.
"You count people's hearts, and I count hydrology." Xie Chen dipped his remaining finger in blood and drew a fatal blow on the canal map.
"You see the lies, I see the tide." Maritime merchant Yu Qinghuang's earrings reflected every false data in the court memorial.
"You set up the chess game, and I'll raise the Gu formation." The witch witch Lan Su's Gu worms are devouring the foundation of the family along the tributaries of the canal.
When the four forces met at the main gate, Xie Chen understood:
The real strategy is not in the memorials, but in the rivers;
The most cruel trick is not poison, but a diversion order;
And the final chess game will end with gunpowder.
"Now, which one should be drowned?"
Xie Chen lit the fuse, and behind him was the roar of the Yu family's warship array.
Purpose: "Use water as a blade to break the three-hundred-year-old family's turmoil; use chess as fire to burn away the lies of the decadent dynasty."
