Lin Qingyuan, the number one scholar from a poor family, was promoted to the position of supervisory censor by the new emperor Xiao Che. Within five years, he became the sharpest knife in the emperor's hand. When solving the Jiangnan salt case, he accidentally discovered that Xiao Che's biological mother, the abandoned concubine Jiang, did not die of illness, but was the palace secret who was murdered. When he risked his life to obtain key witnesses and entered the palace in the rain, he found exactly the same evidence in a secret compartment in the emperor's study. Xiao Che's words "I have been waiting for ten years" revealed his hidden plan. Immediately after the witness was killed, Lin Qingyuan reported illness and closed the door. On the window sill of the study, he found the mysterious black iron order and the plain paper "The chess game is about to end, who will hold the piece?", And was surprised to see half a military talisman under the inkstone.
