Suspense and Supernatural孤臣局
Lu Shisan Ro
In the seventeenth year of Jinghe's reign, the Beidi delegation came to Beijing, and an assassination attempt brought the old Shuangzhou case that had been dusty for ten years back to the court. Ten years ago, Pei Zhen, the Marquis of Zhenbei, was convicted of collaborating with the enemy and treason. The entire Pei family was destroyed, and the bones of 30,000 Shuangzhou troops were buried in the north. Ten years later, a new official from a poor family named Shen Zhao came to Beijing to serve as the priest of the Ministry of Rites. He is of low rank and mild-mannered, like the most inconspicuous speck of dust in the capital. But he understands the old etiquette, knows the surrounding culture, and can see the smallest flaws in the chaos. He rescued the Beidi envoy, defended the false confessions of the Ministry of Punishment, protected the witnesses of the old case, and gradually dragged the chief assistant, the prince, the Secret Service, Yushitai, and the old army in the north into the same net. No one knows that Shen Zhao's real name is Pei Chengyan, and he is the last orphan of the Zhenbei Hou Mansion. He is not a sick counselor, nor does he show pain to others. He hid his edge in etiquette, files and people's hearts, spent ten years living as a silent chess piece, and then fell into a dead end with his own hands. What he wants is not to kill one or two people to vent his hatred, but to have all those involved in the old case confess their crimes in person before the world can judge them. It's just that the deeper the investigation into the old case gets, the colder the truth becomes. The defeat of Shuangzhou was not the fault of one person, but a lie stitched together by powerful ministers, the inner court, military supplies, and imperial power. If the truth is revealed, the country will be shaken, old friends will die, and even the protagonist himself may not be able to come out of this game alive. Revenge will be complete. But after the snow is gone, no one knows whether Guihong will still be there.
