Ye Wenbiao, the author of "The Code of the Qingming River Map", after 5 years of conception and 3 years of writing, gave the 824 characters in the picture scroll to the story one by one, trying to dig out the earth-shattering secrets hidden behind the picture scroll...

China's top ten famous paintings and national treasure-level cultural relics "Qingming Upper River Map" was painted by Zhang Zeduan, a painter of the Hanlin Academy of Pictures, during the song Huizong period. The long scroll of more than five meters describes the prosperous scene of the Northern Song Dynasty capital of Beijing for ten miles, with 824 characters, more than 60 livestock, and more than 20 wooden boats jumping on the paper. In the center of the scroll, an arched bridge is bustling with people.

Before it was too late to lower the mast, the ship seemed to be crashing into the arch bridge, and what kind of shocking conspiracy would be hidden here...

Synopsis

In the last years of the Northern Song Dynasty, the Hanlin Picture Academy painted the customs of Zhang Zeduanshan, and every time he offered to the emperor, he was full of observations and records of fireworks in the capital city of Beijing. However, Emperor Huizong of song zhao yi was good at writing and flowing, not seeking similarity, but seeking charm, and always scorned his offerings and discarded them casually.

In the imperial garden, in the face of Zhang Zeduan's new work, Huizong's elegant interest was completely absent, and at this time, a joke by the taishi Cai Jing attracted Huizong's interest - "If you want to ask about the rise and fall of the Great Song Dynasty, first count the sails of the Bian River..."

The story contained in the first part of "The Code of the Qingming Upper River Map" unfolded in different spaces at the same time, outlining a grander story: the Bian River passenger ship surprised 25 corpses, and Zhao Buyou, a lawyer from the clan room, found that Lang Fan, the "swordsman" who was good at swordsmanship in the "Dongshui Eight Characters" in The "Dongshui Eight Characters" was also buried in it, and then the strange cases of Fan Lou and Rotten Ke Temple were repeated, and the city of Bian was full of doubts...
