Plot[]

Under the Zhou dynasty, the act of whistle blowing is highly encouraged. Upon their arrival to Luoyang, the whistle blowers are murdered, which prompts Wu Siyue to investigate. As Gao Bingzhu is searching for the murderer who killed his friends 5 years ago, he becomes a suspect in another murder case. He then seeks help from Baili Hongyi, who wants to find out the truth about his father being poisoned. While trying to uncover the truth, Wu Siyue ends up meeting both Gao and Baili Hongyi. As the three of them team up together and discover new clues, they are led to believe that these cases are connected and related to Four Season Clan – a rebellious organization consisted of professional killers. The clues also lead Gao to the culprit behind the murder of his friends – Yaoniang, who has been Gao’s confidant for years and kills herself upon their meeting.

Gao then joins Lianfang (lit. 'Joint Corps', an intelligence agency governed by Prince Dongchuan) and helps the organization detect a long-term spy. After exhaustive investigation and life-threatening dangers, the trio finds out that Four Season Clan is creating high explosive to destroy Tiantang tower, thereby assassinate the Empress on the Lighting Festival. Gao’s quest for the headquarter of Four Season Clan succeeded; he also found the clan’s code of conduct, which serves as an important indication to the decryption process. Due to Baili Hongyi’s decoding efforts, they are able to stop the explosions on time on the day of the Lighting Festival. Nevertheless, Hanjia granary suddenly blows up, which causes starvation and riots across Luoyang. As Prince Dongchuan is stabbed and severely wounded, Wu Youjue is promoted to become the Minister of Lianfang. The Four Season Clan, now under Baili Kuanren’s sole leadership, gifts rice to Luoyang’s residents to raise reputation. He was then arrested while attending Wu Youjue’s speech. As a result, Wu Youjue is praised and rewarded by the Empress. Wu Siyue accidentally finds out that her brother Wu Youjue has been the manipulator behind Four Season Clan all along, who recently abducted Princess Yongchuan Li Lu and now plans a bomb attack in order to abdicate the crown prince. However, Gao Bingzhu thwarted his plan beforehand with the help of Buliangjing’s residents. Wu Youjue survived in a failed assassination attempted by Liu Shi, but Wu Siyue is shot and died. The exclusion order on Buliangjing ghetto is lifted, which made Gao’s promise to the residents come true.
