The background of the story is that on the eve of the meeting between Qin Gui, the Prime Minister, and the translator of the Golden People, the envoy of the Golden People was killed in the Prime Minister's office, and his secret letter disappeared. The whole movie was reversed twelve times.
For the first time, with the compact sound of gongs and drums, the translator of the Jin people was killed, and the soldiers seized the utility soldier Zhang Da (Shen Teng), who provided an important clue "letter" under the intimidation of the deputy commander-in-chief of the pro-barracks (Jackson Yi), thus gaining the opportunity to meet the Prime Minister. By chance, Zhang Da and Sun Jun are involved in a huge conspiracy. Qin Gui (Lei Jiayin) asks them to find the murderer and the letter within an hour, or they will be directly executed.
The second time, Zhang Da mentioned that three dancers had been to Ren Jin's guest room, which may be related to Ren Jin's death. They will be here soon. At this time, Li He (Yi Cheung), head of the Prime Minister's Office, and Wu Yichun (Yun-peng Yue), deputy head, also came. Zhang and Sun did not judge the clues and stabbed a dancer with a dagger. The leading lyre (Wang Jiayi) gave up the wrong time to play overtime, in which case another player, Wang San, was withdrawn.
The third time, after Ding was arrested, he wanted to taste something for the Prime Minister to give a clue, and then he gave up the pro-barracks and ().
The fourth time, Sun Jun killed Wang Biao by mistake, and the clue was broken. Ding hijacked Zhang Da, killed Ding with an arrow, and the clue was broken again.
Seeing this, I can't help but doubt Sun Junlai. It's a little secretive. Is Sun Jun the big boss?
The fifth time, Zhang Da pointed out that it must have something to do with the kitchen. Here, the relationship between the groom Liu Xi and Zhang Da is also very clear. They are a group. This "letter" is in Liu Xi's hand, and the code word is to kill Li He, the supervisor.
The sixth time, Liu Xi failed to assassinate Li He and was captured. Zhang Da, Wu Yichun and his men arrived, and they took the book by surprise.
For the seventh time, Zhang Da pointed out that the letter must be a bronze inscription, and none of them knew it. Only Ji Yaoqin, who accompanied the gold man, knew. Surprisingly, Hector read the letter and ate it.
For the eighth time, Wu Yichun wanted to detain Geng Chen in Beijing and expose collusion with Jin people.
The ninth time, Li He took out Qin Gui Shouyu, and Wu Yichun turned against him. Zhang da met heptachlor, and it turned out that they were also a group and closely related. The purpose is to assassinate Qin Gui.
The tenth time, Geng Chen failed to assassinate and was captured; Zhang Da, captured; Wu Yichun was killed.
The eleventh time, Li He privately saw the contents of the lyre collection. Gengchen and Li He both went offline, and Zhang Da led Qin Gui's cell to read the letter, and joined Sun Jun to wait for an opportunity to assassinate Qin Gui. Sun Jun defected and killed Zhang Da.
The first time 12, also the climax of the film, Sun Jun coerced Qin Gui to recite Yue Fei's last words, which led to the impassioned "Man Jiang Hong" being recited by the whole army. Seeing this, you can't help asking how a prime minister in Qin Gui can recite Yue Fei's last words so excitedly.
It turned out that Qin Gui was not Qin Gui, but body double, who was in close contact with Mahjong. A group of little people died, and the ultimate goal was to recite his last words, which was the biggest reversal of the movie.
From the beginning, when Zhang Da was arrested, he led out Ding Qide, then led out Ding to set fire, and led out,, Wu Yichun, etc. Every character's sacrifice is planned by one hand, and they are all pushing the story line, step by step, getting closer and closer to the truth and Qin Gui. I have to say that this design is very old-fashioned and unpredictable.
