About the book
Chang'an, 753. The dead chancellor is being dug up and stripped of his jade, and the accusation being used to do it is that he plotted with a Turkic chief who broke away last year — and that chief's horses have been coming apart across the northern frontier for eight months. None of which concerns Chang Nine, who is hired by a carting widow to settle a warranty dispute about a horse. She tells him the exact truth in ninety seconds, which nobody has ever done. The certificate says the animal is six; its mouth says eleven; and the superintendency that issued the certificate closed nine years ago. A brand cannot be removed — so it is completed, and for three weeks each spring you can see where.
