Human Skin Lantern

In the thirty-seventh year of the Jiajing reign, human skin lanterns appeared on the Qiantang River beach in Hangzhou. The lantern has a human skin as its face, with the words tattooed on it: Those who understand the Japanese, the lantern serves as a warning. The deceased was the official who framed the investigation envoy Shen Jingzhi three years ago. Common people whispered: Shen Jingzhi's ghost came back to claim his life. Lu Zheng, a prosecutor who has been notorious for being a salesman for three years, is ordered to investigate the case. Every time he gets closer, the clues point to someone who shouldn't be there - the new widower Su Wan. Her eyes were exactly the same as those of the dead Shen Jingzhi. He recognized her but pretended not to know her. He burned the evidence and forged directions, thinking he was protecting her, but in fact he was stepping into someone else's game step by step. When the fourth lantern was lit, the Yan Party counterattacked, Lu Zheng was imprisoned, Su Wan was arrested, and the three-year layout collapsed overnight. A secret message came from prison, and it was signed by a traitor who was despised by everyone - it turned out that the master never bet on just one person. The human skin lantern is not revenge, it is the last game of chess played by a dead man from the grave in three years. Playing chess under the lamp, what is being played is the truth. The dead are silent, but the lights are on. This novel and its characters are purely fictitious. Any similarity is purely coincidental and should not be imitated.
