During the Sukang period, the emperor was obsessed with immortality and secretly searched for the elixir Nine Purple Pills. There was an undercurrent under the calm situation between the government and the public.
One night of wind and rain, Jing Xiaohou died suddenly in the study. His death was in a strange manner, leaving only a few riddle words, which shocked the capital.
Shen Jingchen, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple and the official of the Zhencha Si, was ordered to conduct a thorough investigation. He is dark and solemn, and his mind is like an abyss. A murder case in the Hou Mansion revealed old secrets, household plots, mysterious forces and murderous intentions.
The road ahead is full of dangers, and strange people and strange people enter the game one after another. If you don't fight, you won't get to know each other, and eventually they will form an iron triangle of investigation. The secret technique of Feng Shui is looming, a series of mysteries arise one after another, the Nine Purple Pills are vague, and the mastermind behind the scenes is hard to find.
No one knows that the death of the Hou Mansion is just the beginning of an overall overthrow of the dynasty. What they solve is never just a murder case, but the deepest darkness in the human heart and the most mysterious chess game of heaven.
