The county magistrate Luo Guanzhong invited celebrities: Shao Fanwen, a former bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, Zhang Lanbo, a court poet, Deacon Lu, a Zen monk, and Youlan, a controversial poetess who was being escorted on suspicion of whipping her maid to death. However, before the banquet started, a murder suddenly occurred - the body of Song Yiwen, a scholar who devoted himself to studying local history, was found rented in a courtyard, and his throat was cut with a sharp knife; the next day, the dancer Xiaofeng died in the county government banquet hall, and the murder weapon was directed at the female poet Youlan! Di Renjie, the magistrate of Puyang County, was stranded in Jinhua due to official duties and was forced to be involved in two strange cases. As the investigation deepens, clues point to an eerie black fox temple in the wasteland on the outskirts of the city. The idiot "Saffron" who guards this place becomes a key witness. Judge Dee peeled off the cocoon and discovered that Song Sheng's death was closely related to the old treason case of General Mo Deling eighteen years ago, and the real murderer was hidden among the guests...
