When the city gate opens, people come in and out; when the books are turned over, lives fall out.
In Kaifeng in the Northern Song Dynasty, three official-sealed wooden boxes appeared in Liangmen's incense and candle shop. Inside the boxes were actually the "Inspection Book of Internal Treasure Cards". The Imperial City Division seized the case, sealed it, and took away the box, but they couldn't take away one thing: the name of the person who handled it was written on the paper. The little scribe Shen Yan does not rely on a knife or a system, but only relies on rules and files, and writes every pair of hands that reach out into the case.
Whoever's name is written first lives first. At the end of the investigation, he realized: this is not a murder case, but a ledger for the world.
