Detective Dee Renjie Part 4: Tianshu Trilogy

Introduction to the novel "Detective Di Renjie (Part 4)" In the second year of the Holy Calendar, strange murders occurred one after another in Yizhou, central Sichuan. Several officials died suddenly, mysterious insect patterns were found on the bodies, and rumors of "witchcraft" spread among the people. Di Renjie was ordered to inspect and took Li Yuanfang and Zeng Tai deep into the southwest. After investigation, it was found that the so-called "gu technique" was actually a sophisticated poisoning method, and behind it was a "previous jade ultimatum" involving royal secrets, and the clues pointed directly to a mysterious organization called "Tianshu". Before taking a breather, another strange case occurred in Luoyang, the capital of China. Imperial examination scholars disappeared one after another in the "ghost market" in the south of the city, and wrote "Destiny will not return" written in blood on the spot. Judge Dee secretly investigated and discovered that there was a terrible conspiracy to manipulate people's hearts and forge "God's will" hidden under the ghost market. Sitiantai officials were involved in it, and the target was the "Destiny" foundation of the Queen's rule. When urgent reports came from the coast of the East China Sea that the "Fairy Mountain Mirage" appeared and fishing boats and warships disappeared one after another, Di Renjie realized that the poisoning in Shu, Luoyang's conspiracy, and the weapons under the phantom on the sea were all consecutive moves of the same big chess game. He went east to Dengzhou and uncovered the overseas military camps covered up by mirages in the stormy waves. The man behind the scenes turned out to be the "Tianshu" who was a remnant of the previous dynasty and was in cahoots with the palace officials. His ambition was to overthrow Wu Zhou and Li Tang at the same time and draw chestnuts from the fire. From the mysterious case of insect poison in Bashan Shushui, to the battle for destiny in the ghost market of Luoyang, to the mirage soldiers above the East China Sea, Di Renjie peeled off the cocoons and found a glimmer of truth among the many conspiracies and grand conspiracies. However, when the final black hand emerges, he faces not only appalling crimes, but also the endless abyss of power and people's hearts. This time, can Judge Dee stabilize the situation before the storm comes?
