Introduction to "Lighting the Bones"
In the 19th year of Yongle's reign, he came to the capital.
Shen Du, a young man who walked out of Fengyang Mansion's coffin shop, took an ancient jade and a last word left by his grandfather and applied for the job of Shuntian Mansion.
He didn't know that thirty years ago, the Shen family had been the "Lamp Holders" that made the government and the public aware of the situation - a mysterious family that specializes in examining corpses and illuminating grievances. In the thirty-first year of Hongwu's reign, the Shen family was wiped out overnight. Only grandpa fled back to Fengyang with the lamp and extinguished the lamp with his own hands.
Today, a headless skeleton soaked in vinegar was unearthed from a ruined temple in Dengshikou using a technique unique to the Shen family.
The official Tang Jingtian told Shen Du: The lamp that went out contained the details of the unjust cases of more than 30 years in the Ming Dynasty. Some people have been looking for it, some people have been afraid of it, and the last lantern holder of the Shen family must make a choice——
Should we continue to pretend to be deaf and dumb, or should we relight the lamp and illuminate the truth buried beneath the bones?
Examine bones, solve puzzles, and chase the murderer. A Ming Dynasty martial arts suspense about darkness and light.
