Bao Qingtian: the Ten Punishments of Yama

During the Qingli period of the Northern Song Dynasty, a series of strange cases occurred in Bianliang, Tokyo. Within seven days, three court officials died in strange ways: the first had his tongue pulled out, the second had his heart gouged out, and the third was suffocated to death in a steamer. A black jade Yama Order was left at the scene, with a letter written in blood - "The fourth sentence: punishment on a copper pillar, lasting seven days." Bao Zheng, the governor of Kaifeng, was shocked to realize that the murderer was imitating the legendary "Ten Halls of Hell Trial", and the next target was actually the deputy privy envoy of the dynasty. What made the whole city even more uproar was that on the eve of the incident, dozens of people witnessed "Bao Qingtian" dressed in black robes, standing on the Bian River, with blood lotus under his feet, like a judge from the underworld before his death. Is someone pretending to be a frame-up, or is it inner demons at work? Facing the double doubts of "Yin and Yang Realms", Bao Zheng, Zhan Zhao, and Gongsun Ce must race against time to uncover the truth before the next "seven days". However, with in-depth investigation, they found that all the clues pointed to a Xuzhou disaster relief corruption case 20 years ago that had been designated as an "iron case" by the late emperor. The blood and tears of the 300,000 victims back then have now turned into the death-seeking Yama. When Bao Zheng finally stood in front of the mastermind behind the scenes, what awaited him was the ultimate torture about justice, law and revenge - "If the laws of this world are dead, what's wrong with me enforcing the law in ghost ways?"
