Su Qi, the secretary of the ninth rank of Qingshui County Yamen, has three major creeds in life:
1. Never work overtime.
2. Any job that doesn't pay overtime is a scam.
3. Live a small life, eat well and drink well.
Seeing that the You hour had arrived, Su Qi was about to get off work on time to eat wontons, but was blocked by a mad dog that uttered "severed fingers". What's even more terrible is that the severed finger is still wearing the family token of the new county magistrate who is about to take office - the son of the Pei family, the top dignitary in the capital.
For the "overtime pay" of two taels of silver, Su Qi was forced to show off her amazing post-mortem reasoning skills.
Unexpectedly, after this exposure, he would be targeted by the new county magistrate Pei Jing, who was rumored to be a dandy.
Pei Jing: "Su Sishu, I'm going to visit Yizhuang tonight with my officer. There will be many rewards."
Su Qi: "Sir, it's Xu Shi now, and it's off-duty time. You have to pay extra, double."
This is the daily routine of a hard-core (money-demanding) detective story about an ancient salted fish worker who was forced to get involved in a shocking case in court, and fell in love with his immediate boss.
