Dayu was in the 15th year of Taiping.
The Department of Bone Examination was destroyed overnight, one hundred and seventy-three people in the family were executed, and all the classics were destroyed. The official said it was corruption and rebellion, but the truth was buried in the bones.
Shen Duanshuang, the daughter of the last head of the Bone Examination Department, was only seven years old when her family was exterminated. Adopted by an old man, he grew up in Yizhuang and among the dead. It is a serious sin to sit at the same table as an official if you are a lowly official, do not enter the main hall, do not sit on the bench.
Everyone looked down upon her.
Until she opened a white skeleton and said three words in front of a room full of officials: "That's not right."
The direction of the fracture was restored to that of the struggle, the color of the bone seam detected poison, and the degree of bone erosion locked the time of death - to others it seemed almost miraculous, but she just read the words left on the bones by the dead.
Ironclad case? Her bones turned upside down.
Case closed? She overturned the court alone.
Silence? The Ministry of Justice burned Yizhuang and closed the streets. She crawled out from the underground drain and slapped the evidence on the table of Dali Temple.
The fragments of the "Nine Records of Bone Examination" left behind by his father were recovered every time a major case was solved, and each recovered volume revealed a corner of the truth behind the family's extermination. The day when the nine records are gathered together is the time when the Bone Examiner will clear up the injustice.
Pei Xingyuan, the young minister of Dali Temple, said: "You speak for the dead, and I will protect the living for you."
Shen Duanshuang said: "Bones don't lie."
——She doesn't believe in heaven or fate, she only believes in bones.
