A strange murder occurred in Yong'an City!
The former censor died tragically in a secret room, with copper coins with inscriptions embedded in his mouth, and a picture of Yama's tongue-pulling hell hanging on the wall.
The people of the whole city knelt down in fear: The underworld came to the world, and God punished the sinners!
Only Ye Guanlan (Ye Zhao), a man who lives in seclusion and returns to the law, can see through it at a glance - there are no ghosts and gods, but all are man-made disasters.
Four years ago, he was a judge of Dali Temple with a promising future. He was deeply involved in an unjust case of treason and was sentenced to prison to survive. Four years later, the Ten Palaces of Yama case swept across. Is it God's punishment or the power of officials to wipe out their crimes? The emperor sat high in the Zichen Palace and reaped the benefits.
If the law of the country is unfair, what is wrong with lynching?
The world is turbid, I will return to the law!
