——The missing three hundred thousand taels, the female ghost in white who cannot escape
Lu Chi, the eldest son of the Duke of Guo, was newly promoted to Lu Jiu in the Lu Ke Division.
If a person does not know the way, his strength can cut through iron, and his martial arts may sometimes work well but sometimes fail.
Only those eyes are specialized in picking out flaws that others cannot see.
Late at night in Yingtian Mansion, three secret room murders occurred one after another. The Prime Minister of Taichang Temple, the Director of the Ministry of Works, and the Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Works, three imperial officials with strange smiles on their faces, died in their locked bedrooms. An ink painting of a lady appeared out of thin air on the wall, and a sad female voice always sounded faintly after the crime -
Female ghost seeking life? Or is someone using ghosts to kill people?
Lu Chi was ordered to investigate the case, and the more he investigated, the more frightened he became: the three deceased people were all the people responsible for the Jiangfengdi case thirty years ago; the faceless woman in white in the painting, the three-inch golden lotus embroidered with anemones, and the blood book hidden in the secret room all pointed to the same person - a "dead man" who should have died twenty years ago.
Three hundred thousand taels of river silver disappeared out of thin air, and one hundred thousand taels quietly entered the palace. Some people pretended to be blind for thirty years just to wait for revenge, some borrowed knives to kill people just to protect themselves, and some people were hiding at the brightly lit ferry, waiting for the half piece of jade pendant he got to completely cut off all evidence.
As Lu Chi got closer to the truth step by step, the palace's decree was suppressed: this case should not be investigated again.
But Lu Chi didn't believe this evil - he solved this old case, but unexpectedly uncovered a deeper palace door: buried under the late emperor's mausoleum was a secret that the entire dynasty did not dare to touch.
