Reader note

"The Case of the Sinful Buddha: The Female Jinyi Guard Kills the Buddha When She Encounters a Case, and Kills a Demon When She Encounters a Demon", the story begins with a murder case in the "Jinxiu Pavilion", the top embroidery workshop in the capital. The skilled embroiderer Su Axiu was found murdered in a very strange way in the workshop. Her blood was used to complete an unfinished embroidery called "A Hundred Birds Pay Attention to the Phoenix". Silk threads were intertwined with blood vessels, presenting a terrifying scene of "living threads sewing souls". Shen Qingchuan, a member of the female Jin Yiwei family, was ordered to investigate. With his profound knowledge of medicine and poison, he discovered that the deceased was accurately bled to death while he was conscious. The murderer used special drugs to keep his mind clear so as to feel the extreme pain. The method of committing the crime was both cruel and sophisticated with a sense of ritual. The heroine of the novel, Shen Qingchuan, is a member of hundreds of royal families and is proficient in medicine and poison. The male protagonist Gu Changyuan, Qian Hu, the female protagonist's court supporter. The male protagonist Li Wuhuan is the master of Wangyou Pavilion and the core of the intelligence network. The three team up to solve a series of mysterious cases (mysteries, strange cases, forbidden cases, special cases, trick cases...), And the clues all point to the extremist organization "Sin Buddha" - under the banner of "purifying the world", they use secret techniques to create murderous cases and eliminate the so-called "filth". Sin Buddha targets powerful officials in the court, and the conspiracy to shake the foundation of the country is about to come out. All unit cases in this novel are independent chapters, but they form a closed loop due to the infiltration of "Sinful Buddha". The hidden identities and secrets behind Shen Qingchuan, Gu Changyuan, and Li Wuhuan will be revealed as the cases are continuously solved, and the "Sinful Buddha"'s conspiracy against the government and the opposition has also surfaced one by one.

Reader note

The unit story of the female channel is not finished yet, but the main plot does not affect the unit plot, and the unit plot promotes the development of the main plot. Currently, I personally like the last two cases the best. They are short and concise. Here is the synopsis: In order to save her family, Qiao Lanzhi resolutely stepped into Dali Temple and met Fang Tingyu, the son of the eldest princess, the commander of the Jinyi Guards, and Fang Yili, the free and uninhibited little prince. Although the rivers and lakes and the court seem to be two different worlds, they hide countless clues. Qiao Lanzhi, who is new to officialdom, and this group of partners with different personalities - the Machiavellian Fang Tingyu, the cynical Fang Yili, the taciturn Zuo, the princess who loves the world, the wise and hidden young man of Dali Temple, the secretive prince, and the strange people in the world - jointly uncovered the truth of each bizarre case. Qiao Lanzhi worked step by step, searching for the truth in the intertwining of officialdom and Jianghu, but found that the road down the mountain was far more thorny and thrilling than imagined! 1. The ghost market hides the murderer: Why are there so many gangsters assassinating the prince? 2. Rakshasa (case closed): The newlyweds died tragically late at night. Is it really a ghost? 3. Long Live Qianqiu (case closed): Is there really a monster with a human face and an animal body in the world? 4. Xihui Canzhuang (case closed): What secrets does this most prosperous theater in the capital hide? Who designed it to imprison us? Who killed them? 5. Xiong Shanjun (Case closed): The mountain god became angry and killed countless people, leaving the people in panic and unable to leave their homes. (Note: Although the background of this story is set in the Ming Dynasty, the plot characters and government system are purely fictional and have nothing to do with real history.) [But the author has a habit of taking a break every time he finishes writing a unit]

Core tags: historical suspense, detectives of the Tang Dynasty, Wu Zhou's schemes, counterattacks of little people "Luoyang Three Days Book": When the abacus rings, the dynasty changes its accounts! How could a small financial official maintain his life for the Tang Dynasty for seventy-two hours between the empress and the cruel officials with a Book of Hell? --- [Like] [Fatal Ledger · Silent Thunder] In the sacred capital of Luoyang, the Shangyuan Lantern Festival is about to happen. The lights all over the city are like daylight, but they cannot shine into the dusty corners of the households. [Top post] An old account book called "Luoyang Three Days Book" was opened tremblingly by Li Suan, a ninth-grade official. His fingertips crossed the disguised entries of "Tan Jing" and "Bing Jing", and his pupils shrank suddenly - this was no account, it was clearly a death list written in numbers, a blueprint for a coup that outlined the downfall of the dynasty. [Top post] Every "deficit" in the account book corresponds to a murder disguised as an accident; every "filial piety" is a bloody tie connecting the twenty-seven important officials of the dynasty. And when his eyes fell on the row of scarlet and dazzling bloody fingerprints on the last page, Li Shuan understood: Seventy-two hours later, Empress Wu Zetian will usher in the darkest end at the most dazzling lantern festival. [Top post] The bead rings softly, and a life-and-death game with numbers as the knife and accounts as the game begins. This little person who only knows how to settle accounts has unintentionally become the humblest but most critical weight in the scale of history. --- [Like] [Exclusive Highlights·Four Critical Hits] [Like] 1. Original "financial crime solving flow", creating a new track of historical suspense. When all the protagonists are cultivating immortals, practicing martial arts, and fighting in palaces and houses, Li Suan's weapons are only an abacus and a pair of eyes. He smells blood, tracks power and money, and deciphers conspiracies from boring book numbers. This is not a dimensionality reduction attack by a time traveler, but a desperate survival attempt by an ancient "audit dog" who maximizes his professional capabilities in a desperate situation. The crackling sound of the abacus is more frightening than the sword; the audit report has become a soul-chasing message more deadly than the imperial edict. [Top post] 2. Countdown to seventy-two hours, the heartbeat and the second hand resonate. The book uses "three days before the Shangyuan Lantern Festival" as the dead limit, compressing the tension to the extreme. From the appearance of the account book, to being chased by cruel officials, to dealing with the cracks between Wu Zetian, Princess Taiping, and Lai Junchen, he was walking on the edge of a knife every moment. The rhythm is as fast as a drum beat, and the suspense is heightened layer by layer. It makes people breathless, but they can't help but follow it all night long. [Top post] 3. Filled with historical details, the story explores the true historical gaps in the first year of Wu Zetian's success in proving the party's cranial carnival. The hidden rules of officialdom of "charcoal respect and ice respect" and the shocking fraud case of "water transport shipwreck" are all based on history. The author uses solid details to resurrect Luoyang, the sacred city with surging undercurrents in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, allowing readers to enjoy the pleasure of solving puzzles while immersing themselves in the real and heavy historical curtain. [Top post] 4. The ultimate resonance of little people, the heroic dream of every ordinary person. Li Suan has no power, no affiliation, no authority. His fear and struggle resonate with every ordinary person who is burdened and moving forward in reality. See how he uses his only skill of "settling accounts" to influence the chess game of the entire dynasty. This kind of counterattack based on professionalism and courage is far more passionate than divine power, and can ignite the heroic fire of "I can do something too" in the hearts of readers. --- [Like] [Exclusively for fans of historical suspense·More than just reading] Following the update of "Three Days in Luoyang" is an immersive "case-solving" experience: · High-energy section evaluation area: Every digital foreshadowing is a battlefield for readers to decipher the puzzle. Collide with thousands of fellow "detectives" in the comment area, and your reasoning may become the key to lighting up others. · Co-creation of famous scenes: The strong visual sense and dense climax plot can easily trigger readers' spontaneous screenshot sharing, secondary creation and topic fermentation. You are the co-creator of popular content. · Prospective IP potential: Its novel "financial conspiracy" setting, strong plot conflict and movie-level quality make it have extremely high potential for short dramas and film and television adaptations. Every time you read and interact, you are voting for the future of this potential work. --- [Like] [The Ultimate Hook·Waiting for You] If numbers could lie, then the truth would be hidden in the bloody fingerprints on the last page. If the prosperous age is an illusion, then the destruction will be in the light of seventy-two hours. Wu Zetian is above the bright hall, waiting for an "audit report" that will allow her to see everyone clearly; Princess Taiping is behind the curtain, treating everyone as a disposable chess piece; Lai Junchen's minions are already sharpening their knives outside the door. And Li Suan, this little man standing in the center of the storm, only has an abacus and a heart that is unwilling to let the gods be burned in the fire. If the accounts are not fair, people's lives are at risk; figures are like a knife, hanging at the throat of the dynasty. Open the "Luoyang Three Days Book" and this time, you will witness the ending of history. . .
