In the 21st year of Jiajing's reign, murders occurred frequently in Huguang, plague was rampant, and people were in dire straits. Zhu Houcong (the emperor) was furious when he heard about it, and sent Xie Weiyi, the inspector general, to Guangdong and Guangxi to handle the case. Xie Weiyi went there with the order. On his way to take office, a murder occurred in Qingyuan County. The concubine of Du Kangyong, a well-known medical family, was poisoned and died. His daughter Du Guan Hongye was under serious suspicion and disappeared mysteriously. Xie Weiyi encountered big trouble as soon as he took office. Soon after, Yan Zelan, a member of the Fusi Qianhu family in Beizhen, also came to Guangzhou Mansion. Two upstarts from the court gathered together for a while, and the case became more and more complicated and confusing...

"Xie Weiyi, you are so cunning. You have been lying to me from the beginning to the end."
