Jiangnan Weird Record

The mysterious case of the Southern Song Dynasty was filled with undercurrents, and a county magistrate set aside the bloody conspiracy under the misty rain in the south of the Yangtze River. In the twenty-sixth year of Shaoxing, the Southern Song Dynasty was in a corner. Thousands of sailboats racing in Mingzhou Port cannot cover up the threat of the Jin Kingdom and the preparations of Qin Hui's remaining party. Shen Yan, the newly appointed magistrate of Yin County, stepped into the quagmire of prosperity and decay with the mysterious case of his late father and a remnant jade. A famous silk shop craftsman mysteriously "immolated himself", a corpse sunk at the bottom of a lake revealed his father's trace, blood spilled in the secret room of a giant ship in South Asia, and the Sanskrit sounds of a thousand-year-old ancient temple turned into demonic shadows... One after another of the strange murder cases, the techniques are unique and the fog is thick. Shen Yan relied on his extraordinary wisdom and self-taught autopsy skills, and with the assistance of Gengzhi County Lieutenant Chen Feng/erudite professor Zhao Buqi/cold female doctor Su Tang, he was able to peel off the cocoon. The city captain, who is both an enemy and a friend, promotes Gu Yanxiu/Liu Gongquan, a wealthy businessman with a city as vast as the sea, making the situation even more turbulent. However, behind the seemingly independent cases, a huge shadow called the "Golden Mau Society" is controlling everything. Technological monopoly, shady imperial examinations, sea trade smuggling, outflow of copper coins, gunpowder smuggling, cult incitement... Everything points to a shocking conspiracy that shakes the country - to deliver strategic materials to the powerful enemy in the north, subvert the prosperity of Jiangnan, and wait for an opportunity to invade south! While solving the case, Shen Yan stepped closer to the truth about his father's injustice, and was even more involved in the whirlpool of the fate of his family and country. From the dyeing vats of Mingzhou's silk workshop to the skeletons in the deep lake, from the bloody decks of Nanyang merchant ships to the deep secret passages of ancient temples, to the life-and-death showdown in Lin'an City. Can he tear through the hypocritical appearance of "impeccable gold" in the midst of officialdom, powerful obstruction, and powerful enemies, protect this precarious Jiangnan, and uncover the bloody mystery that has entangled two generations?
