Records of Weird Stories of the Ming Dynasty

During the Wanli period, everything in the world could be pawned and all was debt. Love is a debt, fate is a debt, cause and effect is a debt, and national destiny is also a debt. Zhang Jin, the auditor of the Ministry of Household Affairs, was born with a heart debt that he could not repay - his heart was pledged by his father to the mysterious "Tongji Pawnshop" when he was five years old. However, he also has a pair of eyes that can see all the "debts" in the world. The corruption of officials is a black debt, the grievances of the people are a bloody debt, and the luck of the dynasty is a bloody bad debt that is about to expire. In the Wanli Dynasty, where secrets were rampant and debts were overwhelming, Zhang Jin used his pen as his sword and his accounts as a warning. What he audited was not only the deficit of the warehouse, but also the cannibalistic mining tax, the blood-stained salt bait, the smuggling network entangled with barbarian merchants and pirates, and even the death contract of national subjugation called the "Hongwu Contract" that hung over the heads of all living beings. And the countdown of the tickets on his chest is moving toward the end minute by second. He wanted to make a thorough reckoning with this endless hell before his heart was taken away.
