Records of Strange Stories from the Ming Dynasty: Jin Yiwei's Account Book

On August 15th of the ninth year of Zhengde, Jinyiwei Xiaoqi Lu Zheng woke up in a pile of corpses. Three subordinates were lying on their sides, each with a Xiuchun knife mark on their throat. The murderer pointed at his immediate boss, Jin Yiwei Baihu Zhou Yan. But behind the murderer, there is a bigger shadow - Dongchang Admiral Cao Jixiang. The daughter of a widower hid the clues she found in the documents he carried with him, and wrote the truth in crooked handwriting. A prison robbery, a dock surveillance, and a line drawing became irrefutable evidence of collaboration with the enemy. Lu Zheng took a secret order, a box of defense plans, and an autopsy record from thirty years ago, and broke into the Temple of Heaven ceremony alone. In front of the civil and military officials of the dynasty and the Zhengde Emperor, he uncovered the shocking shady story that had entrenched the government and the public for ten years.
