Daliang Secret Case Record: Silent Evidence

The background of the story is set in the period of prosperity and decline of the fictional dynasty "Daliang". On the surface, this was a peaceful and prosperous age with flourishing humanities and prosperous imperial examinations. In fact, the court was controlled by the "Jiu Qing" family and the imperial power fell away. There is a strange folk custom called "listening to the rain". That is, on nights of heavy rain, people believe that the souls of the dead will convey their unfulfilled wishes through the rain. However, this is not superstition, but a means of social control based on special acoustic and psychological cues. The 'Si Tianjian' and 'Dali Temple' in the capital are superficially responsible for astronomical calendars and prisons, but in fact they secretly monitor this folk anomaly and use it as a tool for political struggle. The city is divided into 'Lifang' and 'Waiguo'. Lifang is a closed community where the powerful live together and has independent judicial immunity; Waiguo is a place where common people and merchants live together, where public security is chaotic and the black market is prevalent. The entire society is like a huge network, and everyone is a node on the network, and one move affects the whole body. The air is damp and cold, and there is no sunshine all year round, symbolizing the decaying core of this dynasty.
